Can you hear me now?

The answer is YES ladies, we CAN!

Women are achieving great success in the Staffing and Recruiting Profession. There has never been a better time in history to attain even more success. Who else can proficiently switch gears, seamlessly juggle multiple priorities, have dinner and carpools arranged, when necessary function as a part-time teacher, and still achieve or surpass goals?

There is a new emphasis on women leadership in our Profession, and yet this past year 2.3 million women left the workforce, four times higher than men.

During this session we will discuss:

Best Use of Your Valuable Time
High-Tech, High-Touch approach
Rapport and Relationships
Seven Top Money-Making Strategies

Barb Bruno will also leave time to answer your questions!

Are women great achievers in the Staffing and Recruiting Profession? The answer is a resounding YES!

In January 2020, for the first time in history, women held more jobs than men occupying 50.04% of the positions according to the US government jobs report. However, since February over 2.3 million women left the workforce, four times higher than men.
