Learn from Recruiters

Learn from Recruiters Not only is Danielle Powers a Recruiter, she is also a savvy business development professional.   She recently posted a comment here and her message is very strong, so I am referencing it here: I send out hundreds of educational and relevant letters, make phones calls, follow up emails etc   to receive a handful of responses .   Then I go one step further and explain in terms they (the job seeking client) can understand that I send out 200 letters get 10 potential connections and 2 true business opportunities and then say now how many jobs are you applying to weekly, what networking, company research and follow up steps are you making?   Bottom line, good things come from hard work and being persistant and CONSISTENT in your efforts. This is really about taking your search seriously.    Job search  is riddled with rejection.   That is part of the game, so develop tough skin. We need to learn from others, watch what they are doing and try and adapt for ourselves.   Recruiters, such as Danielle, have a good perspective.   Learn from them, and remember, like anything else we do in life, get multiple perspectives and ask WHY.
