It was 40 years ago today… yeah, yeah, yeah

23rd January 1980.

That’s the date I started as a recruiter.

40 YEARS AGO! TODAY!

$10,000 per annum. Executive Recruiter. John P Young and Associates. Adelaide. South Australia

What a journey since then. What adventures. What trials. What great people.

But after four decades in this most demanding of businesses, there is one overriding emotion I feel.

This one…

If you wish to benefit from my mistakes and the few things I got right over 40 years, please see below.

Congratulations Greg. A mighty achievement. At only 27 years young myself, 40 years is a good goal to emulate. Well done Greg on staying the course. Cheers. Scott.

I started my career Greg, January 4th 1976 in Romford, Essex! 44 fantastic years! My boss in those days Sam Gibson of Turner Charles Ltd Middlesex and said to me if I am still working as a personnel consultant (that's what we were known as back in those days), for one year i will be in recruitment for the rest of my life. The truest words ever spoken to me! We will miss you Greg. (i think you won't retire and be like John Farnham as I have already told you) I hope you keep bouncing back!!!! Alan

Congratulations Greg, a great milestone and one you should be very proud of. It can be a bloody tough business at times but also very rewarding in many ways. In my 24th year now, still learning and being reminded of the simple truths to success in this business that your blogs and videos provide. Thankyou.

Thank you very much indeed Stephen... I appreciate your kind words. 24 years is a pretty impressive shift too, and the best bit is we are all still learning :)
