I love my job

Now it is the Boston Boston Globe telling us that employees and job-seekers can get in trouble for writing on their blogs, in MySpace, etc., etc., ad nauseum that they don't like working.

I don't get it.

If we all know that employers and recruiters will sniff out our postings for evidence of slacking, why don't people just lie?

I hope my boss isn't reading this, but I just wanted to say, for the record, that I love my job, love my boss and often go over and beyond when I am not on the clock, just hoping to bring some added value to my company.

See, that's not so hard, is it. And it sounds sincere.

Give Me a Sign

As we travel our career paths, wondering where to go next, we get signs. They can be in places ordinary or unexpected. They can come from above or from the road commission. We use those signs in Ask the Recruiter.

If you see a sign that speaks to you about your career, e-mail a photo of it to joe.grimm@gmail.com. Who knows? The sign you see may serve another.
