Excellent, Rayanne...at first, I thought: "aww crap, she's leaving"..
glad that's not the case.
KarenM - "Thomas.. if you remember I sent you a personal email, off line; in which I had mentioned to you that my comments had not been addressed to you - and actually your name had not even been mentioned within those comments.. My comments had a...
Really think so Karen? I seem to recall another thread where you considered my way of thinking to be a character flaw..or at least the start of the slippery slope towards the abandonment of ones moral compass.
I'll take consistency for 100 please...
Would you be friend with the guy if you had met him outside of work?
how important is the guy? if his cause succeeds, how will it cost you? will it cost you?
if you really like the guy, and deem him important, flip him twenty bucks and tell him ...
this is just me, but complaining about egos in an environment where content is provided by people OPINING about things, is like saying the zoo would be a great place if it wasn't for all of the stinky animals and their smelly poop. can't have the ...
I liked this part:
"I decided to put my acting skills to work and walked through there like I was an attorney. I was actually asked a couple of times if I was an attorney. Me...,"
taken together with the fact you dictated the terms of engagement...
check out gethydrologyjobs.com it's a great free resource you can post these types of positions on.
Congratulations Rayanne!
Yup - this is HUGE Rayanne.. we are in a listening business, after all.
Yep...my recruiting career sucked until I figured out I needed to be proactive about covering stuff like this.
On another note - I've been dumb enough to accept a counteroffer..it stands as just about the costliest thing I've ever done to myself....
good post..I would just add this -
If you're talking about shopping candidates to generate business, then yeah, just emailing is dumb..but an email combined with a call referencing the email a day or so later can work.
And i always leave a messa...
I like suggestions one thru ten very much.
I would submit that people who are emotional, spiritual, and adept at connecting will continue to be ever thus..technology just makes it easier for us to find each other.
1984 was really about politics,...
Some further thoughts, Rayanne..you said:
"I recently ran into a bit of a situation with a fellow member who, if I were his colleague and we worked together for the same organization, would probably be fired for creating a hostile work environmen...

The most important thing..
The other day, I was thinking back to a factory job I held from 1987 until 1995..I worked the afternoon shift at an aluminum casting foundry, where we made parts for things like autos, fighter jets, and tanks..
Anyway, my job was to take the rough edges off of the castings, done by holding the casting "just right" on a rotating belt of very coarse sandpaper..the belt moved fast enough that if one was careless or in a hurry, a casting could be destroyed in seconds, or worse yet, one's fingers co… Continue

Now THAT'S what I call social media
So I'm playing with one of those online resume searching deals ( CV fox for those of you keeping track), and about ten pages into my returns, I find a PDF that's actually an attendee list from a convention held by professionals within my specialty.
So, I'm going to like, socially reach out to them and see if I can't change someones life for the better.
Just thought I'd offer encouragement to the sourcers out there - keep on digging. :)

These words of wisdom came from my martial arts instructor..The point being it is fruitless to worry about adhering to a particular "way", when the goal is survival.
What does this have to do with recruiting you ask? Well, ones recruiting methodology most likely mirrors that of the people who taught you to recruit, and much like habits, methodologies have a direct impact on ones success,
