Lots of mixed signals and noise out there! IBM's new CEO last month delivered a gloomy outlook for tech spending and suggested the company will have to "pare back" its operations to adjust to the sluggishness. [Wall Street Journal] 3:32:22 PM     Comments[]

Scott is right on target There is an arrogance that seems to permeate some HR departments. They see themselves as protectors of their co-workers' time or as enforcers of government or corporate policy. Seldom do these types of HR depts. come across as seriously interested in making a great hire for their company or providing a service to those on the outside looking in. And You Wonder Why People that are Out of Work Get Frustrated - Here's an email that just came to me a few moments ago.  This is from a job I applied for 2 months ago!  Can anyone out there that works in human resources tell me what's going on?  Why does it take 2 months to tell a job candidate that it might be another 30 days?  I don't get it.  HR?  Hello?  Anyone got a clue? And here's why this matters: I'll never, ever think favorably of CenterSpan as a vendor.  If this is how they treat people who want to work for them, how will they treat customers?
