Eric - that's exactly right. It turns into an issue of damage control as opposed to just worrying about performance. Thanks for the comment.

Duane great job with this post. I really like the fact that you showed how his comments impacted both the team (coworkers) and his fans (clients). It's amazing how one slip of the tongue can do so much damage one's reputation.

Are you committed like Cole Hamels? Employers hope not!

I know the MLB World Series is over and the Yankees have been crowned the champs but there was an interesting side story that I think really applies to your job search. Cole Hamels, superstar pitcher and MVP of last years World Series and National League Championship Series (yeah he’s kind of a big deal), really upset fans when he said he couldn’t wait for the season to be over. The problem - he said this after a poor outing and losing pitching effort against the Yankees in game 3 of the World S… Continue

Have You Ever Had a Boss You’d Call Friend - Burning Bridges

I'm sure you've heard the a saying, "The grass isn't always greener". Does this apply to you when it comes to your career? How many times have you left a company thinking it was the right thing to do?

Maybe you left for:

- more money
- loftier title
- closer to home
- more flexibility
- better people

The problem is once you get to the new company you realize they have their own warts that you didn't see during the interview process. This blog is for you.

I started recruiting 14 years ago for… Continue

He found a job: My interview with Joe Rohde

This week I am interviewing Joe Rohde. Joe has had a great sales career and agreed to chat for a bit about what's been successful in his job search.

First, can you give an over view of your background and the circumstances that led to your unemployment?

My experience was continuous growth which alternated between startups and established companies. Typically my success was in establishing the 'early adopter' customers for new technologies and products. The immediately previous 14 years were sp… Continue

I'd love to chat with you sometime. I also work from my home office and never found it challenging until recently. I'd also be interested in hearing what your experience has been like with Korn Ferry. I've always respected that firm but have had limited interaction with them while on the corporate/client side. Are you going to the Sac Area Recruiters meeting on May 8th?

Hi Duane,

I live in Elk Grove also! What firm are you with?

You should post a real pic of yourself:)

Cheers,
Suzanne
