Blog Swap Begins

A couple of weeks ago I mentioned in a post that Zoe and Gretchen from JobSyntax and Jason from Recruting.com had an idea for a blog swap. The idea took off and there are 30+ bloggers who will be guest writing an entry on another’s blog over the next eight weeks. You can see the participants by clicking the Blog Swap.

    

I know, for as much as one can after reading their material for many months, most on the list. I have met some new friends and their blogs. While everyone in the swap is very talented I am very happy with my “draw” of guests.

   

My guest for this week is Dennis Smith and he is a Sr. Manager, Talent Acquisition for

T-Mobile USA. Here is a link to his blog, www.careerbuilderblog.com. I will be posting his entry Wednesday afternoon.
   

He always has great information and I feel a little challenged to step up my game or to at least link to him more often.

   

I am having a tough time with my entry on Recruiting Animal. The Canadian Headhunter, or CH, is a funny dude with some sarcasm and is not afraid to call people out. I am not nearly so bold and I do not want to disappoint him.

    

Not sure what to comment on yet. So far the only things that come to mind are hockey, miles of open border, it’s colder there than here, and Canada Day (the former Dominion Day) is also my birthday. See? Nothing overly exciting so far.

   

Maybe I should have a couple of Molson’s first…

Frank Mulligan, Talent in China (see http://www.talent-software.com/private/online_hiring_china/060619 ), will be my guest author this week. I'm so looking forward to posting his content as well as reading it.

Reviewing the sites of the different people and learning more about some of the new names through their profiles has been an eye-opening experience. So many of us talk about the same topics yet from different vantage points. It's exciting as well as challenging.

And writing for David Perry's Guerrilla Job Hunting was such a shot in the arm! I LOVE his voice. He and I say many of the same things and focus on similar issues. It's good to say something in different ways. Different people hear in different ways.

So the first was just a ho-hum day? Poor dear. Just think of how boring it will be on Hemingway's birthday!

I'm loving this blog swap!
