Resume Forensics: How to Find Free Resumes and Passive Candidates on Google" by Jim Stroud | https://www.createspace.com/4228076
The Positive Effects of Relationships at WorkO.C. Tanner
Friendship at work matters. Did you know that employees with a best friend at work are 5x more likely to feel a strong connection to their company, and 7x more likely to fully engage at work than employees without a best friend? Take a look at this infographic to learn more about the positive effects of relationships at work.
As designers we’re searching for the best – the best method, the best look, the best font. We have a continuous battle to create brands that are unique but that have a longstanding presence. We make tough decisions constantly, question our instincts, and settle. We fight and we strive to make long lasting beautiful, smart and informed design. How do we get there?
In this talk, seasoned Creative Director Sara Cannon is going to dive deep into the designers struggle. She’s going to share different processes that can make our work better. We’re going to discuss philosophy, methodology, and execution from the creative mind stand point. Hopefully by the end of the talk, you will be inspired to push your own creative limits and learned some tips on how to get there.
At Officevibe, we end our daily standup meetings with an inspirational quote to start the day on a positive note.
Whoever’s turn it is to speak holds a basketball, and the last one to speak has to come up with a quote of the day.
Everyone puts their finger on the ball, and when the quote is said, the ball gets thrown up in the air and we all say “think about it”, as a reminder to really let the hidden meaning of the quote sink in.
The Recruiting Life #5:Unemployed and Desperate: One Man's Quest to Make Ends...Jim Stroud
What do you think of this quote from The New York Times?
With millions of Americans unemployed, some like Ms. Benavidez and Ms. Eixenberger are turning to OnlyFans in an attempt to provide for themselves and their families. The pandemic has taken a particularly devastating toll on women and mothers, wiping out parts of the economy where women dominate: retail businesses, restaurants and health care.With millions of Americans unemployed, some like Ms. Benavidez and Ms. Eixenberger are turning to OnlyFans in an attempt to provide for themselves and their families. The pandemic has taken a particularly devastating toll on women and mothers, wiping out parts of the economy where women dominate: retail businesses, restaurants and health care.
“A lot of people are migrating to OnlyFans out of desperation,” said Angela Jones, an associate professor of sociology at the State University of New York at Farmingdale. “These are people who are worried about eating, they’re worried about keeping the lights on, they’re worried about not being evicted.”
But for every person like Ms. Benavidez, who is able to use OnlyFans as her primary source of income, there are dozens more, like Ms. Eixenberger, who hope for a windfall and end up with little more than a few hundred dollars and worries that the photos will hinder their ability to get a job in the future.
If you hired someone and later found out that they sold adult content on OnlyFans, would you fire them based on that alone? If so, or if not, why? Please leave a comment below.
The Recruiting Life Comic #4: What if AI replaced human workers and the publ...Jim Stroud
Check out this headline from The US SUN, “Artificial intelligence replaced humans in job role for months and no one noticed.” In a nutshell, AI had replaced tech journalists by producing stories that humans proofread and edited before posting them. Wow.
ChatGPT, and tech like it, is changing the game. Those who embrace it and adapt will be much better off than the luddites seeking to destroy it. My prediction is this, ChatGPT will not take your job away. A human being, who knows how to use ChatGPT, is the one who will take your job away. Your move.
And on the flip side…
I am very bullish on new technology that can help humans do their work more efficiently. I firmly believe that a marriage of humans and tech will bring out the best outcomes. However, I am a bit unnerved at times when AI operates on its own and beats out humans. For example, “A job application written by ChatGPT fooled recruiters and beat more than 80% of human candidates to an interview, report says” and “Abstracts written by ChatGPT fool scientists” are stories that speak to that concern. I’m okay with using AI as long as there is a human in the loop, but I doubt I would ever 100% trust AI void of human intervention. What do you think?
The Recruiting Life Comic #3: I have a renewed respect for the candidate expe...Jim Stroud
I think some companies forget that candidates are people too, and in their passion to put butts in seats, deny candidates some basic courtesies. For example, I had 4 interviews with a certain tech company that I was very excited about. We were at a point where we were texting one another about the future. (True love.) However, a few days before the holidays, they halted all communication. No biggie, it was the holidays. After the holidays, and to date, nothing. No returned emails. No returned texts. No phone calls. Every now and again I look on LinkedIn to see if they are still in business (sarcasm) and that the people I interviewed with are still there. Their LinkedIn profiles all say they are currently employed there. So why not just tell me "its not you, its me" and I can focus on other options. Sigh. Its college dating all over again.
That not withstanding, there is something else in the candidate experience that has really irked me. It is when applicant tracking systems ask you to upload your resume then ask you to fill out forms that request the EXACT same information that's on your resume. OMG! I hate that. I bet a lot of other jobseekers do too.
Artificial Intelligence vs Artificial StupidityJim Stroud
There's been a lot of talk about artificial intelligence. But, not much talk about artificial stupidity. Believe it or not, its a thing. It happens. And sometimes those happenings are deadly.
I talk about it in this episode of The Jim Stroud Report
(On the last slide is a link to every article and resource cited in the report. Just in case you want to read it all in context. Just sayin'... )
It will all make sense once you read it. Please reshare, like, comment and pass it on. Your encouragement keeps this content coming.
Microsoft laid off a bunch of reporters and replaced them with artificial intelligence. How is that working out for them? In one particular instance, not so well. I examine the results and give analysis.
This is the pilot for a new series I am considering producing in 2023. Let me know your thoughts? I am anxious to hear from you.

The Future of Work is Racism [Podcast Transcript] Jim Stroud
Some people think the United States is a racist country. If America is a racist country, wouldn't that make the American workplace racist as well? Possibly. The demographics of America are rapidly changing and where there are differences there is inevitable conflict. Some of the issues are a result of ignorance to the differences represented in various cultures and as a result, racism rears its ugly head to diverse degrees. I discuss the state of racism in the American workplace and why I think it will become worse in years to come. At the same time, I defend my country because I do not believe America is immutably racist. Tune in for a very thought provoking episode. Find this podcast on JimStroud.com and on your favorite podcast platform.
Can I ask you a personal question? Are you lonely? A recent study by CIGNA suggests that you are. They surveyed more than 20,000 U.S. adults -18 years and older and find out that nearly half of Americans sometimes or always feel alone, One in four Americans rarely or never feel as though there are people who really understand them, Two in five Americans sometimes or always feel that their relationships are not meaningful and one in five people report they rarely or never feel close to people. Why is this? I blame social media.
[TRANSCRIPT] Do we have a right to freedom of thought? Jim Stroud
In the future, will we have the freedom to think as we like without fear of economic or judicial reprisals? I hope so. Yet, recent technological advances give me room to pause. In this episode, I discuss scientific advances that can literally read your mind and create pictures based on your thoughts. Intrigued? If so, prepare to be amazed by the other discoveries I stumbled upon this past week. Science fiction is quickly becoming science fact. Can our laws keep up? What about our personal freedoms? This is the transcript from "The Jim Stroud Podcast" that posted on 06.09.19. Listen to this episode on www.JimStroud.com or on your favorite podcast platform. (i.e. Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts)

Speaker: Erin Patchell
Imagine a world where the needs, experiences, and well-being of people— employees and customers — are the focus of integrating technology into our businesses. As HR professionals, what tools exist to leverage AI and technology as a force for both people and profit? How do we influence a culture that takes a human-centred lens?
Accelerating AI Integration with Collaborative Learning - Kinga Petrovai - So...SocialHRCamp
Speaker: Kinga Petrovai
You have the new AI tools, but how can you help your team use them to their full potential? As technology is changing daily, it’s hard to learn and keep up with the latest developments. Help your team amplify their learning with a new collaborative learning approach called the Learning Hive.

This approach amplifies the impact of other learning resources and fosters a culture of continuous learning within the organization.
