      Hello. This is kind of an “unconventional” question , but have other visitors asked you how get the menu bar to look like you’ve got it? I also have a blog and am really looking to alter around the theme, however am scared to death to mess with it for fear of the search engines punishing me. I am very new to all of this …so i am just not positive exactly how to try to to it all yet. I’ll just keep working on it one day at a time Thanks for any help you can offer here

    WordPress update to 2.8.4 Version 

    WordPress realeased it’s updated version 2.8.4 in August 14, 2009. It is a security update so everyone please update the wordpress soon.

    WordPress.org Release Statement ” Yesterday a vulnerability was discovered: a specially crafted URL could be requested that would allow an attacker to bypass a security check to verify a user requested a password reset. As a result, the first account without a key in the database (usually the admin account) would have its password reset and a new password would be emailed to the account owner. This doesn’t allow remote access, but it is very annoying.

    We fixed this problem last night and have been testing the fixes and looking for other problems since then. Version 2.8.4 which fixes all known problems is now available for download and is highly recommended for all users of WordPress.”

    Regards,
    sakin

    How to source Candidates Using Facebook? 

    Facebook is, per their website, “a social utility that connects you with the people around you”. On this site, you can set-up personal profile of yourself, connect with friends, colleagues, join groups and networks, read news, post photos, videos, webs, jobs and many more. Facebook is a social networking site, much like LinkedIn for example, but with a more open community for communicating, setting-up and customizing profiles and sharing of information. The site was originally built for college students to network and socialize with one another, but has since opened its doors to everyone else, and it has really taken off in popularity.

    Recruiters, Hiring Mangers and Internet Sources can use Facebook as one of the good sources for finding potential job seekers and candidates. Using this you can also search passive job seeker and approach them to join your repudiated company. Most of the companies in the developed countries like US, UK, Europe have already started to use Facebook for sourcing candidates. But for the country like Nepal and other developing country it’s totally a new concept. Here are a few ways to do this:

    1) Use Facebook Friend Finder:
    This features automatically scans your email and address books. This will list out your friends, colleagues and other people you know who have already joined Facebook and will provide the option to send invitation to connect them. From here you can see your mutual friends and also look into their other friends as well. You can see the names and minimal information for friends that are “not mutual”, but you do have ways to reach out to them and connect directly. In most cases, you can use Facebooks option to “poke” them, write on their “wall” in their profile, or see if they posted contact information on their page – such as a phone or email address.

    Facebook Friend Finder

    2) Use search Options:
    Facebook offers Basic search by keywords to advance search by tons of options, such as location, company, education, and title). The one drawback on Facebook is that it will only let you search your network (I’m from Pittsburgh, so my network is limited to Pittsburgh connections and anyone else I connected with). One way around this is to connect with others outside of your network, but is only limited to see those contacts in the other networks. Another option is to change what network you want to be designated on Facebook.

    Facebook Search

    3) Posting Jobs to the Marketplace:
    Posting are free on this site and go out to your network. There are lots of job categories listed.

    Facebook Marketplace
    4) Join Groups:
    This is the best part in Facebook, where you are most likely going to find people and connect. You can join the group which you are interested in and then connect and discuss with the group members. There is a discussion board open for discussion.

    Group Discussion
    There are plenty of other ways to use Facebook, such as asking questions to your network, participating in or sponsoring events and uploading tailored videos for others to see. You can customize your profile and advertise your interests in connecting and job openings that way as well.

    Hire for Soft Skills 

    Great people have great soft skills and technical skills. But in the tight market its very difficult to get the great people with both the skill sets. In this type of market, we should give more preference to the soft skills and teach the technical skills. As the person with good technical skills who lacks soft sills will mostly give problems if they don’t have what it take to to manage the work and working environment.

    Thats why i think its always better to Hire for soft skills and teach the technical skills. Some of the soft skills needed are as follows:

    • Attitude
    • Passion
    • Attention to details
    • Good communication (Written and Verbal)
    • Fast learner and willingness to learn new things
    • Ability to play nice with others

    Do you agree that soft skills are the best predictor of success?

    What would you add to this soft skills list?

    Note: Hire for Intangibles; You Can Teach Technical Skills. It’s a person’s attitude, passion, and ability to work with other people that counts for hiring.
