What makes me excited to work in HR is that the field is always changing. And I love to juggle with changes, deal with it and learn from it.
We all have seen when HR was once considered as just an administrative job but now the business has recognized it to be both operational and strategic. Then we got a seat at the table! As we all agree there is a brighter side to us more than just making policies, implementing it or being HR policeman! (more…)
It's snowing in Dallas and it is such a great coincidence that it happened on Christmas Day! It was a…
Employees have voted Facebook as the Best place to work for in 2013 as per Employee’s Choice Award. The survey was conducted by Glassdoor using feedback that employees voluntarily and anonymously shared about their work experiences throughout the past year. Check out the list to see who made it to the Top 50 list.
I have been researching a lot about companies and their work culture to know what makes their employees feel excited to get to work everyday. And I must say, Glassdoor reviews help us understand exactly this from the people who work in these companies. (more…)
You might have noticed the Work at Work cartoon series at my blog. Well, let me tell you why did I start it in the first place. I was doing a study about my Facebook likes and shares and I noticed my readers share pictures more than interesting and helpful articles. It is a general study that I did in which I found that the tendency of sharing pictures over written articles is 60% more. So I made my own cartoons quoting funny incidents at office to entertain my audience or sometimes to probe different scenarios. Results! More shares, message spreads and better visibility.

It can be nerve wrecking and you might even regret keeping that ring tone of your lovely dog barking! Right? But it might give the interviewer a glimpse into your personality. (more…)
Do you think people update their LinkedIn profile only because they are actively searching for jobs?
There is always this misperception and people often fear to update their LinkedIn profile in the assumption that their employers will think that they are looking for another job! Actually this was his first response when I told my husband and his friends to update their LinkedIn profile! They felt they don’t need to since they are not searching for jobs!
Hope you all had a blast this past holiday weekend! I had an awesome time with all sorts of fun activities with bowling, karaoke party, a crazy drive to the Natural Bridge at Virginia and the most amazing part of all was the time spent painting with my 4 year old naughty niece that had added more colors to my Thanksgiving celebrations! And this is one of her creations- and I call it ‘The beauty of little mind’. (more…)
I know the title of this article is contradictory to general opinion. As an employee, me included, we would like to work for the best companies. And we often take pride in it. But recently hearing one of my friend’s situation intrigued me to write about how “It is not working for the best company that matters but getting a right career fit that is important for the success of your career“.

One of the sports shows that my husband and I don’t miss to watch everyday is ESPN’s ‘First take’ with Skip Bayless and Stephen A Smith. If you are familiar with them then you would ask me who do I enjoy listening to more? It is Skip Bayless. Of course. Because he always speaks contrary to general opinion. When the NBA season kicked off last week, more than their discussions, my attention was driven to LeBron James! (more…)
