Should I Accept a City Job Offer or Wait for $32K Severance? Answers: https://lnkd.in/g8sPsytP #JobDecisions #CareerChoices #SeveranceVsJobOffer Hey there, everyone! I could really use your insights on a tough decision I'm facing. ?? Let me break it down for you: Background: I've been grinding away at a sawmill in northern BC for the past decade. Recently, we got the news that our mill will close by the end of the year, and we're in for a severance package of about $32k—yup, that's 2 weeks of pay for each year of service. Right now, we’re all just waiting for the final closure date, which has everyone feeling stuck. ?? Current Situation: So here’s where it gets interesting! I was offered a laborer position with the City, which pays $36/hour. Currently, I make $40/hour at the sawmill. The catch? I’d need to start in two weeks, which means waving goodbye to my severance. Now, my experience is mostly tied to operating sawmill machinery, and transitioning to a different industry isn’t exactly easy—especially since I see most entry-level jobs starting around $25/hour. On one hand, this City job sounds like a golden opportunity considering my skills and current market...

In today's competitive roofing industry, the landscape has changed dramatically. Ten years ago, simply having a job opening meant you'd have a line of applicants. Now, the tables have turned, and it's the roofing contractors who are competing for the same limited pool of top talent. To attract the best, it's not enough to just post job openings or show off your latest projects. Contractors need to put themselves out there, get in front of a camera, and share their mission, vision, and values. People want to know who they're working for, what the company stands for, and what they can expect from the culture and leadership. I've noticed this first-hand when recruiting. Candidates often tell me, "Luke, I always see your face on LinkedIn. I see the things you're doing and what you're building, and I want to be a part of it." That’s the power of visibility and authenticity. It's about being unapologetically authentic, showing the world what you're all about, and letting your company's personality shine through. If you're a roofing contractor looking to attract top talent,?make sure you're visible. Use social media, especially LinkedIn, to showcase who you are as a leader, what your company values, and the unique opportunities you offer. Don't just focus on the technical aspects of the job—share your passion, your purpose, and why someone should want to join your journey. It's a crowded market out there, and the companies that stand out are the ones that build a strong employer brand and are present and engaging online. Get in front of the camera, tell your story, and let the best talent in the industry know why they should work with you.

Guns, Asphalt, and Hiring Candidates with a Growth Mindset. Last week, I had the opportunity to share this story with Walter Kearns at BuildWitt's Work Shop and wanted to pass it along. Our team recently partnered with an asphalt contractor in the Midwest looking for their next Lead Superintendent. They needed a leader of people, not just the largest projects. We met with a candidate who had great experience. We wanted to know more about their leadership style and how they dealt with their crews and people. We asked: "How are you actively growing and developing yourself professionally? Tell me more about how this plays into your leadership style." Candidate: "I'm working on how to manage my anger better on job sites." I paused and appreciated the honesty. Tell me more. "I have incredibly high standards for job sites and keeping projects on schedule. I can't stand delays and poorly kept job sites." Love a guy who is passionate about QC. "...but, I did threaten to shoot someone the other day on a job site. I would've if I had my gun..." I laughed and thought he was kidding. He wasn't. Obviously, this guy was hired on the spot! (kidding) Pro-tip: Ask questions and be quiet. You'll be surprised by what you will hear.

Like other businesses in the hardwood lumber industry, hiring new top-performing employees is critical. Whether that be foresters, sawmill managers, lumber sales people or hardwood lumber buyers, attracting the right candidate is important to our success. We have found emphasizing our company purpose and values, to be very helpful in differentiating our company with candidates. Here are a few ways we have found it to be helpful. #thebailliegroup #hardwoodlumber #hardwoods #forestry #careers

We hire people who are hungry for growth. People who aren’t just looking for a paycheck. We’re looking for those who want more. The ones who see an entry-level position as a launching pad. Not a dead end. That’s why it doesn’t matter if you’re starting as a laborer in a ditch or stepping into an office role. You’ve got potential. Every hire is a commitment to invest in the future of our workforce. Because our belief is simple: People can build something incredible no matter where they start. And it’s about finding those willing to push boundaries and expand their skills. Not just do the work. Anchor is building more than just infrastructure. We’re building careers. And we’re looking for those ready to build with us. #construction #anchorconstruction #utilities

“I accidentally found my dream job.” This was said to me today by a former educator that is now in our industry. He went on to express how after he retired from his educator role of 30+ years, he poked around and applied for a laborer position at a paving company, and it changed everything. Yes, you read that right. At this stage in his life, he actively looked for another job... IN CONSTRUCTION...AS A LABORER! A physically demanding job. I’ll be introducing you to my new friend, Jim, very soon as we are working together on a couple things. I left with this smile on my face. This was my first in person meeting for Blue Collar Open Book and I was in my new company gear. I couldn't have asked for it to go better. For now, I wanted to get your thoughts regarding a new pool of potential employees. What about the group of early retirees (those in law enforcement, teachers, etc.) that now have time they don’t know what to do with? Maybe they feel financially stable and are willing to try a new industry… Would they potentially be more dependable employees at this stage in their life? How would you feel hiring somebody knowing they only have 5 or 10 years left in them? Would you count them out? Let me know! #workforcedevelopment #dirtworld #buildyourpath #bluecollaropenbook?
