How is Job searching different?
Monday, 22 November 2021
Today as we are hopefully coming to the end of the Covid pandemic, job searching is different as job seekers now have the choice of employers. However, this is a major responsibility on you as a job seeker as you need to know your values, your strengths, and how your skills can meet the challenges of the employer.
My recommendation for job seekers is to understand your motivation for changing jobs, what are your career goals, how you can contribute to the success of your next employer, what is your level of engagement with the new employer, and how you define your work-life balance.

Education for Employment
Thursday, 05 December 2019
At this time of the year and early in next year parents are trying to help their children find a college to attend. However, there is a missing piece of information identifying programs at college or university levels to choose a program that will lead to successful employment. Part of this decision is to help high school graduates find a program that meets their individual interests, personality and work preferences as too often young people choose a program to please their parents which results in quitting the program or at the end of the program to decide they do not want to work in this field or maybe there is no employment opportunities in that area which means they may end up working in a survival job and living with you longer. This can be solved if the high student plans for realistic goals for graduation by working with a Career Development Professional Coach.

Flexibility often refers to having the option of working at home, being mobile, or remote, working different scheduled hours etc. I have heard many employers be concerned about offering flexibility for the fear of lack of work to be completed.
