SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:
2:00 - JLee was out last week because she was vacationing in a tiny house! She wasn’t the biggest fan of it…
4:00 - Have you ever seen anyone put being a parent as an experience on a resume? Tim has seen it a few times for people coming back to work after taking an extended break away to raise a family.
5:30 - There is a new movement to “add mother to your resume” in hopes to destigmatize the duty of being a mother in a workplace environment.
7:00 - Are you okay with your kids’ calling you by your first name? Tim’s son calls his wife by a nickname that is similar to her first name and she’s alright with that but Jessica thinks it would be weird if her kids’ called her by her name.
10:00 - Tim thinks that there are going to be lovers and haters regardless if you make a decision like putting “parenthood” on your resume. He says go do it if you want!
14:00 - MOTR: Motherhood On The Resume! Check it out here!
15:00 - JLee came across a viral LinkedIn post about getting asked ‘what you have been doing to occupy your time’ after being laid off.
16:45 - Tim thinks that it’s a valid question to be asked from a TA perspective because you never know what could be going on in that person’s life, even if it’s in the middle of a recession/pandemic.
21:00 - JLee asks Tim what’s the longest gap where you’re feeling extra weary. He says he only gives executive employees 12 months of a break on their resume before he gets curious.
24:00 - JLee mentions that empathy training for recruiters and TA pros could be really helpful in order to get honest answers from candidates.
28:00 - JLee and Tim both note how parenthood has made them more empathetic in job interviews and recruiting settings.
32:00 - Thanks to JLee and Tim for shouting out my (hi, this is Cam!) first BuzzFeed article. You can check it out here!
