VB MANAGEMENT - Recruiting, Resumes, and Hiring

Recently in my Business Management class, we discussed recruiting and hiring new employees. I've never thought about this, to be honest, but I now realize that having a great company culture begins with getting the right people.

What I found most interesting about the lesson is the "purple squirrels" concept. I naively thought that there must be SEVERAL purple squirrels out there who would love to work for my company. THERE ARE NO PURPLE SQUIRRELS. That perfect candidate doesn't exist. I now know that I will have to find the best combinations of candidates and mold them so that their strengths add to my company's culture (while allowing them to grow as individuals).

I recently ran across this video that talks about avoiding hiring people just like you. You want to hire people that complement you and your company's culture. See the video below.

I recently read an article that discusses how to recruit top talent. The article points out that getting the best people starts with having a great company culture. The article encourages employers to put employees first and stay involved. It's a great read.

I'm Blogging This Year

One way I'll be preparing for college or a career this summer is through enhanced reading and writing. A great way to do this is through blogging, which I'll be doing in my Career Preparedness class. While blogging is new to me, I see it as a great opportunity to improve my writing and Web publishing skills.

Today I'm learning blog basics -- inserting pictures, videos, hyperlinks -- so that my readers will have a rich experience when they visit. I hope to use these, in addition to my writing, to add insightful experiences, reactions, and reasoning to the blogging community.

Practice posts:

I came across an article today about excelling in any type of interview.  Good stuff!

I also found this great photo today.  I think it's beautiful.

A Look at Savings

My Career Preparedness class recently started the unit on Financial Literacy, and I'm looking forward to learning how to manage my money.  Our first lesson was on savings.

I have been told all my life to save a little bit of any money I get - birthdays, Christmas, allowance -- but I never truly realized the value of it until this lesson.

Not only can I save money, but I can make my money GROW. The most interesting thing I learned was probably the Rule of 72.  The Rule of 72 is a formula that helps you calculate how long it takes to double your money.  Here it is in plain English:

I believe EVERY high school student should know about Rule of 72!
