Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and Happy New Year! ⛄🎄🕎 Tips on Taking Better Photos

Tips on taking better pictures this holiday season -

Just walk. Stroll with confidence toward or past the camera to catch some natural movement.

Hold something in your hand.

Relax your body by casually leaning against a wall.

Wear comfortable clothing: Choose outfits that fit well and make you feel confident. 

Relax your body language: Avoid stiff postures, slightly turn your body to the side, and shift your weight naturally. 

Engage with your surroundings: Interact with people around you, look at something interesting, or use props to feel more relaxed. 

Natural smile: Focus on smiling with your eyes, not just your mouth, to appear genuine. 

Find your best angle. Take photos of yourself. Use the idea of a clock and turn your head while taking selfies. Find your best angle. Mine is at 10.  

Don't overthink: Embrace the moment and let go of trying to perfect every pose.  

Merry Christmas! Happy Hanukkah! Happy New Year! ⛄ 🎄🕎

New Roof, New Office and New Market!!

 

The new roof is on!  It’s truly a relief to have a solid roof over our heads. I’m excited to build out the damaged room into my new home office.  I’ll have a lot more room and a quieter location.   My town is slowly cleaning up - homes and businesses are being fixed.

The people of Florida are resilient and incredibly strong-willed, and we’re excited to work with them. Our firm is continuing to expanding into the Florida market. We’ll always work with our client/candidate base in California, but it’s been exciting to connect to new companies and people.

Happy Thanksgiving to all our friends, family, clients and candidates from Coast to Coast. May your Thanksgiving Day be filled with love, laughter and joy.

No Notes and a new recruiter at our firm!!!

 

The last two months I’ve had the opportunity to talk to a lot of Dave’s clients and listen to their stories about him. It’s been awesome to hear how many people he’s helped over the last 30+ years.  Dave has helped people since they first graduated from college until now!  A funny musing anyone he knows well he never kept notes on them – he’d just remember everything about them. So, it’s been an interesting process with no notes – I’m interviewing people that the firm has known for years just to complete their file – we like to get as much detail as possible, so we place them at a great company!

Exciting news - we have a new recruiter at the firm, Sharon Ryder. She has over 25 years of experience recruiting and is excellent with sales, marketing and biz dev people.   Call us, she’d be happy to assist any of your recruiting needs.

New Adventure

 

Montana was amazing! I came home refreshed and ready to work. New and exciting things are on the horizon for Ankenbrandt. After over 40 years recruiting Dave will be retiring by the end of the year. He will still be available for special project work!

I have a great business development teammate on board to work on our Tampa Bay business– Lily Salem. We work together at Career Bright.  You'll find her at a few business events all over Tampa as well as reaching out to new CA, TX and TN companies!  We also have Mark McKay on board handling all Operations – all the stuff I’m bad at like programing phones and fixing computers. He created our new logo!  Amanda will still handle all our accounting and billing.  We’re off and running to an exciting new adventure.

Looking forward to the company's future.
