OPPORTUNITIES

Always Listen to Opportunities

Even if you are not looking

In previous articles, I had mentioned that recruiters do not look kindly on candidates who are “not really looking, but just want to see what is out there.”  As I mentioned, we are not the Sears Catalogue of Job Openings.  If you send us your resume, we will be more than happy to work with you in finding a new position if you are serious about making a change.  But if you are just checking out the market I’m afraid that I cannot be of much help.

BRAG BOOK vs. ACTION PLAN

Brag Book vs. Action Plan

I’m often asked if it is a good idea to bring a brag book to an interview.  My typical answer is yes, but make sure that you incorporate the brag book at an opportune time. If the interview is sailing along, and there is good synergy, the worst thing you can do is whip out your brag book and start showing pictures of awards, trophies and rankings. Ninety- five percent of interview success is predicated on personal chemistry, and you do not want to disrupt things by clumsily forcing the issue and disrupting the flow of an interview.  Talk about a momentum killer!
