WHAT OCCUPATIONS HAVE THE GREATEST POTENTIAL FOR SERVING AS SPRINGBOARDS
TO HIGHER PAYING JOBS AND CAREERS?

Not every occupation has the same potential for future wage growth. Some grow at faster rates than others, but how do you identify them? This new tool from the Department of Labor can show you how workers in mid-level occupations can experience wage growth over time. It will show you how people move through specific jobs and occupational clusters to earn more money. This information can help you identify “launchpad” occupations that are associated with higher wage growth. Click here to learn more.

FIVE DRAWBACKS TO FOLLOWING YOUR PASSION

“Follow your passion” is one of the most common suggestions that workforce development staff give to job seekers. But this seemingly innocent idea can actually cause a lot of problems for the people you serve. You need to understand all the implications of this kind of advice before you say it. This article is a must-read for staff that recommends the passion approach to employment. Click here for the article.
WANT TO IMPROVE CASE MANAGEMENT?
HOW TO WRITE A REJECTION THANK YOU LETTER

Typically, when most people find out that they did not get the job, that is the end of their contact with the employer. This is a huge mistake! A well-crafted thank you letter could get the candidate hired! This excellent article explains why these letters are important and provides some great information about how to craft one that could lead to a job offer. Click here for the article. 
THAT’S IT FOR 2022!

I want to wish you the best for 2023! I hope it is filled with joy for you and your loved ones and justice, kindness, and peace in the world. Please take some time to figure out what you are going to do in the new year to take care of yourself as you do this incredibly challenging work. I’ve been in workforce development for over 50 years, and I have never seen so many challenges come our way. There is an old saying, “You can’t water flowers using an empty glass.” Many times, I think we are like gardeners helping people grow to their fullest extent in the world of work. But you can only help those flowers blossom if there is water in your glass. 
 
The goal of this work is not to work as hard as you can. If you take that approach, you will be able to help some people but not for long. The goal is to be able to do the work as well as you can for as long as you can. If you take care of yourself as you take care of others, you will be able to help more people for a much longer period of time. 
 
I look forward to reconnecting with you in 2023! If you have any feedback about the newsletter or want information about the more than 100 webinars I offer, please email me at larry@larryrobbin.com. Take care!
