2 chaps of a fairly mature vintage sharing stories of lows and highs over a gentle beer. Ben Robins used to be my client back when we were both employees at large organisations. We both departed those organisations in neither the time nor manner of our choosing. Yup, the dreaded R of redundancy struck. We both really struggled with the jarring removal of those peculiarly codependent relationships at work that you don't even know you need. You develop a uniquely intimate relationship with your team, forged over time, adversity and successes and to be forcibly divorced from them is a shock. From flying along in the jumbo jet of corporate land, knowing the flight plan, to being hoofed out of the emergency exit mid-air, with a rudimentary parachute and no training how to use it, let alone knowing where your safe landing zone is.... Starting again is hard and some of muscles have lain dormant for a while but as we discussed yesterday, we know how to do it, but had forgotten some of the skills. That which has been forgotten can perhaps be remembered with the right help and support. To access such support (& kindness) of others, we have to say something and admit/ask. Funny how many people will jump to your aid if you do and equally funny (but no ha ha), how many don't and rarely the ones you think.... Uplifting to see you Ben and hear the warts and all story of your next fulfilling steps.... Keep telling stories, they're sometimes like lifeboats. #betteroutthanin #yourenotalone #bettertogether

Tom Cruise Height: A Fantastic Updates on Tom Cruise Career along with the latest Updates

As a seasoned recruiter, I've encountered a multitude of criteria for job specs, but never did I imagine my choice of wheels would be under scrutiny.   Yet, recent overheard gossip in the car park suggests my professional prowess or lack of is somehow linked to my car.........    So, let's dissect the specs:   2008 Q7   Pros: Family-Friendly: With 7 seats, it's the MVP for shuttling 2 adults, 4 kids, and one dog. Reliability: Clocking in at 118k miles, it's seen its fair share of road, yet never left me stranded, even en route to important client visits. Weather Warrior: Equipped with a heated front windscreen and new 2023 wiper blades, it's ready to brave any storm.   Cons: Musical Misfortune: Thanks to a kiddo-induced spillage, the radio's out of commission.  Horsepower? More Like Donkey-Power: It's not winning any drag races, but who needs speed when you've got reliability? Window Woes: Only three out of four electric windows are functional, but hey, it adds character! Out with Chris Quinn on a few client visits today, here's hoping either his small talk is on form or he has a few bangers for carpool karoke in this "banger"!! #recruitmentneverstops Vickerstock

KILLING SUPERMAN! We made this video 4 years ago. The Pandemic was raging and killing. We had some dark thoughts. At AmeriConstruct, when we talk with candidates for Superintendent, Project Manager, Estimator, or other key roles in construction, we want to know their motivation for looking for or considering a new position. Motivation is vital to the recruitment process because it tells us about the candidate's mindset, experience as an employee, and what they need to see (or not see) in their next role - valuable information. Yes, we made this video 4 years ago. No Pandemic now. But concerning to look back and see that nothing has changed in the candidate experience. Candidates are repeating that they are still getting killed by their current or prospective employers! How alarming!! Hiring Managers take note. This is a big reason why you lose your top performers and also stifle your own hiring process and success. Are you killing Superman? Recruiting, hiring, and retaining top talent is a complex endeavor. Don't try it at home! #recruiting #hiring #retention #hiringmanagers #construction https://lnkd.in/gs8-MVY9

Some career advice to famous people. Sometimes it is better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you are an idiot than open it and remove all doubt. "In an X post, Schneider brought up a near-fatal accident during one of United’s flights in late 2022, insinuating it could have been avoided if Kirby’s business wasn’t prioritizing diverse hires and, rather, focused on competent hires." For this to be true requires that the least competent non-diverse pilot be more competent than the most competent diverse pilot. I don't have actual data but the odds of this being true have to be less than the odds of winning the power ball. Stick to comedy Rob, and leave important decisions (like whom to hire) to the adults. https://lnkd.in/ghvZHBfq
