LEAWOOD, Kan. - July 12, 2018 - PRLog -- BCS Overland Park/Leawood, KS says that with the unemployment rate at historical lows, employers are looking to fill millions of jobs. For that reason, job hunting is better than it's been in nearly a decade. The demand is particularly strong for service industry jobs and health care with American employers looking to fill 6.6 million jobs across all sectors. With the unemployment rate so low nationwide, higher levels of job openings suggests that good companies are having a harder time finding skilled workers. Small businesses are particularly aggressive in hiring, with about half of the open jobs being posted by companies with fewer than 500 employees. In a survey posted by the National Federation of Independent Businesses, small businesses reported that the shortage of qualified workers was a major issue affecting their operations in the second quarter. Moody's Analytics anticipates that because it is an employee's job market, workers can anticipate getting a bump in compensation when they switch jobs.

A good suit can cost up to $1,000 — here's how to figure out if you need to buy one for work

You might not need to wear a suit to an interview, your first day of work, or other tricky work situations.
Those in banking or law will likely need to wear a suit to work many days, and especially to interviews, but other industries are more business casual.

"Do I need to wear a suit?"

It's a question you might ask yourself in various professional situations: before a job interview, pre-networking event, and while compiling a work wardrobe.

Because a high-quality suit can cost up to $1,000, you probably don't want to buy one if you don't have to.

And you might be able to be perfectly appropriate without it.

16 signs you’re underpaid — and what to do about it — Careers

You might be underpaid and need ask for a raise.
Glassdoor.com found in a survey that the majority of its users are underpaid — by $4,700 on average.
Here are some signs that your salary is too low and you ought to ask for a raise, as well as steps to do it.

Feeling like you might be underpaid can be one of the most disheartening aspects of work.

"It stands to reason, because for many, compensation is a concrete litmus test of how well you're performing and progressing on the job — and how highly you're valued," said Lynn Taylor, a national workplace expert and the author of "Tame Your Terrible Office Tyrant: How to Manage Childish Boss Behavior and Thrive in Your Job."

What's crucial, if you realize you are underpaid, is to ask for a bump— not suffer in silence.

"The important thing to remember is that if you don't ask the answer is always no," career and wellness coach Joanna Echols told Business Insider. "Even if you don't get the raise right away, and you are an exceptional performer, the raise discussion with your boss is a great opportunity to reinforce your accomplishments and explain your future plans of adding more value to the company."

People are quitting their jobs in droves this year — and getting record-setting pay boosts because of it

Job switchers are earning 48% higher annual pay increases in 2018 than those who stay in their jobs, according to data from the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta.
The pay raise gap between job seekers and job stayers hasn't been this big since 2000.
The Wall Street Journal reported on July 4 that more workers are quitting their jobs and taking advantage of a labor market that's prioritizing employees over employers.

The tight labor market has stressed out fast food managers, trucking executives, and other managers. But it's a boon for other working Americans who want a pay raise, according to a Wall Street Journal article published on July 4.

With 6.7 million job openings, compared to the record low of 2.4 million in July 2009, workers are increasingly able to change jobs that provide them better salaries.

From January to May 2018, Americans who switched jobs enjoyed 48% larger annual salary boosts than those who didn't move jobs, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. Job switchers in 2018 have reported median pay increases by 4%, compared to median increase of 2% by the job stayers.

At a 1.3 percentage point difference, it's the largest gap between switchers and stayers seen since 2000, a Business Insider analysis of the Fed data found.

PRESS RELEASE - SEP 17, 2015 17:01 EDT - UPDATED: SEP 17, 2015 17:04 EDT

Overland Park, KS, September 17, 2015 (Newswire) -BCS Overland Park says that job hunting in a changing economy is a continuous process and requires job seekers to always be aware of market conditions both in and outside of the current industry employed in. Transferable skills and accomplishments need to be identified in order to penetrate companies within various industries. The job selection process is more complicated than ever and employers can pick and chose candidates based on their needs. However, the best jobs don’t necessarily go to the most qualified candidates but to those who are the best at job hunting. Odds of finding a great position increase dramatically by using a methodical job hunting approach.

BCS Overland Park, KS Says There Are Several Things Job Seekers Can Do to Ease the Stress

Overland Park, KS, August 14, 2015 --(PR.com)-- BCS Overland Park, KS says there are several things job seekers can do to ease the stress of the job search while speeding the process along. One rule of thumb says that it will take one month of job searching for every $10,000 of salary that you were earning; if you were making $70,000 it will take seven months. There are several areas that can be addressed to minimize the process including defining target markets as well as assessing your transferable skill sets and how they fit into those markets. If you are only applying to jobs online and not effectively networking, this alone can as much as double the length of the search. Resumes and cover letters should highlight skills and achievements to demonstrate transferable skills and be customized for the particular opportunity.

BCS Overland Park Kansas Launches New Website

BCS Overland Park Kansas announced today that they have launched a new website,http://www.bcskansasnews.com, featuring employment and job search related news. The purpose of the site is to showcase current news and events about the company, employment news, press releases and other job search information.

BCS in Overland Park says they get complaints from time to time that there is not enough of this type of information available. According to a spokesperson for BCS, the website was also born out of a need to better inform the public about their firm. BCS says, “This site will provide important news, surveys, and executive search information.”

Plans to launch similar informational sites are in the future as demands arise. The BCS spokesperson said, “We sometimes hear that people would like to learn more about us. Being a regionally based firm, we don’t have the national recognition of some other firms.” BCS feels that their regionally based business model is their strength since the majority of job seekers who come to them are looking for employment in the Kansas City area.

The new site does not replace their main website for BCS Kansas. That site is to remain their primary web portal for both new and existing clients.

BCS Overland Park provides search assistance to executives in career transition, using a combination of state of the art technology and proven techniques that surpass typical recruiting methods.

The dreaded interview – How to prepare – Part 1

Jun8

Originally posted on Confessions of the undefinable:

We have all been there; been invited to an interview and feeling excited for the opportunity. However, as the interview approaches, a feeling of dread rises in our mind. “What if I don’t make it? What if I say the wrong thing?” And numerous other “What ifs” that can stress you even more instead of making you relax. So some steps need to be followed that will help in a possibly better outcome during the interview, even if you don’t get the job in the end.
