Allegro,

You bring up valid points except for one.

It's easier than you think to find out what the marketplace is for jobs. The easiest resource is other people doing the same job, or hiring managers you may have bumped into. Don't do it at your current company. Your co-employees aren't going to tell you that.

Talk to…

As a recruiter, I am well aware of the salary range before I ever start a search. Let's say the candidate is earning $75,000.00 The salary range for the job tops out at $125,000.00. (I deal in a field where everyone is professionals.)

Despite the fact that the person is currently earning $75,000.00, candidates will…

Are your salary expectations realistic?

I'm a recruiter. Can't tell you the number of people who go into a job search mode and think that they're going to get a 25% bump in salary.

Unless you have significantly increased your job skills, that isn't going to happen.

Not a preservative.

Water. Responsible for thousands of deaths every year from people drowning.

Actually, trying using Sherry vinegar. Balsamic vinegars are all over the map when it comes to taste.

I suffer from bipolar disease. BOY do I know about this.

I find the concentration is the hardest thing for me to deal with. It's easy to get distracted because I feel so bad. Concentration seems to be non-existent.

I try to break what I am doing into steps that are small as possible.

Beyond that, I try to reward myself…

Okay, does this work for you?

You've hit two recruiters who were unprofessional.

I spent 30 years selling in my field before I became a recruiter. During my sales career I had gotten enough phone calls from recent college graduates who had become "recruiters" who needed to spend a LOT of time LEARNING about the field…

Oops forgot one other thing. Unless you've got 2-3 years job experience, or your applying for a job in education, your education experience goes at the END of your resume, not the beginning.

In advertising there's a term known as white space. The term should be pretty self-explanatory. Without going overboard, you want to keep the white space to a minimum.

I've seen people put a date down for when they were at a job and then indent everything about the job. They end up using about HALF the space on the…

I'm a recruiter. You've hit two idiots.

I might call someone where their salary is higher than the company has told me their salary will go, but there will always be a reason for it. Perhaps the candidate has been out of work for six months. I know that the market is higher than what the company wants to pay and I…

Had one a long time ago. The problem with anything like this is the extrusion heads.

For whatever stupid reason companies seem to make the part that holds the head plastic and then the extrusion shape part metal, or vice versa. Make your recipe wrong, as in too thick, and you'll blow out the plastic part every time.

I'm a cooking geek. I've made my own pasta for quite a while, but I still went to the site.

Probably one of the best sites I've seen in quite a while.

Thanks.

I am also a recruiter.

This is THE most inane thing that I've heard in a while.

If someone wants/needs a job bad enough the commute is irrelevant.

I live in a Chicago suburb. There are thousands of people who will commute 100+ miles/day.

Sign up for it.

I've looked at some of the places they currently serve and the coverage maps.

Based on those maps, it would seem that they should offer coverage to at least the six county Chicago area and Lake County Indiana as a minimum.

I've tried a couple of these. Admittedly, I live 35 miles from Chicago, in an area with a lot of trees, and at a grade maybe 10 feet lower than the road.

My caution is if you're going to buy one of these antennae that you make sure you can return if it doesn't work.

It appears that streaming Aereo, when it finally gets…

BINGO. That's the set!

I'm older and love to cook. When we were first married, we "invested" in some very high end "non-stick" pans. Worse "investment" we ever made. Still were able to use them, but they were never "non-stick".

A year and a half ago, perhaps longer, America's Test Kitchen made T-fal non-stick pans their highest rated…

Sorry, but considering the winter in this area I'm more inclined to buy this type of robot cleaning machine.

My funniest. Over two years ago my wife and I had to move my, then, 84 year old aunt in with us. She had never had high speed internet so she was enthralled by what she could do with things. Unfortunately, you can't manage someone 24/7.

She was going anywhere and everywhere and despite the protections built into the…

I'm surprised. My way they know who you are, so they can remove you. How do they know how to remove you?
