one of the companies and hiring authorities i “warm” call every three months or so, presenting an excellent sales candidate, has never called me back…for five or six years…never!
a week ago monday, i leave a message for the hiring athority…(the guy was even a candidate of mine quite a few years ago)…it was a typical monday…hard to get started…and the day never got into any kind of a flow…
at 5:35, the hiring authority calls me and tells me he can see the candidate at 7am the next morning…
great candidate..i call chayson…he says. “where do it go?”…no hemming and hawing…no “well, geez, this is awfully short notice..” or “well…who is it with?”
and that is what i would hear from 98% of the people that think they are serious about looking for a job…NOT!
don’t know if he will get hired..but i called the employer and left a message that chayson would be there and how impressive it was that the guy didn’t hesitate…he figured out how to make it happen…
of course he did well on the first inteview…that kind of sense of urgency is really hard to find…made all those years of calling worth it…
