Good opportunities in different departments

OTEs are a scam. When I was on the job hunt I basically cut them all in half. Until I found the jackpot of sales org insights. And got real, transparent info into the companies I was evaluating. Changing jobs is a massive decision and you should have all the insight you can before making it. Checkout almost 300 sales orgs in the jackpot who are hiring right now: https://lnkd.in/gspZGVb8 #sales #hiring

Every job is a learning opportunity. I learned how about #sales by working at JCPenney as a Fine Jewelry Expert. I learned how to actively listen, how to #consult customers on different products, and how to build lasting relationships with those customers. I learned how to manage #inventory and the importance of #merchandising. These skills have become invaluable to me. My time at call centers taught me #timemanagement and how to respectfully and politely control a call. I learned how to create a connection with just my voice. I learned some of the best #deescalation tactics known to man. Working in banking, particularly in the fraud department, taught me how to protect myself from #scams. I learned #empathy and #compassion. I learned how to keep my cool under pressure. I learned how to trust my instincts and was able to hone my investigative skills. And finally, working with startups taught me #flexibility. I learned how to pivot on a dime. I learned how to be an effective #leader. I learned how to manage a team virtually and how to create a fun and supportive environment in a #remote setting. I learned true #projectmanagement and #resourcefulness. Take every job as a learning lesson. Even if it's not the job you want to make into a career. I promise you, there's always something to learn. #opentowork

Recently, I went to Home Depot looking for parts for a pressure washer and a hose adapter. I had to speak with nearly five associates, none of whom could help me find what I needed. Four of them seemed unsure and mentioned that the store didn't have a lot of stock. One associate understood my request but made it more complicated, ultimately telling me it wouldn't work. I was ready to give up and leave when I finally found the part I needed, and it worked perfectly. I believe companies should invest in their employees by training them thoroughly in their specialties. Instead of just hiring staff to stock shelves, give them opportunities to become knowledgeable experts. For instance, if you run a shoe store, all your employees should know about the shoes you sell. #homedepot #2cents

Ever felt like staffing a new location is like trying to build a car without parts? 🚗❌ Pumped up about opening a new store, but dreading the hiring? You're thinking, "Got this killer new spot, but where the heck do I find the right crew to run it?" Here's the real talk: The playbook for building a high performing team at a new store starts with a deep bench. New location? Dig your well before you're thirsty. Picture this: Your new shop, engines humming, techs in sync, and customers lining up. All because you staffed it just right. Feels good, doesn't it? It ain't just a daydream. 🔧 Strategy Snapshot: Start early. Get your creative, benefit filled ads ready and get them running ASAP. Get to know the talent in the area. Build relationships and tell your story. But most importantly, capture names and contact information! You want to build a deep bench of potential talent who will be ready to go when you cut the ribbon on the new store. You’ll probably want to take a few seasoned employees with you to show the new folks how things are done in your culture so finding replacements at your existing store will also be a consideration. Your new location isn't just about new business; it's about building new relationships. Get your team right, and they'll drive the business for you. Opening a new shop? Don’t reinvent the hiring wheel; just tweak the blueprint and start early. 🛠️ #Jobs #Staffing #Employment #StaffingAgency #Repair #Auto #Hiring #Automotive #Mechanic #Technician #TechnicianFind #AutoRepair #AutoRepairShop
