Do you remember buying that expensive all-cotton resume paper to print out your new, precisely formatted masterpiece of a resume? How about that nice bundle of manila envelopes and a book of stamps to go with that pricey ream? And then mailing them all out to every company in the local yellow pages? In the age of the internet, it's hard to imagine that this was the norm not long ago.

Snorkeling wasn't an activity that I enjoyed. In fact, I always avoided it whenever the opportunity was presented. I am not talking about scuba diving. I am talking about snorkeling. You know, the mask, the mouthpiece, the flippers and all that is involved in the activity. I hated it.

Recruiting, hiring, and retaining employees are anything but small tasks for HR professionals. With so much already on a hiring manager’s plate, the act of engaging candidates before making a hire often goes by the wayside.  The truth of the matter is in today’s competitive marketplace, employee engagement should begin long before a hire is made. When approached correctly, pre-hire candidate engagement can prove mutually beneficial for both employers as well as potential employees alike, resulting in higher job satisfaction, better on-the-job performance, and increased profitability.

The job interview can be the most exciting as well as the most nerve racking component of the job search. While being invited to an interview serves as a strong signal from the employer that you are being considered for the position, this crucial conversation can truly make or break your chances at receiving the job offer. For job seekers prone to interview anxiety, the fear of saying the wrong things that could potentially take them out of the running can be a huge source of stress. If you feel that you fall into this category, take a deep breath.

You may still have to bring a small stack of resumes to a job fair, but it's not just about handing them out. Some employers at job fairs aren't even currently hiring. What are they doing at the job fair, you ask? They could be doing any number of things, including:

Networking
Looking for future leaders
Meeting possible candidates
Having conversations that could lead to a hire later on
Seeking a certain skill set or interest level
Looking for "good fit" candidates

Although they are necessary and highly sought after by savvy job seekers, the truth is that many employees greatly underestimate the cost of benefits to their employers. Statistically, companies are paying almost half above what employees assume benefits are costing them.
