6 Great Tips to Launch Your Second Career

6 Great Tips to Launch Your Second Career 6 Great Tips to Launch Your Second Career Its not just individual jobs that have come under threat, but entire career paths. We live in an era where entire professions are being supplanted by rapid technological innovationand automation. Not only can we no longer expect a job for life We may not even be able to expect one career for life.Its very likely that fruchtwein us will have second careers, and some of us may even have third or fourth careers. Despite this fact, much of the career advice one finds on the Internet and elsewhere focuses on how tolaunch your first career. In my opinion, its high time we started talking about how professionals can start their second or third careers. Today, then, I offer six tips on that very subject1. Learn From Your First CareerLaunching a second career means more thansimply doing the exact opposite of your current career. You may even like some aspects of your current career, and you dont have to disc ard them entirely.Rather, what you should do is take a look at your current career and identify the things you like and the things you dislike.Make a list of the likes and dislikes, and then seek out a second career thatretains the likes and dispenses with the dislikes.2. Select Your New Career Based on Your Well-Prepared Career GoalsBefore selecting a newcareer, you need to clearly set out your new career goals. For example, millions of Americans between the ages of 44 and 70 are looking for encore careers.These are second careers thatcombine personal meaning, social impact, and, levels of income that are consistent with or higher than a persons income in their previous career. Younger career-changers may also be looking for such encore careers, or they may be driven by desires likeincreased income, job satisfaction and engagement, and employability.Once you are crystal clear on your career goals, you can go about choosing a new career path that best aligns with behauptung goals.3. Beware Industries and Professions Where Jobs Are in Terminal DeclineWe live in volatile times Globalization and increasing automation mean that many industries will experiencemassive reductions jobs over the next 10-20 years.The Occupational Outlook Handbook provided by the U.S. Bureauof Labor Statisticsprovides forecasts about declining and rising industries over the next decade. A recent Oxford Martin School studysimilarly surveys thejobs that are most vulnerable to automation in the coming years. I highly suggest career-changers spend some time studying ansicht resources to ensure that the new careers they choose dont disappear a few years down the road.4. Select a Career path Where There Jobs and Salaries Are Expected to GrowRelated to the previous tip, career-changers should try to get into career paths where the escalator is going up, not down. You can find out which professions have the most growth potential using the sources presented above.5. Leverage Your ConnectionsChang ing careers isnt easy, but career-changers do have at least one advantage over first-timers who are new to the working world their networks. Most career-changers have likely built powerful networks of high-level contacts over the course of their first careers. They can leverage these networks to find new opportunities in new career paths.Remember, studies show that candidates who are referred to an employer are much more likely to be called to interview and offered a job. As a career-changer, your personal and professional is the secret weapon that can give you an edge over those who are just starting out. Use it.6. Obtaina Relevant Certification to Boost Your CV and Demonstrate Commitment.A great way to prepare yourself for your new career and to show potential employers that you are committed to your second career path is to obtain a relevant certification via night school or online learning. Taking the time and effort to engage in professional developmentwillprove to employers th at you are dedicated and ready to give your new career all that you have. Employers will look favorably on this, and youll be more likely to land interviews and jobs as a result.-Making a career change can be difficult, but its also increasingly becoming the norm. Starting a second career isnt the same as starting your first, but if you follow these tips, youll position yourself for success on your new professional path.

Salary Requirements

Salary RequirementsSalary RequirementsResearch the going rate for your target job now so youre prepared to answer salary requirement questions during the interview.Q When asked about my salary requirements, I never know what to say. If I say a low figure, they have no reason to offer more money. If I give a figure thats too high, they may disregard me as a candidate. Whats the right response? Deb H.A The first rule of salary negotiation is to avoid discussing numbers until the company has extended an offer. This is when you have the most power to negotiate. But as any job seeker will tell you, this is no simple feat. Recruiters typically try to pull this information out of you as early as the initial phone screen, if they didnt already request your salary requirements as part of the application process.Here are a couple phrases you can use (courtesy of Jack Chapman, author of the book How to Make $1000 a Minute ) to deflect questions about your salary requirementsIm koranvers we can come to a good salary agreement if Im the right person for the job, so lets first agree on whether I am.I have some idea of the market, but for a moment lets start with your range. What do you have budgeted for the position?You can try to deflect the questions upfront once, maybe twice, but if the recruiter is insistent, youll need to be prepared with some figures.First things first, do your research. Use Ladders Job Market Guide and Companies pages to discover the going rate for your targeted job with respect to your relevant years of experience and educational background, as well as the industry and geographic location of the jobs youre targeting.You can start by looking up how your current role compares to the market rate, and then also change some of the variables to match those of the companies youre applying to. If the roles you are targeting are in different industries or locations, or the size of the company is very different, this could have an impact on what salary you ca n expect to make.Once youve done the research, come up with three numbersWhats the ideal dollar amount you want (and still have the recruiter take you seriously)?What dollar amount (given the going rate) is reasonable and would still make you happy?What is the lowest dollar amount youd accept?These three numbers make up the compensation range that is in alignment with the going rate for your targeted role, and that would make you happy. If youre forced to state your salary requirements upfront, use the researched number you found to be the fair market value (the same goes for an online application that demands a numeric response).Remember, your value to a prospective employer does not go down just because times are tough. Good employees are even more important to the success of an organization in a challenging economic environment. You just need to be able to explain why youre worth what youre asking for based on your research of the market and the value you can bring to the table.A gain, the most important thing you can do is delay the compensation conversation as long as humanly possible so you have time to build a rapport with your interviewers monetize what you can do, and how you can personally affect the bottom line at the company and move them from what Chapman describes as the budget state of mind (How much is this person going to cost us?) to the judge it mindset (We need this person Shed be such a great asset to the company how can we get her to join us?).Click on the following link to access Ladders Salary QA Series with Jack Chapman.

Here are the beauty and health benefits of biotin

Here are the beauty and health benefits of biotin Here are the beauty and health benefits of biotin Unless you’ve been MIA for the past few years, you know that biotin is the holy grail for fabulous hair, nails, and skin. Why? Your hair, skin, and nails are made up of a protein called  keratin  (yes, like the  semi-permanent  hair straightening treatment  you get to tame your locks). Biotin helps to improve your keratin levels, and as a result, strengthens your hair, skin, and nails. Research is  limited  on the success of taking biotin, but from the countless celebrities who promote biotin-rich gummies (or start feuds over them- I’m talking to you,  James and Tati) and from my own friends’ personal experiences, it can work. Want long locks? Biotin. Nails that won’t break? Biotin. Hydrated and acne-free skin? Biotin. Or so we’ve been told by the beauty industry. But there’s surely a catch, right? We can’t have nice things without consequences, RIGHT?? Ugh, you know the world too well. Of course, there is.Follow Ladders on Flipboard!Follow Ladders’ magazines on Flipb oard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and more!What’s the catch?Recent research has shown that biotin can skew medical tests. Uhh, what? The  FDA  warns that taking an excess of biotin, also known as B7, can cause tests to come back falsely negative or positive. In a  recent statement, the FDA said that there has been “an increase in the number of reported adverse events [injuries associated with medical care]  related to biotin interference with lab tests.” Yikes. Some  common tests  that can be impacted by your biotin pills and cause possible misdiagnoses include troponin (diagnose heart attacks), vitamin D levels, thyroid and other hormone tests, such as parathyroid hormone and  cortisol.The recommended dose for biotin is 30 micrograms, but many of the pills on the market range from 5,000 to 10,000 micrograms. For example, the beloved  SugarBearHair gummies contain 5,000 micrograms of biotin, 1667% of your daily recommended dose. That’s no t a typo- that is way more than you need every day. But, despite the potential test complications, taking that much Biotin all the time doesn’t necessarily pose an immediate health risk. Since biotin is a water-soluble vitamin (meaning you pee out any excess of the vitamin in your system), overdosing is unlikely, according to  Health Line. TG for small miracles.So should I stop taking my gummies?Wow, don’t do anything drastic. While biotin  can  skew  some  medical results, it doesn’t mean it will skew  all  of them. The best thing to do? Tell your doc that you’re taking biotin (and any other meds or vitamins) before you get any testing done. This way, they can advise you on if you need to stop taking the pills for a period of time before getting bloodwork or to keep it in mind when they analyze your results. If you want hair that makes people think you bought it, and you feel like the supplements are helping,  and  your doctor is fully aware and on board,  stick to taking t he pills.If you’re now worried about taking biotin (sorry), there are tons of foods to help you get your daily dose in. Almonds, egg yolks, spinach, and sweet potatoes are just a few foods that can help with your locks.This article originally appeared on Betches Lifestyle.

Pros and Cons of CAD

Pros and Cons of CAD Pros and Cons of CAD Pros and Cons of CAD An informal poll by Mechanical Engineering of approximately 25 engineers revealed that they have mixed feelings about CAD. Their comments inspired us to ask three prominent CAD users what they perceive to be the positives and negatives of the software today. All three agreed that CADs ease of use is both its best quality and its greatest drawback. Less experienced engineers can create designs that look perfectly manufacturable on screen, but cant actually be made. For instance, CAD allows users to simply mate two parts. They snuggle right up against each other, said William Durfee, a professor of mechanical engineering and director of the design education department at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. In real life, theyd need to be welded, or adhesively bonded, or fastened with some type of fastenerits easy to forget that on the screen. With today's surfacing and other improved computer-aided design tools, engineers can more easily depict curved surfaces.Gordon Lewis, a principal at DaTuM 3D, a product-development company, agreed. We have customers come in here and say, My brothers grandson did this design for mecan you guys make it? We have to say, Sorry. It cant be built. The flip side is that the software can make a bad engineer a good one. Youre less likely to make a bad part than you were before, says Bernhard Bettig, a professor of mechanical engineering at Michigan Technological University. The same systems that give their less-experienced colleagues a leg up, give veteran engineers a bedrock technology to support their advanced designs. Aware of how a design will be made and assembled, theyre much less likely to come up with a part or product that faces trouble on the manufacturing side. As they create a design, they run a movie in their head about how it could be made, Durfee said. And then there are the designs themselves. In the early days, everybody tried to use CAD tools like theyd used their drawing boards. They couldnt do it because CAD had such restrictions, Lewis said. Twenty years ago, you saw designs that were very boxy because of the limitation of the tools. Today, we see free-flowing shapes, contours, and blended angles. CAD has helped change mouse shape. The yellow box mouse (above) is from a mid-1960s Xerox Alto II XM computer. A contemporary mouse (below) shows the curved surfaces CAD design allows.Other novices, frustrated because they cant make such shapes, fall into a pattern of using the patterns that are easiest to carry out in CAD. You can whip up a rectangle with round things on it in 20 seconds, because those buttons are right there, Durfee said. CAD has evolved so its easier to make a double-curved surface than five years ago, but itll be a while before itll be truly easy to do. Thats why some engineers still sculpt a design in clay before bringing it into CAD. And digital design is slower than sketching. You fire up the CAD application and three minutes later youre making a rectangle. Twenty minutes later, youre coming up with your first idea, Durfee said. A good designer could come up with 100 fledgling ideas in that time. Durfee lauds the ease of documentation. An engineer fresh from a brainstorming session may have 100 ideas. Once CAD files, theyre automatically archived and documented. Once youve created something in a CAD package, youve committed it to a paper trail, Durfee said. Thats huge in things like medical design, where you have to track the process from day one. The average engineer isnt that excited about documentation, so its nice to have a system that does it for him. Drawbacks aside, Durfee, Bettig, and Lewis agreed that its an exciting time for CAD. Whenever hes frustrated by the limitations of the software, Lewis remembers his early days in industry. I can make and cost out anything you want to build, all on my laptop, he said. Its really Buck Rogers. [Adapted from Pros and Cons of CAD, by Jean Thilmany, Associate Editor, Mechanical Engineering, September 2006.] Twenty years ago, you saw designs that were very boxy because of the limitation of the tools. Today, we see free-flowing shapes, contours, and blended angles.Gordon Lewis, a principal at DaTuM 3D

Quotations About Experience Experience is not a matter of having actually swum the Hellespont, or danced with the dervishes, or slept in a doss-house. It is a matter of sensibility and intuition, of seeing, and hearing the significant thing, of paying attention at the right moments, of understanding and coordinating. Experience is not what happens to a man; it is what a man does with what happens to him.” -Aldous Huxley Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. -Douglas Adams We should come home from adventures, and perils, and discoveries every day with new experience and character. -Henry David Thoreau ”It is not how much you know about life but how you live your life that counts. Those who can avoid mistakes by observing the mistakes of others are most apt to keep free from sorrow. In a world full of uncertainties, the record of what has gone before - human experience - is as sure and reliable as anything of which we know.” -Ray Lyman Wilbur Good judgment comes from experience and experience comes from bad judgment. -Barry LePatner Men are wise in proportion, not to their experience, but to their capacity for experience. -James Boswell You know more of a road by having traveled it than by all the conjectures and descriptions in the world. -William Hazlitt ”To live means to experience - through doing, feeling, thinking. Experience takes place in time, so time is the ultimate scarce resource we have. Over the years, the content of experience will determine the quality of life. Therefore one of the most essential decisions any of us can make is about how ones time is allocated or invested. -Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along. You must do the thing you think you cannot do. -Eleanor Roosevelt ”Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes. -Oscar Wilde The years teach much which the days never know. -Ralph Waldo Emerson Everyone is a prisoner of his own experiences. No one can eliminate prejudices - just recognize them. -Edward R. Murrow Winning is important to me, but what brings me real joy is the experience of being fully engaged in whatever Im doing. -Phil Jackson We learn by example and by direct experience because there are real limits to the adequacy of verbal instruction. -Malcolm Gladwell A writer needs three things, experience, observation, and imagination, any two of which, at times any one of which, can supply the lack of the others. -William Faulkner It is possible to make each year bring with it a lasting gift to add to the fullness of experience, to be treasured up, savored, and remembered. They need not be startling, these gifts of the years; they may be things that lie within the reach of all. -Grenville Kleiser It is not how much you know about life but how you live your life that counts. Those who can avoid mistakes by observing the mistakes of others are most apt to keep free from sorrow. In a world full of uncertainties, the record of what has gone before - human experience - is as sure and reliable as anything of which we know. -Ray Lyman Wilbur As the traveler who has once been from home is wiser than he who has never left his own doorstep, so a knowledge of one other culture should sharpen our ability to scrutinize more steadily, to appreciate lovingly, our own. -Margaret Mead When its time to die, let us not discover that we have never lived. -Henry David Thoreau ”Im a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it. -Thomas Jefferson All growth is a leap in the dark, a spontaneous unpremeditated act without benefit of experience. -Henry Miller The further one advances in experience, the closer one comes to the unfathomable; the more one learns to utilize experience, the more one recognizes that the unfathomable is of no practical value. -Johann Wolfgang von Goethe For the unlearned, old age is winter; for the learned, it is the season of the harvest. -The Talmud Do you know the difference between education and experience? Education is when you read the fine print; experience is what you get when you dont. -Pete Seeger Life must be understood backwards; but... it must be lived forward. -Soren Kierkegaard

Learn how to Handle Distracting Coworkers

Learn how to Handle Distracting Coworkers Learn how to Handle Distracting Coworkers One way to potentially scare of the less assertive (read: intrusive) of the coworker bunch is simply to wear a pair of headphones. Whether or not you are actually listening to music, the perception of you in your own world may aid in adding a subtle “Do Not Disturb” sign to your cubicle wall. For the purposes of ridding yourself of unwanted visitors, it is probably more useful to wear highly visible (though not necessarily bulky) headphones so that you are more obvious. Earbuds may be easily overlooked, or even ignored, by anyone seeking your attention. If your workplace doesn’t allow for even the appearance of listening to music at your desk, or you’d just prefer not to wear a pair of headphones all day, you may want to consider developing a few trigger phrases or conversation “traps” to end coworker interactions through the use of language: During particularly busy times, let the intruder know that you are pleased that they stopped because it has given you the opportunity to ask him or her to help you catch up on tasks that you wouldn’t otherwise complete due to your increased workload. Cash in a favor and send them away with work to do. Not only can this potentially help you achieve more work but also sends a message that if a coworker wishes to interrupt you during peak hours they can expect to be solicited for help. Focus your conversation topics on subjects that you know your coworker knows little about or dislikes. While you may still be stuck participating in a conversation, there is a good chance that it will be much more brief than if you engaged your colleague in a topic that he or she loves. In a similar vein, explicitly state to your coworker that you are not interested in whatever it is that he or she is talking about. This is sure to shorten the conversation because it will devolve into a one-sided conversation of explaining why the initial conversation topic is interesting to begin with. And odds are that after enough attempts at conversing with an uninterested person, he or she will look elsewhere to find two-sided conversations. If the passive-aggressive nature of these strategies is too much of a turn off for your personality, you can always simply be up front with your desire to be left alone. Being assertive doesn’t require that you be rude or mean. It’s just a matter of remaining calm, composed, and polite while you explain to the person that it is important that you be left alone to focus on your work.

5 Popular Resume Tips You SHOULDNT Follow

5 Popular Resume Tips You SHOULDNT Follow 5 Popular Resume Tips You SHOULDNT Follow Most resume tip resources are primarily made up of common sense and tried-and-true methods, but there are a few pieces of advice out there that could hurt more than they help.  Use caution when it comes to these 5 resume tips: Resume Tip 1: Hide gaps or short-term gigs in your resume by removing exact dates from your experience Some advise to cover up gaps in your experience or short-lived jobs by reformatting the dates on your resume. For example, a January-to-September gap like this: WXYZ Company, September 2017-Present ABCD Company, March 2015-January 2017 Becomes: WXYZ Company, 2017-Present ABCD Company, 2015-2017 The gap magically disappears. Similarly, for a single short-term position,  October 2016-January 2017 becomes 2016-2017. Alternatively, some advise to only list the duration of employment (e.g. Microsoft 4 years, 2 months) to hide gaps or protect against age discrimination. Why it seems like a good idea: Recruiters could see a gap in your resume or a short-lived job as a major red flag. Instead of hearing you out, they could opt to move on to other candidates. By disguising these gaps and bumps in the road with formatting tricks, you might fool the recruiter and buy enough time to get them hooked on your skillset. Why it isnt:  One, a recruiter will eventually catch on and dock you for being sneaky. Two,  the applicant tracking system  (ATS) that parses your resume into a searchable candidate profile could fail to make sense of your formatting, creating even bigger problems. The popular ATS  iCIMS, for example, defaults year-only dates to January 1st, so the job you labeled 2017-2017 becomes January 1, 2017-January 1, 2017. The job you worked between November 2016 and December 2017 but labeled as 2016-2017 becomes January 1, 2016-January 1, 2017. This could turn your work history into a puzzle the recruiter doesnt have time to piece together. It could also  come back to bite you if there are any automated filters enabled that calculate and rate you based on experience levels. Even worse, the year-only format could cause an ATS to fail to recognize the experience altogether, excluding it from search or ranking algorithms, especially if its in the 4 years, 2 months format. What you should do instead:  Be honest. Masking a gap or job hopping concern could, in theory, help get your foot in the door, but recruiters and hiring managers will uncover the truth at some point in the hiring process. They wont be happy to learn about a potential problem after theyve already invested the time to meet you. Instead, use conventional formatting and explain your gaps as honestly as you can in your cover letter.  Be prepared to talk about it if you make it to an interview. Remove short-term jobs from your resume that arent strengthening your candidacy, or label short-term jobs with (Temporary), (Seasonal), (Contract), (Freelance) etc. Resume Tip 2: Use a Functional Resume Along the same lines, the functional resume format  is a popular option among career changers and people with gaps in their resume.  This format designates two-thirds of the page to accomplishments and transferable skills before briefly listing the actual work history at the bottom. Functional Resume Template Example. Click to Enlarge. Download docx. Why it seems like a good idea:  By dedicating your resumes prime real estate to your most attractive skills and accomplishments, the recruiter might pay less attention to your unconventional work history or gaps in your resume. Why it isnt: “Recruiters hate the functional resume,” a veteran recruiter told Jobscan. Recruiters arent stupid. They know that youre using a functional resume to try and hide shortcomings on your resume. If anything, a functional resume draws more attention to whatever it is youre hiding because the format itself is a red flag. Recruiters cant assign proper value to skills or accomplishments without context, so if they bother at all with your functional resume, the first thing theyre going to do is dig deeper.  Additionally, a functional resume format is highly unlikely to play nice with an ATS. “I’ve seen plenty of people that try to use a functional resume and I tell them, ‘You’re just shooting yourself in the foot,' concluded the recruiter. What you should do instead:  If a traditional reverse-chronological resume format isnt for you, try instead the hybrid resume format. More and more resumes are moving in this direction. You can add a few top skills and/or achievements at the top of the resume but still have room to validate them with detailed work experience. Recruiters and online application systems alike are more receptive to this format. Hybrid Resume Template. Click to Enlarge. Download .docx Resume Tip 3: Beat applicant tracking systems by using a word cloud tool Using a word cloud to beat ATS algorithms is an extremely popular resume hack these days. These systems either analyze your resume contents and compare it to whats in the job description or parse your resume to make it searchable for recruiters. Why it seems like a good idea:  Running the job description through a word cloud tool  like TagCrowd or WordItOut will reveal which words appear most frequently and, in theory, are most important to the hiring company. Adding these words to your resume should increase your chances of making it through the ATS. Why it isnt:  The logic behind this approach is sound but word cloud tools leave a lot to be desired as a job search tool. They arent intelligent enough to recognize what is and isnt an actual skill, put together multi-word phrases, or ignore unhelpful filler words. This leaves you to sort through a great deal of noise in order to make the right changes to your resume. What you should do instead:  Jobscan not only calculates the frequency of words in a job description, it intelligently categorizes actual skills from the job description, compares them to whats in your resume, and breaks it all down into an easy-to-read report. Resume Tip 4: Use hidden keywords to beat applicant tracking systems Making sure your resume is optimized for and compliant with ATS is a savvy and above-board job search technique. Trying to hack or cheat the system by secretly stuffing your resume with skills you dont possess is an easily discoverable tactic that will land you on a recruiters bad side. In the Reddit community Unethical Pro Tips, a user suggested hiding the entire job description in your resume with white text while another suggested using Jobscan to figure out which keywords you should secretly stuff into your resume. Why it seems like a good idea: Its true that these techniques could manipulate an applicant tracking systems ranking or search algorithm to make you appear to be a great match for the job. Why it isnt:  Many top applicant tracking systems parse your resume into a candidate profile, meaning that recruiters are looking at plain text fields instead of the resume you uploaded. A pasted job description would stand out like a sore thumb. Furthermore, many ATS highlight search terms so that recruiters can see the context of the keyword. Heres an example of what that looks like for an applicant who tried to secretly stuff the keyword accounting into their resume through  Taleo. An applicant profile in Taleo, the most commonly used ATS. This applicant tried to beat the system using the hidden text method (“Accounting Accounting…”), but it’s easy to spot once the resume text has been parsed into the system. What you should do instead: Optimizing your resume with a tool like Jobscan isnt about tricking the system. Its about making sure your resume isnt missing anything and works in sync with the system. Add missing skills and keywords you actually possess into your resume as naturally as possible.  Resume Tip 5: Always upload your resume as a PDF Online applicant tracking systems accept a variety of file types when it comes to uploading your resume. Taleo, for example, accepts RTF, DOC, DOCX, CSV, TXT, PDF, and several other file formats. No matter whats available, some people recommend  always uploading a PDF. Why it seems like a good idea:  When it comes to other file types, the formatting can thrown out of whack depending in which word processor, browser, or cloud app its opened. By uploading a PDF, you lower the risk of a formatting error making your resume appear unprofessional. A PDF is more visually stable and will display your resume exactly how you designed it. Why it isnt: If youre emailing your resume directly to a hiring manager, a PDF is a great way to go. However, if youre uploading your resume into an ATS that automatically pulls information from your resume into an applicant profile, a PDFs contents is slightly less likely to be parsed correctly. This means that your application might be excluded from some search results or might not rank as well as it otherwise could. What you should do instead:  By using a standard text-based format like DOC or DOCX and keeping your formatting simple, the system is more likely to understand and correctly parse your information, giving you the best chance possible to be a top result in an ATS.

This simple strategy decreases anxiety and fear

This simple strategy decreases anxiety and fear This simple strategy decreases anxiety and fear The future is filled with unknowns.There is so much uncertainty, not only regarding personal issues, but also global and political issues.This uncertainty often leads to worry.Follow Ladders on Flipboard!Follow Ladders’ magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and more!Some estimate that people spend  nearly six years  of their lives worrying about the future. Ironically,  a primary regret  in older people’s lives was the time they spent worrying, according to Cornell professor Karl Pillimer, who interviewed over 1,200 elderly people.Over and over Pillimer heard the same thing.I wish I hadn’t spent so much of my life worrying.For instance, John Alonzo, aged 83, said, “Don’t believe that worrying will solve or help anything. It won’t. So stop it.”  Similarly, James Huang, aged 87, stated:Why? I ask myself. What possible difference did it make that I kept my mind on every little thing that might go wrong? When I realized tha t it made no difference at all, I experienced a freedom that’s hard to describe. My life lesson is this: Turn yourself from frittering away the day worrying about what comes next and let everything else that you love and enjoy move in. From the vantage point of being near-death, life  seems very short.  Time is a precious and very finite resource. The longer you live, the more you realize your time on this beautiful planet is brief.The research is clear, worrying often leads to  long-term health consequences, including cardiovascular disease and other chronic conditions.Not surprisingly, research has found that people with an  â€œexternal locus of control”  spend much more time worrying than those with an internal locus of control. Your locus of control is what you believe dictates the course of your life.External or internal. Either you’re in control of your life or something else is.If something else is, you should be worried. After all, there’s nothing you can do about it.Conversely, when you have an internal locus of control, you proactively take care of the situation. You don’t wait for life to come to you. You act, not react.Worrying doesn’t solve your problems. Actually, when you worry, you perform worse. Your working memory (short-term), which should be focused on the task, is being used up worrying.Worrying is a form of self-inflicted torture.Write it  DownSeveral research studies have found that  writing down  what you’re worried about can calm you down.There are two separate groups of researchers who have found that writing reduces your worries about the future. However, these groups prescribe different things to write  about.Researchers at University of Colorado have found that writing about your personal values, such as family and friends, helps you perform better. They call this “values affirmation.” According to the researchers,  â€œIt reminds [you] what [you] stand for.”Conversely, researchers at The University of Chicago have found that having students write directly about their concerns helps reduce their worrying. According to Dr. Beilock at U. of Chicago,  â€œWhen [you] write, [you] might reappraise the situation?- ?thinking about what has to be done, rat her than what [you] might lose.”The cool part is, both “interventions” work. I’ve personally done a blend of both for a long time without being aware of the scientific findings to back it.If I’m about to give a public speech, or if I’m worrying about anything in particular, I write down the things that are important to me and the things I’m worrying about. It puts things into proper perspective, helping me realize that  it doesn’t really matter.  Everything is going to be okay.Burn ItAnother interesting approach, less scientifically-validated, is writing down what you’re worried about and then  burning the piece of paper.  Some call this practice “Write and Burn,” others call it “Burning Release.”Thinking about what you’re worried about brings your emotions to the surface. While you write, you re-frame your thinking toward those worries. Burning what you’ve written down is a helpful way of  â€œletting go.”Write down what you’re worried about.Acknowl edge it.Burn it.Let it go.Keep moving forward.Pain is Inevitable, Suffering is  Optional“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”?- ?Viktor FranklThe sensation of fear or concern is actually highly beneficial. It reflects the body responding to a stimulus, directing where you should be paying attention. However, these sensations are meant to be learned from and  responded to, not dwelt in.Said Ryan Holiday in  The Obstacle is the Way,  â€œThere is no good or bad without us, there is only perception. There is the event itself and the story we tell ourselves about what it means.” Worrying is when you take something and atatch negative emotions and meaning to it, which leads to  unnecessary suffering.Looking Back, You’ll Regret  Worrying“What great thing would you attempt if you knew you could not fail?”?- ?Robert H. SchullerWorrying is generally focused on something uncertain about the future, like passing a test. Once you’ve finished or completed what you were previously worried about, you see it with  new eyes.Now that you’ve done it, you understand it. There’s nothing to worry about. You know the process. You’ve watched yourself do it, so it’s reasonable to believe you could do it again if necessary.But if you haven’t yet done something, you don’t usually have that level of confidence and understanding.But could you?You absolutely can. This is what Tony Robbins calls  â€œresolve.”  To have resolve means “It’s done,” even before you’ve actually done it. You’ve  decided  you are going to do something, you’re  committed  to it for the long-haul, and in your mind, it’s  already a done-deal.You are resolved.It is finished.Hence, Ralph Waldo Emerson wisely stated,  â€œOnce you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen.”Get out of your head, that’s where worrying will keep you.Un-clench yourself.Tak e a few breaths.Quit torturing yourself (and those around you).You are going to make it through this.

You Can Consciously Transform Your Culture

You Can Consciously Transform Your Culture You Can Consciously Transform Your Culture Your corporate culture has a significant impact on whether or not your company accomplishes its most significant goals. You may need to tweak the culture, or you may need a complete culture overhaul.  Although changing your organizational culture can feel like rolling rocks uphill, it will likely result in increased growth and revenue. Organizational cultures form over years of interaction among participants in the organization. It usually takes a significant event for people to consider culture change, such as flirting with bankruptcy, a significant loss of sales and customers, a new CEO with a different outlook and agenda, or losing $1 million. Steps in Organizational Culture Change Three major steps are involved in changing an organizations culture. Understand your current culture.Decide where your organization wants to go, define its strategic direction, and decide what the organizational culture should look like. What vision does the organization have for its future, and how must the culture change  to accomplish that vision?The individuals in the organization must decide to change their behavior to create the desired organizational culture. This is the hardest step in culture change. Plan the Desired Organizational Culture Develop a picture of your organizations desired future. What does the organization want to create? How will this benefit your employees and the organizations other stakeholders? Examine your mission, vision, and values for both the strategic and the value-based components of the organization. Your management team needs to answer questions such as: What are the five most important values you would like to see represented in your organizational culture?Are these values compatible with your current organizational culture? Do they exist now? If not, why not? If they are so important, why arent you attaining these values?Are your mission, vision, and values clearly articulated and disseminated so that employees have a clear understanding of the organizations direction and where they fit within it?What cultural elements support the success of your organization, and what elements of the current organizational culture need to change? Perhaps your team decides that you spend too much time agreeing with each other rather than challenging potentially incorrect forecasts and assumptions of fellow team members. Or perhaps key management leaders spend most of their time with team members individually and promote individual agendas to the detriment of the cohesive functioning of the whole group. Consciously identify the cultural implements and decide to change them. Change the Organizational Culture Knowing what the desired organizational culture looks like is not enough. Organizations must create plans to ensure that the desired organizational culture becomes a reality. The two most important elements for creating organizational cultural change are executive support and training. Executive Support Executives must support cultural change in ways beyond verbal assent. They must show support  for cultural change by changing their own behaviors. Provide Training Culture change depends on behavior and belief change. Members of the organization must clearly understand what is expected of them and how to actually do the new behaviors. Use training to communicate expectations and new behaviors. Mentoring will also help employees learn and change. Additional Ways to Change the Organizational Culture Communication, employee involvement, and a willingness to learn and adapt are keys to keeping organizational change on track. Create value and belief statements Ask employee focus groups to put the companys mission, vision, and values into words that state the impact on each employees job. For one job, the employee stated, I live the value of quality patient care by listening attentively whenever a patient speaks. This exercise gives all employees a common understanding of the desired culture that actually reflects the actions they must commit to on their jobs. Practice effective communication Keeping all employees informed about the organizational culture change process ensures commitment and success. Telling employees what is expected of them is critical for effective organizational culture change. Review organizational structure You may need to change the physical structure of the company to align with the desired organizational culture. For example, a small company with four distinct business units competing for a product, customers, and internal support resources may not support an effective organizational culture and the overall success of the business. Consider moving employees and teams You want to create the sense of cohesion and camaraderie among groups that must work together to serve customers. So, to accomplish this closeness, you will want to move people who must work closely together into the same space. Redesign your approach to rewards and recognition  You will likely need to change the reward system to encourage behaviors vital to the desired organizational culture. For example, if you want to encourage employees to work as cohesive teams, you must reward them for their success as team players. Review all work systems Make sure systems such as employee promotions, pay practices, performance management, and employee selection align with the desired culture. For example, you cannot just reward individual performance if your new organizational culture values teamwork. A senior leaders bonus should also be based on  playing well with others  on the leadership team to accomplish your organizational goals. It is more difficult to change the culture of an existing organization than to  create a culture  in a  brand-new organization or team. When an organizational culture is already established, people must unlearn the old values, assumptions, and behaviors before they can learn the new ones. But with time, commitment, planning, and proper execution, you can change your organizational culture to support the accomplishment of key your business goals and needed outcomes. Yes, you can.

How Get an Agent as an Actor, Writer, or Director

How Get an Agent as an Actor, Writer, or Director How Get an Agent as an Actor, Writer, or Director Getting an agent can seem like an impossible task, but its not as difficult as you might think. Agents are an important part of your potential success in the creative realm, but they arent the end all be all. That said, how do you go about getting one? Depending on whether you are an actor, writer or director, the process of getting an agent is a bit different for each vocation. But no matter what you wish to be, the trick to getting an agent, however, is that you usually need to make most of the effort. Talent Agents for Actors For actors, the type of agent you need is called a talent agent. That might seem obvious, but there are a number of different types of talent agents depending on what type of work youre looking for. You want to start by finding someone who specializes in the area that youre hoping to break into. A talent agent that specializes in the film is very different from the one who specializes in commercials. So, begin by determining which direction is best suited to you. Talent agents usually find their clients in one of three ways: 1) they are referrals from other people; 2) they are people they sought out (most often established actors that were stolen from other agencies); or 3) by discovering them through a talent showcase, student film or other completed work. Does this mean that you wont ever be discovered by working as a waitress at a Hollywood industry hangout? No, but your chances are markedly decreased if this is the only effort you make. Too many actors think that an agent will choose to represent them, simply because they have an amazing headshot. True, a good headshot might give you the slightest edge toward getting a meeting, but more often than not, it ends up in the trash. One quick note about headshots: you want to be sure that no matter what, you look as close to your headshot as possible. If youve gained or lost weight, changed your hairstyle, or simply aged a few years, nothing will turn off a casting agent faster than an inaccurate photo representation of you. Pay the extra money and update them as you need to. The trick to getting a good talent agent is to be sure that you put yourself in a place to get discovered. That means, find work on your own. That could mean anything from doing talent showcases to student films to whatever else you can find. If you live in Los Angeles or New York, and even if you dont, you should subscribe to Back Stage West (either the magazine or the website), as this is an excellent resource for aspiring actors to find student and low-budget movies that are casting and are more likely to consider green actors. Also, consider checking out Craigslist.com. Its surprising how many low budget films advertise there looking for casting potentials. Be careful choosing this route, however, as a lot of seemingly legitimate ads may not be legitimate. Be aware of anyone who wants to charge you money for their representation services. Agents rep their clients for free and only get paid when they get their clients work. Stay as far away from these types as you can. Literary Agent for Writers With writing, again its very important that you first determine what type of writing you wish to do. Are you planning on becoming a feature writer (movies), television writer, or a novelist? (If you are in fact planning on becoming a novelist, know that much of what follows will not apply to you. This section will focus on film and TV writers.) Once youve decided what type of writing you wish to specialize in, now you can start the process of getting an agent. The first thing you need to have is some sort of written material. After all, you cant really call yourself a writer if you dont have a body of work that represents what youre capable of. So, be sure to have either a spec script (or two) if you wish to be a TV writer or a feature spec if you wish to write for film. Once you have these materials in hand, you cant just blindly submit them to agencies and then hope that theyll read your script. This is when your networking skills become key. You will want to be sure to let all of your friends and co-workers know that you hope to break into Hollywood as a writer and that youre in the market for an agent. Chances are someone will know someone who will know someone who will know someone that can get your material in front of an agent. Literary agents are, for the most part, pretty intelligent people who are always looking for good material written by good writers. After all, they all want to take credit for finding the next David E. Kelly or Aaron Sorkin- and whos to say thats not you? If they read your stuff and like it, chances are theyll seek you out. The hard part is getting your material in front of these people. So, that means you have to network, network, network, and network some more. One thing you need to be aware of however is that you will likely just have one chance to make an impression on an agent. They are very busy people who arent likely to give writers a couple of chances to impress them. So, only submit your material when its at its very best. That means everything from making sure your dialogue, story structure, and characters are top notch, to making sure you have proofread your script for typos. Dont spend a lot of time on your cover. Your material should look like a script. Plain, white, three-hole paper bound with brass script brands. Dont bind it, put a fancy cover on it, and never put any other information on it other than the title, author, and your contact information. Anything else and people reading it will know youre an amateur. Agents for Directors For potential  directors, getting an agent is actually not all that difficult (if youre talented). If youre a legitimate director, meaning youve actually directed something that you can send out as material, many agents will be willing to add you to their roster to see whether or not your work sparks with the executives they deal with. Agents that represent directors learn the type of genre and tone that their existing directors are capable of directing and will usually seek out those projects that suit those needs. So, the trick here is to become a part of that list. You need to start this process by first compiling a  Directors Reel. Your reel should have snippets of everything youve directed to date so that anyone watching it will see that you have the following qualifications: Talent: Talent with regard to directing means you need to showcase your abilities to find certain types of shots, get the most out of your actors and the ability to put your own visual spin (or voice) on whatever the subject matter might be.Technical Skills: You need to show that you can get the shot coverage you need to effectively tell a story as well as the ability to direct the editing process to achieve complete and well-rounded scenes.Proper Tone: If youre putting yourself out there as a comedy director, but you cant visually relate a scripted joke, then you might not be well suited for your job of choice. Your reel needs to showcase both the type of work youre capable of as well as the voice you use to show it. One important thing to remember when making your directors reel is to be sure that you dont overload it. Simply add those pieces of material that best showcase your directing talents and keep the entire reel under 5 minutes if possible. If you wish to include full episodes or movies, be sure to do so after your initial five-minute sample. Anything longer and chances  are  good there will be few if any executives and producers who will watch the entire thing and not get to the parts you want them to see. Keep in mind that getting an agent is not the impossible task it can often seem to be. You need to have extreme patience during this process, but that doesnt mean that you sit around waiting for an agent to suddenly discover you and your talents. Get out there and show off what you do and let the agents come and find you.
