Meet Lawson Clarke
Male Copywriter looking for work.
This guy rocks.
There’s nothing more to say and if he was writing this, that’s exactly how he’d say it.
Red, white and blue, in a depressing way.

Very powerful when you see the transformation.
Happy to be Employed or Happily Employed?
Do you think people are happy in their jobs or just happy they have jobs?
Are companies seeing an influx in Rotten Apple Syndrome?
I’ve heard from handfuls of ‘rotten apples’ who say they are just happy to have jobs. This is so disheartening, especially when I was lucky enough to find a great career during the worst of our economic [...]
Recession = Repair
I just saw an interesting story on the news that certain professions are doing extremely well recently. These jobs are in car repair, shoe repair, furniture repair, computer repair…see a theme? Repair, repair, repair. Seems people are dealing with what they have instead of trying to just replace.
Maybe people should look at this as an opportunity [...]

Social Networking is a viable recruitment source for younger generation
Bernard Hodes Group says that Social Networking IS a viable recruitment source for attracting the younger workforce! Yes, that’s sarcasm but with respect. While this really isn’t a surprise to anyone, I was still blown away and impressed with the percentages that were calculated. Check out the New Voices Project study, it’s definitely worth a read.

Future Employee Parking and Social Recruiting
Have you ever seen those signs that are posted in parking spaces at Property Management offices found in many apartment complexes that read “Future Resident Parking”?

Can you find Gen Y?
I often complain of the communication disconnect between job seekers and recruiters, but it’s even more challenging to target a specific demographic. However, if it’s Gen Y’s that you’re trying to find, it’s actually pretty darn easy. It’s not going be using a job board or an ad in the paper. It’s going to be on [...]

Every American who will vote has been conducting [...]
