ATLANTA, GA - Lifehack's year-end racap today features a fine post called "10 Steps to Better Research." Among the recruitment research tips I like are ...
Carry an idea book. As you start really getting into your research project, your mind will start churning through what you’re reading, even when you’re not consciously working on it. If you’re like me, you’ll be struck by sudden revelations at the least convenient times — in the bathroom, in the shower, at the supermarket, or while getting ready for bed.
Keep a small notebook and a pen with you everywhere (well, maybe not in the shower — although I do keep dry erase markers by the sink so I can write down quick thoughts on the bathroom mirror when I get out of the shower); jot down notes whenever an idea crosses your mind, and transfer these notes into your research log (or software, or whatever) as soon as you can.
This is a great idea for recruitment researchers. See the entire post right here.
