Let’s go! Officially an accelerate graduate! I Learned a lot going through this program, much more than I expected. Not only will I be a better recruiter, a better coach and leader, But I’ll be a better friend, husband and father. I spent the last several months doing deep work and self reflection and ensuring that I not only focused on the professional, but the personal. I appreciate Salesforce for providing a platform for employees to invest in themselves. #recruiterinahoodie #salesforce #accelerate #growth #leadership #develoment

Feel free to reach out to me if you were just impacted by the #layoffs at Gopuff. I will connect you with whoever I can if my company doesn't have anything aligned with your expertise. As someone who was impacted before by a layoff and feels very fortunate for my current team and company, Core States Group, I am emphatically saying the best is yet to come!! Also, help each other out. Let this post serve as a way to interact with people looking and companies hiring! #networking #hiring #jobs

Check out this Yahoo! Finance interview with Indeed economist, Cory Stahle. The conversation covers Indeed Hiring Lab’s recent AI report which shows GenAI is more likely to support human workers than replace them. “Most notably, what we found in this research is that there were no skills, as in zero skills, that AI was able to do at an excellent level. At the end of the day, it's very unlikely that a lot of these skills are going to be done by GenAI anytime soon,” Stahle explains. #Indeed #HiringLab #AI

⬇️ Next time you are in the interview, ask yourself - what are the 3 most important points about my pro-life I want to land with the Recruiter/Hiring Manager? How can I communicate it to build a STORY around them? I think many of us great candidates miss the opportunity to engage our listeners just because we don't have a prepared & compelling story that is engaging to listen. STORIES are what we humans highly engage to as we look for CONTEXT and MEANING. Quite the opposite to GenAI.

Yesterday I celebrated my 15th anniversary at Amazon. No idea where the time has gone. Feels like a blink of an eye and a life time at the same time. I love my team, my amazing manager Amy Ruddell, and my job (mainly because of the smart people I work with). That hasn't always been the case, it’s been a ride with ups and down to get here, lost myself in the job at times, but grew more than I ever could imagined. Here’s what I’ve learned to thrive in a high-demanding company:   - Love what you do, or leave it. Life’s too short to do something you hate. - Say yes to opportunities. Do something that makes you uncomfortable. Whether you succeed or not, you’ll always expand your mind and skills. - Find as many role models and mentors as possible, there are many people to learn from. - Focus on what makes the biggest impact to your customer, not what/who makes the most noise. Push back on 'busy work'. Deadlines are most often artificial. Escalations are only truly urgent if lives are impacted. - All employees are human, nobody is above or below you, regardless of their level and position. Tread everyone with respect while staying true to your principles and instincts. - You are the owner of your work-life-harmony. Set healthy boundaries. Ask your leadership to help prioritizing, if needed. - You are the owner of your career path. Ask for what you want and need, nothing will be handed to you if you're not clear where to go and how to get there. - A bad manager can not only block your career path but also impact your mental and physical health. Choose a manager who fosters growth, independence, uniqueness and a healthy work climate. - Life is about connections. Care about people around you. Make time to ask them how they are, truly. Most importantly: Don’t lose yourself in your job. Stay holistically happy. Take care of your physical and mental health, have creative hobbies, foster your social connections. If you’re a happy human, you can be a much better employee, too.
