“The goal is to make changes along the way that benefit the community as a whole: things that are short-term, mid-term, and long-term. So short term, we've done some community events, we're planning our second major event—a Kids Fest that's coming up in September. Since 2020, there's a feeling of ‘we want to do things as a community’ and that feeling was what led to the tree lighting ceremony in December. We've hired a code enforcement officer, not nearly as exciting to talk about but absolutely necessary. We instituted some things internally that I felt would be more fair to the residents, like providing reminders for water bills, for instance. Mid-term improvements would be looking at staffing, and we've done tremendously well with hiring public safety officers. Staffing public safety is a challenge that every municipality across the country is trying to fix, but our full staff is eight and we now have seven. It wasn't at that number when I first hired and I'm very proud to say we're almost full because of how important that department is and how supportive the community is of our public safety. Long-term, we are working on economic development. When I grew up, I would ride my bike down the street, I would go to a local shop there, buy baseball cards. A developer drove through and said, ‘Wow, this feels like a Hallmark community, everybody's walking, everybody's waving at you.’ People want to be part of that, so we’re working with Bay Future. They’ve got a good, strategic process over there and we’ve got a follow-up meeting soon to talk about how to recruit more businesses here. Those are long-term changes and not overnight, but we'll get there. If folks want to contact me, I'm very available. You can call 989-893-2441, email me at [email protected], or stop by City Hall. I'm not hard to find– just look for the bald guy wearing a Michigan "M'' somewhere. —Craig Goulet, Essexville City Manager #heybaycity #baycity #baycitymichigan #michiganjob #michigancareers #baycounty #baycountymichigan #youngprofessional #intern

Deputy Executive Director, Louisville Metro Housing Authority | Semi-Professional Goat Whisperer
Did you know that 94% of all people working at housing authorities ended up working at a housing authority completely on accident? They were just looking for a job and the housing authority was #hiring. Did you know I made that stat up? But honestly I'm 96% certain it's accurate. I have literally only met 1 person in our entire industry who actually wanted to work on this business when they were a kid. But here's the crazy thing about that fact. The jobs that exist at housing authorities are actually really freaking good jobs. The benefits are usually great, the pay isn't wall street good, but you'll be able to super size your McDonald's meal. And here's my favorite part about it... You get paid to help people. The work you do everyday actually helps people. And there's a job in every imaginable discipline... accounting, development, IT, real estate management, communications, all of it. I guess what I'm getting at is this, if your jump shot isn't gonna get you a contract with the Lakers, and your singing voice won't put you on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine, or you have a face that truly belongs on radio, maybe you should come work at your local housing authority. Just saying. Oh the Louisville Metro Housing Authority is hiring. Just throwing that out there. #affordablehousing #hiring #jobopening #lihtc

In a recent department meeting, one of our Sparks Bristol team enthusiastically said, “look at what we’ve done in six months, imagine what we will do in the next 12”. And that got me thinking. Sparks 2.0 let’s call it. Beginning Jan 2024, we’ve got some immediate updates coming. And our goal is simple, to do more. Do more learning. Do more educating. And above all, do more good. Sometimes, though, we need to be honest about where our weaknesses lie, and one of those weaknesses is our lack of experience within the design and structure of a retail environment. So, I ask of my network, can you help? We’re looking at you, large retail companies. Can you provide one of your team for an hour/a day? Can you help your local community grow and prosper. After all, those local communities put you where you are now. John Lewis & Partners , Marks and Spencer , Mary Portas and all of my lovely network, help us find some help!

98125 Seattle, WA The first zip code welcoming me to the Emerald City. In my early years here, I immersed myself in Seattle's diverse neighborhoods—not just visiting but truly living in them: Lake City, Queen Anne, Alki Beach, Ballard, Fremont, and Magnolia. Despite the trials of moving furniture up and down stairwells and navigating moving trucks, I was determined to forge a deep connection with this city. Understanding the pulse of Seattle became paramount for me, especially in my role assisting local professionals as they navigate career decisions crucial to their and their families' futures. I made it my mission to empathize with their concerns about commute times, parking woes, neighborhoods, childcare options, pet-friendly spaces, school districts, and local markets. I recognize how these factors shape one's readiness for new opportunities. Setting #thejulegroup apart is our expertise in the Greater Seattle market. We're deeply rooted here, comprehending the unique hiring challenges companies face in this area.

I spent the last day of my 20s, onboarding at the City of Beaverton, learning to be an elected official. When I won, I was the youngest ever in our city’s history. On the last day of my 30s, I’m reflecting on the lessons I've learned during this decade as an elected official. Top 10 Lessons I Have Learned as an Elected Official: One for Every Year of My 30s: 1. Make a friend before you need a friend. This whole job is based on relationships. Don’t let your first call to someone be an ask. 2. Lift as you rise. Use your connections to uplift others. Running for office and being an elected official can be lonely. 3.Kindness is the currency of the realm. When all else fails, leading with kindness often gets you one step closer to solving a problem. 4. It truly takes all levels of government working together to accomplish big things. 5. There is no shortcut to relationship building. See number 1. 6. Be prepared to make hard decisions. It's evident when elected officials don’t do their homework. 7. No votes should be rare. If you must vote "no," make sure you have done everything possible to bring people to your side. 8. Compromise is not a dirty word. Voters sent you to office to make things happen; nothing will go 100% your way. 9.This is a job of service. Ensure you’re in the role that brings you the most joy and allows you to impact the things that matter most to you. Because when it gets hard, and it will, the job will fuel you. 10.Know the rules and get the votes. You won’t be effective if you never accomplish things.
