[Daily post from itzbig] How much are your jobs worth?

Hiring managers and the recruiters they work with can ensure that they bring in the highest quality talent by increasing the workplace’s and its culture’s sense of worth. At itzbig, we think that level of graciousness and care can revolutionize the world of employment, and we’re trying to foster that change one job at a time.

BusinessWeek: The Myth of High-Tech Outsourcing

“The U.S. technology industry added almost 150,000 jobs in 2006, according to an Apr. 24 report by the American Electronics Assn. (AeA), an industry trade group.”

Washington Post - On Balance: How to Wreck Your Career

“Over the past 20 or so years, the average workday has increased significantly. The more time employees spend at work, the less time they have to spend at home. This leads inevitably to conflict between work and home, and to a merging of work and family.”

Career Hub: Why Your Networking is Not Working

“Many people neglect their network until they are in job search. If you haven’t talked to someone in eight years and then you try to rekindle the relationship when you are in search mode, the problem is not that you look fake, the problem is that you are fake.”

The Hire Sense: Wrong Way Prospecting

“My guess is that this company will send a bunch of resumes to me and make me sort out which ones to interview without truly knowing what I need. The fact that the candidates may be able to work within 24 hours sounds like summer staffing candidates.”
