"I actually enjoy the process of opening a new location. I've worked through four openings in the last two years in my current role and while the work certainly does increase significantly with each one, I enjoy the excitement and energy of it all. Before the first opening a couple of years ago, my company had the entire HR department go through training on Stephen Covey's 4 quadrant method of time management. We were able to use the skills we gained in the course to help us identify which tasks were the most urgent and important to be tackled immediately and which tasks could be put off until after the openings. On the Talent Acquisition team specifically, we also decided to have each team member take on a certain job level which helped us stay focused. One of us took on entry-level jobs, another person tackled managers, and I focused on leadership positions only. It created efficiencies since we weren't each trying to switch between the types of resumes we were reviewing, interview question sets, onboarding packages, etc."
