2022 Job search trends and how to stand out in the crowd

lundi 11 avril 2022 • Durée 53:04

COVID-19 has impacted so much, and the job market is no exception. From new opportunities in remote work to changes in the recruiting process, there are many things that are unlikely to return to pre-pandemic times. For example, studies show that 17% of companies have already integrated AI-based technology into their HR practices and another 30% plan to do so in 2022. These HR departments are using digital technology to handle everything from screening applicants to conducting virtual interviews. In this episode, we speak to Lisa McAteer, a recruiter with over a decade of experience, and currently the Manager of Employee Engagement with Impact Recruitment. We discuss the trends she’s seeing in recruitment, and how job seekers can adapt and prepare.

Self-employment and starting your own business in Vancouver

mercredi 16 février 2022 • Durée 49:38

Many people dream about being their own boss, opening up their own business and being self-employed. A recent survey actually found that 30% of “traditionally employed” Canadians expect to transition to self-employment in the next two years. But where do you start? There’s so much to know about starting your own business and making it successful. What many people don’t know is that if you are unemployed or underemployed, there are various programs and resources you can access in BC - self-employment support is one of them. In this episode, we chat with Lynne Brisdon (Manager, Self Employment Program at YMCA of Greater Vancouver), Mike Plumb (Owner at Dusk N Dawn Adventure Co and WorkBC Centre alumni) and Andrea Welling (Regional Director BC at Futurpreneur Canada) about self employment and entrepreneurship in Vancouver, and where you can go to get help getting your business off the ground.

How to use training to upgrade or change your career

mercredi 19 janvier 2022 • Durée 38:47

You might have heard that COVID-19 has led to what some are referring to as the “great resignation”. Tens of thousands of people have resigned from their jobs, but this doesn’t mean they’re removing themselves from the workforce - many are taking this time to re-evaluate their work and careers. This is where training comes in. A change in career or an opportunity for career advancement often requires additional training. But what does this actually mean, and where can you go to get the training that best meets your needs? In this episode, we talk to Torfeh Jahan and Sheri Brown from WorkBC about training and what supports are available in Metro Vancouver.
