In this episode of #MotivatingMondays, we discuss whether job seekers should modify their personality to be successful at job search or in the workplace. For many, adapting is already part of the job. More than two-thirds of job seekers (68%) have changed aspects of their personality to fit workplace culture, while 59% say their personality at work is very different from who they are in everyday life.

In this episode of #MotivatingMondays, we discuss the importance of applying to employers as soon as a job is posted. Not only does it demonstrate a great work ethic but often employers make their choice based in early applicants. According to an analysis of 11 million interactions on the freelancer platform Fiverr, those who took more than 10 minutes to respond to a work request were 30% less likely to get hired. In today’s brutal job-hunting landscape, speed is beating out skill.

In this episode of #MotivatingMondays, we discuss Canada's development of Workforce Alliances. Last week, the Government of Canada revealed the Transportation and Supply Chain Workforce Alliance. It follows the Mining and Minerals Workforce Alliance and the Advanced Manufacturing Workforce Alliance, which were both launched recently. Ottawa says the broader strategy is intended to give workers more opportunities while helping employers recruit the skilled employees they need.

In this episode of #MotivatingMondays, we examine the SMEAC approach to supporting clients in achieving employment goals. SMEAC is a framework used in the Canadian Army to solve problems. It breaks down an employment action plan into: Mission; Execution; Administration & Logistics; and Command & Signal. This approach can help clients develop a more targeted approach to job search.

In this episode of #MotivatingMondays, we discuss the legal considerations employers should be thinking about when using AI. In job development we're seeing greater and greater use of AI in recruitment, candidate evaluation, onboarding and in many workplace activities. This creates a great number of unstated expectations and legal landmines.

In this episode of #MotivatingMondays, we discuss the whirlwind of job development which consists of emails, phone calls, meetings, and putting out fires. While not necessarily bad, it consumes 100% of time and energy, making it hard to execute new or strategic goals. While it may seem impossible to adopt new best practices, we don't need to radically change what we're doing. We just need to nudge it in the right direction. The goal is to incorporate small change that can help further change as time goes by.

In this episode of #MotivatingMondays, we take a closer look at the challenges faced in the labour market by those with cognitive differences as well as those with mental health challenges. Research from the Labour Market Information Council reveals that over 90% of Canadian job postings require social-emotional skills that can unintentionally screen out neurodivergent candidates. Over 40% also contain complex application processes or confusing jargon.

Only 46% of adults with mental health-related disabilities are employed, compared to 80% of those without any sort of disability.

In this episode of #MotivatingMondays, we take a closer look at career laddering for the client or student who wants the quickest return to the job market possible. Entry-level jobs are it risk from AI and other forms of automation but career laddering provides a pathway to better, more secure employment. Even for something like construction, a person might start off as a labourer; then complete a pre-apprenticeship program in carpentry; and eventually a Red Seal ticket as a carpenter. I think we can all agree that a carpenter has a much stronger labour market attachment than a construction labourer.
