🚨 PROMOTION ALERT 🚨 Let me tell you about this ambitious young man, Jeison Hernandez. Back in December, Jeison walks into one of my stores with a résumé in hand, and says he’s looking for work. I interviewed him, and immediately noticed his potential. Jeison joined my team as an entry level sales associate a few days after Christmas, 2023. Since then, not only has he upheld the company and district values consistently, but he took on additional responsibility just to prove himself. He wanted to show me that he can do the job even without a title! Any time I needed someone to help with emergency coverage, he was the first one to step to the plate. Anytime I was unavailable to support another employee, he took the initiative to help out. When his shift ended for the day, and the business was still busy, he stayed off the clock to support his peers. Granted, I still made sure to compensate him for his time! Whenever he was presented with an obstacle, the first thing Jeison thinks about is what he CAN do to fix it, not about what he CAN’T do. All of this, without ask! As a result of his unconditional efforts, he was promoted to a Team Leader (Assistant Manager) in March, 2024. Following a successful February in his store, Jeison ended the first quarter of the year with 106% to his monthly Gross Profit target! Today, he was promoted to Store Manager for his Jackson Heights, Queens store. I love sharing internal growth stories such as this one, because tenure doesn’t necessarily dictate if someone should move up the ladder of hierarchy. But rather their merit, how they uphold the values of the community, extreme ownership, integrity, unconditional efforts and being able to keep their head high when during the HIGHS & the LOWS! I am hopeful that I will be able to share more stories like this in 2024 ⚡️ #PromotionStory #CP4L #CricketWireless #InternalGrowth #InvestInTheFrontline

Hi friends! With the announcement of my new career services business, Kylie Michele Careers I wanted to talk about my vision, the inspiration behind the company and what it can do for you! For years I have negotiated with and built teams for some of the world’s top product and design leaders across companies like Airbnb, Reddit, Inc., Atlassian and Ironclad. For a while, being able to bring in women, Black, brown and disabled folks gave me my purpose. It showed me that I could have an amazing career while also bringing some good to the world. But at the end of the day, recruiters are on the company’s team - not yours. Now, the best recruiters are absolutely on your team, but we are pressured by recruiting leadership to churn and work at a pace that’s untenable. When I got laid off from Reddit after doing some of the best work of my life rebuilding their entire UX recruiting organization, it killed me. I had incredibly strong performance, I had made a huge difference to the company and I was working with really talented people. But that’s the nature of capitalism and recruiting. The thought of going back into recruiting during this nightmare market, where recruiters are either out of work or worked to the bone, sounded awful. I’m tired. I’ve done 5 years straight of hyper growth and the pace was killing me. So I decided to get out of the tech rat race. I decided to take a bet on myself, and use my knowledge and expertise and almost decade of experience recruiting to bring that knowledge to you. With companies making record profits and using the excuse of “it’s just business” when they are laying you off, taking away your source of income, livelihood - well then, in my opinion, it’s just business to enable workers as much as we possibly can. My programs and 1:1 strategic sessions are focused on that - giving the power back to you. Enabling you to take as much money from corporations to make sure you thrive. They are certainly doing that for themselves, why not you? Let’s rewrite the narrative. If tech is backed up by full HR teams, lawyers, finance teams, etc., why wouldn’t you deserve to be fully enabled too? I promise you, having a recruiter that knows the ins and outs of finance teams, hiring mangers, interview processes, will absolutely ensure you get a higher income, better titles and a full optimized career. You deserve it <3 Tell me in the comments what you want to know from a former recruiter that knows all the ins and outs of the business and check out my programs below; https://lnkd.in/gNYHVUEa

Building a successful school starts with hiring the right people—those who will carry your mission forward and implement it daily. Beyond qualifications, look for candidates with a growth mindset—those who are open to learning, asking questions, and sharing ideas. A great way to assess this is by having them spend time in the classroom, observing and interacting with children to see how they connect and adapt. When interviewing candidates, it’s essential to listen carefully to how they talk about their previous work environments and kids or parents. While it’s natural for someone to seek growth or a new environment, the way they frame their experiences can reveal their approach to challenges and how they might integrate into your team. Understanding their philosophy through these conversations will help determine whether they align with your school’s values and structure. Ultimately, hiring isn’t just about filling roles. It’s about building a team that grows with your school and supports its mission, creating a positive environment for both students and the team. #hopscotchhub

I hired someone with ZERO Amazon experience. I wasn’t even sure what position I would put her in. Why did I hire her? Because she showed up. Everywhere. Every conference.  Every webinar.  Every post. Passion trumped experience. She wanted to learn and was willing to put in the work to do so. We created a role.  She excelled.  Transformed our processes.  Boosted client satisfaction. When you spot raw talent and drive: Hire first. Figure out the details later. Great team members are rare. Don't let them slip away. Hire for potential, not just experience. Because sometimes, the perfect candidate doesn't fit the perfect job description. They create it. PS. I’m hiring.  - Senior PPC Strategist / Senior Amazon PPC Manager - Social Media and Marketing Specialist - Amazon Account Manager / Brand Manager - JR.

30 years in the professional world. Hundreds of hires. Endless lessons learned. But one lesson stands out: Hiring for cultural fit is overrated. Here’s a story to illustrate why. A few years ago, I hired a candidate who didn’t “fit.” They didn’t share our hobbies. Their background was different. But their vision? Exceptional. This person didn't just fit into our culture. They contributed. They challenged norms. Brought fresh ideas. And pushed us to new heights. Our team became dynamic. Our projects more innovative. Our workplace more inclusive. So, the next time you’re hiring, ask yourself: Are you looking for someone who fits? Or someone who contributes? Think about the potential they bring. Not just how well they fit in. Because when you hire for contribution, you’re not just building a team. You’re building a legacy. What’s your hiring philosophy? Share your thoughts below.
