From a Staffing/Talent Acquisition professional perspective, we get 100s of resumes a day.  For those candidates that don't get calls, many times, they blame the staffing professional rather than themselves.  If they are lucky enough to get a call, if they don't get the job, they blame the process, the market, the hiring people.  This episode is focused on what job seekers need to know about what they can do to change the results.

• Listener response - blaming companies, lack of jobs, and recruiters for people not getting jobs
• Understanding the market today - recap
• The worst thing a candidate can do
• Reasons why people don't get callbacks and don't get selected
• Ways to change things - taking control and getting results.

Season 1 has ended.  As we wait for Season 2 - We revisit some of the hottest episodes from the first season!
 
 Everyone, at some point in their career, has dealt with difficult or bad bosses.  Often times, we have them, but we fear to talk about them or confront them because of possible retaliation.  This episode talks about the characteristics of the 5 worst types of bosses and how to deal with them.

• Micromanager
• Unskilled

• Angry

This will allow you to understand better the boss you are dealing with, but I hope it will enable you to find ways to better your environment.

Season 1 kicked off on January 2, 2020 with the most downloaded episode “Bad Bosses”.   After a very successful first season, it is important to reflect back on the many great episodes that made this season a success. It is also very important to thank everyone that took part in the success of the season.

Please take time over the break to listen to some of the past episodes including replays of the top episodes of the season the next two weeks.

Natasha brings a diverse perspective from small and large organizations on building an inclusive environment including sitting on the local board of her chamber of commerce.  Join us as we talk about how companies can create programs to bring inclusion to their organization.
    
 Breakdown of today’s podcast:

• Companies lack the best practices on truly having inclusive environments
• Empowering the Front-Line Employees
• Employee resource groups
• Giving people the ability to come together with like-minded or dissimilar people to talk about topics
• Establishing communication channels for employees to discuss issues
• What it means to be your most authentic self
• Everything can fall apart if you don't equip people with the tools and education
• What is an employee resource group?
• How do we encourage people to go to groups dissimilar to them?
•  Try to join 3 groups - one that you identify with, one that you are an ally, one you are curious and you want to learn
• How do you get the older generation to embrace and get involved?
• Resource groups need to lead programming that draws people to their group
• When senior leaders are involved in the groups then it draws people to those groups
• Diversity is more than race and gender
• If you don't have people from a community in your organization to lead or start a group then it often times gets forgotten
• Bringing people in from outside to help educate
• How does someone having trouble with their boss given their "cultural background" handle bringing up the issue
• Try having a mentor to help guide you through the process, or even up in the organization in a different department to get guidance.
• Is it appropriate to hand pick people for projects in an effort to diversify a group?
• Make sure as the hiring decision is made you hiring from a diverse plate.  Have a hiring team and interview team that is diverse as to target the most qualified eliminate stereotypes
• What about tokenism of the D&I role, how do we prevent companies simply throwing someone in a D&I role just to say they have the initiatives
• How do applicants tell the difference between a truly diverse organization vs one that is pretending to be one
