John Zurek: Recruiter of Next Week in the Network!

This man has worked in the recruiting profession since 1996. This man has been a member of Top Echelon’s recruiting network for over 20 years. And he’s made 76 Network placements since joining TE.

This man’s unique insight, worldview, and sense of humor have made the TE Discussion Forum a more interesting place for the past 18 years. This man is John Zurek of Zurek Professional Resources, LLC and he is the first member in the history of Top Echelon to be named the Recruiter of Next Week!

Anybody who knows John should not be surprised by this. Why is he the Recruiter of Next Week? Because he was busy this week. As you can see, John puts a high premium on common sense. So when you see there is no Recruiter of the Week in The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog next week, remember that it’s actually John.

(You might argue that John has, in effect, made himself the Recruiter of the Week for two different weeks, not one. If you were to argue this, then you would sum up the genius that is John Zurek.)

John Zurek: work, not worry

But enough of me talking about John. We call John to the stage to talk about John, specifically about his success as a member of Top Echelon Network:

“I was honored to receive notification that I was named Recruiter of the Week. I have been a TEN member for more than 22 years, which is more than 1,100 weeks. Apparently, TE is finally getting to the bottom of the list of 1,100 members.

“It is OK. I have been a faithful member of the network and enjoyed the continual learning experiences with members and enjoyed the relationships which have come and gone for whatever reasons. New ones keep arising and I feel good about that.

“For as jovial and disconnected from the stress of recruiting I may seem to be, I truly paid my dues in emotions. While working with affiliates who were desperate in attitude and tone, it was apparent that I was not alone. I found relief in this simple strategy similar to the Field of Dreams mystical voice, ‘If you build it . . .’

“‘If you work, you will experience success.’ Too simple? Taking it a step further, let’s add ‘If you worry, you will be miserable.’ The theory is this: Work your day to the best of your ability. Shut it down at 5 p.m. The next day, work your day to the best of your ability. Repeat for 20+ years. Results will reflect how hard and smart you work.

“I lost faith in worrying. It has yet to serve me and it will always hurt me. If you invest the mind power in worrying, you can instead invest the mind power in working. Which one will produce the results you want?”

JZ, AV29 (like there is another JZ, right?)
