⟩ Tell me in your response on our HR Council form, you mentioned the importance of job seekers being mindful of aligning their personal beliefs and passion with the organization’s mission. How can job seekers effectively do this?
It begins with self-reflection and awareness. Understanding what is important to you. What issues or causes do you find yourself drawn to? What magazines do you want to pick up and read? Why? When you’re around something you are committed to, you’ll find yourself excited and engaged in it. It’s usually a visceral reaction yet it also takes some trial and error.
For me, I didn’t initially want to work in health care. It evolved and it’s really about caring for members of our community. Although I am not a clinician who provides hands on or direct care, in my role I support those who do the direct care. To get to this point, I needed to do some self reflection and some dabbling. I thought education was what I wanted and it certainly was interesting for me. At end of day, what drove my decision was being part of the LVHN talent community. I think it’s the people in your organization that truly make that organization. If organizations don’t attract, recruit, develop, and keep great people, the organization will hollow out.
