Confidence for Sale?

I read a recent article about the art of confidence and how one is to garner it. Take a look at the post on The Career Encouragement blog. I noticed as I was reading the post that places together a quick list of ways to gain self confidence that something was missing. The list of ways to gain self confidence did not cover what I think is the number 1 reason and… Continue

Time. Use It Wisely!

One of the most critical Success Principles is using your time wisely. While squandered money can sometimes be replaced, wasted time is gone forever.

The pace at which the world is moving seems to be increasing exponentially: we now have the tools to monitor a universe of information continuously – companies buying and selling; changes of ownership; economic ups and downs; the war on terrorism; the war for talent; the war on drugs; natural disasters; racial tension; campus massacres,… Continue

Who is Elliott and what type of employment relationships do we offer our workforce?

It could be because most of our work force is self managed...it could be that aunts, uncles, parents and children and multiple generations work at Elliott (when we talk about family sometimes we mean it literally)...it could be the down to earth VP's who's entry level careers and countless hours have paid off as they provide the necessary leadership and produce results. Personally I think the turnover metrics says it best, with less than 1% annually turnnover Elliott Company is able to back…

A Talent Professional's Strategy for Landing the Big Job

This is how a highly skilled recruiter tackles an opportunity to land a dream job.

I got to know Karla Porter through various recruiting networks over the last year or so, and more closely through Twitter over the last several months. I have grown to respect her opinions, ideas, and her straight forward generosity. So when she sent me a note on Twitter that said basically, "We are supposed to be the experts at this and I have a job interview pending that is making me…

Just a reminder for those of you with Administrative Assistants. The national day is quickly approaching on April 2010 in the USA. Please remember those exceptional people, who rarely complain, are usually at work before everyone else in the department as well as after everyone else and the busiest people in the department managing the 300 interruptions a day to ensure the rest of us are able to meet and accomplish the goals necessary to ensure the department receives high marks when… Continue

Job motivation

I have been investigating the job motivation area since I see a trend that has evolved since our last major recession in the 2000-2001 time frame. People are looking for jobs, applying for new roles, even leaving positions for uncertain futures during a time when positions are not as plentiful. Why is that? Why is their turnover when people are being laid off by the thousands? Why are the open chairs when unemployment is so high? Motivation and the keys to why people work are becoming of large… Continue

The more I do my job the more I like it

I've previously expressed my views on the role corporate recruiters need to play in delivering a good message on behalf of the company, so it should come as no surprise that I put a lot of effort into making sure any candidate I recruit is really pumped up about coming to work here.

I generally let the candidate take a lead role here, directing me on the tour of my company to the various… Continue

Einstein as an Executive Recruiter

A classic definition of insanity is attributed to Albert Einstein. It was also attributed to Ben Franklin, and the author Rita Mae Brown. I'm paraphrasing, but odds are you've heard it before. The classic definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, expecting a different result.

In a market like this, it's easy to attribute a lack of results to the economy. No matter how many "Positive Mental Attitude" pills (metaphorically… Continue
