Tales From The Cold Call: This Ever Happen To You?
So we have established that in some areas I am still an old school recruiter at heart. With discussions of the use of social media and advancements in technology, I still make it a point to keep a traditional cold calling block in my weekly schedule. Yes- it is at times a task of simply flipping over stones, but there are times where it is certainly worth my while. So in the past I have posted some tips on how to make this task a bit more bearable, but today I encountered another (perhaps not so uncommon) hurdle.
I was just wrapping up my morning block and was leaving a message with a gatekeeper that seemed less than enthused in taking my message. There were a number of “yes’s” and I think even one ‘yep’, but I got the strong sense the individual was simply going through the motions. Needless to say I had little faith that my message would be delivered to my contact. So I decided the moment after I hung up to dial that office again. Sure enough I had the same individual answer. I mentioned I had just called and thought I may had inadvertently left the wrong contact number in my message. I asked the individual to repeat the contact number back to me to correct, and sure enough there was silence. Proof that not only was my message and contact information not written down, but that my call was a waste of time.

10 Paying College Jobs That Look Good on Your Résumé »
It may be hard to find a job, but that won’t be a good excuse for a slim résumé when you’re sitting across from a recruiter next year.

RecruitingDaily Training Tip: Time Management
Successful sales people (the BIG billers) are experts at MANAGING THEIR TIME. They come in everyday ready to go and make things happen. One key trait is time organization and planning. Here is a recent training session where we went over the best practices for the recruiting workday:
Following are suggestions for making the most of your work day.
FIRST THING (15 minutes)
· Get coffee, tea, water, etc., and get settled
· Read Email
· Check Voice Mail
· View Pipeline of Activity
· Before you make ANY calls, take a few minutes to make a list of your TOP priorities for the day.
· Work closest to the placement (bottom of the pipeline) and plan your day accordingly.
PRIORITIZE your calls…
1. PENDING PLACEMENTS, INTERVIEWS, PHONE INTERVIEWS
· Your first priority should be activity at the bottom of the pipeline – follow up on your pending deals, interviews, phone interviews, prep calls, debrief calls, etc.
· Confirm interviews (date, time, directions, travel)
· Prep (review the job, key people they will meet, attire, etc.) — see prep form / checklist
· Debrief (how did it go, what did you like, not like, next steps, etc.) – see debrief form / checklist

Attending the University of California, Santa Barbara, was a blast. And while my Alma mater constantly receives notoriety for being a “party school”, I was fortunate to see impressive academic accomplishments during my tenure too; especially, green with the Donald Bren Center (www.bren.ucsb.edu), and perhaps most impressive the accomplishments in the Nanotechnology space (www.nanotech.ucsb.edu).
