You Too Can Avoid Distractions Easily

You Too Can Avoid Distractions Easily 7 Just like sleeping straight through the night is a challenge for many people, so too is finishing work without diversions. Here's what you can do to stay on course and finish what you start. 12 tips to take to heart 1) Deal with each annoyance separately. Too much noise where you're working? Move your work area, get the volume lowered (ask politely), use noise-canceling headphones or sound-isolating headphones. 2) Anticipate your bodily functions. Use the washroom before starting your next task, keep a glass of water handy in case you get thirsty, and have a box of tissues within reach if you're allergy-prone. 3) Reserve time for your distractions. That's why smoking breaks were invented.eval 4) Buffer yourself from zones of activity by sitting away from doorways at your office, the living room in your home or near windows facing a busy street. Unless out of your vicinity, it's tough to ignore sudden movements like a bird noisily flapping down to your windowsill or someone walking by with a stack of noisy faxes crinkling. 5) Organize your work area and keep it clean. Anything lying around is a physical stumbling block to work serenity, especially if placed between you and your computer screen. If a letter, bill or other document is lying on your desk, take care of it immediately or schedule it for later and then file it. If you have a physical inbox for snail mail, go through it first thing in the morning or at another regular time every day.eval 6) Get a faster computer. Having to wait for your computer to boot up, start a program or finish loading a file are all invitations to aim your mind elsewhere. 7) Get a faster internet connection and use multiple tabs when you browse the web. Anything to keep from waiting with a blank stare (and mind) while a web page is rendering or a download is finishing. 8) Close any computer applications that you aren't using. Every running application impacts the speed of the computer, and may tempt you when you least desire it. 9) Arrange the icons on your computer's Desktop and only keep the minimum necessary. Having many icons beneath your open windows increases the chance of you clicking on one by accident and interrupting whatever you were in the middle of doing. 10) Resist the urge to put all sorts of Google Widgets, Yahoo! Widgets or other Widgets on your computer's Desktop. Like my Digg Widget example â€" they encourage you to frequently ‘check the action on your Desktop' when you should be busy somewhere above the Desktop. 11) Mac user? Some suggestions just for you. 12) Remove any programs from your work computer that aren't related to the mission that you're trying to accomplish. There's a reason why Windows Solitaire may be one of the most popular pieces of software ever. If you can't uninstall these programs for whatever reason, at least remove any shortcuts to them from your desktop or Start Menu so that they can't tempt you when you're looking for Word or Openoffice. It isn't very surprising that most of these tips and warnings are computer-related. Computers are ubiquitous and most working people use one every single day. Technology has simplified our lives tremendously and will continue to do so, permitting us to perform many daily activities while planted in front of our monitors where in the past we would have needed to get up and walk away. In theory we should be more efficient but in reality people are more easily tempted towards distraction due to the ‘it'll only take a minute' syndrome. Scientists are working on the problem, but if you follow the steps above, you'll be well-prepared regardless.

Dilbert How Not to Answer in a Graduate Job Interview

Dilbert How Not to Answer in a Graduate Job Interview This strip from Dilbert speaks volumes about how not to answer in a graduate job interview. So What? A typical mistake graduates make in online application forms or graduate interviews being honest without substance. As in the strip, the interviewee is honest about his mistake and what he learnt. But apart from sounding slightly funny it didnt make any valuable claim for the job, or the work ethics of the person. So, Should I Be Honest At An Interview? Yes you should be honest in a job interview. But please remember, it is a business interview, the interviewer wants to know about you, your character, work ethics, in short, you need to sell yourself. And you need to show that you can do the job and want to genuinely work for the organisation. When answering at an interview, follow the STAR (What does it stand for?) technique, which I find best for graduate interviews at any level. How Should I Answer to Interview Questions? Whilst answering questions at interviews, try to use business words. Have a look at the keywords and skills businesses usually like to hear. As mentioned before, the STAR technique is a nice way to answer questions at an interview. Example of  the STAR Technique in Answering Questions Sentient Recruitment have put together this good article on answering, using the STAR technique. A Star story should be about 2 minutes long, and delivered with energy and enthusiasm, about a real experience you have had (it does not have to be a work-related experience, as long as it describes a relevant skill or behaviour). Question: Have you ever lead a team before? This is another reason why the STAR method is so powerful. The above question is a terribly closed question. You could answer: “yes”, or “yes”, on three separate occasions”, and move quickly onto the next question. But leadership is an important skill, and you  must  not miss this chance to shine. A lot of graduates would choose the easy answer here, but you have been given a great chance to impress, and do all the interviewers work for them. Lets build a STAR method story answer (Situation) “Yes, a relevant example being at my last company, where I was initially a software developer in a team of 6, developing a new finance module for our core accounting product.” (Task) “The project was critical, as the launch dates had been set with a lot of sales and marketing investment riding on the product being ready. However, the project was behind schedule when our team leader unfortunately became ill, and had to leave. (Action)  I had been sports team captain at school, where I loved the challenge and responsibility of leadership. So I volunteered to step in, and by using my technical analysis skills, spotted a few small mistakes made in the initial coding, that were causing the sporadic errors, and slowing us down. I then negotiated with our product director a small bonus incentive for the team, and budget for two pizza evenings, so we could pull a couple of late night shifts to correct the coding and catch up with the critical project landmarks. (Result) Though this took us 1.5% over budget, the software was delivered on time with a better-than-target fault tolerance. The project was seen as a great success, as the additional project cost was minimal, compared to the costs of delaying the launch, and the negative effect on our product branding. The team were delighted with the extra bonus, and I have now been officially promoted to team leader as a result. You need to practice your answers out loud, to ensure there is continuity and that you dont go over 2 minutes. The example above not only answers the leadership question asked, but also conveys that you have other skills and behaviours any interviewer would be interested in. Answering tough interview questions like this will work wonders, but answering poorly worded questions will really set you apart. 6

Teacher Letter of Resignation Example - Algrim.co

Teacher Letter of Resignation Example - Algrim.co Writing a resignation can be hard. Writing a resignation for a teacher can be even harder. Teachers are often required to write letters to their student body, parents, and faculty. Each of these letters require a special way to write the letter and address the audience you’re speaking to. If this is your first time resigning as a teacher, reading this guide in its entirety will help you prepare for writing your letter and provide you examples for getting your own started. Before we begin, let’s cover what your resignation should and shouldn’t say. What Should Be In Your Resignation Letter Whenever writing a resignation letter, here are some of the elements that should be within your resignation. Your contact information As with any business letter, a formal business heading should be at the top of the page. This should contain your full name, your mailing address, your phone number, and your email. Keep in mind, if you don’t feel comfortable including your mailing address to your letter to parents, use the schools address instead. An upbeat message All resignations should have a positive retrospective on the time you spent with the school. Don’t use this as an opportunity so share your frustrations. Use this as a way to thank everyone for the opportunity to work with both the faculty and the children. A reason for leaving You don’t need to be fully honest with your reason. But including a soft message as to why you’re moving on can always be nice. For example, mentioning that you are relocating or that you’ll be moving on due to an advancement opportunity. If you don’t have a good reason or if your reason truly is frustration, leave this part out of your message. A formal goodbye Always show sincerity and appreciation. This means saying goodbye to the faculty, students, and staff. Again, writing this with sincerity will have the best impact on you in the future. Mistakes You Can Avoid It deserves to be repeated; don’t air out your dirty laundry. This is the process of communicating your frustration with your position. Or frustration with parents and children. Your letter of resignation shouldn’t be a platform to communicate your disappointment. By doing this, it could be detrimental to your career. Remember, letters like this are strict pieces of your work history. Meaning, if you write your letter of resignation with frustration or with a lack of sincerity, it could follow you and be a reference for many years to come. Be sure you use this as an opportunity to show your cordial professionalism. Who Your Resignation Letter Should Go To As a teacher, you should write two resignation letters. One should be to the children and parents, especially if you resign during the school year. And the second should be to the principal and other faculty members. Your letter that is for parents should be written with a firm understanding that parents won’t have as much insight into your in-classroom experience. Meaning, keep your letter focused on positivity and showing your appreciation for being able to work with their children. The letter for faculty can be designed more specifically around the retrospective you’re having regarding the education system you’re working within. But once again, the more upbeat and positive focus your letter has, the brighter it will shine on you as an employee. How to Send Your Letter of Resignation to Parents School faculty and administrators may be able to help you in preparing printed letters that can be sent to every mailing address on file from the children that you work with. Sending a printed letter to parents is the recommended form of delivery. It is more professional and ensures that the parents may see this letter versus email addresses, which can often change or be incorrect when filing with the school administrator. When submitting your letter to your principal, faculty or educational board, the best method is to send by email. Example Resignation Letter to Parents Below is a sample resignation letter that you might send in printed format to all parents of the children you were an educator for. Susan Smith susan@smith.com 630-756-4448 May 1st, 2020 Dear Parentsâ€" This year has been special for so many reasons. Firstly, I had the privilege of being able to work with your children. Each one of them has been special. While being able to educate your children, I was able to learn more about being an educator too. I can recall many bright in-classroom moments where I had the opportunity to see your children smile, be challenged, learn, and develop into the incredible young adults I expect them to be. With that said, it is with a heavy heart that I have decided to move into a new position at a new school and education system. For me, this is an advancement opportunity. And I must embrace this opportunity. It will be difficult not to see your children on a regular basis. But I want to thank you for all that you’ve done and the moments that I’ve been able to share with your loved ones. Thank you so much, Susan Smith Resignation Letter to Faculty Below is a sample letter of resignation that should be sent to faculty and your principal. Before you send a letter of this nature, you should be sure to sit down with your principal or school administrator to ensure that they have knowledge of your desire to resign and leave the education system. Writing and sending a resignation letter without verbal notice will catch all of your faculty members off-guard. And this can be a terrible way to resign. Susan Smith susan@smith.com 630-756-4448 May 1st, 2020 Dear Facultyâ€" Today is a hard day for me, I am resigning from one of the best education environments I have had the pleasure to be part of. Being your colleague has been nothing but spectacular and special. While I’m leaving due to and advancement opportunity for myself, I know I will not be able to replace the incredible staff that is part of this wonderful education system. I have shared so many special memories with each one of you. And you all make wonderful teachers, educators, administrators, and people. I want to thank you for letting me be part of your life and be part of this school system. Thank you so much for everything, I will miss each one of you dearly. Sincerely, Susan Smith

Raising Girls Who Can Stand on Their Own Two Feet

Raising Girls Who Can Stand on Their Own Two Feet Hi, I’m Brian, and I’m a business executive who’s been fortunate enough to have had a rewarding career throughout the past several years. I’ve helped build some world-class brands and companies, including IMAX and Coupons.com, and created hundreds of jobs in the process. But I’m also a dad of two young girls. And it was spending time with my daughters that inspired my latest efforts   with The Startup Squad and set me on the course for what I believe is my most important project thus far. In Spring 2019, the first book in  The Startup Squad, a book series and brand for elementary age girls, will be released by Macmillan Publishers with the hope of inspiring girls around the world to start their entrepreneurial journeys. I’ve been working on this project for the past four years, and I’ve poured my heart and soul into it. Why? Because I believe that entrepreneurship will empower girls to realize their potential, no matter their passions. My goal with this book series isn’t to turn every little girl into a business owner or CEO (although, wouldn’t that be great?). But I do fully believe that the experience of entrepreneurship â€" learning basic business skills, grit, a growth mindset, and most importantly how to fail and get back up to try again â€" will help girls reach their potential in life no matter what they want to do or who they grow up to be. My Inspiration Let me take you back to when my oldest daughter was eight. She was introduced to the exciting world of sales when she was tasked with selling Girl Scout cookies, and then when she fumbled around trying to run a charity bake sale with a friend. She was enthusiastic, her attitude was positive, she was so motivated to be successful! The problem was, she didn’t know what to do. Literally. She wanted to be successful, but she didn’t know what practical steps to take in order to get that cookie badge or raise money for her organization. When I saw that she was eager but, honestly, clueless about how to sell, I realized then that the basics of sales, marketing, and customer service escaped her.  Of course, she was eightâ€"so my expectations weren’t sky high. But this experience did get my wheels turning. Let me pause right there and switch gears to talk about the Rainbow Fairies. I promise there’s a connection, just hang with me. Those of you with young daughters who know about this 100+ book series are probably cringing a bit. Not to offend anyone (my youngest daughter probably read the whole series), but the Rainbow Fairies books are the lowest common denominator of marketing to girls. It was book number 50-something of the series that pushed me over the edge as I was reading it to my youngest daughter one night. We can do better . . . Really? Is this the best we could do for reading material? I give the series a little credit for stirring my daughter’s imagination and desire to read. But she could have gotten the same benefit from reading Who Was Helen Keller while being inspired, empowered, and uplifted at the same time. I searched for a “take the world by storm” sort of book for my girls that had an entrepreneurial focus, but I couldn’t find exactly what I was looking forâ€"so I decided to take matters into my own hands. If I couldn’t find the type of material I wanted my girls to read, I would create it. On that Sunday morning, June 22, 2014, a lightbulb went off in my brain. I thought about my oldest daughter, struggling to understand the very basic nature of how to run a business. I looked at my youngest daughter and what I was intellectually feeding her via the Rainbow Fairies. And I made a decision: I would create a book series for elementary school girls that would inspire and nurture their entrepreneurial spirit. I wanted to get girls excited about opening their first lemonade stand and to teach them basic business concepts. I wanted my girls to grow up understanding how capable and smart they are and to give them the tools to succeed, regardless of the paths they choose later in life. Girl Scout cookies and Rainbow Fairies came together in one significant moment, and I decided to create a brand for elementary school girls that would inspire and nurture their entrepreneurial spirit. My Belief I understand that little girls have dreams, and often those dreams are inspired by the things they see on TV or in movies or on the toy aisles. I’m not trying to knock any particular brand or business, but neither do I want to concede that all girls are wired the same, think the same or gravitate to the same type of marketing that we see day in and day outâ€"marketing and messages that tend to generalize what young girls want or aspire to be. Because I firmly believe this to be true: Not every girl wants to be a princess. Some girls want to organize the staff and run the castle. Some want to lead the charge by designing and building the moat. Other want to break that uncomfortable glass slipper and open a company with better footwear. Let me be clear: I’m not saying that in order for a girl to ultimately be successful, she has to find a place where she’s the boss. I don’t believe that, either. But I do believe that the basic principles of entrepreneurship are valuable ones to learn. Life-changing, even. The Startup Squad is about helping girls reach their potential, whatever their passions. About inspiring them to become more than they can imagine. About teaching them basic life skills. And about showing them that failure is simply an opportunity to growâ€"that being successful is about getting back up and trying again. My Hope This has been an amazing, humbling, frustrating, but more than anything else rewarding four-plus years. The impact on the girls who have read the initial manuscript I wrote has been beyond my wildest expectations: 88% of nearly 100 beta reader girls said that the manuscript made them want to start their own businesses, and a number of them already have! I can’t wait to impact more girls around the world and help create the next generation of female leaders. My ultimate hope in creating The Startup Squad is that each young girl who is impacted by it, whether she’s opening her first lemonade stand or launching her business on Shark Tank, will learn to embrace her unique gifts, believe in her abilities, and break the proverbial glass ceiling. While the first book in The Startup Squad series won’t be released by Macmillan Publishers until spring 2019, there are a few ways you can support some incredible girl entrepreneurs as well as help to discover and inspire others. In the back of the first book in our series, we are going to feature one real-life girl entrepreneur and her business. Please take a minute to visit TheStartupSquad.com and read about our contest and our first contestants â€" these girls are amazing! If you know any other promising young girl entrepreneurs, we’d love for you to get the word out and encourage them to enter. Also, please share our gallery of entrepreneurs, which includes links to their websites, to support these amazing girls and help them inspire the girls that will follow.

7 Things to Look for When Hiring for Emotional Intelligence - CareerMetis.com

7 Things to Look for When Hiring for Emotional Intelligence Hiring an employee based solely on their intelligence level and work experience isn’t enough anymore. These days, business relationships When you have all of those attributes going for your company, that’s when the magic happens: Fewer problematic Sorrow, frustration, and exhaustion are often thought of as weak emotions. The fact is, they are perfectly legit human responses that everyone experiences often. The same is true of positive emotions.But, if someone refuses to acknowledge their own feelings and is incapable of relating to basic emotions expressed by others, that is a true sign of an emotionally immature person.Recognize this EI trait in an interview by expressing some of your own emotions and observing the response.Does your applicant laugh in discomfort or shift in their seat silently or do they nod their head in understanding and as an act of solidarity? Do they seem to hit an emotional wall or do they reciprocate with an honest, vulnerable response?2. They Acknowledg e Weaknesses Without Self-DeprecatingThere is a big difference between taking personal responsibility, admitting fault, and being sincerely sorry about making a mistake versus losing focus on the issue, getting worked up about all your faults, and turning to self-pity.evalThe first response is a positive and healthy way to handle a mistake while the second response shows immaturity and selfishness You understand that each past and present event affects personality and moods. You also tend to give others the benefit of the doubt.Recognize this EI trait in an interview by asking the applicant to describe their most challenging supervisor. Why was that person so difficult? How did the applicant manage the professional relationship?Listen for empathetic responses explaining why the supervisor was difficult, such as work pressures or background differences. If the applicant explains that they had a successful working relationship despite the difficulties, that’s a good sign.4. They Kno w How to Be FlexibleMany people brag about being a perfectionist or someone who likes to maintain control of any situation. The truth is, however, being flexible is a more emotionally mature trait to possess.Being able to change course quickly while maintaining focus, or having the ability to reassess and reestablish a new focus mid-plan, is necessary in modern business.Recognize this EI trait in an interview by asking how the applicant handles surprises. Ask them to give an instance of a time when everything went wrong and how they kept going anyway.You’re looking for responses that prove they maintained their composure, confidence, and maybe even their sense of humor until they found an alternative way to reach their goal.5. They Live a Balanced LifeevalWhile you want an employee who is extremely motivated and capable, you still want someone who is self-aware enough to naturally know the importance of living a healthy, happy life.If they take care of themselves physically, menta lly, emotionally, and spiritually on top of their work life, you’ve got someone who is well-adjusted and won’t risk burnout.evalRecognize this EI trait in an interview by asking how the applicant defines success Recognize this EI trait in an interview by walking the applicant through a scenario such as a dissatisfied client complaining about unmet expectations. Ask them what red flags could have been waving before the client spoke up. Also, how would they prevent similar situations from happening in the future?CONCLUSIONThe thing with emotional intelligence is that you won’t recognize it, or know if someone else has it, if you don’t possess it yourself. Even if you do think have it, continually fine-tuning your own emotional intelligenceis a life-long endeavor, not one that stops once you find it.An interviewee could easily give you the “correct” answers to any of your EI questions, but if you are emotionally intelligent you will be able to catch disingenuous, canned res ponses immediately. When you do happen to find a truly emotionally intelligent applicant, you will feel a human connection that can’t be faked. This is when you know you’ve found the right candidate for the job.

Tips for Job Search After 50 - CareerAlley

Tips for Job Search After 50 - CareerAlley We may receive compensation when you click on links to products from our partners. There is nothing like experienced job candidates for employers, but that doesnt mean looking for a job when you are 50 years old (or older) will be a piece of cake. First off, if you look older, many hiring managers will think twice about hiring you (sorry but true). Why? Just like everything else in life, there is an age bias when it comes to hiring. Maybe they think you will be too slow, not know new technology or may have an issue learning new stuff. source Whatever the bias (and there are many), there are 10 times as many good reasons for hiring managers to hire older job search candidates. The trick is to find the right opportunities for you and to convince the hiring manager that you are the best person for the job. Following are some tips. Keep Your Resumes Short You know youve got lots of experience, but if your resumeis too long (a delicate balance) it could be a red flag. Ensure you are using resume formats that are current and popular (some links follow). Remove or one line very old jobs. Definitely list your education, but leave out the year(s) you graduated and no need for a GPA. Staying motivated when you have a goal can be tough, especially if that goal seems far away. If your goal is to land the job of your dreams, youll often have to spend months, or even years attempting to get to where you want to be. However, that doesnt mean you shouldnt do it! If it was easy, wouldnt everybody be going out there and picking and choosing what they wanted? Where would the fun in that be? Enjoying your journey, the contrast in it, and learning from it is one of the best ways to improve your life! Staying Motivated On a Course To Your Dream Job Ensure you show that you have current skills (like Excel, PowerPoint or whatever is relevant for your industry/job type). Check your prior experience on your resume and make sure they reflect current terminology for your industry. Make sure youve listed major accomplishments for each job and try to show how this has either saved the company money, added sales or where youve created efficiencies. Resumes for Older Workers How To Print Your Resume Professionally 12 Cover Letter Rules You Must Follow Photo by rawpixel on Unsplash Leverage Peers in Your Network If you have lots of experience, you should have lots of contacts in your network. Focus on your contacts that have a similar level of experience. They are more likely to have or know of opportunities that are in line with your level of experience and will understand the value of many years of experience. Knowledge is power and it can only help if your network is aware that you are looking for new opportunities. The best-kept secrets will not help you in this case. You should already have a presence on one or more business network sites (if not, now is the time). Review your contacts and profile and update as necessary. Recruiters (both internal company recruiters and 3rd party recruiters) depend heavily on business network sites for sourcing candidates.

The second thing you should do (the first being apply for unemployment) is to examine your fixed costs (stuff like rent/mortgage, utilities, credit card payments, etc.) and figure out what you need to do to meet these expenses. Many lenders will work with you if youve generally paid on time and are in a tough situation. Discretionary spending is easier to control, but how much less do you want to eat?

Work Trends - Resume Trends in Modern Times

Work Trends - Resume Trends in Modern TimesThroughout the years, resume trends have changed dramatically and its trends will continue to evolve. There is no one definite answer as to why resume trends have changed over the years. It is interesting to note that career development trends have also changed over the years, and we all know how important career development is for every new employee, whether they are fresh out of college or they have been with a company for years. I think it is safe to say that people in the United States, regardless of their age and career history, are interested in improving their career status and getting a raise and promotion.In recent years, a combination of globalization and the Internet have led to increased job opportunities for individuals all around the world. The global market has helped to facilitate more hiring opportunities by employers all over the world. This has certainly helped to bring in a large number of people from countries where hiri ng has not been a priority. Employers worldwide are more aware of the importance of employing people from their respective countries, and they are trying to hire people from these countries to help grow their companies in those countries. They are also recognizing the value of these people from other countries and providing them with greater pay and benefits, to bring about a stronger bond between employees of various countries and their companies.These changes have affected more than just employment; it has also affected the different geographic areas of the world. A person could live in Miami, go to school in Atlanta, and work in any company in the state of Georgia in search of a promotion. By the time they get there, it could be too late to catch that promotion if they do not already have a job. The globalization of the United States has had a huge impact on our society and our economy.Just a few years ago, most companies were still going through a hiring freeze and were only usi ng the internet to promote themselves. Most people in the United States did not have access to the internet, and when they did, the only way that they could find out about jobs was to apply online. Recruiters were widely used, and the technology that was used was very outdated. Now, technology has evolved, and recruiters are viewed as an integral part of the recruitment process. Companies are now utilizing the recruiter as an arm of the business rather than an outsider that come in and ruins the image of the company.Virtual recruitment has led to the automation of many recruitment processes. By having a recruiter connect with a prospective employee, the recruiter can begin the hiring process as soon as the person submits their resume online. This eliminates the recruiter from the hiring process, because they have no direct contact with the employee and are not in a position to introduce themselves to the employee. With the aid of technology, the recruiter has now become more of a fa cilitator, a bridge between the employer and the person who want to work for the company.Some companies have begun using recruitment systems that specifically gather data on the employment history of the prospective employee, to provide them with the right opportunities to make the right impression on their new employer. Many of these systems were designed to build the employer's brand, and they have the ability to recognize the strengths and weaknesses of the new employee. Some of these systems also have access to employee databases, which allow the recruiter to ask questions of the applicant without divulging any information. Recruiters have even developed specialized resumes that may be tailored to match the skills and personality of the person they are interviewing. Their resume is the basis for the entire interview process, and their resume should be as good as their entire CV.Because of the fast pace of technology, some of the older dating websites are now offering dating tool s that can help you find the person that you are looking for in a matter of seconds. These sites have completely revolutionized the dating scene. The concept of online dating has been around for many years but now it is becoming an increasingly popular dating trend as millions of people around the world have joined in this new concept.Work can also be searched online, and much of the information available is free, such as opening hours and other details about the company. It has really changed the landscape of work from being a boring, bureaucratic task to a highly interactive activity where employees and employers can interact face to face.
