Where is the Human in Resources

So today I think I have applied for the fifth or sixth time with Quintiles / Innovex for a job either in Cincinnati or in Sydney Australia. I did hear back from Innovex in Sydney, Australia. They were very nice and told me that basically I need to already be in Australia in order to be eligible for a position there due to interview scheduling. Ok, I get that. But here I am, located in Cincinnati, applying for jobs in Cincinnati. I don’t understand the lack of human contact in today’s job market. Can someone please tell me why the “Human” had been removed from “Human Resources”?

In the big scheme of things, it doesn’t really matter since I have finally found my focus in corporate education. So, I guess the next thing I need to do is to start thinking about my own personal style and I how I want to brand myself as an individual. I have been thinking about this a lot since that broadcast last week. I have been reading a book called Bohemian Manifesto by Laren Stover. It has been very inspirational in helping me identify for myself my own style. While I do not consider myself a “Bohemian”, per se, (as defined by Laren Stover) I do consider myself “Bohemianish”. But how will I brand myself as uniquely me? Perhaps I will take a survey among my friends and colleagues.

So, my big questions for you today are, “how do you find the human in the resources in your job search?” “How are you circumnavigating the system to get your foot in the door?” AND “How are you identified as a human person to your friends, family and colleagues?”
