I've worked with people who have a chronic illness, and I even have one myself -- migraine headaches. The thing about chronic illness is that you never know when you're going to have a bad day. If that were the case, it would be much easier to plan around. You could say to yourself: "Oops.looks like Oct. 21 a migraine is going to hit like a sledgehammer. Here's the story I did.

I’m back in South East Asia this week. I’ve already delivered a workshop on HR and social media in Kuala Lumpur on Monday and Tuesday (see klhr20.blogspot.com ). And today and tomorrow I’m blogging from Singapore’s Human Capital Summit. As you can see, it’s a big event (and very red!). missed the first couple of sessions, which was a shame, but I had a few other people to meet.

Dear Evil HR Lady, What would your advice be to someone who has an associate’s degree, but has risen through the ranks to executive positions and then laid off due to the economy? He has a problem in applying for positions because the ones he is otherwise qualified for require a bachelor’s degree. His plan was to complete an online bachelor’s through a for-profit university that advertises heavily in this area. Would that degree be considered a plus, minus or neutral by HR?

Dear Evil HR Lady, I am 60 years old. recently applied for a job and there were numerous places on the application as well as several other pieces of paperwork that I had to fill out where I had to list my DOB or just tell someone involved in the process what my age was (the drug test lady just said plainly “how old are you?”). Older workers always hear that a prospective employer cannot inquire as to your age. When it happens, the candidate dares not refuse to answer certain questions or the process is over. Questions like “when did you graduate from high school” dates you immediately.

No Respect, Until LOTS of Respect Sure, we''re not in the spotlight of our organizations. We''re not supposed to be. We don''t chase the glory because we demonstrate the ultimate commitment to the companies we work for -> we put all of our efforts into supporting the execution of corporate strategy and supporting and growing our workforce.

Lists are big in my business. Want to get someone to read your story? List 10 ways they can lose weight by consuming only pancakes, lima beans and Fresca for two weeks. Those are fun to read, aren't they? We don't always take them seriously, but they help sell magazines or newspapers or get people to click on a website. But there are some kinds of lists I don't like. Or the "so-so"? you may say.

With crushing unemployment and zero leadership in Washington D.C. to take meaningful action, we in the Recruitment world are letting job seekers know more than ever that they can not join our organizations. It’s not that they aren’t good people; or that they wouldn’t be productive. We either do not have enough vacancies to meet the need, or the applicants do not have what we need in terms of training and experience. But does that mean we should disengage from these folks and never see them again? That my friends is the new definition of lunacy in the Recruitment space. love it. What worked?
