Ep 201 - Recruiting Candidates With Criminal Histories, a Personal Story - Workology

Ep 201 - Recruiting Candidates With Criminal Histories, a Personal Story - Workology Advice for Job Candidates with Criminal Records At a time when the unemployment rate is 3.8 percent, SHRM data says that more than 7.8 million jobs will need to be filled by 2020. As HR leaders, we’re always looking for talent pools to tap for new candidates. This includes campaigns to specifically recruit diverse candidates, persons with disabilities, and other marginalized groups. One often overlooked group: people who have a criminal history. With nearly 700,000 people being released from jail and prison every year, employers must be open to hiring the formerly incarcerated. This podcast is sponsored by ClearCompany. Ep 201: Recruiting Candidates With Criminal Histories, a Personal Story (@shelly_winner) Technology specialist and Restorative Justice Activist, Shelley Winner wants to educate the public about the benefits of hiring the formerly incarcerated. Shelley was incarcerated herself and shares her personal story of what led to her incarceration, the personal work she did in prison and some of the challenges she and others face after being released when it comes to finding employment. You might not hear it in this podcast episode, but Shelleys story got me emotional and tears were shed by me during this interview with her. The reason she is speaking out is that she wants HR and recruiting leaders to understand the impact of hiring practices that avoid hiring those with felony convictions. Yes, there are laws in place like Ban the Box for many states but the only delay the criminal history conversation. So many companies wont hire people with criminal histories. She says these hiring practices keep people who are trying to re-enter society and the workforce from being able to move forward and earn a living wage. From the first day I stepped onto the prison yard, I enrolled in every rehabilitative program I possibly could. I spent my whole entire time working on becoming a better person by taking a multitude of classes. - @shelley_Winner #podcast #hiring Click To Tweet Advice for Job Candidates with Criminal Records I asked Shelley to also talk to job candidates who have criminal records giving them hope and insights on how to find employment when you have a criminal record. She says job candidates need to be resilient. She says job seekers with criminal histories need to tell employers they are interviewing with about the work theyve done on themselves to move past their mistake. Shelley is a great example and within two months of her start date, she was named the most valuable player for her team. She says it wasnt easy and she had to be relentless with her new employer because after reviewing her criminal history, they tried to rescind the job offer. She didnt accept no for an answer and worked very hard with the recruiter and hiring manager to hire her even with a criminal history. Conclusion Empathy in the hiring process is imperative to keep the “human” in human resources. We all make mistakes. We may have even broken the law, but avoided incarceration. As Shelley said in the beginning of her TedX Talk (listed above), would you want the worst thing you’ve ever done to define you for the rest of your life? Second chances aren’t just something we talk about. We must understand how to support rehabilitation and education for people who are currently or formerly incarcerated. A second chance changed Shelley’s entire life. Consider the impact we could make as a community if we offered the same to the 700,000 people being released from the prison system every year.

Want to find a new job Stop paying so much attention to the minimum requirements. - Copeland Coaching

Want to find a new job Stop paying so much attention to the minimum requirements. Im certain Im going to get negative feedback for saying this, but I just have to. Every day (and I really mean every day) I spend at least an hour trying to convince job seekers to do something that seems completely crazy apply for a job. Why does it seem crazy? It seems crazy to apply for certain jobs because the job seekers work history doesnt match up 100% with the employers job description. The job seeker is convinced that they wont be considered and it will be a big waste of time (and possibly embarrassing). So, why would I encourage someone to apply for something that they are clearly not qualified for? I encourage them to apply because they CAN DO THE JOB! Our educational history and experience are both important. But, do you know whats more important than which degree you have? That you can do the work. Seriously. Employers create job descriptions in the most random ways. When I was a hiring manager, I studied job descriptions for other similar positions (to the one I was hiring for). I did my best to compile all the good parts of the other job descriptions I studied. I wanted to be sure the job description was perfect, and that I didnt leave anything out. I was going to ace that assignment. Im 100% certain that in the process, I came up with a wish list of qualifications that was a mile long. Did it mean that I wouldnt consider anyone who couldnt stand up to all my wishes? No. It was just that a wish list. It would have been unreasonable for me to expect a candidate to have all those qualifications and I knew it. Heres another real life example to demonstrate this point. I recently heard from an employer who is looking to fill a super interesting role. Were talking fun work, impressive title, great company. The job description is very comprehensive and is what I described above a wish list. And, the employer knows it. They told me that they put out a long list of skills hoping to attract as many candidates as possible. (Notice: They are trying to attract as many people as possible not eliminate as many people as possible.) I forwarded that great job to a few qualified people. I got an immediate response from multiple job seekers along these lines. This looks awesome, but Im not fully qualified to do it. Too bad I cant apply! Do you see whats happening here? We are assuming the company wont want to hire us, so we eliminate ourselves from the list of qualified candidates. Then, the company never even hears from us. They dont know we exist. We have taken ourselves out of the race (not the company). Lets think of this in another way. I often say that looking for a job is a lot like dating. At this day in age, lets be honest weve all tried online dating at one time or another. On sites like Match.com, singles are able to specify their preferences for things in a partner including age, height, hobbies, and musical taste. But, if a dater comes across someone that seems interesting, they dont just ignore the profile when theyre not a 100% match in requirements. They send the other person a message. They let the other person know they exist and that there was something about their profile that seemed interesting. Then, the other single (the one being contacted) can decide what they think. Their choice will depend on things like how important those qualities are to them (something you cant know from a profile). Job descriptions are the same way. A company may toss in some random requirement that they dont really care about. If you dont apply, youll never have the chance to be considered. If I could stand up on a table to shout this out, I would. By not applying, you are not allowing the company to make their own decision about their interest level. You are making the decision for them. You are effectively telling them that youre not qualified to do a job you know you can do.   Applying for a job often takes just a few minutes. Its not a huge waste of time. If you think you can do the job, take the time and submit yourself. If you are called for a job interview, it means that the company sees something in your background thats promising. And, they are flexible on their requirements (something you cant know from a job description). If there was only one piece of job search advice I could give, it would be this: APPLY MORE! Put your hat in the ring. The more you apply for jobs you know you can do (whether or not you meet all the requirements), the more choices you will have in the end. You are your own advocate you are your own salesperson. Do your part and SELL YOURSELF! I hope these tips have helped you. Visit CopelandCoaching.com to find more tips to improve your job search.

A Lesson in Loving Your Low-Paid Job

A Lesson in Loving Your Low-Paid Job Alright, lets simply concede straight up that no one loves a low pay. Working your buns off just to scratch by every month isnt anyones thought of affection. In any case, it doesnt mean you cannot be infatuated with your work. Only hear me out. Cash may make life as we know it possible, yet its not everything. A gigantic pay, large house and mean-looking vehicle would be incredible to have, but those things wont guarantee your satisfaction. The High Pay Center has discharged another report expressing the average FTSE 100 CEO acquires £5.5 million every year. That is a significant wedge, particularly when you consider what the normal representative is presumably procuring underneath them. Sure, a bank brimming with heaps of cash may alleviate monetary pressure, but even the most extravagant individuals on the planet arent safe to common troubles. In the event that a horrid salary has made you hate your activity, its opportunity to locate another point of view. Your job may offer you much more than you might suspect. On the off chance that you can, take a stab at looking past your low pay for a moment and spotlight on the other components that make up your current occupation. Satisfaction Examine your everyday work do you love what you do? In the event that the appropriate response is truly, sometimes pursuing your passion as a vocation implies giving up a major pay. In the event that you truly love what you do, is the cash truly worth worrying about? That you are so fortunate to make the most of your work that is beyond what can be said for a great deal of people. Those who procure gigantic wages are regularly being made up for accomplishing work that is incredibly upsetting, tedious and laborious. A parcel of individuals do truly adore their work and are paid well, and well, that is the fantasy isnt it? Then again, if the appropriate response is no, maybe cash isnt the main problem here, its your activity fulfillment. Perhaps its chance to change careers (and see whether more cash may accompany a difference in landscape). Hours and days Examine the hours you work. Do you get your ends of the week off? Would you be able to time off at 5pm, truly and intellectually? Do you possess energy for a morning walk and espresso before work? Do you get adaptable hours? A few people need to stay accessible if the need arises and make themselves accessible at just a minutes notice. Others can never really turn off from work, and stress over their work every minute of every day. Area Is your activity neighborhood? Doesn't working in the city mean you can be home in less than 10 minutes? Will you generally discover a recreation center, or get a seat on the transport in the first part of the day? Or on the other hand perhaps your job is situated away from home, a few or constantly? Do you get the chance to visit new places, or travel with work? For certain individuals, the area of their activity is risky for them and is an incredibly unpleasant piece of their profession. How does yours stack up? Partners Do you love the individuals you work with? Do you appreciate their conversation, do they make you giggle? What about your chief. It is safe to say that she is/he steady and comprehension? Do they offer you opportunities to grow expertly, and assume on greater liability when you are performing admirably? A few people hate their colleagues, and report to the nastiest of directors. Advantages How do your advantages look? Do you have a liberal occasion allowance? Do you get exercise center participation, or maybe free breakfast on Mondays? What other non-money related additional items do you get as a feature of your job? Salary isnt consistently the main path for you to excel monetarily. Openings Is your activity utilizing your college degree? Does it offer you the opportunity to build up your abilities and increase significant experience which will set you up for your best course of action? On the off chance that you have movement possibilities and bearing in your job, youre presumably happier than many individuals who dont very know where their activity is driving them. Satisfaction Do you believe you are helping individuals? It is safe to say that you are having any kind of effect in people groups lives? Being satisfied in your profession is something that not every person has the joy of feeling. While more money would make life significantly simpler, scoring a compensation rise is not in every case straight forward. Where conceivable, attempt to center your attention on the bits of your activity you love.
