Most of us are pretty good at our jobs, according to Steve Herz, president of The Montag Group, a sports and entertainment talent and marketing consultancy. The problem, however, is that we probably don't hear about the ways in which we're not so good. "The world will pepper you with these false yeses, and you'll get stuck in this vortex ...
Article by Simon T. Bailey If you look up definitions of the word "fortitude," you'll find entries like "courage through adversity" or "resolute endurance." While I think those definitions are accurate, I don't believe they fully encapsulate what the term truly means. Fortitude, as I define it, is the strength of mind that enables a person to experience adversity with courage. The Latin root of the word is fortis, meaning "strong." Etymologically, fortitude is linked to the ...
It's the question of the century: Is it better to partner with an agency or rely on an in-house recruitment function? Having played in both worlds, I wanted to share my perspective. I got into the recruitment industry back when it was considered an arm of consulting and in-house recruitment didn't really exist. We partnered with business leaders, assisted them with the ups and downs of staffing, and became extensions of their brands in the market. I'll never forget one of ...
From working as an EMT to driving an 18-wheeler to teaching a kindergarten class, some jobs simply cannot be done without the right certifications. Other careers don't have core certifications, but they do have a lot of supplemental learning opportunities designed to make you a more qualified professional. While these credentials may not be required by employers, many job seekers use them to bulk up their resumes. In theory, a professional certificate program could teach you valuable skills to help you ...
Jobs without people. People without jobs. There's a mismatch between the skills people have and the skills companies need. Back in February of this year, ManpowerGroup reported US talent shortages were at a 10-year high, with more than two-thirds of employers struggling to fill positions. That situation is unlikely to have eased during the pandemic. Meanwhile, from the employee's perspective, traditional paths to acquiring professional skills are ...
What do you do when you're on a Zoom meeting and someone's child suddenly pops up on the screen? It's bound to happen in this new reality, where parents are forced to run day cares and remote classrooms while keeping up with professional duties. And these aren't the only employees with caregiving responsibilities; many are also caring for parents or spouses. This new normal is something we need to plan for if we're going to
For students and recent graduates, the summer season has long been a time for gaining work experience between semesters or bridging the gap between completing a degree and securing that first job. Similarly, the fall semester is often a time for students to gain valuable work experience in addition to their studies. This year, however, lockdowns and the deployment of a remote workforce in response to the coronavirus pandemic led to hiring freezes and the cancellation or virtualization of
"I'm currently trying to hold plank during a conference call so I can 'work out' today." "I'm going to be a few minutes late joining our meeting. I have to finish the lesson on the five senses with my kindergartner." "I just yelled REPEATEDLY 'Just carry the one! Just carry the one!' to my daughter while I was teaching math. And clearly 'teaching' is a stretch. Do you think this will cause long-term damage?" Sound familiar? According to a recent
