Fix This Code, and You Might Get Your Dream Job
by Katie Carty Tierney on Jun 26, 2008 - 12:51 PM read 826 times
Source: http://txaggie94.wordpress.com/?p=46I try. I really do. I want to help the nGenera software engineering team so much that I’ve been trying to write Ruby on Rails code. The only problem is, I don’t have what it takes. I’m just not a good programmer. Oh, sure, I USED to be an awesome programmer, but that was before I moved into the frou-frou world of Talent Acquisition. Today, my programming skills are creaky, ... read more -
Work Meetings, Potato Chips, & eBay
by Katie Carty Tierney on Jan 29, 2008 - 09:35 AM read 2314 times
Source: http://txaggie94.wordpress.com/?p=41One of the worst parts of being a virtual employee is that I rarely get the opportunity to physically interact with my coworkers. I sit in my office at home, and use the phone, Skype, Twitter, and Instant Messenger to communicate with the other BSG Alliance folks. So, when I have the opportunity to fly to Texas and have some face time, I always jump at the chance. This week, ... read more -
Why I Love BSG Alliance
by Katie Carty Tierney on Oct 14, 2007 - 10:57 PM read 1399 times
Source: http://txaggie94.wordpress.com/2007/10/15/why-i-love-bsg-...First, I have a crazy sense of loyalty to Steve Papermaster. The man gave me my first job out of college, and kept in touch with me in the intervening years. When he was ready to start BSG Alliance, he asked me to be a part of his team, even though I’d been out of the paid workforce for 6 years. He’s engaging, funny as ... read more -

Source: http://txaggie94.wordpress.com/2007/09/29/finding-c-perfo...Okay, this is more a call for help than a real blog post. If you’ve got input, please feel free to comment…. I am in the process of looking for an expert in C++ performance tuning. The person I need must understand high-volume, real-time transaction processing systems, and must have experience in tuning those systems in the past. I’m not going to be using third parties for this search, so ... read more -
No Shows and Not Theres
by Katie Carty Tierney on Sep 26, 2007 - 09:13 PM read 2825 times
Source: http://txaggie94.wordpress.com/2007/09/27/no-shows-and-no...About two months ago, we had two people not bother to show up for interviews at our New York office. I had set up the interviews, the interviewers had made an effort to be available, and I had confirmed with the candidates two days earlier that the interviews were still scheduled. And yet, they didn’t bother to show up, nor did the bother to call and let us know that ... read more -
Resume Typos & English as a Second Language
by Katie Carty Tierney on Sep 17, 2007 - 07:50 PM read 2480 times
Source: http://txaggie94.wordpress.com/2007/09/18/resume-typos-en...When I was just getting started in the Recruiting business, a very successful recruiter told me that one of his red flags was a typographical or grammatical error in a resume. His point was that a resume is the most important document a person uses to “sell” his/her skills, and he/she should make darn sure that there are no errors. My mentor told me that a lack of attention ... read more -
Ever have one of those days?

Source: http://txaggie94.wordpress.com/2007/09/13/ever-have-one-o...Today was a good day. Today was one of those days that energizes someone like me. Today was a day full of really good candidates, a glowing reference for someone we’d really like to hire, and an overall renewal of my faith in Generation Y. The day started with an excellent conference call with the BSG Alliance Recruiting Team. Yes! We’re now officially a team! Leeanne Hallquist, a former BSGer ... read more -
Finding my voice

Source: http://txaggie94.wordpress.com/2007/08/09/finding-my-voice/I’ve been engaging in something this week that a lot of people find to be, well, let’s see… vile. Yeah. That’s a good word - a lot of people look at what I’ve been up to as vile. I don’t think it is, though. I think I’m actually providing a service. I am giving people an opportunity to do something that they might not be able to do otherwise… I’m trying ... read more -

Source: http://txaggie94.wordpress.com/2007/07/20/recruiting-road...Well, I finally have a minute between calls and emails and lions and tigers and bears! Oh my! Now, I can sit down and write a little review of the Recruiting Roadshow Unconference. Overall, let’s just say that it was not a waste of time (scared you, didn’t I, Paul?). In fact, I gathered so much good information, I think my little newbie head might just burst. The morning ... read more -
Do you like your job?
by Katie Carty Tierney on Jul 13, 2007 - 02:38 PM read 1907 times
Source: http://txaggie94.wordpress.com/2007/07/13/do-you-like-you...I think my friends are getting sick of listening to me. Well, they’ve probably always been a little tired of listening to me talk since a) I like to hear myself talk, so I can talk about nonsense for hours and b) my voice sounds like a cross between a tortured hyena and a wounded elephant. But, that aside, I think that my friends are very tired of hearing me ... read more
