CASA DC (Court Appointed Special Advocates for Children of the District of Columbia)’s Post

When we think of "very important jobs," the term can be subjective and context-dependent, but there are several roles across different sectors that are universally considered crucial for the functioning of society. Here are some of the most impactful roles across various fields: 1. Healthcare Workers Doctors, Nurses, Surgeons: These professionals save lives, treat illness, and provide essential care. In particular, frontline workers like emergency room doctors and nurses are vital, especially during pandemics or crises. Public Health Officials: They manage public health crises, oversee vaccination campaigns, and implement health policy. Paramedics and EMTs: They provide emergency medical assistance and transport patients to hospitals, playing a key role in saving lives during accidents or health emergencies. 2. Teachers and Educators Teachers: Teachers shape the future by educating the next generation. From early childhood education to university professors, they provide students with the knowledge and skills to succeed. Special Education Professionals: These educators work with students who have disabilities, ensuring inclusive learning and equal opportunities for all. 3. First Responders Firefighters: They protect people and property from fires and natural disasters, often risking their own lives in the process. Police Officers: They maintain public safety, enforce laws, and protect communities. In times of crisis, law enforcement often becomes the first line of defense. Disaster Response Workers: People who respond to natural and man-made disasters to provide aid and help communities recover. #jobseekers #jobsearch #jobs #hiring #job #jobopportunity #recruitment #jobvacancy #career #hiringnow #jobsearching #jobinterview #jobhunt #nowhiring #jobseeker #employment #careers #jobopening #recruiting #resume #work #jobalert #jobopportunities #jobfair #jobshiring #interview #jobhunting #freshers #jobvacancies #applynow

Common Questions That Could Get HR in Trouble According to Vethan and David Weisenfeld, a legal editor with Brightmine™ HR & Compliance Center, include: - "We are hiring because our business is about to become very busy. Do you have any plans that might interfere with your ability to work full time over the next year?" - "Are you married? Will you be starting a family any time soon?" - "Your name is very exotic; where are you originally from?" - "This job requires the ability to lift things heavier than 20 pounds. Have you had prior medical problems that would prevent you from being able to do so?" - "Did you take any sick days or extended medical leave last year?" - "Do you have children? What kind of childcare arrangements have you made?" - "What year did you graduate college?" PassionHR Consulting, Inc.

Daily Tip: Some nannies have years or even decades of experience and aren’t able to advance in their careers. Experience alone doesn’t make you qualified for a higher-level position or more generous compensation package. You have to demonstrate that your years of experience bring real benefits to the family. That experience has made you a more knowledgeable, skilled, responsive, intuitive, attuned, adaptable caregiver, household support person, and employee with solid expertise around the job requirements. It’s important to continue to ask yourself “What am I learning?” and ”How am I improving?”  #nanny #nannyqualifications

Overpromising when advertising for Speechie's & OT's! Working as a recruiter I have noticed a noticeable discrepancy at times between what jobseekers want and what is actually available in the market. The current shortage of Occupational Therapists and Speech Pathologists in the NDIS space has led to candidates realizing their worth and increasing expectations. Companies, however, tend to offer unrealistic benefits such as high salaries with extensive supervision, which at times they struggle to fulfill due to financial constraints. To address this challenge, it's crucial for companies to avoid overpromising to attract talent. Overpaid and under supported clinicians may feel burnt out, impacting client care and potentially leading them to move away from working in the NDIS. Maintaining transparency and managing expectations is key to fostering a mutually beneficial relationship between employers and employees in the allied health sector. Have thoughts on this? Always keen to have a discussion to discuss what's realistic in today's market. #AlliedHealth #JobSeekers #RecruitmentChallenges #CareerExpectations #NDIS #OccupationalTherapists #SpeechPathologists

Securing a senior carer position, particularly when transitioning from the private sector to the NHS Trust, can be a challenging process. Many applicants face rejections, often receiving emails confirming non-selection or, in some cases, no response at all from NHS Trust. However, perseverance is key. My advice is to keep applying, sending follow-up emails, and making calls to show your interest and commitment. I once heard about someone who submitted over 2,000 applications before finally landing the right role. This highlights the importance of persistence. Every rejection should be seen as one step closer to success. #SeniorCarer   #NHSJobs   #HealthcareCareers   #CareAssistant   #NHSOpportunities   #JobHunt   #NHSRecruitment   #CareSector   #HealthcareSupportWorker   #CareerInCare Obtaining an NVQ Level 3 was supposed to give candidates an advantage when applying for senior carer roles, but even with qualifications, competition can be fierce. That said, it’s crucial to remain motivated, confident, and patient throughout the application process. The key to success is maintaining a positive mindset, knowing that the right opportunity will eventually come if you keep pushing forward. Keep refining your skills, updating your CV, and showcasing your passion for patient care. By staying dedicated, you increase your chances of breaking into the NHS Trust and securing that senior carer position.
