The State of CSS 2021
One for the tech recruiters - or anyone who appreciates a great interactive experience. Built by front-end engineers, this is a report on how CSS is used in 2021. We won’t get close to this for What Do Recruiters Want? but it’s the inspiration ;-). Also might be useful for tech assessment.

Year In Search 2021
Year In Search 2021
The world (or rather, the ‘Google using’ world), searched ‘How to Start A Business’ more than ‘How to Get A Job’ in 2021, a search trend which correlates with record breaking new business formation in both the US and UK this year. Every one one of these new solopreneurs is one less (likely skilled, experienced) candidate in the market.

Chief of Recruiting and Accessions
This looks like too much of a unique job role not to highlight here - Chief of Recruiting for the United States Space Force. It’s a somewhat sombre advert for what sounds like an amazing opportunity - maybe copy writing is the first thing the successful candidate needs to get right? Someone here should go for this.

HR Conferences in 2022
Super useful US centred list from our buddies Ongig. Two reasons why this is useful - firstly, you might want to attend a few of these conferences and secondly, marketers out there might want to synch content plans around big industry events to get maximum impact for your work. btw: for fans of the Big List - not sure whether I am going update this as a live only list or go for online+. Need to think about it some more.

EU Rules for Platform Work
Excellent thread on EU draft proposals for the regulation of digital platforms. Does the hard work of crunching through the policy document to highlight the key suggestions; OP has a pretty much orthodox view of gig work - that it is inherently exploitative - but don’t let that put you off. Techcrunch has a great review here, and if you fancy it, the EU Draft itself is here

"Harvard is nixing the ACTs & SATs through 2026 and when you look at these charts it's pretty easy to understand why.… "
Are standardised tests ever fair? We know that if we have a universal method of assessment, we will have advantage some / disadvantage others, a situation often revealed in workforce diversity. And yet, what can we practically replace it with? Harvard are back to individual judgement calls it seems. Interesting thread, challenging condundrum.

How You Speak Up at Work Can Affect Whether You're Picked For a Team
How You Speak Up at Work Can Affect Whether You're Picked For a Team
The more we learn about ourselves, the less confident we should in our ability to make the right decisions. Let’s learn anyway about ‘the challenging voice’ vs ‘the supportive voice’. When selecting for team, conflict minimisation is the top priority, which is not always the same as selecting best for task completion.

How to Ask Useful Questions
Did you know that asking questions is a skill? We don’t train it and some of us unfortunately never get good at it. Hence posts like this are gold - practical explanation and illustration on how to ask questions, in what contexts, in order to achieve what results. Read along with previous post on how your speak up at work - it’s a good combo

End notes
I’m still in London and…got to be honest, second guessing my decision to visit family this Christmas, especially with the now characteristic lack of competence from political leaders in the UK in terms of pandemic management. Might just buy myself a huge turkey and eat it by myself this week - what do you reckon? Anyone got any turkey recipes, DM me on twitter or Instagram or TikTok….
Have a great week - and - Merry Christmas - everybody
