Kids in the Office
LLoyd Staffing was recently contacted by Wall Street Journal Columnist, Sue Shellenbarger, to learn how we and other companies accommodate children in our corporate setting. One of the staff members she interviewed was Barbara Cohen Farber, Executive Director of LLoyd Administrative Staffing, with 14 years at LLoyd and nearly 30 years as a recruiter of talent.
Taking Temp to the Next Level
Temporary employment can be quite an adventure. From the moment a LLoyd Staffing Specialist calls with your first assignment, the doors are wide open to try your hand and develop your skills at a variety of employers. For students, new grads, and boomers who desire flexibility in their schedule, to professionals seeking a career change – temporary work is ideal for trying out a position, field or company, before making a “permanent” commitment.
Take Control of Your Job Search
They say that the three of the most stressful things in life include moving to a new house, health issues and finding a new job. If this is true, especially the last one, it continues to stump me as to why so many job seekers approach their job search with absolutely no plan, no organization and will submit to working with practically anyone, without considering if it’s a good fit.
Peer Today, Boss Tomorrow
Congratulations! You’ve just been singled out and promoted to a supervisory role. It’s very uplifting to be recognized and rewarded by your employer, but on the heels of these good feelings often comes the fall out from peers who may or may not be happy for you.
Surf Smart
With sites like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc… the internet has become the go to place to keep in touch with friends, family and business associates alike. It’s no wonder there are more and more villains out there trying to ruin your web browsing experience.
Don’t Just Work – Work At It
Planning and preparation is an absolute must for the success of any business professional. An ideal example of why and how this works is in sports. Ask any professional sports coach and they will agree that when their team has a good practice, they always play a good game and more often than not, come away with a win.
