I just published a short ebook on Amazon. It sells for $2.99.

It's called The Psychology of Job Hunting but it's really about the fear of cold calling and networking.

It's focus is self-image and boundary issues. That doesn't sound interesting but I tried to make it very colloquial and enjoyable to read.

I've…

Sometimes a show sounds a lot different in the recording that it does when you are participating in it live.

A few weeks ago Amy Ala, Derek Zeller and …

When Gerry Crispin was a boy hiring was so easy. There was lots of talent just lying all over the place.

All you had to do was put an ad in the paper and hire a secretary to open the resumes.

The Animal Aftershow slaughtered me today.

Here's what Jerry wrote when he posted the scores:

The crowd loved this show and it was pretty good.

And without taking any glory away from the guest, Reed Kremer, I believe that the key factor was the great input from the Animal…

@CaseyRecruitsDC is a nice young fellow. The crowd loved him. Especially the maternal and paternal types. They gave him a higher score than me. They said I wasn't prepared. Yeah, right. Oh, please.…

Recruiting Animal Show - Recording - Feb 27, 2013

Yes, I'm the host - but is everything my fault? Is it my fault if the guest calls in from England on a bad line? I beg the guests, I implore them, over and over: "Sound is important" I say. Then on the show, the other schmoes tell…

I met Michael Heller a few weeks ago on Twitter. He was arguing with me about something so I invited him to try his luck on The Recruiting Animal Show.

The callers didn't speak up a lot during the show but when the Aftershow came they let him…

Good show today with someone who places old execs in temp jobs.

Unfortunately, someone was doing some heavy-breathing into his mic at the start of the show. And here's something that bugs me. To talk on the show you have to call a number in New York. Jerry calls in from Indiana and Carmen called in…

A very lively show featuring The Matt Charney, Jerry Albright, Mike Astringer, Cathy Mannis, Alan Fluhrer, Rebecca Sargent. 

Comments From Twitter

Darrell…

My guest today said his firm made about 300K by being active on Twitter. So, of course, I had complaints that my guests never supply the details of how they recruit on Twitter. And he didn't.

But I actually had a show a few years ago when they did.

Plus I edited the key parts into a 16 minute mp3 file. (Below)

Craig Fisher, How To Recruit on Twitter…

Tiffany is very articulate and quick on her feet. The Animal Panel got mad because I didn't berate her for anything but, in fact, I only get mad when I have a reason to be. And she didn't make me mad. Except that she doesn't seem to have a Twitter address - an issue I forgot to take up with her on the show.

The callers and the people on Twitter seemed to like her too. I hope she comes back again.

COMMENTS ON TWITTER…

His Twitter address is @IntelMinds

Daryl speaks well and had answers for every question.

I wasn't 100% sure what the show was going to be about today.

The guest is not a recruiter. She's a 24 year old marketing grad and her story is very different from the claims of Gen Y Triumphalism we were hearing a few years ago.

The conclusion I…
