Will E. Wurkornot got a job. It's taken more than three years, and he's written many letters to many hiring managers. Now, that Will E is working, he's written a recap to all the hiring managers he's talked to in the past three+ years...

and a multitude of other hiring managers I've met
I apologize to you all. You can't have me now.
You have blown it.
You could have had me; in fact, many of you seemed like you wanted me to work for you, but you never followed through.
Even though I used to make $100K plus, every year, I was willing to work for $65K, or $50K, or $35K, or just about whatever you offered. I thought I needed you, and I thought you needed me.
That was your plan, right? Take a look at the economy, see how many people are desperate for jobs, and figure out how much that drives your cost requirements down -- you can hire $100K producers for $30K now; those people need jobs.
Well Carmen, Will et al, I don't need a job. I'm working for myself. I don't need your piddly offer, your condescending attitudes, your non-existent updates, your false promises, or your "we don't really have any openings now" comments. I've had it with you. And, now you can't have it with me.
I started my own company up, and it's flourishing. Do you know why? Because I started it on my own, and I treat people with respect, honesty, quality and service. What a concept?
It's taken eight months to really get this going (actually, that seems pretty quick), and even though I expected to work alone, I now have three "partners" who have joined me and they are beginning to produce, as well. These three people know me, know my reputation, understand my plan and share my belief in "no surprises" for my clients. This could be the best year I've ever had in business.
We want our customers' second transactions even more than their first. We want to provide the best support possible, and earn that repeat business, that referral business, and that ongoing business that is so important. We are earning that business now, and it's surprising how quickly the word has spread. Mr. Hiring Manager, you should try this. Treating people right pays big dividends. Maybe it doesn't matter in HR, but it does in a real business, where pay is based upon performance, and where revenues matter.
So, to all you hiring managers, let me summarize by saying you won't see me in your office again. I'm happy, I'm producing, I'm earning a very good income, I have people I like and trust working with me, and I'm treating my clients the way I wish you had treated me.
There must be a lesson in there somewhere. Hope you find it.
