Friends, this IS wild...like really. Issa jungle out there - full stop. But I want to speak to some feedback I've seen in the comments about resume and career coaches citing the resume as the main issue... Sometimes it IS the resume. If you don't know the hiring manager and you apply to a project manager job with an event planning resume, it's over - case closed. Because what I can tell you is there are 100 other candidates who applied with a project manager resume and who also learned the pain points the company is going through so...bottom line: job search will always be a competitive sport. But more importantly, please let's start saying the quiet part out loud: It's also the relationships and connections. I didn't get my jobs purely from my experience and skills...I can honestly say I just knew the right people at the right time who sponsored or advocated for me. Is that purely merit-based? Nope Has the job market always been that way? Yup Will it always be that way? More than likely. So any quality career coach or job search coach you are working with usually has a relationship building and network leveraging component to their strategy... I REPEAT: Most people likely never got their job purely based on merit. Familiarity, privilege, relationships, sponsorship, connections, affinity bias likely played a role. https://lnkd.in/g9QPaNzH

“Fast forward to 2024, Black professionals are ready to take back their power over their careers. LinkedIn research found that just over 40% of us feel that we’re underpaid, and despite the most competitive job market in recent years, Black professionals are thinking about changing jobs. In fact, in 2024, Black professionals are THE MOST LIKELY group to consider a job move (90%).” #equitymatters #culturematters #90percent #jobs #pivot

Small ways you can celebrate Juneteenth Day - - Take some time to learn the history of today. - Support Black-owned businesses. - Read books by Black authors. - Teach your children about the importance of today. I’m sure there’s lots more. I’m no expert and am on a learning journey myself, but I will strive to do my best to learn and love. #juneteenth #learnandgrow #educate
