Grey Search + Strategy

Happy #LaborDay from all of us at Grey Search + Strategy! Today we're celebrating the talent, dedication and grit of all workers – whether you're leading a team, navigating your career path, or searching for a new opportunity. Enjoy a well-deserved day of rest and reflection!

It's easy to get caught up in the latest social media trends, including when it comes to career advice. But not all advice is created equal. A recent article highlights the dangers of following some of the questionable tips circulating on TikTok, where unverified "experts" may not have the experience or credentials to back up their claims.   Some of the "cringe" advice circulating: - Embellish your resume - Spam job sites with generic documents - Act your wage - Rehearse scripted interview answers - Hoard backup offers   Grey has helped place many candidates in their dream roles, so believe us: TikTok is not the place to get career advice!   We're curious, what's the worst #CareerAdvice you've received? https://lnkd.in/egwiCu8a

"Alissa Henriksen isn’t in danger of being in Madeleine Albright’s hell for not supporting women. She and her husband, Lucas Henriksen, founders of Grey Search + Strategy, are committed to women in everything from the way they lead their team and how they interact with recruits to the companies they place with and the organizations they support."   We're proud to share this recognition from Finance & Commerce's Empowering Women 2024!

Unexpected news last week: a federal judge blocked the FTC’s proposed ban on worker noncompete agreements. The delay is a potential missed opportunity for both employees and employers.   For employees, noncompete agreements can hold back career growth and limit opportunities, keeping talented professionals from reaching their full potential.   For employers, noncompetes prevent them from being able to tap into a wider talent pool, bringing in fresh perspectives and innovative ideas, and building more dynamic workplaces.   What’s your take on this delay? We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments! https://lnkd.in/e-FR8WP5

On National Dog Day, we celebrate the unwavering love, loyalty, and joy that our furry companions bring into our lives. Dogs have a way of knowing just when we need a nuzzle, a wagging tail, or the comfort of their quiet presence. They teach us about unconditional love, resilience, and living in the moment. For those with dogs, today is a reminder to cherish every playful bark, every cuddle on the couch, and every adventure with our four-legged friends. #PuppyParents #FurryFriends
