Recruiting Animal » Cora Mae on Cold Calls
The other day I saw a posting by Greg Savage on Recruitingblogs.com. It was called: The Golden Rule of Cold Calls. Don't.
That prompted me to post a transcript of my interview with James Bowmer on Recruitingblogs.com. It's called Hot Tips From A Cold Call Machine.
Ironically, both of these guys are CEO's of successful recruiting firms and both of them are Australian. There is one difference though: Greg's article got a number of approving comments and Jimmy's got none – until Cora Mae Lengeman came along.
Cora is a very successful solo headhunter. Her comments (slightly edited) are below:
From: Recruitingblogs.com, Cora Mae Lengeman, May 18, 2012
You simply have to pick up the telephone and make the calls, knowing that each no is getting you closer to a yes.
Cold calls for finding new clients are fun. I love sorting the companies that will be my sourcing …

Recruiting Animal » How an adult acts
From: How To Grow Up, Pam Weintraub, Psychology Today, May 1, 2012
Being an adult means:
- standing on your own two feet

Recruiting Animal » Selection While Hormoned
From: Psychology Today, Why Do the Wrong Men Feel So Right? – Vinita Mehta, May 16, 2012 (edited)
Women face a vexing choice between two types of men.
Mr. Good Dad is typically more commitment-oriented, warm, faithful, and reliable. Yet he is usually less handsome, less charismatic , and less dominant.
Mr. Sexy Cad may be better-looking, he also tends to be flashy and exploitative of others. Such men also display a host of traits that lean toward Machiavellianism, psycopathy, and narcissism.
There’s a problem, however.
When a woman is near ovulation she comes under the sway of hormonal fluctuations that make the attractive, charming, unreliable men irresistible.
Their deep voices, symmetrical and masculine faces, competitiveness, and social dominance have the power to make ovulating women swoon.
Here’s why.
Greater facial symmetry, masculinity, and social dominance tell her that a man has good genes which can be passed down to their …

Recruiting Animal » How to make an enemy a friend
Not Like This
From: American's Nastiest Blood Feud – Gary Wills, NYRB
It began with their very first recorded meeting, in 1953. Lyndon Johnson came into the Senate cafeteria for his customary breakfast there. He was trailing his entourage, radiating his power as minority leader.
He passed the table of Senator Joseph McCarthy, who was sitting near the entrance with three or four staffers, including a newcomer to his team, twenty-seven-year-old Robert Kennedy, who had just got this job through the influence of his father, a McCarthy supporter.
Johnson knew about that arrangement, as he did all the things that went on in “his” Senate. Johnson had mocked Joe Kennedy all over town and despised Joe McCarthy as a loose cannon in the Senate. He also did not think much of the newly elected senator John Kennedy, whom he would soon be calling a sickly absentee from the Senate and …

JibberJobber Blog » Candidates Aren’t The Only Ones Who Exaggerate
This is a guest post from Will Kerr, who lives in the UK. Enjoy the language and spelling. It’s cool to get his perspective from “across the pond” on something I hadn’t heard about before, but it makes a lot of sense.
It should go without saying that, in order to stand any sort of chance at landing a job
by responding to an ad, you’re going to have to pay close attention to the language
it uses, and write up your cover letter and CV to make sure they chime with the tone
used by your potential employers.
However, as well as using the ad’s wording to try and discern how to most effectively
sell yourself, you should analyse it to see how the job is being sold to you. After all,
a job ad is an advert, and just like any other advert, it’s wise not to …

JibberJobber Blog » Happy Birthday JibberJobber! 6 Years Old!
Today we celebrate our six year birthday/anniversary.
The last six years have been a roller-coaster ride… it has been extremely fast, with highs and lows (although none of the lows were like the lows in my job search).
When I realized the idea for this online job search organizer I got a second chance at a career. I was depressed, my job search was going nowhere, I was losing hope, and didn’t see any end in sight.
Then, this idea came, I pursued it, and we launched JibberJobber.com on May 15, 2006. It was going to be a side project while I pursued my hunt for my dream job.
The hunt failed, though. Here’s a list of some things we’ve done in the last six years:
- Continued to focus on the product for the user for the last 6+ years. We’ve always had a long list of things to do …
