“Yes,
both time and resources. I have always been involved in
Volunteer work from childhood; it has been an important part
of my life. Throughout my business career I have
volunteered; Charity Drives, Fund Raising, and as a Consumer
Advocate for Children's Health and Safety Issues and Women's
Issues. I also started and head up a Statewide breed
specific Dog Rescue Program. I have sat on a number of
Boards for Health, Arts, Education and Social Development
Programs.”
“No”
“I donate ten percent
to various charities as well as donate my time to helping
the homeless and services the help improve educations of
the less fortunate. Also active in Rotary (which is also a
good networking opportunity)
"Do you find that
charity work is important to your success; a precursor to
success or out of gratitude of your success?"
“ Charity work is good
for ones soul, mind and life. Understanding your position
in the world and your obligation to the world keeps
everything in perspective. Putting personal labor and
effort into a team effort to solve a problem, improve a
bad situation or prevent a problem returns so much to you
upon accomplishment; personal satisfaction, joy and a
sense of community. Because I have been involved in
Charity work from a very young age I'd have to say that it
has definitely impacted my success and outlook. I learned
many lessons in working with others and how to work around
potential pitfalls when attempting to solve problems. My
personal drive to achieve and succeed in my life come from
deep within; I was able to see how my efforts contributed
to helping others as a child and it still spurs me on now.”
“No”
“Yes, it's important to
me – probable more out of Gratitude of my successes.
It gives that Work-Life Balance we as recruiters hear some
much about from our candidates.
"What other
personal characteristics do you attribute to your success
in recruiting?"
Drive, passion, fear and
personal desire are all contributing factors. A natural
competitiveness, a need to achieve and the fact that I
hate to lose pushes me on and I have a fear of failure. My
sense of humor and of the ridiculous also keeps things in
perspective. Recruiting fits my personality and
temperament; it's a good match because I can use my
abilities and talents to help others and earn as much
money as I want. My curious nature drives me in doing
research and asking questions, as well as moving into new
business markets. My love of a challenge enables me to
take on tough personalities or searches and allows me to
bounce back from rejection. I personally thrive under
stress and like the adrenaline rush of recruiting. It all
works for me.
“Drive, desires and
life-style. The ability to network well”
“Fear of poverty and
what poverty exposes, desire to help others rise up, the
desire to help companies find the best people to create
new products and services
“We must not, in
trying to think about how we can make a big difference,
ignore the small daily differences we can make which, over
time, add up to big differences that we often cannot
foresee.” - Marian Edelman (lobbyist on behalf of
children)
