Jacqui Poindexter, Resume Writer

By Deb Dib

Jacqui does it right! I know Jacqui well (we've done career-industry BOD work and resume training work together). I have always valued and respected her as one of those exceptional (and dedicated) resume writers/coaches who focus on the individual from a different perspective than resume writers who write typical "job graveyard/responsible for" resumes.

Venus de Micro Has A Sinus Infection

Heather always gets them when she visits the midwest.

She made it through earlier recessions by taking less than stellar jobs.
(And if I did it, kids, so can you).

Plus: She seemed like such a happy girl.

Recruiting Blogger Fears Republican Anger

Venus de Micro, the famous Micosoft Ma'am, is dying to tell you all of her exciting political opinions but doesn't dare for fear of scaring away readers.

If I remember correctly, Venus is an Oba-maniac. Didn't she blog about going to see him at an arena? Ah, wouldn't you know it; I get confirmation from a guy in India. (Gautam).

I’ve noticed that quite a few of my online friends are Obama supporters like Shel Israel, Charlene Li and Heather Hamilton. Of course, Jason Goldberg is a solid Clinton supporter ;-)

David Perry, Chutzpadik Recruiter

You can run but you can't hide when Perry's on the prowl.

David Perry - The Recruiting Animal Show
According to Sarah Needleman of The Wall Street Journal, David Perry is a rogue recruiter.

I can't see why. Just last week, I spoke to Jennifer McClure, a Cincinatti recruiter who insists that she only approaches potential candidates via members of their trusted networks. But if your network isn't all powerful and you want to find someone special, you have to do some detective work and make a direct approach.

The thing about David Perry is that he's so ballsy -- and wily, too.

The first time I met him he told me that he had once rented a coffee truck and sold donuts at an industrial park until he got the name of a target who worked inside.

Sarah says that he's also posed as a waiter at a private party and pursued potential candidates onto a bike trail and a ski run in order to catch up with them. He told me that he called someone eighty times until he took his call -- on his cell phone on the autobahn.

Happy Birthday Maren Hogan

The Red Hot Mama From Omahama makes a bold, clear, meaningful declaration for a new year.

And don't forget: Maren will be signing autographs at RecruitFest

But, tell me, when is she going to get a chance to speak at an industry conference? Really, ask yourself: How come Maren, an eager Gen Y woman who loves to speak and is so full of good ideas, has been passed over when it comes to delivering a talk, in favour of a bunch of old white men? Who's holding her back?

You know the answer. The Baby Boomers. The fat cat experts who fear Gen Y. They're doing it -- again. Just wait till my man, Barack Obama gets in, then we'll see some change -- when Michelle and Oprah start kicking some boomer butt.

        And it's burn baby burn.
When am I gonna get my turn

Fem Fetal [sic], Rayanne Trumbo

Rayanne Trumbo Fem Fetal - Recruiting Animal Show
"Come into my interview, dahling".

Bull Doza says:
I finally met Rayanne in person, and the word ‘groovy’ came to mind.... Rayanne was leading the flow of conversation.... Rayanne became a fixture among the RBC faithful present.

She barely breaks a sweat with all the lime light aura she pervades.... Rayanne can be observed as one of the growing fem fetales of smart, industrious female staffing professionals....

The RBC girls – social butterflies with their fluttering quips of bright insight have broadened the circling wagons to become ‘community’ in the most real sense of the word.

Rayanne consistently shows us - “Groove is In The Heart”!
[Is that like circumcize your heart?]

Gautam Ghosh it's time to grow up

What's up with Gautam Ghosh?. The Roti King is a giant in HR and recruiter blogging. He's the Chairman of the Board for Asia as far as I'm concerned.

And, yet, when he gets mentioned in the paper, he notes it under the headline "In The Company of Giants" as if he needs the presence of Om Malik, Rafat Ali and Amit Agarwal to make him seem like something. Come on, Gautam, shape up. How about this one? "Giants in the company of me".
