Of course, there are always circumstances that…

How to Get Promoted

Posted on November 29, 2012 at 12:00pm 2 Comments

  I've been recruiting for a long time, over 18 years and it feels like I've checked a million references. One thing that comes up over and over again when talking to candidates, is their desire to get promoted. To move to the next level, take the next step to a manager or Director or VP, even CMO.

Some people seem to get promoted rapidly, no matter where they land. These are the people who spend on average 3-7 years at a company and during that time frame are promoted multiple times.…

How to find success in recruiting

Posted on March 24, 2011 at 6:30am 13 Comments

 

Put the time in. Be a student and keep learning.

 

I was inspired to write this post after reading a blog I look forward to each morning, http://www.thesimpledollar.com/ It's a personal finance blog, written by Trent Hamm, and for him it was a hobby that turned into a full-time job. In today's post, "The Limits You Choose", he addresses how many people make excuses for not finding success by saying they just don't have the…

Pam...thanks for commenting on my first blog...I really appreciate it.  Looks like I have to work on my writing because I was trying to say that leading the witness isn't a good thing 9kind of like comedian explaining why their joke is funny after the fact)...anyways I just joined this site and like what I see.  Again - thanks for the comment.

We're having a good year. We've got some good stuff on the horizon for 2011. Glad to hear business is going well on your end. If you need anything let us know. Also, I'm trying to launch a new group here called Contract Staffing Professionals. Feel free to join. Trying to give ECS a larger presence on both LI and Recruiting Blogs. Thanks Pam, have a good weekend.

Pam,

I think this is going to be a very good weekend. I am taking a little rest before the weekend kicks off. I am thinking about making sushi and having a little red wine.
