I am starving. And since I suddenly have an urge to eat an entire plate of cookies, I am heading out for the evening. See you tomorrow.

With Mother’s Day right around the corner, many of us are left thinking, “What do I get for mom?”. I’d suggest Edor if you are thinking about jewelry. Each piece in the collection is super affordable (as in $6 for a pair of earrings affordable!), which our wallets love, but also looks expensive and special. Visit Edor over on etsy to see for yourself.
And be sure to enter the Edor Giveaway on The Bright Side Project as well (entries close in just a couple of days).
I’m glad you’re back this week- welcome to Craft Venture! I’m Brenda from Phydeaux Designs, walking you through hiring super star employees for your small business. Last week, we talked about possible spots to post your job openings. Today, let’s talk about the actual posting of your job opening!
If you’ve been reading Craft Venture from the start, you know my philosophy about writing: make it engaging! Job postings are no different. In fact, what is a job posting other than a description for something you’re selling; in this case, the job you are filling?
If you work in the corporate world, you are restricted from being too creative with your postings. However, you are your own boss! As long as you’re not breaking local, state or Federal regulations or labor codes, be creative!
But … let’s talk about the legalities for a second.
You already know not to recruit for specific ages, genders, ethnicities, religions, etc. So your job posting cannot include language about any of those. I won’t go into great detail here. Just please check your state’s labor or employment department to avoid inadvertently breaking any laws! As well as the Federal Department of Labor (or your country’s equivalent!)! You can also talk with your local Small Business Association or Chamber of Commerce.
Now for the fun stuff: the posting!
Well, I am really excited because it is that time again…the new exhibition just went up this morning. So many shops to check out. Take a look…
Graphic designer by day and photographer by night, Brittany Hass of Hassography takes photos of the world’s “small details”. These images are amongst my favorites from her shop…
Have a great weekend everyone. See you Monday!
