I interviewed someone with a 17 month gap on their resume.

Me: I’m just curious, why the gap? Did your employer lay you off?

Him: No, I quit. My fathers health declined. So I relocated to take care of him and spend as much time with him as I could before I had to say goodbye.

Me: That says a lot about who you are. We can always start a new job but we can never get our time back with the people we love.

He will get the chance to work with us.

WHY? A person who knows when to leave a job to be there for their family is the type of person I want to work with.

Who agrees ? 👇👇👇
I once hired an employee 5 minutes into their first interview. They ended up being a great fit.

I could have asked for more interviews, a case study, or had them wait two weeks for an answer.

But I wouldn't want someone to do that to me.

The hiring process today forgets that each resume is from a person with dreams, a family, and bills to pay.

Interviewing 100 people 6 times each for your entry-level job wastes everyone's time.

Here's my advice:

If someone is a good fit, just hire them.

STOP ASKING CANDIDATES:

1. Why do you want to work here?
2. What's your greatest weakness?
3. What would your last boss say about you?
4. Why should we hire you?

WHY ARE THESE BAD QUESTIONS?

1. The candidate doesn't know whether they want the job yet. They came to the interview to learn more; you invited them to learn more about them. You wouldn't like it if the candidate asked you, “Why do you want to hire me?“ so don't ask “Why do you want the job?“

2. It is just an opinion that people have “weaknesses;“ it is not a scientific fact. Even if they do have weaknesses, why would it be any of your business what a candidate's weaknesses are? You are not about to share your failings, so don't ask for theirs. Ask what they bring to the job, instead.

3. Some managers are amazing leaders and some are terrible at their jobs. Just because someone is a boss doesn't mean their opinion matters.

4. The candidate isn't going to meet the other candidates for the job. YOU know what you're looking for; they don't.

ASK THESE QUESTIONS INSTEAD:

1. What interested you in the job? (By the way, here's what we liked about your resume.)

2. How do you think your background & talents suit this job?

3. What else would you like to know about the job?

4. How would this job advance your career?
BEING A DAD MEANS EMBRACING THE JOY

Being a dad sometimes means setting aside pride and being willing to look a little foolish—all for the sheer joy and laughter of our kids. A dad’s role in a child’s life is more than providing guidance or discipline; it’s about building moments that let a child feel loved, secure, and confident. The kind of moments that make kids feel like their world is filled with warmth and laughter.

These small acts, where dads don’t mind making a fool of themselves, have a long-lasting impact. They show children that love isn’t always serious or quiet; it can be goofy, loud, and lighthearted. Mark Twain once said, “To get the full value of joy, you must have someone to divide it with.” And who better to share that joy than a dad who doesn’t take himself too seriously?

Hopefully, these children grow up with cherished memories of a dad who wasn’t afraid to dance around, make silly faces, or tell funny stories just to see them smile.

Hopefully you enjoy my posts and will follow me on LinkedIn.

Someone shared a post saying she was looking for a job. There were 0 likes and no comment. So I liked, commented and tagged a couple of recruiters. Last week she sent me a message:

“Brigette, thank you so much for taking the time to comment on my post. The views on my post went to 300,000. Recruiters contacted me. Someone even volunteered to review my resume for free. I now have 2 interviews and I did not have any for the last 3 months. I am so excited! I only wish there were more people like you.”

Job searching is emotionally draining. So whenever you see such posts, share or drop a like or comment. It only takes a few seconds but could be a lifechanger for someone.

You may not be able to get them a job, but someone who might be able to, may see it. This is what LinkedIn and true networking is about. Let's help each other out.

My neighbor lost his corporate job two months ago. To make ends meet he started cleaning cars, painting homes, and even cutting grass. Some of his colleagues laughed. They thought it was “beneath him.”

His only focus was to provide for his family.

Fast forward, people are happy with his work and have referred friends. He’s making almost as much money as he was before.

Defeat is a choice. He made a choice to not accept defeat. Never down someone who refuses to give up.

Your ABILITY is GREATER than any disability.
Searching for a JOB? I saw a post someone shared seeking employment. He had been recently laid off. There was 0 likes. So I liked and commented. This happened last week. Friday he emailed me to say how grateful he was for my support and he got and accepted an offer.

Many individuals here are searching for jobs and when no one likes or comments on their updates, it feels like added rejection. Job searching is emotionally draining and discouraging. And It takes guts to share, “I am out of work and need a job...”

So when you see such posts, share or drop a like or comment. Every little bit counts. It will boost their visibility and will give them encouragement to keep pressing on. You may not be able to get them a job but someone else who might be able to, may see it.

This is what LinkedIn and true networking is about. Let's help each other out.

This is how great companies treat their employees.
Employers,

Stop asking candidates to have a degree when:
a) you pay $14.00 an hour with no benefits
b) the skills for the job can easily be taught
c) your job descriptions don’t match reality

Sincerely,

Everyone and their mother.

#resignation

One of my team member resigned.

He felt almost sorry letting me know about his decision.

I pushed for better rating for him in the last cycle as he deserved it.

He was moving to an aspirational brand.

I knew that he will do well in his new role.

I would have loved to have him in my team.

Mind felt like stopping him, the Heart said, let him go and make his exit smooth.

I wished him good luck and jokingly said “Go there and see if you find something interesting for my seniority ;)“

Till I was working in Corporate, he kept coming back with senior roles that he came to know in his company.

He would come back for discussions, guidance and more so to let me know how my mentoring has helped him grow in the new place.

“Leadership is not just about building an A team, but it is also about letting them go if that is best for them“.

Agree?

When we take care of our people, our people take care of our business.
I INTERVIEWED an exiting employee, and here are 5 insights I would like to share with you:

1. Mental resignation happens long before. The physical resignation is the final act of a loss of hope.
2. You can’t try to appreciate someone on their way out. It is a little too late.
3. Money motivates only to a point. People rarely leave just for money.
4. Career progression is one of the biggest factors to retention. Every job plateaus. Create a career path for each employee to ensure they stay motivated.
5. Once trust is broken, it's hard to regain.

Your employees are your most valuable asset. Don't take them for granted or treat them poorly. Loyalty is a two-way street.
John Lewis have lost £99 million in 6 months after deciding to “forego profit” to help their customers & staff during the cost of living crisis.

Here's what they're investing in rather than profit:

- A £500 cost of living payment for full time staff
- A 4% increase in entry level pay
- Free meals during winter

And as a business owner, I can't think of anything more commendable than John Lewis putting their people first.

👏👏👏

Il y a un vrai problème avec l’entrepreneuriat féminin.

Ça me choque toujours autant...

Ma copine a lancé sa boîte récemment. Elle s’en sort super bien, et elle commence à avoir de l’exposition médiatique.

Récemment, j’ai lu un peu les commentaires d’un article du huffpost sur elle...

- « Merci papa et maman pour l’argent 😂 »
- « 8/10 avec son maquillage, mais 5/10 sans, je pense. »
- « C’est bien beau mais certains doivent travailler, eux !”

On en est encore là en 2021 ?

Les fonds levés par les créatrices de start-up ne représentent que 2% de la totalité des financements débloqués depuis dix ans pour la création d'entreprises en France.

Avec une telle mentalité, forcément cette statistique n’est pas étonnante.

Tant que certains continueront à résumer les femmes à leur maquillage et à l’aide dont elles sont sensées bénéficier pour accomplir la moindre tâche (hors cuisine et ménage, allons), on se privera de très belles boites en France.

Les femmes se font moins confiance que les hommes lorsqu’il s’agit de lancer leur activité.
Normal, si on fait tout pour que ce soit le cas...

Il est grand temps que ça change.

J’ai hâte de voir de nombreuses entrepreneures botter des c** très bientôt !

“The kindest person in the room is often the smartest“ — a spot on, inspiring message from Governor Pritzker. It applies to bullies of all kinds and proves bullying is a form of weakness.
I was miserable in my first job. I was underpaid, undervalued, and underwater.

But I learned some important lessons:

1. No amount of hard work will fix a toxic work environment. ⏰

2. Your time and energy are valuable - regardless of how much someone is paying you. 💵

3. Others can't always see how much you're worth. That's their problem. 🔮


Shoutout to the mentors all over the world helping others recognize their worth. It literally changes lives.

I was on a HIRING committee where the CEO didn't like any of the candidates interviewed. He said none of them met his criteria. We clashed on this and I told him that person does not exist. There is no 'perfect' employee.

He ignored my suggestions and the position remained vacant for 4 months. Long story, short...He finally hired someone who had all the qualifications he wanted. This guy had quite an impressive resume! But sadly he did not perform well. He was 'PERFECT' on paper but did not have good people skills.

Qualifications are important but so is soft skills. A perfect resume does not equate to success on the job. Sadly many hiring managers and recruiters ignore these 2 major factors - 'PASSION & POTENTIAL'. A candidate may not tick every box on your checklist, but they may be the ones who can bring so much value to the organization. Agree?

I want to encourage you along this journey. I know job searching can be emotionally draining. No one should have to go through this alone. I think everyone should support jobseekers' posts.

BOSS: I didn't see you log on at 10:00am.
Employee: But we are working from home. I was on a break.
BOSS: That's not the stipulated break times.
Employee: But I am getting my work done.
BOSS: I just need to see you online and I need to know your movements.
Employee: Okay fine. I am starting and finishing on time. Nothing more.

Micromanagement is a complete waste of time! It sucks the life out of employees. If you hired someone for a job, then trust them to get it done!

Joe Biden has been one of America’s most consequential presidents, as well as a dear friend and partner to me. Today, we’ve also been reminded – again – that he’s a patriot of the highest order.

Here’s my full statement:
This hero is playing a critical role in Kenya’s preparations to tackle COVID-19 by scaling up medical oxygen supplies that will be needed to keep the most critically ill patients alive.
Big MISTAKE.
Loyal employees are often treated worse because they are loyal and thus would not go anywhere. Big mistake. Just because someone is loyal does not mean they can't reach a point of no return. Loyal people quit before they resign, when they had enough. Never push loyal people to the point where they don't care. Think twice about losing them because your own future depends on them. Short post which explains why:

Employee to HR: I am giving 2 weeks of notice. I want to move on.

HR: You know , we don't need you anymore. Today is your last day.

I have seen this many times. Too often when an employee resigns, and it seems the company has no use for them, they are treated poorly. You can pretty much tell the values of a company by how they treat 1. Jobseekers and 2. Those leaving. It's time to put back the “Human“ in Human Resources.

Bereavement policy…let’s talk about it.

In 2013, my grandmother, who was my favorite person, had a brain tumor. She was rushed to hospital and put on life support.

She was states away, and I had a narrow window to go down, hold her hand, and tell her my final goodbyes before they stopped the support.

The funeral would be held about a week later.

Distraught, I went to my then corporate HR department to tell them I’d need to take multiple days for this traumatic loss.

“Well, she’s not immediate family, so you only get one day.”

“What? She’s like a parent to me?”

“I’m sorry, that’s the policy.”

“Ok, I’ll just take time with no pay. This is important. I can’t put a price on being with my family.”

“Mmm as a salaried employee that’s not really common…”

I stood there incredulously.

It was a shame, because otherwise I had a great experience with this employer; that incident left such a sour taste in my mouth.

So, when I started my own company, I vowed I’d never do that to people. Grief is a process. A HARD one.

At Brandwise, we give generous paid time when…

> a loved one dies
> a pet dies
> friends die

Because I’ll never make someone work through their grief and not be with their family as they heal.

People > policy.

If you’re not exercising compassion as a leader, people WILL remember that.

Eu tinha um funcionário, o Tiago, que queria porque queria ser promovido.

E eu estava convencido de que ele NÃO merecia a promoção.

Um dia, quando meus bons argumentos já haviam se esgotado, eu perguntei a ele:

Qual é a palavra que melhor define seu ponto mais forte? E ele me respondeu: Criatividade.

Aí, eu pedi para dez colegas definirem o Tiago em uma única palavra. E nenhum dos dez mencionou criatividade.

A maioria disse exatamente o contrário, definindo-o como “mão na massa”. E foi aí que o Tiago finalmente se convenceu.

Essa experiência foi tão positiva que resolvemos transformá-la em um programa interno, chamado “Qual é seu slogan?”.

Após fazer o teste com vários funcionários, descobrimos duas coisas:

1) 80% dos funcionários não eram vistos pelos colegas da maneira como viam a si próprios.

2) Os 20% que eram definidos pelos outros como definiam a si mesmos eram exatamente os que tinham se dado melhor na carreira.

Conclusão: os profissionais mais bem-sucedidos não só acreditam em seu ponto forte, mas conseguem transmiti-lo claramente a seus colegas e superiores.

E então: qual é seu slogan? Faça o teste. E fica o convite para você compartilhar aqui o resultado. Talvez você se surpreenda.

48 people got HIRED.
You could be the next !
Here is how.

Write a short post about yourself, or post CV/resume.
Use hashtag #oleg so I and my network of 1.7M can easily find it. We will give your post visibility. Or you can simply put a comment here- “interested“ and a like. In our network there are 250,000 recruiters !

48 is just the count of those who sent me happy inmails.

It works because there are so many people who want to help you. Because we know what it is like to get rejection after rejection after rejection.

Here is why we do it.

We really don't need a reason to help others. But if one needs a reason, it is this one. It just feels good !

When I made it my mission to help others, which I did purely by logic at the time, I became a much happier person.

Takers eat better, givers sleep better.

Kindness is the best strategy in life !

I once interviewed this young lady highly recommended. She was so nervous, couldn't answer a question properly.

It was a panel interview. So I asked the other panelists to leave the room and me and the HR manager remained. She was able to do better with the remaining questions but overall didn't do well in the interview. But as the hiring manager, I couldn't get past my gut feeling she was the best candidate for the job. She had a good track record. I knew I needed to give her a chance and within 6 months, she exceeded all my expectations.

You just never know who it is behind the person shown in an interview. We shouldn't be too quick to cross someone off who didn't do well in the interview. The truth is interviews can be nerve-wracking. There is much more to a person that just passing / failing an interview. Acing an interview does not equate to success on the job.

Focus on the real person and what they can bring to the table. Agree?

Looking for a job ? Follow me. Not because I am amazing, I am very ordinary. But because recruiters tag me with job postings. Whenever I see a job posting, I share it with my network.
I also think everyone should be sharing job announcements. It takes a second, but may change someone's life.
That's what LinkedIn is for !

When you REJECT a CANDIDATE, don't hurt their chances of getting another job.
   1. Tell the RECRUITER all the strong points you saw in the candidate

   2. Give the candidate an advice on the resume and the interview. It does not cost anything to be nice

  3. Get back to the candidate quickly

  4. If you know someone else who may need them, why not help both sides.

On the last point, early in my career, someone told me they dont need me but made a call to another place (a restaurant) and recommended me there. I got the job and I can never forget the woman who helped me.
And I still remember the name of her restaurant, the one that rejected me, fondly.

Be someone who people remember.

Don't show up to prove, show up to improve.
Great leaders don't see themselves as great; they see themselves as human.
NO WAY!!! My candidate had a 5 year GAP in her resume. After she interviewed with the client: The feedback I got from them was very disappointing. “Your applicant presented herself very well and seems qualified, but 5 years OFF is a long time, we can’t take that RISK.“

“OFF”? She had taken the “break” to be a stay-at-home mom when her first child was born. In addition, she was assisting her aging parents. She did not hide this on her resume. She wrote “professional sabbatical to care of my family.“

AND she explained all of this during the job interview.

“RISK”? This is an excellent candidate who kept her skills up to date. Yet all my client could see was the gap. A gap in employment history should not discount someone’s abilities.

Shouldn't a GAP in employment be expected at some point in one's career? If a candidate has the right skills and attitude to do the job, shouldn’t that be enough?
Today, I interviewed someone who has been unemployed for a year.

I saw their resume and thought their prior experience aligned with the role, so I reached out to them.

I didn't interrogate them on why they were unemployed or what they have been doing over the last year.

I look at experience and if you are able to do the job. I don't create a story about someone's gaps, or job experience, I let them share that information on their own.

To my jobseekers out there, there are recruiters out there that are interviewing unemployed people for roles and moving them to the next round of interviews because they believe that they are qualified for the role. WE understand that life happens.

RH : Vous êtes le meilleur candidat pour ce poste mais je crains que nous ne puissions pas vous payer.

Candidat : D'accord. 2500€, c'est bien.
RH : Quand pouvez-vous commencer ?

Entre-temps, le budget pour ce poste particulier était de 6000€.

Les RH ont l'impression d'avoir fait du bon travail dans la négociation salariale et la direction sera heureuse d'avoir réduit les coûts pour l'organisation.

Le nouvel employé commence et remarque la disparité salariale. Devinez ce qui se passe ? Insatisfaction. Désengagement. Déloyauté.

Deux mois plus tard, l'employé quitte l'organisation pour un meilleur emploi. Le processus de recrutement recommence. Ce qui entraîne des coûts supplémentaires et des écarts de performance au sein de l'équipe et de l'organisation.

Afin d'attirer et de retenir les meilleurs talents, payez les gens à leur juste valeur.

A candidate applies for a role on Monday.

We discussed the role on Tuesday, and now he has 2 further interviews scheduled for Wednesday.

He Had his final interview on Friday and got the offer next Monday.

Why can't all companies work like this?

Post a job.
Talk with the candidate.
Schedule 2-3 more conversations with different people.
Take a decision.
Make an offer.

You don't need 7 conversations and 2 tests over 2 months to make a decision.

Stop overcomplicating the hiring process.

A RECRUITER contacted me and said she has a great JOB for me. I told her I am not looking but I did recommend 2 people. There are so many individuals out there who are job searching,

1. Always refer others for opportunities. It only takes a few moments but to someone it could be a life changer.
2. You are building a relationship with a recruiter. You never know what tomorrow holds.
3. You help someone find a job and you help the recruiter get a good candidate.

It's sad that she had said few recommend others. Let's help each other out. Always pay it forward. Agree?

14 years ago today, LinkedIn launched its first web site. Every year since we've celebrated the company's birthday along with Cinco de Mayo. Happy Cinco de LinkedIn!
Un día lo tuve todo, y lo perdí en 15 segundos.

Tenía un trabajo que iba muy bien.
Una casa donde me gustaba vivir.
Tenía las comodidades que me permitía tener.
Tenía a mi hija en cursos que ella disfrutaba.
No tenía muchas deudas.
Me podía preocupar por cosas banales y sufría muy poco.

Me levantaba en las mañanas feliz y agradecida y seguía a otro día, feliz y agradecida.

…De repente mi hija se sostuvo la cabeza, me dijo “me duele” y perdimos todo nuestro universo conocido.

A sus 9 años sufrió un infarto cerebral severo.

Dormí meses en el piso de un hospital.
Salimos del país con una maleta con cepillo de dientes y papeles, sin siquiera ropa para cambiarnos.
No volví a ver mi casa meses.
No volví a ver a mi familia meses.
El trabajo se hizo borroso, no lo pude sostener y hasta ahora estoy remando para avanzar.
Cualquier comodidad que alguna vez conocí no la volví a ver.
Me llené de deudas que no sé cuando terminaremos de cubrir, porque cada día crecen.

Pero el día que perdí todo me di cuenta que no perdí, gané!

Gané porque mi hija sobrevivió y está conmigo, y todo lo que pensé que era valioso se esfumó y quedó lo único que realmente importa: la vida.


Ya son 5 meses desde su infarto, y sólo puedo pensar en la suerte que tengo y lo agradecida que estoy.

Amen, abracen, quieran, a veces 15 segundos bastan para cambiar todo.
