  • Workforce Development And Training in Central Ohio
    In this episode, we talk with Jeff Spain,Workforce Solutions Senior Consultant at Columbus State Community College's Workforce Innovations.
    During our previous podcasts, we have often discussed the importance of job seekers “learning something new”. In today’s economy, there is continuous change – tasks change, responsibilities change, equipment changes – we have to be willing to, able to and embrace change!
    And with those changes come new ideas/skills/experiences that may require a worker to learn. So when our mature job seekers are in their job search, we also talk to them about learning which can be in many different forms – not just a classroom.
    Jeff covers how important continuing education is in your continued career path. Columbus State Community College addresses three different workforce students:
    Emerging Workforce - students
    Incumbent Workforce - currently employed, and whose skills need to grow
    Transitional Workforce - mature workers in declining industries or who are changing careers
    Jeff also speaks about what "workforce innovations" means now, and the various ways CSCC works with the Transitional Workforce.

  • Salary Research And Negotiations
    No one wants to talk about money.  Our clients are always asking what salary negotiations mean, and how they can determine salary level for a specific job, and where is all this "research" located.
    We welcome back Marilyn Bury Rice, Director of the Lhota Office of Career Management at The Ohio State University's Alumni Association.  In this episode we cover:
    What should a job candidate do if they are happy with the offer given them, and why should they negotiate that offer?
    Is there concern if a job candidate tries to negotiate, the employer might rescind the offer?
    When is the proper time to discuss salary and negotiate a salary offer?
    How does a job candidate handle the "salary question" early on?
    Where can a job candidate research salary information?
    What does "your market value" mean?
    Does a job candidate share their last salary? What to do if asked.
    When is the proper time to negotiate things like flexibility, working from home, additional vacation time?
