SFTA Goes Green With Leaders From Top S. Florida Companies
 
     Join us on Thursday, February 26th in Ft. Lauderdale as Technical leaders tell their stories in response to your questions on how to manage adoption of emerging technologies. "Green" has certainly become a major theme in the past year as energy costs roller coaster up and down along with the secondary affects these costs have on the products and services we use. Our culture has shifted as people and corporate responsibility focuses more and more on the impact we have on the environment.
 
     This program, moderated by Albert Maggio of Merrill Lynch, brings together various perspectives on Green technology.  Should your company "Go Green"?  This is one of the first "can't miss" events of 2009.  See you there!

 3rd Prize: R2 Fish Training School Kit
 
 
 
Teach an old fish new tricks

Picture it: Lassie returns to the house barking. "What is it girl? Timmy's fallen down the well?" And then everyone runs to get that little fool out. But it's too late. Goldie already saved Timmy's sorry butt. Because Goldie is the goldfish you trained with your R2 Fish Training School Kit - and fish lives in the well! Ok, so that was a little overdramatic, but when you put your fish though Fish School, you'll be amazed by the talent of your little scaly friend.

Take a sec and watch the video, we'll wait . . . done? No stunt fish or special effects were used; that was an actual fish trained using this kit. You get everything you need to teach your fish to play football, play soccer, limbo, weave, fetch, go through tubes, and more! And then you can quit your job and go on tour. It'll be just you, Twinkie the fish, and the open road. With the R2 Fish Training School Kit and a little perseverance, the world is your oyster . . . well, goldfish.

Internal Employee Trends In The Staffing Industry
 
     Growth in internal hiring at staffing firms has been gradually decelerating over the last several years, paralleling changes in industry growth, according to data from the Staffing Industry Benchmarking Consortium. Internal staffing wage growth also moderated over the same period.    Hiring boom moderating shows that growth in both employees per office and total employees peaked around the latter part of 2004 and has been steadily decelerating ever since.  This makes sense given decelerating industry expansion during the same period. Staffing Industry Benchmarking Consortium Robin Mee, founder and president of Mee Derby & Company, a staffing firm that recruits for staffing companies, said she has noticed increased number of layoffs in the industry in the past couple of months.
