5:45 Except the company wouldn't pay you the same way they'd pay an external candidate that's why moving companies is often the best choice. I once moved to a lower position in a new company almost doubling my wage...imagine how insane I would look asking my current employer to double my wage....they'd rather spend all the time, resources and money finding a new candidate and possibly even taking a hit that in the long run would have be more expensive but that's the chance companies take to save a buck and most times it works sadly so they are incentivized to take the risk.
In the modern era of online tinder applicants for jobs, it’s cheaper to replace than promote from within. Too many replacements available. Boomers are outdated in their decades old “work hard and work your way up” nonsense, that’s not how the world works anymore.
Hate when these people talk about "outdated practices" when they are still doing the 1990s spam of buzzwords. Cultivate, Inspire, Culture, Unleash... come on. Enough is enough. Talk to people like they are real human beings, give them the pay real human beings need, allow them the insurance that is necessary for real human beings.
Companies move people into new roles all the time, they just don’t pay the same as a external candidate. So that new opportunity starts to feel like the company is taking advantage of you. This can also make an employee too needed to promote to management. In the end, an employee has more skills and less pay , few promotion opportunities inside the company, but outside begins to look better and better.
I'm looking for a job and it absolutely sucks. If you haven't already worked in the same role, they won't hire you. I feel like most people are pigeonholed into doing some small thing with an obscure job title. The lists of requirements are long and seem pointless. I'm sure you don't need me to know all of photoshop or Excel for this marketing role. Why not give people a chance at doing what they are interested in? Tbf, I just don't know how to proceed :(
its a volume game. Just apply EVERYWHERE regardless of requirements. I'm still in college and been doing that, you wouldn't believe some of the random interviews of gotten. Simultaneously, there are GROCERY STORES that refuse to hire me.
I'm in the same boat here. I actually have both worked in the same role, and have all these requirements, as I had 25 years of experience. And yet they hire someone who does not have all required. p.s. I'm also in Marketing and for the smaller companies you will need expert knowledge of Photoshop, advanced Excel and project management. You also might need to have additional languages. One of the hardest professions to be in.
@@HashSl1ng1ngSlasher 😂this happened to me. I wasn’t sure whether I should cry , angry or laugh. I got a bachelor degree n’ I wasn’t even qualified to stock shelves @ a grocery store 😂😢😅
Pet Peeves:) To anyone in control of this please, for the love of God, if there is a "Resume" upload button on a companies website for potential employees to submit get rid of it, if they also have to insert this information on the companies applications. For example, if I can upload my resume I should not have to fill out an application. Moreover, if I have to fill out an application completely there should not be a resume upload option. Just saying....
- Hiring managers often prioritize internal candidates and focus on the skills that matter the most. - Many job requirements are not predictive of success in the job and may be overly restrictive. - Removing degree requirements and focusing on the work that needs to be done can help companies find more diverse and qualified candidates. - Supporting internal talent can lead to more diverse, innovative, and effective project teams. - Lack of career advancement is a common reason for employees leaving their jobs.
I mean, you lost the whole thing in the first 15 seconds. "On one hand, there are a whole lot of job openings. And on the other, there are a lot of employers really struggling to fill them." THAT'S THE SAME HAND.
Do the internal job search first, if an external candidate learns that an internal candidate was hired, they are unlikely to ever apply to that company again. Why waste the time on an interview when they already have someone in mind.
Can we also let recruiters know that cold-calling people who are NOT actively looking for a job is intrusive and rude? I have NOT LOOKING on my LinkedIn, took my resume off Monster and Indeed, and haven't been looking for over a year. I still get 2-3 calls A DAY from recruiters, interrupting my work flow and wasting my time and theirs. And for jobs not even close to my career level. Email? Fine. I can read an email at my leisure and decide if it's worth my time, and just delete. Or, if I know someone who it might be a better fit for, I can forward that with a couple of clicks. But phone calls? No. Only follow up with a live phone call IF I actually respond to an email. If you call, I will definitely NOT pass on that information to another candidate, because it just shows you don't value my time at all. And emailing, texting, and calling, all at once? JUST STOP. It's outdated and just tells me that the recruiter is NOT using updated data or reasonable screening techniques, and that I never want to work with them to find a job in the future.
LOL. I figured you were an accountant based on your "problem" of too many job offers and clicked your profile and saw that was the case. You realize most people would love to have your problem though?
@@kensmith2796 people who are not looking for a job would love to be interrupted with cold calls three times a day? Or people actually looking would like them? Two different situations. When I was job searching, yes. I welcomed calls.
@@greendragonpublishing Yes, congrats on the achievement. I'm a middle aged career changer that went back to college for the bachelors and masters in accounting. Still need to sit for the exams though. Currently working for a Big 4 and finding it hard to find the time to study. I swapped from aviation to accounting because it's such a broad and in-demand field, so I don't mind being pestered by the recruiters. Hope to get the CPA one day though so that I can get better offers than associate or senior associate.
@@kensmith2796 Ken, that's fair. Accountants are always in high demand during recessions as businesses are willing to spend money to save tax money :P I also have a diverse career history within accounting, so get calls for all SORTS of jobs, from shipping clerk to CFO. I'm more qualified for the CFO than the shipping clerk, to be honest... but I still get the calls. And since my dad's in poor health, I can't NOT answer random calls, in case it's the hospital or something like that. Most of the recruiters calling say they have my information from online, and admit they haven't updated their database in over a year. Which ruins any faith I might have had in their due diligence.
I'd strongly disagree a successful financial advisor isn't a high GPA and works well in teams. Sales experience, desire to succeed, willingness to work long hours (nights and weekends) is the common denominator.
There is huge shortage of workers in every industry at the moment because of 2 things: COVID and underpopulation. We used to rely on skilled migrants to perform many of our jobs, but since COVID they all went back to their own countries. Now to top it off we have a population that is getting smaller rather than bigger so that just makes the shortage even worse.
