Hi guys, Time to have a quick chat. It has been 6 months now that I've quit my job and that I've taken my time to think about the future and future job opportunities. Jobhunting is a fulltime occupation. I've been hunting for sales, HR functions all over the place; been invited for job interviews; got proposals. But until now no good news yet. This morning something happened and I need to share this with you. I had  been invited by a very special person. We've been in contact since a week or two and from the beginning I had a good feeling with this person. We talked over the phone. She asked me a number of questions regarding my professional goals, ideal job and current/future situation. After listening carefully she proposed me a vacancy with all the right features and characteristics. That same day she confirmed me that she was going to introduce me to the HR officer of the recruiting company. The emails she was sending me were all short and to the...

Hi guys and girls , I've been reading some articles on e-recruitment. As you all know I am (again) looking for a new job. Recently I had a very interesting call with a recruiter from a big international logistics company. They are hiring a recruitment manager. During the interview we had a conversation on e-recruitment and how to attract and hire talented candidates for various functions. I mentioned to the very enthusiastic lady on the phone that there are some important prerequisites that can help your company to attract the most talented candidates.  We talked about the employer/CEO branding and the importance of being an attractive company where people would like to work and be part of the family.   'What makes a company attractive', 'what makes you stand out of the crowd' are the questions a company needs to ask itself on a daily basis. Is it the product or service, the work environment, the vision and mission strategy? Tell and communicat...

Dear readers, A lot of articles I read nowadays are focussing on how to find a job when you're over 45. But what about the millennials or echo boomers (named after their parents, the babyboomers)?  These youngsters (born between the eighties and the early 2000s) are digitally native general enjoy living and working in the cities. According to wikipedia  some employers are concerned that Millennials have too great expectations from the workplace. Some studies predict they will switch jobs frequently, holding many more jobs than Gen Xers due to their great expectations. Newer research shows that Millennials change jobs for the same reasons as other generations—namely, more money and a more innovative work environment. They look for versatility and flexibility in the workplace, and strive for a strong  work–life balance  in their jobs and have similar career aspirations to other generations, valuing financial security and a di...

Dear friends, Today is the first day with lot's of sunshine, I am enjoying a few days of work. A lot going on at the moment.  My boss is leaving the company. I've got mixed feelings about his departure; on the one hand I am happy for him. On the other hand pitty for our team. Our boss was generous, kind, gentle and our biggest supporter. He was the boss who always took the blame and covered our backs on several occassions. He literally was a soft cushion between the management and our team . The management estimated him as too soft towards his team. Not capable to enforce the necessary actions that could lead to more results and more success.  What did we miss in our boss or did we miss out on something? Reading the book of Richard Koch 'the successful boss's first 100 days', I again realise how challenging this job can be. How important it is to invest in your team, company and clients. And how crucial it is to prepare and take the necessary actions in t...

This one I want to share with you on my blog. Enjoy.
