When I wrote about recruiters a few days ago and talked about Steve Levy I clicked over to read some of his posts. I always like reading Steve’s stuff – he tells it like it is, is brutally honest, and has a great perspective. Steve is an awesome person.
This post, though, made me sick. For [...]

Are you on Nick Corcodilos’ newsletter? It’s free, and it’s valuable. My favorite feature is the question and answer session he puts in every newsletter. Last week someone asked:

On Recruiter.com there is a great post that has 10 questions for recruiters to ask themselves about their own careers.

I am frequently asked how to create a LinkedIn Profile if you don’t want your boss to know you are looking for another job.
