Background checks, HR, and other stuff.
What's up, world? I am back from my vacation, and I actually have some news otherwise! I came back and found out that the head of HR had quit, and then to my surprise, they asked me if I wanted the job. Of course I said yes because then I can use all my great people finding skills in my profession! So... I'm pretty stoked. That said, I have been doing a lot of background checks lately, and reading a LOT of resumes. I feel like I want to write a book on how to avoid writing a bad resume. It's like people are clueless sometimes. It makes me sad because I'm sure they're nice people... but if they can't even talk about themselves in print intelligently, how am I supposed to trust them to work in this company and do a good job? Right? Anyway... I have some new sites for you all, which is (i know) the reason a lot of you come visit so I don't want to let you down! The first one is about (surprise, surprise) background checks, and the second is actually a myspace page that someone sent to me in place of their "online portfolio." Can you imagine!! I know it's mean, but I thought you might get as much of a laugh out of it as I did... and they'll never be the wiser. ;) By for now, all!
