  5. Effective job search has to prioritize 'quality' over 'quantity' -- #MotivatingMondays Episode 56

    Effective job search has to prioritize 'quality' over 'quantity' -- #MotivatingMondays Episode 56

    In this episode of #MotivatingMondays, we’re looking at the preference of job seekers to apply for as many jobs as possible online, rather than taking the time and effort to curate a comprehensive job search involving networking, information interviews and in-person applications. Clients and students claim they've applied for 100 jobs without hearing back. Is the problem the employers who don’t follow-up or a job search strategy focused on quantity of applications and not the quality of job applications?   #MotivingMondays, is a weekly YouTube series dedicated to help Canadian job developers and other employer engagement professionals develop the tools, resources, expertise and network needed to excel in achieving sustainable employment outcomes for their clients and students.

    Creating job opportunities during the 'silver tsunami' -- #MotivatingMondays Episode 55

    In this episode of #MotivatingMondays, we’re looking at a huge transfer of business leadership coming soon. The average age of Canadian small business owners is approximately 53 to 54 years old, with a significant portion of entrepreneurs approaching retirement age. Data indicates that around 60 per cent of small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) owners in Canada are aged 50 or older. Marketing a client to a 35 year-old business owner and a 60 year-old business owner is a different arrangement and we should be tailoring our approach as such.   #MotivingMondays, is a weekly YouTube series dedicated to help Canadian job developers and other employer engagement professionals develop the tools, resources, expertise and network needed to excel in achieving sustainable employment outcomes for their clients and students.

    Mastering the art of 'Discovery' in job development -- #MotivatingMondays Episode 54

    In this episode of #MotivatingMondays, we’re looking at the technique of 'Discovery' where we resist the urge to pitch clients and instead ask probative questions to better understand what an employer is looking for. A recent study shows that customers speak during 57% of the conversation in successful discovery sales calls. Their research also has found top-performing reps ask 39% more questions during the discovery call.   #MotivingMondays, is a weekly YouTube series dedicated to help Canadian job developers and other employer engagement professionals develop the tools, resources, expertise and network needed to excel in achieving sustainable employment outcomes for their clients and students.
