What do executives say about you behind closed doors Learn to become a positively perceived leader

What do executives say about you behind closed doors Learn to become a positively perceived leaderWhat do executives say about you behind closed doors Learn to become a positively perceived leaderDo you have a good sense about what is said about you behind closed doors? When your boss, your bosss boss and other key executives in the organization are sitting down and discussing you, what is the consensus? Is it positive? Is it negative? Are you credible? Confident? Respected? Reliable? If you look around the table, how many are leer faces? Blank faces are people who dont know you and wouldnt know what to expect if you were given an opportunity.Its important to know how you are perceived by others in your organization. In my presentation, The Importance of Having Positively Perceived Leaders, I explain how to build and develop your perception, and how to cultivate and maintain a positive outlook on your skillset.Follow Ladders on FlipboardFollow Ladders magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and moreBy activelyinfluencing how others perceive you, you can enhance your access to new opportunities. If youre looking to manage how you and your accomplishments are viewed, start by following my steps below, and plan how you will change what is being said when youre not in the room.1. Seek out advocatesThink about who in your organization already knows you and can speak to your work and your reputation. Will they speak up when you are being discussed? The most obvious candidate may be your boss, who has a more detailed knowledge of the work you have done and the success youve had in your current role. Be koranvers your advocates speak highly about your work, but also know your aspirations. When opportunities arise, they can put your anthroponym forward.Your boss is key, but dont forget others you have worked with, both within and outside your business group. Be sure to maintain those relationships on both a casual and pro fessional level, as those other players too may be your advocates.2. Get to know more peopleImagine there are 10 people sitting in a room at your organization. How many know you and your work? One? Three? Five? The more people know you, the more voices there are to speak up or weigh in on your behalf. Others who arent sure might not speak or could actively advocate for another candidate rather than back you and your unknown reputation. Make the effort to be seen and heard by more than just the small circle of your team or group stand up, speak up, be heardand be remembered.You do great work, so dont be afraid to make sure others know how well youve done and what youre capable of achieving.3. Dont forget the organization as a wholeWhen youre getting to know people, and making sure they know you and your accomplishments, dont only focus on senior managers and the executive. There are many people in your organization who those other leaders will look to for opinions - who will they co nsult with about you and your reputation? Make the effort tofoster and maintain that positive perceptionof your work with your colleagues, your employees and all the influencers and decision makers with whom you come in contact.How you are talked about outside those closed-door meetings is important, too if someone doesnt know you well, they may take the advice and opinion of someone they trust who does. Cast your net wide whenmanaging your perception, because it all may matter.When youre ready for that next step in your career, and youre looking for a new opportunity in leadership, dont forget thatperception is a critical part of managing your successalong the path. Dont become a hidden leader whose potential remains untapped and overlooked just because your talents werent known. Its up to you to make sure that when people sit down to discuss you, there are no blank faces at the table, and as many as possible will speak up on your behalf.This article originally appeared on SmartBr ief.

JOLTS Report Update

JOLTS Report Update JOLTS Report Update May job openings were little changed from April at 7.3 million. The number of workers who were hired fell, and there was little change in the number of people who quit or were laid off. Here is a summary of key data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ just-released Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS): Job openings: 7.3 million People hired: 5.7 million People who left their jobs (total): 5.5 million People who left their jobs (voluntarily quit): 3.4 million People who left their jobs (layoff or involuntary reason): 1.8 million People who left their jobs (retirement or other reason): 310,000   Hiring managers continue to face a highly competitive market for top job candidates, many of whom receive multiple offers. There are more vacant positions than unemployed people in the U.S., making hiring even more challenging.   In a survey of senior managers, 20 percent said their biggest hiring hurdle was asking the right interview questions. Here are some tips to help you get more out of the interview questions you ask: Prepare for a phone interview like a regular interview. Ask strong phone interview questions to determine which candidates are worth bringing in for a sit-down interview. You can’t afford to waste time with a candidate who doesn’t meet your qualifications. Ask interview questions that touch on technical and soft skills. At the in-person meeting, your interview questions should help you understand if the candidate has the skills to do the job and will be a good fit with your existing team.   Understand the different types of interview questions. If you don’t know the difference between closed- and open-ended questions, or when (and if) you should ask outside-the-box questions, you’re not ready to interview.   End the interview well. Make sure you end an interview on a positive note and let the candidate know what happens next in the process.   Finally, if you’re a first-time hiring manager, here is some job interview advice just for you.  

4 ways to make sure your next meeting doesnt go wildly off track

4 ways to make sure your next meeting doesn't go wildly off track 4 ways to make sure your next meeting doesn't go wildly off track In a world with so many meetings that it’s hard to keep up with your work, you’ll need to do everything in your power to make sure that the next one you facilitate doesn’t get derailed. With boredom levels raging and the need for some people to inevitably hear themselves talk, the potential for distraction from the gathering’s real purpose is high.Here’s how to run a meeting that won’t follow this pattern.Give participants an agendaParticipants should have a crystal clear picture of the meeting’s goal, and what it will take to achieve it.Run your meetings like the ones at Amazon, where CEO Jeff Bezos  reportedly has participants read through memos  at the beginning of some meetings.You should also follow Elon Musk’s lead by making sure that employees contribute instead of staying silent, and that there’a s clear reason for the gathering.Be upfront with the materials, like Mark ZuckerbergHint: it involves getting the technical stuff out of the way first.Sheryl Sandbe rg, COO at Facebook and founder of LeanIn.Org, spilled the beans on Quora in 2015 on how Mark Zuckerberg reportedly runs meetings at Facebook.“Mark has done a really good job improving the efficiency of meetings at Facebook this year. He asks people to send materials in advance so we can use the time for discussion and we try to be clear about our goal when we sit down for a meeting - are we in the room to make a decision or to have a discussion?” Sandberg wrote.Use this line when participants drone on, and on and on…Someone has to put an end to it.Bob Pozen, a senior lecturer at Harvard Business School, senior fellow at Brookings Institute, and author of Extreme Productivity, tells the Harvard Business Review  about how to get people back on track if they talk for too long during a meeting.“If two or three people bring up things that are contiguous but not really related, the meeting can degenerate,” he tells the publication.Pozen also suggests that you try and find out what’s really going on instead of suggesting that they’re making the meeting get off track on purpose by saying something like, “you’ve diverted us several times. Is there something’s that bothering you?”Don’t break without recapping the main pointsYou’ll need to tie up all the loose ends.LinkedIn CEO Jeff Weiner writes on the platform about what to do before you go.“Don’t end the meeting without summarizing key conclusions, action items, and points of accountability for delivering on next steps. This summary is usually the first thing to suffer if the meeting has run long and people start running off to their next scheduled event. However, it’s arguably the single most important thing you’ll do at the meeting (and is ostensibly the reason for the meeting to begin with). Have the discipline to ensure attendees sit tight and remain focused while next steps are being discussed and agreed to,” he writes.Don’t let your meetings  fall by the wayside.

Tuition Assistance in the Military

Tuition Assistance in the Military Tuition Assistance in the Military Tuition assistance is given to military personnel who are on active duty, drilling or retired in the regular services or the Reserves. This benefit is for voluntary off-duty civilian education programs. It is separate from the GI Bill. What are the limitations of this benefit?

You cant use tuition assistance to get a second equivalent degree. Air Force The Air Force funds both tuition and fees for active duty personnel up to the standard cap. There is a cap of 124 semester hours for undergraduate programs and 42 semester hours for graduate-level courses.

How To Find A Job Without Being On The Job Boards

How To Find A Job Without Being On The Job Boards How To Find A Job Without Being On The Job Boards In case you haven’t heard the rumor, the job boards don’t get you too far. Statistics say the likelihood of landing a job through a job board is only 1-2%. Yet, 95% of candidates use the job boards heavily, and unfortunately, exclusively. If clicking “apply” and “submit” a few dozen (or a few hundred) times is leaving you wondering why you’re not getting a response, one fix is to expand beyond the job boards. Here’s how to do it: Ask Your People â€" ALL Of Them! There’s a reason why people hate networking: most people only do it when they need to, and with that need comes a sense of desperation and begging â€" neither of which comes from a position of strength. Additionally, the concept of networking is so closely associated with the professional realm, that it’s easy to forget the natural network you already have, comprised of your family, friends, neighbors, religious community, service people you see regularly, and more. Post on social media your desire to advance your career, and start off in a way that’s fun and interesting. For example, “It’s time for me to step into Jane 2.0! That means a new job and career with an organization where I can contribute real value and use my full range of skills. I am targeting roles such as Senior Internal Communications Specialist or Global Communications Business Partner. My expertise spans market planning, competitive positioning, and marketing execution. I would like to get in from of Director-level marketing decision makers at companies in the San Francisco Bay area such as Bebe, Levi Strauss, and The North Face. Your helpful contacts and connections would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!” That type of posting got a Project Management Specialist hired in less than 30 days, because people commented directly on the post with specific information such as, “Speak to XYZ person, whose email is…” Additionally, people shared the post, so the candidate got help from people even beyond those he knew personally. Go The Direct Route Focus, then find. That’s the mantra to drive your job search forward. Be intentional about this. Where do you want to work? What industry interests you? What type of environment is it? Don’t resist answering these questions, even though they may seem hard, or even though you don’t really know. Here’s a way to kick-start your thinking: Google “best places to work” in your city, and explore the list. After you find something you like, Google their competitors. For example, you might like the company Method because they offer home cleaning solutions that come from natural ingredients â€" that’s a mission. But they’re not the only such company in the space. If you like what that mission, you could also look at Seventh Generation, The Honest Company, and California Baby. It may seem counterintuitive: focusing in on specific companies means you’re missing out on all these other opportunities, right? Not exactly. When you pursue a specific opportunity, if it doesn’t pan out, that opportunity is a dead end. However, elevate your “job search” into a “company search,” because if a specific opportunity there doesn’t pan out, you can still look at that same company â€" which you already like â€" for similar opportunities. Make Your Approach Landing a job doesn’t happen from your bedroom, where you’re hunched over the computer for half the day burning up the job boards. Getting the position you want happens from human-to-human contact. Advocate for yourself and your own best life by starting the conversation. Use LinkedIn to make your approach to the relevant decision maker. Don’t be basic. Don’t send the same message 100 times to 100 different HR people. Craft your messages on a case-by-case basis (yes, that means less than 100 per day!). Mention your interest in their organization, your expertise, and how you feel you can deliver immediate value. When you think about what you’re going to say to each person, it shows, and you’re more likely to warrant a response. There’s a specific 300-character email that jobseekers are using to get their message out. We walk through it word-for-word for you in our “new job” masterclass, “How To Get Hired In HALF The Time!” See exactly how people who used to be unemployed, but are now working, used this email message to get responses from relevant decision makers in 24-48 hours.

Information Technology (IT) Resume Examples and Tips

Information Technology (IT) Resume Examples and Tips Information Technology (IT) Resume Examples and Tips For anyone job searching, writing a  resume can be an extremely challenging task, but for  information technology  (IT) professionals, it can be especially difficult. The highly technical industry is constantly evolving, and resumes need to be continually updated. Understand Attention Span Across all fields, job listings often get hundreds or even thousands of submissions. Due to volume, hiring managers  often just skim resumes. If your resume  is just a block of text, your application will likely be discarded without the manager ever reading it. To avoid this, you need to break up  your resume  into categories, such as education, work history, and skills. You should also create bulleted lists to neatly summarize key information. Lists and categories make resumes more visually appealing and easy to read. Limit the Length of Your Resume Hiring managers have a limited amount of time to devote to reading resumes, so try to limit your resume to one page, or two at the absolute most. Anything more than that two pages will probably be ignored. Use your resume to highlight your biggest achievements but be sure to remove any work experience from college or high school.  Also, remove any experiences that are not directly related to the job you’re applying for. If you have a variety of experience, you may want to create different versions of your resume that highlight those different experiences. These experience-specific resumes can be used when applying for different positions. Highlight Accomplishments, Not Tasks Most resumes read like a list of tasks, such as updated company software, used problem-solving skills to troubleshoot, created databases. While this tells a company what you did each day, it doesnt  set you apart from the competition by highlighting what you uniquely bring to the job. Instead, focus on your accomplishments and mention them as specifically as possible. For instance, if you created a program that simplified processes and saved employees time, that is important to mention. Any instance where you delivered results ahead of deadline, under budget, or exceeded expectations is worth highlighting. Whenever possible, use numbers to quantify your successes. For example, if you developed an app that saved your company money, state how much money it saved. If you helped streamline a process, use a percentage to show how much more efficient the process became. IT recruiters, especially, appreciate this kind of data. Use Keywords You should tailor every resume to fit the job you’re applying for. One way to do this is to include  keywords  from the job listing on your resume. For example, if the job listing includes a number of required skills, include those skill words in your resume (although only if you have those skills). This will help a recruiting manager easily see that you are qualified for the job. Moreover, many companies use an  Applicant Tracking System  (ATS) to screen applicants. If an applicant does not have enough keywords from the job listing in their application, the candidate might be eliminated. Remove Personal Interests Unless your interests directly relate to your work, employers really don’t care if youre passionate about soccer, music, or photography. Be sure to take out the interests section of your resume. The only exception to this is if your outside volunteer work corresponds with your work. For instance, if you created a program for a local non-profit to manage donor information, that is something that’s relevant to include on your resume.   Emphasize Skills Although you want to remove unrelated interests, you do need to include tech skills on your resume. In a section labeled “Skills” (or something similar, like “Technical Competencies”)  include any software programs, programming languages, and other skills that are important for the job.   There’s no need to include the basic tech skills that most job applicants have, such as knowledge of Microsoft Office. Avoid Confusing Technical Language While you’ll have to use technical language in your resume (for example, in your list of technical skills), avoid using too much jargon, especially acronyms and terms that some people arent familiar with. Avoid technical language that was specific to your old company. Instead, stick to industry terms that everyone in IT is familiar with. Keep in mind that recruiters may not be familiar with tech jargon, so only use as much technical language as you need to show what youre capable of. Review Resume Examples Having an example of a resume may make the process of creating or updating your resume easier. Perusing sample resumes for such positions as  ?Front End Web Developer,?  Help Desk Technician,  ??Software Engineer, Tech Contractor, and  ?Web Developer  will prove helpful. Proofread and Edit Your Resume Just because you are in IT doesn’t mean you can have spelling or grammar errors on your resume. Make sure you thoroughly proofread your resume before submitting it. Ask a friend or even a career coach to read through your resume as well, looking for errors as well as inconsistencies in your formatting.

Job Description for Health Care Specialist (68W)

Job Description for Health Care Specialist (68W) Job Description for Health Care Specialist (68W) The Army Medic is one of the guys in an Army unit that may not be the best shot, and in some cases may not fire a single shot in a combat situation, but he is the one who is dodging bullets, shrapnel, and explosives to save a fellow member of the unit. With the standard kit of medical supplies in the backpack, the 68W Army Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) waits for the call from his fellow soldiers, Medic! Often heard screeching from the front lines, the combat medic makes his way to find the injured soldier and get him secure enough to ship back to the field hospital by medical evacuation (MedEvac). Many combat medics in the Army risk their lives to take care of a fallen soldier.  Many become highly decorated for bravery and perform over and above the call of duty earning awards such as the Congressional Medal of Honor. The recent popular movie Hacksaw Ridge tells the story of Medal of Honor Recipient Private Desmond Doss, an Army Combat Medic who did not carry a weapon into combat, but all he did was save men from his unit.  During a day and night of fighting, Doss saved over 75 men who were wounded and left for dead by the retreating Americans in Okinawa. The MOS where you receive this type of medical training is the 68W (68 Whiskey).  The Army Military Occupational Specialty is one of the most important jobs in any unit because there are always injuries, accidents, illnesses, and in some instances emergency medical issues and combat-wounded that need help on the battlefield. The 68 Whiskey is the person who is trained to do just that. Basic Job Description of the 68W Combat Medic The Health Care Specialist is primarily responsible for providing emergency medical treatment, limited primary care, and health protection and evacuation from a point of injury or illness. Health Care Specialists are often called combat medics in the Army because some Soldiers in this MOS are assigned to deploy with Army combat units and provide emergency medical treatment directly in combat zones. Other Health Care Specialists are assigned to military hospitals and clinics to assist doctors and nurses with the health care needs of patients. Duties performed by Soldiers in this MOS include: Administer emergency medical treatment to battlefield casualties.Assist with outpatient and inpatient care and treatment.Interview patients and recording their medical histories. Take patients temperature, pulse, and blood pressure. Prepare blood samples for laboratory analysis. Keep health records and clinical files up-to-date. Give shots and medicines to patients. Prepare patients, operating rooms, equipment, and supplies for surgery. Some of the more common needs of the medic are to administer intravenous solution in the field to soldiers dehydrated from long movements and training. Training Information Job training for a health care specialist requires 10 weeks of Basic Combat Training and 16 weeks of Advanced Individual Training, including practice in-patient care. Health Care Specialists can also receive advanced medical training to specialize in one of several areas. Following additional training, they are awarded an ASI (Additional Skill Identifier), as follows: M3 - Dialysis (skill level 1-4 only)M6 - Practical/Vocational Nurse (skill level 1-4 only)N1 - Aircraft Crewmember Standardization Instruction (skill level 2-3)N3 - Occupational Therapy (skill level 1-4 only)N9 - Physical Therapy (skill level 1-4 only)P1 - Orthopedics (skill level 1-4 only)P2 - Ear, Nose, and Throat and Hearing Readiness (skill level 1-4 only)P3 - Optometry/Ophthalmology (skill level 1-4 only)W1 - Special Operations Combat Medic (SOCOM) (skill level 1-4 only)W2 - Civil Affairs Medical SGT (skill level 1-4 only) W4 - Civil Affairs Trauma Medical SGT (skill level 2-4 only)Y6 - Cardiovascular (skill level 1-4 only)Y8 - Immunization/Allergy. ASVAB Score Required: GT 107 and ST 101 Security Clearance: None Strength Requirement: moderately heavy Physical Profile Requirement: 222121 Other Requirements None Similar Civilian Occupations Emergency Medical Technicians and Paramedics As a 68 Whiskey in your unit, you will be expected to know your job and be available to those in need at a moments notice.  If caring for others, applying medical knowledge and experience, and being able to remain calm and think when someone is having the worst day of their life is something you have a calling to do, the combat medic profession needs you.
