Have I told you how excited I am these days? Ask me about how things are going as the new kid on the block over at Marriott International… and I’m excited. Like over the moon excited. I’m excited about this role. About the company. About the opportunity. About their excitement for digital/social media/mobile. About the potential to do big, great …
After a little over five years, I will be leaving the longest, committed relationship I’ve ever been in – my post at APCO Worldwide. Today is my last day. Scary. Next week, I will be the new kid on the block joining Marriott International’s corporate headquarters as director of digital talent strategy within their talent acquisition center of expertise. Exciting. …
It’s out with the old and in with the new. Next week, when you return to trusty Fistful of Talent, you’ll want to check out our new site and see what we’ve cooked up for you by way of a newer, better user experience. We’re out with the old Typepad blogging platform which served us well for so long and …
I had a root canal the other week. Ugh. The pain pre-root canal? Awful. The relief afterward? Amazing. As I was lying back in the chair, endodontist drilling away to relieve me of my toothache, oddly enough, I started thinking about my decision making to get the root canal done, and what the lesson was, if anything… and then it …
There was some “news” this week that broke about acquisitions in the HR technology space. SAP acquired Success Factors which acquired Jobs2Web. Whale eats fish. As an everyday HR gal in the trenches, do these acquisitions really mean anything to me? As a customer of none of those products, not so much. I watch and follow along though just so …
Lots of folks have opinions on what “candidate experience” means and how you define providing great candidate experience. It’s really not that complex though.

I was on vacation over the past few weeks on a trek through Europe. It was amazing and wonderful and such a fantastic time. So much so that I’m now plotting how to move to Paris. It was that great. The out of office response was on. I had ditched the suits and heels. And as my reading material for …
Here’s the truth. Up until a few years ago, I had no idea what the HR Technology Conference was. And lots of folks may be blogging and tweeting about that conference right about now. I’ve now been once to the show, as a blogger… but I’m still not sure that’s my scene. See, ask me generally about HR technology prior …
Yesterday marked the tenth anniversary of 9/11. I was glued to the TV a decent part of the weekend watching special coverage of 9/11… and as I write this on Sunday night, I’m still half watching National Geographic 9/11 specials. Any time there are scenes of the old World Trade Centers or the Pentagon with billows of smoke and debris …
I’ve been thinking about storytelling lately. And Oprah. Because now that I’m married, and officially a 30-something gal… it would only be logical that I found myself watching a whole lotta Oprah, or more accurately, the OWN channel, the other weekend.
