Join us in Supporting the Angiosarcoma 5K

Posted on May 1, 2013May 1, 2013 by JMJ Phillip

JMJ Phillip Executive Search Firm will be sponsoring Ryan Humphrey in the Angiosarcoma Awareness (ASA) 5K Race. We encourage all of our clients, candidates, and affiliated companies to join the event and get involved this Saturday May, 4th 2013. There are opportunities to sponsor a participant or provide a donation. The ASA is a nonprofit charity seeking to raise funds for maintaining a research laboratory that is currently running two promising clinical trials. Our sponsored participant was raised in Troy, MI and is a true aspiration to all those facing a similar challenge. “Ryan, who graduated in 2000 and now lives in Grand Ledge, has Angiosarcoma, a rare, aggressive form of soft tissue sarcoma that can arise in any anatomic location. They account for less than 1 percent of soft tissue sarcomas, which in turn account for 1 percent of adult solid malignancies, according to Angiosarcoma Awareness,” (http://ow.ly/kBUfK) states Megan Semeraz in her recent Oakland Press release. “The purpose of this race/walk is to raise awareness and money to fund Angiosarcoma research. In the hope of making a larger impact across the nation, we have decided to have the Troy Angiosarcoma Awareness 5k Road Race and Walk held on the same day and time as the 3rd annual Road Race in Oxford, MA,” explains the SAS website. “Please visit www.cureasc.org to learn about this rare disease, those affected by it, our research lab and how you can help.” To register or donate please visit http://www.troyasa5k.org/.

Top 2012 Executive Career Search Mistakes

Posted on December 18, 2012December 18, 2012 by JMJ Phillip

The JMJ Phillip Retained Search Division has compiled a list of the 2012 worst mistakes witnessed during an executive career search. While this list only demonstrates a few key points, these are often the easiest to fix if a candidate takes the time to properly prepare for an interview prior to making decisions and taking action. Statistics illustrate if a candidate is not receiving an offer for every three interviews they should take a step back and consider what went wrong by doing a personal assessment. This has been shown to result in a far more successful career search.

 

1.       Companies know how smart you are:       The fatal mistake that tops the 2012 list is the “let me show you how smart I am” executive. When interviewing with prospective companies take into consideration that if you made it to the interview, the company already thinks highly of you. While showing a certain level of confidence is important, remember you have to walk a fine line not to become “the smartest guy in the room.”  When the executive team or board hiring committee is evaluating someone, they are seeking extremely intelligent professionals whom others will want to work with. If you pull out your fifty “really important” questions on the first interview there is a good chance you will not be invited back for a second interview.  No one likes a ‘Know-it-All’. It is also not necessary to point out that you went to a top 25 graduate school; they know this already and may have even chosen to bring you in because of it.

 

2.       Price gouging:        People like to do business with those they can trust. There have been many instances this year where JMJ Phillip has experienced a candidate tell the executive search consultant, or even fill out an employment application with a desired salary amount, but after an interview they ask for a considerable amount more. While this is understandable when the job requirements or situation changes, it is not an acceptable reason when a candidate feels they can get a substantially larger compensation package. This usually happens pre-offer and at some point during the first or second interview once the company has displayed great interest in onboarding the candidate. Once the candidate finds out the company is really interested, all of a sudden they are asking for 20-30% more than they originally asked for.  JMJ Phillip has found no cases in 2012 where this ended up in a successful hire.

 

 

Being difficult:      Most companies understand an executive’s busy schedule. However, things go south when a company goes out of their way to accommodate a busy executive and they either cancel at the last minute or constantly reschedule. Once the company decides not to pursue the candidate suddenly the candidate wants to “make things work.” At that point it is too late. In 2012 companies have become very picky on who they decide to pursue. The lack of willingness to make an interview happen can often be taken as reluctance to make a career change or worse, a lack of interest in their company.

 

4.       Honesty:         The fall out of the Yahoo CEO being ousted for questionable items on his resume introduced companies picking over career histories with a fine tooth comb. You can bet a company is going to do exhaustive background checks, income verification, education verification and job tenure verification.  Do not say you have a degree if you are four credits away from having one. It is equally inappropriate to say you only need fifteen credits to complete a degree if you need sixty. Also, be precise with your job dates.  Stretching job dates to fill voids will be caught and brings integrity into question.

 

 

5.       Lack of energy:      If you have the title of Director or above, people see you as a leader. If you are a leader the last thing the hiring committee wants to see is lethargy.  In 2012, the markets continue to become more and more competitive leaving no time for a low energy executive. Many executives are being brought in as change agents, and with change the company needs someone with energy, excitement, and motivation. We often joke pre-interview and tell candidates to stop and get a Red Bull or a Quad Americano as a way of saying “show them you are bringing some energy to their organization.” Lack of energy and excitement is also taken as a sign of someone not being interested in a position or company which is extremely visceral to the executive hiring committee.

Doubling Toys for Tots Donations in 2012, a National Executive Search Firm Pioneers the Drive for Corporate Charity During Times of Economic Uncertainty

Posted on November 13, 2012 by JMJ Phillip

JMJ Phillip, a top Executive Search Firm, believes with success comes greater community responsibility as they continue to champion and support their annual Toys for Tots program, giving less fortunate children some holiday cheer.
(PRWEB) November 13, 2012 JMJ Phillip, a Michigan based Executive Search Firm, is inspiring companies to participate in the Toys for Tots charity this Christmas 2012. To promote the giving spirit this holiday season, JMJ Phillip has offered to match any toy donation a business sends into their firm with an equivalent gift. Not only does this encourage companies to help the Toys for Tots program, but it offers the incentive of a combined effort to help kids in need with donations up to $2500 in toys.

“As in previous years, the Toys for Tots program has been one that keeps gaining momentum with each year we participate and collect donations. It is great to see the ongoing support from our company clients and candidates we’ve worked with and look forward to 2012 being our biggest year of contributions yet,” said James Thompson, Vice President of Business Development.

Toys will be collected until 5pm on December 8th. JMJ Phillip offers drop boxes placed at customer businesses as a means of collection. Arrangements may be made for gift pickups in the Metro Detroit Area by contacting JMJ Phillip at jmj.reora.net.

A third way to contribute is by posting a picture of a new toy ready to be donated on the JMJ Phillip Facebook page and it will be matched with an equal gift. Toys for Tots requires all toys to be new, unwrapped, and in the original package. There is no set age for the toys and all gifts are welcome, but there is usually a higher demand for the older children.

Marc Callert, a Manufacturing and Supply Chain Executive Recruiter states “Toys for Tots is a fantastic charity to participate in this time of year and especially in today’s economy. The program directly helps bring the community together and raises the spirits of kids who may not be going through the best of times. As an executive recruiter, I am speaking with individuals in all types of situations and it has been my experience that programs like this bring out the compassion and willingness to give in everyone no matter how big or small the donation may be.”

JMJ Phillip is Jump Starting the Holiday Charity Season by Matching $2500 in Gifts for Toys for Tots

Posted on November 23, 2010 by JMJ Phillip

Executive Search Firm JMJ Phillip is taking a lead by example stance for the 2010 holiday season and is stepping up by offering to match every toy a business sends in to their firm with a similar toy.

Rochester, MI (PRWEB) November 23, 2010

The national executive search firm JMJ Phillip is taking a lead by example stance for the 2010 holiday season and is stepping up by offering to match every toy a business sends in to their firm with a similar toy. JMJ Phillip’s goal is to bring awareness to the Toys for Tots program as well as give corporations an incentive to donate toys by offering the synergy of matching those donations with a goal of matching up to $2500 in toys.

“Toys for Tots is a charity we have always believed in and knowing how each gift will ultimately end up in a child’s hands allows people to be emotionally connected to the process. Over the years we have received amazing feedback from both clients and candidates in regards to our work with the charity and with the economy on the rebound we decided to ratchet it up a notch in 2010 to make an attempt to engage others for this charitable cause,” said James Thompson, Vice President of Business Development.

JMJ Phillip will be accepting Toys until 5pm on December 8th. Corporations located in the Metro Detroit Area that wish to donate toys can make arrangements for pickup by contacting JMJ Phillip directly through their website. Toys should be new and unwrapped in their original packaging. Toys for all ages are welcome and as with every year, toys for older children are always in high demand, so please keep this in mind when making your selections.

“I love the idea of going toy for toy with other businesses. Many individuals make significant donations during the holidays so we believe there is no better time than the present to give the business community a little push to do more. As an executive recruiter you get to hear hundreds of touching stories every year from candidates all around the nation whose families are struggling, so for us stepping up and helping charities such as Toys for Tots really has become a part of our professional life,” said James Thompson.

Time to Shift into a New Career

Posted on February 3, 2010 by JMJ Phillip

Detroit-Based Recruiting Firm, JMJ Phillip, is Now Offering Michigan Residents Free Employment and Training Services

Detroit, MI February 3, 2010 — According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are currently over 700,000 unemployed Michigan residents. Since the state’s key industry – the auto market – is shedding jobs at all levels, the executive search firm JMJ Phillip will now offer complimentary career-shift coaching on a first come, first serve basis to help put some of Michigan’s jobless back to work.

JMJ Phillip’s Manufacturing Transition Initiative (MTI) will provide valuable assistance to those professionals looking to transition out of the manufacturing industry and into another job sector. The MTI staff will offer personal coaching sessions for up to 25 unemployed Michigan residents on a monthly basis. During these informative meetings, they’ll discuss the new rules for job searching during the recession as well as offer advice for a successful career change, including job interview tips and resume writing help.

“With the downturn in Michigan’s auto industry and the noticeable job trend from manufacturing to service-oriented position openings, it is imperative to not only be ready, but well prepared for a career change,” said James Thompson, Vice President of Business Development for JMJ Phillip. “To maintain a competitive edge in today’s job market, it is important to participate in continuing education courses, utilize social media networks to leverage relationships as well as have an effective resume presentation to grab a prospective employer’s attention. ”

JMJ Phillip will be offering employment coaching services throughout 2010 for Michigan residents to help prepare them for the state’s shift toward local energy efficiency projects and other service-sector jobs. To learn more about MTI and to participate in the limited size career guidance sessions, please e-mail the recruiting firm at mti@jmjphillip.com
