Customer Service, Loving Your Job, and Leadership

by rmcdermott | Sep 30, 2013 | Great First Impressions, Innovation, Rod McDermott

I’ve often wondered the connection between our people loving their jobs and the level of service they provide to the candidates they come in touch with throughout their days, and the clients we serve on executive search assignments at McDermott & Bull and MB...

by rmcdermott | Sep 4, 2013 | Great First Impressions, Job Search, Rod McDermott

by rmcdermott | Mar 1, 2010 | Great First Impressions, Rod McDermott
