If you or your firm has the perception or requirement that you have to be able to like' me
in order to do business with me, let me advise you of the following...
First, I believer that there should are many other priorities which should supercede
any need to 'like' me, like knowing my professionalism, my integrity, my values, the scope
of my resources, my effectiveness, the accuracy of my perceptions and judgments, my
timeliness, and ultimately my ability to produce results to your standards, on time and
within your budget.
For the record let me state that : 1. I would never recruit from a firm with whom I have
a relationship to generate candidates.
2. I never, ever go back and contact someone whom I placed with a firm to
induce him or her to leave to go to another employer..
3. I always seek to enhance the businesses with whom I am involved, treating
their people, their resources, and especially their time.. as tho it were my own.
4. Information about the activities which I feel are implicit in my overall practice are to be
found on my website on a link called "What I do and don't do to earn my fee." They are far
too numerous in number to reiterate here. If you are interested.. see the page at
http://www.jobbs.com/employer.html (side panel button )
5. On a personal note. I have been married to the same woman for 47 years, 18 June 2010,
have 4 children, all of whom are grown and live elsewhere, one of whom is married.
6. My office is in my home. When I am awake, I am engaged in reviewing some of the
resumes I receive, running searches on my resume archive, answering some of the more
emails I receive, answering questions from affilliates about candidates I have submitted for their jobs,
forwarding resumes to affilliates across the country, posting jobs to or updating this website,
backing up files, my database, or trying to organize the home into which I moved 20 June 2010,
while being sole caregiver for a dysfunctional wife on medications.
7. I have no secretary, no waiting room, no call screening. I am a man of my word insofar
as possible, and do my best to accomplish what I say that I will do. I keep all communications in
total confidence when asked to do so.
8. I may share your jobspec with candidates whose emails I may have, and whom in my
opinion, have credentials which I feel are a good match with any open job spec for which you
are actively soliciting closely targeted candidates.
9. I am a political conservative, but not a joiner. I am not active in any church,
do not speak at professional nor trade association meetings, do not play golf with my clients,
generally do not venture out to visit with clients face to face, but welcome the opportunity to do that.
10. I recognize that doing business with International firms or those doing business globally
requires a certain sensitivity, and flexibility and believe that I am capable of that.. I over communicate
in efforts to insure that I understand my clients needs, and that I am on track for accurate,
timely and effective completion of objectives which I have been given.
11 I speak fluent Spanish, some French, some German having lived 3 years in Costa Rica.
I am in excellent health, a non-smoker, former snow skier, former power boater, active gardner.
12. My interests include creative writing, chess, gardening, landscaping, and I have travelled over
much of the world having visited 42 countries around the globe. Lastly, I am American born
and bred, never served in the rmed forces, but am a Patriot in every sense of the word, love
my country, my flag, my God, and my family.
If you would like to see the names of other famous people who share my Birthday
you might be at least amused !
I hope this answers most of your questions about me, but should you have any which
I have not addressed, feel free to ask. I look forward to your response, your job specs with
salary targets, and a long and professional and mutually rewarding association.
warmly.... bill griffin
