Personal thanks to Everlyn for carving out time to deliver the important message :)

Everlyn is a seasoned Finance Leader who is presently leading the helm with a global consulting company.

Not only did Everlyn throw in her 'two-cents worth' of advice to the jobseekers, listen closely as she sprinkled actionable suggestions for #employers & #diversegroups as well - very cool !!

Here are some useful (albeit approximate) time stamps to help with your listening:

07:53 Advise to employers to give diverse talent a chance, yay!

Adjustments & Assumptions when communicating:

14:05 with a younger (or early career) workforce

19:34 Practical tips on how to harness the power of social media & technological tools to bridge our communications gap.

20:11 A reminder for all employers to look inward:

"If someone competent still cannot deliver, 70% of it is likely to be due to your processes and 30% due to their skills"

28:01 Example of the adjustments members of the homogenous team need to make to include one from the heterogenous side.

(Useful analogy for jobseekers to empathize with the target employer & environment, beyond the mere age differences).

42:19 Advice to matured workforce when working with (relatively) younger managers.

Trivia Question - Guess the age of the senior hire Everlyn had in her team …

Answer - at 43:13!

Everlyn closed with a quotable quote for employers

1:05:29 "If you never see them through that filter, they will never feel like they are different"

Jobseekers, look for hiring managers who thinks, empathize and walk-the-talk like Everlyn!!
