Advice For Rookies, From A Rookie
Published by Amybeth (@researchgoddess) at 11:11 pm under Research,Talent
First of all, heartfelt congratulations to my buddy Joel for winning the Recruiting.com 2006 Best Blog Awards. Now I won’t feel bad picking a really expensive place to have my victory dinner when the Gators show the Buckeyes who’s boss 
I guess I wouldn’t feel bad either way, but good for you, Joel. You certainly deserved this honor! It was your blog after all that inspired me to jump on the bandwagon.
I feel very honored to have had 22 people who thought my blog was worthy of being included in the top blogs, especially since I just started mine in October! So, what can a rookie like myself do to improve his or her blog over the next 12 months and be one of the top 10?
Why, subscribe to this year’s Top 10 of course! What better way to improve yourself than to learn from the best. I personally will be reaching out to each of these folks – I’m sure most of them would be more than happy to talk for a couple of minutes and share some success tips!
I’ve taken the liberty of putting RSS links to the top 10 recruiting blogs here:

Your Hr Guy
I won’t be able to leave Starbucks for the rest of the week. Your words (by their inclusiveness) have caused my head to swell to such proportions that I’m now the amazing 20′-circumference headed woman.
At least there’s a bathroom, food and drink. Just think if this happened at, say, Kinko’s! All I’d be able to do is duplicate myself.
But when it comes to job seeking and recruiting, that may be a great thing. Just think of how many wonderful candidates and recruiting colleagues would be out there making the world a better place!
But then again, when you’ve come to something so completely unique and wonderful, it simply can NEVER be duplicated. We’ll have to live with each person being unique unto their selves.
