Comments - Heidegger? Are you kidding me?

<p>Great post, Lisa. Also, quite timely as I just recently had a conversation about this exact "problem" </p>

<p>Great post, Lisa. Also, quite timely as I just recently had a conversation about this exact "problem" </p>

<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Here's the gist of the situation</span>: A recruiter pursued and eventually scheduled a call to "discuss an opportunity" with a prospect. Rather than doing anything resembling the above, the recruiter presumptuously launched right into interview-mode as if mutual interest had already been established. (hint: it hadn't). There was no selling of the position, no concept of why that prospect might want to consider it (nothing stated to make is sound appealing, attractive, interesting) and definitely no effort to understand what that prospect might be motivated by, career-wise. The prospect was expecting to "discuss the opportunity" not get grilled and drilled by some fool too foolish to know the difference. Huge fail. </p>

<p>Love this post, Lisa. Equal parts personal and insightful. The human connection and deep rhetorical nature of recruitment fascinates me, and it's a side I think unfortunately gets swept under the rug as often as not.</p>

<p>Thanks for this Lisa! I have been up on my storytelling soapbox now for weeks, and I will need to order one of those t-shirts Tim is printing as well. Whether it be internal or external, the ability to create appeal and truly create a story about the firm, the role, and the potential for a candidate seems to be a lost art. Your article should be required reading for all those rookies, as well as a refresher for some who might have lost that vision. Kudos again. </p>

<p>Excellent! I always consider that my Philosophy degree from Princeton enabled me to be especially skilled at selling the intangible aspects of career opportunities, wherein it seems their greatest appeal exists. I'd much rather sell learning and discovery opportunities than sell money$$.</p>
