The Talent Magnet salutes the work of The Joe Torre Safe at Home Foundation....






When seeking out a charitable organization to support, I was introduced several years ago to The Joe Torre Safe at Home Foundation!

This organization has a fantastic mission...to put an end to Domestic Violence! They are spreading the word through various educational programs and by providing a SAFE environment for children who may be experiencing Domestic Violence to come to!

To learn more about this wonderful organization and how you can assist them, I encourage all to visit http://www.joetorre.org


For me this organization provides a way for me to contribute to a GREAT cause and...it does not hurt that the foundation was developed by NEW YORK YANKEE MANAGER, JOE TORRE AND HIS WIFE!!!


The pictures I am sharing are from their most recent Gala that was held on November 10th at Pier 60 at Chelse Piers...it was truly a night to remember!!!!

Conversely, there is opportunity to develop a social media connection into a me

DO YOU THINK THE RECESSION IS OVER?

So...I guess we can all breathe a sigh of relief...according to the "experts"; we are coming out of the recession! Economists and leaders of industry are appearing on all types of news programs, websites and publications - declaring the end of this economic struggle. Apparently, some of the banks the government gave billions to - are beginning to show signs of stabilizing. In addition, "PRODUCTION" numbers look to be on the rise. However...UNEMPLOYMENT remains HIGH...and NEW CLAIMS are continuing to increase. The nearly 14 month period of DOWNSIZING, LAY-OFFS, RESTRUCTURING has resulted in the WORST JOB MARKET IN NEARLY 30 years! Yes...it does appear that the FIRING has slowed considerably. Unfortunately, companies have not yet begun to HIRE at a rate that will put even the slightest dent in joblessness. For the past year; I have received approximately 200 resumes/day from candidates that are out of work. The jobs that were eliminated were NOT specific to a particu
