REO New Grad Tips for Landing a Job Standing out as a new candidate in a competitive job market can feel daunting to recent college graduates. Lack of experience and transferable skills are facts for newbies. Here are some tactics from REO to help new grads land their first position. - Clean up all social media accounts before applying. Recruiters and hiring managers DO check! -- Bulk up your resume by showing off extracurricular activities that show leadership, Greek life, committees and social events, volunteer work, internships, projects, and senior class work that emphasize applicable work skills. -- Build your LinkedIn presence: grow your network and connect with friends, colleagues, and professors. Include your resume and showcase skills. Join trade associations connected to your major and field. Repost articles associated with your job of interest. -- Craft your resume and cover letter to each individual job – make it personal and professional. Use AI for ideas only - do not use it to write your documents (recruiters will know!). -- After applying for a position, contact the hiring manager and express your interest. This greatly improves the chance of your application being given a second look. -- Sharpen interviewing skills by practicing essential questions and know how to present your elevator pitch seamlessly. An interviewer will most likely start the conversation with, “tell me about yourself”. -- Write a personal thank you email after every interview. The message should be concise and personal to your conversation. Ask for next steps in the interview process to show continued interest in the role. -- Attend career fairs, join job sites and network with friends, neighbors, family members and more. A LinkedIn study from 2016 showed that 70% of people land a job through a connection that is in place. -- Keep your chin up, approach every step as a learning opportunity, and keep an open mind. Doors will open as your search gains momentum! #newgrad

Prioritizing Employee Mental Health Based on a SHRM sample study of 1405 workers from early 2024, 39% reported that their employers pretended to care about the mental health of their staff, signaling organizations to reevaluate their policies and how they can better implement for improved change. To stave off employee burnout, which can increase turnover and affect a company’s bottom line, creating a culture where taking earned time off is not frowned upon nor difficult to process through HR is a good starting place. Emphasizing the importance of employee wellness including mental health from the head of leadership down is paramount. Modeling behavior in the workplace will prove a safe and supported space that prioritizes a healthy work/life balance. For more tips click below: https://lnkd.in/g739uW4y

Candidates using AI Generated Resumes on the Rise In a recent survey conducted by Stand-OutCV, a whopping three-quarters of people seeking employment are leaning on technology to write and refine their CV.  Job seekers utilizing AI to produce their resumes could also equate to false or embellished skills and experience. Hiring managers must be savvy in uncovering misrepresentations by digging into the details. Formulating interview questions directly from the interviewee’s resume would immediately expose any lies. Running a resume through GPTZero software will detect AI generated v. human created. It’s also perfectly fine to ask if their resume was AI generated. This would give a candidate the opportunity to talk through their motive. Using AI software to produce a more impressive resume is not necessarily a negative tool if the intention is to assist or guide in writing the document. We cannot deny that advancements in technology will certainly be employed, and as long as the candidate can stand behind the written qualifications, it will become a standard in the job market. Read more from SHRM here: https://lnkd.in/gw5x2bMZ

Workplace Best Practices in a Presidential Election Year As of mid-March, U.S. citizens are witnessing the political climate heating up. With 2024 being an election year, employers should be aware that a recent poll conducted by Zety reveals that 83% of employees discuss politics at work.  Email and text communication are the top workplace channels amongst coworkers and HR needs to be on top of managing employee work stressors during a tumultuous election year. Chatter on both sides of the political aisle, inserting their opinions at work via email or text will build over the next several months. Electronic communication can be misunderstood or misconstrued, deepening the dissention between coworkers. As we navigate a divisive political climate, employers should heed the advice of experts on how to keep the work culture healthy. Tips include: emphasizing teamwork, implementing a 24 hour pause before sending an email, building relationships intentionally and exchanging mindful discourse with coworkers. For more ideas, visit: https://lnkd.in/eBhZdNBe
