Dewey Bozella IS attitude

Oct 15, 2011 | 1

I meet people everyday who are apathetic, accepting of the status quo, even when it is harmful. In walks Dewey Bozella.. A man who says a man's reputation is worth everything if he's fighting for a worthy cause. Because of that attitude he is going to achieve his lifelong dream tonight...…

This is a call to action for my colleagues in the recruiter community. It's true, every time there is a disaster people respond generously with an outpouring of donations to aid agencies. Time passes, a new disaster rocks the earth's axis and we move on, moved by the emotion of the instant high tech news coverage social media has enabled. In the aftermath, people live in tent cities and try to rebuild their lives. Caroll found me.... What can we do for her?…
