With the New Year often comes the desire for a big change in your job, namely, that it’s time to find a new one. Reports are out that a significant number of employers anticipate hiring more people in the first half of 2016 than were brought on board in the last half of 2015. And, with that good news, this might be just the time to brush up on your job search strategies and reinvent your plan.
Job search preparation is not just for the candidates. On the other side of their searches are important openings employers want to fill with the perfect fit. Attracting and having an offer accepted from that ideal candidate takes a lot of careful consideration, planning and hard work. Karen Alphonse’s article, “Good Interview Practices: Employers Perspective,” provides an in-depth look at the process from a variety of angles as it progresses through its beginning, middle and end.
In a world of fast fixes and articles that focus on a “get rich quick” business angle, Stephen Key offers his version of the tell-it-like-it-is breakdown of what it means to be an entrepreneur in his article, “11 Truths About Being an Entrepreneur.” Key, a 30-year entrepreneur, offers insights helpful to all new entrepreneurs.
There is encouraging news for nonprofits. Millennials, (twenty-something to thirty-something year olds) often seek alignment to a cause while defining their career choices. Organizations that are cause-based definitely have the advantage when Millennials shop for jobs.
Asking the difference between the definition of a leader and of a manager may seem redundant. After all, the two roles have overlapping responsibilities and requirements. In an article written by James Kerr, it is noted: “There’s a difference between leadership and management. Leaders look forward and imagine the possibilities that the future may bring in order to set direction. Managers monitor and adjust today’s work, regularly looking backward to ensure that current goals and objectives are being met. The best leaders lead and let their management teams manage the work at hand.”
