Be the needle in the haystack...

A few days ago, I told my husband the story of my brother and his unique approach to interviewing and finding a job. With perseverance, creativity, preparation and bit of luck, he landed the opportunity of a lifetime!

Like so many other people adversely affected by the staggering economy, he was laid off several months ago resulting from a reduction in force. Adding insult to injury, the layoff occurred two weeks before Christmas, and the family’s holiday cheer evaporated…

Tales from the Recruiter Crypt

Tale #1 – All hope is LOST

I receive a phone call from my client; my candidate has yet to arrive for her 12pm interview. It is now 12:13pm. I immediately call the candidate, only to get her voicemail. Maybe I didn’t provide the correct details for the interview, or maybe she had an emergency that prevented her from coming to the interview. Why didn’t she answer her phone?

Many employees shop on their lunch break, and it is very close to the Sheridan hotel, where you are all staying :) The lobby is my favorite, very nice wood and tile lay out. We finally have a receptionist too; I actually recruited her when she was looking to rent my apartment...small world! The rest of the floor still has some construction planned for the future (i.e. we will be building out one section in the near future and there are currently three different types of carpet that will hopefully be changed to one nice one :) haha)
I am doing well. I was the Team Lead for the EDJ project, but once that pilot closed [end of February] I transitioned into an Implementation role. I am currently implementing Qualex and Kodak Gallery (sister companies of Kodak) and once they launch I will be Program Mgr and Lead Recruiter until the programs are handed off to some one else. I am learning a lot though, so it is fun...I wish the clients were moving a little faster...[typical] :)

How are you doing?
