Topic: BIG Mistake!: milies. Of course, this isn't always the result, but I think the "hope" is always there, year in and year out. Hope for peace, not just on earth, but within our own homes. My fourteen-year old daughter discovered the joy of giving this year. Most of her gifts were home-made and she was so excited to share with those that she loved that she could barely contain herself. Much to my joy, she revealed that she cared much less about the gifts she was getting then she remembered from the past. I told her that that was part of growing up. She anxiously bestowed gifts upon her siblings and parents, hopeful that they would like what she had chosen or made for them. It is a beautiful thing to see this coming of age happen to one of your children. I, too, feel like my daughter: the joy of giving always supersedes the receiving. While shopping last week for one final gift, I asked a salesperson if she had a certain boot in a particular style. She was rather crass and short with me and said, "We are sold out." I asked if she could check at other stores, she shook her head, without even a second thought, said, "Those were very popular and are now sold out across Southern California." She didn't bother to make a phone call, check on a computer, or even bat an eye. I felt like Julia Roberts, in Pretty Woman, when she went shopping and was barely given the time of day. The store where I was shopping is known for its impeccable customer service and quality merchandise and I was prepared to pay for both. Additionally, the salespeople work on commission. I decided to quickly say goodbye to this rude sales person and begin again with someone else, within the same department. My needs were met and I purchased additional items because my stay and how I was treated was considerably improved. The previous saleslady watched on pitifully, as I paid for my multiple purchases and I felt like saying, "You work on commission, right? Big mistake. Big, Huge..." How often do we forge through a sale or pitch without really listening to the customer/client? As soon as I realized that the boot my daughter wanted was so popular, I knew she wouldn't want it and I was ready to explore other options, but I was viewed as a "dead sale" now. Big mistake. Offering professional insight and mindful listening leads to greater customer satisfaction and client relations. Relationship building is often forgotten when we fail to listen. The corners of the mind hold keys to successful business relations, but only if they meet in the middle. © by rayannethorn…; Added by Rayanne at 1:41am on December 28, 2009

Topic: Digging Into RecruitingBlogs.com v1.16: f its own. Here's the offensive nonsense: What do you do if a candidate starts asking questions?If you answer politely, you may find that there are follow-up questions and follow-ups to that…and the questions will get increasingly difficult to answer. Before you know it, you are asked a particularly tough question, and there is that sinking feeling once again. The typical advice is to answer, and take the reins back by asking a question, but that can be problematic. What if the candidate doesn’t give you the chance? Some won’t. They are professionals and they have questions that they want to have answered, and they’re going to get to all those questions. They also are testing you. They are sparring, but you as a recruiter are at a great disadvantage. They have domain knowledge; you don’t. As soon as you get into that sparring contest, prepare to lose. Don’t allow the frontal assault. Don’t allow them to take control. Keep them where you need them and keep the focus on them. You are the recruiter and you are the one who asks the questions. They are the one being tested, not you. You already have a job and they are the ones who need to prove themselves to you.(ERE) Compare that with Wozniak's recounting of the way Steve Jobs persuaded him to come to work for Apple: His life's dream was to work for Hewlett-Packard for life, and he got his start with a job before graduating from the University of California, Berkeley. "I got a job a Hewlett-Packard designing handheld calculators. I was very lucky. Because I could design, they interviewed and hired me. But I didn't have a degree," he said.He offered his computer designs to HP five times, but they never were interested. "I would not sell something for money without my employer getting a cut of it." "I was never going to leave HP for life. That's where I wanted to be forever," but Apple co-founder Steve Jobs launched a campaign that eventually persuaded Wozniak to strike off on his own. "Steve Jobs got all my friends and relatives to call me."(CNET) There's a question here. Is recruiting a manipulative sport where human beings are precisely "Capital"? Is the approach I'm criticizing actually right? or Is Recruiting a graceful endeavor where team building and consequence matter? I'm eager to get your perspective. For me, this approach smacks of old school, high leverage used car sales tactics. It's very useful if you've got bad merchandise you are trying to unload. It's disastrous if you are trying to build an employment brand to attract A-list players. Strong arm tactics have no place in our business. …; Added by John Sumser at 11:35am on August 22, 2008
