A Mission of Social Responsibility
At LLoyd, our leadership team has always believed that every corporation has a responsibility to its clients, employees and the marketplaces where it “lives.” Creating programs that embrace volunteerism and ethical responsibility build employee involvement that goes far beyond a daily job description. We believe that corporate leadership must develop and be proactive about nurturing good corporate citizenship.
Building Job Search Momentum
Like many of life’s endeavors, it takes a certain amount of momentum to really get going. As a college student, my least favorite part of any class was always the beginning. I didn’t have a firm grasp of what was expected and I wasn’t yet in the groove as far as assignments and studying. I always went through a bit of a learning curve to get a feel for expectations though once I had that knowledge, it was generally smooth sailing until the end of the semester.
Searching for a Job on Your Own Terms
Though there are a number of key components to a successful job search—networking, research, and hard work immediately come to mind—unfortunately none of them reduces the stress of finding a new position. There is no doubt about it: searching for a job can be stressful.
Screen IN, Not OUT
There’s an old parenting tip that advises catching a child doing something good, instead of bad. It’s based on the premise of using positive reinforcement to change behavior, versus ruling by fear and negativity. Hiring can be a little like that too.
