Talent doesn't always equal to outstanding work experience. Talent is also about the potential someone has to do a great job! Meet Alanis R. from Peru, this is her story: "Before joining Bloom I didn't have a job because no one wanted to hire a young woman without enough education or experience, so my finances were difficult, and my self-esteem was at rock bottom. Since Bloom hired me, I have gained a lot of work experience, I feel more confident in myself, and my finances have stabilized to the point of having peace of mind in my life." This is the kind of people we connect US companies with: Hard workers, persistent and talented. Companies need more people like Alanis and others that we are blessed to work with. More to come 🙌

Here's how to deliver feedback and make people love you. Out of the blue feedback sessions, or harsh feedback can cause employees to secretly (or openly) 😑 start hating you. Here's how to do it the right way 👇

Delivering feedback may be something you look forward to or something you'd love that wasn't in your scope of responsibilities. How do you feel about it as a leader?

How much could your life change with the right opportunities? This is the story of Tobias A. from Kenya: "Before Bloom, I could only find volunteer opportunities, and that was the only time I earned a little money. Then I went on selling clothes on the streets. I dropped out of school because I didn't have money to pay for my tuition fee and support my family. I was living in the slum areas where my family would get sick often because of a mosquito bite that causes malaria. Within the first year at Bloom, we achieved our dream of building a house. Bloom has changed my life and the lives of my family members. I can now buy school uniforms, books, admission fees and help my parents. I am now self-reliant." Making excuses for your current situation is the easiest thing to do. Doing something about it requires effort but this actually helps you make a difference.

"I used to be an ESL teacher." Meet Maria Fernanda M. from Argentina. An experienced teacher, she speaks fluent English and committed to doing her best at work. You'd think that many companies or schools would hire her in the blink of an eye in her country, but reality was different. Here's her story: "I used to be an ESL teacher. Being in my late forties was not precisely a strength in a country where unemployment rates have gone sky-high. Half of my salary came from under-the-counter jobs. I was always running from one school to another, unable to sit and have dinner with my family because I was teaching late hours every week. I didn't have free time to fully serve at church. Since I joined Bloom, I lead a wonderful team and I am mentored by an awesome manager. My age is not a challenge for professional growth anymore. The economy in my country is fragile, but I am capable now of helping my husband support our family." Some orgs in emerging markets can't offer fair salaries or even more job opportunities. That's why we're committed to helping companies in the US find top talent that is ready to hit the ground running. We help companies grow and these in return, help these amazing people grow.
