I know, "Information Age" sounds a little circa 1995, but Web 2.0 sounds hokey to me (sorry, I don't like it...have to laugh a little when I hear people use it...which is good for you to know in case you meet me and see me giggling wildly...it's usually...

This week marks the end of awesome Sakun's internship. Sakun returns to finish up her Masters of HR (after her impressive CS undergrad degree and an MBA...whew!). The HR interns, like Sakun, that are offered positions (like Sakun) and accept (like Sakun...

Microsoft's Crabby Office Lady goes all RSS on you . Hey, if you strive to be an MSOffice power-user (and who doesn't?), Ms. Crabby has lots of snarky tips and tricks to get you there. I like her recent entry on Outlook Contacts helpful. Tools you can...

In my job, I think a lot about talent "pools". I wish I had another word. I find smart people, consider what they have in common with other smart people and where they get together and I reach out to them. Pretty much my job in a nutshell. It combines...

Just say no.

Yes, you too can DateLance.com! Whew, good thing I am not "down with the 'big family thing'". You can read commentary from Monsterblog here . My personal take: 1) If it's viral advertising, I think hawking your employee's romantic life is bit gross...

Keith Hammond's snark meter goes to eleven in his piece, "Why I Hate HR" (you might need a fast Company Subscription to view but I think the link goes public after the issue's been out a while). I agree with some of the points he's trying to make. ...
