So any thoughts from my recruiting peers on posting your photo on Monster, good idea or not, thoughts?
looking at the new UI on Monster. A lot of redundant features from a candidate perspective. Now they have a section to upload your photo. ?

New Blog

Well, for some reason my old blog is no longer working not allowed to access. (http://eliterecruiting.blogspot.com/), so I am not going to use this here. I am going to incorporate some of the social media tools to cross post. I also have my cycling blog, so will try to limit this one to recruiting activities only. Ok, time to get the layout set.
