Share After spending 11 plus years in the recruiting business, I’ve learned that the majority of corporate and consulting jobs have to go through a recruiter. So whether you like it or not, the recruiter who advertises and/or manages the job you are applying for is the gatekeeper to the hiring manager.

Share Part of my new recruiting role is to participate in job fairs as a way to attract and interview candidates to fill our openings across the US and Canada.  It amazes me how people’s preparation or lack thereof makes them desirable or undesirable in the first 5 minutes of the interview.
