There are two ways to approach dissatisfaction: passively or actively.

Passive dissatisfaction most commonly involves complaining about something, but not doing much to change or transform the situation. It’s pretty much saying “This sucks, but it’s just the way it is.”

We will share these over the coming weeks and encourage RD readers to keep them coming. The following was sent to us anonymously, but I am sure we all can agree you are only good as the questions you ask. And sometimes even that is not enough;

A candidate of mine, recently moved back home to Florida and was temporarily living with his parents. He expressed interest in relocating to the greater Chicago area. After nailing down the specifics around his qualifications, his desired salary, etc. the only detail remaining was Josh’s family situation – if he was married, in a relationship, if he had children, etc. Since topics such as marital status, family situation, age, etc. are things we can’t ask by law, I asked if there were any other factors or circumstances that would influence his job search. He answered no so I began my search. Continue reading “Tales From The Cold Call: When Working Under Assumptions”
