Unless you've been an ass, there's no reason to apologize to me or any other recruiter for pulling out of an interview process or saying "no" to a job offer. It's NOT ABOUT ME OR THE RECRUITER you're working with. If the recruiter gets angry with you, the Recruiter is the ass.

Jane Ashen Turkewitz on LinkedIn: "Hiring Managers/Recruiters: Here are the reasons why you should ignore your OWN PERSONAL BIASES & think twice before saying "she's too senior for this job." And here's why....(This comes from yesterday's post and the amazing people who responded.) -They have already managed big teams, the P&L and prefer not to. They want to own their own projects with pride and confidence. -They have had the big job and also had no life. They want to have balance. -Let's face it, there are fewer and fewer jobs out there at the senior level. It's the nature of the hiring pyramid. These people have a lot to contribute, WANT to and they don't care how. -Ego shmego....They are so over that. You have the opportunity to hire people with amazing experiences who will STAY PUT if treated with respect. -They want to help others learn what they have learned and they don't care how they do so. So many of you are afraid that the "too senior candidates" will jump ship when a more appropriately-leveled position comes their way. But, let's be honest. That can happen with any hire. Younger people job hop because they are coveted. Experienced candidates have seen what's behind door #2. They don't need to check it out. They will stay put and be the gift that keeps on giving."

Usually when someone says you are "too senior," they mean "too advanced in skill and pay." In other words, the job is not properly leveled for your abilities. Some of you find this to be frustrating...

Jane Ashen Turkewitz on LinkedIn: "Usually when someone says you are "too senior," they mean "too advanced in skill and pay." In other words, the job is not properly leveled for your abilities. Some of you find this to be frustrating. "Who are you to determine what's going to satisfy me? If I am more than qualified for the position, then you should hire me because I CAN do the job and I'll be freeing YOU up." All this may be true, BUT, chances are, a person accepts a job that's too junior for them because they NEED a job, not because that's where they want to be. They have bills to pay and nothing else is in the hopper. So that person, accepts the job, keeps an eye on what else is out there, and is out the door 4 months later when an appropriately leveled position presents itself. The Employer knows that this is a distinct possibility and wants to avoid the possibility. Can you really blame them? Secondly - like it or not, managers don't want to hire employees who are more experienced then they are. It can set up a weird reporting dynamic that many people are uncomfortable with. Third, strong managers know that people are motivated when in growth mode and that hiring at the proper level will keep his/her employees inspired to stay put because they are learning."

We don't have to be robots. However, your word selection & intonation matter.
Choice #1: That's a beautiful sweater
Choice #2: You look hot (or pretty) in that sweater
Choice #3: Dammmmmnnnn girl
Only 1 of these is appropriate & your opinion on someone's looks is irrelevant

Client: I want a rock star CMO! Jane: That's right in my wheelhouse. What's your budget? Client: $150K - $175K, all in. ...You hear that noise? That's the sound of Jane smashing her head on the desk. IF U WANT A ROCK STAR, YOU CAN'T PAY LIKE YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A LOUNGE SINGER.

What do you tell the candidate who is still in the running but is not in 1st place? The truth. Chances are the candidate is also weighing more than one job as well. So what? Still being in the running is a GOOD thing. And it ain't over 'till the fat lady sings.

CANNABIS entrepreneur wanna be? I'd like to intro you to a CEO in the space who is looking for a PARTNER to work on, well, everything. YOU need to be a roll-up-your-sleeves kind of person with finance, strategy or mktg exp, & an MBA.

Jane Ashen Turkewitz on LinkedIn: "CANNABIS entrepreneur wanna be? If you are a strategic leader who is also hands on, I would like to introduce you to the CEO of a Cannabis company that has made active investments in the space over the past 18 months and is forming an infused product company. The CEO is looking for a PARTNER to work on, well, everything. YOU need to be a roll-up-your-sleeves kind of person with finance, branding, strategy or marketing experience, and preferably, an MBA. If you‘ve got food, beverage or alcoholic beverages in your professional background, that‘s a bonus. But, we really need someone who has brought products to market and understands how big cannabis will be. PREFER West Coast based but it‘s not a deal killer if you're elsewhere as long as you don't mind travel. Until the next capital raise, this is a pure sweat equity deal for someone who wants to partner with a proven entrepreneur (former senior partner at large law firms with deep M&A expertise.) Jane@HiTouchSearch.com...Feel free to share. #HotJob #ExecutiveJob #Entrepreneur #Cannabis "

If you are serious about filling a job, don't discount the other candidates you like just because you have a #1 choice. What if that #1 doesn't work out? Doesn't it make sense to have strong back-ups in the queue, vs. going back to the drawing board?#InterviewTips
