Are you your resume? I don't think so. A resume is a brief snapshot of our work history. If the candidate lacks a certain requirement, the recruiter should ask if the candidate has experience in that area. It might have just been left out intentionally. For example, "The candidate has never sold anything" might be that the candidate carried a sales position in a company and didn't include it in the resume. "The candidate has never mentored anyone!" The candidate elected not to put that on the ...

Sometimes memories are all you have. My family is at a difficult stage of life right now, as my 80-year-old mother is showing increasing levels of dementia. She needs to be reminded where she is, what we're doing, whom she is with--even what she likes--and she's fond of telling tales from long, long ago--sometimes repeating the same stories ten minutes later. I am especially grateful now that she had let me start scrapbooking her huge stash of family pictures over a year ago. The stories and ...

We are surrounded by so much paper and card that it is easy to forget just how complex it is. There are many varieties and grades of paper materials, and whilst it is fairly easy to spot the varieties, it is far more difficult to spot the grades. It needs to be understood that most paper and card is manufactured for a specific purpose, so that whilst the corn-flake packet may look smart it is clearly not something destined for the archives. It is made to look good, but only needs a limited ...

I recently witnessed a conversation about the 'death' of paper direct mail due to the 'life' of web presence and blogs. I'm not exactly sure why, but someone seems to declare the 'death' of a marketing technique every few months'I guess that's how some consultants stay employed ' announce the 'death' of something and create the 'life' of something new. Anyway, I disagree with the notion paper direct mail is dead and as such thought I'd share how we integrate paper direct mail into our ...

Here's a great idea for making a special 'first haircut' scrapbook page. Between the ages of about 12 and 18 months, a baby boy or girl may go for their first hair cut.
