  • Episode 30: The 4 Great R's - Resignation, Reshuffle, Restructure & Regret

    Since the pandemic, the workforce has seen some highs and lows. The Great Resignation, The Great Reshuffle, The Great Restructure, and The Great Regret are all terms used to describe the workplace's three-year roller coaster ride. The last few years have been a whirlwind of emotions for employees and businesses, and we are seeing a large number of people emerge from the pandemic even more confused about the state of the economy. Episode 30, host Jessica Fiesta George discusses each of the stages of these pandemic-led phenomenons. 

    • The "Great Resignation" was the unusually large number of employees who voluntarily left their jobs to pursue other opportunities. People were leaving jobs in search of better working conditions and remote work opportunities. 
    • The "Great Reshuffle" took place when employees decided to move from job to job in search of the best combination of opportunity and pay. Companies were transferring employees from one job to another in the hopes of retaining them, and they were offering higher wages and better benefits in exchange. 
    • The "Great Restructure" went hand in hand with the "Great Reshuffle" because organizations were forced to find ways to retain and attract employees. Employers were doing everything they could to stay ahead of their competition, throwing resources and money to ensure they were top of mind for many jobseekers, including increasing base pay, offering sign-on bonuses, accommodating hybrid work options, 4-day work weeks, and more. 
    • The "Great Regret" both employees and businesses are discovering that the grass isn't always greener on the other side. Employees were drawn to all of the perks only to discover that it wasn't all that it seemed, and they are desperate to return to their previous jobs. Employers spent a lot of money on things they thought would help them attract talent, but they didn't consider the financial impact of increasing pay/benefits, and they're now regretting it. 

      • As a result, many businesses are facing financial difficulties and are laying off employees or slowing hiring. Learn more about Jess Get Hired:  https://linktr.ee/jessgethired

    • Episode 26: Evolution of Hiring

      I'm celebrating my birthday this month, and I'd love for you to join me as I reflect on how much the hiring world has changed.  Throughout my career, I've witnessed how human resources has changed, evolved, and created new opportunities to focus on various aspects of the employee and candidate experience.

      In this episode, I explore how much has changed in my career from the "personnel department," "staffing department," "recruitment department," and "talent acquisition department." All of these terms have one thing in common: they all aim to hire and fill a position. Otherwise, each role has some additional complexities, and I'll only scratch the surface of each of these roles in this episode.

      Recruiting vs. Talent Acquisition.  How different are they?  I will talk about the shift from recruiting to talent acquisition and how to understand what makes each role unique.

    • Episode 25: Eggrolls and Eyerolls - My AAPI life
      Episode 25 of the Jess Get Hired Podcast is entitled,  Eggrolls and Eyerolls.  In honor of Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month #AAPI, I made it in time to share my lighthearted take on what it's like to be an Asian in Corporate America. To be more specific, Filipino. I briefly discuss why Asian women are precluded from leadership positions at America's Top Companies, as well as the boardroom's lack of diversity. I'll also share a few of my "eye-roll" moments. I share my stories and experiences, as well as address the most common misconceptions that most people have:
      "Where are you from?"
      "You aren't Asian enough...."
      "Asians never seem to age,......you look like you're 12."
      "Asians become doctors or nurses..."
      "You know Karate, right?"
      ...and more....  This is a good-natured conversation that I hope entertains you while also shedding light on our differences and allowing us to laugh about it..

    • Episode 24: Opportunity Overhaul! featuring Matt Warzel
      Jess Get Hired Podcast - Episode 24 - Opportunity Overhaul with Career Coach, Matthew Warzel
      Opportunity is out there.  What are you doing to go after it?  
      Join me in a conversation with Matt Warzel, a certified resume writing expert and career coach.  We talk about bouncing back after being laid off and the different struggles many job seekers are facing today.  He shares a few tips to stand out from the crowd so you can take advantage of the different opportunities ahead of you.
      Finding opportunities isn’t about submitting resumes you find on a job board and waiting for recruiters or companies to contact you. A part of finding your next opportunity is about putting in some work.  That includes:
      Networking with a purpose – start with the people you already know and then get out of your comfort zone and find people in the industry or occupation you are looking to get into. 
      Join professional organizations. These are groups that can give you the inside track.
      Job Boards are not the end-all and be-all solution, but use it as a starting point.  Find recruiters to partner with who can help you. Get a career coach to help you take a strategic approach and keep you motivated for your next career opportunity!
      Find a Recruiter that will be your new bestie - They will advocate for you if they know who you are and your capabilities!
      It takes a lot of time and patience and depending on the position you’re chasing, the experience you bring to the table, finding the right opportunity will take time, so you will need patience and resilience.
      About Matt:

What sets Matt apart is that he doesn’t only teach interview tips and strategies that help people stand out, but also partners with people throughout the interview process.

    • Episode 22: Level Up Your Recruiting (and Search) Game! with Darrian Mikell, Qualifi.hr
      Recruiters, what if technology could cut down your candidate screening time?  
      Jobseekers, what if you could do an interview when it was convenient for you?
      This episode will focus on leveling up your recruiting game so you can hire great candidates faster than ever before, and give job seekers a glimpse into the screening process and how to be better prepared.  Meet Darrian Mikell, Co-Founder, and CEO of Qualifi.hr, a SaaS platform that powers the fastest phone interview experience in the world! 
      Many organizations are feeling the effect of a lack of resources to screen candidate resumes and job applications in order to fill open positions. Qualifi is assisting in resolving the time-consuming task of conducting phone interviews. Since the pandemic, job seekers have felt increased pressure to conduct more video interviews and video conferencing, which is not always convenient when they are on the go.  By using a phone-only interview platform, it removes bias, increases productivity, and helps the overall candidate experience.
      Darrian shares his story about why he created this platform and we discuss how jobseekers can prepare for interviews.
