How time is flying!!!
It's now coming up to exactly 3 months this Friday since I along with the rest of my colleagues were made redundant.
This is the lowest and most frustrated I've ever felt trying to secure a new role to the point its making me feel unemployable and what am I going to do now which is ridiculous given my experience gained over almost 8 years in the sector.
I've never been this long out of work, nor have I had as many applications rejected or interviews without securing a role based on not having managed clients within specific sectors.
Before joining GKA I hadn't any experience of Telecoms yet I managed 1 client for almost 4 years that grew to be the company's single largest employer for new starts year on year with the highest success rate.
I managed the programme to within an inch of its life to make it the success it was. This was down to my drive, professionalism, management, communication and ability to forge professional and personal relationships with leaders and mentors. Every Friday I would have a catch-up meeting with my manager and every week he'd say "I've nothing to say Rich you've got everything in-hand".
You can learn a new sector, you can learn a new standard so employers/recruiters please don't overlook good people who have experience, the personality and figures to back up their success.
Hiring managers, have a conversation around the CV, talk about the candidates experience, challenges, figures, success and let it flow naturally so you get to see that persons passion for what they do and why they do it, not asking 5-point competency questions which let's be honest make most people uncomfortable and is so robotic!
There are only so many jobs around the house that need doing and box sets you can watch and I'm more hungry than ever to get back doing what I love and seeing learners achieve.
