Do You Believe in Magic?....

Hello All Help Wanted Seekers!
Hmmm...your devoted EY may not necessarily believe in magic (unless it's David Copperfield)...but, I most certainly believe in Karma....
A few things to consider:
The person who terminates you today may be your next interview tomorrow (nothing like reversed roles!)
Always make an impression...the tough part is to make them smile when they remember you
Leave the attitude at the door....you don't want it hitting you in the you know what on your way out
Remember....life is short but, it has a long memory!!!

Power Struck.....

Hello All Help Wanted Seekers!
My last post was dedicated to those who seek and, I think there's a PS to be said....
Even if the candidate didn't answer your queries exactly the way you would have hoped...
Remember to put the "Human" back in "Resources".....the applicant is still someone's spouse, sibling, child, etc...
You can always find a reason NOT to hire someone...it's the brave soul who "recommends" the hire...
Those who "seek" to use their power appropriately...are the powerful ones....

Looks Can Be Deceiving....

Hello All Help Wanted Seekers!
(And, this post especially dedicated to those who seek the seekers!)
There are people in life who are practiced and rehearsed "interviewees"...these are the folks that float into the interview room with a smile and healthy handshake...they are in the "know" about their "interviewer", after combing the Internet for that one small morsel that the interviewer will snap up as "showing interest"....In EY's experience, I would rather have the person who isn't so smooth, the person who has integrity.....someone who needs to try harder...not because he/she has to...but, because he/she wants to...
So, to those who "seek"....
What's it gonna be....Dudley Do Right...Or....Eddie Haskell...
May the force be with you...

The Missing Link....

Hello All Help Wanted Seekers!
Lately, I've been noticing a lot more requests to "Link" on my "Linked In" profile...While I never want to burn a bridge and we never know where someone may wind up....it's fairly straight forward...you don't need to accept everyone's request....remember when you do accept someone...they are able to connect to all of your connections...so, the question in your mind should be..."how will my connections feel about "their" new connection"...
Value added tip: You can remove a connection if you made an error...the missing link won't miss a thing...
