Thank goodness I've never faced this problem. My mother always told me that if I wanted to leave a job, I should find another one first. The other thing, I have learned on my own, is that every job has bad days and every job has annoying people so you will always have to deal with that, there is no way around that. There is no sense leaving a good job because someone annoys you, this will happen at your next job. If you have a really bad day and want to quit, take a day off or a week. Usually you will feel better and be ready to go back to work. It also helps to find someone to listen to you vent and provide suggestions. I think that is why I've been able to stay at the same job so long. If I was let go, or the organization I work for closed, I would immediately begin with indeed. I've always worked for nonprofits and I am comfortable working at nonprofits. I enjoy working to help others, I don't think I would enjoy working to make widgets. I would also use my social network and let people know I'm looking for work. Thankfully, due to dutiful savings, I could probably go a year without a job, but I would not want to do so. A new job would be exciting and moving would be interesting as well so I'm flexible and I think that helps a lot when considering employment.

Ever received a LinkedIn message from a recruiter and immediately thought "Why would I go through them when I back myself to apply and find jobs independently?" Here's a few reasons why: ❗ Access to exclusive opportunities: We often have connections to job openings that aren't advertised publicly. Gain access to a number of niche opportunities you might have otherwise missed. ❗ Industry insights: Benefit from our expertise in market trends, career advice, and company cultures to stay ahead. It never hurts to entertain a conversation just to stay up to date with what the market is looking like. ❗ Establishing your worth: Let us help you determine your professional value based on experience and market demand, ensuring fair compensation. Don't risk missing out on fair compensation simply because you weren't aware of what you deserved. I'm always open for a conversation to discuss East Coast landscape opportunities or have a chat about the market. Feel free to shoot me a message and we can set up a time!

Now that I'm back working again and going through resumes for roles that are assigned to me, I'm noticing that a lot of people really do apply for roles where their experience doesn't match up at all. Even though I don't like seeing it, I totally get it. After being unemployed for 13 months full-time before my new current role, more than anything it tells me that people are desperate to find work. These are candidates that are currently employed and not happy where they are and also those who are unemployed. This current job market is still ROUGH! Let's show compassion for everyone looking for work, especially for those who are out of work right now. I'm STILL rooting for you and hope that you will find what you are looking for. If you are looking for work feel free to share in the comments what type of role(s) you are looking for, where you are located, etc...You know the drill. Hopefully, someone I'm connected to can help connect you to your next opportunity. WE MUST ELEVATE AND EVOLVE OUR THINKING CONCERNING THE JOB SEARCH into today's market! Nothing is as it was pre-Covid. If we don't, we are doing ourselves a disservice as recruiters/hiring managers as well as a disservice to candidates. Let's help folks get back to work! Have a great week, everyone! 😁

If you’re struggling in your job search or stuck in a job you don’t like, you’re not alone. I’ve spoken to a few friends, ex colleagues and people who reach out to be for advice and there’s a lot of people in tough situations right now. And that’s what I wanted to communicate; it’s not just you, it’s market conditions. When you’re in that loop of applying for jobs and not hearing back or searching for jobs and seeing nothing you want to apply for, it becomes a very lonely feeling. So while I don’t have the magic- blanket solutions others might post about, hopefully there’s at least some comfort in knowing you’re not the only one experiencing this. I’m going to open up some slots for calls with people struggling with their job search, before work and lunch times. If you’re based in Australia and work in tech (companies or roles) or creative and you’ve been looking for a job for more than 3 months, DM me and I’ll see if I can help.

Big companies are stepping up to support those impacted by recent redundancies. Let's continue to share and repost job opportunities - your actions can make a significant difference in someone's job search journey. 🔥

🚀 DESPERATELY SEEKING CAREER RESCUE MISSION! 🚀 Hey awesome humans, So, picture this: I've been doing the unemployed tango for seven months, and my dance card is getting a bit too long.

I've sent more resumes into the digital abyss than I've had cups of coffee (and that's saying something). I'm not just here to spill the tea; I'm begging for a sip of opportunity.

I read stories like this everyday. The sad reality is that job loss can happen to anyone. The economy is in terrible shape with record job loss…and now there is a surplus of candidates on the market. This coupled with the increased use of technology has made it more challenging and competitive for jobseekers. In fact, it’s the worse I have ever seen in my 25+ years in talent acquisitions. If you are gainfully employed, I urge you to be fully prepared for the worse. In other words, have your resume updated, ATS optimized, and written with the clear value you bring to an organization so you can hit the ground running. Otherwise, you may find yourself in the same position as Katherine.
