Its not you, its them How to survive a gaslighting boss

Its notlage you, its them How to survive a gaslighting anfhrerIts not you, its them How to survive a gaslighting baboEveryone has worked with an underwhelming or disappointing boss during the course of their career. Whether its the boss that overshares, the boss without work/life balance, or the one who micromanages, bad bosses are the subject of happy hour grievances and the top cause of employee turnover at companies across the country.In fact, a report from Gallup presents that out of 7,200 adults surveyed, roughly half left a job to get away from their manager. For every incompetent or overbearing manager, theres a more nefarious kind that may cause harm not only to your career but also to your psyche.Those are more commonly known as gaslighters.Gaslighting was brought into the modern-day lexicon and sparked a national debate after writer Lauren Duca outlined what gaslighting at a societal level looks like for her 2016 article following the presidential election of Donald Trump. Inspired by the 1944 film Gaslight, the term refers to an emotional hetze strategy in which an abuser makes their victim repeatedly question their perception of reality. Although tactics may vary in distinction, gaslighting always offsets accountability and shortcomings to the subject of the abuse. If your confidence has taken a hit in your current role and you feel like youre going crazy when you consider your work, a gaslighting boss might be to blame.However, gaslighting is not as easily identified in day-to-day relationships as it is on paper.In many cases, gaslighting creates a toxic power dynamic between the abuser and the victim which is usually compacted when the offender is your boss. It also feels particularly intense in the workplace because of the emotional response this manipulation solicits. Rather than connecting over fact-based experiences and problem-solving opportunities, a gaslighting boss might use undue judgment, an unnecessary level of scrutiny, or microaggress ions to manage. Here are some classic gaslighting examples to be aware ofStrategic codependencyYour boss pretends not to see you, acknowledge your work, or refuses to listen to your feedback. Meanwhile, they might offer isolated compliments and praise that seems out of place or uncharacteristically generous. By creating an environment where direct reports compete with peers for praise or opportunities to build their trust, they cement an unequal power dynamic, as well as mistrust among the team.Countering and divertingWhen they feel challenged, gaslighting bosses double-down with circular conversations, counterattacks, or arguments that deviate from the points at hand. The author of Power Surviving and Thriving After Narcissistic Abuse, Shahida Arabi, captures the outcome of this tactic perfectly They do this in order to discredit, confuse and frustrate you, distract you from the main problem and make you feel guilty for being a human being with actual thoughts and feelings that mig ht differ from their own. In their eyes, you are the problem if you happen to exist.TrivializingIf your boss makes your needs or your experiences seem insignificant to theirs or the organizations at large, if you bring up concerns and your boss suggests youre too emotional, making a big deal out of nothing, or that you should just get with the program, your boss is actively trivializing your agency in the organization. Theyre also calling your perception of reality into question by making you doubt whether your inherent response to these behaviors is appropriate while taking no time to reflect on theirs.Punitive punishmentsIf you try to disrupt the power balance by presenting any concerns within your workplace under a gaslighting boss, you may also experience judgment or punitive punishment like your boss sabotaging your work. At one particular organization I was employed at, I disagreed with the publisher on how my name should be written in the byline. The byline on the article I h ad written was effectively removed as a direct result of my insubordination over this issue. This was when I knew I was not at a typical organization and that it was time to move on.Forgetting/denialYour boss claims to have forgotten conversations as they occurred or denies promises made. For example, if a boss promised a raise or compensation following a project or sale you completed but then insists the conversation never happened.These are just a short list of what someone under a gaslighting boss might endure. In order to avoid falling into these workplace pitfalls and maintain healthy boundaries, consider the following tips on how to productively manage these situationsRecord everything in writing and have witnesses when possible. Try keeping a record of your conversations via email and avoid making spoken agreements that cant be corroborated with documentation. This makes it harder for gaslighters to question your experiences and youll have a reference point if they try. Make sure to copy team members on emails whenever possible and communicate facts or necessary information as clearly as possible.Lean on your tribe. When a boss is making you question your sense of reality, feedback from people you know and trust is absolutely essential. Dont underestimate the power of a group of peers that can provide you with professional feedback and understanding. When you feel like youre losing your grasp, this group will be imperative as a sounding-board and moral compass.Trust your gut. Gaslighting takes a toll on your confidence, self-esteem, and even your emotional health. This may eingabeaufforderung depressive episodes, anxiety, apathy towards your work, or an unending sense of being overwhelmed. If you constantly feel attacked at work but cant identify why, pay attention to subtle tactics and prompts that seek to undermine or discredit you. Make a record of them and escalate it to the appropriate team members when possible.A good example of escalating an issu e with a gaslighting manager appropriately is talking to your HR representative. If systematic sabotage is a reoccurring issue or you consider yourself in constant danger of emotional, physical, or mental harm, reach out to a trusted resource within the department. Be prepared with written or documented examples and think about solution-oriented outcomes you can request in your meeting. This will help your case move along in a productive manner.Many may suggest telling the offender exactly how you feel, but for people who are in a position of power and do not showcase healthy emotional boundaries, this may be another opportunity to counter your perception of reality. It may be unlikely that the other party is willing to do the work to communicate or behave appropriately. In such case, another option may be a department transfer or finding a new job altogether. Make sure you dont get caught in an endless cycle of having to prove yourself or seeking reasonable outcomes. Especially whe n youre not speaking to someone reasonable. Challenging this type of boss offers an opportunity for them to stress your faults while entirely failing to acknowledge their own.Keep the upper hand. Unfortunately, emotional reactions might incite the abuser to blame you for escalating the issue inappropriately, or prompt them to double-down by alienating you or adding punitive punishments. Theres a Polish proverb I find particularly helpful in situations like this, it goes, Not my circus, not my monkeys. Make sure youre not becoming a sideshow for workplace manipulation. And when its time to move on to a new chapter in your career, leave the monkeys behind.Rebecca Marie Jo is a writer, podcaster, and managing editor publishing three B2B magazines in print and digital.

6 Famous Actors Who Started Out as Male Models

6 Famous Actors Who Started Out as Male Models 6 Famous Actors Who Started Out as Male Models Hollywood is filled with gorgeous men. That’s a fact. But have you ever noticed that some are good looking? So good looking that you wonder why they’re wasting their talents on the big screen when they could be starring in a Gucci campaign?Well, chances are they already have. Maybe not Gucci, per se, but many big-time stars got their start as male models. Some shot to fame as Abercrombie Fitch models, some honed their chops in national campaigns, and others walked the runway for major designers. Here’s a look at some of the hottest actors who went from fashion to Hollywood. 01 Ashton Kutcher WireImage / Getty Images It’s hard to imagine Robert Pattinson as anything other than a  Twilight  hottie, but this English actor didn’t always look so masculine. At the age of 12, he had what he described as an androgynous look- a look that made him popular in the modeling world. His big claim to fame (at the time) was modeling underwear for a small Chinese magazine. But thankfully, his looks grew up, and his career became “incredibly unsuccessful.” So, he decided to switch over to acting. The world rejoiced. Modeling was not Robert’s forte.

8 Ways You Can Build Self-Discipline in Your Life

8 Ways You Can Build Self-Discipline in Your Life 8 Ways You Can Build Self-Discipline in Your Life We all know, or have heard of, someone with incredible self-discipline. They get up at 5 am, meditate and plan their day, run for 6 miles, and then drink a kale and protein smoothie for breakfast. They do all of this before going to work at their startup, which they hope to take public next month. They never waste time, and their accomplishments are astonishing. Yet, here you sit, surfing the internet, reading online politics, playing candy crush, and eating Ben Jerrys ice cream straight out of the container. Is this the life you really want to live? Or, are you searching for a life in which you will accomplish your goals and dreams, no matter what they are? The key to success in achieving your goals and plans both in your professional and personal life is to become a more self-disciplined person. How can you build the kind of self-discipline that other people  have? Discipline is critical to career success, so are there tricks to help you become more self-disciplined? There are. Here are eight ways to help yourself become more self-disciplined than you are now. 1. Start Small You dont need to wake up as a completely different person. As a cultural event, people tend to make resolutions on New Years Day: They say, this year will be different. Well, you can make this year different, but you dont need to change everything at once. For best results, pick just one thing. Otherwise, you can overwhelm yourself with too many changes to make at once. This defeats your intention of becoming a more self-disciplined person. 2. Identify What You Want to Do Differently Do you even like kale smoothies? Do you want to? While drinking one may seem like the noble, healthy thing to do, its not likely to make you a better person. It may make you an insufferable jerk, though, if you are only doing it for the wrong reasons. If youre focusing on health, pick something that is practical and that will make a real difference in your life, and ideally, that you enjoy. That could be going to the gym, walking up the stairs instead of taking the elevator  or limiting the ice cream you eat. If you want to make your career different and more successful, ask what would make a difference. Take a look at the performance of people who have the job you want. What do they do differently than you? Do they arrive early? Dress up, even though the dress code is casual? Do they respond to all emails within an hour? Figure out the characteristics that you are missing, pick an important one and build on that. 3. Remember You Are an Adult Adults dont sit around and wait until someone tells them what to do; they just do it. That may mean giving up some of your downtimes at work, but disciplined people are the ones who succeed, and disciplined means that you keep going even when youd rather not. Again, you can start small. If you normally sit at your desk and play on your phone until your manager comes by and gives you a new task, set your phone time for 5 minutes. Then, when the alarm goes off, go find your manager and ask for something new to do.   Better? Work with your manager to establish such clarity about your goals and the expectations about your contributions in your job that you never have to ask your manager what to do. You just move on to the next task. (Perhaps you may never play on your phone at all. Its conceivable.) 4. Make a List Part of self-discipline is knowing what you need to do and then doing it. When youre not used to behaving in a disciplined manner, you will sometimes struggle to come up with your next activity.  Start your day with a list of tasks that you need to accomplish. You can make the tasks work-related or plan part of your day for personal items. Everything from emails to laundry to stop at the grocery store can go on the list. Checking the items off the list can help you towards developing self-discipline. 5. Make Choices in Advance If your goal is to pay attention in meetings, choose to leave your phone at your desk. Dont even put it in your pocket. You cant play with it if its not there. If you want to become more self-disciplined about food, ask the waitress to box up half your meal before she puts it in front of you or choose to always eat just half of the sandwich. If you want to get on top of your emails, decide how many emails youll respond to before doing something else, whether it is 5, 10, or all of them. Just decide before the situation presents itself and youll find it a lot easier to remain steadfast in the face of temptation. 6. Make Use of Technology Technology makes people flighty- they can always check Facebook or Twitter or Instagram, not to mention playing games and texting friends. But there are also technological tools that can help you build self-discipline. Additionally, you can set timers that limit the amount of time you spend playing a game, or on your favorite time-wasting website. You can use one that tracks your time to give you an idea of how you spend it and then work from there to lower the number of hours you spend being unproductive. If your goal is a fit lifestyle with a healthy weight, regular exercise, serious walking, and a restful sleep each night, trackers exist to help you. Fitbit, for example, helps you track all of this. While you need to record some of the data, Fitbit connects with other devices to automatically capture, as one example of its capabilities, your weight from a synchronized scale. 7. Recognize Your Limited Temptation Capabilities If a self-disciplined life was easy, everyone would practice self-discipline. But, its not. However, did you know that every temptation you avoid improves your ability to avoid the next temptation? So, for example, when you make decisions in advance, you reduce your temptations. This also holds true for decisions in your personal life. If you want to stay sober and professional at the office holiday party, decide in advance that you will strictly limit your intake of alcohol. If you want to eat healthily, go grocery shopping when youre full and dont buy bags of candy. Figure out a way to make the things you struggle with less available. This will lower the number of times you are tempted to do something that hurts your self-discipline. This will also save your strength for unexpected temptations. For instance, if snacking on salty carbs is a disaster for your diet, don’t buy the potato chips. If you know that you will have a difficult time talking with your boss about a particular topic without rolling your eyes and saying something inappropriate back, plan what you’re going to say in advance.  Then, schedule the discussion for the beginning of the day when you have the most stamina against temptation. 8. Remember That Failure Is Always Part of Succeeding Many people want to become self-disciplined and then they make a mistake in their hoped-for routine on day two and give up. You will not make yourself perfectly disciplined overnight, so expect some failure to happen along the way. But, if you plan for it, and understand that you will fail from time to time. one mistake wont derail your whole plan on your way to success. At the same time, when you experience success, you need to celebrate. You accomplished all of the five goals that you had set for yourself this week. Reward yourself and celebrate in a way that wont undermine your success. Say that your goal is to gain new clients for your business. A bad reward would be to take three days off from prospecting. A good reward might entail lunch at a fancy restaurant with a friend. Building self-discipline can help in all areas of your life. If youre ready to get started, pick one area and get going. Dont worry about perfection in all areas at once, and dont worry about failure, just worry about becoming better today than you were last week. Gradually, youll become disciplined in that one area and then you can move on to the next.

If you talk about food you may be a psychopath

If you talk about food you may be a psychopath If you talk about food you may be a psychopath On this site, we have written a lot about the language mannerisms of psychopaths (both verbal and physical) but if you are wondering what subjects psychopaths like to ruminate on now there is some data on that but you may not like it. There is a good chance psychopath’s favorite subject is yours too.close dialogAdvertisementclose dialog/* effects for .bx-campaign-1012257 *//* custom css .bx-campaign-1012257 */.bx-custom.bx-campaign-1012257.bx-type-agilityzone .bx-close { z-index: 2;}@-ms-keyframes bx-anim-1012257-spin { from { -ms-transform: rotate(0deg); } to { -ms-transform: rotate(360deg); } } @-moz-keyframes bx-anim-1012257-spin { from { -moz-transform: rotate(0deg); } to { -moz-transform: rotate(360deg); } } @-webkit-keyframes bx-anim-1012257-spin { from { -webkit-transform: rotate(0deg); } to { -webkit-transform: rotate(360deg); } } @keyframes b x-anim-1012257-spin { from { transform: rotate(0deg); } to { transform: rotate(360deg); } } #bx-close-inside-1012257 { top: 0; right: 0; }/* rendered styles .bx-campaign-1012257 */.bxc.bx-campaign-1012257.bx-active-step-1 .bx-creative *:first-child {padding: 0;width: auto;}.bxc.bx-campaign-1012257.bx-active-step-1 .bx-creative {background-color: transparent;}.bxc.bx-campaign-1012257.bx-active-step-1 .bx-close {stroke: white;background-color: black;border-style: solid;border-color: white;border-width: 1px;box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px 3px black;}.bxc.bx-campaign-1012257 .bx-group-1012257-3RBnJGC {position: absolute;top: 50%;left: 50%;transform: translate(-50%, -50%);z-index: -1;}.bxc.bx-campaign-1012257 .bx-element-1012257-wryzWV5 {width: 55px;}.bxc.bx-campaign-1012257 .bx-element-1012257-wryzWV5 *:first-child {animation-name: bx-anim-1012257-spin;animation-duration: 800ms;animation-iteration-count: infinite;animation-timing-function: linear ;}.bxc.bx-campaign-1012257 .bx-group-1012257-lyDBLV9 {width: 900px;height: 550px;}.bxc.bx-campaign-1012257 .bx-group-1012257-me4p1bl {padding: 10px;}.bxc.bx-campaign-1012257 .bx-element-1012257-ZdLO37u {width: auto;}.bxc.bx-campaign-1012257 .bx-element-1012257-ZdLO37u *:first-child {padding: 2px 4px;font-size: 10px;color: rgb(255, 255, 255);text-transform: uppercase;background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.34);}A study led by Cornell’s Jeff Hancock that interviewed 52 convicted murderers about the crimes they committed included 14 diagnosed psychopaths (the other 38 were not.)   In addition to the psychopaths trying to defend the crimes they committed they also talked a lot about the following subjects: food, sex and money.Follow Ladders on Flipboard!Follow Ladders’ magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and more!The convicted psychopaths went into great detail on the food they ate the day they committed t heir murder. The researchers found that psychopaths tend to use twice as many words when they are talking about what they eat and drink. They go into great detailed description on that really great cobb salad they had, but when it comes to talking about the horrible crime they committed, they are at a loss for words. Other things they don’t like to talk about? Family, religion and spirituality.Now before you go thinking about the last time you talked about food or thought about food (probably like 10 seconds ago and all day everyday) do keep in mind that this was only for people who were diagnosed as psychopaths and convicted murderers. If not, we’d be in quite a bit of trouble as more than half of Americans (53%) consider themselves to be foodies, according to a study that used 2,000 people.The reasoning behind psychopaths going into great detail on the food they ate the day they killed someone or the money that was involved is, according to the researchers, because they look a t the world to be full of things that are theirs for the taking. “This pattern suggested that psychopaths were more likely to view the crime as the logical outcome of a plan (something that ‘had’ to be done to achieve a goal),” they wrote in the report.The study also found that psychopaths tend to say “because” a lot as it is a subordinating conjunction that allows them to explain cause and effect.They also will throw in a bunch of “umms” and “uhhs” in an attempt to sound more human.   They have trouble putting emotion into their speech so this a means of adding a little bit more naturalness.Then again there are certain mundane days when all you remember is that you had a really great sandwich but as long as their isn’t a murder on the side you should be good.

Bouncing Back After a Job Rejection

Bouncing Back After a Job Rejection Bouncing Back After a Job Rejection After weeks of searching for job openings, sending your resume to multiple companies, and facing the uncertainty of the job market - you finally get asked to interview for what could be your dream job. “This could be THE ONE”, you say to yourself. You arrive on time, dressed smartly, with resume in hand ready to impress the hiring manager. Once the interview is over, you pat yourself on the back to reassure yourself that it went well. Then, as the endless hours and days go by, dread starts to set in until one day you receive the bad news that you didnt get the job. “We regret to inform you that you didnt get the job.” The words sting as you read the rejection email, you hit delete and begin another round of self-pity and frustration. Maybe a hot fudge sundae or a few drinks with friends will make you feel better? Or maybe their well-intended questions about how the job search is going is apt to make you feel more rejected and worthless? How can you get over a job rejection like this and get back on track with your job search?   Recently Jobscan polled our members about their experience with job rejection and what they learned from this. Ok so, get back out there, immediately! The longer you hang your head in shame, the harder it will be to return to making your career goals a reality. Thats what Eugean Francisco said about his experience of being rejected for a teaching job he spent months pursuing. After completing a 90-day training program, passing a state and FBI background check, and scoring well on two professional exams - he was sure he could get any teaching job he wanted. However, once he started interviewing with the handful of schools in his state that had available positions in his area of expertise (Art), he quickly found out this was not the case. Janet said, “Accept that its a numbers game.   Its easier not to take the results personal, and realize its just a matter of going on enough interviews.   Im told it takes approximately 6 interviews.” When one private school offered him a teaching job, he was overjoyed. But then, just days before he was to start work, he received a phone call from the dean of the school who said enrollment was low so they had to withdraw the offer of employment. This sent Francisco into a tailspin of depression that lasted much of that summer. He says, “instead of allowing the rejection to take me down to that level, I should have just let things go and focus on finding the next opportunity. Instead, I internalized things and this set my career back by months.” Find some support   A job search is never something you want to do on your own. Not having a job is considered to be one of the more difficult experiences in life. According to Psychology Today, periods of unemployment can take their toll on a person and can cause physical as well as mental turmoil. It’s common to experience low self-worth, feelings of failure, and hopelessness. This can be especially true for men who are conditioned by society to be the primary breadwinners. Joe said, “If you apply to a job online, your chances of being selected for an interview are much lower than if you ask a friend or former colleague at the company to ask someone in HR to look at your application.” It’s critical to seek support from a network of friends, family, and other job seekers to help maintain clarity and well-being during a job search and any subsequent rejections that may occur. Join a career network and start gaining more insight about companies you apply to. Finding a good career coach can help increase confidence levels. Even working with a resume writer or job placement service can help restore previous feelings of hopefulness. Alex told us, “Dont get discouraged if you get denied for a position. Take time for yourself, be around friends and family, and get proper sleep/exercise!” Use this as a learning opportunity   Sure you didnt get the job this time, but that is not to say that there is a valuable lesson to be learned through this experience. Consider the information that is on your resume and cover letter: are they representing your complete value proposition? Is the resume format outdated? Did you leave something out when speaking with the recruiter? Do what 99% of job seekers dont do and reach out to the person who interviewed you to gather some feedback. Send a professional email message or handwritten note to thank the hiring manager for taking the time to consider you for the position and ask him or her to keep you in mind for future career openings. Tess, a staffing manager with Adecco International shared how when one candidate took the time to send a professional thank you card, even after getting turned down for a job he wanted, she saved on her bulletin board for a few weeks. Later, this simple gesture impressed her so much that it reminded her to call the candidate back for a more suitable job that came in. She was also able to offer critical feedback so that the candidate succeeded in landing the job. Maria advised, “When I didnt have any job offer after a long time I started remembering past small victories related to work! That gave me confidence and strength to continue.” Lastly, and most critical - take heart that people get rejected often for jobs they want. It’s just a matter of chance sometimes, and there are only so many jobs to go around for good people. Never internalize this rejection or think that you are not good enough. Just keep moving forward and become even more determined to find the job that’s meant for you. Wilson said, “Be disciplined and dont stop believing that you can find a job you really want and love.” Tess C.

Your letter should avoid making the wrong impression about your candidacy.  Furthermore,it shouldn’t provide useless information that makes it more difficult for the recruiter to focus on your most compelling qualifications.  Here are 15 things not to include in your cover letter. 1. Any Spelling or Grammar ErrorsYour cover letter is viewed as a sample of your ability as a writer and evidence of your attention to detail. Even a minor typo or error can knock you out of contention for the job.  Review these proofreading tips  to make sure your letters are perfect. Even better, if you can get someone else to review it for you  then do that too. It can be hard to catch our own mistakes. 2. The Wrong Company Name or the Wrong Name of the Contact PersonDouble-check to be sure that youve addressed your cover letter to the correct person at the right organization. If you get it wrong, it is a tip-off that you are mass producing your documents and may lack attention to detail. Nobody likes it when they are called by the wrong name  and thats especially true when youre reading letters from someone who wants you to hire them. 3. Anything That Isnt TrueFacts can be checked and lies are grounds for rescinding offers and dismissing employees.  I’ve heard from job seekers who were in a panic because they stretched the truth or outright  lied in their cover letter or resume  and didn’t know how to rectify it. You don’t want to be one of those people. Make sure your cover letter accurately reflects your qualifications for the job. Dont embellish your work history or qualifications. Employers can and do check with references and previous employers. 4. Paragraphs That Are Too LongEmployers will skip over your cover letter and move right to your resume if it is too difficult to read. Each paragraph of your letter should include 5 - 6 lines of text with no more than three sentences in each.  Include plenty of white space at the top and bottom of your letter and in between paragraph. Here’s  how long a cover letter should be. 5. Your Salary Requirements or ExpectationsDont include salary requirements or expectations unless directed to do so by the employer. It’s important to demonstrate to the employer your interest in the job itself and not make it seem like money is your primary motivation. It’s always wise to let the employer mention salary first, if possible. Here’s  when and how to mention salary  to a prospective employer. 6. Negative Comments About a Current or Past EmployerAvoid including any negative comments about your current or previous employer as part of why you are looking for work. Employers tend to view such comments as an indication of possible attitude or performance problems. Keep your letter positive and focused on why youre the right person for the job. 7. Information Not Related to the JobDon’t include any text that is not directly related to your assets for the position or why it appeals to you. Empty language can distract the employer from your core messages.  Its better to write a short letter than one filled with irrelevant information. 8. Personal InformationThe employer doesnt need to know you want this job because of personal reasons. Keep your focus on the professional reasons youd love to be hired, and keep the personal ones to yourself. Your goal is to sell yourself to the hiring manager as a quality candidate, not to get someone to consider you because you would really love the employee discount or the hours, for example. 9. Any Portrayal of the Position as a Stepping StoneMost employers will be looking primarily for someone who is motivated to do the job that they are advertising for a reasonable length of time. Mentioning future advancement can lead them to believe you would not be satisfied doing that job for long. The exception, of course, would be  if the employer has referenced the issue. 10. What You WantDon’t mention what you want to get out of the job or the company. The precious space in your cover letter should focus on what you have to offer the employer. Here’s what to include in the  body section of your cover letter. 11. What You Dont WantDont mention anything you dont like about the job, the schedule, the salary or anything else. Save your thoughts for when youre offered a job and in a position to negotiate. There are many applicants for most jobs, and the ones who get the interviews will be the candidates who dont have a list of requirements. 12. Qualifications You Don’t HaveAddressing what might be missing in your candidacy with statements like Despite my lack of sales experience... is not a good idea. Dont draw attention to your limitations as a candidate. Keep the focus on your credentials and how they will enable you to get the job done. 13. Explanations for Leaving Past Jobs Which Sound Like ExcusesAny excuses may needlessly direct attention to less-positive chapters in your work history. Pointing out that you were recruited for a better job is fine, but theres no need to mention that you were fired or had difficulties in previous positions. 14. Excessive Modesty or Overly Flattering LanguageYou need to convey positives in your letter but do so in a matter-of-fact way.  Speak about accomplishments and results but avoid using adjectives to describe yourself that  maysuggest  you are arrogant or conceited. 15. An Overwhelming Amount of Interest in the JobExcessive interest can hint of desperation or undercut your leverage for salary negotiation. You’re pitching your candidacy, not begging for an interview. Showing desperation is a surefire way to turn off the hiring manager. What to Include in a Cover Letter Keep in mind that your cover letter has one goal: to get you a job interview. Take time to  match your qualifications  carefully to the job requirements  and to  write a personalized cover letter  that shows the hiring manager, at a glance, why youre a terrific candidate.

Tiger Online for Vets

Tiger Online for Vets Tiger Online for Vets Tiger Online for Vets Sign Up for Tiger Online,a Free Career Management Course for Veterans By Kathryn Troutman President, The Resume Place, Inc. and Ten Steps to a Federal Job Certification Program Director April 16, 2018 In my experience, veterans can never get enough help in making the adjustment from the regimentation of military life to the sometimes daunting freedom of life as a civilian American. I remember how hard it was to transition back to the civilian work world, says Mike Callahan, an Air Force veteran, former corporate executive, and current director of the Internship Career Management Center in the College of Business at The University of Michigan Dearborn. Youre leaving the very structured world of the military to enter a very unstructured professional world. I had to reprogram myself. Having launched his own successful careers in the private and public private sectors, Callahan wanted to give back. We need to do what we can to help the veteran community, which is underserved, he says. These were the motivations for Callahan to write his book Tiger in the Office and for his new project, an online course exclusively for veterans called Tiger in the Office: How to Capitalize on Opportunity and Launch Your Career. Callahan summarizes the Tiger approach this way: Know yourself, have strategies to get through the rough spots, learn how to network and make connections. Know the value that you bring. Heres what the courses five online class meetings will cover: The first session will explore why veterans need to think like a tiger in the 21st Century economy, whether they seek civil-service opportunities or a career in the private sector. Next, the class will delve into how veterans whether they separated last month or 30 years ago â€" can assess their career environment and adjust to it, while projecting self-confidence in all their professional contacts. How anyone can develop his or her own career brand, bring it to the job marketplace, and seek out opportunities that can transform ones career from a grind to an exciting and fulfilling adventure. How to use the written word, social media and networking to communicate a professional value proposition to hiring managers in any industry or government agency. How to build a personal career acceleration plan to fulfill your professional aspirations sooner rather than later. The course will follow a reading and discussion format. We want people to read the assigned part of the book, reflect and prepare for the weekly video conference, says Callahan. I set it up as a webinar with a PowerPoint. But I dont want to just be talking for the hour, so well open it up for discussion. The course will run on the Canvas online education platform, accessible from any computer. The Tiger Online course begins on April 30, 2018. There will be a live web meeting for five consecutive Thursdays from 8 to 9 pm EST. To learn more about Tiger Online or to register for this free course, veterans should write to Mike Callahan at mcalla@umich.edu. Advance registration is required the sooner the better!

Why We Have Eyelashes

Why We Have Eyelashes Why We Have Eyelashes Why We Have Eyelashes When his daughter was born, fluid dynamicist David Hu was astonished at the length of her eyelashes. The fact that the newborn was otherwise hairless prompted him to question why we have these hairs at the edge of our eyelids to begin with. No one had an answer. So Hu and his colleagues at Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta set out to measure the eyelashes of 22 mammals. What they found was that the length of eyelashes is roughly one-third the width of the mammalian eye. They then devised mockups of the eye by building a wind tunnel that could blow air past a cup of water with eyelashes on its rim. That length of one-third the eyes width reduced evaporation of the cups water by a factor of twoessentially helping keep the eyes moist by reducing the airflow. Shorter lashes failed at properly blocking the air and longer ones actually directed more airflow to the eye. Listen to the latest episode of ASME TechCast: Breakthrough Could Bring New Cancer Treatment Similar circumstancesan incident where his infant son urinated on him during a diaper changeled Hu to discover that all animals weighing more than 3 kg (6.6 pounds) urinate for approximately 21 seconds, no matter their body size. That finding, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences earned him a 2015 Ig Nobel prize, recognizing research that makes people laugh and think. David Hu studies animals to learn how they have evolved to meet physical challenges. Here, he examines how mosquito wings react to dew. Image: Candler Hobbs Get past the chuckle and the implications of the paper are profound: Nature uses gravity in a way to optimize a necessary task without wasting energy, a discovery that could advance water systems like fire hoses, water tanks, and water-filled backpacks. Hu runs a biolocomotion laboratory at the Georgia Tech, where he is an associate professor of mechanical engineering and biology. For him, animals are the key to discovering new, physical ways of dealing with the world. They teach us how to accomplish difficult tasks that many life forms undertake very efficiently, like moving around, eating, drinking, storing and releasing waste, and keeping things clean. We try to identify the few real champions, animals that are really typifying optimal ways to do these processes, Hu said. Join ASME and Leading Industry Experts for Offshore Wind Turbine Webinar series The idea falls in line with the principle popularized in 1929 by physiologist August Krogh. It states that for many tasks there will be one or more animals in nature that could be used as models. Evolutionary history provides a phenomenal and very long-duration testing ground for all kinds of environments and uses for systems, said Sheila Patek, associate professor of biology at Duke University. We see that revealed through the spectacular diversity of systems around us. WALKING ON WATER Hu has been studying the intersection between engineering and natural systems for most of his career. His undergraduate advisor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology was Lakshminarayanan Mahadevan, a mechanical engineer who used math to describe natural processes. It was a time of renewed and growing interest in that field. In class, Hu studied termite mounds and plants, and professors demonstrated mechanical devices that were designed to move like fish. But it wasnt until after working for an oil company and returning to school for graduate studies in the early 2000s that Hu really began to focus on this field. It started as a homework assignment on how water striders walk on water for John W.M. Bush, professor of applied mathematics at MIT and an expert in surface tension. Bush remembers Hu as playful and fun to work with. I also appreciated his resourcefulness and tenacity, Bush said. When I suggested the water strider problem to him, the first thing he did was to go hunting for water striders at a nearby pond. Read another story on Engineers Inspired by Animals: Using the Eyes of Killer Shrimp to Design A Super Camera Researchers believed that water striders were able to walk on water by making waves that help push them forward. That led to a mystery first identified by Stanford biologist Mark Denny: Young water striders couldnt move their legs fast enough to create the waves necessary to walk on water. But they could, so how did they do it? Bush, Hu, and mechanical engineering graduate student Brian Chan studied water striders in the lab using high-speed photography coupled with flow-visualization technology. They saw that water strider legs never actually break the water surface. Instead, they row across it. Once we had them [water striders] in the lab, we were able to quickly validate our view that they were shedding vortices with each leg stroke, thereby resolving a paradox in the biolocomotion literature, Bush said. Chan, with the help of Bush and Hu, then designed a robotic water strider, Robostrider, to mimic what they learned. I believe that it was the first non-buoyant water-walking device, Bush said. It has certainly spawned an entire generation of more sophisticated devices developed by engineers along the same lines, the utility of which remains to be seen. The three detailed the findings in a paper for Nature, and Hu turned it into his doctoral thesis. At Georgia Tech, Hu is mostly focused on biomechanics of animal locomotion. A lot of his work is centered on everyday wonders that many might not stop to consider. Researchers use it to aid them in developing robots and other useful devices. Hu has tried to popularize some of these findings in his book, How to Walk on Water and Climb up Walls: Animal Movements and the Robotics of the Future. Read about David Hus Disciple: How Elephants Use Their Tails to Chase Away Mosquitoes But the down-to-earth focus of his research has drawn not just gentle ribbing, like the Ig Noble Prize, but outright scorn. Former United States Senator Jeff Flake, for instance, included three of his projects as part of a top 20 list of wasteful federally funded science undertakings. Many scientists are likely to take issue with such criticism. There is also a long history of extraordinary discoveries from everyday phenomena and our surrounding biological world, Patek said. We wouldnt be flying around in airplanes without that kind of initial fascination and inspiration. Ive found that folks who make that argument often just arent aware of the necessary and integral interplay of basic and applied research. CATALOGUE OF WONDERS Hu responded directly to Flake via an Emory University TEDx talk. But his work and its forthcoming applications are perhaps the best response to this type of criticism. Cats tongues are covered with bristles. Hus team used this insight to create a special hairbrush. Image: Georgia Tech For instance, Hu, researcher Alexis Noel, and their colleagues recently looked at the structure of cat tongues, which are known for being sandpapery rough. The research team discovered grooves in the millimeter-tall spikes on the top of the tongues that enable them to pick up saliva. As a cat grooms, the saliva is spread through the fur to the skin, essentially washing both. People have looked at cat tongues before and no one observed they have this particular shape, Hu said. He credits the use of 3D scanners and printers to spot the structures and verify their purpose. Hu and his colleagues are now working on a patent for a cat-inspired hairbrush that would help pet-owners with allergies for whom there are currently few solutions. This hairbrush, designed based on a cats tongue, can remove some of the allergens on cat fur, Hu said. Theres no way we couldve designed that unless we looked at animals. Readers Choice: Insect Drone with Camera Flies Like a Bee A large personal care company has already expressed interest in the product. Another research project involved studying the feeding habits of maggots in containers. A startup founded by Georgia Tech students raises black soldier fly larvae, Hermetia illucens, to quickly consume food waste. The hope is that the larvae could consume some of the 1.3 billion tons of food waste produced worldwide each year, and that the well-fed larvae could then become high-protein feed for fish, chicken, and other livestock. Its a really novel way to deal with the waste problem, Hu said. The problem is figuring out the optimal way to get the wasted food to the larvae. The larvae eat in five-minute bursts, and while they are feeding other hungry maggots are pushing to get a bite, much the way pigs jostle at the trough. Just drop food in a bin of larvae and some will be well-fed while others will struggle. By observing their behavior and creating models that simulate the larvae eating habits, Hu hopes to better understand how to feed and mix them, turning maggot farm operation into a conveyor belt of insects so there wont be any blockages, or traffic jams. Read about Engineers Solving World Hunger with 3D-Printed Food His team is also studying the star-nosed mole, an almost completely blind mammal that has evolved a way to hunt underwater by sense of smell. The mole will breathe out a bubblea bit like a four-year-old with a coldand then inhale it back before it pinches off and floats away. The bubble captures chemical traces of the surrounding water and alerts the mole to any nearby prey. Figuring out how the mole accomplishes this task could help technologists develop new types of underwater sensors, which are currently prone to biofilm formation, a surface growth of algae or bacteria that is especially common in ocean water. We believe that this underwater sniffing technique could circumvent the problem entirely, said Alexander Bo Lee, a doctoral student in quantitative biosciences at Georgia Tech who works with Hu. It would employ a gas sensor that never touches the water. Instead, a bubble would sniff in and out to probe the water for chemicals and transfer them to the sensor. Without any contact with the water, bacteria and algae cant form biofilms on the gas sensor. The team suspected that the star shape of the moles nose was a key factor in the stability of created bubbles. They watched videos of the mole and noticed that it also tilts its body side to side when blowing bubbles. So they built and tested devices that look like a moles nose. The experiment involved mimicking the star-shaped geometry by laser-cutting plastic stars, said Lee, who was the first author of a paper on the research that was published in Physical Review Fluids. We then formed a bubble against the stars. We found that the fins of the star prevent the bubble from rising, but the gaps in between the fins play a role in preventing the bubble from sliding off the star when the entire system is tilted. Bubbles rising through the gaps of the star act as counterweights, keeping the bubble centered on the nozzle. Read about Engineers Merging Biology and Electronics: The Bionic Mushroom While that first set of experiments focused on static bubble stability, the team is now looking at the dynamics of oscillating bubbles using an artificial nose olfactory sensor with the star glued to the end. The hope is to learn what happens as the bubble is exhaled and inhaled at different rates and in bursts. One of the big factors in how animals sense their environment through odor is that they dont use continuing motion. When you have dirty gym socks you dont smell continuously, you exhale and inhale, in short bursts, Hu said. The goal of the star-and-nose experiment is to understand the fluid mechanical consequences of having this type of airflow, one that the mole is able to achieve under water. For Hu, the world is one large catalogue of wonders, with inspiration at every corner. All one has to do is look, find an exemplary organism, mimic, and build upon its mechanisms. It is a quintessential human activity to see what other organisms can do and then wonder whether we, as humans, could build something new or achieve some new capability, Patek said. Biological systems have been around for much longer than humans and they reflect a massive database, if you will, of inspiration. Sara Goudarzi is a Brooklyn-based writer.
