Easy To Work With

Hard to work with is a business killer.  If you’re a pain, or inefficient, you make things hard on the person you work with, client you work for, candidate you network with etc…..then you will methodically kill business.

Easy to work with is a business builder, network extender, relationship strengthener.  A little empathy goes a long way.  Put yourself in the other person’s shoes and then make yourself easy to work with.  This will cement relationships, bring in business, extend networks, and expand reach.

The Interviewer's Shoes

All kinds of goofy things happen in interviews.  Crazy questions.  Bluster.  Fluffed up claims of accomplishments and skills……etc. It’s a good idea to put yourself in the interviewer’s shoes.  Ask yourself what they want.  What the interviewer wants is to hire someone who will do the job they need to fill really well.  To make an impact on the company and to make the company better, more profitable.  If you can’t do that the interview is pointless.  If you can do that, you just need to show them that you can and will.

Re-Setting The Bar

The other day I heard about a friend of a friend who had been out of work.  This was a company move and layoff because of the move.  No fault of the employee, and by all indications a pretty talented guy.

It’s a decent sized company and there is room to move up, so my friend asked why he wouldn’t take it.  The thought process is, he needs to work and he can move up.  The problem is, he re-sets the bar at the lower level.  On his next move, internally or externally, he’s at that level and the comp offered will be based on that.  It’s a long haul to get back and nobody every ...

Target

Sometimes you know exactly who you need.  One target.  The approach, a shotgun approach, is simple.  If you have lots of time you can work towards the goal of landing the ideal candidate without a lot of risk.  If you don’t have a lot of time, the risk goes up significantly. The other approach is to have many possible targets and expand your reach to engage as many as you can.  Much lower risk.  Much more likely that you will be able to engage the right candidate.  You may even end up with a choice between a number of great potential hires. todd@toddkmiec.com http://www.recruitingblogs.com/profile/ToddKmiec https://www.facebook.com/Todd-Kmiec-and-Associates-194864617211094/
