Jumpin' Johnny Hollon and St Jimmy duke it out over posting.
You may think I'm dead wrong, but your response is remarkably simplistic and narrow... Other than the spelling of my name, did you get anything right from my post? I hope your work as a recruiter was more successful than your accuracy as a blogger. -- John HollonI’m just working with what you gave me. I'll leave it to the readers to decide if my analysis of your column was accurate. I wrote it, because all too often job-seekers get terrible advice from columnists. Taking a break on your job search because some people give up over the holidays is bad advice.
Should recruiters not work at lunchtime because people are focused on eating? Should we not work after 4:00 p.m. because managers are thinking of picking up their kids?
That's what average recruiters do. Great recruiters, and highly motivated job-seekers, don't let what average people do determine their success.
