I have several incredible canditates looking for positions - now I need to quickly get into companies to make a match for them.
Does anyone know anybody who would be willing to give me an introduction into Coca Cola or other companies who are looking for new hires?
Thank you in advance for any help you can give me - it's all about who you know in BR -- I thought it was just me that thought that but I've now heard the same thing from so many people.
I'm on my own personal campaign, I hear so many times that people don't follow up in BR and don't call people back, don't respond to resumes; on and on! It's interesting to me because I did my own search three years ago, when I first moved here, and found the same thing - the only person that got back to me was someone from Mary Perkins! I didn't even get form letters.
One of the things that happened (don't get me wrong I LOVE Baton Rouge) when I was living in Hartford, CT. if someone called to network, or sent a resume, they'd receive a response. The underlying reason being that it didn't matter how high up you were in a company you knew, without a shadow of a doubt, that one day it could be you looking for a new job (having dealt with a layoff or whatever) and people just weren't going to risk having to ask someone for help when they hadn't provided it when they were asked!
I'm out to change the perception because with all the new companies coming here we need to change - we need to make sure that the wonderful Southern Hospitality that we are all so proud of is real and isn't just a superficial trait.
Good manners means being aware of others in every situation and making them feel comfortable.
I understand that people get many requests - companies receive hundreds of resumes, however, sending out a standard email or two, takes very little time and effort and one simply never knows when it'll be their time to knock on the door and ask for advice, an interview or help!
OK - I'm off my soap box now!! I love my new role as Executive Recruiter and I love my life - how great is that and how lucky I am!

OK - I'm on the search again!!! I still need a receptionist that likes dogs and would enthusiastically run errands! I'm also looking for a bookkeeper, accountant (doesn't have to be a CPA) and IT people.

01/14/2013

Ok - I'm on the search today - does anyone know a reliable, enthusiastic person who would like to be a receptionist for a prestigous (small), fast paced, company. This is a unique opportunity for a person who is flexible, has a good sense of humor, is detail oriented - has a reliable work ethic and who takes things in their stride. I'm looking for someone who wants to settle in, build a relation...ship with the company and make it their home for the next few years! Obviously, there are no guarantees, but this isn't a position for someone who is looking to work for a few months and then move on! Please call me if you or someone you know is interested in exploring this opportunity. The position needs filling fast!

I'm looking for men and women with a wide range of skills to put to work right now. If you, or someone you know, are looking to make a career move - now's the time - start off the year, looking forward to a whole new chapter in your work life. It feels good to learn new things, meet new colleagues and make new goals - I know, I just did it!

Don't forget Women & Wine is at the Hilton next Wednesday - it's a wonderful way to meet new people and renew friendships in a relaxed, fun atmosphere.

I wrote a posting yesterday that vanished - I thought it was because I was sort of selling! :-( However, one of my colleagues tells me that she always posts for job vacancies on Facebook. So, I'm going to try this again!
I have made a huge career adjustment - using my coaching and other experiences I have joined Westaff Select Staffing as their Executive Recruiter. I am very excited but the tru...th is - I can't recruit anyone if I don't have someone to recruit!
So - I'm putting out an all points bulletin for help!!!
I would love to be introduced to men and women who would like to change jobs, or who need a job or who want to make a complete career change. I'd love to help them and I promise you I'll do a good job! Thank you!

We have just lost a wonderful man - Zig Ziglar. What an incredible inspiration. I can remember, almost verbatum, what he said, on stage, during a visit to Hartford, CT. when I first launched my career. Although many things stuck in my head from that wonderful day when I first heard him speak, the one I always think of first is when he talked about his latest book and how he reached his goal weight. Truth is, that he actually wrote his book before he reached his goal weight - in fact, he was pounds heavier than his goal! Months later - he still was no closer and yet his book was almost finished and had been brought by a publishing house! Determined (and cornered) he quite literallly broke down his weight goal into pounds and then divided them into the months left before his book was to be published, and his speaking tour to begin. I think that was the first time I heard the phrase: "How do you eat an elephant, one bite at a time!"
It doesn't matter how big the goal, breaking it into bite size pieces, writing the plan down and then telling others your exact intention, is the recipe for success. In some cases, where appropriate - even sharing the goal as though it has already been achieved ensures success. Who wants to admit defeat, not only in their own eyes, but also in the eyes of others?
Zig Ziglar also was the first person I had heard talking about visualization -- seeing, feeling, hearing yourself inside your goal as though it is complete. I am sure he added visualization to his goal to lose weight - I'm sure he saw, felt and experienced himself at his ideal weight - perhaps he even imagined the clothes he wore, how healthy he felt - he actually experienced, in his imagination, the long walks he took and the runs he went on with his son, arriving at their destination feeling great in every way. More than anything, as a speaker, I'm sure he saw himself on stage telling his story and finishing with the audience standing and clapping in celebration of his amazing success!
I absolutely loved Zig Ziglar - I've spent hours listening to his tapes, hearing him live and reading his books - a true inspiration with a tremendous sense of humor that could turn a self-help inspirational moment into an hilarious 'event'. His humor gave a frame work to the tip he was sharing and everyone I know that has heard him, can remember just about everything he said years later. As simple his tip might have been, he anchored it to something funny that his audiences could relate to.

My passion is in coaching, both life skills and professional, as well as small business development and although I am making a pretty major change I will still coach and work with small businesses as I'm asked to do so. I have made a BIG change! This is the tail end of my year of massive change and this one caps the year off in a wonderful way :-)

I am very excited! I feel as though I’m in the right place; I have made a perfect match! I have accepted the position of Executive Recruiter for Westaff /Select Staffing. This organization is the tenth largest staffing organization in the United States and I am absolutely thrilled to have been invited to join them.
My years of experience as an HR/Employee Relations professional and business/executive coach provides my clients with a knowledgeable specialist, with a proven track record for recruiting, retaining talent and aligning employee skills with organizational strategy and growth.
The investment of money and time that goes into each new hire is enormous and when the hire doesn’t work out the negative impact to the bottom line financials is great. Making excellent hires is one of the biggest challenges that any company faces; my objective, using my experience and the arsenal of tools provided to me by Westaff/Select Staffing, is to become a trusted resource nationally to both businesses and individuals who are looking to make the best match possible in a new hire or as a new hire!
As you can tell, I’m excited! Linda Terry, VP of Staffing nationally for ING has been telling me for years that I should become an Executive Recruiter. Finally, I get it; it’s as though I’ve invested the last twenty years of my career to get to this point – everything I’ve done dove-tails into my new role. My new career is truly a perfect match – a win/win for all.
