Tips for Staying Positive During Your Job Search

Tips for Staying Positive During Your Job SearchTips for Staying Positive During Your Job SearchThere are a number of great resources that can help job seekers prepare for an interview- a quick Google search will yield advice on what to wear, what to do before the interview, what questions to ask during the interview, how and when to write a thank you note post-interviewthe list goes on. While the hard skills are critical, our team at ResumeSpice believes its just as important to develop a healthy mindset going into the process. Below are some tips for calming the nerves and getting into the right frame a mind, so you can perform your best.Preparation is KeyPre-interview stress is normal. Its your bodys natural way of preparing you for something significant and for most people, a healthy amount of stress helps them get ready to perform. However, if your stress level is bordering on high-anxiety, that can certainly have a negative effect in an interview setting. What we recommend is t o prepare the questions youre most likely to be asked and then practice answering aloud, either in the mirror or to a friend. The practice and preparation will help take the edge off and give you the confidence that you are ready for (almost) anything you may face in an interview setting. Next, envision a positive outcome. Imagine yourself smiling at the interviewer, shaking their hand firmly, and then answering every question with confidence and poise. Imagine yourself shaking the interviewers hand at the conclusion of the meeting and then expressing interest in the role. Between your preparation and envisioning techniques, youll be amazed at the positive effect on your confidence.Put Your Old Journal to UseKeeping a log of your interviews and progress can be an extremely valuable resource tool. If you are actively searching, keep a log of your interviews, note your areas of strength, questions you struggled with, and how you would approach the question the next time youre asked. T his can also serve as a nice record for contacts, reminder to send thank you notes, and a record of your progress. If you find yourself in a rut or becoming pessimistic, your log can help serve as a reminder of your progress and the network youre developing. You never know when someone you meet during the interview process might turn into a future co-worker, boss, or even a customer.Capitalize on Your StrengthsWe all have unique strengths and your future employer needs to know what they are. This doesnt mean you will not be asked about your weaknesses during your interview. In fact, you most likely will. However, by knowing what your strengths are, you will have the ammunition to nail that question. When responding to questions about weaknesses or disappointing situations, tell a story about how you overcame your weakness (preferably a weakness that is unimportant to the job youre applying for) using your strength.Take a WalkThe power of nature is far too underestimated. Its well-kn own that walking and exploring nature improves mood and short-term memory by decreasing blood sugar, cortisol (stress hormones), and rumination (repetitive negative thinking). Yet many of us regularly ignore that advice. Even during a stressful job search process, its important to take of yourself and take a walk. The benefits of a 30 minute walk will likely outweigh that of an extra thirty minutes in front of a computer.Let us HelpPreparing for a job search isnt easy, but the good news is that you dont have to go about it alone. If you need help with interview preparation or marketing yourself to employers by creating a great resume, cover letter, or LinkedIn profile,contact the career consultants at Resume Spice today.

If youre not changing as a person then youre not intelligent

If youre not changing as a person then youre not intelligentIf youre not changing as a person then youre not intelligentIf youre not changing, youre not growing. If youre not growing, youre not being intelligent. Humans thrive in change and expansion - yet there can be so many internal or external blocks to change.Trying to keep things as they are is a very unhealthy approach to life. Avoiding change reflects a misunderstanding of the human condition and human flourishing. Change is not to be avoided, but embraced. Said Winston ChurchillTo improve is to change to be perfect is to change often.- - - How much have you changed in the past 12 months?How much have you changed in the past 5 years (60 months)?What new challenges are you taking on?What new books have you read that have completely changed your paradigm?What new relationships and experiences have opened you to new worlds of possibilities?What suppressed pain and trauma have you freed yourself from?What bad habits have you f inally given up?What relationships have you healed or let go of?What addictions are still stopping you from living your dreams?What roles or personality are you still clinging to?The extreme importance of the parent-child connectionThe parent-child connection is the most powerful mental health intervention known to mankind. - Bessel van der KolkIn the profound and life-changing book, The Body Keeps The Score, Bessel van der Kolk M.D. explains that suppressed emotions and trauma lead people to unhealthy and addictive cycles.One of the most fundamental components of making positive change in your life is developing a healthy relationship with your parents - whether they are alive or not.All parent-child relationships have some form of baggage because no parent is perfect. Every parent has their own problems and through those problems they raise their kids.It is then the kids responsibility to eventually evolve beyond the deficiencies of their parents. Any good parent would want this for their children to go beyond where they themselves were.Parents must be fully forgiven and viewed in a loving, appreciative, and honorable light. No matter how flawed. This doesnt mean you must maintain a relationship if your parents are heavily abusive or toxic, as is the case of my three recently adopted children. However, if you neglect that relationship and cant openly discuss it, it will come back to you later in life. Even if just at the emotional-level, this relationship is very important to your ability to make desired transformations.Your relationship with your own body (and food)When a man makes his thoughts pure, he no longer desires impure food. - James AllenDoes your body control you, or do you control your body? For most people, the body is completely in control. Want a gut-check about whether youre in control or if your body is?How often do you impulsively check your smart-phone?How often do you impulsively eat or put other substances in your body?How is your abili ty to focus for long periods of time?How in-tune are you with your own intuition?How much time do you spend thinking about your physical appearance?How much time do you spend worrying about the opinions of others?If you dont control your body, then you cant control your mind.If you dont control your body, then you cant control your time.If you dont control your body, then youre life is far mora impulsive and out-of-control than you realize.If the spirit yields to the body, it becomes corrupt but if the body yields to the spirit it becomes pure and holy. - Brigham YoungOne of the most basic and well-tested methods for regaining control of your mind and body is through fasting. There are many different forms, such as water fasting where you only drink water and dont consume food of any kind for a period of time (often 13 days). Theres juice fasting and bone broth fasting (often 110 days) where you only consume liquids for a period of time to allow your digestive system to rest, recove r, and reset.You can also fast from technology - something most people havent done since the internet.Youll also want to fast from routine environments. fruchtwein of your triggers and memories - and thus identity - are tied to places and environments. When you get out and see new things, you open yourself to new insights and experiences which open you up.While fasting, youll begin to get a ton of insight. Youll start to realize how reactive youve been to the environment. Youll start to notice how off youve been. Youll then have more clarity and capability to shift your life in a positive direction.Education through reading and experienceYou will be the same person in five years as you are today except for the people you meet and the books you read. - Charlie Tremendous JonesEducation is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world. - Nelson MandelaWhere is the life we have lost in living? Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? Where is the knowledge we have lost in information? - T.S. ElliotIn a powerful lecture on how our brains change through experience, Neuroscientist Dr. Dafna Shohamy explains that our brains assimilate information for the purpose of prediction.Being able to predict how our behavior will lead to outcomes is one of the most important goals of our brains. For example, when you touch the stove as a child, you experience what is known as a prediction error - which according to Dr. Shohamy is a learning signal to update your expectations for the next time.Prediction errors are exactly what you want to experience more of if you want a lifetime of growth.This is why failure is such a key part of success. Failure is what occurs when you incorrectly predict how things will go based on your limited knowledge. Because you experience failure or prediction error, you can then update your expectations and strategies for the next attempt.This is what growth and innovation are all about. Thomas Edison embraced prediction er ror. He embraced his own mental and experiential boundaries. He was willing to fail over and over and over because for him - failure was about learning. It was about changing and expanding himself. To prozentsatz Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions.Thomas Edison had to update and refine himself constantly to become the man he became. His failures and experiences transformed to wisdom and understanding. Intelligence is applied understanding. Its far more powerful than base knowledge. There are lots of people who have information in their heads. But wisdom and intelligence is the proper application of knowledge.Interestingly, there is lots of research showing that as people age, they generally become LESS open to education. They become LESS open to new experiences.As people get older, they really want their lives to be predictable. In order to keep their lives predictable, they dont embrace new information, new experiences, new challenges, new relationships. Their life increasingly becomes an echo-chamber.If youre not proactively seeking new experiences and learning new information, youre stuck. If youre stuck, youre not growing and changing. And if youre not changing, then youre not intelligent. As C. JoyBell C. put itThe only way that we can live, is if we grow. The only way that we can grow is if we change. The only way that we can change is if we learn. The only way we can learn is if we are exposed. And the only way that we can become exposed is if we throw ourselves out into the open. Do it. Throw yourself.Change yourself and youll change the worldBe the change that you wish to see in the world. - Mahatma GandhiYesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself. - RumiSuccess is not to be pursued it is to be attracted by the person you become. - Jim RohnIf youre not changing yourself, then youre not intelligent.If youre seeking exter nal success without changing who you are, then youre delusional.If youre trying to make a powerful change in the world without changing yourself, then youre simply trying to force the world into your box.When you begin changing yourself, youll be equipped to change the world.If you seek to change the world, youll be required to change yourself.If youre truly committed to something or someone, youll be required to become whatever that commitment entails.If you sufficiently transform yourself, you wont be able to stop yourself from helping others positively transform as well.Changed people change the world. They light a fire in others because they are on fire themselves.Measure the gain instead of the gapThe way to measure your progress is backward against where you started, not against your ideal. - Dan Sullivan, THE GAIN AND THE GAPHow much have you changed in the past 12 months?How much have you changed in the past 5 years?According to Strategic Coach founder, Dan Sullivan, its far more powerful to measure the gains youve made than the gap in front of you.If you look back on the past 15 years and truly consider how much youve grown and changed, youll be stunned.If youre proactively seeking change and transformation, youve probably made HUGE changes. You can actually make enormous change in yourself in a relatively small period of time.15 years is a short period of time. In that amount of time, you can go from making almost nothing to making millions of dollars. You can go from being single and having no kids to being married and having three kids with two on the way (thats what happened to me).If youre not growing, youre not changing. If youre not changing, then youre not intelligent.Its very important that you take time to examine and measure where you are from where youve been. When you do this, there are a host of psychological benefits.For example, measuring your progress injects enormous amounts of gratitude and appreciation into your life. Gratitude is one of the most powerful psychological experiences and relates to improvements in all areas of life.When you measure your progress, you grow in confidence because confidence is a byproduct of past experience.According to SullivanYour future growth and progress are now based in your understanding about the difference between the two ways in which you can measure yourself against the ideal, which puts you in what I call The Gap, and against your starting point, which puts you in The Gain, appreciating all that youve accomplished.When youre in The Gap, you feel as though you havent accomplished anything at all. This is because even though youve moved forward, the ideal remains distant from you. The ideal is a moving target. It might even get bigger, leaving you worse off than where you started if you measure against it. Youve also used up time and energy getting to where you are, so if you dont measure the progress, youll feel like youve wasted that time and energy and have fallen even further behind.But if you turn around and measure your progress against where you started, then youre in The Gain, and youll experience a sense of having moved forward, of having achieved something, and youll be motivated to continue on to your next stage of growth.ConclusionAre you intelligent and changing?Or are you unintelligent and staying the same?Are you being transformed through new experiences?Are you being transformed by taking on new roles?Are you being changed as you grow into powerful goals?Do you have a vision and a mission that compels you to become far more than you currently are?Make a change today. The moment you even make a small change in the right direction, youll begin to experience a flood of motivation, energy, and momentum.As you continue to change, your mind will expand allowing greater insights and epiphanies to flow.This life is a classroom.

Retaining Your Valuable Human Capital

Retaining Your Valuable Human CapitalRetaining Your Valuable Human CapitalIt is essential to give your employees a vested interest in the success of your business. In many companies today, employees feel unimportant, and that they have nothing to gain from the success of the firm. Thats why bonuses, ESOP plans, and other incentives should be a parte of every business. When individuals have tangible reasons to work harder, they are more likely to share your enthusiasm and desire for the company to succeed. It is amazing how much effort, initiative, and intensity people are willing to provide when they have a stake in the outcome.Be niceEmployees should have other incentives besides money to work hard and give back to the business your employees should enjoy what theyre doing. Create a friendly and caring atmosphere at work with special benefits for your employees. Sometimes a little perk can create an incredible atmosphere of warmth and friendliness. Whether you try casual days , birthday cakes, family days, pet days, surprise bonuses, pizza parties, or special days off, do something different at work to make your employees feel like they are part of a company that cares about them. An atmosphere of caring isnt confined just to internal perks. Sponsor local community events, send employees back for continuing education, recognize the families of your employees. These extra touches will create a positive working atmosphere that will have you and the rest of your team looking forward to coming to work every day.Important employee responsibilitiesAn important part of managing your business is giving responsibility to other individuals at your company. Giving employees significant responsibility not only makes them feel important, but also frees up time so you can focus on growing your business. It can be very difficult to let go of certain tasks that you have performed from Day One. However, being a manager means delegating responsibility in the most eff icient manner, allowing you to spend time on the core areas of the business. Releasing the operational and financial aspects of the business will allow you to focus on future initiatives and other opportunities in the marketplace.Using employees efficientlyUtilize your employees to the best of their abilities. Push employees to expand their horizons and learn about different aspects of the company. Encourage them to choose goals that will advance their professional abilities and make a significant impact on the company. Reward your employees for doing well, providing an idea for a project, or working longer hours to finish particular projects. Recognizing the efforts of your employees is an important part of creating a strong bond of respect and communication.A transparent organizationAlways keep the lines of communication open and encourage employees to come up with new ideas and suggestions, even on topics not directly related to what they are doing. Keep your employees in t he loop. In many growing companies, employees often feel like theyre in the dark about important company business - a feeling that can breed mistrust and discontentment, and may even drive individuals to leave the company. Keep your employees feeling like they are an integral part of the team by actively communicating with them, encouraging them to take their skills to the next level, giving them important responsibilities within the business, and letting them know they are important to the company and you personally.Incentives and benefitsThere are many different types of incentive and benefits packages that you can make available to your employees. Unless you have part-time employees, your staff will want a medical benefits plan. Offering a comprehensive medical benefits package is extremely helpful when hiring skilled workers. Offering a tuition reimbursement program will encourage employees to increase their knowledge with continuing education classes and advanced degrees. Encouraging your employees to take financial or computer literacy classes will add value to your company. Stock options can be especially helpful when trying to hire an individual whose current salary you may not be able to match. The future value of the stock options may be enough to interest them into coming aboard. Bonus plans are another excellent way to reward employees for their good work. Make sure to explain to employees the basis for their bonus. It is a good idea to tie bonuses to personal as well as company performances.ConceptTeamBuilding a business team that works well together is an essential part of the success of any group. Finding the personalities and skill sets that fit is an important part of the hiring process. Creating an invigorating atmosphere, encouraging people to work together, and providing strong leadership and guidance are all essential parts of building a winning team.

Social Recruiting - How to Attract and Connect With Top Candidates

Social Recruiting - How to Attract and Connect With Top CandidatesOne of the best talent acquisition strategies continues to go underutilized social recruiting.The candidate experience is one of the most important parts of talent acquisition. You want candidates to feel wanted and for them to understand how they fit into the prospective role as well as your culture.Social media is perfect for expanding your employer branding and connecting with candidates on a more human level. Its a great channel to get to know who the best talent is before you even start asking interview questions. Building this authentic relationship helps you find and hire talent who are committed to long-term growth with you.We spoke to Brad Owens to learn how social recruiting can help you find the right talent in a fast, effective manner.As the hiring and retention expert at hrcoaching.com, a resource for culture building at small businesses, Owens shows how the world of social recruiting is changing for the better.The most important and underrated aspect of social recruiting right now is truly making a connection with one person, he says. Instead of trying to reach every candidate, find the people who are perfect for your company and reach out directly.Check out the full transcript of Owens insights on how to create a more effective social recruiting processAll right, hey there this is Brad Owens. I am culture coach at hrcoaching.com. Im also the host of a small business hiring podcast.Make sharable content focused on your cultureSo, I think recruiters can do a lot to make their YouTube videos a bit more engaging and interactive for, you know, their talents.Quite honestly, I think that if you make a YouTube video that people want to share, thats going to be more interactive and engaging, right? So what would you want to make shareable about your video?You want it to show your corporate culture. You want them to say oh my gosh this is a cool place to work. Let me share this and show oth er people that they should be doing this, or let me share this with my boss. Hey Todd, we should be doing this, too. Right?So if you make this cool company culture kind of video heres what we do for fun, heres what our people are all about, we really care about our employees. People want to share that around, and it will show your corporate culture and attract the type of people that you want to attract.So make a video that is more engaging about your culture, about your people, elend about the specific job, not about the sales, not about any of the types of things that people typically use in one of these recruitment videos. You want to show your company. You want to show, heres the type of people we are, so you attract those same people. Thats the best thing you can do to make an engaging interactive.Dont forget about your employees networksCompanies can ensure that their content is being viewed by the right type of candidates if they are asking their employees to share it out to their friends, family, people they think might be interested in working there. So, I would use this as a part of your recruitment process, as a part of your referral process. You know if you are trying to find the best employees for your business, time and time again, that comes from referrals. Many, many tests have proven this, many, many studies have shown that the best employees you can have for your business are referrals. Why is that? People who are giving you referrals typically know about you, what works for you, what people would work well with you, what your business is like, what kind of personalities fit well with your organization. So referrals are the authors of the best candidates for your business. If you are using the recruitment video, or whatever youre making as part of your referral process, youre having your people send out something like hey, check out what its like to work here. And then theyre sending it to people who might get excited about working there by seeing the video of your corporate culture, the things youre doing. Right? Make this video a part of your corporate culture, of heres what its like to work here. Here is the kind of people we have here. And then send that out to your team and say, hey, find us good people to work here that fit in with this. And use this video to show what were all about. Thats how you get in front of the right people to make sure that those employees know the type of people that work well in your organization. They will share it with those other people that will also work well in your organization. So, use your referral network. Thats how youre going to get the best people in.Aim to connect with just one personI think the most important and underrated aspect of social recruiting right now is truly making a connection with one person. I think so much of whats going wrong in social media right now is trying to stand in the middle of a crowd, shout out whatever you have to say, and hope someone hears i t and responds. Thats like sitting in the middle of a crowd when someones hurt yelling, someone call 911. No ones going to call. If you point to that person and say you call 911, theyll call. Right? So lets use that in our social recruiting as well. Go out and find the people who were talking about the topics that are relevant to your business and send them direct messages, send them messages send them whatever you can to get on their radar. Dont just post these relevant articles to your industry on your company Twitter or Facebook or whatever it is, call out specific people. Go out and engage truly engage. Do things that dont scale. Everyones hoping that social recruiting will be this, Oh, Im going to attract hundreds of candidates. But in reality youre just using that to get your company message out. If you truly want to attract candidates, go and find them. Have someone on your team who goes out and uses these channels to find people who are, you know, fitting in with your corp orate culture who will be good fits for you for the long term, and engage them in conversation, engage one-on-one. Thats whats missing from social recruiting, this one-on-one engagement. Everyone is trying to use these tools to get in front of the most people to quit as quickly as possible. Thats not going to work. People are getting worn out with that. Make sure that you target that one specific person who you know is going to be a fit for your organization, and put all your power behind getting that person on board. So, thats what I think people are missing today with social recruiting.
