Trascrizione audio Auto-generata

• 00:00 - 00:03

  welcome to Iran steroid process and I am so glad you made it today.

• 00:03 - 00:07

  We have our job report and we're gonna talk about this conversation.

• 00:07 - 00:11

  I'm hearing out there on facebook streets about travel pay being reduced

• 00:11 - 00:15

  and they're talking about there being reduced in the middle of the contract.

• 00:15 - 00:17

  So I'm like they can do that.

• 00:17 - 00:22

  And then also when people are there to renew their uh

• 00:22 - 00:25

  reducing the pay when they when they renew their contract.

• 00:25 - 00:26

  So I'm like wow! So

• 00:26 - 00:29

  we gotta get creative when you're trying to get paid and

• 00:29 - 00:31

  see what other kind of perks you can actually get.

• 00:31 - 00:33

  So I come up with a list of some perks maybe you can ask for,

• 00:33 - 00:36

  I can't say you're gonna get them, don't get mad if they don't,

• 00:36 - 00:39

  it's just for people to be creative and think outside the box and

• 00:39 - 00:42

  you may have them say why I never even thought about that.

• 00:42 - 00:45

  We can definitely do that for you because I'm thinking something that

• 00:45 - 00:48

  they can write off as a business expense or employee perk.

• 00:48 - 00:50

  A lot of that stuff is tax deductible deductible for the company.

• 00:50 - 00:55

  So it may be a way for you to be able to pull that off. And then also relocating for work.

• 00:55 - 00:59

  There are relocation packages that companies can offer you and just

• 00:59 - 01:02

  to help you kind of think your way through it,

• 01:02 - 01:04

  get you a little checklist going so that you will be

• 01:04 - 01:07

  ready in case you are offered that kind of opportunity.

• 01:07 - 01:09

  So what's in it for you today?

• 01:09 - 01:11

  We're gonna talk about the pay for supervisors and managers

• 01:11 - 01:13

  and of course the reason why I do this.

• 01:13 - 01:15

  It's so that you would have something you actually

• 01:15 - 01:18

  can use when you want to negotiate a job

• 01:18 - 01:20

  offer and you know exactly what people are making

• 01:20 - 01:23

  in that city or that state or that area.

• 01:23 - 01:25

  And you can kind of gauge what the averages are.

• 01:25 - 01:28

  Once you add up this information I'm giving you and divided by how you know,

• 01:28 - 01:29

  you know how to do averages.

• 01:29 - 01:30

  Okay. So

• 01:31 - 01:32

  and then again, like I said,

• 01:32 - 01:34

  we're gonna talk about the reduction in travel pay

• 01:34 - 01:39

  and then we're gonna give you tips for relocating.

• 01:39 - 01:39

  Are you ready?

• 01:41 - 01:41

  Okay.

• 01:41 - 01:43

  So the supervisor pay,

• 01:43 - 01:45

  there's a couple of things I pulled from some

• 01:45 - 01:48

  of the job descriptions and for the manager,

• 01:48 - 01:50

  they want somebody knowledgeable of OSHA.

• 01:50 - 01:52

  Joint Commission and infection prevention were the

• 01:52 - 01:54

  key takeaways that I have there.

• 01:54 - 01:56

  And if you're not familiar with these.

• 01:56 - 02:00

  Oh, should have a lot of free information. I believe Joint Commission does too.

• 02:00 - 02:03

  But you can find a lot of stuff on infection prevention.

• 02:03 - 02:05

  There's so many courses out there that you can take that can get

• 02:05 - 02:08

  you up to par or have you been able to talk that talk and

• 02:08 - 02:11

  walk that walk and of course you want to definitely added to your resume

• 02:11 - 02:14

  and you want to be able to speak to it during your interview.

• 02:14 - 02:18

  So if you didn't know you go to IOS pd dot com and you can find

• 02:18 - 02:20

  a lot of resources there for you to

• 02:20 - 02:23

  find whether it's educational material that's free.

• 02:23 - 02:27

  Um you go to Ocean, like I said website you're gonna find a lot of information there.

• 02:27 - 02:31

  Also I have links to uh interview information, resume building information.

• 02:31 - 02:35

  So it's pretty much a one stop shop for you when it comes down to these jobs.

• 02:35 - 02:36

  Now, as far as supervisor go,

• 02:36 - 02:39

  they are looking for somebody with five years experience in sterile processing.

• 02:39 - 02:41

  However you do not have to have

• 02:41 - 02:45

  um supervisor experience but they do prefer it however

• 02:45 - 02:47

  they want you to be pretty good with amy

• 02:48 - 02:52

  standards and so you can always brush up on that. Get you one of S. T. 79.

• 02:52 - 02:54

  Start with that work your way up and start

• 02:54 - 02:56

  getting yourself familiarized with the flow the processes and

• 02:56 - 02:59

  different things that you can speak to that can

• 02:59 - 03:01

  help you get that job that you're looking for.

• 03:01 - 03:04

  So, back to the website like I said, I O S P D dot com.

• 03:04 - 03:07

  When you go to the website, you scroll down to professional development

• 03:07 - 03:11

• 03:23 - 03:27

• 03:28 - 03:29

  So what I'm, what I'm gonna do,

• 03:29 - 03:32

  I'm gonna share my screen and we're gonna start looking at

• 03:33 - 03:36

  uh these jobs and first of all, before I do that,

• 03:36 - 03:39

  let me take you to my website so I can show you exactly what I'm talking about.

• 03:39 - 03:42

  So when you're there at the website you'll be like, okay,

• 03:42 - 03:45

  I know exactly what Solyndra is talking about.

• 03:45 - 03:50

  So here's the website you at IOS pd dot com. You're gonna scroll down

• 03:50 - 03:52

  until you get to professional development,

• 03:53 - 03:55

  you click on professional development

• 03:57 - 03:58

  and then you get here,

• 03:58 - 04:01

  you get free learning but it's other stuff here if you want to do your smart goals,

• 04:01 - 04:04

  swat analysis of personal swat analysis, leadership,

• 04:04 - 04:06

  the big five personality test that's all there.

• 04:06 - 04:09

  But you go to free learning and as you see here it opens up

• 04:10 - 04:12

  a lot of information for you to actually use if you wanted to.

• 04:12 - 04:15

  So let's go over here to these job postings.

• 04:15 - 04:20

  This right here is for a supervisor and it is in sacramento California,

• 04:20 - 04:22

  which is one of the places I kind of wanted to live.

• 04:22 - 04:24

  But you look at the department description which was pretty

• 04:24 - 04:27

  helpful here that they actually have a department description,

• 04:27 - 04:29

  they let you know it's 32 operating rooms.

• 04:29 - 04:31

  They definitely want you to be um

• 04:31 - 04:35

  familiar with flexible scopes and picking cases because

• 04:35 - 04:36

  that's what they do in that department,

• 04:36 - 04:40

  the pay is 26 05 to 50 to 29

• 04:40 - 04:43

  I have to remember people who just listening to me on a podcast,

• 04:43 - 04:46

  this information will be posted on facebook, so you'll be able to find me,

• 04:46 - 04:48

  there is definitely going to be in

• 04:48 - 04:53

  um SPD grapevine is sterile processing grapevine group page that I have there,

• 04:53 - 04:56

  But I will eventually create a website where you just go here and get

• 04:56 - 04:59

  all this information and you don't have to click around and look forward.

• 04:59 - 05:01

  Um again this one,

• 05:01 - 05:04

  like I said five years experience and when they asked for special requirements,

• 05:04 - 05:07

  they saying things like you must be able to work in noisy environments.

• 05:07 - 05:10

  So I think you know you should be able to

• 05:10 - 05:13

  lift at least £25. So that's something we do anyway.

• 05:13 - 05:15

  I didn't think that was something that you really had to

• 05:16 - 05:20

  um stretch yourself for. The other one is a manager position.

• 05:20 - 05:23

  I found this one on linkedin because linkedin can send notifications

• 05:23 - 05:25

  to you for you to get a lot of this information.

• 05:25 - 05:27

  Not all of them will have to pay, that's why I extract the,

• 05:27 - 05:29

  pays for you and I present that to you.

• 05:29 - 05:31

  This one right here is in las Vegas,

• 05:31 - 05:33

  Nevada honey who doesn't want to be in Vegas

• 05:33 - 05:35

  just make sure you don't have a gambling problem.

• 05:35 - 05:38

  So this one is a full time, they specifically say no weekends,

• 05:38 - 05:40

  which may be something that you're looking for

• 05:40 - 05:46

  and this one is paying between 63,814 to 89,356.

• 05:46 - 05:49

  What I liked about this one this is worth for H. C. A.

• 05:49 - 05:52

  What I like about this one is they said that they

• 05:52 - 05:56

  had like a variety of benefits to create a customizable plan.

• 05:56 - 06:01

  I actually like that because one shoe doesn't fit everyone.

• 06:01 - 06:04

  And nowadays in order to retain and attract

• 06:04 - 06:07

  top talent you definitely want to make sure that you

• 06:07 - 06:10

  are giving them something that makes them want to stay.

• 06:11 - 06:15

  And then we get down here as far as the education and they say graduate

• 06:15 - 06:17

  from high school or equivalent program high

• 06:17 - 06:20

  level of math and reasoning is required.

• 06:20 - 06:23

  Of course you already know that you already have that because

• 06:23 - 06:26

  you are still a process and professional and you're ready.

• 06:26 - 06:28

  Now I want to give you some ideas when it comes

• 06:28 - 06:31

  to these job perks to see if they actually have this.

• 06:31 - 06:33

  If you're trying to wiggle around and say well you want to make more money.

• 06:33 - 06:37

  Maybe they have these other perks available that you could be interested in

• 06:37 - 06:40

  so you ready OK equipment reimbursement and

• 06:40 - 06:41

  you in the supervisor leadership position.

• 06:41 - 06:44

  Maybe you need some type of equipment to do your job better.

• 06:44 - 06:45

  You can go out there and make that purchase

• 06:45 - 06:47

  and you get your money back different discounts.

• 06:47 - 06:48

  Most places you work for.

• 06:48 - 06:50

  They will have some kind of discount that you can get

• 06:50 - 06:53

  whether it's at amusement parks restaurants and different things like that,

• 06:53 - 06:55

  so see exactly what they have for that.

• 06:55 - 06:56

  A meal allowance.

• 06:56 - 07:00

  I would love this to be able to eat free, especially if you got a good cafeteria,

• 07:00 - 07:03

  a meal allowance where you can eat free elder care,

• 07:03 - 07:05

  maybe you need tutoring for your child,

• 07:05 - 07:07

  that could be a benefit that they have a book club.

• 07:07 - 07:09

  Some of us are in book clubs and you pay to be in these

• 07:09 - 07:12

  book clubs or you would like to be in a book club where there's

• 07:12 - 07:14

  a subscription involved and you would like somebody to pay for that and you

• 07:14 - 07:17

  don't want it to be you and that can save you money every month.

• 07:18 - 07:23

  Um I uh it was offered a job where you were able

• 07:23 - 07:25

  to get paid every single day and this was at the hospital,

• 07:25 - 07:27

  you get paid every day,

• 07:27 - 07:30

  you don't have to wait every two weeks and you don't have to wait once a week.

• 07:30 - 07:34

  You can opt in getting paid every single day. Now, I don't know what that looks like.

• 07:34 - 07:35

  I've never experienced that before.

• 07:35 - 07:37

  I don't know if there's some kind of fee goes along with that,

• 07:37 - 07:39

  but that is an option that a lot of

• 07:39 - 07:41

  companies are offering out there as one of their perks

• 07:41 - 07:43

  having offside events,

• 07:43 - 07:47

  um having pet care and pet insurance or even pet

• 07:47 - 07:50

  events where you can bring your pet to work day because

• 07:50 - 07:52

  I worked at a hospital where they would bring in

• 07:52 - 07:55

  pets for patients that were in the hospital to um,

• 07:55 - 07:58

  brighten up their day of the morale or what have you to.

• 07:58 - 08:01

  They said it was, I guess scientifically proven that it made people feel better.

• 08:01 - 08:02

  So they were bringing pets.

• 08:03 - 08:06

  They also would have a pianist come in and they would play the piano in the lobby.

• 08:06 - 08:11

  So different things like that, a fitness stipend, uh, remote work,

• 08:11 - 08:14

  especially if you're a manager, then it's like, do I really need to show up every day,

• 08:14 - 08:17

  especially when your whole day is filled with guess what meetings?

• 08:17 - 08:20

  Um, summer Fridays where they have a different events on summer.

• 08:20 - 08:23

  Maybe you can work a half day. You know, different things.

• 08:23 - 08:25

  They can do a learning budget in case you

• 08:25 - 08:26

  want to go ahead and take some online courses.

• 08:26 - 08:27

  Do they offer that to you?

• 08:28 - 08:31

  Volunteer days off and your birthday days off.

• 08:31 - 08:33

  So those are things, some of the things you can think about

• 08:33 - 08:35

  and when they talk about employee perks and

• 08:35 - 08:37

  maybe something you want to negotiate and ask

• 08:37 - 08:42

  for if they cannot take your wages where you want them because that works for you.

• 08:43 - 08:47

  Now, let's get into these SPD streets honey where these people are talking about.

• 08:47 - 08:50

  They are producing people pay midway through the contract.

• 08:50 - 08:54

  And I'm wondering, can they even do this? I,

• 08:54 - 08:58

  I don't know you guys are gonna have to tap in, you guys don't have to clap back.

• 08:58 - 09:01

  Absolutely to find out what is going on.

• 09:01 - 09:05

  But I will give you a resource, this resource is called nomadic care dot com.

• 09:05 - 09:10

  And they are comparing um wages out there as far as

• 09:10 - 09:12

  what people getting paid in your state as a traveler.

• 09:12 - 09:15

  Now we're gonna share the screen again because I'm gonna take you

• 09:16 - 09:17

  to their website

• 09:19 - 09:22

• 09:37 - 09:40

• 09:40 - 09:41

  So yeah you go to their website and what you can do is you go

• 09:56 - 09:58

  They may ask you for your email address but hey

• 09:59 - 10:02

  make up an email address for a bunch of stuff that you don't want to

• 10:02 - 10:05

  get too much spam or too much information and too much

• 10:05 - 10:08

  anymore marketing just find something like that that works for you.

• 10:08 - 10:12

  But this is definitely what a free resource and you can use this to compare

• 10:12 - 10:14

  to see what people are paying because people are saying the pasar getting reduced,

• 10:14 - 10:16

  are they really?

• 10:16 - 10:18

  So that is a good source for you to go to.

• 10:18 - 10:20

  If you want to find out now of course we got more tips for

• 10:20 - 10:23

  you when it comes down to that because nobody wants to deal with that.

• 10:23 - 10:24

  Now let's say

• 10:25 - 10:28

  that at the they're they're reducing your pay in

• 10:28 - 10:30

  the middle of the contract at the end of the

• 10:30 - 10:32

  contract here's some things maybe you can ask for

• 10:32 - 10:33

  and you let me know if these things work.

• 10:33 - 10:36

  Maybe if they want to change something, you want something changed too.

• 10:36 - 10:42

  So can you work 3 12 instead of the you know the the 5/8 that you have been working?

• 10:42 - 10:44

  Can you say 5858?

• 10:45 - 10:47

  Uh No weekends if you've been working weekends,

• 10:47 - 10:49

  if you were doing call you don't want to call anymore.

• 10:49 - 10:53

  Can you go from second shift, the 1st, 1st to third or whatever that you wanna do?

• 10:53 - 10:54

  You wanna ask about bonuses,

• 10:54 - 10:58

  renewal bonuses and sometimes they want to spread out the renewal bonus to

• 10:58 - 11:02

  make sure you actually complete the contract or mid bonuses or completion bonuses?

• 11:02 - 11:04

  Maybe you want to get an advance on that?

• 11:04 - 11:06

  Travel money that's usually get at the end of your contract to go back home.

• 11:06 - 11:11

  Can you get an advance on that? Can you get an extra few more dollars on that at the end?

• 11:11 - 11:13

  Say you know, normally they give us up to $500.

• 11:13 - 11:16

  Can you just make sure I get $500 or whatever they can do.

• 11:16 - 11:19

  I'm not sure what magic they can do within the constraints of the I. R. S.

• 11:19 - 11:23

  Or what have you. But of course you can go to G. S. A. Website and get that too.

• 11:23 - 11:29

  So you can go to my website when it comes to S. P. D. Travel dot org. You go there and Gs.

• 11:29 - 11:32

  A. Information is they're dealing with the bill rate and everything is there.

• 11:32 - 11:34

  So you can definitely use that information as well for

• 11:34 - 11:37

  you to make sure you're getting the best deal possible.

• 11:37 - 11:39

  Um If they can help you with your certification.

• 11:39 - 11:42

  If you already studying for and you're ready. Sit for that certification.

• 11:42 - 11:45

  Can y'all go ahead and pay that money for me to sit for my certification.

• 11:45 - 11:48

  Can you pay for some online courses? Can you buy me some books?

• 11:48 - 11:52

  A lot of the stuff I'm thinking could be possible tax write off to an employer

• 11:52 - 11:57

  that they're giving this to an employee and you can use this for your benefit.

• 11:58 - 12:00

  Okay let me move on because I'm running out of time.

• 12:00 - 12:03

  Let's talk about when you're relocating to a new job.

• 12:03 - 12:06

  You need to, first of all access what your needs are.

• 12:06 - 12:07

  Well you need child care, pet care.

• 12:07 - 12:11

  Elder care, where your husband need or your wife need help.

• 12:11 - 12:14

  We're looking for a job, the cost is involved.

• 12:14 - 12:17

  You're gonna be moving and you're gonna be, you're gonna have pay adjustment.

• 12:17 - 12:19

  So let me get back to the care real quick cause I uh
