This is the highest spread since 1969. Read This Before Recruiting a Young WorkforceManagement is at a crossroads. An overabundance of resumes, creating what I've called the "resu-mess," is prompting employers to change the way they recruit, receive and review applications and interview candidates.

It is fair to say that reviewing and processing these resumes is like having eight lanes of traffic exiting onto a two-lane side-street. This translates into a resu-mess bottlenock at the hiring tollgate. ATE2D (attitude) Virus causes increase in presenteeismThe Attitude Virus seems to be everywhere. We know that there are lots of layoffs, morale is down, and productivity is suffering. We see the symptoms every day as rudeness, poor service, lack of motivation, and increased job stress. Managers feel the pain of the long-term effects of the Attitude Virus with employee turnover, lost productivity, customer complaints, increased worker and consumer liability, and a drain on profits. Three Hiring Mistakes Managers MakeThere are Plenty of Good People Looking for Work. What Turns These Good Workers Into Great Employees? Motivation. Parents Beware: Gaming May be Beneficial to Your Child's Career!As more and more adults worry that children are wasting time online, texting, or playing video games, social network and video sharing sites, online games, and gadgets such as iPods and mobile phones are becoming more mainstream fixtures of youth culture. New research just released by the MacArthur foundation might serve as a wake-up call...or at least force adults to pause before they pull the plug on their kids.
