Eric Melniczek emelnicz@highpoint.edu’s Summary

The world of work is not "who you know." It is "who you know AND what you know!" Employers want to know that you know what you need to know in order for you to succeed in their occupational environment.

Recruit the right person, at the right time, for the right reason.

Someone knows someone that knows someone. Life is all about relationships!
