Signs youre headed toward career burnout what to do about it

Signs youre headed toward career niedergeschlagenheit what to do about itSigns youre headed toward career burnout what to do about itWhen it comes to work-related anxiety, there is no time of day thats safe from unwanted stress. Like, when its 2 a.m., and youve been rolling around in bed, mulling over that snide remark your coworker made and worrying if your manager is secretly unimpressed with your work. Or, its 7 p.m. and your partner is excitedly telling you about their latest creative conquest, and youve missed the last three minutes because youre refreshing your email as you stir the dinner youre making.Its estimated that upward of 83% of Americans report a frazzled feeling toward their careers, a common thread thats leading many to a major professional crash-and-burn.Though for some, an OOO or long weekend is enough to clear your mind and refocus your work/life balance will do the trick, for others, a priority gut check is in order.Career burnout is a unique type of job-relat ed stress. Its an indication that your job or business has taken mora energy that you have available to give and that your brain is signaling that things are out of whack, explains career coach Melissa Brown. Normally our weekends and vacations offer us enough space to feel refreshed and ready to take on challenges at work. But if youve recently taken a vacation, and instantly felt depleted upon returning to work, burnout may be to blame.Here, some strong indicators youre speeding toward career burnout - and what to do about it.1. Your Sunday scaries are intenseEven for folks who landed their dream gigs right out of college (lucky fools), sometimes going to work seems, well, bleh. Though its normal to want mora time to play than to work, if you boil over with stress and anxiety on Sunday night because you have to report to work in the A.M., your career burnout might be in full swing, according to Brown.Maybe its due to a change in upper management or a shift in your personal life t hat has you interested in other industries or ways of living and working, but this continued sense of dread means its time to seek different opportunities.Sometimes cutting the cord and leaving your current job might be the best solution for you, but if youre not ready for something completely new, try to find a new project at work that excites you. And dont forget that theres more to life than just your job - perhaps a passion project in your free time can help lift your energy and make your time at work more inspired, lead career and business coach at Rowan Coaching, Louisa Shepard says. Either way, my advice is to follow your joy, whether that means finding new opportunities in your current role, or looking for them elsewhere.2. Youre skipping meals and avoiding working outWhen a quick glance at your overbooked Google calendar is enough to make your heart race, the last thing you want to do is sprint it out on a treadmill. Feeling strapped for time during a busy week or month is an experience all professionals have, but if you feel so limited by the number of hours in a day that you arent eating or working out, its time to reconsider. As Brown notes, this means youre 100% prioritizing your work over your physical health and over time, your body will pay the price.To overcome this, Brown suggests scheduling self-care much like you would a sales meeting, a product marketing call or a check-in with your assistant. Youll feel better at work and consequently, do better work, if your physical health is taken care of. People say healthy body, healthy mind for a reason. But if you have to set an alarm to remind yourself to eat, do that, she suggests.Its also recommended to skip out on some of the post-work social events that could be overloading your evenings unnecessarily. Though making an appearance at some corporate happy hours is often seen as a plus to managers, if the bro culture has get-togethers nightly, you shouldnt feel pressured to attend them all and as Brown says, youll perform stronger if youre reenergized than constantly sleepy at your cubicle.If you have to pass on the glass of wine after a long, stressful day so that you can wake up an hour early to get a workout in, know that itll make you feel better in the long-run. Trade in the alcoholic instant gratification for long-term career success, she says.3. You find simple tasks difficultIf you used to zip through your morning routine of answering emails, pulling reports, and scheduling calls without a second thought, and now you procrastinate every click of the mouse, you might be growing increasingly unhappy at your job. This is when Brown says to dig a little deeper and determine your motivations - or rather, lack of.If you feel resistance towards your to-dos and procrastinate heavily, its probably because you lack motivation to do the things you have to do. When youre motivated, you can do the impossible. When youre unmotivated, youll do just enough to get by. If youre be coming more and more unmotivated at work, its likely that the reward - whether monetary or intrinsic - is not worth the cost, she says.Though it might seem elementary, Brown suggests taking 30 minutes to write down (or okay, type out), the kinds of tasks youre currently doing. Then, in another column, write down the kind of tasks that used to get you excited. Now presents your challenge how do you incorporate what you love into your job description.This might mean talking to your boss about taking on personal projects or switching departments. It might seem like youre adding work, but if its the kind of work you like, itll make your overall job situation a more positive one. And, it could lead to new opportunities more in line with the kind of work you care about, she says.4. You dont like the person youre becomingPart of the perk of having trusted and true friends is their undying commitment to stand by you through the many seasons of your life. Thats why when your best friend ra ises concern of your mental state and your attitude toward life as a whole, you might need to do some soul searching to analyze if you like the person youve become lately. How come? A clear indicator of career burnout, according to Shepard, is when your gig makes you someone youre not.If you know that you value something like authenticity but your work wont allow you the space to be yourself, youre going to exhaust your energy stores simply trying to show up in a way thats misaligned with who you are, Shepard says. Take stock of whats important to you and see if your job aligns with the things that you value. Many people are simply stressed because theyre spending the better part of the day trying to suppress who they really are and what they really want out of a career in favor of whats safe, whats acceptable, or what others expect of them.To do this, Shepard says to take a weekend away (or a staycation, if your budget doesnt allow) to honestly identify the things that make you fru chtwein happy and most fulfilled. When you reach the end of this brainstorm, see how your current role matches your passion.If your career stands in the way of what brings you joy, it might be time to find a better fit, Shepard says.

If your boss says this, its a sign they probably underestimate you

If your anfhrer says this, its a sign they probably underestimate youIf your boss says this, its a sign they probably underestimate youFeedback is the key to success on any job, but some comments or responses may be warning signs of potential problems. Sometimes, the issue is a micromanaging boss. In fact, 59% of respondents in an Accountemps survey admitted to working for a micromanager at least once. If your boss uses the statements listed below, pay attention because there may be issues (real or perceived) with your work wertmiger zuwachs or attitude.Why? questionsIts a part of your bosss job to ask you questions and then provide feedback. However, according to Carisa Miklusak, CEO of tilr, The schrift of questions asked could indicate a potential problem.She provides four examples of problematic why questionsWhy are you meeting with that person?Why did you do that?Why didnt you do that first?Why do you feel thats important?These types of questions could indicate that theyre conce rned about your performance or losing confidence in your abilities, Miklusak warns.Please let me see your workWhen youre a new employee, your boss might ask to see your work before it is sent out. Even after youve been with the company for a while, this might happen on occasion especially for a big project. However, Roberta Matuson of Matuson Consulting warns, If this is happening all the time, it means that your boss lacks confidence in your ability to do things exactly how he or she would like them done.Youre ambitious/assertiveDuring performance reviews, feedback can provide the type of constructive comments that can help to advance your career. However, women tend to receive vague feedback in performance reviews, while their male peers receive specific feedback with action plans and even sponsorship from their bosses, according to Dr. Patti Fletcher, a technology executive, gender equity advocate, and author of DISRUPTERS Success Strategies from Women Who Break the Mold. Vague feedback, in which no specific behaviors or scenarios are called out, with no actionable insights on what you should keep doing, whats working, what isnt, and areas of development, are red flags, Fletcher says.If your boss describes you as ambitious or assertive, you are probably bedrngnis receiving a compliment (though if your male counterparts receive those same words as descriptors, they likely are receiving compliments), she explains. Without this insight, as well as the desired outcomes, women are not able to come to a common understanding and create mutual expectations - in short, your boss will get frustrated and so will you.You have a lot going onIf youve been passed over for new projects or stretch roles, your boss may use an indirect approach to communicate a lack of confidence in your skills. And, according to Miklusak, this may be a gender-based response. Men are positioned based on their potential, and theyre asked if they are interested in taking on a big project, an d they are part of the decision, she says.Women, on the other hand, are hired or appointed based on experience, and if your boss lets you know that you were not chosen by saying things like you already have a lot going on, thats a red flag. Miklusak believes that this could be an unconscious bias, especially among male bosses, but she warns that not being allowed to participate in other projects or stretch roles can negatively impact your career.Other red-flag phrasesGrant Findlay-Shirras, co-founder of Parkbench.com believes that there are other words and phrases that should be cause for alarm.Let me do that for youWhat are you doing?How are you (insert task)?According to Findlay-Shirras, These phrases and questions should alert an employee to the fact that they are not doing well, they are not fitting in, and they should do something about it.Tips to reverse the situationIf your boss underestimates you, fortunately, there are steps that you can take to reverse the situation. Somet imes, your bosss analysis may not be accurate, but in other instances, there may be performance issues that you are not aware of.Abbi Whitaker, co-founder of The Abbi Agency believes that employees who want to gain the confidence of their boss or coach need to go the extra mile. Go above and beyond stay late to get the job done by a deadline, and proof your work very carefully to ensure there are no spelling errors or other mistakes.Whitaker also recommends sending thought leadership articles to your boss and include comments on how the lessons can be incorporated by the company. These actions demonstrate that you want to help drive culture and new ideas show that youre engaged as an employee, and someone I would definitely want to keep around for years, Whitaker explains.Sometimes, it may be necessary to take a more detailed approach to changing your bosss perception.Cynthia Bucy, senior career consultant at IMPACT Group, advises the following stepsAsk your boss if there any are c oncerns about your ability to accomplish the workAcknowledge any difficulties dont try to cover up mistakesProvide details of your plan to accomplish work, including measurable milestones with deadlinesRequest checkpoint meetings to reassure your boss that youre on trackIf there have been problems in the past, recount steps taken to change and share successes those steps have led toEmphasize strengths and achievements from the past, as well as what youve learned that will lead to improved workRequest training/development opportunitiesIf your boss refers to you as being ambitious or assertive, Fletcher recommends asking for an explanation of those terms. Dont use this opportunity to argue, but to help your boss understand his/her unconscious bias, she says.When youre not assigned to new projects or roles because your boss says you have a lot going on, dont just passively accept this response if youre certain that you are an excellent worker who has good time management, multitasking, and organizational skills. Use data to explain why you would be a good fit, Miklusak explains. If you have personal or family commitments outside of work, she says this is none of the companys business if you excel on the job. Do not let your boss bring your personal commitments into the conversation redirect attention to the reality rather than the perception.Another thing you can do is find a mentor. According to Bucy, a mentor who is considered a strong team member can help you figure out the best approach for working harmoniously with your boss.However, a mentor is also beneficial for other reasons. According to Autumn Manning, co-founder and CEO of YouEarnedIt, As a woman, its important to find people in leadership positions that not only have formal authority over your role, but people who can also be an advocate for you, offer perspective, give you real feedback, and most importantly, encourage you to step into opportunity when they see it.Manning warns that a boss who only looks at your title or your level of experience isnt necessarily considering your potential. However, when someone sees the passion, the intuition, the skills and knowledge you bring, and what you can do for the team regardless of formal title, then theres something special there, she concludes.So, how do you get the boss to look past your flaws and consider what you could add to the company?According to Findlay-Shirras, you must get your boss and coworkers to want you to succeed. The top performers at a company can literally MAKE a person successful. Therefore, you need them to support you.Therefore, he says you need to be the type of person that they want to keep even if your performance doesnt merit it. Work hard, be a champion of culture, ask questions, and show that you want to improve, Findlay-Shirras explains. And you can buy more time until your performance improves.This article first appeared on Fairygodboss.

37% of workers would leave their job if not offered this essential tool

37% of workers would leave their job if not offered this essential tool37% of workers would leave their job if not offered this essential toolA new report shows that theres a skills-training gap in many U.S. workplaces. Employees who need training on various skills arent getting it, and employees who want training on various skills arent getting it either. This all, of course, affects internal advancement and building yourself as a mora desirable candidate when it comes to looking for your next job.The report, called Future of Work and Employee Learning, was from the Sitel Group, a customer experience management company.Follow Ladders on FlipboardFollow Ladders magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and moreThe most surprising finding was this a full37% of employees would leave their job if they werent offered training.And yet,92% of employees say that learning something new at work makes them more motivated and engaged so employers would do well do offer as much training and new opportunities to skill up as they can.In addition30% of employees say they have avoided asking their employer for training on a certain skill because it would make them look bad46% of employees believe their employer penalizes them for not having certain skills at their job.79% say that when looking for a job, it was important that the employer offers a formal training program to their employeesThere is a training gap, Aaron Schwarzberg, COO at Learning Tribes USA, part of the Sitel Group, told Ladders. Employees arent necessarily aya how to ask for their employers to address that gap. There is an issue of employees needing additional training, additional resources, additional support and theyre not a hundred percent sure how to ask for it.Employers need to step upThe responsibility, he says, lies with the employers. I think its incumbent upon the employers to take responsibility for the dynamic and to provide comprehensive learning an d development for employees, Schwarzberg said. He suggests that employers reach out to employers to proactively find out and uncover what additional services and needs there are by conducting research and internal studies, for example.In the report, it was found that 51% of employers dont offer soft skills training. And while 33% of employees say they have had training on technology skills, only 17% say theyve had management skills training.When looking for a new job, candidates should be explicitly asking prospective employers about what training they offer employees.Thats one thing that employees should frankly feel very comfortable asking their prospective employer, Schwarzberg told Ladders. The question can be asked directly What are they doing currently to invest in their employees? Its OK to make it an open-ended question because they more pointed employees make it, the easier it is on the employer to speak to the direct question asked versus speaking generally.Other questions could be, What are you currently doing right now to address development, to address training, learning, and development needs? and What practices are in place currently?If an employer spent a little time getting to know each candidate and their strengths and weaknesses, it would be a step in the right direction, said Schwarzberg. Nearly 35% of employees felt their employer did not take the time to get to know them in terms of their skills and how to help them advance.Without actually taking the time to ask someone what they need, or what resources they need, or where they feel that their gaps are, people feel powerless, they feel unimportant, they feel like a cog in the wheel versus an important piece of the puzzle to each organization.You might also enjoyNew neuroscience reveals 4 rituals that will make you happyStrangers know your social class in the first seven words you say, study finds10 lessons from kleine Franklins daily schedule that will double your productivityThe worst mistakes you can make in an interview, according to 12 CEOs10 habits of mentally strong people

Top 10 YouTube Channels for Job Seekers to Watch in 2019

Top 10 YouTube Channels for Job Seekers to Watch in 2019 Top 10 YouTube Channels for Job Seekers to Watch in 2019 You might be surprised to learn that YouTube is such an awesome resource for job seekers looking to learn more about the job search. Many of the top career experts and strategists have channels dedicated to helping job seekers succeed. Everything from resume writing to interview questions to mastering the perfect handshake can be found within the confines of YouTube. However, weve all experienced the YouTube black hole (probably while searching for cat videos). With so many channels available, its just hard to know where to start.When I set out to put this list together, I wanted to highlight a range of YouTube channels for all different types of job seekers. Whether you like a fun, upbeat vibe or a college course-like energy, I wanted to make sure you could get top-notch advice from real professionals in the industry.Top Ten Youtube Channels for Job Seekers to Watch in 2 0191) Job Hunting SecretsThe visual appeal of the videos on the Job Hunting Secrets YouTube channel is the first thing youll notice when you land on the homepage.

One really unique part of Lindas channel is the video series she creates. For example, the 5-week series, How to Recruit a Good Job Candidate, geared toward recruiters and hiring managers. These videos are released every few day s and act like an online course (for free). While this particular series isnt directed at job seekers, the concept is genius.3) Speed Up My Job SearchThis YouTube channel goes into the nitty-gritty details that many others fail to mention, like search engine optimization for your resume and the possible pitfalls of using a LinkedIn resume. There is a wide selection of videos focusing on a range of categories, including job search tips, LinkedIn advice, and tips for landing a management job. One thing I love about this YouTube channel is the variety of speakers. Every video is not run by the same career expert, rather, there are several speakers who focus on their respective specialties. Among these speakers are Founder and IT Headhunter, Paul Cameron and Jim Fergle, Job Search Strategist, 4) Andrew LaCivitaRecruitment Executive and Career Coach (Extraordinaire), Andrew LaCivita, pours all of his knowledge and passion for the job search industry into his YouTube channel.

It has a heavy focus on the perspective and opinions of the recruiter, which is an awesome point of view to pay attention to as a job seeker.7) Self Made MillennialThe Self Made Millennial YouTube channel is the un-stuffiest, most down-to-earth job search channel you will find, and I love it. Dont let the bright colors or playful facial expressions on each video of founder, Madeline Mann, make you think this channel doesnt mean business, though Mann offers tons of videos on valuable topics that we havent seen covered anywhere else (like what to do when an interviewer mispronounces your name). This channel doesnt only focus on the job search, but on how to be happy at your current job and go after the success that you want.8) JobSearchTV.co mFormerly TheBigGameHunterTV, JobSearchTV.com offers hiring advice and job search advice.

The Reality of Hiring a Career Professional

The Reality of Hiring a Career Professional Hiring a Career Professional The Reality of Hiring a Career Professional Say youve been laid off for a while now and are just not getting many bites on your resume. Or youve decided, now that the economy is starting to pick up, youll see what opportunities are out there. Have you wondered if hiring a career coach, a resume writer, a career consultant, or an interview coach could help you? Here are a few misconceptions that come along with hiring someone to improve your job search: 1. Assuming you dont have to do anything: Its fairly common for people to think: Ive hired someone to write my resume/figure out which jobs would be a good fit for me, so I can just kick back and wait to hear from them. Definitely not! The professional you hired is only as good as what you give him/her. You need to be prepared to do a great deal of work to uncover and flesh out your career story. This can be an arduous process a point you didnt think was very important could be a key element in the career professional's opinion, and you you'd have to come up with details to make it a highlighted accomplishment or a key career moment to discuss in your interviews. It will be especially challenging if its been more than a couple of years since your last resume update. Or, if looking at various directions to take, the details of what youve done in your entire career will be helpfulthink beyond your resume. Also, you never want to hand over control of your job search; this is your life and your careerretain the ownership of it! While the person you want to hire has expert advice that will greatly benefit you, the fact remains that you know yourself best. If they suggest something that doesnt resonate with you, communicate your concerns. Really hear the explanations they have for their choices, and decide if that works for you. 2. Expecting it to be a silver bullet: This is more insidious than the first assumption. With this, there is this idea that If I have a professionally written resume or an expert guiding my job search, Ill get a job in no time! While a well-written resume, good answers to common interview questions, and a strategy that targets positions and companies are important parts of a job hunt, they dont magically get you a job. You still need to network, develop rapport, show how you can enhance a companys ability to meet its goals and fit in with the existing team, etc. What it boils down to is this: Even if you have the best resume imaginable and the perfect answers to interview questions, they wont hire you if they dont like you. 3. Not doing enough research to make sure youre hiring the right person: Once youve determined that yes, you want to hire a career professional, you then have the task of deciding who to hire. That can be rather overwhelming. Some criteria to consider are: Credentials/degrees of the professional Their membership in a professional organization Your preference for a practitioner who focuses on one specific aspect of the job hunt (e.g. resume writing, interview preparation) or someone who can work with you through every part of the process Your preference for someone who specializes in a particular field or demographic vs. someone who provides services for an array of clients, fields, and industries And then there is the personality factor how well do you connect with this person who is crafting your professional history and giving you advice? If its a poor fit, youll end up second-guessing everything the person says and does, and likely, rejecting the work done. Not exactly a good use of time and money, is it? Before making a commitment, talk with the career professionals to get a feel for personality and the processes they use. See if they have recommendations and samples of completed, successful work. Ask if its possible to talk with past clients. And, remember to read the contract carefully so you know exactly what the parameters of the agreement are. Hiring a career professional can be a positive experience if you know what to expect from it!

Meet TIC, the New Bonus Meet TIC, the New Bonus In related news, in case you're one of the few who still believe that TICs and YEPs had nothing to do with the death of Wall Street, the Journal of the same name today reported on a study in which 98 percent of the participating banks conceded that TICs and YEPs were indeed part of the reason the words depression and repression have become part of your daily lexicon. Andjust in ...in news that might have Pandit and Lewis a little less confident about keeping their topposts, President Obama, not long after forcing out GM's CEO Rick Wagoner, has issued an ultimatum to GM and Chrysler that might just end up knocking the Big Three down to the Big'un (Ford). Speaking of Ford,the Motor City and Obama, although three of the president's four Final Four picks have been eliminated from the NCAA Tournament, North Carolina is still alive, and the Tarheels to win it all at Ford Field a week from today looks to be darn good bet (though, if I was putting down what's left of my 401(k), I'd put it on green: the Spartans, in their back yard, will be tough to beat).

Whats the best way to list certifications on your salesman CV?If you really want your certifications to catch the eye of the hiring manager, you should create a separate section for these professional achievements. The salesman CV sample gives a great example of how to create this type of section. Of course, if you only have one certification, you could always include with your education alongside your degrees and diplomas. If you got the special training at a job, you could even choose to list this achievement with your experience.2. How do you write a summary statement for a salesman CV?The summary statement gives employers a quick look at your professional history. This opening statement often serves as a 30-second sales pitch to convince recruiters to continue reading. In the past, your professional document may have started with an objective statement. However, most hiring managers prefer to see a summary statement.You can choose to write your summary statement in a paragraph format or, as the salesman C V sample shows, in a list. Either way, this section should point out your most important skills, achievements, and experiences.3. How do you list awards on your salesman CV?Awards show above-normal achievements, so its no surprise that you should try to emphasize these accolades. The writer of the salesman CV sample created a special awards section to make this information stand out. As you can see, he mentioned the name and nature of the award as well as when he received it. You could also list awards in your experience section.4. What sections should you include in your salesman CV?You should tailor your CV to the job youre trying to get, so you may switch up the information you include in the document. As a rule of thumb, you should try to include the most pertinent information in every draft of your CV. This includes personal details, summary statement, work history, achievements, education, and hobbies or interests. To get ideas of other sections you may want to include, read t hrough the salesman CV sample one more time.5. How do you list references on a salesman CV?If you have ever written a resume, you likely realize that most hiring managers dont want to see references listed on your professional document. However, CVs often have different requirements. Still, this information does not have to show up on your document unless specifically asked for by an employer. You can choose to give a references list if you think it will help set you apart from the competition because you have impressive industry-related ties.No matter why you want this section on your document, you should try to include the name of the reference, your professional affiliation, and a good contact number or email address. While the salesman CV sample doesnt show how to include a reference list, you can get step-by-step instructions for every part of your CV by using our resume builder.More CV Samples:Salesman CV Science Teacher CV Secretary CV

Need Help with Your Job Search Consider a Career Coach

Need Help with Your Job Search Consider a Career Coach Need Help with Your Job Search Consider a Career Coach Laumeister offers an example:  say youre a  CMO at an ecommerce company and another ecommerce company wants to hire you.  Theyll pay you more and its a better environment. In that situation, it’s pretty obvious that you face a good opportunity. Rarely in today’s world is it that simple, Laumeister says. A lot of times it means taking a risk, like going to a smaller company, getting more responsibility, or trading cash for equity - all these issues [can] come into play. In situations like these, Laumeister believes job seekers at all levels can benefit from career coaches. A special thank you goes out to this month’s Leadership Sponsor,  Zoho Recruit. Please visit their site to understand how their quality services can elevate your recruitment practices. But First What Is It? Most of us are familiar with the concept of  workplace mentors and/or advisors, but Laumeister is quick to point out that career coaches perform a very different function. A career coach is someone who’s professionally trained to help candidates achieve their goals, and sometimes that requires figuring out what those goals are, he says. The coach is focused on surfacing what your goals are in your career and helping you achieve them. They help you discover what you’re looking for, and then execute a process to get you there. According to Laumeister, career coaches can  discover job seekers  strengths and teach them how to articulate those strengths to prospective employers, but theyre  especially adept at helping job seekers understand their  weaknesses. It’s hard to really look at yourself in a mirror and say, I’m not good at something, to have that self-awareness, Laumeister says. A career coach is trained to figure that out. Of course, communicating someones flaws  in a constructive way requires a deft touch. The best career coaches can turn weaknesses into opportunities for growth. They’re trained in how to communicate it  to the candidate in such a way that the candidate doesn’t get defensive; they don’t put up a wall, but rather they embrace that change and start to work on addressing those issues, Laumeister says. Do You Need a Career Coach? Frankly, if people can afford it, I think everyone would benefit from [career coaching], Laumeister says. But not everyone has career coaching in the budget. So, who really needs to  set aside the money and invest in a career coach? As mentioned above,  job seekers who are considering riskier moves might want to get in touch with a career coach for extra guidance. Laumeister also believes that  career coaches are an especially good idea for young candidates who are entering the workforce for the first time. When they’re looking for their first job, they don’t really understand the hiring process. They don’t understand what people are looking for, Laumeister says. So they go in, they tell their story, they’re all excited, but then they don’t get the job and they don’t know why. A lot of career coaches have backgrounds in recruiting and HR, so they can help young job seekers (and anyone else frustrated by the somewhat mysterious world of job hunting) navigate the at-times complicated hiring process. Career coaches can say, This is what you need to present, this is how you need to present it, and this is what employers are looking for when they’re hiring somebody. Laumeister says. Just having that view of the other side of the table is incredibly valuable. You can guess at it, but it’s really hard to get on your own. How  Can You Find One? Laumeister believes the Internet has made tracking down the right career coach much, much easier than it used to be. Typically, in the old days, it was word of mouth: You asked a friend and they asked a friend and they knew a guy, Laumeister says. But there was no guarantee that your friends friends career coach was the right fit for you. That person may have been great for your friend and not so good for you, Laumeister says. They may have a different industry focus or a different level of job. Now, places like Laumeisters CoachMarket exist. Job seekers can look through databases of coaches and find the ones who are best suited to address their specific needs. Laumeister stresses the importance of vetting career coaches before deciding on one. It’s really important to follow a process, to find someone you’re comfortable with, he says.

Internal Audit Hiring and Salary Trends

Internal Audit Hiring and Salary Trends Internal Audit Hiring and Salary Trends The outlook for the internal audit profession over the next several years is bright. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projects that employment for internal auditing professionals will grow 10 percent between 2016 to 2026 - faster than the average for all occupations. And Robert Half’s latest Salary Guide lists internal auditor as one of the hottest roles in the accounting and finance field today. One reason demand for internal auditors, including those who work on a consulting basis, is so strong is that many organizations across industries are growing - and launching new revenue-generating initiatives. While these pursuits create opportunity, they also can invite risk that internal auditors must help the business to assess and monitor. Another driver for internal audit hiring is globalization, which the BLS says is helping to fuel demand for skills and services related to international trade and mergers and acquisitions. The complex and continually evolving regulatory compliance environment is yet another factor. Businesses need internal audit professionals with expertise in risk and compliance to help them meet diverse mandates. Internal auditor salary trends Many businesses in the United States are stepping up the level of compensation they offer to highly skilled internal auditors to help ensure they can recruit and retain these in-demand specialists. Here’s a look at the midpoint starting salaries for the internal audit positions that are listed in the 2019 Robert Half Salary Guide for Accounting and Finance Professionals: Chief audit executive: $175,250 Internal audit manager: $112,750 Internal auditor (senior): $87,250 Internal auditor (1-3 years of experience): $71,000 Internal auditor (up to 1 year of experience): $46,250 To determine internal auditor salary levels in your area, use our Salary Calculator. ACCESS THE CALCULATOR In-demand credentials According to the Salary Guide, many businesses seek to hire internal auditors who possess credentials such as: Certified Internal Auditor (CIA), offered by The Institute of Internal Auditors (The IIA) Certified Public Accountant (CPA) Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) Many employers also look for professionals with a master of business administration (MBA), the Salary Guide reports. For candidates, possessing in-demand certifications and advanced degrees not only can help them to further their careers as internal auditors, but also earn higher compensation. Wanted: both technical and soft skills To succeed in a management position in internal audit, professionals need proficiency and experience with common job functions, including: Examining financial statements for accuracy Ensuring conformance with laws and regulations Making recommendations on best practices for financial operations Suggesting ways to increase efficiency and control costs Reporting and addressing risk management issues Changes in technology - including the growing use of data analytics in internal audit - are also having an impact on the mix of skills that functions need to succeed, according to the 2018 Internal Audit Compensation Study Executive Report from The IIA and Robert Half, which was authored by Robert Half senior executive director Paul McDonald. And research by Protiviti, a Robert Half subsidiary, also underscores the important role data analytics will play in the future of internal audit profession. The global consulting firm's 2018 Internal Audit and Capabilities and Needs Survey report, Analytics in Auditing Is a Game Changer, stresses that audit leaders need to expand internal audit's knowledge of sophisticated data analytics so that the function can make the most of these capabilities. Still, technical skills are only part of the equation: A solid range of in-demand soft skills and attributes, including communication abilities and traits like integrity and diplomacy, are often equally important for career success in the internal audit field today.

When you should help your coworkers and when to think twice

When you should help your coworkers â€" and when to think twice When you should help your coworkers - and when to think twice When was the last time you helped a colleague at work?Helping in the workplace can take various forms- for example, training an intern, comforting a colleague in distress, or taking on extra work to complete a team project.Follow Ladders on Flipboard!Follow Ladders’ magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and more!If your organization has a competitive work culture- or if you’re anything like the  35 percent  of working Americans who feel overwhelmed by their workload- helping others in the workplace may not be at the top of your priority list. However, research suggests that more helpful workplaces actually perform better; they produce  better-quality products  and have  increased sales. And helping others at work feels good.If you can’t recall the last time you lent a hand to a coworker, the three questions below may help you start thinking about your interactions at work and how you could be of more service to others in the wo rkplace.1. When are you most likely to help others at work?Are you more likely to help when a colleague  asks  you for help (called reactive helping) or when you perceive the need for help without being asked (proactive helping)?Surprisingly, proactive helping can sometimes be problematic. A  recent study  surveyed 51 employees from diverse industries on their proactive and reactive helping behaviors. They rated how much they helped coworkers make progress, deal with problems, or avoid potential problems either without being asked or when their coworkers explicitly requested help.The study found that when people engaged in reactive helping- helping when asked- they received more gratitude. In turn, the helpers perceived that they had a greater impact and felt more engaged at work the next day. Put simply, reactive helpers felt good after helping.But that wasn’t the case for proactive helpers. Proactive helpers didn’t receive as much gratitude, which seemed to diminish the psycho logical returns for them.Even the most altruistically motivated helper wants to feel good about the contribution they’re making, and the good feelings we get from reactive helping will encourage us to help in the future.This doesn’t mean we should never offer proactive help- but it has to be done carefully. Rather than jumping in and fixing something, you can help a colleague come up with their own solutions. Even better, you can encourage reactive helping by communicating to colleagues that you’re willing to help if needed, increasing the likelihood that they will ask for help directly.2. Why do you help others at work?Motivation is a key driving force of behavior. The first step in understanding how you help others is to get clear on what motivates you.A  2014 study  provides some insight on why motives matter. The study surveyed 174 professionals, from diverse industries, about their helping behaviors in the workplace. Respondents were asked about how much they helped fello w colleagues by sharing work-related knowledge, helping with work problems, explaining a regulation or procedure, or helping a colleague after they were absent.They found that how much people helped depended on their motivation. Individuals who reported altruistic motives- based on personal values or a desire to contribute to the team- helped  more  than employees who reported helping others under specific conditions (if it wouldn’t interfere with their work, the person asking for help was perceived to be worthy, or they had the knowledge and skills to help).People motivated by altruism are  less concerned  with their reputation and status when helping others. They help because they believe it’s the right thing to do, even if there’s a personal cost in doing so, like lost time.If your reasons for helping others in the past have been less altruistic, be on the lookout for the next opportunity to support your work team. Then, try focusing more on making a meaningful contribution to the group and less on the benefits you hope to gain. It will take some pressure off of you, and chances are you’ll be appreciated anyway (because your helping signals to the group your motivation to  contribute to the common good).3. Whom do you tend to help at work?Think back to the last several people you helped at work. Who were they?Chances are they shared many characteristics with you, like race, gender, or socioeconomic status.  Research  shows that homophily, the tendency to connect to people who are similar to us, structures our social networks at work. As a result, your helping may be restricted to a homogenous group of work colleagues, limiting your efforts.In fact, research suggests that people are less helpful in more diverse work groups. A  2009 study  of 1,762 employees from a large electronics company in Korea, representing 96 separate work units, found that in more diverse groups (in terms of gender and education), respondents observed fewer of the following be haviors among coworkers: 1) going out of their way to help others with work problems, 2) showing genuine concern and courtesy toward others, and 3) voluntarily helping new employees settle into the job.In addition to homophily, this pattern is likely linked to  intergroup bias, as well. Intergroup bias causes us to subconsciously evaluate those who are similar to us more favorably than those who are not- for example, when determining the perceived worthiness of someone who needs our help. Or when deciding who is trustworthy, which also greatly impacts our likeliness to help others.One way to break this subconscious pattern is to expand your work network to be inclusive of those who are different from you and to be cognizant of your personal biases that may come into play when making decisions at work.  Practicing mindfulness is a good starting point.While many efforts to boost workplace productivity today focus on increasing employee satisfaction and well-being, helping merits more attention. Helping could be the missing link that explains why employees in a better mood perform better- happier employees are more likely to help others, and workplaces with helping cultures see better employee performance.

How to Answer the Question Tell Me About a Time You Failed How to Answer the Question Tell Me About a Time You Failed 1 Here is some advice on how job seekers can handle this challenge and skillfully answer the question, Tell me about a time you failed: Don’t use a transparent “spin.” Since the failure question has come to be almost an expected part of a tough interview, some candidates brace themselves for it by planning an answer that’s in reality a thinly veiled success or attribute, rather than risk sharing a negative memory. An example of this type of interview spin is saying, “My biggest failure on the job is that I’m just such a perfectionist that I work too hard!” While this may satisfy some interviewers, many won’t let you off the hook quite that easily. If you’re being asked to tell about a time that you failed, then the hiring team is looking to see how you handle adversity and move beyond it. If you can thoughtfully choose a situation that allows you to demonstrate this, instead of sugarcoating what’s in essence a false response, then you’ll have an opportunity to: Focus on what you learned. The key to discussing a question about failure is centering much of your answer on concrete lessons that you gained from the experience. After sharing an honest (but not overly egregious) workplace flop in which you participated, your goal should be to segue quickly to reflecting on your learnings. This is your chance to show your capacity for growth and highlight areas where you plan to improve going forward. If you can end your answer on a high note, with the hiring team focused on your resilience and determination to do things better based on the experience that you gained from the failure, then you’ve nailed it. Use failure to show character. It’s often said that one’s character is forged in tough times, not when circumstances are smooth sailing. It’s easier to do the right thing when everything is going right. With this in mind, you can use your response to the failure question to showcase specific traits that you’d like to emphasize in relation to your work, such as tenacity, determination, and a growth-oriented mindset. It may initially feel awkward and uncomfortable to trot out an instance where you weren’t at your best. But if you tackle this interview question smartly, you can leave the interviewers with a favorable impression of how well you conduct yourself under pressure and adversity.
