    How can we collaborate?

    We have an unlimited opportunity to place professionals of all types in ex-patriot assignments in Saudi Arabia. As you may know, there are about 6 million ex-patriots running the country at the operational level, and they “need everything.” They have Midas’s problem, which is they must invest about US$1 billion every week between now and 2020. This represents a monumental opportunity for people “in the know” to put aside a “nest egg” and gain experience at a higher level than one can achieve with similar qualifications and experience in the USA, Europe or Japan.

    Best regards, Skip Conover

    Hi Skip,

    That is an exciting opportunity. I would love to refer qualified candidates to you. Is there a profile or site that I could add to my website to refer to you? I'm open to other collaborative ideas as well. Let's connect and talk.

    Best regards, Karen Swim

    Hi Karen
    I am interested in you creative resume structure.
    I am in a similar area of course but I don't write resumes however I am very tired of seeing the same old stuff that doesn't really reflect the individuality of the candidate.
    So what do you do that's different?

  • Christian Fauchald

    I know I can definitely use you to polish up some of my C-level candidates. They tend to get a bit tarnished!
  • Amanda Papp

    Thanks Karen! I'm so glad we are now connected! Take care
  • Graham Nicholls

    Thanks Karen, it's a little bit of home I guess, there are so many from your part of the world, I thought I needed to show a little of my part of the world, glad you like the change!!

  • Graham Nicholls

    HI Karen
    Thankyou for your information on Resume structure. I tend to use some of the same techniques although the real challenge is getting the personality of the person into the resume structure and content. I think it is the best way. I worked with a client on a business profile yesterday, I found this a lot easier to get the personality into! She is delighted, we are now waiting for the companies response to see if they were delighted!! I would love to see a sample of what you do, I know that we can use more pages here so I am interested in how you can condense everything into the formats I have seen from the USA.
    email me via my website if you would, then I don't get my email harvested by to many others. Go to the following address: http://www.careerbridge.com.au/contact-us.html
  • Graham Nicholls

    Hi Karen
    You are a bundle of great information, I will look it up.

  • Christian Fauchald

    Ahh, yes. Reminds me of the old adage about men and wine:

    They both begin as grapes... and it's up to women to stomp the **** out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.
  • Christian Fauchald

    I'd reply to that, but... they'd probably kick us out of here.

    Back to work.

  • Heather Gardner

    KAREN! We meet again in another cyber place! I LOVE it! Looking forward to talking with you on Monday! Can you explain the tiny url thing to me as well?
    :-)
    Heather
  • Heather Gardner

    Thanks Karen! I think I need to learn both how and why. It looks cool, but I'm sure there is more to it.
    :-)
  • Karen Swim

    It's super easy! You go to tinyrul.com, copy and paste your url into the box. The shorter url makes it easier to paste into emails, twitter, etc. If using snitter for twitter there's a little icon on the right that snips the url in the same way. ;-)
  • Chris Limboo

    Thanks Karen....It also reminds of the long way of recruiting
