In todays market, work is work… Of course work is always work… but what I mean specifically, is that any work, is good work… The #talentacquisition market has struggled for a long time now and there are still a huge number of recruiting professionals looking for work… That work will come… and the market will inevitably recover… In the meantime… if you are working as a delivery driver, night watchman or as a labourer… there is no shame in that! Work has changed hugely in the last 40 years… Status, money and pride make decisions for people now more than ever… and that’s not a good thing… So if you are working outside of your profession to keep the lights on and food on the table of your family… you should take pride in that… There is nothing wrong with doing what you have to do in difficult times… and for those who are going through such a period right now… I tip my cap to you! Have a great day! #talent #recruiting #recruitment #jobseekers #jobseeking

Today marks 2 weeks since I was impacted by the RIF at Checkr. I have noticed a few things that can be very frustrating for job seekers. The lack of pay and benefits information is a commonly mentioned frustration. Job seekers don't want to waste your time anymore than our own. Imagine seeing what appears to be a perfect fit skills and career wise only to find out it pays less than you can accept plus the cost of benefits is twice what you anticipated. Tied in level of frustration is attempting to make jobs something they are not. I saw a job posting for an "Appearance Technician", "technician" is a key word I have been looking for but it was a truck detailer. The job entailed washing and shampooing carpets in rental box trucks. Not every position is a technician, specialist, or analyst. That's perfectly fine, trucks need detailing and the person who is looking for that job likely missed the posting due to the job title. Office job titles can be clerks or associates and again that is acceptable. Lastly, failing to realize experience can be as useful, if not more so, as a degree. If you aren't specifying a job related degree and accept any degree, why isn't relevant experience acceptable? Is someone with a history degree going to be a better fit for customer service manager than the high school graduate with multiple years in the field and supervisory experience?

In a competitive job market, standing out as a driver is key to securing the best opportunities. Here are some tips to make sure your application shines: 1. Highlight Your Safety Record Employers want drivers who prioritise safety. Include your clean driving record and any safety awards or training in your CV and interviews. 2. Showcase Relevant Certifications Do you have any special licences or certifications?

Emphasise Reliability and Punctuality Timeliness is crucial for any driving job. Mention past experiences where you consistently met deadlines, showing employers they can count on you. 4. Demonstrate Strong Customer Service Skills If you've interacted with customers in previous roles, highlight it! Employers value drivers who can not only drive safely but also communicate professionally with clients. 5. Tailor Your Application Make sure each application is tailored to the specific job. Mention the company name, reference their requirements, and explain how your skills meet their needs. #JobTips #DriverJobs #StandOut #DriverCareer #CareerAdvice

#NewJob #WalkingToWork #EmployeeSafety #PublicTransport Hey everyone! 😊 I could really use some advice about my new job situation. A bit of background: I'm a 25-year-old woman who just got hired at a company that’s around 20 minutes away from my house. Since I don’t drive, I specifically picked this job because I thought it would be easy to walk there. I’ve handled longer walks for work before, so I was pretty comfortable with that! However, during my induction, my manager and I were chatting about parking, and I casually mentioned that I walk instead of driving. To my surprise, they said I **can’t walk home at night** because it’s deemed unsafe. At first, I thought they were just kidding, but nope, they were serious! The company apparently takes employee safety very seriously and forbid walking home in the dark. This has me a bit worried because I'll be working a lot of night shifts (starting at 10 PM and wrapping up around 4 AM). My manager did say they’d provide a taxi for me t...

Don’t be ashamed of your jobs. Any job at all. I have personally known many successful people who started their careers as a: - tourist guide - office cleaner - pet taxi driver - personal shopper - hotel housekeeper - call centre operator - food delivery driver - computer technician - data entry personnel - plastic factory operator - mobile phone technician - t-shirt and calendar seller - customer service representative Some people will make fun of you. Look down on you. Or ignore you. So what? If it doesn’t work out, don’t see it as a failure. Look at them as your learning opportunities. They make you better, stronger and wiser. You can be sure they are part of your ingredients for future success. Remember… Never be ashamed.
