Preparing for Summer Recruiting!

Look at those bright and shiny faces! The next training class date (August 20) will be here before you know it, and I'm faced with the ultimate challenge... to hire a new class that's just as good as the first one! So today I started to prepare for my summer recruiting season, and here's how:

1. Sesame Chicken combo from Panda Express for lunch: Nothing prepares you for a good night's sleep like shopping mall Chinese food.
2. I cleaned my cube: I really did some down and dirty house-keeping today. I reorganized my filing cabinet, purged old documents and resumes, cleaned off the dry-erase board, dusted...you name it, I did it. It took up most of my afternoon.
3. Surfed the web: There's so much going on in the world of college recruiting it's very difficult to stay afloat! I ended up with some ground-breaking ideas to spice up my job fair booth and a few Non-Top Tier Universities that groom incredible talent. I would say I'm certainly off to a good start.
4. Ordering Workout DVD's: It is inevitable that I will gain 10lbs from eating 3 meals a day at the airport! I have yet to use a hotel's workout facilities, but I love doing the home DVD's. I figure I'm more apt to workout in my room than anything else. Miami Beach here I come!
   

Next comes determining my target locations, setting up on-campus interview sessions, making travel arrangements, posting the position online, resume slurping, and networking, Networking, NETWORKING! I'm just about ready to attempt to reach a nearly impossible goal! This first class has far surpassed any of our expectations, but I'm excited about the challenge.
