GenZ entrepreneur disrupting the status quo⚡ to empower brands who can't understand my generation. I challenge old strategies & deliver modern insights/solutions that future-proof orgs for Gen Z/Alpha era. #TryAndStopMe
I've been getting a lot of questions about the event we're putting on, so I wanted to answer some of the most common ones: ✨ Is this a job fair? Technically, no. This event is a conversational roundtable featuring young people and professionals alongside employers and leaders. It's a chance to share perspectives about each other and discuss how we can overcome generational obstacles as a community. ✨ This event is FREE! Originally, we considered a fee to cover costs, but I wanted to be fair and absorb the cost as an investment. ✨ This is NOT confrontational. This isn't about hearsay. We'll be using statistics and key indicators observed within our community to facilitate discussion. ✨ Who's participating? We'll have students from high schools and colleges across the Springfield-Branson metro area. This includes international students, Springfield-Branson natives, and those planning to leave or enter the workforce. ✨ The goal? To share perspectives and find common ground.

Great work. As Bonita (Burton) Miyagi explains: “Diversity absolutely has an impact on shaping modern journalism. Newsrooms that embrace diversity are better equipped to represent the communities we serve. Employing a diverse staff helps us challenge biases and assumptions, leading to more balanced and nuanced reporting. When journalists from underrepresented communities have a seat at the table, they can shed light on issues that often go overlooked or misrepresented. All of this helps us build and maintain trust with our customers. And internally, this richer exchange of ideas enhances newsroom culture and ultimately leads to better journalism. It’s not just a moral argument, it’s a business argument, as Harvard notes here.” https://lnkd.in/gpuZGzTw
Today we filled our last current newsroom opening, and these numbers show how every hire truly matters. It has taken a decade of intentional recruiting, hiring, training, development and retention efforts to build a newsroom that is more diverse and inclusive than ever. * Sometimes that means holding a job open longer then you’d like. * Sometimes it means spending fruitless hours at job fairs, speaking to glassy eyed students in classrooms and swallowing your introvertednes at networking events to connect with that one right person. * Sometimes it means giving challenging assignments to less experienced people so they can BECOME experienced. * Sometimes it means creating a new staffing tier to develop an internal leadership pipeline. * Sometimes it means promoting someone in-house who will need more support than an outside candidate would. * Sometimes it means examining your own biases, owning your missteps and adjusting your approach. * It definitely means that men, women and people of color are all needed at the decision-making table together. Special thank you to Nick Feely and Denise Ritter for their unwavering commitment to this.

Hey, employers! The Centennial High School JAG classes would like to invite you to their Spring Hiring Fair on May 9. This is a unique opportunity for local businesses/organizations to conduct open interviews with soon-to-be high school graduates interested in a variety of fields. This hiring fair is unlike most hiring fairs in that it is a REVERSE fair; the students are the ones on display for this fair! Each student will have a table make that best represents his/her desired career and educational aspirations. They will be showcasing what they are hoping to do and they types of jobs they are looking for. Employers can then walk around to talk to specific students who best fit the job/apprenticeship which they are looking to fill. The goal of this hiring fair is to have all students either be offered a job, apprenticeship, or enrollment into a specific post-secondary training program that gives them valuable experience in their desired career fields. If interested, please contact CHS JAG teacher Megan Haynes at megan.haynes@wcs.edu. If you know of other employers or apprenticeship programs who might be interested in attending, please share the our flyer with them!

Content is king! But to truly captivate your audience your content must be compelling and engaging, merely posting isn't enough. 💡 Here's the harsh truth: if your content doesn't grab attention, it's essentially money down the drain. 💸 Investing in compelling content is about driving engagement, and ultimately, driving results. 📈 #StopTheScroll Check out this recent video I produced for Candibots as part of a series to promote their upcoming job fair.

Community Manager & Content Developer | Ed ➡️ Healthcare Tech | Fighter for Accessible & Inclusive Livelihood 🦾
I stood out at a virtual job fair with this strategy! 💼 I made my own background that cuts the intros and tailored it to the industry that the job fair is for. Added a QR code with my resume, and had a link in hand to copy+paste in the chat. Did I feel "cringe" at first? Yes. But my small talk felt more straight to the point. It was interesting to see them a bit surprised, but then what I had hoped would happen, happened. There were multiple people in that fair, But I gave hiring managers talking points to start with. My intention was to get more people interested quicker without cutting anyone off or having that initial first small talk that can sometimes be a bit awkward. "Oh! I see you got your highlights behind you." I thought I was insane for having this idea and implementing it, but I'm glad I did. As for the background color, I chose dark green to help contrast easily with the lettering, and well, most good things are green. If you don't want to use green, use dark blue. Then, wear a top that is a lighter color to stand out. Every step of this search, I'm learning that being bold, within reason, is the thing to do. I've been enjoying finding creative ways to execute it. Pair strategies like this with confidence in your voice, and you'll likely stand out from the crowd! 😉 I hope this helps!

You know that episode of The Office where Michael goes to the high school job fair with just a sheet of Dunder Mifflin paper? No company information, no products, no preparation in true Michael fashion 🫠 He means well. He wants to share his passion for the paper biz with everyone who walks past the Dunder Mifflin booth. He wants to invite a dialed in audience to consider a new perspective. He wants to give value and show people the magic that happens when they work together. Instead — because Michael doesn’t give anyone a reason to pay attention — the Dunder Mifflin booth blends into the background and the day ends with no new recruits. 👉 Trying to book guest appearances on relevant, aligned podcasts without a strategy is Michael Scott at the job fair. 👈 No direction + no preparation = no interest. To fix that, you’ll need to consider: ✅ exactly who you’re trying to reach ✅ where they already listen to pods, and ✅ how your expertise fills the gap Then come up with an outreach strategy that connects you with hosts who are excited to have those conversations. Waiting to be noticed or guesting on any podcast that will have you isn’t targeting your audience. All the pieces of podcast guesting strategy take thought and effort, but once you’ve got direction and preparation… It’s not hard (that’s what she said).

A few of my recent conversations with young professionals have had a theme: how do you get the job you really want? My answer is pretty simple: keep asking for it. Moxy gets you farther than you may think, and it has for me. When I wanted to be an intern in the United States Senate, I found out the name of Senator Hillary Clinton's intern coordinator and sat in the lobby until he had time to speak with me. While he couldn't hire me, he did walk me down the hall to Senator Jon Corzine's Office and hand them my resume. They hired me on the spot. When I wanted to be a Deputy District Attorney, I applied for court certified law clerk positions. I didn't get an interview with Washington County, so I approached them at a job fair and asked why. They said they didn't think I'd be available as much as they needed me to be since I went to school a couple hours away. I assured them that wouldn't be an issue, so they interviewed and hired me. Keep telling people what you want and asking how to get there. #determination #jobadvice
