Ever have back pain? I mean real back pain? I have. I had my first ever surgery in 2006 at the age of 38. Unexpectedly this launched me into some real soul searching and the realization that I wanted more from my life than the high paying Director of Recruitment position that I was working in at the time. Nothing like a little cold hard downtime to help you look inward and see that you may need to make a change. And here I am again, same back issue in 2011. It really came out of nowhere but a winter of more heavy work than I am accustomed to on an aging frame probably was not a good idea. I missed two solid weeks of work in some of the best pain I have ever felt. But, like a gift, it started to slow, weaken, and allow me to move again. This glimmer of hope was confirmed by my surgeon who thinks this time I can get away with less “invasive” treatment. Whew.
This second forced time of reflection also gave me another dose of reality: who is really on your side? If you have ever had a time where you really needed others to help you this is easy to understand. Who is there for you? Not a Facebook post, not a text or instant message, not a voice mail, but really there for you? Not an offer of help, but help. Those are some special people. And they need to be recognized and are often those you will remember most.

I took an example of life and how the sourcing of candidates is very similar to our life. In life, our choices are the keywords and we either choose to go ahead with them OR drop them. Right choices bring expected results and if we do not put them in right order – it all messes up.

Earlier today I was delivering a Boolean Training session for our new members in the sourcing team. My aim was to simplify the Boolean concept for sourcing. Often it is mistaken that “Boolean” is very scientific and relatively tough which is why people tend to ignore. Finally – I found the connection!!! Very simple and life-like (!)…
I took an example of life and how the sourcing of candidates is very similar to our life. In life, our choices are the keywords and we either choose to go ahead with them OR drop them. Right choices bring expected results and if we do not put them in right order – it all messes up.
Sounding familiar to how we build search strings in sourcing?
Let’s look at each Boolean operator
AND
We keep adding many variables into our life to try to make it perfect.
Money AND happiness AND satisfaction AND “work-life balance” AND fun AND adventure AND hobbies.
Very little we realize – more AND’s we put in this search; lesser the results will be.
It’s more important to use combination of these at right times. That is a best way to extract most out of life. Do not restrict your search results!!!
OR
One of the most important operators from the list!!
It is imperative that we look out for alternate options if your desired variable is not available at the particular time. We waste lot of time waiting at something which may not be available. It is better we look for alternative ways to progress.
Work Satisfaction = Money OR passion OR dedication OR enthusiasm OR excellence
We tend to forget that if we excel in what we believe – money will follow!!
Perfect substitute?? 🙂
NOT
Sometimes we need to draw a boundary and should not go beyond our own limits. When you know what you can not compromise on – it’s really easy to filter it out to get your desired results.
Money AND fame AND satisfaction AND love NOT unethical
Even though you say “No Strings Attached”, these strings bind you together as one unit. These variables build your character (read resume) and help you to grow as a mature person (read grow in your career).
All our life we shuffle across various search strings with time and condition using different combination of choices (keywords). Our aim is to get perfect life.
What we forget however is just like “There is no such thing as perfect search string”; you can not have a “Perfect Life”. Learn to use AND, OR and NOT at right time, at right place with right keywords.
Have fun with your search strings!!!!
