Theres a Rising Demand For Child Care Providers - And Salaries Are Spiking.

Theres a Rising Demand For Child Care Providers - And Salaries Are Spiking. New statistics are showing salaries for after school caregivers are up 27%.  Why the spike? The rising demand for child care providers is evident virtually everywhere.   We asked  Connie Fong, VP of Brand at Care.com  to offer insight, including how this industry is ripe for career opportunity (moms looking to make extra money, college students, etc.) especially in today’s “gig economy.” What is the current demand for child care providers? We’ve found persistent demand, across the country, for quality in-home child care providers â€" it’s a rewarding career path, with rising wages, and can provide flexible hours for students or women looking to re-enter the workforce. These can be full-time jobs or part-time positions working for families who need after-school care. And, while researchers say automation will affect nearly 50 percent of American jobs in the next 20 years, child care jobs are not expected to be among them. Why the spike in the industry and what does it mean for those looking to become a provider? One reason there’s a growing demand is that, over the past 40 years, the number of families where both parents work has doubledâ€"meaning the era when one parent stayed home with the kids is long gone. So   the supply of child care just isn’t keeping up with demand. About half of all Americans live in what’s called a “child-care desert” â€" a place where the demand for child care exceeds the supply of in-center care spots by three to one. In some bigger states, like California and New York, more than 60 percent of residents live in child-care deserts. While that can lead to frustrations for working parents â€"  who need reliable care in order to go to work â€"  it’s also an opportunity for in-home child-care workers, such as nannies and part-time caregivers like after-school sitters. In a recent study, we looked at these child-care deserts and found what we call a “job oasis”: 66 cities with a high demand and higher salaries for in-home child caregivers, such as nannies and babysitters. What should potential providers know about salaries? Nationwide, the weekly rate for nannies has risen over $100 over the past five years, and Care.com families offer pay of more than  $15 per hour on average. What’s more, we’ve found families will pay more for caregivers who bring more to the table. For example, nearly three in four families will pay more for a nanny with additional education, such as an early childhood education degree, and 64 percent will pay more for nannies with relevant skills, such as the ability to teach children a second language. Pay also varies by city and region. Many of the 66 “job oasis” cities identified by Care.com are large metropolitan areas: In New York City, for instance, caregivers make an average of $18.81 per hour. But the study also found that a child-care job oasis may sprout up where you least expect it. Some of the places with high demand for caregivers, high pay rates, and fastest-growing wages are in smaller cities and suburbs like Hartford, CT ($19.05/hr), Springfield, IL ($17.11/hr), and Sunnyvale, CA ($17.77/hr). In nine of the job-oasis cities Care.com studiedâ€"including Atlanta, GA, and Austin, TXâ€"the average wage for child-care workers is double that city’s minimum wage. What advice do you have for providers?  There are several steps we recommend to caregivers that can help them get the job. First, share information beyond ‘I like caring for kids’ to include more specific details such as their years of experience, the types of responsibilities they have had, and special skills or passions that may help with the job: Do you have skills in math? Do you play sports? Are you CPR certified? Families are looking for someone they can trust, and Care.com data shows that parents would pay more for a sitter with CPR safety training, which is a basic skill that can make any caregiver stand out from other candidates. Second, caregivers can build their reputation by encouraging families to leave reviews of their service. Profiles with reviews and connections to past families offer a level of confidence to a prospective employer, and Care.com data shows that reviews make candidates six times more likely to be contacted by families. Also, having a background check on file is extremely helpful in landing a job through our site. Even though a family can purchase a background check, caregivers can run their own and our data shows that when they do, they significantly increase their chances of being hired. which Finally, be proactive and responsive. That means both applying to jobs as well as responding in a timely manner when families reach out. Both approaches let families know a caregiver is responsive and serious about the job opportunity. About Care.com  Care.com is the world’s largest online marketplace for families to find care for their loved ones and for caregivers to find jobs. Since its founding in 2006, Care.com has been a mission-built organization advocating for accessibility to quality care for families and well-paying meaningful work for caregivers. Today, as a publicly traded company with more than 28 million members spanning 20 countries, Care.com has established itself as both an industry leader and a thought leader, taking significant steps forward in creating solutions to the massive care needs of families and professionalizing the care industry by ensuring that care workers are being paid fair and liveable wages as well as above board, giving them access to the critical benefits traditional employees take for granted, like Social Security, Medicare and Workers’ Compensation.

Why using Isu Resume Writing?

Why using Isu Resume Writing?The history of Isu resume writing dates back to the early 1990s. At that time, it was first used by skilled Japanese nationals to prepare for medical examinations. In today's times, the Isu resume has been known as one of the most efficient ways to make a good impression on employers.In Japan, Isu resume writing was first introduced in 1991 and has been widely used since then. The purpose of the Japanese version of the Isu resume is to showcase impressive skills and knowledge in an attempt to increase the chances of obtaining employment.The Isu resume is often used in an attempt to help students and young professionals increase their chances of success and get into the company of those who have the capability to do so. There are many people who may be facing difficulties when it comes to making themselves successful in this world. There are many people who are more interested in acquiring titles than actually learning how to actually become successful. Th is is where the Isu resume helps.The main purpose of the Isu resume is to be able to present the candidate with the opportunity to show off their capabilities without actually having to put forth the effort of creating the resume. The advantage of this is that it can be understood by other people without them having to go through the process of explaining what it is about. It can be a simple process that can be easily understood by any person no matter what his or her age may be.The Isu resume is also very useful for those who may not be able to write their own resume. Many students and adults who may need a quick overview of their education and previous jobs can look at the Isu resume writing in order to gain an overview of their entire life and career. They can then use this information to create their own resume should they be in need of it.Students who are in search of another way to prepare their resumes can also find value in the Isu resume writing. There are several ways to u se the Isu resume writing, from allowing it to be compiled for you to let others use it, to simply photocopying it. Students can use the Isu resume writing if they are working on the entrance exam for a university or school or for another highly competitive process.It can also be helpful to many people who may be in training groups. The Isu resume can also be useful for those who are helping others prepare for a career.

While some people prefer to write English resumes, others may find that the Japanese version is more beneficial. Of course, the language that is being written should be the one of the applicant's native language.

Face-to-Face Networking Youre Doing It Wrong!

Face-to-Face Networking You’re Doing It Wrong! Face-to-Face Networking; Get it Right! Are you ready for your next networking event? Before you go don’t make any of these classic bloopers: Arriving late No business cards No name tag (hint: bring your own) Hanging out with people you already know Last night, I went to a local face-to-face networking event. While all of the people were smart and professional, there were some behaviors taking place that all networkers should avoid. You can start avoiding them right now; well, ok, start at your next networking event. 1. Interrupting. Richard was showing me his company’s brochure and we were talking about the prices for his services. Suddenly, Kent walked right up to us, pointed to a table sign and cracked a terrible joke. He stayed around a little while, then left. Richard and I tried to get back on track. You need to “wedge in” to small groups of total strangers. Read the non-verbal clues and select those who are laughing, standing by the bar or food tables, standing behind a sponsorship table, or are looking around for new people to meet. 2. Tossing business cards on the table. Some of the sponsors and table hosts can be great to connect with. They usually paid for the sponsorship of the event and are committed to meeting and helping attendees. At this event, I was a table host and I had two people just do a “drive-by:” throw their cards on my table and walk on. Were they in a hurry? Do they do this with other networkers, too? Did they really expect to build a relationship that way? I treasure the way Asian cultures handle the business card exchange. To give your business card, you hold yours on one or both top corners and face the card to the other person. To accept their card, receive it on the bottom corners and read it carefully. Then engage in conversation about their role or what brought them to the event. 3. If you’re selling something, the follow up is in your court. A cool advertising executive I just met, and who knew that I might be interested in his services, handed me his card and said, “Call me if you need anything.” There’s an unwritten protocol, folks. Think about it this way. Usually, there is one person who needs something (the “networker”) and another who can possibly help them (the “networkee”). During the event, your role may change. However, when you are clearly the “networker” and seeking some form of support (selling something, needing a job, etc.) it is YOUR job to get the other person’s card and to follow up with them. 4. Stumbling with your elevator pitch. I witnessed Melissa asking John what he did. His answer was “Well, I’m not sure, which is why I’m here. I’m unhappy with my job so I’m here to find a new one.” Another person at the same event said, “I’m an I.T. geek.” Before you go to your next event, write out your elevator pitch. Keep it short, upbeat and compelling. Here’s a quick formula to nail it: I’m a current role… …and I’m here to meet people who…can become clients, are hiring managers, know of opportunities…etc. 5. Apologizing for networking. Sally and I were having a very fruitful conversation that was two-way (she could help me, I could help her). Then, when someone else politely joined our conversation, Sally apologized for taking my time! I couldn’t help but reply, with a smile, “Why are you apologizing? This is why we are here…to talk!” Do you remember the movie Jerry McGuire when Tom Cruise yelled, “Help me help you”? Please go to networking events knowing that other people go there with the intention of helping you. Be confident, positive, and engaging. Most importantly, follow up with the people you meet, even if you weren’t sure if they can help you or you can help them. These five “odd” behaviors took place throughout the event, and you can avoid them. Try “wedging in,” handing your card carefully to the other person, follow up quickly and appropriately, have a short succinct elevator pitch, and be confident and engaging. Face-to-face networking; now you’re doing it right!

The best questions to ask during a job interview

The best questions to ask during a job interview I once wrote about questions that YOU ask during an interview that sabotage your chances of winning the job. The big mistakes include asking about pay, asking about training programs, asking questions that you can easily find on the Internet, and not coming prepared to ask questions. Now I want to give you some of my favorite questions for a prospect to ask during an interview. Here they are: Im very self-motivated. How will you measure my success in this position after one full year? The first 30 days are very important for me to meet as many team members as possible. How will you recommend I do that? What are the Top 3 skills or experiences you are looking for that may not be mentioned in the job description? Of all of the people who have worked for you, what are the characteristics of those who have stood out as great performers? I have to admit Im a perfectionist in some areas. What are the aspects of this position that absolutely require precision and attention to detail? Of all of the criteria you have outlined for this position, what are the Top 3 in stack rank order? The position we are discussing is something I am very excited about. Can you give me feedback on how I am meeting your qualifications and if I will proceed to the next level of the hiring process? (This is called going for the close or asking for the order in sales.) As an experienced hiring manager and interviewer, I am impressed when a candidate brings out a piece of paper with their questions written out. Obviously, they are prepared, thoughtful and thorough. Its even better when they write down the answers under each question! Now thats the type of employee I need on my team. What a great example showing how that person will prepare for an important meeting.
