I felt the need to write this article after a recruitment firm asked one of our clients if the marketing person whom they were staffing needed to know social media. The job was a product marketing position and our client is a transoceanic fiber optic cable owner and operator. This question immediately raised concern amongst myself and my company's sales and marketing recruiters. The problem with social media is that some marketing employees do not take the time to learn about its strengths and weaknesses prior to moving forward with a marketing plan involving social media. What marketing professionals and the people who hire them need to understand is that "social media" is exactly what it sounds...

When people look for jobs, they are frequently of the idea that selecting a legal recruiter is like selecting a staffing agency. This is patently untrue. In the world of professional recruiters, the recruiters select you, you do not select them. Understanding this basic concept will help you get the most out of your job search. When people use a professional recruiter to find a job, the process is the exact opposite of that which companies employ. A corporation or law firm will use one or maybe two professional recruiting agencies to fill their job openings. Individuals, when they are searching for jobs, should make sure a huge number of recruiters have their résumés. A good number to...

As I interviewed thousands of people over a 20 year period at the Executive Recruiting Firm I owned in Phoenix AZ, I discovered that the majority of people are NOT living their passion. Instead they are showing up for a “job,” collecting a pay check, counting the days until the weekend or counting the months until their next one week vacation. Let me share a couple examples of a few clients that learned how to design a lifestyle and a career so they could “have it all” and start living THEIR Passion. Consider Mary: She just turned 40 has three children ages 3, 8 and 12 and works part time out of her home as an executive recruiter earning approximately 30K a year. Mary...

Up until the early 1990's, jobs were listed in the employment editions of leading newspapers or government employment exchanges or through retained search companies. However, during the late 1990s the conventional means of job search became ineffective, as the Internet significantly changed the way that people looked for jobs. Dedicated job portals and job boards have since become even more common on the Internet and these online job search portals have easily become the preferred option for employers and job seekers alike. Job seekers who are actively looking for jobs now have the option to search through thousands of job postings online or advertisements posted by headhunters or recruitment...

Finding the right CEO job is never an easy task. Today, with training budgets decreasing and salaries strained, it is even more difficult. At the same time, the need for top talent is growing all the time. According to outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas, a record number of chief executives left their jobs in 2008. As Tom Stemberg, the founder of Staples explains, "The CEO job today is more stressful and draining than at any time in history." For business people working up the corporate ladder this could, of course, be good news. More vacancies mean more chances for you to become a CEO. According to well known executive recruiter Dennis Carey, a well-planned succession process needs...

Lots of people toy with the idea of becoming a Recruiter, and then talk themselves out of taking the leap. Recruiting is about 'process' not personality when done properly. If you're considering becoming an Executive Recruiter, my advice is get some basic training related to the WHOLE process and decide where (and if) you'd fit into that process. The opportunities in Recruiting are endless! You may find recruiting to be the most rewarding position you've ever had emotionally, intellectually, and financially. Give it a chance! The more facets of recruiting you feel you can handle, the better you'll perform and the more money you'll make. Whether you want to be a contract recruiter, in-house corporate...

How many recent graduates are dreading seeing the family during the summer because you know they will ask? You just know they will ask it - that horrible question, the one that is slightly better than hearing, "So, when are you gonna settle down and get married?" "So, what you are going to do with your life after graduation?" AAAHHH!!!!! None of us ever want to hear that. Especially since you've finished 12 years of school, 4 years of college, and quite possibly another couple of years of grad school/law school/med school. Most of you have even completed internships in your ideal industry. You don't want to think about a career. Not yet, at least. You just want one more summer off. Anyways, it won't...

align="center"> As career experts with over twenty years’ experience of working with Executives, we can identify several reasons why many fail to move their career onwards and upwards. From our experience we have identified the following top five reasons which conspire to prevent Executives moving their careers forwards. Lack of a clearly defined and realistic career goal All too often the careers for many Executives are managed and developed by events, opportunities or other people. It is relatively rare that we find an Executive who has taken responsibility and managed his or her career through a clearly defined path. Most Executives respond to external factors such as the call from the...

In the US, obtaining goods, property, information, etc. under false pretenses is a crime that includes cases outside the definition of theft or larceny. It comprises four things, which must be proven in court, to obtain a guilty charge. * Obtaining ownership or title to * The property of another person or entity by * Intentionally making a false statement regarding current/past fact with * The intention to defraud a person or entity. Simply lying or making a false statement is not grounds for guilt. The victim of the crime should've actually been deceived and, in being so, should've transferred property or ownership on the basis of this deception. A charge of false pretense requires some kind of...

Have you lost your job? Do you know someone who has? Chances are good you either know a family who has been affected by work layoffs or are one who was laid off yourself. Statistics back in October 2007 showed more than 146 Million people working in the U.S. During the first five months of 2008 the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics recorded more than 4,000 mass layoff events in the United States, affecting more than 670,000 people and their families. It used to be that people looked for careers where they could stay with the same big company until retirement and leave with a pension. For a number of reasons, that is not necessarily an option anymore. If you're looking to...

It is important to know your market value. You can do this by...

In order to do this, I recommend the following. 1) Join Professional Organizations Most major industries have representative professional organizations. These professional organizations are an invaluable source of information for the job seeker as well as those who are employed.

This can keep you ahead of the experiential learning curve and help guide you in making decisions related to your Career Work Plan. The news about the future of a particular industry may be good and lead you to continuing education in your current career area, or it may be bad and lead you to cross-training and/or...

When are you going to find me a job? Can you help me find a job? Why haven't you found me a job? Those are the questions many job seekers want to know when they follow up with a recruiter or a staffing firm. Recently, there have been cases in which job seekers have experienced what is known as Job Hunting Depression because they have tried so hard to find a job, and have interviewed with multiple staffing firms, yet did not receive any requests for job interviews. Additionally, some of those same individuals have applied online for several jobs, only to experience rejection, and in many cases, no responses at all. As their job hunting frustration grows, those questions might become more agitated and...

The Benefits of Knowing Your Weakness In business, people like to focus on their strong points, they are proud of them and some like to show them off. Even worse, some mistake weak points for strong points, become arrogant about themselves when, in all actuality, they are quite weak. Personally, I can take arrogance for about an hour before I get sick; I can take the combination of arrogance and ignorance for no more than five minutes. I like to consider myself an entrepreneur. I started a sales recruitment firm and we are constantly growing. However, I don't want to hire somebody until I find the weakness in our team. To begin, I was born was some gifts and some shortfalls. My first gift is that I...

ign="center"> Companies across the EMEA region entered the New Year, with tighter spending and risk management controls, significant workforce and management leadership challenges, fiercer competition, more government regulation and, perhaps the biggest challenge of all, lingering uncertainty about where best to invest precious capital. If 2009 proved a year the world economy would rather forget, 2010 brings measured optimism for corporate growth across Europe, The Middle East and Africa. Improved management confidence in the global economy, prospects for higher corporate earnings, and more buoyant (though still somewhat stressed) credit markets seem likely to empower the rebuild of organisational...

Just spending time looking for appropriate jobs in the paper or on the internet is frustrating and you know that when you find one or two executive appointments that you want to apply for, you will be up against a lot of competition.

Despite increased demand for high-caliber leadership in all segments of the technology community, it wasn't until fairly recently that we saw the migration of top information technology executives between the federal and corporate sectors. Hank Philcox went from the Internal Revenue Service to become chief information officer at DynCorp, and Renny DiPentima moved from the Social Security Administration to SRA International Inc., where he became president of SRA Federal. It has quickly become clear that federal IT leadership experience laid the foundation for their success. As far back as the late 1970s, there were some non-political appointments into federal IT leadership roles. And in the late...

1) HOW TO LOOK FOR A JOB A) The Chronological Curriculum: 1. First and foremost you have to be able to write an effective resume or curriculum. Now there are two types of curriculums that you have to consider. One is the Chronological Curriculum while the other is the Functional Curriculum. But since the Chronological Curriculum is the one that is most used, I'm going to start in explaining how to most effectively write and use this one. 2. One of the most important items often left out of this type of curriculum is the objective or direction that you're trying to set-up for yourself. In other words you should have some idea as to what kind of position or job you're applying for and state this in a...

For most job seekers, conducting a comprehensive job search includes-at least to some degree-interfacing with recruiters (a.k.a., headhunters). But, for many people, this is also one of the most misunderstood aspects of a job search. Here are some quick tips and "must-knows" to demystify the process of contacting and working with recruiters, and to help you build relationships that ensure you are top-of-mind when the ideal position for you comes across a recruiters desk. 1) There are two types of recruiting firms and the distinctions are crucial to understand. Retained recruiting firms work directly for client companies and are paid to screen candidates based on very specific criteria. Retained...

If you are in sales, chances are you will need to generate leads and find some new customers. Even if your job is to solely focus on existing key accounts, it will still be a good idea if you have a couple of new customers once in a while to make up for the attrition of old ones. However, most sales organisations rely on 1 or 2 methods to generate leads, when they probably can get better results if they were to synergise a few methods to generate a lot more QUALIFIED leads. Here's how you can do so: * Cold call. Cold calling (usually calling the entire phone directory) is probably the most common of all ways to generate leads. However, the problem with cold calling is that it takes a lot of time...

p>In times of high unemployment and fewer job opportunities, there are some curious trends that develop. As job seekers flood into competition for fewer jobs, some employers seem to develop an attitude that prospective employees must be the "cream of the crop" with very little interest in wasting time on interviewing less qualified candidates. For those who continue to work, an employer's market seems to add more stress, require higher standards of performance from the work force, and demonstrate less appreciation for existing talent. Though these perceptions may truly apply in some cases, when industries tighten their belts to weather the storm of decreased profits, staffing cut backs, and fewer...

Clients choose a search firm because of their ability to locate the top talent for them. They rely on the quality of candidates that are searched out for them. One way that search firms can maintain this quality by using the same best practices that are in place in the top human resources management groups. A key component of those best practices is the selection interview. This is where the rubber meets the road. After spending time with the client to determine what the requirements for the job search are, formal (skills) and informal (fit) then and only then, should a search firm embark on a job search for the client. In the 1950's interviews were regarded as having the scientific status of...

As a specialist and focused Executive CV Service, before we started our Executive CV Writing Service, we undertook some market research. This left us with the question of what should an Executive CV Service include? CV Writing Most CV Writing services are based around the speed of turn around, in creating a more marketable and better presented version of you. This is driven by the candidate side of the market which wants to use job boards, although these only account for 12% of fulfilled jobs annually. Hence, the CV Writing services offer 24 hour turn around for draft CV's, and paper copies as optional extras. Within the service, you should have a 30min phone call to go through your work history and...

Executive talent is always at a premium. Because the value of any company is directly tied to the quality of its leadership, companies always need executives and upper management who know the ins and outs of corporate operations. In the face of changing technologies, changing global markets and even just the intricacies of national economy fluctuations, companies more than ever need strong executives and management who can guide a company effectively. Executives who are in career transition, or those who are simply looking to make a move to a fresher career or a better position, may find that companies are in competition for their services and may be willing to go to greater lengths to recruit them...

Miami is the largest metropolitan area in the state of Florida, and is the county seat of Miami-Dade County. The city's importance as an international financial and cultural center has elevated Miami to the status of a truly global city. Miami is unique since it has established cultural and linguistic ties with North, South, and Central America, as well as the Caribbean, and this urban hub is almost often referred to as the gateway of the Americas. On the economic and financial front, Miami is one of the country's most important financial centers. It is the major center of regional commerce, and has a strong international business community presence. Due to its proximity to Latin America, Miami...

Show them a career path in your interview process. There is more to attracting talented prospects to come work for you than "you can make a lot of money here!" As a matter of fact, by mainly focusing on the money, you in effect create doubt in your prospect. People are highly skeptical of "easy money" and will tend to be turned off in the absence of other career opportunity traits. This is one of the biggest mistakes I see most recruiting firm owners make in the interview process. They focus on the money significantly more than they focus on the career opportunity. And, as recruiters, we know money is fifth or sixth on the list of our candidates needs and "opportunity" is in the top three...

I once knew a woman who would come back from her lunch break sleepy and cranky. She'd put her head down on her desk and then arise to shout and snap at co-workers, clients-and, eventually, her boss. She was fired shortly after that incident. She'd always explain her behavior by saying "It's the food!" She was actually on to something; food is powerful and can seriously affect your moods and energy levels. Food has the power to heal-or harm. Whether you're unemployed and job-hunting, or employed but want to move up the company ladder, you need to stand out from the competition like never before. Emily Koltnow, president of the executive recruiting firm, Koltnow & Company, says: "All companies look...

A job search can quickly become a time consuming and frustrating experience, without the right tools, planning and resources. Making one mistake such as using "surfing the internet" as your main medium for job hunting, can lead to countless hours of wasted time each week. Here are five simple steps you can take to save yourself time, frustration and wasted energy: Step 1: Create your system Use a simple system to map out (yes, actually write it out - so it's "out of your head" and on paper!) your job search goals. Where you are going, what is motivating you, your thoughts on how you are going to get there and what your ultimate goal is. Mapping out your plan and your strategy will keep you on track...

Laid off? Thinking about making a career change? Many colleges and universities provide vital resources to alumni who are in the market for job advice. If you think these services are limited to those who have just been awarded diplomas, think again. You don't necessarily have to be a recent graduate to seek help from your alma mater. I'll begin this post with a disclaimer: some schools provide more services than others. And some provide excellent services to graduates of their professional schools, while offering little support to those who came out of other fields. Worst case, you may find that your alma mater doesn't offer much for you. Best case, though - and the reason it's worth your while to...

About 15 years ago, I got a call from a lead partner at one of the largest executive recruiting firms asking if I'd be interested in talking to Mr. Hank Greenburg about a senior level job at AIG. That company was the big dog in property and casualty insurance and was led by an iconic figure (Hank) that took a small insurance company in the 1960s and built it into a Fortune 10 in a few decades. The job we discussed was running AIG in the Far East out of Tokyo. I was interested, but after a couple of months of dancing, we were unable to overcome my primary hurdle: I was willing to make a three-year commitment to Japan; they wanted five. If you're asking yourself, "Why would someone want to go to work...
