In yesterday's post we discussed a little about the EXIT interview. I learned this morning in Gregg Burkhalter's post that 50.5 million Americans voluntarily quit their job in 2022. It means that there were a lot of exit interviews going on. I think it is safe to say that a larg

I continually receive emails showing methods to hire new employees faster. Hiring faster can and usually does means making a hiring mistake. There is an old phrase that goes something like this "Hire slow but fire

Yesterday, Suzy Welch posted on LinkedIn an article about how difficult it is to read a resume these days. I fully concur. I do not know if it because many people use a professional resume writer and therefore the resume does not reflect the person's real personality, or they be

I hope that everyone had a GREAT Independence Day celebration. In Atlanta they celebrate the day by holding the Peachtree Road race. It is a 10K event that more than 60,000 plus runners, joggers and walkers take part in. It is an incredible event. I have participated in many of

Did you watch today's video by Brian Burns on LinkedIn? If not I recommend it, especially if you are seeking a new job. He talks about sales and differentiating yourself, so you are not regarded as a commodity in the eyes of your customer or potential customer. If you are regard

You can go a half hour watching CNBC or other business news channels without seeing a report about AI. Since November, 2022 that is been THE story. What is it? How can I use it? How w

This morning Gregg Burkhalter, The LinkedIn Guy, shared an article on personnel branding. While reading it I thought about the many people who I get resumes from that do not offer a reason for the company to hire them. I got one yesterday from a family friend who recently got la

If you are a candidate for a new job, it is very important that you do not get hired by the wrong company for the wrong job. It has happened to me twice. The first time I was already working for the company. It was my third job after serving in the US Army for two years. The co

Yesterday I met with the owner of a company in the healthcare industry that experiences very little employee turnover. This company works with clients/patients in a very regulated industry and all their workers must have some form of certification or licenses or even both. I was

A recent McKinsey survey reported that 39% of respondence said they are leaving their jobs within 3 - 6 months. Pretty incredible. What does the employee turnover rate look like at your company? Is this a big problem in your company? Is new employee hirin

We all know that most companies have an employee retention problem. How often has this become a factor in your company? One of the major reasons for employee turnover today is a lack of trust. Fortune 500 companies announcing large downsizing of employees. The thought naturally
