Reading this blog emphasized one of the most important lessons a role model taught at the beginning of my career "Never look down on any candidate or client no matter how low your opinion of them(at that point) is" and it has helped. Candidates who were poor fits for a particular job turned out to be good sources of Information for other vacancies! I could go on and on about how I have thanked God for not writing someone off in the first instance. Good job Rayanne!<br />

"Now we are probably closer to their key demographic, but we will not go there, and neither will our friends, or anyone else we tell this story to"<br />
<br />
I guess that explains why some recruiters wonder why certain choice candidates or clients would have nothing to do with them (-_-)<br />

This post strikes a chord with me on a couple of levels. My kids, albeit younger, get really excited when giving something, although they do struggle to keep the fact they have chosen something quiet. That said the focus is still on where the next present is coming from, even now it being 3 days after Christmas :)<br/>

The second part takes me back to my days as a new professional (2-3 years into my career). You remember the times, here I was in a relationship, we were both earning money after years of borderline poverty going through university, out for dinner with 3 other couples in basically the same situation. We went out for dinner, as was the case when there was 2 incomes and little responsibilities. At this restaurant, no one wanted to look at us, serve us.. nothing. We obviously weren't their key demographic. I remember the guy taking our order, he literally didn't even look in our direction as we were giving it.. I kid you not. The restaurant wasn't that big, I thought we were pretty hard to miss, but miss us they did. Quite possibly in the top 10 worst dining experiences we have had EVER. Now we are probably closer to their key demographic, but we will not go there, and neither will our friends, or anyone else we tell this story to.</div>
