Special Guest - Justin Nguyen

In a previous episode, High School and Colleges FAIL Students - EXPOSED, we spoke about the failure of schools to help prepare students with entry into the workforce.  However, students are also responsible for building the foundations to be prepared for life after college.  We have partnered with Justin Nguyen, who has started a movement called GetChoGrindUp providing ways to prepare and engage students on life 

Podcast Overview

• How GetChoGrindUp came about, intro to Justin Nguyen
• Future of Expos vs Job Fairs
• Failures of colleges - what they are doing wrong and not doing enough
• Miscommunication between Students, Companies, and Colleges expectations and purpose
• Career Services funding shortage leads to lack of training and expertise in the field - not connecting with college students
• Point systems do not necessarily work
• Colleges do a poor job with educating students on what to do with their lives
• Degrees - What are they worth and what degrees go to what jobs
• Suggestions on how colleges can change their approach
• Internships and Jobs during school can also educate students on a path - 4 Internships in 4 Semesters
• What else can students utilize to prepare for getting out of college.
• Linkedin  - how can students utilize this more and differently

 Please note: I am not a medical professional and am not speaking for the CDC or any medical associations.  I bring to the table 20 years of staffing and recruiting industry experience specifically focused in global supply chain and manufacturing.  I also have worked through the SARS outbreak.  I have also talked to several economics professors, economists, and reviewed major articles with Bloomberg, Fortune, Harvard Business Review, and Forbes. This is an informational podcast to help people understand the impact.
  
  Breakdown of today’s podcast:

• There is NO shortage - they are just out of stock. Stop panic buying.
• Stop buying water, toilet paper, paper towels! Why toilet paper? If you get Coronavirus you will not gastrointestinal problems but more respiratory problems
• What you can do to prepare - realistically
• Preparation for school closings, closing of retailers (Apple), and working virtually
• Financial impacts go beyond airlines, cruise ships, theaters.  There is a trickle down effect to all the restaurants at the airports, food suppliers that supply food, taxis/ride sharing 
• Many people live day to day, paycheck to paycheck 
• Companies are starting to step up to help mitigate their people, but is the mitigation far enough reach to all levels impacted
• Business Owners and Suppliers need to be flexible
• Utilities need to allow people time to get caught up expanded time to pay bills
• House Bill injecting capital to individuals (pending Senate approval)
• How can you help other people - People helping People
• Breakthrough the culture issues which have arisen over the last two years to support everyone
• Growing trend of discrimination on Asian and Italian immigrants
• Internet - Telecommunications Resources and will it support the extreme increase in virtually worlds but how big of impact will it have
• Drugs - switch to 90 day supply. Mail order pharmacies are available
• Factories are revamping - ramping up production but suppliers are still only operating at 50% capacity
• Lead times are increasing - 57% worse than late 2019
• Can local pharmacies fill 90 day supplies?
• Adjust to the new normalcy, social distancing, minimizing the exposure. There is a reason people in Japan bow when greeting each other than shake hands

STOP DISCRIMINATION - We need to band together and be there for each other. This Virus doesn't discriminate based on age, race, sexual orientation, disabilities, etc.  It affects everyone.  Be conscious on how you interact with people and help those that need information to do the right thing.

Please note: I am not a medical professional and am not speaking for the CDC or any medical associations.  I bring to the table 20 years of staffing and recruiting industry experience specifically focused in global supply chain and manufacturing.  I also have worked through the SARS outbreak.  I have also talked to several economics professors, economists, and reviewed major articles with Bloomberg, Fortune, Harvard Business Review, and Forbes. This is an informational podcast to help people understand the impact.

• How has the China impact on the Global Supply Chain changed over the last two decades when the SARS outbreak happened
• What happens with the Supply Chain in events like this?
• Cost of Goods Sold goes up, Prices go up to consumers
• Supply goes down, Demand goes up because lack of availability it will cause inflation of prices. 
• How long is the supply chain effect after the virus is gone.
• Employers - being prepared and being transparent
• Be proactive in communication but less is more.  Do not play doctor and medical professionals in speaking on the virus.
• Reinforce Sick Leave Policies but create an expectation so employees will not be punished if they need to stay home. 
• Decrease of unnecessary travel
• Consult with HR and Legal before asking employees to perform medical exams or quarantining employees due to symptoms
• Be careful on what you ask of your employees as there is a fine line between legal action and illegal discrimination
• Recruitment will slow down due to quarantines, travel restrictions and work arrangements
• Virtual interviewing will become more common
• Positions may be effected based on the slow down of operations or ability to complete the interview process.

·       Posts where the employer is directly connected to the person posting
·       Gray areas around how the post effects the employer
·       Posts where there is no connection to an employer
