What is Success for you in life?

0 comments



Success has various meanings, depending on the point of view of the person trying to achieve it.
The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines it as ‘favorable or desired outcome; also: the attainment of wealth, favor, or eminence’.
Are wealth, respect or fame your measures of success? Is that really all that it comes down to?
Let’s take a look at what some prominent figures consider success to be.
Arianna Huffington—Founder of Huffington Post
Most people think of success as money and power. To live the lives we truly want and deserve, we need to add another dimension. Huffington says this dimension ‘consists of four pillars: well-being, wisdom, wonder and giving’.

 Winston Churchill—Former British Prime Minister

Churchill defined success as ‘going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm’. So we might need to persevere even in tough times to reach the light at the end of the tunnel.

Sir Richard Branson—businessman/entrepreneur

Branson says that ‘too many people measure how successful they are by how much money they make or the people they associate with’. He suggests true success should be measured by how happy you are.

 Leila Hoteit—partner and manager at BCG

In her TED talk, Leila, an Arab engineer, advocate and mother in Abu Dhabi, summarises her key to success as: having the resilience ‘to convert shit into fuel’, working on your home life with the same energy you work on your career and realising collaborating is more productive than competing.

Success according to these prominent figures can be summed up as:
  • giving (volunteering)
  • persistence (drive through the tough times)
  • happiness (don’t just work yourself to the bone, enjoy life outside of work).
What is success for you, please define in comment box below.

Winning Interviews

0 comments
The on-campus interview lets you meet recruiters with job openings. If you want to make the most of this opportunity, you need a focus, to know of what the employer wants, to prepare the information you wish to share and to execute a winning game plan that sells your successes pertaining to the job opening.

Focus

Perhaps your interviewer has been asked to identify three graduates interested in field test engineering positions that need to be filled. He asks you what type of work you'd like to do after graduation. Clearly, he wants to know if you would enjoy and feel comfortable starting your career as a field test engineer. You reply that you're just seeking an entry-level position. This response suggests a lack of focus and the key issue, where you'd like to start your professional career, has not been addressed.

Always have a focused job objective prior to any interview. It's best if it's closely related to your background and the job opening.

Sharpen your focus by answering the following:


  • What do you like most?
  • What do you do best?
  • What gives you personal satisfaction?

What the Employer Wants

When you understand what the interviewer wants to know about you, you can effectively address the information sought. Interviewers may want to know such things as:


  • What do you want to do?
  • What in your background indicates you're prepared for it?
  • Are you an effective communicator?
  • Are you good at teamwork?

Your objective is to make a good first impression: a firm handshake, good eye contact, confident body language, comfort in answering questions and knowing your career's initial direction. Physical attributes will also influence the interviewer's opinion of you. Nontraditional interview attire, nontraditional hair color, tattoos, body piercings, etc., also contribute to first impressions.

Prepare Information for Your Interview

Knowing what you want to do as you start your career, connecting past successes relating to the job opening and selling them in your interview will impress the interviewer and identify you as the best candidate. Your GPA is important, but providing evidence of skills, experience and capabilities will separate you from the others. Be prepared to prove your:


  • Ability to work in teams and meet commitments.
  • Experience with conflict resolution.
  • Communication and interpersonal skills.
  • Good work ethic.
  • Decision-making skills and ability to set priorities.
  • Integrity.
  • Practical experience.

Be sure to develop a list of past successes relating to these areas. They may include past projects, participation in student organizations, membership in professional societies, leadership examples, teaming activities, work experience (as a co-op or intern), participation in conferences or open houses and any out-of-class experiences that relate to business practice. Organize your successes having to do with your academic background, related experience, technical interests, leadership, career goals, interest in the company and communication.

It's also a good idea to prepare questions that will help you decide if the opportunity is a good fit. Questions related to typical work assignments, the corporate culture, growth potential, team structure, new technologies, new products and travel may help you with the decision process.

Executing Your Winning Game Plan

Now that you're focused, know what the interviewer wants and have identified your successes relevant to the job opening, you are ready to execute your game plan and sell those successes. Try using the STAR method to get you on your way:


  • S: Describe the situation pertaining to the topic of discussion or the interviewer's query.
  • T: Explain the technique you used, your approach.
  • A: Emphasize the action you took to solve the situation.
  • R: Close with the result or outcome of the action taken.

10 Habits that Bosses Love

4 comments
Every boss wants employees who do their jobs well. But even among highly competent employees, there are distinctions. Here are 10 tips for making sure you're on the boss's A-list:

1. Communicate, communicate, communicate. Especially at the beginning of your relationship -- that is, when either you or the boss is new to the job -- err on the side of giving your boss too much information and asking too many questions.

"There's no such thing as a dumb question," says Marianne Adoradio, a Silicon Valley recruiter and career counselor. "Look at it as information gathering."

Don't keep up the constant stream of communication unless your boss likes it, though. It's best to ask directly whether you're giving the boss enough information or too much.

2. Acknowledge what the boss says. Bosses appreciate "responsive listening," says John Farner, principal of Russell Employee Management Consulting. When your boss asks you to do something or suggests ways for you to improve your work, let her know you heard.

3. Collaborate. When your boss has a new idea, respond to it in a constructive way instead of throwing up roadblocks.

"Be willing to brainstorm ways to get something done," says Michael Beasley, principal of Career-Crossings and a leadership and career development coach.

4. Build relationships. You'll make your boss look good if you establish a good rapport with your department's customers, whether they're inside the company or outside. Bring back what you learn -- about ways to offer better customer service, for example -- to your boss. This is also helpful for your own career development.

"Everybody wins in the long run," Adoradio says.

5. Understand how you fit in. Is your boss detail-oriented, or someone who keeps his head in the clouds?

"The boss's personality is just incredibly important," says Norm Meshriy, a career counselor and principal of Career Insights.

Equally important is understanding what your boss wants in an employee. It may be, for example, that a boss who is detail-oriented will expect his employees to be as well. But a boss who has no time for details may actually appreciate an employee who does.

6. Learn the boss's pet peeves. If your manager has said repeatedly that she hates being interrupted first thing in the morning, don't run to her office to give her a project update when you first get in.

7. Anticipate the boss's needs. Once you have worked with your boss for a while, you should be able to guess what information he will want before approving your purchase order, for example.

If you provide it ahead of time, "that's a gold star," Farner adds.

8. Think one level up. You still need to do your own job, of course. But when managers consider who deserves a promotion, they look for people who understand the issues that their bosses face.

9. Open yourself to new ways of doing things. When your boss comes to you with a new idea, don't simply dismiss it. If you don't think it will work, offer to discuss it further in "a mature, responsible, adult-like way," Beasley says.

10. Be engaged in your work. Arguing with your boss over every request is not a good strategy, but neither is simply shrugging your shoulders and agreeing with everything your boss says. "The manager would like to see an engaged individual," Beasley says. That means both showing enthusiasm for your work and speaking up when you see room for improvement.

10 Things to Leave Out of Your Resignation Letter

1 comments
Here are 10 things you should not include in your letter of resignation:
  1. I've hated every minute here. You may sincerely want to say this and it might even be true, but that's something you can keep to yourself and your close friends.
  2. You are the worst boss I've ever had. Again, it might be true, but a resignation letter should never become so personal.
  3. Why wasn't I treated more fairly? You're not likely to get an answer to this type of question. In addition, if you claim you weren't treated fairly and you're now leaving, the company may assume that you've hired a lawyer. This isn't the place to raise issues like this.
  4. One day I will make this right. Do not, under any circumstances, include threatening language in your letter. Remember, once something is in writing it might as well be filed under "forever." No one likes to be threatened, especially in writing. And it can have serious legal ramifications for you down the road.
  5. In my next job, I will have very important duties, etc. Your employer doesn't need to know this and probably doesn't care too much either. It's a resignation letter, not an announcement of your future plans. Of course, if your supervisor asks where you're going, you are free to provide that information. But if you're headed to a competitor, you might not want to be specific.
  6. Please let me know if another position becomes available. Why on earth would an employer consider you for another job at the company as you walk out the door? Be smart in your resignation letter.
  7. Here's the problem with this organization. Like the other 101 suggestions you have for improving the company, pointing out areas for improvement at this stage is not only inappropriate, but irrelevant. It's a resignation letter, not your opportunity to lecture.
  8. Mary Smith sabotaged my work. Even if Mary Smith did sabotage your work, naming names in a resignation letter will get you nowhere. It's unprofessional, ill timed, and not the appropriate forum.
  9. I will miss my team more than you can imagine. It's OK to express your feelings, but you must temper those emotions when you put your thoughts on paper.
  10. You are going to miss me. You may not exactly want to put it that way, but it's tempting to want to remind people of your contributions. However, this is not the place to toot your own horn.

How to Quit a job :5 steps and 2 warnings

0 comments
On some level, it’s fun to quit a job. It’s fun to remind people that they don't own you. It’s fun to feel that burst of freedom as you walk out the door. But it’s no fun if you don’t quit right.

Before you quit, you need a semi-plan for what you’ll do next: You will either work or play. Pick one. You cannot pick sitting in front of the TV because it is lame and you will be sorry.

If you pick work, then get another job lined up before you quit, because getting a job while you have a job means that your company paid you to job hunt.

Before you quit you also need to make sure the job is the problem. Maybe you are the problem and you are blaming everything on the job so you don’t have to look at yourself.The Occupational Adventure offers a good way to take a look at your life to see what’s really holding you back. Do an honest assessment. If your job is not holding you back, then deal with what is, while you’re gainfully employed. Self-examination is always easier to do when you can pay your rent.

If you really do think quitting is the right decision, here’s how to tell your boss:

1. Be kind, even if you hate your boss, because your boss is not your boss anymore. She is part of your network. And some people who are jerks to work for are actually nice and fun outside of work. You don’t know until you try. So hedge your bets and be gracious on the way out, even if you don’t feel that way.

2. Make sure your boss knows that this is a good move for you. Even if you’re not sure if it’s a good move, tell your boss that it is. We all need to believe in ourselves, or else who will?

3. Put it in writing. Why are there 6000 exaples of resignation letters on the Internet? You are noy Wiston Churchill. You can write one sentence: “I’m leaving this company on [date].” If you want to tell your boss how much you hate her, see rule number one. If you want to nail your boss for illegal behavior, see a lawyer. Don’t tell the company how to fix itself. You are leaving. If they care about your input so much they can pay you as a consultant. Which they will not, because they do not care.

4. If you want a counter-offer, give your boss enough notice to come up with one before you leave. A counter-offer is much less likely to come after you’re gone.

5. Show gratitude for what your boss has done for you. A personal thank you note is a good way to leave because your boss can reread it all the time and remember only the good things about you. This will help when you call your boss for a favor – like when you need a reference.

Also, people who express gratitude are happier than those who don’t. One of the researchs say, “People who regularly practice grateful thinking reap emotional, physical and interpersonal benefits.” So find something nice to say about your boss and you’ll feel great as you walk out the door.

  4. Not just list jobs and responsibilities, but what they have accomplished, learned, and contributed to their last companies.

10 Ways To Get Your Résumé Ignored

1 comments
Writing a résumé isn't exactly a speedy process. First there's the brainstorming. Then, you have to write -- and rewrite, and rewrite -- your educational and work histories until your résumé perfectly boasts your background. Plus, there's all that proofreading.


Even though your résumé took you hours to write, hiring managers will typically spend less than one minute reviewing it. If your résumé has any glaring errors, however, employers will waste no time deleting it. To ensure your résumé gets proper attention, avoid these 10 all-too-common blunders:


1. Not bothering with a cover letter. Cover letters are so important to the application process that many hiring managers automatically reject résumés that arrive without them. Make the most of your cover letter by expanding on a few of your qualifications, explaining any gaps in employment or providing other information that will entice the employer to read your résumé.


2. Giving your résumé format a little "flair." Unusual fonts or fluorescent pink paper will certainly make your résumé stand out -- in a bad way. Keep your résumé looking professional by sticking with standard white or cream-colored paper, black type and a common font like Arial or Times New Roman.


3. Going long. Your high school job scooping ice cream probably isn't relevant to your career anymore, so there is no reason to include it on your résumé. Your résumé should be no more than two pages -- and no more than a page for most professionals -- so only include your most recent and relevant work history.


4. Focusing on duties, not accomplishments. Instead of writing a list of job duties on your résumé, demonstrate how each duty contributed to your company's bottom line. For example, anyone can plan the company fund-raiser, but if you note that your fund-raiser brought in 50 percent more money than the previous year's event, the hiring manager will be more impressed.


5. Having a selfish objective.
Employers are trying to determine whether you're a good fit for their organizations, so everything on your résumé should point to your experience. A summary of qualifications that conveniently displays your accomplishment and background is far more effective than a generic objective statement ("To gain experience in...").


6. Being too generic. Always customize your résumé and cover letter for each job and employer to which you apply. This way, you can tailor your materials to show how you will be a perfect fit for the position.


7. Guesstimating your dates and titles. With the proliferation of background checks, any "upgrades" you give your titles or stretching of employment dates to cover gaps will likely get caught -- and you will be eliminated from consideration.


8. Tell everyone why you left. Never put anything negative on your résumé. If you left the position due to a layoff or you were fired, bring it up only if asked.


9. Include lots of personal information. It's fine if you enjoy fly fishing on Sunday afternoons, but unless your hobby relates to your career, it doesn't belong on your résumé. The same goes for your height, weight, religious affiliation, sexual orientation or any other facts that could potentially be used against you.


10. Assume spell-check is good enough. Spell-checkers can pick up many typos -- but they won't catch everything (manger vs. manager, for example). Always proofread your résumé several times, and ask a friend to give it a final once-over.

5 E-Mail Etiquette Mistakes to Avoid

1 comments

E-mail etiquette is such a popular topic these days, there’s been entire books written on the subject. Sure, most of us know that writing in ALL CAPS is the equivalent of SHOUTING over e-mail. And yes, some people still do it. If you’re one of them, please stop. I’m begging you. But there are so many things people do wrong over email. Most of us think we’re pretty good at getting our “tone” across in writing. The fact of the matter is, it’s a lot more difficult than we think. Because of that, e-mail communication can actually cause a lot of misunderstanding, confusion, and frustration. In real terms, that can mean lost dollars and angry clients in the business world. Below are 5 mistakes I’ve personally made. I hope that, by bringing these to light, I can help prevent some of you from making the same mistakes. And, as always, I ask you to add on your personal e-mail etiquette mistakes in the comments section. Go ahead - share and unburden yourself!



1. Taking an overly familiar and too casual tone.



Example: Hi Mark, I wanted to schedule a meeting for you with James next week. How does Thursday look for you? Let me know when you can. Thanks! Take Care, Chrissy.



Ok, that’s fine if you’re friends with Mark. If you’re not and Mark is a client or business associate, this is way to informal and it just makes you look very unprofessional. Try sprucing it up a bit, especially if you are initiating the e-mail conversation. Once you see how they respond, you can mirror their style.



Example: Dear Mr. Smith, I’d like to schedule a meeting for you with James Edwards in the near future. He has some time available on Thursday. Please let me know if this would work for you and, if so, what time you would like to meet. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you for your time. Most Sincerely, Christine Scivicque.


Reply: Hi Christine, Thursday is fine. Please put me down for 2:00. Thanks! Mark


Reply: Hi Mark, Thanks for the quick reply! Thursday at 2:00 is perfect. We’ll see you then. Chrissy



2. CC’ ing too many people (or the same person too many times).



Only CC the people who really need to know what the email is about. You don’t want to flood your boss’s inbox with things he’s not really concerned about. When I first started, I wanted to show my boss that I was doing what he asked me to do so I always sent him a copy of my emails. Then, the responder always hit “reply all” and before he knew it, he was getting multiple emails that had no action required for him. Eventually, he was totally annoyed with seeing all my correspondence and I had to stop. I only do it now for critical things that he may need to know I’ve corresponded on or things he has to take action on.



3. Trusting the computer SPAM filter.



My computer, like most, throws random email into the junk file at its own discretion. I’ve found important messages in there months after they were sent. It’s like the Bermuda Triangle for email. I check it every day now without fail. There is just too much chance for huge problems to ensue. If you have a SPAM filter, which I think we all do at this point, sometimes the computer is just not smart enough to know what’s junk and what’s not. Double check it. There’s no harm to it.



4. Sending Email Instead of Talking.



Be careful not to fall into the trap of sending email instead of having a real face to face conversation. Building strong social networks at work is important and it just can’t be done over email. As my boss says, “Wear out the carpet!”. That means, don’t be shy about going to visit people’s offices with your questions. Talking face to face gets the point across much easier and much faster most of the time. Send it in email if you need a paper record of the conversation. Otherwise, talk and get to know your co-workers. It makes work more fun and it improves communication immensely. Likewise, if you find yourself writing a page long email to a client, stop and pick up the phone instead.




5. Sending the right email to the wrong person (and vice versa).



Watch out for that “auto-fill” feature that fills in the address of the person the computer thinks you’re sending a message to. Computers are dumb. Don’t forget that. But if you don’t double check the computer, you’re dumb too.
