Just wanted to do another quick shout out regarding CreativeCamp2.0 happening tomorrow, December 2nd, in Germantown.

I’m really excited to meet the new campers that have signed up to attend! I’m also excited about the potential of the un-conference! If it’s anything like the CreativeCamp from September, I’m sure it will take on an inspiring life of its own!

Here are some good resources if you’re planning on attending and not sure how you fit in:

information about the idea here
Technorati results for barcamp search
where the event is
tips on holding a session are here

and of course, the wiki to get more details about CreativeCamp2.0

There are tons of blogs and articles about “camping” so check ‘em out! See you tomorrow!

Here’s something I’ve learned since I started in recruiting:

Use the phone if at all possible instead of email. It’s sometimes scarier… like when you have to decline an interview, or turn down a position, or giving bad news in general. But it’s better. It’s more professional, and respectful to the person on the other end.

I am a firm believer in the convenience and efficiency of email, don’t get me wrong. But I’m finding that as we continue to adapt to communicating through this medium, there are times when it’s more appropriate to talk live.

I have heard of people being dumped through text messages, being fired through emails–not good!

What it boils down to for me is something I’ve found to be a very good question to ask yourself when making important decisions: “Is it better or just easier?”

And for not so important decisions either…like “email or call?”
