Just wanted to say she should still apply! She shouldn’t filter herself out, let the recruiters do that if they don’t think it’s a fit. But we know there is a confidence gap based on gender and women will self-select out of something if they have less than 100% of the qualifications when a man with the same qualifications will apply. So pay attention to the requirements vs nice to haves and apply if you meet 50-60% of the desired qualifications.
Yes! I always tell people to apply if they meet around 60% of the qualifications (unless there's a licensing requirement they can't meet).
Morning! We are hiring at my company for many different roles. I own a sales and marketing agency (corporate sales trainings, social media management, VA concierge, business consulting, etc.). What is she looking for? And I agree - all these companies asking for years of experience is ridiculous. Bring them on and let them grow 👏
Hey Katrina!
Thanks for reaching out, her experience is primarily in social media and marketing with a degree in communications from Arizona State. Unfortunately her current employer decided overnight they want all employees to be local in California and told the remote workforce unless they are willing to relocate on their own expense there without a job. Let me know how she could learn more?
What is your daughters degree in? What about location?
Hi! Her degree is in communications from Arizona State University. She specializes in social media and brand management but frankly open to anything! She is currently based in Houston so open to anything local or remote. Unfortunately her previous company decided overnight that they no longer want a remote workforce in unless she was willing to move to California by next week they were letting those employees go. It’s super unfortunate that is the approach they take and that is her first experience to the work world… I know as professionals we can do better. Welcome any ideas you have!
Not sure what her degree is in, but I’ve seen a lot of success when starting out as a recruiter with a staffing firm. Typically these firms hire first time recruiters (some of the pay is commission based I think) and then someone can work their way up or jump to an industry job.
Thanks!!
What’s her degree in and what kind of experience does she have?
I have to be transparent and disclose that my father gave me my first internship but he coached me on how to work hard and make myself irreplaceable to business. He said “I opened the door and it’s up to you to be invited to stay”.
I was with that company for 8 years!
I work for an app and i see a lot of new graduates flourishing in our digital marketing/influencer acquisition space - there is certainly a gap there where youth is a bit of a plus.
Let your daughter struggle through this herself. She will find her way — don’t steal her struggle.
