The College Search & Job Hunt: More Alike Than You Think!????? Watching my daughter navigate the?college admissions process?has been a masterclass in resilience, strategy, and the power of a well-prepared application. Huge congratulations to her on being?accepted to Virginia Tech! ???? #ProudDadMoment #GOHOKIES Coming from the IT staffing and consulting, I couldn’t help but notice how much?finding the right college?mirrors?finding the right job - and not just for the applicants, but for?the colleges (and hiring managers) too! ??Crafting the Perfect Application = Tailoring Your Resume Colleges (like employers) don’t just want a list of achievements—they want to see how you?stand out. A generic application won’t cut it, just like a generic resume won’t land you the job. Customization is key! ??Campus Visits = Interviewing the Company Just as students visit campuses to find the right cultural fit, job seekers should?research companies, connect with employees, and ask questions?to ensure alignment with their values and goals. ??Demonstrated Interest Matters Colleges look for students who engage—attending events, reaching out, and showing passion. Employers do the same!?A strong LinkedIn presence, networking, and proactive outreach?can set you apart from other candidates. ??The Wait Can Be Brutal Whether it’s a college admissions decision or a job offer, the waiting game is nerve-wracking. But patience, persistence, and?having multiple options?help turn uncertainty into opportunity. ??Colleges & Employers Want the Right Fit Too Just like students are evaluating colleges, colleges are?selecting students?who will thrive on campus and contribute to their community. The same goes for hiring managers—they aren’t just filling a role; they’re choosing the best talent for their culture, mission, and long-term success. At Core Consulting, we see these parallels every day—helping IT professionals land roles that truly fit their skills, experience, and aspirations. Just like my daughter found her perfect match at?Virginia Tech, the right job (or hire!) comes from preparation, persistence, and knowing where you belong. To all the students, job seekers, and hiring managers out there—keep pushing forward. The right opportunity is out there waiting for you!??? #VirginiaTech #JobSearchTips #ITStaffing #CollegeAdmissions #Hiring #ProudDad #CoreConsulting

The U.S. Job Market: Fewer Quits, More Stability—But What’s Next? The latest data shows a sharp decline in job quitting rates—down 11% from 2023 and 22% from the 2022 peak. While some see this as a sign of economic stability, it also raises questions about worker confidence and job mobility. ???Workers Staying Put:?With fewer opportunities in cooling sectors like tech and law, many are opting for job security over risky career moves. ???Sector Disparities:?While some industries slow down, healthcare and hospitality are still hiring. The labor market isn’t cooling evenly. ???Wage Growth & Productivity Risks:?Less job-hopping could mean wage stagnation and lower productivity if workers feel stuck rather than empowered. ???Fed’s Influence:?High interest rates are cooling the job market, but layoffs remain low—a sign that businesses are holding onto talent. Is this a healthy recalibration, or are we seeing the early signs of a sluggish job market? What’s your take? Drop your thoughts below! ?? #JobMarket #CareerTrends #Hiring https://lnkd.in/eET5AxHC
