FEATURED PLACEMENT
G. Miguel Perez-Santalla Vice President Business Development - Gold & Silver Online Market
"Rob Reeves is a great person and a positive influence. He coached me along the process to the obvious fruit of our labor. Though he represented BullionVault he never lost sight that he was dealing with a person with real concerns. His honesty and professionalism are an asset for both sides of the job search spectrum." - Miguel Perez-Santalla More Features
BullionVault provides private investors around the world access to the professional bullion markets, at the lowest costs for buying, selling and storing gold and silver. Seeded in 2003, the BullionVault service developed the software and raised approximately £3.5m in equity funding for acquiring the gold bars and currency for operation over the next two years. The accessibility, safety and value of bullion afforded by BullionVault quickly made the service popular, and the business traded profitably in its first year of trading (2005). As a niche technology company, BullionVault sought a tech savvy entrepreneur with deep knowledge of the gold market to become the face of BullionVault in the U.S. The ideal candidate would be well versed in public relations, new and traditional media, and connected to the investment advisor sector. The COO of BullionVault was referred to Redfish Technology, as the technology recruiter of choice for this critical hire and Miguel Perez-Santalla was directly recruited by Rob Reeves.

SURE FIRE WAYS TO SABOTAGE YOUR JOB INTERVIEW
| | Jon Piggins, IT Recruiter |
When asked, usually towards the end of the interview, "Do you have any questions?" Don't' say: "No" or something like "Tell me about your health insurance benefit" Instead:  You want to use this opportunity not only to gain insight into opportunity but also to differentiate yourself and move forward toward a job offer. Depending on what the interview covered, you may ask what the top three accomplishments the interviewer would expect of you as a successful member of the team in the first 3 months. You could ask the interviewer how you compare to others in the interview process so far, and if there are other areas that you could expound on. You should affirm your interest and enthusiasm for the position, and ask the interviewer about the timing of the hiring process and how best to follow up. continues...

IS YOUR INDUSTRY AMONG THE LARGEST IN GROWTH OR DECLINE?
By Masters in Human Resources Degrees
Railroad line-layers, telegraph operators, horse-breakers; what do these jobs have in common? Once very important, these vocations eventually lost all demand. In today's ever-changing world, certain occupations are expected to see fantastic gains in demand. Others vocations however, are expected to become obsolete. This is the way of progress.
