It’s 2019 and it’s already time for everyone to start implementing New Year’s goals. But before you jump in and make good on your 2019 resolutions, let’s acknowledge that you worked really hard in 2018. Like really hard. You may not have met all of your 2018 personal goals, and maybe missed the mark on one or two objectives, but …
Oh, the joy of New Year’s resolutions. This year I’ve decided to document my 6 professional resolutions (except that I’m lazy and shortened the word “professional” to “profesh.” Why? Well, because I’m a millennial). For those of you who are really anal about making SMART goals, you may want to avert your eyes. These resolutions are not time-bound, and there’s not …
Earlier this month, I joined hundreds of talent acquisition pros in downtown San Francisco for Jobvite’s annual Recruiter Nation Live event (full disclosure: I’m employed by Jobvite). In addition to exchanging some new stories, the best recruiting practices, and winning strategies with our peers, I also had the great pleasure of speaking on-stage with the incredible Molly Bloom.

We celebrate …
Somewhere there’s a marketing manager for a Taxi association. She’s got direct reports and is just hearing about this thing called Uber. She already set some lame goals for her team. Remember that. You? You’re in charge just like her. You’ve got direct reports and all that makes you responsible for. Sweet. It’s April, so now is the time to talk …
I started really running 13 years ago. I had just been laid off, had nothing but time on my hands and needed something to do that was cheap. So I ran. I set a goal of running 5 miles every day, and I have no idea how I got there, but I know by September 2002 I hit it. I’d …
