Reality check: Recruiters are not your personal job finders.

This viewpoint may burst some bubbles for most job seekers. It’s a hard reality and needs to be understood by job seekers who have the wrong idea about what recruiters and headhunters do for a living.

They can take the resume and push it to everyone they know…right? Dead wrong.

Unlimited Paid Time Off – Too Good To Be True?

Pamela Moore

What if your employer told you that you now have unlimited paid time off. Meaning, if you need to take time, that’s fine and we’ll pay for it.
