Weekly reMix 5/4/2012

Happy almost Cinco de Mayo! Do we really need an excuse to eat fajita’s and drink margarita’s?  I didn’t think so! but it’s all good. 

So the other exciting event this weekend is the Kentucky Derby on Saturday.  I’ll be drinking Margarita’s on Friday.  Mint Juleps on Saturday.  Unfortunately I’m too old to drink Margarita’s and Mint Juleps on the same day so I have to split it up. It’s all part of growing up kids.

So this week the reMix is heavily slated towards me.  I had some great posts this week:

NFL Draft Part 1 – Get your big girl pants on 

NFL Draft Part 2 – They can’t all be Tom Brady 

And over on Project Social HR I’m talking about:

No Second Chances

AND I was on the Drive Thru HR show,  I can’t tell you how excited and honored I was to be on the show. Bryan Wempen and William Tincup are great hosts who can make anyone talk.  Check out the show here,  it’s only 30 minutes!  Bryan mentioned a post he found on my blog called “Avoiding the Dementors Kiss”,  which nobody read but I’ve included it here if you are interested.

Okay, so besides my posts and self-promotion on Drive Thru HR I also had some time to read some good stuff from the HR blogsphere,  check out what I thought were some of the best from this week:

Best of the blogs: 

Always looking by Charlie Judy of HR Fishbowl.  Sound advice reminding you to always have your ear to the ground and ready for the next opportunity.

Employer loyalty isn’t dead? Wait. What? From China Gorman. If you aren’t tuning in to her data points series you should be. She finds a lot of great data and pulls out all the good nuggets.

HR Strategy for dummies – From the Tim Sackett Project.  All about our beloved HR strategies

HR Matrix: I’m plugged in – More goodness from Chris Fields at Cost of Work. He breaks it down on why it’s awesome to be an HR blogger.
