    eLearning: Hype or Hip?
    Many times customers and potential customers ask me whether eLearning is just a passing fad. This is an excellent question that warrants some discussion.

    Resume Fraud - The Case for Background Checks
    If you employ staff to work for you, particularly for sensitive positions such as child minding or bookkeeping, you should conduct background checks. It is amazing the extent that some applicants go to with lies about their qualifications, skills and employment history, or even having a criminal record. The practice of ‘massaging’ your credentials on your resume may seem to be harmless and an accepted practice but the simple truth is that exaggeration, omission or fabrication of important details on a resume is fraud. Some untruths can be small and appear somewhat minor, but others can cripple you.Statistics show that as many as 1 in 3 resumes are fraudulent and that 82% of al
