HR Humor

Since we are in a recession, resumes are pouring into e-mail "Inboxes". Think twice before hiring anyone who puts statements such as the following on their resumes:

" Wholly responsible for two (2) failed financial institutions."

"Am a perfectionist and rarely if if ever forget details."

"Note: Please don't misconstrue my 14 jobs as 'job-hopping'. I have never quit a job."

"References: none. I've left a path of destruction behind me."

HR Humor

"Put several prospective employees into a room with only a table and two chairs. Leave them
without any instruction and check back on them in two hours:

The ones that are sleeping.... they are management material.
The ones that do not notice when you walk in.... place them in security.
The ones that have left early.... put them in sales.
And the ones that are talking to the chairs.... assign them to human resources."

"The best executive is the one who has sense enough to pick good men to do what he wants done, and self-restraint enough to keep from meddling with them while they do it." Theodore Roosevelt

Encouraging Quotes

"It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him the words:"And this, too, shall pass away."" Abraham Lincoln

Human Resources-Employee Relations

If there was ever a critical time to consistently communicate with your employees and to offer them on-going encouragement, that time is now. Please get up from your desk, find a fellow employee who needs to hear some positive words, and speak those words to that person.
