Got more applicants than you can shake a stick at?

Monday, July 14th, 2008

So, you’re a growing company, and you have just put out the word that you’re hiring, requesting potential recruits to send in their application. That’s when the proverbial stink-bomb hits the proverbial stink-bomb-spreader. If the response is overwhelming, then you most definitely will be letting some of the most valuable applicants slip through the cracks in your HR department. Unless you have a proven and effective
applicant tracking system in place, receiving applications from your corporate website, various job boards (online and offline), recruitment vendors, and in-house hiring managers - will be an organizational nightmare.

Get Fit With a Wii? - Try THIS!

Friday, February 1st, 2008



 

This is a hilarious parody of the supposed phenomenon that you can get fit while using your Nintendo Wii.

I love some of the descriptions in this video….
“you’ll love leaning side to side, with amazing graphics…”
“and what about, ’sticking out your leg’”
“WiiFIT combines the perfect balance of barely moving, and doing mundane things…”
“We think you’ll enjoy Wii FIT’s… step-up-on-the-white-thing game”

LOL! This is priceless…

Hosting Reviews and Comparison is No Joke

Wednesday, December 5th, 2007

With the proliferation of blogs and personal websites, many people are turning to the internet to keep their daily diary, or a collection of items about their family or selves - not to mention the huge growth and acceptance of the internet for business marketing purposes.

With this exponential growth of websites comes a huge demand for affordable, easy to use hosting services. While there are many free hosting services with these new social networking sites, cheap website hosting has many advantages over the free versions. Host comparisons and reviews will help you with your decisions. This beginners guide to hosting may help as well.

About Free Web Hosting

Is anything really free? That’s a wise moniker that goes a long way… especially online. For any free hosting service provider you come across, there are always disadvantages of free webhosting. To begin with, you cannot have your own domain name in many instances. Instead of your own domain name (EG: www.MyDomainName.com), you’ll likely receive a folder and limited space at the host’s domain name. Your domain name will usually appear after the “/” of the hosts full domain name (EG: www.FreeHostingCo.com/MyDomainName). While this may be acceptable for a family photo album, it’s not good for business in the long term because you are not able to establish your own Web presence.

What Your Children Learn On The Internet

Monday, October 1st, 2007


 

Poor little Billy. His Mom wasn’t there guiding him while he surfed the net. Now his life is changed forever.

I think the internet did this to all of us, a little bit. Maybe not the whole ‘doing the poodle’ thing, but it has definitely exposed us to things which we never thought we’d see. Or hoped never existed.
