The people in the recruitment industry aren't necessarily motivated by process. They need to be. They also need to educate both client and candidate in the recruitment process. Many of us have inherited a finely tuned process devised by Morgan…

Hi Victoria, fully agree with your point that a decision is also to be made by the applicant. Doing due diligence cannot be done in one interview, let alone a short interview. I always recommend trying to meet two levels up, to get better feel of…

Victoria,
Wow, your decision took guts. With employment prospects being what they are now, your intuition gave you insight that you acknowledged and acted with courage. Kudos to you.
Michael Rocha commented on Victoria Schanen's blog post 'Short Interview? Be Afraid'
This is a really good post! Many people today feel they need to take the first offer they get no matter what. A few candidates don’t take the time to get all of their questions answered and use the job as a stop gap measure until they find…
Short Interview? Be Afraid
Interviewing for jobs can feel like a whirlwind - driving to all corners of the city, lots of new names and faces, various business models, etc. Keeping all the details straight can be a challenge! But I urge all of you to take a breath, relax, and get all of your questions answered. Remember, you are interviewing the company as well and if you're like most people, you will stay an average of 18 months with the company if they make you an offer. Get as many of your questions answered and red…See More

Hey Victoria ,
Hope you have better luck this year at job hunt. Just a piece of advice, keep polishing your skills with advanced courses as competition keeps increasing.
Casting A Wide Net on the Net
I suppose this goes without saying, but when in a job search don't put all your eggs in one basket. Early in my search for an IT Staffing Recruiter position, I made the mistake of limiting my activity. I was talking and meeting with five firms, two of which were aggressively pursuing me. I let two new opportunities slip under my radar because things seemed to be going well enough that I expected to get an offer from one of the five firms.And then the holidays came. Three of the five firms went…See More

Michelle Thompson commented on Victoria Schanen's blog post 'I'm a Job Seeker, Hear Me Tweet'
Victoria, I have not read a more succinct and clear piece on the advantages of tweeting in a long while. I have shared this via email with some social media-phobes I know who really need to get in the game. As a sales professional, I also see the…

Keep up the good work.
Cheers.

I'm a Job Seeker, Hear Me Tweet

As I continue along in my job search for an IT Staffing Recruiter position, I'm becoming more and more keen on the benefits of using Twitter.
Sure, plenty of people use Twitter in less-than-optimal ways, sharing the minutia of their daily lives to anyone who will listen. But I'm not talking about that kind of tweeting. I'm talking about a genius yet easy-to-use tool that can and should enhance any job search if used correctly.

Getting Hip to Social Media
Posted on December 30, 2009 at 10:41am 4 Comments 0 Likes
Social media is becoming ubiquitous. Websites like Facebook and YouTube are among the most popular websites racking up millions visits - ok, and they're also among my most visited websites too. But beyond the entertainment factor, I'm realizing more and more that social media is an indispensable part of any serious job search. As a recruiter seeking a position right now, this is especially the case for me.
