Attention Ohio employees!!! Your paycheck is about to get a little bit bigger!
We’re not only approaching a new year, but a brand-new decade. Depending on your circumstances, 2020 is absolutely the right time to look for a new job. Although you might be content with where you are right now, there are most likely greater opportunities elsewhere. Perhaps you have been in your current role for several years and feel comfortable, even with this in mind there might still be better options to build your career. Finding a new position can give you the opportunity to learn new skills, gain experience in different industries, and move your way up the ladder to becoming an HR leader.
We’re seeing an increasing frequency in which video interviews are serving as a sort of in-between the in-person interview and telephone screens. We’re seeing more and more HR professionals asking for these video interviews, even if you happen to be as close as across town as they save time yet allow you to get a better picture (literally) of a candidate on video interview versus the phone. We’re providing the basics in video interviewing tips, but if you’re a candidate with Willory, we’ll help you with one-on-one advice and practice sessions.
One of the most significant issues I’ve seen while working with top talent in HR and payroll is that many professionals don’t manage their careers effectively. My best advice when it comes to managing your career is to think of it as your own business. By shifting your approach, a new perspective of ownership emerges.
Whether you’re just out of college or a professional with decades of experience… are you confident you’re in a position that matches with your personality? Do the things that make someone successful in your chosen career align with who you are? Do you feel fulfilled and energized by your position? Are you looking to change your career path?
No matter the payroll or HR position you hold, chances are you’re not receiving a gold watch and a retirement party from your current employer. Even if you’re in a rock-solid, secure job, someday you’ll be faced with a decision to look for a new job. How do you know that “someday” isn’t today?
No matter what stage you are at in your HR or payroll career, there is one thing that we all should be doing: networking.
When we attend events or stay active online with people outside of our workplace, this helps our careers in ways we don’t even realize.
For some of us, it may seem easy and people refer to us as a social butterfly or someone who knows everyone. Others feel uncomfortable at networking events and avoid them at all costs. That’s nothing to be ashamed of because there are more in that situation than we think.
However, none of us want to miss out on an opportunity to advance in our careers because we don’t like going. Every professional has distinct skills. For this reason, networking can be so exciting because we feed off each other’s knowledge and experiences to push ourselves. Here’s some advice for effective networking and how to break out of your shell while successfully developing confidence, successful relationships, and a sense of satisfaction.
"Willory has methodically given me the tools to be successful since my first day. Because of this, I have never once felt overwhelmed or lost. If there is a topic or information that I don’t understand, my colleagues have taught me to pause, take a step back, and ask more questions to better understand the concept."
Welcome to our series about what makes Willory truly unique: our team. Without the people on the Willory team we would not be recognized as one of the top workplaces in Northeast Ohio and have grown so significantly in the last eight years.
