My team and I were excited to head up to Oshkosh this week for the Oshkosh Placement Exchange! As a part of the candidate orientation, I was asked to serve on an employer panel; the audience was primarily job-seekers coming straight out of college or a Master's program. One of the prepared questions was "what's some advice you'd give yourself now as a first- time job-seeker?". I asked my team the question on the drive up and this is what they said: ✔ Don't get discouraged by the no's. They don't define you or your skills and abilities. ✔ Don't compare your job search to others', especially in your cohort- everyone's timelines are different. ✔ Be your authentic self in the interview ✔ Do your research and figure out how to compare salary, health insurance, and other benefits before it's time to accept an offer ✔Know your worth

There is immense amount of talent left on the table when internationally trained professionals cannot practice in their industry. Thanks to the partnership with Spring Institute for Intercultural Learning and Colorado Workforce Development Council, we are drawing out that talent to benefit our economy, society, and most importantly, individual lives. Working directly with Reza, I continue to learn a few things: 1) Everyone's journey is unique. Take time to listen and seek to understand the unique barriers, strengths, and personalities of individuals. 2) Connections are vital. Arriving in the US, people have limited networks. I witness unmatched benefit when my participants get a warm hand-off to other local non-profits, government agencies, education institutions, and simply good-hearted community members. We need each other! 3) Good policies and programs can provide the avenue and resources that might otherwise not exist for specific populations, such as internationally trained professionals who are ready to fill workforce gaps and contribute to our communities. We need more! Most importantly, well done to Reza! Even though there is a still a long way to go, your dedication and passion is inspiring!
