Former FBI Agent on Career Success - The Muse

Former FBI Agent on Career Success - The MuseFormer FBI Agent on Career SuccessHeres something to think about If you arent passionate about yur work, if you simply tolerate that which pays the bills but have a super fulfilling life and world outside of it, is that enough? Is it an acceptable way to live? Or does it suggest settling? Recently, I broached this hot topic with LaRae Quy, a retired FBI Special Agent and author. Although I was ostensibly interviewing Quy for an article about determination and how that plays out in job searching, transitioning careers, or attempting to figure out what kind of job to go after, I was- and am- curious about the idea of whether or bedrngnis you need to love your career. And if you dont (and you arent actively trying to find something you care deeply about in the career spectrum), does it mean you have untapped potential?These are big questions, but they didnt phase Quy, who spoke with the experience of someone who has had her share of highs and lows and took risks and explored multiple career paths before finding her sweet spot. Her call We all deserve to find work that excites us.Are you sure? I prodded. Maybe not everyone needs that excitement in the workplace. Isnt it fair to assume that some people are really totally OK working a job that pays the bills if they can look forward to weekends and holidays and vacations? Lets face it Even those of us who love our jobs often anxiously await our days off with baited breath.Those people that punch a clock, who exist only for out-of-office hours, Quy said, are settling for mediocrity. They have not tapped into their potential or asked themselves the hard questions. She went on, The only difference between a rut and a coffin are the dimensions.Clearly this is something the department store-buyer turned FBI agent feels strongly about. As the former, Quy was miserable. Despite the fact her position as a buyer sounded glamorous (and perhaps was), it didnt meet her needs. Though s he had no idea what was next, Quy worried that if she didnt make a move, shed face a lifetime of regret. Quy was, to put it simply, determined. Finding what ones meant to do requires digging deep, she acknowledges. It doesnt just happen. Determination isnt a trait youre born with. It needs to be fed and fostered, sought out. Finding your career path involves experimenting, trying different opportunities, and, most importantly, not being afraid to fail. Through informational meetings, Quy eventually began to feel something. She calls it a fire in her belly, and stoking this fire is something Quy feels is necessary. Its OK to be in a job, be unhappy, and not have a fire to stoke- so if thats you right now, not to worry. In time, though, if you dont make an effort to move on and find whatever it is that gets you pumped to get out of bed each morning, you might come to have major regret.It comes as no surprise that the long-time FBI agent uses words like grit, mental toughness, and self -discipline when she talks about career advancement. Opportunity, she says, isnt going to come knocking- though that much youve probably figured out.Once I felt like I understood what determination meant to Quy, I asked her to talk to me about goals. This word, goal, gets tossed around with increasing regularity, and its one that Quy embraces- at least in connection with having a career einbildung. She explained that, If you have a vision, then you must create goals to get to that vision, but constantly check the vision.While asking yourself what you want out of life is never easy- conjuring a vision first, and then setting goals related to it is actually doable. First, break it down into specific questions about where you see yourself in five years Are you in the same city or town or in another state or abroad? Do you have a wife or husband? Children? A house in the burbs? A cottage in the mountains? What kind of role would you like to be in? Managing a large team of people? Owning a business? Starting a company with a friend? Working flexible freelance hours? In other words, the vision isnt I want to earn $30 1000000 by the time Im 45 rather, it would be, I want to be a powerful person, and in order to obtain that position of power, perhaps you strive for financial success and set goals thatll help get you there.By the end of our conversation, Id like to say that Im 100% on board with Quy in that you must strive to find work youre passionate about, but Im not quite there. I feel tremendously fortunate to be doing work that I feel strongly about, but I suppose Im lucky that I didnt have to dig super deep to figure out what I wanted to do.I believe in taking risks, sure, but what if you cant break away from your less-than-fulfilling mundane job? Can you choose to enhance it, maybe even be the poster child for how to be the best in that field? I dont know the answer to that, but I do know and believe that Quy would agree youre not going to get anywhere twiddlin g your thumbs. And, youre certainly not going to find a fire in your belly to stoke if youre miserable and dont try to do anything about it.As Quy says, Face your problems head on. It isnt your problems that define you- its how you react and recover from them. Your problems are not going away unless you do something about them. Photo of rock climber courtesy of Shutterstock.

8 Red Flags Employers See on Your Resume

8 Red Flags Employers See on Your Resume8 Red Flags Employers See on Your ResumeHiring managers spend only seconds skimming your resume before making a quick decision about whether to reject you or consider you further, so its essential that your resume doesnt contain the red flags that will turn them off during that short initial scan. Here are eight red flags that will often put you straight into the no pile without further consideration.1. A history of job-hopping. If you have a history of moving quickly from one job to the next without staying very long, employers will wonder whether you get bored easily or cant keep a job. If you do have good reasons for the job changes (such as having a spouse in the military), make sure to fill in employers upfront so they dont draw wrong conclusions.2. Grammatical or spelling mistakes. Mistakes can get your resume immediately tossed, because they convey to an employer that you dont pay attention to detail. Employers assume that youve polished your resume mora than you will fruchtwein documents, so if you have mistakes in it, they assume your work will have even more errors.3. Bad writing. Even for jobs that dont require flawless writing, employers still want to see evidence that you can communicate well. If you dont write clearly and concisely, theyll worry about how youll communicate once on the job- and many will take your resume-writing quality as a shortcut to drawing conclusions about your intelligence.4. Overly aggrandized self-descriptions. Hiring managers generally frown on language like visionary thinker, creative innovator or respected leader because these are the sorts of things that others can say about you, but you cant say credibly about yourself. Putting them on your resume signals that youre either naive, arrogant or both. Stick to objective experience and accomplishments only.5. Lack of evidence of achievement. If your resume lists nothing but your job duties at each job- rather than what you achieved t here- youll signal that you never did more than the basic requirements. Hiring managers are looking for candidates with a track record of achievement, not meeting minimum requirements, but going above and beyond and accomplishing things that an average candidate wouldnt.6. No overarching theme to your career choices. If youve moved from one unrelated job to the next, without a clear pattern, employers will be skeptical about your commitment to the roles youre applying for now. Most employers want to be able to scan your resume and get a quick understanding of how youve progressed within one or two fields, rather than trying to work out how youve moved from tech writer to salesperson to nurses assistant to video editor.7. Lack of professionalism. If your resume includes information about your spouse and children, or other information unrelated to your qualifications as a candidate, most employers will conclude that youre naive at best and unprofessional at worst.8. Large gaps between jobs. When employers see gaps of unemployment, they wonder what happened during that time. Did you leave the previous job with nothing lined up, and if so, why? Were you working somewhere that youve deliberately left off your resume, and if so, what are you hiding? Gaps raise questions that you dont want on a hiring managers mind.Alison Green writes the popular Ask a Manager blog, where she dispenses advice on career, job search, and management issues. Shes also the co-author of Managing to Change the World The Nonprofit Managers Guide to Getting Results, and former chief of staff of a successful nonprofit organization, where she oversaw day-to-day staff management, hiring, firing, and employee development.

What It Takes for a Veteran To Land a Job

What It Takes for a Veteran To Land a Job What It Takes for a Veteran To Land a Job This week, our nation honors all who have served in our military with Veterans Day commemorations. Beyond the verbal tributes, however, one important way to honor them is to listen to them to gain an understanding of their unique perspectives and needs when reentering civilian life and looking for work. “It has been a tough, tough road,” says Marc Gonzalez, who was recently hired as the director of operations at GetOutfitted, a startup company in Colorado. Gonzalez spent 17 years on active duty in the U.S. Navy, fighting in both Desert Shield and Desert Storm. Ultimately, he came to see a job search as no different than a deployment. Gonzalez explains: “There will be a lot of times or days when you are wondering, ‘Just what am I doing?’ You don’t see the traction, but you just get up every morning and you do the job.” He continues: “I’m very appreciative to the American people for saying, ‘We want to support our veterans’ … but I want to look at companies who label themselves as ‘veteran friendly’ and ask: ‘What does that really mean?’” Like others who were interviewed for this article, Gonzalez argues that human resources and recruiting departments are rarely poised to recognize the skills that any veteran brings to the table, whether for entry-level or leadership positions. If you are a veteran, you face the challenge of learning how “to present your hard and soft skills, as well as your experiences in a manner that will be understood by the civilian market,” says Keith Wiggins, who served in the military for 23 years and now counsels job-seeking vets. “Someone who has done three to six years of service usually doesn’t have a strong employment background or an understanding of how to build a résumé and do a proper job search,” he says. “Someone who has gotten out with about 10 years of service has accumulated a certain amount of experience and then has to learn how to organize that in a manner that they can present themselves in a marketable means.” Wiggins offers this advice: Use your time in the military to plan for what you will be doing afterward. Do things now that will be necessary to make you marketable later. Make certain to obtain all the appropriate certifications that will be important in the civilian market. Whether you are a helicopter mechanic, work in HR or whatever else â€" figure out your parallel civilian role and what credentials are required for it. Determine your soft skills. If you are in a combat role, your immediate “hardline skills” may not readily transfer. Gonzalez advises: Access your college career center. As a graduate, you should look to your college for advice about résumé creation, how to research opportunities and what you want to do next. Network online in order to network in person. Gonzalez tells the story of how he found his current job by doing a basic LinkedIn search for “operations” and his location. He thereby identified the head of a company, who invited Gonzalez to connect and speak about his vision for the company. “And he rest is history,” he says. Get in front of people face-to-face, and explain how you fit in. Don’t ask them to figure it out. “The more you see people face-to-face, the better the traction you will get,” Gonzalez says. Be selective about your background and what you focus on. You don’t have to show everything you did on your résumé. Instead, focus on those areas of your work and achievements that can be related to the civilian world. Stay away from military jargon. The military has a language all its own, and it can be incomprehensible and intimidating to those who aren’t familiar with it. Avoid uncommon acronyms, and put things in terms that your audience will understand. Ask for help. There is often need to have someone counsel to help understand what you are doing in the military that is similar to what you want to do afterward and how to translate that vocabulary effectively. Both Gonzalez and Wiggins stress the need for employers to make better efforts to understand the underlying skillset and attitude that nearly every vet possesses: discipline, focus, the ability to adjust to new circumstances quickly, individual responsibility, leadership and management. And of course, there is that enthusiasm and “never accept defeat” attitude that is always a tremendous asset to bring to a work environment. To all our vets: Thank you for your service! Happy hunting! Arnie Fertig, MPA, is passionate about helping his Jobhuntercoach clients advance their careers by transforming frantic “I’ll apply to anything” searches into focused hunts for “great fit” opportunities. He brings to each client the extensive knowledge he gained when working in HR staffing and managing his boutique recruiting firm.

Consider the Business Analyst Path

Consider the Business Analyst Path Consider the Business Analyst Path Bruce Wayne didn’t set out to become Batman: That’s just the route his life took. Similarly, you may not have originally banked on joining the ranks of business analysts, superheroes who scrutinize big data, organizational needs and operations in order to make the enterprise more efficient and profitable. If you now find yourself heading down the business analyst career path, here's what you need to know. Prerequisite superpowers Unlike Storm or Silver Surfer, Batman wasn’t born with superpowers. Rather, he relies on his keen intellect, martial arts training and a really cool tool belt. While you don’t need to travel abroad and master jujitsu, according to the International Institute of Business Analysts (IIBA), you will need the following: A bachelor’s degree relevant to your area of specialization Experience in financial analysis, data flow analysis and project management Analytical thinking and problem solving skills Soft skills, such as leadership abilities and excellent written and verbal communication Technological proficiency Demonstrated prowess in your area of specialization SEARCH FOR CONSULTING JOBS Transferable skills and experience The different types of business analysts are as numerous as Batman’s foes. The position you’re best suited for will depend on the skills and experience you've gained during your career. Accountants might be interested in budget analyst positions where they can employ data mining skills to identify business trends and adjust budgets accordingly. Likewise, information technology auditors may find a smooth transition in applying their expertise and knowledge of ERP systems to the role of business systems analyst. The business analyst call beckons With the demand for business analysts comes increased compensation. According to the 2018 Robert Half Salary Guide, the midpoint salary for a business analyst with one to three years of experience is $67,000. Senior business analysts can expect midpoint salaries of $86,000 this year, and for business analyst managers, it's $110,000 at the midpoint. At the midpoint, candidates have average experience with the necessary skills to meet the job requirements, and the role may be in an industry where competition for talent is moderate. There also are opportunities for those who want to merge their professional transition with a  consulting career. Companies seek professionals with specialized subject matter expertise who can quickly step in to support key business initiatives. In the end, try channeling a bit more Bruce Wayne when your career encounters unexpected detours. Put your experience and skills to work and supercharge your future as a business analyst.

How to Find a Job After College

How to Find a Job After College How to Find a Job After College Congratulations, you did it! You just graduated (or are soon to be graduating) from college. This will be the greatest accomplishment of your life ...so far, anyway! Unfortunately, it is time to get back to work, which means finding a job. Landing a job after college is not an easy task. Ideally, you already have internships and years of relevant work experience under your belt. But let’s be honest, doing well in college is tough enough as it is. It’s even harder to find a job in your desired industry while balancing life as a full-time student. Believe it or not, less than one-third of university graduates have a job secured upon graduation. We want to help! So, we have laid out a “How To Find a Job After College” guide below. These points will show you how to optimize your efforts to find a job after graduating from college, regardless of your work experience. Optimize your relevant experience Whether you partied every day or struggled to keep your grades up, the fact is, you graduated! That expensive piece of paper hanging on your wall serves as the symbol to bettering your career path and finding a job after college. You may not have made all the ideal career choices during your schooling. However, there are a few ways to enhance your job-hunting skills now. Increase your chanceof receiving callbacks. As you fill out job applications, remember: You must be able to translate all relevantexperience. This includes experience from your classwork. It also includes any volunteer work you have done. Hiring managers only look at what is relevant to the job you are applying for. In other words, unless you are applying to become a caregiver, don’t include the years you babysat a younger sibling. (Want to learn how to find your niche without a single day of work experience? Read more tips on How to Apply for Entry Level Jobs.) Solidify your resume At this point, you’re probably saying, “I know I need a strong resume in order to find a job after college!” Unfortunately, “strong” is a relative term. If the quality of your resume doesn't match that of other candidates, you will likely get left behind in your job search. Research the lingo and business terms of your desired industry. Companies use scanning programs to filter out irrelevant resumes. If your wording is not strategically chosen, the hiring committee will not even look at your resume. Make sure the details in your resume fit what they seek in a candidate. If you have been on a campaign for finding a job after college and have not received any response, perhaps it is time to fix what is broken! Still feeling overwhelmed? Our services may increase your chances of job success. Take a look at Find My Profession's resume writingservices. (To learnHow To Write a Professional Resume on your own, click the link.) Be open to all opportunities As a new college graduate, you might feel on top of the world. I don't want to be the one to break it to you, but someone needs to say it: the world owes you nothing! You have to go out and find a job after college; it will not be handed to you on a silver platter. All cliches aside, some new grads expect to get offered asix-figure salary job. You must be realistic in your job search. Don’t assume you are above an assistant position Your best fit might be a job that requires no experience. This is a long-term process. You will progress in your experience (and salary), but it takes time. But be encouraged, because you will not regret starting at the bottom of the right job opportunity. Use all available avenues There are many resources at your disposal to find a job after college, souse them all to increase your chances of being noticed by hiring managers. You are at a severe disadvantage if you only use one avenue to apply for jobs. These options include: Job boards Company websites Staffing agencies The career center at your university We won't spend time debating on which option is best ... becauseyou should be using all of them! The more you explore your options, the better your chances get of landing that dream job after college. (To learn exactly where to apply for jobs, take a look at Where to Apply for Jobs Online.) Avoid common mistakes At this point, you should have a general idea of the etiquette and unwritten rules of the job search process after college, but I would like to emphasize a few key mistakes that are easy to correct. 1. Assuming success Like I stated above, it is best to be open to all opportunities after graduation. Do not show up for an interview assuming you have the job “in the bag.” Confidence is great, but arrogance is easy to pick up on. In fact, ahiring manager is trained to sniff out these types of candidates. Treat all employees at the company you are interviewing with respect. 2. Refusing to consider relocating It is also important to be open to relocation. You do not want to miss out on a great job after collegebecause it is a short plane flight from family and friends. Eventually, you can be pickier about location, but currently limiting your job options because of location can prove detrimental to your long-term goals. Change can be scary, but so can unemployment! 3. Failing to follow up Follow-up contact is also very important. It shows you have determination towards the potential opportunity. It can be as simple as sending a “thank you” email to the hiring manager/interviewer. Thanking them for their time can speak volumes about the character of a candidate. Final thoughts on finding a job after college Most important of all, do your homework. Yes, you might be done with school;this does not mean you are done learning. Do not let your ego get in the way of your job search. Don’t assume your resume or cover letter is rock solid. There is nothing wrong with admitting you do not know everything about an industry or desired skill. Take advantage of the numerous resources at your disposal. If you are not getting callbacks, there are reasons for this. After all, you are entry-level as you look for a job after college, but we all have to start somewhere, right?

We have dedicated writers who specialize in all levels of resumes - including entry-level for recent graduates, socontact us today.

Google Doubles Down on New York IT Jobs

Google Doubles Down on New York IT Jobs Google Doubles Down on New York IT Jobs Google, this morning, made a significant gamble on New York City and its ability to supply the high-quality technology employees, when it agreed to pay between $ 1.8 billion and $1.9 billion (what’s $100 million?) for one of the largest office buildings in Manhattan. According to the New York Times’s Charles V. Bagli: The contract not only signals a rebounding real estate market… but also reflects a vote of confidence by an expanding technology firm in New York City. The building, once the headquarters of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey is already outfitted to support major network traffic and data storage requirements. About 25 percent of the space is dedicated to a data center and telecommunications equipment and other tenants include Sprint, Verizon, Lifetime Networks, WebMD and several IT service providers, according to the Wall Street Journal and Data Center Knowledge. Google already leases 500,000 square feet of the 3 million square feet at 111 Eight Avenue that takes up a full block in Chelsea bounded by Eighth and Ninth avenues and 15th and 16th streets, but their landlord status positions Google to grow as needed and expect them to hire and expand, one source told the New York Post. “Google will gobble up the space like Pac-Man,” said a source of the firm’s current 500,000 square feet occupancy and its future plans to take over space in the building as it becomes available. “Google will grow and it’s a lot of jobs for the city,” the source said. UPDATE (11:54 a.m.): Further evidence that Google may move quickly to hire and expand: The company is running out of space in its current New York offices, writes Barry Schwartz of Search Engine Land. Google moved into this building as part of their expansion plans in the big Apple back in early 2006. I remember when the office space they had was virtually empty. Last time I visited the offices, it was jammed packed and they needed more space. Google currently leases about 500,000 square feet of this building. Update (2:22 p.m.): Details from Channelnomics on the innards at 111 Eight Avenue, which is being characterized by many as a “Carrier hotel,” a term used to describe a  building with extensive space dedicated to telecommunications hosting equipment and data networking service centers. Channelnomic’s Larry Walsh: The company could simply want easier access to space as its sales and engineering operations in Manhattan expand… There’s also the possibility that Google wants greater access to telecom resources as it continues to expand its voice and cloud application offerings.

What to do when you think you dont matter

What to do when you think you don't matter What to do when you think you don't matter What should a meaningful life be about? It’s an important question. Unfortunately, the answer is not likely to be found on social media.Artwork by John P. WeissMost of the idealized and carefully curated content on Facebook and Instagram focuses on vanity, fame and wealth. We pursue these things energetically, convinced they will bring us a meaningful life. Yet the reality is that most people will not become supermodels, nor particularly rich or famous. In fact, most of us will lead seemingly ordinary, unremarkable lives.Follow Ladders on Flipboard!Follow Ladders’ magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and more!Does this mean our lives won’t be meaningful?Absolutely not.Something beyond the  selfInstead of relying on social media for shallow answers, let us turn to some serious literature. Consider the novel  Middlemarch, by George Eliot (a pen name for Mary Ann Evans). In the novel, a character must relinquish her big dreams a nd find meaning in the small details of a faithful life, raising a family.As Eliot writes in the novel:“But the effect of her being on those around her was incalculably diffusive: for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.”In a New York Times article, writer Emily Smith reflected on the above quote this way:“It’s one of the most beautiful passages in literature, and it encapsulates what a meaningful life is about: connecting and contributing to something beyond the self, in whatever humble form that may take.”The meaning of life is in small  thingsThe author Tom Morris, in his article “The Meaning of Life Is In Small Things,” notes:“Most young adults won’t achieve the idealistic goals they’ve set for themselves. They won’t become the next Mark Zuckerberg. They won’t h ave obituaries that run in newspapers like this one. But that doesn’t mean their lives will lack significance and worth. We all have a circle of people whose lives we can touch and improve and we can find our meaning in  that.” Morris goes on to cite a growing body of psychology research showing that meaning in our lives doesn’t come from success and glamour but in the mundane. For example, some research showed that teenagers who do household chores feel a stronger sense of purpose. Also, as Morris wrote in his article:“People who see their occupations as an opportunity to serve their immediate community find more meaning in their work, whether it’s an accountant helping his client or a factory worker supporting her family with a paycheck.”All the lonely  peopleOne of my favorite songs by the Beatles is  â€œEleanor Rigby.”  The lyrics sadly tell us of Eleanor Rigby, a seemingly forgotten soul who cleans the church after a wedding. And Father McKenzie, who seems to be writing sermons that no one will hear. As the lyrics go on to say:“Eleanor Rigby, died in the church And was buried along with her name Nobody came Father McKenzie, wiping the dirt From his hands as he walks from the grave No one was saved”Eleanor Rigby and Father McKenzie have seemingly unremarkable lives, and are viewed in the song as “lonely people.” Perhaps they were lonely. Perhaps they wondered if their lives had any meaning. Maybe they worried that nothing really mattered.The truth is that our lives matter a great deal.Our efforts in life tendril out and affect others in ways often unseen to us. We are changed too, by our acts. The positive, selfless ones elevate us. The negative acts drag us down. All we really have to do is live, give and forgive. That simple recipe can carry us to the finish line if we just get out of our own way.Connecting and contributing to something beyond ourselves, in whatever humble endeavors we choose, will give our lives great meaning. Money, good looks and fame are not required to create lives of significance and worth.Thousands of tiny  actsA woman named Sarah Bush married a man named Daniel Johnston in 1806. They had three children but sadly, Daniel died sev eral years later in the cholera epidemic. Despite the loss of her husband, Sarah managed to care for her three children and move forward.In 1819 Sarah married a widower named Thomas Lincoln, who had two children of his own. The two married, and Sarah became a wonderful stepmother to Thomas’s children (a boy and girl). Sarah accepted Thomas’s children as her own.Sarah encouraged Thomas’s son with his love of reading and helped shape him into a successful man. A man who would become the 16th President of the United States.Unlike the headstone for Sarah Lincoln’s resting place, thousands of Americans regularly visit the memorial for President Abraham Lincoln. Yet without the love and guidance of Sarah Lincoln, Abraham Lincoln may never have become such a monumental figure in history. The love of books she instilled in Abraham, the meals she cooked for him, the thousands of tiny acts of love and support all helped shape who Abraham became.Sarah Lincoln connected with and contrib uted to something beyond herself. Namely, her children and stepchildren. Her legacy is found in the family she helped shape. Every mundane act, tiny thing, and daily chore contributed to her children’s success. All of which contributed to a profoundly meaningful life.Connect and contributeIf you think that you don’t matter, take a closer look at your definition of a meaningful life. Maybe you’re stacking yourself up against some Hollywood star, supermodel, technology billionaire or even a wealthy neighbor. If so, you’re using the wrong measurements.A meaningful life (which can also be an entirely satisfying life) does not require wealth, fame or physical beauty. Don’t pay attention to TV, the gossip magazines or social media glitterati.All you have to do is connect and contribute to something beyond yourself. It could be the parenting of your children or the growth and development of your writing or artwork. Perhaps you minister to the homeless, improve the environment or shape young minds in the classroom.The Eleanor Rigbys and Father McKenzies of the world may feel lonely at times, but their lives are meaningful, just as your life is meaningful. The trick is to not get too caught up in yourself.The size of our  universeAs the author  Joshua Becker  has written:“The size of our universe shrinks considerably when we place ourselves at the center. And the people who are most focused on themselves are the least satisfied in life.”Part of the key to living a meaningful life is to help others.It’s also important to figure out where your passion lies and then develop it. Embracing work or a creative calling that quickens your heart can become infectious. Others will become inspired by your passion. The author James Clear, in reviewing Mark Manson’s best selling book,  â€œThe Subtle Art of Not Giving a F***,”  wrote:“Finding something important and meaningful in your life is the most productive use of your time and energy. This is true because every life has problems associated with it and finding meaning in your life will help you sustain the effort you need to overcome the particular problems you face. Thus, we can say that the key to living a good life is not giving a f*** about more things, but rather, giving a f*** about the things that align with your personal values.”In the end, every life is precious. Each one of us has the ability to contribute and enjoy a meaningful life. You can positively affect the lives of other people in ways you have not imagined.So, stop comparing yourself to beautiful, rich or famous people. Start tapping the unique talents and qualities that you have. Embrace your passions and gifts, and use them to help the lives of others and make the world a better place.However big, small, spectacular or mundane, your contributions matter.And so do you.(Originally published at  JohnPWeiss.com).Before you  goI’m  John P.

7 Tips When the Hiring Manager is a Skype Interview No Show

7 Tips When the Hiring Manager is a Skype Interview No Show 7 Tips When the Hiring Manager is a Skype Interview No Show As a job seeker, you spend a great amount of time setting up a Skype interview or phone screening. The best Skype interview involves more than just sitting in front of a webcam talking to a hiring manager. You work to be on time, so what do you do when the interview no show turns out to be the company? We offer these 7 tips for you on how to handle it. 1. Keep calm and cool We have all been stuck in traffic, had internet connectivity issues, or people just get sick. Instead of firing off a critical email to the hiring manager about how offended you were by the interview no show, take a step back and remember...you really do not know, until you know better. So, the hiring manager was an interview no show. Here is what you can do next: 2. When the hiring manager is late If you had a time set up for an 11:00 am Skype interview, and by 11:15 am the hiring manager has not called, send an email asking if all is ok and if you have the right time. Remember, you want to give your best Skype interview, so do not get pushy. You simply do not know if the hiring manager got the time zones mixed up, or if they simply forgot. People make mistakes. We are all human. Remain patient. But certainly, send a friendly email to ask if you should consider setting up a new Skype interview time. 3. When the hiring manager is REALLY late Let’s just say it is now 11:30 am and this hiring manager is obviously missing out on the best Skype interview ever conducted. When you hit the 30-minute mark, and no one replied to your email, you can safely assume they have either forgotten or the hiring manager is an interview no show. However, still stay by your Skype to give your interview. Why? Because you do not know for sure. It has happened where hiring managers have either noticed they should be on a call, or they have no Internet. The simple fact is...you do not know. But you did spend time setting up a Skype interview, so see it through for the next 30 minutes. 4. It’s now 11:45 am and the hiring manager has not called Patience is a virtue. Remain calm and ready to give your best Skype interview, ever. Why? If they call in finally, they are trying to do one of two things: Trying to be early for the Skype interview at 12:00 pm. Their time zones were off. They finally got connected and wanted to salvage time by setting up a new Skype interview. Both of these things have happened, and it is best to show you do not crack under the pressure of having to wait 45 minutes when they finally speak to you. Companies place considerable value in employees who remain calm and handle diversity with ease. Your hiring manager was an interview no show until now. So, let’s say they STILL do not call. What do you do next? 5. It’s 12:00 pm and no one has calleduntil 12:05 pm You have every reason in the world to be disappointed, after setting up a Skype interview, preparing to give what you know would be the most amazing, best Skype interview ever known. But that is still no reason to take it out on the hiring manager if/when you connect with them again. Why? Hiring managers obviously do not run the company. You have already formed your first impression of this company based on the interview no show, which should be a sign the job maybe would not work out for you. So, in one perspective, the hiring manager’s mistake was your gain. You now know if you really want to work for this company. So, let’s say...they do call in at 12:00 or 12:05 pm, and apologize for being late. You can guarantee that they got the time wrong. Do not be a jerk about it. Do not even bring it up, unless they do first. It looks like you are being petty. Laugh it off to yourself as a sign that this company’s hiring manager needs to learn how to use a Google calendar. 6. When 12:15 pm rolls around...it is an interview no show Now is the time when you say to yourself: “I am going to calmly write an email and let them know I showed up to do the Skype interview but did not connect. Should I consider setting up a new Skype interview?” Write the friendly email and see what happens. If they reply with an apology, great. If they do not reply within 24 hours, that company is officially on your “No Apply List”. Unfortunately, not everyone sees a need to respect the time of complete strangers. If companies have employees behaving this way, it may be a sign of something bigger. Be happy you were not interviewed or hired. 7. After the interview no show Well, you did your best Skype interview possible. You were on time. You were prepared. You checked the interview time was accurate before waiting an hour for an interview that did not show. Then, you sent an email along the way checking that all was ok. It was courteous of you. Unfortunately, this happens and job interviews do not always turn out to be entirely fair processes. They may have skipped your interview for some other reason you will never know. Therefore, just write it off as a lesson learned in the values of patience, courtesy, and professionalism. Experiences like this, in the long run, make you a stronger job candidate.If you have ever been the hiring manager who missed the interview, it might be time to consider hiring a specialized recruiting agency to help with your interviews.

Study links inactivity to 42% risk increase for heart disease in women

Study links inactivity to 42% risk increase for heart disease in women Study links inactivity to 42% risk increase for heart disease in women Back in February a study published in the journal Circulation warned us about the potentially fatal penalty of sitting down for too long- particularly for older women. An examination of 5,638 women between the ages of 63 and 97 posited that every hour spent sedentary is associated with a 12% risk increase for cardiovascular disease.Just a few days ago  JAMA Network published a cohort study that examined 5,861 women to provide a slightly more positive presentation of what basically amounts to the same conclusion: we should spend as little time as possible being physically idle.Follow Ladders on Flipboard!Follow Ladders’ magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and more!The women, (ages 63 to 99) observed in JAMA Network’s study were all deemed healthy before research began.  One third were African American, 17% were Hispanic and 48% were Caucasian women. Each participant was equipped with a device that measured both the amount of ph ysical activity they engaged in and the intensity of said activities throughout their weeks for about five years.  As it should happen, when researchers followed up with the pool of almost 6,000 senior women, 143 of them had developed coronary heart disease and  570 had been diagnosed with cardiovascular disease.So what sparred the women that remained healthy?The value of movementThe results (though correlative) showed that older women that engaged in 5 to 10 hours of light activity a day reaped the most health benefits. More broadly, women that were more active than not throughout their day were shown to be 42% less likely to die from coronary ailments  and 22% less likely to develop cardiovascular disease than sedentary women, in addition to having lower BMI’s and blood pressure.It’s important to note that light activity doesn’t have to mean jogging, or dusting off your stair master. As many experts point out, you can make active healthier living both enjoyable and producti ve.Do a little dancing, clean your house or go get the mail and getting dressed even constitutes. According to  Andrea LaCroix, who is the study’s lead author,  â€œThose are examples of daily life activities that we don’t think of as exercise, but we spend a lot of time doing them and they involve movement.”There are plenty of fun activity hacks if the idea of daily gym visits seems a little daunting- like getting a dog for instance.Independent of the research above, dogs have been studied to reduce blood pressure and stress levels, saying nothing of the way they force us to spend more time outdoors and walking.If the dog option isn’t viable try to cook more meals at home. Just like having a dog, the benefits of home cooked meals are pluralistic.  â€œWhen people cook most of their meals at home, they consume fewer carbohydrates, less sugar and less fat than those who cook less or not at all â€" even if they are not trying to lose weight,” according to Julia A. Wolfson, the lead author of a study published back in 2014. Moreover cooking is a form of light exercise.  Everyday Health reports that a 150-pound person that spends half an hour cooking can cut as much as 78 calories.Point being, given the bounty of research, half of which condemns long-term sitting, and the other half of which  promotes a daily dose of activity, we have very little excuse not to get moving.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
