Source: Top 10 worst jobs in 2015

In 2008, there were 2.03 million people in employment. By 2016, total employment is expected to be 77,000 lower than in 2008, recovering from a low of 1.7 million in 2010. In 2008, one quarter of employment was in the market services sector (finance, business services, hotels and other), just under one fifth in health and education, 14% in distribution (retail, wholesale and motor) and 13% in construction. By 2016, the sectoral distribution of employment will change somewhat. Traditional manufacturing is expected to lose 2 percentage points of its share and account for 5% of total employment by 2015. Construction is expected to account for 10% of employment in 2015 compared to 13% in 2008; agriculture for 4% compared to 6%. An increase in share is expected to be observed in market services, high tech manufacturing and transport and communications.

- Agriculture

In 1990, almost 170,000 people were employed in agricultural activities. By 2008, this number had declined to 117,000. Employment in agriculture is expected to continue to decline, with an expected net loss of jobs of just under 30,000 by 2016.

- High Tech Manufacturing

In 1990, less than 90,000 people were employed in high tech manufacturing compared to almost 140,000 in 2008. Employment in this sector is expected to fully recover following the recession and exceed pre-recession levels by 20,000 in 2016.

The share of machinery and equipment within high tech manufacturing has been declining (from 55% in 1990 to 49% in 2008) and this trend is expected to continue: by 2015 this sub-sector is expected to account for 45% of the high tech sector. In the short term, employment in machinery and equipment is expected to contract. However, beyond the recession, this sector, particularly medical devices manufacturing, is expected to grow strongly. By 2015, employment in the machinery and equipment sector is expected to be almost 4000 greater than before the recession.

- Traditional Manufacturing

In 2008, there were 146,000 people employed in traditional manufacturing compared to 162,000 a decade previously. Employment in this sector is expected to contract sharply during the recession and to continue on a negative trajectory beyond that, with employment declining to 100,000 by 2016.

Textile and clothing manufacturing is expected to experience the greatest relative number of net job losses over the forecasting period, with this sector expected to be reduced to less than 3000 people by 2016.

Food, drink and tobacco manufacturing is expected to experience the smallest relative number of net job losses, with employment contracting by 3000 between 2008 and 2016; more than a half of this loss is expected to occur during the recession.

- Construction

More than a third of the total expected employment decline over the forecasting period is expected be in construction. The sector is expected to lose a net 120,000 jobs by 2010. Recovery is expected beyond 2010; however, at 190,000, employment in 2016 is expected to be 60,000 lower than in 2008. This, however, may prove to be an optimistic projection if the housing market remains subdued.

- Distribution

Employment in both the retail and motor vehicle sectors is expected to contract by a quarter during the recession and to recover afterwards. Employment is, however, not expected to recover to levels recorded in 2008 by the end of the forecasting period. As a result of the credit crunch, employment in the retail sector is expected to be 13,000 lower in 2016 compared to 2008 and 4000 lower in the motor vehicle trade.

distribution

- Transport and Communications

Employment in transport and communications is expected to decline somewhat during the recession and to recover beyond 2010, exceeding the level recorded in 2008 by over 10,000 by 2016. Transport, which accounts for 66% of the sector, is expected to be worse affected during the recession with expected net job losses of 2000 by 2010. By contrast, employment in the communication sector is expected to hold up during the recession. Employment in both sectors is expected to grow beyond 2010, each exceeding 2008 levels by over 5,000 by 2015.

People said that interview is full of challenge and trap for candidates but as a business owner or recruiter, have you ever thought it’s you who have suffered from your own traps.

When you’ve already uploaded some job vacancies for weeks and still unfilled, probably you would abruptly start to panic. Then you met someone almost fit for your standard and they get hired. Was that choice right? Here are a few tips to avoid recruitment mistakes you could make in interview process.

1. You won’t need the second best

You spend your time to build a list of criteria not to find the wrong person. Leave the vacancy a little longer isn’t a bad idea when considering to result in a long term rather than filling it with a poor hire. Many hiring managers can fall into this trap. A candidate get hire because he showed up with a clean shirt and pulse and an average ability far from what you ever expected but still better than other who ever came to interview? Only if you take the recruitment process and interview seriously, more importantly not rushing through it, you could avoid this trap.

2. Don’t always trust your gut

It takes just a blink of an eye to evaluate someone at the first met. In this short time, you, as a normal person, will forms an opinion about candidates based on their appearance, their body language, their demeanor, their mannerisms, and how they are dressed. But don’t let it control your whole emotions and decisions to hire. Look for the evidence in their past performance and history experience, not where they live and what they’re wearing. It’s easier to hire someone you like or have a good feeling about them, but spend 30 - 40 minutes doesn’t mean you know them, instead, use that time to explore applicant’s potential and assessing abilities.

3. Let they speak up, not you

Let these candidates know more about your company’s policy and their duty is a good way to attract and clear their mission. However, don’t go into sales overdrive, spend most of the interview time only to brag about your company. Remember the formula for a successful interview is 20/80 – in which 20% of the time you will talk and other 80% only to listen to the candidates. Interview is the chance to seek for the suitable employees and express the profession of the company. Suffering in this trap will make you lose the opportunity to find the best ones.

The war for quality talent is getting fiercer. So if you are lucky enough to have identified that ‘diamond in the rough’, and you have them sitting right there in front of you, you need to ensure you make the most of the situation … and not waste either party’s time

Asia with its fast economic development is becoming a favorite and potential investment destination of many entrepreneurs and institutions

While global economic powers China, Japan, India, and South Korea continue powering through, some countries like Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam and Sri Lanka have entered the path to long-term and stable growth.

Their charming culture and people may hold you back for an idea of expanding or starting up your business. What do you need to know and prepare?

1. Culture differences.

Undoubtedly, every country has their own an interesting culture and which sometimes really strange to others. However, taking time to discover a culture where you want to do business is necessary. You can find a common model for local customers, potential partners. Don’t try to change them, but change your company to suit them.

https://vnmanpower.com/upload_images/images/Blog/Vietnam%20fact.jpg
Another mistake that some foreign companies could suffer is they treat all Asia as one country "We’ll do business the same way in Indonesia as we do it in Japan or China." If that thought has ever come to your mind or that’s what you’re doing now: fail to respect the cultural differences of each country, sadly to say sooner or later you will end up paying the price.

2. Local employees who understand the language

English is the second language in many Asia countries, but it is still an obstacle when you consider to start up in here. Planning on hiring some staffs who could easily communicate with you and local customers as well as deeply understand the culture will boost your successful rate.

3. Showing your commitment

Expressing a strong commitment to long-term relationships with your business partner whether in prosperous or difficult duration is a key element to success.

Most Asia people have a strong sense of loyalty to people and to communities, which creates a good company image and builds the trust and confidence with your customers.

China is a striking illustration, trust lies at the core of all relationships and it is critical given guanxi is regarded as the key to unlocking profitable and highly productive business dealings

Colors not just affect your employee mood but productivity. That’s why it’s best to decorate your workplace with colors that help spark creativity and boost up output.
As per modern research, when our eyes get connected with a color, our brains would release various chemical that impact our physical and emotional level. Rather, colors not only affect our moods but also our productivity.

Color therapy has been, for many years, practiced in conventional healing professions, but recently, more businesses have also availed color to shift employee moods. If you learn a little about attributes of each color, you can use that information to stimulate the atmosphere at your workplace.

Color qualities

Red

Red is related to high power and energy. This color signals ambition, courage and strength. It stimulates speed and alertness, and associates us with our physical self.

Red can help develop confidence and move us forward when we need be task oriented or active.

Still, if there is excessive red, people can experience hostility, irritation or anger. Commonly, red works best as an accent color instead of being the primary color in decoration.

Orange

Orange color is inviting, warm and joyful. It inspires feelings of happiness, sociability and enjoyable connection. It helps boost up extroverted behavior – an amazing color to use in the gathering space to encourage interaction and building relationship.

As orange includes red, too much of this color (or an orange that is too intense or bright) can stirs up overwhelming, frustrating or irritating feelings.

Yellow

Yellow signals brightness, optimism, mental clarity and cheery attitude. It helps promote clear, creative, upbeat thinking and decision making. This color can work to ease depression and induce laughter.

Still, as shown in studies, over-exposure to this color, especially deep and intense yellows, can arouse irritability, hyperactivity, crying, and can cause hot temper.

Green

Green is an enormously pleasing color. It has many just-so-wonderful qualities – promoting balance, renewal, peace, and refreshment – which give a calming effect and help alleviate stress. An excellent way to bring green into your workplace spaces is with indoor plants.

While there isn’t too negative aspect to excessive green, this color can encourage laziness and lack of initiative if it’s overused.

Blue

Blue invokes calm and rest. It’s a really popular color; most of people will respond that blue is their favorite color. Blue does a fantastic job as promoting a deep relaxing sleep. It also can help encourage imagination and intuitive thinking.

Unlike other colors, higher amounts of blue can, commonly, be tolerated. Yet, this color is cool, and excessive blue can turn feelings into pessimism, apathy, or separation. Balancing blues with a warmer color is a nice idea for gathering spaces.

Violet

Violet promotes areas of problem solving in our brain, invokes intuition, creativity and artistic ability. In design, this color conveys sophistication and richness. Overusing violet may induce feelings of emotional suppression or insecurity.

So what colors are more likely to motivate employees and boost productivity?
Orange
https://vnmanpower.com/upload_images/images/Blog/office-with-orrange-color.png

This is an operative color. Many gyms and health experts use this color as it promotes energy and production. You should spread generously orange in your staff work area. As shown in studies, even if people are weary, spattering the walls with a nice dose of this color will get them feeling revived, working. Then try orange in your offices, think-tank areas, and anywhere expecting brainstorming or production.

Blue

Unlike red, blue slows down your heart rate, and helps let out calming endorphins throughout your body. It’s a great color to have in lunch or break room though, it’s not a good option in any production areas. It would be helpful in a meeting room or in anywhere that being calm is important. This color is a fantastic choice for an outside wall near a patio, a restroom, or a waiting room. Then while blue will calm your workers, many of its versions may also send them to sleep.

Green

Green is such a stabilizer. All versions of this color are likely to calm nerves, just as blue does, but it doesn’t cause the sleepy impact that blue can have. Green is another fantastic color in cafeteria or lunchroom, as it helps revive the nervous system. If your workers are feeling like they truly took a break during the lunch of coffee time, they will come back to their work with relaxed mind, refreshing feel and be prepared to take on bigger tasks.

Red

If your employee task or job involves physical activity, then red is color of productivity. It has been shown to raise blood flow, heart rate, and promote emotion and passion. If there is something in the office that you want to get attention, then paint it this color.

What about you? What colors have you brought into your workplace? How about their effects? Share with us!

The talents will find the best work environment to boost themselves. According to a survey of PwC, the global mobility levels in the workforce have increased by 25 percent in the last 10 years and predicts a further 50% growth by 2020.

- Panorama Picture

The population movement due to economic affection has been inevitable for hundreds of years from the merchants, traders and craftsmen in the 17th and 18th centuries to the analysts, technicians and teachers of the 21st.

The Boston Consulting Group has conducted a survey with 200,000 workers and found that, on average, 64% of the world’s working adults would consider taking a job in overseas, which in just a few years ago, a high number of workers said a workplace close to their home is in the list of priorities. And Another PwC study indicated that 71% of younger generation said they wanted and expected an overseas assignment during their career and viewed it as a path to making this a reality.

- The advantage of the movement trend

We will analysis the advantages of talent mobilization in 2 different aspects: workers and companies

For the labor : With a careful prepare, working abroad could be a turning point of your life in a positive meaning. You will have the chance to learn a new language, gain insight into a new culture, improve your communication skills. Not just that, if you are an executive, you possibly will be paid a higher wage comparing when you work in your country, it also a combination form of working and traveling with experience your personal growth.

For company: This trend is an opportunity to diversify company's human resources, choose the best employees from all over the world and build a multinational culture, which is a challenge requiring a better leader skill at the managers when they have to prepare yourselves a certain amount of knowledge about different cultures and etiquettes as well as the way to assemble their employees together as a strong collective.

On the other side, emigration also has a good impact on boosting trade for their home nations and foreign exchange rotation.

- The hurdles have to face

This global phenomenon often referred to as a ‘brain drain’, is now a big issue especially for the developing country. Facing an enable ever-increasing talent mobility when an entire new generations try to seek their fortunes in countries more conducive to their career advancement. As an illustration, In Israel where emigrating still keeps some historic social stigma, not to mention the cost of living and the scarcity of postgraduate roles has led to 7% of this country population choosing to live in oversea. To avoid it, a country or company should create favorable conditions to attract the talent as well as concentrate on improving the quality in infrastructure, company culture, not just the quantity.

Whether this trend in labor market includes some good and bad impacts, you can’t deny that talent mobility has opened another phenomenon - our workforces empowered by technology would switch from a closed, localised and top-down model to one that is both open, international, offer nations, communities, individuals a variety of economic trajectories and driven by everyone. It’s only up to the “landing place” choice of each and every one of us.

Communication is important in a workplace setting because people must interact with one another in ways that will get the job done as quickly and effectively as possible and in ways that will maintain the morale of the employees. Below are ways you should know to improve communication between your employees. There may be effective techniques that you haven’t utilized.

Once an organization is like a machine, it won’t work as efficiently as possible. By contrast, if your business functions like a living body with hand and foot in a dependent connection, the subsequent fruit gathered will be amazing. All share their efforts to achieve the same goal. To do so, you should help the communication between your employees.

1. Evaluate current channels and methods of communication
Before taking any approach, step back and look at how the current situation is. When analysing your in-house communication status, note what processes are effective. Which departments or individuals have developed good communication? Is there any evident communication gaps? Can you apply what is working well to the areas in need of help, or do you need to build a workplace communication system from the ground? Invest in current channels and methods to make right decision.

2. Set up the office in ways that facilitate easy communication
Look at your building and human resources arrangement, and try to find ways of improving it. For example, are the members of marketing team situated together? How about finance department? Is it the same? As there are the ones to come and the ones to go, the desks are filled and left abandoned. That’s why the initial orders you make can be lost. Also, would their works be made easier if you remove the partitioned wall that separates them? Are they given enough tools and space (for example, large tables, memo boards, others) to get optimal communication and work efficiency?

3. Encourage familiarity
One of often-referred reasons why employees fail to raise their ideas is reservedness and insufficient familiarity. Give your team chances to get more acquainted through short chat, team lunch-out, holiday party, etc.

4. Leverage CRM (Customer Relationship Management)
CRM will help employees keep track of the company’s interaction with customers. It will help avoid inadequate connection among workers as related to customer services and the like. For example, after receiving an email from a customer, employee A forgot to respond. The customer was angry to call your company. Employee B received the call without being aware of the problem. Employee B asked the customer to be patient for him to gather information from employee A. The customer was angry, hung up the call and rejected working with the company.

5. Start a blog or newsletters for the company
If your labor size is large, this option specially works. Just create newsletters or a blog dedicated to updating the human resource changes, highlight different departments’ goals cum achievements, status inside and outside the working place. Engage your workers in blog and newsletter posting.

6. Develop clear and comprehensive employee guidelines
There should be such guidelines for newcomers to be more easily familiar with the company working styles and policies; goals, missions and operations of the whole company and the particular role.
Bear in mind that make a clear guideline; at the same time, it shouldn’t be stiff and too strict regulations that may pressure new hires and make their reserved communication. Added in the guideline should be the communication item that specifies the company encourages employee engagement communication for more understanding and productivity. Generally, such guidelines help employees share a common understanding.

7. Leverage mobile technology advantages
In the digital age, companies should make best use of benefits that such devices as smart-phones, tablets bring. When appropriate, offer mobile devices to your workers so that they can keep on communication however they are being far from each other. This communication option is specially effective if being applied to your remote workers or/ and freelancers.

8. Ask your workers to share their feedbacks and concerns
If you want to know how communication between your employees is, ask them. Figure their comfort level approaching others in the company. Ask whether they have an idea of who to contact if there arises a specific situation. Also, ask them for tips on how to enhance internal communication. This can be done through meetings for developing strategies of strengthened in-house communication, personal conversations. For honest responses, don’t forget to utilize a short questionnaire survey (with participants named anonymous). After gathering what you want to know, deal with them well so that your employees feel their voice is being heard and the workplace communication become smoother.

Like a traditional ritual: all of you wear your best clothes, show off in front of the judges and answer the questions, try to act smart and inoffensive. It's a beauty contest? No, I’m talking about a recruitment interview.

But apparently, it is not what it should be. The judges of a beauty contest may never see the contestant again, but a recruiter will have to work with their chosen candidates every day. So stop thinking the interview is a beauty competition, but acting like you are hanging out for a date. That’s right. What is the purpose of a date? Looking for the one who you will live with for the rest of your life. And the aim of an interview? You seek for the person you will spend 40-60 hours per week with. The question is how to have a better result and to find the better employees?

# 1. Asking (too) much about the past
https://vnmanpower.com/upload_images/images/Blog/3-outdated-customs-in-the-recruitment-process-should-be-changed-2.jpg

Of course, it’s reasonable if you want to know the work process of a candidate, which called CV. But somehow, you are wasting too much time for their past, instead of using it to find out which of their characteristics suits your company.

Let's imagine, you went on a date and said “3 last girls I’ve met really like me. Sometimes I still buy them flowers, have some dinners and listen to their problems. I’m a wonderful guy, you can ask them to confirm. So, Will you marry me?”. Maybe she would run away before the drink could be served.

The solution here, do not ask “Tell me your work process..”, but give them an issue to complete or ask them prepare a presentation in advance. Create the problems and see how they fix it can help you know which values a candidate could bring to your company.


# 2. Let the newcomer get along with others by themselves

After deciding to choose some potential people, there isn’t short of the circumstances when you left your new members with a totally stranger group. Boss says “This is Bob”, then disappears and expects other will like him as much as himself.

Just like you do not want to let your new boyfriend alone with your parent on the weekends, you have the responsibility to help them get along with other members, And even better if you could let your team attend to the recruitment stage. By that way, a high probability of finding an employee who can bring the benefits for the whole “family”.

# 3. Attract the people like you

You might think: An ideal employee is a person who loves your business just like you. Unluckily, this will not bring the best quality when you are only looking for your copy version. It is necessary for you to realize what you need is to find someone who has the advantages that you don’t have or compensates for your weakness, which completes a perfect picture to human resources within the company

Temporarily forget “vision”, “passion” or other theoretical lessons in a business school, which you cannot disagree but hard to remember or moreover, apply to the real life.

To be a good or great manager, a large part of the knowledge you need to know will not come from a school or conference. A professional recruiter from VMST has listed a few small advice with big impact to your management method.

1. The information is easy come, easy go, but self-esteem will last forever.

Facts and figures, charts, tables or results, ... are very useful in the interpretation of logic and reasons, but they will quickly be forgotten. In the other hand, if you make an employee feel stupid or lost the face in front of people, he will never let himself forget it.

One of my staffs opined in a meeting, and I, by instinct, countered sarcastically (because I think that’s funny). Everybody laughed, except him.

From that day, our relationship has completely changed. I apologized right after that and one time later, but it happened already.

=> Using as twice as your time you use for numbers and logic to think about your employees’ feeling. It is easy to fix a mistake in information or data, but to get over the injuries you make for their self-esteem, even by accident or on purpose, is almost impossible.

2. A simple presentation will not create a wonderful idea.

The presentation is an amazing method to share the detail and complicated information, but not for a creative idea.

After listening to a long presentation about Sig Sigma, I interrupted and said, “Let’s share your idea”. Some people would say “Well, uhm, we will discuss the data, their technical analysis and conclusion…” In addition, most of other did not really mind about and I cannot blame them.

=> The creative idea could only lie in some small sentences, and if your subordinate has anything, let them speak up. All you need to do is listening carefully and absorbing it.

3. Only listening to the number instead of human will lead to a negative result.

Once, I changed the workshift between 2 groups (about 30 employees) because I know it will help to improve productivity by 10%. I also know that most of them hate that (they told me). But I am an employer and I understand the great leaders are willing to make the tough decisions and do whatever it takes to achieve the goal.

However, it turned out I was totally wrong. Of course, the rotating shift works. But it has ruined the family life of some staffs. Finally, I had to change this stupid thinking and moving people to previous spot. We have found another way to improve productivity.

=> Do not ignore the negative issues, instead, be frankly and openly about the dark side, especially when it has a big efficiency to employees. Showing your empathy that you understand that the best and worst things could happen and how it change your teamwork. Sometimes, the decision will not be based in the analysis or reasoning because it was made by human being. If your employee opposes you, ask them, but not only to protect your idea. Ask to learn. You know things that they don’t and in reverse – only when you listen to their thought.

Nothing stings like truth. Maybe your company always sends you the message that for an employee, truth and honesty are everything. However, they are just telling lie.

While probity is entirely suitable for some situations, in others telling an unvarnished truth only harm your career indeed. You might think this is just nothing except sophism but we tell lies for many positive reasons like to spare others’ feelings or to lubricate social relationship, because of unspoken rules of behavior, some workplace etiquettes or they only ask you to expect a certain response, which just leads to a lie.

So, what are the questions at the workplace you should never answer honestly?

1. How are you?

It is nothing more than a random sentence. When they ask you, they just need a one-word answer, not your pathetic story about your life. So if you are fine, say so, if you are not, say you are fine. If you are at a very bad mood, say you are OK. People are not very interested anyway. Expressing your real emotion and you will be notorious for being a bore, a moaner or both.

Apply this on your life too. For most of the people who just an acquaintance asking how your weekend or something like that, they only try to be polite and they are not interested in how you end up with a dark circle under your eyes

2. What do you think about your colleague?

Backbite your peers is fraught with pitfalls, even they are good or bad. Think of their positions and performance at your workplace. If they are subordinate, it makes you look mean. If they are at a higher position, it makes you look bitter or enthusiasm. A reply without directly judging anyone sounds good, pick out his or her good points to say. Sometimes you may be asked straightly about their weakness or a bad performance but even here, there is much to be said in an ingenious way. Therefore, you might damn them with faint compliments or leave it blanks for others to fill in. Trying, “Well, you know, he certainly makes the sales...” allows everyone in the room to add or understand without you ever having to say it.

3. What do you think about me as a boss?

If you have a great boss, it’s easy, just be honest. But if he is totally not, I assume he won’t listen to anything you say anyway so the idea of giving them the honest answer will only get their back up. Instead, bring out some good points you can think of but don’t makeup. If in a sensitive situation, the truths should be couched in very careful way, like “Actually I have had something that I concerned about the meetings and was wondering if you had any advice” is much better than “I’m sick of the way you dominate every meeting or your employees and the way you assign the mission”.

To hide those white lies, VMST can tell you some tricks as follow:

To be not caught in the act of lying, you should be careful in these signs which are reveal your true face.

- Are your face giving it away: you may be able to spot a liar by their red cheeks since anxiety can cause people to blush. Other liar’s expression? Flared nostrils, lip nibbling, deep breathing, and rapid blinking, which hint that the brain is working overtime.

- Watch out for your body language: Liars often shove their hands behind their back because they are afraid of those fidgety digits might give them away.

- The way you smile: A real smile can see in people’s lips and eyes. Otherwise, a fake smile only stops in their lip.

- Which words you are using: In general, people who tell a lie have tendency to use fewer personal pronouns and exclusionary words like “but,” “nor,” “except,” and “whereas”

Thanks for your idea!
The first case may not be right with some kinds of staffs who support or develop their company.

In the fierce competition in the business world, no one is allowed to make a mistake. Each company needs to own a perfect team because only a scabby sheep is enough to spoil the whole flock.

Under the market pressure, as a manager, you cannot retain that kind of employees, even they used to a star in your company. Below are the typical cases:

1. Addicted to the social network.

With the popular of social media and modern means of communication, almost every staff has their own facebook page as well as Twitter, skype ID, etc, which makes a huge impact to the officer. Of course, the clearly benefit not only is the important role in the business but also improve the network relationship. However, for those who spend too much time for chatting or accessing facebook, they need to be in the “red list”.

2. Acting bossy.

The major features of these people are usually avoid working, hide the mission or always say “it’s not my job” if they are offered to help. However, this does not stop them from directing others, requiring people to follow their idea. “Words speak louder than action”, showing as they know everything is the most-hated type of people in the work environment. But you need to distinguish them with the real leaders.

3. The gossip group

This kind exists in all the companies. They love the idle tittle-tattle about the relationships, their peers. A half of their mind is to work, the other half is to pry what clothes this girl is wearing today, how that boy act. Those people totally could lose the spirit of solidarity within the company, so do not hesitate to dismiss them.


4. Underqualified for work

How much money do you waste each month to pay for your employees? No one ever wants to throw their money throughout the window to hire a useless person. Watch all staffs in the company, see the way they work and how efficient it is. If you find everything just lies in a low level or their bad attitude at work, let say goodbye to them.

5. Love complaining

Only complete the tasks at the medium standard, but never miss the complaint about the job or salary. Backbite their boss about what they have been commented is a special hobby.

6. “I promise”

Like polishing themselves, energetic in getting the job and always guaranteed the job done at the highest level whenever the boss is around, but in fact, sluggish, unwilling to work, delay the deadlines and work with the low performance are this kind of employees who should not stay in the company.

Above is only 6 in a hundred characteristics of the typical “should be dismissed” employees. Observe carefully, tight management, hold everything in your hand and especially a good employer need to be decisive in firing staffs

If you want to have a big opportunity to be promoted in your career, ignore these 5 mistakes which have been summarized by Vietnam manpower:

1. Cocky
The fastest way makes you fail at having an advance salary is cocky behavior.
Even if you are doing so well with your work, but just enough to what you are asked to do and no more, it is hard for you to compete with others colleagues. According to job specialists, an employee who just focuses on responsibility in job description is hardly success in career.

The managers is not highly estimate for those satisfying and only concentrating on finishing their job without willing to help others or taking part in common activities in company.

2. 180 degree turn
Changing is good but if you “jump” into a totally new industry, it will be a huge affection to your successful way. Cause it’s like a message that you still unsure about what you want or you are short of specialized knowledge, skills to go far in that field.

3. Not entrust your works.
You take all the responsible without distributing the mission to members of the group and you think there is no other could make it better than you?

Chuck Fried, Chairman and CEO of TXMQ, said that he hardly promote for a person who has believed he/she is the best and no one could replace. He also suggests the managers should hire the smart, talent people having abilities in easily taking over other mission.

4. Listless
When you are a new hired, you are full of energy and excitement. You are eager to do all assigned job. However, the time passed by, your disinterested in work gradually replaces for enthusiasm at first.

These staffs usually don’t care about company’s activities. They just only care about how to have a job and salary more than a career. Once you lose your passion, it is difficult to have a bright career.

5. Change your job constantly
It is accepted if you change your job for a better position, but to a certain limit, it is not that simple anymore. After every 2 years, you do another job for example, or 3 or 4 years for another field, seriously you look like a “homeless” person. Your loyalty and abilities will be doubt, because in this economy situation, most recruiters want a candidate who will attach to the company for a long time.
( SOURCE: http://vnmanpower.com/en/5-mistakes-kill-your-chances-of-promotion-bl65.html)

Maybe any recruiter will choose such a candidate.

1. Go for work earlier.

In the fact that, you lose nothing or suffer any disadvantages when going for work a bit earlier.
On the contrary, this helps you have more time to master your mission better in that day and get a favorable sigh from your own boss. Looking by an actual way, when you are the first to come your office, you will get an exciting feeling to start than you come lately about some minutes. And it is so bad if you are overdue over your ruled work time from 30 minutes or more. Instead of good appraises from colleagues and the boss, you will have negative points from them and a boring spirit to continue.

However, it is a common sad fact for employees in several different sectors and it is really surprised, Monday is the day most of us have blue feeling to begin a new work week slowly after leisure of last week. It often calls it the Monday blues.
Western people are usually punctual while Asian considers it as a normal affair. That is truth. Regarding this respect, it is same “working culture set up by crowd long ago”. Going for work lately shows an unprofessional working manner, or at least we see it is like a bad habit must give up to avoid affects to your career.

2. Go out of work lately.

“Late” but brings positive meanings in this situation. Certainly, nobody advises you to work slowly or stop your tasks in day later than other colleagues. Simply, after fulfilling all affairs in your day, you should spend a little time to overview, note attentive issues or you can help your team, other officers to solve their troubles. Don’t be hesitated, this will bring gifts for you in the most unexpected manner. Moreover, you also create friendly relationships with them. Have not referred to your productivity, you achieved certain impressions from everyone.
“Going early and leaving lately” are the two most simply ways to get the first success in your career path at some organization.

3. Only take what is yours.

It is clearly evident. But you may feel shock to read a study on Dailymail (a famous online page of England) with the tittle: “How 80% think it's OK to steal from work as study reveals our wavering moral compass”.
It means four out of five people think it is OK to pilfer something from work. Yes, is it shock?
So do you want to be one of them? Certainly, the answer is not. Sometimes, you think a wrench or a hummer is not much valuable, but keeping in your mind, it is not yours, it is stealing and you won’t become a thief.
Pilfering things from workplace often occurs in manufacturing zone, factories, malls...However, you must be honest in anywhere due to that is always good for your career.

4. Never backbite about your employer.

Speaking ill of other people is not good, not spare your employer. Normally, the relation between the employee and the employer is “on business”, meanings that they rarely love together when their benefit is damaged. Even the benefit is “satisfied”, they usually complaint about everything. That was just one of those common things.
For employees, do not mention who is true, who is false, they have a habit is to tell bad things about your boss in anywhere. But, the truth is that you are losing your own image in eyes’ other people.
Maybe you know about power of gossips, whispers. So, the best way to keep your career from failure is wisely silent. You need a determined cautiousness when you are talking about work, about individuals in a crowd.

5. Hard working.

That sounds like a superfluous advice. However the fact is that we are quite lazy. Have you ever chatted, played games, done private affairs in official time? Surely, you will say that “I relaxed a bit to continue work more effectively” or “some reasonable reasons”.
A source from ZDnet by a survey in America shows that “1 out of 4 staffs plays game when working, even in a meeting. But more surprising, this number is higher for employers. There is 1 of 3 persons playing game in their office”

The thing is fundamental over any other things to get success, that is to work laboriously.
Let see successful people, they often work very hard. About you? Stop being illusory now and start a day with working because of the success and lucky comes from your daily effort, not remote thought!

The employees usually think their employers as a difficult, unapproachable, strictly, unsympathetic person, but read the following confessions, you might find that your boss is actually more easy-going than you thought.

1. I do care whether you like me. As a matter of facts, the majority of your bosses want to know that their staffs like them or not. And, of course, they want you to like them as well as the company you are working for because it's their lifelong career.

2. I cannot know everything. I like the proactive person. When someone gives an opinion without being asked, that proactive attitude at work will create the large differences. In essence, I do not know everything, and if you, by any chance, incidentally help me to find out and fix the certain flaws in the work, I will be more impressed with you and will remember you for helping me.

3. I want to see my employees happy. You don’t have to whisper or pretend to work hard when I walk up. I know you can still work hard and simultaneously add some humor at work because I had had once just the same as you before I became serious about everything.

4. I want to pay a higher salary for you, but ....I cannot choose the market, business sector I want because of financial constraints or the potential risks. Imagine that tomorrow, our company will go out of business, you will lose the job and I will lose everything from money, investment, credit and even housing..., you will understand.

5. I want you to stick with the company forever. The progressive at work is understandable, but as a business owner I'm really not happy with the staff switching job. Perhaps the reason is you are not completely satisfied, but feel free to talk to me, I'm ready to listen. If you leave the company, I am not only very sad but also feel like a part of me has failed.

6. There are no miracles in business. I know all the orders in which you have to pour a lot of efforts in exchange for nothing. This result makes you frustrated and falls behind. But I want to tell you do not worry. Sometimes, the important and big contracts will take more time to have the highest profit.

7. I want you to work comfortably. You hate to be noticed and fortunately so do I. But in the work environment still has its principles. I would leave you free to make the ideas and concentrate on your work. If you feel I'm aware you, do not hesitate to tell me "I’m afraid that you don’t think I can undertake this project well. I understand, so I'm proving that you can fully trust in me".

8. I notice when someone was not conscious. I'm not blind. But I will not punish that employee in front of you. Whether how bad they expressed, nobody wants to lose their privacy and self-esteem. Sometimes I would not punish all of them because there were many things going on than you’ve known and you will not recognize.

9. There are many things I cannot tell you. Although I would like you and even if we were friends.

10. Owning a business or management positions sometimes feels like all the burdens on my shoulders. I'm worried about sales, costs, facilities, staffs, suppliers, and customers, etc. So maybe I'm occasionally cranky, distracted. There is a certain time, stress and bad tempers knock me down. That is not your fault. Overall, I was afraid you lost faith in me.
More than anything, I worry I couldn’t complete the trust you put in me - a business owner.

Have you ever dared to give up a tired job to chase on your passion? About 75% of people are not brave enough to leave a job with a high salary although they know that it’s turning their life as “an engine”.

A survey conducted by manpower consulting experts for people within ages 25-55 shows that regretful things in career do not depend on sectors or fields. From the employer of construction sector, rich businessmen to photographers or doctors, foreman...all of them have quite same disappointment.

1. I wish not to work for money.

This is the biggest regret of those who choose job with only aim is to earn money but at last, they feel bored about that. The employer of a named bank laments “I dreamed I could get rid of my job each day, leave stress behind but I have too many commitments”. Calling it as “a golden handcuff” is not only a joke.

2. I wish to start my dream earlier.

This is remorse from people who dared to leave present work to pursue their favorite jobs. Many of us felt fare and worried when to think about that. However, it means as a rope tying up us for boring long years later.

A photographer said that: “Lost time to do dislike jobs will never come back and you never take back it”

3. I wish to spend much useful time at school.

When studying at school, most of us do not spend time on studying about living lessons, real experience about discovered subjects or studied majors. Instead of that, you have much time for gathering friends, fellows, or entertainments…Later, when you get married, have a job…and many things take your time and the life becomes busier…you may desire to turn back the school to get deeper researches for resetting your career.

4. I wish to decide my career by my feeling.

Premonition or afflatus is unable to guess, but it can be the reason to change your career path. Occasionally, if you venture to make a decision, you will get a greater success. That is better than you rest on your laurels and make up your mind to suffer the current tedious working.

After all, hoping that anyone of us are judicious enough to make wise decisions to choose the right job for a more comfortable life.

You can easily catch up the article, advice to ignore the errors in your career path. However, it is just only the theoretical story from someone else. Learning from your own reality always brings a great value to pin it into your head and never do that again.
Here are 3 mistakes you are allowed to make in your work duration, but, remember doing it only one time.
1. Promise too much and can’t do it.
If you are a newbie in your office, possibility you want to create a good impression with your boss, customers or your peers so much that you can cost anything to prove.
To get an important contract, you probably will exaggerate about company services or commodities. If your company is a big and famous one, this seems unnecessary. But for a new entrepreneur, it turns to be an error which cost you the good customers and your reputation. Had better based on the fact of what you can offer, whether they are your clients, employer or your coworkers. Then the risk is only how to control the implementation and complete exactly or even better than what you have promised and do not disappoint the people you have committed.
2. Participate in an interview without preparation.
Do not think any interview is only “meeting and say hello” type. It is your chance to sell yourself, emphasize your skills and personality. Practice at home the most common questions and answer according to the way as a candidate they are looking for. Imagine when the recruiters ask you “What makes you think you are eligible for this position?” or “Give us a criticism for the latest project of the company”, and all you can do is stare back at them, find your tongue and make it works. If you do not do any research about the position, the company you want to apply, how you could have any idea to answer. It’s not only embarrassed but also the fastest way to push you out of an interview by showing your ill-prepared.
3. Reject an opportunity because of the fear
Have you ever been tempted to refuse an expansion project or a chance because you're swamped with work and could not afford anything else? But if you dig a little deeper in your plan, you’ll see you are actually pushing them away because you doubt of your ability and are afraid to fail. Maybe now you are comfortable with the current position and not sure to success in a new role. In general, feel like you attend to a gamble, the place you are standing is safer.
If you’ve ever made that mistake, next time make sure that you can estimate the role, project or opportunity to decide whether it really does not suit you or your career goals. You certainly never have to regret to slip it away because you will realize the risks always have a worthy reward.
Have you taken these mistakes in your career? wish you have a good position in your career path!

1. Teach Skills Not Traits
Don’t pay attention to change types of individual personality, let coach and tutor skills that can be taught and learned.
For instance, you work as a field engineer to be responsible for going on customer calls. If he is a reserved person (a trait), don’t attempt to force him to be more extroverted to help you sell.As an alternative, train him how to listen actively (a skill) and how to use terminology customers will understand (a skill)

2. Teach the Appropriate Skill
Need to forcus on teaching skills you ensure that it generates obvious results in range of job’s content.
For example, if a group of salesman consists of hunters (who find new business) and farmers (who develop existing accounts), it's wasteful to train everybody on the team on cold-calling techniques. Limit such training to the hunters and provide training in other skills (like account management) to the farmers.

3. Enhance and Support the Skill
Provide several chances to test on how workers are carrying out those skill and give guidelines as necessary.
Studying a new skill entails turning it into a custom.Unfortunately, doing so usually involves overcoming existing habits, which is inherently difficult. Coaching allows you gradually reinforce the ability and overcome the habits it replaces.

4. Carry out skill-based metrics
Maybe you heard “what gets measured gets done” in business. So if you really want your staffs to make a skill into their daily practice, you have to measure the results of the application of those skills
For example, if you're supplying training on some respects of your sales process, you should evaluate the conversion rate at that stage of the sales process, rather than just measuring the total revenue that's noted at the end of the quarter.

5. Consistently Measure Progress – systematically measure progress
When you complete all of the above, you have responsibility to check the data improve as the new ability becomes second nature. If you don’t have the desirable improvement, there’s something wrong. Either you've been teaching the incorrect skill or not supplying enough supplement and training.
Let share your experience or lessons on business for everyone here

It's is the common idiom as most of us may know its meaning can be explained as that "An employer who pays low wages will have bad staff''
So do you like or agree with this English idiom if you become a boss?

Visual evaluation – human psychology tends to make assumptions about attraction, personality and everything about a person in a few seconds in the first meeting –happens frequently.

A research in Canada in 2011, the college students are showed some pictures about a group of men wearing professional and a group in simple style and then predict their future. The result expresses a clearly difference, in which the dandy are not only guessed making a lot of money but also having more promotion chances.

Another research also indicates the gender discrimination when women in masculine clothing style – elegant, dark – are high evaluated and worthy to hire than women in feminist customs.

Prove that you really care about your look

Negligence seems like you are not respect your colleagues and yourself. You definitely make customers annoy when show up with a dirty tide, nail or anything make you messy. There are two degrees of looking better. The first is to just get yourself looking half-decent and eliminate any blatant appearance-related mistakes. The second level would be to put the effort into becoming more fashionable than average. There are a lot of benefits to doing this, but it takes more work. You have to learn about clothes and style, devote time to shopping, and possibly spend more money.

Clothing does not match in every situation

In every circumstance or place, wearing different style but still being suitable.

Have you ever met a surprise situation out of your expected in the recruitment process? And what did you do? There are so many situations called “the traps” have been used to “check” candidates. If you fall in it and know how to emerge by quickly, clever responds, you will win but if you act embarrassed, you definitely fail in the first round.
Let’s see what kind of traps recruiters usually use

1. Give a vague question
As you also know, in any interview, you have to think of 2 things: first, answer their questions, second, how to give a short, clear answer but still emphasize your strengths. However, it is not easy like it seems. A professional recruiter often asks the ramble, non-specific, innocuous questions which unrelated to the position, job with the purpose to observe the abilities to solve problems of candidates. In that situations, you should turn the question to a specific issue: “Sir, if you agree, I’d like to talk a little about..”. and start your story.

2. How about having a break?
It is a popular trap in an interview. There are a lot of candidates cannot escape from this dangerous trap. For example, an interviewer asked you a question, and you completed it. All of a sudden, he just stares at you like he wants to hear you continue talking. Some candidates have been really lost their temple and they tried to talk something to end their answer. In reality, these kinds of responds will gain a low score. For the best, you just need to sit, confident look at them back and wait for another question.

3. Do you have any secret?
A professional interviewer has so much experience in how to create an open, warm environment when they talk to the interviewee. Be careful for that! They are trying to evoke your secrets that you think you will never give away. There were some unfortunate cases happened: A beautiful girl applied for secretary position in a company. In the interview, they sound wanted to hire her. But in the intimate subjects, when asked about relationship with the old colleagues, she said that the reason she quit the job because everybody was jealous with her appearance and she wanted to find a new place with fewer women. After considering, they decided to hire another who was less pretty but a humble and progressive person. So, in the interview, control yourself, do not say redundant things and be confident in every situation.

4. Oh I’d love to listen to you.
This is the trap for talkative candidates. After giving a question, he or she will pretend to hear you say, sometimes adding “oh really”, “wow”, “interesting” and write something. If you suffer it and constantly talking without the ending, you be regarded as a person hard to build to yourself a specific process, standard working plan. So it is the best you should answer the question fast and clear in a couple minutes. If they ask for detail, you can talk a little more but definitely cannot beat around the bush.

5. Provoke me?
In some cases, you are answering very good and excited about your job before, suddenly they interrupt and say:” Sorry, but I have a feeling that you are alcoholic, have you ever drink in the workplace?” Then what will you answer? Do not be mad and feel offense with it, if you do not drink, just straightly show your point of view. And if you do drink, you could say when and where you drink. Do not be lengthy about this thing and use your chance when they still do not find any other trap to escape by a clever question “As I see, you care about my previous job, and maybe I am unfinished my story, can I continue?” In fact, few people want to go back to these controversial issues. It also shows that you was smart and quickly escape it.

The big expected

The good staff usually wants to work with another good staff. So if an employee no longer keeps his enthusiasm with customers, let have a frankly talk to ignore spreading of that attitude to others.
