Sharing Too Much Information With Your Coworkers
Sharing Too Much Information With Your CoworkersSharing Too Much Information With Your CoworkersWhen you spend so much time at work that you feel like you might as well live there, its hard not to talk about your personal life with those who are there with you day in and day out. Beware of sharing too much information though. TMI at work can be detrimental to your career. Realize You Cant Trust Everyone Its understandable to want to confide in the people with whom you work, especially since you probably spend more time with them than with your family. Dont talk about your personal life with everyone. Be very selective when picking coworkers to be your confidant because not everyone is trustworthy. If you talk to the wrong person- someone who cant keep a secret or chooses not to- you put yourself at risk for becoming the subject of workplace gossip. Dont Expose Your Belly When a dog exposes its belly to another dog, it is giving a non-verbal cue that it is submissive. You may unintentionally convey the same message by revealing weaknesses to your subordinates or anfhrer. Sharing personal information that exposes a vulnerability can diminish your authority with those you supervise or make your boss question whether you are worthy of a promotion. Shhh...No Talking in School What are you doing at work? Your jobhopefully. While no one expects you to be all business every second of the day, too much time spent chitchatting means too little time working. According to Susan Heathfield, who writes aboutHuman Resourcesfor The Balance Careers,Where a lack of privacy at work becomes problematic, in my mind, is when it becomes excessive. How was your weekend? Just great. We went on a great hike. How was yours? is common courtesy. To spend a half hour giving a coworker a blow by blow description of your weekend is not. How to Decide What to Share With Your Coworkers It can be challenging to decide what is TMI and what is okay to share with colleagues. You lea rned, so far, that revealing personal information to untrustworthy people can lead to malicious gossip and exposing vulnerabilities can damage you authority with subordinates and paint you as a weak person in your bosss eyes. And of course, avoid giving the impression that you are talking more than working. But if you dont share anything about yourself with your coworkers, wont you feel isolated? If no one knows who you are as a person, you wont be able to develop relationships, and that can make for a very lonely experience. The isolation can lead to job stress and dissatisfaction. You may even earn the reputation of being a snob if your colleagues think you dont want anything to do with them. That may be just as damaging as the other labels you would earn by sharing too much information. The trick is finding a balance between allowing your coworkers to get to know what you want them to without damaging your reputation and career. Obviously, you can limit conversations to topics li ke where you had dinner last night or what movie you saw over the weekend. It will be impossible to form relationships based on such superficial revelations about yourself, however. It is perfectly okay to let your coworkers into your life if you wish. Tell them about your family and friends. Talk about your vacation or your plans to redecorate your home. There are some topics to avoid discussing though. No one needs a play-by-play of the fight you had with your partner, child, or parent. Dont disclose how much you paid for your house or a trip you just took or talk about an inheritance you are expecting. Money is always a touchy subject and can cause envy so steer clear of talking about your finances. Never discuss your sex life because...well, just dont. Be careful about going into detail about your health issues, whether they are physical or mental. In the end, it is entirely your choice about how much, and what, you reveal to your coworkersas long as you understand the ramifica tions that come from sharing too much information. Once you open a window that allows your colleagues to look into your personal life, it will be difficult to close it.

7 Rules for Creating a Resume for Your First Job out of College
7 Rules for Creating a Resume for Your First Job out of College 7 Rules for Creating a Resume for Your First Job out of College Finding your first real job out of college can be stressful. It takes time and perseverance to scour the search engines and research companies you may want to work for. But before you do any of that, youhave to create a resume.Most hiring managers only spend a few minutes (and sometimes just a few seconds) skimming candidates resumes before making a decision. With so little time to get their attention, you need to make sure your resume is eye-catching and concise.Dont let your resume go into the no pile upon first glance. Follow these seven rulesto write a great resume for your first job 1. Dont Forget the BasicsSome applicants pay so much attention to the details that they forget the most important information Make sure your resume includes your full name, full address, and contact information, including your emaille address.Does your email address includ e goofy words, nicknames, or other inappropriate elements? If so, create a new email address to use strictly for job hunting. A professional email address is key if you want to look like a strong candidate.2. Select the Right FormatThe traditional resume format lists your prior jobs in reverse chronological order, but if your most recent jobs dont relate to the job for which youre applying, you may want to consider a combination resume instead.With a combination resume, you put more focus on the skills youve acquired than on the jobs youve had. This makes a combination resume a great option for recent grads looking for their first full-time jobs.For example, lets say you worked as a barista, retail clerk, and campus tour guide in college. Those jobs might bedrngnis be at all relevant to the job you want, but with a combination resume, you can shift attention onto your valuable experience by highlighting your customer service skills rather than the titles you held.Youll also need to decide if you want to include an objective statement or a summary of qualifications. Objective statements are often viewed asoutdated, so you may want to opt for a summary of qualifications.A summary of qualifications is a list of four or five bullet points that focus on your skills, accolades, and experiences. The summary sits at the beginning of your resume, making it an easy way for a hiring manager to get a sense of who you are and what you can do.3. Include All Relevant Experience and SkillsIf youre a new college grad, dont discount the importance of academic achievements and volunteer experience. Extracurricular programs may even have a place on your resume, especially if you had a leadership role.Without a lot of solid job experience under your belt, youll want to call attention to any transferable skills you may have. For example, experience as a waiter or waitress can be quite useful if youre applying for a job in schlussverkauf or marketing.It is crucial that you include a ny relevant information that might help you get the job, but you dont have to include everything. Remove what isnt relevant so you can focus on what is.Most importantly, dont ever lie or make up experience. If your resume includes experience you dont have, your secrets are sure to come to light during the interview. 4. Utilize Strong Action VerbsYour resume should command attention. After all, you want to sound strong, competent, and ready for the task at hand. Using action verbs will help your resume sound convincing and make it stand out.Its also important to sprinkle in keywords taken directly from the job description. Having an understanding of industry jargon can help you stand out, and using the right terminology shows your attention to detail.There is one word you should avoid at all costs I. Instead of writing, I oversaw a team of six employees, you can simply write, Oversaw a team of six employees.5. Stick to One PageUnless you have years of high-level experience, keep your resume to one page. Recruiters and hiring managers review dozens, sometimes hundreds of resumes at a time. You have to get straight to the point.Its also crucial that your resume be easy to scan. Critical information, such as your contact information, should be easy to find. Important details should beclearly visible, not buried in lengthy paragraphs. 6. Update Your Social Media AccountsMake a LinkedIn account and include the URL in your resume. Make sure that your LinkedIn account and resume are consistentin terms of dates, places, and details.As for your Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and other social media accounts, review each one with care. Make your accounts private or remove any inappropriate content that you wouldnt want a future employer to see. 7. Edit, Edit, EditTriple check your resume for unnecessary words, spelling errors, and grammatical mistakes. If you send out a resume riddled with typos, youll never get called in for an interview. When you think the document is pe rfect, ask some trusted relatives, coworkers, or friends to read it and provide their feedback.If youre not sure you cancraft a perfect resume on your own, you can always hire a professional resume writer. However, no one knows your experience as well as you do, so at least give it a shot.- When youre ready to apply for that first job, keep these seven resume tips in mind.

This 2-step, 10-minute exercise creates immediate self-awareness
This 2-step, 10-minute exercise creates immediate self-awarenessThis 2-step, 10-minute exercise creates immediate self-awarenessImagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand. ?Albert EinsteinSelf-knowledge is important. But self-imagination is far more compelling and powerful. Actually, being highly imaginative is how you become self-aware.You never actually have an objective perspective of yourself. Instead of trying to be objective, you should seek to be imaginative.Follow Ladders on FlipboardFollow Ladders magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and moreEven your memory is imagined and not objective. Yet, as children, we are trained to not be imaginative, which stops us from developing powerful memories and powerful futures. As Tony Buzan said, Children are trained to think linear ly instead of imaginatively they are taught to read slowly and carefully and are discouraged from daydreaming. They are trained to reduce the use and capacity of their brain.The more imaginative you can be about yourself, about what you learn, and about your future, the more creative control you have over these things.Your brain functions best when you use your imagination when you combine both your left and right brains when you engage all of your senses when you exaggerate things and are playful.In his rocknroller talk, Stuart Brown said, Play leads to brain plasticity, adaptability, and creativity Nothing fires up the brain like play. Similarly, Greg McKeown said in Essentialism, Very successful people see play as essential for creativity.The more creative you are, the more successful you can become. The more imaginative you are, the better your brain will operate.When you allow yourself to be more imaginative about yourself, you will be blown away by how much faster you can lea rn. Youll be blown away by how flexible and your identity and capabilities are. Youll realize that your brain and memory have a seemingly infinite capacity and that youre living far beneath your potential.For starters, heres a quick 10-minute exercise that will begin your process of re-creating your life, surroundings, skills, and world.Step 1 Mind-map your yourself (5 minutes)Through using our memory to its fullest we can unlock the vast reservoir of human potential that isnt currently being used. - Tony BuzanMind mapping is a skill used by many of the worlds best learners. Rather than taking notes or jotting down your ideas in a linear fashion using only words, mind mapping taps into all of the senses of both the right and left brains.Basically, with a mind map, you take out a blank piece of paper and draw a circle in the middle and put your name. Then draw lines going out from the circle and write down whatever categories of your life you want to have, such as health, money, rela tionships, achievements, spirituality.When creating a mind map of yourself, write down all of your dreams, ambitions, and characteristics.Hold nothing back.Also, rather than simply using words, its far more powerful to use images. Your brain stores colorful and even moving images much easier than static words.The more imaginative you can be, the more powerful and memorable your mind map will be.Your identity is imagined. Your future identity is also imagined. So you might as well take creative control over the imagination-process. You might as well become brilliant at the imagination process. This will make your memory far more flexible and powerful, empowering you to more fully embrace new experiences and transform those experiences into growth.Heres how you can fold time. When you create a mind map of your future self in a highly imaginative and visual way, you create memories of your future self.The more emotional the memory the better, as emotion creates the context and feeling of the memory.Zig Ziglar is famous for saying, You have to Be the right kind of person first, then you must Do the right things before you can expect to Have the things in life that really matter. Dad keeps it pretty simple - Be, Do, Have.When you mind-map your future self in a highly imaginative way, you fold time and bring your future self into the present. This will allow you into a new role and identity that can immediately act congruently with your goals.For example, you may put on your mind map that you will be a millionaire. However, the regular behaviors involved in being a millionaire likely conflict with your current identity and behaviors. Therefore, you need to pull your future self into the present and begin being and acting as that person now.Again, the more imaginative, visual, and emotionally-stimulating this written-process, the more engrained it will be into your memory. And your memory in large part shapes your identity and future.Step 2 Write your own obituary ( 5 Minutes)While I thought that I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to sie. - Leonardo da VinciOnce youve mind mapped your future self, the next step is to write your own obituary. You can take 5 minutes or 50 minutes on this.Either way, it is powerful to write out your obituary from the vantage point of you already being dead.What would you like that obituary to say?Again, be very imaginative.The shocking part about life is how much it can bend itself to fit your mind, feelings, and imaginings.A very smart question when considering your own obituary comes from billionaire, Peter Theil, who asked, How can you achieve your 10 year plan in the next 6 months?Why does this question matter? Because it cuts through the noise like a hot knife cuts through butter.You absolutely can achieve most of your wildest dreams in the next 612 months. You simply need to start living to die instead of dying to live. This is what Robin Sharma calls having a death-bed mentality. It means you never take another day for granted again. It means you bring extreme and powerful enthusiasm to everything you do.Enthusiasm is contagious. It gives energy and life. When you wake up and bring enthusiasm to what youre doing, your mind begins sparking with creative ideas and insights. Your doubts and fears begin to wash away. Productivity becomes automatic.What will your obituary say?Write it down and then put it on your wall right next to your visually stimulating mind map. This is how you create a transformational trigger that immediately causes a deep sense of remembering. In your day-to-day life, its easy to fall back into cycles. Its easy to forget what you really want and what you stand for.However, if you have a transformational trigger which immediately reminds you of the future you, then it can zap you into that role and identity in the here and now. Thus, not only will your emotionally-charged trigger remind you, but it will also transform and reshape you.A lifetime sta te of playAccording to Strategic Coach founder, Dan Sullivan, life can and should be organized such that you live in a continual state of play.How do you do this?You never stop learning. Your brain needs all of the information it can get - however, garbage in, garbage out. Your life is a product of your standards and your brain is the product of the quality of information you put in.You deepen your human relationships. Nothing is more important for the human brain than love. You could get all of the nutrition, oxygen, and information you need - but without love, your brain will hardly be able to process anything. However, when you have love, all inputs are amplified and expanded.You always make your future bigger than your past.You remove everything from your life that is keeping you stuck.You allow yourself to imagine something more compelling and exciting.You focus on who instead of how.You allow yourself to want what you really want, and never operate from a state of should or have to again.When you give yourself permission to seek what you truly want, you immediately have far more energy, excitement, and enthusiasm about what youre doing.If something doesnt excite you, then youre not being imaginative enough about the game and how its being tischset up. Your future should be extremely juicy and compelling. It should even potentially scare you a little bit because its so amazing.Charles Haanel, considered to be the father of modern self-improvement said,Remember that no matter what the difficulty is, no matter where it is, no matter who is affected, you have no patient but yourself you have nothing to do but convince yourself of the truth which you desire to see manifest.ConclusionWhere will you be in 6 months from now?How close can you get to achieving your 10-year plan in the next 6 months?How imaginative will you be?Are you willing to be bold?Are you willing to be direct?Are you willing to do what will actually work, rather than being emotionally-attac hed to the outcome and to your ego?Are you willing to create a life that allows you a continual state of play and awe?How much bigger is your future going to be than your past?What will your obituary say?Will you fold-time and begin living your future today?Ready to upgrade?Ive created a cheat sheet for putting yourself into a PEAK-STATE, immediately.

The introduction has three essential components, every one of which serves a specific function. As a result, while your resume objective should consist of information on the career that you would like, you also wish to spell out why you are the perfect candidate for the job. Whenever you wish to emphasize that youre ambitious, that you understand what you want in a career, or you have the skills for the particular job, you could benefit from a resume objective. You should make sure your resume summary statement concisely demonstrates why youre a perfect candidate for the particular job and business. It is often as easy as stating your preferred job title, or it may show wh ere youve been, and where you aspire to go in your career.

5 Lesser Known Forms Of Hiring Discrimination
5 Lesser Known Forms Of Hiring Discrimination 5 Lesser Known Forms Of Hiring Discrimination 1.ObesityA recent survey showed that 52% of obese people feel they have been discriminated against when applying for a job or promotion and so weight discrimination does happen. While weight is not a protected class under federal discrimination laws, it might have indirect protection under other protected classes such as disability or sex discrimination, or direct protection even under some state laws. Also, just last year, the EEC gained settlements in its first two major cases of weight-related obesity discrimination and so obesity discrimination is now being tested in the courts.2.AccentA study by Patricia Cukor-Avila from the University of North Texas has found that job candidates with identifiable regional accents may face discrimination when interviewing for jobs because interviewers rates those with less obvious accents higher without knowing if they are better qualified.Once again, a lthough accent discrimination does occur, it is not a protected category, but it could potentially be indirectly linked to some other protected criteria such as national origin or race.3. Attractiveness discriminationA study reported in science daily from the University of Colorado Denver Business School has found that beautiful women were discriminated against for jobs considered masculine and where appearance welches not thought to be important for the job, such as manager of research, director of finance, mechanical engineer and construction supervisor.For men, they found that attractive men did not experience similar discrimination and enjoyed an advantage over less attractive men. They concluded that beautiful people enjoy a significant advantage over the less attractive in the workplace and highlighted a Newsweek study of 202 hiring managers which led them to conclude that looks matter in every aspect of the workplace and ranked third above education and sense of humour in a l ist of nine desirable character attributes.One again attractiveness discrimination is not not a protected category under federal law but it could be potentially linked and protected under age or gender discrimination.4.Genetic InformationDid you know that discrimination on the basis of genetic information is no longer confined to Sci-Fi films like Gattaca? It is now illegal to discriminate against employees or applicants based on their genetic information in the US. You are also not generally allowed to try and establish genetic information about an individual unless its under strict conditions5. RetaliationIt is illegal to fire, demote, fail to hire or promote an employee or applicant because they have filed a charge of discrimination against an employer or because they complained about discrimination.

Why small businesses should always be hiringeven when they dont think they need to
Why small businesses should always be hiringeven when they dont think they need toWhy small businesses should always be hiring- even when they dont think they need toWhy small businesses should always be hiring- even when they dont think they need toSmall businesses cant afford to be caught off guard with a hiring gap or shortage. The smaller a business is, the bigger the impact when you dont have someone to do key tasks.This is particularly true in industries that are binnenseeing talent shortages, such as manufacturing and even financial and business services,according to Korn Ferry. For businesses that need skilled workers, an open sttte can mean a weeks- or even months-long vacancy while a company locates and screens candidates.What happens is that if they have turnover, or if they want to expand, they find themselves scrambling to figure out how to hire talent, says Jill Johns, who runs a professional service provider consulting business outside of Savannah, GA. What they end up doing is grabbing whomever seems to fit on the surface, but they dont really have a strategy.For that kind of business, always-on hiring can help in several ways.Why its helpful to be always-on hiringYou wont be forced to make poor hiring decisionsIn a pinch, if you need a worker and you cant find a great one, you may end up plugging the spot with someone mediocre or- worse- problematic. This happened to a client of Johns, when one of their skilled technicians left with no notice. She was just, overnight, gone, Johns says. It took three rounds of interviewing, screening, hiring and firing to finally be able to find a qualified candidate to fill her shoes. And each one of those is time and money.You can be uber responsiveIf your product or service is a function of people doing something, having a backup stack of people who can step in is crucial to your ability to perform. You absolutely have to have a bench for every time you scale and to not disrupt your delivery cycle or whatever it is that your people do for you, says Antara Dutta, a SCORE mentor in Delaware and founder of healthcare startup Ayuvia Galaxy. If someone quits or is sick or unavailable, you wont be in a tight spot to find hands.You might find someone you needIf youre only placing help wanted ads when you have vacancies, you could miss out on that candidate whos exactly what you want- but theyre not actively looking when youre actively seeking. If youre accepting resumes all the time, youll be able to find the great people and flag them for the time when you really need them.You might find someone you never knew you wantedAs a small business, you might not realize you need a person that does X and Y- until you meet them. Then you might find yourself creating a position to accommodate them. You never know whos going to come across your desk, says Johns, who is also a mentee of SCORE. Small businesses in particular are extremely agile, and they can shift and change depending on whats available to them.How to make it work for youUse subscription-based job postingsPutting your postings on a subscription service, likeMonsters flexible job ad options, allow you to be an always-hiring employer, with ads that attract qualified candidates during all hiring cycles. These solutions can be flexible and reasonably priced, allowing you to turn your attention to other aspects of your business.Do whatever takes the longest- in advanceIf you have a process that requires candidates to be vetted before they can be hired, do it before you need to hire them. Lets say a position requires some kind of background check, Dutta says. I would probably have them not only interviewed but also security background check cleared. Its like pre-cooking a meal- how much can a chef do ahead of time?Find flexible candidatesIf youre constantly interviewing so youll have a bench full of talent, but you arent equipped to hire people right away, youll need to look for candidates who are content to work on your t imeline. Where I see it works is where there are a lot of independent contractors or mothers re-entering the workforce, Dutta says. Thats where youd find people who are flexible on timing and starting.Attend job eventsEven when you arent looking for hires, take advantage of local job fairs to meet people and take resumes. This is particularly true if youre near any colleges or universities, because youll have access to a fresh and enthusiastic talent pool.

They did for over 100 students who showcased their inventions to President Obama at the White House Science ritterlich on May 27, 2014.I love this event and its my favorite all year long, said President Obama in his remarks, confessing that when he grew up, his science experiments werent as successful as the ones displayed at the fair and didnt take him to the White House. One year I accidently killed some plants that were parte of my experiment. Another time a bunch of mice escaped in my grandmothers apartment, he chuckled.Now in its fourth year, the White House Science Fair celebrates the student winners of a broad range of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) competitions from across the country. The fairs focus this year welches girls and women who are excell ing in STEM.Referring to the tradition of recognizing the winners of sports championships like the NFL and NCAA at the White House, sports-fan President Obama said, As a society we have to celebrate outstanding work being done by young people in science at least as much as we do Super Bowl winners. Because superstar biologists, engineers, rocket scientists, and robot builders, they dont always get the attention they deserve but they are the ones who are going to transform our society.Girl Scouts from Tulsa, OK, with their Lego flood-proof bridge design. Image White House Office of Science and Technology PolicySolving Global ProblemsAmong the students exhibiting at the fair were 12-year old Peyton Robertson of Florida, who built a sandless sandbag for better floor protection Olivia Van Amsterdam and Katelyn Sweeney, two Massachusetts high school students who built an ice rescue robot a team of 11- to 14-year-old girls from Texas who designed an app to help one of their visually impai red classmates 18-year old Eric Chen, who identified new drug candidates for the treatment of influenza and also second-grade Girl Scouts from Oklahoma with their Lego flood-proof bridge design, and several other young innovators.A lot of young people that I met, said the President, tried to start by solving problems in their neighborhood or schools, but the solutions they are coming up with have the potential to solve the problems of the world. Citing Franklin Roosevelt, he also highlighted the obligation grownups have to help them reach their full potential. We cannot always build the future for our youth but we can build our youth for future.The future of science is here today, tweeted Bill Nye the Science Guy, who was a major presence at the event, interviewing participants along with Kari Byron of the Discovery Channel program MythBusters.Also present in the audience were many prominent science proponents including U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, NASA Administrator Cha rlie F. Bolden, NIH Director Francis S. Collins, and Founder of FIRST Robotics Dean Kamen.Olivia Van Amsterdam and Katelyn Sweeney of the Lemelson-MIT Program display their ice rescue robot. Image The Lemelson-MIT ProgramEncouraging Women in STEMAt the fair, the President announced new steps supporting STEM education, including a $35 million Department of Education competition to train math and science teachers and an expansion of AmeriCorps to provide STEM learning opportunities for low-income students this summer.As part of his Educate to Innovate initiative, he also announced a national STEM mentoring effort kicking off in seven cities, as well as new steps by technology and media companies, non-profits, and others to connect more students with mentors in science and technology.President Obama also highlighted the need for more women in science, the focus of this years fair. Fewer than 3 in 10 workers in science and engineering are women. That means we arent putting half our team on the field. Weve got to change those numbers, he said.Olivia Van Amsterdam of the Lemelson-MIT Program, who displayed her teams ice rescue robot along with teammate Katelyn Sweeney, was excited to attend the event. Coming here and seeing the emphasis on STEM education at the White House, meeting the President, and seeing that he requires such focus on this as well is very inspiring, she said.
