Query:
Dear Friends Authority Magazine is starting a new series about
"How I Was Able To Pivot To A New Exciting Opportunity Because
Of The Pandemic" Full description here https://bit.ly/34HhdXK
The COVID19 pandemic has disrupted all of our lives. But
sometimes disruptions can be times of opportunity. Many people's
livelihoods have been hurt by the pandemic. But many people saw
this as an opportune time to take their lives in a new direction.
We would like to interview and feature people who were able to
pivot and take their careers and/or lives in a new exciting
direction as a result of the disruption of the pandemic.
The interview series will have two stages.
All of the full interviews will be published in Arianna
Huffington's Thrive Global and Authority Magazine, and they will
look like the following:

The Buzzfeed article will look similar to this:

at least 2 - 4 articles.

Petnapping is an increasing problem, especially during the
pandemic. People walk their dogs more often so thieves see the
dog, where they live. Dogs go out to play in the yard during the
day since their person is home. Cats hang out in the catio.
Thieves take advantage. The motive: to sell as a pet, breed, or
sell for medical testing. We're looking to hear where are dogs
(and cats) most vulnerable, how they are stolen (break-ins, from
the yard, out of the car), how to protect them. We have all the
information needed for chipping, collar tags etc. Photos needed
but not yet. HARO strips them from your reply. Links okay.

I'm gathering information to form a pitch for a wellness
publication.
Many extended families usually only get together once a year
during the holidays for dinner and a gift exchange. But they're
almost always characterized by awkward conversation and
intrusive questions of "so when are you getting married?" and
"what are you doing with your life?" This year with the
pandemic, families are looking to cancel big reunions.
I'd like to know: 1) Is it okay to feel relieved about a
cancelled family get together even though those only happen once
a year?
2) What's the best way to talk to family about cancelling this
year without offending anyone?
3) How can families use this time to create new traditions?

Media Outlet: Workable Resources
Deadline: 8:00 AM EST - 18 November
Query:
If you're in HR and/or recruiting, you've probably heard about
or even used one-way video technology. And you probably know
about candidates' frustrations and negative impression about
one-way VI tech. Common complaints from candidates include:
1) It's incredibly impersonal and disrespectful to the
candidate. It's dehumanizing. It sends the message that "you're
not worth my time".
2) It "automates" the recruitment process in a way that benefits
only the recruiter at the expense of the candidate experience.
3) Recruiters/HR get to "channel surf" through candidates - so
you'd better be really good-looking and/or charismatic to get
them to stop and watch your video. It triggers more bias than
ever before.
4) It triggers performance anxiety at a time when a candidate
needs to feel confident and assured and showing their best
selves. That anxiety people feel leaving a voice mail? Same
issue but worse for VI.
5) "I don't want to work for a company that can't even give me
the time of day for a real interview..."
6) "It's easier to reject me if you never have to 'meet' me".
7) "This is worse than a screening call. I don't get to ask you
questions about the job or about the company itself."
7) And the best one I saw online: "I just want them to scan our
foreheads now and get this over with. It reminds me of the old
sci fi movie 'Gattaca' where 100 years in the future, your
station in life will be determined by a drop of blood."
The list just goes on and on. If you're using one-way video
interview tech, I want to hear your go-to strategies that help
the candidate feel better about it. Sample questions to get you
started:
1) What was the challenge before you took on one-way VI
technology and how was it solved by the technology?
2) In the spirit that "every solution creates a new problem",
what new problems did you experience using one-way VI technology?
3) What are you doing to overcome that?
I am especially interested in insights around employer branding
and candidate experience.
Please do include the following details - your full name, job
title, company, size/location/industry of company, current
hiring status (are you scaling your hiring, are you in a hiring
freeze, etc.), and so on.
Written answers are the best way to go, but I may follow up for
more details. The most interesting and insightful answers will
go into a new article to be published in Workable's Resources
site for the benefit of recruiters and HR practitioners
everywhere. Points for creativity and actionable items. Thank
you in advance!
Requirements:
1) You are a recruiter/HR practitioner actively using one-way
video interviewing technology.
2) You are doing this for a SMB or even an enterprise-level
company.
