Thank you Catherine Turner for the reminder that it is 'National Poetry Day'. Please enjoy this masterpiece.. Enhancing talent acquisition's might, 'Poetry' shines on us all so bright. Weaving a tapestry of efficiency and grace, Reducing busywork, we metaphorically embrace. Log in and a magical spell is cast, Removing repetitive tasks of the past. No more tedium, no more mundane, 'Poetry' steps forward, breaking the bane. Collaboration, a harmonious choir, 'Poetry' unites us, fueling the fire. No more siloed islands of work, Recruiters, sourcers, no longer in murk. Recruiters nurtured by Poetry's embrace, A symphony of joy, our burdens erased. Candidates too, with grateful hearts, Experience better; their dreams can embark. Oh, 'Poetry', the muse of talent acquisition, Bringing joy, efficiency, and pure elation. With its transformative power, it leaves a trace, Enriching the journey for all in our space.

It is said that everyone has a story to tell. But how do you unearth that story and share it with the world, especially when you feel like you have nothing to contribute? One creative approach is to interview yourself. Imagine you're the interviewer, posing questions about your life and experiences. This exercise can help you organize your thoughts and reveal captivating anecdotes. It's a surefire way to ignite your creativity and set you on a journey to narrate your life story in an interesting way. Next, grab your smartphone and record this self-interview. Utilize platforms like Rev dot com (no affiliation) to transcribe the audio file into text. This text can serve as the foundation for a potential book manuscript. Alternatively, streamline the process by using Google Voice Typing and dictated directly to a Google document. So, no more excuses. Stop reading this and start writing that book now! #write #author #selfpublish

Happy World Poetry Day, everyone! 🎉✍️ Think of today as a dance, with each of us moving to the rhythm of enchanting words as we explore the magical intersection of poetry and recruitment. 📚✨ In the world of recruitment, it's all about those personal connections. 🤗 You see, every resume we come across tells a story—it's a personal anthem, rich with experiences, dreams, and incredible promise. We're not just on the hunt for skills; we're looking to discover the person behind the prose, someone whose life story harmonizes with our company's culture and future dreams. When crafting those job descriptions, why not channel our inner bards? Let's splash some color with our words and create a vibrant scene that calls out to that ideal candidate, making them feel like the role was written just for them! 🎨🌈 And when it comes to interviews, think of them as our very own live poetry sessions. Here, the exchange of words and gestures sets the stage for a meaningful dialogue. Every intentional question is our chance to delve deep, peeling back layers to reveal the candidate's core—much like poetry lays bare the human spirit. So here's a cheer to all the poets and recruiters out there! In both realms, we're in search of that perfect balance—between heartfelt expression and clear understanding, between feelings and function. Whether you're composing an ode or carving out a new career path, don't forget about the incredible connections that the right words can create. Let's keep on writing, keep on recruiting, and keep celebrating the wondrous world of opportunities that language opens up for us all. 🎇📝🌟 What is everyone's plan for World Poetry day?

Books, books and more writing! Hi, everyone I am back, after a hectic, lengthy lay off from this networking to work and reflect, to do what I love to do best. In short to express myself in all areas on my LinkedIn CV. During the 'silence', I have edited 3 books, including an autobiography, been nominated for the local prestigious award, the National arts merit awards (NAMA), reworked/edited several manuscripts, written and self published 3 books. Of the three books; One, is in my mother tongue-Shona, titled Tariro abiwa, and the second one is an experimental combined language, literary version novel, in my mother language- Shona and English; titled Chapwati and the third is a Crime, detectives and action novel in English, titled The RailBlock. The first Tariro abiwa is on Amazon. I have also done an English version of it- Tariro abducted. Chapwati, I also self published but I am marketing and selling it myself too. As for the third one, RailBlocks, I am looking for a home for it via Literary agencies. While I managed to gather a great team and successfully hold a Book and arts festival in 2017, Covid and poor results of the follow-up post covid festival, made me realise that we had left fundamental stages on the path to our early success, that I am now correcting in preparation for a return to the great success of the first attempt. the advantage , motivation and drive this time is from the knowledge of what lies ahead of a diligently prepared and well implemented plan of action. It sure feels good to be back.

In one of the many interviews I attended during the society recruitment season, I was asked to give a SWOT analysis for poetry. I thought it was extremely interesting, since it put into perspective an activity I engage in as a hobby. 💡Strengths - Concise delivery of information in a world with a shrinking attention span. - Establishes an emotional connect with the reader, leaving a lasting impression. 💡Weaknesses - Poetry being open to interpretation creates a gap in communication. - The audience for poetry is reducing in our era of visual media. 💡Opportunities - Using poetry in unconventional methods, such as in presentations and pitches. 💡Threats - Poetry requires an appreciation for the classics. Popular media gravitating away from this space could erode opportunities for poetry. Scroll to read one of my poems! Vantage. How it should all seem from the stars, Uniformly insignificant our laurels and our scars, Cross-eyed with proximity, Hysteric in the intensity, Our worlds come crashing down in a matter of mere seconds, We see no salvageable means to our ends, Small and infinite are such broken dreams. A fleeting breeze bearing a sweet scent, It's gone before you know where it all went, These tiny humans in their tiny houses, With a tiny problem and the tiny joys it douses, No rest, not a breath, keep your eyes ahead. In the face of nature's immortal surety, Would these insecurities be at liberty? Or are they subdued to a shameful silence, In profound and late repentance, Of all the small things they forgot to smile at. Step back, see it through a different lens, The mist clears from a distance. Tell me about your favourite hobbies and any corresponding S/W/O/T!

#Jobsearchtips 75 I've recently finished judging a poetry competition (something I occasionally do outside the day job). Putting my recruiter hat on, it was quite interesting to see how & why the poems ended up where they did in the competition. A batch of them simply weren't very good, quality wise - at least to my eyes - though judging anything like this is, to a certain extent, subjective. Others were well written, but didn't fit the brief - which was that poems had to be on an environmental theme, but with a positive message. The competition requirements stated clearly, (for those who read the guidelines), that what wasn't required was 'hero' poems where someone had personally solved a particular issue, but more community led, where people came together at a local (or global) level. We had some brilliant nature poems that didn't talk about environmental change We had some brilliant nature / environmental poems that were dark and apocalyptic We had some brilliant poems that placed a person, or one or two people, at the centre of the narrative and didn't talk about community. In many cases, a minor tweak would have made all the difference - one poem would probably have been placed very highly if the poet had changed three words in their poem. The similarities between this, and screening applicants for a role, were, for me, pretty stark. Many candidates clearly apply to an advertisement without properly taking account of the brief and what is actually said on a job spec. I've also placed a good number of people when I've 'read between the lines' of their CV to identify that they are actually more suitable for a position than their application would otherwise suggest. I know that most job ads are appalling, and candidates don't have time to completely rewrite their CV for every application. But it's worth thinking about the format of your CV to see if you arrange it so that it's easy to tweak slightly for each application (or at these those you are serious about applying for). It's also worth properly reading a job spec and company website before applying, and asking yourself whether, in reality, there is a match between your experience and aspirations for this role. If not, why are you wasting your time applying? Finally, if you have applied for a role, know that there is a good match with your experience, made it clear on your CV why you are a fit, and still heard nothing back - try not to be hard on yourself. Unfortunately, candidate screening is as much subjective as it is objective, whether we like it or not.

Ok LinkedIn, I need some advice. A colleague and I submitted an article to a special issue of a peer reviewed journal in. July 2022 It was accepted in November 2022. It went through copy editing and we were even given the issue # that our article would be in. Over the past year+, we have followed up numerous times with the editor. We even included the other editor named on the website in these follow ups. The website for this journal now says they aren’t accepting new submissions but our article was accepted months before that message was posted. The last contextual piece to share is that this was a COVID related project so at this point it’s likely it wouldn’t be accepted by other journals given how specific it was. What should I do? List it on my CV as “accepted” but never be able to reference an issue, volume, and/or page numbers? Do I put it as being “in press”? If so? How long can I leave it as “in press”? Do I leave it completely off my CV? Inquiring minds wants to know 🤔
