YourHRGuy.com » SHRM Tuesday: Oh My Tired Feet
Apparently eating delicious (but unhealthy) food, drinking hurricanes and walking 1,000 miles in one day isn’t a good way to avoid waking up with a foot cramp. That’s how SHRM Tuesday started out for me. It was a great day after that.
I spoke in the morning with Silkroad about their talent management suite and what they are seeing from …

Monday was a good and busy day for SHRM and Your HR Guy. Here’s a rundown of what happened and how things are playing out.
I started out the morning talking to the Disney Institute about their training programs and they invited me to come check it out at some point. As long as it isn’t during the steamy summer …

YourHRGuy.com » SHRM Conference Sunday – Don’t Call Me The Press
The first day of SHRM seems to always be a wash. You are exhausted from traveling and you just get thrown into the middle of something that is already going. Being as the conference was in New Orleans, it was litterally impossible to get here before 2:00pm without a red eye flight.
This means I missed Jack Welch which was …

The Chad | Enjoy The Game » Job Cross Pollination Duplication
The internet has been experiencing a massive amount of duplicate job content over the past couple of years. No question this content has been used to help job seekers find jobs, unfortunately it has also been used to leverage traffic using duplicative content, extract job seeker information and create many other issues not intended in the free flow of job …

YourHRGuy.com » Updated SHRM 2009 Schedule
I updated my schedule for the 2009 Annual Conference. I forgot to add the fact that I am going to definitely be meeting up with all of my blogging pals before our session. Also, I’ve heard rumor of a tweet up Monday? I don’t know many details about that yet.
I’ve been told the likelihood of getting fresh crawfish at …

YourHRGuy.com » Not Everything In Life Is A Lesson
Photo by David Dow/NBAE/Getty Images
I watched the NBA Finals on Sunday night like a lot of people. As a Portland Trail Blazers fan, watching the Lakers win was like watching Lex Luthor (Kobe Bryant) take down Superman (Dwight Howard): the villain won. As I watched as the Lakers celebrated and the Magic sat there with glazed over eyes, …

The Chad | Enjoy The Game » Talent STRONG!
In January, before demobilizing back to civilian life, I was honored to speak to a group of over 200 Wounded Warriors in Fort Benning regarding transition into civilian life and what they should convey to prospective employers when trying to separate themselves from the mainly civilian pack when searching for a job. Luckily the week prior I was asked to give …

YourHRGuy.com » Love Helping People? Don’t Go Into HR
Like many HR bloggers, I field several questions a month about how to get started in HR. When I hear that their primary reason for considering entry into the field is that they really love working with and helping people, I almost universally tell them to reconsider HR as a profession. Look, I love the passion and optimism of people …

The Chad | Enjoy The Game » CareerBuilder is greasing palms again
Can your niche job board afford to take the top executives in the Nation to Pinehurst Golf Resort for an all expenses paid “Executive Golf Trip“?
CareerBuilder can..
Oh the fine tradition of greasing the palms continues in the recruiting space. (insert deeply rooted sarcasm here)

The Chad | Enjoy The Game » My Thoughts on Job Matching
I’ve been asked for consult on several occasions about whether or not to use job matching systems. Obviously depending on the system my answers will vary although if I’m asked about job matching in general here’s my opinion.
Stand alone job matching platforms do not have a chance against the more traditional models, no matter the economic climate.

YourHRGuy.com » Exit Interviews Are Band Aids On Broken Legs
So let’s say you’re working for a company with turnover problems (i.e. losing your best people to competitors) and management comes to Human Resources to figure out why people are leaving. What far too many HR people will suggest is that the organization should use an exit interview to get the information and report on a quarterly basis. Some will …

YourHRGuy.com » You Wanna Get On My Blogroll?
Since you’re probably not working today anyway, why don’t we take care of a couple of housekeeping issues?
To the right and down from this post, you’ll notice a blogroll. I haven’t updated it in over a year. If you have recently linked in to my posts or commented, you’re probably going to be included in my new and improved …

“Unthinking Respect for Authority is the Greatest Enemy of Truth” – Albert Einstein
What’s fun about having your own blog is that you can juxtapose a topic like bucking authority with a quote from an authority on bucking authority. Quotes, of course, are an indicator of authority. So if Albert Einstein says we shouldn’t unquestionably respect authority, I agree …

YourHRGuy.com » Five Steps To Better Employee Communications
I have always been one of those guys who sees the world in non-exact, change filled, and nebulous ways. I am hesitant to say I am a big picture thinker because everyone loves to say that they are a big picture thinker (while, of course, still being great with details). That’s always a load of crap though. I don’t think …

If you haven’t guessed yet, I am a pretty action oriented. Not to abuse my self-imposed limit of one sci-fi reference per year, I subscribe to Yoda’s adage from Star Wars, “Do or do not. There is no try.” This isn’t an “A” for effort world here folks. Winners celebrate. Losers go home. I love my Portland Trail Blazers and …

YourHRGuy.com » This HR Guy Is Over Your Spelling Mistakes
It is one of the first thing people say about composing your resume: make sure you don’t have any spelling mistakes. Or certainly, a spelling mistake means certain doom even if the rest of your resume looks great. And really, not a day goes by when I don’t see a comment on twitter about how somebody spelled something wrong on …
