Looking for God#8217;s Resume

Looking for God8217s Resume Looking for Gods Resume Im an agthetic I dont know and dont care whether God exists.- college flat-mate So, Wheres the Resume That Covers This?Assuming that if God submitted a job resume, it would be perfect, reviewing it as a job applicant or as a recruiter would prove to be a very useful and instructive exercise.However, it is one thing to be open to the idea of gleaning something from The Ultimate Resume, and quite aelendher to even imagine getting ones hands on it.That would, nonetheless, be the greatest windfall and breakthrough in the history of job hunting ever since Adam and Eve were, we are told, banished from the Garden of Eden and forced to create or find jobs for themselves.Imagine a glimpse of the Ten Commandments of resume writing implicit in the perfection of the Creators CV. Sure, none of us could match the content or the exemption from references- but the form Think of the form Obviously, since any resume standards that we mortals could possibly aspire to adopt could be no better than that one, all we would have to do is to do our best to emulate, i.e., crib, as much of it as we could.As for an omnipotent Gods possible motivation in submitting a resume, despite no evident need for one or for a job, it can be argued that such a CV would be analogous to the revelation of the Ten Commandments- a revealed set of guidelines to steer us in the right direction, especially given that we, most of our ancestors and descendants- immediate and remote- will have at some time been pushed into work as a result of the push from Eden. (Who knows?- Maybe Gods resume could tacitly be an apology and helping hand to those of us who have had to look for work and validation for the rest who have not.)The obvious problem is that it seems that no such Divine resume exists. Or does it? Surprise Here is a proof that Gods resume does indeed exist. (What follows may have a familiar ring for those of you who have ever heard of St. Anselm. If not, enjoy the perfect freshness of the proof and Google St. Anselm later.)STEP 1 Imagine (or, with less effort, conceive) a perfect resume than which none greater can be conceived..(Try very hard. OK?)STEP 2 Now imagine that perfect resume does not exist. (That should be easy.)STEP 3 But then, consider that if that perfect resume does not exist, it follows that it is not as perfect as an identical resume that in fact exists and can just as easily be conceived- since the hard part was conceiving the perfect resume in the first place. (A pizza that actually exists is mora perfect than one that does not. Call this the Perfect Pizza Principle.) That is to say you can conceive or imagine a perfect resume that does exist and also understand that it is more perfect than a so-called perfect one that doesnt exist.STEP 4 Accept the fact that the than-which-no-greater-exists, truly most perfect resume must exist. (Thats because existence is a form of perfection- as the PPP (Perfect Pizza Prin ciple) illustrates and because you can conceive that perfection. Besides, if you claim you cant, someone else can. If you dont mind the subtle circularity, it can be argued that God can.)STEP 5 Accept the fact that since God is the most perfect being of all, that resume must be Hisor Hersor Its. (This conclusion seems inescapable.)STEP 6 Try to find it.You may be tempted to counter that even if this proves Gods resume has existed, its still possible that it doesnt exist anymore- on analogy with the God Is Dead notion. Once was, now isnt.Sorry, that line of argument wont work- neither for God nor for The Resume. The non-existence of either is inconceivable. Thats because not only does Gods resume exist, it must exist,- forever, as well as now and in the past.Heres why If a perfect Gods perfect resume could somehow be destroyed- not by a perfect God, since there would be no reason to destroy anything perfect, it would not be as perfect as a resume that could not be destroyed. This con cept is very similar to the idea of a Superman who cannot be destroyed by kryptonite, or by anything else, being more perfect than one that could.If you think this is mere wordplay, try to conceive the non-existence of space.OK, try again. You dont have to try to imagine it just conceive it. Conceiving is easier than imagining, e.g., conceiving a shape with 24,236 sides is easier than imagining it. Still cant do it, right? Empty space is not the same thing as no-space. Neither is a vacuum. Nor an infinitesimally small Big-Bang mass point. Nor absolute darkness. That wont work either, since the darkness is an expanse and an expanse defines a space.God and The Resume apparently are just like space nonexistence? Inconceivable. (For those of you philosophically-minded or well-versed, think Kant.)That said, all that remains is for someone to find That Resumethe one that is perfect and therefore indestructible. Can it be found? Of course.by the perfect resume hunter than whom no greater c an be conceived.Master the art of closing deals and making placements. Take our Recruiter Certification Program today.

Alternative Summer Opportunities for Law Students

Alternative Summer Opportunities for Law StudentsAlternative Summer Opportunities for Law StudentsSo, you didnt snag a summer associate spot at your target law firm or a coveted fr sich selbstship at your dream nonprofit? Chin up. While a prestigious summer gig has its benefits, there are plenty of alternative opportunities that can make your 1L or 2L summer worthwhile and provide useful experience for your future legal career. With April around the corner, its time to nail down your summer plans- check out some of our suggestions below.Keep studying- but not law.With only a few short years left to enjoy summer break, the idea of going to summer school may be low on your list, but hear me out. One of the complaints from both lawyers and legal employers is that law school doesnt adequately prepare lawyers for practice. Whether you agree with that notion or not, there is always room to grow your skill set. If you already know your intended practice area, consider the aspects of that ar ea in which you could use a stronger foundation. For example, if you are interested in transactional work, consider enrolling in some business-related and accounting classes through your universitys business school. If you are leaning toward litigation, seek out some writing and public-speaking courses. If you hope to go into family law, seek out courses through your schools social work or psychology departments. Science and technology classes would be useful for those considering a career in IP. The list goes on, of course, and the courses that will be the best fit will depend on which practice area you pursue. (Also, dont be afraid to reach out to practicing attorneys in your network and ask which courses they feel would be most useful for someone in their area.)Or just study law.You dont have to take non-legal courses taking classes at your law school over the summer is great idea too. Completing coursework over the summer- if your school offers it- can give you more time during the semester to focus on other activities like journal or moot court. Or summertime can be a prime opportunity to immerse yourself in a difficult topic so that you can tackle it head on. Summer school is also a good time to take classes you otherwise wouldnt have time for but find interesting.Take your studying on the road.Study abroad isnt limited to undergrad there are a number of interesting study abroad options for law students. Obviously, for those drawn to cross-border work, a study abroad program can be particularly useful. But you dont have to be set on an international legal career to benefit from studying abroad. Youll make connections that can last your entire legal career, explore aspects of the law that you may never have considered while confined to a classroom, and travel to new places. Of course, these programs arent free, so youll have to consider whether one will fit into your budget. And if youre interested, you need to jump on your application now as many deadlin es are fast approaching in the next week or two (and some have already lapsed).Work with a professor.Dont underestimate the value of spending your summer as a research assistant for one of your law school professors, especially if the professor is a scholar in your preferred area of law. Not only will a research position provide an opportunity to learn more about a particular legal area, but it will also allow you to develop a stronger relationship with the professor. As with every career path, connections are everything. You never know what doors will open with the right letter of recommendation or phone call. So a summer working under a respected legal scholar is a definite plus.Find a Legal Judicial Internship.While some of the more competitive judicial summer internships may have already been filled, you might still find opportunities with state judges. Consult with career services to see if there are any judges who frequently hire from your law school. You can also find a direc tory of judges on a states judiciary website. Interning for a judge will provide invaluable experience in observing the innerhalb workings of the judiciary. You will be able to observe arguments, read motions (and see what works and what doesnt), and gain insight into the judges decision-making process.Think small.Mega firms and corporate legal internships arent the only paths to valuable legal experience. Local law firms and solo practitioners can offer useful learning experiences, as well. While you may not walk away with a hefty paycheck, you may gain valuable mentoring and an opportunity to shadow one attorney, rather than being lost in a sea of interns. When I was in college, I interned for a solo practitioner who gave me challenging research opportunities, talked through the research with me in detail, and brought me to court with him (and introduced me to judges and lawyers). I walked away with sharper research skills and greater confidence in my legal writing, and observing arguments in court gave me new perspective. Smaller firms and solo practitioners may not have formal internship programs, but that doesnt mean they arent willing to take on an intern (although it will probably be on a volunteer basis or for school credit). Check with career services for a list of alumni to contact, ask professors if they have any connections, or reach out to your network to find some local lawyers who may be a good fit.Volunteer.Other volunteer positions, aside from local firms, may also still be available, so cast your net wide. Working for free isnt ideal, but if you can swing it, gaining experience that will help you develop as a lawyer may be worth it. And you still have time to snag a spot working at some pretty amazing places. For example, the Department of Justice hosts Volunteer Legal Internships, and there are still some summer positions posted on its website the New York State Office of the Attorney General is still accepting applications for volunteer int erns in the New York City office The Legal Aid Society is seeking Criminal Defense Practice Law Clerks in Brooklyn, New York and the National Parks Conservation Association is hiring a Summer Sun Coast Legal Intern in Florida- to name a handful of options. In some cases, you may be able to get school credit for these opportunities, making them even more valuable.Or get paid.Of course, unpaid internships arent the only ones still hiring. With summer programs starting in just a few months however, time to apply is running out. Set up a meeting with career services to see if they know of any available opportunities. And search broadly on your preferred job search board.In a few weeks, youll be bogged down with finals preparation take time now to find your summer job if you havent already.

Why Googles employees walked out and what it could mean for labor

Why Google’s employees walked out and what it could mean for labor Why Google’s employees walked out and what it could mean for labor The recent walkout by thousands of Google employees at offices around the world was the first protest of its kind by well-paid and benefit-rich high-tech workers.The collective action was triggered by a report that their employer had awarded several top male executives accused of sexual misconduct multimillion-dollar exit packages. But their list of demands suggests the roots of the crisis go much deeper.To me, it’s a reminder of just how outmoded American labor laws are, a primary area of my research these days. In fact, the underlying grievances that motivated the Google employees to walk out are emblematic of what’s prompting millions of American workers to feel they have lost their voice.And unfortunately, U.S. labor law no longer has their back. The walkout by these non-union professionals at Google, however, might change that.Five demandsThe brief walkouts took place in about 40 Google offices including New York, London, Singapore and the company’s headquarters in Mountai n View, California.They followed a New York Times investigation that found that the search giant gave Andy Rubin, the creator of its Android mobile software, a US$90 million exit package despite a credible claim of sexual misconduct. The report said two other executives received similar treatment.The leaders of the walkout presented a list of five demands on an Instagram page: an end to forced arbitration in cases of harassment and discrimination a commitment to end pay and opportunity inequality a publicly disclosed sexual harassment transparency report a clear, uniform, globally inclusive process for reporting sexual misconduct safely and anonymously promote the chief diversity officer to answer directly to the CEO and make recommendations directly to the board of directors. In addition, appoint an employee representative to the board. The demands signal, in my view, a deep dissatisfaction with the lack of effective channels for reporting and resolving harassment claims, as well as a distrust of human resources, a department tasked with looking out for employees’ legal rights and enforcing company policies.Workers losing their voiceThe Google walkout has little precedent to help us understand what might happen next.For one thing, it’s the first time employees at a high-tech company â€" with their free meals and on-site gyms â€" staged a public protest. For another, it spanned multiple countries, a feat that very few unions are able to pull off. Finally and perhaps most importantly, the demands put forward go well beyond those covered under U.S. labor law.The thing that comes closest to it is the spontaneous strike by 25,000 executives, managers and employees at the Market Basket grocery chain in Massachusetts in 2014 to protest the firing of their CEO in a family dispute over strategy. After a six-week strike a nd a consumer boycott, the board capitulated and sold the company to the CEO. At the time, I called it the most successful strike of the 21st century.Both Market Basket and Google are examples of outbursts of employee tensions that have long been simmering among the private workforce. In a recent national survey we conducted at MIT, a majority of workers said they don’t have as much of a voice as they believe they should on a range of issues, from compensation and benefits to protections against harassment and respect for their labor.Astoundingly, almost half of respondents said they would join a union if given the chance, a number that has increased from about one third in comparable surveys conducted in prior decades.Yet, in case after case, companies have suppressed worker efforts to form a union, as we saw at Boeing facilities in South Carolina, Nissan’s Mississippi factory and Volkswagen’s Tennessee plant.No legal standingLike at Market Basket, Google’s employees have n o legal standing to require their employer to negotiate with them, particularly over the issues they care about.Legal standing only comes if they go through what is almost always a hotly contested, long and usually futile election process overseen by the National Labor Relations Board.And should they try, these employees would quickly find the board would rule a good number of them ineligible for coverage for several reasons, such as their being managers, contract employees or simply outside the U.S.Furthermore, their demands â€" such as an employee rep on the board or requiring the chief diversity officer to report to the CEO â€" are outside the narrow confines of what the labor relations board considers “the mandatory scope of bargaining.”And the demand to eliminate forced arbitration would likely end up at the Supreme Court, which has already issued a ruling that backs companies’ right to do it.But powerless?All this is not to say that Google employees are powerless to achi eve the “structural changes” they seek.Although labor law won’t protect them, they might be able to use the hundreds of millions of Google’s customers â€" of its search engine, email program or mobile phone software â€" to pressure executives to negotiate in good faith.In this regard, Google might be wise to look to Market Basket for guidance. Because of the strong customer support of the workers in that dispute, business plunged by 90 percent, which is likely what compelled the board to give in.In other words, if Google’s employees hold steady despite the lack of federal protection, they could not only end up changing their company’s policy on harassment, but become the vanguard that could help disrupt U.S. labor law in the process.Thomas Kochan, George Maverick Bunker Professor of Management Professor, Work and Organization Studies Co-Director, MIT Sloan Institute for Work and Employment Research, MIT Sloan School of ManagementThis article is republished from The Conve rsation under a Creative Commons license.

How to be prepared to evacuate your building at work

How to be prepared to evacuate your building at work How to be prepared to evacuate your building at work Emergencies at work are never convenient. You can be sitting at your desk, sipping your morning cup of coffee one moment, and the next moment there’s a siren blaring and you’re wracking your head for the safety drills you didn’t pay attention to for how to evacuate your building.You can’t predict when an emergency can strike, but you can prepare how you’ll react to it so you won’t be caught off guard. Here’s how:1) Create and know the planYour employer should have an evacuation plan of the building that they run drills for, a plan that you can easily access if you forget the established protocol.  To prevent chaos in an already chaotic moment, everyone needs to know exactly what to do and where to go.Although not every employer is required to have an emergency action, the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration recommends that at the very minimum, every employer should have a preferred protocol for reporting emergencies like fires, a procedure on how to carry out those protocols, a plan on how you will communicate emergency information, a backup plan if your initial communication strategy fails, and evacuation route assignments like floor plans or designated meeting areas.OSHA believes the best evacuation plans include employee input. That makes sense. When people are part of the planning process, they take ownership of the idea and are more likely to follow it. “When you include your employees in your planning, encourage them to offer suggestions about potential hazards, worst-case scenarios, and proper emergency responses. After you develop the plan, review it with your employees to make sure everyone knows what to do before, during and after an emergency,” OSHA recommends.2) Keep track of your belongingsSpeed and efficiency are your top priorities for evacuating. You don’t want to be held up with your evacuation because you forgot where you put your wallet carrying your identification, or are backing up an important document fr om your computer. To speed your exit along, keep your important supplies on you or near your work station in something you can easily grab and carry. That means paring what you need down to essentials that will get you safely out of the building.The  Federal Emergency Management Agency recommends creating a workplace emergency kit that can include items like a flashlight, extra shoes for walking and food and water, or whatever you would consider a necessity. If you’re working on sensitive information or a lengthy project, it’s also a good habit to back up your files regularly.3) When in doubt, ask for more informationUnfortunately by the time an emergency like a fire strikes, it’s too late to ask questions. That’s why the best way to prepare for an emergency is to ask many questions beforehand. Ask your human resources department about different scenarios. What if the microwave catches fire? What if there’s an active shooter on the premises? OSHA recommends designating cer tain employees to be key point people to communicate this information.Employers can also prepare employees by spreading the knowledge around and empowering them with first aid training, instructions on how to a operate fire extinguisher, self-defense tactics, and other training, so that they can have the knowledge necessary to save themselves.

I cannot tell a lie or a good one, anyway

I cannot tell a lie… or a good one, anyway I cannot tell a lie… or a good one, anyway We asked recruiters using Ladders “what was the worst lie you have ever heard during an interview”.When looking for that next career move, it’s imperative to put your best foot forward, but after asking our recruiters, “what is the worst lie you’ve heard during an interview?” it became apparent that all too often, job seekers wind up putting their foot in their mouth instead.After reviewing the recruiters’ stories, which they happily shared, we found that during the interview/onboarding process, there are four main types of lies:1.  Resume past accomplishments“Had a candidate that stated on his resume that he was a graduate of the United States Military Academy (my alma mater). Our company, a government contractor, verified his history. Apparently our company didn’t think to verify that he actually graduated from West Point. To mislead someone about that would be really brazen. Brazen he was. Terminated. He probably would have been better off saying he graduated fr om the Canadian or French, or Botswana Military Academy.”2.  Criminal background“I asked the candidate point blank, ‘is there anything negative that may come up in a background, credit and DMV check?’. He said, “nope, nothing, for sure.” Turns out he forgot about the 2 felony DUI’s he had in the last year, and a court appointment scheduled for the following week!”3.  Current drug use“Just heard my boss telling this one this morning. A candidate failed the drug test, coming up positive for â€" of all things â€" crack cocaine. When confronted on his start date, he claimed his step son must have put some in the coffee creamer or something. Really?”4.  Unreal and elaborate“Had a candidate interview as her twin sister (using her ID and all. It wasn’t caught until the background check when she used her own SSN. She stuck with the lie until her past residences didn’t match up. Her reason for lying was that she didn’t have a high school diploma but her sister did .  The offer was rescinded.”The common theme is that every lie reported by recruiters was easily identified. With today’s technology enabling near-instant background and drug tests, not to mention simple common sense (one jobseeker claimed to have an IQ of 290 when the highest IQ ever recorded is only in the 250 range), it pays to follow George Washington’s advice: “The truth will set you free.

5 signs you need to handle stress differently

5 signs you need to handle stress differently 5 signs you need to handle stress differently Stress is an overarching theme in most of our lives. Though we’re all busy, everyone finds time to talk about being stressed, unable to meet the competing demands of work and family, not to mention friends, hobbies, and self-care.This is a difficult way to live - and whether or not our culture requires such stressful excess - maintaining a breakneck pace can sabotage your ability to enjoy your day-to-day existence. Everyone handles stress differently, but some people are less able to adapt to it than others.Follow Ladders on Flipboard!Follow Ladders’ magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and more!Here are 5 signs you need to handle  stress  differently.1. You feel enraged on a regular basisIf you find yourself struggling with severe  anger, including road rage, on a near-daily basis, this is a sign that you need to find healthy outlets to deal with stress.Anger is hard on you mentally and physically, and can lead to  impulsive choices you regret, such as violence. If you find it hard to keep your rage in check, you need to reevaluate your methods for dealing with stress.2. You frequently experience somatic (body) painMigraines, back pain, and IBS are just some examples of  physical issues that are often caused or exacerbated by stress. Internalized stress can manifest in physical aches and pains, and, if left untreated, can yield more and more severe health issues. If you’re taking sick days regularly for these physical kinds of issues, you are likely further exacerbating your stress and  anxiety  by missing work or school.3. You feel isolated from friends and familyConfiding in others  is a great way to lower stress levels, but if you feel that you have no time to see friends or family, you can’t even discuss or share your issues with them. If you feel like it’s been “forever” since you have spent time with the people who are most important to you, then this loneliness is likely compounding you r stress.4. Others tell you that you seem stressedIf you’re hearing from friends, family, or loved ones that you seem stressed and they imply that it is affecting their relationships with you, you might do well to listen to their issues.Examples of this include:  a partner saying they feel like they have to walk on eggshells around you  when you have had a bad day at work, a friend saying that you disappear into a black hole and stop answering texts regularly for weeks at a time, your boss pointedly asking if “something is wrong,” or your child saying that you always seem busy, even at home. Stress that sabotages your closest relationships needs to be examined and dealt with openly and proactively.5. You’re barely keeping your head above waterIf you feel that you are unable to see the big picture or plan for the future because you’re just keeping your head above water, it may be time to slow down and reprioritize. If you feel like you can’t think about larger  career, li fe, or relationship goals  because you’re so consumed by daily stressors, then you are denying yourself the opportunity to derive meaning from your life and plan for the future.It is essential to mental health to see your life as a coherent narrative; to think you are the protagonist in a story that makes sense to you. If you are barely surviving, you cannot be thriving in any larger sense.It’s unhealthy to live with excess stress, find help todayIf any of these signs of stress feel familiar to you, it would be a good idea to  reach out to a therapist. You deserve to enjoy your life, and this requires you to find more adaptive and healthy ways to deal with stress. Changing your responses to stress can change your life outlook and help you feel calmer and happier. You’ll have the resources to devote to aligning your values and goals, and start living a life that feels more authentic and meaningful.This article originally appeared on Talkspace.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

5 ways to stop being your own worst enemy

5 ways to stop being your own worst enemy 5 ways to stop being your own worst enemy The phrase “your own worst enemy” is uttered so often it’s become a stale cliché without any real impact. But the realities behind it - the ways in which we are harder on ourselves than anyone else - have not gone away. In fact, as parents and  husbands, we tend to be even  harder on ourselves than others might be.Follow Ladders on Flipboard!Follow Ladders’ magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and more!“Being unreasonably hard on ourselves is very human,” says Dr. Oksana Hagerty an educational and developmental psychologist, “In the end, self-management is one of the most difficult types of management - with all the challenges of working with others, exacerbated by the lack of objective feedback. As a result, just like in business settings, we often resort to ‘managing by exception’: reflecting on our performance only when there are problems - similarly to proverbial bad bosses, who ‘notice’ employees only when they get in trouble.”So what can we do to stop the cycle of self-punishment for our shortcomings, whether real or imagined? It’s about taking measures to break the cycle before it restarts. Here’s what to know.Take Care of Your Needs FirstThis kind of thinking might run counter to the instincts of a lot of husbands and fathers, who tend to put the needs of everyone else above their own. However, Scott Allen, a licensed mental health counselor and psychotherapist in South Florida, says it’s important, using the oft-repeated analogy of putting on your own oxygen mask ahead of others in an air emergency. “If you don’t put on that oxygen mask first, you won’t be available to get breathable air to your child when the plane is going down. The same can be said about physical and mental health. Schedule time for physical activity and fun. Give yourself some well-deserved ‘dad time’ to recharge.”Measure Your PerformanceIn good times and bad, it’s important to take a moment to look at what you’ve done right and done wrong to remind yourself that, more often than not, the scales tip in a positive direction. That will make it much more difficult to beat yourself up the next time you drop the ball. “Tracking and reflecting on all performance will naturally ‘catch’ some successes, which, among other things, will establish new ‘degrees of freedom’ for you,” says Hagerty. “Saying, ‘Yes, I know I did not do well here, but I have done X, Y, and Z,’ is your way to break the stress-induced ‘tunnel vision’ that blocks everything but the problem, and to line up the resources necessary to move on with confidence and joy.”Accept That You’re ImperfectDue to outdated notions and a good deal of stubbornness, many men tend to want to be everything to everyone, especially to their families. They want to give them the best that they can, and (hopefully) more than they had themselves. However, that journey to perfection is fraught with  stress and anxiety. Allen says you have to accept that you are not alone in striving to be all you can be. “Never give up a chance to admit your mistakes and misconceptions. Be brave enough to allow your children to experience your vulnerability with intimate conversations about your humanity and humility; you’ll thank yourself for it in the future.”Change Your PerspectiveSometimes your thoughts, your inner chastisement, can become so loud and so pervasive that they begin to sound like facts. You tell yourself that you’re a failure because you were late to your daughter’s recital. You criticize yourself for being a bad husband because you forgot to take out the garbage one night. But, more often than not, these thoughts are not reflective of the actual situation. “Reflect about how often the mistakes you’ve made in the past have resulted in the worst-case scenario occurring and whether the issue you are upset about now will matter in one year from now,” says Dr. Ro xy Zarrabi, Psy.D., a licensed clinical psychologist. “When your inner critic is being loud, your perspective becomes narrow and these questions can help ground you in the present moment and provide a different perspective.”Forgive YourselfNo matter how hard you try to be Superdad, you are going to fall short. Not living up to the expectations you set for yourself as a father can be a hard pill to swallow, leading to feelings of guilt and inadequacy. Don’t beat yourself up over mistakes you’ve made, focus on what you’ve done right and forgive yourself for the times where you’ve fallen short. “Negative self-talk, blame, guilt, and shame are snags that most dads deal with on a regular basis,” says Allen. “Remember, you are worth the time to work on your personal wellness because your children are worth it.”This article first appeared on Fatherly.  close dialogAdvertisementclose dialog/* effects for .bx-campaign-1012255 *//* custom css .bx-campaign-1012255 */.bx-cus tom.bx-campaign-1012255.bx-type-agilityzone .bx-close { z-index: 2;}@-ms-keyframes bx-anim-1012255-spin { from { -ms-transform: rotate(0deg); } to { -ms-transform: rotate(360deg); } } @-moz-keyframes bx-anim-1012255-spin { from { -moz-transform: rotate(0deg); } to { -moz-transform: rotate(360deg); } } @-webkit-keyframes bx-anim-1012255-spin { from { -webkit-transform: rotate(0deg); } to { -webkit-transform: rotate(360deg); } } @keyframes bx-anim-1012255-spin { from { transform: rotate(0deg); } to { transform: rotate(360deg); } } #bx-close-inside-1012255 { top: 0; right: 0; }/* rendered styles .bx-campaign-1012255 */.bxc.bx-campaign-1012255.bx-active-step-1 .bx-creative *:first-child {padding: 0;width: auto;}.bxc.bx-campaign-1012255.bx-active-step-1 .bx-creative {background-color: transparent;}.bxc.bx-cam paign-1012255.bx-active-step-1 .bx-close {stroke: white;background-color: black;border-style: solid;border-color: white;border-width: 1px;box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px 3px black;}.bxc.bx-campaign-1012255 .bx-group-1012255-3RBnJGC {position: absolute;top: 50%;left: 50%;transform: translate(-50%, -50%);z-index: -1;}.bxc.bx-campaign-1012255 .bx-element-1012255-wryzWV5 {width: 55px;}.bxc.bx-campaign-1012255 .bx-element-1012255-wryzWV5 *:first-child {animation-name: bx-anim-1012255-spin;animation-duration: 800ms;animation-iteration-count: infinite;animation-timing-function: linear;}.bxc.bx-campaign-1012255 .bx-group-1012255-me4p1bl {padding: 10px;}.bxc.bx-campaign-1012255 .bx-element-1012255-ZdLO37u {width: auto;}.bxc.bx-campaign-1012255 .bx-element-1012255-ZdLO37u *:first-child {padding: 2px 4px;font-size: 10px;color: rgb(255, 255, 255);text-transform: uppercase;background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.34);}.bxc.bx-campaign-1012255 .bx-group-1012255-lyDBLV9 {width: 900 px;height: 550px;}

How to lead with influence instead of authority

How to lead with influence instead of authority How to lead with influence instead of authority Clearly, leadership potential exists within each of us. That potential can be triggered by outside events, or it can be learned by exploring ourselves from within. In this article, we will focus on the latter approach. Once you learn the superpower of gig economy leadership, you will be able to build the confidence it takes to take the lead and influence … and leap tall buildings in a single bound.They say that leaders are born, not made. While it is true that some people are born leaders, most leaders are forged the flames of adversity. Often, it is the individual contributor who has never had a leadership role will stand up and take the lead when a situation they care about requires it. As long as there have been leaders, there have been those who tried to determine how and why they were successful. It is important to understand that leadership is not about title, level, or office. Equally important to mention is that the best of leaders are even better followers.Ladders is now o n SmartNews!Download the SmartNews app and add the Ladders channel to read the latest career news and advice wherever you go.Leadership is not telling others what to do. Leadership is inspiring others to do what needs to be done. A title alone does not make you a leader. Genuine leaders take a stand and motivate others to join them in a noble purpose. It is through the skills of influence that leadership works best. Everyone has leadership potential within them, and understanding these concepts will help you maximize your leadership ability whether you lead a team, or as an individual contributor without positional authority.Influence is subtle, yet incredibly powerful. You can order someone to do a task, but you cannot order them to do their best. It simply does not work and usually has the opposite effect. You can influence people to do their best by providing a strong, motivating example in addition to positive reinforcement. Leadership addresses tasks, while influence addresses attitudes and awareness. Influence is the soul of leadership. What are the attributes of an individual who is influential without authority? Knowledge that is valued by those in authority because of institutional memory and administrative turnover Credibility built through actions, such as thinking beyond oneself and working towards building a larger â€" mutually beneficial â€" goal Integrity shown through possessing a set of core values that guide what they do, combined with an ability to project core values through actions Leadership is neither for the timid nor for the arrogant. Confidence is often resented or misinterpreted for arrogance. People who lack self-confidence often feel intimidated by a true leader. This should never hold you back. If you have honesty, integrity and deal with everyone fairly, then others will see that. Be willing to listen to criticism, but also consider the source. If you are too afraid of what others might say about you, or you ignore legitimate complaints insisting on respect solely because of your position, you will lose the respect and cooperation of your followers and peers.Believe it or not, the most powerful influence you can have is often not trying to influence someone. When people believe you are open to their suggestions and believe they have been heard, they will work harder even if they disagree with the methods or goals. That is the power of listening. Simply listening to others makes them feel empowered, even if you don’t accept their suggestions. If a pe rson feels there’s no point talking to you, they won’t, and they will disengage themselves and only follow your directions begrudgingly. So how do you exert influence without authority? Understand those whom you want to influence Focus primarily on attributes of those who are recognized as influential without authority because they are able to effectively use those attributes in a variety of contexts in order to either be heard or influence others Raise questions without seeming to push an agenda, especially when you are socially or in a vulnerable position You by now have heard the age-old anecdote that perception is reality. And that is a truth in influencing. You must always present an honest, caring, dedicated attitude to inspire your employees and peers. In addition to truly inspiring loyalty, you must also have a proven track record of honesty and fairness in the face of adversity. If any of your followers feel you have wronged them, for whatever reason, you need to address the issue immediately. People talk, and a problem that is ignored today is a problem that can grow into team eroding conflict later.Leading without influence means making it a point to be seen by your team every day, which sends a powerful message to everyone. If you are seen as going the extra mile, your team is more likely to go the extra mile. If you hide in your office and people never see you, you will be perceived as out of the loop, uninformed, uninterested, and therefore unworthy to lead.The more experience you have using your new leadership superpower, the easier it will be for you to be an agile leader. While it is never easy to take the lead, or easy to make in the moment decisions and face challenges, it can become natural and rewarding as you become a force for good leadership in today’s gig economy workforce.

How to Stay Organized When You Work at Home

How to Stay Organized When You Work at Home How to Stay Organized When You Work at Home Organizing your home life and work life is tough enough for everyone. Those who work at home, though, encounter  special challenges in keeping both their family and work obligations in their rightful places as the two realms mingle under one roof. Everyone’s style and ability for organizing differ, so a one-size-fits-all approach definitely doesnt work. However, these resources cover the types of things youll need to consider as you go about organizing your work-at-home life. Organizing Your Time Time is a precious commodity. Making the most of your time, by eliminating the commute, tops the list of reasons to work at home for many work-at-home parents, but time saved one place can be time wasted in another if you don’t take control of your time. Setting Expectations Effective time management for work-at-home parents starts with creating some ground rules for both your family and for yourself. One of those rules should be to set your working hours in advance. This will keep you from working too much or working too little, whichever is your tendency.  It brings better family balance because everyone knows what to expect. Minimizing Distractions No matter how good you are sticking to your ground rules, there will be distractions when you work at home. They will just be different from those that eat away at the day of your counterparts back in the office. Learning what they are for you and how to deal with distractions is an important skill. Choosing a Calendar System Use a calendar system that can be shared with all members of the family.  Google Calendar  work particularly well because they are free so children can each have their own, but parents can have access to them. Likewise, children see what’s going on for everyone else. For a calendar that everyone has access to, there’s also always a paper calendar hanging in the kitchen. The problem is this type of calendar is that you don’t have it with you when you are at the doctor’s or at a school function and need to add to it. Somewhere between the electronic and old-fashioned paper calendar is a weekly printout of all upcoming events hung in a prominent spot. Creating this every Sunday night will also help you spot conflicts in the family schedule  in the coming week. Organizing Your Spaces When your professional and personal lives occur in the same location, you need to take care to organize that physical space in a way that is conducive to productivity for both parts of your life. WorkSpaces A dedicated workspace is essential to anyone who works at home.  Ideally, your home office should be a room (with a door) that is not used for any other purpose. Most of us, though, just don’t have that kind of extra space in our homes, so we have to compromise.  It might be in a corner of a room, a bedroom or the dining room. Whats important is that this particular space is dedicated to that one purpose. Setting up your laptop on the kitchen table does not qualify as a home office! Design your home office space with your weaknesses, routines and your jobs and your family’s needs in mind.  Are you easily distracted by children vying for your attention while you work? Choose a space far from their play areas. Are you trying to do double duty by watching children while you work? Put yourself nearby them. Will you need quiet for teleconferencing and phone calls? Pick an out-of-the-way room with a door, like a bedroom. Whatever area you choose for your office, you need, at a minimum, a desk, chair, computer and some shelving or other storage space.  Take time to make it an inviting space, decorating it with pictures or mementos in the way that you might a cubicle in the office. You should enjoy being in this space. Don’t let others use the space when you are not, and don’t use it yourself for activities outside of your professional work. Don’t pay your bills there or fill out forms for your kids school. Keeping those professional and personal obligations from melting together starts with maintaining separate spaces. Family Spaces Keeping that workspace dedicated and separate is a lot easier if you have the other spaces in your home well organized. Create a family information hub.  Choose a space where you accumulate family-related information, e.g. mail that comes in, papers from school, etc. If you do use a paper calendar or a weekly listing of events, this is where it should be. If your kids are in school, make your life a bit easier by having a basket for them to deposit all the papers they bring home from school. You have a separate basket for bills and other paperwork. Pick the area where you will organize and process this information. It could be in the same area where it is accumulated, or it could be near your dedicated workspace. Just don’t mix it with your work-related papers.  In this case, its okay to pull out your laptop and use the kitchen table but create a space where all the needed items belong when you are not working on them.   You may be tempted to use your work computer to complete these tasks. Just like many of us don’t have extra rooms that can be exclusively used as home offices, we can’t all necessarily afford extra computer equipment. If at all possible, use a tablet or another computer for personal use. If you are employed telecommuter, you may have already agreed that company equipment is not for personal use as part of your telework agreement. If you are a freelancer or home business owner, it may seem more efficient to have just one computer but consider buying an inexpensive netbook or reusing an older computer. When you mix the personal and professional use of your computer, before long others in your family will be using it as well.

Should You Go for That Advanced Degree

Should You Go for That Advanced Degree Should You Go for That Advanced Degree Remember when we were young and impressionable with mothers and fathers who dreamed of having a house full of doctors, lawyers, and other professionals they called children?  While we’re pretty sure half the inspiration behind those dreams was the ability to get free medical or legal advice via their progeny, it’s a fact of life that higher education in America has a certain appeal that garners instant respect.  Whether flirting with someone at a bar, or networking during social events, the simple statement that you’re a doctor, “ have a masters”, or even are “working on your Ph.D.” puts you into a nearly mystical social circle reserved for those who are smart enough to figure out the encrypted password. The reality of advanced degrees, however, is that modern higher education has become more accessible and those extra letters behind your name aren’t are tough to obtain as they may have once been.  Sure, you’ll need to shell out some extra tuition money and probably spend a few extra years in a classroom or interning, but gone are the days when an advanced education was attainable only to a few. As the saying goes, however, just because you can do something, doesn’t mean you should.  While the idea of obtaining a post-graduate degree may awaken the inner child seeking approval from their parents, there are real-world costs and implications of devoting resources to graduate school.  Here we delve into the pros and cons of more education and offer advice and anecdotes to help assess whether you should go for that advanced degree or whether your time, money and energy are best suited for other pursuits. Not All Degrees are Created Equal Starting with the simplest consideration first; before running straight from your bachelors program into a masters, doctorate, or other graduate program, candidates should take some time to evaluate their focus of study.  While some advanced degrees allow you to qualify for niche professions, others may be more akin to icing on the education cake. Sure, everyone loves to go straight for the whipped cream cheese and sugar topping, but there isn’t a lot of substance there. Postgraduate degrees in generic fields such as English, history, math, or philosophy aren’t going to qualify you for many professions outright.  These types of educational pursuits can be rewarding, but they often aren’t necessary to attain a job or build a career in a specific field. In short, before setting out back to school for 3+ additional years, evaluate your area of study and do some research into which positions require that specific certification. Potential Upside for Your Chosen Career This brings us to the next consideration when it comes to choosing to pursue more education.  Before you sign on the dotted line for that student loan, work up the numbers to determine what will be the benefit on your short and long term career.   For some professions, this analysis will be fairly simple.  If you aim to score a position as a doctor, you’ll need medical school, a Ph.D., and residency in order to make it happen.  Similarly, lawyers require a JD in order to sit for the bar exam in most states. For some professions, such as finance or banking, advanced education in the form of a business school degree may give you a leg up initially when it comes to title or pay but might not make a difference long term when compared to hard work and on the job education. As with any important decision, before you set off on the postgraduate school path, evaluate your potential upsides and whether that degree is needed or if there may be another, less traveled route, that will see you get to the same career destination. What Will it Cost We’ve all seen the news reports and studies when it comes to education costs over the last several years.  To put it plainly, college and postgraduate schools are expensive and the overall financial impact of attaining any type of higher education continues to rise.  The average young person with a post graduate degree will enter the workforce with over $100,000 of student loan debt. That’s a staggering number for someone looking to start of their life and career with dreams of a home, family, and a dog named spot. Before making the decision to go for that advanced degree, put together the real world costs of attending an additional three or four years of school.  While tuition will make up the bulk of your calculations, other items will also contribute to your potential debt load. Many graduate schools ask students to pledge that they will focus on their studies and not hold outside jobs during the school year.  Summer months will often be spent in unpaid or low paid internships which are important in helping to secure post-graduation employment. Costs for housing, food, health insurance, and transportation will all need to be factored into the overall price of your advanced degree and should be used to help balance the overall costs versus return of additional education. Make a Conscious Choice Perhaps the best piece of advice we can leave with you when it comes to whether you should add a few more letters to your title is to be an active and conscious participant in the choice to stay in school.  In times of economic downturn when employment prospects look bleak, young graduates often choose to stay in school in order to defer payments on student loans or simply because they believe they lack additional options.   With the kind of monetary and personal investment that goes into headed back to school, it’s important to do so with eyes wide open.  Use the factors we’ve laid out above to help decide whether that masters really is a great idea for your personal and professional goals.  Whichever route you decide, your parents will still be proud of their successful, smart, child. And, hey, as a plus, if you decide not to grab your Ph.D. and become a doctor, after all, you can rest comfortably knowing you won’t be asked at the next family get together to examine that bunion on your aunt Edna’s big toe.
