Welcome one and all to week one of the Carnival of the Recruiters. The theme this week is a perennial favorite of Adam Sandler fans, and for anyone who learned the secret to getting the extra chicken strip or free tater tots, well, this should bring up memories.
Today's posts come from around the Recruiting Blogosphere, with some new voices who entered at the CotR homepage.
Next week, the carnival will be hosted by Paul DeBettignies, so make sure you're sending in your entries by this Friday to the MNHeadhunter. And as a special surprise, if you finish off all of your tasty lunch, there's a special video dessert at the end for you.
For with no further adieu, I present your carnival.
Tator Tots and Fish Sticks: Jason Alba spends his time at the deep fryer, deep in thought on what he wishes Recruiter knew. Lots of people responded to that one.
Pizza (Cheese pizza that is): Joel Cheeseman continues his Sysiphean effort to bring to justice all companies with -ster in their name. In this case, Joel questions the privacy settings for Jobster.
Spaghetti and Meatballs and Garlic Bread: Mike Tiffany delivers a solid meal beloved by all with his description of the differences between selling projects and selling staffing.
Hogies and Grinders: Raj Sheelvant tells us why the globalization of labor is a good thing. A teaser: it saves money and time.
Nutty Bars: Steven Silvers has a tasty treat from one of the
nation's well-known Business Schools. In addition to grades, high
scores, essays, and recommendations, the University of Chicago wants a powerpoint in your application. Sweet! Training the next generation of zombie-makers.
Funyuns: Recruiting Animal digs into the bag of oniony goodness to bewail the clients who think passive candidates should be more aggressive.
Meatloaf: Tim Donnelly has been on vacation but he brought his retail experiences with Hertz and US Airways. He even got an e-mail from Hertz about his experience.
Sloppy Joes: And finally - my favorite post was my comments on non-competes. I air an urban legend that is actually true about non-competes. It didn't happen to me, but to a guy I know.
That's it for the Carnival, and I hope you follow the carnival to Paul's blog next week. Send
your entries in, and if you want to sign up to host, shoot me an
e-mail.
And now, we'll end with that tribute to lunch ladies from Adam Sandler.
