How to conquer the great empty tomb

How to conquer the great empty tombHow to conquer the great empty tombIllustrations by John P. Weiss.Have you ever felt empty? Like whatever magic elixir that used to fuel yur creative life just sort of evaporated? Thats exactly how Jennifer felt.She worked at a great design firm in San Francisco. Had a decent apartment and a close circle of friends. But zu sichbei artistic and creative soul felt all used up.The otherbei day Jennifer was reading an art magazine in a cafe when she encountered this quote from Gustave FlaubertFor a long time now my heart has had its shutters closed, its steps deserted, formerly a tumultuous hotel, but now empty and echoing like a great empty tomb.Follow Ladders on FlipboardFollow Ladders magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and moreJennifer could relate to Flaubert. Like him, her creative heart felt like a great empty tomb. Where once she had been full of ideas and artistic yearning, now her energy and enthusiasm for work had waned. She felt adrift.On her way home from work recently, Jennifer bumped into Sid. He was a local homeless man with kind eyes and a knack for charming birds. Some said he was a mystic of sorts, but Jennifer never went for such silliness.He could often be found in Washington Park communing with the parrots of telegraph hill. Or feeding the local pigeons.Im so sorry, Jennifer said to Sid. I didnt landsee you there when I came around the corner. Thats what I get for always rushingNo worries, Sid said. Maybe you should make some time for birds.Make some time for birds? Jennifer asked.I see a lot of people in this city. Always racing to appointments, in a rush. They think theyre busy and getting ahead but really they havent learned how to do hard things.Sid reached down to a small cardboard kasten and opened it. Inside was a juvenile, white-crowned sparrow.Why do you have a little bird in a box? Jennifer asked as she gazed down at her wristwatch.Oh, I found him sick in the park, but Ive been feeding him and taking care of him. Hes almost ready to be on his own again. Sid smiled. I guess we all have times when we fall down and need to rest before we figure out where were going next.Sid, you said something about learning how to do hard things. What do you mean? Jennifer wanted to get home, but she was intrigued by this enigmatic bird whisperer.Oh, I just mean that people take the easy route. The path of least resistance. Not that they dont work. I mean, sometimes they even kill themselves at work. But theyre not doing the hard thing. Theyre not listening to their heart and pursuing that.I guess we all have to make a living before we go find ourselves, Jennifer said.Maybe, Sid said, adding But our hearts always know when were living a lie. Do you know what true hell is? It happens when, on the day you die, you meet the person you could have become. If we are to conjure our true selves and our creative best, we need to do hard things. We need to make the changes. Have the courage to walk our true path.Sid pointed at the MacBook laptop protruding from Jennifers geschftliches miteinander satchel and said, In another life, I worked in the tech industry. I remember Steve Jobs. He said something that I never forgot. And with that, Sid recited the following Steve Jobs quoteYour time is limited, so dont waste it living someone elses life. Dont be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other peoples thinking. Dont let the noise of others opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.Jennifer stared into Sids eyes and nodded. His words struck a deep chord. She realized in that instant that she didnt want to grow old, die and never become her best self. Her truest self.She realized that much of her life, she made decisions to please other people. Her parents. Boyfriends. Bosses at work. She needed to take a break, and reevaluate her future life pa th.The following month Jennifer took a long vacation. She had an MFA in painting and wanted to spend more time at the easel. She wondered what happened to her dreams of becoming a fine artist?She drove to Lake Tahoe to visit friends, do some skiing and a little outdoor painting.One afternoon she drove into the mountains and found a clearing to paint. The air was crisp as she set up her easel.Everything seemed to be falling into place. The small oil studies she produced were loose, colorful and exciting. She started to feel that old sense of excitement and possibilities.The last several years at the design firm had denied her the time to paint. Her dreams of becoming a fine artist had faded.Until now.Her fortuitous conversation with Sid sparked some serious introspection. Its not always easy to dive deep into your heart of hearts, but doing so can uncover painful truths and exciting new possibilities.Jennifer figured out why she was feeling so empty inside. She had lost her way. She had fallen down, just like Sids sick sparrow. And like the sparrow, Sid had found a way to help Jennifer, too.She knew now that she would have to do some hard things. Make some changes, so that she could pursue the fine arts that fueled her passions so many years ago.Just then she felt a flutter of movement beside her. A small bird landed on her easel. He was eyeing some of the trail mix Jennifer had in a bag beside her palette.Are you one of Sids friends? Jennifer said.She slowly pinched a bit of the mix and held it out in her palm. The small bird hopped on her hand and gently began pecking at the food.If only Sid could see this, Jennifer thought to herself.For the first time in several years, a sense of self-assurance and calm washed over her. She realized that her career and painting passion were not mutually exclusive.It was possible to change aspects of her schedule and carve out more time for her fine art. It was possible to become a pragmatic juggler and craft a more balanced and fulfilling life.When the little bird took flight from her easel, it was like he was carrying away the unhappiness that had been in her heart. She felt a renewed sense of joy and hope.Weeks later, as Jennifer was on her way to a figure painting class, she bumped into Sid.There she is, said Sid with a smile. A little friend of mine said you were back in front of your easel, painting.Jennifer laughed. Yes, its true. In fact, I have to thank you. Our past conversation got me thinking about my priorities. But I have to ask, how did you know I was painting again?I see the canvas panels and brushes poking out of your satchel, he said.Oh, yeah, of course, Jennifer said.But my little bird friend also told me about it, Sid added.Oh, did he now, Jennifer said, figuring Sid was joking around.Yes, Sid added, He told me you painted a beautiful vista in the mountains, and he appreciated the snack, too.What about you?Is there a dream in your heart that fell victim to the passage of time and re sponsibilities of life? Has your heart fallen victim to Flauberts great empty tomb? If so, youre not alone.Many of us set aside our creative passions in order to face the hard realities of making a living. Car payments, mortgages, children and health care all demand our attention.Who has time to paint, write poetry, make music or pursue creative activities? After all, there are bills to pay and demands on our time.So, we soldier on and bury our passions. The years click by. Then, one day, when the kids are grown and our careers are over, we try to rekindle our creative passions.We dive into those watercolor classes or pottery workshops, but a little part of our soul weeps. Why did I put this off my whole life? we ask ourselves.If you wait too long, it might be too lateThe good news is that you dont have to abandon your creative pursuits. You just have to learn how to design your life, instead of reacting to it. And, you dont need a mystical homeless man to inspire changes.Take some time to closely study your schedule. Search for pockets of time. You might think there are none, but there are.Swap out television time for your creative passion. Get up earlier. Learn to politely but firmly say no to commitments, clubs, and obligations that arent necessary. Stop worrying about disappointing others. If they truly care about you, they will understand.Learn to become a pragmatic juggler of your time. Youd be surprised how creative you can get with your schedule.Bit by bit, these pockets of time you claw back will allow you to pursue your creative passion. Doing so will inspire and reenergize your creativity.Before you know it, youll have crafted new routines. The creative passion and artful work you long neglected will come back to life, and like one of Sids birds, youll find yourself flying high again.Before you goIm John P. Weiss.

How to use a productive mood anchor to transform your entire dayHow to use a productive mood anchor to transform your entire dayRoutines are the foundation of a successful day.You do not only eat, brush your teeth or sleep routinely, you also work within a schedule that works for you and makes you perform at your best.Routines can improve your overall health, wealth, and productivity.Follow Ladders on FlipboardFollow Ladders magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and moreWithout them, you are likely to be distracted by everything that wants your attention every day.When you are running a work routine, your brain is on automatic pilot and rests. And guess what, you save energy and get more done without getting trapped in the afternoon productivity slump.An automatic morning routine changes everythingThe first few minutes of your work morning can make or break your entire day. If you use it right. you will platzset yourself up for peak productivity.How you wake up each day and your morning routine (or lack thereof) dramatically affects your levels of success in every single area of your life, says Hal Elrod, author ofThe Miracle Morning.Some people have perfect routines that guide their actions the minute they wake up. They pretty much know their triggers to get stuff done without getting distracted.Others struggle to start the day and tend to waste a lot of time before they finally get into flow. If you are not so good at making the most of your mornings when you have the most energy, starting today you can start using the productive mood anchor to get more stuff done before midday.Reduce moments of micro-stress first thing in themorningIf you are having a difficult morning, or you cant seem to find your flow, change the first thing you do that tells your brain you are ready for work.Here is a better approach Every morning when you are getting ready for your daily tasks, dont dive straight into things you have to /must/should do, indulge in activities you love first.It can be a side project, or an interesting book you are enjoying or a motivational podcast.You can also try sitting on the side of your bed and spend a few minutes to connect your mind and body to appreciate your surroundings or think about the accomplishments from yesterday.Dont reach for your phone to check email or social media.Take care of your own well-being first. The world can wait.Be present.You can also take a minute to think of all the things in your life you are happy and grateful for family or important connections is a great start.You could do mindful stretches to get your body moving.To increase the chances of making it stick, get up 30 minutes before your usual time to make time for it.Your mood will thank you for it.This starts your morning on an optimistic and happy note, putting you in the right frame of mind for tackling the day.That way, you are in charge. You are chosen to do what brings out the best in you first. What makes you come alive.Its calming, and not stressful. And strategic.Everyone has to catch up with something related to work. And if you dont particularly enjoy what you do, your body will begin to release stress hormones the moment you wake up.You dont want that. If you can give yourself a better start, everything changes for the rest of the day.Brief moments of anxiety, or micro-stresses, add up throughout the day. Do something meaningful to prepare your mind for the rest of the day.Find your productive mood anchor (actiontrigger)Good habits, which bring our lower passions and appetites under automatic control, leave our natures free to explore the larger experiences of life. Too many of us divide and dissipate our energies in debating actions which should be taken for granted.Ralph W. SockmanOnce you are in the best mode possible, use a personal anchor that tells your brain you are ready to tackle your MITs (most important things ) for the day.The most popular productiv ity mode anchors (action triggers) are coffee, tea, and get-things-done soundtracks.According to psychologists,action triggersare the best ways to create new habits.A trigger an action that automatically sets off a reaction.If you establish the right and healthy trigger, you are bound to execute the new habit every time such trigger is produced.A trigger that tells your body and mind you are ready for work.For many people, the mere association of coffee and getting on with work becomes so strong that they dont need to force the situation anymore.A trigger an action that automatically sets off a reaction.If you establish the right and healthy trigger, you are bound to execute the new habit every time such trigger is produced.A trigger that tells your body and mind you are ready for work.For many people, the mere association of coffee and getting on with work becomes so strong that they dont need to force the situation anymore.Get yourself in a productive mood by finding your producti ve mood anchor.fruchtwein people have something that serves as a good anchor for their productive moods.

If your job feels like work, you may want to rethink your life

If yur job feels like work, you may want to rethink your lifeIf your job feels like work, you may want to rethink your lifeRob Goodman and I spent the last five yearsstudying the lifeof one of the worlds great geniuses Claude Shannon, who is known as the father of information theory.Part of the reason we were drawn to him welches that, of the geniuses we studied, he seemed to be the one we could learn the most from. Einstein and Turing seemed to us to be a bit distant and otherworldly Shannon, on the other hand, always seemed like a guy who you could spend time with.We didas close a lookat his habits as two biographers could. While not all of us will do high-level mathematical research or build ground-breaking machines, many of us can benefit from the lessons and habits that stood behind Shannons work. Here are just a few1.If it feels like work, you may want to rethink what youre doingWe called our bookA Mind At Playbecause thats what Shannon welches a mind playing. He saw everything he did - from theoretical mathematics to building robots, to playing chess, to writing about artificial intelligence - as a vast and interesting game.He had tough moments, of course, but there are remarkably few of them for a life in which he achieved so much. Part of that is that he was rigorous about pursuing projects that he felt would bring him joy.He saw his work as a series of games and puzzles he wanted to figure out what made things tick. That spirit of curious play drove him to extraordinary achievement, an example that all of us could benefit from.2. Know when to stopShannon had an attic stuffed with half-finished papers. There were contraptions all over his house that he never got around to completing. He was invited to give lectures that he never gave and he won awards he never formally accepted.Shannon wasnt a finisher of everything he touched - and while that might run counter to a lot of modern advice on productivity, we actually think theres real wisdom in it. No t everything you make needs to ship. Some things you do for you.Shannon would work until he felt satisfied - and then move on to other things. Where some people see a dilettante, we see a fertile mind that knew exactly how far to take a project before moving on.3. Dont worry about external recognitionFor someone who won so many awards, Shannon seemed not to care about them at all. He collected so many honorary university degrees, for instance, that he hung them all from a sort of rotating tie rack he built himself. He never chased prizes, or tenure, or awards, at least not in the way that a lot of people of his caliber do.When he won something, he was always surprised that he won - and in some cases, surprised that he was considered at all. Even in college, he won a big award for his Masters thesis. It turned out that his mentor put him up for it.As Shannon wrote to his mentor in a letter, I have a sneaking suspicion that you have not only heard about it but had something to do wi th my getting it. If so, thanks a lot.Shannons indifference to external recognition ran bone deep When he said I dont really care about prizes, he meant every word.Why does this matter? Because it gave him tremendous flexibility in what to work on and how to work on it. He didnt walk around caring about what proper professors did or did not do. He just went about his work, pursued his passions, and managed to wring remarkable breakthroughs out of his research.4. Work with your handsFrom the time he was a boy, Shannon was building things. In his childhood, it was a barbed wire network that allowed him to talk to a neighbor a half mile away. He and a friend built a makeshift elevator in a barn. This hobby stuck. All his life, he was making real objects, often to answer questions that seemed to him to require a physical representation.We think theres something to that. How many of us would feel comfortable these days taking apart our cell phones or laptops, or fixing our cars, or getti ng into the guts of an appliance?Theres been some decent writing on this topic (Matthew CrawfordsShopclass as Soulcraftcomes to mind), but the general idea is that were impoverishing ourselves by not understanding the objects all around us and trying to make sense of how they work.Maybe its too much to ask that we crack open our iPhones (and of course, wed violate Apples terms of service if we did), but we cant help but think that Shannons hands-on tinkering helped to contribute to his genius. We could probably all benefit from something like that in our lives.This article originally appeared on Quora.

A Robot That Prints Tissue

A Robot That Prints Tissue A Robot That Prints Tissue A Robot That Prints TissueAdvanced Solutions Life Sciences has created a six-axis robotic 3D printing workstation that can be used to create tissue, cells, biological gels and coatings, and perhaps eventually an entire human organ, such as a heart. The six-axis robot is more precise than the typical three-axis bioassembly tool used to print tissue, which Lehanna Sanders, the companys business development manager, says are slow and dont typically handle curves well.Currently, researchers use her companys Bioassembly Bot to fabricate biological tissue structures on which to run experiments, but in the future it could help with patient diagnostics and may be used to print living tissue inside patients during surgery, she says.The printer, for example, isnt restricted to printing on a flat surface. A video at the companys web site shows an angiogram printed on to the contoured surface of the heart, for example.This comes in at an angl e to make structures on something thats not a flat surface, which is important for eventually generating tissues anddown the linefull organs, Sanders says.Researchers look on as robotic 3D printing workstation works. Image Advanced Solutions Life SciencesThe Louisville, KY-based company came up with the design for the multi-axis printer and incorporated the modular heads on an Epson robotic obere extremitt. The arm and the number of axes allow surgeon-like precision when building 3D tissue structures, says Michael Golway, the companys president and chief executive officer.Its the robotic nature of the tool, along with its six axes, that turn the 3D printer into a 3D biofabrication device. Up to ten independent types of materials can be loaded in the printing workstation during one print run. That means experimenters can use different cell types or materials within a single test, Sanders says.The machine can be loaded with up to ten different types of fluids for printing and is capab le of printing organ structures down to a resolution of 20 m in a 300 mm by 250 mm by 150 mm build volume. The workstation includes automated syringe exchange, automatic calibration of syringe tips, and a variety of utilities aimed at precisely leveling the print bed. The device also includes a live feed of the action as it happens.Relying on its laser sensors, the robot arm can, for example, select a syringe from a storage rack and dispense organic materials in set amounts to build, from scratch, a functioning biological model.With the 6-axis robotic arm the bioprinter precisely builds 3D tissue. Image Advanced Solutions Life SciencesFor another type of experiment, the pick-and-place robotic nature of the arm allows tool to pick up a multi-well plate to begin an experiment.Within the wells, you can print 3D tissue structures, like a tissue scaffold, at a pretty small scale, and then you can print cells within that and do different co-culture experiments, she adds. So you can genera te a working unit of an organ within each well and itd be in 3D but at a very small scale.Or, researchers might print a single form of a 3D tissue structure to run analysis of different chemical structures within the wells, Sanders says.The 3D printing robot automates such experiments.We print the tissues, perform the experiment, and a lid can be added to the plate. The entire experiment is done without anyone touching it, she says.Also important is the Tissue Structure Information Modeling (TSIM) software Advanced Solutions developed along with the hardware. That software acts as a CAD program for biology and calling upon graphical images rather than lines of manual codes.With TSIM, researchers can scan organs and tissues, then use those scans to create and manipulate 3D models that the BioAssembly Bot prints for experiments, Sanders says.Those modelsalong with 3D prints of those modelswill one day be helpful in diagnosing patients, she says.Because TSIM is integrated with the robo tic assembly device, physicians and researchers can import patient-specific data sets from computer tomography scans or magnetic resonance images and generate 3D structures based on that data.Theres already a lot of work being done in 3D printing peoples tissues based on CT or MRI as a diagnostic tool and we fit well into that, she says.Alternatively, researchers can build their own model and assign various material properties to parts of the model, specify print parameters, and eventually hold in their hands a 3D version of the printed model.The robotic device can also print from the stereolithography files other CAD systems generate for 3D printing, Sanders says.The machines price starts at $159,995.Due to its flexibilityagain, including its capability to print on contoured surfaced like the heartthe biological robotic assembly machine could one day operate within a patient, Sanders said. If something needed to be printed in situ, thats possible I think.Our long-reaching goal for this to directly affect patients, she adds.Jean Thilmany is an independent writer.So you can generate a working unit of an organ within each well and itd be in 3D but at a very small scale.Lehanna Sanders, Advanced Solutions Life Sciences

3 Keys to Developing Daily Disciplines

3 Keys to Developing Daily Disciplines Article by Todd DuncanTime is yur greatest resource. If you struggle with managing it, you likely have not yet harnessed the power of daily disciplines.As the biblical book of Proverbs says, He who neglects discipline despises himself. The most powerful decision you will ever make for your productivity is the choice to build rhythm and know-how around doing what matters most. When you do that, you feel good about yourself and can achieve at a higher level. Being a high performer is the result of your daily disciplines.Time Management Is a Waste of TimeFor most people, time management is like raking water lots of activity, limited results. We are limited not by time, but by how we use the time we have. Time management is life management. Time management is values management. Time management is activity management. You and I will never be clever enough to control our time, but we can choose the eventsto which we al locate our time. When those events are repeated through daily discipline, our productivity soars, our spirits are enlarged, and we develop unstoppable determination.3 Keys to Developing Daily Disciplines Key No. 1 Clarify Your ValuesIf you dont know what is important to you, you will spend time doing what is not.When you know what is important and commit to those things as must-dos, you create the ecosystem for a more effective use of your time.When your activities are in alignment with what is significant to you, you suddenly know inner peace. High levels of inner peace reduce stress,calming you throughout your day. We all need a full grasp of those things that mean the most to us. I suggest we spend at least 15 minutes a day in a quiet state of mind to see how we can discover fulfillment in any of our important value areas.There is a saying, often attributed to Roy Disney, brother of Walt When values are clear, decisions are easy.Deciding what to do with your time should be easy i f you are clear on your values and spend time reviewing them on a daily basis. Knowing your values also helps you frame what not to do, which may be even more critical to your performance. Once your value areas are clear, you can move from behavior to habit.Key No. 2 Block the TimeBefore a habit is formed, you must commit to repeated behavior. To create rhythm and routine is to decide in advance what your day and week will look like and then discipline yourself to live accordingly. The discipline comes from your values and living in accordance with them.Managing time is not about post-it notes. Its not scribbled to-do lists. Its definitely not being connected all day long with unvetted technology. Effective time blocking and blocking interruptions that mess up those time blocks is the key.Time blocks are planned segments of time that help you complete your most important predetermined activities. They are, at their core, disciplines that lead to achievement. They are nonnegotiable s.For example, I have a Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday morning discipline of riding my bike 50 miles. My wife, Deb, and I have a Sunday night debrief where we get to tell each other what we did well over the previous week and plan accordingly for the upcoming week. Every day between 1000 a.m. and 1100 a.m., I call three decision-makers to connect, add value, and advance relationships.Key No. 3 Form the HabitsWhy arent people as productive as they might be? Mostly because they miss the difference between trying to be productive and committing to being productive. Habits are only formed when the behavior attempted becomes permanent.Here are some ideas to help you stay focused on forming the habit of honoring your daily disciplines Be proactiveEveryone who moves toward a more productive life does not wait for life to come at them. They go out and make it happen. They know that everything has a proactive solution. You can hope that life will get better for as long as you like, but unless you do something to back up those hopes, littlewill change. Change must come from within. Heres a great question If you continue on the path you are now on, will your life improve and take you to the level of your dreams? Life will give you what you tolerate and accept Fight multitasking Multitasking is the fast track to low performance. It gets in the way of your greatness No one has everhad amanager congratulate them for being busy. The key question is Busy doing what? High-performance people are not busy they are productive. Rather than multitasking, they master the species of one-thing thinking. According to a Harvard Business Review article, multitasking can cut productivity by as much as 40 percent and IQ by 10 points Moreover, according to aUniversity of California, Irvine, study, it takes 23 minutes to get back on track following an interruption. Practice The Five-Minute Rule I learned an amazingly powerful discipline when I was 23 years old. I call it The Five-Minute Rule. I was studying high-performance salespeople and was reading an article about an insurance agent who was makingmore than $1 million a year in sales commissions. He was asked, What is the best advice you could give any salesperson? He said, Spend five minutes every hour evaluating how the last 55 minutes went, and correct. Once I started using this rule, Iwas able to identify all the things getting in the way of my productivity. I learned how to fix and manage interruptions. I learned how to say no, which is the most powerful word when it comes to being productive. Within a year, I had increased my income by more than 400 percent.Whether you are doing business, living life, or both, the most important truth is your life will be defined by your daily disciplines. The choices you make,the impact you have, and the results you achieve your entire destiny itsall in your disciplines.A version of this article originally appeared on SUCCESS.com.Todd Duncan is a sales entrepreneur and game-c hanging speaker withmore than 5 million students around the globe whom he has mentored and taught in life, time, and sales mastery.

no one is reading my resumes skills section

no one is reading my resumes skills section no one is reading my resumes skills section A reader writesI was wondering what your thoughts are in general on having a skills section on resumes. Ive seen pretty ambiguous skills sometimes, but I only list concrete technical skills, e.g. video editing with Adobe Premiere, NOT things like engages with industry influencers. For me especially, I thought it would be helpful because my skills are sometimes useful in my field, but Ive only been doing them outside of paid work. But Im wondering if a skills section dont carry real weight with interviewers, or if the work history section totally overshadows it.I ask because at the last few interviews I went to, it turned out they actually wanted some with a skill of mine but when I reminded them that I had that skill, their response was, Oh you do? like they hadnt even noticed. Ive even been telling a project management story in my titelblatt letter about the time one of these skills came in han dy, so Im wondering how they can learn enough to bring me in for an interview but totally blow past the fact that Ive been doing exactly the special thing they wanted. I was at one today and the interviewer threw it out there wistfully, like it was pie in the sky she wouldnt be able to find We have so many promo clips to edit for the webpage. It would be SO nice to get a chocolate teapot crafter who could edit video, but I mean, what are the chances that someone knows how to craft chocopots AND edit video?Do I need to move the Skills section to the top of my resume? Do I need to make it bigger? Does it have to live strictly in my cover letter from now on because interviewers just dont care about stuff beyond job history descriptions? Or should I not sweat it because it keeps turning out to be a nachschlag skill rather than the meat of the job?Yeah, I think a lot of people just arent bothering to read that section or retain it, largely because so many peoples skills sections are tot ally useless (listing things that are a given in their field, like Word, or listing ridiculous subjective self-assessments like strong communication skills, works well in groups and independently, and other useless proclamations).I wouldnt move the section or make it bigger. Instead, if the stuff youre including in there is integral to what you want to convey about yourself as a candidate, find a way to include it in the work section, which is really the most important part of your resume and your candidacy. For instance, instead of listing video editing in your skills section, talk about it in a bullet point under the jobs where you edited videos. Doing thatwill also allow you frame it in terms of what accomplished with the skill, instead of just noting the skill itself and thats always better and more convincing.

Break Into The Hidden Job Market Easily

Break Into The Hidden Job Market EasilyBreak Into The Hidden Job Market EasilyI just received a fantastic question from a jobseeker, A company Im interested in is getting ready to start building the corporate offices about 2 miles from my home. It is a massive project and something my construction management skills might be well suited for. Any ideas how to get in the door?Well, fancy that you should ask, because yes, in fact, I do have several ideas on how to get in the door. Lets talk about how to break into the hidden job market the right way.First of all, why is this a hidden job market opportunity at all? The reason is this the job is not advertised. The candidate did not come across it online (where 1,000) of his closest competitors also saw it the same moment he did. Rather, he learned of the opportunity just by knowing his neighborhood.Theres a lesson for you there become aware of whats going on around you. Whether thats a stones throw from your front door, or a 15-20 mile ra dius from your home, get your finger on the pulse of what is happening in your local market. Use search-based Internet research and gather your local newspapers to keep up on business news whos coming into the market, whos building a new division, and whos launching a new product.So, what are the best strategies to take advantage of this opportunity?1) Build a list of companies youre interested in.Once youve conducted your research to identify the movers and shakers in your city or town, build a targeted list of companies. 10 should be the nadir the most successful candidates make a list of 30. By doing so, youre upgrading from job search to company search.The difference is important. A job search is finite if you apply for that opportunity and dont get it, its over. Not so with a company search. There are numerous opportunities to potentially uncover within the organization as a whole.2) Use LinkedIn advanced search.You need to make LinkedIn advanced search your new best friend. Th ere are numerous options you can select in order to narrow down your findings to the company, location, and individual(s) you need. Initiate LinkedIn connections with the HR specialists, recruiters, and relevant functional decision makers the people who would like be your bosses. For example, if youre an IT manager, identify the Director, IT and VP, IT as functional decision makers with whom you need to connect.3) Send a short, value-laden note.This is going to be short and sweet. Indicate that you came across their organization and see they are involved in A, B and C. Your expertise is X, Y and Z, which youre thinking constitutes a solid fit. Ask if that person is willing to hop on the phone with you for 5 minutes this week.Thats it.Now, keep your expectations realistic. Will you hit a home run every single time? No. Will you do so some of the time yes. What about if you dont do this strategy at all? Then the answer is 100% no.The jobseekers that step forward, reach out, and make connections with new people are the ones who succeed time and again. Make sure to put yourself in the category of people who graduated from job seeking to employed.

How to Find a Work-From-Home Job

How to Find a Work-From-Home Job How to Find a Work-From-Home Job Its the dream of every exhausted professional: keep the paycheck, and the career advancement, but lose the expensive and tiresome commute. If youd just as soon do your job in your pajamas- or, at any rate, far from the madding crowds of the cubicle farm there are several solid options for making your work-at-home career blossom. Heres how to get started. 1. Negotiate With Your Boss Many of todays jobs require only an internet connection and maybe a phone line. If your present gig is one of these, you might be able to talk your manager into allowing you to work at home on a full- or part-time basis. The best way to do this is to demonstrate that letting you do your job from a home office will benefit the company. Focus your argument on the productivity gains, and therefore the money the company stands to earn. Be prepared to back up your claims with real numbers, hopefully with dollar signs in front of them. Your case will be stronger if youre able to demonstrate your ability to get stuff done while outside the office. If youre already allowed to work at home on an occasional basis, be sure to put in your very best work whenever youre having a work-at-home day. If your manager and colleagues have to go looking for you during your WAH, itll be hard to persuade them that you can be trusted with a more permanent arrangement. 2. Look Online If the job you have doesnt lend itself to working from home, or youre in the market for a new job altogether, take a look at one of the many online job search sites that allow you to search just for work-from-home opportunities. Monster, Craigslist, and CareerBuilder all have searchable listings that you can filter with keywords like work from home or work at home or freelance. In addition, specialty job sites like FlexJobs allow you to search vetted banks of telecommuting, freelance, and a part-time work (generally, for a fee). If you go it on your own, just be sure to avoid scams. The old adage is true: if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Other warning signs of internet job scams include outrageously high pay, vague job descriptions or titles, or people contacting you out of the blue via email with any of the above. Finally, never, ever give anyone your bank account information, credit card number, or any identifying personal information that could help someone steal your cash or worse, your identity. Work-from-home scammers often try to sell their victims a kit to help them get started, but the best-case scenario is that youll waste your money. 3. Focus on Companies or Specific Jobs So no, youre probably not going to make six figures stuffing envelopes or processing rebates. But you can make a decent living working at home by using the resources described above, or looking specifically at companies which feature a large number of work-from-home positions or by investigating career paths that lend themselves to telecommuting. One such job is working for closed captioning services.  There are also work-from-home computer jobs that dont require a great deal of experience.

Things to Consider When Developing a Drug-Free Workplace

Things to Consider When Developing a Drug-Free Workplace Things to Consider When Developing a Drug-Free Workplace In a drug-free workplace, the employer has taken steps and initiated policies to ensure that employees, vendors, and customers are not: taking or using alcohol or drugs,selling drugs, oraffected by the after-effects of indulging in alcohol or drugs outside of the workplace during non-work time. Additionally, the goal of a drug-free workplace program, as they have traditionally been developed, is to encourage an employee with a substance abuse problem to seek treatment, recover, and return to work. Sobriety programs were initiated as early as 1914 by the Ford Motor Company and have taken many shapes and forms over the years. The concept of a drug-free workplace began when Ronald Reagan signed into law Executive Order 12564 that banned the use of drugs both on and off duty for federal employees. It resulted in the Drug-free Workplace Act of 1988. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Drug-Free Workplace Programs, Today, the concept of a Drug-Free Workplace has become the norm with large and medium-size employers. Efforts are continually made by Federal, State, and civic and community organizations to bring the Drug-Free Workplace experience to a greater percentage of smaller employers. Interested in the impact of alcohol and drug use in your workplace? These statistics about alcohol and drug use should catch your attention. As you consider whether a drug-free workplace program is appropriate and needed in your workplace, these are the reasons for having a drug-free workplace program. I have also included the main reason why employees object to a drug-free workplace program. Finally, I have listed the components of a successful drug-free workplace program. Why Establish a Drug-free Workplace Program? You will want to consider setting up a drug-free workplace program for these reasons. You value the health and safety of all of your employees. You are concerned that any employee who may be working under the influence of alcohol or drugs could injure himself or another employee.You are concerned about the impact of unhealthy lifestyle choices on medical and insurance costs for your business.You believe that alcohol or drug impairment impacts all aspects of an employee’s life negatively. These negative impacts, such as broken families, cannot help but flow over into the workplace and manifest as absenteeism, lower productivity, and damaged relationships. You believe that the productivity of any worker who is impaired at work is negatively impacted.For some industries and jobs, drug-free workplace programs are mandated.In some industries, especially when products are easily stolen and sold, substance abusers may account for a large portion of product loss.Finally, you want to send a powerful message to all employees about behavior that is and is not supported at work. Your non-abusing employees deserve this support. What Constitutes a Comprehensive Drug-free Workplace Program? An effective drug-free workplace program shares the characteristics that most effective workplace initiatives share. Workplace efforts that yield results provide: Active, visible leadership and support by the managers and other company leaders;Clearly written policies and procedures that are publicized, trained, and uniformly applied to all employees; with well-trained managers, supervisors, union representatives, and Human Resources staff who understand their roles, rights, and responsibilities;Involvement from a cross-section of employees from across the company and union involvement, in a represented workplace, in the development of the policy and program; Additional training for employees in the dangers of alcohol and drug abuse;Methods of assistance for employees who voluntarily admit they have a substance abuse problem;Access to substance abuse treatment and follow-up for employees who have been identified as having problems;Clearly stated policies about the disciplinary action that will be taken if an employee, with a problem that is impacting the workplace or whose actions are in violation of the workplace policies, fails to obtain help; andWays to identify people with alcohol, drug, or other substance abuse problems, including drug testing. The goal of a drug-free workplace program is to provide the opportunity for the employee to obtain treatment, overcome their substance abuse issues, and return to work. With some attention to these measures, you can establish and promote a healthy, drug-free workplace for all of your employees. The Downside to a Drug-free Workplace Program The major downside to a drug-free workplace program is that employees object to the random drug testing component that is present in most programs. Employers who choose to execute the drug testing component need to be sensitive to the fact that most employees consider drug testing as intrusive and evidence of a lack of employer trust. Opponents of drug testing believe that non-substance abusers are subjected to ill-treatment because of the actions of a few employees.Employees may feel their privacy is being invaded and that what they do outside of work is not their employer’s business.Failing a drug test does not mean that the employee was impaired at work, just that they used a substance within the time parameters that the test checked. Again, the use could have had no impact on their work performance whatsoever.Employees fear that the off-work use of drugs or alcohol may bring the same consequences to an employee as would be applied to an employee who abused substances on the job. Opponents of drug testing believe that while there are Federal regulations for drug testing, there are hundreds of state and local jurisdictions that do not regulate or oversee the methods employers use for drug testing. Consequently, if you do make random drug testing a part of your drug-free workplace program, make sure you treat your employees with dignity and respect and honor their privacy. Consult with legal experts to ensure your compliance with state, Federal, and international workplace laws. Heed also the fact that medical marijuana usage is increasing and becoming legal in many jurisdictions. The drug testing policy should specify the type of drug testing used, the frequency of the drug testing, and the names of the substances for which the employee will be tested. The drug testing policy should provide fair and consistent methods for employee selection for drug testing.

Swiss Funicular Named as an ASME Landmark

Swiss Funicular Named as an ASME Landmark Swiss Funicular Named as an ASME Landmark Swiss Funicular Named as an ASME Landmark The Giessbach Funicular, the first single-track cable car for use on steep inclines, was designated as ASME's 259th Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark at a ceremony at the Grandhotel Giessbach in Brienz, Switzerland, on Aug. 27. Last month, the Giessbach Funicular, the first single-track cable car for use on steep inclines, became ASME’s 259th Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark. The vehicle was designated as an ASME landmark during a special ceremony on Aug. 27 at the Grandhotel Giessbach in Brienz, Switzerland, where the funicular is still used to transport passengers up and down the 330-foot slope between the Alpine resort and Lake Brienz. The Giessbach Funicular was the fourth ASME landmark to be designated in Switzerland, following the designations of the Neuchâtel Gas Turbine in 1988, the Paddle Steamer Uri in 1998, and the Pilatusbahn rack railway in 2002. The ceremony in Brienz was attended by a contingent of ASME leaders, including ASME President Julio C. Guerrero; Larry Lee, past chair of the ASME History and Heritage Committee; Jaroslaw Szwedowicz, chair of ASMEs Switzerland Section; Francesco Alicino, chair of the Italy Section; and Hans Wettstein, the landmarks nominator. (Left to right) ASME President Julio Guerrero, Vera Weber, president of the Franz Weber Foundation, and Roman Codina, general manager, Grandhotel Giessbach, at the unveiling of the ASME landmark plaque. (Photo by Wil Haywood, ASME Public Information) Designed by Carl Roman Abt and built in 1879, the Giessbach Funicular employed a single track with a short passing track at the half-way point that allowed the two cars to pass each other. The passing track used turnouts with no moving parts also known as Abt switches for safe and reliable operation. Wheels with outside flanges on one car and inside flanges on the other guided the cars through the turnout and around one another. The mid-way turnout allowed for the systems single-track construction, which reduced the size of the track structure and made the Giessbach Funicular more economical than earlier funiculars that operated on two tracks. The Giessbach Funicular, which is still in operation, carries passengers up and down the 330-foot slope between the Alpine resort and Lake Brienz. During the presentation of the ASME landmark plaque, President Guerrero noted that the Giessbach Funicular opened just seven months before ASME was founded in early 1880, during a period known as the Belle Epoch - an era of peace and prosperity in Western Europe that was also considered the second wave of the Industrial Revolution. The funicular at the Grandhotel Giessbach has enchanted visitors to Brienz for 136 years, Guerrero said. While it is known as a luxury attraction to one of the most charming spots on Earth, this funicular is not well known in the public eye as an extraordinary engineering achievement that merits landmark status. ASME is pleased to bring this technology to the attention of the world as a product of mechanical engineering. Participants at the landmark designation ceremony for the Giessbach Funicular included (left to right) Peter Abt, descendant of Abt switch engineer Carl Roman Abt; Hans Wettstein, landmark nominator; ASME President Julio Guerrero; Vera Weber, president of the Franz Weber Foundation; Roman Codina, general manager, Grandhotel Giessbach; Jaroslaw Szwedowicz, chair of ASME's Switzerland Section; and Larry Lee, past chair of the ASME History and Heritage Committee. (Photo by Wil Haywood, ASME Public Information) In addition to the representatives from ASME, other participants at the ceremony included Peter Abt, descendant of Giessbach Funicular designer Carl Roman Abt; Roman Codina, general manager of the Grandhotel Giessbach; and Vera Weber, president of the Franz Weber Foundation.

4 Red Flags to Pay Attention to While Job Hunting

4 Red Flags to Pay Attention to While Job Hunting 4 Red Flags to Pay Attention to While Job Hunting The job search process is as much a way for the applicant to see if he wants to work for a company as it is a chance for companies to see if they want to hire him. Just like the interviewer can't find out everything he'd like about the person he's interviewing, the candidate can't predict for sure whether he'll be happy in the position. Keeping an eye out for a few red flags may be helpful. 1. Lack of preparation during the interview. It's a bad sign when the job applicant shows that he or she is unprepared during an interview, but the same can be said of hiring managers. If a candidate is kept waiting long after his scheduled interview time; is told at the last minute or repeatedly that the company needs to reschedule the meeting; or discovers that the interviewer was unprepared or inattentive during the meeting, the applicant may start to wonder if the company is similarly disorganized in other aspects. 2. Negative impressions of company culture during the interview. An interview provides applicants with the chance to enter their prospective office and get a glimpse of the employer's company culture. The candidate can observe if employees are interacting with each other and working collaboratively or if there is little talk in the office and most people keep to themselves and work independently. The candidate can also get a gut feeling of the office atmosphere by observing whether workers appear rushed and stressed or, on the other extreme, appear to be wasting time and doing little productive work. These glimpses can tell the candidate a lot about what he can expect if he is hired, and whether he'll feel comfortable with the company culture. 3. Low salary relative to job description. A low salary for a job description that includes numerous responsibilities and a hefty workload and requires ample experience isn't only a problem because it makes it more difficult to pay the bills - it's a sign of how the company values its workers. 4. High turnover. If the last few people to hold the job quit after just a few months, the candidate can reasonably expect that the same thing may happen to him. A high turnover rate indicates that the company offers jobs, but not necessarily careers, and is fairly comfortable with frequently replacing its workers rather than investing in them.   Published Courtesy of Brafton

Top Resume Tips from the #1 Resume Writing Service

Top Resume Tips from the #1 Resume Writing Service Top Resume Tips from the #1 Resume Writing Service As a top resume writing service, ResumeSpice understands that unless you’re a pro at writing resumes, then you probably dread the process. Not to worry. You’re certainly not alone. It seems like in today’s competitive job market, one wrong word choice or small mistake on your resume could potentially cost you the job offer. But, here’s the good news: there are some top resume tips you can put to use today to improve your resume and stand out in a sea of other job candidates. To help you, here are five of them: Tip #1: Make your resume easy to read. You can have all the experience in the world. But if your resume is verbose and convoluted, it’s not going to get read. Keep in mind that hiring managers only scan resumes for a few seconds. That’s why you need to make it as easy as possible for them to read at-a-glance the important details of yours. You can do this with the right formatting â€" boldface, bullet points, a professional-looking font, and plenty of white space. Tip #2: Focus on accomplishments. Another top resume tip? Focus on accomplishments. Hiring managers don’t need to know so much that you were responsible for answering phones and responding to emails. Instead, they want to know the impact your work performance had in the company, your colleagues, your manager, and the bottom line. So, anytime you can, quantify your accomplishments with numbers and always talk about the effect you had. For instance, rather than just saying you “answered the phone,” instead say: “Answered service calls and worked with customers to resolve issues in a timely manner to their complete satisfaction.” Tip #3: Customize your resume. You can create one overall resume. But, if you want the best resume â€" and the best results â€" you should always customize it to the particular position and company. For instance, you might include certain responsibilities and achievements that are highly relevant for one employer, but not another. If you list a summary of qualifications, you can also re-order it so the attributes that are most important to each individual employer are listed at the top. Tip #4: Don’t include irrelevant information. When it comes to your resume, another top resume writing tip is that you don’t need to include information about hobbies. Nor do you need to report that “references are available upon request.” Simply stick to a traditional approach, which includes a summary of qualifications; chronologically listing out your job history in reverse order; covering your educational background; and highlighting any other important skills, such as those related to computer proficiencies or volunteer experience. Tip #5: Proofread it multiple times. Before you hit the “send” button, you’re going to want to proofread your resume several times. Even better, ask someone you trust to proofread it for you. With their fresh eye and perspective, they’re more likely to catch inconsistencies and mistakes that are harder for you to notice. Ready for professional help from the top resume writing team? Call ResumeSpice at 832.930.7378. We can help take your resume from good to great â€" so you stand out and get noticed by hiring managers.

Learn About the Early History of Forensic Science Hsi Duan Yu

Learn About the Early History of Forensic Science Hsi Duan Yu Learn About the Early History of Forensic Science Hsi Duan Yu Today, the word forensics has become synonymous with crime and crime scene investigation. Immediately conjuring images of crime labs, ultraviolet lights, and high-tech computers, popular crimes shows like CSI have brought increased attention to the field of forensic science. Theyve also generated newfound interest in forensics careers. The term forensic comes from the Latin and means, simply, having to do with the law. Hence, any discipline that has any ties to the legal system is, in fact, forensic. This is why so many job titles within criminology, such as forensic psychologist, are preceded by the term. With regard to forensic science, the term is now commonly understood to refer to the application of scientific principles to questions of law. In short, it means using science to solve crime. A New Discipline As ingrained into our criminal justice system as forensic science would seem, the truth is that it is a relatively recent addition, even considering the young history of modern criminology. When In Rome The earliest roots of forensic science as we know it can be found in ancient Greek and Roman society. These western civilizations brought great advances in the medical field as well as pharmacology. Extensive knowledge was developed regarding the production, use, and symptoms of various poisons, making it possible to identify their use in previously undetected murders. Et Tu Brute? The First Autopsy In the year 44 B.C., the Roman physician Antistius examined the body of the recently slain Julius Caesar and determined that, though the dictator was stabbed 23 times, only one wound through his chest caused his actual death. This is widely regarded as the first recorded autopsy. The First Innocence Project Case? Since the Roman model is the basis for our court and legal system today, it is fitting that it also provides the precedence for our interest in applying scientific principles in the examination of evidence. In the first century A.D., the Roman orator and jurist Quintilian was able to show that bloody handprints left at the scene of a murder were meant to frame the defendant, an innocent blind man, for his own mothers murder. As the Roman Empire declined in the west, forensic science remained fairly stagnant for the next millennium, did the applications of criminology and criminal justice. The Beginning of Pathology In thirteenth century China, the book Hsi Duan Yu (The Washing Away of Wrongs) was published and is considered to be the first known guide to pathology. The work describes, among other things, how to determine whether a victim drowned or was strangled as a cause of death. It also detailed how the criminal investigator identified the type of blade used in a murder by examining the corpse and how to determine whether a death was accidental or murder. Scientific Advances Beginning in the seventeenth century, as the age of enlightenment bloomed, advancements in science and the social conscience saw the field of forensic science receive a revitalization of sorts. New appreciation for the application of the scientific method in nearly all inquiries, criminal or otherwise, necessitated new means for identifying and solving crimes. The eighteenth and nineteenth centuries saw an explosion of recorded incidents of the use of scientifically obtained evidence to solve crimes and win convictions. Evidentiary techniques including connecting a piece of crumbled newspaper used for wadding in a pistol to a matching, torn piece of paper in a suspects pocket as well as matching clothing fibers, grains, and footprints to those found on a suspect accused of murdering a young woman.
