<p>Hello all,</p>
<p>This is my first day in your community so I'm looking forward to getting to know you better. </p>
<p>I came here to see if I can pick someone's brain on how they got up to speed in the technology niche.

<p>Hello all,</p>
<p>This is my first day in your community so I'm looking forward to getting to know you better. </p>
<p>I came here to see if I can pick someone's brain on how they got up to speed in the technology niche. I spent far too many years in Investment industry sales and marketing so I'm looking for a new uptick market. I love strategy and technology so I'm claiming my space in business intelligence. However, I'm going to admit to being a little intimidated by jargon. Any tips?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!<br/>Gail</p>

Harmony is elusive in our lives. We strive to <i>bring it and keep it</i> but sometimes the melody strays and we become lost in the spiral of trailing notes and bitter chords. Keeping all aspects of our lives in tune is difficult to master as we are bombarded with the needs of those around us. <i>Work and life</i> can take its toll on us and those we get the opportunity to love. Discord and unhappiness ring through more often than not.<br></br>

It is why job boards are so…

Harmony is elusive in our lives. We strive to <i>bring it and keep it</i> but sometimes the melody strays and we become lost in the spiral of trailing notes and bitter chords. Keeping all aspects of our lives in tune is difficult to master as we are bombarded with the needs of those around us. <i>Work and life</i> can take its toll on us and those we get the opportunity to love. Discord and unhappiness ring through more often than not.<br/>
<br/>
It is why job boards are so prolific <i>(yes, they are alive and well!)</i> It is why divorce rates are so high. It is why we know so many different types of depression. It is why Nancy Kerrigan's father and Marvin Gaye are dead. It is why self-help books line the shelves of book stores and homes. It is another reason why the economy has been so devastating - the lack of harmony, the falling down of hope and the greed that has shaken corporations, countries, and people.<br/>
<br/>
There was a <a href="http://www.recruitingblogs.com/forum/topics/will-the-successful-generalist">discussion</a> yesterday by the AMAZING <a href="http://www.recruitingblogs.com/profile/SandraMcCartt">Sandra McCartt</a> that revealed the sexiness of being a Generalist, and I do mean sexy and successful. Confidence exudes it, it is attractive and the best calling card there is. The generalist versus the niche recruiter has been a long-time argument/discussion here on RBC. It is a healthy debate and needs to be heard often. Each of us gets settled into a way of thinking and living that can be stale and uninspiring. The stale leads to... <i>bum, bum.., bum....</i> unhappiness.<br/>
<br/>
I think the trap we set for ourselves is when we fail to see the whole picture. <a href="http://www.recruitingblogs.com/profile/JoshuaLetourneau">Josh Letourneau</a> <i>always</i> states a compelling argument that is respectful and, often times, opens my eyes. Open-mindedness, a fresh perspective, an opposing opinion are all necessary in order for growth and to move up a level. <i>Without this growth,</i> a stalemate occurs. Without development, sameness abounds. Without moving onward and upward, our tires spin and mud just gets flung everywhere.<br/>
<br/>
The thing that people often forget about harmony is that it is the differences in the sound that make the song so beautiful. The clash, the opposing ideas bring people together, closer than if we were identical, same thoughts, same goals, same desires. The ying and the yang bring balance, color. Allow for it, <i>don't tune it out.</i> For when you do, you will become <i>out of tune.</i> <b>And out of harmony.</b><br/>

I am struggling with when I should turn away other searches outside of the niche I am creating. I have a niche in mind, but I am not certain it is the best niche to pursue right now.<br />
Has anybody else gone through the process of creating a niche? If so, do you mind sharing HOW and WHEN you did it? Much appreciated! - David

<br />
PHILADELPHIA — January 14, 2009 — <a href="http://www.beyond.com">Beyond.com, Inc</a>., the world’s largest network of niche career communities, announced today that it is offering <a href="http://www.beyond.com/freejobposting">one free job posting</a> to each employer across the nation through February 28, 2009 in an effort to promote business growth and help stimulate the economy in the New Year.<br />
<br />
As a result of the weakened U.S. economy and high unemployment rate, the number of qualified candidates available in the job market has increased dramatically, creating unique hiring opportunities for employers. In December 2008, the Bureau of Labor Statistics announced that the national unemployment rate has hit a record high of 7.2 percent and nearly 2.6 million people have lost their jobs over the past year. The economic recession has created one of the most talented pools of candidates in years, consisting of a greater number of highly educated and experienced professionals than typically available under normal economic conditions.<br />
<br />
Beyond.com’s free job posting offer allows employers to take advantage of the opportunity to attract high quality talent and add depth to their employee base by leveraging the power of targeted, niche recruitment. Employers can reduce one component of hiring costs and engage with seasoned talent who will position their company for future growth. The ultimate goal is to foster new opportunities and revitalize the economy in 2009.<br />
<br />
“In tough economic times, it’s not all about downsizing,” said Rich Milgram, CEO of Beyond.com. “Businesses should take a close look at all aspects of their business and take advantage of opportunities that present themselves and provide for long-term gains. By offering a free job posting, we are making it easier for employers to find and acquire quality talent, build a stronger business and play a vital role in stimulating the economy.”<br />
<br />
Beyond.com offers a one-of-a-kind recruitment solution to employers. By posting a position to Beyond.com, employers can instantly reach millions of candidates across thousands of relevant sites within the Beyond.com network.

We all know the drill, specialize and capitalize.....in the launch of Keenhire, I am looking at doing both.<br />

Keenhire is a consulting firm that focuses on talent selection. (saas targeted selection interviewing tool, assessments, selection training)<br />

It has been said to me more than once, that while selection is an emerging industry the ideal way to bring Keen's methodology to market is to bundle it inside a high level recruiting solution.<br />

<br />
It has been said to me more than once, that while selection is an emerging industry the ideal way to bring Keen's methodology to market is to bundle it inside a high level recruiting solution.<br />
<br />
I thought I would sell it to the 3rd party recruiting population, however my instinct and research tells me the market is not 100% ready for this solution...just yet.<br />
<br />
So here is my question, I am looking at bringing my 'shtuff' to market in 1 of 3 niches and given recruiting blogs has some of the most connected people on the planet reading it, I thought I'd do an industry survey.<br />
<br />
Where do you feel I could make the biggest impact, the fastest?<br />
<br />
1) Talent Management professionals - sourcers, recruiters, operations, org dev, etc. - placing both on the corp side and on the 3rd party side in high tech, emerging tech, high touch 'hot bed' industries (I could place, train and sell them the products/services they need to get more people like themselves)<br />
<br />
2)Emerging, Middle & Sr. Management - Cross Functional Business Unit Leaders -Operations, Supply Chain, Engineering, Client Services, etc. in high tech, emerging tech, high touch 'hot bed' industries<br />
<br />
3) Sales, Sales Engineers, Sales Management in high tech, emerging tech, high touch 'hot bed' industries<br />
<br />
thanks in advance, Margo
