When you leave college, there are thousands of people who have the same level as you. When you find a job, there will be thousands of people doing what you want to do. But you are the only one who lives to have the only one who has custody of his life. – Anna Quindlen

Yesterday was a difficult day. It was both my wife’s birthday and the day Hurricane Helen hit Asheville, North Carolina. I’ve shared an article in the feed and I’ll share it here too.
A year ago, on September 27, 2024, I woke up early. After a few days of rain, it was clear (very) early in the morning. My wife came home from a resort in Arizona and was with me. The day before, I picked her up at the airport, and there were stalled trucks on the highway and the road was flooded.
At around 11 a.m., the storm began and gradually got worse. Later that day, electricity was lowered, and if the trees fell down and the power lines were down, this could have happened in Asheville. We watched the water pouring out around our home. My wife said, “Look!” It was a rapid influx of water that had never been seen on the fence line.
We had an electric stove so we couldn’t cook and the new propane grill was supposed to arrive that day, but delivery was cancelled. Dinner is something in the refrigerator. After all, if the power is broken for any length of time.
The next day, we ventured to see the consequences of the storm. The power supply is still off. No internet. I have a gas filled with air tanks so we could drive to see if any shops open locally. No. We drove west and met some people in the town 15 miles away who told us that the supermarket was open, but only took the cash. I looked at my wallet. $50. I’ve filled the car but haven’t thought about cash. mistake.
In the store’s parking lot is a horror show, an appetizer of horror inside – lines on the register entangled along the back of the store. Imagine you are in one box, Costco’s production line is heading back to another aisle. You have $50 and you have to buy the jar because at least your can opener is manual.
The town was powerless for weeks. We do not have any kind of water through the pipe for 54 days. We will bring multiple 3-calorie cans to fill the spots and drag them home to be able to drink water.
We survived hell. I know a lot of people who die in the storm. He and his dog were swept over and drove to the roof of the house on a 30-foot-high wall of water. That’s three-story water. People help each other. A year later, the recovery is still underway. For many, they are rougher than my wife and I.
I share this because many of you, many of you, many of you loved, many of you who you helped at work, or many of you who worked with you in the past, need help.
Services can help in some ways, but they also need you.
Open your network.
Point them to someone you know who doesn’t know who can help them.
If you receive a message from someone, please reply. Don’t be a ghost. The people you know need your help, just like my town a year ago.
You are lucky to be at work. You may need another person’s help in the future.
If you want to connect with me and access my LinkedIn network, please contact me and say in your message Asheville requires a connection. And if you do that and then try to sell me something, I will stop you immediately, so don’t waste your time.
Stop leaving money on the table: Why top recruiters are secret weapons in today’s job market
Let’s chase: Good recruiters are definitely worth it Recruitment companies pay for finding talents. If you take your career seriously, you need to work with one person. But don’t just catch beginners. The difference between amateurs and professionals is the difference between a frustrating dead end and landing to change the trajectory.
You need one Competent, experienced professionals Who can truly master your skills, your career goals, and your unique value proposition. They will give you The truth without change About your position in the current job market – even if it’s a tough pill. Honesty is gold.
The Edge of Modern Recruiters: Access, Networking and Filtering
What do top recruiters offer you today?
1. Unrivaled visit: They are gatekeepers. A good recruiter has already established advanced relationships with organizations you can never build. They give you Go directly For companies and roles, it’s much higher than your solo effort.
2. Their network is net worth: After years of going through this game, I can tell you that it’s still about the people you know, who them Know people you don’t know. They are not only connected; Eavesdropping pulse Industry or field. When I search, it’s easier for me to call people or reply to emails the same day than the average job seeker. The reason for the rich network exists is that I am paid by the employer to fill my duties. This creates a continuous, trustworthy relationship that puts me in a unique position to advocate for someone.
3. The ultimate time saving (for everyone): As a professional recruiter, my job is to be fully consistent with the needs, culture and requirements of my institutional clients with the right people. For them, I’m a high Filtration system This saves countless hours and directly translates into saving money. For you, Hunter, this means you no longer waste time interviewing because you are never really a suitable role.
“Bad Date” Rules: Understand the balance of recruiters
Understanding the dynamic is crucial: Recruiters work first for employers and then serve you. They are the customers who pay the bills. My ultimate responsibility is Balancing individual needs with institutional clients’ needs.
If I pin a square into a round hole (if I match you with a character that might fail), it would be like a bad date or a hurry marriage. It ended quickly with an awkward divorce. This is not good for everyone. When I set out to make one Strong, long-term fitMy clients are back, and successful people eventually handed over their talented friends to me. This is a good business.
How to Witt your secret weapon
You need a recruiter with a high level and you need to have a real grasp of your field or niche. Here’s the way you find the right one:
-
Request recommendation (old style): Start with your network. Ask people: “Who helped you find the job you are working in now? What is that recruiter like? Are they looking like a bad salesperson, or are they pushing for convenient roles, or are they really really Listen to your needs and goals?“You want someone to show upright And ask you What your The demand is.
-
Scan the digital landscape: look LinkedInprofessional working committees and industry news. Who has always been outstanding in your field? Reach out your hand and take a moment to talk to them.
-
Evaluation dialogue: Pay attention to the process. They asked him, are you exploring the problem? Do they sound like they know about a specific corner of your market? This simple conversation is your first interview them.
-
Sometimes, they may not have time to have a conversation. be patient. The fact that they are busy is a good sign.
Your job search is a collaborative effort
I am no Say you leave everything to the recruiter. No one or agent can do it all. Recruiting people – agencies, headhunters, and even me, about 22% of all positions in the United States. This is a huge part, but leaves 78% in other methods.
You must be Actively market yourself Work with top recruiters at the same time. By combining your efforts with access and networking from professionals, you can position your solo in the market in ways that cannot be achieved.
Don’t go alone when you have an experienced partner in your corner.
