Good morning. It’s Sunday November 12, 2017 and this is your first early morning Jobs briefing!
 
3 questions for Young & Rubicam Group’s Madeline Park, Chief of Talent and Operations, about the company’s new 12-week career reboot program, PowerOn, designed to help parents and caregivers re-enter the workforce. 
 
Cynopsis: What are the skills people who have been absent from the workforce most need to brush up on?
Madelin Park: Every candidate is going to be unique in what they’ve done since they left the industry. The PowerOn program offers a curriculum that helps participants brush up and build their skills in a variety of areas – ranging from business writing and storytelling, to time management, social marketing and updated software knowledge as well as emerging technology. 

Cynopsis: What are the advantages of hiring from this group?
Park: Their past career successes in our industry, combined with their time as caregivers, brings a wealth of knowledge and insights that are enormously beneficial to clients. Having taken a step away, they come back to offer fresh perspectives, ideas and approaches.

Cynopsis: What do you find is the biggest challenge in filling open job positions?
Park: The biggest challenge is breaking down unconscious bias. When recruiters see a gap in your resume, particularly when that gap is so lengthy, they may not always consider the possibilities. We want to break down these misconceptions, and help these talented professionals jump back into the industry.

Inspirational Quote:

 
The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. –Amelia Earhart
