I have a strange question for you, but I am quite stumped how to handle this situation. I was hired to work at Company X in November, as an associate buyer for e-commerce products. I have 5 years in the industry. Week one on the job, I found out my job moving cross country and my supervisor is leaving the department.

I can’t believe it either. The Best Recruiting Blogs of 2007 results were released this week and there were a lot of great blogs on [...]
Here’s one from the mailbag: Hi, I went to a pretty good university and graduated with a degree in human resources. The problem, I took some time off after I graduated to travel and work at places that offered flexible hours (i.e. waitressing, part-time marketing). I’ve tried talking to the career center at my school [...]
I am happy to have the winter holidays safely and surely behind us all. It means more blogging for you to read (from everyone, including me). It means more reliable co-workers (thankfully).
