I recently read a disturbing  New York Times article on diverse educated folks struggling to find good jobs.  While this article specifically addressed Blacks, I bet there are similar stories for other ethnically diverse people as well as women. Are we still in the early 1900’s? Who is still allowing these folks to have hiring authority and how come they have not yet retired???   I thought (or was hoping) we were further...

I always tell candidates I work with Bing. I tell them for two reasons: One, I am usually talking to them about a career with Bing and Two: I want to hear their feedback on Bing.  The conversations usually goes something like this:   Me: “I am Jamie Morgan and I recruit for Bing” Candidate: “Ah, yes Bing, very cool” Me: “What do you think of Bing, are you using it?”   This is where the...
