Find The Right Employees, The First Time

As always, on Uniqueness is Power, we have a heavy hitting lineup of information ready for you.  Lee and Andy open the show by addressing how the current marketplace can make you a fortune if you approach it the right way and with the right attitude.  As much as there are businesses in trouble, there are also plenty of businesses succeeding.  That 7.5% Unemployment rate?  How about the positive converse – the 92.5% EMPLOYMENT rate?  We talk good business and common sense about how to move forward in these times where many will fail.  If you want your business to succeed in 2009 and beyond, take a listen to the opening of this show – you may find some encouragement, frank and honest assistance and more that help you rise above and grow beyond the tough time.  You can’t sit on the sideline, waiting for a sign the recession is over.

Our guest, Barb Giamanco of Talent Builders is a seasoned professional  in talent building and getting hiring right the first time.  Join us as we discuss how the current job pool makes things both easier and tougher for the recruiters and the applicants.  Get down to earth with solid advice on what to look for, what to keep in mind and how to find the job you really both want and deserve.  “It has to be right for you and for them,” says Giamanco, to applicants.  “I see people giving into a fear mentality and throwing their resume at anything to see if it will stick.”  Simply put, says Giamanco, “that won’t end well, and you may derail your career path.  Have a plan.”  We also cover how to handle networking, why you should always build your network, and how to plan to make sure a sudden “disengagement” with your company doesn’t cost you.

Tune in next week as we speak with Ruth King, from On the Ribbon and the Profitability Channel.
