Three years ago, the economy was doing well with no signs of slowing down. There was no indication that an economic downturn was imminent. At least, not at first glance. With the benefit of hindsight, the data on the job market exposed some gaps.

Challenges lurked beneath the surface, partially obscured by a booming economy. The population and the labor force were both aging. Job seekers in high-skills occupations faced increased pressure. Those with lower-demand skills either struggled for fewer jobs or chose not to participate at all.

These pressures contributed to decreasing labor force participation rates. Experts predicted a low of 61.2% by 2028, a continuation of the steep decline over the last 20 years. Despite this pattern, the general public was unconcerned.

ZipRecruiter chief economist Cathy Barrer captured the sentiment of the time when she told PBS NewsHour, “It seems easier to find a job once you’ve decided that is an option that is on the table.” Then came the coronavirus. The environment changed drastically and suddenly. Those seemingly small weaknesses in an otherwise robust economy became serious fault lines. ‘

The lowest skilled and least educated workers felt the impact most strongly. The solutions likely to help these workers, upskilling and training, are more difficult to deliver than ever before. As long as the pandemic persists, recovery will remain uncertain. So what is the key to overcoming this?

Education. Over the next hour, I’ll attempt to explore education in the following three ways: As a way to inform you of labor market trends; To identify the employment opportunities in the volatile job market and prepare you for the next job opportunity by predicting the future.

Attend this presentation and these will be the takeaways

Regardless of the strength of the job market, pandemic, or any

other external factors, the key to successful job attainment is to

first understand your authentic self.

The coronavirus pandemic accelerated already existing

employment trends; this was bound to happen

But we are fortunate to know where the growths and declines in

industry will take place AND the top jobs by level of education;

occupations in healthcare, Business, IT, and Social Services are

currently and will be in demand even after the pandemic subsides.

Education is the key to job attainment, whether through a full

degree program, micro-credential, or professional development

certificate.

You don’t have to look too far for help with the next step of your

education, regardless of the level: I’m here to help.

Times of transition hold both challenges and opportunities. What are you really committed to in this moment?

Tony Robbins once said, “Quality questions create a quality life.”

Is your behavior consistent with what you are committed to?
Are you present and engaged in your own life?
Are you satisfied with your choices?
Would you like to make better choices in the future?
Our life is made up of decisions. When we ask the right questions it heightens our awareness and allows us to see more clearly. The strategies and philosophies that will be presented in this workshop provide attendees with tools that self-empower. The workshop is designed to help you achieve your personal best both professionally and personally. It’s a point of view that is based on choice. Self-empowerment feeds our unconscious mind to make conscious choices that allow us to be successful.

Company needs change. The business environment changes. The market goes up and down, people leave and get hired. But one thing that doesn’t change much – amidst all the swirling change occurring around it – is the job interview.

That crucial hour or so is your opportunity to showcase yourself and make a compelling case why you’re the best fit for the job. While the job interview is the one piece of the process you have the most control over, all too often candidates wreck their chances with poor showings. This lively and engaging session will cover the three essential P’s: Prepare, Practice, and Perform.

How well you execute the three P’s will have a profound impact on your interviewing success. We’ll cover the questions you’re most likely to be asked and how to develop great answers that hit the mark. We’ll also discuss how to deal with nerves, communicate your personal brand, and make a good impression during those pivotal opening minutes. Plus, we’ll make time to practice so you can be at your best when it counts!

By attending this engaging, thought-provoking and motivational session, you will learn:

Common mistakes committed by interviewees and how to avoid them
The best way to prepare for those tough interview questions
How to deal with nerves and present your best self
What your personal brand is and how to best convey it
Effective ways to practice so you can ace the interview!

The Ramsey Job Search Work Team meets every Monday morning. Networking starts from 9 to 9:30am and the meeting starts at 9:30 to 10:30 while virtual. Members are expected to hold each other accountable at weekly (virtual) meetings for conducting a job search in earnest. Historically, the team has enjoyed a very high rate of “landings” by those conducting an active and vigorous job search.

Based on the Lee-Hecht-Harrison model, it’s more of a project management team made up of people committed to helping each other in the job search. By attending regularly and staying focused on key tasks, meetings serve as an advisory panel that knows you and your search and can offer answers to the questions that come up in job hunting.

Help others to help you (especially for the first few meetings) by having a prepared “elevator pitch” to introduce yourself. Jobs open up because there’s a problem to solve or a need to fill.
