Employment Consultant's Essentials
Your main job is to get your jobseekers into jobs, right?
Are you passionate, driven and dedicated to helping people overcome their employment barriers and gain meaningful, sustainable employment, but you grow tired from unmotivated jobseekers, indifferent employers and a system that neglects effort?
If you knew how to identify highly valuable skills, attributes and qualities in a jobseeker that were neglected and misunderstood, but could result in an ideal job, would that knowledge be valuable?
If you could re-empower jobseekers with the understanding that their PTS qualities are "exclusive gifts" that, with a little shift in perspective, make them a highly valuable person to society, would that be valuable?
The transition from operational service to a civilian role can itself be disruptive and traumatic as the person is forced to question their purpose and role in life and society. This applies regardless of whether they were in national or community service roles. They have suddenly gone from being valued as a "rescuer" to invisible, without uniform (which, by the way, is the core factor of their identity). This applies to mostly to emergency services and defence personnel.
Perhaps the most practical place to break the intergenerational cycle of trauma is in the workplace. Giving a person with PTS a sense of purpose and worth after service to their community or country is fundamental in re-establishing their identity and sense of value to themselves, their family and their community.
While there may be ample employment opportunities available for those who have served us, they may have limited capabilities to operate at a functional level when their skills and qualities are misunderstood.
Helping employers find the perfect employees is what it's all about, and often these candidates are hiding in plain sight. Often they don't know they have these qualities because the system has convinced them that they are a burden to themselves, their family and society in general.
This has to be the best win-win ever.
Think about it... employment has everything to do with identity and worth. You are judged and valued by what you do for a "job". It's one of the first questions you are asked when being introduced to someone, or when catching up with friends: "So, what do you do?". "How's work going?" Your employment role gives you social status. It assigns levels of respect and expectations. It determines how others treat you.
When a service person goes from wearing their uniform to wearing civilian work clothes they loose that identity, worth, status and respect.
Reminding them of their unique qualities reminds them they have a cape beneath that suit they wear into the interview. It re-empowers them.
