We need to stop romanticizing "The Great Resignation". Employees are not leaving en masse to live a life of leisure. They're making the hard life decisions of opting to care for family members, leaving toxic workplaces and walking away from high risk, low pay jobs.
👇💯You only get back what you willing to put into it!
Career coaches can make a big difference, but before hiring one, make sure you’re ready and willing to put in the work because only you can achieve your goals! #CareerAdvice #CareerTips
Job descriptions that shoot for the moon aren't merely discouraging to solid candidates but they often don't draw in the best talent into an organization.
Every job seeker should have a message. What’s yours? fastcompany.com/90741311/eve…

Practice your interview technique. Do a mock interview with someone you trust. Get honest feedback and always look to hone your skills.

Social networking allows recruiters easy access to more candidates. If you want to explore new options, then don't be caught off guard, unaware & unprepared if you're unexpectedly contacted by one. Being "seen" is not the same as being "known". #careerdevelopment #jobsearch

Never underestimate the value of recognition for your team. It's no secret that appreciated employees are happy employees. And happy employees tend to perform better at work.
Never forget that the value you have in the marketplace is not determined by whether someone hires you for a particular job. Ignore any naysayers that distract you from achieving your goals. You got this!
There is a direct correlation between the strength of your professional network and your ability to land a great job. #JobSearchTips

JPMorgan Chase may be building an enlightened new headquarters, but their culture seems unchanged.
They're tracking ID swipes to ensure employees come to the office 3 or more days/wk.
Insider says workers feel a "fear of God" & "panic" over the attendance quotas.

If you truly want to get to know a candidate, ask them open-ended questions and then take the time to really listen to the answers. Looking over a resume and asking a candidate simple yes/no questions isn't very effective. Neither is doing all the talking.
With inflation, workers are facing return-to-office sticker shock

Successful companies always pivot toward the needs of top talent. (And those needs and expectations always change over time.) The ability to be nimble, especially in a tight labor market, will help companies to draw in employees who can deliver results and delight customers.
When evaluating the next company you'll work for, focus less on "cool" and more on practical items. Good healthcare, a strong 401k, & employee growth opportunities matter more than free yoga classes and a pet friendly office environment. Those are 'nice to haves'.

Use the STAR method when answering questions during a job #interview. Include a clear Situation, Task, Action, and Result. #InterviewTips

Interview Tip: Leave plenty of time to get to the interview. Rushing breeds panic. No matter what excuse you have, lateness is noted and creates a negative impression. Allowing waiting time gives you time to compose yourself, gather your thoughts, and be mentally prepared. – at Cape Town, South Africa
