A mentor is a valuable thing. Having someone that wants to help you succeed in your career and can help coach you through it can make the difference between being stuck at entry level and climbing up the corporate ladder. When we look for a mentor, we often look for people who are leaders in the industry. You stalk the person on LinkedIn and hope to find a way into this leader’s life.

Jessica Miller-Merrell, blogging4jobs Although we know compensation is the number one reason people leave companies, pay isn’t the only factor in employee engagement. Pay meets the basic need, but what comes next? The truth is, there’s a science to motivation that really works and it’s backed by proven research and psychology. It might seem like motivating employees isn’t, or shouldn’t, be that complicated, but anyone who has ever attempted to motivate their team knows just how tough it can be.

In today’s technologically advanced world, it can seem almost impossible that any recruiter would have clients who are not on board with newer recruiting technology, such as video interviews. However, this can be the case with many older clients who seem to think that what has always worked, will still work.

I feel very fortunate that I learned about public speaking early in life. One of my first jobs was being a tour guide at an aquatic marine life theme park who has an Orcinus orca as their mascot. (I’ll let you guess which one!) While I didn’t realize it at the time, the experience was priceless. After attending a few events lately, I wanted to share a few observations about public speaking.

Exit interviews are a double-edged sword: Your company desperately wants information from departing employees about how to improve, but employees have little motivation to provide complete, honest reasons for their departure. You can promise up one side and down the other that you'll keep individual answers confidential, but the person is unlikely to believe that his former manager won't find out if he says, “I'm leaving because my manager is a jerk.

I’ve been to a few conferences lately that have mentioned “grit.” It’s the new term for perseverance. I totally get it and I’m a fan of perseverance. Some of these same events have conveyed that the opposite of perseverance is quitting and therefore, a bad thing. That I don’t agree with. I assume the implication is you shouldn’t quit even when things are really tough.

No one likes an overbearing manager. They’re too imposing at work, too obsessed with perfection and making sure nothing goes wrong, and you can tell they’re only in the job for themselves. Somehow, it’s possible for them to be watching your every move and tweaking your work while never being around when you need them. Overbearing managers are the worst kind , but even worse than that is that managers themselves often don’t know how imposing they’re being.

Like the title of this post says, I believe the role of a manager is to identify and hire their replacement. Think about it. If a manager takes their role seriously, then they are constantly searching for talent. They are encouraging employees to learn. They are sharing knowledge by coaching and mentoring. And they are supporting employee growth and development.
