THIS IS HOW THE MAGNET ROLLS





























Every once in a while, I like to share a little bit about what makes me tick... It is always wild when i meet candidates who were expecting to meet a very different person. People have a perception of my personality, what I look like & are often very surprised. It is curious & flattering that candidates I meet have as many questions about me as they do about the career opportunities I am presenting.














To further "paint a picture" - I will tell you I am a hard-core life long fan of HIP-HOP & RAP music. It dates back to The Sugar Hill Gang, LL Cool J, RUN-DMC, Tribe Called Quest, The Beastie Boys and other pioneers.


"I AM A KING LIKE CO-RETTA...COUNTIN MORE CHEDDAR" - LUDACRIS











I always viewed the lyrics as poetry - set to amazing/driving beats...despite the fact that I am a white Jewish guy from Rockland County & could not necesarily relate to tales from the hood - I fell in love with the culture & remain a big fan.














This is why it was such an amazing experience for me to attend a recent concert featuring JAY-Z & MARY J. BLIGE.














I have included some pics for your amusement...

The quality of the network you build hinges on MEANINGFUL/PERSONAL relationships you develop over time that require LIVE HUMAN CONTACT. This is not to say that social media "pen pals" cannot prove to be a valuable asset -- but they are not as powerful as relationships built in the REAL WORLD that are carried into the social media space. Conversely, there is opportunity to develop a social media connection into a me

DO YOU THINK THE RECESSION IS OVER?

So...I guess we can all breathe a sigh of relief...according to the "experts"; we are coming out of the recession! Economists and leaders of industry are appearing on all types of news programs, websites and publications - declaring the end of this economic struggle. Apparently, some of the banks the government gave billions to - are beginning to show signs of stabilizing. In addition, "PRODUCTION" numbers look to be on the rise. However...UNEMPLOYMENT remains HIGH...and NEW CLAIMS are continuing to increase. The nearly 14 month period of DOWNSIZING, LAY-OFFS, RESTRUCTURING has resulted in the WORST JOB MARKET IN NEARLY 30 years! Yes...it does appear that the FIRING has slowed considerably. Unfortunately, companies have not yet begun to HIRE at a rate that will put even the slightest dent in joblessness. For the past year; I have received approximately 200 resumes/day from candidates that are out of work. The jobs that were eliminated were NOT specific to a particu
