Job search isn't just for extroverts -- #MotivatingMondays Episode 64

In this episode of #MotivatingMondays, we take a closer look at the challenges introverts face in a job market designed for extroverts. Job search by its very nature requires people to draw on the skills, abilities and natural disposition of extroverts, which can be a challenge for their introvert counterparts. We need to help introverted clients understand they are being judged against candidates who are more comfortable articulating their strengths. Just as with all job search candidates we need to emphasize there is nothing wrong with discussing their strengths, touting their achievements and making a sincere connection with a prospective employer.   #MotivingMondays, is a weekly YouTube series dedicated to help Canadian job developers and other employer engagement professionals develop the tools, resources, expertise and network needed to excel in achieving sustainable employment outcomes for their clients and students. If you would like to join us LIVE, we meet every Monday morning online with job developers from across Canada to discuss a new topic. Meetings are 30 minutes and start at 8:30 Pacific; 9:30 Mountain; 10:30 Central; 11:30 Eastern; 12:30 Atlantic and at 1pm in Newfoundland and Labrador.

'Doomjobbing' This can't be good! -- #MotivatingMondays Episode 62

In this episode of #MotivatingMondays, we’re going to talk about the new 'Doomjobbing' trend, a variation of 'doomscrolling' on social media, a habit which can become a way of engaging with a problem that feels outside our control. Getting hired, by its very nature, feels outside of our control and so there is a natural tendency to try to apply for as many jobs as possible.   #MotivingMondays, is a weekly YouTube series dedicated to help Canadian job developers and other employer engagement professionals develop the tools, resources, expertise and network needed to excel in achieving sustainable employment outcomes for their clients and students.
