It’s an old maxim: Givers get. And it’s especially true when job hunting.
Our Silicon Valley recruiter, Dave Lloyd, confirms this.
“Last year, I was trying to fill a supply chain management position for a computer firm, so I contacted an industry association to see who they would recommend.
“Everyone I talked to told me the same thing: call Joe Jones in Houston. It seems Joe had organized an online forum for job seekers and was helping a lot of other folks in the process. His name was well-known among industry leaders – we offered Joe the job,” says Lloyd.
