What I do love about Valentine’s Day is the opportunity to make people feel special. Being in the recruiting industry for as long as I have, the calls continue to increase each year for those looking for a safe confidant to vent to.

As part of this process, I like to take the time to come up with what my word of the year will be…
As I sat down to write my last blog of 2023, it gave me pause to think about the past 12 months. It is hard to believe that this time last year, I was in such a different place personally and professionally.

Careers are long and a lot of “life” happens during that time. While I am a firm believer in making things happen for yourself—there are peaks and valleys in every journey. Peoplezest has worked hard to create a safe place for candidates to talk to us about their own bumps in the road and how to navigate and turn it into a strength in an interview.
I am often asked what has kept peoplezest going, what has made it successful? One of my top answers is always—relationships.
We can all get so busy with everyday life that we forget to take a moment to think about our life and career goals.

As Christmas weekend approaches and 2022 winds down, I like to pause amongst the hustle and bustle and reflect on the last 12 months. This year has seen many moments of success and joy, a few heartaches, and some not so great moments.
November is a special month of gratitude and giving. It is so nice to be able to take the time to enjoy being with our loved ones and eat all the delicious food that the Thanksgiving holiday offers as we give thanks for our blessings.
The hiring process is a relationship, and the more it is fostered the better the outcome.
