Recruitment Advertising gets more talent
It seems the regular way to do business is changing just as fast as the business. I am referring to online recruiting to get online jobs and even conventional jobs you need to commute to. The ads are easy to spot, they show happy people in uniforms and suits joyfully spending all their time doing something for someone else to gain enough cash to afford what they cannot afford. Oops. I mean, happy people = good recruiting. Recruiting is now more targeted and gaining more qualified candidates. Recruitment advertising is helping employers find better talent than simply putting out an ad. Have you seen people who don’t know anything about the job duties get the job and more pay than you? It happens because they are either good at telling people what they want to hear or the company was desperate to get another body next to yours to generate income. Its a great thing to be headhunted by professionals who can spot your talent and hook you up with a great employer, but most of the time you need to advertise yourself first. Advertising agencies who target recruiting are becoming more skilled at acquiring talent and keeping it.
Real Estate
For several years now I have been involved in SEO, but recently I have been thinking about moving into the real estate market. Last week I traveled to Colorado for a conference and I was surprised at how cheap the Boulder real estate market had become. I’ve managed to save quite a bit of money over the years, so much so, that I could probably afford a property outright in Boulder. By purchasing a property it would allow me to have a steady income without really doing much.
All of this is just a pipe dream at the moment and I need to take some more time to research the property market a little more. I don’t want to buy a property and a few years down the track it has depreciated in value. I did however enjoy my time in Boulder, it really is a lovely place. Very peaceful, with lots of nature and things to see and do. I plan on heading up there again over the coming months and will make a decision in due time.
