Happy Monday! Welcome to Craft Venture! I’m Brenda from Phydeaux Designs, helping you learn to hire super star employees! Last week, we finished writing our job descriptions. This week, I’ll point you to some possible spots to post your job openings. Because I know this is the burning question on many of your minds, I’m going a little bit out of order (today really ought to be about overall recruitment planning)!
I think the #1 thing that people about to hire want to know is … where to look. Where do you post your job opening to get the most bang for your buck?
The answer is simple: where your future employee looks for jobs.
When I was a teenager and in my early 20′s, I looked for jobs in my local paper’s classifieds. That was where nearly everyone spent time looking for jobs at the time. However, very few people look to the printed newspaper for jobs now. Times and technology have changed!
You can spend a whole lot of money advertising online, potentially with dismal results. Speaking from experience, spending quite a bit of money with a huge pile of disappointing resumes as a result will make you very sad.
Although you cannot recruit for a specific age, race, gender, ethnicity, etc. (more on that down the road), college job boards can be a great source for resumes. Particularly when I need a very part time position, very very entry level, and I can be very flexible with the work schedule. In fact, community colleges are a fantastic resource – just check with your local college’s career center!
Good morning. Blue + Natural Tones to start off this Monday morning for you.
Great vintage shop to peruse for everything from hankies and hairpins to steampunk goggles and survival kits: 5 Gardenias. Love the mix from this shop! I mean where else can you find all this in one spot….
Visit 5 Gardenias to view more vintage finds.
These screen-printed bird goodies from Eden make me think of my mother-in-law, who truly has a passion for birds. I am not as fond of birds (I do like them though, don’t get me wrong) as she, but that portly little owl on the right is making me feel all warm inside. So cute.
Friday’s Favorites. I especially adore this…

It’s about time for a road trip around here. I have been dying to go on another ever since Jeff introduced me to Where’s Walter?. But he can’t pull himself away from work right now. Its much easier for me since I can work anywhere….
But anyway, wouldn’t you love to travel the country in one of these campers from Jenni Adkins Horne? They are so festive, it makes me want to take a peek inside.
Where would you like to go in Jenni’s camper?
