That’s an impressive roster. The key to the success for these candidates was more than luck. The LEAD process involves pre-screening and committed panel interviewers from the employers who support LEAD with annual partner fees. At the time of this blog entry, a handful of LEAD candidates are in the finals for positions that will crown their resumes. When asked what made them successful, candidates have several common responses:
-They were coachable.
-They were diligent in searching the jobs available from partners.
-They attended Candidate Networking Receptions.
-They followed the job search guidelines LEAD put in place.
-They didn’t rely on LEAD to conduct their job search and used several resources.
We are proud of 2013 and already excited about what 2014 has in store. Visit the Success Stories tab to read about our recent landings.
