To gift or not to gift That is the workplace question

To blessing or not to blessing That is the working environment question To blessing or not to blessing That is the working environment question A large number of us are (belatedly) beginning to think:I'd prefer to get my chief (or partner) a present for these special seasons, yet what? I don't need it to seem as though I'm attempting to pick up my supervisor's kindness. In any case, I don't need just to give her some token 'something' that will look schmaltzy.What would I be able to get her?I'm going to give you a few things to consider, some of which may shock you.First, think about not giving a blessing now. Pause, and give them an important blessing later, after you have set aside some effort to consider and investigate. Neglectful blessings - those endowments purchased hurriedly because of custom or a sentiment of commitment - with no genuine individual speculation of time or reflection, come up short as well as impart a negative message. The blessing is by all accounts a spur of the moment demonstration and not a genuine articulation of appreciation. Such blessings do little to emphatically affect others.I've as of late began a fellowship with John Ruhlin, and he has composed a very provocative book entitled, Giftology, through which he has made me fully aware of the positive methods of giving endowments in business relationships.Unfortunately, in most work settings, the manner in which endowments are given (just as what is given and when they are given) fortify my negative perspective on endowments in the working environment â€" they are either token (without importance) or self-serving (a type of publicizing through logo-loaded things) or manipulative.One of the key focuses John makes is that a blessing has more effect when it isn't normal - when it shows up as an astonishment. Giving a present now (the Christmas season) won't shock anybody. Along these lines, pause â€" possibly until the second 50% of January.Secondly, as another option, keep in touch with them a note. An extraordinary a debt of gratitude is in order for being my chief note, however one where you set aside some effort to think about:What you need to state â€" what do you esteem about them (how they treat you others, what they do that makes your every day work simpler, character characteristics they have that you respect); how you need to state it â€" consider the words you use, pick them cautiously, perhaps even use a thesaurus to discover equivalent words of words you normally use; the manner in which the message is passed on â€" on the off chance that you resemble me (my penmanship is horrendous), you might need to type it and print it on decent paper; for other people, a pleasant written by hand note is unique; or incorporate an image that passes on part of the message.Next, take the time and exertion to discover them a blessing that they would appreciate. It might possibly be a thing â€" it could be an encounter (passes to an occasion or game they would truly like; gift voucher to a more pleasant café than they normally would pick. A really significant blessing is one that shows you took some time and exertion to get a blessing that would be important to them.Finally, spring the blessing on them at a time they wouldn't anticipate it (and watch their bliss filled, astounded response!).There is muc h more to state, and counsel to give about giving endowments well inside the setting of a business relationship. As opposed to rehash what has just been very much stated, go purchase Giftology by John Ruhlin. I genuinely question anybody will be disappointed.This article was initially distributed on Appreciation at Work.

According To Science, Your Next Job Just Got 2 Degrees Closer

According to Science, Your Next Job Just Got 2 Degrees Closer Thanks, Facebook! Social Network in a course by Hans Poldoja of Flickr In 1961, Stanley Milgram, a psychologist determined that we are connected to anyone on earth by just six degrees by conducting several experiments to examine the average path length for the (non-virtual) social networks of people in the United States. The project was coined the “small-world experiment.” In the experiment, Milgram sent letters to 300 randomly selected people in Nebraska and Kansas to one target person, a stockbroker in Boston. The letters could not be directly sent to the target, but had to be sent through someone they knew on a first-name basis who might know the stockbroker. Only 30% of the letters reached their target, but the research discovered that there were about six people connecting each participant to the target. Think of the concept as meeting a stranger and discovering you have a friend in common. As of today, the world has gotten smaller by nearly 2.5 degrees. A smaller world means your dream boss is that much more accessible, and your next job is th at much closer, IF you use your network to find your next job. Later social experiments revealed that you are much more likely to land a job through random acquaintances than through your close friends. You and your close friends all know the same people and share the same information. However, it is through random acquaintances that you can connect with people very far from your social circles. This is the principle in which LinkedIn was founded. It is why the introduction request feature was invented and what makes LinkedIn such an effective job search tool.   The degrees of separation have become smaller Neil deGrasse Tyson, an astrophysicist who has dedicated his career to improving America’s scientific literacy, stated that because of social networks like Facebook, separation is down to less than five degrees. In 2011 Facebook found that 92% of their users were just connected through five steps and the number has been decreasing.  According to the newest research released by Facebook in 2016, the degrees of separation are just 3.57. (This number only applies to active Facebook users which total about 1.59 billion people.) We are all closely linked and four (or less) handshakes could connect us to anyone on the planet. Hence why networking is the number one activity to dedicate yourself to when you want to accomplish something, especially job searching. We have constantly repeated T. Harv Eker’s famous quote: “Your net worth is your network.” We believe Eker’s words are worth repeating, because while he is talking about opportunity in general, networking has proven time and time again not just to be the best way to land a job, but to land the job you want.   Your next job is closer than you think A connection at the employers you want to work for may be only a few degrees of separation away through a social network such as Facebook. In fact, it is possible to use Facebook and Twitter to quickly land your next job. Think about it: If you can potentially meet anyone on the planet through fewer than 3.6 degrees of separation, it is possible to make the connections that will help you land faster. These facts are kind of mind-blowingâ€" the world’s population has increased by hundreds of millions, but the world has gotten almost 50% smaller thanks to technology!   Nurture your networks Your connections consist of family, friends, acquaintances, friends of friends, and even strangers where you may have a common interest. They are your network and by tapping into those existing relationships and nurturing them, your network will growâ€" much like a garden. If you are building your network online, create a relationship with the people you wish to network with by engaging them. The ultimate goal is to move your conversation offline in order to establish a meaningful relationship. Through these relationships, the introductions that will lead you to a desirable job are made. Take opportunities to build your network by networking in person at job events, industry groups, and even industry events. Go further faster by focusing on the QUALITY of your networks, as opposed to the quantity. Quality networks are built with the people with whom you share an interest. Interests consist of a hobby, a political view, a mission, or a value. We do not want to imply that if you simply shake enough hands (without a common interest), you will land a job. You could shake that many hands and eliminate that many opportunities with the wrong impression. Networking is really about adding value to others and enriching your own life. The benefits or detriments you derive from networking are a byproduct of your approach. Like a garden you nurture, you reap or harvest what you sow.   In the early 20th century various scientists proved that the world is small and that we are all connected by just a few degrees. In the 21st century, the world has gotten even smaller thanks to the massive explosion of communication technology. Instead of being connected by six degrees, we are connected by 3.6. Many people tend shy away from networking, but the employers you want to work for are just a few handshakes away. A mere 3.6 degrees are all that separate you from the job you have always wanted. By taking advantage of a rapidly shrinking world, you can expand your network, connect with anyone, and land your dream job.  

Work In Progress Devils Of The Endless Deep

WORK IN PROGRESS: DEVILS OF THE ENDLESS DEEP Coming in February? Well, that’s nonetheless attainable. Get again to me on that in a couple of weeks. But that aside, that is what I’m working on now: the primary of the six deliberate Fathomless Abyss e-books. I’m calling it Devils of the Endless Dark, and the story picks up instantly after the tip of my quick story, “The Lioness of God, Daughter of the Peaceful” from the anthology Tales From The Fathomless Abyss. Here’s a sneak peek at the first chapter, with a bit of a spoiler warning. If you haven’t read the brief story but . . . well, disgrace on you, first of all. I mean, actually? If that’s you, you should comply with certainly one of these links and get the Kindle version or the Nook version, read no less than my story, then come back to this post. While we’re ready, here’s the amazing cowl art for Devils of the Endless Deep by Mats Minnhagen: I love how this turned out. Okay, now you’re back, having learn “The Lioness of God, Daughter of the Peaceful ” and you’re prepared for an excerpt from Devils of the Endless Deep: It went on eternally in one path. The proven fact that Guillermo Francisco Manuel Ortega Cordova had lived for three years so near the top solely made it seem that much deeper. He appeared down over the sting of the wicker basket suspended beneath the new air balloon, the phrases of a wildly-shrieked curse still hanging in spittle from his decrease lip. Below him was a eternally of godless aliens and feral monsters, of ragtag villages of the damned and outposts of scavengers. The Sunstrip fired up into the overcast, and Guillermo briefly hoped that the balloon would drift into its path and be shredded. For the house of a heartbeat, he needed to fall again in, and hold falling, forever and ever, until he died, screaming, falling for day after day. But there have been scores to be settled, vows to be stored. He needed to stay. His hand went to the lamp that poured sizzling air into the balloon. If he had to gues s, he thought he was 100 feet above the rim of the great gap, two miles in diameter, that fell away into eternity beneath him. The rumbling of the Crown closing had already begun. The air itself shook from the noise. It began on the rim, the enormous black circle growing smaller and smaller. He needed to scream out one other curse, one other vow of revenge, however all that came out was an incoherent, squealing shriek. His eardrums rattled at the onslaught of the thundering closure of the Crown. His hand twitched on the lamp and he almost extinguished the flame completely. A gentle but steady wind pushed the balloon farther from the Sunstripâ€"farther from the center of the Abyss. The rim folded up under him and he no longer hung over endless nothing, however bobbed gently within the air a bit lower than 100 ft over gray-brown rock. “No,” he whispered when the last of it closed and the Sunstrip went out. Oh, that’s the hard part, isn’t it? Starting out? As I pretty ham-hande dly “hinted” at the start of this submit, I’m delayed with this one. Truth be told, I should have been carried out already. The different Abyss authors ought to have had a chance to read and comment on it. It ought to be in a last proofreading stage, able to be posted no later than subsequent week. But then I began and finished a complete guide I wasn’t even planning on writing once I volunteered to put in writing the primary Fathomless Abyss guide, and that knocked me off schedule. And I completed that different guide right at the start of the holidays. And my consulting business has significantly picked up steam because the first of the yearâ€"I’m busy! But am I too busy to put in writing? Nonsense. That won't ever happen. And, yeah, man, I was writing. Again, I wrote an entire book in there somewhere! So there. Anyway, I wrote lots about how the Arron of the Black Forest project that I undertook with fellow Abyssal Mel Odom helped me recapture the pure joy of storytelli ng. I can’t await Mel to finish the subsequent chapter in Arron’s story, and I’m already overflowing with ideas for my subsequent Arron e-book, even whereas persevering with to unfold the word on Pulp Ark Award nominee The Haunting of Dragon’s Cliff. (See how deftly he inserts that little bit of shameless self promotion? Poetry!) Then we fell into the Fathomless Abyss and that pure pleasure stayed with meâ€"and I nonetheless have it . . . when I truly handle to sit down down and write Devils of the Endless Deep. As of proper now, I’m about 8000 phrases in, through chapter four of a planned 21 chaptersâ€"and that’s not good. I ought to be heaps farther alongside, even if the entire “accomplished by the top of January” ship sailed a very long time in the past. But I’m working on it, and I know for a proven fact that I’m not the one creator who has trouble, generally, getting started. I don’t even open a clean file until I actually have the first sentence. In this case, it was two sentences: It went on endlessly in a single direction. The incontrovertible fact that Guillermo Francisco Manuel Ortega Cordova had lived for three years so near the top solely made it seem that much deeper. That got here to me late this time. I scrawled it in red pen on an early draft of the outline, and still waited a protracted couple weeks to truly get started. But here’s the good news: That (Those) first (two) line(s) came to me, and it (they) got here to me like first traces always do: totally unbidden from the ether. You might assume it came from God. Okay, but if so, you should watch this video: He’s proper. But that apart, I’ve obtained it: that feeling you get when you understand the story, can hear the characters and see the landscape, when you’re not constructing a narrative one painful letter at a time however hurriedly typing as quick as you'll be able to, oblivious to at least one typo after one other, feverishly describing what you see unfol ding before you. I don’t imagine in magic, except perhaps in those moments. â€"Philip Athans About Philip Athans Hi Phil: Like the excerpt. I assume you’re walking into a minefield of Spanish naming traditions. Three unrelated “nombres” (given namesâ€"i.e “Guillermo Francisco Manuel”) appears actually unlikely to me. You rarely meet anyone with more than two given names. If a person had been to have three, likelihood is that two of them could be a biblically-derived or otherwise conventional couplet (like “Jose Maria” or “Juan Carlos”). Ack! The constant hazard of too little research. I’ll throw myself on the mercy of the court docket for this one and challenge myself to determine the way to clarify it somewhere alongside the way. Watch me work my magic!

Recruitment Video Lessons from Consumer Marketers - Workology

Recruitment Video Lessons from Consumer Marketers - Workology What Does Recruitment Video Mean for HR Recruiting? What Does Recruitment Video Mean for HR Recruiting? The idea of incorporating video into a consumer marketing strategy is nothing new, but with online and mobile video consumption increasing at rates incomparable to years prior, now is a prime time to take the plunge. If the love users have for online video (YouTube hit a milestone of 4 billion views per day earlier this year) is any indicator as to what could be the next big trend in recruitment marketing, you may want to refocus your strategy. Video interviewing is already a popular industry trend.  This is not to say social and mobile recruiting are falling by the wayside, but if you think about it, video can play a critical role in both by adding a new element: visual appeal. And its functionality doesn’t stop there. In addition to the recruitment video for employment brand piece, video is also making an impact on the overall recruitment process by offering alternate ways to interview candidates and view resumes. But today, we’re sticking to the basics and covering key points to consider when creating a video that showcases your culture or advertises a specific career opportunity. The 5 P’s of  Marketing,  Recruitment Video If you’ve ever been involved with consumer marketing, you’ve likely heard of the five P’s: product, price, place, promotion and people. And while a couple of these are applicable to recruitment video, there are a few others to incorporate as well. 1.  Passion. The whole argument for video â€" no matter the industry or objective â€" is that it can elicit emotional response from viewers in a way that the written word cannot. And if  youve  ever had to grab the Kleenex during a news clip or even a fictional show, you know it’s true. The reason? Video makes is possible to see and feel the passion from the other side of the camera, but if your recruitment video stars seem less-than-thrilled, it’s a wasted effort. Who wants to join a workplace filled with uninspired people? 2.  People. This may seem obvious, but your recruitment video should be people-centric. Shots of the office break room and on-screen bullets listing wellness benefits may seem interesting, but in reality, those are not make-or-break factors for candidate viewers. People relate to people, so focusing on your current employees and execs is the best way to establish a connection. 3.  Placement. Many organizations create recruitment videos and choose to host them in specific locations â€" careers site, job postings, YouTube or social media. Recruitment videos are great for career sites and job posting SEO.  But in order to create a consistent employment brand and reach all potential candidates, your video should be present across all touch points. 4.  Playable. Obviously your video should play, but that’s not what I’m referring to. We’re all aware that mobile is fast-growing, and that  doesnt  just include site visits and app downloads. This year, the number of mobile video viewers is expected to hit 54.6 million, and what’s cause for concern is that many online videos are not able to be played on a mobile device. If you’re going to invest in recruitment video, be sure to cover all bases. 5.  Pithy. Is this the best descriptor? Maybe, maybe not. The point is that online and mobile video viewers have extremely short attention spans â€" think less than two minutes, and that’s if they’re highly engaged. In order to really impact potential candidates, it’s critical to get down to business from the first second of the clip. A concise but meaningful recruitment video is far more effective than one that’s long and drawn out. Plus, viewers are likely to miss any points that aren’t made up front. How to Reach Job Seekers with  Recruitment  Videos Of course there are several other points to consider when investing in a recruitment video from choosing a production company to honing in on a target objective. Just remember, your ultimate goal is to entice candidates, so dont use video as another platform to recite a boring job description.  Are you using recruitment videos to reach job seekers?  What methods or ideas have worked for you and your organization?   Autumn McReynolds is the Content Strategist and Lead Blogger for  TalentMinded, an online publication focused on talent attraction and engagement in the digital age. After landing in the recruitment space in 2009, she has spent the past three years in the job board industry  as both a recruiter and project manager, consulting with clients about job advertisements, employment brand and SEO strategies for attracting new candidates via job postings.

Free budgeting sheets, Dave Ramsey has a budgeting system that you can easily learn as well, and various videos on YouTube too. Set a budget and be realistic with your numbers. Make Adjustments Print out your bank statements for the last 6 months or even 12 months and review your payments! Do you have subscriptions that are recurring that you no longer use? Do you have any payments being withdrawn that you forgot about, or maybe have multiple accounts with? Take some inventory and do some quality control.

Plus, New York State has also put into place a hold for rent, mortgage, and utility payments if needed. So be sure to keep an eye on this if it applies to your situation. (Check your state announcements for more information). Determine if There is a Sick Leave Program (If You’re Sick/Family is Sick) Consult with your employer to determine whether there is a sick leave program you can apply for. Whether you are sick, or a family member is sick and in need of your assistance. take the time to do your research and see if you can apply. If You’re Not Laid Off Yet Save Money and Develop a Plan If you’re not laid off yet but are unsure about what your situation will be in the future, you’re in the best situation possible. Take action now to prevent as much financial and emotional stress as you can. Save. Create a budget and pinch every penny you make. This is the time to be frugal â€" again focusing on the necessities, cut out anything you can, sell what you can, and save as much as you can. Determine if Your Position is Eligible for Work from Home While you’re in limbo wondering what your employer will do to take action during the pandemic, determine whether your position has the resources and the ability to work from home. Ask your employer if there are remote procedures you can follow and if not take this time to problem-solve. What tasks of yours can be done online/remotely? This may also help keep you employed during this time if you are no longer able to go into the office. Focus on Positivity As hard as it is to see the positives during this time, “Positive thinking will let you do everything better than negative thinking will” Zig Ziglar. Focus on the things you can control and do everything in your power to change what you can. Everything is temporary.

This is how baby boomers and Millennials differ with work ethic

This is the manner by which children of post war America and Millennials vary with hard working attitude This is the means by which children of post war America and Millennials contrast with hard working attitude Children of post war America once in a while trust Millennials are entitled and lethargic, however this couldn't be further from the truth.Millennials have entered an expert existence where their truths are fiercely not quite the same as the ones Boomers knew. They organize things that don't bode well to Boomers on the grounds that their condition has distinctive demands.For model, Millennials hope to be terminated or given up routinely, so they need work that is legitimately in accordance with their own profession value, which are the abilities and encounters that assist them with improving their vocation possibilities. They realize their time is restricted, so they don't put resources into getting things done outside their own way. Boomers, in any case, are accustomed to buckling down for an organization in return for long haul interest in aptitudes improvement and for security, similar to a retirement reserve or pension.But business security and long haul venture no longer exist i n the cutting edge working world.So what are Millennials working for?Having worked broadly with Millennials at my organizations, I've discovered they frequently buckle down. Above all, they have to feel like what they're progressing in the direction of lines up with their own objectives and desires. In particular, I recruited a great deal of newly graduated workmanship history understudies to fill in as record delegates at Lofty.com. I guaranteed after employing them that I recognized what they needed to work in their professions, and guarantee that their job inside Lofty would add up keeping that in mind. This made an administration worker association. They buckled down for my organization since they believed they were receiving something in return that profited them.This may sound unfamiliar to Boomers. They originate from a reality where they were relied upon to take care of their obligations by buckling down on whatever the organization required, with the desire that the organiz ation would compensate them over in the long haul. Presently, Millennials will try sincerely whenever they are given open doors that assist them with accommodating themselves with no sort of deal.In request to connect this generational partition, we need to refresh the old deal such that Boomers can comprehend and Millennials can utilize. That implies understanding where the two sides are coming from so as to make the most ideal deal.But first, how about we talk a little further about where Boomers are coming from.Baby Boomers have certain desires for youthful representatives dependent on their own experienceBoomers entered an organization and were relied upon to take care of their obligations so as to push ahead. The comprehension was in the event that they buckled down for the organization for quite a long while, and the organization profited by their work, they'd be remunerated with increases in salary and advancements. On the off chance that they remained with the organization s ufficiently long, they'd have a benefits and a 401K.This was the deal struck between a representative and friends in the days of yore: you try sincerely and in return, we'll give you security and stability.Now, Boomers expect Millennials to work for a similar deal. They think Millennials need to advance excessively quick and aren't taking care of their obligations, which appears to be sluggish. Boomers additionally accept Millennials are eccentric and don't remain in their jobs with any sort of duty. What Boomers don't understand is the opposite part of the arrangement they had, the end that should be a result for the worker, isn't there anymore.It's a totally different world out there, and Boomers need to perceive that in the event that they're going to effectively oversee MillennialsThey additionally need to comprehend what Millennials really want.Because Millennials don't hope to remain with an organization as long as possible, their advantage is in what can profit them now.This doesn't originate from a powerlessness to submit. It's the consequence of enormous turnover rates, an unsteady economy, and an increasingly serious business environment.What Millennials are gaining from their work experience is they will definitely get terminated, let go, shut down, or need to search somewhere else for self-improvement. They hope to leave a situation in an exceptionally short measure of time, so they need to get paid seriously and need to assume on greater liability rapidly. They treat fill in as an approach to construct their own proficient value and range of abilities as future negotiating tools so when it's an ideal opportunity to proceed onward, they're prepared.Professional administrations organizations like counseling firms, speculation banks and law offices have just figured out how to take advantage of this mentality by offering aptitudes improvement and mentorship. Here and there, they're setting up their staff to proceed onward to different organizations, but at the same time they're getting an extreme degree of difficult work from Millennials meanwhile. Now and again, the representative feels contributed and remains long-term.Tech organizations additionally comprehend the advantage of this speculation and battle to enroll at that point keep Millennial ability. For instance, Google additionally right now sends workers to meetings and training camps to improve their abilities. This is another approach to take advantage of Millennial goals for a common advantage. The group feels like they're getting aptitudes they can apply anyplace, and the organization gets an arrival on their investment.While this is one case of what another deal could resemble, it's not by any means the only one.There are different approaches to take advantage of a Millennial's desires, yet they don't originate from mind-reading.Boomers overseeing Millennials need to comprehend their business relationship will be short, so they need to slice to the point. Discussio ns around what the worker needs from an occupation need to occur as ahead of schedule as the meeting so as to keep inspiring all through the working relationship.Some inquiries to pose include: What does the worker need from us? What are we giving the representative in return? What does the representative need in the long haul? The present moment? What do they need from their profession? What sorts of objectives do they have outside of work? When a Boomer has answers to a couple of these, they can begin to create a commonly useful working relationship with their Millennial staff. This implies having ordinary discussions among representative and manager about what each side needs from the job going ahead and how the two can help each other in the best way.One thing I do at Codex Protocol is have month to month gatherings with every worker. We don't discuss their activities or what they've achieved. I limit the discussions carefully to what they need going ahead and how I can assist them with accomplishing that. I've seen in my Millennial representatives, they work the hardest whenever I've given them opportunities to accomplish work, accomplish objectives, and construct their resume toward what they need long term.There's a method to fabricate commonly gainful connections among ages, and it originates from bargain on the two sides. At the point when given undertakings that cause them to feel like they're working toward so mething, Millennials will work to enable Boomers' organizations to develop. Crossing over the correspondence hole between these two ages can prompt more noteworthy results on all sides, and perhaps we can at long last shut down every one of those contemplate Millennial work ethic.Mark Lurie is the Founder CEO at Codex Protocol.This article was initially distributed on Quora.com. This is the manner by which people born after WW2 and Millennials contrast with hard working attitude People born after WW2 some of the time trust Millennials are entitled and lethargic, however this couldn't be further from the truth.Millennials have entered an expert existence where their truths are fiercely not quite the same as the ones Boomers knew.

Recruitment Apprentices Time to Get Involved

Recruitment Apprentices â€" Time to Get Involved Employing apprentices is a new thing for the recruitment sector and I know that many will be asking, why bother, why not just employ graduates? And if I do employ apprentices won’t they be a lot of hassle? I hope to dispel those worries. It is a myth that all the best people go to university, with rising costs I know that many of my generation have taken a very conscious decision not to incur that sort of debt. Many of the most able and energetic young people are also impatient to get into the world of work. I know I was. I then decided that the career that I’d chosen, child-care, wasn’t for me, so I had to make a career change. At that stage, like most career changers, giving up my income was not an option. So by not employing apprentices, you’re missing out of some of the best talent. Graduates come with certain income expectations; I’m sure you’re well aware of that! Apprentices know that we’re learning on the job, so our expectations are a lot lower, and you get to train us in your good habits and needs, so we are tailored made for you. For example, we have clients in Germany, so part of my apprenticeship is learning German. I love the hands-on work experience that the apprenticeship offers, the fact that I can get involved, rather learn from the side lines. I chose a career in recruitment because I’m highly driven by targets and I love being able to help others find their dream job. I chose BPS primarily because of their “people first” culture. At my interview, I was present at the weekly meeting and saw the passion that the management team has for delivering a good service. The culture of the office is supportive, hardworking, active and most importantly happy, and that really appealed to me. I was also really impressed with their Stars programme which offers training and education across all areas of the business. The programme develops people from apprentice level through to director  level so there is great  opportunity for progression. I can work towards industry specific  qualifications and there is a wealth of opportunity for self-improvement. I access the training in a  variety of ways including online tutorials from LinkedIn Learning  platform and internal group training on more specific recruiting topics like  â€œWriting a Job Ad” or  â€œTwitter for Recruiting”. This learning is in  addition to  studying for my NVQ Level 3 in  Recruitment Resourcing and learning German. The first day can seem very daunting, but I suspect that is the same for all new recruits, whatever their background and even if, like me, you’ve been used to the most demanding of customers of all, pre-school children! However the structure of the apprenticeship learning programme has made it straightforward for my employer and me to get up to speed in no time at all. I was quickly hitting my targets and that was incredibly rewarding. I really hope that apprenticeships catch on in the sector. There is lots of support for employers who do offer them and I know, from my own experience, how soon we contribute to the business goals. To find out more the Government offers some great advice. About the author:  Natalie Winterton  started as an apprentice at global resourcing company BPS World two years ago. BPS was one of the first recruitment companies to offer apprenticeships in the sector. Last year they won REC apprentice of the year, and this year BPS have recommended Natalie for entry into the same category.

Setting Yourself Apart in College

Setting Yourself Apart in College By, Jessica Lawlor As a college student, it’s always nerve-wracking to think about the future. Finding a job is one of the major worries that a person nearing graduation experiences. However, there are many ways to set yourself apart as a student that just might help you to land your dream job after graduation. Social networking: You’ve probably heard it before, but social networking is becoming increasingly important in the business world, and therefore should become increasingly important for you! You probably already have a Facebook page, but have you created a Twitter page, yet? What about a LinkedIn profile? Joining these sites and getting your name out there will help to raise your profile. Twitter allows you to “follow” people and engage in conversations with them in 140 characters or less. LinkedIn is a fabulous resource because it allows you to create a resume for yourself, and then “connect” with other students and professionals. Interact: So, now that you’ve created a profile for yourself on different social networking sites, what do you do? Interact. It’s all about the conversation. When I signed up for Twitter, I went to Twitter’s search page and typed in key words of the type of people I wanted to follow. For instance, I used search terms such as public relations, freelance writing, creative writing, and journalism. Within seconds, thousands of entries of other people on Twitter talking about these subjects popped up. I browsed through profiles and decided who I wanted to follow. To get a conversation started, post a link to an interesting article or pose a question that your followers could answer. Don’t be afraid to talk to professionals in the field your studying; they will most likely be flattered that you want their advice. Create a blog: I’ve been told that there is no better way to set yourself apart than by creating and maintaining your own blog. Writing in a blog shows a potential employer that you’re constantly brainstorming ideas and practicing your writing skills each day. Along with writing in your own blog, read and comment on other blogs that are specific to the topic you write about. A great way to gain credibility for yourself is to show other bloggers that you’re interested in what they have to say. If you think another blogger has said something interesting, link back to them in your post. Start a student organization: Last spring, I co-founded the student-run PR firm, PRowl Public Relations at Temple University. A member of our PRSSA chapter realized that there was a need for students to gain experience in the PR field and recruited other students to help create a firm. A year later, our firm has had seven clients, and many students have gained the experience of working at a PR agency. Take initiative and start your own organization. I truly believe that everyone has an entrepreneurial spirit somewhere inside of them. Dig deep and think about what interests you. The organization certainly doesn’t have to pertain to your major; it could simply be a club for an interest you have. Get Involved: While it looks great to have several internships on your resume, I believe that it’s also important to be involved in extracurricular activities. I’m very proud of my experiences as a student in PR, but I also take pride in the activities I participate in that have absolutely nothing to do with public relations. For instance, I am a sister of Alpha Epsilon Phi sorority. I also write for The Temple News. These activities don’t directly relate to my major, but they show that I have interests outside of what I hope to do when I grow up. It’s all about being well-rounded. Learn a language: I’m currently learning Italian and loving it. Why am I learning Italian? No real reason. I’m not sure if I’ll ever need to use Italian in my career, but if an employer has a need for a candidate with skills in a language, knowing Italian might boost my resume to the top of the pile. Study abroad: Gaining experience in another country and understanding another culture truly can set a candidate apart. I haven’t been abroad yet, (I’ll be studying in Rome this summer!) but I’ve heard that the perspective you gain about life, after living in a different country is incredible. I think that studying abroad shows that a candidate is mature and willing to absorb themselves in any experience that comes their way. What are you doing as a student that sets you apart? Employers, what else can students do to set themselves apart in your eyes? Jessica Lawlor is a public relations student at Temple University in Philadelphia, PA. She is currently the Director of Public Relations for PRowl Public Relations, Temple University’s first and only student-run PR firm, and serves on the executive board of Temple’s PRSSA chapter.

6 Top Tips on writing a winning cover letter

6 Top Tips on writing a winning cover letter So, you’ve worked on your CV and it’s a thing of beauty, it showcases your skills, and covers your employment, volunteering and extra-curricular activity with aplomb. You’re rightly proud of it. The bad news is that you can’t relax yet. The job advertisement asked for a CV and cover letter! Here are my tips to get that cover letter to the same glittering standard. 1.  Write in a standard formal way. I thought this  template was pretty good as a starting point. Stick to this format even  when the application is going by email. I would attach both this letter and the CV to a very short message, along the lines of “I am applying for the post of x and attach my curriculum vitae and cover letter.” 2.  Tell the employer what you want. Start with either a heading “Application for the post of …” or a straightforward statement, “I am applying for the post of…” You need to show that you are someone who can get to the point. Don’t leave the employer wondering what you might want, he or she might just stop reading in frustration. 3.  Explain why you want the job. This is where you demonstrate the detailed research you have carried out into the employer’s business. It isn’t as uncommon as you might imagine for employers to get letters which explain, “I want to work for (insert name of company) because” While this approach really is the fast track to the rubbish bin the generic letter isn’t going to fare much better. You don’t have much room to showcase your research, so focus on some simple things, try to link research back to you. You want the employer to feel that the research has informed your decision and that there could be a real synergy between you and the organisation. Here’s how you might approach it: Recent news items “I have lived for several years in Moscow and speak fluent Russian. I was delighted to see that you have recently opened an office there, I hope that this would give me the chance to put my linguistic and cultural knowledge to good use.” Awards “I was delighted to see that you have been nominated for a Stonewall award. I was treasurer of the LGBT Society in my second year at university and am committed to working to create a more equal society. I want to be part of an organisation which shares my aspiration.” Culture of the organisation “I know from talking to your graduates that your open plan offices facilitate a co-operative and non- hierarchical work place, where everyone’s opinions are valued. I would love to join such an open and creative company.” 4.  Pick some of your key skills and write about them. What makes you special? This is not the moment to repeat the CV. You need to elaborate on key points and show how your achievements are relevant to the company. Often it’s not what you’ve achieved, but how you explain it that matters. Completing a tough outdoor activity like the Three Peaks Challenge isn’t necessarily going to make you a better desk bound employee. However, if you talk about the resilience and determination you showed, and your meticulous attention to detail in planning the expedition, you might be on to a winner! You might also be able to showcase those all-important marketing skills by talking about how you went about raising sponsorship and the phenomenal amount that you raised. Better still if your chosen charity was one supported by the target employer! Make sure this section doesn’t slip into arrogance. Of course you have to sell yourself but there is no need  for superlatives or a surfeit of power words. Keep it business-like and relevant and you’re likely to have more success. 5.  Keep to a page and round off politely. Normally a cover letter should not exceed one page. You need not to pick a font size so small that you have the graduate recruitment team reaching for the magnifying glass. Don’t abandon margins either. Your letter should look neat and smart on the page and there should be some white space around to make the whole thing easy on the eye. Your final paragraph can be something as short as: “I hope to hear from you further.” There’s no need to thank the recruiter for taking the time to read the letter â€" that’s their job! You can also leave out details of when you’re available for interview, if the employer wants to see you, they’ll invite you and it’ll be down to you to try to make yourself available. And finally 6.  There’s no such thing as a successful generic cover letter! Start from scratch each time and make sure that you demonstrate your interest in this particular employer and its business. You might also want to look at our blog on speculative cover letters, you’ll need to approach writing them in a rather different way.
