Maybe this is hard for you to believe because you aren't satisfied with life you're living today. Well, your present circumstances don't determine your future. We have plenty of examples to show us that this isn't true.

Think of where these people started in life and how they've ended up: Bill Gates, Stevie Wonder, Helen Keller, Steve Jobs, Oprah Winfrey, Eckhart Tolle, Anthony Robbins, Steven Speilberg, Julia Roberts, Colonel Sanders, Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr., Ghandi (the obvious choices), most professional athletes, most professional musicians and so many others.

They all started out as babies with nothing but personal passion to fuel them on to creating wonderful lives. They all took different roads to climb their individual mountains of success, but they all got there by being focused and by taking action consistently.

Every successful person you have ever known or heard of has had help to create effective results in their lives. They all got where they wanted to go in life. It just took some support. Olympic athletes, businessmen and women, parents, students, salespeople, writers, artists ÷ anyone can have what they want.

If you don't have enough belief in yourself or you don't have enough support from those around you, then having a coach or mentor can make difference for you. Working with a qualified coach can support you in succeeding simple way instead of trying to re-invent wheel to get results hard way.

Q: Is size of firm important? A: Multiple consultants mean a more diverse client base, and a larger network of client contacts. There are many of solo practitioners (recruiters who work alone) in this field. Unless solo practitioner is known throughout country, they will be limited in their effectiveness of placing because they are only one person. With eleven consultants, my firm, FGP International, can cross-sell to our client base across multiple disciplines.

Q: How can you tell if a search firm or consultant performed well in past? A: It’s perfectly all right to ask. Find out what percentage of repeat business (from companies) firm has. If they don’t have an answer, that’s a good indication that it’s not high and that may point to their ineffectiveness.

Q: What is best way to evaluate an individual consultant? A: Ask them their interview to hire ratio. The industry standard is between 4 and 7:1. If number goes higher, then consultant may have an inability to understand job, company, or candidate’s abilities when conducting search, thereby introducing wrong people on wrong position.

Q: For job hunters that may want to entertain idea of relocation, what is best way to evaluate a search firm? A: First, determine your own geographical focus.

A national or international search firm would be desirable, if your geographical preference is broad.
