Mentoring your Staff Members
You can have everything in life that you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want. Zig Ziglar
His quote seems simple enough. When you analyze it, I am sure you will understand that it can be applied to just about every segment of every industry and to every level of management. As a supervisor you can improve the productivity in your department simply by understanding the needs of the people you supervise and by helping them satisfy those needs. This can be done through simple conversations, identifying their strengths and weaknesses, and mentoring them to improve. Ziglar also said when you do more than what you are paid for, you will soon be paid more for what you do. This certainly can apply to every person in the work force.
Over the past 31 years as a recruiter I have seen that the ones who progress upwards in their careers are the ones who mentor and help others attain their goals and objectives.
After over 36 years in executive search, I’ve encountered common questions about resume content. Do you need to include all jobs, even short-term ones, or how far back should you go? Remember, your resume is your choice. However, honesty is key – consider if you want to build a relationship on omissions or incorrect dates. Nowadays, explaining employment gaps is normal and can be done through activities like volunteering or caregiving. When addressing potential negatives, highlight your achievements and the value you bring. My direct line is 973-627-1888 if you want to discuss your career path.
