Maybe it’s just the wrong time of year. We’re generally prepared for the onslaught of graduates in spring.

So when the phone call this week started with […]

From the start, the employer said “No problem, we’ll pay your relocation costs.” Then, oops … we meant we’ll pay $3,500. After […]
Should Unemployed Job Seekers Be Ruled Out? Some Think So We’ve already heard from some of our clients that they don’t/wouldn’t adopt this practice. If you’ve never been affected by unemployment, this might not appear to be a bad idea. As recruiters, however, we know how much talent has gone under- or un-utilized in this […]
The Kauffman Foundation is hosting an event for local employers’ interns on Monday, June 28 at the Kauffman Memorial Gardens (across the street from Foundation and just east of the Country Club Plaza). It’s a social networking opportunity — meet other interns and learn more about opportunities in KC, all at no charge! Here’s the […]
We had the opportunity to visit with JoCo Community College design graduates this week and were reminded that it’s daunting to begin the process of searching for a job. There are tips and tools on our website (www.landajobnow.com)and, soon to appear, our new website with everything you need for your search, in one spot. For […]
