Finally someone who gets my metaphor as well. I always preach the fishing metaphor, I love to fly fish. I don't always know what the fish will bite on,so I ask alot of questions of the locals(networking), see what bugs are on the water and then decide what fly use(research/sourcing), dry, top water, nymph weighted or not color. Or do I use a dropper in an effort to catch three fish, when do you go, early a.m. or late in the day, hmmm, very analogus to catching those candidates that you can hook and keep them "on the line" (the sales pitch/knowing your audience/screeing/closing the deal)etc..etc.. Thank you for sharing and I will add to my metaphor these very insightful thoughts. Thank you and to you my friend, happy fishing!!!! Steve "The Recruit4U Guy" “The fisherman”….
