Black Women in Science and Engineering (BWISE)

Both jobseekers and recruiters are overwhelmed due the unprecedented amount of layoffs right now. It’s tempting to apply online to hundreds of jobs, but it’s far more effective to NETWORK broadly so that you have a connection with the people hiring. We have a large network and great platform for connecting folks that’s easy to use and helpful for anyone applying and hiring. Let us know below if you would be interested in attending.

Black women are over 40% more likely to die from breast cancer than White women, despite being less likely to be diagnosed with it. I see this stat shared often, but have you ever asked yourself why? One major factor is environmental injustice. It’s infuriating to learn about the toxins in braiding hair and over THREE THOUSAND(!!!) beauty items marketed specifically to Black women. This is on top of the harmful substances found in other health products, like tampons. These environmental exposures disproportionately harm Black women, contributing to health disparities that are often preventable. Ladies, please study the lists, select/discard products wisely, and share this info. We have to look out for us. https://lnkd.in/e6RmXib8 #health #environmentalinjustice #healthequity #blackhealth

Navigating a maze is one of the best (and a favorite of mine) metaphors for explaining the difference between classical and quantum computing. Thanks Jan Mikolon - great graphic!

Do you know about Quantum Computing?

We knew this would happen… This week is already starting out a lot quieter than the past two, when so many people were posting jobs lists and companies that were “hiring”. Yes, I’m still seeing people sharing this information and trying to help. And “some” federal workers got their jobs back, but the majority did not. But the thing is, THOUSANDS ARE STILL UNEMPLOYED. It’s not sustainable for everyone to be posting openings on their social media forever. The hr department was already overwhelmed with applicants from layoffs before all of this happened. Jobseekers are applying for jobs that already have 1,000 applicants, and that’s not right. Repeat after me, “posting to your network of 700 connections, is not an effective recruiting strategy”. Because it takes THOUSANDS to see it, just to get 50 actual qualified candidates. People get jobs from NETWORKING, NOT applying on-line. If your organization is recruiting for SCIENTISTS, ENGINEERS, TECHNOLOGISTS OR MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS… Then join us every 1st & 3rd Wednesday at 12pm EST to connect with ACTUAL people looking for their next opportunity. Recruiters and others wanting to share job searching advice are welcome! To attend: https://lnkd.in/esbA4BZ2
