Networking: Headhunter secrets revealed and how ordinary professionals can learn from it.

Networking: Headhunter secrets revealed and how ordinary professionals can learn from it.

Why other headhunters are so successful in this field while others tend to fail? Failure in the sense that, they run out of resources or referrals for such a really hot seat for a certain company. Was their network too small? Have they run out of ideas on how to pool potential talents, where to search them and place them on a very dynamic database that updates itself from time to time?

A vast network is the key ingredient for one headhunter to succeed and that’s a fact. Without a wider array of network a headhunter fails. If you are looking forward of becoming one, then I guess you’ll have to start networking now before it’s too late.

Headhunters are increasing in population now a days and this is to the advantage to various employers who taps their service. The more an employer taps a service of various headhunters, the higher the percentage of filling such juicy vacancy. Correct me if I’m wrong on this assumption.

Actually, I’ll be presenting to you both offline and online ways on how to broaden your network as a headhunter or just an ordinary professional because this article is not just for headhunters but for those who wanted to broaden their network in general. As they say, it doesn’t matter what you know but rather whom you know.

Dear Marocharim

   You know what they say about free advice… or do you?

   For some time now, I’ve played “therapist” to many of my friends’ problems.  It never occurred to me to write an advice column given how many problems I have, but I’m all about helping people whenever I can.  For all the help I have gotten for so long, maybe it’s time I gave back to other people as well.  Maybe the world can be a better place if I gave free advice… something like… “Dear Marocharim.”

   “Dear Marocharim” is a special category for The Marocharim Experiment.  Because TMX is all about testing stuff, I attempt to test the whole theory behind free advice (yes, it’s “Dear Abby” with a man behind the column, and “Xerex Xaviera” without the raunchy sex… or maybe I could do that).  You can picture “Dear Marocharim” as a psychiatrist’s couch, guidance counselling office, sex therapy office, drinking session… all rolled into one.

   I won’t – and I don’t claim – to hold all the answers to every problem that there is in the world: I have my own time in the school of life.  But somehow, I think that there’s a whole new opportunity there is in the world for helping people out.

   So if you have any sort of problem: love problem, sex problem, money problem, political problem, or any sort of problem that has kept you on a leash and made you a dog (maybe not that extreme), you send me your problems in the e-mail addresses below:

   Send me your letters.  I look forward to reading ‘em.

Sincerely yours,

Marocharim

Got a P25T scholarship for P45

I always get those types of calls at the office. A telemarketer introduces herself on the phone as being from a certain insurance company and tells me about a free one-year accident insurance. I always turn them down saying “wala akong balak maaksidente ngayon taon.” (I don’t intend to figure in an accident this year.)

Pursuit of Happyness

Pursuit of Happyness

This movie really reminds me of one person who’s very close to me. He shared his story to me just last night about some of his frustrations when he has still in school that turned out to be challenges for him to overcome. As you all know, I’m on call 24/7.

His story really was so inspiring that I really listened carefully word for word. So what’s the price Rodel for listening to him? This article of course, otherwise I won’t be listening to anyone.

Just to make the story short, his story happened long time ago when we were still in high school. Actually, we were at the same school and we have the same passion i.e. dancing & acting Clown. And hell no, this guy is not my alter ego in fact I’m a lot different than him. I was good at school or I was trying to be good at school but my teacher labeled me as a bad kid. She was just sooooo … arggh! Anyway, she labeled me as a troublesome kid wherein everyday I get into trouble and I was the source of it. Poor teacher… Worst, she didn’t even let me in to her class for a month! And it was my science class. Can you believe that? How many experiments I missed and supposedly lessons to learn? Believe me I was really good; it’s just that there were uncontrollable circumstances.

Asian Idol: Will Our Mau Marcelo Make It?

Mau Marcelo, the first Philippine Idol, will be competing with other “idols” from the asian region this December 2007 in Jakarta, Indonesia.

I was able to watch the preview few days ago at ABC 5, and all I can say is it’s gonna be a tough fight since the contestants have their own style of singing. But ever since, I believe Mau has the potential even if she doesn’t have the looks that most viewers want to see on TV. I’ve seen her as she competed with Sarah Geronimo years back.
