In the Mood for Something Scary Job Interview Horror Stories

In the Mood for Something Scary Job Interview Horror StoriesIn the Mood for Something Scary Job Interview Horror StoriesIf youre searching for a good horror story to celebrate the spookiest time of year, look no further than the universally dreaded job bewerbungsgesprch. Below are some of the most cringe-worthy interview stories submitted to Simply Hired by ur fans.Mistaken IdentityFor me, the nightmare welches before the interview. I submitted my resume to the founder of a small company. I checked my e-mail over several times for grammar errors, but I welches blinded by the obvious major error. I had mistakenly put in the wrong name of the person it was addressed to. Instead of the owner I put the name of another CEO whose name was everywhere in the recent news. They both had the saatkorn first name, but it was spelled differently. Their brde names also started out the same but were completely different. I didnt notice this gaffe until the owner himself responded to it. I have no id ea how I was able to recover and get an interview for that position, but I did. I didnt get the job.Legally ObliviousA lawyer interviewing me asked what professor I had for my constitutional law class in school. He then asked what I thought of that professor. I told him that we usually had no idea what she was talking about because she was so hard to understand. Then the interviewer told me that the professor was his wife. They had different last names. I of course did not get the job.Wanted Researcher/Lion TamerI was interviewing for a position in which I was required to write a sample report and then discuss it with the hiring manager on the phone. The manager grilled me about what I wrote, essentially questioning the validity of my assumptions and the basis for my research. His questions were so aggressive I started tearing up and was unable to answer, knowing that if I did I would break into tears. He finally said, Im going easy on you. If you cant handle questions like this, yo ure not going to be able to get in front of clients. Luckily I didnt get the job, but later on I heard from several others that he was a jerk to everyone that worked for him. Two people on his team, one of whom recruited me, left the company less than a year later.Can Chew Gum AND WalkDuring college I interviewed to be an alumni fundraiser. Toward the end the interviewer asked what my biggest accomplishment was. With no prior work experience, and since I didnt do any research into how to interview beforehand, I was completely taken aback by the question. I ended up answering, Well I made it this far. Thats pretty good. I didnt get the job.Panel of DoomI agreed to an interview for a high school teaching position during college finals week and headed over after a quantum mechanics final that I had pulled an all-nighter studying for. I arrived late and received a look of disapproval upon giving my name to the receptionist. At this point I remembered that I didnt really like high school very much. Even though I was just graduating college, I had already worked several jobs and was used to an interview format where you sit down with the boss and have a pleasant one-on-one conversation about yourself and the company. But when I walked into the conference room at the high school, I found a panel of 12 people there to evaluate me.The first question I was asked was,Tell us about what types of teaching methods you like to use in the classroom and why you think they would work in a XYZ school XYZ being a word Id never heard before. Up until this point I had not thought anything about what they might ask, I had no training to be a teacher, had done no research on being a teacher, knew nothing about philosophies, methods or thought that there might be types of school other than public or private.I tried to sidestep the question, but the panelist cut me off and asked again about the teaching methods used. I gave an answer that clearly was not what she was looking for. Then she followed that up with, Why do you think you would be a good fit for the teaching position at this school? It was pretty clear that I was not, but I answered anyway. The next thing that became clear was every person on the 12-person committee was going to ask me two questions, and I was not going to be prepared for any of them.What I did take away from that interview was a sense of every question I would be asked over my next couple dozenteaching interviews. I had answered the panels questions so badly that they started explaining their questions and basically telling me what they had wanted to hear. That interview was one of the worst hours of my life, but it prepared me to go on and get teaching offers from almost every other interview I had.Welcome to AmericaInterviewer Whats your name?Me I stated my name. (Wait a minute. Isnt he looking right at my resume?)Him Is that your real name?Me Yes.Him Oh, because I interviewed a Chinese girl before you and it turned out that Michell e wasnt her real name. So your last name is Wong. What is that?Me Im Chinese.Him One of the researchers at the lab speaks Mandarin. You should be able to get along really well with him. I lived in Japan for eight years, so I speak fluent Japanese. Do you speak Japanese?Me NoHim Ohayou gozaimasu. Do you know what that means?Me No.Him Do you like manga?He may as well have taped the corners of his eyes with Scotch tape to ridicule me. At least that would have been less frustrating and perhaps a bit entertaining.Want to see what its like on the other side?

Before you appl y for federal jobs, toss that knowledge out the window and abflug fresh. Federal resumes take another route, sometimes similar to curriculum vitae (CV). Standard resumes summarize your skills, experiences and education into a one- to two-page document. Federal resumes are another beast altogether. They focus on your entire life and all the nitty, gritty details. The federal resume format uses the same information as a typical resume, but goes into more depth about your skills, past duties and accomplishments.Government resources like USAJobs.com and the U.S. Department of Labor offer specific templates to use during the application process.

It is an old, tiresome joke. Hiring managers face the bureaucracy daily, and they may think you are making fun of their important work.Treat each interview as if you were speaking with the director or secretary of the department. Be careful not to brownnose. Hiring managers know when you are spreading it too thick.Dress appropriately, and do not act as if you are tired of the process, even though you are tired. If you start yawning, the hiring manager might think you are not committed.Bring a copy of your resume, a notepad and pen, business cards, and folder. Federal agencies love those who look professional and are prepared for anything.What is next on the list?Federal resume, check application completed, check what comes next? First, if you dont receive a response from your application, dont start thinking it was sucked into a black hole. Federal red tape takes a long time to spin.

They were first implemented by the International Committee for Relief to the Wounded, which later became the International Committee for the Red Cross and Red Crescent. The Geneva Conventions  were intended to protect soldiers who were no longer engaged in combat. This included the sick and wounded, shipwrecked members of armed forces at sea and prisoners of war, and certain auxiliary civilians. What Is the Geneva Convention?   Held in Geneva, the 1949 conventions and two protocols added in 1977 form the basis for international humanitarian law in times of war. The provisions of two subsequent Geneva Conventions in 1951 and 1967 protect refugees.   The 1949 Geneva Conventions followed three others that took place in 1864, 1906, and 1929. The 1949 Conventions updated the tenets, rules, and agreements reached in the first three conventions.   There were actually four Conventions in 1949, and the first provided the fourth update to the original version of the agreement. It extended protections to not only the sick and wounded but to clergy and medical personnel as well.   The second 1949 Geneva Convention offered protection to military personnel serving at sea during wartime, including those confined on hospital ships. It adapted provisions achieved in the Hague Convention of 1906. The third 1949 Convention applied to prisoners of war and replaced 1929s Prisoners of War Convention. Most notably, it set terms for the locations of places of captivity and standards that must be maintained there.   The fourth Convention further extended protection to civilians, including those in occupied territories. In total, 196 states parties or countries have signed and ratified the 1949 Conventions over the years, including many that did not participate or sign until decades later. These include Angola, Bangladesh, and Iran.   Changes to the Geneva Conventions While the treaties put in place by the Geneva Conventions are still in effect today, some discussion has taken place in recent years about updating them again. The most daunting question is whether the humanitarian rights put into effect by the Geneva Conventions for prisoners of war should pertain to terrorists or suspected terrorists.   World leaders have questioned whether these rules, written after World War II and updated after the Vietnam War, apply to the conflicts of today, particularly after the events of September 11, 2001. If so, how can they be enforced more effectively? Should they be revised to address new threats, such as acts of terrorism? The case of Hamdi v. Rumsfeld threw a spotlight on this issue in 2004 when Hamdi, a U.S. citizen, was accused of joining Taliban forces on U.S. soil. As such, this made him an enemy combatant and, the Department of Defense argued, placed him outside the protections of the Geneva Conventions. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled otherwise, basing its decision on a congressional resolution that had been in effect since 2001 allowing the president to use all necessary and appropriate forces against any country that participated in the 9/11 attacks.   Furthermore, the Conventions obligate all states parties to the agreement- including Afghanistan- to offer universal jurisdiction and support of its protections. They must enforce them on their own soil. It remains to be seen whether further updates will be reached.

5 useful tips to enjoy authentic experiences in touristy travel destinations

5 useful tips to enjoy authentic experiences in touristy travel destinations 5 useful tips to enjoy authentic experiences in touristy travel destinations Some destinations get a poor reputation because they are referred to as “tourist traps.” It may be because the destinations are over-crowded or over-priced, or it could be a sand and sea vacation within the boundaries of an all-inclusive.Most travelers want to enjoy authentic experiences while traveling but it can be a challenge to do it safely, affordable and within the timeframe, you’re visiting the destination.Follow Ladders on Flipboard!Follow Ladders’ magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and more!We’ve asked travel pros for their tips on how to capture an authentic experience packed with culture, learning or adventure.Do your researchBefore your trip, take some time to do research to make sure you build a strong understanding of what makes that place so special. Use online resources to delve into your interests.“Look at things that reflect your interests and values, then do research for similar activities,” says G reg Bresnitz, Global VP Concept and Programming, Selina, a hospitality brand with locations throughout Latin America and Europe. Once you know what’s there, you can plan accordingly to get some genuine glimpses of life where you’re visiting.“If there’s a band you like that played at a specific venue or a museum that has one of your favorite artists, be sure to make a stop there,” Bresnitz says.Embrace adventureUnderstand that your research and planning is just a starting point. City-dwelling is amazing, but do more if you want.“If there is something that speaks to you, follow it,” Bresnitz says. “All the milestones that people have on their bucket lists started as a few people discovering it first. Think about the intangible dreams you have about your trip and see how you can fulfill them in tangible ways at your destination.”As you learn about your destination, keep an open mind, find what speaks to you and go with it; you never know what you’ll discover.Talk wi th locals about local lifeSince they live there, they will know hidden gems that guidebooks or travel sites may not.“I always recommend for travelers discovering a destination to ask true locals about the city’s main economic driver,” says Joy Michelle Boyd, General Manager at Baker’s Cay Resort Key Largo, Curio Collection by Hilton.In Key Largo, for example, Boyd shares most locals spend their lives on the water whether as fishermen, scientific researchers or for leisure.“Enjoying their amphibious backyard, protecting the environment and preserving the beauty of the Keys is such a way of life here that we wanted to give guests a peek at this lifestyle by partnering with a number of local businesses and organizations, like Dolphin Plus Marine Mammal Responder and our local fishing charters offered onsite,” she continues. “This gives travelers a better understanding of what’s really important and thus a distinct connection to the culture and tone of the area.”Use a tour company that specializes in unique experiencesOne way to help tackle this obstacle is to use a tourism company that works with local guides and local vendors.“This can offer an off-the-beaten-path authentic experience,” says Chris Baker, CEO and founder of OneSeed Expeditions. “This challenge of providing an authentic experience in touristy places is part of what OneSeed Expeditions addresses in all of its itineraries, and with all of its partners across eight different countries.”Baker says his tour company takes popular locations and works with local guides to find the road less traveled, or the secret local spots which could be anything from a viewpoint off an unknown trail to a local watering hole in the city. Also, traveling with a guide can help navigate these experiences and ensure you’re learning things like the history, culture, and food of the beautiful locations you’re traveling.“This is information you can’t get from your guide book,” Baker adds.Re ad about local happenings while thereAyasha Teague, owner of Blueprint Travel, an agency that curates personalized travel experiences, says a tip for travelers to create authentic experiences in a touristy area is to read local newspapers or magazines online using translation to learn the inside scoop.“They usually provide a calendar of local events as well as classes, special shops, and things to do geared towards residents,” Teague says.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

These are the most common things people lie about on their resumes

These are the most common things people lie about on their resumes These are the most common things people lie about on their resumes Sometimes, resumes have to be… massaged. Tweaked to fit the job listing. Walked back a little. But none of tooling around is a lie, right? As it turns out, only 5% of all people said they’d lied on their resumes â€" but Millennials do it twice as much as anyone else. In that category, 11% of adults ages 25-34 admitted to lying on their resumes “at least once.”GOBankingRates conducted a survey  carried out by ConsumerTrack Inc. of 1,003 people to ask them if and why they lied on their resumes.Follow Ladders on Flipboard!Follow Ladders’ magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and more!Of the 5%, of course, it depends on what one does â€" and doesn’t â€" call a lie. An embellishment of start dates? A slight brush-up on skills? Still, of the 5% of liars, half had lied on their resume before.An additional 9% had never lied, but had considered the proposition. Generation Z was the most tempted, at 14%.Jenny Foss, a job search str ategist, told GoBankingRates, “It’s rare that I encounter someone who completely fabricates something on their resume.” Foss said that “truth-stretching” â€" which is not exactly a lie, but still sort of is â€" was more commonplace.The most common things to lie about on a resume Work experience: 38% Dates of employment: 31% Job title at previous role: 16% References: 15% College education: 11% Responsibilities at previous role: 7% It’s true when it comes to working experience, sometimes one’s familiarity with Google Analytics must be strrreeetched a bit, a job history “altered” to fit the circumstances. Interestingly, men lied about this much more than women, at 46% and 31%, respectively.And no one likes long gaps in employment. When it came to employment dates, women lied far more than men â€" 41% to 19%, respectively.All jokes aside, history is littered with many big shots whose fall from grace was that they lied on their resumes  â€" some of them for decades, and over basic details â€" costing them their jobs. Ex-Yahoo CEO Scott Thompson, who said he had a computer science and accounting degree, lost his job when it came to light that he only had the accounting degree. No one cares that he “only” had an accounting degree, just that he lied.In 2014, Wal-Mart’s top spokesman was forced to resign over an old lie on his resume that said he had a bachelor’s degree from the University of Delaware when he actually hadn’t finished enough coursework to graduate. This lie was discovered during a background check while he was up for a promotion.Marilee Jones, the dean of admissions at MIT from 1997 to 2007, told one heck of a whopper for 28 years: she stated she had three degrees when in fact, she had zero. She was found out through an anonymous tip and had to leave as a result.And even more embarrassingly, celebrity chef Robert Irvine lied about designing Prince Charles and Princess Diana’s wedding cake. As a result, he was fired from his own show on the Food Network’s “Diner Impossible.” He had only picked fruit for the cake.Perhaps those bigwigs could all relate to the following chart: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

8 highly successful people on the most important lessons learned

8 highly successful people on the most important lessons learned 8 highly successful people on the most important lessons learned Since taking over as host of Business Insider’s podcast “Success! How I Did It” in late February, I’ve had conversations with leaders across a variety of fields about what they consider the most important lessons they’ve learned. I’ve spoken to everyone from the CEO of Vimeo to the president of Planned Parenthood to a NASA astronaut who spent a year in space.These lessons can come from a piece of advice, like what Vimeo CEO Anjali Sud’s father taught her, or from a personal insight, as what Facebook cofounder Chris Hughes realized from a $25 million mistake.If you like what you read, check out the full episodes and subscribe wherever you get podcasts.Vimeo CEO Anjali Sud learned to seek opportunities out of her comfort zoneSud said that her father, an entrepreneur who immigrated to Flint, Michigan from India, told her that she should live outside of her comfort zone.She said that it’s guided her throughout her life.Here’s Sud:“Leaving home at 14, going to Andover, where I didn’t know really anything, I was definitely outside my comfort zone then. In many of the roles I’ve had at Amazon and certainly at Vimeo, I’ve been in situations where it wasn’t like I had the playbook and I knew exactly what to do.“I think that when you are pushed outside of your comfort zone, you get off that learning curve so much faster and you develop as a leader so much faster.”X Prize Foundation founder Peter Diamandis learned the importance of focusing his attentionDiamandis is one of those people with a nearly limitless drive to work toward his goals - and so a challenge for him, when he was younger, was not knowing how to focus that energy.His parents wanted him to become a doctor, but he wanted to study space. His compromise? Getting his master’s in aerospace science from MIT and his MD from Harvard. But even as a medical student, he was involved in space organizations on the side. His balancing act was too much, even for someone who never stoppe d. His dean called him into his office one day.“And my dean was like, ‘Peter, what are you doing? You’re a bright kid. Your interns are telling me you’re not paying attention, you’re not focusing. Do you want to graduate?'” Diamandis told us. “I’m breaking down in tears right now, and I’m saying, ‘Yes, I want to graduate. I promised my parents I would graduate.’ And I fessed up on everything that was going on with ISU and my launch company, International MicroSpace.“And I said, ‘We’re doing engine development tasks and all of this.’ And he goes, ‘OK, all right, here’s the deal: If you pass part two of the boards, and you promise never to practice medicine, I’ll let you graduate.’ So he kept his end of the bargain, and I kept mine!“It was a turning point in my life, because I was able to be done with that obligation.”Retired NASA astronaut Scott Kelly learned that performing at a high level is built on a foundation of constant effortKelly and his identical twin brother Mark - also a retired astronaut - were different in one key way as kids. Kelly simply did not care about school.He was able to get enough work done that he made it to the State University of New York Maritime College. By that point, he had decided that he wanted to become an astronaut, inspired to do so after reading Tim Wolfe’s book about the subject, “The Right Stuff.”He decided that if he would one day achieve that goal, he would have to excel at school to have even a remote shot at accomplishing it. Determined, he devoted hours every day to studying, and, unsurprisingly, his poor grades began to rise. But his attention began to wander again. As he writes in his memoir “Endurance,” there was one weekend where he was ready to head out to a big party at Rutgers when he had a phone call with his brother.When he mentioned that he had his first calculus exam in a few days but was going to party first, Mark snapped at him for losing track of his goal. “Are you out of your goddamn mind?” he remembered Mark telling him. “You’re in school. You need to absolutely ace this exam, and everything else, if you want to get caught up.”Kelly decided to take his brother’s advice, and things, of course, worked out. But he remembers it as a moment where his discipline could have been shaken forever.Media mogul Tina Brown learned that taking care of your team is the way to foster your own successAs the editor of Vanity Fair and the New Yorker, and as the founding editor of the Daily Beast, Brown left an indelible mark on American media. She told us that her successes were only possible because she learned early in her career not only how to create and rely on excellent teams, but to keep them loyal.“Really nurture talent - I mean, talent’s the key to it all,” she said. “You have to handle people properly. You need to find them, but then you’ve got to keep them with you. The way you keep them with you is by being genu inely engaged with people.“I’m always shocked, frankly, at how editors really don’t pay much attention to the writers at all. Writers will write for somebody for very little money, as they did for me at the Beast, if they get a response. If they get a note back saying: ‘Fantastic piece. Can you just make the top this, and I suggest you change the middle to this?’ Boom, they love it. They want response, and they want to feel that they’ve found a home.”Edible Arrangements founder Tariq Farid learned to not engage with those who wanted to see him failFarid moved to Connecticut from Pakistan when he was 13, and his family had very little money. The combination of having a different ethnicity and economic background from other kids in the neighborhood led to some bullying - but even as he explained it to us, he said he didn’t want to overplay it, because he learned to dismiss it and focus on the neighbors that welcomed his family and supported their flower shop.It was us eful to him as an adult, when there was an online conspiracy theory about Farid sending his foundation’s money to the Islamic paramilitary group Hamas, an accusation the Anti-Defamation League publicly stated was baseless.“I’ve faced these kind of remarks and discriminatory things before,” Farid told us. “But when you measure that to the success you’ve gotten on the other side, it’s insignificant.”“If you want to focus on pessimism, if people want to focus on negativity, then you get negativity and you only stay within negativity. But if you want to focus on what you can do not only to better yourself but to better your community and to better the people around you, then you will do that.”Facebook cofounder Chris Hughes learned how to balance ambition with realityHughes helped his Harvard roommate Mark Zuckerberg develop Facebook in its early years, and it made him unexpectedly rich. In 2012, he used some of his fortune to buy the struggling magazine The New Repu blic.Hughes wanted to make the highbrow liberal journal a mainstream success, and his efforts to do so resulted in $25 million spent over four years and the loss of most of his editorial staff, in protest of his changes.When we spoke with Hughes, he explained that while he stands by some of the changes he made, he regrets that he went in “guns blazing.” He’s taken what he’s learned to his current venture, the Economic Security Project.“That’s why I didn’t start an organization to campaign for UBI right off the bat,” he said, referring to Universal Basic Income, a system in which every citizen receives a guaranteed income regardless of their circumstances. Instead, Hughes’ organization is advocating for a guaranteed income of a monthly $500 sent to working Americans making under $50,000. It is certainly quite ambitious, but one Hughes doesn’t see as impossible, and he is willing to support policies that gradually ease into it.As he wrote in his book “Fair Shot,â € his failure at the New Republic taught him that, “just because an idea is bold does not mean that the means to achieve it need be. A prosaic and incremental approach can be a more effective way to put poetic ideals into practice.”Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards learned to not second-guess herself when an intimidating opportunity aroseRichards is in her last year as the head of the women’s health organization Planned Parenthood, and she’s brought it back to its movement roots. Throughout her career, in fact, she’s never shied away from defending causes she believes in, regardless of the opposition’s power or aggression. She told us her model has always been her late mother, former Texas governor Ann Richards.“She spent a lot of years just doing what society expected her,” Richards told us. “She was just to raise kids, be a perfect wife, throw the perfect dinner party, and she did that for several years. And it wasn’t until she had the chance to bre ak out and do what she wanted to do for her - I think she was always regretful that she, you know, missed some time. You know, she let social convention get in the way.“So her best advice was, ‘This is the only life you have, so do it.’ And whatever it is, never turn down a new opportunity. And, you know, she used to say when I was worried about taking a new job - or to other women who would say, ‘You know, I’m not sure if I’m qualified’ - she said, ‘Look. What’s the worst thing that could happen?” And I think that’s really good advice when you’re thinking about starting a new business or changing jobs. It’s just, ‘what’s the worst thing that can happen,’ because usually, once you can imagine that, it’s not that bad.”Flatiron Health CEO Nat Turner learned that following a clearly defined mission brings out the best work in himself and his teamNat Turner was only 24 years old when he sold his first company for $80 million, eight years ago. It wa s a deal with Google that got him and his cofounder Zach Weinberg some capital and a management job at Google New York office in exchange for their ad platform, Invite Media. But it took all of one day for them to feel bored and unsatisfied.“And we always say, our obituary one day, when we die: We don’t want to say we optimized banner ads online,” Turner told us.Inspiration struck when Turner considered a question from his cousin, whose seven-year-old son was still fighting a battle with leukemia that he’d eventually win. Turner’s cousin couldn’t figure out why it was so difficult to find data on childhood leukemia treatments, considering that it seemed like a problem that could easily be solved by tech.Turner and Weinberg decided to create the software that would do that, and more, which led to the creation of Flatiron Health in 2012. Today the company is valued at over $2 billion, and Turner can’t imagine ever leading a company that doesn’t have a purpose beyond ma king money.Turner explained that the company’s mission isn’t just pushing him and Weinberg to work harder. “Everything’s easier,” he said. When you have passion for what you’re doing, he explained, top talent and investors are drawn to your company.This article first appeared on Business Insider.

Improved self-awareness can make you a better leader

Improved self-awareness can make you a better leader Improved self-awareness can make you a better leader Most leaders believe they know themselves much better than they actually do. That’s the problem with self-awareness?- It has several benefits, but few people enjoy them.Self-awareness has a more positive impact on your leadership ability than an MBA. Self-awareness is directly correlated with team performance, according to another study. A high level of self-awareness not only contributes to career success and effective leadership?- ?it also improves your bottom line.Yet self-awareness seems to be in short supply. A global study by the Hay Group showed that 19 percent of women executives demonstrated self-awareness, compared to 4 percent of their male counterparts.Self-awareness can be developed but is anything but easy.It requires us to be brave and vulnerable to face what we ‘don’t know we don’t know’ about ourselves. We must dig deeper than we are used to?- ?personality assessments, EQ tests, or 360 assessments, to name a few?- ?just scratch the surface.We tend to overin tellectualize how we approach emotions-management at work. Improving self-awareness is an emotional journey?- ?a tough and rewarding one. Here are some recommendations based on my research and consulting.1. Own  ItMost leaders have a hard time being vulnerable in front of their teams. Behind the scenes, they are okay confiding with me?- ?they open up and share their fears and doubts. But, once they are ‘on stage,’ they filter their emotions and feelings.That’s a huge paradox. Not only because being vulnerable sets the right example, but also because people already know what their leaders try to hide.Our society idealizes leaders; we’ve turned into superheroes. It’s natural to think we must perform to fill those expectations?- ?everyone feels forced to be flawless, not human.People already know your flaws and weaknesses?- ?they see more than you think. There’s no point in hiding who you are. Own it!There are two types of self-awareness, according to organizational psychol ogist Tasha Eurich: Internal and External. Internal self-awareness means we can clearly see our own values, passions, thoughts, feelings, and emotions. External self-awareness is clearly seeing how others see us.“Self-awareness isn’t one truth. It’s a delicate balance of two distinct, even competing, viewpoints.”?- ?Tasha EurichTo be a great leader, internal self-awareness is not enough; you must manage both?- ?actively work on both seeing yourself clearly and getting feedback to understand how others see you.Power blind us, as I wrote here. Seek honest feedback from loving critics; avoid those who praise or hate you.2. Make Time for  PracticeSelf-awareness is a continuous discipline. Practice helps you improve; when we stop practicing, we lose self- knowledge.Most teams I work with have a hard time dealing with change. Their leaders are frustrated by the resistance from their teams. However, there’s a common theme: companies expect people to embrace change, but they don†™t prepare them to be more open to experimentation.In most disciplines, people rehearse before they perform in real life. Artists and athletes practice most of their time and then play. In the world of business is the other way around?- ?people are playing constantly and leave little room for practice.If you want your team to become more self-aware, you must create space for regular preparation. Self-awareness requires a structured and ongoing practice.3. Don’t Fail Fast, Fail  SmartMistakes are not just important, but a necessary step toward innovation. To get your new product ‘right,’ you have to fail several times first. “Fail fast” has become a motto that can be as dangerous as resisting failure. We shouldn’t celebrate making mistakes, but the lessons.Failing smart means coming away with clarity and wisdom?- ?you’ve learned what works and what doesn’t work.Fail early in the process?- ?you’ll save money and resources. Fail frequently?- ?learn from each iteration . But, fail differently?- ?don’t repeat the same mistake, make new ones. Don’t fail until you make it?- ?sometimes, you just have to give up and move on to a different initiative.To fail smart requires having perspective?- ?learn from present mistakes, but also to observe things through times.Peter Drucker wrote, “Whenever you make a decision or take a key decision, write down what you expect will happen. Nine or 12 months later, compare the results with what you expected.” He called this self-reflection process feedback analysis and believed it was the only way to discover our strengths.4. Lead In WhitewaterSelf-awareness increases confidence?- ?we become comfortable with being uncomfortable. An uncertain and fast-changing reality requires leaders to think on their feet. That’s critical to thriving in permanent whitewater.In his book Managing as a Performing Art, Peter Vaill introduces an interesting metaphor for the change, uncertainty, and turbulence that characterizes most business environments: permanent whitewater. Most managers are taught that leading is like paddling a canoe on a calm lake?- ?they can go where they want and always be in control. Disruptions are seen as temporary?- ?they’ll be soon back in a calm lake.However, as the author explains, we never get out of the rapids; we are continually experiencing upset and chaos. To lead in permanent whitewater, we must adapt, improvise and experiment. Increased self-awareness helps leaders to effectively deal with reality rather than fighting uncertainty.As Peter Drucker said, “The greatest danger in times of turbulence is not the turbulence; it is to act with yesterday’s logic.”5. Make Your Team  AwareEffective leaders are not just self-aware; they promote that same practice within their teams. There’s no point having some members with high self-awareness and others that are clueless. The biggest challenge is understanding that this practice cannot be forced. The more you push peop le, the more they will shut down emotionally.Start small by creating self-awareness rituals. Initially, it’s more important to make people feel comfortable than to make real progress. If it happens, great. But creating a habit matters more than changing everyone overnight.Team awareness is critical to improving collective performance. Teams with high self-awareness make better decisions, interact better with each other, and manage tensions and conflicts more effectively.Understanding how you operate collectively is the key benefit of team awareness?- ?you try to uncover the collective blind spots, not just individual ones.Team retrospectives are an effective way to reflect on how your team is playing and how to improve its game. Usually, retrospectives are based on a specific project. Either reserve some time to reflect on the overall mindsets and behaviors or hold a retrospective that is not project-based but team-focused.A team offsite is an excellent option to spend time togeth er, to know each other better, reflect on how the team is collaborating, and experiment with new mindsets and ways of working. Remember, making room for practice is essential to improve self-awareness both individually and collectively.Developing accountability duos, mapping the strength of team relationships, acknowledging one’s kryptonite and superpowers, or promoting ongoing feedback are effective practices for people to understand the team better.Turn self-awareness into a collective journey?- ?let the whole team experience the transformation together.There Are No ShortcutsSelf-awareness is not a magical solution, but it can make a difference.An MIT study showed how improves self-awareness has help CEOs learn to identify their outlier tendencies and adjusted their behavior to change perception. They didn’t undergo an entire personality overhaul though but learned how to be themselves in a wiser way.Increased self-awareness is about becoming the perfect leader, but to know ho w to use?- ?or not?- ?certain aspects to your advantage.No matter how much progress you make, there’s always more to learn about yourself. Being self-aware is a journey, not a status.We are all more unaware than unaware. To lead others, we must learn to lead ourselves first.This article was originally published by Medium.

Why Soft and Hard Skills Are So Important for Your Resume

Why Soft and Hard Skills Are So Important for Your Resume Why Soft and Hard Skills Are So Important for Your Resume Why Soft and Hard Skills Are So Important for Your Resume Many job candidates make mistakes when it comes to defining hard and soft skills for their resumes. Some of the more common missteps include leaving out soft skills altogether, defining skills in terms that don't carry much meaning to the employer and choosing the wrong skills to list. Compound these mistakes with other oversights like failing to organize the resume skills section in a way that highlights your candidacy, and it's easy to see why so many applications end up at the bottom of the pile. Crafting your resume to sail past the keyword-searching robots (ATS) and fast-scanning hiring managers is the key reason to pay attention to the skills section. Even if your candidacy has the benefit of a personal introduction by an insider, your resume and your hard and soft skills still need to stand on their own. If you are ready to take a good look at maximizing the impact of the resume skills section, here is your primer. Begin by defining our terms Since hard or technical skills are easiest to define, let us begin there. In general, hard skills deal with your technical knowledge and ability. Bookkeeping, data analysis, programming in a specific language, and hands-on familiarity with employment law are all examples of hard skills. Effective use of hard skills is consistent between companies. In other words, the working knowledge of accounting pronouncements and IRS rules is the same no matter which CPA firm you choose to work for. Soft skills deal with your emotional intelligence, personal attributes and temperament traits. Conflict de-escalation, communication skills, building relationships and working with cross-functional teams are examples of soft skills. The specifics of applying soft skills for maximum impact vary from company to company because of the broad diversity in cultures, acceptable practices, and personal fit. There is a common misconception that hard skills are learned from books and soft skills are learned on the job. I disagree with that. In my experience, both hard and soft skills can be learned and refined in a formal setting (educational courses, training seminars, books or instructional videos) and through hands-on practice on the job. I believe that professionals can be naturally talented at both hard and soft skills and that they can improve both by seeking development opportunities and feedback. Resume skills section: A quick refresher The resume skills section is typically located towards the top or the bottom of your resume. This is your opportunity to outline key knowledge and experience areas where you have demonstrated proficiency. HR professionals, hiring managers and the ATS all scan this section to quickly determine whether you have the background of a candidate who fits the job description. Get this section right, and you will get past the gatekeepers and win the opportunity to make your case in person. The first test for making sure your resume makes the cut is by creating alignment between the skills listed on your resume and those required by the job description. Be sure that the alignment is not in spirit alone. Use the employer's language and pay attention to the choice of words so that you can mirror them on your resume. This step is simple if you have a well-written and complete job description as part of the position posting. If you are not starting from a sufficiently detailed job description, consider reaching out to the employer to request one. While you can use similar job descriptions from other companies to identify patterns and pick up keywords that would make your case more effective, I do not recommend that as a replacement for a missing or inadequate job description. Keep in mind that if a company struggles to provide you with a clear job description, it could be an indication that the company has poorly defined job responsibilities and vague professional standards. 4 questions to ask yourself to maximize the impact of your resume's skills section With the basic alignment taken care of, here are four additional questions to ask yourself if you want to maximize the impact of the skills featured on your resume. #1: Are my listed skills up-to-date? Many of us are guilty of allowing months or even years lapse between resume updates. As a result, I often see candidates leave out recent training, coursework, and projects that could make their candidacy stronger. You may find that flipping through your calendar is a good way to capture all continuing professional educational classes, seminars and conferences that have advanced your technical skills. If you have presented a technical update at a recent professional event, include that as well. Sometimes, intense client and personal commitments can keep professionals from investing time in personal development. If you find that you are missing key industry knowledge, use this opportunity to catch up. #2: Do the skills paint a picture that is uniquely mine? A complaint that I hear frequently from job seekers is that their resume skills section is too generic. Anyone from my industry could list those same skills, they remark. What good is a skills list if it does not help me stand out? That is a fair point. If you are concerned that your listed skills are identical to those of your peers, dig deeper to find a take that is uniquely yours. Perhaps you have worked or volunteered in another industry or country an experience that equipped you with a perspective and a set of insights that aren't common. Sometimes, cross-functional experiences can allow you to present the same skills in a different light. You might find that soft skills, in particular, can help you round out the presentation. For example, while most candidates for an accounting manager position have familiarity with the same set of technical guidelines and rules, you may bring in a unique experience because you have helped a company comply with a new regulation in record time. That example can demonstrate your ability to learn technical guidance quickly, manage yourself and others under pressure and identify pivotal change and risk points for maximum impact in the shortest time. #3: Are the skills on my resume presented in a way that is easy to scan and digest? A disorganized resume skills section is a major pain point for hiring managers and HR professionals. To make an otherwise long and varied list more user-friendly, consider grouping similar skills together. If the list still seems unwieldy, break it up into sub-sections for hard skills and soft skills. Keep in mind that the resume skills section is only effective if the reader can get the information he or she needs from it. #4: Can I support key hard and soft skills with stories and examples? This question goes beyond the resume, although adding some qualifiers to the resume skills section is a good step. If you have wooed four national accounts to join the customer list in the last year, trained 25 interns on the use of the company-specific methodology or presented 10 sales pitches with a 100 percent close rate, numbers and details can add color to an otherwise dry list. As you prepare for your interviews, make sure you can support every critical hard and soft skill with an example or a story that demonstrates your proficiency and effectiveness. Which skills do you need examples for? That is a great question. The specific list will vary by industry, but you will have a good starting point if you can highlight the top five skills that trend across several similar position descriptions. Be sure that you have covered both hard and soft skills for a well-rounded presentation. Resume hard and soft skills: An art and a science. While there are best practices and common industry approaches to maximizing your resume skills section, getting the language just right requires a mix of art and science. I recommend that you experiment with different combinations and formats to see if certain words and organizational methods prove more effective than others. Making the cut requires you to both fit in and stand out a tough balancing act that can be accomplished with some research and practice. Want to see how your resume stacks up?

Discover Future Tech Jobs

Discover Future Tech Jobs Discover Future Tech Jobs A long-held fear of the general public about new technology is that it will replace human jobs. The truth is, even as the latest tech tools and techniques edge out certain kinds of positions, emerging science is creating new tech jobs in the technology arena. According to Michael Jones, an assistant professor of economics at the University of Cincinnati, research bears out this assertion, as well as recent history. “[A] focus on technology’s substitutionary (or replacement) role fails to appreciate how it can also be complementary,” writes Jones in The Washington Post. “Job loss in some occupations will certainly continue, but it will be accompanied by gains in different fields, just as in the past.” From the Internet of Things (IoT) and wearables to 3D printing and self-driving cars, the most recent innovations in science and technology are leading to a plethora of new opportunities. Whether you’re a job candidate conducting your own search for an IT position or a hiring manager on the lookout for top talent, here is a roundup of 10 of the hottest new types of IT jobs being created - or to be created - that will shape the industry’s future. IoT jobs The Internet of Things - in which everyday objects have network connectivity that gives them the ability to both send and receive data - has already caused significant disruption of the job market on a worldwide scale. As related technologies continue to evolve and mature, new skill sets will be in demand as older jobs morph into high-tech gigs. Just a few of the possibilities for new and expanding roles in IoT include: 1. Head of IoT. A senior-level leader who manages the transition to IT initiatives and then oversees subsequent corporate IoT initiatives 2. IoT software engineer. A professional engineer with a background in software development and expertise in cutting-edge IoT offerings, eco-systems and protocols, as well as messaging systems and cloud/web technologies 3. E-discovery investigators. A specialized investigator who can uncover, collect and analyze data from electronic devices in the world of IoT, where connected devices are all uniquely identifiable Additionally, millions of developers in IoT will be needed by 2020, creating expanded opportunities for tech jobs for developers who innovate on products from asthma inhalers to basketballs, and on services from counting pests to measuring radiation. Wearable technology jobs Wearables are poised to transform the growth and development of tech jobs. Researchers are exploring a wide range of practical uses for wearable technology, from improving customer relationships and productivity to solving problems in food safety and seeking a cure for cancer. As wearables grow in popularity and the IoT continues to expand across sectors, fresh new job titles may include: 4. Wearable technology implementation manager. A tech-savvy IT project manager specializing in wearables implementation who focuses on implementing wearables information systems into business environments, and overseeing wearables projects to ensure that they stay on budget and meet timing guidelines. 5. Wearable technology/IoT trainer. An IT trainer who ideally has firsthand experience developing products and services in wearables and IoT and specializes in training and certification in this emerging field 6. Wearable technology/IoT-specific engineer. A credentialed engineer wit additional expertise in the areas most likely to affect a wearable product (sensors, signal processing, etc) Healthcare also presents ample opportunity for new IT jobs to emerge in this space - for example experts on certain health conditions who additionally understand wearable technology will be in a better position to create digital devices and services tailored to help patients with those conditions. 3D printing jobs While the explosive growth of 3D printing has led to job losses in the retail and manufacturing sectors, this wave of innovation is also creating many entirely new job categories including: 7. 3D modeling artist. A new type of computer graphics artist who specializes in 3D modeling to develop mathematical representations of 3D surfaces of objects 8. CAD technical writer. A programmer or technical writer who develops the scripts needed as the CAD software market heats up from the expansion of 3D printing Self-driving car jobs A look at Google’s recent job ads for its new self-driving car company gives a hint of the wave of future IT jobs in this market segment: 9. Robotics software engineer. A Masters-level researcher/software engineer with a background in hands-on robotics research, data structures and advanced algorithms who uses these skills to transform mobility in the field of autonomous vehicles 10. Manufacturing process engineer. A skilled engineer who is involved in designing factory assembly stations and automating manufacturing processes for the self-driving car When it comes to new tech jobs, these 10 new job titles are just the tip of the iceberg. The maker movement (independent designers and inventors), robotics, battery technology and other scientific advances are adding other new IT positions into the mix. The bottom line is that emerging science is transforming jobs, not replacing them. Andrew Moore, Carnegie Mellon’s dean of the school of computer science, told WIRED that he “has seen no evidence that this technology is stealing jobs - and that, as time goes on, it will likely create an enormous number of jobs.” To accommodate these technical advances and stay current, smart candidates and companies alike will take note as early in the game as possible by gearing up to take full advantage of these emerging career opportunities.

Add Privacy to Your Office Cubicle With 4 Easy Steps

Add Privacy to Your Office Cubicle With 4 Easy Steps Add Privacy to Your Office Cubicle With 4 Easy Steps Just about everyone wants a big office with nice furniture and an appealing view out panoramic windows, but few people get one. The standard workspace in the government sector is  a cubicle, and they can rarely be described as big. A cubicle usually comes equipped with  cheap furniture, and it seldom offers a window- with or without a nice view.  Cubicles can best be described as semi-private. Co-workers generally have to make an effort to look into each others’ cubicles, but they can often catch peripheral glimpses as they pass by. Noises and smells are completely public, so flatulence and reheated salmon become everyone’s business.So how do you make a semi-private workspace a little more private? Try some of these ideas 01 Face Your Monitor Away From the EntranceYour computer monitor shows everyone what you’re doing, whether its a legitimate business or something personal. Face it away from the entrance if you want to avoid having others eye whats on there.  Your cubicle might  be designed to have the computer placed in the corner opposite the entrance, so its possible that youll have  to get a little creative with your monitor’s placement. A new arrangement might make working a little uncomfortable, so you have to decide as to whats more important to you: ergonomics or a little privacy.     02 Place a Mirror So You Can See Behind YouNo matter where you sit in your cubicle, something is going to be behind you. Ideally, its a file cabinet, not an unwanted visitor.  If you want to avoid unwanted surprises, place a mirror somewhere on your desk or wall where it lets you easily see behind you. This is especially important if your back is to the entrance. Your cubicle should be inviting to visitors, but you don’t want them startling you and you dont want to be unaware if theyre  unobtrusively checking out what youre doing each time they drop in on you.       03 Use a Headset for Conference Calls and WebinarsUsing a headset for conference calls and webinars serves two purposes. First, it prevents you from using the speakerphone feature on your desk phone. It  maintains the privacy of your call’s content, and it prevents you from annoying your neighbors  with long, distracting phone calls.  Another good reason to use a headset is to save you from holding the phone’s handset to your head for extended periods of time on long or multiple calls. Think how comfortable that will be.   04 Make Personal Calls From Another AreaJust about everyone has a cell phone so its easy to divert personal calls away from your business line. If you have to make a personal call while youre at work, duck into a conference room or a vacant hallway. Your neighbors wont get to speculate about your next visit to the doctor, your automobile repair or your handyman service. They don’t need to know that you bickered with your spouse over breakfast or that your son is in danger of flunking math- and in many cases, particularly with supervisors, they don’t want to know.     05 It Doesn't Require Anything DrasticSure, you can drape your cubicle in a giant, oversize sheet or move that file cabinet in front of the door opening, but you dont want to come off as antisocial and youll still need to get in and out of your workspace yourself. A few simple fixes and some rearranging should make life in a cubicle bearable, if not desirable. Make do while you have to and keep working away. Someday that corner office might be yours, breathtaking views and all.
