How to Cope With the Death of a Friend From Work - The Muse

How to Cope With the Death of a Friend From Work - The MuseHow to Cope With the Death of a Friend From Work One Saturday I welches walking in my front door when my phone buzzed. It welches a Facebook messenger notification from my boss. Thats strange, I thought. It wasnt completely out of the norm to hear from zu sich this way, since I worked remotely, but not on a weekend. The note said to let her know when I had a few minutes. A sinking feeling. Had I done something wrong? I wrote her back and took a seat. Im glad I did, since her next message was shocking My co-worker had reisepassed away in her sleep and was found during a wellness check after no one had heard from her for a few days. Since we both worked remotely, wed never met in person. And some of her suggestions in ur virtual meetings drove me nuts- switching from Gmail to Outlook? Still, hadnt we just been talking online the other day?The news caught me off guard, and in the coming weeks, her absence affected me far more th an typical changes in workflow would have. Apparently, this isnt unusual.A colleagues death can impact you in ways you didnt expect, even if you werent close with this particular co-worker, says Jen Leong, a psychotherapist based in Long Beach, California. No matter what your relationship was like, a death will affect you and others in your workplace. Moving forward can be difficult, but there are ways to cope.Accept Your ReactionGrief comes in various stages and shows up in various ways at different times and there is no wrong way, says Erica Curtis, a marriage and family therapist based in San Juan Capistrano, California. Sometimes a death will cause a big reaction, even if you werent close. ur brain works off of associations, so when we have a loss, its going to automatically trigger the other losses weve experienced in our life and bring up those feelings as well, she explains. Other times, experiencing others large reactions will make you feel like you arent upset enough. Curti s says that instead of comparing, accept that this is just how I feel right now, and try not to listen to others who might judge. Take InitiativeNikki DeClue was working at an orthopedic office when she got the news that one of her co-workers was killed in a head-on collision. The day before, theyd swapped Secret Santa gifts at the company Christmas party, and they were friends outside of work, too. It was really hard to go back to work,DeClue said. I was used to seeing my friend every single day, but all I saw was the jacket she wore on the back of her chair.While the office didnt organize any memorial events or activities, DeClue and a couple of her other colleagues went to the hospital to check on their late co-workers husband and son, who had injuries from the crash. They later attended the funeral together.Following the death of a co-worker, a workplace might not take immediate steps to acknowledge it. If you feel compelled to do something or think itd be helpful for your colle agues, Curtis recommends approaching your direct supervisor and asking if itd be OK for you to organize something. Bring an idea thats not too disruptive to the workday, but gives staff the opportunity to get involved. An empty desk can feel heavy, Curtis says. But doing something as simple as leaving a memory journal there for people to write in can help. Depending on the connection to the late co-workers family, it might be appropriate to pass the book along to them once its full of remembrances. Morgan Irish-Georges co-worker was killed in a car accident en route to a vacation. Her boss gathered everyone together to talk about the death, Irish-George says, but several colleagues also took initiative to help everyone cope after the initial conversation. One employee arranged to have a therapy dog come walk through our offices and building to have a pet and a smile, she says. Another coordinated a grief counselor to be made available for a session for those who would like it.Seek S upport Wherever You Can Find ItDepending on the culture of the workplace, you may or may not be able to seek support at work. If management isnt open to memorial activities in the office, organizing an after-work gathering is another option. Its an opportunity for colleagues to create something on their own level, Curtis says, to come together to remember their colleague. It doesnt have to be formal- even meeting at a restaurant or grabbing a drink or coffee where everyone can chat could be beneficial.And if you feel like you need support and cant get it at the office or from your colleagues, Curtis recommends spending time with friends, your loved ones, or even a pet to feel connected to others outside your grief.Be Kind to YourselfIts crucial to take care of yourself, Curtis says. Eating healthy and exercising are good options, but it can be hard when youre grieving. You cant beat yourself up over it, she says. Instead look for smaller things, smaller moments of self-care. This ca n be as simple as noticing and focusing on the smell of your coffee in the morning or reaching out and texting someone youre thinking about to help you feel grounded. Typically in bereavement, going to work is a distraction, Leong says. But when the person who dies is your co-worker, that doesnt necessarily take you away from it. Moreover, she adds, part of bereavement includes being foggy-headed and distracted and thats going to impact productivity.If you notice youre distracted at your desk, instead of brushing it off as fatigue, recognize that you might be grieving. And make space for your emotions, Curtis says. Feelings get stronger and bigger because they dont feel like theyre being heard or acknowledged. She recommends doodling or imagining a container and asking your feelings to go there, not to be locked up, but to wait until they can be processed outside of the workday. Beyond these exercises, you might be able to take advantage of grief-related programs or services some wo rkplaces offer through HR, and you might want to seek out therapy. If the workplace is becoming a trigger, Curtis recommends talking with your manager about setting up flex time or seeing if you can take anywhere from a couple days to weeks off. Know That it Takes TimeMore than 10 years ago, when Jen Giangregorio was working in retail, a co-worker drowned one weekend. He was young and smart and he just drowned, Giangregorio says. It was horrible. We were all devastated, she adds. I mucksmuschenstill think about it.The loss of a co-worker will always be in your thoughts, and could be triggered 20 years after the event. Theres no quick fix, says Leong. You will always know this has happened and the person will always be gone. Be patient and give yourself space to express your emotions when they come up.After my colleagues death, the rest of us continued working, but the company temporarily put a pause on any new tasks. We sent a floral arrangement to my co-workers family, and I eventu ally took over some of her responsibilities. It was weird to delete her off our Trello and Monday boards, and I caught myself trying to send her an email a couple of times. But while I still think of her nearly a year later- and Im sure Im not the only one- weve managed to reach a new normal.

How to Work With Someone You Hate- The Muse

How to Work With Someone You Hate- The MuseHow to Work With Someone You HateNearly every day, my client Sean arrived at work to a voicemail from zu sich co-worker Jackson, who was three time zones away. Call me as soon as you get this, barked the voice on the other end. Youve got big problems here It was one of the most difficult working relationships shed ever had. Negative. Blaming. Self-centered. Mean. In short, it gave her a reason to hate coming to work every day. And maybe you have one, too a colleague you absolutely dread coming in contact with during the workday, whether he or she works in your cube, around the corner, or across the country. In your mind, he or she exists solely to make your life a living hell. As much as youd probably prefer to simply ignore the part, you need to find a way to work past your differences. Why? Research shows that the better the relationships you have at work, the more productive, successful, and satisfied youll be.So if youre stuck in the off ice with a person who you just dont like, its in your best interest to figure out how to deal with it. Heres how.1. Get to Know the PersonAs a human, you have a tendency to like people who are like you. Its a psychological occurrence called the mere exposure affect.If your unlikable office mate is very different from you, that fact alone may keep you from building a better relationship with him or her- regardless of his or her behavior. So, force yourself out of your comfort zone and reach out to your co-worker to get to know him or her on a more personal level. The more you get to know someone, the more you may recognize similarities between you- and the more likely youll be to change your mind about him or her.2. Dont Take the Behavior PersonallySean would often make comments like, Jackson hates me- I know it or, Im sure Jacksons out to get me. She was observing his behavior and interpreting it as an intentional, direct attack on her. In reality, its more likely that Jacksons pers onal history was driving his behavior. In The Four Agreements, Miguel Ruiz encourages readers to take nothing personally. Nothing others do is because of you, he writes. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you wont be the victim of needless suffering. Jacksons behavior- whether it stemmed from childhood issues, poor role models in the workplace, or a lack of self-confidence- was far more about him than it was about Sean. 3. Set BoundariesOne of the challenges of unlikable people is that they come with equally unlikable behavior- and its important to learn how to distance yourself from that behavior. As Robert Frost said, Good fences make good neighbors. Sean had to learn how to determine and communicate boundaries for her interactions with Jackson. For example, instead of simply taking the urgent phone calls every day and letting the anger build up, she learned to confront Jackson and say, I feel frustrated when you exaggerate how bad a situation is. Please ca ll me prepared with specific facts and examples that I can take action on. 4. Try the Little ThingsSome of my clients have admitted that the people who once rubbed them the wrong way are now their best friends. And it wasnt because the disliked colleague had a sudden, major transformation. Instead, my clients took small, incremental actions to better the workplace relationship. And I mean small- like saying Good morning or Have a good night when you pass the person in the office, offering to grab him or her a latte on a coffee run, or giving an affirming smile or nod after the person makes a helpful comment in a meeting. You cant change the other person. But you can change the energy you spend on him or her- from negative and resentful to positive and generative. Little by little, these small gestures will help fill you with (at least a little) positivity about the person who irritates you. 5. Control What You CanOne of the biggest stressors I see in the workplace is the desire for people to control what they cannot. They wish their boss was nicer, the company had a different culture, or their colleagues were more likable. But, as you probably know, your real leverage lies in the things you can control. Sean certainly could not control Jacksons legendary voicemail tirades, but she was able to take a few deep breaths, ask for more specific facts, avoid responding with knee-jerk emotion, and get to the heart of the message underneath the outbursts. dorfwiese and frustration are a choice you make. Instead, choose behaviors that allow you to manage conflict more effectively and with a more positive mindset.6. Take a BreakSometimes, you just have to step away from the people who arent allowing you to be your very best self. There were days, for example, when Sean simply responded that shed get back to Jackson at a later date or time. No one needs to be a hero every hour of the day. You can excuse yourself from a hallway conversation, choose a day to work remotely, or plan a day that involves absolutely no meetings with your colleague. Sure, it cant be every day. But when you need to take a step back, do it.Its not all unicorns and rainbows in the workplace, thats for sure. For every person you love working with, its likely therell be another you find equally repellant. But if you take specific steps to make that relationship more of a generative force and less of a negative one, youll find more success, satisfaction and support in your work.

5 Ways You Should Research a Potential Employer

5 Ways You Should Research a Potential Employer5 Ways You Should Research a Potential EmployerResearch is key. Thats the definitive statement everyone at Vault makes when offering tips to college students about to embark on a dedicated internship or job search.Why do we tell people this? Most interviews begin with the question, So, what do you know about us? And if you dont do the research, you can end up making a huge job interview mistake right from the start, the type of mistake that is really hard to recover from. The best way to avoid that mistake is to just do the research.Here are some tips to help you through the process1. Use Vault.com Lets get the ausverkauf pitch out of the way. But in all honesty, if youre looking to research a potential employer to determine your own interest in working at a particular company, the best way is to learn from current employees. Vault sends out surveys every year to rank companies in a variety of industries and offers employees an anonymou s means to review their employer on such categories as quality of life, firm culture, leadership, etc. And users can be certain the employees actually work at the companies, so the comments made are official and carry a lot of weight with job seekers looking to work for a company that offers great pay and benefits, training opportunities, and a desirable work-life balance. And if you work in the legal industry, theres always the newly published Vault Guide to the Top 100 Law Firms, 2017 Edition. OK sales pitch is over.2. Find Employees or Former Employees If you know someone who works at a company or used to work at a company you are looking to interview at, its OK to reach out to them. At best, they may be able to put in a good word for you with the right people. At the very least, they should be able to give you a sense of what its like to work at the company. They may offer you some insight on what to say during the interview, which topics to avoid, and who to connect with for a better shot at getting your foot in the door. If you dont know someone, find contacts using LinkedIn and see if you can network with them or have someone you know facilitate a connection.3. The About Us Section If youre going in to an interview, you should know exactly how the company views itself. The best way to do that is to read through the companys About Us section on its website. This is where you go to get the complete Who, What, Why, Where, When, and How. When was the company founded, where is its main headquarters, who works there, who do they serve, what exactly is the companys function, what is its mission, and how does the company accomplish its goals. Get that company jargon down, so you can recite it perfectly in your own words and truly demonstrate your interest in working there.4. Research Your Interviewers This was discussed in a previous blog about panel interviews to help candidates better connect with interviewers. Its just as essential, if notlage more so, d uring the one-on-one job interview. Once you learn who is interviewing you, check out their profile on the companys website and find their information on LinkedIn. While LinkedIn does notify users when their profile has been viewed, those users should be impressed with your efforts to best prepare for an interview. You can always look at profiles in private mode, if you feel less awkward doing so. Take all the information you can find, including education, previous employers, and a list of accomplishments, and try to tie it into your own life. If you can find that connection and build on it, you may have found yourself an ally in the hiring process.5. Research News and Press Releases The best way to ascertain a companys goals, its achievements, its future, and the publics perception of the company is through the media. Company news may determine whether or not you want to work for a particular organization. And, when combined with your other research, it can certainly help you deve lop questions you can ask at the end of the interview. Thats a great way of highlighting your interest in the company and the job. In addition, if the company is receiving bad press, without actually mentioning the news item, you can use that to your advantage and answer questions in a way that highlights your ability to fix problems brought up in the article.Getting a job takes a lot of work and is not always centered on looking up job openings and filling out applications. Those who do the best with their job search go the extra mile. Make sure you stay ahead of the pack. Do your research. Be an informed job seeker.Like What You Read?

At the New Hampshire Motor Speedway, theyre thinking about winningand learning. The Formula Hybrid competition, now in its second decade, challenges racers to work within the constraints, and see the opportunities, of this alternative vehicle.A race allowing for inlet restrictors, it started using Formula SAE rules but major differences are found in the electrical drive system. That required fairly extensive safety rules for the electrical systems. Elements like maximum voltage insulation, battery safety systems, and mora come into play, says Doug Fraser, director of the Formula Hybrid competition.Perhaps the most significant segment of the event is the endurance stage. It has an energy limit and is run on a hilly section of the road course at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway. Drivers complete 22 laps of one kilometer each and it must be done on 35.5 megajoules, Fraser says.Therepresently are two categories of cars.Eventually organizers wantall hybrids but presently the field is filled by including electrics, he says.Every vehiclestarts with the same amount of energy. In a perfect world, drives would coast across the finish line on an empty fuel tank and Fraser said theyve had gruppes that pretty much did that.One such memorable moment was when the University of Texas at Austin team ran their systems completely dry, Fraser says. The car was on the track and stopped on the very last lap, needing five minutes to get 100 yards. The crowd, as he recollects, was just fired up by the drama of whether the team could finish.Events have also been scheduled in the past to focus on areas such as maneuverability and acceleration.Reliability, in the end, truly is key, as the majority of teams arrive still trying to finish their cars. For this problem, the organization has project management repo rts and status updates to try to keep them on track.MSOEs Formula Hybrid team took second distributionspolitik in the world at the Formula Hybrid Competition and first place in the United States.

David Roulo, who is now project manager for the team, says they focused on reliability.We had a cool idea for the transmission but we learned it had to be something for the future, says the mechanical engineering major. We decided to go with a chain drive for last years competition and made it all in house. It was machined by one of our sophomore members in our machine shop. There was a lot of work in finding the right gear reduction ratios. We had a lot of underclassmen and were asking them to do a lot outside of what they were learning.The competition has seen much growth in enthusiasm. Finishing fourth in 2015, we attracted mor e members and the second place finish has seen so many join,says Roulo.This year we have 15 seniors and 49 underclassmen. We have so many people who want to help.Team members are even working on the future now. You have a chassis were working on that could be a part of things as early as 2018, he says. Another group is working on a future pedal box. We never stop thinking.Roulo, who has been a part of the team since his freshman year and is now a senior, says he takes much more with him than just the thrill of competition.Ive gained great knowledge in how to operate machine shop tools a lathe, a mill. Its important in that it makes you learn to build your own parts, he says. That started from freshman year. I learned a lot more about electrical systems than I ever thought I would and gained knowledge of how a hybrid works and how to design a chassis for a racing application. It took extra effort to learn these things outside of class and, the great thing is, Im still learning.Eric B utterman is an independent writer.I learned a lot more about electrical systems than I ever thought I would and gained knowledge of how hybrids work and how to design a chassis for a racing application.

People always on social media share this commonality with drug abusers

People always on social media share this commonality with drug abusersPeople always on social media share this commonality with drug abusersWere all a little obsessed with social media. People talk about 15 minutes on Instagram as a mere warmup for the day, and its rare not to see commuters with their faces stuck in phones on public transit every morning.As social media becomes more and more accessible, its begun to warrant more attention from researchers trying to understand its power and sway. And academics at Michigan State University, McGill University, and Monash University have schwimmbad news for people who use social media excessively Your value-based decision-making skills may be akin to those of someone dependent on cocaine, methamphetamines, opioids, marijuana, alcohol, or other substances.Scientists know that individuals with substance use and behavioral addictive disorders have difficulty making value-based decisions, according to the study, which was published in the Jo urnal of Behavioral Addictions. However, its been less clear whether people who overuse social networking sites suffer from the same risky decision-making.Thats why researchers administered two tests to 71 participants. First, people took theBergen Facebook Addiction Scale survey to assess their psychological dependence on Facebook, similar to addiction, according to a press release about the study. Then, they went through 100 trials of the Iowa Gambling Task, an exercise that takes stock of value-based decision making.In the Iowa Gambling Task, social media users with more severe, excessive online habits were more inclined toward risky decisions, the study found.This result further supports a parallel between individuals with problematic, excessive SNS use, and individuals with substance use and behavioral addictive disorders, researchers wrote.With so many people around the world using social media, its critical for us to understand its use, Dar Meshi, lead author and assistant pr of at MSU, said in a press release. I believe that social media has tremendous benefits for individuals, but theres also a dark side when people cant pull themselves away. We need to better understand this drive so we can determine if excessive social media use should be considered an addiction.Whether our online habits constitute a medicalproblem or just a waste of time, its clear its doing things to our psychology that we probably dont want. So maybe it is time to try to distance ourselves from our screens, lest we start making decisions that get us in trouble.

Category 4 Moral Offenses for Joining the Air Force

Category 4 Moral Offenses for Joining the Air Force Category 4 Moral Offenses for Joining the Air Force The Air Force developed a classification of criminal offenses that break down crimes into five categories. Typically, these crimes are minor in comparison to all the classes of misdemeanors and felonies that are possible: Waiver Types There are eight categories of moral waivers reported on a Department of Defense wide basis: - minor traffic offenses - 1 or 2 minor non-traffic offenses, - 3 or more minor non-traffic offenses, - non-minor misdemeanors, - Juvenile felonies, - adult felonies, - pre-service drug abuse,   - pre-service alcohol abuse. The Air Force has taken the above list of organized them into five categories. Category 1 - These are major offenses and can only be waived by the Air Force Recruiting Service Commander or Vice Commander. These are typically serious crimes that include bodily harm to others, with or without dangerous weapons. Receiving the waivers are rare. Category 2 - These are also considered major offenses by military law / recruitment standards but less serious compared to Category 1 crimes. These can only be waived by recruiting group commanders or sub-commanders. Category 3 - These are still serious offenses but can be waived by the Air Force Recruiting Squadron Commander. Category 4 - These are less severe criminal offenses and a series of these in a given time period (3 offenses in a year) that show a pattern of moral issues can still be waived by the Air Force Recruiting Squadron Commander. Category 5 - These are traffic offenses, but a series of irresponsible driving (6 or more in a year) will require a waiver from the Air Force Recruiting Squadron Commander. Of all the service branches, the Air Force allows the fewest moral waivers into its ranks, typically less than 5 percent of recruits require moral waivers. AFRS Instruction 36-2001, Air Force Recruiting, lists the below offenses as Category 4 Moral offenses. This list is just a guide. The Air Force will consider violations of a similar nature or seriousness as a Category 4 offense. When in doubt, the Air Force will consider any offense in which local law allows for confinement for less than 4 months as a Category 4 offense. Two conviction or adverse adjudications during the past 3 years or 3 or more convictions in a lifetime for any of the offenses listed is disqualifying for entry into the Air Force. The waiver approval authority is the recruiting squadron commander. Abusive language under circumstances to provoke breach of peace.Altered identification when intent is to purchase alcoholic beverages.Careless or reckless driving (see note).Check: $50 or less, insufficient funds, or worthless.Curfew violation.Committing or creating nuisance.Damaging road signs.Disorderly conduct, creating disturbance or boisterous conduct, disturbing the peace.Driving with suspended or revoked license or without license (see note).Failure to appear, comply with judgment, or answer or disobey summons. Failure to comply with an officer’s direction.Fare evasion (including failure to pay turnstile fees).Fighting, participating in a brawl.Illegal betting or gambling: operating an illegal handbook, raffle, lottery, or punch board.Juvenile noncriminal misconduct: beyond parental control, incorrigible, runaway, truant, or wayward.Liquor or alcoholic beverages: unlawful possession or consumption in a public place.Littering of dumping refuse near highway or other prohibited place.Loitering.Possession of indecent publications or pictures (other than child pornography). Purchase, possession, or consumption of alcoholic beverages by a minor.Racing, drag racing, contest for speed (see note).Shoplifting, larceny, petty larceny, theft, or petty theft (committed under age 14 or stolen goods valued at $50 or less).Tobacco; unlawful possession or purchaseTrespass on property.Unlawful assembly.Unlawful use of long distance telephone lines or any electronic transmission method.Use of telephone or any electronic transmission method to abuse, annoy, harass, threaten, or torment another. Wrongful appropriation of motor vehicle, joyriding or driving without owner’s consent (if the intent was to permanently deprive owner of vehicletreat as grand larceny/grand theft- auto ( Category 2 )).Vagrancy.Vandalism, defacing or injuring property.Violation of fireworks law.Violation of fish and game laws. The Air Force will have to justify each and every waiver on a case by case basis and the needs of the Air Force, the good of the Air Force will be the overriding determining factor of receiving any such waiver.

do not use a video resume

do not use a video resume do not use a video resume A reader forwarded me this email  from a job applicant, which she notes was sent after we posted a job listing with the explicit instructions to follow a link and apply through our online form: Heres my video resume it highlights my experience, qualifications, etc.: (LINK REDACTED) Its about 2 minutes, then it downloads my paper resume, references, etc. I have a lot of experience in this area. After reviewing my resume I think youll agree Im the person for the job. The readers comment: A video? Really? And I have to sit through it to get to your paper resume? Is this becoming popular for real, or is it just another gimmick that people are trying? Yeah, its yet another bad idea being sold to job-seekers by people who dont hire and thus have no real idea whats effective with employers and what isnt. Add it to the growing list, along with creative resume designs, QR codes, and other gimmicks that no one who actually hires people for a living recommends. If you take a look at the people pushing video resumes, theyre all either (a) making money in some way off of it or (b) self-appointed career experts with no significant experience managing and hiring (which should deny them that right to advise on any of these topics, but thats another post). If you feel like doing this guy a favor and simultaneously giving the bad-career-advice industry the slap-back that they deserve, Id send him a quick note back and say, Like most employers, we dont accept video resumes. Please follow our application instructions if youd like to be considered.

This Valentines Day, Find a JOB You Love!

This Valentine’s Day, Find a JOB You Love! This Valentine’s Day, Find a JOB You Love! Everyone wants to find a perfect job to love, but it can be elusive. That’s why this Valentines Day, we at Simply Hired have decided to focus on helping you find that dream job. We’ll leave the relationship stuff to other websites. Before we dive in, we should preface this by saying it’s very rare to find a job that you’re happy with all the time. Just like any relationship, every job has its ups and downs â€" there is no way to avoid this reality. However, you can find a job where the ups outweigh the downs, and the chance for work to make you truly happy abounds. Here are seven tips to help find that sought-after job: 1. Set a career mission Just as in love, it’s impossible to find what youre looking for in your career if you dont know what you want. So think about where you want to be at the end of your career, and what you want to have contributed.  Do you want to own your own company or become a published author? Maybe you want create the next great mobile app or find a position with enough flexibility to spend time with your family. Whatever your mission, use it to help you select a job that will help you reach your goals. Although it may be unrealistic to know exactly what you want to accomplish in your entire career, having an idea to work from is much easier than going at it completely blind. 2. Know what you value In order to find a job you truly love, you need to know what you value. Think about what items are important to you in a job. Whether you want flexibility, a big salary, the opportunity for creativity, or security, if you know what you value, you can better identify if a company and job is a fit for you. 3. Know your strengths One of the best ways to find a job you love is to pursue jobs where you can excel. You should play to your strengths. If you’re an extremely creative person, look for a job that demands creativity. If you excel at leading teams, develop a career in management. If you’re persuasive and love talking to people, consider a job in sales. Determine the skills you possess and then start mapping them to potential careers. 4. Recognize your weaknesses Many job seekers get distracted by company perks, salary, and other factors, and neglect to think about the qualities of a potential job that indicate it may not be a good match. If you’re a night owl, a job that requires you to be ready to work by 6 a.m. won’t be a good fit no matter how great that 401k match. Make sure you honestly identify your weaknesses and preferences to truly find a job you love. 5. Find a mentor Mentors can be a great inspiration. They can give you direction, assist you in decision-making, introduce you to important connections, and help you grow as a professional. They can also help you identify what to expect out of your job and in your career. Consider finding a more experienced colleague in your field to help you evaluate your potential dream job opportunities. 6. Research the job When considering a new job, many candidates make the mistake of trying to “win” the job rather than truly evaluating if the job is a good fit for both the company AND the candidate. Make sure you know what you are getting into before the first day of your “dream job.” Find out what former employees say about the company. Read up on people’s experiences in different departments. With this information you can make an educated decision about whether a potential job is a good fit. 7. Evaluate all of your options Since job listings moved to the web, it has become increasingly easier to miss a great job opportunity. There are just too many job listings and too many websites. This is where a site like SimplyHired.com comes in handy. Since Simply Hired indexes all the job listings on the web, a job search here means youre seeing all the jobs currently available. In order to avoid sifting through thousands of openings on job search websites, use search filtering to zero in on the jobs for you. Be sure to enter in your level of experience, location, and job type (full or part time). This will enable you to see only those jobs that are relevant to you. Now you have seven tips to help you find a job you love! Good luck and happy Valentine’s Day!

Hiring Candidates with an Aptitude for Better Customer Service

Hiring Candidates with an Aptitude for Better Customer Service Hiring Candidates with an Aptitude for Better Customer Service Hiring Candidates with an Aptitude for Better Customer Service Waldrop A job seekers work history tells a story about his skill set. But how do you know he or she has the customer service skills to keep your customers returning for more? When hiring to fill jobs such as customer service representative roles, focus your hiring process on what he can do for your customers, rather than the job skills they performed for previous employers. Much of this comes out during the initial contact. Is their cover letter directed at you? Or, is it a generic one size fits all? Does he or she care enough about your business to remember that he applied to work with you? Or, when you call for a phone screening, is there a pause after your introduction? Someone who is sincerely personable and takes the time to make you feel important is likely to act the same toward your customers and deliver great customer service. Assessing the Candidates Social Skills As a professional recruiter, I often focus on a candidates communication skills, starting with our first interaction. For example, I recently left a message for an applicant to set up an interview. When my call was returned, I was not greeted. All I received was, I got a missed call from this number. This individual did not have the manners to greet me or to engage in a polite dialogue. I was not impressed and he was not interviewed. Our customers would not be captivated by this attitude. In everything you do in the recruiting and selection process, I strongly think youre looking for people who demonstrate throughout that process, that its not all about them. Its a lot about other people, says Joseph Michelli, Ph.D., an organizational consultant, speaker, and author of several books on companies that excel in customer service. Customer Service Increases the Bottom Line Businesses often form their profits through customers, says Michelli. Thus the key to great customer service is to know your customers and find the right people to serve them. If we dont understand customers and we dont figure out how to deliver products to them in ways that emotionally engage them, its pretty difficult to sustain customer loyalty, says Michelli. Michelli suggests hiring people with the emotional intelligence thats required for great service. Companies Branded to Please The Ritz-Carlton has been lauded numerous times for its customer experience.In 2015, 24 of its properties in the U.S. received the Five Diamond Award from AAA. The luxury chain has also received awards from Forbes, Cond Nast Traveler, Travel + Leisure, and U.S. News World Report. The Ritz-Carlton is the only hotel company twice honored with the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award from the U.S. Dept. of Commerce. The individuals employed by the luxury hotel chain are a critical driver in the companys success. The Ritz-Carlton strives to hire the best of the best, says Steven H. Holt, Regional Director, Public Relations, The Americas, The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, L.L.C. The Ritz-Carlton has crafted a very specific selection process to hire service-driven Ladies and Gentlemen who understand hospitality. Its the Ladies and Gentlemen of The Ritz-Carlton who engage our guests. They are our most important resource in our service delivery, says Holt. Individuals who are selected to work at The Ritz-Carlton are able to anticipate guest needs and represent the brands culture by providing the finest personal service. How to Find Employees with a Sincere Desire to Please Finding applicants with customer service skills is facilitated by asking the right interview questions. One of my favorites is, Tell me about a time when a customer had a not-so-good experience and you made it better. If the applicant has limited experience with customers, sharing a situation at school or in the neighborhood will suffice. Pay attention to an individuals demeanor on the phone and in person. Is he polite? Would you want to conduct business with this person? Would you feel comfortable asking for a favor? The ideal customer service professional wants to be that go to person who enjoys assisting customers. He or she has a service heart someone who shares takes pride in how they made a difference for a customer. Customer Service Demands on the Upswing A 2012 survey from the National Federation of Independent Business reported that 60 percent of small business owners (businesses with 250 or less employees) saw better customer service as their entire competitive strategy. Prioritizing customer service makes sense from a business standpoint. Michelli says that small businesses often have a hard time competing with large companies on price and distribution. Where they can have the advantage is being more nimble in the way they create customer solutions, and being more personal. Its those applicants who are humble and focused on others who take the best care of customers. They are more likely to improvise to create great human interaction, says Michelli.

The Pros and the Cons of Both Parents Working

The Pros and the Cons of Both Parents Working The Pros and the Cons of Both Parents Working Raising children is expensive, no matter where you live. But in the U.S., it’s arguably more difficult to navigate the financial challenges of combining family and career. That’s because the United States is unique in its lack of social programs to support working families. The U.S. is one of the few developed nations to offer no mandatory paid parental leave, no universal health care, and little childcare assistance for families living above poverty level. At the same time, real wages have cratered since the Great Recession, and jobs have grown greedier than ever. It’s not uncommon for many professional jobs to demand 50 or 60 hours a week from workers. That’s just the baseline; if you want to ascend the corporate ladder to the C-suite, you may find yourself working nearly 24/7, checking in with the office via Slack or email long after the workday is done. Of course, many workers toil in industries where checking in via email sounds like a luxury. For retail and food service workers, the challenge is finding enough hours to add up to a living wage. Paying for daycare may be out of the question. Should Both Parents Work? The Pros and Cons As a result of all these factors, families find themselves making tough choices when it comes to working and raising kids. Chief among those choices: should both parents work, or should one parent stay home? 5 Reasons One Parent Should Stay at Home 1. The Cost of Childcare The most obvious cost savings for a stay-at-home parent: not having to pay for daycare or a nanny. According to a 2018 Care.com survey, the average weekly daycare cost for an infant is $211. (Costs vary, according to location. Childcare is typically more expensive in more populous metro areas.) A family care center is cheaper at $195, and a nanny is much more expensive at $580, but regardless, families find it hard to foot the bill. Per Care.com, 1 in 3 families now spend 20% of their annual household income on childcare. One in 5 families allocates more than a quarter of their income to childcare. So, simply not having to pay for childcare can be a big savings: over $10,000 per year, on average. 2. The Impact of Childrearing on the Primary Parent’s Income As a result of the high costs of childcare, many parents do the math and discover that it’s not worth it to keep both parents in the workforce. The salary of the lower-earning parent would be entirely eaten by taxes and childcare costs. That parent opts to stay home. In doing so, the parent avoids another impact of trying to juggle work and caregiving responsibilities: the financial hit that comes from being the primary parent. Many employers place a premium on availability, flexibility, and overtime â€" just the things that a working parent can’t offer. If you’re the person who leaves at 4:30 to pick the kids up at daycare and stays home when they’re sick, you may find yourself nixed from consideration when it’s time to hand out promotions. In many male-female couples, the female partner earns less to begin with. For that reason, as well as cultural expectations, she is often the primary parent and thus the person whose career takes a backseat to childrearing. That in turn whittles away at her earning potential, especially in the short-term. This cultural bias so ingrained, that even women who don’t prioritize caregiving over their career suffer an income penalty when they marry and have children. 3. A Potential Boost for the Other Parent’s Earnings Meanwhile, men experience an earnings bonus when they have a family. Research has shown that fathers earn 6% more after having children, while mothers earn 4% less. Leaving aside cultural bias, there are other reasons â€" many of them obvious â€" why a stay-at-home parent boosts the earnings of the working parent. It’s easier to stay late at the office and impress the boss when your partner is holding things down on the home front. 4. Flexibility Daycares have regular hours, typically something like 7 or 8 a.m. to 5:30 or 6 p.m. Schools let out for the day between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. Even nannies have regular workdays … which don’t always line up with parents’ workdays. Having a stay-at-home parent means not having to deal with the patchwork childcare plan most working parents have to cobble together. It also means not juggling last-minute changes when someone gets sick or other emergencies arise. 5. Quality of Life Most importantly, some families find that their quality of life improves when one parent is able to stay home. They may value the time spent with their children while the kids are small and enjoy having more hands-on time with family. It may also help everyone in the household experience less stress and get more rest, depending on the individual situation. 5 Reasons Both Parents Should Work 1. Investment in Your Career The average annual cost of a 4-year degree at a public college or university was $19,189 in 2015-16, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. About 7 in 10 students have student loan debt when they graduate. Parents who have spent a significant amount of money on their education and professional development may find it hard to walk away from that investment. 2. The Cost of Walking Away Further, parents who choose to stay home are sacrificing more than just a few years’ lost earnings. They must also take into account lost retirement savings, including any 401k match their employer may offer, and the impact of decreasing earnings on social security payouts. Their career trajectory as a whole may be affected, dragging down their earnings for decades after they return to work. Going back to their career may also prove more difficult than anticipated, requiring a further investment in certifications or training to reskill themselves for the current workforce. 3. Self-Esteem and Mental Health Work also provides more than money and benefits. For many workers, their job is part of their identity, and a source of pride and self-esteem. Leaving your career may be challenging if you identify with the mission of your employer or the products of your work. Becoming a stay-at-home parent means reorganizing your life around the priorities of others. Even if you commit to investing in self-care, it can be hard to go from relative independence to a stay-at-home lifestyle. 4. Research Shows No Impact on Kids’ Happiness Recent research shows that having a working mother has no impact on children’s happiness in adulthood. Further, the daughters of employed moms are often more successful in their later careers, while the sons of employed moms devote more time to caregiving and have more egalitarian gender attitudes. “People still have this belief that when moms are employed, it’s somehow detrimental to their children,” says Harvard Business School Professor Kathleen McGinn. “So our finding that maternal employment doesn’t affect kids’ happiness in adulthood is really important.” 5. Enjoyment Finally, of course, some people really enjoy their careers and would miss them if they walked away. When all else is equal, these parents may decide to continue working simply because they want to. And that, of course, is the best reason of all to make a choice â€" whether the parent chooses to work outside the home or become a stay-at-home parent.

5 easy ways to improve your morning commute mood

5 easy ways to improve your morning commute mood 5 easy ways to improve your morning commute mood 5 simple ways to improve your morning commute Have you ever woke up tired, ran for your train or bus and just missed it, spilt coffee down your white work clothes, or forgot your lunch you spent all of the night before cooking? Me too. In fact, these inconveniences happen so often to me, that sometimes I’m convinced I’m cursed. And even when the smallest thing goes wrong in the morning, without a doubt you will find me walking into work grumpy AF (a mood that is not easy to get out of).Not only does that negative mood lead to added stress, irritability and poor work performance for the rest of the day, it also inhibits me from fully enjoying lighter moments and positive  connections in the office.Follow Ladders on Flipboard!Follow Ladders’ magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and more!Upon realizing that how you  spend your morning  literally affects your entire workday, I decided to make the shift to make the most out of my morning commute, since it is unavoidable, and t hat way when I reach the office I know I’m set for a productive day.Of course we can’t control everything, like our physical surroundings (AKA getting stuck in traffic) or the actions of others (like sitting next to someone who talks way too loud on the train), but what we  can  do is take charge of our own actions and most importantly control our mindset.In order to do just that, here are the best ways to boost your mood during the morning commute, whether you have had a smooth or bumpy start to the morning.5 simple ways to improve your morning commute1. Stay off social mediaWhile this is easy for commuters who drive, it is probably one of the hardest habits to break for those who catch public transport every day. If you look around on public transport, you will most likely see masses of people with their eyes in their hands fixated on their phones. Some might be doing something productive, but most are probably endlessly scrolling their social media feeds.Stalking pictures on Instagram of people travelling around the world is  bound to have a negative impact on your mental wellbeing as you subconsciously  compare yourself to them. And research has shown that obsessive social media use negatively affects our mental and emotional wellbeing.While social media seemed like an easy way for me to pass the time in my morning travels, I started logging out of all social media apps the night before and limiting my use throughout the day. Within a week I had finished reading a book I had started on almost a year prior.2. Set positive intentionsIf your morning is filled with thoughts like, “I have way too much to do today” or “I really don’t want to get out of bed” this tip is really important for you.While setting goals is great as it helps drive productivity, setting intentions in conjunction with goals is even better. Getting into the habit of setting a daily intention based on what will provide you with the most benefits for that particular day, will h elp psych you up about the workday ahead. It’s important to use positive language to set the tone for the rest of the day.It can be as simple as “Today I will choose happiness”, or “Today I won’t sweat the small stuff”. You only have to hold onto that intention for one day, so it’s much more manageable than long-term goals. Writing your intention down while you’re on public transport or saying it aloud during your drive helps you gain clarity for the day.3. Listen to a podcast or your favorite playlistNothing gets me motivated like a really good playlist or a super motivational podcast. Whether it’s your own perfectly curated playlist of songs or Spotify’s  Morning Motivation  mix, it has  been proven  that music boosts your mood which consequently bumps your productivity.While music is a big part of my commute to work, some mornings when I’m craving something with a little more substance, podcasts are my go-to. They’re perfect to listen to on the way to work whether you’re driving, walking, or catching public transport.Listening to my favourite  productivity podcasts  helps put me in the best mindset for the day, but picking whatever genre suits you will put you in the best mood. If you’re after something that uncovers the daily routines and secrets to success of inspiring, successful women, then look no further than our  A Day In Progress  podcast. It is full of productivity hacks and inspiring personal stories  and will set the perfect tone for a workday.  4. Smile at someoneIt’s crazy how something as simple as a smile can be SO powerful. Like when a stranger randomly smiles at you (in a genuine not creepy way) you immediately feel happier and forget why you were in a bad mood.So when you partake in the physical act of smiling, it not only helps brighten others days, but it has also been proven to make you happy too. When your smile muscles contract they stimulate your brain’s reward system, in turn releasing endorphins and making you feel instantly happier.If you catch public transport you likely have multiple opportunities each morning to smile at someone. If you’re driving or walking, make an effort to smile at a passerby on the street before getting to the office, even on the days when you don’t feel like it.5. Get physicalStarting the day with some  physical activity  is known to have multiple benefits, and fitting it into your morning commute can be great for those who are short on time. While it might not be possible to walk or ride a bike the entire way to work, simple things such as getting off a stop earlier on public transport and walking to work from there can be really effective.I personally try to walk to the bus stop before the hour-long trip to the office, instead of asking for a lift. The fresh air and sun do wonders for my mood, and even research has proved that physical activity leads to  â€œgreater levels of excitement and enthusiasm”.Ultimately, your morning commute doesn’t need to be the source of daily frustration and anger. It IS possible to shift your perspective and turn a not-so-ideal situation (like commuting to work) into a valuable opportunity. Just remember you have complete control over your mindset each morning, no matter what life throws your way.This article originally appeared on A Girl in Progress.You might also enjoy… New neuroscience reveals 4 rituals that will make you happy Strangers know your social class in the first seven words you say, study finds 10 lessons from Benjamin Franklin’s daily schedule that will double your productivity The worst mistakes you can make in an interview, according to 12 CEOs 10 habits of mentally strong people
