Journalism has always been one of those professions that demands experience before you even get your first job at a television station or newspaper. In my case, I began working for the school newspaper and writing articles for my hometown newspaper by the time I was 17. In college, I was required to work on the school newspaper and have internships before I graduated.

I don''t speak for HR, and neither should you. Lots has been written about how ineffective HR is, and how CEOs and CFOs have lost confidence in the profession. Really ? HR is the problem in Corporate America? Are you kidding me?! Are we responsible for the retention of employees that don''t report to us?

Social media is a powerful tool. It is changing how we communicate with each other ; it is changing how business gets done; and it is changing how repressed nations become free. In the final analysis social media is a force that can not, and should not be stopped. However, with so much freedom and access comes a great degree of responsibility. Sometimes going social is just " too social."

I only managed to catch the final session yesterday but it was a good one. We started with Bersin’s research suggesting that 70% of companies follow a coaching and development vs a competitive assessment approach to performance management.

If you’ve ever been unemployed, you know the joy that comes from finally getting that job offer. But that elation may be tempered by the fact that the job pays less than your previous one, or is certainly lower on the career status level than you desire. And ticks you off a bit. It makes you angry that your skills are being underutilized and that you’re in a job that won’t help you get ahead.

The fact is, people change. When you do a pre-employment drug test, you’ve done your due diligence in trying to keep abusers out of your workforce. Some people turn to drugs.
