How I Broke the Rules Found My Perfect Job Â

How I Broke the Rules Found My Perfect Job How I Broke the Rules Found My Perfect Job My Biggest Career Regret I Wish I Could Go Back and Change Have you ever had a tough time finding a job? I can relate. This is my story of overcoming a difficult situation, in a down market, at a rough time in our countrys history. I recently had the opportunity to share my story as a TEDx Talk in Worthington, Ohio and Im very excited to share it with you here today.Close your eyes for a moment. Imagine Its 1997 and Im entering college. The internet is still a brand new thing, and we are in the middle of the dot-com boom. Companies like AOL are just coming into their own, and sending out these amazing floppy disks with one hundred free minutes to try their internet tafelgeschirr over a fast dial-up connection. I have a computer before my friends, and I wait for those free disks to come in the mail. The sound the dial-up modem makes gives me goosebumps when it connects Startups are popping up everywhere, and getting huge investments is easy. Young kids, about my age, are getting funding for companies, and have mora money than they know what to do with.I love computers. I go to college to learn mora about them and all about the internet. I study computer and systems engineering at a small engineering school in Upstate New York. The degree is like a combination of computer science and electrical engineering. I learn to solder parts together, to build websites, and to code in so many different programming languages, including FORTRAN 77, C, and HTML. Its the perfect degree. It guarantees me a job when I graduate. But, notlage only that. It guarantees me a great paying jobWell, that welches all true, until about halfway through my pricey private school education, when things change completely. The dot-com crash happens, and the dot-com boom is over. Suddenly, all of the recruiters that normal ly come to our college to recruit for new jobs cancel their visits. leid only do they cancel, but the positions theyre hiring for are gone too Looking for a job online is still very new, and securing one typically comes from meeting recruiters in person. I search at job fairs and through personal contacts. In fact, it will be close to ten years until many of the job sites like Glassdoor are born. Im panicked. The job market has completely changed, and Im not even the best student to begin with. My classmates are the ones with perfect SATs and straight As - not me I wonder how in the world Ill survive. In a number of my computer programming courses, Im always the one who helps to manage the team and to create our presentation materials. Writing computer code feels difficult to me. Thats why I help with the presentation materials or, so I think. During our senior year, one of our professors asks us to write a story about someone who has impacted us during school, and to my surprise , one of my super smart computer whiz classmates writes about me. He says I have a special skill for bringing people together, and for making our projects make sense. Its sohonigweinhing I never expected to hear and have never considered. Its not necessarily that I am bad at one thing. Maybe Im just good at something else.And, with that, I started to look for alternative career paths . How could I get around this job crisis and the stock market crash? How could I minimize the impact of the dot-com implosion? What could I do other than computer programming? What transferrable skills did I have?I applied for a project management job with a little logistics company that goes by the name of FedEx . You may have heard of it They flew me to their headquarters for a job interview. But, when I arrived, I learned that they had also flown in two other people - at the same time - even though there was just one job opening. I remember meeting the other candidates, and feeling in total di sbelief that a job interview could be structured this way. It was like interview to the death, or some kind of weird gladiator movie.The night before, I re-read the job description and found something Id missed. The job required an MBA. Not optional REQUIRED. I went from feeling scared when I arrived to feeling completely embarrassed. Not only were the other two candidates almost twice my age, but they both had MBAs and extensive work experience The night before the big interviews, we all ate together at a local Memphis barbecue restaurant. They used MBA business jargon Id never even heard before. It was like they were speaking in another language. Why in the world would such a big, impressive company pay money to fly me in for an interview? I wondered if they were going to laugh at me and send me back to New York when they realized their mistake. I decided to give it a shot, because after all, what did I really have to lose? I did my best, and afterward, I headed back to the air port to fly home, expecting to never hear from them again. Then, suddenly, while I was still in the Memphis airport terminal, I got a phone call. It was the hiring manager and he was calling to offer me the job Looking back, I was a good fit within the organization. And, lets best honest - I was definitely the cheapest. But, the thing that really surprised me was that the company asked us math problems during the interview in front of a panel of judges. We actually had to work out the problems while other people looked on. One was a Venn diagram question. Assuming that a certain number of customers shipped with FedEx and a handful of other variables, how many people might ship with FedEx and some other company? Of the three of us, I was the only one that got the math problems right It turns out engineering school really is good for something. The thing I learned from this experience is that the rules we see out in the world arent always rules. Sometimes theyre just suggestions or g uidelines. But, if you dont push those boundaries, youll never know which things are rules and which are more flexible. Requirements on a job description arent always really required. And, the job market isnt always what you expect, but youve got to try anyway.Rules we see out in the world arent always rules.Requirements on a job description arent always really required. What Im saying is - I can relate to the challenging job market were all facing today. For the first time in the modern era, more adults under the age of 35 are living with their parents than are living with romantic partners. I live in downtown Memphis and last year I started seeing some new signs for apartments in my neighborhood. But, they werent the normal signs about the cost or the number of bedrooms. They were about the benefits of living in your own apartment rather than living in your parents house. One said, Lets be honest. Your parents wont move out first.But, it makes sense that new graduates are struggl ing to find their own place in the world. The average price for college tuition was over $33k a year last year for a private school and over $9k for a state school. Baby Boomers are holding onto their jobs for as long as possible, leaving only a limited number of good jobs for new college graduates. In fact, only half of 30-year-olds are making more than their parents did at their age. This is a huge drop from the 1970s when over 90% of people were making more than their parents.So, what can we do about this? Heres an example. I recently spoke to a hiring manager who was having a hard time getting applications for a particular job posting. Hed been advised to put everything he could possibly want into one job description, to make it as open-ended as possible. So, he did. The job description included things like absatzwirtschaft skills, selling skills, technology skills, customer service skills, computer programming skills, and internet-related skills. If you read the job description , you might think they were looking for a computer engineer with a MBA in marketing, and experience in sales, digital marketing, and technology. Thats pretty specific, and a lot to ask for in one person When I shared the job description with a few candidates who would have been great, they all said the same thing. Im not comfortable applying because Im not qualified. Ironically, the hiring manager would have happily taken someone who met seventy or eighty percent of the job description - if theyd only applied. And, speaking of that FedEx job I got that I was completely underqualified for - I took it and worked at the company, with the great benefits and the 401-K and healthcare, for three years before quitting my job to go to business school. I received quite a bit of discouragement from the usual suspects who said, Why would you quit? You have such a good job For many of those in my parents and grandparents generation, the responsible thing to do was to stay at a job for twenty or thirty years, until you were of retirement age. Then, youd be set forever. It was the right thing to do. But, today, employees only stay with one company for three to five years. If you stay at a company too long, your future hiring manager may wonder if your skillset is out of date or if youre not very ambitious. Theres even been a study thats shown that those who dont switch jobs frequently enough will make less over the lifetime of their career. Forbes estimated this number to be fifty percent less. Fifty percent But, if you think about it, logically, it makes sense. If you stay at one company, youre likely to receive a two or three percent raise each year. But, if you switch companies, you may negotiate your pay up ten percent, twenty percent, or even fifty percent in one switch. I can personally attest to this. Twice, Ive negotiated my salary up over fifty percent, and once, I doubled my salary.This is a great incentive to never stop looking for a job And, because turn over is so high, its also an incentive for companies to spend less time and energy training their current employees. This again puts the burden back on you - to take the reins of your own career - to pursue your own education and your own training. Dont wait for your company to train you. Dont assume that will happen. Other people will reisepass you by who are developing their own skills, on their own.If you stay at one company, youre likely to receive a two or three percent raise each year. But, if you switch companies, you may negotiate your pay up ten percent, twenty percent, or even fifty percent in one switchThis is a great incentive to never stop looking for a jobThis is exactly why I quit my job to pursue my MBA - that, and to interfere with my own career path yet again. I originally planned to take twenty months to complete my degree, but ended up finishing in fifteen months. By graduation, I was given a number of great job offers, including one that paid twice what I w as making before starting graduate school. This sounds really fantastic, right? In theory, yes. BUT, it was twice as much to do the same exact type of job Id had before. I didnt quit my job and go back to graduate school to make twice as much money, doing the exact same job as before, just for a different company Im ambitious, and frankly, that would have been boring. I wanted to move into a new department, and go up the corporate ladder . Can you guess what I did? Yep. I turned down every job offer. This was incredibly scary because I wasnt working, and I didnt know how Id pay the rent. But, I had faith in my abilities. If I could complete school early, I could have a little time to think about what Id want to do for work, if I didnt have to do anything. This decision honestly worried me every day for a very long time, and I kept a copy of that big offer letter nearby and would look at it when I was feeling uncertain about things. Then the strangest thing happened. I ended up lea rning about a new field called digital marketing. I knew how to build websites, and I had a pretty decent sense for marketing. I became an affiliate marketer. Its the kind of marketing where you promote products online for other companies and earn a commission on their sales. I sold a lot of shoes for this website Zappos.com. After doing this for myself for a while, I built up enough knowledge and experience to land a full-time digital marketing position on my own. It was a game changer. I became a director of digital marketing at a well-known home services company, and later, a vice president at a large bank In todays career environment, you dont get bonus points for waiting for your boss to tell you youre good enough. Dont wait And, dont let the fear of failure stop you from trying something new. As someone once said, Formal education will make you a living. Self-education will make you a fortune. Ironically, the interference I experienced going from engineer to project manager to digital marketing executive led me to an entirely new career path. It turns out, I really like interviewing for all kinds of jobs and at all sorts of companies. You might call it an obsession. In fact, I once snuck into a graduate school where I didnt go and posed as a student there in order to get a job interview. When word got out about my passion, I started being asked to help other people find their new career paths as a career coach . Now, I get a chance to see inside the secret process that were all in the middle of. And, do you know what makes some job seekers the most successful in their search? They dont wait for permission, and they never assume a company isnt interested in them, or that theyre not qualified.Do you know what makes some job seekers the most successful in their search? They dont wait for permission, and they never assume a company isnt interested in them, or that theyre not qualified.Let me leave you with this. Finding your path isnt going to be easy . Its not going to be straightforward, and it may take a while to put the pieces together. In fact, youll likely find that youll always be working to put in another piece along the way. But, it is absolutely worth it to take a risk and interfere with your own path to find something that you truly love.

How theSkimm cofounders combat burnout and imposter syndrome

How theSkimm cofounders combat burnout and imposter syndromeHow theSkimm cofounders combat burnout and imposter syndromeDanielle Weisberg and Carly Zakin launched theSkimm newsletter in 2012 from the couch of their West Village apartment with only $4,000 to their names. Since then, theSkimm brand has added an app, an expanded website, and now, a book. On June 10, in the same city that it all began, the cofounders kicked off the How to Skimm Your Life Night Out book tour.The night out consisted of one hilarious conversation with model Ashley Graham. Ladders was there to catch all the specific, real, and pointed advice that every Millennial and Gen Zer needs to hear.Danielle Weisberg and Carly Zakin delete their email appWeisberg and Zakin are Millennial entrepreneurs, so obviously theyre pretty much constantly tied to their emails, but notlage on vacations. When theSkimm cofounders take a break, they really take a break. From everything.Much to Grahams disbelief (and slight appall), Z akin admitted that she simply deletes her email app from her phone while on vacation and even sometimes on weekends.Follow Ladders on FlipboardFollow Ladders magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and moreIts so amazing, Zakin said. The people that you work with have your phone number, so if its something where you need to be reached, youre still reachable.The cofounders admit that they were completely burnt out the first two years that they launched theSkimm, but dont regret one second of it. In fact, they encourage entrepreneurs to work through it.We had to do that, it was on us, Weisberg said. This was something that we were creating.But in this time of feeling like you always need to be busy to feel important, Weisberg urges you to learn the difference between working hard for an outcome and working hard to fill an agenda.Recognize that there are times where its going to be like that in your careerthere are going to be moments wh ere you have to put everything you have into that, Weisberg said. Then there are moments where you feel like its a trend, or you feel like being busy equates to success.Additionally, the cofounders have made sure that theSkimm team doesnt get burnt out like they did during those first couple of years, encouraging team members to take one hour a week to go to therapy, do yoga, or take action on something else theyve been putting off.We talk about how taking one hour out of each week can make a big difference and its really not that important, youre not missing anything with that amount of time, Zakin said.Danielle Weisberg and Carly Zakin role-play before big meetings for theSkimmAgain, Weisberg and Zakin shocked Graham by admitting that they use role-playing to get ready for big meetings.Weisberg and Zakin will imagine scenarios and have conversations as other people in order to prepare for certain comments.When it comes to imposter syndrome, its a struggle the women have dealt with every step of the way.There is not a day that goes by that we dont have imposter syndrome, Zakin said. Wed never had a board meeting beforewed never had employees before, we never even had direct reports before this.Another way the women prepare for big meetings, especially meetings about money, is by creating scripts for themselves.We prefer to negotiate on the phone because well keep a script that shows what well say and it helps us, Zakin said. Its a confidence booster and it allows us to stay on point and not fall into traps.Finally, this was a practice Graham could relate to.Thats funny you make a script because I make a script, too, Graham said. I write out what I wantI even write out sentences that I know I want to say.Zakin and Weisberg agreed that having a partner throughout the whole project has made all the difference when it comes to imposter syndrome.Thankfully theres the two of us, Zakin said. We both dont freak out at the same time.You might also enjoyNew neuroscienc e reveals 4 rituals that will make you happyStrangers know your social class in the first seven words you say, study finds10 lessons from Benjamin 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

Are you neglecting this important health practice

Are you neglecting this important health practiceAre you neglecting this important health practiceTwo weeks ago on a Friday morning, I woke up with a problem. I could barely get out of bed. My lower back was locked with spasms.The weird part is that I dont know what caused my wrenched back. I work out twice a week with a personal trainer. We havent deviated from the usual exercises. Go figureSlowly, I crawled out of bed and did some slow stretches to loosen up. I took ibuprofen and hobbled around the house like a bent, old man. My son delighted in teasing me.A new beginningIt was difficult to get any artwork or writing done sitting down, as my back would get stiffer. To compensate, I used my standup desk to work. Still, I was uncomfortable.Its always hard to absprache with injuries mentally, but I like to think about it as a new beginning. I cant change what happened, so the focus needs to go toward healing and coming back stronger than before. Carli LloydThe following day, I gutted it out and showed up for my 11 AM workout at the gym. My trainer, Cody, watched my bent body limp into his office. He tilted his head to the right, sized up my situation and said, John go home.Ah, come on Cody, Im not a quitter, I protested. Maybe I can lie down and we can work on arms or something?Cody wouldnt have it. He knew it was too soon for any kind of workout and sent me home.Every cloud has a silver liningI dont do well with unplanned downtime. Maybe its my obsessive/ compulsive nature. Doing nothing feels like wasting time to me. Time I could spend writing, creating art, reading, exercising or getting other things done.I paid a visit to my doctor, and he prescribed a high dose of anti-inflamatories, as well as some heat therapy.Every cloud has a silver lining. My unwelcome back injury forced me to slow down and take it easy.We all know how important sleep is to our health. Plenty has been written about the restorative power of a good nights sleep. What often gets overloo ked, however, it the cousin of sleep. Namely, rest.Sleep alone is not enoughMedical doctor and author Matthew Edlund discovered something interesting after years of clinical research and hundreds of patients. He realized that people dont just suffer from lack of sleep. Theyre rest deprived, too.Think about your own busy life. All the responsibilities, appointments, commitments, deadlines and work stress. Our central nervous systems become overloaded, and sleep alone is not enough. We need to rejuvenate ourselves with adequate rest.My wrenched back forced me to slow down and rest. Resting allowed me to relax and think about my work, habits and goals. I realized that I have been pushing myself too hard, which explained why Ive felt burned out lately.Dr. Edlund penned a book titled The Power of Rest Why Sleep Alone Is Not Enough. A 30-Day Plan to Reset Your Body. In it, he identifies four areas of our lives where we need to employ active restPhysical restMental restSocial restSpiritual restGiving our bodies and minds time to rest is restorative. Social rest includes taking a break from parties, social commitments and the endless distractions of social media.The calm that comes from rest refreshes our spirit, and can help deepen our philosophical and/or religious perspectives.Rest is not idlenessMy back injury forced me to rest, but theres nothing stopping you from adopting active rest in your own life.Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summers day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time. John LubbockWhat feels initially like wasting time is actually a powerful health practice that can transform your life. Incorporating short naps into your day, quiet time to rest in your car, early morning meditation, long walks, a soothing bath and other restful practices will improve your health.You think you dont have time for these restful moments, but you do. Jus t shut that laptop and give Facebook a break. Or turn off the evening news and take a walk with your dogs.The path aheadMy back is on the mend. This unexpected time of rest benefited more than my spine. It helped me slow down, reevaluate my work schedule, and make some decisions about the path ahead.Do yourself a favor and learn from my wrenched back experience. Make time for active rest. Doing so will calm your spirit, improve your health, and hopefully prevent you from waking up with a wrenched backBefore you take a restIm John P. Weiss. Fine artist and writer.

Making the World a Safer Place

Making the World a Safer Place Across missions. Across domains. Across continents. Raytheon engineers are powering leading-edge technologies that help the U.S. military make the world a safer place. One of the biggest challenges in almost all industries today is achieving gender parity. Gender diversity provides huge benefits in the workplace. pWhile some industries have made significant advancements in gender diversity, some industries lag further behind... and the construction industry is well-known for being in the latter category. If someone says, construction workers, youll likely picture a group of men in yellow hard hats analyzing an architects plans or laying bricks on top of a scaffold. And men at work signs only help to reinforce this image.pThis stereotype is rooted in reality. When was the last time you actually spotted a woman on a construction site? Or hired a female plumber or carpenter? Your answer is most likely never. In fact, the Bureau of Labor Statisticsreports that only 3.4% of the total of 8.3 million construction employees are women.pBut the construction industry has a lot more to offer than steel-toed boots and hard hats, and it needs women to help advance the industry in this era of rapid change. Here are 5 reasons why women joining the workforce or looking to make a pivot should consider a career in construction.h21. Fuel Innovation/h2pNot only is diversity the socially and morally right thing to do, but it is also actually an excellent business strategy. pResearch presented in the Harvard Business Reviewshows that diverse teams develop more innovative ideas. This is further supported by a study conducted by Gallupon the wertzuwachs of gender-diverse teams versus single-gender teams, which found that the difference in backgrounds and perspectives led to better business performance and problem-solving. h22. Capitalize on Demand/h2pThe construction industry is currently experiencing a labor shortage. The industry itself is booming and projected to be one of the fastest-growing industries, with total spending projected to exceed $1.45 trillion in 2023/a. However, most construction companies are unable to meet the rising demand. pAccording to the Associated General Contractors of America/a, more than 80% of contractors are experiencing difficulties filling hourly craft positions that represent the bulk of the construction workforce.pAnd demand isnt limited to individual contributor roles. Given the industry boom, there are a number of open stable and high-paying roles (any project managers out there?) waiting for the right candidateh23. Leadership Opportunities/h2pAccording to the Bureau of Labor Statistics/a, women compose only 7.7% of the total 1 million managerial positions in construction.br/pBut given the highly collaborative nature of construction work, more women in leadership roles would help drive innovation and enhance productivity.Furthermore, as a woman in co nstruction in a leadership position, youd have the unique opportunity to drive change for the industry and make it a more attractive option for other women.h24. High-Income tauglichkeit/h2pSalaries for many skilled positions in construction are on the rise, making a construction career a prime choice for women looking for a high-paying job,pThe 2018 Construction Craft Salary Surveyconducted by the National Center for Construction Education and Research revealed that salaries for many skilled craft areas are increasing. Project managers and project supervisors topped the list at $92,523 and $88,355, respectively. The next set of highest-paying jobs include those of combo welders ($71,067), instrumentation technicians ($70,080), pipe welders ($69,222), power line workers ($68,262) and industrial electricians ($67,269). Of the 32 categories of workers in the survey, 19 positions earned an average salary of $60,000 or higher.h25. Sense of accomplishment/h2p The construction industry can give employees a unique sense of achievement. Yes, the job is stressful and the work can be demanding, but nothing beats the feeling of being able to build something from the ground up. pHow many professionals in other industries can point at a school, a hospital, or a skyscraper and say I helped build that?pThe construction industry has a long way to go in combating gender bias and supporting women in the workforce, but given the current demand for workers, theres no better time to zupflmmel up a sledgehammer (figurative or literal) and smash the gender stereotypes plaguing the construction industry.
