A successful candidate has to work harder and be better than they had to be a year ago.<BR/><BR/>Now there are often 150 candidates for a position and still only one position. Currently, I have chosen to limit my aid to people who are willing to present themselves well enough to make the top 15 candidates for the listed job, preferably top 5 candidates. <BR/><BR/>I hope that these comments help.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04112131448599926289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28220200.post-52684424640894397922008-07-22T09:10:00.000-06:002008-07-22T09:10:00.000-06:00As to the commenter who claims to be dissatisfied....As to the commenter who claims to be dissatisfied.

I have had this address for years. <BR/><BR/>Most of my business email currently, however, goes through the gmail address because gmail is better at blocking spam and at not being a spam target. It is also better at allowing me to categorize the incoming mail.<BR/><BR/>I do not have a web site because there does not seem to be a need. This is not an advertising business but a one on one business with confidentiality on both sides and no advertising. In some sense, these are the jobs that never get to Monster.com until after they are filled.<BR/><BR/>As to 'motivated', I am working under the assumption that if a person does not have the motivation to contact me directly (by phone or email)to find out more, then they do not have the motivation to compete effectively for a job. This assumption may not be true all the time but usually is.<BR/><BR/>P.S. I had an unanticipated call yesterday. The caller had 10 jobs available, in sensitive spectroscopy and alternative energy, around the country. I expect to fill these jobs within a month.<BR/><BR/>P.P.S.
