			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Hospitality Leaders is the world&#039;s leading hospitality and travel industry talent pool.</h2>
<p>Hospitality Leaders was not specifically designed with executive search or recruitment in mind.</p>
<p>However, because it gathers the world&#039;s leading talent in one convenient place it is an ideal platform to do just that!</p>
<p>Executive Search firms and recruiters have recognized and do exploit both social and professional networks to identify active and passive candidates.</p>
<p>We recognize that leaders in our industry are open to learning about opportunities and we are committed to giving both potential recruits and corporations the opportunity to identify mutually beneficial partnerships.</p>
<p>For our company and recruiter members, we offer a “corporate advantage” and have developed dedicated access to the leadership body of the industry.</p>
<p>This corporate account provides deep and far reaching access into the talent pool, far beyond what our premium membership is able to provide.</p>
<p>We have built a dedicated and customized solution for our corporate partners that we host for them at their own dedicated web address such as &#034;yourname.hospitalityleaders.com&#034;</p>
<p>Corporations receive dozens and more applications on daily basis and it can become challenging for most to keep track of the qualified people that introduce themselves.</p>
<p>Instead of loosing track of this talent pool, our corporate partners encourage potential future candidates to become members of <a  href="http://hospitalityleaders.com/">hospitalityleaders.com</a> to network within the industry.</p>
<p>Hence the talent pool that our corporate partners tap into grows exponentially.</p>
<p>The dedicated search access is unique to each corporate client who receives the ability to:</p>
<p>- Run dedicated queries</p>
<p>- Save searches and retain comments of interactions with potential candidates</p>
<p>- Upload files</p>
<p>- Share and track projects amongst co-workers</p>
<p>- Contact members that are open to learning about fitting opportunities.</p>
<p>- more&#8230;</p>
<p>For a hosted dedicated corporate solution, please <a  href="http://hospitalityleaders.com/n/index.php?page=contact_us">contact us here</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>1) If you want to be run over by a train, you need to lie down on the tracks.</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>List every community you have EVER been part of (towns, schools, businesses, organizations, etc)</li>
<li>List every job you’ve had</li>
<li>Describe every job in detail</li>
<li>List every degree, certification, license, etc.</li>
<li>Set preferences to allow invites and direct contacts</li>
<li>Add your alternative email addresses</li>
<li>Add the top keywords which describe you</li>
<li>Add all of your websites and your blogs</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><br />
2) Grow your network to be found</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Collect all of those business cards and scan them in to your contact database</li>
<li>Collect all past contact data (old email programs, newtons, palmpilots, etc)</li>
<li>Merge all of the above into one consolidated CSV database (Outlook / Gmail etc.)</li>
</ul>
<p>3) Be selective</p>
<ul>
<li>Just because someone is a connection does NOT mean you owe them recommendations and endorsements on demand</li>
<li>Evaluate each recommendation on a referral-by-referral basis.</li>
</ul>

<p>They thought it was easier to ask people to change their name than to debug some software code.</p>
<p>Anyway there is nothing to worry about, you get to keep your real names and the IT crew is back at work.</p>
