𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐓𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐛𝐢𝐚 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞  In light of so many recent articles discussing “Telephobia,” (the fear of making or receiving phone calls) we want to offer some tips to overcome this anxiety and improve your phone skills—and hopefully eliminate some of the communication gaps so frequently lost in a text or email: 1. 𝐆𝐞𝐭 𝐎𝐮𝐭 𝐎𝐟 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐙𝐨𝐧𝐞  Gradually expose yourself to phone calls to reduce anxiety. Allow yourself to feel anxious without fighting it. Over time, the discomfort will lessen. 2. 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲 Improve your skills by making low-stakes calls, such as asking about store hours. Set small goals, like staying on the line for a few minutes, to build confidence. 3. 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬 Before calling, make key points to stay focused. Bullet points can help you cover all necessary topics and reduce anxiety. 4. 𝐎𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐄𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 Choose a quiet, private space for phone calls. If you work in an open-plan office, find a meeting room or quiet corner to reduce stress. 5. 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬 If you’re more comfortable with written communication, let others know. Suggest alternatives like email when appropriate to ease anxiety. 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 In the realm of digital communication, nuances and context are often lost, emphasizing the need for verbal discussions. Engaging in verbal conversations serves as a pivotal means to ensure clarity and mutual understanding amidst the potential limitations of written correspondence. Phone anxiety is manageable with the right strategies. Embrace discomfort, practice regularly, prepare notes, optimize your environment, and communicate your preferences. With patience, you’ll find phone calls become less daunting and more manageable, improving your confidence and communication skills in the workplace.  Check out this article by Claire Eastham for more details! https://lnkd.in/gaE4ECUG

Over the past few years, we have seen a major increase in interview process timelines. According to an article by Monster, the average interview process for a white-collar position in 2023 could be up to 44 calendar days, and we have personally experienced processes lasting up to 6 months! This lengthy extension has led to an increase in candidates withdrawing from interviews and declining job offers. This trend is impacting both in-house talent acquisition departments and agency recruiters alike. Organizations are adding more steps, such as 5 rounds of intensive interviews with more interviewers added to the process, comprehensive skills assessments, and personality testing, which drastically extend the hiring process. The prolonged timelines leave candidates feeling uncertain, increasing the likelihood of declined offers due to diminished trust in the organization, and ultimately resulting in these positions remaining unfilled for extended periods. While the intention behind extending interview timelines is to ensure thorough vetting, this trend highlights the need for companies to streamline their processes to balance thoroughness with efficiency. Do you believe a lengthy interview process more effectively ensures the organization is securing the best talent? Or is this trend likely to negatively impact the candidate market moving forward? Check out this article from Monster highlighting how to streamline the interview process to keep candidates engaged: https://lnkd.in/eeWcgPNz

If you’ve been paying even a little attention to the news this year, you’ve heard a significant amount of discussion about the rise of Artificial Intelligence. The pace of so many advancements in such a short time has led many experts to say that we are on the brink of a new era unlike anything we’ve seen in our lifetimes; but what does that mean for the average worker? What does this mean for the job market, and who could be impacted? It’s not a simple question to answer, but there are some very interesting points that can be pulled from research: •A study by McKinsey Global Institute reports that by 2030, potentially 14% of global employees could need to change careers due to AI advancements •That same study predicts that 70% of companies globally will have adopted at least one type of AI technology by 2030. •Currently, nearly 40% of employment globally is exposed to some form of AI •According to researchers from the University of Pennsylvania and OpenAI, those earning up to $80,000 annually are the most likely group to be affected by workforce automation and AI use in the future •By next year, 2025, a report by MIT and Boston University claims that AI will replace as many as two million manufacturing workers •According to reporting by Forbes, some sectors that will be most impacted by AI in the near future include finance and banking, media and marketing, and legal services So, what can you do to help keep ahead of the curve? LinkedIn’s article, 8 Ways to Protect Your Job from AI, provides a few answers: •Keep building your professional network: no matter what happens in the future, human relationships are not going anywhere. The more people you know, the more potential doors you have in front of you •Focus on soft skills: AI cannot replicate genuine human interaction, and as such your ability the “human touch” will become one of business’s most sought after traits. •Collaborate with AI: Learning to properly utilize AI can give you a significant advantage both now and in the future •Specialize in niche areas: Industry-specific knowledge and experience are a great barrier against the threat of automation. AI excels at processing data, but actually understanding what to do with that information can still only be directed by a human. The more industry nuance you understand, the more secure your position will be.
