Topic: My Future In Recruiting: ness. Clients and candidates may have more access to information but access to information does not necessarily make the process any easier. Ask anyone who lost their job this year after many years of solid employment how much easier it was to conduct a job search with job boards, social media and online resume submissions or the HR manager with less positions but overwhelming number of resumes how much easier it was to fill the positions. Most likely the answer is its not easy. As information becomes more readily accessible the need for recruiters whose primary focus is on the relationship between the candidates, the employer and the position become ever more important. There is a famous quote by Wayne Gretzky that says “A good hockey player plays where the puck is. A great hockey player plays where the puck is going to be.” This is a player who practiced hard, honed his skills and spent endless time learning from past greats and mastering the fundamental skills to succeed. When I think about my future I think about the journey of refining my own skills to assure that I am not just a good recruiter today but a great recruiter in the future. To deliver results and experiences that people want to do business with. To make employers and candidates look forward to doing business with me, know clearly what they can expect and give them no reason to consider my competition. In my constant journey for success I will continue to add value to my clients by delivering the best possible candidates and value to the candidates by properly matching them with the best positions. I will remind myself that people are often defined by their careers and candidates are not just means to a placement but individuals with careers and aspirations of their own. I will look at candidates as the means to a company’s success for no matter how much advertising and branding it’s the experience customers have with the employees that determine a good or bad customer experience. I will try to enhance the interview experience for both candidates and employers by being clear about the process, set expectations up front. Keep them clearly informed through the process and remain as an industry resource after the placement is made. I will focus my skills on becoming operationally efficient by making consistent quality improvements in my skills and processes. Taking what is there, evaluating what is working or not and utilizing it to maximum effectiveness. I will embrace the inevitable forces of change and absorb knowledge daily about the overall recruitment industry trends and technologies, my niche, candidates, clients and competition. Keep my mind open to new opportunities and evaluate whether they can assist me in delivering my services to my customers in a more effective manner. I will strive to create a seamless placement experience by assigning one person to each client and candidate to interact with and build trust. I will hire and train my staff to deliver the same experience, foster their success by listening to their needs, assisting them to work to their strengths and know that my future also depends partially upon their success. I will continue to partner with other recruiters, employers, vendors who share the same values, participate and invest in the collective wealth their knowledge and experience. I will hold myself to higher expectations by measuring my success by my own definitions not by comparing myself to others. And I will use my knowledge in career planning, social media, online search to train others, educate future graduates and the community that surrounds me. It’s going to change, the future will happen. I may be unsure of the actual destination but by focusing ahead, learning from the past and looking forward to everyday not settling for less than the most excellent recruiter I can be I know I’m headed in the right direction.…; Added by Shannon Myers at 2:42am on November 1, 2009

Comment on: Topic 'Perhaps You Just Show Up': reach a position of lofty height, manage to make idiots of themselves.Take Sarah Palin for instance, in my opinion she has managed to set women back about 100 years with her performance on the national stage. How many of us would be tapped to run for vice president and wink our way through a national debate. Lash out at the media when we become a public figure and not be able to answer a question about what we read. Then resign an elected office due to being under attack for ethics violations, frivolous or not. How long does anybody think it will be before Alasaka elects another hockey mom as their governor? Thanks a lot Sarah, you had a lot going for you, sure didn't make us too proud of the second female every selected to run for vice president.How many women work harder to get to the top then blow it acting like a sterotypical airhead or a brass balled bitch when they get there. I have seen a bunch on all levels of management. Prime example over on Claudia's Wisdom post of the lady who got the promotion then became a micro manager. Do men do the same thing, probably ,but in my experience, not as much as women do. Over and over i hear from women candidates. "I do not want to work for another female boss, i would rather work in an office full of men who smell like goats than an office full of petty, gossipy women".So rather than "Women dont' get an equal chance" how about, how come it is that women blow it when they get it more often than men? Maybe that is why there are more men in management positions than women. I don't think i have ever heard of a man in the bathroom crying about something at work but i have sure seen and heard a bunch of the fairer sex bawling in the ladies room because somebody was "mean" to them.I have been accused of being a female, male chauvinist pig, which developed along with my early determination to place female professionals only to have most of them quit after a year or two to stay home with babies or because their husband didn't want them to travel or they didn't like the overtime. Men dont' seem to think they have that option as much as women. Gen X and Y, not so much, couples are sharing the baby bit.and women are not playing the mommy or the my husband says or doesn't want me too, card as much. So maybe we have come a long way baby and a bunch of it could be our own fault that we haven't come more miles.I would rather work in a bull pen full of men myself. Their gossip is a lot more interesting than a room full of cats hissing at each other. :) …; Added by Peter Ceccarelli at 5:53pm on August 5, 2009

Comment on: Topic 'Perhaps You Just Show Up': zed that emotions is what gets the best of us in any given situation. It's a well known fact that most women work from emotion and most men work from logic. What us women need to do....and I hate to sound so brash...is strap on a pair and use our brains without all the emotion. Be passionate about what you do and strive to do your best, BUT don't allow yourself to get drowned out by petty drama. I too would rather work with men then women, just for the simple fact that I HATE all the petty...jealous...backbiting that goes on. LADIES!!! there's no need for this...there's room for us all in this world and if we just put aside our EMOTIONS, we would ALL be incredible in whatever we put our efforts into. Rayanne....I think your Mom is an insightful person....I've had the pleasure of doing the "Home" job and going out into the real world and making a living and both are unique and rewarding in their own way....as well as difficult. We....both Men and Women....need the recognition every once in awhile of not only going beyond just "Doing Our Job", but also for doing the job we were hired to do. It's what motivates us to keep pushing forward to be succesful. I know that when someone has given me kudos, it reinforces the positive attitude I am so desperately trying to keep in this not so positive world we live in. To everyone out there....try giving someone you work with recognition, you might just get a positive response. :) Sandra McCartt said:As there seems to be an agreement here that discrimination exists in various sectors i'll throw in another little zinger to play with.
