Hi guys and girls , I've been reading some articles on e-recruitment. As you all know I am (again) looking for a new job. Recently I had a very interesting call with a recruiter from a big international logistics company. They are hiring a recruitment manager. During the interview we had a conversation on e-recruitment and how to attract and hire talented candidates for various functions. I mentioned to the very enthusiastic lady on the phone that there are some important prerequisites that can help your company to attract the most talented candidates.  We talked about the employer/CEO branding and the importance of being an attractive company where people would like to work and be part of the family.   'What makes a company attractive', 'what makes you stand out of the crowd' are the questions a company needs to ask itself on a daily basis. Is it the product or service, the work environment, the vision and mission strategy? Tell and communicate th

Dear readers, A lot of articles I read nowadays are focussing on how to find a job when you're over 45. But what about the millennials or echo boomers (named after their parents, the babyboomers)?  These youngsters (born between the eighties and the early 2000s) are digitally native general enjoy living and working in the cities. According to wikipedia  some employers are concerned that Millennials have too great expectations from the workplace. Some studies predict they will switch jobs frequently, holding many more jobs than Gen Xers due to their great expectations. Newer research shows that Millennials change jobs for the same reasons as other generations—namely, more money and a more innovative work environment. They look for versatility and flexibility in the workplace, and strive for a strong  work–life balance  in their jobs and have similar career aspirations to other generations, valuing financial security and a diverse workplace just as much as their ol

While reading some articles on finding a new job I came across some interesting findings. As you all know I've recently started job-hunting again. Important detail:I am over 45, so this makes the job-hunting extra challenging. I've already contacted some key figures in my network and I must say the ball is rolling (as we say in dutch). But what about flexible jobs? Meaning jobs that can be executed as from your home office? In contrast to our image of telework jobs, many high powered and lucrative positions are flexible.

For example, one of the best parts about telecommuting is that job-seekers can broaden the geographic area of their job search. This means that

Dear friends, Today is the first day with lot's of sunshine, I am enjoying a few days of work. A lot going on at the moment.  My boss is leaving the company. I've got mixed feelings about his departure; on the one hand I am happy for him. On the other hand pitty for our team. Our boss was generous, kind, gentle and our biggest supporter. He was the boss who always took the blame and covered our backs on several occassions. He literally was a soft cushion between the management and our team . The management estimated him as too soft towards his team. Not capable to enforce the necessary actions that could lead to more results and more success.  What did we miss in our boss or did we miss out on something? Reading the book of Richard Koch 'the successful boss's first 100 days', I again realise how challenging this job can be. How important it is to invest in your team, company and clients. And how crucial it is to prepare and take the necessary actions in t

'The best time of your life is the period between 2 jobs.' I will never forget this statement coming from my legal counselor. Incredible, but true! So now that I am considering all my options, this is the perfect moment to enjoy life. The very hot after summer weather makes it even easier to enjoy and evaluate my options. Hereby my new focus for the coming weeks and months: Cultivate a Rich Non-Work Life Find something outside of work that you are passionate about that’s challenging, engaging and really gets you going—whether a hobby, sports or fitness activities or volunteering in the community (along with other items we mention here, like relaxation, being able to “turn off” and participating in rewarding non-work activities). Unplug While communication technology can promote productivity, it can also allow work stressors seep into family time, vacation and social activities. Set boundaries by turning off cell phones at dinner and delegating certain times t
