🔍 Minnesota Introduces Salary History Ban

Starting January 1, 2024, Minnesota will enforce a new law prohibiting employers from inquiring about a candidate's salary history during the hiring process. This is great news for residents, along with the 18 other states that have enacted similar legislation! Here's why >

1️⃣ Less Stress! Candidates can now engage in interviews without the burden of sharing salary history. They will avoid feeling pressured to lie, share competitive employer info, or divulge their history of being underpaid.

2️⃣ Equal Opportunities! The law aims to eliminate practices justifying lower compensation based on past earnings. It helps avoid offering lower pay, just becauase a previous employer paid lower based on a class of discrimination.

3️⃣ Statistical Impact: Studies, such as the one from Boston University School of Law, suggest an 8% increase in pay for women and a 13% increase for African American workers in states with similar laws.

As we witness this legislative change, let's reflect on biblical principles supporting fairness and equality! 📖 "Let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!" - Amos 5:24 (NIT)

𝗟𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝟮 - 𝗦𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗚𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 | Proverbs 15:22 (NLT) reminds us, "𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗴𝗼 𝘄𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲; 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀."

The key phrase is “PLANS GO WRONG” – don’t let the enemy fool you into believing you’re in this alone.

When we ask the Almighty for resources, divine guidance is available to us.

The Bible showers us with multitudes of scripture about looking to God and to others for help (see Proverbs 3:5-6).

For this blueprint, I’m recommending Facebook or LinkedIn groups as a resource for support and potentially a new role as well. Here’s the rundown:

1️⃣ Networking Opportunities: Joining industry-specific Facebook groups can help you connect with professionals who share your passion and can become key allies on your behalf.

Just like Proverbs says, seek advice, share your experiences, and ask questions.

2️⃣ Job Postings: Recruiters use these tools to post jobs, so be sure to switch notifications “on” so you don’t miss a listing.

3️⃣ Information Sharing: These groups are treasure troves of insights. You'll often find discussions on industry trends, interview strategies, and resume tips.

4️⃣ Skill Development: Some groups offer valuable resources like webinars and courses to help you enhance your skill set.

Whatever your path, and however you choose to build your skills or search for jobs, reflect on Colossians 3:23 (NIV), "𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼, 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁, 𝗮𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗼𝗿𝗱, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗺𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀."

𝗟𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝟭 – "𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗱"🔥
When the Ark of the Lord returned to Jerusalem after being held by the Philistines, King David danced and celebrated in the streets. His wife was disgusted by his zealousness and reprimanded him. He responded, "𝗜 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝘆 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗲𝘆𝗲𝘀."🕺

Whether you're job searching, interviewing, or seeking a promotion, – remember to always seek the Lord first, even if it seems "undignified."

King David started as a shepherd and, through FAITH and COURAGE, 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆, 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮 𝗻𝗲𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 $𝟭𝟮𝟱𝗧 (𝗬𝗲𝘀, 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻) 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗳 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱'𝘀 𝗴𝗼𝗹𝗱!💰💼

The Bible says about David, "The Lord has sought out a man after his own heart." Imagine what God will do for you when you truly seek Him and trust His ability to provide🙏

A lot of my clients are on the "𝗙𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗶𝘀 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗗𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱" 🎡

Each day, they spin round & round a circle of redundancy, 𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 the next task, email, phone call, meeting they have to script their way through 🔁 Some of them don't have a job at all, and they are giving their hearts and souls to their job search, but just aren't making progress.

They ask themselves, "Am I worthy? Is it even possible for me to escape this madness?" and they answer their own conscience by saying, "No" 😢

This saddens me, deeply 🙁

First of all, you are 🔥 BUT > you can't & shouldn't do it alone. First seek God (𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘄 𝟲:𝟯𝟯), then seek your friends & family, then seek your resources [Think: Networking Events, LinkedIn, Facebook Groups, YouTube / Google, Books, Podcasts, etc.]. 🛠️ If you're applying to hundreds of jobs, but you have no direction, and you haven't thought about the best strategy to use your resources, it's time for a mentality .

Secondly, if it's time for a change, it's also time for a 🙏 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝟰:𝟲-𝟳 - "𝘋𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘺 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨: 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘥, 𝘱𝘳𝘢𝘺 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨. 𝘛𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘎𝘰𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘬 𝘩𝘪𝘮 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘦.

It's a difficult time for because companies are taking their dear sweet time to make hiring decisions, and the respect of job candidates seems to have dwindled down to a generic rejection email 6-months after the applicant prepared and went through 4 interviews with the company (Might I add > NO communication in between). 📨🚫🤯
