To Tell the Truth Resume Rules

To Tell the Truth Resume RulesTo Tell the Truth Resume RulesRecruiters and resume experts draw a firm line between putting your best foot forward and lying on your resume.The woman was mousy and small - just 5 feet tall and 105 pounds. She wanted to be hired full time at the Ohio-based manufacturing facility where she was temping, and asked what she had to do to make that happen.Well, you have to fill out an application and go through an interview, and then well do a background check, the vice president of menschenwrdig resources, Matthew Rosen, told her.Ill have a tough time with the background check, said the woman.That was an understatement. The background check revealed a criminal record and hard time in a penitentiary. When Rosen asked the woman about it, she said her husband had beaten her, repeatedly. So she shot him - a crime for which she spent seven years behind bars.Rosens jaw hit the floor. And yet, Rosen recommended hiring her.It turned out beautifully, Rosen said. The woman is still working at the plant today. Shes one of the organizations best workers, grateful just to have been given a chance.Its an extreme case. Many people have issues theyd rather sweep under the carpet than reveal on a resume - from work-history gemeinsame agrarpolitiks to degrees not received to an age thats either too ripe or too raw to admit. But all resume issues have one thing in common Getting caught in a lie about them can obliterate your chances of getting hired.Its going to be discovered. If it gets discovered, or when, there will be no chance youll get that job, said Rosen, who is now human resources director for Schiller International University in Largo, Fla. You have a better chance explaining it - much better. If they run a background check, then it will get discovered, and then youve lied to these people. Wholl hire someone whos lied to them? Im going to hire someone who did something and went to a penitentiary. Ill never hire someone whos lied to me.But wh ile its easy to preach truthfulness, resumes are marketing documents that present candidates in the best light. It begs the question What can you successfully gloss over, and how do you do it without turning yourself into a liar? When is it OK to polish, and when does an embellishment become a forgery?In this package, Ladders draws the line. Certified professional resume writers, job seekers, corporate recruiters and career coaches speak out to delineate the difference between an appropriate omission and a deliberate disguise. They break down the resume into sections and define what shows what and how you can tweak your resume to make it shine and still stay within the bounds of honesty. The result is a clear topography of this slippery slope for all those job seekers whove found themselves questioning the distinction between exaggeration and fabrication.Employment and education dates Bottom line It is acceptable to omit graduation dates, but it can lead recruiters to think you are trying to mask your age.Every position must include the year, but not the month..Its a bad idea to fudge dates, given how easy it is to check dates of employment and graduation.But with age discrimination at both ends of the experience spectrum, theres sound justification for strategically dealing with dates - in particular, dates of college graduation. For some jobs, like those of top executives, employers wont hire (somebody) in his early 30s, said Steve Burdan, a certified professional resume writer who works with Ladders. Theyre looking for (an applicant) in his 40s or early 50s.Similarly, applicants in their 50s can face prejudice concerning older workers and their presumed inflexibility regarding salary, learning new technology or being managed by a younger person.When to date yourselfBurdan himself was once a recruiter and admits that checking on college dates is the first thing hed do when reviewing an application. Id take the hard resume copy and go immediately to the col lege (dates) to figure out how old they are, he said.Now that hes a resume writer, Burdan handles resume dates differently depending on where a job seeker is in her career path. If a job seeker has had only three operations jobs in her career and received a degree in 1988, Burdan will include the college dates to signal how old the subject is. If the subject is in his early 60s or 70s, Burdan excludes college dates completely.The point isnt to lie, Burdan said the point is to throw (employers) off the trail as long as possible. An employer will eventually find out a candidates age. But the longer it takes for that to happen, the less time there is for that employer to rule somebody out due to preconceptions about their age, and the mora time there is for a candidate to get into an interview and to build a relationship with her interviewers.But be forewarned Recruiters know what youre up to when youre cagey with dates, and leaving them off can set off alarms. Dates (are) something ve ry critical to have on your resume, said Jacqueline Hudson, a senior account executive for the Renascent Group LLC, an executive search firm. I totally understand age discrimination, but (if dates arent included) automatically (a recruiter will think), What are they hiding? Are they too junior or are they too senior? Dates of employmentWhile leaving off education dates clearly has its pluses and minuses, leaving off work history dates is never a good idea. Recruiters like to see how long a candidate stayed with an employer and, specifically, how many years of experience they have in a given role. If they list five jobs with no dates, we dont know if they spent 25 years at one job and one with another, Hudson said. (Dates) show consistency and what your (work history) pattern is. Nobody wants to hire somebody who will turn around and work for someone else in less than a year.For those worried about a short tenure at a job, contemporary wisdom dictates eliminating months and including only years for job history dates.Work history Bottom LineIt is acceptable to omit work experience, or limit details, after 10 to 12 years.Dont cover gaps by extending your tenure at previous positions.Fill in gaps with consulting and volunteer positions or list the reasons for the unemployment (e.g. a sabbatical, family leave or maternity leave).If you began your professional career in 1974, are you required to fill several pages with technology jobs, promotions and duties dating back 35 years?No. Convention in the resume industry s include a retirement that was cut short due to a nose-diving 401K plan childbirth or family issues a sabbatical or a return to school to pursue a degree.Candidates often write whats known as a functional resume to try to cover up such gaps. In a functional resume, company names and job accomplishments are provided without dates.Dont do it. When looking at a functional resume, hiring professionals cant tell when or where a given accomplishment happened, and it will signal to most hiring managers that a job seeker is trying to hide something.I think thats a big mistake, Van Vreede said. Right off the bat, youre making people worry about you. And if worried enough, theyll leave you out of consideration.Fill in the gapBe forthright by documenting all work-history gaps just as you would a job, said several certified professional resume writers. For example, if you took a sabbatical from 2001 to 2003, include that information on your resume, with sabbatical in all capital and/or bold letters, just as if it were a company name.That way, (the gap is) right up front, addressed and filled in for the hiring manager whos just looking at the dates, Van Vreede said. It gets you through the human resources screen, but you wont be accused of trying to hide anything. And in todays environment, a lot of people have gaps on their resumes.Case in point Schiller International Universitys Rosen reviewed a resume in mid-July that included a gap in empl oyment, but the applicant had been clear that the gap was due to time spent as a stay-at-home mother. Well, thats fine, Rosen said. That was explained. But the other point is, especially these days, losing a job is not a black eye anymore. At one point, if you got laid off, people thought there was something wrong with you. Nowadays if you lose your job, its no big deal.Explain the gapRosen is also understanding of work histories that are somewhat inconsistent, as long as the inconsistencies are explainable. He talked to another job seeker in mid-July who had been at one job for a long time, followed by short tenures at two companies - a potential red flag from a recruiters perspective. The candidate explained that he had moved on from the long-term position to a new one, but left because of a disagreement with a supervisor. He had then moved into a position in the mortgage industry, but lost his job in the early days of the recession. Thats OK, Rosen said. They were at one job for 18, 20 years - thats OK. Thats a reasonable explanation. It really is.Certified professional resume writers Van Vreede and Burdan recommend that job seekers fill in gaps on their resumes resulting from layoffs with any consulting, freelance or contract work completed. Include pro bono or volunteer work, as well.For those who have done nothing since losing a job, putting nothing down can work if there have been only a few months of downtime. If youve done nothing for more than six months, youre getting to the point where people will start to worry. However, unemployment remains common enough in this economy that it should not automatically disqualify a job seeker.Job titles Bottom lineInsert the official title(s) used by your previous employer(s) on your resume.When it comes to job titles, there is no way around the truth. Certified professional resume writers say you must always be honest because titles are easily verified by reference and background checks.By default, you should provide the title referred to by the employer, said Burdan. Companies like the Big Five, theyll have titles like senior auditor. You have to go along with that, he said, even if that title has an unclear meaning out of context. Thats what the industry knows and the company uses. Its awkward, but youve got to use it.It is also easily verified by reference and background checks.Exceptions to the ruleBut there is some wiggle room, said several certified professional resume writers.An example of an acceptable title change would be for an applicant whose past job was as both a schlussverkauf representative and a manager. If that job seeker decides he wants to do only sales and would rather not manage anymore, its permissible to include only the sales experience on his resume, said Mary Schumacher, a certified professional resume writer who works with Ladders.Job seekers who were business owners present a particular problem for Burdan. Too often they include inflated titles, such as pres ident and CEO, he said. He advises against those titles, even if thats what the individuals business card said. Instead, he advises using a title such as principal.The rationale boils down to perception Theres a big difference between being the president of a one-person company and being the president of General Electric, and, in most cases, its wise to dial it back to avoid being seen as exaggerating your role, he said.Burdan also suggests translating or converting titles of candidates who have military or government experience, given that titles such as colonel, major or agent in charge dont have clear meaning within the business community.Education Bottom lineNever claim a degree or certificate you do not possess.Never falsify or round up a GPA.Accu-Screen, a company that specializes in employment background checks, has found during the course of tracking 15 years worth of screens that some 16 percent of academic degrees and institutions listed on resumes are falsified. Job seek ers also falsify 15 percent of technical skills and certifications, Accu-Screen has found.Many job candidates who have gone to college but havent graduated lie by saying that theyve completed a degree. Resume writers also often find such candidates using qualifying language such as only four credits left to get a Bachelor of Science degree.Both tactics are huge mistakes, said Van Vreede. Any reasonable person will look at the candidate and say, Are you stupid? Why didnt you go back and finish your degree? Go back and take correspondence courses online I did it and got a degree. What are you waiting for? he said.More to the point, language tricks send up red flags, giving the impression that a job seeker is trying to be sneaky. A better approach than lying or manipulating language is to say that you attended a program or did coursework at a given institution.Heres another technique that resume writer Burdan uses For those who have college degrees, he labels the appropriate section E ducation. For those who lack degrees, he bundles their education up in a section he labels Professional Training.In a Professional Training section, Burdan will state, for example, that a subject has completed three years of a Bachelor of Science in finance program at the University of Georgia.By labeling it Professional Training, it appears less like an aborted degree and more like continuing education. After all, many people churn through a boatload of seminars and workshops above and beyond their formal education, Burdan noted.I wont hide it, but Ill downplay it, he said. For somebody not to have a college degree is rarer today, and that makes it best to draw attention away from the hole, Burdan said.CertificationsTechnical certifications represent a special case.One field wherein which it is common to find faked certifications is the technology industry. Many IT job candidates will load their resumes with certificate lists or even paste in graphics that only certificate holders have the right to use - such as is the case with the MCSE (Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer) credential - thinking they wont be checked.But faking certifications, professional accreditations, trade memberships or professional licenses is a cardinal sin, said several certified professional resume writers.Its very easy to check with the organizations that award the titles, and the hiring companies often face liability for hiring someone who faked an accreditation.GPAAnother education-related lie to avoid fudging your grade point average. Christine Bolzan, former vice president in charge of Global Emerging Markets hiring for JP Morgan and current CEO of Graduate Career Coaching, said that job seekers often exaggerate GPAs but that even the slightest tweak will raise a red flag. In todays job market, you cant create any type of question about your candidacy, she said.(Employers) want highly ethical individuals, and hiring companies have their pick. You might say you have a 3.8 GPA and it comes back as a 3.78 GPA. That will raise the red flag. The candidate will say, I was just rounding up, but with the job market as competitive as it is now, theres no room for rounding up.Bottom line If you are caught lying it is too hard to keep lies covered, and, once caught, your chances of being hired are all but obliterated. The Internet and background checks make it hard to cover up a lie.Even exaggerations can hurt you in a tough employment market.The bottom line is that there is no stepping over the line that separates advertising yourself and lying on your resume.Your chances of being hired if you are perceived to be a liar are extremely low. And, with the Internet, rest assured There isnt much that can remain hidden for long.

6 career goals to meet by ages 30, 40 and 50

6 career goals to meet by ages 30, 40 and 506 career goals to meet by ages 30, 40 and 50In most companies, every quarter - or at least twice a year - youre tasked with setting goals for yourself. As a way to manage your responsibilities, help you prioritize the most important deliverables and keep you tracking toward something, goals are often used as benchmarks of progress. If you meet em, you might earn a raise, a title change or bargaining power to ask for more vacation or flexibility. If you dont - its time to work on improving your performance.Thats what makes setting personal professional goals are bit trickier - since no one is holding-gesellschaft you accountable, its tough to stay on track and pushing forward. Thats why long-term aspirations are recommended by career experts since you give yourself years - and hey, even a decade - to achieve them. As career coach and author Mary Camuto explains, these targets create focus, momentum, and markers of your success.Goals sh ould be tangible steps towards both your short-term needs/wants and your longer-term vision for your life Time will pass quickly whether or not you have set a direction or career course, she shares.Ladders is now on SmartNewsDownload the SmartNews app and add the Ladders channel to read the latest career news and advice wherever you go.Here, some ideas for each decade of your careerIn your 30sOnce the day of your college graduation has come and gone, youre running full-speed ahead toward that job you paid so much money to be qualified for. Your 20s and 30s are defined by climbing up the ladder, up the ranks, up the SEO search pages, up, up and up. And if youve ever rock-climbed, you know how much strength and endurance it takes to keep pushing. Whats nice though? The semi-comfortable peak you should reach by 40, where youve created a name, a reputation and hopefully, a skill set thatll propel you into the next phase of life and working.Have a killer online - and offline - presenc eAs a generation thats redefining the metrics and requirements of working, challenging employers to think differently and more digitally, who you are online is arguably just as important as who you are face-to-face. Branding and career expert Wendi Weiner, Esq., stresses the importance of having an sharp presence in the interwebs. This pillar will help you reach where you want to be once those 40 birthday candles arrive. Your 30s should be spent building your network and growing your professional stature. Attend events with business cards, have a professionally written LinkedIn profile, and begin to pinpoint where you want to see yourself in 10 years, she encourages. Begin keeping a brag book that you can update every couple of months with key career wins and projects you are leading.Dont forget to take that elbow-rubbing and quick wit offline, too. Camuto says by the time you reach the end of your 30s, you should be in a leadership position within the community or industry youre pa rt of. Build and participate in at least two networking groups related to your career join or lead a committee, volunteer at events. This goal has impact to both your current and future success in that your resources and contacts broaden as well as your professional reputation, she explains.Set yourself up for future successMoney matters are difficult for most people to discuss - and even harder to do something about. Though discussing retirement in your 20s or 30s might feel way too soon, the earlier you begin prioritizing your financial health, the better off youll be when 65 (or 70 or 75 ) comes. You should plan to pay off some debt in your 30s and open a 401K at your company to begin planning for your financial future, she shares. The less you worry about dollars in your banking account, the more time you can spend wowing your manager.In your 40sFor many, your 30s are a time of tremendous growth, whether its finally reaching a c-level title or starting and completing your fami ly. With demands from every corner of your life, most people feel stretched thin, and well, really happy. Even so, its important to keep your career progressing as you inch through your 40s, navigating the process of aging mentally and physically. You never want to lose your competitive edge, considering you still have a good 20 years of work ahead of you.Get an advanced certificationThis doesnt mean you have to go back to school, Weiner clarifies, but it does mean having a candid and open look at your skill sets to seek areas of improvement. You might fall off track as you become further removed from those college days, but a commitment to knowledge will allow you to keep up with recent grads. She suggests finding certifications - like Google Analytics or a coding course - that add another gold star for your resume.Take executive leadership classesTheres a difference between a manager and a leader even if you have ten direct reports, if youre not inspiring them to greatness, your e missing the mark. Not everyone is a natural-born trailblazer, so Weiner encourages 40-something professionals to acknowledge their weakness in this department. Consider enrolling in an executive leadership or executive management program to enhance your leadership value and skill set, and start to get clear on where you will want to be for the next decade, she says.By doing this, you will be more qualified to go for keynote speaking sessions - or at least some sort of panel or conference - that adds more overall value to your brand. As Camuto explains, having a public image that others follow not only impacts your recognition and success at your current organization but also lead you to a new path/new goals.In your 50sAs you reach mid-life, youre probably going through a period of transition. Your children are getting older - as are you - and you could worry the best days of your life are behind you. Or more to the point the most exciting times of your career have passed. Look ing down the eye of retirement can produce a slew of emotions, but before you allow yourself to get carried away, remember there are still many years to shape your performance. Since most wont retire until at least 65, discounting the last decade and some pennies will shortchange your career.Strategize your retirement exitYou cant go over it, cant go around it - you must go through it with a plan in mind. Weiner says strategizing your exit will rest your angst and also put you in the best possible situation once your final working hour closes. So go on, ask yourself where do you want to be - and who do you want to be - when that day arrives? Probably not over-exhausted to your bones, but in a happy place of balance and accomplishment. You might be looking for a big shift in your career and where you want it to take you on the tail end of your final decade of work. By now, you are practicing more work-life balance and also realizing the importance of vacation days and time away t o travel, she says. Sit with your investment advisor and with your family, and determine your timeline so you stay the course- sans fear.Serve as a mentorWorkplace expert and industrial-organizational psychology practitioner Amy Cooper Hakim, Ph.D. says professionals in their 50s will reap rewards (and hey, some karma) from giving back to budding workers. Not only will you be an important figure in their career, but it might ignite a renewed sense of optimism and creativity in yours. One of the biggest gifts you can give to your field and community is to help those who are in need of mentoring. As you teach a mentee the tricks of the trade, you may even be inspired by your mentees enthusiasm and overall interest, she explains.

What to Do When Your Job Is Toxic - The Muse

What to Do When Your Job Is Toxic - The MuseWhat to Do When Your Job Is Toxic Youve probably been planning for this moment since you were 16 years old, plotting your dream life in your high school bedroom. Finally, youre crafting your own career, on your own terms You probably imagined the high-highs praise for a job well done from a supportive anfhrer, substantive assignments, collaborative co-workers and opportunities for adventure But what about the low-lows? I regularly hear from young women that they are stuck in toxic environments Predator bosses, sabotaging co-workers, institutionalized sexism, life-destroying workloads, and unsafe work conditions. So what do you do when this has job has been your dream since you were a teenager? How do you protect yourself when this position or this company is an important first step toward your version of The Big Life?I think a lot about Erin Andrews. She welches honest, vulnerable, and brave in herbeibei lawsuit against the stalker who took peephole video of her when she was on assignment for ESPN and of the hotel that allowed it to happen. She had the ultimate unsafe, toxic workplace. But Im even more impressed with how she has built her career and crafted a personal life in the wake of public humiliation and violation. Its a phenomenal display of strength. The story has slipped from the headlines. But this piece about the unimaginable lengths other female sports reporters have had to take to protect their safety on the job has stayed with me. They do their job, despite obvious threats, because they love it and it matters to them.Erin shined a very bright light on some dark corners of her world so other women wouldnt have to face the same degradation. And should you find yourself in your own soul-sucking version of job hell, these tips can help you protect yourself and keep you moving toward that Big Life. (Note This is not legal advice and if youre in physical danger, please see the police.) But if you need to prote ct your heart and soul from a toxic situation in the present moment, this advice compiled from The Badass Babes- a sisterhood of young women who are going through the struggle together and want to help you succeed- is for you.1. Keep a Paper TrailAfter a year of high-fives in her job as a coordinator at a film festival, Jennifer was promoted into an executive role. She knew it was an amazing opportunity to add management experience to her resume. But quickly she saw some financial sketchiness that made her very uncomfortable. I refused to sign off on certain financial documents. I did my best to clean things up and keep my name clear. But I also saved emails and correspondence to absolve myself from blame down the line.She knew she had to get out, and so as soon as she could land another job, she gave her two-weeks notice. She says The final answer was to take the experience I needed, struggle through what I could reasonably handle and then get out. 2. Ask to Change DepartmentsAfter a year of unpaid gigs at small startups, Haley finally landed a job at a prestigious beauty company. But the environment was not the supportive place to grow that shed been promised in her interviews. She found herself iced out of important meetings and criticized by co-workers in front of her boss. The shocking thing is how senior women dont support the younger women starting their careers- they seem threatened, Haley says. But rather than jump ship, she crafted a plan to lobby her bosses in a series of meetings and memos to create a customized role for her in another department. She got the new gig, but still shes soured on the company. When I make my next move Ill be proud to say I did everything I could to make a job work for me and for them, Haley says. My sanity is more important to me now than it was when I just wanted a big name on my resume.3. Plan to Pay it ForwardKiera* was thrilled to land a PR job right after graduation, but within the first month the entire team quit (red flag) and she found herself with zero guidance. Even worse, her new boss yelled at her at every turn. I was so, so miserable there, every day I knew something traumatic was going to happen, Kiera explains. Ultimately the job was short lived- Kiera quit. But she left with an important legacy of the gig I learned how not to treat my co-workers, but I still get the shakes every time I pass the office building.Ultimately, the minute you realize that youre in a toxic situation, you should start crafting a plan to find a job, and a company, that treats you with the respect you deserve. The dream is still yours, but the path to get there doesnt have to be so treacherous.

Why gossip is so seductive (and how to avoid it)

Why gossip is so seductive (and how to avoid it)Why gossip is so seductive (and how to avoid it)Gossip is like the junk food of communication. We know that it is bad and unhealthy, but its hard to resist its draw. It is rude and unkind, and of course its always terrifying to think that something you said could get back to the person you were gossiping about.Knowing all of its downsides, why is gossip still so hard to resist?The ways gossip brings us togetherGossip Creates Stronger BondsFor many of us, one major reason that gossip feels irresistible is that it was a primary way that we learned to bond with others. Men tend to bond by engaging in a shared activity.Womenoften bond verbally via conversation. Many grow up hearing their parents, grandparents, and other family members talk about one another behind their backs. Gossip, therefore, feels familiar, and any familiar habit is hard to break.Gossip is a gruppe SportGossip also allows people to feel that they are on the same team ag ainst a common enemy. Gossip puts you and your conversational partner on one side, and the unlucky person who is being gossiped about on the other side. This increases feelings of connection with a friend, or a potential friend, because both of you bond over looking down on someone else.The social psychology term for this is in-groupout-group bias, where just because you are in a certain group or on a certain side, you start to feel mora of an affinity for your own group members, as well as feeling hostility towards members of another group.Gossip Helps Us Express Emotions and Feel Better About OurselvesGossip has another advantage for people who find it difficult to express emotions you dont have to be vulnerable with your conversational partners about your own feelings or weaknesses if you direct the conversation toward the topic of other people. For people that find it threatening or feel exposed by going too deep in a conversation, gossip is an easy way to avoid looking inward w hile still carrying on a conversation with a friend.A final short-term benefit of gossip is that is makes you feel better about your own circumstances, especially circumstances that you feelanxiousor insecure about. Condescending or judging another persons romantic relationship, for instance, can make you temporarily feel more secure in your ownrelationship. You may think, My boyfriend may be emotionally distant, but at least he is physically faithful to me. Of course, this doesnt help your own relationship in the long run, but it can be a quick way to avoid thinking too deeply about issues that make you feel upset.What about the negative aspects of gossip?The downsides to gossiping far outweigh the positives, which most people realize. Gossiping feels like a guilty pleasure at best, and a compulsion at worst.How to Break out of the Gossip CycleIf you want to break the gossip habit, it is important to first think deeply about why you gossip, and which of the above reasons resonates with you most. You need to discover what role gossip plays in your life, both interpersonally (between you and other people e.g., facilitating bonding when youre socially anxious) and intrapsychically (within yourself e.g., making you feel better about issues that youre insecure about).Replacing Gossip with Healthier BehaviorsOnce youve introspected about the function of gossip, you can figure out how to replace gossip with other, healthier behaviors. For example, if you areinsecure about your weightand therefore recognize that you take any opportunity to gossip about others weight gain or style choices, you need to focus more directly on your own body image issues. Therapy can help with this, as well as taking the initiative to choose behaviors that fall more in line with your goals, such as starting to exercise, or meeting with a nutritionist.In terms of bonding, there are many other ways to bond with potential friends, or to deepen your connection with existing friends, besides g ossiping. Often, conversations can grow a lot more intimate if we focus on sharing our own feelings and insecurities, rather than talking about other people. Friends will empathize or share their own emotions in response, which can deepen a friendship much more than gossiping.Be confident in yourself, and the rest falls into placeSpending too much time gossiping is a sign that you may need to examine your life more closely. Becoming more confident in yourself and your choices will allow you to feel stronger and to live a more authentic life. When you are happier with yourself, you may find that gossip seems much less appealing, and it can become a lot easier to be kind and nonjudgmental of others.This article first appeared on Talkspace.

Study finds that criticism makes us more creative if it is from certain people

Study finds that criticism makes us more creative if it is from certain peopleStudy finds that criticism makes us more creative if it is from certain peopleTheres a reason that Come see me in my office is one of the scariest phrases there is it always sounds like it means youre going to get criticized or fired.Indeed, managers should take care when giving negative feedback, according to a new study co-authored by Yeun Joon Kim, a PhD student at the University of Torontos Rotman School of Management, in a release. Done the wrong way, criticism can actually suppress creativity. But given by the right person, criticism can increase creativity.Follow Ladders on FlipboardFollow Ladders magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and moreKims past career as a software engineer and the type of negative feedback he received in that line of work inspired the idea for this study.I personally hate hearing negative feedback as most people do and I w ondered if it really improved my performance, particularly when it came to completing creative tasks, says Kim.For the study, Kim and his co-author Junha Kim, a PhD student at Ohio State university, observed through a field experiment and a lab experiment on how getting negative feedback could affect the creativity of those receiving the criticism.They found that criticism could both help or hurt creativity. The key was who the criticism came from.Its all about the person giving the feedbackWhen creative professionals or participants received criticism from a boss or a peer, they had a tendency to be hurt by that criticism, showing less creativity in what they produced next. However, if they received criticism from an employee who was lower on the totem pole than them, they became more creative.It makes sense that employees might feel threatened by criticism from their managers, says Kim. Supervisors have a lot of influence in deciding promotions or pay raises. So negative feedback from a boss might trigger career anxieties.Also threatening could be criticism from a coworker, who we often compete against.But criticism from a lower-ranking coworker, someone who we dont feel threatened by, seems to make us just open enough to receive the message.Managers, too, found criticism from their underlings to be useful.Its not that supervisors enjoy criticism rather, they are in a natural power position and can cope with the discomfort of negative feedback better, says Kim.Criticism is, of course, necessary. But its all in how you do it. Managers, says Kim, just need to be aware of how they sound.If youre a supervisor, just be aware that your negative feedback can hurt your followers creativity, says Kim.

Learn How to Request a Transcript for a Job Application

Learn How to Request a Transcript for a Job ApplicationLearn How to Request a Transcript for a Job ApplicationWhen youre applying for jobs, an employer may request a copy of your high school, college or graduate school transcript as part of your job application. Review information on official transcripts, unofficial transcriptions, how to request transcripts, and how to provide copies to prospective employers. Official Transcripts An official transcript is a list of the classes taken by a student, along with grades, and GPA (Grade Point Average). A transcript will list all courses and grades received, majors, concentrations, any honors, and any degrees earned by a student. Most students can access an unofficial transcript on their schools online portal, but most employers require a more official document. An official transcript is typically issued by the schools Guidance or Registrars office with an official seal or signature. Heres how to request a copy of your official transcri pt. Unofficial Transcripts Transcripts that have been handled by students or anyone in the absence of a seal or closed envelope are considered unofficial. Unofficial transcripts are printed on regular paper and are usually free and instantaneously accessible. Unofficial transcripts can often be used as a temporary placeholder while waiting for the official transcript to arrive. These transcripts will totenstill describe coursework and any transfer credits, academic standing, disciplinary action, honors, and how the coursework aligns with certain degrees and career paths. In the case of incomplete education or waiting for final scores, unofficial transcripts will list CIP (course in progress) to describe a course that has yet to receive a grade. If an unofficial transcript is requested, it is acceptable to send a photocopy of a grade report or a downloaded copy of a transcript, as long as it contains all your coursework, grades, and GPA. How to Request an Official Transcript When employers require an official transcript, it must be requested by the student or alumnus and sent directly from the high school or college. The issuing institution will normally send it directly to the employer to prevent any potential tampering with the document. A transcript can be considered void or fraudulent if the seal is broken or opened before the employer receives it. High school students and graduates should contact the guidance office, and college students and graduates should contact the registrar to have an official transcript sent. Many schools require that alumni have no outstanding balances owed to the school. If there are, they reserve the right to withhold your official transcripts until the balance has been paid. Some schools require a written request before they will issue the document, but many offer an electronic alternative. Both ways of requesting may require the student to disclose proof of identity with signatures, social security number, student ID nu mbers, and date of attendance. Official transcripts are usually issued with a nominal fee anywhere from $5$30, excluding shipping, depending on the institution. Family Education Rights and Privacy Act The Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) provides students with the right to access their education records, regardless of obstacles preventing them from obtaining them in person. Colleges and universities are required to provide students with a copy of their education records even if the student does not live in the area or is otherwise unable to visit the school in person. Although many schools prefer that students submit a formal, in-person request for a transcript, FERPA requires them to mail or otherwise send education documents regardless of the students proximity. This copy, however, does not need to be an official transcript, and the law does not require that institutions send anything to third-party vendors or employers. Examples ABC Corporation requires a resum e, cover letter,writing sample, and official transcript from applicants for the management training program.The company required an official transcript in plus-rechnen to a copy of the degree to ensure that candidates had the appropriate background for the position.John sent a copy of his unofficial transcript to the hiring manager as a proxy until the official transcript arrived.

Report This is how rich (or poor)Â other people think you are

Report This is how rich (or poor)  other people think you are Report This is how rich (or poor)  other people think you are You know what your salary means to you. But sometimes, it’s a good idea to step back and see how others perceive you so that everything’s in context.A recent survey by YouGov gives you the opportunity to do just that. Instead of looking at arbitrary financial representations, the  international Internet-based market research and data analytics firm asked Americans the earnings levels they actually associated with poverty or wealth. And the threshold to be considered rich may be lower than you think.Poverty in AmericaAmericans seemed to agree that people making less than $30,000 a year are poor. 76% of respondents thought those who only made $10,000 a year were living in poverty, and 55% still thought that was true of those making $20,000 a year.But workers earning $30,000 a year was considered better off - only 32% of respondents thought that bracket was impoverished. This cut off makes sense; according to the report, the U.S. Census Bureau found that the median annual personal income in 2016 was $31,099.Notably, $30,000 is almost double what a person making minimum wage could expect if they worked 40 hours a week. 68% of respondents thought someone under these circumstances - making $15,080 a year - was poor.Middle class?Not everyone is either rich or poor, and Americans seem to be able to appreciate the gray area. According to the report, people in income brackets between $40,000 and $80,000 were seen by the majority of respondents to be “neither rich nor poor,” but somewhere in the middle.Perhaps the best testament to this category is data about those who make $40,000 a year. Sixty-six percent of respondents thought Americans with that level of earnings were neither rich nor poor. Only 8% thought they were poor - a dramatic drop from the nearly one-in-three from the $30,000 bracket - yet a mere 15% thought they were rich (11% weren’t sure).Are you one of the rich ones?Americans seem to believe that people earning between $90,000 and $100,000 a year are rich.   Forty-four percent think that those making $90,000 are among the wealthy few, while 56% say they feel the same about someone earning $100,000 a year.And sure, that’s a lot of dough. But not everyone’s in agreement. Specifically, those who actually make $90,000-$150,000 don’t tend to see themselves as wealthy. Only 9% of respondents in that income bracket said they personally were rich. That’s compared to 2% of people making less than $20,000 who said the same thing about themselves.So what’s the takeaway? Well, even if you don’t think you’re making all that much, a lot of America thinks you’re doing pretty well for yourself if your earnings are more than the median annual personal income. Especially if you’re sitting comfortably at $100K a year, you’ve hit the big leagues. And while it’s okay to want more, maybe take a moment to pat yourself on the back. You’re doing good, kid.

8 Reasons You Are Getting Rejected

8 Reasons You Are Getting Rejected 8 Reasons You Are Getting Rejected Learn why you could have lost out on that open job position. The job search process can be frustrating. You have your resume, online profiles, and cover letter ready to go. You’re applying to positions and maybe you have even gotten an interview or two, but then comes the waiting game. You can wait an unspecified amount of time until you decide you didn’t get the position. Or you wait for the dreaded phone call or generic email stating that you weren’t the type of candidate they were looking for. So where did you go wrong? The truth is, you might not have done anything wrong. Sometimes getting hired is about being in the right place at the right time. But if you did make a mistake somewhere along the line, then you want to fix it. Take a look at these reasons for being rejected, and see if you fit the bill. Lack of interpersonal skills. Sometimes, looking good on paper is the easy part. If you are a person who has a hard time in social situations, considers themselves introverted, and dreads small talk, then this may be a very real reason you have been rejected after an interview. While your resume might have been sparking, hiring managers are still looking for someone who they believe will fit in well at the company. This typically means a person who has good interpersonal skills, has empathy, can carry a conversation, etc. If you dread interviews because of your lack of these skills, then doing mock interviews with friends could be the solution you’re looking for. You didn’t talk about your achievements. While it’s always good to have work experience that is relatable to the job for which you’re applying, potential employers also want to know how you contributed to those jobs. In the last five years of your career, what have you accomplished? Did you bring in new customers, contribute to a large group project, or increase sales? Your resume is where you want to list all of these things and sell yourself. There’s no room to be modest. Someone else had connections. Sometimes you are rejected through no fault of your own. A great way to get jobs is through connections. When a hiring manager is looking to hire someone, and gets a recommendation from a face he knows, he is more likely to hire that person than a stranger off the street. Knowing someone can be the difference between landing that dream job or being rejected. That’s why networking is so important to the job search process. The more you network, the more connections you make. The more connections you make, the more potential you have for getting an in at a company that’s hiring. You were too eager/arrogant. There is a fine line you have to straddle when it comes to the interview. You want to seem interested in the job, but not over-the-top interested. If you’re offering to do the job for less pay than advertised, showing up too early, or talking too much about your love of the company, the hiring manager is likely to be weary or even annoyed. On the flipside, being too confident, bordering on arrogance, can also cause problems. The hiring manager may not think you are taking the interview, or their time, seriously. You revealed your weaknesses. The dreaded question : “What do you consider your greatest weakness ?” will likely come up during any interview. This is always a tricky question, so it’s important to practice what you will say ahead of time. You don’t want to give any false answers, like being too organized or too punctual. A hiring manager will see right through this. You want to be honest, while also talking about how you are working to fix your weaknesses and better yourself. You definitely do not want to talk about how you can’t meet deadlines or have problems getting along with co-workers. You have a bad online presence. It’s the 21st century, which means employers are looking you up online to see what you’ve been up to. This could mean your LinkedIn profile, your page on Facebook, Twitter, or other social media, a blog you keep, etc. This is all visible to anyone who looks. You want your online presence to be squeaky clean and professional, even if it’s not business related. You don’t work there already. A lot of the time, if possible, a company likes to fill a position from within the company. This could mean bumping someone who is entry-level up to a management position. It could mean shifting people around from other departments. These people already have an in at the company and have proven themselves. This just isn’t something you can control. Your resume is too long. A resume should be like a short pitch about yourself. It should be short, simple, and to the point. You want to include only the information that is relevant to the job you are applying for. You don’t need to talk about how you have a black belt in karate or that you were a lifeguard back in high school. Hiring managers only take about 6 seconds to scan your resume. You want them to look at what makes you the best candidate for the job, not information that is irrelevant.

Smart Coatings Mean Longer Offshore Life

Smart Coatings Mean Longer Offshore Life Smart Coatings Mean Longer Offshore Life Smart Coatings Mean Longer Offshore Life It is standard practice to use specialized coatings and paint to protect machinery and infrastructure from harsh conditions. But researchers are making steady progress in improving their effectiveness, using advanced manufacturing techniques and salting the coatings with smart particles for self-healing. A European Union-funded research and development project has passed to the commercial stage, relying on thermally sprayed aluminum spiked with environmentally friendly, active antifouling substances to protect offshore steel renewable energy structures. The chemicals are added in small amounts. As the protective TSA eventually degrades, an insoluble calcareous material is formed to fortify the breach and provide protection. Corrosion and fouling test facility near Santander, Spain. Image: The Welding Institute Dubbed ACORN, for Advanced Coating for Offshore Renewable Energy, the effort also includes developing a new coating to prevent cavitation erosion of marine turbine components. After testing three types of coatings, researchers found that a cermet HVOF [high-velocity oxygen fuel] coating offered corrosion and cavitation protection good for a 10-plus year design life. In the US, the NASA Kennedy Space Centers Corrosion Technology Laboratory has developed a smart, environmentally friendly coating for early detection and inhibition of corrosion that also has self-healing properties. It uses microcapsules formed through an interfacial polymerization process; one type of microcapsule contains a corrosion inhibitor and another contains an indicator. When corrosion begins to occur, the microcapsules react to the change in pH levels and the inhibitor is released, forming a film that protects and repairs the affected area. The indicator identifies the affected area with a change of color. NASA officials say the new coating poses no threat to the environment, an improvement on existing compounds. NASA researchers developed the coating because the sun, heat and humidity of the Kennedy Space Complexs location in south Florida makes it the countrys most corrosive environment, according to the American Society of Metals. The space shuttle program amplified the problem in the 1980s because of acidic exhaust from solid rocket boosters. Work on the coatings began in 2004 at the Corrosion Technology Laboratory. Researchers went to work trying to find an alternative to existing coatings considered to be harmful to humans and the environment, such as hexavalent chromium. The substance is commonly used in aerospace and automotive industries to protect aluminum. The U.S. Navy also is conducting research to replace hexavalent chromium with smart coatings. The work focuses on conductive polymers that form metal oxide films around the affected area. They form a dense, low-porosity film that restricts invasion of oxidants. The Navy already has developed a polymer that is a derivative of polyparaphenylene vinylene that shows promise for replacing hexavalent chromium treatment on aluminum alloys. In Europe, EU researchers worked with thermally sprayed aluminum, already recognized as an effective coating for a variety of applications. As offshore wind power grows in European waters12,631MW were already installed at the beginning of 2017 and another 3,000MW are expected by 2020, according to Brussels-based Wind Europeplanners recognized the need for better protecting the foundations as well as the turbines. Steel structures in marine environments are subject to many forms of degradation, two of the most problematic being corrosion and biofouling, said ACORN engineer Henry Begg. Although coatings to protect against such conditions exist within the shipping industry, where ships can be periodically dry-docked for maintenance, offshore structures are required to be moored in the water for extended periods of time and without ongoing preventive maintenance. ACORN researchers tested five types or combinations of coatings on sample plates, in submerged, tidal, and splash zones. The end product, a nonpaint product, provides a virtually maintenance-free lifespan for steel structures exceeding twenty years, say developers, and eliminates the need for costly, supplementary cathodic protection. A range of environmentally friendly antifouling agents are added to the coating in very small concentrations. They will then be gradually exposed at the surface of the coating as it degrades, expected to be at a rate of less than 10 micrometers per year and prevent barnacles from settling on the surface. Barnacles are one of the most harmful fouling organisms in seawater, and can destroy protective paints and coatings. ACORN has been working with industrial partners to develop and market the new coatings and NASA also wants to commercialize its coating. In the meantime, big offshore projects are being built using the best of conventional TSA coatings. A joint venture of Germanys E.ON and Norways Statoil is building a 385-MW wind project in Baltic Sea, comprised of 60, 6-MW turbines installed on mono pile foundations in depths of 23 to 27 meters. Working with its engineers and partners, E.ON developed an automated coating line at a fabrication yard in Rostock to build the giant monopiles. E.ON officials claim it is the first fully automated coating line, handling piles with a maximum length of 81 meters and a diameter of up to 8 meters. After expanding existing coating halls, thermally sprayed aluminum was applied using a robot with two arc burners that sprayed a 350-micrometer-thick coating on the piles. The second step applied a sealing coat of resin. E.ON also claims it is the first time the process has been applied on an industrial scale. Previous TSA applications were used on smaller steel components that were submerged or on larger components above the water line. As the smart-TSA coatings are commercialized, researchers believe it will boost environmental protection while lowering overall costs, increasingthe competiveness of the offshore renewable energy and furthering the rollout of additional offshore technologies because of a longer lifespan. For Further Discussion Steel structures in marine environments are subject to many forms of degradation, two of the most problematic being corrosion and biofouling. Harry Begg, ACORN

Engineers Remember the Making of the Lunar Module

Engineers Remember the Making of the Lunar Module Engineers Remember the Making of the Lunar Module Engineers Remember the Making of the Lunar Module The historical significance of Peter Kachmars job at the MIT Instrumentation Lab didnt hit him until a few weeks after the bulk of it was finally over. It was a clear night toward the end of July when he took a minute to stare at the Moon. There are three men up there right now, he thought in wonderment, and two of them are actually on its surface. We put them there, and we returned them home safely, he said to himself. We did it. Kachmar was not only thinking of the countrys achievement, but also of the 400,000 engineers, technicians, and scientists who worked on the Apollo Program during the span of its 14-year run. Fifty years after Apollo 11 successfully put the first men on the Moon, engineers who worked on the mission say their feeling of pride, awe, and accomplishment are stronger than ever. Kachmars certainly is. When I was there working on it, it was more like, Weve got a job to do, were engineers, we can get the job done,? said Kachmar, who joined the lab, now called Draper Laboratory, in 1965 and helped to develop the algorithms and crew procedures for the Apollo Rendezvous System, used to guide the lunar module from the command module to the moons surface, and back. And Ive come to realize what a tremendous feat it really was. Kachmar is not alone. On the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11, engineers across the country are reflecting on what turned out for many to be the most important, memorable, and influential job theyve held throughout long and satisfying careers. Put into context, how couldnt it be? Read More about Top 10 Space Missions Set to Explore New Frontiers Lunar Bound Most of them were fresh out of school or signing on to their first real jobs. Within days of starting, they were creating new materials, technologies, structures, and spacecraft that would make the seemingly impossible dream of walking on the moon a reality. President Kennedys challenge to go to the moon in this decade and do other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, inspired and fueled them through long days and weeks. Many worked alongside older engineers, stars in their fields, who dropped their egos to help a young colleague solve a problem and do the job right. They entered with the fundamentals of their education and left with a new set of knowledge, skills, and confidence that no school or other job could offer. Galvanized, they all strove toward achieving a national goalnot one based on killing an enemy but on advancing humanitythat most of the world also embraced. And together, from the July 16 launch of the Saturn V rocket to the astronauts safe return on July 24, they celebrated the accomplishments that made Apollo 11 one giant leap for mankind. I cried and I cried, said Anthony Cacioppo, remembering the Apollo 11 milestones he watched with his colleagues at the former Grumman Aircraft headquarters in Bethpage, N.Y. Cacioppo, a member of ASMEs Long Island section, worked from 1965 to 1970 as an intern at Grumman while studying for his engineering degree at Pratt Institute. And today I still cry about that experience, he said, unable to hold back the tears. It was a wonderful experience. In 1962, the company beat out nine others for the sole contract to design and build the Apollo Lunar Excursion Module, later shortened to lunar module and typically referred to as the lem. Until the program ended, more than 3,000 engineers and 7,000 other Grumman employees hand-built 13 full versions of it. For any engineer or technician, especially a young intern, the company was a special place to work, offering a goldmine of opportunity. It was a gift, a privilege, said Cacioppo, who worked on packaging new honeycomb sandwich materials, cable systems used to move the astronauts around during simulations, and instrumentation and environmental controls, among other areas. Engineering Feat Apollo 11 Commander Neil Armstrong performing lunar module simulations at Kennedy Space Center. Photo: NASA The lunar module (LM) is still considered one of the worlds most important engineering achievements and remains the only crewed vehicle to land beyond the Earth. Designed for lunar orbit rendezvous, it sat directly beneath the command and service module (CSM) that rode atop the Saturn V rocket. Once parked in lunar orbit, the Apollo LM-5 Eagle, separated from the CSM and carried two astronauts, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, to the Moons surface during the 24-hour landing mission that began shortly after 1 pm on July 20. A third astronaut, Michael Collins, remained in the CSM. After collecting soil samples and performing environmental tests, the astronauts flew the LM back to the CSM, where they re-boarded and discarded the module. Overseen by Grumman aerospace engineer Thomas Kelly, almost every element of its design, construction, and testing pushed and expanded the limits of multiple engineering disciplines. The team developed and incorporated novel lightweight materials and cutting edge electrical, communication, navigation, and computer hardware and software systems. Hear more about the Making of the Lunar Module on ASMETechCast As an engineer, you couldnt want anything better than that. We were developing technology that had never been used before, Cacioppo said at the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Garden City, N.Y., where he and other Grummanites recently met to reminisce about their experience. Several of those engineers volunteer as guides at the museum, which houses many exhibits based on the LM and includes one of the last built for the program. Talk about an adventure. Thats part of the legacy that I look back on. In its heyday during World War II and the Cold War, Grummans aircraft and other products were so well built the company earned the nickname the Grumman Iron Works. The LM was no exception, proving to be one of the most consistently reliable of the Apollo mission vehicles. Ed Lee, a thermal engineer who helped forge the iron at Grumman, witnessed the LMs reliability first-hand when in 1970 the crew of Apollo 13 reported, Houston, weve had a problem. A Chinese immigrant, Lee took Kennedys space speeches to heart and pledged to help him send men to the Moon. I thought, This country is good to me. I have to do my best because of (Kennedys) challenge. I want to do something for my country, he said. Lee had spent two years in ROTC and toyed with joining the Army. But his advisors thought his skills could be put to better use. Because of my mechanical engineering (background), they said to do it the other way: Instead of going to the front and fight for the country, you can do that with your knowledge of systems and engineering. And thats what I did. Lee worked on developing the modules external and internal insulation, environmental controls, and heat transfer systems needed to protect the astronauts and instruments from the extreme temperatures on the moons surface and the heat generated by the vehicles engines. With the Earth in the background, the Apollo 11 lunar module Eagle rendezvoused in lunar orbit with the command module. If the rendezvous had failed, the astronauts would have been lost. Photo: NASA The major challenge was trying to keep the LM as light as possible. Like other engineers working on different elements of the program, Lee and his colleagues tested and re-tested everything they designed and implemented until there was no question about its reliability. That work was put to test toward the end of May 1969 during the Apollo 10 manned mission to orbit the moon, a dry run for Apollo 11. An operational mistake by the astronauts almost caused the LM to crash on the moons surface, but the module itself performed flawlessly. That proved that this system we designed is working, and so we had confidence in the Apollo 11, Lee said. The LMs success didnt surprise Mike Lisa, who now leads the Cradle of Aviations volunteer program, given the amount of QA tests it underwent. Lisa signed onto Grumman in 1963 as an instrumentation engineer, a job that became so varied it was pathetic, he joked. His main duties, though, involved countless rounds of vibration, shock, and thermal vacuum tests to ensure the LMs different components could withstand the rigors of space travel. Every part had to be tested, he said. We knew what we had to achieve, and once we achieved that we had to go beyond it. Ross Bracco often went beyond. He worked on the LM mainly as a structural designer, as well as with the propulsion engineering group and the flight test department. One of his jobs was to design a panel to support tool components in one of the modules high-vibration areas. He decided an extremely thin but strong honeycomb structure would work best. While all of the modules components were designed to meet NASAs criteria, the Grumman engineers would often add on safety factors of 15, 20, or 30 percent. Bracco tried to hit 100 percent on his. I said, I dont want my design to hurt anybody. I want to make sure these fellows had the opportunity to come home safely. So I designed a much higher safety factor on my own. Despite the confidence built through those redundancies and extra steps, the design teams still got nervous when NASAs QA inspectors visited Bethpage. They never knew what to expect. One day, the inspectors were examining the clean room where much of the LM was assembled. All of a sudden they announced they were shutting things down and made everyone leave the room. It turned out an inspector had found a discarded piece of chewing gum on the floor of the LM. What precipitated was this incredible inspection that locked down production for almost a week, Lisa said. That type of QA, though, helped save lives of the Apollo 13 crew when a spark from an exposed wire in the Odyssey CSM caused an oxygen tank to explode, shutting off power to it. The crew squeezed into the Aquarius LM, built for only two people and not designed for re-entry, using it for life support and propulsion. Lee had just gotten home after a 12-hour shift working in mission support area and was watching TV when his boss called. We have a problem, he told Lee. Get back here. Lee went back and with his team consulted on how to reduce the power usage of the Aquarius and monitor the temperatures inside of it to get the astronauts safely back to earth. We were able to do that, he said. Lee, along with Philip Jacknis, a 44-year ASME member and past chair of the Long Island section, served on the societys nominating committee that designated the LM a national historic mechanical engineering landmark in 2002. It really was an iconic engineering feat, said Jacknis, who had worked at Grumman for three summers beginning in 1966, keeping track of and distributing technical documents while studying mechanical engineering at The Cooper Union. He worked at the company for 44 years. It underscores the saying form follows function it led to a very creative design. One Giant Leap Harry Armen, past president of ASME, remembers the spirit of cooperation that fueled that creative, can-do engineering spirit that gave life to the entire Apollo program. He calls the time the golden age of engineering, with the LM as one of its crown jewels. He started at Grumman as an intern in the summer of 1962 and retired as the companys chief technologist 42 years later. During the Apollo program, Armen worked in the research department where he provided answers and solutions related to finite structural analysis, soil mechanics, aerodynamics, all types of optimization techniques, and shell theory for thin-walled construction, to name a few. It just went on and on, he said. The engineers also relied on new mainframe computers and punch cards to solve large-scale equations simultaneously and quickly. That was a remarkable development, he said. But Armen and other engineers across the country had access to something more remarkable than high-speed computers: engineering talent. Anywhere you looked in the company you could find someone who would help you. Experts came of the woodwork. There wasnt a technical question you couldnt get an answer for. People would drop what they were doing to solve your problem, Armen said. There was so much excitement at Grumman, the juices were flowing. Frank Moskal, a mechanical engineer who focused on machine design and stress analysis after graduating from the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, experienced the same cooperation and solidarity across the country at North American Aviation in Downey, Calif., where the CSM and Saturn Vs second stage were built. I felt very inadequate because USC taught theory, not practical things. But the people I worked with were so good. Almost everyone had a specialty, he said. It was a great experience because you learned so much from the mature engineers. Many of the engineers working on the program faced similar situations as the young engineers today who must develop cross-disciplinary skills to perform jobs transformed by new technologies. Moskal found himself working with cutting-edge technologies and systems that veered greatly from his core training. He learned computer skills, statistical analysis, and computerized welding. He worked with printed circuitry, early CAD systems, and resistive inks. The government was investing in its scientific talent at that time. It was sort of like a national treasure, he said. You felt like you were heavily valued. That feeling prevailed until the Apollo program ended, and tens of thousands of engineers were laid off. It was awful, Armen said. One day you were working on the LM and the next day you were selling hotdogs on the street. Despite long hours, tremendous stress, and painful layoffs, something far greater remained for everyone involved. And thats something engineers around the world will remember 50 years from now. The idea of sending someone to the Moon was something we all dreamed about ever since the first time anyone looked up and saw it in the sky, Armen said. You were part of that. It was the pride in doing something noble.

The Five Stages of a Project

The Five Stages of a Project The Five Stages of a Project While some project methodologies such as agile approaches compress or repeat the following stages in faster, iterative cycles, the work of each stage is visible and distinct in every project.   Formal Projects Follow a Five Stage Process as Follows Initiation: project team formation, project chartering and kick-off.  Planning: finalizing the project scope, defining the detailed work breakdown, assessing risk, identifying resource requirements, finalizing the schedule and preparing for the actual work.Execution: performing the actual work required by the project definition and scope.Monitor and Control: the actual management, reporting, and control of the resources and budgets during the execution phase.Project Close: delivery of the project, assessment of lessons learned, adjournment of the project team. Traditional Project Flow Regardless of the size of the project, the movement through the stages is the same. The project is initiated or kicked-off with a charter that identifies the project manager and describes the projects importance.   Once the project has been initiated, it moves to the planning phase. Here, the core and work teams identify the necessary work to be completed to achieve the project scope and develop estimates and assessments for time, costs, resources, and risks. After the planning phase, the work begins and occurs in a defined order necessary to move from a predecessor or preceding activities to successor activities. Project dependencies play an important role in this phase.   While the execution is proceeding the project manager and team members monitor, report on and control the overall project, with emphasis on critical path activities. This work continues until the execution phase is complete and the project is delivered to the customer.   The final phase, project close, involves wrapping up the delivery, assessing lessons learned and adjourning the project team so that members can move on to their next initiative.   For agile or iterative development-type projects, planning and execution take place in short spurts or sprints, with the stages repeating until the project is completed to the customers satisfaction.   Initiation A solid project initiation will not only set your project up for success, but it will also lay the groundwork for all future stages. During initiation, youll get the project team members assigned, brief them on the overall project goals and ask the client or project owner as many questions as possible so you can plan the project efficiently. It is also a great time to build team enthusiasm about the project and collect any last minute details that might influence project planning. Additional steps include: Stakeholder analysisAssignment of an executive sponsorCharter document development and communicationFormal kick-off meeting Planning Once youve initiated the project and gathered all relevant information, youll then begin planning your project. The planning stage depends on the size of your project, how much information you have to organize and how large your team is. The result of planning should be a clear project plan or schedule, from which everyone will follow their assigned tasks. Using a project-planning program such as Microsoft Project or Basecamp is extremely helpful when planning a project. If you dont have access to one of these programs, do a general search online for free project planning software. Even though using a project-planning program is helpful, its not always necessary. Using Excel and Word to create your plan and communicate it to the team is equally as effective. Specific tasks in the planning phase include: Creating a communication plan for the various stakeholders involved.Developing a detailed work breakdown structure.Identifying the critical path.Plotting resources on the project plan and refining the sequencing of the work based on project dependencies and resource constraints.Developing a detailed schedule.Assessing risks and developing a risk prioritization and mitigation plan.   Execution Now that you have a solid project plan, the team can begin executing the project against their assigned tasks. It is the stage where everyone starts doing the work. Youll want to officially kick-off the execution stage with in-person meetings to ensure everyone has what they need to begin executing their part of the project. Getting the team started on the right track is integral to a projects success, so articulate the schedule and communications plan clearly.   Monitor and Control While the project is in the execution stage, youll begin monitoring and controlling it to ensure its moving along as planned. There are a variety of ways you can monitor and control a project. Casual check-ins with team leaders, organized daily stand-ups, or more formal weekly status meetings are effective. The information that comes out of these meetings or communication channels will inform the feedback loop and ultimately any re-planning and adjustments that are necessary to the project. Additional important activities in this stage include: Adhering to your pre-established communication plan to ensure stakeholder awareness of the project status.Monitoring work teams and work activities on the critical path.Identifying opportunities to improve schedule performance by fast-tracking or completing activities in parallel or where necessary, crashing the schedule by adding resources.Monitoring actual versus planned costs.In some cases, monitoring, calculating and reporting on earned value for the project plan.Monitor and mitigating risks and refining the risk plan as needed. Project Close Once all the details and tasks of your project are complete and approved by the client or project owner; you can finally close your project. The closing of a project is just as important as its initiation, planning, and execution. Youll want to document all the information from the project and organize it neatly so you can go back to it if necessary. It is also a good time to hold a post-mortem on the project so all team members can reflect on what went right, or wrong during the project. It should also be documented so the outcome can be shared with other project members and filed in a project history folder. Finally, it is important to formally adjourn the project team, providing feedback and performance evaluations as indicated by your firms policy.

10 harmless mind tricks that make people like you

10 harmless mind tricks that make people like you 10 harmless mind tricks that make people like you When you’re working hard and doing all you can to achieve your goals, anything that can give you an edge is powerful and will streamline your path to success.Mind tricks won’t make you a Jedi, but using the brain’s natural quirks to your advantage can have a positive impact on everyone you encounter.As soon as you become aware of these 10 tricks, they start popping up wherever you look. With minimal effort on your part, their unconscious influence on behavior can make a huge difference in your day-to-day life.1. When a group of people laughs, each member of the group can’t help but make eye contact with the person they feel closest to.This trick can make you an astute observer of relationships of all types. It can tell you which members of your team are bonding and learning to trust one another, just as easily as it can tell you if you might have a shot at landing a date with a certain someone. Of course, you’ll learn a lot about how you feel about other people just by payi ng attention to whom you make eye contact with.Follow Ladders on Flipboard!Follow Ladders’ magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and more!2. When someone does a favor for you, it actually makes them like you more.When you convince someone to do you a favor, they unconsciously justify why they are willing to do so. Typical justifications include things such as “he’s my friend,” “I like him,” and “he seems like the kind of person who would return the favor.” These justifications serve you perfectly. Not only did you just get help with something, but the other party also likes you more than they did before.3. Silence gets answers.When you ask someone a question and they’re slow to respond, don’t feel pressure to move the conversation forward. Remaining silent plays to your advantage. Moments of silence make people feel as though they should speak, especially when the ball is in their court. This is a great tool to u se in negotiations and other difficult conversations. Just make certain you resist the urge to move the conversation forward until you get your answer.4. Open hands and palms create trust.There’s an employee policy at LEGOLAND that says whenever someone asks where something is, the employee “presents” (open-palm gesture) their directions instead of “pointing” them. This is because the open-palmed gesture conveys trust, making people more likely to agree with what you’re saying and to find you friendly and likeable. Pointing, on the flip side, is generally seen as aggressive and rude.5. Nodding your head during a conversation or when asking a question makes the other person more likely to agree with what you’re saying.The next time you need to win someone over to your way of thinking, try nodding your head as you speak. People unconsciously mirror the body language of those around them in order to better understand what other people are feeling. When you nod your head a s you speak, you convey that what you’re saying is true and desirable, and people are more inclined to agree with you.6. People remember unfinished things better.The natural tendency to remember unfinished things is called the Zeigarnik effect. Ever notice how some television commercials get cut off early? The company paying for the commercial cuts it off so that it sticks in your head longer than other commercials. The best way to forget unfinished things (commercials or songs) is to finish them in your head. If a song gets stuck in your head, try singing the last lines to yourself. You’ll be amazed how quickly it goes away.7. Chew gum to relax and focus.Chewing gum actually lowers your cortisol levels, the hormone responsible for stress. But chewing gum doesn’t just reduce stress, it also makes you more alert and improves your performance in memory-oriented tasks. It does so by increasing the blood flow to your brain and alerting your senses. When you experience a stressful situation while chewing gum, your body is less likely to go into the primal fight-or-flight mode (which results in poor decisions and inability to focus). You probably don’t want to use this one while you’re talking, but it’s a great way to destress in preparation for a big presentation or challenging conversation.8. People’s feet reveal their interest.When talking to someone, pay attention to their feet. If their feet are aimed at you, they’re interested and listening to what you’re saying, but if their feet point away from you, they’re most likely disinterested and mentally checked out.9. When you meet someone new, work their name into the conversation in order to remember it.The goal here is to repeat their name three times in the first five minutes. It works extremely well, but the trick is to do it naturally. When you rattle off their name unnecessarily, it sounds foolish and awkward. Try to use phrases like “Hello ____,” “Nice to meet you _____,” and “W here are you from _____.”10. Showing excitement makes other people like youThis one goes back to the idea that we mirror the behavior of those around us. If you show excitement when you see someone, they naturally mirror that excitement back at you. It’s an easy way to make a strong first impression and to get people to like you.Bringing it all togetherGive these tricks a try, and you’re bound to notice a difference in how people respond to you.This article first appeared on LinkedIn.You might also enjoy… New neuroscience reveals 4 rituals that will make you happy Strangers know your social class in the first seven words you say, study finds 10 lessons from Benjamin Franklin’s daily schedule that will double your productivity The worst mistakes you can make in an interview, according to 12 CEOs 10 habits of mentally strong people 10 harmless mind tricks that make people like you When you’re working hard and doing all you can to achieve your goals, anything that can give you an edge is powerful and will streamline your path to success.
