Great news to start off the week, as one of our Expats Job Miracle clients received her job offer! I'm so happy for Edem. She adapted and changed her approach quite a bit, always listening well and applying the lessons right away. Here is what Edem wrote to me last week: "Hi Kevin, I think its a good idea to get started with this offer. My family thinks same too. So I will send him an email to accept the offer after we have spoken" She accepted the offer already. Edem followed Immigrant...

Reader Just wanted to pass along something that made my week. A guy I’ve been working with, Olgu, called me last Friday. It was one of those quick “do you have 5 minutes?” messages on LinkedIn. I wasn’t sure what to expect. His interview with a big e-commerce company recently went fine, we thought. But he was waiting to hear back. When I picked up the phone he said this: "Hey Kevin, I got a call from the recruiter today and she told me that they are happy to offer me a contract. I was happier...

*Special weekend edition! Hi Reader I am writing you from the train today. Helping a friend of mine move houses in this late spring time of transition. The "winds of change" are swirling.

Why go to work on Friday... I think it was a pretty slow day. One of my clients had a breakthrough recently...

I heard a quote from Seth Godin that stuck with me from the interview I watched between him and Tim Ferris."Human resources (HR) comes from the idea of treating people like a machine"I thought when I heard that - "hmm.. that sure is accurate." Then I thought; Why don't recruiters just sit down with the hiring manager and define the open role in the most simple terms - including most important goal, biggest challenge, and probation KPI's? This would help so much on the confusion between job...

Reader hi again back from last week. We had a great roundtable focus group with some brand new members as well as some of the oldest members of Immigrant Spirit. If you were there; I hope you enjoyed it. I got some feedback from a few people, but if you would like to send me additional feedback on the session, please do that. I will be having more of these group meetings this year. I will invite those who I have actually heard from before, or who are engaging with these weekly emails. If you...
