Worried about being Discriminated against | Riderflex - Recruiting & Sourcing

Worried about being Discriminated against | Riderflex - Recruiting & Sourcing

In this video, Steve Urban from the recruiting firm RiderFlex addresses the concerns of job candidates who fear discrimination during the hiring process due to their race, age, gender, or other characteristics. He discusses how avoiding visibility, like not sharing photos on LinkedIn or refusing video interviews, does not prevent discrimination but rather delays the inevitable interaction where biases may emerge. Steve shares personal concerns about being discriminated against as an older white male and argues that it's better to face potential discrimination early in the process rather than wasting time and effort. He encourages candidates to be upfront and visible to quickly identify if a company's culture is right for them, thus saving time and avoiding prolonged uncertainty.

Should you Drink wine during dinner job interview? | The Riderflex Podcast

Should you Drink wine during dinner job interview? | The Riderflex Podcast

In the dynamic and often unpredictable world of job interviews, the question of whether or not to have wine during a dinner job interview can be quite perplexing. Steve Urban, through his extensive experience and unique perspective, sheds light on this subject with a pragmatic approach. His advice emphasizes the importance of mirroring your interviewer's choices to maintain a level of professionalism and rapport. If your interviewer opts for a glass of wine, it can be acceptable for you to follow suit, provided you maintain moderation and ensure your focus remains on the interview itself. This strategy not only shows that you're adaptable and socially savvy but also that you're conscious of maintaining a professional demeanor in less formal settings. Ultimately, the decision to have wine during a dinner job interview should be guided by the context of the meeting, the company culture, and the behavior of your interviewer. Steve Urban advocates for a balanced approach, where making a positive impression and engaging in the conversation take precedence over the dining aspects of the interview. Remember, every interaction in a job interview, including a dinner setting, is an opportunity to showcase your professionalism and alignment with the company's values.

Tell them you were fired | The Riderflex Podcast

Tell them you were fired | The Riderflex Podcast

Steve Urban's advice on the topic of being fired is refreshingly candid: Be honest. In job interviews, if you're asked about a previous termination, it's best to tell the truth and explain the circumstances. This approach shows integrity and responsibility. While admitting to being fired can be tough, honesty is crucial, as recruiters and hiring managers are likely to uncover the truth eventually. Being upfront about past challenges can actually work in your favor, demonstrating your ability to learn and grow from difficult experiences. Remember, everyone makes mistakes, but it's how you handle and learn from them that truly counts.

Our focus on silly things | The Riderflex Podcast

Our focus on silly things | The Riderflex Podcast

"Steve Urban's latest video is more of a thought rather than advice or tips. In our modern era, we often find ourselves sweating the small stuff, like who didn't like our latest post or who threw a snide comment our way on social media. But when you sit down and watch something as eye-opening as 'The Pacific' on Netflix, a series about the harsh realities of World War II, it's a jolt back to reality. Those brave men and women were focused on survival, on making it through each day in hopes of returning home. It's a stark contrast to our current preoccupations and makes you ponder – how would today's generation handle such dire circumstances? We're generations removed from such profound heartache and sacrifice. This reflection is a reminder to prioritize what truly matters and to appreciate the relative peace and safety we often take for granted." It's a sobering thought that puts our daily 'problems' into perspective. Let's remember to focus on what truly matters and honor the legacy of resilience and courage left by those who came before us.
