\/><\/a>-->I realize I may be more of a risk taker than most.\u00a0 I often tend to push the envelope.\u00a0 I believe there is always a better way of doing something than the way it is being done today.\u00a0 There are times in life when staying put and blending into the crowd makes sense.\u00a0 There are other times, however, when you have to seize the moment.\u00a0 I have done both.<\/p>\n<p>Risks are necessary.\u00a0 They should be calculated.\u00a0 There are times in your life when you are at a crossroads.\u00a0 As a recruiter I see them in individuals all of the time.\u00a0 There is the safe play and there is the play that could yield higher results.\u00a0 There are a number of things to think about before making the jump to a high risk situation.\u00a0 Timing is everything when taking a risk.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bullseyerecruiting.net\/from-blog-to-business-the-transformation-of-bulls-eye-recruiting\/\">Bulls Eye Recruiting did not happen overnight<\/a>.\u00a0 The idea of Bulls Eye Recruiting started over 3 years ago.\u00a0 I knew I wanted to make a change and I knew I had more to offer than being a corporate recruiter, but timing was not right.\u00a0 I held a number of jobs before finally making the move this year.\u00a0 I knew that it was a hot market for recruiting, I had enough money saved up to make a change and I had people who I knew would be good clients.\u00a0 It was a good time to take a risk and it has turned out to be the best risk I have ever taken.<\/p>\n<p>I sat down with my wife and we discussed the option of me going to work for another corporation as a corporate recruiter or trying something new.\u00a0 Going off on my own was a challenge and quite honestly I was terrified.\u00a0 If it weren&#8217;t for my wife who encouraged me to go for it, we would never have embarked on this chapter in our lives.\u00a0 We were at a crossroads just like many of you reading this blog are in your lives.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know the whole story of every candidate I talk with about a job.\u00a0 The statement &#8220;everyone is struggling with something that no one else knows about&#8221; is so true.\u00a0 There may be extenuating circumstances in your life that prevent you from making a change or taking a risk.\u00a0 I realize that there is so much involved in taking a risk.<\/p>\n<p>I am writing this because I am going to take a wild stab and say that <a href=\"http:\/\/bullseyerecruiting.net\/if-you-are-feeling-uncomfortable-you-are-doing-something-right\/\">you are unable to make a change because of fear<\/a>.\u00a0 Fear is not a good answer for not taking a risk.\u00a0 You will never grow if you have fear.\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/bullseyerecruiting.net\/the-paralyzed-candidate-what-you-are-missing\/\">You are not going to get ahead in life if you don&#8217;t take a risk<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Personal situations aside, let&#8217;s look at 2015 and why it is one of the best years ever to take a risk.\u00a0 I wouldn&#8217;t have suggested you make a job change or a career change 3-4 years ago if you had a stable situation, but this is a banner year for employment and you will be kicking yourself for playing the &#8220;safe bet&#8221; this year.<\/p>\n<p>You have to ask yourself the question: &#8220;What is the worst thing that could happen&#8221;?\u00a0\u00a0 The answer I get most often is &#8220;I will lose my job&#8221;.\u00a0 Okay, so what!\u00a0 In the best job economy we have seen in a decade, that is what you are worried about?\u00a0\u00a0 So things don&#8217;t work out.\u00a0 The company loses funding.\u00a0 You get laid off?\u00a0 There is another job around the corner waiting for you.\u00a0 I can guarantee it.\u00a0 I am seeing it every day.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the best job opportunities we have seen are out there this year.\u00a0 It will be lucrative and fun.\u00a0 You should enjoy the ride.\u00a0 Take the risk.\u00a0 Join the company that you wouldn&#8217;t consider a couple of years ago.\u00a0 I want to hear your story next year.\u00a0 Don&#8217;t miss out!<\/p>\n<p><a
