About Me

Transitioned from Human Service Worker / Job Developer / War On Poverty
Director of Dept. of Labor employment and training Programs to Research
Recruiter to niche specialty direct recruiter to full split partner to
contract technical recruiter. Made transition from human services by
hearing about difficulties in communication and cultural interactions in what was then called the twin-plant industries (now called the Maquiladora
industries.)
Submitted proposal to a niche electronics fabrication headhunting firm - specifically to develop a desk providing bilingual US degreed electronics manufacturing electronics engineers. trained by a one man $400k biller
for 9 months before my first placement (can't figure out if he was just lonely or he had some exceptional forsight.)
* Spent 7 feet away from my boss saying"
* What? --- got a little phone fear.
* Stop attempting to put round pegs in square holes.
* Shut-up and listen - When asked your opinion - ask back then - echo what they just said. (remember this was the 1980's)
I couldn't understand why the US expatriot electronics assembly plant (hire managers) would just keep blowing me off - Until I spoke to one
fantastic hands-on, people person - electronics manufacturing quality consultant said: They don't want bilingual/cultural to be a requirment.
Client/Company Marketing Calls moved to US electronics Mfg H/Q - Next 17 years top billing split $300K - review attached resume because nothing ever stays the same. Michael Leeney-Nieto (English / Spanish) human rights
EEO - turned Park Ave - Headhunter - then what?
