Who are you to IGNORE Me?

The Biggest Hiring Mistake You Can Make

Growing companies tend to be inundated with job applications. Sure, its pain to respond to everyone, but Inc.com columnist Jeff Haden says you are making a big mistake if you don't. Here's why:

Its disrespectful to potential employees: People pay your business the highest compliments of all by saying they would like to work for you; after all, it means they would like to spend more time with you than their families. Why is it OK for you to ignore them?

It's terrible PR: Job applicants are often excited about your business, and they tend to share that enthusiasm with friends. If you don't respond, they won't complain to you--but they will certainly complain about you.

Sidenote:We all know how frustrating it is to search for jobs... especially when we need one like yesterday! Back in the day we could easily show our initiative to become employed by waking up early, dressing up and being at the front door with resume and cover letter in hand. Consequently things have changed!
There are now electronic systems that determine how far your resume will go (Look it up). Keywords are becoming the determining factor when submitting resumes (ex. Degrees, adjectives, statistics).

The lady that you use to give your resume/application to in hopes of her turning it in to Human Resources is MISSING...

Be aware of the changes within the workforce....everything important is not always in BOLD print nor is it always the HEADLINE.

Donations Anyone?

When is the last time you donated? What a perfect time of the year to think about others!!! Like many of you I’m always in the stores trying to find a good deal…sometimes its needed, others times we just buy it because it was on sale. Meantime our closet seems like its shrinking because were drowning it with things we really don’t wear or need! Let’s have a change of heart going into the New Year….Lets’ change a Life! Now many of you all may be like “No one wants this junk”....WRONG! If it isn't damaged in any way you can donate it to someone or may be an organization that will SUCCESSFULLY give it to those in need. The chart below lists some very good information that we all should know BEFORE donating to these organizations…….Choose wisely! THINK BEFORE YOU DONATE SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT BEFORE YOU MAKE CONTRIBUTIONS: As you open your pockets to do a good thing and make yourself feel good, please keep the following facts in mind: ------

Black History Month for ALL to Enjoy

So as we head towards the end of Black History Month, I decided to provide some insight on those we may not have learned about in school. LESSON! I randomly selected the Super Stars below to help me Show Off this week. Some of us put so many barriers up in Life that prevents us from accomplishing our goals. I'm Sleepy, I just got off work, and I'm tired are just few of the familiar phrases we often hear and say. I'm almost positive that those before us would laugh at the excuses we make so we can just chill. The Good news is that it's never too late for a Fresh New start. I hope the people below will inspire you to see that anything is possible with consistency, dedication and motivation. *Copy and Paste the Links below to your browser for more info Ballerina Michaela DePrince From: A Remote orphanage in Sierra Leone “Who would want to adopt a girl who looks like you?” The orphanage staff would tell her. http://blackgirllonghair.com/2015/08/michaela
