Tax Professionals - an enigma

What's up in finance today my friends? Why can't a Recruiter find a good Tax Professional? Are they buried in numbers and afraid to come out? Do they find social networking boring? Could it kill them to post an occassional resume out there?

Maybe its just that no one wants to move to Florida, we have fun here, really... I am throwing out the white flag. I'll clean them up, make sure their ear hairs are shaved and eye brow hairs get trimmed.

Have a lovely month my… Continue

Job Search Tip: Keep a Brag Book

If you’re looking for a job in medical sales, clinical diagnostics sales, laboratory sales, DNA sales, medical supplies or equipment sales, pharmaceutical sales, or biotechnology sales, marketing, or tech support (or you will be soon), it would help you tremendously to have a brag book.

A brag book is a list of your accomplishments (stories for behavioral interviews, right here), new skills and training, stack rankings, performance reviews, e-mails or letters from satisfied… Continue

Contingencies on an offer aren’t a joke

I heard a mortgage horror story the other day from a friend as he was buying a new house and selling his town home. He had arranged to have back to back closings to make it easy, but as it came time to close on the sale of his house the buyer was a no show…it seems that he had just lost his job and now was not in a position to qualify for the loan, much less make the payments. He very quickly was put in the position where he was being pressed to make a decision on signing his closing papers… Continue

Tony Snow Teaches Recruiters

Kris Dunn learned this from the president's press secretary:

Critics should prove they can do better

Tony criticized the president's communication policy and was willing to step in to to fix someone else's mess when asked. (Don't criticize unless you can do better?)

If you're nice, your enemies will be nice, too.

Tony took the "high road" when he could have… Continue

Captain-Save-A-Candidate to the Rescue!!!! ("Up, up, and away!")

Ok, well . . . not really. In putting on my cape this morning, I looked in the mirror and realized I more resembled these lil' fellas than the Superman cartoon character :P

Which leads me to ask . . . do you think a candidate would more trust one of these guys or the super-buff, super-slick, original Superman?

How about Gen-Y versus a Boomer?

With all the time spent on the art of neuro-linguistics programming,… Continue

"It's me. Can you hear me?" The VoIP argument.

Re: For those using VoIP for your home and/or office lines: are you having issues lately?

This is a really interesting subject to me. I hear the argument all the time from would-be telephone sourcers who want to use VoIP.

"Go ahead," I say.

"But it works just fine!" they insist.

"No it doesn't," I reply.

"Yes it… Continue

Strategic Positioning for Recruiters

Have you thought about WHY a company would use YOU..................rather than the myriad of alternatives to find and secure their next player?

Is it because you are better?

Do you do it faster?

Are your candidates Better? Who says? ..................................You?

Or do the statistics report that when you make a placement that the company objectives get met?

Is it that you are totally enthralled with finding your client the next key… Continue

Are "Social Media Experts" the old black?

John Sumser's daily roundup linked to Louis Gray's "Social media experts are the new webmasters" post with which I disagree on just about everything except the punctuation.

I won't argue that the title of "webmaster" carries a tinge of the information-age equivalent of a locomotive fireman, but unlike that example, it's not because the work has disappeared. Most webmasters in their heyday… Continue
