MagicMethod Phone Sourcing Classroom Chat Log Tuesday, November 18, 2008

[Maureen Sharib]

Best Remark of the Day
"Well, we use as many resources as we can touch. As far as phone sourcing what we usually do is map out a phone system of a gov contracting company but when we do that we don't pull out any titles. How do you get the titles? Keep in mind these people hold high level security clearances and they don't just spill the beans as easily as non-cleared folks." ~ Rachael
