“We don’t hire people to bake brownies, we bake brownies to hire people.” I've posted about Greyston Bakery before, having met CEO Joseph Kenner at an event in Rome, but their "Open Hiring" approach is so novel that it came back into view again this year and is worth sharing. At Greyston, job seekers put their name on a list and when the next opening comes up, they get the job, no questions asked, no background checks or anything. What they are doing is unlocking human potential through inclusive employment. The magic question: how does a 40 year old company that bakes brownies for Unilever, Ben & Jerry's’s and Whole Foods Market keep their standards high enough to meet stringent customer requirements with this kind of hiring policy? A lot of it has to do with gratitude and loyalty. Greyston employees in many instances have been given a second chance at life, and they deliver because they're proud to have an opportunity that no one else was prepared to give them. This comes together in a magical way: employee engagement, profitability and social responsibility working hand in hand. It’s very courageous and bold, it's also very impactful. And who doesn't like brownies? Applying our minds, what other industries could this work in?

one thing that always let me know I was a good General Manager was when my District Manager and my Regional Manager would wanna have sit down meetings with me and say what can we do to make you happy and satisfied and make sure you won't leave us we will do whatever it takes because we need more "RiRi's" Rihanna like you your an out going employee and does whatever it takes to get the job done your definitely one of the best I was given a raise of the amount I requested they would brag to other Districts about me saying how I would go from my store to other stores that had no GM or AM and get it back into shape quickly like deep cleaning if needed and the proper way of training employees the correct way on how to do their jobs some employees had to be terminated but were replaced and then I started working on getting the sales back up and at times even higher then the sales were before I was even sent to stores where the whole entire crew walked out because their General Manager quit so I hired a completely new crew and trained them all the proper way then we had to heavily deep clean the store then work on drastically increasing store sells while serving the customers all at the same time and yes there were times when I ran the store by myself but I never complained because that was my decision that's what I wanted to do I am so proud I have my mother's work ethic...

From a seasonal hire to a Store Manager 🏢 In 2021, I embarked on a journey that I'll cherish forever – coming to Canada as an immigrant, armed with dreams💭 and determination💪 My first job was as a seasonal associate at Dollar Tree during the holidays. Little did I know that this was the first step towards an incredible transformation. ✨ Fast forward two years, and here I stand as the Store Manager at Showcase - Home of the Hottest Trends. The path was challenging, but oh, the rewards have been worth it! 🌟 Here are four learnings from my journey that I'd like to share with you: 1️⃣ Resilience is Key: In the face of adversity, I learned to adapt and bounce back stronger. Stay committed to your goals, no matter how tough the road may seem. 2️⃣ Embrace Opportunity: That seasonal job at Dollar Tree was my chance to prove myself. Always seize opportunities, even if they start small, for they can lead to something remarkable. 3️⃣ Continuous Learning: I absorbed knowledge like a sponge. Invest in self-improvement and growth; it pays off in the long run. 4️⃣ Help Others Climb: Now, as a Store Manager, I have the privilege of hiring seasonal associates. Remember, success is sweeter when you can uplift others too. Be a mentor, guide, and source of inspiration. 🌸My journey from a seasonal hire to a Store Manager wasn't easy, but it was incredibly rewarding. I hope my story inspires you to chase your dreams, embrace opportunities, keep learning, and always lend a helping hand to those on their own ascent. Your journey may be tough, but it's worth every step.✅

I haven’t posted recently about my day job, so here’s an update!! Yesterday we officially opened the 3rd brick and mortar location! Crazy right? In ONE year we have opened three completely new stores starting from less than nothing to be fully built, stocked, merchandised, staffed, and operating. This experience has been somewhat of a challenge, yet in my opinion has also been a fairly easy achievement. And no, it hasn’t been easy in the sense that it’s easy work or a simple feat to undertake. You see, it’s all about how you approach things. If you approach things with the confidence that you can accomplish any task necessary, you and your staff will not only be more effective at doing so, but it will be more fulfilling as well.

"...sometimes it is not about the job, rather it's about the lessons you learn and what you get out of it that matters the most..." - Sandra Ilias. During the summer of 2019, I started working as a Christmas Casual at Myer. Going into the job, I had a lot of preconceived notions of working in customer service in retail. It was my first paying job and I was someone who was extremely anxious. Like most front-facing jobs, I experienced lots of complaints from customers on my first week. Perhaps they didn't know it was my first week? perhaps they just had a bad day? perhaps it was my fault and perhaps I should have sought for better guidance? These were the questions that were running through my head. It was so easy to blame myself as the only thing I was capable of doing at the time was to operate the POS machine. This was when I decided to speak to my Store Manager, Sandra Ilias. I told her about how I felt incompetent, how I felt an overwhelming sense of impostor syndrome. After listening to my concerns, she told me how I was normal for feeling this way. She told me how retail isn't just about folding clothes, packing orders, putting money in the till and smiling at customers - it was about learning from your past experiences and failures and applying these lessons to future scenarios. From that day onward, I came to work with a fresh outlook. Retail taught me how dealing with aggressive customers led to conflict management, how I could increase my marketing through selling items using marketing personas, how delegating roles to different people in online fulfilment to finish off a pick list developed my leadership skills and how picking the easiest pallets to finish off before the next 14 pallet truck arrived developed my critical thinking and time management. In the end, I was able to derive so many lessons and professional skills from what would have seemed like simple or routine tasks in retail. I write this post in appreciation for Sandra Ilias. Thank you so much for your dedication to our store along with all the other Store Managers who provided your leadership support throughout the years. I am proud to still be a part of the Myer Southland team and will continuously treasure every shift I get as these lessons from work are lessons I will keep forever, and lessons I will continue to share throughout my own professional career!

2023. A year of grief, free-falling with no sense of when it would end, and a surprising career pivot. After I was laid off, it took me a long time to unravel my self-worth and personhood from my work. I was so entrenched in the culture and heartbeat of the organization that I wasn’t sure how to breathe without a sense of purpose. To get myself out of the house, I started two-stepping at local honky tonks here in Austin. What started as a hobby evolved into joining a rich community of dancers and music lovers and I finally felt like I was walking (or dancing) on solid ground again. After 5 months of job rejections and failing to get my consultancy off the ground, I decided to swallow my pride and get a part-time job at a western retail store I already shopped at. Surprisingly, I really enjoy the retail environment, interacting with customers directly, and feeling pride in merchandising. I’ve recently been promoted to a Keyholder at Cavender's because I’m viewing where I am as a career opportunity instead of a “job for now”. This mindset shift allowed me to stop feeling like I was failing or being left behind while my colleagues advanced in their career. This *is* an advancement, I *am* upskilling, and I’m good at my job! I’m not sure where I’ll be a year from now, but I know that while I may be making significantly less than I was before, I’m happy. — #retailjobs #retailmanager #careerpivot #layoff #careerdevelopment #socialmediamanagement #marketing #cavenders
