Seizing the Day with Dr. Earnest Carpadiem

This morning's SHRM meeting was all about being motivated. This skill is great for everyone. In my previous post I wrote about the fact I hate pity parties. Not only do they bring you down mentally but they wear you out physically.

The speaker brought some much needed humor to this weary job seeker.

I met two great professionals today. One was from Staffing Solutions. Sarah Knudson is the Recruitment Manager. She was very helpful and listened to me explain my situation. I did not mean to monopolize her time, but I just never seem to be able to meet as many professionals in one place.

I also met the HR Manager for Horsburgh & Scott(Monica Priester). She is so young and says she sort of fell into the field of HR. I guess when you are not trying things have a way of happening. Maybe I'll stop trying then I'll get all kinds of offers.
