Comment on: Topic 'Generational Con Man': said. Actually, I am interested in this conversation because it involves me as much as it involves the "Depends" crowd. I am of the Gen Y generation. Yes, our parents (YOUR generation) made some boo-boos (and STILL won't admit it) and like every generation, we try to learn from the generations that came before us. Yes, a lot of us inherited a sense of entitlement but it's a learned behavior. I understand the Kent State and Woodstock references and didn't go to the Woodstock of the last decade because I don't like live music and no one has ever bought me a $300 tent and I couldn't afford to take off of work/school for 3 days to go do drugs in the dirt even if I wanted to. Marky Mark sucks--period. Thanks for doing the dirty work. Racism still exists. Don't believe me? Ask my 20-year-old half brother who is half white and half black and who gets pulled out of the car and searched everytime he gets pulled over, even when it's just for a tag light being out or because he "looked suspicious" (i.e. looks like a 20 year old black male) to the police officer. The Beatles are still amazing. "Maybe I'm Amazed" is the ringtone on my phone for my boyfriend. Vinyl is still the best sound quality according to any sound technician out there. Yes I wanted $40k/yr out the gate from college but got $28k and it's been a long, tiresome, uphill battle for survival. Especially considering I've been laid-off twice in the past five years (once due to company relo, once due to $$$) and am now looking down the barrel of a lay-off gun again only 5 years into my career. Sales is an ugly game. MY point is every generation has their faults and triumphs. My generation has a lot left to prove. If we're smart we'll listen to what you all have to say and take it with a grain of salt and also realize that if you want to be good, you have to dig deeper than the info in the crappy, out-of-date textbooks supplied by HR. We'll also learn to leave blame behind because it just doesn't help anyone. Hopefully the Boomer generation will give us the respect of not really thinking we think that we're soooo much better and smarter and at the same time dumber than you that we need you to be self-deprecating to learn any lessons and if anyone bites the bait--best of luck. Life has a way of thinning out the heard anyway.…; Added by See_Jane_Recruit at 4:07pm on May 11, 2009

Comment on: Topic 'Out to Pasture???': good start. If you don't want to go the agency route, you may be onto something with the coaching resume thing. A former client of mine does that, you might want to reach out to her to network. She's been doing it for a number of years and might be a good resource to learn more about the market. She also has a network of other people that she refers stuff too, depending on the project, so you never know. Here's her contact info: Kathy Robinson, Turning Point http://www.turningpointboston.com/about_us.shtml Also, a friend of mine has been doing resumes for people and said there seems to be a demand for it. He's a recruiter who recently went on his own and loves doing the resumes in addition to recruiting. So, that might be worth investigating. Good luck! Pam Howie Appel said:Hi Pam, I was hoping this forum was for both agency and corporate recruiting. When they started discussing "would you do a split" I got very suspicious. To answer your question, when I was laid off from HNTB I contacted all my "agency friends" and 90% of them were either doing very little or doing nothing at all. Many had closed. Even the ones who "specialized" in engineering were having a major lull in their business. That scared me. I felt with all their corporate connections they could help me secure a new, salaried corporate recruiting position.Years ago when I was on the agency side I tried to stay on the "temp" or contract side and did reasonably well until they decided to break up a high quality team. Not interested in agency work. What I AM interested in is helping people with job coaching or resume writing. Perhaps agencies can help me out there? Your thoughts? mepam claughton said:Howie,The market for corporate/contract recruiters still seems tough. However things are picking up on the agency side. Have you have explored working for yourself or at a recruiting agency? If you like it, you will never be out of a job on the agency side. :)Good luck whatever you decide. I know the market is frustrating out there.~Pam …; Added by pam claughton at 12:29pm on February 18, 2010
