Commute preferences change in metro areas as Edge Cities come online and continue to grow. With all the competition for Amazon's second headquarters (dubbed HQ2) and with Atlanta ( home of Kinetix, the company I own part of ) being in the mix, I thought I'd share one of my favorite books of all time and give you a Capitalist definition while we are at it. Edge City is the term.

Holding either a PHR or SPHR will boost salaries for HR professionals by more than $20,000, across various metro markets in the US. We''ve talked a lot in this space about value of the SPHR and PHR for today''s HR professional. Is it worth doing? I''ve always taken the stance that it''s a checkbox - good to do and ultimately will pay off, but it''s always been hard to quantify. .

Many would tell you that the growth is a function of multiple factors - including a centralized metropolitan government that generally allows the metro to work together ( see more about the government setup here ), a unique cultural pull with origins in country music (expanding beyond that taste, but still the flagship) and an emerging hipster dufus vibe ITP (inside the perimeter).

With more than 500 active bloggers in the Oklahoma City and Tulsa Metro areas, I believe that by all working together will can help one another instead of singling out community members who serve content generators and community influencers. Some of you may know that I am the PR/Social Media Director for the Oklahoma State HR Council also known as OKHR. I’m also HR blogger here at Blogging4Jobs.

In researching my plan of attack for the annual conference this year, I learned that much of the DC metro is under construction, which means long delays and weird schedules. My husband, who actually works in the DC metro and travels from our home in Oklahoma, recommends that you take Uber versus the metro or bus. It’s that time of year again, when HR and recruiting practitioners travel from far and wide to attend the annual SHRM conference.

I think this is largely a NYC metro thing, but I could be wrong. I thought maybe in your expertise you could answer a question that has bugged me for years. I hear the phrase “nine to five job” or “working nine to five” all the time. I see it on the internet and hear it in movies and on TV. Dolly Pardon even wrote a song about it. But I have never in my life known anyone to work those hours. Everyone with a standard Monday through Friday job works eight to five, not nine to five. (Or

For an employer point-of-view, I spoke with Peter Xenakis of Fuoco Technology, who provides IT expertise in the Long Island and NY-metro region. By Pedram Tabibi. Imagine landing a job interview. How do you prepare yourself? You might read about the company, prep for questions, bring your résumé and arrive on time. Then, the interviewer begins by asking for the username and password of all your social media accounts. Surprised? Don’t be.

I enjoy watching the girls swarm over Greyson on Twitter who until last year was a regular kid from the Oklahoma City Metro. Arguably Lady Gaga is the celebrity queen of social media. With more than 11 million Twitter followers and over 37 million Facebook Likes, she is one of the most celebrated and engaged celebrities on social media. Her t witpic this Sunday had over 24,000 views in just a few hours.
