I follow the jobless claims from week to week pretty closely. It's not near as much fun as say, watching to see if Lady Gaga will show up covered in raw eggs and bran cereal, but it's something I feel I need to do for my job. People depend on me to give them job hunting advice that will help them get out of the unemployment ranks. Today, the news wasn't so great.

'RESOLVED: The HRCI Certification process for chapters is broken. Prologue The primary reasons HR professionals attend chapter meetings are networking and earning recertification credits toward their PHR or SPHR. People do enjoy talking with another and seeing what is going on in the HR world in their little neck of the woods.

Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.

Employee Engagement: “You don’t get me I am part of the union.&#. Engagement for all. The subtitle of this post has a line from the chorus of the song, Part of the Union. I have always maintained that employee engagement must be for the benefit of everyone — it is so much more than sucking out more discretionary effort from workers who already feel taxed to the max.

I'm back from a two-day conference and I think I've discovered one of the reasons conferences are becoming a big waste for me--the homophily problem , otherwise known as "birds of a feather, flock together." Most professional conferences are made up of people who are in a particular occupation or industry, which means people who tend to look at the world through the same lens.
