Thanks for checking in. I'm still in the market, however, the feedback is slow or zilch. I did have few interviews (with Pinstripe and GE Health Care). I thank you and appreciate all the help you provided for recruiting links. It has helped me a lot.
I think the knock on resume is that I still haven't completed my Bachelors from perspective client's point of view. It's bullshit, really. Maybe, I should have completed my education when I had the opportunity but I decided to learn the business on my own. As of now, if the right opportunity comes along, I will take it. Else, I will just keep building my network from here and Linkedin, and also try to develop business for the minority-owned company that I am currently working for.
Hey Heather, thanks for the "welcome aboard" email. Actually, our HQ is in Silicon Valley (Campbell, CA)....and there's no way we are letting go of our talent! :)
Hi Heather, thanks for the comment about my pic! "Baghead" is our corporate mascot - he represents all the old-school resumes that are out there. :)
Speaking of, you should get a VisualCV yourself. I noticed that you've got the Heidrick & Struggles story about "Facebook for the Seven-Figure Set" on your blog. I'm the relationship manager for our work with Heidrick.
Contact me if you want some help getting your VisualCV setup. I can also get you a VisualCV button for your blog. See Guy Kawasaki's blog for an example : http://blog.guykawasaki.com/
Thanks for the message. Yes, we did work at Volt during the same time. I was trying to place you after I saw your name on this blogsite and honestly, I knew your name but nothing else was coming up for me. I think you worked in SFO or Mountain View...is that correct? You, me, Annette Fletcher from Portland and Martha Kroodsma in the Cleveland area were throwing up the best numbers for a while. I then joined Pat Cronin's training and development team and we go serious about developing the program for professional placement at Volt. I had a great run with the company and left formally and finally in May of 2004. I then joined the ranks of corporate recruiting and worked for a high tech company (Tektronix) and moved into a Sr Recruiter role. I was there 3.5 yrs and then off to ESI (ElectrovScientific Industries) as a Staffing Manager. That position is jut over 3 months new and the jury is out.
How are you doing? Are you an independent recruiter or are you attached to a firm? I hope you're doing well, Heather. I still get together with Annette Fletcher as I live in Portland now...moved from Seattle ~5 yrs ago. I also still communicate with many of my past colleagues from Volt.
Let's continue to communicate...I love that you remembered me.
