Showing Compassion To A Job Seeker

Showing Compassion To A Job Seeker Jacob Share, Israels most popular job/career blogger, had a good post a few weeks back about showing compassion to job seekers. Ive talked about this a number of times, in the depression post and the religions role in a job search post, in another post that I cant find, and in passing in a bunch of other posts. But his list (you can find it here) inspired me to create my own list. This post might come across as a little sappy, which is not my intention. But the idea of showing compassion indicates that there is something wrong, at a personal level. Here we go: Take the person to lunch. Buy the lunch. And make good use of this time. DO NOT preach. DO NOT dig. Dont try and find out why the person is in transition it just doesnt matter. I would even suggest that you dont have to help solve the problem with your tactics and techniques. One of the first lunches I went to was with a wealthy friend. I didnt know what I was doing, and it turned out that he didnt know anything about a job search. But I left that meeting rejuvenated. This turned into a one-meeting mentoring session after lunch we never touched bases again (even though I tried). It was just what I needed, helpful, non-judgmental, and with a big-picture perspective. I would suggest that the job seeker would either need that or tactical help. Best thing to do? Open up your little black book, figure out five professionals that you could introduce the job seeker to, and then do it that day. Be honest and helpful. Too many people have that nice smile with a look of pity in their eyes. The job seeker is already going through enough emotions to fill a room, and theyll probably read more into it than you intend. But there is a feeling of everyones talking about me. Sometimes it even feels like mans best friend, the family dog, will walk away when you (the job seeker) come in the room. I remember one of the most important phone calls I had was with Ed Ekstrom, partner at vSpring Capital. Surprisingly, Ed spent about 30 minutes with me on the phone. There was no role for me there, and my school wasnt ivy league, which meant he wasnt interested in me as an employee. But in that 30 minutes the honesty and guidance that he gave me was critical to help me understand how I (with my credentials and experience) was perceived. Dont try to replace Monster.com. Ive had people send me job leads they found online. The thing is, I was already spending 10 hours a day online, and knew about all the leads that were posted. The hidden job market includes all the jobs NOT posted, supposedly with 85% of the opportunities. If you have a way to help me bust into that hidden job market, please help! Cash helps, too. I always feel weird writing about this, as Im not asking for money, and your job seeking buddy probably wont either. My family was the recipient of two very generous gifts. The first gift was three gift cards for the local grocery store, maxed at $200 each. The second we found out about when we got a utility bill and found that someone paid it in advance for a few months. I cant even tell you how amazing those gifts were. When you get into a situation where no money comes in, and plenty has to go out, its very, very scary. How many months can we survive? Being on the receiving end of those gifts changed me as a person, and helped give a little bit of piece of mind to my family. A special note for the spouse. The problem, as the spouse, is that you are TOO CLOSE. Normally a spouse knows the personal weaknesses, doesnt understand the strengths, and is closer than anyone to the emotion. Thats why they say that a spouse cannot be the job search coach. I didnt realize this at the time but my wife and I did not talk for about the first month. We were trying to be strong for one another, and there wasnt really much to say that month. Realize that this is a very difficult time, but there are things you can do. One of the best things my wife did for my job search was to network with her friends. It was very cool to have her friends husbands get in touch with me, as that helped jump-start my networking. A special note for family (brothers, sisters, parents, etc.). This is tough because some of you are in a position to help, or family relationships have been strained for years. I wont even pretend to know the right answer for you, but I can share one experience. This is not the time for tough love. I was talking to my dad one night and he said I will expect you to be unemployed for at least six months. No way, I thought, Id have a job much earlier but just knowing that he was supportive, and helping, and not expecting results immediately was very, very comforting. As a side note, if you can help financially, nows a great time to help with car payments, house payments or some other significant bill. A special note for religious leaders and congregation members. Go read religions role in a job search. Additionally, realize that this is no time to judge or shun. No matter how good or bad the job seeker has been in your congregation, now is not the time to teach a lesson or turn your back. This is a very humbling time, and it can be hard for the person to drag himself to church, just to feel judged by all those people with a job. My religious leaders were awesome but after my religions role post I got a number of e-mails from people who had been shunned. Dont ignore this, if you are a church leader, ask the person to meet with you, seek to understand, and figure out how you can help. This is a great time to really love that person. So there you go. Again, Jacob has some other ideas, as do his commentors. That post was inspired by a group writing project by Wade of The Middle Way, Kenton of Zen-Inspired Self Development, and Albert of Urban Monk.Net. I havent checked yet but he asked a few others to participate, including Vivien, Pearl, Isabella, Miriam, Ronald, Vivian, Kate, Shelly, Robert, Pete, Carolyn, Jennifer, Yvonne, Etienne and Simonne. Im sure I missed stuff how can you show compassion to someone in a job search? Or, when you were in your own transition, how has someone shown compassion to you?

Meal Replacement Shakes Sip your Way to Weight Loss!

Meal Replacement Shakes Sip your Way to Weight Loss! Excess weight is a unifying problem that it affects women and men in much the same way. While men and women often store fat in different places, and suffer different health issues as a result of being overweight, the one thing we all agree on is that losing weight is a tough task. To make matters worse, and I know this first-hand, many of the accepted methods for losing weight are also expensive. On the plus side, I have a cheap solution that will help you lose weight without sweating or milking your wallet dry: meal replacement shakes. Meal replacement shakes are a great way to lose weight and in this article I’ll tell you all you need to know about them. I love meal replacement shakes because they banish the weight loss myth that you have to starve yourself to get results. With meal replacement shakes, you still lose weight but also get to eat all of your favorite foods too. Meal replacement shakes are formulas that provide your body with all its nutritional requirements while reducing your calorie intake. You already know that calories are what are responsible for your 90+ kilogram body weight! Meal replacement shakes, also known as diet shakes, are mostly high in protein but low in carbs and you simply replace one or two regular meals per day and have a low calorie shake instead. The shake provides you with all the energy you need to keep going without having any excesses calories to store. At the same time, they encourage your body to burn the excess fat so you lose weight quickly and easily. Once you have chosen the right diet shake (you might need physician for assistance), start by eliminating just one meal per day, maybe breakfast. Experts recommend that you replace the meal that you think has the highest number of calories. If you do this, the weight loss process is faster. If you replace the meal with the least calories, you will still lose weight, but it might take longer. Don’t worry about finding the top brands; here is my review of the best meal replacement shakes for weight loss that I recommend. Regular users of meal replacement shakes will be happy to tell you why the love them so much; the main reasons being that they are very easy to use. This ease of use is made possible by several factors. One; they are in the form of drinks, and, compared to alternatives like the gym, they are very easy to pick up. Second, they come in lots of different, natural, flavors to suit all tastes although I go for chocolate every time!   This makes the potentially scary thought of skipping dinner much less so as you get to drink something that tastes wonderful. Some dieticians may warn that meal replacements are not very safe. For example, if you rely on them too much, you might end up taking in little to no fiber which could be harmful to your health. They might also highlight the social aspect of eating, which is sitting down with others and enjoying a meal together. However, if you are sensible, you can find a way around these problems and that makes meal replacement shakes a magic way to sip and lose weight! Image Source; Image Source

10 Pieces of Paraphernalia That Will Get Your Brand Name Known - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

10 Pieces of Paraphernalia That Will Get Your Brand Name Known - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career Of all the paraphernalia you can use to get your brand message out there shirts, mugs, USB drives what piece of swag has actually paid off for your brand and why? The following answers are provided by the Young Entrepreneur Council (YEC),  an invite-only organization comprised of the worlds most promising young entrepreneurs. In partnership with Citi, YEC recently launched StartupCollective, a free virtual mentorship program that helps millions of entrepreneurs start and grow businesses. 1. Credit Card Business Cards Im in the credit card processing industry and have designed our cards to look much like the black American Express card. Every single time I hand my card to someone they smile, say Thats great, I thought you were giving me your credit card! and bring it up whenever we see each other again. Its memorable and immediately demonstrates to them what our business does success all around. Darrah Brustein, Finance Whiz Kids | Equitable Payments 2. Creative Stickers At trade shows, our company hands out well-designed and brand-consistent stickers that subtly display our logo. The stickers are beautiful and dont overbearingly promote our company. By the end of the show, it is not uncommon to see our stickers everywhere, even at other trade show booths. Ronnie Castro, Porch 3. Refrigerator Clips We give away branded refrigerator clips. The reason? Part of our service gives users prepaid envelopes to collect their receipts, and the best way to keep up with these envelopes is to clip them to your fridge. The clips are a super old branding tactic, but they work tremendously well for our company. Taylor Mingos, Shoeboxed.com 4. Lock Boxes Most people send potential customers T-shirts, mugs, ChapStick or other paraphernalia, but none of these items incentivizes your potential customer to speak with you. We sent key potential customers a safe with $100 inside and said if you want the money, you have to call us to get the safe’s code. They got the money and a cool safe, and we got a chance to speak with them. Ben Rubenstein, Yodle 5. Cash I hand out $100 bills that have a Staff.com coupon code where the serial number should be. I usually carry a wad of these coupons in my lapel pocket at conferences, and everyone runs up and grabs the coupons from my jacket. Its a great way to start a conversation about your company and get people set up with some credit. Liam Martin, Staff.com 6. Giant Pens Surprisingly, our most popular brand swag item is our giant pen. We make sure to have a bunch on hand for every conference because everyone seems to get a huge kick out of them. In the past, people have even reached out after the conference to ask if we can send them some more. Ted Murphy, IZEA 7. Tape Measures We make custom clothing, so we send people branded tailoring tape measures. They are useful for everything, and they make it even easier for guys to order our custom shirts online. Danny Wong, Blank Label 8. Nail Polish Whenever possible, I recommend getting swag that is relevant to your industry and message. For us at Poshly, it means giving away beauty-related products, such as nail polish! We once gave away bottles of nail polish attached to a postcard explaining our solutions for brands. It was a great lead generator for us. Doreen Bloch, Poshly Inc. 9. Frisbees We give away frisbees with our logo on them at events. Its great because it keeps our audience engaged, and its perfect branding for our outdoor party rental company. Robert De Los Santos, Sky High Party Rentals 10. Custom Watches I received a custom watch for my company from Modify Watches, and it has already paid off several times over. The watch stands out, so people often notice and ask about it, giving me a great opportunity to show off my logo and talk about my company. Weve seen such a positive ROI that I ordered 100 more for our customers and super fans. Bhavin Parikh, Magoosh Inc Featured Photo Credit

Exploring The Enormous Perks Of Using Spyware For Social Media And Chat

Exploring The Enormous Perks Of Using Spyware For Social Media And Chat Over the past few years, social media and mobile chat applications have become enormously popular. In fact, they’ve become a staple of many people’s normal lives. A lot of consumers wake up in the morning and jump right on their phone or computer. Suffice to say, you would be able to learn a great deal about someone simply by browsing through their social media activity. As a parent, husband or wife, you may eventually feel the need to spy on your loved one’s social media chats. Within this article, you will learn about the perks of using a software to spy on Snapchat conversations. Totally Stealthy When attempting to spy on someone, you’ll want to do everything possible to ensure that they’re unaware of your activities. If they notice that you’re spying on them, there is a good chance that they’ll change their actions and conceal their bad behavior. With these applications, you’ll be able to see what the victim is saying and doing, without being detected. This guarantees that you will not get busted. Peace Of Mind It can be incredibly frustrating to wonder whether or not someone is doing something bad behind your back. Are you positive that your significant other doesn’t have a flame on the side? Are you positive that your children are not up to no good? One sure fire way to find the answers to these questions is by spying on their online activities. By using a Snapchat spy, you’ll be able to solve this riddle for good. You’ll be able to see who your children are chatting with and what they’re saying. This may help you identify and correct bad behavior, before it can spiral out of control. Protect Your Future Another thing to realize is that spy software can help you protect your future. Can you imagine the heartbreak of finding out that your wife or girlfriend is cheating on you? If you allow this type of activity to linger, the heartbreak will be harder. It is best to find out the truth as early as possible. This is also true with children. By finding out that your children are behaving badly early on, you may be able to correct the issue and get them back on the right track. You should definitely consider protecting your future and the future of your family by using a spyware app. Always Be In The Know When your children sign on the Internet, they are exposed to a broad array of risks. These risks include anything from propositions of sexting and child pornography to cyberbullying. These activities are responsible for the death of hundreds of children around the world. Many of these children’s parents were unaware of these happenings, so they could not come to their children’s defense. With spyware software, parents can monitor their children’s activities around the clock. So, if an unusual activity is detected, the parent can step in to spare the child from these harmful exposures. Not only will you be able to prevent your child from becoming a victim, but also you will have peace of mind. Spyware apps will also allow you detect predatory behavior in the early phase. Once this behavior is detected, you will be able to report it to your local law enforcement.

UK Police Budget News £100 Million Bonus To Tackle Knife Crime

UK Police Budget News £100 Million Bonus To Tackle Knife Crime Over the last few weeks, there has been renewed discussion over the impact of knife crime in Britain. A spate of incidents has led to widespread calls for the government to increase the UK police budget, and the government has come under a lot of criticism after distancing themselves from the incidents.  Now, it seems that the government have listened to the public demands for an improved UK police budget, and an extra £100 million will be made available to police forces throughout England and Wales. The money will be used specifically to fund overtime work, with the intention of targeting knife crime.The State of the UK Police BudgetLooking at the figures from the past 10 years, it is painfully obvious that the UK police budget has been suffering from a lack of investment, and that police cuts are taking their toll. From 2010 to 2019, the total funding for the UK police budget dropped by over 15%, and the number of employed officers also dropped significantly â€" with approximatel y 20,000 less officers today than there were ten years ago. This is a shocking statistic. With 20,000 less officers available to fight crime, is it any wonder that we’ve seen an increase in knife related incidents?Positive ReactionAs you would expect, the general reaction to this news has been positive, with numerous public and political figures tweeting and sharing their support for the funding initiative. However, it’s worth pointing out that the most positive reactions have been from within the Conservative party, and that other professionals within the sector have been cautiously positive about the UK police budget. Both the National Police Chiefs’ Council and the Police Federation have welcomed the news, but the latter also warned that this is very much a short-term solution, and that additional resources will be required in future in order to combat knife-crime.Are The Government Doing Enough? On the other hand, the Liberal Democrats took a differing stance, openly criti cising the government’s response. In a statement, they claimed that the funding issued for the UK Police Budget is simply not enough, describing it as ‘shockingly inadequate’, before pointing out the sheer amount of money that has been cut from police budgets since 2015 â€" totalling almost £1 billion. The spokesman for the Liberal Democrats pointed out that the money being offered back was but a tiny portion of what had already been taken, and that funding for overtime was incomparable to the amount of manpower which has been taken off the streets over the past few years.Closing his statement, the spokesman for the Liberal Democrats claimed that the offer was an insult to the police, and to victims of knife crime.So, What’s The Verdict? The government have clearly recognised that there’s an issue here, and are taking steps to address it. This is a significant improvement on the government’s stance from two weeks ago, where the prime minister actively distanced cuts in police funding from the increase in knife related incidents. However, the record of the past 10 years cannot be ignored. A step in the right direction cannot be followed by two steps back, and if the government are to successfully reduce the plague of knife-crime incidents, further funding must follow â€" in short order.   This entry was posted in Police, News.
