Waiting for motivation never works, researchers found it shows up after you start, not before. Here’s the trigger that actually works:

A hiring manager rejected a candidate because they don't have experience in a specific tool.
But the candidate has handled the same business problem using a different tool for five years.
What is important? Hiring someone who knows a particular tool/software or someone who solves a problem.
I recruit, so I can only go with what is expected from me.
But I do suggest to such hiring managers to be a flexible in their wants.
This distinction can dramatically change the talent pool.

LinkedIn job recommendations and alerts: "Based on your profile, you might like this role as Junior Forklift Operator in San Diego."
Linkedln knows my birthday, my work anniversary, and every post I've liked since 2012. But it still thinks I'm one forklift away from my dream job.
Every single night, I pray that my chips are sitting right.
Oh, yeah, my corset is so tight. I am in control. I feel like Nicole.

We fill every moment of our days with words. Often, we don't even consider how powerful the words we wield are. It's time to be more intentional. Practice TKN !! - sbrownehr.com/practice-tkn/ #HR #HRCommunity #Culture #Workplace

My everyday work conversations involve speaking to atleast a dozen odd candidates at the least, each day, every day.
This is when I have a team of 40 odd recruiters at work.
I generally talk to candidates who are either applying for critical roles or at the last stages of hiring.
And what glaringly stands out is this:
i) Candidates with decent experience struggle to explain the work they have done, the process they follow, the reasons why they make certain decisions.
ii) And this is not limited to a tech or non tech role.
It's also got nothing to do with years of experience.
iii) It has absolutely nothing to do with how flamboyant your English is.
Many of them struggle to explain why they have made certain decisions at work, or the problems they have solved, explain the work they have done in a manner I can understand..
Years of experience do not automatically translate into depth of experience.
The market is not short of candidates who want jobs, the market is short of candidates who are grounded, well articulated and ready for the work.

The root issue is control. Unhappy partners try to control each other’s language, topics, and gestures.
Happy couples do the opposite: they focus entirely on controlling themselves, slowing down their speech, and taking breaks to calm down.

When unhappy couples fight, they let one small issue bleed into every other problem.
A simple argument about holiday plans quickly turns into complaints about laundry, chores, money, and past mistakes. Psychologists call this kitchen-sinking.
