Author, Trainer & Recruiter "She possesses a drive and determination that sets her apart from her competition." Charles B Sheldon - owner, editor of the Colorado Springs Business Journal.1992   Kathleen Conners specializes in people connections for job search and developed PeopleHirePeople hunt, contact & ask strategies for job search.  She is a full time recruiter and a guest lecturer to MBA programs at major universities.   Kathleen began her employment career in the early 1990's recession when her hometown of Colorado Springs was dubbed "The Foreclosure Capital of the US" by the national media. Finding jobs when unemployment peaked at 7.9 percent was her forte.  She became a passionate detective uncovering clues for jobs! Kathleen has been an experienced job developer, consultant for a major outplacement firm, and for the past six years a guest lecturer to MBA programs at major universities.  In 2002 after 9/11, she was overwhelmed by professionals contacting her for new employment opportunities.  So the PeopleHirePeople Seminar was created to assist job candidates with their three major problems: “build” a job soecific network quick, “discover” companies with unadvertised jobs and “hunt” hiring managers.  Seminar participants urged Kathleen to write a book making her techniques available for all professionals. Job candidates are taught "Where to Hunt", "Who to Contact" and "What to Ask"! These effective techniques Kathleen has been using for the past two decades. She has been a guest on the national syndicated radio David Lawrence Talk Show discussing the ineffective Internet Job Boards.    Morgan Stanley, H&R Block Financial Services, Presidential Brokerage, Jefferson County Workforce Center, and the Denver Financial Executive Network Group have been corporate sponsors for the PeopleHirePeople Seminar in Colorado.  Kathleen continues to actively recruit full time for client companies and is a graduate from Washington University, St. Louis.                                                                                                                             2010 Dear Job Candidates, 2010 has the unemployment rate over 10% in some parts of the country. The number is most likely higher because many job candidates no longer receive unemployment benefits but remain unemployed.  Due to the current economy, this can be a very tough professional job market in which to navigate.  Misguided job candidates are instructed on Internet activities that do not reap successful employment opportunities.  Told to network, most find that traditional networking is too time consuming and not focused specifically for job search. For many job candidates time is of the essence and reemployment is a necessity.  Current conventional wisdom leaves job seekers with a real disconnect.  Advice on cover letters, resumes, interviews, and salary negotiations is plentiful. Specific activities and processes for locating the companies with the 85% of unadvertised jobs are few. To further disconnect, exact guidance for contacting hiring managers within the companies is rare. Out of sheer frustration from so many job candidates asking for help, the PeopleHirePeople seminar was develop.  It combines creative investigative methods from the last recession with today's technology.  It demonstrates real working processes based on the principle of contacting real human beings.  The discovery of companies that "make things happen" and interaction with industry professionals "in the know" find employment opportunities.  Imparting these practical and action oriented applications has assisted many in finding jobs.  None of this was ever planned. From the seminar, a book was penned with case scenarios of 2003 seminar attendees getting interviews and achieving employment.  Many attendees had previously received outplacement and career management services that did not teach the "hunt”, "find" and "connect" aspects of job search.  Continually, I have the opportunity to revise and update the PeopleHirePeople Seminar because of corporate sponsorship and universities' requests.   As a full time recruiter I employ the methods I teach and am blessed to be able to share my methods with job candidates.
