When I first started my career as a recruiter, I worked and trained with a few “old-school” recruiters who had learned the staffing business in the days before internet searches and online job boards … when recruiters were called “Head Hunters” and had Rolodexes filled with prized contacts. It was all about who they knew. The implication of the term Head Hunter was that they only went after top talent – usually people who worked for their client’s competitors – and actually recruited them away from one company to come …

Recruiters are bullish on the outlook for executive-level job hunters in
2010. Slightly more than half of 153 recruiters surveyed earlier this month
said they expect a 19% rise in executive-search assignments during the first
half of 2010, reports ExecuNet, a networking organization for recruiters and
executives. That’s the largest percentage increase since early 2008.

executive employment market will improve in the next six months. What’s
more, 21% of …

1. Don’t Answer That Interview Question
Inappropriate interview questions and how to respond (diplomatically).
September 10, 2009
By Lisa Vaas, The Ladders.com

He was in his early 50s, and he looked every bit of it.
The questions on the job application went right to his age.
After stewing over the form and discarding his first draft, he filled out a second copy. Then, he sat and waited for his interview. As he waited, an attractive, young woman entered the room for a job interview.
She was called in before him. She wound up getting the job.
He didn’t. …

You’re Hired! Enterprises 
 
The old methods of job hunting simply aren’t working for me, so I’ve decided to go entirely high tech by using social networking. What do I need to do to make me a winner in cyberspace?
 
Traditional System response: In case you weren’t aware, social sites such as Twitter are not just being used for killing time. I’m sure you have heard over and over by now that networking is the best way to come across new career opportunities.
 
Well, Twitter is another way to grow …

Many jobseekers poopoo the fact that they need to get out and attend networking functions. Using very lame excuses, this group of people miss the opportunity of meeting the very folks that could and most likely would be the key to their next life opportunity in the occupational world. Key groups in the Dallas/Ft Worth Metroplex include all the groups associated with the Career Search Network (www.careersearchnetwork.org) and the Southlake Focus Group (www.southlakefocusgroup.com) who entertains over 300 participants in weekly meetings every Thursday.
These groups meet and further hone the networking process by …

I’ve been helping with a lot of letters lately. Here are some typical mistakes and my comments–
 
Too long. Limit your letter to one page; anything longer than a page almost certainly won’t be read.
 
Type too small. How old are the eyes of the CEO able to hire you? What is the probability s/he is reading with glasses? Larger is better.
 
Too complicated. Even if you are smarter than 90% of the people you are writing to (you probably are), you lose when you make the letter complicated, obscure, obtuse. Too complicated …
