Maximize Monday

We also discussed his branding efforts, how he utilizes content creation to support his recruiting needs, the importance of networking, and how he relies on his communication to create a rewarding client and candidate experience.

We discussed the importance of networking, not setting limitations on your timeline to find a new position, how to post and explore opportunities without shedding a negative light on teaching/education.

On this episode, long-time friend Chad joins me to discuss his career - how he got started in systems engineering and marketing, but eventually moved into real estate and property management and has been finding continued success along the way.

We discuss his background in engineering, what initially got him interested in property management, how that grew into starting several small businesses in the industry, the importance of branding and marketing in finding success, and how he goes about creating a network that gives back to others looking to find their own path.

We also discuss the importance of communication, the questions she asks job-seekers when having initial consultations, and the advice she would give to aspiring recruiters, as well as those in a prolonged job search.

Been a while since there has been an episode of Maximize Monday ready to drop, but we are back (and have some amazing guests on the horizon as well).

I connected with Willa many weeks ago as she's looking to transition into a new career and we set up a coffee chat to discuss my move into a new industry - during this chat, it was clear to me that Willa is someone who likes to give support and insight as much as she can.

Since that call, I find myself constantly hitting the like and share button whenever she has a post, as there is so much insight about the interview/hiring process, the importance of networking, and other information to help others in their search.

We discuss her process when doing initial consultations with potential candidates, how she utilizes communication to strengthen the experience, her goals in finding the right opportunities for the candidates, and how she founded her own company to ensure that she was able to take ownership of the process.

We discuss all of the things she loves about her current role, how she's pulled from past experiences to progress her career, how much of an impact social media made on her growth, and much more.

We break down some of the different ways we can increase our communicative outputs to enhance employee engagement, some different tools that can be utilized to assist with having a structure, and the importance of maintaining consistent touchpoints.

We look through how she stays on top of touchpoints with her candidate during the hiring process, how she handles communication with the hiring managers, what are some tools she has found useful to keep track of the projects she's managing, and when/how to give candidates feedback during the process.

We also touched on the importance of networking - how Erin built connections and had conversations with others to get a feel for where she wanted to take her career next, and how she is doing the same for others now who are on their own search.
