Welcome to our blog series, The Rise of the Millennial Employee! There's a lot of talk out there about Millennials who are entering the workforce in droves. And we believe there is much to be learned on both sides of the fence; Millennials have many great insights to offer their GenX and Baby Boomer colleagues and these experienced co-workers have career tips and advice to share. That's why we have brought together Alison Guillaume, our Resource Specialist Program Manager, and Kaila Orn, an Eliassen Group Consultant Liaison, to share their individual perspectives. Alison kicks things off with this piece on building your personal brand:

Congratulations on landing the interview! It’s a great feeling to know you got the attention of that prospective employer. So, what are you going to do to make sure your skills and talent shine through? You’ve got some work to do – and that needs to happen before, during and after the job interview!

If you’re a recent college grad, you’re ready to get out there and jumpstart your career. That said, it can be tough to get a foot in the door at the right company and in the right position.

Our clients and IT consultants know us as a premier tech staffing company with knowledgeable recruiters and an outstanding Consultant Advocate Program. But if you hadn’t noticed, there are no college or university programs surrounding the recruiting industry. Thus, it’s incumbent upon Eliassen Group to identify candidates who have strong potential for growth and leadership who are interested in the field of recruiting and then to provide them with a world-class training program that not only prepares them to become recruiters but also helps them to explore opportunities in sales and business development.

Congratulations! You’ve made it to your last semester of college. You’ve gotten through the exams, projects and internships and now you’re ready to go out and take on the world, right? You’re likely about to enter that next phase – finding the right career opportunity.
