Featured question and answer of the day:
Mary Ellen Slayter: Brad, why don't you tell us a little about what inspired you to write your book?
Brad Karsh: As someone who had read more than 10,000 resumes and interviewed 1,000 people, I was truly amazed at how much misinformation there was about getting hired.
"Confessions of a Recruiting Director" tells the untold story of what actually happens inside a recruiting department.
_______________________
Washington, D.C.: What's the appropriate way to state that you are leaving your current position because of a change in management? We have a new company structure that has changed my job and I'm beginning to look elsewhere, but I don't want this to be held against me at interviews (if I get them). I've been here almost six months.
Mary Ellen Slayter: I don't think you need to go into that at all. No one really wants to hear it.
Of course, six months is not a long time to be at a job, so unless they drastically cut your pay or something, you might want to stick it out a few more months while you start networking and researching other opportunities.
Brad Karsh: I agree completely. Even if management changed, even if your boss was a complete jerk, or even if your coworkers were evil, an interview with a new company should be all about the positives and what you can do for them.
