Jess Get Hired

Do you manage a business?  Do you manage people?  Are you hiring?  If you are posting jobs and not getting traction with filling your jobs, the answer could be right in front of you!  Your existing employees are looking for mobility and if you don't have a retention strategy, your employees will be looking for other jobs.  

If you have a team that has been running for weeks without a manager because you are trying to hire one, the problem might not be a hiring problem, it could be a retention problem!  You need to be promoting your existing workforce and tapping into their potential.

In this episode of Jess Get Hired, you will meet Michael Yinger.  Michael is a forward-thinking executive with over 20 years of managing global organizations and providing strategic guidance to C-Level professionals.  He is also one of the Co-Founders of ResumeSieve.com, an advanced AI-powered candidate evaluation platform that minimizes the time to find top candidates by ranking them based on the requirements you provide.

Hiring internal talent makes better sense.  It will boost employee morale, cuts down on training, recruiting, and onboarding.  Have you taken a look at your current company culture?  What are your employees saying behind closed doors?

Have you all ever worked in an organization where the leaders didn’t match the culture? A place where you loved your job, but your manager totally sucked at doing the one job they were supposed to do, which was lead and manage a team?  

Special Guest for this episode is Eric Harkins, a motivational speaker, a consultant, and author of the book, Great Leaders make sure Monday Morning Doesn’t Suck.  We are going to have a blunt discussion with some adult language about leadership and the workplace.

If you don’t mind a few F-bombs and raw talk, then keep listening.

In this episode, you’ll get to hear Eric talk about how he helps organizations Get Talent, Keep Talent, and Grow Talent – which is the premise of his business GKG Search and Consulting. He spent 25 years in corporate America in leadership roles from manager to Chief HR Officer and Chief Administrative Officer before he decided to start his own consulting firm based in Minneapolis.  

Eric's book, Great Leaders Make Sure Monday Morning Doesn't Suck, is published by Forbes Books.  You can buy it on Amazon, Kindle, and online.

Since the pandemic last year, employers have been focused on employee health and well-being. Millions of people were laid off, leaving them with financial and professional insecurity. Working from home has added to challenges, as parents have had to learn how to work and teach their kids at the same time. Several people are finding it hard to separate work and personal life, which is creating tension and, ultimately, workplace burnout.

Anne Genduso, a certified executive career coach, discusses her burnout story, how she overcame it, the signs to look for, and how to manage through the slump.

Job Burnout Symptoms can include:

Causes for burnout:

Risk Factors:

Job burnout is not a mental illness, it is a mental health issue.  Since COVID, this has become a bigger issue.  There is a lack of employees to help with the workload, and many increasing their duties to cover for the gap is taking its toll.  

Anne and I will discuss several ways to keep your mind open and consider options.  Burnout has physical and mental implications.  Time to recognize the signs.

LinkedIn is the world's largest professional network.  Last year, I published Episode 3 titled "Your LinkedIn Profile Sucks," in which I discussed what makes a bad profile and offered advice on how to improve your online presence. Episode 12 expands on some of the previous tips by reminding listeners of some of the key components of your LinkedIn profile as well as new tips to help you build your brand. 

Employers, recruiters, and other business professionals are looking to network, but they may be passing over your profile because it lacks attention-grabbing content that entices them to connect with you. I'll include quotes from polls I created based on various comments from my LinkedIn community.  So, listen closely because your comment could be featured! 

I will discuss:  

Most importantly, implementing some, if not all, of these suggestions, will assist you in making the most of this platform. You will begin to develop authentic connections to what I call "the greatest online networking party" by posting content, engaging in other people's posts, interacting with key leaders in your targeted industry, joining groups, and more.   Between episode 3 and this recent episode, let me know your thoughts on the tips I shared.
