Thomas Patrick Chuna replied to Tim Spagnola's discussion 'Question of the day: Can a resume gap deem a candidate unworkable?'"Only three things make a candidate unworkable in the case of "resume gaps"
1) not being a fit for the position in the first place
2) the candidate being unable to explain the gap properly during the interview…"
Thomas Patrick Chuna replied to Marcus Edwardes's discussion 'resume writing/editing services'"I like what Amber said..whether one pays five bucks, or one pays a thousand for a resume, if it doesn't convey "you", it's a waste of money..if the writer isn't asking the questions, it's a waste of…"
Thomas Patrick Chuna replied to Tim Spagnola's discussion 'Looking For RBC Feedback'"Valentino, I agree 100%..I wouldn't want a blanket policy about promoting stuff within the context of a blog, but the ones that cross a line are easy to see..I really don't want to see them banned, maybe just returned to the sender for…"
Thomas Patrick Chuna replied to Tim Spagnola's discussion 'Looking For RBC Feedback'"Weed out the blogs that are more advertising than useful content."
Thomas Patrick Chuna commented on Jessica Lunk's blog post 'Unleashing the Networking Potential of Facebook Places.'"What about those who would prefer to eat their lunch in peace? There's kind of a taboo against interrupting someone while they are eating, or has social media done away with that too?
That's why god gave us voicemail and email..so we can…"
Thomas Patrick Chuna replied to Mikal Jackson's discussion 'Hey Your Recruiter types - Got a Question!'"Tell jobseekers to quit asking if recruiters are contingency or retained..coaches seem to think that's important for jobseekers to know and it's not...if the jobseeker is qualified and committed, AND the client wants to talk to them,…"
Thomas Patrick Chuna replied to Mikal Jackson's discussion 'Another Question From A Career Coach'"I like what Amy said..older workers need to understand that the world has changed, and they need to adapt or be forgotten..another meaning of "experienced" is "set in their ways".

Thomas Patrick Chuna replied to Keith Plesha's discussion 'Salary Objections'"I just tell the candidate that knowing their range helps me protect their interests going forward...never fails.

Thomas Patrick Chuna commented on Chris Russell's blog post 'Candidate software suggestions'"try looking at a package called "chaos intellect"

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… Continue

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. :)

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,
