Searching for jobs is hard right now. Applying for jobs is often a black hole. There is a ton of competition. Companies are afraid to pull the trigger and often change what they are looking for. 

TLDR? Anyone that has been going through an extended job search is dealing with a lot. 

When picking between no feedback and negative feedback, just about everyone would say they prefer negative feedback.

Until they get it. Then all bets are off. Let’s face it - no one likes to hear where they screwed up. Or fell short. 

There’s an art to giving feedback. And taking it. 

Want to learn more about the latter? Great, we’ve got a video for you!

The Hirewell Hot Corner, Ep 25 "September Hiring Surge and Week 1 Football Evaluations"

In this week’s episode, Dan and Louie chat about the crazy first week of the NFL season. Both their teams, the Steelers and the Bears, lost in pretty bad fashion and we saw two major injuries of Aaron Rogers (NY Jets - torn Achilles) and JK Dobbins (BAL Ravens – torn Achilles) happen shortly into the first games of the season.

They segue to recruiting by referencing the phrase “September Surge” and how these football teams may need to re-evaluate their rosters and do some “hiring” so early on in the season. And then finish by explaining what they think this “September Surge: recruiting phrase means and how if you feel behind the 8-ball going into the 4th quarter, what can you do to right the ship and hit those 4th quarter targets?
