Here's something good to read:

But what if they ask me about ..... > the career gaps on my CV > why my contract ended > why I'm available immediately > why I left my previous job > why I'm not working right now > why I've changed jobs so many times > why I've had an extended career break These sorts of fears have come up in conversations recently with people applying for roles wondering how a potential employer might view their current situation. Have you been asking yourself the same sorts of questions? I don't think you should apologise for your life experience. There are all sorts of reasons why things happen. Be clear, concise and authentic in your response. It's perfectly acceptable to have other priorities, especially when it comes to family, or to want a role that better fits your purpose, values and career aspirations. Highlight how you've used the time or experience for personal growth, acquiring new skills, or focusing on significant projects that have prepared you for this next opportunity. Better still, come and join me for The Get Hired System—this is a short programme starting on 28th May. I'll teach you how to use LinkedIn to attract your dream role and give you my best tips and guidance based on my 25 years of experience as a hiring manager. During the four-week boot camp, you'll be able to ask me anything so that you feel confident and ready to shine in your next interview.

Taking a buffer week between jobs is like a mini vacation sponsored by your new employer. But remember, it's not a 'job hunt extension' pass! Attending interviews during this time is like bringing your own snacks to a fancy restaurant - it just doesn't sit right. Keep it chill, recharge, and save the job hunts for later. Let's not give companies a reason to cancel buffer weeks altogether! Capcon

@EveningEdit @FoxBusiness @LizMacDonaldFox. Stellantes, the car manufacturer, just announced laying off 2,500 jobs. Manufacturing ranked eleventh on the list of industries that created jobs under this administration. So, yes, the initial numbers are woefully overstated, and it's about time they got honest. The job market is tight, and we'll see it in the unemployment numbers. We saw it last month, and we'll see it go up again. https://lnkd.in/em__r2nV

⁉ Cost Effectiveness of Using Staffing Agencies vs In-house Recruiting ⁉ When it comes to recruitment, efficiency and cost-effectiveness are key considerations for any business. Choosing between in-house recruiting and outsourcing to staffing agencies is a significant decision. Here’s why many businesses find staffing agencies to be the more cost-effective option: 1. Reduced Overhead Costs: In-house recruiting requires a dedicated HR team, which includes salaries, benefits, and training costs for the recruiters. In contrast, staffing agencies absorb these overhead expenses themselves. By leveraging their services, companies avoid the financial burden of supporting an extensive in-house team. 2. Faster Hiring Reduces Downtime: Staffing agencies expedite the hiring process. They have extensive networks and a ready pool of candidates who can fill vacancies much quicker than traditional in-house efforts. This rapid placement minimizes the downtime associated with unfilled positions, which can be costly in terms of lost productivity. 3. Lower Recruitment Costs: Advertising job openings, conducting background checks, and negotiating contracts can all add up financially. Staffing agencies streamline these processes and offer them as part of their service package. This bundled approach can lead to significant savings compared to handling these costs individually. 4. Flexibility with Temporary Staffing: Businesses face fluctuations in workload, and staffing agencies offer the flexibility to hire on a temporary basis. This means companies pay for labor only when it is needed, avoiding the financial commitment of full-time salaries and the legal complexities associated with layoffs. 5. Reduced Risk of Bad Hires: A bad hire can be expensive, considering the recruitment, training, and potential termination costs. Staffing agencies specialize in recruitment and are adept at vetting candidates, significantly lowering the risk of a mismatch and the subsequent costs. In summary, staffing agencies offer a more cost-effective, flexible, and efficient solution for recruitment needs. They allow businesses to leverage expertise and resources in a way that reduces costs and enhances operational flexibility, proving to be a smart choice for cost-conscious companies.

People you are interviewing aren't aware of your budget. Declare the amount that is within your budget to that person you intend to hire. It's also unfair beginning to ask an interviewee how much they have been earning in their previous work places.

Welcome to the first installment of “Robyn’s Recruiter Tales”, where I serve you up a nice, piping hot story from my candidate journey… Today’s tale is called “Recruiter Who Needs a Rooter” About two weeks ago, I first made contact with a recruiter for a Training Specialist role with a local government entity; she was calling to schedule virtual interviews, but the salary was too low (about a 20% drop from my current). So I politely declined and said if anything changes that I’d love to move forward. Today, that same recruiter called about the same position. She remembered that we had spoken, but nothing had changed on the city’s end in terms of bumping up the salary, so I again politely declined. She then mentioned she wasn’t feeling well because she had a headache from hay fever. Me being the sinus expert I am (I have battled chronic sinusitis for YEARS before I finally figured out what to do), I recommended that she 1) steam her face and 2) use a neti pot if she can take it. If you’ve even tried it, it’s like a Roto-Rooter (get it…Rooter?) for your sinuses. She had seen neti pots but never really paid them any mind. So I explained how neti pots work and what she would need to get to do it safely. I also put her on to a mucus solvent that would help her get some relief too. She thanked me robustly, and we ended our call. Will this interaction help? Maybe, maybe not. But I love to be able to help with something in which I have extensive knowledge. And at the end of the day, I truly hope she finds the right candidate, even if that candidate is not me…and that she feels better too…❤️ #learninganddevelopment #learning #training #noboringlearning
