Okay. I'm a recruiter. Food ingredient industry.

Let's say that I'm looking for a certified flavorist. First of all since most of you wouldn't know, there's a huge difference between a flavorist and a certified flavorist. So when I do a LinkedIn search the first thing that I'm going to look for is certified. So that…

I'm a recruiter who had a career in sales, including being a hiring manager.

This is probably the #1 error that I see people make. You were responsible for chairing . . . Well so were 1,000s of other people. What made you BETTER than the 1,000s of other people who did the same job? Employers are looking for those…

Okay, a caveat. I've been a recruiter for 8 years. I also spent nearly 30 years selling products in my industry of expertise. I only work on jobs in that industry.

Glassdoor - For me, I will refer candidates to Glassdoor, but I've found that it has become like YELP, when it comes to bogus reviews. You'll especially…

So guess what type of books I read the most?

Didn't know him before your question. The bio that I found on him says that his background (degree) is in electrical engineering and computer science. In 2012 he founded a communications company. In 2013 he started Soylent.

From what I can see, he's no more qualified to be talking about foods that contain 100% of need…

"Natural" and "Organic" are two odd balls. Part of it is because they're still evolving. In some cases, it's also because science is always ahead of the laws.

I was Dir. of Sales & Marketing for the first fish oil to get FDA approval for use in food.

We had Kosher approval and obviously natural. We then tried to get…

Since my other post was rather long, I didn't want to have two different points in the same post.

DSHEA - This is the law that covers supplements, etc.

There is a HUGE difference that most people don't know when it comes to labeling.

If the item is a food, the regulations are pretty strict when it comes to labeling.…

Okay, I'm going to take your sister site to task for doing the exact same thing that you say is wrong.

Melissa wrote an article, 5/1/14, on non-dairy creamers.

Since I work in the food ingredient industry, I was interested in the article. First thing I did was to investigate Melissa's credentials. What I found out was…

So nearly all of these offers have prepaid envelopes enclosed. I've found the easiest way is to write on their offer, "Remove me from your list!" and send it back to them via the prepaid envelope. Since they have to pay extra, and more, to get the prepaid envelope back it usually only takes twice before you get…

My favorite of all times.

The company I worked for was going through a huge change and one that wasn't for the better. I was well aware of the fact that all of the sales people who worked for me were looking for jobs.

One morning I opened by emails and found the one salesperson's resume. Her company laptop had gotten a…

Google americas test kitchen how to cut noodles. They have instructions on how to cut pasta (noodles) by hand.

I've only been a recruiter for about 8 years. Prior to that, I was in sales for 25+. I used to get lots of calls from recruiters. My suggestion. Recruiters are like employers. There are good ones and bad ones. The best you can do is to talk around and check on their reputations. Some are simply paper pushers only…

Buy, but don't keep going back and taking equity out of your house. That's what caused a LOT of people to go belly up during the economic downturn.

We own our house free and clear. Sure we've got maintenance, taxes, etc., but if you were renting, those costs would be built into the cost of your rent or your landlord…

I'm a recruiter.

A couple of remarks.

If you are working through a recruiter (you don't have to), the recruiter should KNOW what the salary range they are working with from the employer. If they don't, they're not doing their job. There are some exceptions, such as when the employer doesn't know what the market is for…

Not trying to give you a hard time.

If you look at the pictures, the "planks" have edges on all four sides. She had to have put the paper on something to get those four edges. Even if she had cut the paper into "planks", if she put them on a concrete floor, there's no reason that she'd get that edge.

Look at the…

With Apple I have had exemplary customer service on everything we've ever bought from them. Even on two items that were out of warranty. Others might have problems, but I can't sing their praises enough. They've saved me close to $800.00.

On the other side, I've recently had one of the worst experiences ever with a…

"Um, as a scientist I have to say there is no such thing as a non "GMO" food."

Um, as someone with a degree in chemistry, one in biology and who has worked in the food ingredient industry, I totally disagree.

I was expecting you to make some sort of comment about evolution essentially causing genetic modification,…

Had a friend a long time ago. He GOT the job. This was a CPA slot as second in command in the accounting department. 4 weeks after getting the job, he and a bunch of other people got fired in a company wide layoff.

He turned around, sued, and won. The ruling was that the company absolutely knew that there were upcoming…

Another trick for any cheaper wine. Have something very high in fat, even if it's a pat of butter. Coats your mouth and therefore makes tasting water soluble things harder.

This is also a good trick at a party. Serve appetizers with things such as cream cheese, etc. in them.
