Success Doesn’t Find You: You Have to Go and Get It
While everyone wants to achieve success, not everyone is born to succeed. Professionals need to understand that they can’t afford to wait or expect success to find them. It’s true that some people are lucky enough to win a lottery, but they still made an effort to take part in the contest and it paid off beyond expectations. Ultimately, it’s up to you to pave your way for success. Here are some expert tips on how to achieve success in your career: Determine What Drives You One of the biggest professional mistakes is failing to determine your value and worth. People keep putting in efforts and pressuring themselves to achieve goals they never wanted to achieve in the first place. As a result, they aren’t happy or satisfied with their achievements. Thus, the first step to accomplishing success is defining the type of job you want, the type of people you want to engage with, the area you wish to expand your knowledge, and the amount of money you wish to earn. This should help you define success for yourself, and the rest of the efforts should be aligned with what you decide at this stage. Don’t Be Afraid to Change Directions Have you ever thought why only a few people are able to achieve success? That’s because not everyone is decisive enough to initiate change. Suppose you took on a banking career, and two years down the road you realize that it’s not your cup of tea. You’re more interested in a career in hospitality. Most people faced with such a situation would think that it’s too late to switch their careers now. They keep on advancing in the wrong direction and never step on the road to success. Be bold enough to make the switch when it’s necessary. If your passion for soccer is intense enough to take it up as a profession, don’t be afraid to go for it. If you have a 9-to-5 job and you are deeply inclined towards having your own business, start off with a minor side hustle alone with your current job. As your venture reaches a certain level, you can leave the job to work on the business full-time. Keep Improving One of the biggest drivers of success is continuous improvement. Regardless of your profession or position level, keep improving yourself. Obtaining more and more insights into your field of work helps you develop that intuition that others cannot match. With improved professional competitiveness, countless opportunities start opening up that lead you to success. Closing Thoughts The emergence of workplace diversity and remote working options means that professional competition is more intense than ever. It has become increasingly challenging to stand out and prove yourself in the corporate world. Yet, the three effective tips discussed above should still help you find success, no matter where you live in the world. RMG Staffing opens doors to new applicants eager to learn the hospitality industry, from bartenders to cooks to VIP hostesses and general managers. We train and provide the best opportunities to fulfill your career success.

Ever tried Googling yourself? If you ever performed such inquiry chances are you received little to no responses or you may have also gotten way too much information- information that is private and might make it stressful for you in the real world. Well, when you go on a job interview and the interviewer says, “Tell me about yourself,” that same information, rather it’s good or bad is the same response the interviewer may want to get out of you. “We always ask prospective employees the ‘Tell me about yourself’ question,” says RMG Staffing President Ricardo Michelangeli. “It’s a good way to find out if a candidate can organize their thoughts on the spot. It’s a good way to see if someone can speak well and be able to give honest answers.” Being honest is the best thing you could do and another thing we suggest in preparation for the “Tell me about yourself” question is to Google yourself and read the information you may or may not want to be exposed. If the information is negative you may want to directly contact the source and ratify the situation. If the information is good then you might want to use that same information and its source in your responses. Also, be sure to review your social media posts. Edit out comments you may have written that might paint you in a negative light. In addition, you can ask friends, relatives or colleagues a few things they may or may not like about you and see if those responses may benefit you at a job interview. “One should always practice and get feedback from friends and colleagues on how best to answer that question,” Mr. Michelangeli added. “Good or bad the more responses you get the better. You can never be overly prepared for a job interview.” So if you’re still unsure to how to answer the “Tell me about yourself” question here are some quick suggestions that are straight to the point. Be aware that there are other guidelines and suggestions out there and being open to constructive criticism will benefit you in the long run. • Connect personal strengths and give supporting examples. • Mention your overall dreams and aspirations. • Avoid summarizing your resume word for word. • Mention past experiences and proven successes. • Align your current job responsibilities to the role. • Avoid mentioning personal information related to your marital status, children, political or religious views. • Highlight your personality and education background • Avoid rushing into deeper conversations about the role and company. • Connect your skills to the job description. • Briefly mention hobbies and give examples of how your work benefit others on a personal level Last but not least, make sure you remain calm during an interview.

How Safe Is Your Workspace
Marjorie is an office manager for a major issuance company based in Miami. A typical day at work for her consists of running to the office supply room to get items requested by her colleagues. Her other duties and responsibilities include answering phones, preparing payroll, record keeping, reviewing and approving supply requisitions; assigning and monitoring clerical functions; the list goes on and on. Though her days at work are often hectic and a bit stressful, Marjorie is able to balance daily duties and responsibilities with eloquent professionalism. But despite her strong ability to manage the ends and outs at her office, one day Marjorie gets injured on the job. It happened when she was in the supply room and was trying to lift a heavy box. She threw out her back. After getting help from a colleague, Marjorie reported the incident to her human resource department. The human resource officer filed the proper paperwork and as company protocol, Marjorie was sent to a medical doctor to examine her injuries. Cases of employees getting injured on the job occur all across the United States on a daily basis. We at RMG Staffing acknowledge that employees are prone to get injured on the job no matter how many safety measures are put in place. But the implementation of the right safety measures does limit the number of employees who get injured. Recently, we held our annual Safety Standard Operating Procedure Meeting and Workshop. During the proceedings, our staff obtained and was updated on the correct way to respond if they or one of their colleagues get injured on the job. The topics of discussion included what one should immediately do after suffering an injury, how a supervisor should be contacted and the proper paperwork to be filed after suffering an injury. “We follow strict guidelines in order to limit the number of injuries our great staff have on the job,” says CEO of RMG Staffing Ricardo Michelangeli. “Our safety brochure has step by step actions to adhere to when such cases occur. Our immediately desire is to make sure the injured employee gets medical attention if needed and in addition, our designated supervisor will make certain the other needs of the injured employee are met. I can’t recommend enough that all employers have these types of safety meetings and workshops on a consistent basis because an injured employee leads to an unhealthy company.” In addition to our Safety Standard Operating Procedure Meeting and Workshop, we also conducted our annual catering, banquet, and events training. The proceeding consisted of informing our staff of the right actions to be taken during the hosting of our amazing clients’ events. Some of the topics of discussion included updating the staff on RMG’s culture, fundamentals and mission statement; grooming standards and what sets us apart from other companies; the do’s and don’ts in our events; helpful hints to being an exemplary team member and guest interactions procedures. We at our RMG Staffing pride ourselves in being the best of the best. We don’t expect you to just take our word for it. Our annual Safety Standard Operating Procedure Meeting and Workshop and events training functions are proof that our excellence is shown through inspirational words, professional manner, and great actions.
Staffing Industry Trends
Summer 2018 is almost here. At this moment we’re either preparing for summer vacation or getting ready to jump into the seasonal employment job market. For those of you who are gearing up for the summer job opportunities in the hospitality industry, you’ll be happy to hear that our economy is showing positive gains. Overall the staffing industry is doing exceptionally well and a large number of staffing firms are anticipating increases in revenue this year compared to 2017. According to the 2018 North American Staffing & Recruiting Trends Report, the driving forces behind this growth are based on strategic planning devised by industry professionals who know how and what to prioritize. Staffing firms top three priorities: Increasing profitability (45%) Driving top-line revenue growth (43%) Improving candidate sourcing (42%) Increasing profitability is always a top priority for any business and staffing firms are using technology and social media to bring in revenue. Firms are using the latest apps to build their network and obtain new clients. These apps schedule virtual meetings and help keep track of sales. In reference to social media, websites such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram allows staffing firms to market their brand directly to consumers and clientele. In addition, social network websites like LinkedIn gives staffing firms a great platform for recruiting new talent to their team. The other trends that are driving the staffing industry in 2018 include: Improving the management of client relationships Expanding into new markets Automating and accelerating recruiting and placement processes Engaging candidates and improving the candidate experience Increasing employment brand development and marketing We at RMG Staffing understand what it takes to stay ahead of the pack. We constantly update ourselves on the latest trends in the industry. In addition to the previously mentioned priorities that are trending in the staffing industry for 2018, we also use various other initiatives to push our company and most importantly our clients to greater heights. These initiatives include improving our diversity, new interviewing tools in our hiring process and data collection. Miami is a city of various cultures from all over the world. As a step to improve our diversity, we seek out employees of various backgrounds and skills. Our clients also come from a diverse background. Our interviewing tools are quite innovative. In addition to hosting open houses, we also implement tech-driven skill assessments in our interviewing process that guarantees our clients’ needs are met. Our in-house IT department is exceptionally gifted in troubleshooting. If there is ever a tech issue, they are quick to analyze the situation and resolve the matter in sufficient timing. We’re almost halfway through 2018 and based on the current state of the staffing industry, we are looking to experience an exceptional ending for the year.
Motivational words of wisdom
In order to achieve success in their career, one must make intricate plans, simultaneously balance multiple job tasks, have precise time management skills, and be able to properly maneuver through unpredictable circumstances. One of the biggest challenges in the staffing industry is the increasing difficulty in finding great talent. Not every candidate who walks through the door will have the skills and experience employers require. This “skills gap,” of what employers want and need their employees to be able to do, is an uphill battle for staffing agencies. “The only way to do great work is to love what you do,” the great CEO of Apple Inc. Steve Jobs once stated. We at RMG Staffing love what we do. We love meeting people who come from various walks of life and we love figuring out how to match these wonderful people who have great sets of skills with the right employer. It’s definitely a challenge in finding the right one but it’s also a great joy in maneuvering small pieces to create a really great body of work. A second great challenge in the staffing agency is the effectiveness of one’s recruiting tools. Referrals are the primary avenue candidates appear on the radar and according to a recent analysis, referrals have become archaic. Websites such as LinkedIn, Indeed, CareerBuilder, Monster, Simply Hired, Dice have done a decent job in helping to curve the issue but the key to being successful with referrals is to bridge technology with a personal touch. In addition to using the vast resources of technology, when it comes to referrals we at RMG Staffing also utilize venues such educational institutions and open houses in order to stay ahead of the pack. Rather we are putting together an event for a client or an event to recruit prospective candidates, RMG Staffing makes sure a venue caterers to everyone’s need. “It’s important to understand how people organize themselves in a space. In terms of venue, striking a good balance between outdoor and indoor spaces is a great idea. The venue makes the event, not the other way around.” COO of Tech Open Air Jacopo Luperi says about the psychology in choosing the right venue for an event. A third and final challenge we see the staffing industry is facing is in data management. A lot of agencies use spreadsheets to keep track of staffing and employment metrics. This data has to be implemented by typing or copy and pasting. It is a mundane task that accumulates a lot of valuable time that would have been more useful if spent elsewhere. In our data management department, spreadsheets are one of the infinite resources we have at our disposal. We have a large number of indexes that are meticulously organized to keep us up-to-date with the latest trends and helps us make well-educated forecasts. RMG Staffing has been able to continue to provide great talent to our clients because we know how stressful finding the right person can be. No matter how great your plans are, things will happen but we also know, a well trained, experienced professional will always exceed expectations on the job market, despite the difficulties. In our decade of experience in the staffing agency, we have seen it all and certainly helped our gracious clients swim through rough currents.
How to Write a Great Resume
A resume is the first introduction an employer has to a prospective employee. As a person who has gone or is on the job hunt, you know how nerving racking it can be in trying to write the perfect resume. But truth be told, there isn’t really such a thing as the perfect resume. In any job post, an employer sees hundreds to thousands of applicants. You are competing against other candidates, and every candidate doesn’t have the same resume. Every candidate who goes through the application process comes from various walks of life and has diverse employment experiences. “One day you open your inbox and there it is: an email alert about a new job posting that describes your dream job, with a company you’ve always wanted to work for! You feel a mixture of excitement and anxiety — this sounds like the perfect opportunity, but what can you do to make sure you land an interview?,” contributing writer Melanie Haselmayr writes in Forbes magazine. So how do you improve your chances in getting a callback from an employer after submitting your resume? How do you write the almost perfect resume? Here are a few tips. Stand out with the title of your resume How do you make your resume stand out? Your unique name wouldn’t work. Having a catchy or great career objective will tell an employer your philosophy to doing a great job and it all tells a little about your awesome personality. Tailor your resume to the job description. Employers post various duties and responsibilities for the same job post and most likely, you have performed all sorts of duties and responsibilities for that same job. Tailoring your resume for each job description allows your chances to improve in getting a callback from a prospective employer. Fully describe the duties and responsibilities of each job you put on your resume. Filling your resume with awesome titles without well-described duties and responsibilities won’t do. It won’t get you a callback but a paragraph of everything you did won’t do either. The key is having a highlight of what you performed but also giving details when needed. A rule of thumb is to but the highest responsibilities you performed. Add extra skills, extracurricular activities, and highly regarded memberships to your resume. What else have you done besides being great at your job? Employers are not looking to higher machines. They are looking for great candidates with great work experiences, exceptional people skills and those who have a life outside of their jobs. Lastly, writing a resume and getting a job is a long and often nerve-racking experience. The better prepared you are in crafting a resume that contains work experiences and shows your personality, the better you will do in the job market. If you have questions or need help with your resume, our Human Resources department at RMG Staffing will be happy to assist you in your next career move.
