Why didn’t anyone tell me about natural, bioidentical progesterone when I was young and in the throes of hormonal imbalances caused by PMS? Unfortunately, even today millions of women within the teen through menopause age groups suffering with mild to severe symptoms of PMS are offered antidepressants, birth control pills or are just being told to grin and bear it. Conventional medicine has failed to address this incapacitating and all pervasive problem. A woman cannot lead a happy life if she suffers with PMS every month.

So, how do we avoid the lies? Well, everyone can just promise to be honest from here on out. If that doesn’t quite work, we could develop a better system for measuring candidates’ skills and how they relate to real-world scenarios at the job they’re applying for. A system that allows recruiters and hiring authorities to get a truer picture of the candidate will help companies avoid falling for the lies, and it will make it easier to match the right candidates to the right jobs.

Due to its metabolic effects, high levels of cortisol can be extremely damaging. People with chronically elevated levels of cortisol may have high blood sugar and insulin levels and high blood pressure; they may gain weight, especially around the abdomen; and they have a greater risk of heart disease.

Developing a Plan B is a lot easier if you have an outlet that can put you in contact with recruiters and hiring managers that are interested in the skills you acquired during your service. You also need a source that can help you recognize the skills that you might need to develop in order to have a shot at the jobs that really interest you.

There’s something to be said for instinct, but when hiring authorities and recruiters know what they’re looking for and measure each candidate against the same criteria there’s a much better chance of matching the right person to the right job. See, when job candidate’s rights are respected, everyone comes out on top.

Symptoms of estrogen dominance range from mildly annoying to severe. When a woman consults a physician for help with these symptoms, she is generally given two options: surgery, usually a hysterectomy, or prescription drugs, most often counterfeit hormones that actually worsen the problem. Rarely is she told that her problem is likely the result of estrogen dominance and that natural, bioidentical progesterone could alleviate her symptoms. Bioidentical progesterone has been used effectively in treating a range of symptoms related to estrogen dominance including weight loss

If every interviewer you asked was willing to give you honest feedback, the world would probably be a better place, but we all know that’s not going to happen. For every person willing to give you some real insight, there will be 20 who say something just to get you off the phone.

Almost every recruiter has had a moment when a “perfect” candidate turns down the “perfect” job. This moment can be a little shocking, somewhat embarrassing, and incredibly frustrating. You feel as though you’ve committed your time and energy aiding both the candidate and your client, and all of a sudden it’s washed away. So why does this happen? Is it some cruel joke that candidates set out to play on recruiters?

Those days are over, friends. You refused to get a drink off the top shelf of the refrigerator for your little brother 25 years ago, that’s going on his blog. You try to be funny on MySpace and you come off like kind of a jerk, countless people are gonna know about it. Anonymity is no longer part of our daily lives, and people are inundated with so many sounds and images that it’s become harder and harder to make a name for yourself simply by doing a solid day’s work.

...on six measures, the combination of T3 and T4 proved superior to isolated T4. In particular, when patients received both thyroid hormones, their symptoms of fatigue, depression, and anger were significantly improved, and they performed better on tests of attention, mental flexibility, and learning.

Now, we’re not advocates of staying in a job that offers you nothing and makes you want to throw sharp objects at passersby. However, we are advocates of conducting effective, intelligent job searches, or more appropriately we might call these “opportunity explorations”. Having a strong Plan B means conducting searches that provide you with confidentiality while you’re still at your job.

Consideration: All interested candidates, from all available sources, should be considered for an open position based upon their ability and aptitude, and that consideration should be free from racism, sexism, and other forms of prejudice and intolerance.

It may be no coincidence, then, that just as we’ve seen a dramatic increase in the number of overweight and obese Americans, we’ve also seen new estimates that the number of people with undiagnosed hypothyroidism is reaching unprecedented levels.

Many recruiters, hiring authorities, marketing gurus, and HR personnel believe that getting on the same page with this new crop of “youngsters” is a far greater task than the ones they have faced with previous generations. Why all the concern? Well, apparently young people don’t even view work the same as the old Boomers

Almost everybody wakes up at one time or another filled with dread just at the thought of having to go into work...However, for some the feeling of dread never goes away.

Three years ago, I was giving a lecture to a large group of women. One of the topics which I discussed was about hysterectomies. Out of curiosity I asked the audience through a show of hands to let me know how many had hysterectomies. The response shocked me. More than ½ raised their hands. They were women between 35- 60 years of age and there were more than 100 in attendance.

It’s amazing how often the things we talk about that need to be done in recruiting are things that we’ve all probably be hearing since we were three. In this case, don’t lie and make sure people know exactly what they’re getting into before they meet with you. It’ll make it much easier for the candidate, but it will also give recruiters and hiring authorities a much better chance of finding the type of talent they’re looking for.

Thyroid conditions are common–some experts estimate that close to 60 million Americans have a thyroid problem, and the majority are hypothyroid. Unfortunately, the vast majority of people with thyroid disease also have not been diagnosed or treated.

"If you’re wondering what testosterone has to do with a woman’s interest in sex, the answer is: everything. In women as well as men, testosterone is the hormone of desire."

The spam/spam filter problems serve as another reminder of how broken the system has become. Candidates don’t know if their info is safe, recruiters are missing out on potential clients, and everyone is spending far too much time trying to get down to brass tacks. There simply doesn’t seem to be a job board or online recruiting system in place that is able to cope with the number of candidates and recruiters out there.

"Itz time to throw a little love the recruiters’ way. What can be done to make the lives of these mighty men and women a little easier? Itz time for a Recruiter’s Bill of Rights. Why should candidate’s be the only ones with a bill of their own, right? Well, as luck would have it, someone has taken John Younger’s Job Candidate Bill of Rights and transfered it piece by piece into the realm of the recruiter."

"With our recent exploration of the Job Candidate Bill of Rights and all of our talk about “candidate control,” it might seem as though we’re blaming everything that’s wrong with the industry on recruiters; as if somehow it’s only the fault of the recruiter (or hiring authority) that’s keeping candidates from landing their dream jobs. Not so, friends."

"While I would not presume to suggest that progesterone is a cure for breast cancer, this study certainly supports the theory that it can help prevent it. Other research suggests that natural, bioidentical progesterone may delay the progression of this often deadly disease."

The recruiter shouldn’t do anything regarding confidentiality without the authorization of the candidate. In plain English, the candidate is in control of their personal and professional data. If the candidate says “don’t contact this former employer,” you don’t do it.

"Now.. you can’t tell anyone else about this, because this is the industry’s dirty secret: The real costs for staffing organizations associated with using job boards is not the price of a posting."
