How to Cope With a Toxic Workplace Culture

How to Cope With a Toxic Workplace CultureHow to Cope With a Toxic Workplace CultureWorking in a toxic environment feels stressful, confusing and insurmountable. Toxicity takes root when ineffective leaders perpetuate dysfunction and elevate levels of anxiety, tension and fear. For toxicity to flourish, there has to be a failure in leadership. Achieving success in a toxic environment is not intuitive because the fixed points on the cultural compass are site-specific rather than universal. To thrive in the environment, one often has to do things that wouldnt yield success in a normal, healthy culture such as cater to the whims of an emotionally chaotic leader, lie, throw a colleague under the bus, etc. A pervasive sense of distrust coupled with inconsistent performance measures and a perpetual stream of turnover also characterize toxicity. Fear, disrespect or belittling are used as motivational tools. There is often a general feeling of chaos and despair as well as a sense that some e mployees are insiders while others are outsiders.How to cope If you find yourself in a toxic culture, step one is to try and garner emotional clarity. Examine the situation and recognize it for what it is a climate where no one can be healthy or successful. This is not your fault. If you are in a management role, and you have the clout to clean house, you may be able to disinfect the culture. But if you are not management-level, and the toxicity interferes with your role, it may be in your best interest to cut your losses and look for a new job.Do a mental shift In a toxic culture, no one really gets to nail it with their professional efforts because the leadership is eroded. In this environment you have to simply figure out how to survive, keeping yourself intact as much as possible until you can escape. This is a test of your emotional endurance, and you get the opportunity to learn and demonstrate who you are under these chaotic circumstances. Keep in mind that your colleagues ar e also feeling the toxicity and they will notice and remember the character you demonstrate. Exhibiting poise in a toxic situation is particularly impressive both to those perpetuating the toxicity and to others, like you, who are simply the victims of it. Dont let the toxicity infect you by making you view yourself negatively. Different jobs teach you different things about your professional self and yourself as a person. Working in a toxic culture teaches you how to hold tightly to your sense of who you are despite working in a climate that may try to make you feel badly about yourself. Dont chose for it. Keep your coolDo your best to stay in control of your emotions. Toxicity feeds on negativity, so dont play that game. When your colleagues see you projecting a more positive attitude, they will be drawn to that. Your positivity will be a breath of fresh air, and it will win you support. That will help you more than any expression of negative emotion would, so try to make positivi ty your aim. Walk awayCome up with a good exit plan and prepare walk into your next gig as a cool survivor- like the one who gets away at the end of a horror movie. You may not leave with the experience you had hoped for, but you will move on with knowing that you have an unshakable sense of self and an uncompromising commitment to standing your ground. That has a value all its own.

Aerial Robot Mimics Bat in Flight

Aerial Robot Mimics Bat in Flight Aerial Robot Mimics Bat in Flight Aerial Robot Mimics Bat in FlightAerial robotics engineers have long been fascinated with how bats fly, especially the technological challenges that exist in recreating their high-precision flight patterns and complex wing motions. Whenever I see bats make sharp turns and perform upside-down perching with such elegant wing movements and deformations, I become mesmerized, says Soon-Jo Chung, associate professor of aerospace at the California Institute of Technology and a Jet Propulsion Laboratory research scientist. Bat flight is the holy grail of aerial robotics.Thats because it is so difficult for roboticists to copy the complex flight patterns of a bat. Robotic birds and insects arerelatively easyto create but, with over 40 joints in their wings, bats are a far greater engineering challenge.Undaunted, Chung and his research team postdoctoral associate Alireza Ramezani from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) and Seth Hutchinson, professor of electrical and computer engineering at the UIUC, set out to reverse-engineer this mammals unrivaled agility in flight. Their goal? To build a safe, energy-efficient soft-winged robot that flies like a bat. We also wanted to challenge the status quo of drones that predominantly use high-speed rotor blades, which are quite noisy and dangerous, adds Chung.The result was the creation and successful flight of Bat Bot, a self-contained robotic bat with flapping, soft, articulated wings that weighs about 93 grams and has a one-foot wingspan (about the size of an Egyptian fruit bat). Driven by a small onboard computer and a series of sensors that allow it to fly autonomously, Bat Bot can alter its wing shape by flexing, extending, and twisting at its shoulders, elbows, wrists, and legs.Prof. Soon-Jo Chung holds the Bat Bot. Image CaltechHow It WorksLike a real bat, Bat Bot can move each wing independently and constantly change each wings shape to pe rform complex maneuvers that would be impossible otherwise. The biggest challenge for Chungs team was recreating the sophisticated and complex flight mechanism of a bat. Bats rely on several different types of joints that interlock the bones and muscles to one another, creating a musculoskeletal system that is capable of movement in more than 40 rotational directions.First, the dominant degrees of freedom (DOFs) in the bat flight mechanism were identified and incorporated into Bat Bots design by means of a series of mechanical constraints. These biologically meaningful DOFs included independent left and right wing folding motions and dorsoventral movements of the left and right leg wings, such as retraction-protraction of the shoulders, flexion-extension of the elbows, abduction-adduction of the wrists, and dorsoventral movement of the legs.It was impractical to incorporate all the active and passive joints of a bat into our design, says Ramezani.Instead of using a large number of d istributed control actuators, We implemented highly stretchable silicone-based membrane wings that are controlled at a reduced number of dominant wing joints to best match the morphological characteristics of bat flight, says Chung.The robot frame was built from carbon-fiber bones and 3D-printed socket joints. Wing structures were covered with an ultrathin (56 micrometers), elastic, membranous skin. Conventional lightweight fabrics, like nylon and Mylar, did not stretch enough and restricted the forelimb and leg movements. The skeleton array and membrane skin enable the robot to morph its articulated structure in mid-air without losing an effective and smooth aerodynamic surface.Winged PotentialChungs team has successfully designed and built a flying robot with an articulated wing structure and a silicon-based skin that mimics bat-like flight abilities.Our work has demonstrated several autonomous flight maneuvers zero-path flight, banking turn, diving of a self-contained robotic pla tform that has fundamentally distinguished control arrays in comparison to existing flapping robots, states Chung. Bat Bot can morph its articulated structure in midair without losing an effective and smooth aerodynamic surface.We have demonstrated one of the fruchtwein advanced designs to date of a self-contained flapping-winged aerial robot with bat morphology that is able to perform autonomous flight, adds Ramezani.The flapping motion also conserves battery power, making Bat Bot quieter and more efficient than its fixed-wing or quadcopter counterparts. With its soft, flappable wings, it could also be a safer alternative to drones aloft with spinning blades, especially in proximity to people, or tight restricted spaces.When equipped with a radiation detector, 3D camera system, and temperature and humidity sensors, Bat Bot could inspect something like the Fukushima nuclear reactors, where the radiation level is too high for humans, or fly into tight crawlspaces such as mines or col lapsed buildings, says Hutchinson. Such highly maneuverable aerial robots, with longer flight endurance and range than quadrotors have, will make revolutionary advances in monitoring and recovery of critical infrastructures such as nuclear reactors, power grids, bridges, and borders.Another application could be monitoring construction projects, where things rarely happen the way they are intended to happen, continues Hutchinson. Keeping track of whether the building is being put together the right way at the right time is not trivial. Bat Bots could fly around, pay attention, and compare the building information model to the actual building thats being constructed.Chung is currently working on how to make bat-inspired aerial robots that can actually perch on unique structures, such as steel frames, side walls, and ceiling frames, instead of relying on hovering drones. This is a more energy-efficient and reliable solution, since stationary hovering is difficult for quadrotors in the presence of even mild wind, Chung says. Furthermore, perching or landing conventional aircraft and quadrotors in such unusual places is nearly impossible, due to their limited control authority at slow motor speeds and aerodynamic couplings such as wall or ground effects.Mark Crawford is an independent writer. For Further Discussion We have demonstrated one of the most advanced designs to date of a self-contained flapping-winged aerial robot with bat morphology that is able to perform autonomous flight.Prof. Soon-Jo Chung, California Institute of Technology

10 Interview Mistakes Executive Job Seekers Make

10 Interview Mistakes Executive Job Seekers Make10 Interview Mistakes Executive Job Seekers MakeSo, you are tired of your job, want to make mora money, or maybe you desire to relocate. Whatever your reason, its time to find a new job. After submitting application after application and cover letter after cover letter, you have finally received an invitation to interview. The worst thing you can do is commit one of the common interview mistakes that executive job seekers make. The good nachrichtensendung is, if you are reading this before your first interview, its elend too late.1. Poor appearanceIts sad to say that this interview mistake is even on the list. You would think at the executive level people would know how to dress for an interview. But sadly, thats not always the case.Sometimes, senior-level professionals feel a sense of entitlement because they have been in the industry so long. Despite what you might think, conservative geschftliches miteinander attire is the safest way to dress. I dont care if the company has a casual dress code. Interviews are considered formal events unique from day to day dress code.You can feel free to dress casual once you are hired.2. Interview vs. InterrogationThere is a big difference between an interview and an interrogation. An interrogation is when one individual asks all the questions while the other gives all the answers. This is not how your interview should be conducted.An interview is a professional business conversation meaning it is a two-way street. It is your responsibility to screen this lokalitt and make aya it is a good fit for you, just like your interviewer will be making sure you are a good fit for the position.Not only is asking questions useful for choosing a quality company, but it shows the interviewer that you have standards and are not desperate.3. Lack of preparationLack of preparation is a huge interview mistake that executive job seekers cannot afford to make.As an executive, it is your responsi bility to show strategic management skills, thought leadership, and a brain that goes above and beyond the average person. Lack of interview preparation displays none of those traits listed above.It is absolutely crucial to take some time to learn about the company you are interviewing with, the person interviewing you, and the position you are interviewing for.Research the companyAt the very least, you should be going to the company website and Glassdoor. The company website should feature pages such as about us and services where you can learn more about the company and the product/service that they offer. Find out what they do, what their mission is, how they are organized, where are they located, if they have subsidiaries, etc.In addition to the website, Glassdoor is a great resource for you to read company reviews from current and past employees. Reading positive reviews about the company culture, management style, and environment is extremely useful for showing a keen interest in the company you are interviewing with. If you want to increase your chances even more, check out company videos on YouTube, read the latest company news, and visit sites such as CrunchBase which allow you to view recent funding, read about the founders, and so much more.Research the interviewerAnother absolute necessity (when possible) is researching who you will be interviewing with. If you have an interview scheduled, more often than not they will say who you are interviewing with. Look that person up on LinkedIn, send them an invite to connect, and find some common connections on their LinkedIn page. Maybe they have posted an article lately that shows you their interests, or maybe they graduated from the same college as you. Whatever it is, creating a connection with your interviewer is sure to help you become the most memorable candidate.Research the positionResearching the position is possibly the most important research that you will be doing. A huge interview mistake is t hinking that all interviews will be the same. This is almost never the case. You can guarantee that every single skill/responsibility on the original job posting will be mentioned in the interview. Before the interview, you have the opportunity to read over the job description and come up with your pitch.Go through each responsibility and answer to yourself when/where/how you did each of the tasks. If the job posting says Manage a team of 16 engineers by creating schedules, reports, and conducting weekly team meetings you better make sure you have an example where you have done something similar.If you have never done something on the job description, compare it to a similar task you have done in the past that would involve similar skills.4. Over-enthusiasmBeing too enthusiastic, surprisingly, is a huge interview mistake. The same can be said for someone who is not enthusiastic enough. So, how do you find that happy middle ground?It is a fact that if you express and exhibit enthusia sm for the work you do and the company you are interviewing with, you are much more likely to receive an offer. A hiring manager can quickly pass on a candidate simply because they felt they would not be happy in the position. Maybe you were just trying to play it cool and not seem too eager, but that can be a killer. The hiring manager should feel confident when you leave the interview that you are either interested in moving forward and joining the team, or, you arent. Dont play hard to get this isnt high school dating.On the other end, over-enthusiasm is an equally harmful interview mistake. Are you over enthusiastic because this is the first interview you have had in years and you are struggling to land a job? Are you over enthusiastic because they are paying you more than you deserve? Although those might not be the reasons, there is no way for the hiring manager to know that. Dont come off as desperate, but dont play hard to get either. If you are interested in moving forward, just say that you think your skills align well with the position, company, and culture, and you are interested in moving forward in the process and being a part of the team.5. NegativityWhile it is important to ask questions about your future boss in the interview, it is also important to do it in a professional way. Do not mention how horrible your previous boss welches when asking questions about your future boss. Negativity is never the answer, and it is a real buzz kill for the interviewer. Its very likely that your last boss or company was a handful of bad words, but nobody wants to work with a complainer. To make this simple, dont spread an ounce of negativity no matter what6. Too much informationI cant tell you how many interview mistakes I have witnessed where the person interviewing babbled on and on about their past experiences. Talking about your experience is fine if its relevant to the new job. Think about what you are saying before you say it. Are you talking about sk ills and experiences that you feel are exciting but arent relevant to the new job?If so, KISS. Keep It Simple, Stupid. I can promise you that if the interviewer wants more information on a certain topic, experience, or skill, he or she will ask for it. Its better to be short and to the point than to talk too much and say something that can be used against you.A great tactic is answering their question in a 30 second or shorter answer, and following up by asking an educated question on the topic.Employer Do you have management skills?Job seeker Yes, I have over 15 years of experience managing large teams, small teams, remote teams, and in-office teams. What kind of management style is XYZ Company looking for?7. Bad questionsAs you have probably heard a million times, no questions = bad questions. It is important to ask questions throughout the interview (dont just wait until the end). Again, the interview should be conversational. You should be asking questions almost as frequent as the interviewer is asking questions. However, its important not just to ask questions for the sake of asking questions. Your questions should be well thought out, in context, and something that you couldnt find out in a 30-second Google search before the interview.Dont ask about vacations, paid time off, promotions, raises, benefits, etc. At least dont ask these questions in the first interview. These questions indicate that you are only interested in personal benefits, rather than the actual job.Do ask questions that came up during the interview, or during your pre-interview research. If the interviewer tells you that they are looking for someone to lead their remote team in the Philippines, you may ask how many team members the team consists of, what software is being used to communicate with them, and what the time difference would be. You can also ask questions like, what is an average day like? What happened to the previous person in this position, etc.? Or, personal questions like, Can you tell me about your career and what led you to XYZ Company.These are all reasonable and appropriate questions which show an understanding and interest in the job you will be performing and the people you will be working with.8. You did not WOW themWowing your interviewer comes down to the little things you do. It could be as simple as having a relaxed conversation that leads to a chuckle or preparing a brag book with your past successes. Interviewers are looking for a certain skill set, but they are also looking for a great culture fit.You have probably heard this 100+ times, yet you have never actually done anything about it. If you go into an interview like a stiff, you probably arent going to get the job. Nobody wants to work with a stiff. Everybody wants to work with someone they could enjoy grabbing a beer with after work. Hiring decisions are hugely made based on the flow of the interview. Dont be stiff, be a cool cat.Now, while it is possible to Wow your intervie wer in a negative way, we want to avoid this. You would be surprised the number of times I have been Wowed in a negative way. If someone asks you a question like, What is your favorite book and why? and your answer is, I dont really like to read, then congratulations, you just Wowed the heck out of me. Go above and beyond the average persons answer. If your favorite book is Tom Sawyer, dont just say it. Explain why. Explain how you have always been adventurous, love to travel, etc.9. Not asking for the closeIf you have been in a sales role before, you probably know what this means. Asking for the close is when you conclude an interview by asking for next steps, red flags, etc. Yes, it is perfectly OK for you to flat out ask your interviewer what they thought about you.After learning a little bit about me, my background, and experiences, do you see any reason why I would not be a good fit for this position?It was great speaking with you today and learning more about this position. I think my skills are a great fit for what you are looking for and I believe in what your company is doing. What are the next steps that I should expect in the interview process?It is important that you not only ask for next steps but reiterate that you are interested in the position and are a great fit.10. No follow-upThis is a new one for me, but I have recently become a strong believer in it. Following up after an interview is an essential step that helps set you apart. Again, it is the little things when combined that will make you stick out from the rest. Not sending a follow-up is a huge interview mistake, especially for executives.I used to think this is something you sent a day or two later I was wrong. You are going to want to send this follow-up/thank you schmelzglas as soon as you get home from the interview. Do not put this off it is non-negotiable. If more than one person interviewed you, make sure to make separate (do not use the same content) emails.This includes the ex ternal recruiter that connected you to the opportunity in the first place.

Marine Corps Combat Fitness Test

Marine korporation Combat Fitness TestMarine Corps Combat Fitness TestRegardless of age, rank or MOS (military occupational specialty), Marines must keep themselves fit and ready to perform their mission. If you want to become a member of the United States Marine Corps, you will need to be able to master several fitness tests. For instance, in order to join the Marine Corps, you will first take the Initial Strength Test (IST) as a recruit before boot camp which is a test consisting of pull-ups, crunches, and a 1.5 mile timed run. Annual Physical Fitness Tests in the Marine Corps Every year, Marines have to take two physical fitness tests the USMC PFT (pull-ups, crunches, three-mile run) and the Combat Fitness Test (CFT) which is broken down into three categories of testing An 880 yard run in boots and pants, ammo can lifts, and a maneuver under fire. This job-related test is designed to simulate many of the tasks that a Marine in a combat zone should be able to perform. Along wit h USMC obstacle courses, the combat fitness test is considered a functional training and testing program. Marine Corps Physical Fitness Test Requirements All Marines have to perform a predetermined number of pull-ups, push-ups, crunches, and a three-mile run. The specific numbers and times depend on the Marines age. Marine Corps Body Fat Standards Like other branches of the U.S. military, the Marines factor not just weight but body fat percentage when assessing physical fitness. The numbers are based onheight and age, and measurements of neck and waist circumference. Marine Corps Combat Fitness Test The CFT consists of three events an 880-yard run, ammo can lifts, and maneuver under fire 880-yard runRun for 880 yards while wearing boots and camouflage uniform (pants and t-shirt). Ammo can lifts Lift a 30-pound ammo can from the ground, over their heads as many times as they can in two minutes. Maneuver under fireMove through a 300-yard course, and perform designated task s, in the time limit authorized. The tasks include Move in a quick scurry for 10 yards, then a high crawl for another 15 yards.Draga casualty for 10 yards, while zigzagging through several cones. Then lift the casualty and carry him/her at a run for 65 yards. (drag and fireman carry)Carry two 30-pound ammo cans for 75 yards, while zigzagging through a series of cones.Toss a dummy grenade 22 1/2 yards and land it in a marked target circle.Perform five push-ups, pick up the two 30-pound cans and sprint to the finish line.

Its Spring Cleaning Time for Your Resume

Its Spring Cleaning Time for Your ResumeIts Spring Cleaning Time for Your ResumeIts Spring Cleaning Time for Your ResumeSpring has arrived And with it comes a list of things many of us havent been able or willing to do over the winter, such as go outside for a run, play catch on the lawn, or clean the garage.Its also a good time to spruce up your resume. If youre looking for a new job, youll be glad to know the latest statistics point to an improving job marketbut the competition is still fierce. So rather than cleaning the garage or lacing up your running shoes, why not improve your chances at landing that new job by giving your resume a good spring cleaning? Take a good, hard look at your resume and ask yourself these five questionsDoes your resume communicate your value? Does everything in your resumethe professional summary, your experience, and your skillsadequately communicate what you can do for the employer? Does it all paint a compelling, cohesive portrait of you? Does it se nd the message Hire me because Im that good rather than Im average hire me if you want.?Is your experience up to date? If youve added an extra duty or two, such as to cover for someone who had been laid off, add them to your most recent job listing in the experience section, especially if they can improve your chances at landing a particular position.Do you emphasize accomplishments? What differences have you made in your current and previous roles? How did you help your employers make money? Save money? Improve a product, service, or work process? Those are the things that must jump out at the reader, since employers look for someone who can deliver results.Is it pleasing to the eye? Show your resume to someone whose opinion you trust and whom you wont cop an attitude with or write out of your will if they disagree with you. Does your resume give them a positive impression at first glance?Everything spelled and punctuated correctly? After youve done all your updating, read over you r resume once mora. Then read it again. And again. And maybe even once more for good measure. Review every word for spelling and usage, and make sure everything is punctuated correctly and consistently. For example, if the name of one former employer is followed by a comma, make sure the names of all employers are followed by commas. If you dont trust your judgment here, find the most persnickety grammar and spelling geek you can find to review it for you.Go ahead and edit your resumenow Then, treat yourself to a nice run around the neighborhood, or a date with all that junk in your garage.

Why Giving Could Help You Get Ahead at Work

Why Giving Could Help You Get Ahead at Work Why Giving Could Help You Get Ahead at Work This article is from our friends at  LearnVest, a leading site for personal finance.When it comes to getting ahead at the office, you’ve probably heard the adage, “Nice guys finish last.”But Adam Grant, a Wharton professor and a researcher with a PhD in organizational psychology, says that workers who only look out for themselves are playing a short game.Instead it’s those who lend a helping hand- even when they have nothing to gain- who can see long-term benefits, long after the favor has passed.In his book Give and Take: A Revolutionary Approach to Success, Grant turns the typical ideas of the best way to climb the career ladder on their head, by showing how “givers” prosper.He shared with us the key differences between givers and takers- and how to be a smart giver, instead of a garden-variety pushover.The Difference Between Givers and TakersDrawing upon decades of social science research and his own studies, Grant divides workers into three categories: takers, matcher s, and givers.It’s pretty easy to identify who the takers are in any given situation. The person who takes all the credit for a group project? He’s a taker. And the person who stopped answering your emails once you did her a favor? Ditto.More specifically, Grant describes takers in his book as believing, “the world is a competitive, dog-eat-dog place. They feel that to succeed, they need to be better than others. To prove their competence, they self-promote and make sure they get plenty of credit for their efforts.” Takers can be territorial and pushy, and often feel like they need to get the upper hand or the best deal in every situation.The second group, known as matchers, look out for their own interests as well but are also willing to lend a helping hand- as long as they know it will be repaid. For matchers, everything has to be squared away when it comes to doing favors, and they always know the score. The majority of workers fall into this category.The third category, givers, help others without thinking of repayment, or whether they already owe the person a favor. They don’t necessarily have to be the people who donate all of their worldly possessions to charity- or even those who volunteer weekly at the local soup kitchen. Instead, they’ll cover shift hours, finish a presentation, or take notes at a meeting for a colleague. Simply put, Grant says givers act in the interest of others, “by giving help, providing mentoring, sharing credit, or making connections for others.”When Giving Goes WrongIn the workplace, the problem with being a giver comes in when your desire to be generous to others gets in the way of your own success. Or as Grant succinctly puts it, “Givers tend to be  the best performers- and the worst.”For instance, out of 160 engineers he studied in California, those who were consistently said to have given more help than they received performed at the bottom of the pack. “Going out of their way to help others prevented them from getting their own work done,” he writes. However, the  most  productive engineers also gave more than they got.And in a similar study of salespeople in North Carolina, the average giver had two and a half times less annual sales revenue than takers or matchers. However, Grant writes, “the top performers were givers, and they averaged 50% more annual revenue than the takers and matchers.”So, what’s the difference between being a giver who wins, and one who loses?5 Tips to Be an Intelligent GiverIf you want to take advantage of the benefits of giving in the office- but don’t want to be sucked in to doing your co-workers’ grunt work- it’s important to give intelligently. “Giving can be risky and self-sacrificing, but it can also be a powerful way to build relationships,” says Grant. Here, he shares his five tips for being a smart giver.1. Follow the Five-Minute RuleMuch of Grant’s book focuses on one successful entrepreneur, Adam Rifkin, who co-founded a software startup that raised more than $50 million in funding. In addition to his startup success, Rifkin was also named Fortune’s best networker in 2011, which Grant attributes to his classic “giver” personality.Grant says Rifkin’s giving style can be summed up by one simple rule: “You should be willing to do something that will take you five minutes or less for anybody.” While this time limit obviously needn’t be set in stone, it sets a good standard for a favor that could do a lot of good for someone else, but won’t distract you from your own aims.Takers and matchers tend to snub connections with those they perceive to not be as useful, but this strategy can backfire down the road, when the intern they snubbed back in the day may wind up as a hotshot startup CEO only a few years later.Think about the email requests that pile up in your inbox that never seem a priority. What would happen if you sat down one day and took a few minutes to respond to each and every on e? Chances are, it wouldn’t take a full day- and that sort of giving could end up helping you down the line.2. Focus on Adding High Value“People think about giving as acting like Mother Teresa or Gandhi, but many successful givers look for other ways to add high value,” says Grant. By this, he means that there’s not one way to be a successful giver- and it often doesn’t look like the traditional act of charity. Instead, many of the most productive givers focus their energies on helping in the ways that they’re best at, rather than stretching themselves too thin by doing good in every way possible.For instance, in his book, Grant says Rifkin’s far-spanning network allowed him to connect other aspiring entrepreneurs with those who might be able to give valuable advice. So for Rifkin, the most valuable giving occurred when he fostered these types of educational connections for others. In fact, he later decided to formalize his favors by founding 106 Miles, “a profession al network with the social mission of educating entrepreneurial engineers through dialogue.”Grant says Rifkin’s decision to focus his energies made his giving more valuable- and it strengthened his standing within that community. “You don’t see him volunteering at a soup kitchen, because he doesn’t add unique value there. In the long run, [volunteering] would be less beneficial to his professional goals,” says Grant.3. Don’t Be Afraid to Ask for Help“Successful givers also ask for help a lot more,” says Grant. “It’s counterintuitive, and people think that to be a giver, you always have to be on the giving end of the exchange. But the difference between taking and receiving is that taking is using someone, and receiving is accepting a contribution.”For instance, a taker might ask for a colleague’s help researching an upcoming project- then claim all of the credit for the project when it’s completed. On the other hand, a giver would ask for assistance, give his colleague appropriate credit, and then be sure to help out that person- or any other teammates- who were also preparing projects.As long as you’re not keeping a running tally in your head on what you’ve done versus what your colleagues have done for you, it’s better to ask for and accept help when you need it.4. Don’t Trust EveryoneIf you’re giving more than you get, it’s easy for a lazy co-worker to take advantage of your generosity. “Givers who get in trouble trust everyone all the time,” says Grant.If you notice that someone is consistently benefiting from your help or mentoring- but is stabbing you in the back when it comes to taking credit, or never seems to have the time to do a favor when you ask- consider acting more like a matcher. Instead of constantly giving to that person, and getting taken advantage of, hold that person accountable for lending you a hand as well from time to time.In the favor world, too, it seems you’re wise to live by the notion of: Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.5. Reach Out to AcquaintancesOne of the most important benefits of giving is that it creates a wider, more diverse network of people whom you’ve helped in the past. One way to be a smart giver is to reach out to what Grant calls your “weak ties”: In other words, people who aren’t close friends, colleagues, or family members.While stronger ties are often helpful (in fact, Grant says nearly 17% of people in a study conducted at Stanford heard about a job from a strong tie), they’re in limited supply- you only have a finite supply in your life, and they can only help you in so many ways.On the other hand, the “weak ties” you’ve added to your network over the years may prove more helpful in, say, a job hunt: Almost 28% of people in the same study heard about a job from an acquaintance, or someone they see only rarely. “Our strong ties tend to travel in the same social circles and know about the same opportuniti es. Weak ties are more likely to open up access to a different network,” writes Grant.“When it’s relevant or necessary, reach out to weak or dormant ties,” advises Grant. While it may feel uncomfortable at first, if you’ve established a history of giving (you’ve helped in the past or are offering to help them out now), they’re more likely to give to you.More From LearnVest 6  Big Resume Flaws- and How to Hide Them 10 Questions for a Career Coach 50 Ways to Be Productive in 10 Minutes or LessPhoto of woman helping courtesy of Shutterstock.

Retail and Customer Service Resume Samples

Retail and Customer Service Resume Samples Retail and Customer Service Resume Samples Before applying for a job in retail or customer service, its a good idea to review relevant resume samples while writing or editing your own. This is a great way to get a better idea of how your resume should look and what information to include. Often, your resume will be the initial way a potential employer gets to know you, so take the time to make sure it properly displays your best qualities in customer service and includes past experiences and retail successes.   What to Include in Your Resume Your contact information should be complete and clear at the beginning of your resume. Potential employers will not take the time to go searching for a cell number or email address to contact you, so make sure they are correct and easy to locate.  Highlight experience and accomplishments by noting budgets or departments you managed, sales goals you’ve met or exceeded, and recognition you may have received.  Your education section can include any coursework, classes, or projects that relate to the position, as well as your degrees earned.     Take the time to match your qualifications to the requirements the employer has listed in the job posting. Tips for Writing a Retail / Customer Service Resume Use keywords. Look carefully at the job listing for any keywords- important skills or qualifications- included in the listing. Try to use some of these words or terms in your own resume to make it stand out. For example, the job posting might describe the ideal candidate as detail-oriented. Include this in your resume in a way that illustrates your attention to detail.Use action words. When describing your achievements, use action words. Words like led, managed, stocked, and processed portray your experiences in an energetic way. Check out a list of action words for useful examples. Emphasize your related skills.

In your resume, include examples of times you displayed these skills. Check out a list of retail skills and a list of the top 10 soft skills for customer service in order to get additional ideas.Quantify your skills. Use numbers whenever possible to quantify your successes in sales.

They easily show an employer how you might contribute to the company. Emphasize any related academic experiences. If you have any schooling related to retail or sales, include it in your resume. For example, perhaps you majored in merchandising in college, took a high school class in business management, or even attended a seminar series about retail. Any of these related academic experiences are worth including on your resume.Edit, edit, edit. Proofread your resume carefully before submitting it. A clean, error-free resume will make you look professional. Additionally, ask a friend or family member to proofread the resume for you.

Beyond the emergency fund. Build a financial disaster survival kit

Beyond the emergency fund. Build a financial disaster survival kit Beyond the emergency fund. Build a financial disaster survival kit If you have followed prominent money gurus and  personal finance blogs  you are likely aware of the necessity of an emergency fund. Having a fund set aside to handle unexpected expenses is critical to build a successful financial future.In fact, it is so important that you squirrel away some rainy day money, that it would be irresponsible and border on financial malpractice to suggest that you begin paying down debt, saving for retirement, starting a side hustle or even  investing  prior to building an emergency fund.Follow Ladders on Flipboard!Follow Ladders’ magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and more!In other words, everyone agrees  YOU NEED AN EMERGENCY FUND!!!Dave Ramsey  would suggest you have an emergency fund with just $1500 and then you can start pursuing other goals such as paying down debt. If you don’t have $1500 in your rainy day fund then it’s probably a good a target to start. However, if we are being realisti c $1500 really isn’t an “emergency fund” its barely a bump in the road fund.Car repairs can easy cost more than $1500 and lets not even get started on what a medical emergency might cost; ER visit, medications, lost work, etc. Relatively minor medical emergencies can easily have you blowing through your fund. We haven’t even began to discuss the cost of a disaster, such as losing your source of employment, lawsuit, or divorce.Today we are going to go beyond the emergency fund and answer a reader’s question on how they can survive financial disasters.Question:  How do I prepare for Financial Disasters? Dear Reader:This is a common question that I often hear; how to prepare for emergencies. A financial emergency could take the form of an unexpected bill, loss of employment, market downturn, storms or even zombies (ok, maybe not zombies).While it’s nearly impossible to prepare for every contingency, you  can  develop a financial preparedness plan so that you can survive most of what life has to toss at you (again, zombies optional).Financial Preparedness in Seven Steps1. Maintain an Emergency FundI understand Dave Ramsey and Suze Orman think you can get by on just $1500 dollars. Dave Ramsey lives in a $40 million dollar house and Suze Orman lives on a private island and thinks you can’t retire with less than $6 Million dollars. (God help us all if true)I’m not trying to take a swing at their success but it’s fair enough to say that may be a  bit out of touch with reality. The deductibles on health insurance policies easy exceed $1.5k and think are not getting cheaper. If you following Dave’s advice and rocking at old beater car to you Dave job, a car repair could easily blow your emergency stash.So I don’t want to hear that noise about just keeping $1500 dollars, build a real survive the disaster fund then tackle your financial goals. You will sleep much better knowing you are not one blown radiator away from having a fat goose egg in your emergency fund ledge.It’s widely recommended that families should have at least 2 â€" 6 months of expenses in safe savings. Keep some paper cash on hand. While it’s tempting to ditch cash altogether and use the convenience of using plastic payment, the saying  Cash is King  has survived all these years for a reason. Should the power or internet go out in an emergency, many retailers will not be able to use credit or debit machines to process payments.2. Invest in Items that will Reduce your CostsThe markets certainly get a lot of attention, however, some of the biggest returns are made in reducing household ex penses. Consider having a  home energy  audit conducted. By sealing cracks, weather stripping and using quality insulation, the reduction in household maintenance and daily energy bills can pay dividends in good times and in bad.Given the choice between  making more money  and reducing costs: eliminating costs is generally preferential for two reasons. Costs typically increase greater than the rate of inflation. (When is the last time a bill when down?) Whenever you make or create money you have to share some of that money with your Uncle Sam and your nephews State and Local. 3. Focus on Self-SufficiencyBuy a recipe book on how to cook zombies. Ok, just kidding, enough about the zombies! Ask yourself what items are you buying now that you could be  producing at home? Have you considered gardening, or having a backyard flock of chickens (where allowable, check your city’s bylaws). A small hatchery would net you eggs and protein, but you would also have a product that you can sell if needed.4. Watch the Real Estate MarketOnce again, house prices are at an all-time high. Do you live in a high cost of living area? Consider selling and moving to a less expensive area and commuting to work. Lower living costs could help you save a cushion in case of an unexpected job loss. Even better: if you can find a place in the country to set up a little homestead or hobby farm, you can practice self-sufficiency.5. Protecting Your Market GainsConsider protecting your market gains. If you have money in the stock market, consider options like  fixed index annuities or a ME C  that offer some upside potential without risk of losses due to market turndowns.6. Diversify Your IncomeHave more than one stream of income. By having a  side hustle  or some stream of passive income, you can hedge against emergencies, particularly the loss of employment. There are many options to  making make money from home or online, having backup sources of income is the ultimate financial preparedness. Having even a modest source of side income can keep you from needed to exhaust your emergency fund at the first sign of trouble.7. VolunteerVolunteering is a great way to pad your resume, make valuable network connections, and secure recommendations from influential members of the community. It’s also a way to give back to the community you call home.A great way to get free training (or next best thing) is to volunteer at places like your local fire department, FEMA or EMT training.Be sure to choose volunteer opportunities that you believe in â€" the work you are doing is mu ch more important than the lines on a  resume. If you choose something that you stand behind, your efforts will be genuine. This will reflect others and create a strong network. If you find yourself in hardship or unemployed, it’s those relationships that can often lead to new opportunities and stellar references.After all, a herd of zombies can’t be stopped by just one, it takes a whole village.Panic Now, Avoid the Rush LaterThe key to creating a financial preparedness plan is to do the groundwork ahead of time. Whenever the market crashes the mainstream media will write articles on how to survive or prepare for a recession.Waiting for the market downturn do get your preparations in order is like stocking up for the big storm when it hits, or trying to hit the supermarket after that first reported zombie bit. Doing a little bit of prep work now will ensure that when that “storm” does hit, you will be sleeping easy and won’t make any panicked decisions that may cost you in the long run.This article first appeared on Money Geek.

This schedule trick will save you time, money and energy

This schedule trick will save you time, money and energy This schedule trick will save you time, money and energy Feeling exhausted or overwhelmed? Before you continue to burn the candle at both ends or  frazzle out  entirely, you might take a minute to see if there’s a better way to design your day. If you wear a lot of hats at work, trying an A/B schedule might save you time, stress, and energy.Follow Ladders on Flipboard!Follow Ladders’ magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and more!Haven’t heard of this strategy before? Here’s how it works: You examine your to-do list, identify the types of tasks you have or modes you need to work in, and then group similar things together so you can stay in the same mindset or stick with the same tools. Instead of constantly switching back and forth between different types of tasks and leaving most of them unfinished, you set aside specific times or days to dedicate to similar tasks or single projects. Imagine heading home feeling energetic and inspired, rather than too exhausted to even decide what you want to have for dinner. It sounds glorious, and it’s not too good to be true. Here’s what you can do to set yourself up for success.1. Scope your current schedule.  Get clear on where you are right now before you start making schedule changes. Check in with yourself to take stock and make note of the tasks you tackle each day, week, and month. Next, nail down how much you work and how often you communicate. Last, look to uncover where and when you work your best, along with what stresses you, drains your energy, or causes you to go off-course.2. Set specific goals.  Once you’ve had a chance to get real about what works and what doesn’t right now, you’ll be in solid shape to set a few  productivity  goals you hope you can achieve by altering your schedule. Not sure where to start? Here are a few ideas: “I want to save x hours of time per week”: You might try to save yourself from a time suck you know happens when you switch between different types of tasks. Get specific and see if you can save a number of hours per week by regularly sticking with the same type of work for a set block of time or a whole day. “I’d like to feel more energetic after work”: Do you head home feeling drained? If you’ve identified that switching hats each day makes you feel exhausted, foggy, or burnt out, try setting a goal that’s aligned with feeling good when you’re done with work. You can aim to have the energy for post-work social plans a few nights a week, or to hit an evening workout class you’re usually too tired for. “I want to feel more focused”: If you’ve been struggling to break through a creative rut, have recently experienced job boredom, or feel unable to get in the zone, your goal might be to count the number of times inspiration strikes in a day, week, or month. If calls and meetings pull your attention away, consider blocking an entire day for communication only. 3. Test your new tactics.  Have your goals ready to go? Awesome! If you work with other people and your new schedule could affect them, let them know about your new approach and how it might change the way you collaborate. If you work solo, you’re set to hit the ground running.4. Reflect on how you feel.  If your schedule test goes well, you’ll find yourself with extra time, more energy, greater focus, feelings of inspiration, or restored creativity. Have you been able to close your computer for lunch? Are you sleeping well? Are you stressing about tasks? Do you feel exhausted? Your goal is to feel good at the end of each day, so be sure to schedule in things that keep you healthy, like short breaks, taking time for a balanced lunch, or even an on-site power nap.5. Evaluate your work:  The last step on the list is to pause and reflect on your professional output. Are you producing high-quality deliverables? Do you feel like your assignments, projects, or presentations are as good as they were before, or hopefully, better? Ideally, getting in the zone - and being able to stay there for a set amount of time - will help you produce your best work.This article originally appeared on Brit + Co.You might also enjoy… New neuroscience reveals 4 rituals that will make you happy Strangers know your social class in the first seven words you say, study finds 10 lessons from Benjamin Franklin’s daily schedule that will double your productivity The worst mistakes you can make in an interview, according to 12 CEOs 10 habits of mentally strong people

Herman Hollerith

Herman Hollerith Herman Hollerith Herman Hollerith Struggling so much in school that his parents had him taught at home, Herman Hollerith (1860 1929) went on to outstanding success in higher education and has been called variously the father of information processing, the father of modern automatic computation, and the worlds first statistical engineer. The son of German immigrants, Hollerith attended the City College of New York, received an engineer of mines degree from Columbia School of Mines at age 19 and later a Ph.D., although some biographers say it was an honorary degree. Best known for developing a mechanical tabulator using punched cards where data was stored to tabulate statistics, Hollerith founded a company that later evolved into one of the most influential corporations of the computer age, IBM. His designs for tabulating and sorting machines and the key punch became standard for the information processing/computing industry for almost a century. Holleriths superior performance in college led one of his professors, W.P. Trowbridge, to hire him as his assistant at Columbia. Within a short period of time, Trowbridge was appointed chief special agent for the 1880 U.S. Census, and Hollerith accompanied him as statistician at the Census Bureau for a brief period. It was a time of great change as the population had soared from 3.8 million for the first census in 1790 to 31.8 million in 1860. Hand counting was no longer adequate because results took so long they were outdated even before they were finalized. During the 1880s, Hollerith spent some time on the mechanical engineering faculty at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and then worked on railroad braking systems, among other projects. At the same time, he began to think about ways to tabulate, process, and analyze data faster. His brief time at the Census Bureau and discussions with Dr. John Shaw Billings, head of the division of vital statistics, started him thinking that a machine like an automatic weaving device using punch cards holding data might replace hand counting. In 1884, he applied for his first patent (of the more than 30 U.S. patents he received during his lifetime) related to methods to convert the information from card punches into electrical impulses, which would activate mechanical counters in a machine he designed. By 1887, it was ready for testing and passed with flying colors, and soon after, he learned of an open competition set up by the Census Bureau for automating data. In the competition against two other systems, Holleriths method was not only a clear winner in cutting processing time, saving taxpayers millions of dollars, but also a procedure used well into the 1960s. Foreign governments, particularly in Europe, were interested in his process for a variety of statistical purposes, and in 1896, continuing to make improvements, he opened the Tabulating Machine Company in Washington, D.C. Among his other inventions were an automatic card-feed mechanism, the first card punch operated from a keyboard and a wiring panel that allowed a tabulator to do different jobs without being rebuilt, all paving the way for todays information processing industry. In 1911, Hollerith's company merged with several others to form the Computing-Tabulating Recording Company. Hollerith became less involved, particularly after Thomas J. Watson, an experienced sales and management executive, joined the company in 1914, and changed the way it was run. Hollerith retired in 1921 to his farm in rural Maryland, where he spent the rest of his life raising Guernsey cattle.

Skype Interview Tips

Skype Interview Tips Skype Interview Tips Skype Interview Tips Usually, if an employer likes your resume and cover letter and wants to interview you, they simply call you, maybe do a phone screen, then schedule an in-person interview. But nowadays, some companies might ask you to do an online Skype interview first (and by 'Skype' I mean any online video conferencing application). This practice is still relatively unusual, but might come up if you're applying to cutting-edge technology companies, or if you and the employer are in different geographical areas. A Skype interview is like any other job interview except that, from the employers perspective, youre not a whole personyoure just a talking head on a screen. Its as if theyre watching you on TV. But unlike TV personalities, who have a professional crew to make them look good, youll need to work out the set design, lighting, and camera issues on your own. Thats where we can help. As youll see, the secret is to be well-prepared (as you would for any job interview). Choose a clutter-free, well-lit location, eliminate noise sources, place your webcam at eye level, and smile! Youll not only avoid looking foolish, youll boost your confidence and keep the interviewers focus on you and your message, not on your kitchen light fixture or your collection of knick-knacks.

SEAL Training Hell Week Information

SEAL Training Hell Week Information SEAL Training Hell Week Information Of all the battles a SEAL (Sea, Air, Land) must fight, none is more important than their firstâ€" the battle of mind over body. The voice was back. That small, self-doubting messenger returned to pitch its familiar monologue, “This is BS! Why are you putting yourself through this? You are never gonna make it all the way, so quit now and call it a day!” Basic Underwater Demolitions and SEAL  (BUD/S) instructors know the human machine is capable of amazing endurance even in the harshest of conditions and environments, but they also know the mind must be made to ignore the pleading of the body. As their name suggests, SEALs are trained to conduct operations in any arena, and successful candidates spend 18 to 24 months in training before being assigned to teams. Every step is a challenge, and each test is progressively more difficult. On average, 70 percent of candidates never make it past Phase One. For most, the greatest challenge lies in Week 4 of Phase One. A grueling 5.5 days, the continuous training ultimately determines who has the ability and mindset to endure. Welcome to Hell Week. Trainees are constantly in motion; constantly cold, hungry and wet. Mud is everywhereâ€"it covers uniforms, hands, and faces. Sand burns eyes and chafes raw skin. Medical personnel standby for emergencies and then monitor the exhausted trainees. Sleep is fleetingâ€"a mere three to four hours granted near the conclusion of the week. The trainees consume up to 7,000 calories a day and still lose weight. The inner voice mimics the BUD/S instructor pacing the line of waterlogged men with his bullhorn. “If you quit now you could go get a room at one of those luxury hotels down the beach and do nothing but sleep for an entire day! Throughout Hell Week, BUD/S instructors continually remind candidates that they can “Drop-On-Request” (DOR) any time they feel they can’t go on by simply ringing a shiny brass bell that hangs prominently within the camp for all to see. “The belief that BUD/S is about physical strength is a common misconception. Actually, it’s 90 percent mental and 10 percent physical,” said a BUD/S instructor at the San Diego facility. “(Students) just decide that they are too cold, too sandy, too sore or too wet to go on. It’s their minds that give up on them, not their bodies.” “Whaddaya think? All you have to do is get up and go smack the hell out of that shiny, brass bell. You KNOW you want to. …” It is not the physical trials of Hell Week that are difficult so much as its duration: a continual 132 hours of physical labor. Through the long days and nights of Hell Week, candidates learn to rely on one another to keep awake and stay motivated. They tap one another on the shoulder or thigh periodically and wait for a reassuring pat in response that says, “I’m still hangin’ in there, how ‘bout you?” They cheer loudly when they notice a mate struggling to complete his mission and use the same as fuel when they themselves feel drained. They learn to silence that inner voice urging them to give in and ring that hideous, beautiful bell. Sleep. He would do anything for it. He couldn’t remember what day it was, or when he had last slept. But, he knew it felt good, and NOTHING about “Hell Week” felt good. He had been cold and wet for days. There were open sores along his inner thigh now from being constantly soaked. And every time he moved, the coarse, wet camouflage raked over the wounds, sending lightning bolts of pain through his body. Maybe the voice was right. Maybe he should just get up, walk over, and ring that bell. Commanding officers recommendation (prepared as a result of the panel) should include information concerning the member’s military and professional performance, degree and scope of technical competence and supervisory ability in present rating, potential to perform as a commissioned officer, and ability to accomplish officer technical management and specialist functions of the program(s) and category(?ies) requested.? Only those individuals who have clearly demonstrated sustained superior performance, outstanding leadership abilities, and the potential to serve as commissioned officers should be recommended for these programs. A candidate must receive a favorable endorsement from the commanding officer (unit CO for SELRES personnel) to be eligible to apply to become an LDO. If a commanding officer feels an individual is not qualified for LDO, the commander will not forward the package. Individuals not receiving a favorable endorsement are to be counseled on what they need to do to improve their records to ultimately receive a favorable endorsement. Selection Boards Separate selection boards (one for active duty and one for inactive duty) meet at the Navy Personnel Command annually to consider applicants for the active duty and inactive duty LDO programs. Appointment to Limited Duty Officer CWOs selected for LDO will be appointed in the permanent grade of LTJG (paygrade  O-2) in the Navy (or Naval Reserves for inactive duty personnel). CWOs selected for LDO with at least 4 years and 1 day of cumulative active duty service to include (ADSW/AT) will be appointed in the permanent grade of LTJG (paygrade O-2E). Enlisted personnel selected for LDO will be appointed in the permanent grade of ensign (paygrade O-1) in the Navy (or Naval Reserves for inactive duty personnel). Enlisted personnel selected for LDO with more than 4 years of active duty service will be appointed in the permanent grade of ensign (paygrade O-1E). Selectees will be appointed as LDOs only if they continue to meet all eligibility standards as specified previously. Active Duty selectees must agree to remain on active duty for 4 years from the date of acceptance of appointment and may be required to transfer from current duty location. Selectees under the inactive duty program must continue serving in the Ready Reserve until the appointment is tendered. Upon acceptance, each  selectee  must agree to remain in the Ready Reserve for a period of 3 years from the date of acceptance of appointment. Candidates must break through ice-encrusted waters, jump in without the protection of their dry-suit, tread water for three to four minutes, pull themselves out of the water, then dry their clothes and gear off. While some might question the necessity of being inducted into this “Polar Bear Club,” SEAL candidates once again silence inner doubts and follow instructions as given. Even in the later phases of SQT, candidates call upon their mental determination to pull them through. “I kept thinking of that scene in the movie ‘Armageddon,’” said a fellow SEAL candidate and boatswain’s mate 3rd class. “The rescue team going to the asteroid asked about the environment in space, and as NASA engineers described it, the heroes replied, ‘Worst possible environment imaginable, that’s all you had to tell us.’ That’s pretty much what Cold-Weather Training  was like for me: the worst possible environment imaginable.” After the completion of Cold-weather Survival Training, they are awarded their trident badge and  Navy Enlisted Classification code  at Naval Special Warfare Center, Coronado, Calif. With terrorist threats on the rise around the world, SEALs are needed more than ever. Yet, even with a pressing need for more such men, training of candidates remains as tough as it has ever been. The 24-month training process will continue to separate the determined candidates  from the undecided. As Navy SEALs put their lives on the line defending America, each member of that team must know without a doubt that the man fighting next to him will not give in or punk out when things start to get rough. “NO! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!” he silently screamed at the pessimistic voice as the sea came at him again. It worked! He focused once again on the other SEAL candidates linked arm-in-arm with him in the wet sand. He could hear their combined sputterings and groans. He also heard the crash of the surf, but the defeatist voice inside his head was goneâ€"at least for the moment. Someone had to ring the bell before the group could crawl out of the icy water, but it wasn’t going to be him, damn it! He gritted his chattering teeth  and prepared for the next wave. “After all,” he told himself sternly, “what’s a little water to a SEAL?”
