Frank Linkedin expert providing advertising for CPAS and B2... 1d. Edited The other day, I interviewed a potential manager to work with my company. He requested to be paid $40 an hour to which I replied, "The most I pay anyone initially is $20 until I can trust them". He then went on to tell me about his depth of experience and how he is not in the 'try out' phase of his life anymore. Then, he hung up. When I was 24, I worked 20-40 hours a week as an intern with no pay. I learned more than any high paying job could have taught me. Furthermore, my experience opened the door to so many incredible opportunities that I could not have gotten otherwise.

There's more to that story

Tom Gimbel • 1st Founder, CEO LaSalle Network | 12 x Inc 5000 13h A while back, I interviewed someone who had a really good resume. It was an enjoyable conversation. They said they had heard really good things about our company and the quality of people that worked here. They declined an offer and said it was because they didn't want to work as hard as they understood LaSallians do. I saw they were recently laid off from a company where they didn't have to work as hard. That's the story. 102 10 comments • 1 repost Р Like Comment Repost Send

Listen to your rejection

Nathan Simpson • 3rd+ + Follow Talent Leadership | Tech | Recruitment Training 4d Edited. I just called a candidate to provide interview feedback >>>THEY HUNG UP X When did we stop being human?! This was senior candidate, being given polite, constructive feedback on how they ever so slightly missed out on the job - I didn't' even have a chance to say "if anything changes we could consider offering you the role" - phone down, gone ⑪Talk about burning bridges!? If there's one thing I put A LOT of time and effort into, it's a good candidate experience, even more so since I was made redundant last year (I get it!). I've been told countless times "I've never had such a thorough and welcoming call from a recruiter, thank you". Does that boost my ego? NO. It simply reminds me that I'm doing the right thing and being human. I run intro/screening calls up to 1 hour because I genuinely care about what candidates have to say. Yes my screening questions are important, but so too is finding out wht drives candidates, what progression for them actually means, what's led to their current circumstances and finding out who they are BEYOND the CV. On the flip side, talking passionately about HSOne UK and what we have to offer easily takes up 20 minutes and I'm OK with that because we have such a great story to tell The end. 20191 83 comments • 1 repost

Just because you like dogs/children, there needs to be a separation between that and work.

No vacations, just trips

Jeffrey Pomeranz - 2nd Fractional General Counsel to high- growth companies 2d + Follow I don't take vacations. I take trips. This is the difference: Vacations have an off button. No emails. No phone calls. No work. No OOO message. I haven't sniffed a vacation since opening my firm six years ago. But I do travel. And traveling, especially with my family, requires extra attention to my time. If I want to enjoy the day and be hyper-present with them, then I'm waking up at 4am. Or cranking until the late hours after everyone else has gone to sleep. It's a trade off I embrace. Because the intrinsic value of meaningful experiences far outweighs the associated costs.

No Netflix allowed

Dan Desko Founder & CEO @ Echelon | Cybersecurity Leader | IT Risk & T... 5h Maybe it's my blue-collar Pittsburgh mentality, but I can't imagine sitting on the couch and watching Netflix as a fulfilling life goal. For me (and I think for most human beings), I find meaning in my work, which is why the phrase "work/life balance" never made much sense to me. To me, work and life are braided together. My work feels like a vocation to me, and it's my pride and joy to integrate my work into my life. I feel like I'm serving my higher purpose. There's so much that comprises a meaningful life, and work is just one of many fulfilling avenues to pursue. But if you can figure out the right work/life integration, you're that much closer to finding meaning.
