Will Gig Workers Become the New “Employee?”

Gig Worker
A gig worker (a term borrowed from the music industry: going from job to job, or gig to gig) is an independent contractor that is contracted by a company to perform a service, or services. This ‘contract’ may not have a term, e.g. 6 months, 1 year. Probably, when the assigned task(s) are completed, so is the job.

Is a Gap in Work History a Career Killer?

Sad Job Seeker
​A gap in work history used to be a ‘red flag’ to hiring managers, but is it still as bad for a candidate to have months, or even years, without a job?

Make 2017 Your Best Year Ever!

Happy New Year
​About 40 percent of Americans make New Year’s resolutions each year, but most of us don’t make it to February with our goals intact. The good news for folks who are focusing their resolutions on their careers is that there are plenty of opportunities to make small changes at work. You never know what will have a big impact on your career.
 
I am not suggesting that everyone change their career path, but since more than 70% of executives have their resumes floating on the Internet, it’s apparent that many are open to other opportunities.
 
Sure, certain things may not be to your liking with your present employer and the grass always appears greener with the prospective employer. In my experience, that may be true however the grass that WAS green with the last employer may be brown with the new employer. You won’t know until you get there and then what?
 
Asking the best questions to (a) gain as much information as you feel that you need to confidently decide (which most candidates are content/forced into being interrogated in an interview), and (b) be as certain as possible as to why you are changing companies, and/or industries – it’s a whole, new learning experience!
 
I have coached more than 1,000 clients into an easier and more productive way to interview that provides positive separation between you and those competitors that appear ‘better’ in print. Even pro athletes have a coach! “SELL THE FIT!” Learn how!
 
I wish all of my readers and ‘followers’ the happiest of New Years!

Personality Tests. What Do They Mean…if anything?

Struggling while taking a Personality Test
These so-called ‘tests,’ or 'assessments' have been around for years. Many companies utilize them today, along with some possible people ‘certified’ on deciphering the results. Meyers-Briggs, DISC®, 360, and probably a couple of others are the most popular. 25+ available!
 
Those that swear by the results say they can assess your personality and behavioral traits and instincts that your mother may not know. Like so many other things such as political persuasion, or ideologies regarding anything, if you believe, then you believe. These folks are convinced they know how you will react to just about anything from a 30 to 60-minute test!
​I DO NOT!
