SGES quoted in USNEWS.com “How to Cash in on the Economic Recovery”
Thursday, March 15th, 2012Looking at a New Charity
Tuesday, November 29th, 2011SGES and the www.susangoldbergsearch.com website is changing, which started in March of this year. Our latest change will be our choice for the non-profit we chose to support. The previous local charity will be replaced in the month of December, once Susan has interviewed the potential non-profits to choose which one goes best with our brand identity, and has determined which organization will most appreciate and benefit from our support. We decided to retire our affiliation with our original choice, which had been in place for two years, and move on as it became clear that our support was not making the difference we thought it would. It was the right time to help another worthwhile cause. What will the cause be? What will the organization look like? Please “stay tuned” for our update, and, meanwhile we’ll give you a clue: look closely at key words on the homepage of our website.
Article addressing “Why Change Jobs?” written by Susan Goldberg published on Wednesday
Friday, June 11th, 2010The article written for this week’s addition of “Woman Around Town” addresses two life changing events: getting married and changing one’s job. The title “Change is Good: Are You The Bride or the Cellphone” incorporates the two topics discussed in the article: planning a wedding while not jeopardizing your job, and, when and why to consider a job change. The wedding topic was part of the week’s special edition devoted to June weddings. The job change topic was a response to a reader who asked, “why interview, if your job isn’t broken”. It includes a list of reasons to change jobs despite the fact that the current job may be adequate. The cellphone is used as an analogy that refers to an individual and their career and is explained in the piece.

“Latest Trends in Interview Questions” article written by Susan Goldberg, published this week
Wednesday, May 19th, 2010As a follow up to the “Interviewing Secrets” presentation given at Carole Hyatt’s networking salon, Susan Goldberg wrote an article for “Woman Around Town” focused on the specific topic of the changing trend in interview questions. “Latest Trends in Interview Questions – The “It” Factor is the “Fit” Factor” was published in this week’s “Woman Around Town”. It points to the influence of an uncertain economy, the abundance of unemployed highly skilled and experienced professionals, the necessity for companies to hire intelligently without wasting time or additional resources, and young business owners (Gen X and those in their 20’s) expectations of surrounding themselves with a tightly-knit group with shared values that they have become accustomed to all their life, as the drivers of a change in interview questions being asked by progressive companies.

SGES cited in Forbes.com article “Don’t Get Stumped In The Interview: The New NEW Interview Questions”
Sunday, May 9th, 2010Susan Goldberg and her retained executive search and career coaching firm were mentioned in the most recent edition of Forbes.com in an article about interviewing. The information was drawn from the “Secrets of Interviewing” presentation which Susan had presented at Carole Hyatt’s Salon for networking on March 24, 2010 (see earlier news item), and from a telephone interview and subsequent email exchanges between the journalist and SGES’ Owner and Principal. It appeared from the interview and email exchanges, that what had most interested the journalist, who was in attendance the evening of the presentation, were the specific examples of recent trends in interviewing questions that Susan detailed at the end of the presentation. Those examples were a combination of interviewing questions which Susan, herself, had used for particular retained search clients who were trying to determine the potential employee fit for their organization along with those questions which she gathered from discussions with a sample of cutting-edge small business owners for the same purpose. The specific questions will be discussed in an upcoming article in “Woman Around Town”.
