Amybeth Hale - Research Goddess

Recently, Waggener Edstrom Staffing Partner Nikole Hunt visited Howard University’s School of Communications Career Fair…

This year, we decided to try something new. We thought it would be cool to interact with the students in a different way, a way that would help us stand out from the blinding mass of free pens and key chains and really engage some of our future employees.

Howard hosts the Communications Career Fair with students from Pennsylvania to Texas (and mostly everywhere in between) participating in interviews and workshop sessions. The organizations that recruit at this event are as diverse as the students. The Waggener Edstrom booth stood alongside of ABC, Fox Group (including MySpace), Target, MTV, NBA and nearly every large public relations agency.

Many thanks to Torod Neptune who continues to support WE’s efforts at HU by participating in the panel discussion on how to get an internship and build a career in public relations. As usual, Mr. Neptune had a line of students lining up to speak with him after the panel to glean his words of wisdom.

For the last two years, Monica Lins (now an honorary recruiter) and Nikole held down the WE booth. They had the chance to speak with several students regarding their career aspirations, types of employers they’re looking for and their thoughts on the changing media landscape.

Recently, I interviewed Adam Kovitz, Executive Director of the RNIA (Relationship Networking Industry Association) in a special Goddess Episode of Jim Stroud’s The Recruiters Lounge. Check it out here!

A couple of weeks ago, I was contacted by Recruiter Life Magazine, inquiring about an interview with them. I of course jumped at the opportunity and returned the message, only to find out that they did not want to interview me; they wanted me to host a radio show on their website! I said YES - and the Research Goddess podcast on Recruiter Life Magazine will be going live in about a week. The interviews will center around research topics - how research benefits a recruiting office, techniques, advice, and I am looking forward to having some of the brightest minds in research as guests. Please tune in when the shows go live! I will be posting the links as soon as they are available, but I wanted to make this announcement so you can keep your eye out for this. I am obviously excited about this opportunity and looking forward to learning a lot from the experience!
