I’m happy to share that I have started as a Technical Recruiter at DASH2! Excited to join the team and see what the future holds!

Part of the DASH2 crew got out for a few pre-work MTB laps today. Tons of fun!! Nate Green Kimber Gabryszak Gary Clews #mtb #teambuilding #culture #recruiting #staffing #parkcity #utah #dash2

As a #recruiter at DASH2 parsing through LinkedIn profiles, starting at the bottom is just standard operating procedure. Not only do we see your #education, when your #career started, your #tenure, and your #trajectory, but also the #intangibles nicely outlined in this article (quick worthwhile read I promise!). So, what makes you #YOU? How are you #different? What kind of a person are you and what kind of team or company #culture should I find for you? What will bring you #fulfillment? Job seekers, are you including your first job (yes even if it's slinging burgers) to your LinkedIn? If you've deleted them trying to "look more professional", think again. FWIW, I'm more likely to reach out to someone that's not **only** #qualified but might also be interesting or #different or have a cool #background story, etc. Hmm. I need to go add pizza making to my background. BRB... #recruiting #staffing #personality #StarterJobsMatter #FirstJob #professional #BeInteresting #TheFullStory #StandOut

Today's topic: #NETWORKING! Why? How? When? **WHY** For one example, I talk to candidates all day every day and often hear: "I'm applying everywhere but can't get a callback", or "Unless I know someone, my resume doesn't see the light of day." While you CAN get interviews from applying, it's harder; it's helpful to have someone on the inside / a trusted referral / quality recruiter 😉. And this is where your #network comes in! **HOW** A few steps to get started on LinkedIn: • Connect with people you already know - current and prior coworkers, friends, neighbors, people in your pickleball or running or parenting group... • If you meet someone at an event and click, connect with them. • Pull up your list of connections and see who you haven't talked to in a while. Ask them how they are doing, get news, offer to be of help. (Do this all via text too, for people outside LinkedIn. Will go miles in your personal relationships.) Note: this is key, there are NO expectations on these #relationships! NO quid-pro-quo. Just be the kind of person that YOU want in your network: someone who cares about others, the #GoGiver way. Maybe you can help them, maybe down the road they can help you, but there's no expectation. But if you don't have a network at all? You won't even have the option. And finally, **WHEN** This is easy: NOW! OFTEN! TODAY! It can take years to build a good network, but that's ok. In 6 mo, you may need that intro at a job, in 5 years might want advice on an interview or help changing careers. Or you might be that person for them! Regardless, start today and keep it up. Your homework: reach out to five people and let me know how it goes.
