“When I was young I lived in several different countries. This is before the EU and at a time when America only chased the Irish vote, not the English. We HAD to find work because there were no welfare state options open to us in those countries. And do you know what? We went out and found work. We had no choice”

“Defining a job candidate who is a "cultural fit" is about the person being open minded, looks for the positive in others and knowing that life is too short to focus on differences. When interviewing someone, I ask them to describe something they are proud of and why. The best answers are a challenge they overcame using a unique approach.”

“Just as layoffs were making a mockery of the team concept, employees were urged to find camaraderie and a sense of collective purpose at the microlevel of the "team". And the less teamlike the overall organization became with the threat of continuous downsizing, the more management insisted on individual devotion to these largely fictional units.”

“As job seekers, when we start our job hunt, we have no restrictions on what we can or cannot do. However, practically everyone we meet tells us what we have to do. The sad thing is that, because most job seekers don't know any better, we fall for what we hear.”

“Staffing Firms and Executive Recruiters are responsible for 10% of positions that job hunters find. Employment agencies, “temp” firms, executive recruiters, and other staffing firms fill job openings for a commission, which is usually between 15% to 33% of the annual salary. The employer pays the fee. The remaining 15% of jobs come through online applications and recruiters who are not Executive recruiters. As job seekers, if we complete three online applications a day, it’s easy to fool ourselves into thinking we’re being productive. So here’s my question: Given that “Talking To Other People” yields five times the number of jobs as online applications (75% vs. 15%), and staffing companies yield almost as many opportunities as online applications (10% vs. 15%), don’t we owe it to ourselves to pursue these avenues? If not for ourselves, then maybe for our loved ones who depend on us and our salaries.”
