1. Pay Job Candidates for Interviews

Back in 2021, as a result of hearing from many disgruntled job candidates about their negative job interview experiences, I suggested that there should be a nominal payment given to all interviewees to acknowledge the time and effort it takes to prepare for and attend an interview.

My reason? To make recruiters and decision-makers more accountable for their recruitment practices.

I was taught that you should never interview more than three candidates for a role way back in the 1990’s!

As we wrap up 2023, LinkedIn picked up on this topic as one of the 15 Big Ideas that will change Australia in 2024 as it is now gaining more traction.

Story. My second book, ‘120 Ways To Attract The Right Career Or Business‘ shared a range of stories to help people understand successful strategies for attracting opportunities. At this time of the year, we have the opportunity to review our internal stories and our life’s narrative. What would we like our life to look like next year and into the future?

If we keep sharing the same stories, we may keep achieving the same results. What parts of your story would you like to leave in the past and what parts would you like to continue in the future? If you would like to reflect on this in your own way, consider completing the mind map via this link, on paper, not in your head.

Enjoy the rest of your day and cheers for now, Sue
