In today’s technologically advanced world, it can seem almost impossible that any recruiter would have clients who are not on board with newer recruiting technology, such as video interviews. However, this can be the case with many older clients who seem to think that what has always worked, will still work. Do not be discouraged – it is possible to sell these “old-school” clients on newer recruiting technology!

A mentor is a valuable thing. Having someone that wants to help you succeed in your career and can help coach you through it can make the difference between being stuck at entry level and climbing up the corporate ladder. When we look for a mentor, we often look for people who are leaders in the industry. You stalk the person on LinkedIn and hope to find a way into this leader’s life.

Owning or being an important part of business is about the little things. At first, the big decisions will take up most of your time: what is our business going to be? How will we lead our employees going forward?

This is a Catch-22 situation if I’ve ever seen one: I was helping a friend with his job search. He is trying to obtain an entry level HR position. A position he found indicated the minimum education required was a high school diploma but 5 – 8 years of experience was necessary. Neither of us understood the logic. We do not know how a high school student can get that level of experience by the time they graduate.

…There is no try.” – George Lucas. <en.wikipedia.org> For this week’s quote we can thank George Lucas , an American film director, screenwriter, and producer perhaps best known for the creation of the Star Wars film franchise. It’s timely for me as a reminder that – even when we don’t completely have our footing – most of the time the best way to accomplish our goals is to simply roll our sleeves up, ask questions, think critically, and keep push
