Young Lawyers Dont Screw Up Your Career
Developing the Next Generation of Rainmakers Young Lawyers: Donât Screw Up Your Career Abby Gordon is one of my Lateral Link colleagues who works in the Lateral Link New York office. She has great ideas for young lawyers and Iâve asked her to share those ideas in a series of blog posts. In this post, Abby shares the first 14 of 25 things to know to not screw up your law career. Next week I will publish the last 11 things. I was a paralegal before law school. I took four years between undergrad and law school, so I knew a herd of practicing lawyers when I was still applying to law school. I thought I had a leg up on everyone; I thought I had it all figured out. But in hindsight, I realize that there was a lot I did not knowâ"not in law school and not as I made my way through seven years as an associate with a top international law firm. Now as a legal recruiter, I see associates making the same mistakes over and over. I wish law schools would do a better job of preparing students for the practicalities of the legal industry and not just teach the substance of the law. But until they do, here is my list of key points to understand and mistakes to avoid⦠Law School & Gearing Up for Practice 1. First-year grades are what matter for securing a summer associate position that will hopefully lead to a more permanent associate position. But for anyone who may look to lateral to another firm or go in-house eventually (and that is most of you!), second- and third-year law school grades do countâ"a lot. This is especially true for litigators in todayâs market. Grades follow you around, so finish strong. 2. Check out bar requirements in advance for any state you might want to waive into eventually. 3. If you want to become a litigator, strongly consider doing a federal clerkship. This is especially important if you may want to work at a litigation boutique one day. If you are a corporate associate, no one cares if you have done a clerkship. Picking Your Law Firm 4. Law firm prestige does matter. It is certainly not the only consideration, but to lateral to another firm or move to a company, it is very important. You may get much better hands-on experience and training at a smaller firm, but prospective employers usually do not see it this way. 5. It is extremely difficult to switch practice areas once you start. Pick practice area wisely, based on your personality: ⢠You have to like what you do! Do you enjoy the substance of the work in that field of law? ⢠Keep in mind lifestyle factors when picking your practice area. Some areas have a steadier and more predictable flow of work whereas others have a very unpredictable workflow. ⢠Certain practice areas attract certain personalities more than others. You may not want to go into litigation, for example, if you do not deal well with aggressive personalities. 6. â¦Based on your academic background: Be sure you have the right background to progress in your practice area. If you have no finance or accounting background or aptitude, corporate work may not be your best option. If you do not have a hard sciences/engineering/computer science background (preferably an advanced degree), think twice about doing science-related intellectual property work. You may be able to get your foot in the door without the science background, but it will be difficult to advance down the road. 7. â¦Based on geographic factors: Do (U.S.-trained) lawyers do this sort of work where I want to live? For example, if you want to move to a smaller city one day, capital markets may not be the best option. But if you want to work overseas one day, strongly consider capital markets over other practice areas. 8. â¦Based on market considerations: Understand the current market and think about where you see the economy heading. I would hesitate to pick a specialty that is very dependent on market conditions. 9. â¦Based on your future goals: Some practice areas lend themselves better to going in-house one day, to going into the government, to setting up shop as a solo practitioner, or to working out a part-time arrangement one day. To the extent you know where you want to end up five, 10, or 15 years down the road, pick carefully today. Again, I cannot stress enough how difficult it is to switch practice areas once you start. 10. Understand the various structures of law firms. It may not be a crucial factor for young associates, but you should at least be aware of the differences and the pros and cons of each. For example, lockstep firms may foster more cooperation and less competition among partners but tend to have more institutional clients and may not encourage the more junior associates to learn business development skills. If you enjoy the business side of being part of a law firm and you think you will have an aptitude for business/client development, consider a firm with a two-tier partnership track (income partners and equity partners), where you may have a better shot at proving your worth as a business-building partner. Law Firm Life 11. Do not trust your firm to manage your professional development. They will not. It is not that they are necessarily being shortsighted or indifferent to your wellbeing, but the reality is that the firmâs priorities are probably not 100% aligned with yours. Perhaps law firms should take greater care in the long-term professional development of their associates (who may be future clients). But until they do, associates must take control of their own professional trajectories, become aware of their options, and⦠12. â¦Do not succumb to inertia. Think about next steps early and often. Whether or not you are happy where you are or looking to make a move, make every choice an affirmative choice. Do not just sit back and let your career drive itself. Take control. Take in information whenever you can. Be aware of your options. 13. Keep up on the latest firm and industry news. It is too easy to get absorbed in your immediate work and neglect the bigger picture. Stay on top of which practice areas are hot and which are not. Keep aware of how well your firm is doing. 14. Knowledge of the law is only one side of being an effective and successful lawyer. You must learn the business side of the legal industry as well. Business development is key to law firm survival. The ability to bring in clients is a key element of making partner and making a livelihood as a partner. Unfortunately, many firms fail miserably at teaching you the fundamentals of client development and encouraging this practice. So be prepared to teach yourself if need be. I practiced law for 37 years developing a national construction law practice representing some of the top highway and transportation construction contractors in the US.

9 Ways To Prepare For The Job Interview
9 ways to prepare for the job interview This is not your ordinary career site. I help the corporate worker who toils away in the company cubicle make career transitions. You want to do your job well, following all the rules -- . The career transitions where I can help you center on three critical career areas: How to land a job, succeed in a job, and build employment security. Top 10 Posts on Categories Iâve written a lot on about interview questions. What Iâd like to do is go through how to prepare for a face-to-face interview. Here are nine practical ways to prepare for the interview. Usually, the only concrete evidence you have for a job is the job description. Now, there are plenty of poor job descriptions out there (must know Microsoft Office, must be a self-starter, blah, blah, blah), but the description is a good place to start. What you want to do with the job description is to match your job skills with the job description. This is to show the hiring manager that you have the skills to do the job. If the job description says you need to have managed energy projects for the last three years, you need to write the energy projects youâve done over the last three years so can quickly talk about the projects and your role in them during the interview. When you find items in the job description that donât necessarily match your job skills, write what skills are similar to the ones asked for on the job description. No one has 100% of the job skills necessary to do a particular job; your work here is to get you as close as possible. Standard advice here. If you donât know what the company does, what itâs products are and who their customers are, you wonât relate your work to the company. Plus, it will be a clear sign to the hiring manager that you havenât done your homework. Having similar products or the same customers in your earlier work will tell the hiring manager that your ramp up time on the job will most likely be less than someone without a similar background. My father was an attorney and I have this little saying on my desk: A good lawyer knows the law; a great lawyer knows the judge. Itâs great to know the company; itâs better to also know the interviewing manager. Now, a great many pundits suggest that it is great to throw out things you know about the hiring manager during the interview, but I donât advocate it. The reason? Itâs too tempting â" and easy â" to come off like an online stalker to the hiring manager. And, you might get the wrong person with the same name and look like a total fool. Instead of spouting off all the online facts you know, use the information to start determining what you have in common with the hiring manager. In the interview, you bring up what you think of as the common interest and see if the hiring manager picks up on it. Whether the hiring manager mentions it or not, you still can set a point of commonality during the interview. So donât stalk. Practice, practice, practice. Your answer to every interview question should show either your job skills, your reasons for wanting the position, or how well you work with others because that is what the hiring manager is ultimately looking to find. And you need to show your accomplishments by using numbers, reports or statements to help prove your accomplishment. We donât talk like that. Which is why you need to practice. You should have goals for this position. Sure, it may be simply to get the job so that you can survive, but once you have the job, you will want to do something with the work. What will those accomplishments be? And can the job offer them? Consequently, you want to come out of the interview knowing a few things. Can you work with the team? Can you work with the manager? Is the work going to be challenging? Easy? Hard? Looking at the job description and knowing the environment that you work best should give you the starting points for your planned questions to ask the hiring manager. Everyone says âbe on time,â but that is actually poor advice. If itâs a large corporation housed in a 40-story building, itâs going to take time to find parking, get in line at the security desk, time for the person to descend the elevator from the 30th floor to come and get you. And all that is beyond the time it takes to commute to the site. The commute can take 50-minutes if you need to go during rush hour or 20-minutes if it is in the middle of the day. Practicing a one-time commute during the time frame of your interview will give you more confidence simply because you have done it once already. And gauge how long it will take once you get to the building to find parking, get to the right floor, and all the other logistics. Iâm not one to set standards, for sure. But off the top, if your interview is in a law firm, you better wear something equivalent to a suit. If itâs a corporation or a place that has uniforms (like a hospitalâ¦), you need to wear business casual. Iâm not an advocate of showing up in a suit for an interview when the standard in the company is casual. It makes you look like youâre trying too hard or canât read the crowd right or, most importantly, you wonât fit in with the team. I always ask what the âdress codeâ is and wear a suit if it is suits and business casual if it is anything else. But dressing sloppy, or not hitting the dress code, or not looking like your shirts have ever been ironed will hurt you. Who knows how many people you end up interviewing with? Maybe the Vice President of the division happens to come into the office while you are interviewing. Wouldnât it look like poor planning if you werenât able to give a resume? Yes. The more people who have your resume in a company, the better. During the interview, you will want to take notes. It will help you later when you are relating the interview to your partner and friends and can help with building follow-up questions for a second interview later. There is a difference between nerves and energy. And itâs tough to find the right amount. But too many people shut down the natural energy they have during an interview and it comes across to the hiring manager as you being bored. Or not interested in the job. Or not willing to learn. All bad. I relate it to the energy and curiosity you bring when you are interested in something new. There is a sense of curiosity and questioning and starting with a âbeginnerâs mindâ when you find something new that interests you. That is the energy to bring to the interview. The energy shows you interest in life. All you can do is prepare well for the interview and then use that preparation well during the interview. The reasons for hiring or not hiring someone for a particular job are so varied and changeable over time that thinking you have something nailed or not isnât worth the worry. What is worth the worry is ensuring youâve done a first class preparation for the interview.

How Do We Choose the Right One for the Job
How Do We Choose the Right One for the Job Get the best fit: How Do We Choose the Right One for the Job? During recruitment, once weve narrowed down the choice of candidates for the post that we want filled, we often face the challenge of choosing between one who has years of experience, one who has attained an outstanding degree, or one who was just perfect during the interview, or one who has a number of achievements in their resume. So, who should we hire? Of course, we dont want to hire someone whoâs not qualified for the position thats why we have to match the skills of the applicants with the duties and responsibilities the position entails to determine if theyâre the one. Who we would want to hire is the person who is most fit for the post. What qualities are we looking for? The right person should have a number of impressive strengths, of course, that would aid the companyâs progress. It would also be an advantage, though, if he had self-recognized weaknesses. These could be seen as an opportunity, not only for the candidate but also for the company. How so? If a candidate recognizes his own weaknesses, then, as they say, knowing is half the battle. He acknowledges that he does not excel in these aspects but would be willing to develop his skills by doing his role for the post. And if a company hires a person who recognizes his own weaknesses, then this would help the company gain employee trust and loyalty by letting them know that they are willing to help employees develop their skills and build their career. It shouldnt always be all stars and medals. When a candidate works for a team, he works together with other people and not only for himself. Every person in a team has their own contribution to making the team, as a whole, excel. If each team member tried to surpass the work that the others have made, then this would not be considered teamwork but a competition, which should definitely not be the case. Each candidates professional character should be taken into consideration as a whole and not just because he had a couple of awards here and there. To sum it all up, the right person to hire is one who has a balanced sense of professionalism, wit, strengths, weaknesses, as well as good manners, especially when it comes to relating to different people and situations.

Mars on Their Minds
Mars on Their Minds Mars on Their Minds Mars on Their Minds The Mars Societys University Rover Challenge leads instructive establishments from around the globe to manufacture Mars meanderers for significant level rivalry. In excess of 60 groups from 12 nations entered in 2016 and generally a large portion of that endure the underlying cut and plunged on the humble community of Hanksville, UT this past June to contend in the field. Among U.S. hopefuls were Yale University, Cornell University, and Washington State University (WSU) North Puget Sound at Everett, which came in just short of the win. The leader of the WSU North Puget Sound building club depicted the meanderer they entered in the Challenge. You realized the meanderer needed to fit through a two-meter wide door yet the primary concern is weight. Its a 50-kg weight limit so there was a major structure challenge when it came to undercarriage and suspension and getting over these stones that are marginal rocks and going down a half-meter and meter drop, says Blaine Liukko, who has a single men degree in mechanical designing from WSU. The primary concern our group did to defeat difficulties was with the utilization of carbon fiber. Janicki Industries gave us carbon fiber boards that we cut with a waterjet and we specially crafted our own wheels out of carbon fiber so we could have lightweight wheels. We were likewise ready to mount engines and apparatus reducers inside the wheels. Thusly, it would help with ground freedom issues. Blaine Liukko with the wanderer that won second spot in the 2016 Mars Rover configuration challenge. They planned their own suspension and every single engine mount were carbon fiber, he says. We did what's needed auxiliary investigation and movement studies to know most extreme powers, he clarifies. We had four wheels on our wanderer and each wheel was controlled freely with a DC engine and a 64-to-1 apparatus reducer. The mechanical paw didnt function admirably with a RC servo, as per Liukko, so they used one with a force screw and an apparatus DC engine, that rigging engine mounted in the paw. The meanderer, at long last, was around three and a half feet wide by four feet in length, all radio controlled. They made the underlying cut, so now it was the ideal opportunity for the subsequent stage. Contending in the Field The main days rivalry results would choose which groups would make the finished edition and perform progressively troublesome assignments, he says. You needed to cross the wanderer over to an assistance station and, utilizing a camera on a mechanical arm, you needed to peruse a bit of paper and it was a numerous decision question, Liukko says. With the automated arm, you needed to pick either an A, B, C, or D switch. There were focuses for having the option to flip the switch and furthermore for having the option to flip the right one. From that point onward, there were various impediments and you even had the test of getting four apparatuses and placing them in an alternate region. We did fine yet observed a few territories for development as far as our profundity discernment, in addition to other things. After the cut was made, the last day comprised of four undertakings, he says. The dirt example part required burrowing and investigation, with Liukkos group exceeding expectations here and winding up with 90 out of 100 focuses. The subsequent errand contained a test of getting a gas can and placing it in a gas tank. The third, another feature for the group, was a traversal task. There were five unique doors to experience and they are all around the Mars scene, he says. We didnt miss a solitary door and didnt leave limits. One entryway was 50 feet up a slope, there was another where you go navigating rocks and stones and youre attempting to do it without leaving limits. The fourth assignment was about space traveler help and included getting devices and getting them to every space traveler. There were a few challenges here yet we had to a lesser degree a difficult getting devices than a decent part of groups, he says. At the point when the conclusive outcomes were reported, Liukko was excited with the runner up finish. Rzeszow University of Technology in Poland stunningly came out ahead of the pack for a second year straight. I figure our group will have returned to attempt to check whether we can improve, Liukko says. The extraordinary thing is we saw territories to gain from. Be that as it may, its in excess of an opposition. The educational experience it provides for understudies before going out into the workforce is unimaginable. Youre given arrangements of undertakings that truly push you and its an incredible inclination to be a piece of likeminded individuals from all around the globe that need to be a piece of this. Eric Butterman is an autonomous author. For Further Discussion It's in excess of an opposition. The beneficial experience it provides for understudies before going out into the workforce is mind boggling. Blaine Liukko, Washington State University North Puget Sound at Everett

When a Recruiter Calls - Walrath Recruiting, Inc.
When a Recruiter Calls - Walrath Recruiting, Inc. When using a recruiting agency during the job seeking process, its important to provide accurate and up-to-date information on a regular basis. Its also important to be aware of this when uploading resumes and cover letters to online resume banks such as Monster.com and CareerBuilder. As long as a job applicant is registered with a recruiting agency, he or she may be contacted at any time regarding a potential job opportunity. Methods of contact may vary, depending on the information a job seeker provides within his/her cover letter or resume. The preferred method of contact for the majority of recruiters is by phone and/or email, though a phone call most often made first. Some things to expect when your phone rings (and a recruiter is on the other end): Youll likely be asked for more information including your ideal career path, current or most recent earnings, expected earnings and location preference. You may also be asked if youre currently employed and what type of position (permanent, contract, etc.) you prefer. When answering these questions, its crucial to provide accurate detail and be as honest as possible. At times, applicants may hold back because theyre unsure of how the recruiting process works, or simply dont feel comfortable answering specific questions. The less information a recruiter has, the more difficult it is to match a seeker with a position; be thorough. If youve registered with an agency, met with a recruiter face to face, and are waiting to hear back regarding potential opportunities, be aware that recruiters are doing their best to find great matches for you (based on the information youve provided.) This could be a quick process, or it could take longer than youd hoped. Regardless, its important to be as patient as possible and when the recruiting agency contacts you with a potential opportunity, ask questions and be honest about how interested you are in what youre hearing. Know your schedule. This is because recruiters contact candidates when a phone, Skype, or in-person interview is in the works with a client. Know when youre available so that interviews can be arranged quickly and easily timing is everything! If you are no longer looking but are contacted by a recruiter, its important to be understanding perhaps you forgot to update your status with the agency, or youve neglected to remove your resume from online resume banks. Once youve updated your status with a recruiting firm, they will no longer contact you. Originally posted on 5/15 @Times Union.

How Flat Characters Are Used in Fiction
How Flat Characters Are Used in Fiction How Flat Characters Are Used in Fiction Level characters-minor figures that assume a supporting job in the story-are utilized to move the plot along, giving unobtrusive article. Such characters don't experience generous change or development over the span of a story. They are otherwise called two-dimensional characters or static characters. While fundamental characters should be trustworthy to the peruser, with a full scope of character characteristics and individual issues uncovered, level characters have a much smaller reason and arent created to a similar degree as a storys hero. Instances of Flat Characters Genuine instances of level characters are Crabbe and Goyle in the Harry Potter arrangement. Telling their backstory, investigating their inspirations, and having them change after some time would make it practically difficult to follow the story bend. As opposed to endeavoring to tissue out these characters, creator J.K. Rowling makes them two-dimensional, or level. Crabbe and Goyle are unintelligent, obsequious devotees important to the plot, yet in any case irrelevant. A progressively exemplary model is the character of Mr. Collins in Jane Austens Pride and Prejudice. He serves an indispensable job in the story for a character who is practically cliché in his affectedness, egocentricity, and class awareness. Mr. Collins is at the focal point of a plot point through which heroes Elizabeth and Darcy get together, giving a vital comic component. Be that as it may, his character remains basically unaltered; indeed, his absence of responsiveness is a piece of what makes him interesting. Making Flat Characters Making level characters is generally simple; the author needs to create them just to the degree that the peruser comprehends that characters relationship to the fundamental characters. Whatever association that minor character has with the primary character should be trustworthy, either pushing the hero toward an objective or hindering him. These figures in your composing are typically conceived of a solitary feeling. A level character who is frightful may urge the hero to be courageous. One who is libertine may cause the principle character to enjoy where she shouldnt. These individuals fill a need in your story, and when the primary characters have various feelings and curves, these characters are consistently steady. Uses in Different Types of Fiction Level characters are a staple of classes that require specific character types, similar to sentiment or youthful grown-up fiction. Ordinarily, the less scholarly the novel, the less you have to mask such characters. A few models: Scarcely any perusers need to see dependably underhanded characters grow a still, small voice or feel coerce because of their activities. Level characters are utilized broadly as thugs who, except if they are one of the key players, never show signs of change. This makes them more clear and gives the peruser an increasingly agreeable feeling of purification when they are along these lines dispatched, as frequently occurs in realistic books, experience stories, and westerns.Readers of arrangement like Twilight pick the following book in the arrangement since they need to return to the characters they know and love. Creators of such arrangement must be mindful so as to abstain from changing their characters too fundamentally and subverting their notoriety. Stock characters, for example, the shrewd guide in the Quest dreams, are planned uniquely to promote the plot by giving basically significant data to the hero. Level characters in the dream class are fittingly called mission suppliers. Should such a character change, that people job in the story would come into question.

Technical Skills Resume Writing Tips
Specialized Skills Resume Writing Tips Step by step instructions to show tech abilities on your IT continue Highlight your tech abilities on your resume so you stick out. Businesses frequently screen applicants dependent on their specialized abilities, so innovation work searchers normally need to ensure they present their aptitudes appropriately. Thus, making the aptitudes segment of an innovation continue area can be a test. So what are specialized abilities, precisely? Specialized abilities, as recorded on a resume, includeprogramming dialects, devices and working frameworks you have a significant level of experience utilizing either through business or something else. Run of the mill continue issues innovation experts grapple with include: Regardless of whether to list aptitudes sequentially or arranged by significance. Regardless of whether to incorporate each skilland how muchdetail to give. Step by step instructions to separate between master information on an innovation with passing commonality. Dont misrepresent One spotters exhortation is straightforward: Dont fixate on the aptitudes segment of your resume to the point of frivolity. In adding an aptitudes segment to their resume, many individuals tend to misrepresent their degree of ability in different advances, says Scott Hajer, senior corporate selection representative for Software Architects. They figure the more watchwords, the more presentation. Such strategies are probably going to reverse discharge, particularly during an innovation prospective employee meet-up. We had an up-and-comer who had a major network on his resume, posting all the aptitudes he had and rating himself on a size of oneto 5 in them, says Hajer. One of the aptitudes was J2EE, with a 3 (for normal capacity) labeled to it. When gotten some information about J2EE, he was unable to try and characterize the term, significantly less discussion about his involvement with it, he says. A few businesses give polls requesting that competitors rate themselves on specific innovation abilities, yet they dont expect such appraisals in a resumes aptitudes area. Keep things straightforward. Signify every innovation ability with the quantity of years ofexperience, orif youre goal on including a rating, use rankings like fledgling, halfway, and master. Abilities and their employments The abilities segment ought to be buttressed with sets of responsibilities specifying how those aptitudes have been utilized in the working environment. For instance, a resume posting Java, Oracle and UML in the aptitudes segment ought to portray how every innovation was utilized on a specific task. Those subtleties give businesses authentic understanding into the profundity of a people information and involvement in those advances. Remain significant Think about these tips: Erase obsolete abilities or those with no significance to the activity youre seeking after. Separate innovation abilities into natural classifications, for example, working frameworks, systems and programming apparatuses. Rundown aptitudes in the request for their pertinence to your target, as opposed to sequentially. On the off chance that youve just read about it in Computerworld or on News.com, dont incorporate it. Resume association Innovation work competitors might need to put the aptitudes segment after the activity objective and before the experience area. Be that as it may, there are exemptions.

5 Factors Millennials Want at Work - But You Dont Have
5 Factors Millennials Want at Work - But You Dont Have Millennials, defined as anyone between ages 18â"34, have been stereotyped as âentitled,â âapatheticâ or âunmotivatedââ"products of an instant gratification culture that touts success without paying dues. However, this assumption doesnât account for the intrinsic expertise and potential that millennials demonstrate when they feel recognized, effective and purposeful. The members of this generation are game-changers, and they often wonât adhere to established business models. Conformity is just not their nature. Still, rather than seeking to understand how millennials function and re-adjust accordingly, most companies enforce the status quoâ"then suffer the ramifications of employee burnout. As the employer, you can sidestep this avoidable trend by introducing changes that engage their untapped skills and interests. And here are some tangible starting points if youâre unsure of how those changes should look. 1. Mentorship over management Traditional hierarchy structures have their role in the office, although not where millennials are concerned. This generation does not respond to a fixed chain-of-command and often interprets that form of stratification as micro-management. In fact, a 2016 job burnout survey found that as employees gain more control over their work, they become happier, reducing burnout. This is especially valuable for millennials, according to Peter Economy, âThe Leadership Guyâ for Inc.com. He explains: Millennials value autonomythey want to be given an assignment and then be trusted to complete it correctly and on time. No one likes to be micromanagedmillennials least of alland doing so is a sure way to lose their loyalty and their engagement. While itâs beneficial to maintain the expectation of authority, millennials are most efficient when a superior coaches them, communicates and offers resources for growth. 2. Impact over income Competitive salaries might recruit millennials to your team initially, but the driving force behind their retention is whether the job creates a sense of purpose. This generation is both informed and enthusiastic about social consciousness, and only 57 percent believe that business leaders are committed to improving society. So what now? âItâs up to company leaders to instill balanced values into the core of the companyâs culture, which consist of the three Pâs: People, Planet and Prosperity,â says Ted Rollins, global eco-preneur recognized by the Inc. 500. Businesses that support human rights, green living, public health, or community activism help millennials find meaning in their work, boosting retention among this age group. Show your support by planning company volunteer daysâ"during the week, on company timeâ"or allowing employees to use an extra PTO day to dedicate time to the cause they care most about. 3. Flexibility over formula A structured work day doesnât work for millennials. In a recent study called Understand a Misunderstood Generation, 59 percent of millennials in North America said that âflexible work hoursâ and âenough leisure time for my private lifeâ were the two most important factors in work-life balanceâ"work-life balance being another millennial driven factor in the modern work world. Ditch that rigidity and empower millennials to finish each assignment on their terms, provided they meet deadlines. A few ideas for making flexible working hours work for your company include: Flex time: A range of starting and stopping times are offered with a mandatory âcoreâ part of the way where everyone is required to be in the office. Compressed work weeks: Employees work 40 hours, but in less than five days. This usually plays out to be four 10-hour work days, with Fridays off. Telecommuting: Employees can work full- or part-time at home, or set one day a week as an all-office work from home day. 4. Connection over contentment âYuppieâ office settings take extreme measures to foster job satisfaction, from on-site meditation circles to boardroom ping-pong tournaments. However, most young employees arenât inclined toward workplace distractions, instead theyâre seeking development opportunities. Donât approach millennials like children needing entertainment; charge them with adult responsibilities, so they feel connected to business goals. Offer more responsibility, bigger projects, and greater opportunities for growth both in and out of the office. For example, instead of bringing games into the office, host a monthly speaker with a different theme each month. This allows employees to learn and grow on the company dime. 5. Integrity over success When Deloitte asked millennials: âWhat are the most important values a business should follow if it is to have long-term success?â They had a clear answer. âThey responded that businesses should put employees first, and they should have a solid foundation of trust and integrity. Customer care and high-quality, reliable products also ranked relatively high in importance,â explains Deloitte. Only 5 percent noted profit-focused values are important for long-term success. To avoid issues with the millennials in your company, be transparent in your business goals and involve employees in developing them. Make employees important, ensuring their comfort and happiness within the companyâ"after all, without them, you donât have much of a company. Millennials may get a bad reputation, but their attention to detail, desire to make a difference, and need for more personal time simply reflects the world they live in. Take this into account if youâre struggling to keep millennials on board. A few small changes could go a long way in impressing this age group and boosting loyalty.

5 Ways to Grow Your Personal Brand on the Job - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career
5 Ways to Grow Your Personal Brand on the Job - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career Personal branding is not just for job seekers. If you want to position yourself for future success, itâs only logical to continue building and maintaining your personal brand on the job, too. Josh Hyatt, a writer for Forbes, once wrote, âsuccessful employees working at large companies desperately need to create a âbrand within a brand,â a professional passport that travels with them from place to place.â Growing oneâs personal brand needs to be about developing yourself, not promoting yourself. You can do so by highlighting special strengths and being a team player adding value to your current company while simultaneously letting you transition into the next one, Hyatt says. Adding value Become an intrapreneur. Diving into intrapreneurship is a great way to build your brand, and, possibly, create something amazing in the process. Intrapreneurship allows you to be creative and pursue an idea from within your current company, often using the companyâs resources to do so. Did you know that many of todayâs great ideas came from intrapreneurship? Among them: Post-It Notes, Sony Playstation, and customer frequency cards. Take the lead on a project. Volunteering to head up a major task or new project not only helps position you as a leader within the organization, but also allows you to work with the individuals within your department in a small group setting. Help to delegate responsibilities and keep the project moving forward. Help others in times of need. Good karma is something that you should always aim for in your career. You have special strengths and skills that others may not possessâ"use those to help others out when they need it: if theyâre struggling on a task, need to miss work for personal reasons, etc. Itâs likely their special skills and strengths will eventually be something youâre in need of, so start the good karma rolling and get ahead of the game. Pipe up with fresh ideas. Sometimes, especially in large workplaces, it can be difficult to share your thoughts and ideas with your team or department. You may not have time to do so, or you may feel like your idea isnât worthy of sharing. However, because each person perceives situations and tasks slightly differently from others, your ideas may be just what is necessary to move forward with a projectâ"so donât silence yourself before anyone has a chance to hear them! Strive to impress. Sometimes, when you get comfortable in a job, it can be easy to settle into a routine and forget about thinking outside of it. But itâs important â" for your brandâs and the companyâs sake â" to always strive to do more. Come up with new ideas, implement a better way of doing something, etc. People will notice, and your brand will thank you! How do you grow your brand on the job? Author: Heather R.

Let Your Light Shine - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career
Let Your Light Shine - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career My friend refers to the moment a new idea is born as the âah-ha momentâ. All new business begins with that special inspiration. Think about the light-bulb, Henry Fords first car, or more recently, recycling. Through the ages, the public initially deemed these novel ideas to be nuts. But the inventors kept on forging forward. Years ago, many of us were deemed ridiculous upon announcing our intentions of moving to the brand new Silicon Valley. Years later, we heard Apple Computer dismissed as a wannabe. It was said it would never go anywhere. Now Im betting the people who made the pronouncement are sorry they didnt buy stock in the company! You have to believe in yourself Through the years I have met many highly successful people who said their biggest battle was not letting the naysayers win. The first person who has to believe 100% in your business effort is you. So the questions become: 1. What do you believe? As an experienced salesperson, I can tell you that the moment there was a single doubt about the people, the process or the technology behind what I was supposed to sell, I stopped in my tracks. As a business owner, it becomes an immense responsibility to be certain everything works upfront as promised. 2. What do you want? You will be extremely lucky to never encounter another who says, âthat wonât workâ! Examine your priorities and goals. What would you truly like to achieve regardless of the learning curve? Are you willing to pursue it no matter the unforeseen setbacks or remarks of others? In its infancy, Apple Computer was a partnership between Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak. It dissolved. Jobs went elsewhere only to return a few years later. Wozniak left, Jobs became CEO, and redesigned his vision for Apple Computer. The journey and the process were difficult, but in the end, Apple became a recognizable force. Are you willing to risk the bumps in the road to get to your destination? 3. How will you get there? Do you need a team of people in place or will you be in charge of everything initially? This topic requires consideration. Last week I received a recommendation of groups to contact for our âBe Inspired to Get HIRED!â event on April 27. In my reply, I stated that I look forward to making the calls. An email returned within seconds exclaiming I should hire the calls out, as my time would be better spent creating more content. For most people, the recommendation might be true. Perhaps calling cold is not your favorite thing to do either. I happen to enjoy it immensely as I usually make good new friends in the process. Business is likely to come from the connections, not just for the one event but for future ones too. It would be detrimental for me to hire this out. The point is, only you truly know where you need the most help, and thatâs where you should seek it. While your roadmap will change through the years, have a starting plan with flexibility built into it. Remember, itâs your roadmap, not that of someone else. Own it. This is your personal brand. Embracing these concepts and working each and every day toward your vision will steer you to the Smooth Sale!

4 Tips of Career Advice For Young People To Succeed In Any Job
4 Tips of Career Advice For Young People To Succeed In Any Job When you want to be a superstar at work, these 4 acts of work will not go unnoticed. Make sure that noticing is for all the good reasons. This post is sponsored by SecureTheJob. The first community platform where users share job-specific career advice. Career Advice for young people does not end when you find a job. It only transforms from basic to advanced level of career advice. When you are in a job and realise there are hundreds of other people just like you who want to progress their careers, it can be a difficult realisation. Ive got some career advice for young people who are in jobs but wondering what can one do to further their career. When you start working, you will be given small tasks to see how you cope before entrusting you with a larger piece of work. Its these small tasks and how you do them that defines how you progress. 1. Focus on delivery Heres one piece of career advice for young people, focus on delivering what you are expected to deliver. A business makes money on what it ships outta the door / service it provides / software it sells / advice it gives and for all of this, you have to deliver to the customer. Focus on delivering your piece of work in a timely manner. If you can deliver your small / big task in time, it will help the overall project. And eventually affects the bottom line of the business. 2. Do what you said you will do, when you said you will do This ties into the delivery bit remember to always do what you promised to do. Your boss, she will be expecting and scheduling rest of the work on timescales youve given her. It is important to be that person who is known to deliver when he promises he will deliver. This isnt just career advice for young people, this should be part of your DNA. Always do what you promised you will do. It can be easy to look at small tasks and think you will deliver 2 big tasks and not do one small task. No. If you said you will do all three tasks at work by x date, then do them. You need to become the employee that can be trusted to deliver in a timely manner, when promised. 3. Dont surprise your manager and never a bad surprise Ive rarely seen a manager say shes pleasantly surprised by any work. Its either a good bonus to finish earlier or deliver more than promised or its a bad surprise / shock of it not being done at all. This piece of career advice for young people is often overlooked as they try to postpone the bad news as much as possible. Look, there are times when you may be struggling and know that you cannot deliver to the time scale. In that event, let your manager know as soon as possible. She will be more appreciative if she knows well in advance what to expect, than get a surprise on the day before the project is due for completion. Nobody likes a bad surprise and make sure you are not the person constantly giving these bad surprises. Let your manager know about any slippages or delays in advance, and she may be able to help or even support you by offering additional resource to the project. 4. Career advice for young people think about your career! Huh? What? Ofcourse I think about my career. I want to become a team leader in 2 years and then a manager in 5 years. I will work hard and work my way up the ladder. Ive already thought about my career. If thats what youve thought for your career, then we have a problem. When you start working, nobody is going to spoon feed you with career advice. You need a Individual Development Plan (IDP). It does not have to be fancy, but a more thought through way of how you want to progress and what you need to do. Get your managers buy in. Once she knows what you want to do in your career, she could help by putting you on projects that help you gain relevant skillset. For e.g. You could say in 2/3 years you want to become a team leader. For that you need experience in leading a small team for a part of the project. You would also like to have the opportunity to work with the customer and understand their requirements, etc. Your manager will look at it and take that as a voluntary submission of when she is looking for members of her team to help with various roles. The 4 steps above are true for any level of management. However, when you start new you need to showcase these qualities to build trust. If you like the post or have any comments, please let me know in the comments section below. Share the post with anyone who is starting a new role or struggling to make an impact at work!

The ultimate library survival guide for university students
The ultimate library survival guide for university students This post was written by an external contributor. Seren Morris has put together a library guide to get all students through this stressful time of year. Reading week is over and the final semester is fully upon us. First and final year students alike will swarm the library and mercilessly study away from dawn until dusk (sometimes through until dawn again). They will struggle to find seats, waste precious studying time in line for coffee and spend their hard earned student loan on meal deals. They might even commit the cardinal library sin: spending eight long hours hunched over a desk, only to achieve next to nothing. Well, not anymore, with The Ultimate Library Survival Guide. Pack wisely Everyoneâs library journey begins at home, so the first step is to pack effectively. Dont be weighed down by non-essential books, drowning in loose papers and struggling to find a pen. Clear your bag out, and only pack what you truly need: a laptop, laptop charger, phone, phone charger, headphones, important notes, your pencil case and the essential books. Make sure to pack a bottle of water (preferably reusable), and a packed lunch, but more on that later. Plan, plan, plan Now that youâve reached the library, dont get daunted by the eight hours or more stretching out ahead of you. The first task of the studying day should always be to plan. Make a list/timetable, prioritise which tasks need to be done first, and estimate how long they will take. Give yourself some leeway and make time for study breaks and lunch. If there are any tasks on your list that will take five minutes or less, do those first. It is an easy way of reducing the amount you have to do, making that list look a lot more achievable. Ignore your friends While this may sound harsh, sometimes its needed. We all know the feeling of sitting down in the quiet area, getting all your books out and feeling eager to start, only to look up and find your chattiest friend bounding your way? Many a library hour has been wasted chatting to friends out of being to polite or it being too awkward to ask them to kindly leave you be. However, desperate times call for desperate measures, so quietly pop your headphones in and tell your friend you will meet them for a coffee break later. Take a break On that note, make sure to take enough breaks throughout the day. Breaks are crucial to your well being, you dont want to burn out or cause yourself any unnecessary stress. As my previous point suggested, you could go for a coffee with a friend, just make sure it doesnt run on, and on, and on Be frugal with your time! Also, if you are partial to a cup of coffee or six, bring your own. The coffee at your student union may seem cheap, but like everything else it soon adds up. Any requests? Some people like to work in silence, while others need music to concentrate. So what music should you be listening to? Luckily, Debut have created The Ultimate Focus Playlist, with the option of with or without lyrics. Just one tip, dont be that person who is completely unaware that they are blasting heavy metal through their earphones for the whole floor to hear. You know who I mean. Lunch time It is important to take time for lunch. Set some time aside to eat, dont scoff down a sandwich while furiously writing away. Leave your desk, go to the cafe and take a proper break. However, try not to get caught up in the meal deal life. Sure, £3 doesnt sound like much, itâs a bargain right? Not so much when you do it five times a week and suddenly youve spent £15, (not including the extra coffee and snacks) Instead, take a packed lunch! Why not try one of Debutâs sandwich recipes? Home time When to leave? Dont let that one person who spends 12 hours or more in the library each day get to you. Everyone concentrates for varying amounts of time, so dont be disheartened if you can only study for a couple of hours at a time. What you do in those couple of hours is what matters. Also, if you prefer to work at 7pm than 7am, thatâs okay too! Just be sure to spend an adequate, yet healthy, amount of time at the library, whenever that may be. Health matters All-nighters might not be as productive as you think. While studying at university, especially during this last semester, you have to prioritise your health. Make sure to get enough sleep, exercise, eat well, see your friends and make time to relax. Spending all day, every day, in the library is good for nobody and can be destructive in the long term. Approach your library time as you would a school day; it shouldnt take over your life. So, stick to The Ultimate Library Survival Guide and you should be alright. I canât guarantee any firsts, but I can guarantee a more pleasant library experience, which at this time of year is what we all need.
