The average price per student welches $250,000, authorities said in a press conference on Tuesday.The alleged college admissions scheme was two-pronged. In some instances, parents are accused of having their children recruited as Division 1 athletes, regardless of athletic abilities. In other instances, parents are accused of having a stand-in take SAT and ACT exams for their children, or replace their answers with the stand-ins.In most cases, the children did not know that their parents we re allegedly involved in bribes, according to ABC News.Schools named in unsealed court documents include Georgetown, Stanford, University of California, Los Angeles, Yale, University of Texas, University of Southern California and Wake Forest, according to NBC.William Rick Singer is at the center of the alleged schemeAt the center of the alleged scheme is William Rick Singer, the owner of Edge College Career Network, who helped students get into the colleges of their choice, authorities said in the press conference.According to the US Attorney Generals office, 33 parents have been charged in the scheme, and parents spent anywhere from $200k to $6.5 million to guarantee admissions to colleges.

Tech workers worry about age discrimination at age 40 Study

Tech workers worry about age discrimination at age 40 StudyTech workers worry about age discrimination at age 40 StudyOn the heels of research that foundyour chances of getting hired in Silicon Valley plummet after the age of 48, a new study has found that nearly half of those already working in the industry fear getting the ax because of their advancing age.A whopping 43% of 1,011 U.S. tech workers surveyed by job search siteIndeed said they are worried about losing their position because of how old they are - and18% say theyre are concerned about the issue all the time.In addition, while millennials are becoming an outsized proportion of all generations in the tech workplace - representing an estimated 46% of workers - just 23% of respondents think millennials are overrepresented at their workplaces.Here are some other points that stood out in Indeeds research, as well as how to combat age discrimination.Age concerns in the officeIndeed found that 17% of survey respondents said the average employee age at their company is between 20 and 30 years old, while 29% of survey respondents said the average employee age is between 31 and 35. An additional 27% of respondents said the average age at their company welches 36-40 years old.That leaves just 26% of the workplace roles for staffers over 40, Indeed found.While 78% of all participants said they believe that tech workers age 40 and up are highly qualified, 36% of all surveyed also said they had at least one experience where they werent taken seriously by colleagues and managers because of how old they are.People tend to make certain assumptions about workers of older generations.Steven Levy wrote about working towards age diversity in Silicon Valley inWired in 2015(he disclosed that was 64 years old at the time).After mentioning an instance where Facebooks Mark Zuckerberg reportedly said that young people are mora intelligent while speaking to a group of entrepreneurs (which Levy said the mogul quickly retrac ted), he illustrates how this relates to the bigger picture.Nonetheless, he was reflecting a view that is widely held but seldom explicitly expressed in Silicon Valley. Older people are seen as dimmer and less energetic than those under 30. Theres a worry that having worked elsewhere, older people have ingrained habits that prevent them from adopting the fast-moving pace of innovation necessary at tech companies and especially startups. I guess in some cases that might be true - but in any age group some people will be more adaptable than others, Levy continues.Despite the fact that age discrimination against workers 40 years and up is illegal, Levy reveals how the discrimination persists.I suspect that more often than not, tech companies, particularly smaller ones, shy away from older folks, often with the flimsy justification that theyre not culture fits. Critics rightfully point out how that vague term often leads to excluding other underrepresented groups, Levy writes.Tech jobs Baby Boomers are interested inBaby Boomers were two times more likely to click on supervisory and management roles than those in the younger group, Indeedfound. That included roles like IT project manager, technical sales engineer, OPS engineer and engineering project manager.Baby Boomers were three times more likely to click on engineering roles including storage engineer, telecommunications engineer, and principal software engineer.Where older employees want to workInterestingly enough, San Jose, CA topped Indeeds list of where Baby Boomers are looking for tech employment in metro areas. San Francisco, CA followed in second place, Huntsville, AL was in third, Seattle, WA was in fourth and Boston, MA was in fifth.Notice something different about some of these data points?Interestingly, despite reports that ageism is forcing many older workers to look outside Silicon Valley, we see that the Bay Area is the main draw for workers of all ages, as San Jose and San Francisco hold the to p two spots for each generation.Its when we look a little bit lower down that we start to see differences, Indeed writes.So how can workers make sure theyre not participating - consciously or unconsciously - in age discrimination?Here are a few stepsIn job postings, watch your languageRemoving terms like recent graduate and digital native could help encourage older professionals to apply for these positions, Indeed writes.In addition, hiring recruiters should be sure to rely on age-inclusive language and practices into those existing initiatives.That might mean valuing related but not directly similar hintergrund experience or looking for people who are interested in continuing to learn on the job.Show why your age can help you hit the ground runningKerry Hannon, a speaker, author and columnist, writes in Forbes that you should market your age as a plus if youre an older job seeker who is concerned about it.Workers 50+ tend to be self-starters, know how to get the job done, and do nt need as much handholding as those with less experience. A great benefit to being older is that you have a good deal of knowledge and leadership ability, she says.Show that you have the right skills for the jobMake sure youre skilled in the latest technology, and are prepared for where your field could be heading. The best way to combat stereotypes about older workers being unfamiliar with technology is to be an older worker extremely familiar with that technology.Read up and talk to people about their work experiences to gain perspective. Go on YouTube to watch tutorials about subjects youd like to learn more about. If you dont know the answer, Google it.bxc.bx-campaign-1012255 .bx-group-1012255-lyDBLV9 width 900pxheight 550px

10 surprising ways you may be reinforcing sexism in the office

10 surprising ways you may be reinforcing sexism in the office10 surprising ways you may be reinforcing sexism in the officeMost people have been the victim of workdistribution policy incivility at one point or another - from snarky comments from a coworker, rude interruptions or disrespect via email. Some workplaces can be a breeding ground for this kind of uncalled for behavior, but we often assume that its gendered given the power dynamics of men and women in the workplace.Research from a large-scale study indicates that women tend to report experiencing more incivility at work than their male counterparts- and the perpetrators are quite often from other women. The theory Women may be mistreating other women because they are more likely to view each other as competition for advancement opportunities in companies.The research composed of three complementary studies involving rather large samples of between 400 and over 600 U.S. employees per study, across a variety of service oper ations and time periods. In each study, the researchers consistently found that women reported experiencing more incivility from other women than from their male coworkers. And examples of this incivility included being addressed in unprofessional terms, having derogatory comments directed toward them, being put down in a condescending way, and being ignored or excluded from professional camaraderie.Of course, this isnt good for anybody.In response to incivility experiences, 48 % of employees intentionally decrease their work effort, 47% intentionally decrease their time at work and 38% internationally decrease the level of quality in their work. Plus, 80 % of employees studied indicated that they lost time at work due to merely ruminating about experienced incivility, with 66% indicating that their performance declined and 78 % indicating that they lowered their commitment to their organization. And due to cognitive distractions and time delays - the monetary cost of incivility ca n be upwards of $14,000 per employee. That means that there are financial and human well-being-related costs that come of exposure to incivility at work.So how do you know if youre perpetuating incivility toward other women in the workplace? Here are 10 signs that you could be the culprit.1. You address other women in unprofessional terms.This could be in the way you speak with them verbally or in the way you email them.2. You make derogatory comments directed toward other women.Of course, such comments could hurt them and hurt you if/when you lose your own job for it. Derogatory comments can take a much more serious toll on womens well-being, too. The women studied reported lower job satisfaction, lower levels of vitality and increased intentions to quit their job when they were victims of incivility.3. You put other women down in condescending ways.Again, putting anyone down in condescending ways has no place in the workplace.4. You ignore or exclude some women from professional c amaraderie.Keeping some women from attending coworker outings like happy hours isnt good for anybody. It affects team bonding that, ultimately, affects productivity.5. You expect other women to be warm and nurturing instead of dominant in the workplace.Society places expectations on women to behave a certain way and, when they dont, theyre criticized for it. Having expectations for other women is just as wrong as others who have expectations of you.6. You compete with other women for advancement opportunities by putting them down.Its one thing to put your own best foot forward in competition, but its an entirely other thing to knock down your competition to get yourself ahead.7. You assume that assertive women are ruthless.It may also be the case that these assertive behaviors are viewed as ruthless by other women, the researchers write. Given that women are more likely to compare themselves against each other, these behaviors may signal competition, eliciting incivility as a respon se.8. You place judgement on women for taking charge.Our research suggests that when women acted more assertively at work - expressing opinions in meetings, assigning people to tasks, and taking charge - they were even more likely to report receiving uncivil treatment from other women at work, the researchers explain. We suspect that it may be that women acting assertively contradicts the norms that women must be warm and nurturing rather than emphatic and dominant. This means that women who take charge at work may suffer backlash in the form of being interpersonally mistreated.9. You speak poorly of some women with other women in your workplace.Gossiping has no place in the workplace, both because its inappropriate and because it distracts people from the work they should be focused on completing instead.10. You dismiss other womens professional opinions.When you have no regard for other womens professional opinions, youre silencing them and holding up the glass ceiling that hind ers all women.AnnaMarie Houlis is a multimedia journalist and an adventure aficionado with a keen cultural curiosity and an affinity for solo travel.

Airlines Executive Receives a Resume Makeover

Airlines Executive Receives a Resume MakeoverAirlines Executive Receives a Resume MakeoverFormatting clean-ups make an operations experts resume as incredible as his accomplishments.Before he found Ladders, Sams resume was grounded in an illegible fog and a lack of personality or focus. Here are some of the suggestions I made when upgrading Sams resumeKeep your options open and your resume focused.When I asked about a target, he said he wanted to keep his career options open. Sam felt that because of the economy he should look outside of his industry, as well as inside it, for a location that could use his wide range of transferable skills.Clients are under the misconception that the broader they appear on their resume, the more interested all kinds of employers will be in them. The reality is that your resume needs to be focused to get attention. You need to be offering exactly what an employer is looking for.Do what you love.Eventually during our discussion, Sam revealed hed been i nterested in airlines and flying for as long as he could remember, even as a small child. He knew lots of history and fine details about airlines all over the world, and was willing to relocate anywhere on the planet to stay in the industry. Working for airlines was the only career path hed ever wanted.As a long-time resume writer, I know that when someone has had an all-their-life interest in something and they dont really want to move away from it yet especially if that industry still has plenty of jobs, and even more if the client has great experience in that field the best thing for the client is to stay with that which they love. I pointed this out to Sam, and he seemed somewhat relieved at it being okay to stay focused on what he loved. With that information, we drafted Sams new resume to clearly position him as the airlines operations expert that he is.Avoid putting your title in a header.Sams name was fading off into the sunset on his old resume. He had created the header of his resume with Microsoft Words Headers Footers feature which embedded the information into a separate part of the document so that the same information would print at the top of each page.An embedded header on subsequent pages is a good idea, but you want to stand out loud and clear on the first page. His format only showed up in a soft, diminished grey viewed online. Also, subsequent page headers dont need to contain all of the same information as the first page header. Your name, phone and email contact information is sufficient.Make a good impression with a strong opening.Many undervalue the importance of the title on your resume. Sams old resume lacked a proper opening/offering/title statement, which basically challenged the (extremely busy) employer to figure out what hes looking at. We made his new resume user-friendly from the top down so an employer can quickly see what he was offering and determine his potential value to her company.Showcase your wins, not your duties. Keep in mind that a good resume is not a life-long, detailed, career biography. I distilled and displayed the critical parts of Sams employment history in a highlights section, and then fortified it with bulleted accomplishments.One common mistake that turns powerful resume information into mush is too many bullets. The eye is drawn to bullets in a document, making them a very powerful visual tool. I bulleted the accomplishments in Sams resume, separating them from his everyday tasks so they stood out. Its not important to have a lot of everyday task details in a resume, especially if you have great accomplishments, which Sam does.Those are the keys to a good resume. A nicely written, well laid-out resume that reflects what you have to offer and respects the employers time and interests will go a long way toward making a spectacular first impression. Employers appreciate that you took the time to ensure you were giving them the best possible document. Sam deserved a powerful resum e that could land him the interviews he wants. You deserve the same

5 reasons to send thank you letters now more than ever

5 reasons to send thank you letters now more than ever 5 reasons to send thank you letters now more than ever This targeted self-marketing tool can get you to the next round: interview thank you letters.Think of thank-you letters as a self-marketing tool and a critical component of your job-search strategy. The time you invest crafting a targeted thank-you letter after an interview is time well spent, and it will help you create a credible and efficient search.Don’t believe me? Here are five reasons why you should incorporate thank-you letters into your search strategy:1) A thank-you letter creates an opportunity to re-connect with employers.Chances are you aren’t the only candidate being interviewed for an open position. Writing a follow-up letter allows you to build a relationship with the interviewer and develop rapport. By expressing your gratitude for the interview and recapping the highlights of the meeting, you revisit the reasons why you are the best fit for the position.2) Following up keeps your candidacy top of mind.A candidate often makes the mistake of putting too much contr ol in the interviewer’s hands. He believes that if he’s the best candidate, the interviewer will remember him and keep him in the loop regarding the selection process. Unfortunately, this doesn’t often happen. It’s critical that a candidate remind prospective employers of his interest in a position. The thank-you letter is the perfect vehicle for communicating this interest.3) Written correspondence gives you another chance to sell your strengths.While the thank-you letter expresses gratitude for the meeting, it also serves a much more strategic purpose. It provides an opportunity for the candidate to present her skills and accomplishments in another format and market the value she’ll add to the employer.4) The document enables you to address points you neglected to discuss during the interview.Many candidates, after leaving the interview, think of other things they could have said during the meeting. Don’t label this a liability; turn it into an asset by discussing thes e points in the thank-you letter. Remind the reader of your ability to produce similar results for their organization.5) A letter helps develop rapport and increases the employer’s comfort level in your candidacy.A good strategy is to recap a part of the conversation where you and the interviewer shared similar views on a job-related topic. The thank-you letter can also be a forum for demonstrating your consultative problem-solving skills. By addressing current issues the employer is facing and proposing solutions, you are contributing to the company’s success even before you are onboard.Thank you letters continue to be an important component of a successful job-search campaign. But the focus has shifted from a simple courtesy and show of appreciation to a targeted self-marketing tool. By creating a letter that validates your candidacy, builds rapport and reminds the reader of your value added, you can significantly influence potential employers and - most importantly - increa se your chances for subsequent interviews.

Zavo, author of  Job Joy: Your Guide to Success, Happiness, and Meaning in Your Career.“That’s because showing that you’ve got genuine interest in the industry, company, and role means that you’ll do what it takes to be successful because you actually care and are internally motivated.”Smart candidates do more than simply toss the word “passion” around. They find memorable, yet tactful, ways to show and demonstrate passion in a job interview.Follow Ladders on Flipboard!Follow Ladders’ magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and more!  Ready to show your passion in a job interview? Try these strategies:Start off strong.Zavo recommends displaying passion from the get-go with a thoughtful answer to the obligatory interview question, “Tell me about yourself.”“Sharing your education, experience, and skills in a way that both shows your excitement and positions you as the optimal candidate for the job is key to instilling confidence in the interviewer,” she says.Instead of just stating that you’ve been interested in a career path, paint a vivid picture. For example, if you’re interviewing for architectural jobs, recount how you’ve been intrigued by building design ever since Santa left a bucket of Legos under the tree when you were five. Detail why your internship with Architectural Firm XYZ was the highlight of your college honor’s program. Mention how the look on the new residents’ faces as they opened the door to a home you helped build with Habitat for Humanity increased your commitment to affordable housing issues. Listeners will note a pattern of passion to kick off your interview.Ask great questions.People who care about a subject want to know as much as possible about it. Asking why the company adopted a new advertising plan or soliciting the interviewer for their thoughts on why the firm recently was named to a list of great places to work demonstrates admirable curiosity. Such detailed questions also show you’ve done your homework- another sign of a passionate candidate.Go the extra mile.For people who are passionate about what they do, going above and beyond often comes naturally. Hiring managers can’t help but notice genuine actions, so don’t be afraid to be yourself.Sean Pour, cofounder of the nationwide car buying service  SellMax, remembers interviewing a candidate for a position as a call center agent.“We were asking the normal questions about her experience. She was nice and smart, but we still had others to interview,” he says. As they were wrapping up, however, she pulled something out of her purse- a cared-for collection of toy cars that she had since childhood. She told the interviewers that she and her father bonded through cars when she was growing up, she always wanted to be involved in the industry but was not mechanically inclined, and she saw this position as a perfect fit.“After seeing the prop and her  clear passion for the industry, I hired her right on the spot. I knew that if she was so passionate about the job, she would do well, and she did,” Pour says.Reiterate interest afterward.Lastly, solidify your passion as the real deal with an impressive follow-up. A heartfelt thank-you note displays gratitude as well as provides further opportunity to share something about yourself or your excitement about the position.Or, perhaps, try something like this action that drew the attention of Carolina King, chief people officer for the executive search firm  Lucas Group:“One recent candidate really impressed me with their passion in a follow-up email exchange. The ini tial interview went well, and we gave him feedback that we wanted to proceed with him but had a few more interviews we planned to conduct.  He wrote a response with the subject line ‘call off the search, you have already found the right hire,’ and he included a 90-day plan for the role.  This showed enthusiasm, a purposeful plan, and a sense of humor that immediately landed him the role!”Demonstrating your passion in an interview  can really set you apart from the competition. Let employers know you’re personally motivated and interested in the role and company by utilizing the tips above.This article originally appeared on FlexJobs.

The Bad Habit Thats Killing Your Reputation at Work

The Bad Habit Thats Killing Your Reputation at Work The Bad Habit Thats Killing Your Reputation at Work Be on time. It’s a simple command, and one you’ve probably heard since you were a child. And, of course, one you’ve likely ignored before.But, as an adult, if you’re habitually late, you run the risk of undermining your professional reputation- no matter how smart, competent, or capable you might be. If you think punctuality doesn’t matter, think again. Here are some reasons why it definitely does- along with my tips for making punctuality a priority.It Shows You Care Tardiness is understandable. We live in an extraordinarily busy world. We schedule meetings and appointments back-to-back, haphazardly fitting the rest of our lives into half-hour long time slots here and there. We’re always plugged in, constantly inundated with phone calls, emails, and texts that need to be answered “immediately.”But, if you can be punctual despite these obstacles, you implicitly acknowlede that you value other peoples’ limited time. Getting to a meeting or appointment on time shows t hat it’s important to you, and something for which you’ve planned.Being chronically late, on the other hand, sends the message that whatever you’re doing is simply more important than the task at hand- and that your time is more valuable than everyone else’s.It Shows You’re ResponsibleYour co-workers, clients, and partners want to know that they can trust you to get the job done- and being punctual is an easy way to demonstrate that you can. It inspires a sense of trust and indicates that you’re organized, responsible, and in control of your time.Conversely, flying down the hallway, showing up breathless to a meeting, then fumbling for your papers and notes gives an impression of chaos and disorder- not exactly the message you want to send.It Reduces StressYou know how stressful being late can be. But constantly rushing and scrambling to catch up not only makes you feel lousy- it also makes everyone around you anxious and uncomfortable.Making sure that you show up on tim e prevents all that angst in the first place (yours and theirs!). Instead of panicking about the clock, you can focus your attention on what really matters- your job.How to Do ItOK, so punctuality is important. But that doesn’t make it a whole lot easier to achieve, if it’s not your strong suit. So, here are some quick tips to make sure that you’re always on time, no matter what’s on your plate.1. Don’t overbook: Make sure to pad your calendar with an extra 10â€"15 minute “cushion” between appointments just in case something unexpected, like a traffic jam, a phone call, or a long meeting, should arise. Because- let’s be honest- it usually does.2. Don’t leave the “extra” tasks to the last minute. Fill your gas tank, grab your coffee, and return all necessary phone calls well before your next scheduled appointment. And don’t try to knock out just one more thing before heading off to that meeting. Also, if you’re doing something that will require cash payment, check your wallet well in advance to make sure you have enough money.3. Schedule events for off-peak times and avoid time-wasting nuisances like trekking through rush hour traffic, which can also make it difficult to organize your schedule reliably.4. Set your clocks ahead by five or 10 minutes. Even though you may know you have a few extra minutes, the visualized perception of lateness will trick your body into gear.5. Set reminders in the calendars on your computer and phone to alert you half an hour before meetings so you’re not suddenly caught off-guard.6. Prepare for tomorrow. Set up your materials, lay out your clothing, and review your appointments for the following day. Keep your essentials (keys, purse, wallet, sunglasses) in the same spot in your home so you’re not scrambling to find them when you should be walking out the door.7. Just say no: You don’t need to agree to unexpected or unnecessary tasks- especially ones that require immediate attention and re-prioriti zation of your other work. Agreeing to too much can prevent you from being on time for the stuff that really matters. Remember, your time is valuable, too!Are you chronically late?   What punctuality strategies have worked for you?  Photo courtesy of  Yuhan Chiueh.

Inspiration from the Basement

Inspiration from the Basement Inspiration from the Basement Mother Nature has inspired engineers in their work for years. The quickness of the cheetah, the flight of a bird, but the cricket? I was working in bioinspired locomotion and Ive always been interested in understanding locomotion with an engineering perspective and using high-speed videography and computational modeling, explains Rajat Mittal, professor of engineering at Johns Hopkins University. But, believe or not, he didnt start out thinking crickets would be a subject of study. Annoyance to Analysis You see, in some areas of the Northeast, especially where Mittal lives, basements have been overrun by crickets, he says. Ive had this problem and, as a homeowner, I was trying to figure out how to get rid of them. But I started looking at these crickets and they are incredible when it comes to jumping. Theyre jumping several meters and its something like fifty to sixty times the length of their body. When they jump, you see how they do it in relation to landing on their feet and it looked controlled. That was the genesis of this project: Are these animals doing something interesting to stabilize themselves in the air? Mechanical engineering major Emily Palmer and Prof. Rajat Mittal at the testing lab. Image: Johns Hopkins University Using high-speed video, there were 100 to 200 frames that basically covered the entire jump. The high-speed video system contained three cameras to get a view of the same area from three different directions. Building an acrylic enclosure, they jumped in the enclosure and the bottom surface had sandpaper for traction for the landing. Mittal said the hypothesis was that the configuration of the crickets body would turn out to be aerodynamically stable. In the end, it was found that the cricket minimizes drag and, about 30-40% of the way through they jump, they quickly transition from drag-minimizing confirmation, to aerodynamic stabilizing. They do this within a jump that would be the equivalent of a human jumping about the length of a football field and its completed in less than half of a second. Jumping Robots One question was if these principals of aerodynamic stabilization could be streamlined to build very small-scale robots, he says. They could be potentially used in complicated domains, he says. Jumping in many situations can just be a more effective mode of locomotion than crawling or flying. Lets say its a disaster earthquake situation or a fire search and rescue is ongoing. You might have people gathered in rubble, there are nooks and crannies possibly involved, and crawling robots would have a tough time getting over very jagged debris and rocks and the broken terrain. Flying robots take up a lot of energy and they may only have limited juice. But jumping robots could both potentially avoid getting stuck and also get to the areas you need. For Mittal, the work to this point has been extremely gratifying, with his team including undergraduate students and a high school student. Every once in a while you find inspiration from something thats been right there in front of you the whole time, he says. Here, it was in my basement. Eric Butterman is an independent writer. Every once in a while you find inspiration from something that’s been right there in front of you the whole time. Here, it was in my basement.Prof. Rajat Mittal, Johns Hopkins University

Bad Resume Example

Bad Resume Example Bad Resume Example If you’ve been preparing for your job search by reading up on the do’s and don’t of resumes and applications, you’ve probably come across plenty of resources that talk about just what a great resume looks like.  Strong formatting, plenty of organization and inclusion of all of your relevant work history and experience are all musts. What you don’t see often, however, are those examples of truly horrible, awful, just plain old bad resumes. This typical omission from most advice columns is a shame, as it’s the poorly done forms that can often provide us the best feedback in what not to do. With that in mind, read on for a prime “Bad Resume” example and corresponding explanations on just what you can do to avoid making the same mistakes. The Bad Resume: John Doe johnlikestoparty@email.com Objective I want to be sucessful and move up in my career to make a lot of money. Experience Salesperson, TV Depot, Los Angeles, California Hired and managed employees Managed inventory Customer service Education USC Class of 2016 Los Angeles, CA Bachelor Degree GPA 2.0 Uni High Class of 1999 High school Diploma Hobbies Skiing, swimming, archery, traveling References Available Upon Request The Bad Resume Breakdown Even the most novice among us can probably spot one or two cringe-worthy moments in John “He Didn’t Really Just Write That, Did He?” Doe’s resume, but can you spot them all?  Here’s a breakdown of the numerous mistakes organized by section. Resume Header Not only is the resume header uninspiring from a design aspect, it also lacks relevant contact details.  Your header will be the first and most accessible piece of information on any resume. Be sure it contains your name, address, phone number and email contact details. In addition, John’s “likes to party” email may have been cute with his fraternity friends in college, but is completely unprofessional and out of place in a work environment.  Don’t be like John and stick to emails in formats such as “JohnDoe@gmail.com” to avoid making the wrong impression. Objective As we’ve covered in the past, if you do opt to include an objective statement it should be succinct, relevant and help the interviewer or hiring manager understand your goals and motivation for applying for the specific position.  An improvement on this “bad” objective statement could look something like: To use my experience as a sales manager and knowledge gained through my bachelor’s degree in marketing to earn a marketing job from a major electronics development company. Also, did anyone catch the misspelling in the word “successful”?  Typos in a resume are a major red flag for an employer and are inexcusable for anyone with spell check or that professes to have superior “attention to detail” skills. Experience Listing your prior job responsibilities in the experience portion of your resume isn’t an effective method for communication just why you’re the right candidate for the position.  Be sure to use active sentences and highlight your relevant accomplishments. A great example of better wording here would have been: “Effectively managed team of team of salespeople resulting in exceeding sales goals for 12 months running.” Education Where to begin on this section?  While your education background is important, it shouldn’t be the focus of your CV, especially if you have less than stellar results to show from your endeavors.  Here are a few areas where this resume was particularly bad: If you choose to use abbreviations in your resume, be sure they are standard across your resume.  Best practice would be to avoid these altogether and write out items such as your university name (the University of Southern California instead of USC). If your GPA isn’t going to make the grade, it’s best to leave it off entirely.  A 2.0 conveys to your employer that you had better things to do than study during your educational career.  Instead of a GPA, simply list your degree attained and move along. Unless it’s your highest level of education, the name of your high school, or the fact that you obtained a diploma, isn’t relevant and shouldn’t be included on your resume. Hobbies Hobbies are a much-contested area when it comes to specifics on your resume.  The general rule of thumb in today’s modern job market is that if it isn’t relevant to your profession or the position you’re applying for, exclude them.  Instead, focus on professional certifications or list out community service activities you participate in to show an extra level of involvement and dedication. References Most modern hiring managers know that if they want to see your references they should ask the individual candidate.  Including the tired “references available upon request” line takes up valuable resume space that could be used for extolling your virtues as a candidate. Overall Takeaways A resume should be short, informative snapshots of your skills and experience.  Irrelevant or unprofessional information should be avoided at all costs and beware of typos.  Give your resume one or more proofreads before hitting send and consider asking a trusted friend or advisor to take a second look.  You only get one chance to make a great first impression so be sure a bad resume doesn’t tank your chances at scoring that job or career.

What if you are the one whos wrong Solve conflicts without casualties

What if you are the one who’s wrong Solve conflicts without casualties What if you are the one who’s wrong Solve conflicts without casualties “My specialty is being right when other people are wrong.” George Bernard ShawWe are always wrong with being right.The human mind is both brilliant and pathetic we are continually making new scientific advances, but continue being error-prone (and ignorant about the fact).Follow Ladders on Flipboard!Follow Ladders’ magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and more!You probably think you know much more than you actually do just like me and everyone else.We often assume we know how things work but are clueless. We believe we make logical decisions, yet facts don’t change our minds. Even when we realize we are wrong, we keep denying it.Winning an argument matters more than learning something new we love being right.What if we accept we are always wrong? And stop pretending we know everything. This mindset can end infallibility battles. Hear me out before you think I’m wrong ??Why always being right can be wrong“Wrong does not c ease to be wrong because the majority share in it.”   ? Leo TolstoyFacts don’t change our minds.Various experiments over the years have proved over and over that, once we form an opinion, it’s almost impossible for us to change our mind even when people tell us the data we used was false.Researchers at Stanford selected a group of students half were in favor of capital punishment; the other half were against it. Both groups of students were presented with two different studies one provided data in support of the death penalty; the other presented facts that questioned it.Those students who favored capital punishment found the pro-deterrence study highly credible and the other unconvincing. The other group reacted precisely in the opposite way. At the end of the experiment, not only none of the students changed their minds, but both groups were more passionate about their original position.Our brain manipulates our perception we are immune to facts.‘Confirmation Bias’ is th e tendency we have to embrace information that supports our beliefs and to reject the one that jeopardizes them.As magician Penn Jillette says, “If there’s something you really want to believe, that’s what you should question the most.”There are many types of faulty thinking. We tend to think we are smarter than we actually are. And underestimate any logic that doesn’t match ours.“Error Blindness” is a term coined by self-defined wrongologist Kathryn Schulz. She believes that “we don’t have an internal cue to know we are wrong about something until it’s too late.”As she explains in this TED Talk, this delusional mindset goes through three different phases.First, we are wrong but don’t realize it yet. We feel over-confident because we assume we own the truth. Thus, failing to double check facts. Second, we acknowledge we are wrong either by introspection or because new evidence is introduced. We feel vulnerable and under siege. Lastly, we become defensive and feel under attack. We end denying being wrong.We prefer to stand our ground even if, deep inside, we know we are wrong.In the book, The Knowledge Illusion, cognitive scientists Steven Sloman and Philip Fernbach argue that we survive and thrive despite our mental shortcomings the key to our intelligence lies in other people’s knowledge, not ours.The authors cite a Yale study in which undergraduate students had to rate their understanding of everyday products such as toilets, zippers, etc. everyone gives themselves a generous score. Then, they were also asked to describe, step-by-step, how those devices work. When requested to rate themselves again, the self-assessments dropped. The experience revealed to the students their own ignorance. Zippers and toilets, it seems, are more complicated than most of us think.The same happened with an experiment performed by Rebecca Lawson, a psychologist at the University of Liverpool. She showed a group of students a schematic drawing of a bicyc le that was missing several parts. When asked where the chain or the pedals should go, most students were confident everyone thought they knew the right answer.However, as you can see in the drawings below, most participants were clueless about how bikes work.Sloman and Fernbach call this effect the “illusion of explanatory depth” we all believe we know way more than we actually do.The problem is not our ignorance, but that we are used to hiding it. We burn bridges and create friction with others just to make a point. We let our ego take over our lives the need to be right initiates pointless battles.We love to win, not to learnOur capacity for reason has more to do with winning arguments than with thinking straight. Scientists call this phenomenon “motivated reasoning.” Our unconscious motivations both desires and fears shape the way we interpret events and information.As Eckhart Tolle said: “Needing to be right is a form of violence.”In this powerful TEDx talk, Julia G alef, co-founder of the Center for Applied Rationality, explains why some information or ideas feel like our allies we want them to win. On the other hand, we think opposing ideas or concepts are our enemies we want to shoot them down.Galef named it the “soldier mindset.”It happens all the time at work, sports, or politics. When someone judges our team unfairly, we get upset. But when the same thing happens to the other side, we feel that justice has been made. For example, if a referee awards a penalty to our team, we start looking for reasons why he is wrong. But when the opponent team is penalized, we celebrate the penalty!As Julia Galef says, “Our judgment is strongly influenced, unconsciously, by which side we want to win. And this is ubiquitous. This shapes how we think about our health, our relationships, how we decide how to vote, what we consider fair or ethical.”The soldier mindset is rooted in the need to defend ourselves. The pressure to be right elevates our adr enaline we experience a fight-or-flight response.A more ne mindset is that of the scout this role is about understanding, not defending our beliefs. The scout goes out, maps the terrain, and identifies the real challenge he wants to know what’s really there.The mindset you choose affects your judgment, analysis, and decision-making.The soldier mindset is rooted in emotions like aggression and tribalism. The scout mindset is rooted in curiosity it’s about the pleasure of learning new things, being intrigued when new facts contradict our beliefs, and not feeling weak about changing our mind.Above all, scouts are grounded their self-worth isn’t tied to how right or wrong they are.A soldier mindset creates a pattern that explains accelerated escalation in all types of interactions. Economist Robert Frank calls it the “winner-takes-all, loser-still-pays” pattern it’s the reason why, even when we are in a hole, we keep digging.These “infallibility battles” are fought not j ust in actual wars, but also in political elections, financial speculation, gambling, or even day-to-day arguments. Once we are invested, it feels harder to let go. We are willing to pay almost anything to win, but so are our opponents surrendering means admitting we are wrong.The war keeps escalating making things even worse for both contenders the casualties pile up on each side. In real wars, no one wants to feel their soldiers died in vain. In political campaigns, candidates keep pouring money by denying the possibility of losing all, everyone keeps losing more and more.No one wins an infallibility battle it’s better to cut our losses than ‘paying almost anything’ to win an argument.That’s why a different mindset can help you prevent and de-escalate lost battlesWhat if I am wrong about this?“Confidence comes not from always being right, but from not fearing to be wrong” Peter McIntyreI wrote a post about the 50%-50% rule when facing a conflict, assume that half of th e blame is yours. I usually coach this rule when facilitating a team workshop. It helps move people from blaming each other into action every side focuses on improving their fair share.Today, I want you to suggest something more extreme. The next time you are facing an argument before you start a war assume that you are the one who’s absolutely wrong. Rather than trying to win an argument, see what happens when you consider that you are wrong about everything.This mindset is not just a test to your resilience you are training your mind to overcome the biases we discussed earlier.Whenever you’re struggling with something, ask yourself, “What if I am wrong about this?” Sounds tough, right? But the truth is, you are wrong about that issue and everything else too just like me and everyone else. We all suffer from cognitive delusion.Adopting a “What if I am wrong about this?” is not easy, but you’ll immediately reap the benefits.1. A new mindset uncovers new solutionsWhen w e try to win an argument, we stop paying attention our energy focuses on justifying our thoughts, not on finding the truth.When you stop trying to be right always, you broaden your perspective. As Albert Einstein said, “We cannot solve a problem with the same thinking we used to create it.”2. Move from defending to learningWhen you acknowledge you don’t have all the answers, you open your minds you focus on understanding, not on protecting your ideas. Learning requires adopting an ‘ignorant’ attitude.Like Julia Galef says, a soldier mindset is about winning; a scout mindset is about wanting to know ‘what’s really there.’3. Pay attention instead of doing the talkingWhen you move from being right to embracing uncertainty, you make space to ask the right questions. Instead of taking the conversation over with your arguments, you listen to multiple perspectives.Smart people lead with questions, not answers they create conversations, not arguments.4. Practice intellectual humilityOur ignorance is invisible to us, not to others as I wrote here. Intellectual humility means leaving the door open, even when you think you are right. You are receptive to new facts, instead of trying to protect yourself.Intellectual humility requires fighting a different battle you want to find the truth, not to defeat others.5. No one is either entirely right or wrongWhen you let go of the “I’m wrong, you are right” attitude, you elevate the conversation. No one is always right or always wrong. Don’t judge people because of their beliefs focus on the facts they present.Even those who always seem wrong can be right at some point. Don’t dismiss facts or information based on the person that delivers the news. Anyone is a teacher in disguise.Perspective is everything, especially when it comes to challenging your biases. A “What if I’m wrong about this?” mindset uncovers new solutions intellectual humility makes us hungry for real answers.Are you a soldier dete rmined to defend your viewpoint at all costs or a scout, driven by curiosity? Reflect on what matters to you the most. Do you wish to win the argument or to see the world as vivid as possible?You have the right to be wrong. Learning matters more than trying to win infallible battles history books are full of those already.

Navy Enlisted Submarine Community Ratings

Navy Enlisted Submarine Community Ratings Navy Enlisted Submarine Community Ratings There are two types of sailors in the Submarine Community - Nuclear and Non-Nuclear.  Both are highly trained and professional sailors performing some of the most difficult jobs and enduring challenging living quarters during stealth deployments around the world. In the nuclear community, the enlisted ratings that can serve on either submarines or surface ships (Carriers) are the Machinist Mates (MM), Electricians Mate (EM), Electronic Technicians (ET).  All are required to graduate the 26-week Nuclear Power School near Charleston South Carolina as well as 26 weeks of Prototype Training in Charleston  or Ballston Spa, NY - near Albany. Below are the Navy enlisted non-nuclear  ratings that fall into the Submarine Community. CS(SS) - Culinary Specialist (Submarine):  Culinary Specialists onboard submarines are some of the best in the Navy. They  operate and manage dining facilities and living quarters established to subsist and accommodate Navy personnel. The Submarine Community knows its deployments are challenging on its sailors. Having top-notch cooking every six hours is a way to take the sting out of no port stops and very little sunlight.The Navy’s Submarine Electronics / Computer Field (SECF) offers fours ratings that will receive extensive training in  electricity, electronics, computers, digital systems, fiber optics, and electronics repair.   The first four ratings/ specialty areas are heavily involved with computer and electronics systems.  FT  - Fire Control Technician:  The combat systems specialty (FT) is responsible for maintenance and operation of advanced electronic equipment (in regards to guided-missile systems, underwater weapons) used in the submarine weapons systems.  ET COM  - Electronics Technician (Communications):  The communications specialty (ETR) is responsible for all operational and administrative aspects of the submarine’s radio communication equipment, systems, and programs.   ET NAV  - Electronics Technician (Navigation):    The navigation specialty (ETV) is responsible for all operational and administrative aspects of the submarine’s navigation and radar equipment, systems, and programs.  STS  - Sonar Technician (Submarine):  The acoustic technology specialty (STS) is responsible for all operational and administrative aspects of the submarine’s computer and control mechanisms of the SONAR instruments used for underwater surveillance and scientific data collection.ITS - Information Systems Technician (Submarines):  The duties performed by ITs include designing, installing, operating and maintaining state-of-the-art information systems technology including local and wide area networks, mainframe, mini and microcomputer systems and associated peripheral devices. LS(SS)  - Logistics Specialist:  Formerly the Store Keeper rating, now the  Logistics Specialists (Submarines) receive extensive training in the management of repair parts and consumables for submarines, submarine support and shore bases and maintaining million dollar operating budgets.  Responsible for all aspects of maintaining repair part and consumable inventories and keeping the submarine’s checkbook, they are the boats accountants who pay the bills and keep the ship operating.MM AUX - Machinist Mate (Auxiliary Equipment):  Auxiliary systems specialists (MMA) operate and maintain submarine non-nuclear mechanical systems in hydraulic, air, refrigeration, atmosphere control, plumbing, and diesel engines. MM WEP - Machinist Mate (Weapons):  Weapons systems specialists (MMW)  operate and maintain underwater weapons launch systems (including air and hydraulic systems). They are responsible for the safe loading, unloading, shipping, and storage of these weapons and conduct limited maintenance on torpedoes and missiles.  MT - Missile Technician -  Missile Technicians (Submarines): Missile technicians receive  extensive training in the operation and maintenance of advanced electronic equipment and computers and electro-mechanical support systems used in submarine strategic weapons systems. Responsible for the assembly, maintenance, and repair of nuclear-capable ballistic missiles carried on submarines and their associated advanced electronics, and electro-mechanical navigation and targeting systems, MTs are a vital element in the maintenance of strategic deterrence so vital to the security of the United States. YN(SS) - Yeoman (Submarine): The yeoman  receives extensive training in administrative support to officers and enlisted personnel. Responsible for information related to Navy occupations, general education, requirements for promotion, and rights and benefits, yeomen also orders and distribute clerical supplies. The submarine YN focuses on Executive Administration. As a YN(SS) you also play a vital role in personnel support.  Women in Submarine Force:  Female officers have been  serving on board  OHIO Class  submarines since 2011. The Submarine Force is now offering these same opportunities to enlisted females. On August 2, 2016, the first enlisted female earned her submarine  dolphins.

How to Choose Human Resources Information Technology

How to Choose Human Resources Information Technology How to Choose Human Resources Information Technology Human Resources information system (HRIS) is essential for companies to manage their benefits plans and their employee information. Benefits management technology is no longer a nice to have, but a necessity to help HR manage both a sea of information and the money spent on benefits plans, as HR faces limited resources and constantly changing data. But how do HR and other executives know they are selecting the best HR information technology to manage all of the details, and that the solution they select will stand the test of time? Following are the key questions to ask and answer in the process of selecting Human Resources information technology. What Is the Degree of Flexibility and Scalability That the HR Information Technology Software Provides?   HR professionals should determine if the software can import data from multiple Excel spreadsheets, databases, and paper documents and the level with which it can interface with all kinds of other systems and data needed.The software should be able to take in and filter information from multiple sources. Ideally, this process should also be automated. Many online enrollment solutions require that data be manually manipulated before it can go to a carrier to update their systems. Automation of the update format, transmission schedule, and delivery method can help to eliminate billing and eligibility issues. Will the Software Be Able to Accommodate HRs Company and Benefits Carriers Rules?   A truly capable enrollment engine will evaluate each enrollment activity and apply any necessary combination of rules, messages, prompts, and options specifically designed to meet the exact eligibility requirements desired. The software should accommodate any eligibility rules that the company and carriers have. Will the HR Information Technology Be Able to Grow and Scale With the Organization?   HR should assess the technologys ability to grow as the company hires new employees, offices, benefits changes, and rules. HR should ask about the thresholds for each of these elements. Is the Technology Software Able to Integrate With Other Systems?   Payroll and other functions often share much of the same information as the benefits management. HR can obtain greater efficiencies when data and other employee information entered into one system are shared with another system. Tracking employee recruitment is another needed function. Who Is Responsible for Implementing, or Building, the Solution?   What level of training is involved? Some solutions require the client to be very involved with the initial implementation, which can be overwhelming for already busy HR administrators.HR should have a clear understanding of the level of training and technical expertise that will be required and the amount of time expected. Questioning solution providers on this topic can provide insight into subtle areas that might initially appear simple, yet involve significant technological expertise. HR can then determine specific tasks that may be so cumbersome as to realistically impede completion, potentially reducing HR information technology value and ROI. Is There a Charge If Training Is Involved? Costs of training should also be assessed- including time away and travel expenses for off-site travel. HR needs to become aware of all hard and soft costs involved in the HR information technology adoption. Who Will Own the Data?   The answer to this question should be the Human Resources organization. Companies should be able to transport their data to any Application Service Provider (ASP). If the data resides on a carriers proprietary server, the company may sometimes be charged additional fees should it switch carriers. What types of maintenance and upkeep are required? When software is installed on a companys on-site workstations or servers, regular updates to that technology are often required and may be cumbersome to plan for and manage. Updates to HR information technology are often made automatically with software available online through an Application Service Provider (ASP) or Software as a Service (SaaS) model. What Security Measures Are Built Into the HR Information Technology?   If the software is available online, through an ASP or SaaS model, the provider should offer daily backups, backup servers, and added protective layers. Additional systems and procedures should be in place to safeguard information from being lost or accessed by unauthorized personnel.  HR, in consultation with other managers, should have exclusive authority to decide who will be allowed access to the HR information technology and what degree. Will Employees Be Able to Enroll in Benefits Plans and Make Changes in Real-Time to Their Personal Data and Plan Choices?   Employee access should be a given, considering the widespread, general access to computers.The majority of the employee population have internet access at home. Employee self-service provides a huge potential to save time and money. A good self-service system will guide employees smoothly through entering information about themselves and their dependents. The system should clearly present the plans available and enable employees to make selections at their convenience, simplifying these actions throughout the process with wizards. Employees should also be able to add dependents and change information as necessary, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, year round. These are additional questions to answer as you assess your organization’s Human Resources information technology needs. Will the Technology Provide Human Resources With the Authority to Decide Who Will Be Allowed Access and to What Degree?   Along the same vein providing employee access, the technology should give HR the final say. HR should have the authority to approve all data before it is transmitted to carriers, and should also determine the extent to which employees and others have access. What Types of Reporting Capabilities Are Available From the Hr Information Technology?   Reporting technology should offer multiple views and formats (spreadsheet, PDF, HTML), big picture assessment and the ability to drill down to enhance decision-making. HR should be able to assess, at any time, enrollments in specific plans, outstanding actions, and changes in employee demographic information in relation to benefits and other employee data. Does the Software Offer Specific Features to Help HR Save Time?   Depending on its own departmental needs, HR might want to inquire about the technology’s ability to process information in batches, manage notifications and billing for COBRA policies, provide self-billing and bill reconciliation tools, and specific reporting. Does the Software Offer Specific Features to Help HR Communicate Better With Employees?   Some programs give HR the flexibility to communicate with employees on a number of levels - via mass email, electronic bulletin boards, and by specific filter criteria (such as location, department, insurance plans, enrollment status, retirement status, and others) through the HR information technology system. Having a number of means to communicate can further automate processes and help HR to better target messages. Does the Software Offer Specific Features to Help HR Communicate Better With Employees? In addition to enabling HR to approve transactions, many HR information technology systems also provide capabilities for HR to serve as the gatekeeper in auditing carrier billings to make sure they agree with the data in the system. This can: ensure the accuracy of carrier invoicessave time and moneyassist in the timely delivery of employee enrollments, andenhance confirmation of eligibility when employees go for care. How Will Information Be Exchanged With Carriers?   And, who will be responsible for this interaction? Integration of the HR information technology system should be judged not only by the number of carriers with which the software has relationships but by the type of connection that it enables. Ensuring successful interaction with carriers through a benefits management software requires many steps, including: gathering initial implementation data census;setting up initial integration for the ongoing information exchange;coordinating daily or weekly interaction to make sure data is received and accurately applied;reviewing ongoing updates;ensuring carrier requirements for enrollment are being met in compliance with regulators; andfostering a proactive relationship with each carrier to improve the relationship of data exchange. Knowing who is responsible for each task is essential to understand a product offering fully. Each software provider will offer a different level of integration in providing some, to all, of the tasks outlined above. HR should look to work with vendors that demonstrate strong, ongoing, seamless relationships with the company’s selected carriers.Many providers enable transmission of a generic ANSI 834 file, which may or may not be accepted by the carrier, a factor often influenced by the size of the group. Managers should look for providers that offer clean, validated transfers (ensuring the eligibility of the transaction), customized to each carrier’s needs to avoid issues. They should also look to providers that have a dedicated EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) department to interact with the carrier’s own, specific transfer language. What Level of Customer Service Is Provided?   Is there an additional charge for service? HR should determine the level of access to help that is provided and what constitutes customer service- online help via a database, online chat, email support, conversations with a live person, or a combination thereof. Given the sensitivity of benefits and other HR information, managers should expect a response to inquiries within 24 hours from a direct contact that can help. What Is the Cost of the HR Information Technology System and Does It Outweigh the Benefits?   HR should assess the complete cost of the HR information technology system, including all annual, monthly, and one-time charges, alongside the benefits provided. A slightly more expensive system may more than pay for the difference with features that enable employees to maintain their own records and offer greater convenience, time savings, and accuracy. These factors should be considered and weighed in selecting an HR information technology system. The need for HR information technology systems is increasing. With HR staff finding a vast array of options in HR information technology systems, it is increasingly important to analyze and weigh all options available. Choosing an HR information technology system should be looked at as an investment that will grow with the department and the company’s needs. These questions will lead you to the appropriate HR information technology system for your company.
