In September 2010, Jessica Miller-Merrell called me and asked if I wanted to share a room at SXSW the following Spring.  I said, “Sure!” I have never looked back.

“Start with the easy and work your way up.” That was the simple yet brilliant advice I received a couple years ago from a guy. How is it that we so often forget that we can take the easy road, at least for a little while?  Work life has a tendency to be stressful, especially [...]

Why SXSW? Innovation. Evolution. A Better Way.

by Ray_anne

Innovation. Evolution.  A Better Way. And at SXSW 2012. It wasn’t too long ago that I sat in a meeting with two entrepreneurial men who understood the strength and necessity of social media.

The mobile world is upon us.  Technology is king.  And yet your organization’s recruiting and HR teams are often the last one’s that are thought of as innovators in the mobile communication, recruiting, and SEO spaces.  What if I told you that you were wrong?  That your human resources, recruiting, and talent departments are doing [...]

Announcing the “Unofficial” SXSW Tweetup

by Jessica Miller-Merrell

By nature it seems that the HR and Recruiting community is very social.  We like to have a good time and sometimes we like to take those online connections offline at events, unconferences, or tweetups (twitter meetups).  It’s nice to have a beer with a social media someone who in many ways you know better [...]
