SEEKING STABILITY?

Hello to my faithful Blog Readers! I haven't written in a while because I've been "Really Busy"! The reorganization of the Volvo Group is progressing as planned and slowly but surely we are starting to ramp up on our hiring.   By maintaining a strengthened focus on our core business we have excelled this 2nd Quarter.


I talk with many applicants in a given week and I'm finding there is a commonality discussed in the interview, the phrase is "I'M SEEKING STABILITY" "I WANT TO WORK FOR A STABLE ORGANIZATION".  
As I interview and talk with candidates, I'm hearing all kinds of stories of no merits, burn out, no promotions; too companies moving to less desirable weather climates, office consolidations and the list goes on.  One thing I have found to be true as well as others is, the Volvo Group tenure is long, passion is strong and stability is common song amongst those that work here.

We are extremely proud of our 2nd Quarter Earnings.  This is a sign of STABILITY AND GROWTH.  Take a look at our 2nd Quarter Earnings and tell me if you like what you see.

Also we are ON THE MOVE in terms of innovation.  We are in a time where having "SMART" objects is a necessity.  The Volvo Group has created something called Volvo’s Human in the Loop (HITL) simulators connect a real-life operator to a simulated machine, filling the gap between maths and actual prototypes.

THINGS THAT INTEREST ME!

Welcome to my blog! Over the years I have written about what it takes to get in the door to corporate america, Cisco's technology and search for hottest skills. Today I decided to write about things that interest me. Technology, all things creative (art, music, poetry, dance) and Education is really my areas of interest!

Please check out the links to see how technology, art and education have continued to come together to create the way we do business today.

Even as Recruiters we have to find new and innovative ways to find qualified talent, screen candidates and eliminate those who don't meet the basic qualifications.

With a river of candidates flowing, an additional 10-15 hours to the recruiters work week, both sides are seeking ways to minimize effort, save time and money.

That's why I love innovation and technology. Enjoy the videos, information and stay tuned for things that interest me.

Whether people want to explore virtual worlds or not they are becoming apart of the learning and development of high school students. This is a generation that will shape and change our world in the next 4-6 years.

Here in Greensboro, North Carolina there are programs being developed to introduce education virtually, by developing a virtual high school/ On "RezEd", the source for all things Virtual, they posted a story on "Avatars Enhance the Language Learning Experience" written by Laura Jacob of McGuffey High School; and the list goes on and on.

There are companies and organizations such as Cisco, IBM, Library Aliance and others that have found this form of media to be beneficial to their business, growth and development locally, nationally and internationally.

I've taken a personal interest in developing a forum and space for folks that enjoy all things creative. This includes Art, Music and Poetry.

If you are interested in learning more about virtual worlds and transforming your static network into a realtime social network, locally, nationally and internationally let's connect.
