Happy Friday everyone! As a passionate Talent Acquisition Advisor, I connect with diverse and exceptional candidates daily, leveraging my expertise to match top talent with exciting opportunities. Join me every Friday as I share invaluable tips and tricks for interviewees to ace that dream job and provide insights for hiring managers to build stronger teams. Here is the very first FEEDBACK FRIDAY post! 🚀 How to explain a separation of employment from your current and/or previous employer? 🤔 1. If you've been laid off by your previous employer: Do not answer this way: ❌ "I was laid off because my previous company had financial issues, and they decided to downsize. It was really unfair, and I wasn't given much notice. The whole situation was a mess, and I'm still bitter about it." Instead, answer it this way: ✔ Unfortunately, due to restructuring at my previous company, I was part of a workforce reduction. While it was a challenging experience, it provided me with an opportunity to reflect on my skills and career goals. 2. If you've decided to become a stay-at-home-parent: Do not answer this way: ❌ "I quit my job because I wanted to be a stay-at-home parent. My kids needed more of my time, and I just felt like my career wasn't as important as being there for them. Plus, working from home is more flexible, and I can manage my household better this way." Instead, answer it this way: ✔ "I took a break from my career to focus on family responsibilities. During this time, I remained engaged in [mention any relevant activities like freelance work, professional development, or volunteer work] to stay updated on industry trends and maintain my skills. 3. Salary concerns Do not answer this way: ❌ "I left my last job because they weren't paying me enough. I felt undervalued and underpaid, and I knew I could find something better elsewhere. Money is crucial, and I needed a substantial raise." Instead, answer it this way: ✔ "I decided to explore new opportunities as I was seeking a role that aligned more closely with my career goals and provided room for professional development. While compensation is a factor, my primary motivation was to find a position where I could contribute significantly, grow in my role, and be part of a dynamic team. 4. A lengthy commute Do not answer this way: ❌ "I left my last job because the commute was unbearable. Spending hours in traffic every day was just too much, and I needed a job closer to home. It was exhausting, and I couldn't take it anymore." Instead, answer it this way: ✔ "I sought new opportunities to align my skills and career aspirations, prioritizing professional growth. Although a more convenient commute is a perk, my main focus is on contributing effectively to a new team and organization." __ Ready for an exciting career in property management?

It's Tuesday, and it's... free #Giveaway time focusing on Private Equity today! After the LBO model, the Private Equity guide is here. Every week, I talk with many of you who are in the midst of the Private Equity recruitment process. So, I've compiled all the questions I've encountered in interviews (Blackstone, PAI Partners, Partners Group, Blackrock, IK Partners, KKR, Silverlake...). Sometimes, people think that interviews in Private Equity are easier, but don't be mistaken. Logic, strategy, and critical thinking are tested. Sometimes, we don't have access to all the necessary resources to be prepared in Private Equity, so I thought it was time to share this with you. To get your guide with the most frequently asked interview questions: 👉 Leave your email address in the comments 📧 👉 A little like to encourage 👉 Subscribe to my page and EDGE Skills for more relevant content I will send you the guide next Tuesday, November 21.

It’s back to the future for wirehouse recruiting… It’s the first time since 2017 that all four firms are back into the business of recruiting top advisors. And all four major wirehouses have rolled out enhancements to their recruiting deals. So what does this mean for advisors—especially those in the wirehouses? Those who feel their current firm isn’t serving them best, but still favor the model, it’s become a more favorable environment to consider change. Does this mean it’s the end of the breakaway movement? No more than the early death knell that was predicted to the wirehouses. Get the details in this piece from Jeff Berman for Wealth Solutions Report at the link below. Then drop a comment and let me know if you agree below. ⬇️
Wirehouses Continue To Face Competitive Market For Top Advisor Talent

It was a pleasure working with Danielle Durko 🇺🇸. From our first call, Danielle's drive and experience were undeniable – it was clear she was destined to be a recruitment business owner . Her story will likely resonate with many experienced and successful recruiters in my network, especially those who are parents seeking a better work-life balance and a bigger financial slice of the pie. For Danielle, starting her own business ticked all the boxes: financial freedom, career development, and most importantly, greater control over her time. This has led to a happier and more fulfilling work-life where she can help candidates and clients according to her values and a model she truly believes in. Here's what Danielle gained from taking the leap: 🔥 Freedom from the limitations of a traditional agency: After 18+ years, she craved a change and the ability to shape her own path. 💗 Flexibility: Now, she has more control over her schedule, allowing for a better work-life balance. 🏡 Increased happiness and fulfillment: Building her own business on her terms has brought Danielle greater satisfaction in her work. ✅ The hustle is real, but it's different now. She owns her work, pours her passion into a purpose she believes in, and builds a future for her and her family. I am very excited for Danielle Durko founder of Beckton Staffing Solutions. #entrepreneur #recruitment #worklifebalance #momboss #Mumsinbusiness #careerdevelopment

Avoiding a catastrophic mishire relies on positive *and* negative data about a candidate. Why should you learn about a candidate's weaknesses and mistakes? 99% of our trainees know only *half* of the correct answer. The most common answer we hear: it's so that you can learn about the candidate's self-awareness, what they've learned, how they've improved, and their ego (willingness to own the mistake). This is the "fancy" answer and it's only half of the picture. The other reason is more basic but no one sees it. And there is a deep reason why they don't. The "basic" reason? You should not hire a candidate who has a demonstrated history of weakness in the areas where this role demands strength! If you need someone extremely detail-oriented, don't hire someone who is bad with details. Yes, it is really that obvious. So why do almost none of our trainees guess this? I believe there are three root causes: 1. Discomfort: Many interviewers are uncomfortable asking about a candidate's weaknesses. They are much more inclined to hear about the "happy" side of the story and want to immediately ask about how the candidate fixed the story. 2. Optimism: Many of us want to believe that everyone can be great at anything/everything or that at the very least someone can significantly improve or address any given weakness. They don't view past examples of mistakes as important because they believe the person can (and will) do it better in the future. 3. Giving up: Many of us have been "conditioned" via horrible interviewing our whole lives where the candidate just gives canned mini-monologues with fake/shallow weaknesses and never reveals anything substantive on the negative side. As a result, interviewers have either given up on attempting to get that type of data. If that describes you, consider this your wake-up call. A *huge* part of avoiding bad hires is negative information, and you need to get it. And you CAN get it, in a way that the candidate will actually enjoy.
