Your ability to learn new skills quickly is a great asset to employers, but what if you took it a step further and pursued learning the skills you need on your own before you apply for the job? That's called upskilling, and it's an amazing way to build your skillset, confidence, and industry knowledge to secure your next big role. In this episode, we're sharing our experience with upskilling in our careers, and the spectrum of learning opportunities from webinars to certifications to online courses.Links mentioned:UdemySkillshareSome key takeaways from this episode include:While you don't need to check every single box in a job description to apply, the knowledge gaps you have might make you nervous for an interview. By taking a class or getting a certification in that area, you'll show up confidently for your interview… and hopefully the role!When you're deciding which skill or tool you should learn more about, scan through the job descriptions you've been looking at and pick the ones that have shown up consistently in 10-15 of those job descriptions.Sometimes there's a big payoff for upskilling, but it can also come down to applied experience. Remember that upskilling is an opportunity to learn new things, find new passions or things you're great at, and shouldn't only be tied to your job search.Welcome to the Shine at Work Podcast!

If you're struggling to find a full-time role, or you're not yet sure what you want to commit to full-time position, a contract role might be a great fit for you. In this episode, we're sharing some of the benefits of taking on a contractor position, how to negotiate as a contractor, and key things to know about contract roles from an HR perspective.Some key takeaways from this episode include:Taking a contractor role can have a few benefits. You can expose yourself to different types of companies, leaders, and roles to get a feel for what you will eventually want in a full time role while building your skills and your resume.If you sign a contract with the understanding that a contract role will turn into a full-time role down the line, try to get a timeline in writing for when you'll have a follow-up conversation with your manager about it.As for what to charge, remember that you're responsible for paying your income taxes yourself as a contractor. A good rule of thumb is to add about 20-30% to your standard hourly rate, factoring in the industry standard and your experience.Welcome to the Shine at Work Podcast!

If you're currently in a full time role while you're job searching, you're in a great position! However, it can still be tough to find time to research, apply, and interview for a new job while balancing your full-time job. In this episode, we're sharing the routines you can adopt to make time for job hunting without burning yourself out or alerting your current company to your search.Links mentioned:Listen to Episode 91: Navigating LayoffsSome key takeaways from this episode include:If you have a pretty demanding job, carve out a few hours on the weekend for your search. You can also repurpose your personal time, such as lunch breaks or the hour you're usually decompressing on social media at the end of the day.When it comes to interviews, let the recruiter or hiring manager know you're still working full time. Try to schedule a time in the morning hours before work, on a lunch break at a quiet coffee shop, or later in the work day when meetings aren't really happening.Updating your LinkedIn profile can be nerve-wrecking because you don't want to alert your employer that you're possibly looking for a job. In your LinkedIn settings, you can actually turn off the public notifications that let your connections know you've updated your profile.Welcome to the Shine at Work Podcast!

In this episode, we're sharing the timelines to expect when you're looking for a job, what to expect from a recruiter's perspective, and what to do if you feel like your job search is never ending. Some key takeaways from this episode include:There are a lot of factors that can influence how long a job search might take. Three to six months is pretty standard, but your industry, season of life, and companies you're applying to can all impact how long it takes.Summer months, holidays, and vacations can slow down the hiring process on the employer's side. September through mid-November is peak interview season to get roles filled before the holidays.This season of applying to jobs is a good time to reconnect with your network and build relationships with professionals in your industry.

It's impossible to avoid the prevalence of ChatGPT and Open AI programs in today's world, especially while it's relatively new and trendy. No matter how you feel about it, ChatGPT is a tool that - just like any other - has its pros, cons, and best practices. In this episode, we're talking about how our clients are using it for their cover letters and resumes, where it can get you into trouble, and how recruiters and HR teams are utilizing it.Some key takeaways from this episode include:ChatGPT can be a good way to get some ideas down on paper for your cover letter, resume, or interview questions to prep for so the process feels less daunting as you get started.Just like with individual opinions and perspectives you get from humans, you should carefully and strategically consider the advice or suggestions you get from ChatGPT based on what's important to you and your unique job search. Don't treat it as the end-all be-all.One great way to utilize ChatGPT is to ask it about various job titles in your industry related to your target role. You can use that list to search on LinkedIn or in local meetup groups for people to connect and network with.Welcome to the Shine at Work Podcast!

If you've been laid off, or you're worried about upcoming layoffs at your company, you are not alone. Being a part of layoffs can make us feel like we did something wrong or weren't performing well, but that's probably not the case at all. In this episode, Karen and Dan share their tips for bouncing back after being laid off, how to communicate it to potential employers, and what to look for in your next company to feel safe accepting an offer.Some key takeaways from this episode include:In most cases, getting laid off is not a reflection on you or your performance at work. It doesn't make it feel better, and it can still be hard not to take it personally, but it shouldn't impact your ability to get hired for your next role.If you've been impacted multiple times by layoffs at companies you've worked for, it can be helpful to recruiters and HR teams for you to indicate that on your resume or LinkedIn. Own your story instead of letting others write it for you.It's normal to feel a little traumatized after being laid off, and to want to find a “safe” company to work for next. Make sure you're asking potential employers about the financial health of the company, their growth trajectory, and why the role you're interviewing for is open to begin with.Welcome to the Shine at Work Podcast!

Documentarian Ben Berman joined me for a chat about his new two part series on ESPN's '30 for 30: The American Gladiators Documentary'. The 'American Gladiators' was a fringe sport that was shunned by the mainstream media and embraced by the American people. Former professional athletes turned gladiators would face off weekly against contenders trying to upstage the larger than life behemoths with names like Zap, Laser, Dallas, Nitro, Gemini, Thunder, Viper, Siren, Ice and Malibu. However, what we saw on TV was only the tip of the iceberg as behind the scenes, the 'American Gladiators' origin story was not the Hollywood fantasy that co-creator, Johnny Ferraro wanted everyone to believe. Ferraro was an Elvis impersonator hoping to the turn the 'American Gladiators' into a movie about the working man turned hero...or so he claimed. Berman takes us through a two part in depth dive of who the actual creators were, why Ferraro is so secretive about his associates and co-creator, "Apache" Dan Carr was not originally allowed to speak with Berman and ESPN regarding the 30 for 30 documentary. Follow Ben German on Instagram @horse_berman and Twitter @Horse_Berman. ESPN's '30 for 30: The American Gladiators Documentary' airs May 30 and 31, 2023, on ESPN and streaming on ESPN+. Synopsis: From 1989 to 1996, American Gladiators was one of the most popular syndicated programs in television, a competition show that predated the reality TV era but used many of the same techniques to attract viewers. Every week, “amateur” contestants would go up against a cast of “professional” gladiators in a range of physical competitions, setting up David versus Goliath matchups that were popular with big television audiences but also earned considerable criticism for being “crash TV”. The show's cast and crew look back on it all, with their memories complicated by regret over what it did to many of the gladiators' lives. And as the behind-the-scenes story of the series is told, from the beginning of the film, the central, most compelling character of the story is clear: Johnny Ferraro, the creator of American Gladiators, a former Elvis impersonator from Erie, PA who came to Hollywood with a dream of putting the show on screen and ended up with a singular success. “We're very excited to finally get this story out into the world, and you can trust that it'll take you to some weird places,” said Berman. “Come for the 90's nostalgia, but stay for the Elvis impersonators, the burps, the mental torment, the murder plots, aliens, and of course the undeniable atrocity of America's dark history. And sports. It's got some sports too.” The film features original interviews with Johnny Ferraro, Deron McBee (‘Malibu'), Michael Horton (‘Gemini'), Lynn ‘Red' Williams (‘Sabre'), the late William Billy Smith (‘Thunder') and Salina Bartunek (‘Elektra'). The documentary is executive produced by ESPN Films and VICE Studios and produced by Ben Berman, Kirk Johnson, Russell Wayne Groves, Danny Gabai and Andrew Freston. Advance press screeners, additional information, including film clips and director statements and bios, are available upon request.

This week's episode is a little different.  I wanted to share with you my thoughts on “quiet quitting” and “quiet firing”.  And more recently, “quiet promoting”.  Basically it comes down to assuming bad intent.  Employees are realizing they may need to create some boundaries  but companies are concerned they are disengaged and “quiet quitting”.  Or, an individual feels like more work and taking on more responsibilities but not getting a promotion, so therefore, they feel the company may be “quietly promoting” them.  On the flip side, people believe their company is sending negative signals about their role and their employment, and worry about “quiet firing”.  In my opinion, in all these situations, it all comes down to communication.  Here's a thought… Let's actually start talking to each other!!  In this episode I share my thoughts on these click-bait trends (and yes we know we used it in our own headlines this week).    So whether you are an employee, a manager or if you are in HR, I really encourage you to listen to this episode to recognize how we might be biased in what we are experiencing.  And if there is truth to the situation (you are disengaged, you are avoiding a tough conversation, you aren't recognizing your team) then we share some tips on how to identify that and start the real conversation that needs to happen.In this episode, you will specifically learn about…As a manager…How to have  hard conversations that you need to have with an employeeHow to improve communication to try  to calm uncertainties in your organizationHow to recognize an employee even if a promotion isn't available right nowAs an employee… How to set boundaries and talk to your manager about themHow to interpret  “negative” signals from your company? How to talk to your manager about your  career path (or apparent lack of it) How to identify if you are disengaged or just burned outHelpful resources…The Ladder of Inference - Mindtools.com Leadership and Self-Deception - Getting Out Of The Box - The Arbinger InstituteIs It Time To Find A New Job, Are You Just Having A Bad Day Or Hitting A Ceiling? - Shine At Work Podcast episode 69, season 3More about Karen…I'm Karen Weeks, the CEO & Chief Shine Officer (aka transformation coach) at KDW Coaching, the host of the Shine at Work podcast, award winning culture leader (currently leading the People team at Ordergroove), a speaker anWelcome to the Shine at Work Podcast!

In this week's episode, Dan and I talk about interviewing, whether it's an in-person interview, exploratory call or virtual coffee,  you want  to put your best foot forward.  We all know it's going to begin with someone asking you the typical questions: tell me about your background, why are you interested in a career pivot,  why did you leave or are leaving your current company, etc and it's important how you craft your story.  Spoiler alert, it's not about going through your resume bullet by bullet, they have the resume and have read it, that's why they are talking to you.

Ever since Oliver interviewed Karianne from Whee! earlier in the year, we've been excited to find more companies doing ebike subscription services to families. As Karianne says, there is a lot of money to be made by taking women and families seriously. So it was awesome to more recently discover the team at Lug and Carrie, based in Australia, who are as far as we can tell, the largest e cargobike consumer subscription business globally (notwithstanding Dance and Swapfiets etc in Europe that do commuter bikes). As you'll hear in this interview, Dan and Ben have absolutely nailed product market fit - e cargo bikes being absolutely perfect for subscription - and we've been super impressed with both them as a team but also their execution and positioning. It will be very exciting to see what this company goes on to do, especially with their forthcoming launch into larger markets. Specifically, they dig into: Dan and Ben's backgrounds and what led to the formation of Lug and Carrie How it's going - the model, vehicles, uptake etc What they have found fundraising/company building like What are their plans for the future Check out Lug and Carrie's website here. In the meantime if you haven't check out our latest effort, the Rider Choice Awards. It is our industries version of the Oscars, The Baftas, The Top Gear Speed Week and the Webby's all tied into one.

We have many of the top brands in the world currently battling it out for top spot in the bike, scooter, pod, subscription business, shared operator and more from around the world.

In this week's episode, Dan and I talk about how to actually understand  job descriptions as you do your job search.  There are job descriptions that are really good at describing what the job is going to entail, the team you will work with and the company's expectations, however, since there are no real guidelines on how to write them, or they have been recycled over the years and never updated, they can be lacking key information.  But that's no reason to discount the role or company!  Dan and I have written many job descriptions in our years of HR and recruiting, some good, some bad, and we share with you how to decipher the what the hiring manager is looking for, key elements in the description, what questions to ask, as well as, some helpful actionable tips and tricks to help you in your search!In this episode, you will specifically learn how to…How to find key elements in the “about the company” description How to look for key elements about the role How not to over analyze job descriptions How to find your “green and red flags” How to understand the titles/levels More about Karen and Dan…I'm Karen Weeks, the CEO & Chief Shine Officer (aka transformation coach) at KDW Coaching, the host of the Shine at Work podcast, award winning culture leader (currently leading the People team at Ordergroove), a speaker and published author.
