In today’s rapidly advancing world, job qualifications are continually rising. Many listings now demand advanced degrees like Master’s or MBAs, along with 5-6 years of technical experience. While it’s exciting to see our society set ambitious new benchmarks, there's growing concern for those without multiple degrees who might be left behind. We need a balanced approach that values diverse educational backgrounds and experiences. Let’s advocate for a job market that recognizes potential, nurtures talent, and offers opportunities for continuous learning and growth. This way, everyone has a fair chance to contribute to and benefit from our progress. . . . . . . . #InclusiveHiring #DiverseQualifications #CareerOpportunities #LifelongLearning #JobMarketTrends #ProfessionalGrowth #EducationEquity #SkillDevelopment #WorkforceInnovation #FutureOfWork

I thought I crushed my IBM interview in college. I was floored when they didn't hire me. I was applying for a summer engineering internship and my career counselor helped me set up an interview at the campus career center. He could tell how well the interview going from his office. "I heard her engage with you, react well, even laugh - you were having the best conversation I heard all day." Two weeks later they said no. My counselor helped me learn the reason. IBM wanted to hire interns who would turn into career employees. The interviewer asked about my long-term ambitions and I was honest: I wanted to eventually start my own company (which I'm so glad I did). I learned that I was a fit for everything they wanted in an intern except for the fact that I would someday leave the company, which meant I was not their IEP (ideal employee profile). It was a big lesson for 20-year-old me. But it helped me understand that it's really important to know what your ideal profile is and to create a rubric that enables you to filter those who don't fit. That ideal profile goes for employees AND customers (ICP). The right fit creates a much higher ROI. *** ♻️ Like this? Please repost. ➡️ Follow me for daily executive coaching.

Despite what we've been told, many employers don’t rank school attendance and degree earned as the most important requirement when hiring. In actuality, employers are far more interested in your skills and experience, even as a recent college graduate. Entry-level positions are increasingly looking to hire those with experience which can be difficult for most recent grads. If you or someone you know would like to learn more about what you can do to gain experience and become the ideal candidate when applying for positions, check out my FREE webinar: Beyond Graduation: Navigating Post-College Career Success on May 21st, 2024 by clicking the link below! https://lnkd.in/e3NsktjM #BeFulfilled #Careers #collegestudents #recentgrads #recentgraduate #jobsearch #jobsaftercollege #careercoaching #studentcareercoaching #iamlateiabrown

Technical Tip Tuesday   Warning, it's a little harsh.   If you have zero experience in IT, you are unlikely to get an entry-level IT job on your own.   It's hard to hear, but that is what I've noticed as a technical recruiter.   You are more than likely qualified for the role that you applied for, but the reality is, your competition will most likely have more experience.   Experience matters.   Unfortunately, the ability to walk into a company like prior generations, apply for a job right out of school and work your way up is rare today.   The workforce transformation solutions that Brooksource came up are called Elevate and Project Patriot.   We know that it's a struggle for jobseekers to get that first IT job on your own, and we know that employers struggle with having the time and resources to get those candidates up to speed.   Elevate provides those consultants with a cohort style, apprenticeship environment where they can learn, earn and grow all at the same time.   Brooksource isn't the only company offering apprenticeships or entry level programs, so if you are an associate level, fresh graduate or career changer, my technical tip is to look for paid employment programs where everyone is truly entry level instead of focusing your applications on entry level jobs.   #WorkforceTransformations #Brooksource #Elevate #ProjectPatriot #CareeerChanger #Associatelevel #EntryLevel #Helpdesk #NetworkEngineer #veteran #transitioningservicemember #Skillbridge #MilitarySpouse #CyberSecurity #Engineering #ITJobs #TechnicalRecruiter #Recruiter #OpentoWork
