    S4 EP5: "Matters of Experience"

    · Inspired Action for Imperfect Humans

    As a hiring manager, do you hire a potential employee if they don’t have the required experience? And as a potential employee, are you tailoring your resume to look like you have another 20 years of work left? In this Inspired Action For Imperfect Humans podcast episode, Hosts Kyle Kalloo and Christopher Lawrence discuss as a hiring manager why it’s important to be clear with the tasks, and as a potential employee, why it shouldn’t matter how much experience you have, and why it’s important to have a personal brand.

    “You need to tailor your resume in such a way that it looks like you have another 20 years left.”

    Summary:

    Calls to Action:

    Even before the remote workforce evolution, office culture was inherently fragile. After all, it’s made up of imperfect humans interacting with other imperfect humans. And while perfection isn’t the goal, we all secretly wish for a workplace where people find ways to bring out the best in each other. Unfortunately, that’s not always an intuitive skill. It takes guidance, practice, and then more guidance and practice... but with the right leadership, it’s definitely achievable.
