Search the Dark Web!!!!

 Welcome back, 

    Ya Know its been an interesting week. Looks like I'm going to be changing jobs here in the next few months (For a good reason) but this weeks topic got me to thinking.  What if anything is out there on me. I get emails once and again that my password has been found in a dark web search. I really don't know how that even works or what I need to do about it but I'm sure I forgot what that password was and have changed it at least 15 times since it was stolen. That did prompt me to do a quick search of myself. I started with my Full name  Jonathan Murphy. I found out there are a lot of people with my same name. none of them even look like me. However from Actors to MMA fighters the names is synonymous with greatness. After not finding anything on myself I started to search with more specifics. When I typed in Jon Murphy Wichita KS it did populate my Linked in account. The one and only Social media account i think should be used as a hiring tool. Yes it was developed for such a tool and has specific protocols in place but its also protects the hiring official from breaking many of the rules. For example hiring an induvial based on social status, gender, pregnancy status, language or even exposure to smoking or drug use without cause would be illegal. All of these things are in plain site using Facebook. I for one after 20yrs of service have build a stonewall to prevent the world from becoming me. I got by an Online handles Ironman. If you want to know more about me feel free to google it. They made a bunch of movies about me in the past 15years. All joking aside in my worried about having a small digital footprint on the web. I have worked hard to keep it that way. I don't do it to be mysterious but to keep my life private. Yes I do have a Facebook but wont be showing up in anyone's random searches that I don't want to find me. Im looking forward to keeping it lowkey for years to come.. Living in the shadows but making changes in the light seeing that everyone else gets the credit..

Thanks for reading.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO

 Fellow bloggers,     As I sit here and contemplate all we have experienced over the past nine weeks, it's amazing how much information can go into one class. When we started this class early in the year 2023, I was working as an OSHA training instructor and now I sit here as a Government Civilian back working on the base. What does that mean? Well, it was an opportunity to evaluate many of the HR concepts we have discussed in this class. Below you will find three of my biggest programs and a little about how they need to be pushed to the front. On-Boarding- I was working in this exact same position just over a year ago. The hiring manager pushed the topic of a Turn-Key hire. Well, with me, that’s precisely what they got. However, had I not been a turn-key hire, the onboarding process for not only the Civilian Side but that of the office was not one to write home about. There was zero done in the office in preparation for my arrival. The office was equipped with ...

Where is the Help Hiding

 Welcome back to another night with Blog!!!   I just recently watched a video with four leaders in their companies discussing keys to individual cooperate success. All of there stories revolved around connecting with their employees and building a network both internally and externally. I really liked what Brent with Dell said about an approach to connect through brand certification. They are providing employees with opportunity to learn more about to company. The hope is the more they understand the more they will connect.  I just recently retired from a 20yr Air Force Career. So this whole corporate world is new to me but the concept of retention and recruiting is not. I spent 2005-2010 in the recruiting service and learned a lot about the Air Force at that time. I had just over three years under my belt before I started convincing individuals to sign their lives away. I was a natural I loved it. I could talk and share experiences at this point in time I had travel...

Lets talk about Text!!!!

 What a week it has been and its only Tuesday!!! We just finished on-boarding our newest hire a baby-boomer who was a joy. But what about the Gen X and Gen Z applicants. I remember the days when it was submit an application (By Paper) and if you managed to get a phone call you cleaned yourself up and went in to talk about the job. It todays HR marketplace we have way more than the "Traditional" interview setting we just mentioned. Two of the interview types don't even require the applicant to put on a nice pair of pants. The telephone interview as direct as it sounds is my least favorite type. When you are on the phone you really have no idea what's going on at the other end of the line. (Mind wanders in imagination) The Safety guy in me thinks dangerously of course. Now I understand these could be fact finding interview just to determine applicant worthiness but really if the resume doesn't give you the data what's a phone call going to really answer. Next on...
