We’ve been following The Taryn Smith Movement on Instagram, a young woman rowing solo across the Atlantic in the World’s Toughest Row. We don’t know her personally, but after more than 40+ days of following her journey, we’ve witnessed incredible grace, determination, dedication, raw emotion, and an inspiring outlook on life…do big things. It’s been a powerful journey to watch. As her row comes to an end today, here’s what it’s taught us: • Progress doesn’t come from perfection; it comes from showing up every single day • Strength and vulnerability can exist at the same time • The hardest journeys are won through consistency, not shortcuts • Perspective changes everything, especially when things feel overwhelming Careers aren’t built in one bold move. They’re built the same way, one steady stroke at a time. #thelarkogroup #recruitmentandstaffing #womenownedbusiness #worldstoughestrow World's Toughest Row

Before your experience ever has a chance to speak for itself, these missteps can quietly take you out of the running: 📌A resume that doesn’t align with your LinkedIn profile (inconsistent dates, titles, or responsibilities). 📌Claiming too many areas of “expertise” without a clear point of focus. 📌Applying to roles that don’t logically connect to your background. 📌A career narrative that feels scattered instead of intentional. 📌Public posts that spotlight job search frustrations instead of discretion. 📌Misspellings or avoidable errors that undermine attention to detail. 📌Social media content that raises doubt rather than reinforces professionalism. In competitive searches, small gaps become big signals. Precision, alignment, and professionalism make the difference. #larkogroup #recruitmentandstaffing #womenownedbusiness #wearetlg

AI headshot or real photo? Using an AI headshot can feel like a great idea… until you show up looking nothing like it. It’s the professional version of a bad blind date. Hiring managers want to recognize you, not be surprised by you. A current, clear, well-lit real photo builds trust. It doesn’t need to be perfect; it just needs to be honest and professional. First impressions matter! #thelarkogroup #womenownedbusiness #recruitmentandstaffing #firstimpressions

Inspiration. Aspiration. Resolution. We talk about them every January like they’re prerequisites for becoming someone better. But here’s the truth we don’t say out loud… You don’t need to change who you are, you need to decide what to keep. Inspiration reminds us what’s possible. Aspiration gives shape to what we want more of. Resolution isn’t about fixing flaws; it’s about choosing alignment. Most people aren’t stuck because they’re broken. They’re stuck because they’ve been carrying habits, expectations, and timelines that no longer fit. Growth isn’t a reinvention. It’s a refinement. So maybe the question isn’t “How do I change myself?” Maybe it’s “What do I finally give myself permission to step into?” That’s not a new you. That’s a more honest one. #thelarkogroup #wearetlg #womenownedbusiness #recruitmentandstaffing

The holidays are a natural pause and when you’re job searching, that pause can be frustrating. But it’s also an opportunity. Use this time to get prepared. Refresh your resume. Expand your profile. Refine your story. Rebuild your confidence and your energy. January moves fast. Being ready matters. Set yourself up to step into the new year focused, prepared, and confident. #larkogroup #womenownedbusiness #recruitmentandstaffing #wearetlg

Our favorite day of the year! It’s a reminder that our greatest strength is our team, how we show up for one another, support each other’s growth, and celebrate the culture we’ve intentionally created. It’s a day to pause, reflect, and appreciate the trust, collaboration, and shared values that power our work every day. Together, we don’t just get the job done, we build something meaningful for today and the future. And who doesn’t love sweet treats and gifts!? #thelarkogroup #womenownedbusiness #wearetlg #recruitmentandstaffing #holidays
