This is my latest series of post that will be a part of Smart Responsible Gaming.
As a percentage of the gaming, casino and hotel industry returns to work, many
co-workers are still on furlough or in between job opportunities. Since we
are all in this together, this series is to help make this transition a successful one.
That is why I have chosen the acronym PIVOT in the form of initialism. I will
share the 1st three letters today.
The P is for planning what your next move will be. First, find out when the next
wave of call backs to your current employer are projected for. Then you can
determine how long you may have to wait. You can gauge the length of your
unemployment benefits and and take advantage of any training module that may
be available to you.
The I is for intelligently mapping out your strategize. Reach out to other members of
your professional network and let them know that you are looking for opportunities.
Update your resume. Have 2 copies available. One is for the type of job that you had
previously. The second will be tailored to industries that are hiring your skill set.
Highlight the characteristics that make you appealing to a recruiter. Be prepared to have
a phone interview or a virtual meeting via Zoom.
The V is for value you place on your self worth. You must decide how much you should be
compensated for what you can do. Then negotiate with yourself and determine what percentage
you could accept from any employer. Keep in mind this is a competitive job market.
I will complete the PIVOT acronym in my next blog post.
