Being a stay-at-home parent is a full-time job. I left my career as a Corrections Officer before my second deployment, and once I got home, I hit the ground running. I’ve earned my Associate’s degree in Business Administration, taken advantage of LinkedIn Learning, and explored free professional development courses—all while starting a family and shifting to full-time caregiver. I don’t know exactly what the future holds, but I do know that growth doesn’t have to stop! #linkedinlearning #professionaldevelopment #stayathomeparent

One of the advantages of being a recruiter is that you're at the bow of the ship when it comes to seeing employment trends and shifts in the economy. It will be 36 years for me this coming July 5th. I can say with utmost certainty that the economy has slowed a bit and consumer confidence is waning in the face of an upcoming election. When you see companies like Mercury Marine and BRP laying off people, it's a sure sign that people are spending less on leisurely items (boats/motors), and generally being more conscious with their expenditures. I've also heard several people (business owners/managers) in my roundtable group say that they are starting to get unsolicited resumes, which tells me there are more available candidates than we've seen since pre-covid. Even though a slowdown is eminent, we remain very busy because there is still a huge shortage of skilled and technical candidates for many jobs, and several companies are still short staffed. We continue to get orders for a variety of skilled trades and engineering positions. If you or someone you know is looking for a new opportunity, we'd be happy to speak with them.

“able to handle a high volume of work quickly and efficiently” I would really like to see this type of language transformed into something that creates more psychological safety for employees. This sounds overwhelming and unsustainable. My recommendation would be to take out the sentence all together and then ensure that there’s enough staff members so that everyone has just the right amount of work—not high volumes. Certainly employees are hired to get work done. That’s the agreement. But obsession with high volumes of work is creating workplaces with unhealthy levels of stress, high turnover, and low morale. Give people just the right volume of work. Not too low, not too high.

Applies to most of the jobs as of now :)
