I like helping people a lot but not so much if they are only trying to help themselves.

I like helping people a lot but not so much if they are only trying to help themselves. In 2004 I changed how I hire people and you folks discussed that (see: http://www.slideshare.net/BrookeAllen1/brooke-allen-has-a-be... ) Since then I've become more public about how the job market is broken and how it might get fixed. A year ago when I retired from Wall Street finding ways of improving the market for work has become a major passion project of mine. I have connected with many people and helped them change how they hire or helped them with an article or blog post they are writing. But one downside is that I often get requests from total strangers to help them get a job and - to be frank - I find these requests a imposition. I did not understand why I felt this way until reading this piece by Nick Corcodilos. Brooke (BrookeAllen.com)
