Executives - I’m looking especially at you. You nerds.
If you know me, You know I’ve had the pleasure of attending a lot of conferences. I speak at them, cover them and learn from them. I’m a nerd. In that light, I am beating the drum loudly to leaders and HR pros -- especially corporate executives, that you better “start re-skilling”. For some reason, executives, and I’ve been one so I know what I’m talking about, seem to sense they don’t need development. Or if they do, they just don’t...
A positive workplace culture can make all the difference.

So here is a last stab at maximizing your 2018 SHRM Annual Conference & Exposition experience. Today’s post is about maximizing time at the exposition hall and after hours.
The vendor exposition hall is available Sunday thru Tuesday. My suggestion is walk the floor for fun Sunday after the main session and choose one-time Monday or Tuesday to gather up your swag and extras. Hopefully you will have some extra room in your suitcase to drag the extras home. You also do not want to be dragging swag around to...
Young HR professionals—whether they’re newly minted college graduates or a few years into their first job—don’t have a lot of experience with writing a professional resume. They often rely on trusted professional contacts in HR for tips and advice on selling themselves through their resume in order to get a foot in the door.
However, job seekers are facing challenges as technology continues to evolve. Talent acquisition teams are now looking to use technology to change the way their organizations source and select new employees. Resume-screening software is helping employers to...
