HAPPY LANDINGS:

  1. Message from L., Anne’s client:

“Anne, Are you sitting down?

Negotiated, got all I asked for and then a bit more.  Signed.

Start the 26th.  Leaving here Saturday or Sunday to drive over.

Found a splendid studio at a price that only raises my blood pressure alittle.  Large well-lit space, .4 miles from work, big patio.

All-in-all, your support has resulted in yet another delighted success story, even in the face of a very unusual market!”

Congratulations, Anne! L. has landed at a private university focused on health sciences on the West Coast, following Anne’s negotiation strategy superbly. She is now Director Institutional Effectiveness & Accreditation Liaison Officer.

RECRUITER ACTION:

  1. D. to Greg:

“FYI – The recruiter email went out today and Waffles’ email text was spot on! It generated a lot of responses so far. I have already set up a few recruiter calls and am very excited to see all of this activity.”

  1. Mo was excited to hear his client J. had no less than nine meetings with recruiters this week!

INTERVIEWS PROGRESS NONETHELESS:

  1. D. reported back to George:

“The call with a public transit agency on the West Coast went very well; [my contact] is the lead on the Executive Director of Operations search. She spent about 45 minutes asking me various questions…almost all were similar or identical to what we went over, so I was very prepared and felt really good about the conversation.”

Way to go, George!

  1. B. told George he has progressed to a second zoom interview at a medical provider with multiple hospitals in the Southeastern states.
  2. Paula tells us: J. has completed his second interview with a large online retailer and they’re thinking of placing him in either Miami or Tampa.

  5. High Five to George: H. had a first interview on 5/14 with the Director, Armed Reconnaissance Operating Unit at an American global technology company. They said that position was not the right one but are looking for the right position for him and expect to be bringing him back shortly.

PRIVATE EQUITY DEALS:

  1. Julie’s client B. is moving forward with Waffles’ contact at a New York based Private Equity firm! This from Waffles’ contact:

“Separately, my partner connected with B. earlier this week and they had a very productive call.  We’re going to put a mutual NDA/non-circ in place because we already have a deal for him to look at with us.  We appreciate the introduction!”

SOCIAL NETWORKING:

  1. H. acknowledges Anne’s Barrettizations:

“Okay YOU really know what you are doing. I really need to take you more literally. I just finally took your advice and commented on a random LinkedIn new employee hire announcement by a friend of mine who owns her own PR company. In turn, she texted me thanking me for the public compliment to her company. I then asked her if she knows anyone at [an American image sharing and social media service].  She said, ‘Yes I’m working for the CEO and Comms director right now.’ Ha! So now she’s going to facilitate some introductions.”

THE UNPUBLISHED MARKET:

  1. Greg’s client J. has identified an opportunity at an American for-profit managed health care company. In looking through his social capital he found W., who is connected to many of us at TBG. He asked the Brain Trust, “Would W. be willing to do some networking with J.?” Julie jumped right in: “W. is my client and I’m happy to assist with any introductions. He’s a great guy and currently in phase 2.”
  2. Julie’s client J. has a public/private multifamily real estate deal he’s working on. Waffles introduced him to Julie’s other client C., who is deeply involved in such deals, and they’re meeting on Thursday to discuss the possibilities.
