A Q&A With Cancer and Careers #SHRM18
When SHRM shared the speaker and vendor list that would be attending #SHRM18, I was so excited! I couldn’t believe how many awesome people there were to reach out to and connect with.

Culture Fit and Rocking the Boat
Firstly, I think HR is the reason why hiring managers care about culture fit when interviewing to bring someone new onto their team. Culture fit is a buzz word I’ve heard coming from the HR department for as long as I can remember, and at almost everywhere I’ve worked.

Hiring Manager and Recruiter Relationship: Communication Is Key!
