Finding Your Next Job after a Layoff

In my last blog, I wrote about how companies can manage through the flood of resumes that are hitting them. If it is difficult for corporate Human Resources right now, it is devastating for those looking for a job. As bleak as the picture is, there are companies that still need to fill crucial positions. So how do you become a candidate, let alone get the job?

Your Resume

What makes me a Smart Recruiter

Fun topic! I'll list the top reasons for my own personal success. Whether I am actually a "smart" recruiter is debatable!

1. Emotions:

I can take a $50K punch in the stomache and get right back up! In this business you MUST be able to "rise above" the daily ups and downs. No other profession has so much at stake with each day. I work in both direct and contract staffing. One day my spirit might be soaring high with a few new placements ready to start - and the very next… Continue

Ya' that’s true, and it is not fake. my job is not secure ,any time I can be kicked out from the company, but yet my CEO is saying to me to recruit good people for orgnization,yes I know he has given me a team for this and moreover recruitment is just a part of my profile.

Liposuction and resume databases

Liposuctioning unwanted blubber out of pampered Los Angelenos may not seem like a dream job, but it has its perks. Free fuel is one of them.

"The vast majority of my patients request that I use their fat for fuel--and I have more fat than I can use. Not only do they get to lose their love handles or chubby belly but they get to take part in saving the Earth."

This plastic surgeon is… Continue

What makes me a Smart Recruiter

"Know your client & your clients business & ethics and be part of their company" I find this has always worked and the trust that you develop stands you outside of the normal recruitment box

What makes me a Smart Recruiter

Based on my agency background, here are my top five reasons:

1. Resiliency – When you are a third-party recruiter (TPR), issues arise and you must be solutions-focused to move forward and recover quickly. Anticipate all possible scenarios in the hiring process and do not react emotionally.

2. Continuous learning – We are very lucky to have so many leaders and experts in our field (especially on http://www.RecruitingBlogs.com - shameless plug) that willing to… Continue

What makes me a smart recruiter?

What makes me a Smart Recruiter? Recruitingblogs.com makes me a smart recruiter and all of you make me a smart recruiter. Let’s face it, we all share somewhat of the same drive and attributes as recruiters. Some just succeed a little more than others.

So what makes me different? Honestly, not much. But one day oh probably a little more than a year ago, I had some great conversations with some guy who had a vision. A vision to create a home for recruiters like you and I. A home where… Continue

What makes me a smart recruiter

What makes me a smart recruiter......

1. I realize this is a game of "finding" not "creating".

A lot of recruiters pay lip service to the old "round hole, square peg" line about the business, but only the ones who get it know deep down that this is a game of finding, not creating. There is a right job for every person and a right person (or more appropriately, right persons) for every job. I drive my business by focusing on finding the right fit, not trying to make what I… Continue

How did we get the engagement? Believe it or not, it was not that hard. And the account acquisition costs were… Continue
