As I review open jobs in this tough economy, they seem to be more specialized and require narrower experience and education, making identifying and hiring qualified talent even more difficult. As part of a Talent Acquisition team, Human resource Department or Staffing Firm, we recruiters need to start doing a better job of leveraging our hiring managers’ networks and contacts as well as our own.

Even the most confident job seeker has a niggle of doubt every now and again. Even if it's only a twinge that wakes you up in the middle of the night, it's there. You're not alone. But there are ways to become more confident about yourself and what you bring to the table. Here's a story I did for Gannett/USAToday.com: If you’ve been out of work for a long time, self-doubt can begin to set in.

'In the Fall of 2009, I went to the first HREvolution in Louisville, KY not sure of what to expect. I had met only one attendee in person prior to the event. I had read many of the attendees blogs or seen them on Twitter, but my interaction was minimal. However, as an educator, I wanted to be sure that the information my students were receiving was as current and cutting edge as possible before they entered the workplace.

What I do first thing in the morning tends to set the tone for the rest of my day. Starting with my email inbox inevitably sets me up for a day of reacting to other people's agendas and unproductive "multi-tasking."

I also warned them that my version of the scorecard is substantially different, and a lot more useful, than some of the other formats they may encounter.

But for many people caught in a career quandry, the issue is not too much action, but too much reflection.

HR Compliance is like a giant game of whack-a-mole. Once you think your company is compliant with all policies and procedures documented and in place, there’s a new or amended law, regulation, or final rule that pops up landing you back at ‘start.’ There are shifts, interpretations, and balancing acts to understanding compliance changes. Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.

Here's your question for the day. Do you see your ongoing professional development as a "cost of doing business" or as an "investment in your future"? If it's a cost, then it can be cut when times get lean. Other activities will take precedence because on some level you've decided they add greater value to your life and to your growth. . If your professional development is an investment, though, you will continue to add to this "bank" on a regular basis.
