I'm in my mid thirties, I love what I do and I love my family. This blog is essentially me morphing my life into Recruiting. Expect the odd long bow to be drawn. I'm a passionate career Recruiter with more than a decade's experience in the IT Recruitment world, I have things to say.. and with this I will

Wanted: Inspiration... DEAD or ALIVE


Well, here we go again... doing my nightly blog reading, and it seems it is the same stuff, different day. Hold on... did I just see a Groundhog?

Articles on Gen Y, v Gen X v Baby Boomers. Gen Y's "you just don't understand us!" Baby Boomers "and we really don't care!" Gen X's where is the money in this debate?
Articles on Thought leadership, who is one? how do you become one? and just because you say you are one.... are you really?
Articles on the next big technical advance (AKA twitter me this Batman! Does Twitter work for you)
Articles on the Recession. Are we close to the end? Of life as we know it or the Recession... depends on what you read.

Or variations of the above...

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Honestly, I'm getting a little jaded. I must be, I'm getting into conversations about the validity of a cover letter in a job search (again).

John Sumsers TOP 100 INFLUENCERS in the HR/Recruiting world may spark some interest, some great reading and some high level debate (or some low brow name calling, Jerry Spring style, which we all love). Hopefully John will have a good mix of the generations and where they sit in the HR/Rec value chain. Having been an avid reader of John's over the years, I'd expect nothing less in what will prove to be a huge excise for John. (But will make him a great resource for those people Recruiting in the HR/Rec niche!)

Maybe it's me. My life seems to have hit 4th gear, with holiday finished, commitments with the children and work commitments firing up across the country. Don't get me wrong I am so appreciative for this and I value every minute. It's just that I enjoy this part of my life, the late night blog reading, the learning about Recruitment and the frivolity between the participants. I seem to be missing that. It has left the building Elvis style.

Maybe it's the missing chat area from one of my favourite sites. Maybe I'm a little more tired at the moment and don't get around as much anymore, so only see those certain discussion/blog topics.

I'm obviously not a thought leader, as I cannot at this time of night come up with something fresh or alternative to what I've said, although a new kids book article could be on its way soon.. be warned.

I am happy, comfortable and challenged in my life and work.

So herein is the challenge blogoverse, give me something new! Get me thinking, inspire me... please.
