I want to take this opportunity to thank all you loyal readers of my blog and followers on Twitter. It's been a helluva year. In many ways I'm glad to see it go. From a business perspective, it was (hopefully) the worst economic climate that any of us will ever have to negotiate in our careers. I know I'm glad to still be standing. The statistics about how many retained recruiters went out of business this past year are just scary. I also realize that way too many of you lost your job this past year. My hope is that something that I share might be of assistance to you in finding that next killer opportunity.
I learned a great deal this year and I hope grew both professionally and personally. I want to think that I contributed to the careers of others who I recruited for opportunities that they didn't know existed. I believe I helped my clients grow and feel wonderful about being able to provide a valuable service to them. I've become friends with many of my candidates, which is always one of the best perks of this profession.
I've made an effort to give back to others through my work with REBUS and MAPSS, this blog and through sharing thoughts and articles through Twitter. I've received enough positive feedback on all those efforts to know that I'm going to continue them into the future.
If you're not following me on Twitter, I encourage you to do so @HeadhunterBob. I share thoughts on marketing trends and issues, recruiting, the retention of employees, and corporate leadership issues affecting corporate culture.
My best wishes to you for a spectacular Holiday Season, and a very Happy and Healthy New Year!
