This week is “In Demand Jobs Week” with all kinds of workforce activities going on. What is an “in demand” job? That probably depends on where you are located. Regardless of the job, this week also merits reminding those who are looking for employment, as well as those hiring, that the employee is the one “in demand.”
No matter how a job is marketed, it comes down to is the employee the right fit. Recently while doing mock interviews at an area high school I was asked for what is the best advice I’d give to someone preparing to interview. It is as follows, be authentic, be yourself. The level of disengaged employees is over 70%, a number that should concern employers and job seekers. That level of disengagement is a clear statement in our focus on jobs rather than the people we need to fill them.
Job seekers, be yourself and you’ll land in an organizational culture that fits you. Employers, is your organizational culture one that fits the employees you are trying to attract?
