This National Careers Week we are encouraging industry professionals to visit the Careers and Enterprise website to register and Give an Hour. Give an Hour is a really simple and easy way for professionals to register and help support a young person in order to inspire the next generation of construction workers. By taking an hour out of your work to support a young person, you can help them understand the career journey you took, the key skills and behaviours you have learned throughout your career and the people that have helped you to get to where you are now. You can register for free to become a role model for a young person in your area. It may be that the young person doesn’t pursue a career in construction, but your support may be instrumental in helping them to understand the workplace and what employers are wanting to see from young people applying for jobs. Remember, no one starts out as a professional, we all had to learn from someone else. Why not be that someone else? Register here today - https://lnkd.in/gSWNpVMS

When you read an Oil & Gas job description, are you skipping to the most important part? It can be easy to get bogged down in the job overview, but to avoid wasting time, skip right to the minimum requirements section. This section will tell you if you’re at least a 75% match AND if you have enough ‘hard’ skills and education to compete for the role. Don’t sell yourself short, though. If you’re not a 100% match, there are reasons why you might still be a great fit for the position. Some of these reasons include: ✔️ Strong ‘soft’ skills like interpersonal communication, leadership, and collaboration. Don’t forget to give examples rather than simply state you have these skills! ✔️ Years of commensurate industry experience that makes up for an education requirement. ✔️ Subject matter expertise in a specific field that makes you an ideal candidate. ✔️ Being on the cusp of a ‘years of experience’ requirement (e.g., 7 years is required and you have 6); don’t forget internships can count! ✔️ Industry contacts for roles in account management, sales, and business development. Ultimately, the most important rule of thumb is to be CLEAR about your fit rather than ‘burying the lead’ or waiting to clarify your fit in the interview. If you don’t make your fit clear in items like your resume, LinkedIn, and cover letter, you may not get to the interview stage. Always use the top 1/4 portion of your resume to outline your fit for EACH role. Yes, take the time to tailor the content for each job even if it annoys the living daylights out of you. You may be applying for this one role, but remember that the HR pro hiring for the job is checking your SPECIFIC fit against many other candidates. A generic, ‘one-size-fits-all’ resume won’t cut it. Hope you had a relaxing Labor Day weekend, O&G friends! #oilgas #oilandgas #jobseekers #hiringandpromotion #resumes #energystrong
