LIFE SUCKAGE AND SOCIAL MEDIA

I really don’t know how some young people or digital natives do it. They are exposed to instant and constant peer group pressure, with this type of social evaluation my guess is a lot of us digital adapters potentially might have had different lives. Fortunately for them, it is a world they have been born into. Sitting alone in a dark room with access to over 1,000 friends, or connections on social media has the potential to be a volatile double edged sword. On one hand, seeing what everyone is doing is interesting and if your life experiences are significant enough to classify and contextualize this fast stream of information, it can be a lot of fun. However, if you haven’t accumulated enough life experiences to understand the hyper fast information delivery, this UX could be very psychologically depressing. Recently, I sat with some digital natives on the evening of a Taylor Swift concert, she was doing a series of shows in our area and the TS show was the place to be. The group I was sitting with all ........click to continue reading https://www.myjobbridge.net/?p=465

How Do I Help My Kid Get A Job?AKA- Please get off the Couch!

How can I help my kid get a job?

I recently asked a 2015 finance and accounting graduate how his job search is going, he replied “ok I guess,” how many jobs have you apply for I asked? He replied, “Enough to keep my Mom off my A**.” I continued, to ask what bothers you about the job market? He replied, “I don’t know, it’s scary, interviewing and being judged by another person and all that.”

Many graduates need help from their parents after graduation and most parents are happy to give it, especially when their kids are working at low wages in their career path to get a foothold. But what about the student like my friend discussed above?

According to Pew Research 1 in 4 students under 26 years of age are going to be living at home after graduation that number will soon be 1 in 3 and the age is increasing to 30. This is a scary fact, especially with over $1.3 TRILLION dollars of debt owed by our students. When graduates are asked what they are going to do after graduation many respond by saying “I don’t know, maybe get a masters.” This of course comes with more debt and is usually a way to kick the can down the road. Obviously, there is nothing wrong with a masters if it will help the student be more productive, but it is often a way to avoid the job market. The real facts are that there is no magic wand to wave when it comes to getting a job, for every job there are probably 50 applicants and to get a job you need to stand out from the field and get noticed, a sweat provoking and heart pounding thought to many graduates.

Companies are missing opportunities for growth and revenue because they don't understand the impact of human nature in the workplace. New technology can be used to reduce workforce, however smart companies are learning that combining new technology with star employees can lead to increased EPS. Decreasing and under-performing stock prices can usually be easily tracked and attributed to poor company culture, disengaged managers, and cost reducing consolidation resulting in the loss of star employees. The key here is the star employee.

Now the good news, according to a recent Gallup poll, the negative trend line can absolutely be reversed by what Gallup is calling the additive effect, but you need to bring back the star employee or the great manager to work the plan. In its report Gallup states “The term additive effect, which comes from biological and chemical research, refers to combining multiple elements so that the results equal the sum of each element's effects. In other words, each element plays a unique role and has an added scientific value in predicting the outcome. Elements that aren't additive don't matter, work against the intended outcome or are redundant, leading to wasted time and resources." While Gallup found that less than 1 percent of companies actually monitor or implement all the variable elements, it was able to put a potential revenue percentage increase next to each additive element. When seeking employment look for the 4 elements, does the company have great managers, talented employees, engaged workforce and focus on strengths? I realize this is a wish, list but but try to research the company on line and see if you can get a feel for company culture. Good hunting.

Interviewing tip- Leave you cell phone in the car. Do not bring the device with you unless you are directed to do so by the company interviewing you. If you are being interviewed and your phone goes off, vibrates, etc, this will indicate that your phone is more important than the interview. Good Luck!
