Comment on: Blog Post 'Is there any responsibility to educate or enlighten your hiring managers?': rsation when HM demands 5 years of experience with a technology that's only existed for 3 years. I do believe experience matters, but strongly favor quality over quantity. I'd rather find someone that did something well 3 times than someone that did same for 30 years at a mediocre level. The problem with quantifying skills by time span is there is no distinction made between doing and doing right. Practice does not necessarily make perfect in all things. Even though I've only been on the internal corporate side, I don't understand people saying things like as a TPR you just take what client wants and find it no questions asked. That seems foolish on many levels. @Amber - good points. The college degree "requirement" seems to have loosened to "preference" over the years. I've been in many situations where the HM had unrealistic/unreasonable expectations. My approach is to ask questions about alternatives, must-haves, deal-breakers and offer suggestions about areas where compromise might make sense. For instance, one HM wanted a highly experienced person, but had a mid-level at best salary range. I told them how challenging it would be to find that, but looked anyway. After a few phone screens, went back and said everyone semi-decent is at least at (and wants) 50% higher pay rate. HM was shocked. I said do you want to expand budget or alter your experience level criteria. I know I can find people with sufficient experience at in that range. Though skeptical, they were at least open to seeing candidates with less experience. It worked out fine and a solid hire was made. @Al - thanks for the thoughtful comments. I agree, it is part of the job to be able to inquisitive, influential and insightful during the intake process with clients or HMs. Not doing that seems like an opportunity for a lot of wasted effort and misunderstanding. Also agree with establishing a connection with prospective candidates whether they fit current openings or not. So many internal and external recruiters fail to understand how the slightest sign or neglect can ruin the entire companies standing in that person's eyes. And, they won't hesitate to share their negative impressions and experiences. Thank-you ALL for taking the time to read and comment. I TRULY do appreciate the interactions. Yes.

Topic: Deep Impact: ry? Why should someone hire you? Why would someone come to work for you? Why should someone buy your product or your services? Why are you special? You should be ready with an answer, for your answer shows confidence in self and individual abilities. In a time like we are currently exposed, differentiation will be key. Having a special talent or skill set that drives clients or customers to your doorstep is a crucial element of success. The strategies set forth for your department or business must be aligned with your goals. And furthermore, the fundamentals of your strategy must be consistent. They must be unfailing and dependable. When thinking about what it is that makes you out of the ordinary, a stand-out in your field, are your differentiators sustainable? Will they be around next week, next year, in ten years? Strategic continuity, ongoing distinction, and enthusiasm for your career, customers, employees, ideas, and maneuvers will keep clients/customers coming back. Determine who your client/customer is. Taking care of their needs, anticipating their wants will drive fulfillment. Identify your resources. They can be many: as basic as a connected computer and as complex as knowledge that comes from years in a specific industry, something that cannot be taught in school. Once you have identified your resources, take a close look at their use. Is full advantage being taken? Can you honestly say that you use each resource and difference to their full potential? If not, study might be needed to outline how you can more completely use your resources (connections, talents, funds, employees, co-workers, networks, knowledge, etc.) The complexities of career success are numerous and sometimes, easily discounted. Never undervalue the basics that brought you to your industry to begin with. And never underestimate a winning ability to be flexible and change with the times, as necessary.
