How to Write a Great Cover Letter, Necessary or Not

How to Write a Great Cover Letter, Necessary or Not How to Write a Great Cover Letter, Necessary or Not Are cover letters actually necessary?Applicants dont know. Recruiters dont care. And hiring managers? Well, theyseem to be divided on the issue.But lets assume for a moment that you should, forany position towhich you are applying, include a cover letter. If that letter is read by your future boss, what should it say?For starters, it shouldnt look anything likethese three scary examples from David Silverman over at Harvard Business ReviewThe recap The resume in prose gestalt. Its redundant, harder to read than the resume, and provides no additional insight.The form letter This says, essentially, Dear Sir or Madam I saw your ad in the paper and thought you might like me. And its clearly a form letter where maybe they got my name and company right. If theyre lucky, I will still take the time to read their resume after being insulted with a form letter.The Im crazy This ones rare, a nd it expands on the resume of experience with some personal insights. Examples range from the merely batty (I find batik as an art form has taught me to become both a better person and project manager) to the truly terrifying (I cast a pentagram hex and the central line pointed towards your job listing. I know you will find this as comforting as I do.)There is a 17 percent chance a hiring manager will read your cover letter. With one minute and one page, a candidate can make or break their chances of landing the job. Heres how to aceyour cover letter, in case the hiring manager decides to read itKeep It ShortCover letters should take no longer than a minute to read. Dont write a story. The hiring manager doesnt care about your childhood dreams or the death of the family dog.Leaders are busy people dont burden them with wordy cover letters. Many applicants think that if they write long cover lettersor use a lot of $10 master of business administration words, a leader will be impress ed. They wont. If there is a shorter way to write it, do it.As for what youshould include a personalized greeting (To Whom It May Concern is gross), your professional skills, and why you are a good fit for the company. If there is room, point out why the company is a good fit for your dreams. As the head of an agency that works exclusively with HR technology, Id like to know if thats something that my applicants actually care about.Do What I SayFollow tradition and directions. Paper copies andWord documents aretraditional, but email is far more popular in todays marketplace. If someone sent me a paper resume, Id know immediately that they werent a fit for Red Branch Media. Conversely, someone who sees my job posting and applies solely via Facebook instead of my career site is elend going to be considered either.Read the application to see whether the hiring manager prefers an email cover letter or some otherform. Leaders notice if a candidate doesnt follow directions. The result a q uick rejection.Pay AttentionHiring managers look for reasons to disqualify applicants quickly. They receive a lot of applications (an average of 250 resumes for every corporate opening), and they cant possibly give them all the same amount of attention. So, they try to knock candidates out of the running as soonas they can.Phrases like the aforementioned to whom it may concern and the reason I left are ways candidates eliminate themselves from the race. HR departments in large companiesdont have time for candidates who dont at least personalize the salutation.As Ash Arnett of musicians PR firm PARTICULAR explained to Smashing Magazine, We trash generic inquiries (i.e. form letters) automatically. If you dont care to put in a little effort to tailor your communication to my company I sure dont care to read it.ProofreadTypos, like generic statements, will automatically disqualify you from the candidate pool. Seventy-six percent of hiring managers will not look beyond the cover letter if they find typos or grammatical errors. These red flags lead the hiring manager to think the candidate does not pay attention to detail or simply didnt care enough to edit. Neither of those aresought-after qualities in an employee.Give It a LittlePersonalityA well-written cover letter gives yourresume some context. Leaders want clear and concise language. They want to know why a particular candidate wants to work for the company and why they are a good fit for the position.Janet Albert of executive search firm Bridge Partners says, The best cover letterslet a bit of personality shine through, without being over the top but you really want to stick with how your experience lends itself to the job youre applying for.Cover letters open the door for candidates. Leaders want to see thoughtfully written cover letters. This means covering all the bases as seen above while remembering that despite all your hard work, a leader may never take the time to read your letter.

5 people with a commute that is stranger than yours

5 people with a commute that is stranger than yours5 people with a commute that is stranger than yoursNo matter if you buckle up and drive, grin-and-bear-it on public transport or hop on your bike to battle traffic on two wheels - the commute is a necessary evil for nearly professional.Its estimated we spend 8% of our workdays in the process of getting to and from work, depending, of course, on how far you have to trek. Thats a considerable amount of time over decades of working - but plenty of us forget what an impact it can have on our wertzuwachs and psyche.As the way we begin and end our day-to-day, our commutes have the ability to set our tone, perspective, and mindset. So when its over-the-top stressful and exhausting? It can take the air out of your tires, majorly.Thats why some people have dramatically transformed their commutes, all in an effort to make it more enjoyable, less-congested and well, not as temper-inducing. Shouting profanities before 9 a.m. likely wont reap y ou the best perspective when you hop on your first client call of the day, after all.From paddleboarding to paragliding and more, let these true stories of wacky commutes propel you to reconsider on youll get to work tomorrowPaddleboardingOverloaded highways, hot, sticky traffic jams in high heat and plenty of pollution in Miami inspired Parker Lake to shake things up. Or rather, splash things up He quit his job, traktement his car, found a home on the Little River, and decided to make his paddleboard his new mode of transportation. Today, he works two jobs (including a tour guide at Paddle Miami Watersports) and has lost 45 pounds.Sometimes he has to paddle three miles, and other days, its 12 miles to his gig as a security guard at Eden Roc Hotel. It doesnt matter to him though since he says the switch has made him happier, healthier and well, braver considering he once spotted a hammerhead shark on his way to clock in.ParaglidingWhile on vacation in Alicante, Spain, Paul Cox disco vered a newfound love for paragliding that would become more than just a thrill, but a solution. As a Royal Navy overseer, he was accustomed to brave feats, prompting him to create an extreme sports commute by flying his way to work.Whenever the weather allows, he makes the 10-mile journey from his back garden in North Wales to Holyhead Boatyard, helping him to soar into his workday with a clear head - and far less stress.RowingSeveral years ago, Gabriel Horchler had an epiphany Most of his commute in Washington D.C., to his gig as the head of cataloging at the Library of Congress, ran along the Anacostia River. So, in theory, he could spend time stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic, or he could row - a pastime hed always enjoyed.Once he gave this 90-minute commute a go, he was hooked and continues to row his way to the office, well into his 70s. To begin, he bikes to a park, hops on his rowing shell, docks it at a nearby community marina and then takes his second bike to the office. UnicyclingIf youve ever spent time in New York City, you know how crazy and unpredictable the metro system can be - no matter the time of year. Now consider this when its rush hour, it can be double the chaos and delays. To avoid the stench and the stress of the MTA, Benjamin Kieffer channeled his inner performer to get to his gig in midtown Manhattan.Inspired by circus school classes he signed up for, he wondered, why not unicycle to work? While his commute used to be something he dreads, these days, its one of his favorite parts of the morning.FlightWhat if flying from another city could actually be cheaper than getting to work from the outer boroughs of your current metropolitan? For social media manager Sam Cookney, this was just the case, prompting him to reconsider his location. After calculating the numbers, he realized living, working and commuting in London was more expensive than taking a daily early morning flight from Barcelona. By how much? Nearly $900.So he moved to t he heart of this Spanish city, where he catches a flight that gets him to his desk in London by 930 a.m. Though it takes 5-and-a-half hours each way, he usually uses the time to nap, and is able to work from home one day a week. In addition to saving on monthly expenses, hes definitely racking up those travel points, too.

Learn the Basics in the Art of Selling

Learn the Basics in the Art of SellingLearn the Basics in the Art of SellingSelling is an art. But unlike many other art forms, the art of schlussverkauf is something that most can learn. This doesnt mean that everyone can be good at sales, however. Many people new to sales are tempted to jump right into learning how to close a deal instead of learning the foundations of sales. Customers Are Priority One For a sales job to be a sales job, you will be expected to sell something. Whether you are expected to sell a tangible product or a service, you will always sell to a customer. Knowing that the foundation of sales begins with the simple yet powerful rule that your customers are your first and primary priority. While you will have to meet the expectations of your employer and sales manager, never let your focus to your customer weaken. If you start every work day by asking yourself how you can improve the service you provide to your customers, you will be well on your way to a lon g and successful career in sales. Sales is a Numbers Game Activity is a key to sales success. In general, the more prospects you talk with, the more likely it is that you will find someone who is ready to buy what you are selling. When rookie salespeople begin their careers, their sales skills are often raw and rough around the edges. To compensate for their less than fully developed skills, most sales managers will have very clear activity level expectations. Those new to sales should focus on not only packing in as much activity into each working day as possible but also to learn from their activities. Doing 100 cold calls in a day is impressive but possibly useless if your cold calling method produces no results. If you learn from your cold calling mistakes while improving on your cold calling successes, your activities will produce better and better results. Make Time for Training Sports and sales are very similar. Both athletes and professionals seek the thrill of victo ry, suffer through losses and need to train every day. What would happen if a professional athlete decided to skip training for a few days? If the training days skipped fell during the off-season, missing a few days would probably do more good than bad. But heres the thing In sales, there is no offseason. Sales professionals dont just sell on Sundays during Fall and Winter. They need to have their sales hats on every working day. An opportunity can come out of nowhere, anyplace and anytime. If you had been slack on your training for a few days or weeks, the opportunity that you werent expecting wouldnt be an opportunity for long. If, however, you devoted at least 15 minutes every day to improving your sales skills, youll always be ready to turn an opportunity into a sale. Spend Time With Veterans One of the most effective and quickest ways for a rookie sales professional to learn the finer art of sales is by modeling. Before you start practicing your runway walk, understand that modeling means to learn from someone successful. The formula is fairly simple If you do what someone successful does, youll be successful as well. Many would argue that if success were as easy as doing what successful people do then everyone would be successful. The truth is, however, that successful people do what unsuccessful people dont want to do. Their commitment to doing what is difficult, boring, challenging, hard and un-fun is what makes the successful, successful. The day after you start your new job, you need to find out who is the top sales professional in your company and ask him if you can take him to lunch. During lunch, ask him what made him successful and if he would be willing to meet with you on a weekly basis to mentor you. Most successful sales professionals are very busy but are also usually willing to help others earn success. Having a mentor from whom you can learn from and who is willing to point out your strengths and weaknesses is probably one of the great est secrets to success that any professional should learn about.

Why I Work Like a Millennial

Why I Work Like a MillennialWhy I Work Like a MillennialThe term millennial is mora than a buzz word its a complete culture. Millennials are changing the way things are done, fruchtwein notably the way we work. As the largest fraction of the U. S. workforce, its surprising to see companies resisting the profound impact of millennials. As they continue to change the workforce, here are a few reasons for why these changes are for the betterMillennials Made It More Productive to Work from Home Millennials understand that with all the technology we have, being in the amtsstube is not always necessary. Ive scheduled tweets through my phone. Ive used Facebooks apps to conduct full-on marketing campaigns while waiting for a movie to start. Ive booked interviews in an emaille exchange while on a train. Ive written blogs from hotel rooms across America the same types of blogs Ive written in the office. And if I could have had job interviews over Skype, Im pretty sure I can attend meetings ov er FaceTime. Technology has made the office anywhere you want it to be. However, many employers are hesitant to adapt to this change.I worked for the City where there was a strict policy against working from home they even invested millions on a program to track peoples work hours (it was called CityTime and it cost millions more when you factor in the corruption countless news sources have reported around the program). You had to clock in and clock out and it created a 9 to 5 culture that becomes a productivity killer. Now, think of how much money would be saved by employers if job performance wasnt measured by hours worked, but by how much you did during your work day. What a concept.If I can work from home, I will go above and beyond for my employer, and I have. I feel accountable for my work, but sometimes something happens in the day that takes me away from my computer. I dont want to lose the perk of working from home, so if I had to step away from 12 to 2 in the afternoon, I will more than likely work an extra three hours at night to make sure the work got done. And sometimes, when there are no office distractions, more work can be accomplished during those three hours.Millennials Make Work More Efficient At my last job, I used to joke that we would have meetings to prepare for our meetings. It made no sense that with the availability of email, chat, even workplace social media programs like Yammer, meetings are leise considered a necessity. In todays fast-paced environment, efficiency is key and anyone who has been in a meeting that begins with unnecessary banter, devolves into a contest of one-upmanship, and ends with the decision to schedule a follow-up meeting, knows that meetings can be extremely inefficient.Lets break it down further. There are 10 people in a room discussing a topic, but only one part is really talking at a time. When that person is talking, the other 9 people are sitting there listeningmany of them waiting for what is being said to apply directly to their function. In turn, those 9 people are not working. In many cases, they are only half-listening. But if there are 10 people on an email chain or using a collaborative work program, the email chain might take a little longer to conclude, but people are working at the same time the topic is being discussed. In addition, when work is conducted over email and a written record is created, the information is all there and can be easily searched if someone forgets something.Millennials are Eliminating Corporate Hierarchies and Making Work Fun A former employer did not like that I was friendly with people on all levels, from the woman who cleaned our offices to the secretaries and even top executives. Although it is important to remember your role in a company, being friendly coerces cooperation and teamwork. Heres a quick example My supervisor approved my request to have two computer screens so I can work faster using social media. She also approved my request to ask that I trade in my outdated Blackberry for a smartphone with better social media capabilities. Once I had both my requests fulfilled, she was shocked that I had better equipment than her. She hadnt realized that I was friends with the IT department (I even joined a basketball league with one of its team members) and they worked quickly to meet my needs.Millennials do not care about titles, statuses or salaries. They just want to get the job done in the most efficient way possible and they want to do so as part of a team. They enjoy the collaborative environment and know that the team is made up of people on all levels. They also want to work for a company that has a great culture because that usually leads to enjoying where you work. If that morning coffee with the cleaning lady makes a valued employee enjoy working for your company, why not make that extra effort? And when people buy donuts, go out to lunch with staff, pass cards around for birthdays or other celebrations, its not goofing off, its building a team a team of people who care about where they work and want to see their company succeed.Millennials Understand the Value of Experience Over Education I will never forget when a former boss was looking for an executive assistant and disqualified a bunch of people because she didnt like their education. She completely ignored the rest of their resume. She hired the person she wanted and that person quit six months later because she got a better job that she felt was more in line with her degree. The hiring process started all over again, which cost the company money, and all because she had pre-conceived notions about people based on their education. I was completely unsure why she had even hired me.Im a kid from the Bronx who learned just as much hanging out in Morris Park as I did in the classroom. I grew up broke, working at a Carvel to pay my college education, but when I graduated, I did not have student debt and Im doing pretty well for myself . I credit my work ethic to my achievements on the basketball court. I would lose to the same person over and over and all it did was make me work that much harder until I was able to beat that person consistently so that there was no doubt who the better player was. I take the same approach at work. I pay attention to the staff member everyone thinks works hardest and then do all I can to hustle harder than them. And, having to overcome more obstacles than those who were considered better educated than myself, I have become well adept at employing outside-the-box thinking to achieve results.I like to hire people who offer the same work ethic. When I was working at my last job and was interviewing candidates for a Deputy Director of Public Affairs, I ignored the robots who checked off all the right buttons during the interview and went with someone who offered compelling, unscripted examples of the work she performed for previous employers. Startups, predominantly made up of millenn ials, take the same approach. Unlike bigger companies that filter resumes based on education, startups are looking at your results and see more value in what you have achieved than the classes you took.We are growing in a new world. Its time to stop fighting the future and accept that millennials are singlehandedly taking the workforce to a new level. You cant fight change, but you can get left behind in its dust if you dont embrace it.Follow me on Twitter. Follow Vault on Twitter and Instagram.

15 Bad Work Habits to Ditch in 2019 - The Muse

15 Bad Work Habits to Ditch in 2019 - The Muse15 Bad Work Habits to Ditch in 2019I used to love making big, dramatic new years resolutions. Id promise to work out every day, stop eating junk food, or finally become fluent in Spanish.

In 2019, Ive decided I want to focus on making my work life as happy and anxiety-free as it can be.

This yielded a pretty robust listCheck out what schwimmbad habits Im avoiding this year, and see if youre guilty of them yourself.1. Skipping Breaks and MealsSometimes, I get so busy that I tell myself there isnt time to eat lunch or step outside for a breath of fresh air. And that simply i snt true.

Working When Im SickAt the start of my career, I had this idea that if I got sick, I needed to demonstrate my outstanding work ethic by pushing through it.

The Creative Exercise You Should Do Every Morning

The Creative Exercise You Should Do Every MorningThe Creative Exercise You Should Do Every MorningDo you begin your day with a creative exercise? Freelance designer, illustrator and editorial cartoonist Kevin Necessary starts with a sketch. And he believes its a habit that can do wonders for any creative professional (even a word nerd like me).How do you start your workday? Do you cannonball right into your fruchtwein pressing creative project? Slurp some coffee and scan your inbox? Scroll through social media updates and hope the urge to procrastinate magically dissipates?Me? I have a history of doing all of those things upon plopping down at my desk. But thanks to illustrator and designer Kevin Necessarys Instagram, Ive realized there might be a better way to begin my day. Necessary is an avid morning sketcher who occasionally posts his drawings along with the hashtag warmupsketch. (It turns out a lot of other people do this too.)Necessary will sometimes wake up and head straight t o a coffee shop to sketch cappuccinos and customers (see top image) other times he sits in his kitchen and draws his breakfast before eating it.I found this creative endeavor so inspiring that Ive resolved to make warm-up sketching a part of my morning routine. Ive realized theres great value in this creative exercise even for me - a writer and editor who cant outdraw my 7-year-old son. While I havent produced any artistic masterpieces yet (OK, my doodles have been downright horrid thus far), thats not the point. Sketching does seem to activate parts of my brain that deadline pressure, Twitter and email do not. Plus, it amps up my motivation to create.I reached out to Necessary to learn more about the upsides of sketching. The warm-up creative exercise has a lot of benefits for all creative professionals, Necessary says. Personally, I tend to overthink everything I do. When I just let things flow by doing warm-up sketches, I loosen up and carry that flow into my professional work.N ecessary adds that the creative exercise is also fun and freeing. As a creative professional, I always try to take joy in what I do. I get to design and draw for a living How awesome is that? But the bottom line is that it can still be a demanding job. Warm-up sketches allow me to let go and have a blast drawing. The sketches are not for money or a client. Theyre for me. I can experiment, get weird, learn new techniques and explore. To some observers, Necessarys sketches might look more like polished pieces of art. While most of his creations are done in 15 to 30 minutes, Necessary admits that he occasionally gets carried away while trying out new techniques. Still, he says, an hour or two spent on non-work-related sketches is a worthy investment because it fuels his creativity on client projects.Here are several of Necessarys sketches and some commentary on his morning creative exercise in his own wordsI did this sketch of a banana as an excuse to use watercolors, which, as a prima rily digital artist, I dont often get to do.Doing small still life sketches forces you to slow down and draw what you see. I view warm-up sketches as a way to play. On days when I dont do a warm-up, I definitely feel it. My work is stiff, ideas dont come as easily and I have to work harder to not be sloppy. And Im grumpier. The most basic warm-up sketches I do are gesture drawings. Ill grab a soft, dark pencil, a bunch of cheap paper, and then go to Quickposes.com to do timed drawings. Theres nothing more fluid than sketching the human body, which helps with creative stiffness. And because the drawing exercises on the site are timed, I cant worry about what Im drawing I just draw. Each sketch is done in about 45 seconds. In purely practical terms, gesture drawing gets my eyes, brain and body in the mode to create. Im always trying to learn, so I watch a lot of different drawing and design tutorials online. This one came from watching several tutorials about creating science fiction sketches. Though the work I normally do is a world away from this sketch, I was able to apply some of the techniques I learned and use them in my daily professional work.I did this sketch while I was working on a freelance project focused on architectural imagery. One morning I felt I needed to draw something organic, something with character, and theres no bigger character than my cat Huckleberry. As a creative freelancer I have to tailor my work to fit the needs of my clients, and as an editorial cartoonist for WCPO.com, I have to reflect the news. Digital sketches like this one allow me to dive into my imagination and just have fun. You get the chance to explore when you do a creative warm-up. Theres no pressure. Theres no art director or editor over your shoulder saying, No, it should look like thisI keep all the sketches I do. The late Disney animator Walt Stanchfield said you have to do 10,000 bad drawings before you get to a good one. By saving all of unterstellung sketches, I provide myself a constant reminder that every day Im working towards becoming a better designer and artist. Thinking of doing a daily creative exercise?

How to successfully network while on the road

How to successfully network while on the road How to successfully network while on the road Any entrepreneur can share countless travel stories of lonely hotel dining and tasteless room service dinners. Combine that with red-eye flights, missed connections and rental car lines, and business trips become more work than fun. That’s how I, too, felt about work trips until I realized how to incorporate business networking dinners as part of my travels.I’m a strong believer in the power of business dinners and enjoy organizing them in my own city. However, rather than limit them to my hometown, I realized I could extend them to every city I visited. With a little advance planning, I now organize dinners wherever my travels take me. These dinners are not only a wonderful way to reconnect with contacts, but also a fun opportunity for the local guests to meet each other. Here are my steps to creating the perfect networking dinner:Create the ultimate guest listMy contacts move all the time. It’s impossible to know who is living where. To determine who lives in the destination city, I run a LinkedIn search by clicking “Advanced” next to the search bar, and filtering for “1st Connections” and “Location.” This identifies all my contacts in that city. From there, I can easily grab their email addresses or send them an invite message directly through LinkedIn.Expand your networkWhen visiting a smaller town where my network does not run as deep, I ask my friends to each invite a like-minded friend or someone else in the industry. This helps expand the inner circle. I’ll also reach out to fellow members in entrepreneurial networks, such as Dreamers and Doers. Finally, if there is someone relevant in the industry who I’ve been meaning to meet, I will email them directly and extend a dinner invitation.Send the inviteAim to send the invitation three weeks before the dinner date. Doing this any earlier means people might be unsure of their schedule, and if left too late, they may have already made commitments. Not all invitees will be able to attend . If you are aiming for a four-person group, invite six people. If you are going for six people, invite nine or ten. If your goal is to maintain one group conversation, then plan for six guests: Six is the maximum number before one group will split into multiple side conversations.Select the perfect venueFinding the right venue is critical to a successful dinner. First, the location should be central and convenient. Second, it should have a fun atmosphere, but be quiet enough that people can hear across the table. The menu should vary and feature food options for those with dietary restrictions. Try to pick a restaurant with $15-to-$25 entrees, so price points will not deter anyone from attending. Finally, make a reservation. In the U.S., it’s easiest to use a combination of OpenTable and Yelp to find a restaurant that fits the bill. In other countries, Google Places, Facebook Places, a hotel concierge or a local friend might be better resources. Search for OpenTable reservations in the desired neighborhoods and price range. Look at the photos, descriptions and menus of the top results, and then double check the user reviews on Yelp. OpenTable reviews tend to skew positive, so it’s essential to do a second check on another source before booking.Send a calendar inviteAfter the date, time, and venue are confirmed, send a calendar invite. Many people live off their calendars. If the event is not on their schedule, it does not exist. Save everyone time by sending a properly formatted calendar invite with the restaurant address, your phone numbers, and any other pertinent information.Confirm two days beforeTwo days before the dinner, send a confirmation email reminding the guests of the upcoming dinner. Reiterate the address and your contact information, and remind them to inform you if they are no longer able to attend. At this point, 10-20 percent of people will typically tell you that their plans have changed. Knowing this allows you to update your restauran t reservations accordingly.Introduce everyone and enjoyAs the host of the dinner, start off the dinner with introductions. Feel free to mix the personal with the professional and dig below the surface of common banalities. You can do this by inviting each guest to share one personal and one professional experience happening in their lives. This will help kick off the discussion and bring everyone closer together.Nothing can compare to the deep and powerful connections made breaking bread together, and these connections can even happen even outside of your hometown. Now, whenever you have a business trip, consider hosting a networking dinner to bring together like-minded people.Marlene Jia is the COO of TOPBOTS, a research and strategy firm focused on applied AI and enterprise automation for Fortune 500 companies.BusinessCollective, launched in partnership with Citi, is a virtual mentorship program powered by North America’s most ambitious young thought leaders, entrepreneurs, exec utives and small business owners.

How to change your reality Try on a new pair of lenses

How to change your reality Try on a new pair of lenses How to change your reality Try on a new pair of lenses Over the course of my life, I’ve spent countless days waiting in single-file lines at United States embassies and border crossings. Each time, I’d react in Pavlovian fashion. As I approached the single pane of opaque glass occupied by an officer in a dark blue uniform, my palms would begin to sweat, my throat would constrict, adrenaline would start coursing through my veins in massive quantities, my eyes would avoid contact with theirs, and I would lose all ability to speak. I assumed they were out to get me, and that each “random” selection for further questioning was less about statistics and more about my funny name and country of origin.I was born and raised in Turkey, and left at 17 to attend college in the United States. In the next two decades, I collected an alphabet soup of visa types, ranging from F-1 to H1-B. With each visa application, and each return trip to the United States, my fate would rest with the all-powerful government officer who- with one click and sta mp- could make the unreviewable and irreversible decision to end the life I had built for myself in my adopted country.If they had a soundtrack to their lives, I assumed it would be the rap song “I’ve got the power” by Snap! (the one percent of you will get this 1990s German rap reference).It’s been hard to shake off this conditioning even after I became a U.S. citizen. Just as the dog begins to salivate the moment the bell rings, I still get sweaty palms the moment I spot an immigration line- marching without fail to the resolute beat of stimulus-response, stimulus-response.A few weeks ago, waiting with sweaty palms in yet another immigration line, I had a “thought” (or a “revelation” if you’re into that sort of thing). I asked myself, “How does the officer behind the single pane glass feel?”I doubt powerful is the word they would use to describe their job. I’m sure some of them go on the occasional power trip (as we all do), but the mechanical “click, sta mp, process” routine probably makes them feel, on many days, like a powerless cog in the enormous immigration machine.Everything we observe in the world is through our own eyes. Every one of us is walking around with our own version of the “truth.” We project our truths onto other people, which obfuscates their truths and conceals their humanity. We refuse to make eye contact with them, as I did with immigration officers, let alone see the world through their eyes.The lenses you put on shape and determine your reality.It’s helpful to take yours off once in a while and try on a different pair.Ozan Varol is a rocket scientist turned law professor and bestselling author.  Click here  to download a free copy of his e-book, The Contrarian Handbook: 8 Principles for Innovating Your Thinking.

Interview Questions About Upgrading Your Skills

Interview Questions About Upgrading Your Skills Interview Questions About Upgrading Your Skills You’re about to leave a job you don’t really like, and you’re getting ready to interview for a job at a company you think is head and shoulders above your current company. It’s fine to be excited about the new opportunity, but it’s crucial to tread carefully when the interviewer asks questions that require you to compare your current job to the job you’re hoping to get. Take a moment to think before you answer questions such as, “How is our company better than your present employer?” When asked this question, a job applicant might tell the interviewer that the company he or  she works for is just awful. Maybe he or she talks about how the company treats employees terribly, and he or  she hates working there. But what if his or  her current company happens to be a big customer of the company where he or  she is hoping to land a job? It’s unlikely that a candidate in this situation would be hired â€" and it doesn’t matter whether he or  she is telling the truth or not. With that kind of  attitude, there just isn’t any way he or  she can have had a positive relationship with the client if he or she hated working for them. An invitation to differentiate your current employer from your prospective company presents  a potential trap, albeit a very tempting one. The interviewer might be testing you to determine if you have a negative attitude or difficulty with authority.   In addition, he or she will also be assessing whether you have done your homework and have realistic expectations for the interviewer’s organization. So, while you don’t want to say bad things about your current employer, you shouldn’t glorify the next one either. How to Answer Questions About Your Present Employer One key to answering this question is to make sure you have an accurate view of the hiring managers’ company. You need to know that whatever you see as potentially beneficial actually fits the bill. Do some  research on the company  and don’t over-hype the new opportunity with hopes that the interviewer will fall for your gushing enthusiasm. He or she will know if you’re being unrealistic. Always Keep Your Answer Positive Another key is to be careful not to mention any negative information about your current company. Keeping it positive makes the most sense in this situation, even if your work experience isn’t, or wasn’t, the best. The safest approach is to frame your current employer in a positive way, and then note how the prospective employer is even more attractive to you. One way to accomplish this goal is to mention the positive features of the new company which builds upon, but also exceeds, the positive aspects of your current company. For example, you could say:  As a salesperson, I’m very concerned about how consumers perceive the quality of the products that I sell. My current employer has a solid reputation for quality, but your firm is universally recognized as the industry leader in quality and service. So, I would love to part of your team. Stick to the Facts and Avoid Any Hype Sticking to the facts is important, and this means avoiding references to subjective considerations like the quality of management and leadership. There’s no need to denigrate your current employer or put the potential employer up on a pedestal. Be realistic.  For example, you could say:  I am excited that your company has introduced three new products this past year which have gained traction and garnered increased market share. My current company is in a more stable phase. It produces well-known and respected brands, but has not opened up new markets.” Make it Professional Not Personal Your emphasis should be placed on aspects of the company that would enable you  to be productive on a professional level. For example, you might say: It’s my understanding that you invest considerable resources into training employees to utilize the latest technology. A statement like that is not emotional, doesn’t say anything bad about your current company, and while it puts the potential employer in a positive light, it’s not ridiculous and overbearing. What Not to Say When Answering This Question It’s best to avoid references to features of  corporate culture  that are personally beneficial. For example, I find the ability to work from home and your generous vacation policy to be very appealing,” is  not a good answer, because it focuses on your needs and not the company itself. You dont want the hiring manager to think that the only  reason you want the job  is  because of how it personally benefits you. Of course, the potential personal benefits that a new job might offer are important, it’s just not something to bring up during a job interview. Instead, you’re much better off on focusing on how the new position will benefit you professionally rather than any personal benefits you’ll experience if hired. Then, your best next step is to explain how hiring you will benefit the company.

Know the Fixed Costs of Aircraft Ownership

Know the Fixed Costs of Aircraft Ownership Know the Fixed Costs of Aircraft Ownership You may be familiar with the stories about actor Harrison Ford and his passion for airplanes, including aircraft ownership and, while a lot of actors- including John Travolta- own private planes, there are also a lot of everyday people passionate about flying. While you dont need to be a millionaire to own a plane, you do need to know in advance of purchase what the day-in, day-out costs will be. Fixed vs. Variable Costs The cost of  aircraft ownership can be divided into fixed costs and variable costs.  Determining which ownership costs are fixed and which are variable is essential to successful aircraft ownership. If you are a potential aircraft buyer or operator knowing these costs can help determine if you will be able to afford an airplane. Fixed costs, as opposed to variable costs, are defined as costs that remain the same over a period of time. Conversely, variable costs are subject to change and include things like fuel, oil, maintenance, landing fees, etc.  An aircraft’s fixed costs remain the same no matter how many hours you fly your plane. However, the cost per unit of a fixed cost will increase (or decrease) depending on the level of activity of the airplane. For example, if your fixed cost is insurance, you will pay the same rate no matter how much the airplane flies each year. If your insurance costs $1,200 dollars per year, and you fly the airplane for 100 hours each year, your hourly insurance cost is $12 per hour. However, if you fly the airplane more often (lets say 200 hours each year) then your insurance cost per hour drops to $6 per hour.  This is why youll often hear aircraft owners say that they need their airplane to fly more in order to keep costs down.   Examples of Fixed Costs Some examples of fixed costs include the following: Aircraft financing (whether on a lease or loan payment basis)InsuranceThe purchasing of books, charts, and materialsHangar rentalTaxes and FAA registration feesAircraft accessoriesCrewmember salaries, if they are paid a fixed annual salary. If a crew member is paid by the flight hour, on the other hand, it is considered a variable cost because the cost depends on the activity level of the airplane. The cost per unit, or cost per flight hour, can be decreased with an increase in aircraft use. Overall, pilots like to say that they get more “bang for your buck” when they fly more hours. For example, if you rent hangar space for $6,000 per year and fly your airplane 100 hours per year, your cost per hour for the hangar rental is $60. If you rent the same hangar but only fly 500 hours per year, your cost per flight hour decreases to $12 per hour. Budgeting for Your Plane Its important to recognize (and plan ahead) for both fixed and variable costs when you become an aircraft owner or operator. All too often, aircraft owners are surprised by the additional costs they encounter after purchasing an airplane. Knowing both the fixed (and variable) costs of air travel, aircraft usage, and aircraft maintenance will determine if you can afford this hobby and if so, help to keep your budget in check.

Salary Negotiation Tips Correcting a Discrepancy on an Offer

Salary Negotiation Tips Correcting a Discrepancy on an Offer Salary Negotiation Tips Correcting a Discrepancy on an Offer This week’s question - The compensation package the recruiter and I agreed to verbally does not match the actual written contract I received as an offer. How do I address this?Q: In my last face-to-face meeting with the recruiter we agreed to a compensation package that met all my needs. However, I just received the actual written contract and some of the benefits we discussed (commission structure, vacation days) are missing - how do I address this?A: Something to avoid is the idea of “we’ll clear it up later.” The time you have most leverage is when salary negotiations begin; when the employer is saying you’re the best candidate. Don’t put it off and hope it’ll be cleared up later. You want to go back over it so it’s cleared up now.Do a lockdown maneuver: you appreciate the offer and are inclined to accept, but some things appear to be a little different than originally said, so there may be items that need to be negotiated. Say, “I wouldn’t jeopardize the off er as it stands by getting this cleared up, would I?” When they say no, then move forward: “I’d like to bring some of these things back to what we talked about in our conversations.”From the point of having the offer locked down, you can then go back for those pieces. If you can’t get vacations, get other time off. If you can’t get the money you want, negotiate bonuses. If you’re not offered the advancement or title you want, negotiate some other benefits that make up for that, and then continue negotiations until you make it to the point you want.

Engineers Break Down Borders, Part 2

Engineers Break Down Borders, Part 2 Engineers Break Down Borders, Part 2 Engineers Break Down Borders, Part 2 Part 1 introduced EWB through the eyes of young engineers. In Part 2, they discuss the real-life experiences they gained in the program. During her time with EWB, Chen has discovered the importance of communication when it comes to fundraising, recruiting new members, directing chapter meetings, and relaying information back with NGOs and people in the field. Communication is important because sometimes the communities we work with dont see the design process in the same way we do as students who are learning about it, Chen says. In-country workers on one particular project, for example, werent exact in their drilling calculations and didnt see the need for other student-requested information. Virginia Tech students and Uganda project leaders, Taylor Newman (left) and Trenton Sorensen (right), hold two children from the Nazareth Childrens Home in Uganda. We needed aquifer types and hydrological reports and they just wanted to drill test holes and go from there, Chen says. We had to be able to explain to them why we needed the information and why we designed it in a certain way, because ultimately want it to be the best project it can be. Those lessons ring true for Harvard University EWB chapter member Nicole Trenchard, a junior and a mechanical engineering major. Shes written technical reports, made CAD models, and helped with fundraising during her two-year stint at her schools EWB chapter. We joke about all the blue font on reports, she says, referring to areas flagged by the professional engineers or faculty mentor. Some of us have never had a manager before. Max Fite is project coordinator for EWB at the University of Minnesota. At 100 membersabout 80 of them active at any one time- its probably one of the biggest chapters in the country, he says. Though the organization, like the other student chapters, is student led, professional engineers must review designs to make sure theyre technically sound. Like the other chapters, his organization raises 95 percent of the $15,000 to $35,000 needed annually to fund its projects. Anything extra is a bonus, he says. We had to be able to explain to them why we needed the information and why we designed it in a certain way, because we ultimately want it to be the best project it can be. Helen Chen, Virginia Tech This year the chapter has raised $55,000 for its two projects: a water system installation in Paraxaj, Guatemala, and water, irrigation, and agricultural projects in Filakit, Ethiopia. The money comes from grants from University of Minnesota, EWB USA,and individual and corporate donations. Eva Hansen, a junior at the University of Rochester in Rochester, N.Y., summarizes the sentiments of all the students interviewed for this article. She traveled to the Dominican Republic in January 2016 to assess her EWB chapters ongoing water-treatment-and-distribution system project at a local school Ive really seen the impact individuals can have on issues of greater significance, she says, regarding her trip in 2016 to the Dominican Republic to assess her EWB chapters ongoing water treatment and distribution project at a local school For a group of undergraduates with professional advisor to successful implement a system in a different country, that shows were all capable of a lot more than we believe we are.

Disarming a Bullet-Riddled Resume

Disarming a Bullet-Riddled Resume Disarming a Bullet-Riddled Resume By highlighting every line in his resume with a bullet point, Kevin Kennedy made sure none of his accomplishments stood out. Enter certified professional resume writer with some fresh ammo.Kevin Kennedy’s old resume was difficult to read. He had some great material buried deep beneath a two-page pile of verbiage that included more than 40 bullets. At first glance, it wasn’t even clear what Kennedy did for a living â€" something to do with sports and marketing. If I was going to help Kennedy, my top priority for his new resume was to select his top accomplishments and present them in an easy-to-read format.Priority #1: Quickly announce who you areKennedy’s new resume takes control of the reader’s first impression â€" and quickly provides direction and context â€" by adding three missing elements: Headline: Vice President of Marketing (telegraphs his objective) Positioning statement: Sports and Events Marketing Branding Publicity Promotion Career summary: This section supports his current objective by quickly sketching his successful career arc and highlighting some career awards and accomplishments. Now that we’ve provided some context, all the details under “Professional Experience” make sense. Death by bulletsWhen writing a resume, a bullet point should be reserved only to emphasize a significant accomplishment or award, or highlight a list of keywords.Problem: Kennedy’s old resume made ample use of bullet points â€" a whopping 42 of them in just two pages. That’s what we call “death by bullets.” With that many bullet points scattered across the page, absolutely nothing in the resume stands out. Worse, the bullets weren’t even aligned correctly â€" just tightly squeezed into a massive, uninviting block of text.Solution: The new resume summarizes each of his jobs with a short paragraph (just one or two lines) and then uses bullets sparingly to showcase his accomplishments and highlights.Use subheads to keep the reader on trackKennedy’s second job, “Impact Sports Entertainment,” lasted for six years, which is a relatively long stretch within a resume. To keep the reader on track, we organized his six years of accomplishments into three categories: “Sponsor ship Marketing,” “Cause Marketing” and “Event Marketing.” Now the reader can quickly scan those six years, see everything in context and take note of his many accomplishments. The old format buried six years of his best information under one ugly pile of verbiage.Quickly summarize older experienceResume clients often focus on length. They’ll ask, “What is the correct number of pages?” The key question isn’t page count; it’s word count. Kennedy’s original resume packed more than 1,000 words into two pages by using tiny text (10-point Arial) and squeezed out all the white space. Because the 1,000 words are hard to read, it’s highly unlikely anybody would.In order to fit all the important material comfortably within two pages, we made some editing decisions. First, we summarized the older jobs and grouped them. Next, we deleted his job at Coca-Cola (1994) because it was quite old and lasted only six months. Unlike a formal job application, you have room to elimi nate jobs that lasted less than one year and fell earlier in your career. (Click here to read more about when you can leave short tenures off your resume. )His new resume cuts the word count to about 800, increases the font size, and alternates paragraph and bullet-point styles. The final result is an easy-to-read, two-page resume that showcases his top accomplishments and should open new doors for interviews.
