Medical Sales Recruiter - Tips & Quips

I don’t normally use this blog to write any articles that have much to do with politics. But I recognize a trend in this presidential/vp race that is pretty close to my area of the playground. And that is discrimination, recruiting and hiring. The left side of our nation presses for change - more spending to help those who are in need, single mothers, struggling workers, those that are out of work. They have pushed for legislation that has employers tied in knots. Employers have to document every step of their hiring process to assure that there is no discrimination due to sex, race, political bias, etc. Employers are buying expensive software systems (this additional cost is just added to the price of their products) to document their hiring systems. Because they always have the burden of proving that they did not discriminate in their hiring process. When I am interviewing a candidate for a job that has a lot of travel (and therefore, time away from the family) it is against the law to ask the candidate who will mind the home fires - children, etc. Who has pushed for this? The feminist groups that feel there is a glass ceiling that has limited their ability to climb the corporate ladder. So when McCain named Sarah Palin as is right hand gal, who brought up the family piece?
Sally Quinn. She just isn’t certain that Sarah can be a good mother and be our VP. Sally - I bet if a white male asked you to discuss how well you have done with your children, you would be offended. And probably, if that male were in a senior position within your firm, you would serve him papers! How dare he? But Sarah should be subject to your questions about her family? Give me a break. Do you know why women fail to move faster within organizations? Because we are too bitchy to support one another. We see other women as threats to us. Men don’t do this. They are pretty straight forward with one another. Sally, you should be embarrassed. Go hunting (btw - I’m a pretty good shot as well)!
Why can’t we treat women the same as men? When was the last time we talked about Bill Clinton’s parenting? or John McCain’s parenting or Ronald Reagan (who I love, but I am not sure how he did on the family scene)? We don’t, we didn’t. Because it wasn’t related to the job. Oh, and Sally, John didn’t have to choose the most qualified candidate for the VP job, it is his campaign, he could choose anyone. If you want to talk about choosing the most qualified candidate, go back to the liberal left with this topic. I think they would tell you that they wanted the “most qualified candidate that could get the most votes”. Why else would you choose someone who has the slickest, smoothest communication style where he can address a question, yet never provide an answer?
In my world, your candidate would not get the job with a discerning hiring manager? Why, because he is “looks good, less filling”! Unless, the hiring manager hadn’t hired enough females, hispanics, african americans, etc., then they might have to hire the unqualified candidate that meets the discrimination numbers. The liberal left wants to help those that are suffering. Who better to lead our country than someone who has suffered? Sarah has her personal problems, I don’t care. Is she inspiring, is she real, is she focused on the best choices for our nation? I have owned my own business for 9 years. I pay taxes that are insane, I fill out paperwork that is unending, and I am constantly looking for ways to streamline my business (for my production and ultimately for my personal financial gain). Everything that comes out of Obama’s mouth indicates more taxes, more rules, and more paperwork for the business owner. This only squeezes more. Unfortunately, I am a first hand witness to the financial peril and out of work problem that our nation faces. I see resumes everyday of people who just want to go to work and move forward. Capitalism is what cures this. Put together incentives to drive opportunity in the green market (tax cuts, education, etc). Don’t push struggling businesses over the edge with more legislation and more taxes. As a business owner I invest in my employees and my business, for every dollar that I don’t send to Sam, I put into the economy. Make this easier. Give businesses some tax advantage for re-educating workers from those failing industries. Use the incredible wealth of knowledge and time that our retired community has to retrain, retool and create new opportunities. Have contests to create business that assist with this, not just shell out cash to those who are hurting. Don’t give them the fish (soon it will be gone), teach them to fish. Women, don’t let your petty insecurities cause you to hurt other women.
I know 2 individuals that have the knowledge and resources to start thriving businesses today. They aren’t that excited about it. Why? Rules and regulations that add endless questions to every decision and the exposure of having employees. This is our problem.
Sally - you weren’t too smooth for Bill. You looked like a jealous female and you were an embarrassment to working women throughout this nation. I hope that the payoff that you receive from the liberal left will be enough to compensate for ruining your credibility.
One last thought, why if a person owns their own business, should we have the right to tell them how to run that business, what types of people they have to hire and how much they should pay them? Isn’t this the free world? If you don’t want to work for the wages, don’t take the job. It is a free choice. Who convinced us that we should have that type of say in their business?
Why can’t I discriminate about who I will take on as a client? I should be able to choose who I will choose to do business with and who I won’t do business with?

And if you don’t think the binding legislation and taxation doesn’t impact the astute business person’s decision, you are wrong. I was in California when I quit my corporate position and started my own business. Guess where I went to start the business? Texas. Guess why?

One last rant, would the hollywood types bow out of the political arena. Your skill and talent is in providing entertainment. Most of you just aren’t qualified to speak on these topics. No offense intended.
