New Year… New Recruiter?

target="_blank">RecruiterGuy here… I thought long and hard about what my first blog post of

the year would be. I thought long and hard about what direction I would take with blogging and

micro-blogging and audio-blogging and yes – even video blogging this year.

And I said

to myself, “RecruiterGuy,” (that’s what I call myself) “Don’t

kick off your New Year blogging with a long and verbose promise about how you’ll blog this year.

Don’t simply post all the job titles that you’ll be hiring for, all the locations that you’ll

be working in, and the usual verbiage about the benefits and competitive wages. Nay,

target="_blank">RecruiterGuy,” (still talking to myself here, right?)

“Keep it real

this year. Post, dear self, about what everyone else is dreading.. denying.. even neglecting.

Post about your resolutions for 2008!”

So here they are… RecruiterGuy’s professional

and personal New Year resolutions for 2008.

RECRUITERGUY’S RESOLUTIONS

• Every Sunday – Call a different friend or family member, just to talk. (when you run

  out – just cycle through the list… or go make new friends to bug each 7th day of the

  week.)

• Treat my body as well as I treat my classic sports

  car. Example: Better fuel in equals better performance.

• Perform 150 weight/strength

  training sessions and 150 cardio/misc. sessions by end of year.

• Make an attempt to speak

  my wife’s primary and secondary

  target="_blank">love language every day.

• Have a minimum of 52 “Game Nights” with my

  daughters.

• Take my guitar playing seriously.
• Take FULL advantage of Google and MS Office and target="_blank">Blackberry software to simplify and organize my life.
• Get my music

  library in tip-top shape.

• Blog once a day.

Okay –

so for better or worse, there they are. I’ve been thinking about them for a few months, err..

weeks…. okay! I just gave them some serious thought last night! GEEZ!
Regardless – these

are goals that I think are attainable. These are items that over the last year I made enough

comments to myself about that they stood out enough in my 11:45pm note scribbling frenzy to get

some resolutions documented. (Because if you make them AFTER 12am on 1/1 they don’t count,

right?)

So here we go. Into 2008. I am RecruiterGuy

2.0!
