One Speaker and Exhibitor's Impression of OnRec / Kennedy Information 2009 Fall Conference
I had the good fortune of attending the OnRec / Kennedy Information recruiting conference in Chicago this week. I was both a panelist on a session about how employers can use mobile marketing for recruiting and CollegeRecruiter.com had a booth in the exhibit room.

Tzedakah, however, literally means righteousness. In other words, tzedakah means doing the right thing.
