Initiative aims to better match job seekers to employers amid workforce transformationPublishedAug 15, 2021, 5:00 am SGT A scheme that encourages hiring based on skills instead of paper qualifications has been launched to better match job seekers to employers - part of a "all hands on deck" push to support workers and firms in coping with changes driven by Covid-19 and workforce transformation. Minister for Manpower Tan See Leng said LinkedIn's new Skills Path initiative can help employers look past traditional criteria like degrees and past designations, and focus on skills that the worker has. "This helps them broaden their talent pool and build a more diverse workforce," he said. Backed by the National Jobs Council, the initiative will see LinkedIn suggest suitable opportunities to job seekers on its platform from next month based on their proven skills. Job seekers pursuing roles through the programme can pick up the required skills with free learning courses on the professional social network and validate their skills after that. Companies participating in the initiative include CapitaLand, foodpanda, Lazada, NTUC Enterprise, OCBC Bank and Zuellig Pharma. Currently, six types of roles will be available under Skills Path: customer service personnel, data analysts, project managers,…

Getting your brand out there is a tough job - here are some tips on what you can do Legal marketing is an important tool in building a law firm’s brand It would be a perfect world if you, as a practising lawyer, could hang out a shingle, like in the “olden days,” as your go-to legal marketing plan for how to start a law firm. The hope is that, like magic, clients would appear wanting your services. Even a couple of decades back, having a listing or ad in the Yellow Pages directories (remember them) would be a simple, generally effective strategy. Prospective clients would turn to the lawyer listings and start calling. Today, despite the connectivity and search capability of the Internet – in fact, maybe even because of those features – it’s getting harder to stand out in the legal industry and have people find you. It would be nice if a LinkedIn or Facebook profile alone would do the trick, and those will certainly help, but it’s not enough. And with roughly 130,000 lawyers across Canada, you likely face a lot of competition. “You can be a brilliant lawyer, but if no one knows who you are, what…

Perhaps you’ve seen people on LinkedIn promote themselves as “LIONs.” No, they don’t growl or try to steal your food, but they are letting others know that they take an open networking approach to building contacts. LION stands for “LinkedIn Open Networker,” and these individuals believe the more people you’re connected to, the more opportunities you can attract. This approach also is seen in other social media platforms and in person, as well. As you build your post-military career and network, consider whether taking an open networking approach works for you. Let’s look at the pros and cons. Benefits of Open Networking To be willing to connect with anyone who asks, as an open networker, you’ll receive: More visibility across various companies and industries. Higher name recognition with contacts who otherwise might not be able to connect with you. A greater number of connections on social media, which can drive the impression that you’re more popular and influential. People who love the open concept of networking claim that the more people you know, the more potential connections to opportunities that arise. They are less discerning about who they connect with and what they know about that individual, than the quantity…
