Like many other successful ventures, the concept for U-Haul was generated out of need. After World War II, there existed the widespread need for do-it-yourself moving equipment that would be available on a one-way, nationwide basis. U-Haul co-founders L.S. “Sam” Shoen and his wife, Anna Mary Carty Shoen, recognized that need and acted upon it. Their visionary approach spread the cost of ownership among many users, facilitating the mobility of the populations of the U.S. and Canada. The covered wagon of the pioneers morphed into orange U-Haul trailers. In the process, an industry was born. Apply on worldjobtrends https://www.worldjobtrends.com/office-clerk-at-u-haul-usa/ |
I’ll tell you the decision that changed my life: It’s the one where I decided I would stop working for free. Not for you, not for anyone. If someone wants me to get on the phone or review something or stop by their office or bounce ideas around or pick my brain or whatever other deceitful euphemism they come up with for stealing my time, I’m going to say no. Because no matter what these idiots seems to believe, for a consultant or a creative, thinking and talking is work. I’m not going to do what I do for a living — advise, strategize, conceptualize, write, edit, or connect — unless money (or some other genuine currency) exchanges hands along with it. And that’s how it’s supposed to work. I admit that this is in many ways a privileged position, but it is also one I earned — at least according to the market right now. And by god, I’m not going to give it up just because you think it’s rude or entitled. Life is way too short for anything else. “The number of people who stand ready to consume one’s time, to no purpose, is almost countless,” Booker T. Washington wrote in his memoir Up From Slavery . We all face that — and warding off the people who wish to consume that time for free has become the perennial battle fought by those of us who wish to do good work and make a good living doing it. And for those of us in creative fields the battle is the most urgent — because every second spent on this is a second we can’t spend on that — the thing we’ve dedicated our lives to. The poet and writer Austin Kleon has an awesome list of strategies for saying no to these requests on his website . My favorite is from Edmund Wilson who used to hand over a business card that said “Edmund Wilson regrets that it is impossible for him…without compensation to…” and below it listed read manuscripts contribute to books or periodicals do editorial work judge literary contests give education courses deliver lectures address meetings make after-dinner speeches broadcast And then in another column, he lists all the things he’ll never do under any circumstances including “receive unknown persons who have no business with him.” Damn right. It’s clever and funny and tactful, but in and of itself a little sad. Here was this great writer, looking for a way to say no to people looking to steal his time from him without pissing them off. As though he was the asshole . Even writers themselves don’t seem to get it — because decades later the Academy Award-nominated screenwriter Josh Olson was so inundated by requests from aspiring writers he had to write his famous “ I Will Not Read Your Fucking Screenplay ” piece for the Village Voice . Because people still don’t get it. I see it both as a writer and as someone who owns a creative consultancy . It must have been the thirtieth or fortieth call with a potential client who, after first milking me for a half hour for ideas, wrapped up with “Put together a proposal and we’ll review it.” The whole preposterous nature of it all finally struck me: First I give a bunch of advice on the phone (i.e. do consulting work for them ), then I have to write and work with a designer on this proposal, and then, maybe 10-20% of the time, I’ll get a big enough client to pay for all of the times it didn’t work — oh and I’ll be too busy to actually do any of the client work because I’m so busy chasing clients in the first place. Basically, I had clients to pay for costs from people who weren’t my clients. It was the classic Red Queen scenario — to grow a marketing or creative agency you end up working more and more to stay in the same place. So a year ago I fired the designers, pared down my staff and came up with a rule: I don’t work for free. Ever. If you want to know about what kind of work I do or who I work with, read about it on my website . If you want to talk about a project, buy an hour of my time and I’ll give you all the ideas I can. If we end up working together more, the hour bought counts against the fee. What happened? All the lookey-lous have gone away. Only the legitimate clients — and the real decisions makers — remain. I’ve tried to apply the same way of thinking to my writing, to my speaking , and to any other creative work that I do. My time is valuable, and I have plenty of work, so if I am going to do more, I will be paid. The people entitled to my time no strings attached are me, my wife, my family, my friends and the truly disadvantaged — in that order and with almost no exceptions. But won’t I miss out on some good opportunities in life this way? Probably. I don’t care. I’ll tell you why: Almost every conference I’ve waived my fee for ended up treating me like crap or was a disorganized mess. Almost every get-to-know-each-other phone call went nowhere. Almost every article I submitted for ‘exposure’ did worse than the ones I’ve been compensated for. Almost every “hey will you check this out real quick” not only wasn’t quick, the effort wasn’t appreciated and immediately led to follow up requests (If you give a mouse a muffin…) And I have found that almost universally people who want to ‘pick your brain’ see it as a one way street (or worse, don’t have anything worth picking back). If one wants to live a productive and creative life — which for all of us is of an unpredictable and uncertain length— they must find a way to limit these intrusions and dead ends. Money is one way. In the marketing business this is called “lead qualification.” It’s not perfect but it’s good enough. In a famous essay , Paul Graham made the distinction between a manager and a maker and the type of schedule each keeps. Managers can afford distractions and makers can’t. The big distinction in my eyes is that one is typically paid a salary while the other is paid based on what they produce — they eat what they kill, in other words. So it’s no surprise to me who the biggest and most flagrant stealers of time are: Managers. You see, not all of us presell 40-50 hours of our time each week to an employer. So while they think hopping on the phone to discuss potentially working together is perfectly reasonable it is in fact, quite inequitable. One of the parties on that call is paid regardless of the outcome. The other is not. This is why creatives — makers — have to be so protective of their time. Because they have no such guarantees. Too often, these proposed exchanges are worse than inequitable. In fact, one is proposing to steal from the other — and then lays a guilt trip if there is any objection — even when their company has budgets for precisely this kind of thing. I see it most hypocritically from many of the productivity gurus and lifestyle entrepreneurs. They claim to value time above all else — but when it really gets down to it, they only value their own time. That’s why they send their silly audio/video messages , or ask you to appear in their podcasts, or tweet out their articles, or get on the phone or plug your own appointment into their calendar (they not only want your time for free, they don’t want to be inconvenienced by it). You see, most of these types don’t actually do anything or make anything, so they can’t conceive of how disruptive or entitled their requests are. Now sure, I have worked for free in the past. I was an unpaid intern and I have written for many outlets for free (I also respond to plenty of unsolicited emails from readers or young kids which I like doing and feel good about). But there were three important factors at play there: One, that was at the beginning of my career. Two, the experience or education that came with it was the main currency I was accepting at the time. And three, it was my choice. If they’d asked me to sweep the floors for free, I would have walked out. They were paying me — paying me in skills that are now worth money. There was something else missing then that I have now: A sense of urgency. When one is not yet totally sure of the work they want to dedicate their lives to — or the kind of lifestyle they want — they can entertain the possibility of random invitations or requests. But the second that shifts, the second a sense of purpose comes into focus, opportunity costs enter the picture. The price of free becomes clear. Today, I’m fine being blunt. I’m fine saying ‘This is what I do for a living and I don’t do it for free.’ I’m well aware that giving 20 minutes to you is 20 minutes I deprive from people and things I care about — including myself. I understand that that which is given away with little respect is returned even less so. You are more than worthy of doing the same. So I say ‘No.’ A lot. Sure, it means I have to buy my own lunch or pay for my own coffee. It means hurting some feelings and missing out on some cool trips or conferences. But just as often it sets the right expectations and breeds fruitful, mutually respectful collaborations. It means I get paid. For what I am good at. I’m sorry if that costs you money. Oh wait, that’s how it’s supposed to work. Source @ www.worldjobtrends.com |
Workplace-provided daycare is costly for businesses–but a huge benefit to employees. To women’s co-working company the Wing, it has always been part of the plan. The cost of child care exceeds the cost of rent in most of the country. Workplace-provided care is a rare luxury; few businesses can manage the necessary logistics, expenses of setup, and regulatory compliance. For co-working spaces, it’s perhaps even more difficult. Women’s co-working company the Wing, however, is thumbing its nose at those concerns, announcing Tuesday it will provide babysitting services for its members in two of its locations in the coming months. “The Little Wing” will be an onsite play space for children–essentially a mini daycare setup–with a separate entrance. The Little Wing is a pilot program, which will start at the Wing’s SoHo location in New York City around the turn of the new year. West Hollywood, California, will follow when that location opens to members early in 2019. It’s an audacious move, considering the Wing is just two years old and is in the midst of a rapid international expansion. It currently has six locations, and will more than double to 13 in 2019, adding spaces in Boston, Chicago, Seattle, London, Paris, and Toronto. The new child care offering at the SoHo Wing will allow members to drop off their small children with professional caretakers for two-to-three-hour chunks of time–enough for a meeting or networking event. It will also have its own free-to-members children’s programming: events tailored to kids age 1 to 6 involving music, art, and movement. Pricing for babysitting services will be competitive, Kassan said. Of more than 4,000 co-working spaces in the United States, only roughly two dozen offer any form of child care. How precisely did the Wing accomplish a feat so many other businesses claim they cannot? Turns out, it has been on the minds of the co-founders since they began operations under the mission “the advancement of women through community.” Still, co-founder and COO Lauren Kassan said, “we didn’t know exactly what that would look like or how that would take shape.” Then, in 2018, two things happened. One: The Wing surveyed its members. It found 20 percent were moms, and that they highly valued the potential benefit of onsite child care. Other members, too, ranked it as a high priority. Two: Kassan had her own baby. Audrey Gelman, who founded the Wing alongside Kassan, wrote on Instagram Tuesday: “Watching my co-founder balance a 9-month-old and a fast-growing start-up has reinforced how incredible women are, but just how much the deck is stacked against us to have it all.” Kassan and Gelman enlisted the help of Keri Snyder, the former COO of Citybabes, a New York City-based child care center, as well as that of Gelman’s mother, Lisa Spiegel, who co-founded SoHo Parenting, a counseling and family-support center. Renderings of the forthcoming SoHo space, on an additional floor of the building where the Wing operates, reveal all the classic preschool bookshelves and wooden stacking toys–but inserted into a miniature version of the Wing, with tiny midcentury armchairs and a baby loveseat. “We had many Pinterest boards going,” Kassan laughed. Kassan hopes other co-working spaces and companies will follow suit and develop their own child care facilities. “There’s a perception that it’s incredibly challenging and a daunting task,” she said. “But people just don’t prioritize it.” Source www.worldjobtrends.com |
There are the co-workers who are constantly interrupting you in meetings. There are the ones who don’t seem to pull their weight. And there are even the ones who blast their music or chew their gum at the loudest possible volume. Whatever their annoying habits, these co-workers obviously aren’t all that self-aware. After all, if they knew how much of a nuisance they were, they might actually be embarrassed and put an end to their obnoxious behaviors. Of course, you’re not one to be blunt in these scenarios. Speaking up to a co-worker who’s annoying or disruptive isn’t just a courageous act—it’s a risk in itself. It can either go over well or backfire on you, or—in the case of someone who’s not in tune with themselves—your feedback just doesn’t stick. So how can you ensure your comment both resonates and is received positively by a not-so-self-aware colleague? Here are four rules to follow. 1. You Have to Be Super Clear Since this person is already way behind you in terms of awareness, you have to work extra hard to explain clearly what they’re doing. Look, this isn’t always easy. But tiptoeing around the real problem only means that the person on the receiving end is either confused, misinformed, or insulted. So, before you chat with them, get really clear on what exactly they’re doing that’s driving you nuts. Is it what they’re saying or how they’re saying it? Is it something they always do—or only in certain situations? And, is it a habit that they can correct, or is it something that’s out of their hands? 2. You Have to Give Context Part of how humans best process information is context. Context makes things easier to remember. Can you remember what you wore last Thursday? Probably not. But if I asked you what you wore last Thursday when you were at a bar with your friends playing pool, you could probably easily recall what your outfit looked like. Also, context helps explain the “why.” When you tell someone why what they’re doing is bothering you, distracting you, or insulting you, it carries more weight. Sure, you can tell someone to stop talking so loudly around your desk. But, if you tell them that their volume is preventing you from finishing that important report due tomorrow, they may have more empathy and actually turn it down a notch. Give the person something to work with when delivering whatever feedback you have. When and where were they doing said habit? What was going on at the time? Why did it affect you in this specific way? 3. You Have to Do it Nicely One, because this person really isn’t meaning to do what they’re doing. As author Julia Chang of LearnVest states, “Most people want to vilify low-EQ co-workers, but don’t fault them for skills they don’t have.” Be the bigger person and assume that your co-worker is truly well-intentioned and not deliberately trying to drive you up a wall. Two, because niceness always pays off in the end. You know how I said earlier that addressing a not-so-self-aware co-worker can backfire? That’s a lot more likely to happen if you do it in a condescending or rude way. Let’s put these first three points together. For example, let’s say your co-worker is a bit too chatty at the desks. You might approach it in the following way: Hey David! I was wondering if I could talk to you for a second. While I love chatting with you at our desks—I could literally spend hours talking about dog tweets like we did yesterday—I’ve been really struggling to finish this article that’s due Friday. I personally have a hard time not getting distracted by what everyone’s talking about around me, so I need to call in a small favor: Whenever you want to chat with our team about non-work stuff, could you move to the kitchen or Slack, or pop by toward the end of the day? 4. You Have to Recognize Their Efforts and Hold Them Accountable It’s possible the first time you say something it still won’t resonate. If that’s the case, a simple poke reminding them of your talk can work wonders: “Just wanted to remind you that I’d appreciate it if you could keep the talking to a minimum at the desks!” or “Thanks again for listening to my concerns about being interrupted in last week’s meeting. I think your idea was great and I hope we can both throw ideas out there without having to talk over each other!” But if they’ve already made moves to improve, don’t forget to acknowledge that. Change doesn’t happen overnight—if that chronic interrupter only jumped in once or twice in your latest meeting as opposed to every time, that’s a step in the right direction. Recognize that their effort makes a huge difference for you and isn’t going unnoticed. Doing so strengthens your work relationship and encourages them to keep doing better. My final piece of advice is, if this person just isn’t budging, you may want to bring in another player—your boss or HR, for example. Because it’s entirely possible to have a co-worker who’s both oblivious and self-centered, having that extra backing gives you more authority to shut the person down.

Retaining top talent and unicorn employees is key to long-term productivity and team-effectiveness. So knowing what makes people happy at work is important. Benefits and Incentives Some of the most effective benefits and incentives are greater working independence, development opportunities, healthcare, commuting assistance, and performance bonuses. Satisfaction with the Environment A clean and organized workplace with a lively atmosphere, ample space, and sufficient facilities is crucial to maintain employee morale. People are also accounted for in the environment. Opportunity to socialize and collaborate is a big part of workplace synergy. Financial Compensation Payment for work rendered, with bonuses and incentives to supplement it, provides stability. Being open to the possibility of pay raises in the future with long-term tenure and continued good performance is also a motivating factor. Inspiration for Working Smarter Encourage smart work instead of busy work. This is more productive and rewarding. This approach needs to be alive in managers who supervise without micromanaging. Great Relationships with Leadership Those who strive to prove themselves every single day should be commended for their work ethic. Those who may be falling behind should be consoled and sympathized with, which can be motivation to perform better Connecting with employees and forming relationships is a factor in a harmonious workplace. Challenge and Excitement People want to be engaged with challenging work that piques their interest and makes the most of their technical and interpersonal skills. Being able to complete projects with a dynamic and well-balanced team is motivating. Mentorship Learning from more experienced members of the company can make things easier for new and less experienced employees. Mentorship is conducive to learning on the job with a more hands-on approach. Recognition It goes without saying. Everyone likes to be respected and recognized for their contributions. Career Development Most employees don’t want to be stuck in dead-end jobs with no prospects for advancement and doing the same thing for years. Being engaged includes new challenges to overcome and new skills to learn in order to develop as employees and people. Work-Life Balance Too much overtime dampens productivity. A fair amount of sick leave and vacation time is motivation to take ample rest and recovery time. This insures that employees go back to work with a renewed sense of purpose and excitement to perform. Participating in Something Special A company can retain employees when the culture is harmonious, the work is engaging, and everyone gets along. Further, a company with a mission statement supports a workforce energized to fulfill it. Possibly above all, people are motivated to be part of something that’s not only about making a profit, but also about providing a quality service or game-changing solution to the world.

Ever wondered why a Brit applies with a CV and an American with a resume? And why does an Aussie apply with both? There are a few differences between the two types of application documents and this article will straighten out your queries as well as tell you where in the world you are likely to use which document. Let me kick off the bonanza by introducing the contender in the blue corner… CV: A CV (Curriculum Vitæ, which means course of life in Latin) is an in-depth document that can be laid out over two or more pages and it contains a high level of detail about your achievements, a great deal more than just a career biography. The CV covers your education as well as any other accomplishments like publications, awards, honours etc. The document tends to be organised chronologically and should make it easy to get an overview of an individual’s full working career. A CV is static and doesn’t change for different positions, the difference would be in the cover letter. Resume: A resume, or résumé, is a concise document typically not longer than one page as the intended the reader will not dwell on your document for very long. The goal of a resume is to make an individual stand out from the competition. The job seeker should adapt the resume to every position they apply for. It is in the applicant’s interest to change the resume from one job application to another and to tailor it to the needs of the specific post. A resume doesn’t have to be ordered chronologically, doesn’t have to cover your whole career like and is a highly customisable document. Differences: As stated, three major differences between CVs and resumes are the length, the purpose and the layout. A resume is a brief summary of your skills and experience over one or two pages, a CV is more detailed and can stretch well beyond two pages. The resume will be tailored to each position whereas the CV will stay put and any changes will be in the cover letter. A CV has a clear chronological order listing the whole career of the individual whereas a resume’s information can be shuffled around to best suit the applicant. I would say the main difference between a resume and a CV is that a CV is intended to be a full record of your career history and a resume is a brief, targeted list of skills and achievements. Let’s revise: CV – long, covers your entire career, static Resume – short, no particular format rule, highly customisable Usage around the world: A resume is the preferred application document in the US and Canada. Americans and Canadians would only use a CV when applying for a job abroad or if searching for an academic or research oriented position. In the UK, Ireland and New Zealand, a CV is used in all contexts and resumes aren’t used at all. The CV prevails in mainland Europe and there is even a European Union CV format available for download. In Germany, the CV is more commonly known as a Lebenslauf (true to the latin origins) and is only one of many application document the poor German job seekers must produce to get an interview. In Australia, India and South Africa, the terms resume and CV are used interchangeably. The term resume is used more for jobs in the private sector and CV is more commonplace when applying for public service positions. Question: So what gives if you apply for an American company in Europe or vice versa? The jaded folks in HR will accept both types although I would recommend you use the local version. It’s not that hard to convert your document after all and if you hit a brick wall, just ask me for help. Which do you prefer, the CV, the resume, both, none? Please share your experience in the comments below! Read more article @www.worldjobtrends.com Believe me you would love them.

How to deal with a toxic workplace October 19, 2018 Danurugwo First thing’s first: if your toxic workplace isn’t going to get better and the problems you’ve identified permeate the entire organizational culture, there’s no shame in launching your job search, and seeing what other opportunities are out there! It’s one thing to stick around at a workplace you love… aside from that one demeaning coworker who always talks down to you and makes you feel 3 inches tall. It’s another to try to fix a culture that’s completely broken and beyond repair, especially if you’re trying to do it alone, without the support of leadership. If you feel unsafe or completely mentally drained, just by heading into work each day, you need to take care of yourself first and get out, the sooner the better. differentiating between unhappiness and toxicity There’s a lot of bad apples out there: the sullen worker whose negativity permeates the office; the aggressive bully who wins through criticism and intimidation; the thunder-thief who subverts your efforts before undermining and taking credit for your hard work and ingenuity. These personalities can transform an otherwise awesome workplace into a pit of despair and negativity. It’s normal to have a bad day once in a while. You’re not going to like everyone you work with, nor they, you. You’re all unique individuals operating at different levels of a power relationship. If you can get along with and actually like most of the people you work with, consider yourself fortunate. If you work for an organization that has zero tolerance for bullying and disrespectful or intimidating behaviour, your company rates high on the bell curve.

Authorities says that a student gunman killed and wounded dozens at vocational school Kerch before killing himself. A student has attacked a vocational college in the Russian-annexed peninsula, Crimea, killing at least 19 people before killing himself, according to authorities. Russia’s Investigative Committee said CCTV footage showed 18-year-old student Vladislav Roslyakov entering Kerch Polytechnic College with a rifle on Wednesday and firing at students. Sergei Astrankin, the director of emergency medicine for Crimea, was cited by Russian state television as saying the death toll stood at 19, excluding the killer. The incident in Kerch, a city of 147,000 people, was initially reported as a gas explosion and a possible “terrorist” attack. But the committee later said it was a case of mass murder. Dozens of people were also injured in the attack. Anastasia Yenshina, a 15-year-old student at the college, said she was in a toilet on the ground floor of the building with some friends when she heard the sound of an explosion. “I came out and there was dust and smoke, I couldn’t.......Read More https://www.worldjobtrends.com/crimea-hit-by-deadly-attack19-killed-see-photos/ |
Hiring managers and recruiters alike say they’ve seen more poorly written resumes cross their desks recently than ever before. Attract more interview offers and ensure your resume doesn’t eliminate you from consideration by following these six key tips: 1. Format Your Resume Wisely “Do the Hiring Managers” Work for Them No matter how well written, your resume won’t get a thorough reading the first time through. Generally a resume gets scanned for 25 seconds. Scanning is more difficult if it is hard to read, poorly organized or exceeds two pages. Use a logical format and wide margins, clean type and clear headings Selectively apply bold and italic typeface that help guide the reader’s eye Use bullets to call attention to important points (i.e. accomplishments) 2. Identify Accomplishments not Just Job Descriptions Hiring managers, especially in technical fields like engineering, seek candidates that can help them solve a problem or satisfy a need within their company. Consequently, you can’t be a solution to their problems without stating how you solved similar problems in other companies and situations. Focus on what you did in the job, NOT what your job was there’s a difference Include a one or two top line job description first, then list your accomplishments For each point ask yourself, What was the benefit of having done what I did? Accomplishments should be unique to you, not just a list of what someone else did Avoid using the generic descriptions of the jobs you originally applied for or held 3. Quantify Your Accomplishments Q: What’s the most common resume mistake? A: Making too many general claims and using too much industry jargon that does not market the candidate. A resume is a marketing document designed to sell your skills and strengths rather than just portray a bio of the candidate. Include and highlight specific achievements that present a comprehensive picture of your marketability Quantify your achievements to ensure greater confidence in the hiring manager and thereby generate interest percentages, dollars, number of employees, etc. Work backwards to quantify your accomplishments by asking, If I had not done X, what could have happened? Cater Your Resume for the Industry Unlike advertising and design professionals who have greater creative license in designing their resume for those fields, the mechanical engineering industry won’t be impressed and may be turned off by distinctive resume design. Err on the side of being conservative stylistically Your accomplishments, error-free writing, grammatically-correct, clean, crisp type and paper will make the impression for you 5. Replace your Objective” with a “Career Summary” A Career Summary is designed to give a brief overview of who you are and what you do. Most Objectives sound similar: Seeking a challenging, interesting position in X where I can use my skills of X, Y, and Z to contribute to the bottom line. Not telling at all. Grab a hiring manager’s attention right from the beginning, remembering you have only 25 few seconds to make a good impression Spend time developing a summary that immediately gets their attention, and accurately and powerfully describes you as a solution to their problems 6.

For many people, the office can feel like a second home. After all, you spend the majority of your waking hours there. You probably spend more time with your co-workers than you do with your family. If you’re not happy with your work environment, that dissatisfaction can carry over into your personal life, damaging everything from your self-esteem to your friendships. Toxic workplaces also can have an impact on your health: the increased stress of working in a dysfunctional office can lead to job burnout, fatigue, and depression. If any of the above symptoms ring a bell with you, it’s time to take stock of the dysfunction in your workplace in order to evaluate if the situation is fixable — or decide if it’s time to move on with your career. How can you identify if you’re trapped in a hostile workplace? Here are seven telling signs you may be working in a toxic office environment: 1. You’re told to feel “lucky you have a job .” If you’ve ever heard this statement from your boss or HR, it’s a major red flag. This scare tactic is a means of threatening you into staying in a marginalized position, and is symptomatic of an organization that thrives on bullying behavior and control. 2. Poor communication. Do you feel like you’re left out of the loop regarding important information? A pervasive lack of communication characterizes most toxic workplaces. You may get little to no feedback about your performance, and when you do, it’s negative and harsh — not the constructive type You may be doing the work of two, three, or four people, yet it’s not unusual for your boss or colleagues to take credit for your accomplishments. If you’ve had a discussion with management or HR several times regarding a lack of recognition and a dearth of growth opportunities (such as promotions, raises, and challenging assignments), yet have seen no changes, it may be time to leave. 3. Everyone has a bad attitude. If you walk into work and everyone around you is miserable, a la “Office Space,” then you may be trapped in a hostile environment. In this type of office, there is no enthusiasm; no one coming in with smiles on their faces and no one ever says “I love working here.” A high turnover rate among employees is a good sign that people are fleeing very quickly, most likely because of their unhappiness and poor morale at the office. 4. There’s always office drama. If cliques dominate your office, it can feel as if you’re back in high school all over again. You may be anxious and paranoid that your colleagues are talking about you. Toxic, cliquey co-workers are most likely to be found hovering around the water cooler whispering in each other’s ears. They make what should be friendly workplace competition seem hostile and dog-eat-dog. There’s always rumors or gossip floating around the office; misunderstanding, favoritism, and infighting are the norm. 5. Dysfunction reigns. Do meetings feel like a waste of time, inevitably blowing up into disorganized chaos where nothing is accomplished? Are the company’s operations disjointed and failing? Toxic workplaces are full of confusion, arbitrary deadlines, lack of focus, and a general malaise that “this is the way it’s always been done.” If new policies or regulations are constantly getting added, or if management is never around to help solve problems, these are symptoms of a larger problem stemming from poor leadership. 6. You have a tyrannical boss. This type of boss is always trying to control your every move and you feel as if he or she is just waiting to pounce on you for messing up. Toxic bosses usually unwilling to listen to others and feel as if their way is always the right way. Your boss loves wielding his or her power and showing others that they’re in charge. He or she probably isn’t willing to lend a hand to help in tasks or give you credit for a job well done. If you feel as if your boss would expect you to come to work even if you were on your deathbed, you might be experiencing a tyrannical and toxic boss. 7. You feel in your gut something is off. When it comes to your instincts in this situation, trust them. If you feel like something is fishy at work, chances are you might be right. Does your boss seem a little shady? Are you asked to hide information from clients and customers? These are signs that something probably is not exactly what it seems. Pay attention to any physical symptoms you experience such as sleepless nights, feeling constantly vigilant, sweaty palms, a racing heartbeat — your body could be signaling a red flag of danger. While none of these problems are acceptable, rest assured it’s possible to find healthy ways to manage difficulties with your boss and colleagues in order to overcome the stress and overwhelm working in a toxic environment brings. The first step is recognizing and becoming more aware of the dysfunctional patterns surrounding you. Remember, while you may not have control of the people and situations around you, you always have a choice about how you respond. Get More Article At www.worldjobtrends.com |

As you prepare for your interview, you may be considering which questions the employer is going to ask you. While there’s no way to know for sure what topics will be covered, there are several popular interview questions you can expect to be asked. Every interviewer is different and their questions may vary. By preparing answers for these ten most common interview questions, you can develop compelling talking points to make a great impression during your next job interview. 10 most common interview questions (with examples) 1. Why do you want to work here? Interviewers often ask this question as a way to determine whether or not you took time to research the company and to learn why you see yourself as a good fit. The best way to prepare for this question is to do your homework and learn about the products, services, mission, history and culture of this workplace. In your answer, mention the aspects of the company that appeal to you and align with your career goals. Explain why you’re looking for these things in an employer. Example: “The company’s mission to help college grads pay off their student loan debt speaks to me. I’ve been in that situation, and I’d love the opportunity to work with a company that’s making a difference. Finding a company with a positive work environment and values that align with my own has remained a priority throughout my job search, and this company ranks at the top of the list.” 2. What interests you about this role? Like the previous question, hiring managers often include this question to make sure you understand the role, and to give you the opportunity to highlight your relevant skills. In addition to thoroughly reading the job description, it can be helpful to compare the role requirements against your skills and experience. Choose a few things you particularly enjoy or excel at, and focus on those in your answer. Example: “I’ve been passionate about user experience design for most of my professional career. I was excited to see this company uses Adobe products because I’m well-versed in the entire suite. Also, I’m a huge advocate for applying agile workflows to design. I think it’s the most effective way to tackle large projects. I was able to successfully build and launch an agile process in my previous role as UX manager, and we saw considerable improvements in project speed. 3. What are your greatest strengths? This question gives you an opportunity to talk about both your technical and soft skills. When an interviewer asks you to describe your strengths, share qualities and personal attributes and then relate them back to the role for which you’re interviewing. Example: ”I’m a natural problem-solver. I find it rewarding to dig deep and uncover solutions to challenges—it’s like solving a puzzle. It’s something I’ve always excelled at, and something I enjoy. Much of product development is about finding innovative solutions to challenging issues, which is what drew me to this career path in the first place.” Read More https://www.worldjobtrends.com/10-interview-questions-and-answers/ |
I received this through email from a friend with a subject very touching story. I prefer to entitle it as A Touching Job Interview Story since its all about an academically excellent guy who had a job interview with his future employer. The guy probably doesn’t appreciate the hardship and difficulty that his mother endures all those years when he was still studying. Can you imagine he didn’t have an idea what the hands of his mother look like until the interviewer requested to clean his mother’s hands. Read the whole story below and please keep in mind the lessons learned: A Touching Story (Unknown Author) One young academically excellent person went to apply for a managerial position in a big company. He passed the first interview, the director did the last interview, made the last decision. The director discovered from the CV that the youth’s academic achievements were excellent all the way, from the secondary school until the postgraduate research, never had a year when he did not score. The director asked, “Did you obtain any scholarships in school?” the youth answered “none”. The director asked, ” Was it your father who paid for your school fees?” The youth answered,................ Read more https://www.worldjobtrends.com/a-touching-job-interview-story/ |

Everybody stresses out sometimes. No matter how you feel about your job or life overall, there’ll inevitably be moments in the office or outside of it when you’re feeling antsy or can’t focus. Maybe you know exactly why you’re anxious or maybe it’s a general sense of restlessness that you can’t quite explain. That’s normal. In the long run, you should of course try to pinpoint what’s bothering you and why and take steps to address it—whether you realize you hate your job, need to get more comfortable having honest conversations with your boss, or are anxious upon returning from vacation or the weekend. But in the short run, you’ll want to have a strategy or two in your pocket that you can pull out right now to get back on track—and that might also help you identify the underlying issue. 1. Go for a Walk Taking a walk can get you thinking, boost your creativity, and just make you feel better. And you don’t have to go on one long excursion; science says even the accumulation of five-minute walks is good for you. 2. Make Lists Jill Pante, director of the University of Delaware’s Lerner Career Services Center, makes lists when she’s feeling off. She keeps two spiral notebooks for her to-dos and fills one with immediate tasks and the other with ongoing tasks and projects that don’t have a clear or immediate deadline. “It helps me put priorities in perspective and makes me feel better when I start crossing things off,” she says. “Lists help get all the chaos out of my mind and into a ‘controlled’ place.” 3. Clean or Organize Cleaning can help let out frustration, use up anxious energy, slow down your thoughts, and foster a sense of calm and control. So, whether you tidy up your desk or clean your dishes from lunch, try getting yourself organized and back in the zone. And if that’s not enough, tackle a bigger space when you get home. 4. Look at Cute [Insert Animal Here] Videos When Ai Onda, a fullstack engineer at The Muse, is feeling overwhelmed or distracted at work, “I turn to watching videos of puppers,” she says. “They’re so innocent and are genuinely [in] good spirits and seeing them being silly makes me laugh and reminds me everything will be okay.” Need some suggestions? Check out our favorite videos for a bad day. 5. Plan a Vacation If the puppies aren’t quite enough, or if Onda is looking for an alternate strategy, she likes to plan a vacation—or even just look for cool places she might want to visit sometime. “It subconsciously reminds me the world is big and also allows me to look forward to things,” she says. “I get frustrated when things are stagnant and traveling allows for change.” 6. Do Whatever Exercise You Do There’s really nothing like moving your body to get out of your head. After some of the most difficult days I’ve had at the office, taking a dance or fitness class has often helped me channel my nervous energy and forced me to focus on something that’s not work...........
