Well somehow we missed all the buzz leading up to the premiere of MTV’s Hired series but it was just yesterday so I think you can cut us some slack. That being said, I did want to point out this article from Inc. Magazine, which features an interview with Michelle Madhok, founder of SheFinds.com. Michelle Madhok, founder of SheFinds.com, a New York City company that operates a shopping blog about fashion and beauty trends and deals, needed to hire an editorial assistant. “MTV Hired,” a new documentary series following recent graduates, wanted to film a small business that was hiring.

For the second time in two days I am dating myself by my comments but I’ll do it anyway. Have you ever heard of the “Choose Your Own Adventure” books? Well they were great because throughout the book you could choose what the main character does and you could read the books over and over again, each time getting a new story.

A lot of articles are now stating that employers are going to Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and other social media outlets to search for viable talent. So, does that mean that all you have to do is set a status message that you’re looking for a job and then add your resume to your profile? NO! Believe it or not employers are not going to be banging down your door if you’re a passive job hunter like that. Internships are still the way to go if you want to get noticed. Internships not only help you to gain relevant experience, but […]

I may be showing my age here when I say that I remember when MTV actually used to play music videos. Since then it has spawned the reality TV genre; often taken it to new levels…both high and very low.
