It used to be hard, then it became easier with the accessibility of the internet. One could easily spread their resume into the wonderful world of the triple W's, feeling as though they had the world in their hands. Possibilities were endless, opportunities were all but unimaginable.
Then it became the norm, and employers stopped relying on the internet for effectively written resumes. Perhaps it was because they became so inundated with the new style of digital begging that what we typed became non-important.
Competition is heavy out there for a position in the workforce. Once you are in the workforce, it's even harder to understand the changes that have occurred. Human Resources no longer stands for the rights of the employees, rather, they have taken up sides with the employers to assist in the art of befuzzling the employees.
What do we as potential employees do in this regard? Think, act, be. As the world of work becomes more disingenuous towards us, we have to become more creative and almost force the working world to conform to our standards once again.
Create our own opportunities. Stand up against the things we refuse to agree to. The greatest problem we have to deal with isn't necessarily the one that involves management and business owners who don't have much of an idea as to what they really know will work in their businesses, it's co-workers who stand aside and don't demand the changes needed to bring about a more employment friendly, encouraging and supportive work environment. Co-workers who are happy just having a job and unhappy pushing for something better. Every job we have available to us can be better if we put forth the effort to actually change it. We work them every day, we see the processes. We have the authority to stand up and state whether or not things could be changed for the better.
What does all of this mean? Simple. Traditionalists, it's time to wreck things. It's time to step out of the safety boxes and demand better for not only ourselves, but our children, families, friends, enemies, every one. I want to work for a company that desires to empower every single employee to strive to be the best on every front. I don't want an obtuse management setup, I want fluidity and transparency. I want to know why I'm doing my job and what my motivations should be in order to be awesome at my job. I want to be empowered to want to manage.
Most of all, I want and deserve respect. We all do.
Let's strive to be more than what we allow others to tell us we are. Without employees, businesses don't run.
