  • Happy to actually see Krista after knowing her blog for so long.

    Would have liked to hear about some examples of her put-on-her-thinking-cap searches. It was very high level and abstract in the video.

    The "What would motivate you to move in your career?" doesn't sound like such an incredible relationship-builder. I must be missing something.

    She's a generalist. I don't meet many of those. That's what I am and I've always thought it was a mistake.

    I'd like to have Krista on the Recruiting Animal Show to dig into those issues.
