CHICAGO, IL -- (Marketwire) -- 01/25/13 -- Research from SilkRoad, a leading global provider of cloud-based social talent management software, reveals that HR professionals are rising to the challenge of a rapidly changing workforce by leveraging new technology in talent management. Released today, SilkRoad's "The State of Talent Management 2013" report surveyed 5,753 HR professionals in North America to reveal the top trends and opportunities in talent management, including wide adoption of cloud-based HRMS, at 46 percent. A copy of the full report can be found at the following link: http://www.silkroad.com/Resources/eBooks/research.html

"HR practitioners are more agile than ever before, adopting a new mindset and capabilities in the face of ever-evolving market forces and external events," said Flip Filipowski, Co-Chief Executive Officer at SilkRoad. "Just as 2012 brought wide-spread adoption of talent management technologies by HR professionals, 2013 is the year to break the silos that have long-prevented organizations from leveraging their talent as a strategic business asset."
Talent management is becoming even more "social" as a mobile-enabled, "virtual" workforce drives demand for cloud-based HR solutions.
- Employees reported using social media at work to "connect with co-workers" (49 percent) and "connect with customers" (44 percent).
- HR professionals reported using -- or anticipated they would use -- social media for "recruiting and hiring" (64 percent) and "learning and development" (54 percent).
The "cloud" is more than just a fad, but talent management remains siloed by partially-automated HRMS.
- While 20 percent of respondents reported having partially cloud-based HRMS, 26 percent reported having purely cloud-based HRMS. However, in-house HRMS are still the most prevalent at 35 percent.
- While the majority of respondents reported a partially-automated HRMS (56 percent); integrations were more likely to include "core" HR functions like payroll systems (77 percent) and benefits (63 percent), than strategic functions like performance (36 percent), onboarding (24 percent) and learning (20 percent).
Compliance reporting for learning is the "Achilles heel" of most organizations.
- Less than half (47 percent) of organizations described themselves as audit-ready, while 23 percent felt that preparation for a learning compliance audit could take up to three weeks. Nine percent said the audit process "made them want to quit."
- While 42 percent of organizations assign compliance training automatically, the majority (59 percent) are still assigning manually. Moreover, 29 percent said they use in-house developed learning management systems, while 27 percent used no learning management systems at all.
Half of organizations have yet to automate transition management.
- A full 50 percent of respondents had not yet automated transition management for employees.
- Of those that had, 44 percent reported using automated software for onboarding new employees, while less than one third reported using it to manage internal transitions.
Nearly half of organizations have explicit employee engagement programs, but a majority of those programs are still missing pieces.
- Only 21 percent of organizations conduct mid-year pulse surveys and 16 percent use social technology to measure engagement. Most still measure engagement using annual employee surveys (58 percent) or regularly scheduled "town hall meetings" (48 percent).
- While 54 percent of respondents saw "trust in management" as the top driver of employee engagement, most rated their C-Suite as either "committed" (34 percent) or "somewhat committed" (27 percent) to the cause.
The State of Talent Management 2013 report incorporated eight surveys on topics ranging from social media and technology, employee engagement, and beyond onboarding, to recruitment metrics, learning and compliance as well as HRMS. Surveys were conducted by SilkRoad from January 2012 through October 2012 using Web-based tools that were targeted toward talent management professionals. Of the 5,753 professional respondents, 45 percent worked at companies with more than 1,000 employees.

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) -- The Nevada Supreme Court has affirmed a lower court decision blocking a man from building a power-generating wind turbine on his residential property.
The court ruled Thursday that the turbine sought by Rick Sowers in Washoe Valley just south of Reno can be banned as a nuisance.
The Nevada Appeal reports (http://bit.ly/12vkaVB ) the court agreed the aesthetics of a turbine are not sufficient grounds to rule it as a nuisance.
But Justices Jim Hardesty, Kris Pickering and Nancy Saitta concluded a nuisance exists when the aesthetics are combined with other factors such as noise and a lowering of property values.
Ann and Karl Hall of the Forest Hills neighborhood sued to block construction, saying the turbine would obstruct their views and create constant noise and shadow flicker.

What Percentage Of People Have Genital Herpes
Here's a taste of what TheBody.com has to offer on this topic:
Get the Facts
Herpes Simplex (Cold Sores and Genital Herpes)What Is Herpes? Herpes simplex refers to a group of viruses that infect humans. Like herpes zoster (shingles, see Fact Sheet 509 ), herpes simplex causes painful skin eruptions. Itching and tingling are usually the first signs, followed by a blister that breaks open. The infection stays dormant in nerve cells. This is called "latency." However, it can become active again with no warning. Herpes can be active without symptoms or visible signs....

What do I find meaningful? What do you find meaningful? What is the definition of meaningful to you?
Is meaningful a moment of happiness that may last for a couple laps, and end up crash burning as it couldn't squeeze through the gap-
Do meaningful things consist of joy and pains, struggle and strains as the outcomes leave us confused…I thought that meant something, but yet it didn't, or did it, I really don't know- Chaotic flows of information, quiet as kept, keeps me amused-
Good experiences= meaningful…Bad experiences= meaningful…Is there a lesson learned, is there an example given…Or simply just instances that occur with nothing to gain to enhance our brains.
Does life dictate what is and what's not meaningful, maybe man's carnal society that endeavors to rule all things, control all aspects of mankind, despite the supposed freedom of choice. Why can't we hear your voice? Why you say, because voice breaks through oppression, enabling "you" to declare what is meaningful to you in your life…
As for me…The things that are, or can be eternal, meaning forever. Like love caring relationships, through the storms and tornado whips, not those Kodak developed clips that last as long as movie trailer snips.
But those pieces of rare artwork embedded on this life of canvas, spread out to every corner and crevice, consuming my entire atmosphere as I toast to these memorial events in indulgent sips.
Realizing who I am, where I came from, where I am now, how I got here, who helped me along the way, what did it take to clear the fogginess of my mind, did I learn something along the way, where am I going next? Walking in my destiny. That's what I find meaningful in My Life…

In all the time I've used computers I've always been making, building and tinkering with stuff. Way back with an Acorn Electron and later a BBC Micro I'd be coding stuff, you know, just for fun. At university I'd be doing my coursework and then all sorts of other, often art based computer projects. At the agency before Flickr I'd be getting up at 5am to work on personal project before grabbing the train to work. While in San Francisco evenings (once the kids were in bed) would be either playing games, going out or hacking around with some new thing. At the Guardian it was the same, work during the day and then hack around with stuff, often on the Guardian API, for fun in the evening and you know, sometimes not.
And then, suddenly it stopped. Opening up the laptop in the evening to throw together two lines of code became too much. The words for a blog post would go racing through my head all day, but the effort needed to sit down that night to write them out was mentally exhausting. This wasn't just an irritation, it was down right infuriating, I could see myself missing out on interesting things.
Rev Dan Catt: Leaving the Guardian, creativity vs mild depression, the quantified self and running
I decided not to blog this post when I came across it a few weeks ago out of a general desire to start keeping things a bit more upbeat around here, but I've found myself thinking about it and mentioning it to people a lot since then so I think it's worth entering into my permanent record (aka Tumblr).
I relate pretty powerfully to the phenomenon Dan Catt's is describing here—in fact, I've been there myself a number of times over the years as a result of demoralizing work situations. Like Catt, though, I think the onset has always been so gradual that I've been surprisingly slow in each case to recognize my puzzling loss of creative mojo and general excitement about life as a symptom job-related depression, not an inescapable sign of my personal decline. Catt's observation that social web output is a reliable way of gauging this phenomenon also squares very much with my experience—if you graphed my Twitter activity over time, you could probably pinpoint the moments where I left jobs.

Zoe Smith: I want to get some massive personal bests
Zoe Smith will be one of the youngest British competitors at the London Olympics, but don't think for a moment that the 17-year-old weightlifter doesn't know exactly what she wants from the Games.
Speaking to MSN Sport at the Europa Gym in Erith, Kent, Smith declared: "I want to get some massive personal bests. I want to get six out of six lifts - all three snatches and all three clean-and-jerks. If I can do the best that I can do, I won't be disappointed".
John Giles-PA Wire
Smith announced herself at the 2010 Commonwealth Games where, aged 16, she claimed bronze in the 58kg class to become the first ever English woman to win a weightlifting medal. It was her first senior competition.
Since that initial success, Zoe's journey to London 2012 has been something of a rollercoaster ride. She's overcome funding issues, relocation to the GB high performance programme in Leeds, injury and scrutiny over which weight class she should compete.
"I've had a few ups and downs over the last couple of years leading up to the Games", she explains. "I think the hardest thing was being injured last summer. It put me out of training completely and I missed the European Youth Championships and European Junior Championships. It looks like I would have medalled at both so it's a shame. But it's also a learning curve and I'm going to come back stronger".
Asked what spectators can expect from their first taste of live weightlifting at the London Games, Smith is effusive about her sport: "It's a really exciting event. When you get down to the top three competitors in a group battling it out, it's great to watch. It's real 'edge-of your seat' stuff. It's quite an explosive sport. You need leg power. And you have to be fast".
Rebecca Naden-PA Wire
Smith was introduced to weightlifting when she was 12 and she views herself as something of a natural. "I used to be a gymnast which was quite a good starting point for weightlifting," she explains. "I was flexible and quite strong from lifting my own body weight. You need that flexibility to get under the bar. My body shape and type is naturally suited to the sport".
Even the glare of Olympic competition holds no fear for Zoe: "I enjoy competing. It was something I naturally took to. I'm a competitive person and I'm good under pressure".
Don't be surprised if this Olympian exceeds her own lofty expectations at the London Games.

An early morning shooting in the Smithfield community Saturday left a Birmingham man dead and sent another man to the hospital with serious injuries, police said.
According to Sgt. Johnny Williams, officers responded to a report of a traffic accident at 903 6th Avenue South around 5:20 a.m. and arrived to find two men suffering from gunshot wounds inside a wrecked vehicle. Birmingham fire and rescue were called to the scene, where they pronounced 31-year-old William Daniels deceased before transporting the other victim to UAB Hospital.
After initial reports of the shooting occurring in Midfield, investigators later determined that the incident happened at 15 Graymont Avenue North.
No arrests have been made in the case and police are asking anyone with information to contact the Birmingham Police Department at 205-254-1764 or Crime Stoppers at 205-254-7777.

Law enforcement officials in Greenwood County have recently been going from one violent crime scene to another.
In the past 30 days, there have been nine homicide cases in Greenwood, according to Coroner Sonny Cox.
"Some people have been terrified, locking their doors and staying at home," says anti-violence activist Trish Turner.
The most notable case happened on Oct. 29 at a home on Callison Highway.
Deputies say Bryan E. Sweatt, 27, called 911 dispatchers threatening suicide.
When deputies arrived at the home, they discovered his body along with the body of his girlfriend Chandra Marie Fields, 26; her parents Richard Allen Fields, 51; Melissa Maroney Fields, 49; and his girlfriend's nephews Tariq Kenyon Robinson, 11; William Asa Robinson, 9.
The crime not only shocked law enforcement, but residents were also shaken by the tragedy.
"I think it is a wake-up call for everyone."
The rise in violence has Turner wanting to fight back.
She is currently working to bring Upstate religious leaders and anti-crime activists to the place she calls home.
Turner believes the reason for the surge in the homicide rate is due to lack of community support within neighborhoods.
25-year-old Travis Greene who founded the nonprofit "Lifting Hearts Foundation" also believes there is a disconnect amongst locals.
"A lot of them are just shocked and a lot of them have gotten used to it which is really sad," Greene said.
Greene is planning what he calls a "No More Violence Benefit Dinner" next month to raise awareness about the deadly crimes.
So far this year, the coroner's office has responded to 16 homicides in the city, county and surrounding area.
That number is up from nine homicides in 2012 and eight homicides in 2011.
"The biggest key to solving the issue is going to be getting everyone on the same accord," says Greene.
While investigators will continue to look for motives in the recent slayings, both Greene and Turner hope to find solutions.Related Stories:Man Arrested After 2 Women Were Killed At Greenwood Extended Stay Motel4 Adults, 2 Children Killed In Greenwood Co.

Vivek Kundra officially has been named the federal government's CIO by President Barack Obama, reports NetworkWorld.
As CIO, Kundra will have the momentous task of overseeing a $71 billion information technology budget and ensuring IT interoperability between government departments. According to InfoWorld, Kundra says he will look into how the government can improve its technology investments and make more information available to citizens through the Internet. As for the latter goal, Kundra said a Web site called data.gov would soon be launched that would serve as a public data feed.
Kundra also is interested in moving the government away from big IT contracts, notes Computerworld. He's interested in cloud-based services, and says Facebook could serve as a good model for information sharing.
There's no doubt Kundra has the background for the job. As Washington, D.C.'s CTO, TheStreet.com reports that he was responsible for technology operations across 86 D.C. agencies. Before that, Kundra served as assistant secretary of commerce and technology for the Commonwealth of Virginia. He has experience in the private sector, as well. He was vice president of marketing for Evincible Software and CEO of Creostar.

gender/agenda: elections
I'm a bit behind on the blogging. There have been some elections lately. Not those elections! The Canadian municipal elections! Specifically, Toronto. I will spare you my rant about the whole thing (others have done it better, I'm concerned about how Scarborough is being treated, and this is the IFLS blog, so…) I see that Toronto now has 33% women on council. This is grounds for celebration, and I'm not being sarcastic. Did you know that:
Kristyn Wong-Tam is one of the few women who ran on a feminist platform. She's also the only new visible minority to get elected – but that's fodder for a whole other column.
Well. Now that IS news (both bits are news, and i'm waiting for that other column….) If your career plans have been changed by reading that first line (from Catherine Porter in the Star, click through for her interesting piece to see more about the women's "breakthrough" with Sarah Doucette, stalwart Pam McConnell, Mary Fragedakis and Ana Bailão – and see how Wong-Tam plans to do gender analysis at Metro Hall and connect with Rob Ford), maybe you want to check out Equal Voice. This organization wants to promote the election of more women at all levels of government and to that end. Go to their online "Getting to the Gate" course (you have to register) and learn how to get ready to run. Or get ready to tell that smart, aware and active friend of yours that she should run.
Equal Voice and another Canadian organization, Canadian Women's Voters Congress aren't like Emily's List, the American organization dedicated to electing Female, pro choice, Democrats. They are non partisan, and open to women of all backgrounds and presumably all political positions.*
With that in mind, and for those of you thinking about those midterms (not exams! elections) here's a link to Slate's DoubleX "So, How'd the Women Do" set of articles. Because it's always good to complicate the issue with a bit of "be careful what you wish for….."
On the new governor of S. Carolina, Nikki Haley. You know, immigrant, minority businesswoman subjected to a fair amount of racist and misogynistic crap during her campaign (click here for Ann Bartow at feministlawprofessors on the situation). Apparently she doesn't think being a minority or an immigrant is interesting, and upon reflection perhaps it makes a certain amount of sense for her to stay away from those things given the context in which she's running. I still wouldn't vote for her. Says Slate's Hanna Rosin:
She may be anti-feminist, pro-life, and want to destroy any government-subsidized child care, but still, her victory has symbolic meaning for women ….
But what does it symbolize? And is it spreading north?
My fear fueled frustration is totally unfair – Hanna Rosin did write about what it symbolizes, here, here and here. I really, really could have done without the Sex and the City explanation for which "mama grizzlies" won/lost [keep lots of clothes on if you want to win! I'm talking to you, woman in her 20's with no idea that politics are in her future!] I prefered Amanda Marcotte's take on those grizzlies:
This contradiction exposed why it's so critical to the fundamentalist worldview that women stay at home and abandon ambition. In this world, women are supposed to be the light, the caretakers, the homemakers, those who smooth feathers and wipe brows. Aggression, meanness, ambition, and even lustiness are considered more masculine traits, even by the public at large. As Dave Weigel reports, the Republicans are beginning to feel that Sharron Angle, at least, spent too much time in the public eye. The longer the public stares at a Mama Grizzly, the more painful the contradiction between her ideals of femininity and her actual behavior.
Here's something worth taking away about those American elections:
As American University professor Jennifer Lawless points out on the XX Factor blog today, this was most decidedly not a historic year for women. In fact, it's the first time in 30 years that Americans have seen a net loss in the total number of women in political office. As Lawless explains, Democratic women lost a lot of seats, and Republican women—despite all the hype —did not gain enough seats to make up the difference. Hence, we have backslid in the year of the woman.
Well, you know. That "we" she's talking about – it's not Canadian. Right? Oh……Canada.
* If you are wondering where you can get information about your pro choice candidate is in Canada, try the Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada. In 2008 they produced a report card on MP's, updated October 15, 2010, here. Maybe they ramp this up during election campaigns? Although I'm not sad that it's not a major election issue….
My MP is Joe Volpe (Lib). He fills up my mailbox, and since I don't read his material because I have no intention of ever voting for him, I don't know whether he has been letting me know that
a. he is anti choice,
b. what he thinks about Dr. Morgentaler's order of Canada is a secret, and
c. he was absent for the vote on the Unborn Victims of Crime Bill. For those of you who just mentally heard a slamming on the brakes sound, this happened in 2008.

2- Activate the default WP theme (you can use one of "coming soon" WP plugins before that).
3- Update WP to the latest version if it's not already up to date.

- Met Krystal through my favorite dating site. Her pics don't do her justice, she's even hotter in person. Glasses. Killer body. Cute as a button. Delight! Shy and hesitant at first, and I wish she'd stayed that way. Today doesn't end well for her. We're supposed to go on a real date after her 'demo tape'. The last thing I would want is hurt the girl. Unfortunately her casting ends in tears during anal. She's on her monthly so vajayjay sex is out. I tell her the producers need to see something. I suggest anal. I try my "straight to the ass" approach - no lube. Ironically I actually get it in eventually, and she doesn't flinch, but her ass is so tight, I can't pump. So we try with lube. She's happy to give it a go again. I finally get my cock all the way in her ass - SUCCESS!, I think. A few pumps later she's in tears and says she can't do this audition anymore. She runs to the bathroom crying...and that's that. I turn off the cams and feel like shit. Not what I wanted. I debated even putting this video up. It's not what this site is about. Surprisingly, we did end up going on that date and she was really cool about everything. That's the only reason I'm even showing you this. Do not watch if you're...or just don't watch it.

ROME—Emilie, 9, was upset by what she saw on television about families in Pakistan who were living in tents after the devastating monsoon floods.
She asked her mother what had happened and learned that millions of people had lost their homes and were at risk of going hungry. So Emilie made up her mind to help them.
"I decided to sell lemonade and give the money to the World Food Programme so that they could use it to help people," said Emilie, who lives in Rome.
Her idea paid off. In a single day of selling lemonade to passersby, the enterprising nine-year-old made $200 to contribute to the food relief effort.
Convinced that she could do even more, Emilie went on to deliver an impassioned appeal at her grandmother's church, where parishioners donated another $500 to the cause.
By the end of her campaign, Emilie had raised over US $700 which she donated to WFP—enough to feed some 2,800 kids like her.
"Anyone can make a difference in the world," says Emilie. "It doesn't always have to be money. If everybody did a little, we could all do a lot."

Welcome to My Website
Dr. Aldrin Tenerife Sacristan
I created this website as my response to the commitment of my Alma Mater --- the Colegio de San Juan de Letran, Manila --- to be responsive to the needs of the 21st Century. As a fulltime faculty member of the Operations Management Area under the College of Business Administration and Accountancy, I opted to develop this website to cater to the needs of my students in Letran and in other school. Through this website, my students will be encouraged to engage in paperless transactions which is the present trend in the competitive world of business today, locally and internationally.
Paperless activities such as submission of reports and assignments via e-mail, answering online quizzes, and doing online researches. This web site will also encourage my students to have intellectual discussion with other students online about the current and hottest issues in politics, economics, business, and even life styles.

"Think different" (Apple tribute)
"I have known Joe Gordon-Levitt for going on 12 years. We first met in the summer of 2000 while doing a tiny movie called Manic, where we bonded over a mutual appreciation for Harry Nilsson and Nina Simone and I have been lucky enough to call him one of my dearest friends ever since. When we did 500 Days of Summer 8 years later, we spent every lunch hour dancing to Marvin Gaye in the hair and make up trailer; we had loads of fun. I hope to do a thousand more movies with him because he's simply the best."
I love these two.

"Apple to close down. Company "just so sick" of analysts." Story behind yesterday's announcements.
"Apple to close down. Company "just so sick" of analysts." Story behind yesterday's announcements.
As is typical of the media, the real story of Apple's financial results conference call yesterday was ignored by everyone except Revert to Saved's Craig Grannell. "We posted record quarterly revenue of $57.6 billion, and sold 51 million iPhones," Grannell quotes Tim Cook, saying he "angrily adding: "But we could have been responsible for every smartphone sale worldwide and made $200 billion in profit, and it still wouldn't have been enough for those analyst jerks." I didn't listen to the conference call but I have no doubt Grannell accurately reflected the reality of Apple's thoughts on analysts. http://reverttosaved.com/2014/01/28/apple-to-close-down-because-the-company-is-just-so-sick-of-analysts/

Not in My Back Yard!
Our global society is very concerned with implementing environmentally sensitive handling of products that can or will harm the Earth and it inhabitants. "Green" practice is now becoming a global business model, and yet we are reminded daily that it is hard to enforce unilaterally and the world is in a game of "catch up" with serious consequences for future generations if it doesn't. The need for environmental oversight is clear: Without awareness,education, regulation and monitoring, toxic waste streams will continue to grow.
In today's world it is unacceptable to continue the practice of dumping or illegally disposing of toxic and poisonous waste products. The automotive industry is one of the largest contributors to hazardous waste generation over the life of a given product. This lesson series is designed to provide awareness of the problem as it relates to the automotive industry and to show that the waste stream can be managed with green practices during and after the usable life of an automobile. Also, involvement in green practices can start in your own "back yard" or community.

TWC Warns Texans about Gift Card Email Scam
Texas Workforce Commission
July 31, 2012
1050 views
Post a comment
AUSTIN -- The Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) warned today that emails claiming to offer free gift cards "on behalf of Texas Workforce Commission" are not to be trusted. Such offers are not attributable to TWC, and anyone who receives such an email should delete it immediately. Responding to the email, or clicking on the included web link, may result in harmful malware being downloaded to the recipient's computer, TWC warned.
TWC has received reports of scam emails claiming to be sent on behalf of TWC stating the recipient has won a $1,000 gift card. The email instructed the recipient to visit a website called "rewards2012" to claim the gift card. However, if a recipient follows the link to the website, malware attempts to download to their computer.
This is a known "phishing" scam, and TWC reminds Texans never to click on links in an email from an unknown source. Phishers and scammers often will direct people to websites that look very similar to legitimate websites in order to obtain login credentials or personally identifiable information, such as social security numbers, dates of birth or mother's maiden names. Following these links may result in monetary or identity theft.
Texas residents also are reminded that TWC staff will never call or email to obtain personally identifiable information, perform home visits, or use text messages to contact them. Unemployment benefit recipients should only give personal information when filing for benefits online at ui.texasworkforce.org or when speaking to an unemployment benefit customer service representative on the Tele-Center phone filing system at 800-939-6631.

Here's one of the lowest prices I've ever seen on Pampers at Amazon! Head over and get them for $.125 per diaper, which will make them as much as a $.09 per diaper less than the Sam's Club price. (Plus they're shipped to your door!!)
Here's how:
- Sign up for free trial of Amazon Mom
- Add Pampers Baby Dry Size Economy Pack Plus to your cart (you'll need to select which size you need, pricing starts at $.13 per diaper for size 1)
- Choose "Subscribe and Save" at checkout Look in the right sidebar for the "Subscribe & Save" option. I usually choose to re-subscribe in six months, but you can immediately cancel subscribe & save once your order has shipped.
- Clip the $3 off coupon shown on the page underneath subscribe and save.
- At checkout, your total will be around $34-$36 for as many as 276 diapers, depending on size.
Need some wipes to go with those diapers? You can also stock up on Huggies Wipes for $.03 per wipe at Amazon right now!
- Thanks, PassionatePennyPincher!

Apprenticeships & traineeships
If you've just finished year 10, 11 or 12, you'll be thinking hard about where to go next. An apprenticeship offers on-the-job experience, mining training and formalised study all while getting paid to do it.
Our operations offer a variety of mining related apprenticeship programmes.
Apprenticeship opportunities in New South Wales
In New South Wales, up to 12 electrical and mechanical apprenticeships are made available each year to high school graduates and people who are committed to working in the trades industry. The four-year practical training programme is delivered in partnership with group training employer SKILLED.
Apprentices will get the opportunity to work at two of Rio Tinto Coal Australia's operations in the Hunter Valley - Mount Thorley Warkworth and Hunter Valley Operations - to gain on the job experience, as well as formalised training in their area of expertise, mining and safety.
The selection process begins in June each year and is advertised in local papers and in online recruitment services.
Visit www.skilled.com.au for more information or to apply.
