Oh LinkedIn...how I loathe you. Well...maybe. My first interactions with LinkedIn were the same as most, scrolling through celebration after celebration of new jobs, promotions, moving, etc. and as an 18-year-old who had no idea what to do with her life, it SUCKED. After some time, lessons learned, and niches discovered, I've seen LinkedIn in a new light, and I want to share that with you. We'll go over my story (short, sweet, and to the point as always), and I'll teach you a couple of ways to make LinkedIn a resource in your job search, not just another social media platform to scroll when bo ..read more

Yes - stereotypes and biases are real. No, they don’t appear out of mid-air. I encourage you whether as a Gen Z or as a millennial, Gen X, Boomer, etc., to remove those judgments and  “flip the script.” Instead of looking at items as “challenges” or “problems,” look at them as “opportunities” or “areas to improve on.” Instead of “making assumptions,” put yourself in someone else’s shoes to see where they’re coming from. Let’s tackle the Gen Z workforce in four quick myths vs. facts. -- LINKS Find Emily: IG: ⁠@think.hr⁠ Website: ⁠https://www.thinkhr.ca ..read more

Before you start your first day (or even if you are a few months into a new role), I want to advise you on the best habits to create and sustain throughout this experience.

LITERALLY the worst part of applying to jobs...getting through the job description, being all hyped up, just to get to the end where they ask for a cover letter. HELL to the NO.
