Here is a quick tip for business college students who are struggling to get a job: start a small business. You have the necessary knowledge to to your market research, find a product, market the product and start making some money. Yes, it most likely won't become your main source of income but it's a win-win situation, you'll get hands-on job experience which you desperately need, you'll make some money, you'll create a side-hustle to complement your income and you might find out that you don't need a job and it could become your main source of income. I find it so sad, but people tend to forget that getting a job is not the only way to make some money, especially business grads. You have the necessary skill set to create a small business, the amount of time you're spending while you're 100% sure you won't get a job because you lack the experience is mind boggling!

I actually got a job where they were actually hiring older people for the roles.

You're basically saying we need to be Yes men, because thats what the people that are behind closed doors are. All Yes men that do the bidding of the CEO. I have worked at this job at USIC for 6yrs, started at 14.50 and just got to 25. You know what starting pay is now? 20... You can only say take charge of your career when in reality you will never be able to because unless you're willing to bend over and be a bitch you will never get promoted. Just the facts.

It is just not worth it these days. Easier just to go work somewhere else.

For the love of God just let the video play through!

It's an informative video but very annoying that you interrupt the video so often. Why not let it play through and then do the review?

I have worked for very few places that promote. "You are good at your job and if I promote you I need to replace a good worker, so we will just get a new hire."

It's a popularity contest, just like high school, the more things change the more they stay the same. Hard work doesn't mean s@#t, it a just comes down to how f@ckable you are. So backwards, that is why the country is so messed up. But like almost everything, it boils down to sex.

I’ve always known I don’t get promoted because I have a spine, but my ability to sleep soundly at night vastly outweighs any increased honours coming from a promotion

Young lady had her ducks in a row. HR was running off of a false playbook written on a paper napkin.

This was just a ad

I did recall that they declined me for a promotion for a few years before they promoted me. It's usually a political decision, it's not about who the best employee is at all. Maybe there's no open positions available, but usually they just want to push certain employees around...

I think you can't go against your nature. I see people struggle unendlessly to get a promotion and a manager position. Me? All I want is to be left alone and do my thing. My company knows, and lets me be.

It's like they say. High school never ends.

It's very important to realise that an interview is a two way thing. YOU are interviewing them. Ask them the questions that you need the answers to. I've just turned down 3 jobs because they weren't right for me. You will automatically be more desirable, when you don't go in to an interview begging them for something. Know your worth. Don't be arrogant, but realise that they're not doing you a favour. You're earning them money and they need you as much as you need them. And if it's not right for you, then just keep looking and have faith. But reflect honestly on yourself, try to look at why they might reject you. They'll have hundreds of people who could all do the job, you have to be somebody they're looking for. But you've been employed before, you'll be employed again. And maybe consider if you could work for yourself.

Got promoted 4-5 times, but then found out the lower positions were eliminated, which means new hires with less much qualifications were automatically “promoted”. For folks hired via “special programs”, they were also promoted without doing anything extra.

We should also talk about those who don't want a promotion (because they don't like managing people, for instance)...and get promoted anyway !

Yea a "friend" just stabbed me in the back and got me fired. I've found another job, but I hate that cnt for being such a snake. I try to philosophise that I'm on a better path. I am getting paid more money and doing what i like to do. But still.

is the take away that you should report straight to the boss's boss, in order to get noticed and appreciated ? why bother reporting to that middle manager who dedicates 90% of his time playing office politics, who sees you as a threat to his own job, and who may say bad things about you, to his own boss, behind your back ? Also, not being promoted, yet doing a job that feels fulfilling and helps as a result, to maintain good mental health, is not necessarily bad.

thanks man, im already doing your straggly / and was not sure if i was doing it right, so i know im good

If you are too good at your job, or are essential at your post, you won't be promoted, because there is no replacement for you.

Adding to the reputation part of it - If you rub certain people the wrong way even once, it can ruin your tenure

If you want to be promoted. Start your own business and stop being a stupid servant waiting for someone to take a look into you. Only psychopaths climb because they work on backstabbing you

My boss said she loves me how the **** I’m gonna know that. People say things just to make u stay but don’t really care about what u got going on in personal life Bosses only care about their money

There are horizontal and vertical promotions. I wanted a horizontal promotion, but got offered a vertical one first. I took it to get into the spaces with the decision makers and then leveraged it to get the horizontal promotion I wanted. I ended up leaving for another company because the vertical promotion made me a more desirable candidate and they offered an even better horizontal promotion. Now that horizontal promotion some people have to fight years for, if they ever get it at all, I got within months and I can let go of the vertical promotion I didn't really want anyway. I'm also making way more money now without the hassle of that vertical promotion than I did with it.

Silly me! I've been enjoying your videos without being subscribed.

Im wondering if i made the right choice i went back to construction because i was planning on being a apprentice in plumbing. I wasn't really conviced i always felt that i could make the same money with I.T especially web dev and software dev which are both my interest my college has certifcate programs in those fields and i would be getting them for free so now im wondering if i made the right choice to walk away from plumbing i believe i did but im still stuck on that.

Very true - although paid pretty well and thought of as some kind of 'expert' I'm pigeonholed and no chance of promotion. But then again I've also learnt to knock off at 4pm every day, never work more than 40 hours a week and refuse any tasks which would be too difficult from an hours point of view - what are they gonna do - fire me? Go ahead, I don't really mind as the extra time I have means I make nearly as much money on the side these days.

This is not true for all fields- just in corporate America. It takes some years in technical fields to actually develop your skills and then get promoted. This is why I work a gate-kept state job with good pay and benefits. I don't need the rat race. I could have moved up in my last profession but the pay would still have been fairly low

Been on both sides of the fence, I always did my best to be on time for interviews whether I was interviewing or being interviewed because time is valuable for both parties.

Thankfully I don't care about getting promoted. Thankfully I have found what I actually want to do in my career and my current job is going to pay for a lot of the certificates I will use when I leave 😂

Thanks for sharing this. I can take this information with me to help with my professional brand. Shame that I didn't know this from years gone by.

If they dont promote you, walk.

Cronyism, especially in the public sector.

Hate to say this, but you have to play politic in the office in order to be promoted. You need both the hard and soft skills to build your social capital. For most it's just better to job hop, as most are either: a) A rockstar top performer but is not very social b) A all talk but no work person.

The double standard is rea but also warrented. If you quit with respect the rehirability remains. If they fire you then odds are they will never rehire you. Also many areas of work will call a prior employer for a reference. Dont give them anything to use against you.

I finished schooling with a policy degree with a minor in economics and had international research experience in Tokyo with a think tank that only took Masters and PhD candidates, I was the only undergrad they took working on U.N. research. After graduating I sent out 3,685 applications and customized my resume for each one with a cover letter to boot. When I was finally hired at my first job, I was working in municipal government as an analyst to cover maternity leave. Now I’m in the provincial government as a senior advisor here in Canada. My advice, just keep trying. I know it’s hard but I’ve been there, just be tenacious and never get impatient. I’ve been ghosted, had harsh rejections, and even mocked by a lot of HR people where they copied and pasted a part of my cover letter as part of a rejection they sent. Trust me, there’s always light at the end of the tunnel. That kid should also accept that he may not work in the field he studied in, that’s just the reality of life.

"Get the knee pads out and pucker up!" is what i got out of this 😅

Realizing this pushed me to resign from my last job. Thought I'd proven myself over the past 2 years. My manager elected me to an esteemed committee, my co-worker said I should be ASM, clients spoke highly of me too. However leadership told me to my face that my department had no promotions. Every department did except mine. Approaching my 2 year anniversary, I spoke with the CEO directly about designing a path upwards for me. It was either up, or out. I was even okay with just a title change. Anniversary comes around, guess what I got? A thank you email and an Uber Eats gift card. I was already out the door, but it was the final nail in the coffin. They didn't even try to make a counteroffer with my new position. All of this was a harsh reality check: they didn't care about my department, so they didn't care about my value or growth. Sidenote: I also wasn't in the "circle" of employed family members/close friends of the higher ups.

I'm eternally grateful to one of my previous employers for giving me a layoff story that I can share at interviews and with friends. The employer was leasing an office space but was planning to move to a new unit. They requested planning permission to move the toilets in the new unit. They decided to not to renew the lease on their existing office space before receiving planning permission on their new unit. Yeah, uh, that was a mistake, as they had to explain to me that they did not get the planning permission and thus did not have an office to do business from, or for me to work from.

Not interested in a promotion, just let me do my work and pay me.

Reason number 247 as to why I always hot every 3-4 years.

gd, we life in such a petty society.

You put an extra “is” in every sentence in which you use the word: “The problem is is that you are not seen as leadership material.” Regarding the subject matter, it’s really sad that we needed to know these things before starting our careers. it’s not even about work ethic or knowledge. It’s all about perception and BSing with those in power instead of doing work.

The bigger the company the bigger problem this is. I couldn't get promoted at my previous position. I moved to a new organization and became Regional Director for NYC. Where I used to work they are pissed, when they look at my Linked In page.

Good information. Also kind of explains why the US is going down the tubes as promotions and rewards are being based on subjective factors and social factors instead of actual work ethics and knowledge. Rest of the world does not operate like this.

I worked at a corporation with a woman who was promoted five levels from analyst to vp in 5 years. I later learned she was having a physical relationship with the boss. They divorced their spouses and later married. Unbelievable.

Why is it that every employer tells you how important you are, while making you feel like a cheap prostitute? This must be why so many people are freelancing or starting their own businesses.

I'm so glad I just watched your video. I won't be applying for any corporate recruiter positions after watching this. I'm currently an HR Generalist and I do a lot of recruiting but I never have that many reqs to work on at one time nor am I measured on my time to fill. That just isn't the culture where I am. I don't work for a very corporate company and your video was a reminder that I don't want to. I think you just saved me! ☺
