John Tarnoff MA/MSP’s Post

Mac Pritchard is the founder of Mac’s List, a Pacific Northwest job board driven by a simple idea: the hiring process should be more human. Mac’s goal is to break down the barriers between employers and job seekers, so that everybody can win. Mac created Mac’s List in 2001. He wanted to keep in touch and share great work opportunities with his network. As you can imagine, I’m totally on board with Mac and his vision, especially as it is tougher for older job seekers and career reinventors to find their pathway forward in this volatile economy. In our conversation, we talk about the “Ikigai” of finding your dream job, and answering my favorite four questions to help people build confidence by focusing on their strengths and on practical, marketable value in the career marketplace. #business #careers #over50 #ageism #hiring #dreamjob #getajob #gethired #workingolder #workforce

Meet Blair Roughen, one of our hard-working recruiters. Let's learn more about her below. 🔸Years in the industry: 3 years 🔸What do you like most about working in staffing? My favorite part about staffing is the relationship-building aspect. So much of our job is about networking and making connections. Searching for a new job is also so time-consuming and can be exhausting so being able to help take some of that stress off of someone’s plate is very rewarding. 🔸What do you think are the best skills that you bring to your job? I feel like one of the best skills I bring to my job is my use of LinkedIn. 🔸What's the one thing about you few people know? I was a model as a baby! I was in ads for Lands End and Walmart haha! 🔸As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? Growing up I always wanted to be a teacher! 🔸What's at the top of your bucket list? Traveling to the coast of France and Italy! 🔸What are you happiest doing, when you’re not working? Spending time with my friends in the city, shopping and being out of the house! 🔸6 Degrees Group is all about connections between people. What’s your “6 degrees”? I know Susan Stow through my mom. She sent her my resume and then I started interviewing! I love how we all work to help other people in their job search but we are also an amazing team that lifts each other up. Everyone at 6 Degrees is always willing to lend a helping hand to a candidate or a colleague. #MeetTheTeam #recruiter

WORRIED ABOUT GAPS ON YOUR RESUME? I used to think the same. After my first layoff, I was initially worried about having a gap between the last and next role …however, I was quickly reminded that rather than staying in the job just to avoid these conversations with future employers, I realized that this was another way for me to tell my story. Gaps in resumes shouldn’t make you any less qualified than the next candidate. It all comes down to HOW you pitch your story to your potential employers. Employers typically enjoy listening to stories that give them a fuller picture of your profile AND will determine if it’s a fit for their team and organization or not. Because I’ve firsthand been in that exact position where I had to tell my stories to provide a clear picture of the gaps in my career …I didn’t shy away from telling the truth. The key isn’t what you say but HOW you say it. So the next time you are asked about the gaps in your careers, rather than being worried how this would impact work ethic, use this opportunity to pitch your story AND how you will be an added value to their overall business. Do you feel there is still a taboo about career gaps? What can we do to change that? 👇 --- ☞ Check out my new FREE 5-day Career Clarity Challenge.
