Your Choice: Telecommunication or Horse and Buggy
by Caleb Love on Jul 23, 2008 - 04:07 PM read 19 times
Source: http://www.wikinomics.com/blog/?p=1772Trips to the gas station have turned into quite painful experiences lately. I used to hate riding bikes and walking places but now it is becoming a necessity. The horse and buggy is becoming more appealing every day. It isn't just your car you have to worry about. Airline ticket prices are on the rise. You almost have to create a budget just so you can have the money to ... read more -

Beautiful Time-Waster
by Katie Carty Tierney on Jun 30, 2008 - 02:02 PM read 881 times
Source: http://txaggie94.wordpress.com/?p=50Hat tip to MN Headhunter for this one… Wordle is a cute little tool for creating “word clouds” from your writing. I hopped on the site, told it to map my blog, and got this funky little picture: Apparently, I talk a lot about Enterprise and 2.0. I like the tool, though, because it can really show you where a person’s interests are. My friend read more -
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 -

Couple sues Google for a sum greater than $25,000. Guess what? This aint your ... read more -
Do We NEED an Enterprise 2.0 Market?
by Katie Carty Tierney on Jan 07, 2008 - 10:13 AM read 1700 times
Source: http://txaggie94.wordpress.com/2008/01/07/do-we-need-an-e...Thanks to Twitter, I ran across a post by Jevon MacDonald about an Enterprise 2.0 market. More specifically, the post was Jevon arguing that there is no Enterprise 2.0 market. His valid points include: There are very few companies with Enterprise 2.0 budget line items. Enterprise 2.0 is too loosely defined at this point to make it valuable as a solution (or set of solutions) for organization problems. There ... read more -

Source: http://txaggie94.wordpress.com/2007/12/28/im-twitdicted/I’ve been using twitter for many months now. Not only has it been a great tool to help me keep track of my co-workers, but it’s also been an interesting and useful tool in my recruiting activities. I can track certain keywords (”recruiter,” “.NET,” “Java,” etc.), and follow up on people who I think might make interesting candidates. I can also keep up-to-date on breaking news and fun facts by ... read more -

I actually got an account on Facebook a couple of years ago, using my Texas A&M University alumnus email address, in order to check up on potential new members for my sorority (yes, yes, I was a sorority girl... we’ve been through this…). Since then, I have found Facebook to be a useful business tool, allowing me to keep in ... 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.

Source: http://txaggie94.wordpress.com/2007/09/04/overwhelmed-by-...Here’s my dream… One, central social network. With ways to easily separate friends and business acquaintances. And ways to keep email addresses up-to-date. And link to pictures and videos. And meet new people. Early last month, Tom Steinthal blogged about the Web 2.0 bubble. His very last line is the one that I found most interesting: Bottom line, I dont see a bubble here at all, with the possible ... read more -

Source: http://txaggie94.wordpress.com/2007/07/31/offshoring-the-...A friend of mine is looking to make a career change. She posted her resume to Monster, and was very specific about several things: She wants to stay in her hometown of Denver, but she would consider opportunities in Austin, TX. She is not, under any circumstances, looking for contract work. She likes long walks on the beach and candlelit dinners. Oh, wait, that’s her eHarmony profile, not her Monster ... read more -

Source: http://txaggie94.wordpress.com/2007/07/23/cool-java-jobs/Are you a heads-down Java programmer? Someone who comes in every day, grabs those specs, codes, tests, and heads home? Someone who gets the job done each and every day? Someone who has a neat cube, with no messy pictures or trinkets to clutter it up? You are? Well, then… I don’t particularly want to talk to you. Instead, I want to talk with the Java programmer who is excited ... 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 -
Cyber Sleuths

Source: http://txaggie94.wordpress.com/2007/07/03/cyber-sleuths/I’ve been working to find unique ways to find candidates. One of the ways I am trying out is nothing more than being very, very nosy on the web. My husband thinks I’m well-suited to this task - apparently, he thinks I am very nosy. I have no idea why. But, I digress…. As I am sure you well know, there is a plethora of information available on the web, and ... read more -

Source: http://txaggie94.wordpress.com/2007/06/28/talentspring/…or TalentSprung? I can’t decide what I think of the newest (and some say hottest) tool for crowdsourcing recruiting. TalentSpring was launched last month as a way to provide job seekers with a way to distinguish themselves from the crowd, and as a way to allow companies to have access to qualified candidates quickly and efficiently. TalentSpring uses a peer ranking system: in order for you to have your ... read more -
Recruiting in the 21st Century
by Katie Carty Tierney on Jun 26, 2007 - 05:17 PM read 460 times
Source: http://txaggie94.wordpress.com/2007/06/26/recruiting-in-t...So much has changed since I was last in the workforce. It will be 7 years this September that I last had a paying gig (until, of course, this one). When I left the workforce back in 2000, people still used email as their main form of communication. And Lotus Notes was as “collaborative” as it got. We sent Excel spreadsheets back and forth, trying desperately to ensure that no ... read more
