I don't know about you, but I got nearly every job I have because someone helped me. Whether it was a family member, a teacher or a former boss, I had the backing of people who not only believed in me, but helped teach and guide me in finding jobs. But what happens when you have.no one? Are doors slammed in your face? Do you have a chance of getting a job that will help support your family?

My project social partner Dave Ryan and I were chatting last Monday and he mentioned he''d been to a college recruiting event and felt re-charged by all that young energy. So we decided to write a little post about hiring recent graduates. Don''t miss Dave''s post over at HR Official. Here''s mine: These days there''s a lot of advice out there about how to interview applicants to make sure you find the right person - or, as the Kris Dunn unforgettably put it, '' separate the stars from the turds.'' It’s all good advice but one of the best interviews I ever had flaunted current wisdom.

Last Christmas, I bought my wife the Season One DVD set of "The Good Wife." Somehow, we missed adding the critically acclaimed show to our DVR during its initial run. During down time in the regular TV season, we try to catch up on an episode on DVD here and there. We''ve only made it through episode 8, but, for whatever reason, it has yet to connect with Mrs. True Faith HR.

For example, I don’t accept John Kotter’s argument that 15 years after his book, Leading Change , that all we need to do is to implement his 8 stage model that much better. To me, the fact that over 50% of changes still fail is a sign that something else is missing. Could the remaining need be influencing employees to make a Switch in their behaviour?

Hey, all you HR pros! posted a couple of questions on Focus.com that I''d love your feedback on: How do you evaluate your managers? The importance of good management to employee engagement is now recognized but how do companies monitor how their managers are doing? For example, 360 degree reviews might be a tool you use, or employee surveys. Or perhaps workforce metrics, such as turnover or team performance. How do you ensure good management at your company? How do you manage contingent workers? How involved is HR with contingent workers at your company? Check it out!

Visualize Three Leaders Which one doesn''t belong in your organization anymore? #1 - New Leader. This individual is motivated, enthusiastic, and wonderfully naive. They still believe they can change the world (and they just might). Their lack of experience creates problems from time-to-time as they move past the mindset of being a "manager" and begin to embrace the complexities of being a "leader."

I am at a Uranium mine in Northern Saskatchewan today. Yesterday I had a wonderful tour of the mine. We were underground in a place with the richest uranium deposits in the world. It was amazing to see the tools, engineering, and people that were involved in safely bringing uranium to the surface. It made me wonder: What employee engagement  riches are deep within your organization?

Social learning is certainly a hot topic these days, with organizations rushing to incorporate these tools into their learning environments. But how much are companies willing to spend on informal learning? As of today – not much. Our recent study showed that 30 percent of US companies spent money on informal learning tools or services in 2010. The figure was highest among large businesses, 42% of which spent money on informal learning during the year. Among industries, a greater number of technology companies and business services/consulting firms spent money on these tools.

I go to a lot of meetings. Many weeks I attend more than thirty of them. Thirty meetings in one week. They''re all important; some are even mission critical (remember that term?). But what actually gets done in those endless hours behind closed doors? Sometimes I''m not sure. Yes, face-to-face communication is simply the best way to share information, but is it always necessary? I don''t think so, and I now recognize that I need to take action instead of continuing to talk about it. hope they''re as open to using technology as I am. Why Such A Big Deal? What worked?
