We need to stop romanticizing "The Great Resignation". Employees are not leaving en masse to live a life of leisure. They're making the hard life decisions of opting to care for family members, leaving toxic workplaces and walking away from high risk, low pay jobs.

@randomrecruiter @Glassdoor 1. Hiring Manager is late to the interview.
2. Resume is not reviewed in advance.
3. Compensation range is reluctantly provided.
4. Claiming that the company views its employees as "family".
5. Poor/slow communication and follow up.

Employee engagement starts with the first interview.

Career coaches can make a big difference, but before hiring one, make sure you’re ready and willing to put in the work because only you can achieve your goals! #CareerAdvice #CareerTips

Job descriptions that shoot for the moon aren't merely discouraging to solid candidates but they often don't draw in the best talent into an organization.

Every job seeker should have a message. What’s yours? https://t.co/o9qV1ViUnq

@randomrecruiter This is incredibly important! Hitting the "Apply Now" button online typically only achieves minimal results.

As tedious as it is, remember to always keep your @LinkedIn and #resume up to date. Every time you get a “win” at work, update it as soon as you can. The last thing you want to have happen is find yourself looking for a job a year later and struggle to figure out what to write.

Practice your interview technique. Do a mock interview with someone you trust. Get honest feedback and always look to hone your skills.

[Sherri Edwards @ResourceMax]

Social networking allows recruiters easy access to more candidates. If you want to explore new options, then don't be caught off guard, unaware & unprepared if you're unexpectedly contacted by one. Being "seen" is not the same as being "known". #careerdevelopment #jobsearch

[Insight Coaching Solutions @Insight_Coach]

Never underestimate the value of recognition for your team. It's no secret that appreciated employees are happy employees. And happy employees tend to perform better at work.

[Career Focus Network @CareerFocusNet1]

Never forget that the value you have in the marketplace is not determined by whether someone hires you for a particular job. Ignore any naysayers that distract you from achieving your goals. You got this!

There is a direct correlation between the strength of your professional network and your ability to land a great job. #JobSearchTips

Hiring Managers: Forget about pedigree. Instead, look for grit and resilience.

JPMorgan Chase may be building an enlightened new headquarters, but their culture seems unchanged.
They're tracking ID swipes to ensure employees come to the office 3 or more days/wk.
Insider says workers feel a "fear of God" & "panic" over the attendance quotas.

If you truly want to get to know a candidate, ask them open-ended questions and then take the time to really listen to the answers. Looking over a resume and asking a candidate simple yes/no questions isn't very effective. Neither is doing all the talking.

With inflation, workers are facing return-to-office sticker shock

Successful companies always pivot toward the needs of top talent. (And those needs and expectations always change over time.) The ability to be nimble, especially in a tight labor market, will help companies to draw in employees who can deliver results and delight customers.

[Career Focus Network @CareerFocusNet1]

When evaluating the next company you'll work for, focus less on "cool" and more on practical items. Good healthcare, a strong 401k, & employee growth opportunities matter more than free yoga classes and a pet friendly office environment. Those are 'nice to haves'.
