Happy Job Hunting
With all that ACTION in the last few weeks in the Princeton Labour Market and Job Opportunities at an all-time high … the foot traffic in our centre is QUIET, that’s for sure. It’s a smattering of job seekers in comparison to job postings.
Furthermore it’s a sweltering 35+plus degrees out and most people are job searching on a beach! What we call networking some call… well you get the picture! If you want to be working you could be!
While you are out in the sun, you will find us BUSTIN a Move behind the scenes… Its R-F-P (Request For Proposal) season in Employment Services, and that landscape is ripe with Skills Centre business for the next few months. In addition we are putting together the fall calendar, and talking to Industry about their training needs so we can produce some excellent training for our local Work Force.
So let’s say that your Employer is doing all they can to retain, train, and promote a positive work culture and in turn increase your Job Satisfaction. They may have spruced up the lunch room, increased wages, included BONUSES, paid for training, surprised you with a gift card, increased family benefits, perhaps offered a 2- day trip or a dinner. This is a way to show their appreciation; for a multitude of things but in particular: Attitude, Production, Presenteeism, Safety Record, Long Service, Loyalty or Performance.
Your Employer is invested in spending time building a positive relationship with you. Now what are you doing to be sure your taking good care of your number one customer? (Management/Boss) HINT, it’s more than showing up, it is a million little things that prove your worth, that say hey… “You’ll miss me if I’m gone”. As Denise Bisonnette writes in her book “30 Ways To Shine As A New Employee”, “The desire to achieve success on the job is not a matter of luck or fate; rather, it largely depends on everyday choices you make and behaviours you exhibit”. Consider our pick for the top five most desired Employee Behaviours:
It’s a two way street, it’s a partnership, it’s an important relationship. Employer and Employees alike have their own set of responsibilities to the relationship. Are you doing your part?
