SEEKING STABILITY?


Hello to my faithful Blog Readers! I haven't written in a while because I've been "Really Busy"! The reorganization of the Volvo Group is progressing as planned and slowly but surely we are starting to ramp up on our hiring.   By maintaining a strengthened focus on our core business we have excelled this 2nd Quarter.


I talk with many applicants in a given week and I'm finding there is a commonality discussed in the interview, the phrase is "I'M SEEKING STABILITY" "I WANT TO WORK FOR A STABLE ORGANIZATION".  
As I interview and talk with candidates, I'm hearing all kinds of stories of no merits, burn out, no promotions; too companies moving to less desirable weather climates, office consolidations and the list goes on.  One thing I have found to be true as well as others is, the Volvo Group tenure is long, passion is strong and stability is common song amongst those that work here.

We are extremely proud of our 2nd Quarter Earnings.  This is a sign of STABILITY AND GROWTH.  Take a look at our 2nd Quarter Earnings and tell me if you like what you see.

Also we are ON THE MOVE in terms of innovation.  We are in a time where having "SMART" objects is a necessity.  The Volvo Group has created something called Volvo’s Human in the Loop (HITL) simulators connect a real-life operator to a simulated machine, filling the gap between maths and actual prototypes.

HOW TO TRANSITION INTO A NEW CAREER





I was at a local mixer here in Greensboro talking with a former Business Owner who made a move here looking to transition his knowledge, skills and ability into a stable sales executive role. He has over 30 years experience and really believed that it wouldn't be a problem for him to find a job. He has experience developing a successful firm, managing people, selling products and services; this should be a piece of cake right?

Well it's been over a year now and he has not been successful. Over the past year he has sold for a couple of small organizations whose processes and practices have a lot to be desired, not to mention their commission plans.

So after speaking with him and a dozen others who are faced with the same challenges;including myself - how do you transition your skills.

Well, most people are taking this time to pursue careers that they are passionate about oppose to going after positions for the money. Here are a few tips that can help you:

1. Join local associations and organizations in the industry you are pursuing
2. Go to your local college and take a Career Assessment
3. Join your local meetup or start a local meetup in your area of interest
4. Go to your local JobLink/ or Job retraining center that works with the ESC to
test your skills and get Career Ready Certified (this will evaluate your math,
english and ability to resolve problems)
5. Go back to school to get your degree, learn how to start a business

These are just a few options for you to consider. As I learn you will also.

The Truth About Hiring - Industries Still Doing Well





Welcome Back!

As most of you may know by now the "Truth about Hiring" right now is that quite a few companies are not hiring right now. Whether the company financials last year were positive or negative, the sense of economic terror is still in the air. I wanted to share with you some truths about industries that are not only hiring but doing well.


Despite our country's current economy there are still some companies and organizations that had a great Q4 and are hiring in Q1.

When crisis comes what do people do? 1) the worry, 2) the start to panic, 3) then they get desperate and 4) make life changing decisions. Well there are tons of folks out there that know this and are counting on it.

Industries that are doing well are:

Food Industry
Studies have shown that during hard times, people tend to worry about how their families are going to eat, so they by their food in bulk.

Retail - Fashion
You know the old saying, "presentation is everything". When you are feeling down or bad about oneself you fix yourself up and you'll feel better. Cosmetics, beauty salons, local beauty supply stores, barber shops are making a killing.

Retail - Gaming and Movies
Parents are trying to find inexpensive ways to stay at home, save money and keep their kids entertain. In addition to the new family Wii craze, Redbox is doing well with their $1 DVD rentals

Higher Education - Universities and Accelerated trade schools
Many people that are being laid off have been in their jobs or profession for years, I've hear the statement, "This is all I know how to do" more than once. For those who didn't graduate college, their going back, or for those who don't have certifications they are going after these things to help them become more marketable. Look to the local university, community college or trade school in your area.

Healthcare - Biomedical, Pharmaceutical, Research
Even though technology industries are treading water as the economy debris clears, if you have a technical position do some research on the leading industries. Companies like Pfizer, Glaxo they are still hiring.


For open job postings I'm working on look at: http://esrllc.blogspot.com

These are just a few industries that are hiring! For more information on Industries doing well look at the related articles below:
