This is insane: I took a break year after I finished my doctorate, but nevertheless even then I still applied for job placement per accreted specialty (ies) & with conferring (per my knowledge) extenuation into bouncing back. Yet, no HRs considered to give me a shot for even a temp. or 'rookie' (a term becoming very populated lately) vacancy, while I still gain new skills and get richer and more knowledgeable with self-training every single day. The term break year is usually referred to as a gap year by the occupational specialists (do a bing/google search for 'break year', e.g. https://lnkd.in/dG75vxM6), but these never get to recognize any of these achievements I've accumulated. Now I'm patching up multiple (for various jobs, if any at all - as prior noted) simplified job portrait overlay (s) (e.g., www ivanstefanov.com/ wp-uploads/2023/09/CV.html), which I guarantee that shouldn't be hasted in interpreting, because I can say for certainty from my perspective, with my willingness and desire to begin a job, that the one giving me an opportunity will increase their company's capacity and get added value in every aspect from the amazing work I promise that I will do if they and whoever hires me.  Today also I got the good news of getting recognized in the face of Microsoft by their Christina Thoresen (Director, Education Industry Team, WW Education), Sonja Delafosse (Director, Education Empowerment Programs, WW Education) plus Kailee Parker (Program Manager, WW Education) experts as an MIE expert, now officially. 

🚀 Empowering Tier 2 and 3 City Students: Unveiling Exciting Career Avenues! 🌟 Hello LinkedIn Community, In our ever-evolving world, it's crucial that we expand our horizons when it comes to career choices. 🌐 While traditional professions hold immense value, there's a treasure trove of alternative career paths waiting to be explored, especially by students in tier 2 and 3 cities. We need to create the awareness among students in villages and small towns. There are equally rewarding career options other than the mainstream ones like engineering, medicine, UPSC etc Why is it so important to shed light on these lesser-known opportunities? Here are some compelling reasons: 🌟 Diverse Talents: Smaller cities are brimming with unique talents and skills. By introducing unconventional careers, we can unlock the potential of these gifted individuals. 📊 Reducing Unemployment: Mainstream careers in big cities often lead to stiff competition and job scarcity. Encouraging diverse career options can ease this burden and create new job prospects. 🏢 Economic Growth: Empowering students in smaller cities can lead to local economic development, spawning new businesses and industries. 🌈 Personal Fulfilment: Each person is unique, and their career should reflect their passions. Alternative paths allow students to find jobs that align with their interests, leading to greater job satisfaction. 🌍 Global Perspective: Many non-mainstream careers have a global scope. Exploring these options can connect students with international networks and contribute to a globalized workforce. To make this happen, let's collaborate on initiatives like career guidance seminars, workshops, and mentorship programs in these regions. Together, we can bridge the information gap and empower the youth to pursue diverse career paths, fostering their growth and our nation's development. I'm eager to hear your thoughts and ideas on this important matter. Let's connect and explore ways we can inspire the next generation of professionals in tier 2 and 3 cities.

Exploring High Tech is an exciting journey, but many newcomers face challenges when it comes to landing a job in IT. 🚀 🤔 Issue 1: Experience vs. Job Openings Many employers require experience, creating a catch-22 for beginners.

Advice: focus on mastering fundamental skills and gradually delve into more complex technologies. 💡 Tips for Beginners: Create a portfolio showcasing projects and skills. Participate in hackathons and communities. Use online courses to learn new technologies.

#Microsoft #culture #talent #campushiring Recently, I had an opportunity to interact with a bunch of relatively fresh campus hire across disciplines and was fascinated by how much things have changed in the past decade. For one, they are frank, honest, curious and yet polite and really invested in their careers. A few interesting questions I received "What do you love most about your role, what do you like the least" "What does your team love the most in you and like the least in you?" and another from a young woman "Is diversity just a number?" I don't remember having such courage to be really curious and I also don't think the organizations I have known earlier were contemporary. If you want good talent, then the older values hold true on hierarchy, diplomacy and conventional learning. If you want fantastic and sustainable talent, encourage them to be courageous, bold and exceptional. Promote curiosity and Innovation and invest in making it meaningful for them.

This month there are a lot of graduations. High School, University, Trades & Doctoral... One consistent thing I have heard throughout my career is 'we don't have enough young people learning the industry'. Well, what have you (your company) done to reach out to the graduates? What have you done to create opportunity for these folks? Does your group have a plan to develop careers and train the next generation? Unfortunately, the answer is all too often a resounding 'no', or we don't have time/resources. Can you afford not to build employee loyalty and the next generation? Opportunity knocks! Call those grads! #Graduation #nextsteps #Hiring
