Blog Spotter Two

Kool…..Kwerky…… Kwestioning . . . . . we’ve found the best of the best for you!

Here’s what we found for you that’s funny, interesting and clever this week in the Careers, HR and Recruitment blogosphere.

Only Because You Work For Me… could mistakenly be viewed as just another “I had a bad boss” story. In fact Cora Mae has provided us all with an extremely insightful lesson in the incalculable long term costs if you take your colleagues for granted and don’t encourage and nurture your staff. You can follow Cora Mae on Twitter @1CoraMae.

I know, I know it’s an older post (11 October 2010) but I can’t ignore a blog that vindicates all those times I fell asleep at work! Falling Asleep at Work Increases Productivity provides irrefutable scientific proof that a “nanna-nap” in the bathroom cubicle at work is an act of employee loyalty. Thank you Meghan at Talent Culture and your guest author Cathy Taylor. I knew I was an unappreciated visionary! You can follow them both on Twitter @MeghanMBiro and @CYTaylor

Chris Ferdinandi provides a beautifully inspiring video – The Right To Dream from Sonia Manchanda.  It serves as a reminder of what makes us human, our ability to dream and its importance to the creative process. It’s all part of an amazing project in India called Dream:IN whose goal is to tap into young people’s dreams and identify how they might positively influence India’s future planning. Good career and life lessons here I think? You can follow Chris and Sonia on Twitter @ChrisFerdinandi and @sonia_manchanda.

Penelope Trunk provides some interesting insights into how blogging can provide a career boost at Blogging Bootcamp is Stupid. You can follow Penelope on Twitter @penelopetrunk

And I’ll finish up this week with some inspiring quotes from the late Steve Jobs of Apple at Think Different. You can follow Recognition Heroes on Twitter @mcfrecognition
