LinkedIn tools can make job hunters' resumes come alive and give them insight into their target companies, an executive said in a "Newsday Live" program.. Prospective job candidates can make their LinkedIn profiles stand out by adding a high-quality profile photo or a video, said Ada Yu, group product manager at LinkedIn. "Nearly 80% of hiring managers believe a video is an important way to understand candidates," Yu said during the online event, part of Newsday's Carving Out a Career series. Yu said that LinkedIn is rolling out a new "video cover story" feature that allows job candidates to offer "a glimpse into your personality." Yu was interviewed by Faith Jessie, Newsday anchor, and Victor Ocasio, Newsday's labor and employment reporter. LinkedIn, now owned by Seattle-based Microsoft Corp., is a professional networking site with about 740 million members worldwide.

The pandemic giveth and the pandemic taketh away.  That was the major takeaway from Eli Lilly’s first-quarter earnings, which reflected plummeting demand for COVID-19 drugs.   While Lilly’s revenue for the period clocked in at $6.81 billion, a 16% increase from the period last year, it fell significantly short of analyst projections from Bloomberg ($7.02B) and Mizuho ($6.94 billion), for example. Earnings per share tumbled to $1.87, falling short of a predicted $2.13. Investors weren't happy. Shares plummeted by 8% in pre-market trading and were down by 4.7% midday. But at least one analyst figures the pandemic pain is masking a more positive long-term story. “Quarterly performance (in 2021) was expected to be lumpy in Pharma due to the pandemic as well as sales of antibodies," wrote Louise Chen of Cantor Fitzgerald. The firm puts Lilly's 12-month price target at a hefty $245.  As last year progressed, Lilly increasingly rode sales of bamlanivimab, making $871 million off the COVID-19 antibody treatment in the fourth quarter alone. But a month ago, as coronavirus variants emerged in the United States, the FDA halted distribution of bamlanivimab after finding it ineffective as a standalone treatment. Earlier in March, three western states, including California, had already…

Most mothers and fathers would know that being a stay-at-home parent is absolutely a full-time job.But for Alison Black, an eight-year "gap" between working and raising her three children has left her feeling a little unsettled.In two years' time, when her youngest goes to school, she'll be looking to get out into the workforce again.She says she's already starting to think about how she should "justify" having taken the time off.And she worries that any prospective employer's attitude might be that she's been sitting around "drinking lattes and having mum chitchat for 10 years"."Obviously there's so much more to it," she is quick to add. Alison says staying at home with her children was the right choice for her.(Supplied)So with the world's largest professional networking site, LinkedIn, deciding to recognise this unpaid labour as part of a person's profile history, mothers like Alison are fully on board.Currently there's no option on LinkedIn for parents and carers to explain those gaps in their work history.LinkedIn says in response to feedback, particularly from women and mothers, it's adding "stay-at-home mum", "stay-at-home dad" and "stay-at-home parent" to its job options in the "coming weeks"."In the near future, we'll also add a new field specifically for employment-gap types to the…

TORONTO -- Jonathan Frostick has spent a lot of time rethinking his outlook on work and just how misplaced some of his priorities were. Last Sunday afternoon, he was at his desk prepping for what would’ve been a busy workweek as a program director at an investment bank in the U.K. But suddenly, he couldn’t breathe. He was having a heart attack. As his chest tightened, his ears popped and pain surged through his left arm he was only thinking about work. “I needed to meet with my manager tomorrow, this isn’t convenient,” Frostick wrote in a post on the networking site LinkedIn, as he laid in a hospital bed. But after his near-death experience, he’s pledging some big changes. “I’m not spending all day on Zoom anymore. I’m really not going to be putting up with any s#%t at work ever again - life literally is too short.” These were just some of the vows the HSBC employee made and they’ve since led to a groundswell of support from people online. The epiphany, which Frostick detailed in post last week, has been liked more than 285,600 times as of Sunday and garnered nearly 15,000 comments from all over the…

A DORSET IT manager working for HSBC has vowed to spend less time on Zoom after suffering a heart attack. In a now-viral post on social media site LinkedIn, Jonathan Frostick, 45, said the first thought that flashed through his head as he began to suffer intense pressure in his chest was "I needed to meet with my manager tomorrow, this isn't convenient". He thought "how do I secure funding" for a work project, "I haven't updated my will", and last "I hope my wife doesn't find me dead". Mr Frostick's LinkedIn post Mr Frostick, from Bournemouth, was working from home at the time, earlier this month, and fortunately was able to get the attention of his wife, who called the ambulance service. Updating his LinkedIn page, apparently from hospital, Mr Frostick said he had made several decisions as a result of his experience. "I'm not spending all day on Zoom anymore. "I'm restructuring my approach to work. "I'm really not going to be putting up with any **** at work ever again - life literally is too short. "I'm losing 15kg.
