CALLING RECRUITERS / POC IN THE WORKFORCE! I have no idea what to choose! I am Hispanic, Black and White. Therefore, the "Two or More Races (Not Hispanic or Latino)" option does not work for me even though it is closest. I do not want to feel like I am forgoing a part of my heritage as I apply for jobs, but it is often the case that I am only allowed one option. One of my big goals in the workplace are to promote diversity and make sure that all voices are heard, from the beginning of the job application process until retirement. My goal is to foster inclusive settings where people from all backgrounds feel appreciated and thrilled to share their distinct viewpoints. I want to make a lasting difference by establishing environments that provide members of underrepresented communities an equal chance to prosper. We all are a part of making the world better, so let's do it. So, before this recruiting issue is solved, I want to hear your answer: What should I choose? Would it look good, as a candidate, to send an email explaining my identity? Let me know!

Arapahoe/Douglas Works! Workforce Center, in collaboration with the City of Englewood Colorado, Empower Inclusion In recognition of Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, Arapahoe/Douglas Works! Workforce Center, in collaboration with the City of Englewood, hosted an Inclusive Career Mixer. The event was held at the Centennial Workforce Center on March 28, 2024. The primary focus of the event was to help job seekers facing various barriers to employment. These barriers included those experiencing disabilities, New Americans, the unhoused, and justice-involved individuals.    Several employers participated in the Mixer, demonstrating their commitment to inclusive hiring practices. Additionally, three resource tables were available, to offer support and information. The turnout for the event marked a 100% increase in attendance compared to the 2023 Mixers, highlighting the growing impact on the community. Employers collected resumes from qualified applicants. We look forward to learning the final number of individuals who will secure employment. The Inclusive Career Mixer highlights the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion and offers a chance for everyone who wants to work to find jobs. #Inclusive #Careers #JobFair #DisabilityInclusion #SecondChance #DEI

To the seniors graduating this year, Congrats on an amazing achievement with your degree! I am sure there are millions of tips with your next journey, but here are some tips that I wish I knew when I was graduating: 1) Be resilient. You will face rejection in the application, interviewing, promotion, and other processes in your career. Make sure to remain positive and focused on the goal.   2) Network everywhere you go with everyone. That person may not help now, but years from now they will be able to put in a good word for you. Even the front desk/admin professional have a say with hiring. 3) Get uncomfortable. Sometimes the thing you want requires you get out of your bubble and comfort level. Change is always going to be uncomfortable at first. 4) Appreciate the journey. Reflect on how much you have done so far and understand that process to go from point A to point B might not be a straight line. A career isn't always a straight line. Always consider opportunities as building blocks to your next big thing. If you are looking for a position or looking to hire someone, feel free to comment so that hiring managers from my company along with other companies know who you are. Also, go to our career site and see what roles fits you.

#funfridayfact: Let's pretend you are a worker wasp in July. You live in a lovely nest and have a great job protecting your queen from anyone trying to invade. Nectar, fruit, and insects are plentiful. Life is good. Then, one day in August/September, after your queen lays its eggs, she leaves without saying goodbye to hibernate. You and all the workers around you are suddenly laid off. The nest is completely abandoned. Food becomes scarce. You now have no home, no job, and no consistent source of food. You start roaming around anxiously, diving into dumpsters and eating rotted, fermented fruit that causes you to get drunk and angry (yes, this is real). You find random groups of humans eating food outside and start aggressively attacking, desperate for nutrients, and stinging them if they get in your way. Your brain is only set up to "protect the nest," and now that the world is your nest...everyone is an enemy. This is exactly why wasps are so mean and aggressive this time of year. #openmotivepositions: We are actively hiring SDRs in Austin and Nashville. Open to recent college graduates.

Ageism is a REAL thing. Being an older job seeker (or worker) often means you are undervalued for a lifetime of skills and experience. It is difficult to get a younger generation of hiring managers to understand that you are capable, have good skills, and are not a threat. A few gray hairs should NOT be the signal to be unfairly terminated or discriminated against when applying for jobs - especially when you have a lot to offer in the way of knowledge and experience and you want (and need) to work. Fight Ageism wherever you can. https://lnkd.in/g8T8x7Vf

One year ago today! Perfect for a #flashbackfriday (those are still “in” right? 🤪) Who better to recruit in the industry than a team that takes time to understand the industry? Or a team that has WORKED in the industry? Full Spectrum Search Group. Normary Perez and I visiting a community in Orange County! Visiting communities is our favorite thing to do! We did another community tour in December. Normary immersed herself, getting to know the intricacies of senior living to become a better recruiter. We met with the Executive Director and had a tour of the community. Normary was able to ask questions and develop a relationship with senior living and a passion for the industry. Knowledge is power! The more you know and can understand this very unique industry we recruit in and support in providing talent, the better you are to serve clients and candidates. #recruiting #executiveleadership #seniorlivingcareers
