Good judgment comes from experience, and experience often comes from bad judgment. #CareerTip
While luck may influence job searches, the most fruitful efforts come from persistence and hard work. The "luckiest" individuals are often those who are most diligent. #CareerTip
I often tell professionals that real growth comes from introspection on failures—understanding what went wrong, why it happened, and how to prevent it in the future. #CareerTip
Creating a positive rapport with colleagues is essential. Being personable and showing genuine interest in others can play a significant role in career advancement. #CareerTip
It's important to remember that discriminatory questions are off-limits in interviews. Questions should focus solely on your ability to perform the job duties. #CareerTip
Using overly complex jargon can alienate interviewers. I advise candidates to communicate clearly and simply to ensure their ideas are understood. #CareerTip
I emphasize the PAR framework for behavioural interview questions: Identify the Problem, describe the Action you took, and detail the Result. It's a strategy that showcases your problem-solving skills effectively. #CareerTip
Seeing the bigger picture and understanding how your role fits within the larger organizational context can significantly enhance your career trajectory. #CareerTip
To stand out, it's crucial to let your achievements be known in a humble yet clear manner. Ensuring visibility without coming across as boastful is an art that benefits anyone. #CareerTip
Inappropriate social media content can significantly hinder your job prospects. Similarly, negative comments about previous employers can be detrimental. Always present yourself online as you would in a professional setting. #CareerTip
In interviews, it's your past achievements that illustrate your potential value to a new employer. You should be prepared to showcase your accomplishments in a way that resonates with what the employer is looking for. #CareerTip
I always encourage maintaining a passive job-seeking mindset. The most successful professionals I've worked with are those who are continually aware of new opportunities. #CareerTip
When negotiating a job offer, I encourage you to think about the entire package: salary, benefits, pension, vacation, memberships, parking, training, and other perks. Understanding the full value of an offer is fundamental. #CareerTip
Avoid burning bridges with people you’ve worked with in the past. You never know when your paths may cross in the future. #CareerTip
Having a network of past employers and colleagues is invaluable, but self-advocacy is key. I constantly remind job seekers that understanding and articulating their own value is critical. #CareerTip
Remember, if an employer sees potential in you, they'll request references at a later stage. #CareerTip
I want to emphasize the importance of being ready to openly discuss your reasons for leaving past jobs. This question is a staple in interviews, and your preparedness can set a positive tone. #CareerTip
Unless the employer brings up the topic, any discussion about salary is best left until much later in the hiring process. This approach shows your interest in the role beyond just the compensation. #CareerTip
Don’t arrive 30 minutes early for an interview. It leaves the interviewers with the impression you have nothing better to do. #CareerTip
Remember, a resume is a sales tool, not an autobiography. Put yourself in the shoes of the reader and write it from that lens. #CareerTip

@Gerald_Walsh Totally agree Gerry. So many get wrapped up in the salary and not the after tax benefits too.
When negotiating a job offer, I encourage you to think about the entire package: salary, benefits, pension, vacation, memberships, parking, training, and other perks. Understanding the full value of an offer is fundamental. #CareerTip
A bare wall is a better background than one that shows off your favourite painting or hobby. One obvious family picture, but a blank wall avoids distracting the interviewer.
For those doing Zoom interviews, proper lighting is crucial. Illuminate your face with natural light or a lamp and avoid backlighting from windows. It makes a significant difference in how professionally you're perceived. #CareerTip
Interesting day of media interviews today. Publications in NYC, Miami, London UK, Dubai and Milan! Mostly around the future of social media platforms.
@Gerald_Walsh This is really confirming Gerald & I appreciate it greatly. It's a massive change in mindset to lead the way I'm prescribing, so people first have to accept the premise, & then decide to change their #leadership practices. Because we're human, this all takes time. TYSVM!
@Gerald_Walsh @MarkCCrowley hmmmm, I’ll have to check this out.
Nice to be interviewed on CTV along with @Gerald_Walsh on the right to disconnect: atlantic.ctvnews.ca/more/right-to-…
@Gerald_Walsh A mentor can take your career to the top. I've had several, and I am truly grateful for them.
Not the race day I dreamed of, but the race day I was handed. High temps, blazing sun and cramping that landed me in med tent all delivered my slowest marathon result yet. Still damn proud because I was brave enough to swing for the rafters at @bostonmarathon and that’s METAL.
It’s nacho night at the cottage.
Love going out and talking to community groups. Spoke this morning in Sackville to the Probus Club about the state of the food industry and challenges ahead. Delightful time. I'm here with Marlene Berry, the Club's President. Raised money for food banks, which is needed!
When I was writing this book my only hope would be that it would connect with one kid so they would know they’re not alone. His name is Carson, he stood up and said “My Mom also has mental illness, and I worry about her” I got your back Carson, you’re not alone. ❤️📕🎒
I'll admit that this #SolarEclipse2024 hype is a bit much. But it's a welcome distraction from all the chaos in the world, especially on a Monday.
@Gerald_Walsh Absolutely, networking is key! It's all about who you know sometimes. Also, keeping your resume polished and practicing for interviews can make a big difference. I've been using Ribbon AI for that, helps a lot with job tracking and prep. Worth checking out!
Congrats to Missy Sonier who was awarded the Base Commander’s Commendation on Feb 22, 2024, for her outstanding performance in support of CFB Halifax!
And please try hard not to get fired. If you and your current employer are not a good fit, find another job and leave on good terms. Take control of your career.
Prepare your answer for why you were fired from your last job but keep it simple and to the point. Long, carefully rehearsed answers will make it seem like you are hiding something. #CareerTip
