Well done, KitKat, well done...

Feeling the love today 💖 So thankful to be a part of such a supportive team that encourages me to be the best version of myself. When I first accepted this job as a Staffing Recruiter, I wasn't sure what to expect. Throughout my career as an internal recruiter I was told the grind wouldn't be for me, or I wouldn't like the fast pace because I wouldn't have an opportunity to connect with my candidates. Fast forward one year and I can honestly say, I'm the best Recruiter I've ever been. I use tools and sourcing methods that internal recruiting peers only talked about, but never put into practice. My candidates appreciate the time I take to understand their skill sets, explain the job, and pipeline them for future roles. And I just LOVE working across multiple industries! It also doesn't hurt that everchanging priorities (sometimes by the hour), compliments my ADHD and short attention span. *Oooo something new and shiny!!!* This goes to show you that just because someone thinks something is undesirable for THEM and makes a quick judgement about YOU, doesn't mean they are right or that you will feel the same way. Sometimes, you gotta see for yourself. I'm so happy I did. Cheers to One Year 🥂 Did you know we're hiring?? Join my team as a Staffing Manager or Recruiter and let's reach new heights TOGETHER! #appreciation #anniversary #werehiring Jan A. Davis 〰 Edwin Soriano 〰 Diane Catalan 〰 Luis Mendoza

The accuracy of this is hilarious.

Wow—- this is kind of crazy. You have to watch until the end. I hope we can break this cycle but I get it. I too probably would go to friends and colleagues over my mom for these types of questions. I got to her with bigger life questions and advice: My mom tends to come to me with the tech questions. I think this changes with exposure. Just the other day my girls were home while I was working and I was going through resumes to hire someone. I let them click on the buttons to open the resumes, select the drop downs to take the next step. Clearly I’m making the decisions but I explained what I was doing and looking for. They got a peek at a small portion of what I do in my role. Fast forward a few days later at the dinner table—-they had made laptops and phones with paper and markers. When I asked what they were doing they said “hiring and firing people”. They interviewed my mom for the job and she helped them with what questions to ask. I’ll tell you if they are the future of business I hope to work for them one day—- their flexible schedules and high pay are where it’s at!!! This is what change looks like. Getting it into their minds that moms do other things than just “mom things”. And yes I still hope they ask me for recipes one day! How are you changing what the role of a “mom” looks like? #womenintech #momswhowork

Yesterday was one of those days that remind me why I love what I do. The morning started rough, like it often does in the world of sales. But then, something amazing happened. My colleague, Ilija, recognized my efforts and nominated me for Employee of the Year! His message, filled with appreciation, turned my day around. Not only we nailed a great demo, but I also scheduled three meetings with Fortune 500 companies! This experience made me think on two things: Believe in Yourself: Even on tough mornings, remember why you started. Your determination and hard work are your most valuable assets. The Power of Team Belief: It’s one thing to believe in yourself, but having a team that believes in you is a game-changer. It boosts your morale and pushes you to achieve more than you thought possible. Ilija, thank you for your support – it means a lot!

A good team always support you to achieve your goals
