My Dream Job…Finding David a Great Job at Virgin Galactic

Legacy
I am a technical recruiter, I help companies find professional talent to make business better. Over the last 19 years, I have helped over 1000 people find great jobs. My life's dream has always been to work with Virgin; I love companies that create products and services that make life better for all.
Four Weeks Ago My Dream Came True
Virgin Galactic reached out to me to help them find a principal software engineer who would build their next generation space technology. And without hesitation, I jumped right in, excited to fulfill my life's long dream, I worked 16 hour days for a week and a half. In that time, I found a number of very qualified candidates. Included a candidate named David. We talked about the importance of working on technology that will change people's lives; and we bonded. He had a phone interview that lasted 20 minutes, and Virgin flew out the next day for an in person interview.
At the end of the day, I found out Virgin Galactic was hiring David...he was driving to the airport, and I called his wife on the east coast to inform her that her husband got the job. We both jumped for joy. Then, I talked to David, when he was just about to board the plane. It was one of the best days of my life. David and I will be life long friends....
I am grateful to have had the chance to get David a job that will change his life for good, and to help Virgin Galactic find a new employee that will develop tomorrow's most amazing technology.
Life sometimes rewards us the most unexpected gifts.
One more special thanks to Virgin Galactic, proceeds from my recruiting placement fee will help sponsor creative writing parties in Santa Monica to inspire and reward people who participate and use their imagination; travel destinations to see the world for good. And that will create life-long dreams for someone else, or give them hope, or change their life.
I am a headhunter with a heart, I am passionate, and care about the welfare of all my candidates, clients, and their families; they afford me the opportunity to do what I love and together we change the course of history....and make life better for all.
What is your life long dream?
