The Naked Truth About Virtual Conferences
By Mona Lisa Faris, Author and Publisher DiversityComm, Inc.
Over the last year, we’ve found many new and creative ways to network in every sphere. Office meetings are often held through conference lines and Zoom calls, and you’ve probably never sent more emails in your life than you have during the stay-at-home order.
But, one of the biggest changes that came to the professional world was how we would conduct our yearly conferences. Organizations have had to learn how to bring together hundreds upon thousands of people in one space in a way that is accessible for all without too many technical difficulties. While there have been many amazing features to moving conferences to an online platform, the way in which they are conducted are far from perfect.

Letter from the Editor:
One Step Back, Two Steps Forward
By Tawanah Reeves-Ligon Editor, HISPANIC Network Magazine
Fall is a season heavily defined by visible transitions
and change. As the earth prepares itself for winter,
we get to witness a clear shift in the world around us.
Socially, I believe that is especially true this year. As our
country continues to transition following the height, fall
and resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic, industries and
society are looking forward to a future not defined by the
struggles of the past (almost) year and half.
The Latino community, which was hit harder than almost any other, is especially taking the
opportunity to move forward with renewed vigor and determination into the future. In this
issue, we at Hispanic Network Magazine, are choosing to honor the changemakers of the
community who share that vision. We are also honored to showcase our Native American
Special Issue as well.

Why Do You
Want This Job?
One of the most common interview
questions is some version of “why do
you want this job?” or “why do you
want to work here?” How you answer that
question can be a significant factor in whether
you get the job because the employer wants
to know if you will add value and be a good
fit for their organization. They want to know
why you like the position and why you like
their company. So how should you prepare to
answer that question?

Leaving an institute of higher education
and moving on into the workforce isn’t
always easy, especially on the cusps of
the end of a worldwide pandemic. But it’s
never impossible to make yourself stand out
and to find the right opportunity for your
desired career path. Here are six ways that
job expert Michael Altshuler suggests for new
graduates looking to get into the field:

Is Job
Hopping
Good for
Your Career?
In today’s workplace, 64 percent of employees favor
changing jobs several times throughout their career,
and when narrowed down to just millennials, that
percentage jumps to 75 percent. For the most part,
long gone is employee loyalty when a person spent
their entire working life with the same company…
many times in the same job! Today’s frequent change of employment is known as job hopping. But even with a high percentage
of people favoring job hopping (defined as spending two years or less in a
position) it is good for your career?

Despite the competitive hiring environment,
small business employment
growth grew 0.26 percent in June,
according to the data released in the latest
report of the Paychex | IHS Markit Small
Business Employment Watch.
It shows momentum in job growth with
the Small Business Jobs Index gaining 4.53
percent during the second quarter of 2021 (in
part driven by the 2020 comparison period).
