My HRevolution Adventure!

I remember like it was yesterday…

I remember it like it was yesterday.  It was July 29, 1981.  I slept downstairs on the pull out couch in the family room with my Mom.  At that time, it was the only room in the house with a television set.  We woke up a 5am that morning to watch the Royal Wedding.  I [...]

How to Land a Job After Graduation- Part I

When Did the Phone Go Out of Style?

This weekend on Twitter I noticed an article that was featured by the NY Times entitled “Don’t Call Me, I Won’t Call You”. The main theme of the article is how no one uses the phone anymore. We rely on other means of communication such as email or texting or updates on Facebook or tweets. [...]

Adding Value to Your Tweets
