Welcome to Craig Fisher's home page. Fishdogs.com provides tips for job seekers, hiring managers, recruiters, and business owners to better utilize social media and branding strategies to be more visible and marketable when opportunity wants to knock.

As Co-Founder of A-List Solutions, and a veteran sales leader in the staffing and recruiting industry, my goal is to help people market themselves better, and to help companies attract and hire talented people.

The Internet is a remarkable medium for doing just that. But most of us barely scratch the surface of it's potential.

Crafting a consistent and attractive message that can be easily searched for and found is the key. You will find helpful tips and great links about personal and career branding, employer branding, job hunting, career strategy, hiring, recruiting, social networking; and occasional updates about my interests and family in my blog.
