Posted by SmartBrief Monster SHRM Interviews
Monster.com and SmartBrief present the #SHRM 2010 interview series from San Diego.
Eric Winegardner is the VP of Client Adoption for Monster.com. We turned the tables on Eric and put him in the director’s chair to conduct a 2-part interview with Gen Y HR pro, Ben Eubanks of UpStartHR.
In part one, Ben provides feedback on his first-ever SHRM event including:
- Impressions from a Gen Y perspective
- Biggest takeaways of information over the 4-days of SHRM
- A raw review of the Hall and Oates concert

“The Quietest Guy You’ll Ever Meet” (Source: UpstartHR)
I had the opportunity to sit down with Eric Winegardner from Monster during the Monster/Smartbrief on Workforce video series. If you’ve never met me in real life, let me just say this: I’m shy. I’m quiet. I don’t really talk a heck of a lot.
That might surprise you, but it’s true. It takes some people a while to realize it, but I really do know and understand that you learn more by listening than by talking.

Eric mentioned redefining the value of a SHRM membership. I’m definitely on that. We talked about my passion being something that attracts others. I have more than enough to share. Eric touched on music selections at SHRM conferences (which should be a universally acceptable topic!), and my brilliant response was what? “I don’t listen to music.” It’s true, but I should have winged it with something ultra-cool.
