Podcasts about find a job

Your career isn't just about finding a job—it's about finding the right job.   This week's podcast episode with Gerry Gadoury we talk about just that. Here are my top 3 takeaways:   ✅ Alignment is Everything: When your personal values align with your company's mission, you're more likely to thrive and perform at your best. When they don't, friction sets in, leading to dissatisfaction and burnout.   ✅ Interviews Are a Two-Way Street: It's not just about the company evaluating you—you need to evaluate them too. Ask about company culture, leadership styles, and growth opportunities to ensure it's the right fit.   ✅ Ask the Right Questions: Don't wait until you're hired to find out if it's a good match. Questions like “Why do you enjoy working here?” or “What career growth opportunities exist within the company?” can reveal a lot.   Take control of your job search by being intentional about where you invest your time and energy.   Connect with Gerry: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gerrygadoury/ Connect with Steph: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephgillies/

In Australia, most job opportunities aren't openly advertised, so to find work, we must understand the Australian labour market and create our own opportunities. Tapping into the hidden job market and learning about migrant employment services can help break down the barriers to employment. - オーストラリアでは、ほとんどの求人情報は広く公表されません。ですから仕事みつけるには、オーストラリアの労働市場を理解し、自分自身で就職の機会を作らなければいけません。 隠れた求人市場を見つけ出すこと、そして、移民雇用サービスを活用することが、就職のバリアを取り除く助けとなるでしょう。

So it made sense that he would pause his medical education and obtain a traditional MBA degree. With those degrees under his belt, he attended a pediatric residency. He went one step further and worked for a venture capital firm during his first year of pediatric practice. Now he is the CEO of a start-up company and a part-time practicing pediatrician. The company he leads, Grapevyne, facilitates job searches for physicians while reducing the costs of recruitment to hospitals and medical groups. During our conversation today, Zhen describes what motivated him to attempt to balance 2 major careers so early in his career. Then we learn about his vision for Grapevyne, and what has been accomplished so far. He also provides details on the Grapevyne incentive program that encourages physicians to share job openings with each other by offering modest finders fees. And he shares his vision for growing the company while offering other valuable free and low-cost services to physicians, including referrals for nonclinical jobs.

15. Finding a job share partner is easier than you think. It's more like spotting a VW bug than finding a needle in a haystack—once you know what to look for. The first thing people ask me after discovering job sharing is often "How do I find a job share partner?" After all, there's a lot to consider. You're sharing your job, your income, and even, your personal lives. It seems elusive. How do you find the "perfect" partner and how do you ask them if they'd like to job share?  Today, we dispel the myth: I don't know anyone I can job share with. In episode 15, I break down who your partner needs to be and does not need to be and teach you my 5-step process for finding a job share partner. After job sharing for nearly a decade with four different partners, and helping professionals do the same for years, I can tell you that finding your partner and a few backups, even, is easier than you think. Links Mentioned:One more day!

If you listen to this podcast on a regular basis, you know that many of my topics come from clients – what they are struggling with, the questions they are asking me. Today's topic is one such example.  Two of the things I hear most frequently relative to networking is:  #1 – I don't know very many people #2 – I only know people in my job function/industry, and that's no help to me because I want to pivot As a reminder, here are my definitions: A career pivot is like a pivot in basketball – you keep one foot on the floor when you aren't dribbling the ball. A career pivot means you are either keeping a foot in your job function or your industry – and pivoting out of the other.  An example of pivoting out of your industry might be changing from a human resources director at a hospital to HR director at an automobile manufacturing plant.  A pivot out of your job function might be moving from IT at a tech company into a sales role at a different tech company.  A career reinvention means you are moving both feet – to a new career function AND a new industry. An example would be changing from a marketing executive at a CPG company to do Foundation work at a university.  So back to “I don't know anyone” and “I only know people in my job function/industry.” Here are my strategies:  You DO Know People…More Than You ThinkA good way to begin to grasp your true network is to jump on LinkedIn and a) review your existing connections for growth possibilities there, and b) connect with people you haven't yet connected with. Keep in mind that you don't have to already know these people – your invitation to connect is you saying that you WANT to get to know them.  To review your existing connections, use the Advanced Search function. Rather than giving the steps here, which will likely change in the not-too-distant future, reach out to me if you don't know how to use this resource.  One you've opened the filters, select “2nd connections” and put in the name of your connection you want to review. This will open up all of this connection's connections, which you can then mine for possibilities.  I recommend a message something like this: “I see we're both connected to Jim Smith, one of my former colleagues. Let's connect!”  This previous method works from who you are already connected with. Let's say you also want to connect strategically with people who work in a certain company, hold a certain job title, or have worked there or held that title. The Advanced Search function comes into play here, as well.  If you want to find the Director of Operations for ABC Company, used the Advanced Search function with the filters of Current Company and Job Title.  You message for this situation might be: “I see we both used to work at XYZ company – let's connect!” OR “I am impressed by the level of engagement you have on LI – let's connect!”  If you are going to use the approach of commenting on some aspect of their profile, you MUST customize this so they know you've actually looked at their profile. Nothing as generic as “Great profile – let's connect!”  Notice that with all of these messages, I am not revealing my true intentions. Any sales person will tell you that someone has to know, like, and trust you to buy from you – and the people you are connecting with don't know you and therefore can't like or trust you yet.  Come up with a 3-to-4 step approach with these connections, starting with your invitation to connect. Then perhaps your next communication, which should be once they accept your invitation, is to ask them a soft-pitch questions they are uniquely qualified to answer, such as “I see you've worked at ABC for three years now. I have some friends who have worked there and they had a great experience – they particularly commented on the company's strong executive leadership. What has your experience been?” Now note that this person isn't likely to say anything negative about their current employer – that would be career suicide. But that's not the point – the point is to get them engaged with you.  If you get a response, then your next question could either be another soft pitch, such as “What is the biggest thing you are focused on right now at work?” or a more direct “I am interested in getting my foot in the door with your marketing department. Can you recommend someone I should reach out to?” You could also try something like this: “I am conducting a job search focused on pivoting from HR to marketing, staying within healthcare. Is there any piece of advice you could give me for making this pivot?” Now that I've given you the messaging strategy, WHO specifically should you be reaching out to for a career pivot or reinvention? That depends entirely on your new career goal.  I DON'T recommend using LI as a fishing expedition for what your next career step should be – that's what career coaches and mentors are for. Rather, you are leveraging LI to help put you in contact with people who work in your new chosen job function and/or industry.  Going back to the Advanced Search function, you might put in a certain job title, say Vice President of Sales, and an industry, such as Tech. You'll want to play around with your search parameters to get a manageable number of results back (I consider this to be about 200).  So far, everything I've talked about is using LI. Let's talk a bit about in-person networking. This is really the same as if you were networking for a job in your same job function and industry; here's a refresher: #1 – First be interested, then interesting (let them do most of the talking) #2 – Make it a goal to give at least as much value as you get #3 – You are asking for leads, ideas, and referrals – not, in most cases, a job #4 – Vague requests lead to vague results. Be specific and succinct #5 – Follow up and follow through  Finally – and this is very important – stop telling yourself that you don't know anyone in your new job function or industry. Science has proven that our brains take what we tell them and then scan our environments to find evidence. If we are telling our brains that we don't anyone, that's what our brains will see. It's called confirmation bias.  Instead, try a more useful thought, such as “I am making new connections every day” or “I am meeting people in my new job function/industry.” There is no room that people with strong networks go into, where the “at capacity” lights come on and no one else can go in. You can go in that room at any time – just get to networking!   Are you in the wrong job that chips away at you every day? The document and coaching programs offered by Exclusive Career Coaching will help you find a job that uses your zone of genius, recognizes your value, and pays you what you're worth.  If you're ready to take your job search to the next level by working with a highly experienced professional with a track record of client success, schedule a complimentary consult to learn more:  https://calendly.com/lesaedwards/zoom-meetings2

Dr. Gaspere C. (Gus) Geraci joins us in this episode as we embark on an exciting journey to unravel the mysteries of finding the perfect job for healthcare practitioners. Whether you're a recent medical school graduate, undergoing fellowship, or a seasoned practitioner looking for a change, or anywhere in between, this episode is your comprehensive guide to navigating the intricate highways of physician employment. Dr. Gaspere Geraci received his undergraduate degree in Psychology before studying at the State University of New York at Buffalo to receive his M.D. Since 1980, Dr. Geraci has been a part of the healthcare system and gained experience and knowledge in multiple aspects of the industry. His specialty began in family medicine and then expanded to overall management as he started taking on administrative rolls. After moving from director and vice president positions, Dr. Geraci started a solo family practice. He became a expert using Electronic Medical Records (EMR) and technology. His practice was recognized as a clinical leader in the care of diabetics and patients with coronary artery disease. While his practice was still running, Dr. Geraci signed on as a consulting medical director for the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare. In a bid to give a voice and a platform for Physicians, Nurse Practitioners, and Physician Assistants (collectively Health Care Prescribers (HCP's)) to express their opinions on their workplaces, Dr. Geraci started a website called Rate Your Healthcare Employer (RYHE.org), a website that operates like Yelp for physicians. This website allows health care practitioners to anonymously review their employers on key metrics important to them, and allows their colleagues and the general public to view the reviews. Click here to find more about Dr. Geraci. In this episode, we discuss concerns you might have about finding a job and we answer questions like: What are the obstacles faced by physicians when trying to find a job? What are the important things to consider when choosing your job location? What steps do I need to take when searching for a job?
