New Friends, New Openings

During times of unemployment and uncertainty in the job market, it is always impressive to see people rally together to help others -- networking, sharing ideas, sharing job leads. It's the silver lining on the unemployment cloud. I witnessed this big-time last night in my enounter with a group here in Dallas called Career Connection, a group that assists candidates in finding their "match" and landing jobs. Career Connection has actually been doing what they do so well for the past 17 years, headed up by their founder Lisa Miller, with some help from her great team, and they have seen amazing results!

They were kind enough to let me be a part of a recruiting panel last night, and I have to tell you that the people I encountered were amazing -- pure joy -- people who are taking initiative in their career search -- genuinely great people.

There are times as a Recruiter where the candidates I work with inspire me to do my job better, work harder, and keep my focus on the bottom line of what I do (and the initial reason why I chose this profession) -- helping match people with great jobs. The group last night did exactly that.

Thanks for a great evening at Career Connection -- a shout out to my new friends that I met afterward!
