Well, making the right match. And knowing that you've given the client exactly what
they want or as close to a match as you can, and helping someone get into a new job that's
going to better their career, their family, their community. I think it's a win-win for
everybody.
If you think of Cinderella and you think about her step-sisters and they're squeezing and
squeezing, trying to get their foot into that glass slipper. And it's just not meant to
be. They're not the right fit. But Cinderella - it just goes right in there. It's a great
fit. Because it's hers. So the ideal fit is really striving for just getting it right.
Making sure we get it right the first time.
I didn't realize how people take things so literally, especially on the applicant side.
I asked somebody once what their greatest asset was in prepration for them to interview
for a job, and they said, My car. And I'm thinking no, I didn't mean it that way. Think
of yourself and what you can offer a company. So that was surprising. People lie. They just,
you know, they make misrepresentations on their resume. They say they have degrees and
when you challenge them on it, when you've checked and you find out they don't really
have a degree, they say, Well, but I deserved it, because I did the work, I just didn't
finish. And they have to understand that that's not good. That's not going to get them the
job, it won't get them a promotion, they might even lose their job if it's discovered. So
we actually have to coach people today which is crazy that you have to coach people today
on being truthful on your work history, the dates that you worked, if you, you know, had
any trouble with the law to just come clean with it because we're going to find out anyway
when we check.
