In this episode, Neha shared many recruiting tips and suggestions to help you find your next great job.  Some points we discussed include:

·         First impressions matter in your resume, LinkedIn home page, interviews, and as you network.

·         Mistakes people make as they search for jobs include dressing inappropriately, being late (or much too early), and not being their true self.

·         Some hot markets right now include AI, sales, medical tech, and clean tech.

·         Best advice to someone who has been laid off:  things happen for you, not to you; don’t take the layoff personally; figure out what your next job is going to look like; and journal during your transition to help you know where you have been and where you are going.

·         Key skills looked for in a candidate: communication skills, ownership/accountability of issues, meeting deadlines, and culture fit.

·         Three things to keep in mind during your job search:  have an abundance mindset, be prepared, and have fun in the process.

What a great discussion we had.  We talked on so many other topics than I listed here.   I know you will get as much out of this discussion as I did.   Enjoy!

Bob Gerst Mr. Transition Expert

I have had a terrific work life; I started as an auditor and then joined a property management company. I was the first professional HR executive with them. I had the opportunity to create and mature a sophisticated HR service delivery model. Then, I joined Jones Lang LaSalle, a global R/E firm. I was asked to move to Singapore to head up the Asia Pacific Region and helped build an HR team again. I then moved to Las Vegas, first with The Venetian and then with Boyd Gaming. I am now President of my own Company, HR Transitions, and the VP of HR at John I. Haas. I also have taught undergraduate and graduate level programs, including courses at Benedictine University, Heritage University, and the College of Southern Nevada.
