Passion, knowledge, desire and ability are key components for any good professional. Emotion can be disruptive yet constructive in the eyes, mind and opinion of others who do not have the same level or degree of passion for the profession.


I have used the Urban spelling of 'Trifector' rather than the conventional spelling Trifecta 

[definition - "a type of bet, especially on horse races, in which the bettor must select the first three   finishers inexact order"] - mind you for recruiting I wonder if the later would be more appropriate?

The ramblings below are aimed at HR/Hiring Managers, ATS developers/programmers/analysts, Recruiters, Job Seekers (passive or active), Business decision makers - If you allow the status quo of today to frame the actions of tomorrow you are setting yourself for a fall - I can think of several famous Canadian Technology companies who prove this point.

CONSTRUCTIVE Change (CC) - is in every professionals life and businesses operations. The ability to keep up to-date with best practices and future developments in your professional field does not make you a Change Agent, just a professional who is capable of treading water. CC comes about from considering the numerous DI activities, applying EI to each one and then become the driving force behind CC as the Change Agent for the profession/business...


Question to ponder - If Infographics are being used increasingly, when will businesses permit a visual graphics of an individuals career [replace CV or resume] to be considered and processed by their ATS?  Just asking!!!
