What you need to know: To be honest I was expecting to be occupied by responding to messages on Twitter, LinkedIn and WhatsApp, for just one day. It is day 14 and I am still getting messages of disbelief, congratulations and good wishes. The last two weeks have been filled with so many kind words and gifts, ever since I shared the news with friends, workmates and others, that I was wrapping up my time at Nation Media Group after 20 years of uninterrupted service (I love how that sounds!). To be honest I was expecting to be occupied by responding to messages on Twitter, LinkedIn and WhatsApp, for just one day. It is day 14 and I am still getting messages of disbelief, congratulations and good wishes. I am grateful for them all but the ones that have touched me deeply are those of people sharing with me how I impacted their lives and the lessons they learnt, took and are using to this day. I feel like a teacher whose students have come back to thank her for the many lessons taught – in and out of the classroom. That first day I shared the messages, Twitter couldn’t

Remote work popular in cityKirk Penton - Aug 12, 2023 / 11:00 am | Story: 441308 Photo: Contributed There is now plenty of data to back up Kelowna’s burgeoning reputation as a Zoom town. According to a study conducted by LinkedIn’s Economic Graph research team, Kelowna is No. 1 among Canadian metropolitan centres when it comes to people applying for remote positions. LinkedIn examined 12 million remote job applications on its platform between May 2022 and May 2023, and it found 49.4% of all applications made by Kelowna residents were for paid remote postings in Canada. Victoria was second on the list at 45.6%. The term “Zoom town” became popular during the COVID-pandemic, as it is a community that experiences a significant population increase due to an influx of remote workers. Kelowna proved to be a popular destination if it didn’t matter where you lived and your remote job offered a decent wage. LinkedIn interviewed Jessica Weisz, who works in tech entrepreneurship and venture capital. She stopped working in-person in Toronto during the pandemic and moved to Niagara, Ont., and then to Kelowna. “What we were optimizing for was sunshine,” Weisz told LinkedIn. “I had never been to Kelowna.

So much for those who say Gen Zers look for every excuse not to work. A new survey from LinkedIn says this is a generation too committed to their jobs to take vacation. LinkedIn’s research looked at attitudes about vacation across four generations — Gen Z (born between 1997 and 2012), millennials (1981-1996), Gen X (1965-1980) and baby boomers (1946-1964). And the youngest generation was the group least likely to take time off soon. Specifically, 58% of Gen Zers surveyed said they planned to take some vacation in the next few months, compared with 64% of Millennials, 62% of Gen Xers and 64% of Boomers. And even when Gen Zers do get away from the office, they’re still not at ease. The survey found that 35% of Gen Zers said they felt guilty when not working on vacation, compared with 30% of Millennials, 32% of Gen Xers and 22% of Boomers. The LinkedIn survey was part of the company’s Workforce Confidence Index, which entails reaching out to members of the job-focused social-media platform with questions. The company says roughly 3,000 to 5,000 members respond to each survey. What’s behind the Gen Z hesitancy to just take — and enjoy —

During military transition, your LinkedIn profile needs to do a lot of work. Your name must be spelled correctly on your profile, and it must feature an attractive list of keywords and sport a picture of you at your spiffy best. It must also pass the dreaded Celery Test. After teaching our Stealth LinkedIn master class last month, so many transitioning military members, veterans and spouses asked for a review of their LinkedIn profile that we hosted a follow-up LinkedIn Lab. It was fantastic to work with you one-on-one. While people had put a ton of good work into completing their profiles, many of them did not pass the dreaded Celery Test. What Is the Celery Test? Popularized in Simon Sinek's book, “Start With Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action,” the Celery Test was devised as a way to test for coherence and decide what to include or exclude in your product. It turns out that the Celery Test also works great when evaluating the LinkedIn profile for transitioning military, veterans and spouses. Resumes also need to pass the dreaded Celery Test. Come to our FREE Resume Learning Lab and get your resume evaluated on Thursday, Aug.
