Create your own job!

Did you know that when you see a job advertised in the paper, it is usually too late. What I mean is simply that you will become one of many who apply to the opening.

I heard recently that a Human Resources Manager role attracted close to 200 resumes. I am not saying that this way can’t work; however your odds decrease dramatically. My tip is to create your own job. What I mean by

this is to get your credentials in front of the main decision makers before the job is released into the… Continue

Take the Risk out of the Hire!

Interviews can be a very stressful time yet it doesn’t have to be that way when you understand what the objective is from the employer's perspective. Let me explain.

Employers are trying to hire candidates that match their requirement. They usually take time beforehand and make a list of required key skills and nice to have skills. Questions are usually formulated to

access and rate the information that will be obtained in an interview.

What the employer…

At 4:47pm on September 7, 2010, Kevin Vaughn said…: Hi, my name is Kevin and I am the operations manager for a healthcare recruiting firm in Los Angeles, CA. I’m reaching out to you because you indicated on your profile that you were in healthcare staffing and possibly open to doing some splits. We have a lot of open job orders and offer a 50/50 fee split. Would you be open to discussing ways we could collaborate from time to time?

At 12:51am on March 13, 2009, Paul DeBettignies said…: I am the “Admin” for the Recruiters On LinkedIn group, www.recruitingblogs.com/group/linkedin. You have recently joined and this is a "welcome" to the group and "here is how it works".

Over the past year I have been experimenting how best to facilitate members being able to connect with each other. Some want to connect with everyone and some are looking for a few meaningful connections.

1-2 times per week I send a group introduction message with 10-15 new members and reintroducing others.

What this means for you is simple, do you wish to be introduced to the group?

You have 4 options from which to choose:

(A) “Open Networker” with name, email address, and LinkedIn URL as you want to connect with anyone and everyone.

(B) “General Introduction” with name and LinkedIn URL as you are specific about who you want to connect with.

(C) “Lurker” no announcement will be made as you want to be on the sidelines connecting with people as you wish.

(D) “Super Open Networker” which is (A) plus having your contact information on the group page.

A caution on the “Open Networker”, you may be inundated with invitations to connect. For some this is exactly what they are hoping for and others this could be a pain.

I do ask, if you receive invitations from members you do not want to connect with that you “Archive” the message versus “I don’t know” so the sender is not penalized by LinkedIn although how you handle this is up to you.

Again your options are (A), (B), (C), (D).

Please include your LinkedIn URL and email address you prefer to receive invitations and send to paul@mnheadhunter.com

Thank you for your time.
