SHRM 2010 Recap
Now that we’ve been back from SHRM for 12 hours, we’ve decided to recap our SHRM 2010 experience. First off thanks to everyone that stopped by the Beyond.com booth, wore a badge, and more importantly wore one of our shirts. In fact we had so many attendees in our shirts that we went through our three-day supply in the first hour of the expo on Sunday night that we had to order more shirts for the next two days. It was crazy! EmploymentMetrix -

Top Job Search Trends Amongst College Students and Recent Grads
1. College students and recent graduates are avoiding search for jobs because of the economy. Many are enrolling in grad school in an effort to ride out the recession. 2. Many are taking entry-level jobs which have little to nothing to do with their chosen career paths. They're simply trying to pay the rent. The divergence from their majors and likely greatly reduced earnings will take years and perhaps decades to overcome. 3. The students who are finding it the easiest to get the best jobs...

Nobody Asked You To Move Yet
I have no idea how many blogs there are, and if you google it, you get a pretty big range of answers and no agreement. Let's just say that it is well into the 70 million plus range and there are those who say the number doubles every six months. Maybe they ought to put up another clock in Times Square to count how many are created every minute? There's probably room right under the one that Six-Figure Learnings -

By Todd Bavol, The Job Search Ninja. CEO, Integrity Career Transitions There’s no doubting that some jobs just sound ‘sexier’ than others. Singer, actor or actress, runway model, pilot – they all have that glam appeal and they all sound fun and exciting. Ask the people who do these jobs what they are really like though, and you will probably get a story which doesn’t tie in exactly with what you have in mind. Long working hours, weeks and months spent away from home and families... Job Circle -
