How to Attract Ideal Candidates with Better Job Descriptions - Spark Hire

Howto AttractIdealCandidateswith BetterJob Descriptions - Spark HireHiring is made easiest when the only applicants who apply for a position are actually qualified for that position. More often than not, we see job descriptions that are fairly basic and somewhat boring. Job posts that are generically written act to drive away top talent. This goes against the goal of hiring the best candidate. Job posts that are written poorly actually increase the number of applications from the inexperienced and less skilled masses. This can make the hiring process mora time consuming.To make the hiring process easier and attract the perfect job candidate, dont write depressing job posts that send the wrong message about the company. Optimize your job posts to entice top level talent, here are 3 ways to do thatKeep the job posting simple. Dont fill the job description with tons of obvious responsibilities and required skills. Cut out as much meaningless filler content as possible. Identify the top 2 or 3 requirements matter most. Indicate that the candidate must meet those requirements to get an interview.Clearly describe the companys corporate culture. The better you describe the workplace setting the more aligned your applications become with the role meant to be filled. What makes your company culture attractive? Highlight company perks like the option to work remotely from home or a company car. Do not build up the company to be something it is not however, this could lead to hiring the wrong qualified applicant.Top level candidates want more than a paycheck. They wont join a company unless they know that companys culture is a right fit. People want to be proud of and identify with the company that they work for. A great corporate culture will increase your employee retention.As you write the job description, compose it as if the ideal person for the job is sitting across the table from you. Make your language resonate with that candidate. The goal is to get them to ident ify with the job description and become excited about the job opening. Utilizing reason alone can only get you so far. Go further by appealing to the emotions which are what really drive the decision making process.Sorting through a stack of resumes is very time consuming, we all know how big those stacks can get. Dont start off with extra work by writing basic job descriptions that open yourself up to mediocrity. Hire outstanding candidates with clearly stated and compelling job descriptions.About the AuthorKimberly Schenk is a recruitment coach and mentor.

Applicant Tracking System Uncovered SmartRecruiters

Applicant Tracking System Uncovered SmartRecruiters Applicant Tracking System Uncovered SmartRecruiters An applicant tracking system, or ATS, is a software application used by recruiters and hiring managers to store, sort, and search through resumes.  There are numerous applicant tracking systems on the market, and they all function a bit differently. This post offers  an in-depth look at one specific  ATS: SmartRecruiters.  SmartRecruiters, headquartered in San Francisco, was founded by Jerome Ternynck in 2010. Its used by more than 70,000 companies, including General Mills, Booking.com, OfficeMax, 1-800-FLOWERS, PRG, Goodwill, and even The Onion. I used  10 sample resumes to run through the recruiting process for one job  and discovered several things that job seekers should do, plus a few things to avoid. To start: Avoid using periods in place of dashes when formatting numerical information. The system didnt recognize phone numbers written as 555.555.5555, or employment dates written as 9.27.2014. For more details and advice, read on: Parsed information SmartRecruiters  supports numerous file types, including some that cannot be read by other applicant tracking systems: DOC, RTF, PPT, ODT, TXT, PDF, PDF with image inside, and TIFF. An  ATS scans a resume in the format in which it was submitted, then takes the relevant information and plugs it into the right categories in its database (that is, it puts the applicants contact information in the systems spot for contact information, the applicants education details in the systems slot for education, and so on). At least, thats the idea. In practice, this doesnt happen perfectly. This is how the header of a candidate profile appears in SmartRecruiters (identifying information removed). There seemed to be two main things that threw off SmartRecruiters ability to recognize relevant information and assign it to the right space in the system. One was the terms used for section headers, and one was the order of information within each section. Section headers include things such as Work Experience and Education. But many of the resumes submitted used  non-standard section headers, including: Further Training Skills Expertise Technology Summary Technology Snapshot IT Experience Presentations Projects Unique Skills and Interests While these section headers might be intuitive to a human reader, they are unlikely to be recognized by an ATS. As a result, SmartRecruiters lumped the information in these sections into the Work Experience and Education sections, seemingly at random. Some of the candidates who used the above section headers wound up having crucial information from their resumes completely omitted from their profiles in the ATS. Using a quirky section header can throw off an ATS and result in a muddled or incomplete candidate profile. One candidate included a brief company description after the name of the company he worked at, with his job title and details of his role following the company description. The ATS showed the company name in the right place, but instead of prominently displaying the job title next to the company name- as the system is supposed to do- the job title was lumped in with the company description and details of the role. Company descriptions can be quite useful, both as an opportunity to use relevant resume keywords and to give recruiters a sense of the settings a candidate has worked in (for example, an employer might want candidates with previous start-up or non-profit experience). Just remember to include them after listing the company name, your job title, and your employment dates. Use Jobscan for an analysis of how well your resume uses targeted keywords. The second role here is missing the job title header because the candidate listed it after a company description. SmartRecruiters was not able to recognize any phone numbers written with periods in place of parentheses or dashes- that is, the ATS could identify (555) 555-5555 and 555-555-5555 as phone numbers, but not 555.555.5555. Similarly, it did not recognize dates when written as 1.1.2014. Writing out numerical information using periods is common in Europe, and others do so for aesthetic purposes. But because contact information and employment dates are are two of the most important pieces of information on a resume, its crucial to format them in a way the ATS will recognize. Search function and filters The search tool is as simple as any other search tool online, though the results are not always predictable. The search tool is what allows the employer to look for candidates whose resumes contain particular keywords. Bachelor’s and BS returned different batches of candidates. BBA returned no results, even though one candidate abbreviated his degree in that format on his resume. Project manager and project management returned different batches of candidates. Customer and client returned different batches of candidates. Product and products returned different batches of candidates.  On the other hand, “develop,” “developer” and “development” all returned the same candidates. The results of a search for project management (identifying information removed). Punctuation didn’t seem to matter; “masters” and “master’s” returned the same results. (Keep in mind that  it’s not safe to assume that recruiters will type in the correct form of every term.) In addition to entering search terms, the system also has several filters. Applicants can be sorted by location, by rating, by status, and by tags. The rating is a simple one-star to five-star scale, with ratings for each candidate manually entered by a SmartRecruiters user. There are no concrete guidelines for choosing a rating, though presumably each recruiter comes up with their own rubric for rating candidates. Once a candidate is rated, others involved in hiring for that job can weigh in by agreeing or disagreeing with the rating. With each rating, there is space for a note of explanation. Status simply refers to how far along in the hiring pipeline a given candidate is. SmartRecruiters divides it into eight categories: lead, new, in-review, interview, offered, hired, rejected, and withdrawn. Tags are optional; recruiters can create any tags they want, and apply them to the candidate of their choice. These tags can be used as custom filters, allowing recruiters to group candidat es together by skill, status, or other criteria. Recruiters can choose between friendly and formal templates when sending rejection emails. If a candidate applies to more than one position within a company, SmartRecruiters only considers them for one job at a time. They are added to the candidate pool for the first job they apply to, and the system alerts the recruiter when they apply to other positions at the company. The recruiter must manually re-assign the candidate to another job. So if you are considering more than one role at a company, the safest bet is to apply first to the role that interests you most. For recruiters From SmartRecruiters, recruiters can choose which job boards to post to; there is list of dozens. Most will post jobs for 30, 45, or 60 days. The cost ranges from free (for the first time a recruiters posts on a particular site) up to $495. Some also offer the option to create a featured or sponsored job.  The job boards listed range from the big ones everyone knows (Craigslist,  LinkedIn, Monster, and CareerBuilder) to niche boards (VeteranCareer.org, FlexJobs, and iCrunchData, among others). The various job boards are ranked according to the number of candidates received per posting, and by ratings from other recruiters. One job board that charges among the highest fees per job posting- Dice, at $495 for one 30-day post- has a one-star rating (on a scale of one to five stars, one being low and five being high). In contrast, Indeed is one of the most highly-rated job boards (“Expect a lot of volume. Good reach,” according to one review), while only charging $150 for a sponsored job listing. Takeaways After trying SmartRecruiters, these are the main takeaways I discovered for job seekers: Use straightforward formatting.  Arrange information based on function, not stylistic choices or emphasis. In order for an ATS to correctly parse the information in your resume, it needs to be able to find key information- such as job titles and contact information- in the expected places. Choose standard or traditional section headers. If you dont, your profile within the ATS is likely to be full of blanks, or to have crucial information lumped in with other things. That could lead to the system or the recruiter passing over your resume. Use synonyms throughout your resume. Uniformity is a virtue in many instances, especially when it comes to resumes, but not when dealing with  applicant tracking systems. Including similar or synonymous terms such as  Registered Nurse and RN will increase your chances of getting noticed. Plan carefully when applying to more than one position within a company. SmartRecruiters only allows applicants to be considered for one job at a time, and automatically enters applicants into the candidate pool for the first job they apply for. To be considered for another position, the employer must manually move you to the candidate pool for another job.   Finally, you can boost  your chances of landing an interview by testing your resume with Jobscan before you apply. Jobscan will analyze your resume and the job description side by side and rate how well your resume is tailored for the job, and  suggest improvements you can make.

This brain hack will help you attract good luck

This brain hack will help you attract good luck This brain hack will help you attract good luck Things like good and bad luck are actually just in our minds. We have a tremendous amount of control over our own realities. It’s all a matter of the lens that our brains filter experiences through, and how we use those interpretations to confirm our core beliefs. There is a new method to help reverse harmful or negative belief systems. It’s called Flow Consciousness, and its primary goal is to replace “limiting core beliefs” with those that are, in essence, limitless. “It’s a new operating system for our consciousness,” says Justin Faerman, cofounder of the  Flow Consciousness Institute, a Santa Barbara-based coaching and research organization. “Flow Consciousness is really a set of internal and external shifts that people need to make in order to shift their trajectory in life from one of struggle and suffering and hardship toward more of an effortless, nonlinear, intuition-based way of operating.” Since merging practices to found the Flow Consciousness Institute in 2015, Faerman and his cofounder Jackie Knechtel have refined various strategies for rebooting that internal operating system. The pair has since coached CEOs, professional athletes, Ivy League professors, venture capitalists, acclaimed musicians, and screenwriters in 10 countries on how to reframe their interpretation of reality to achieve consciousness flow. How limiting core beliefs get reinforced Whether we’re aware of it or not, Faerman says that everyone sees the world through their own filter; a lens that reframes our experiences to align with our core beliefs. As a result, those core beliefs can have a significant impact on our emotional state, which ultimately influence our decisions and actions. For example, if one believes that the world is inherently a scary place, their emotional state will remain defensive and on edge as they walk down the street. In that state, should a passing stranger give them an innocent look, one is more likely to interpret that look to be threatening. That interpretation in turn confirms and reinforces their core belief about the world, perhaps inspiring them not to travel down that road again. “If you believe the world is a dangerous place, you won’t go to certain places, and that will limit what’s available to you and what’s possible for you,” says Knechtel, demonstrating how core beliefs can serve to limit our real-world actions and opportunities. Unlocking your potential by changing your core beliefs Identifying these core beliefs and working to replace them with non-limiting ones, says Knechtel, is key to opening new possibilities. For example, a limiting core belief the founder pair often encounter when working with entrepreneurs and executives is that they’re somehow not worthy or deserving. “If you think you’re not good enough, you’ll have a stream of constant negative self-thought and a lower emotional state, which will absolutely affect your performance,” says Faerman. “There will be more fear of failure, fear of being seen or putting yourself out there or doing things that can help grow your business because you have that deep fear of failure or need for approval,” adds Knechtel.In other words, core beliefs become self-fulfilling prophecies, as those that believe they’re not worthy will inevitably act accordingly. Through studying fields ranging from neuroscience to psychology to quantum physics to Zen philosophy, Faerman and Knechtel have developed a variety of methodologies designed to help clients evolve their thinking away from those self-limiting belief systems. Using instinct as a data point The key to unlocking that potential is an understanding of where those core beliefs originate. Some of the typical sources are society, religion, family, the media, culture, and even DNA, each forcing their own filter on how we see the world and by extension how we behave. As a result, Faerman explains that we often experience discrepancies between our thoughts and our instincts, because instinct isn’t subject to the same filters. “You can actually gain a lot of really useful data about what to do in a given situation from how you feel about it,” says Faerman. “If a deal looks good on paper but your stomach is in a knot over it, that’s valuable data that can help you make better decisions.” Reorienting the linear perception of time Another guiding principal of Flow Consciousness is a reorientation of time itself. Faerman explains that while we naturally perceive time in a linear progression, Flow Consciousness teaches how to look backwards from an imagined, desirable future. “Play more in the state of what would reality look like if the thing I’m working toward has already happened, occupying and speaking from that place, and reverse engineering your life from there,” he suggests. Faerman points to the most decorated coach in NBA history as an example. Those who have played for Phil Jackson have  saidthat the hall of fame coach, who led 11 teams to victory, encouraged his players to first believe they had already won the title, and then play the season accordingly.“We know the brain can’t tell the difference between what we’re imagining and what’s actually happening,” adds Faerman. “It actually lights up the same neural pathways in our brain, it activates a lot of the same systems in our body, and so by staying in this place of acting and thinking and envisioning that it’s already happened, you start to build capacity to think and live in that way.” Toward a more effortless life Those who shift their core beliefs and thinking in line with the flow methodology are able to experience more emotional freedom and inner peace, according to Faerman and Knechtel. That is because core beliefs that had long served to create roadblocks in their thoughts and actions are replaced by instinct and a more optimistic, limitless view of what’s possible. “You no longer have to battle your willpower, everything just kind of falls into alignment in this place of peace and calm,” says Knechtel. “Everything is inherently neutral until we assign it a meaning, so we get to choose what perceptional frame we’re operating from; the one that causes struggle and burnout and stress, or the one that results in a state of peace and calm and joy and flow. You get to choose.” This article originally appeared on Fast Company.   More from Fast Company: This Is The Mind-Set You’ll Need In Order To Thrive In The Future Of Work 5 Habits To Get Over Self-Limiting Beliefs How The Most Successful People Constantly Question Their Strongest Beliefs

This Language Will Help You Land (More) IT Jobs

This Language Will Help You Land (More) IT Jobs This Language Will Help You Land (More) IT Jobs If you’re a programmer, you’re probably always looking to improve your skillset and beef up your resume.  IT recruiters certainly see programmers who inadvertently limit their job search options by focusing on the same languages, year after year. If you’re thinking about learning a new language soon, a good bet would be Python.   Here’s why Python would be the best investment in your career right now. Learning Python widens your job search options because it’s a language that many companies want to use across various industries.  This might be at least partially because it’s free and lowers overhead costs.  Python isn’t just big in the tech space (which is, of course, huge in itself), though.  It’s also used in hot job sectors like Science, Medicine, Finance (Fintech), Retail, and Entertainment. Python works for so many of the trends employers want to participate in right now.  It’s a language that works for Scrum and Agile development, which is much more popular than Waterfall.  It’s also a language that works better for open-source technologies, which many innovative, progressive employers want to use.  Lastly, Python is a trendy language among employers because it gets frequent updates.  Employers never see it as a stale, archaic language. Employers, especially in the tech space where it’s a job seeker’s market, want to pick languages that attract top talent.  Make yourself a more viable job candidate by playing into this trend and adding Python to your arsenal.   Python attracts programmers right now for a few reasons.  Firstly, it’s easy to learn (partially because it’s so readableâ€" it includes English words). It’s also being taught more and more frequently in universities and colleges.  Secondly, it’s popular among programmers who want an alternative to the highly corporate, controlled .NET, as it’s open source.  Lastly, IT staffing companies find that Python appeals to programmers because it’s a craftsmen’s language.  It allows programmers to really show off their skills and demonstrate a deep mastery that other, less flexible languages don’t allow.

Tips on How to Provide a Better New Employee Orientation

Tips on How to Provide a Better New Employee Orientation Tips on How to Provide a Better New Employee Orientation Your new employee orientation is a make em or  break  em experience, for a new employee. At its best, the process of new employee orientation solidifies the new employees relationship with your organization. It fuels their enthusiasm and guides their steps into a long-term positive relationship with you. It helps you retain the employees that you most want to keep. Done poorly, your new employee orientation will leave your new employees wondering why on earth they walked through your door. This lays the foundation for a negative employee experience of your job and organization- why go there when the war for excellent talent is escalating? Picture this scenario, which plays out every day in organizations. Your company’s new employee orientation program has slick, pre-printed handouts. The program’s savvy, friendly presenter uses good visuals such as overhead transparencies and a white marker board. Participants receive a guided tour of the facility. The hundred-page employee handbook  is safely tucked under their arms. Yet the average employee feels bewildered, overwhelmed, and far from welcome. Not your intention at all! What’s missing? How can you take your program from simply orienting to integrating your new hire? Remember That Your New Hires Are Human Many new hires question their decision to change companies by the end of their first day. Their anxieties are fueled by mistakes that companies often make during that first-day new employee orientation program. These common mistakes include: Overwhelming the new hire with facts, figures, names and faces packed into one eight-hour day;Showing boring orientation videos;Providing lengthy front-of-the-room lectures; andFailing to prepare for the new hire by providing appropriate equipment such as a laptop and adequate assignments so the new employee feels as if they have jumped right into the work of the new job.Before you completely revamp your present new employee orientation  process, ask yourself the following question: What do you want to achieve during new employee orientation? What  first impression do you want to make? A company’s positive first impressions can cement the deal for a newly recruited employee. Those positive strokes can also speed integration and productivity. Research shows that good orientation programs can  improve employee retention  by 25 percent. The Ideal Orientation for Your New Hires Dr. John Sullivan, head of the Human Resource Management Program at San Francisco State University, concludes that several elements contribute to a world-class new employee orientation program. The best new employee orientation: Targets goals and meets them,Makes the first day a celebration,Involves family as well as coworkers,Makes new hires productive on the first day,Is not boring, rushed or ineffective, andUses feedback to continuously improve. Make Employees Say During NEO: I Am Welcomed, Therefore, I Belong Most organizations are great at celebrating the departure of a beloved coworker. Why are organizations often so awful at welcoming a new employee? Think about arranging a party to welcome the new employee. Celebrations produce enthusiasm. Have you experienced starting a new job only to have your coworkers and supervisor ignore you during the first week? If so, you understand the effectiveness of even a little enthusiasm. Some simple celebration methods might include a letter of welcome signed by the CEO, a company t-shirt signed by all department members, and a cake with candles on the employee’s first day. Involve families in the celebration. Schedule a welcome luncheon or dinner for spouses and families during the employee’s first month. Old-fashioned welcome wagons were once used to deliver goodies to new members of a community. You can establish your own welcome wagon. Freebies that aid the new hire in his job will reinforce the belief that company employees are glad he is there and want him to succeed. As an example, a map showing nearby eateries is helpful and appreciated. (An invitation to lunch from coworkers each day during the employee’s first week is even more welcoming.) Go one step further than providing a map of the facility and the parking lot. Provide your new person with a photo of himself in the parking lot, in front of the company sign. Visuals have a great impact. Prepare for Instant Productivity From Your New Hire Employers frequently overlook the most fundamental question of the new recruit. He wants to know how his work impacts his department and ultimately, the company. Your new employee orientation should include an overview of each department’s function. Include information about what specifically goes into each department (inputs) and what comes out (products). Provide examples of how these functions relate to the employee’s job. Spend some time during the new employee orientation allowing each person to examine how his new job and its responsibilities fit in. Discuss the expected contributions and how they will help the company. Be sure to point out how new employees can offer feedback for making improvements. Examine your new employee orientation program from the perspective of the new employees. Anticipate their anxieties, as well as their questions. Provide a glossary of company acronyms, buzzwords, and FAQs so they don’t have to ask the most basic questions. Distribute a help source card that provides the names and email addresses of people who are pre-designated for questions. You may also want to assign a departmental mentor to assist with questions and the new employee orientation process during the employee’s first month. Manage the Integration of Your New Hire Ideally, the new hire’s immediate manager will participate in part of the new employee orientation. A fun way to incorporate the supervisor is in the style of the old Newlywed Game. The supervisor has to guess how he thinks his new employee will answer questions. If answers match, points are awarded for prizes. For an effective new employee orientation process, many companies expect the supervisor to provide the departmental, and work-specific orientation. The Human Resources department handles the company overview, the handbooks, the benefits, and other basic information. But, then, the supervisor takes over. On the first day, a new employee should meet with his new supervisor. The meeting should include a plan for specific training. Both the supervisor and the new employee are encouraged to share their expectations for the job, including fears or reservations each may have. The manager keeps the meeting positive and adjourns with the new hire started on a meaningful assignment. Avoid the mistake of allowing the new employee to sit idle. (In some organizations, the Human Resources group helps with the design of a checklist, which assists supervisors to provide a thorough orientation.) Evaluate the Success of the New Employee Orientation Good training programs  ask for participant evaluations. At the end of your new employee orientation, offer a brief,  five-question  survey focused on the presentation. Follow up with a survey that focuses on content in ten days or so. Encourage feedback about what information the new employee would have liked to have received during the new employee orientation program. Find out what information was overload or unneeded. Incorporate the suggestions to improve your new employee orientation program. First impressions of your organization, both good and bad, are made the first day. Decide the objectives of your new employee orientation program. Meet those objectives honestly and positively. Successful integration will happen only if your new employee decides he has made a wise decision to join your organization. Your effective new employee orientation can help make or break that decision. A Positive Example of a Successful New Hire Orientation The best new employee orientation was instituted at Edgewood Tool and Manufacturing, a small stamping plant near Detroit. Every manager who hired a new employee was required to write a 120-day  orientation plan for the new employee. It involved one action a day. Actions included meeting the Director of Quality, calling on a customer and having lunch with the CEO. You can bet that the new employee was thoroughly welcomed and integrated into the organization after 120 different orientation events.

6 Real-Life Examples of Age Discrimination

6 Real-Life Examples of Age Discrimination 6 Reals of Age Discrimination Age discrimination is alive and well in America. And it’s affecting more than the community of retirees who want to re-enter the workforce. Ageism is rearing it’s ugly head in interviews and recruiting conversations amongst 40- and 50-year-olds. Neither could we, at first. When we published   “5 Ways Older Workers Can Combat Age Discrimination” , we thought we were speaking to the 60+ crowd, those who were looking to repackage their skills for a new career chapter. However, when we read the comments on that article, we realized the issue wasn’t as simple as we thought. Heightening tech skills and showing enthusiasm were only so helpful for mature job seekers. The stories of discrimination and implicit bias that older candidates said they had faced were shocking and disheartening. Here are a few of the most eye-opening revelations of age discrimination and  companies who are specifically hiring mature talent. “I met with a recruiter this week. After getting through the look of disappointment when she saw how old I am, she told me that many of their requests are for “a recent college graduate because they haven’t developed bad habits yet”. What a slap in the face. I guess checking your phone constantly, instead of working, is not considered a bad habit. If I am willing to work for entry-level wages, why wouldn’t you want my years of experience? I am sick of hearing older workers haven’t kept up with technology. I have been through MS-DOS, the many variations of Windows, WordPerfect, Dbase, Access, Word, Excel, and on and on. Each time I have had to learn and adapt. Give me a break.” - Adrienne Lake “I have taken all dates off of my resume, and I have shortened it to only include my work history after 2000. I am considered by others to be at the very top of my field. I don’t have young children, so I don’t ever miss work because of sick children. Having lost my job when our clinic was closed, I have spent over a year looking for work. Agree with Deborah below. There is basically nothing you can do to combat age discrimination, and it is rampant. Illegal, but it is definitely out there. And yes, Jerry. The online applications, with hiring managers that aren’t familiar with the actual work being done, is not helpful.” - Barbara Jennings “In my mid-40s, I think this issue of ageism starts quite early, as far back for me as my late 30s. Getting that interview is almost impossible, which makes me ponder about what to omit in terms of work history and years of service. Disconcerting. But it’s good to have a community to share best practices and experiences.” - Giovanna Aguilar “I have been a “bridesmaid” 4 times in the last 3 months of job searching and interviews thru all of these online sites. I don’t look a day over 43 (I’m almost 51). I’m smart, assertive, good in a room, adaptable, sense of humor…I could go on. But I feel like today’s employers think it’s normal to expect 50+ hours /week, low pay, and employees who are desperate-hungry like they’re just out of college. If you’re at all laid back, confident, relaxed, employers are turned off. Everybody wants a workhorse, but with no hay as a reward. I remember my first job at a big law firm in L.A. I had my review, asked for my small raise, and the COO (woman) looked at me and said, “I wouldn’t be doing my job if I didn’t get the best person for the least amount. Do you want to keep your job, or not?” 25 years later, I feel like nothing’s changed. It sucks because I’m statistically slated to live another 30 years! I’m not gonna sit around, get lazy and encourage Alzh eimer’s to set in. I plan on working for another 15-20 years, but where?” - Laurie Nelson Altenbern “This is an issue I’ve been reading more and more about every day from all over the world. I think most of us over 50 understand the necessity of keeping up with the latest trends, technology, etc etc. Afterall, we were using the first version of Windows and had to continually update our skills to keep up with the multiple versions that were to follow. And that’s only one small example, there are so many. Think about all your work experiences, no matter how insignificant you think they are, incorporate all those learnings in a resume. Trying to prove age discrimination from a legal perspective is virtually impossible unless a hiring person blurts it out â€" “you’re too old, and because of that we’re not hiring you.” Every article I read says the same thing, that’s because there is no real solution to the problem. The only way out of it is to: keep looking for that job, start a business - after all, all that knowledge has to be worth something to someone, and network your butt off.” - Lois Brown “I never thought I was going to be in this situation, having to deal with age discrimination. I was let go after 8 hard working years, the company personnel was restructured and I was the oldest & [highest paid] in my department, they did not consider the fact that I was the hardest worker there, I can beat any twenty-year-old when it comes to stamina! I have been thru so many interviews that when they see me I notice the look on their faces as”oh, she is older” even though I don’t look 53! I am beginning to doubt my skills and wonder if I chose the wrong career. I am a Technical Designer in the fashion industry and there is a lot of competition. So I am thinking on reinventing myself, so I will try to start something on my own and work my butt off networking.” - Dari Roldan 5  Companies Hiring Mature Talent or Have Returnship Programs Details:   The Goldman Sachs Returnship program was specifically designed for those who left the workforce for two or more years and are ready to return.

How to Fly a General Aviation Traffic Pattern

How to Fly a General Aviation Traffic Pattern How to Fly a General Aviation Traffic Pattern Curious how airplanes get in and out of airports when theres no control tower? The short story is that they use a rectangular traffic pattern, entering and departing at common areas in the pattern and otherwise flying a predictable path through the air at a known altitude while making radio calls. Thats it. It works, most of the time. Now, heres the longer version. Light aircraft are expected to fly a traffic pattern around an airport. At small, non-towered fields, airports are allowed to enter and depart pretty much however theyd like to. Technically, they can fly circles instead of rectangles, and they can fly to and from while doing barrel rolls if they so desire (except the FAA make take issue with that and invoke Part 91.13, which says that nobody can act in a way that endangers others). But there is a standard pattern that (most) pilots fly in and out of airports, and its a rectangle with six different parts, or legs. Direction A standard traffic pattern is flown to the left, meaning the aircraft makes left turns in the pattern. Non-standard, or right-turn, patterns do exist to avoid terrain or obstacles, or for noise abatement procedures, but the standard pattern is to the left.   Altitude The pattern is flown at approximately 1,000 feet AGL, or above ground level, or at the recommended altitude found in the airport/facility directory published by the FAA. This altitude may vary depending on obstacle clearance, terrain, and noise abatement procedures. For an airport at sea level, the traffic pattern altitude would be 1,000 feet MSL. For an airport with an elevation of 5,500 feet, the traffic pattern altitude would be about 6,500 feet MSL (as read on the aircrafts altimeter).   Airspeed All pilots are required to comply with speed restrictions of not more than 200 knots in traffic patterns and should adjust speed to match other aircraft in the pattern as able. The traffic pattern can be divided into 6 parts: The departure leg, crosswind leg, downwind leg, base leg, final, and upwind. Departure Leg As one might assume, the departure leg is the path that the airplane flies right after departure. During the departure leg, the pilot climbs the airplane in a straight path out from the runway centerline, either visually means - looking outside to maintain an extended centerline - or by maintaining runway heading on the heading indicator. The pilot will maintain this extended runway centerline until reaching at least 300 feet below the traffic pattern altitude. For a traffic pattern altitude of 1,000 feet MSL, the pilot might begin his turn to the crosswind leg of the pattern at approximately 700 feet, continuing to climb throughout the turn and   Crosswind Leg The crosswind leg occurs after the first 90-degree turn is made upon reaching about 300 feet below pattern altitude during the departure leg to a position perpendicular to the runway. The pilot should continue the climb to pattern altitude during the crosswind leg. This leg lasts just a few seconds for most light aircraft; at approximately one-half mile distance from the runway, the pilot will make another turn to the downwind leg of the pattern.  ?? Downwind Leg About one-half mile away horizontal distance from the runway in use, the pilot should turn to the downwind leg, which parallels the runway and is flown opposite the landing direction. The aircraft will be heading with the wind or in the direction that the wind is blowing. The pilot flies the length of the runway at the specified pattern altitude and begins to configure for a landing, perhaps completing a before landing checklist, adding flaps and/or ensuring that the gear is down and locked during this phase. Abeam (90 degrees perpendicular to) the landing point, or the departure end of the runway on downwind, the pilot will likely reduce power and begin a gradual descent.   Base Leg At a position on downwind, beyond and at about a 45-degree point from the approach end of the runway, the pilot should begin a medium bank turn to the base leg, again perpendicular to the landing runway. The pilot continues his descent at a normal rate of descent while adding flaps if necessary. When at a 90-degree point from the landing runway, the pilot will turn to the final leg of the pattern.   Final Leg The final leg of the pattern should be spent finalizing the approach, taking note of the aircrafts configuration, airspeed, altitude, and descent rate. When on the appropriate glide path, the pilot will be at the recommended airspeed for the specific aircraft, descending at a moderate rate and in a normal position to land with flaps and gear extended as necessary. During the final leg of the pattern, the pilot descends all the way to the runway for landing.   Upwind Leg During the approach, many things can happen that can cause a pilot to go around or execute a missed approach. Another aircraft on the runway, an unstable approach or the presence of wake turbulence can mean that a pilot will choose not to land, but will execute a missed approach or a go-around, in which case the pilot adds full (or takeoff) power, climbs away from the ground, and reconfigures the aircraft for the climb. During this time, the pilot should join the upwind part of the pattern, which is offset to the right side of the runway (for a standard left pattern) slightly. The upwind leg would then be flown until in a position to turn to the crosswind leg.   Entry to the Pattern The entry into a traffic pattern should, when possible, be made from a 45-degree point to the downwind leg, joining the downwind leg of the pattern around the mid-field point, or with at least enough time for the pilot to configure the aircraft for a normal approach.   Exiting the Pattern Departures from the pattern should, when possible, be flown from the departure or upwind leg, either straight out or at a 45-degree angle in the direction of the pattern on the crosswind leg.   NOTE: These are guidelines only. Arrivals at non-towered airports often come from all directions, and departures often depart to any direction the pilot chooses. Care should be taken to remain vigilant in positively identifying traffic inbound and outbound in all cases. Exercise caution and make timely radio calls at all times.   Source: FAA Airplane Flying Handbook

NBA and Stanley Cup playoffs show superstitions are linked to success

NBA and Stanley Cup playoffs show superstitions are linked to success NBA and Stanley Cup playoffs show superstitions are linked to success We are in the midst of the Stanley Cup playoffs, and hockey newbies like me are  catching up on decades of rivalries, but as I learn about what a puck going where means, I also need to  educate myself  on the equally important rituals.In 1980, the New York Islanders grew beards  during their playoff run and won four straight championships with their facial hair, so now naturally, all players won’t shave off their playoff beards until their season ends. Every team wants to know the winning formula to another team’s success, and they will do anything, even growing some scraggly fuzz, to get there.Above all, you won’t catch any NHL player touching the Stanley Cup, the holy grail for every team, until they’ve actually won the Stanley Cup. Some captains  won’t even touch or lift the lesser conference trophies like the Prince of Wales Trophy or the Clarence Campbell Bowl out of superstitious fear that to do so would seem presumptuous. It’s gotta be Stanley Cup or bust.Any ritua l around success gets our attention, so we took a look at some of the more popular ones in sports - but we urge caution if you try these at work.Fan superstitions include throwing an octopusAs a fan, you start to pour your hopes and anxieties onto these players. When they win, you say “we won.” If you tie enough of your identity into these games, you’ll start participating  in player superstitions too. That’s why many hockey fans won’t touch the Stanley Cup either until their team has won the championship.  Game-day rituals can include wearing the same unwashed  jersey to keep your  team’s winning streak going, and donning whatever apparel that will make you feel like you have some control over the game’s outcome.Some rituals can be more bizarre.In 1952, two  Detroit Red Wings fans started an enduring tradition after they tossed  an octopus onto the ice rink. The octopus’ eight tentacles represented the eight wins Detroit needed to win the Stanley Cup that year. (Th is season, the power of the octopus failed - the Red Wings missed the playoffs for the first time in 26 seasons.)Superstitions prevail in every sport with demanding performance tasks. With the 2007-08 Celtics, Kevin Garnett started playing well after he had a hankering for a peanut, butter and jelly sandwich.Now, the whole NBA league is engaging in elaborate pregame PBJ  rituals as if the cafeteria snack was a  performance-enhancing Gatorade. During the Kansas City Royals 2016 playoff run, a praying mantis showed up in their dugout. That night, the Royals won, and maintaining the newly dubbed Rally Mantis became outfielder Billy Burns’ duty, who would kiss the insect’s  plastic home for good luck.With all of these rituals, you’re searching for positive meaning in an industry filled with  unfair breaks and daily heartbreaks.The science behind superstitions - should you indulge them at work?Is believing in superstitions helpful or not?Critics would say believing in them is a sig n of an irrational mind. But a 2010 study found that when participants did  superstitious rituals  like saying “break a leg” or crossing their fingers, their “subsequent performance in golfing, motor dexterity, memory, and anagram games” would improve.By knowing that the odds were in their favor, people’s self-confidence would get  boosted and they increased their “belief in their ability to master a task.”The participants who did rituals were also more persistent with their tasks than those who didn’t engage in the rituals. The more people believed in their good luck, the more optimistic and hopeful they would act. Success  became a self-fulfilling prophecy.As long as you aren’t hurting yourself or others to maintain your superstition, it’s fine to believe in these higher powers. Keep eating your peanut butter and jelly sandwich before every game. Throw a dead octopus onto a hockey rink. Wear your rally beard and faux mohawk. Whatever external force is keeping t he belief in yourself going, keep at it. This world and these games are built for heartbreak; superstitions can ease the burn.Just remember that the clock will reset, and we  will all begin anew tomorrow.

Tips for Students and Grads Starting a Law Career

Tips for Students and Grads Starting a Law Career Tips for Students and Grads Starting a Law Career Are you a college student interested in a law career? Maybe you love watching reruns of “Law and Order” or “The Practice,” or maybe you want a professional degree to stand out in today’s competitive job market. As a college student, there are things you can do now to set the stage for a future career as an attorney. Read these tips on preparing for a law degree, and check out the list of skills you need to succeed in a law career. Tip #1: Focus on Your Academic Record Study hard and compile a record of academic excellence while in college. However, don’t worry if you are not at the top of your class. There are law schools for students of nearly all academic backgrounds since there is a wide range of competitiveness for admission to different schools. Law schools look at more than just your grades as well â€" they care about your LSAT scores, your skill sets, your extracurricular and work history, and your reasons for applying to law school. Tip #2: Get a Jump on Law Courses Take a couple of law courses  if they are offered at your school to experiment with the type of study required and to test your interest. Tip #3: Choose a Challenging Major An academically challenging major will help you to develop a strong work ethic. A challenging major will also help you practice important skills that will be necessary for a law career, like critical thinking, argumentation, and writing. If you already know what kind of law you are interested in, you can use that to help decide your major. Political science or history are great majors for those interested in government or politics. Economics and business are ideal for those interested in corporate law, psychology for criminal law, biology for health law and computer science or engineering for technology or patent law. English is also a great major for a future legal career because it helps you develop your writing and argumentation skills. Tip #4: Choose Appropriate Clubs and Groups Investigate opportunities through your school  to participate in moot court and other debate activities. Law schools will see this engagement as evidence of your genuine interest in the law; this can help separate you from the many applicants who choose law as a default career option. Tip #5: Join Student Government Consider participating in student government  since you will gain experience in drafting legislation for your campus. This is another terrific experience to mention in your law school applications. Tip #6: Volunteer With Community-Based Organizations Most law schools are interested in attorneys who will spend some of their time advancing the public good. Some volunteer positions might even involve writing memos, campaigning, or other skills that will be valuable in a future legal career. Tip #7: Demonstrate Your Writing Skills   Law is a writing-intensive profession. Strengthen your writing skills and demonstrate these skills by doing a senior project or independent study, working for your campus newspaper, taking a couple of English courses, creating a blog, or choosing a writing-intensive major. Tip #8: Conduct  Informational Interviews   Line up interviews with as many attorneys as possible through alumni and family connections. Try to speak with attorneys in different fields of law to get a rich sense of the many areas of legal practice. This is a good way for you to learn what fields of law you are most interested in. Tip #9:  Job Shadow   Job shadow a few attorneys  in interesting fields to see what it is like to be in their shoes for a few days. It can be fun to go to court and observe proceedings! Talk to someone in your college career services office or your alumni office, or speak with a family friend in law to arrange a job shadow experience. Tip #10: Intern in the Law Field Gain some legal experience by  interning  at a local law firm or legal aid society, or interning with a public defender or district attorney. Working side by side with attorneys can help you verify your interest in the field and make valuable contacts. If you have a good experience at a law firm as a college student, the internship might become a summer job while at law school. Tips for College Graduates If you have already graduated or arent ready to attend law school right after graduation, consider working as a legal assistant (also known as a paralegal) for a couple of years prior to law school. The pay isnt bad and you will be able to meet many different lawyers and observe their work (even though you may be performing very basic tasks). Try to work at a law firm you are interested in or a firm that practices a type of law you are curious about. This will also help you decide what kind of law career you might want to have. If you follow these steps in the years prior to law school, you will be more likely to make a sound decision about your legal career and amass an impressive array of credentials for your law school applications. Legal Skills List and Examples From environmental law to criminal law to property law, every legal career requires a different skill set. However, there are a few skills that are necessary for anyone in law. While in college, look for opportunities to develop some of these skills. You can work on these skills in your classes, extracurriculars, and volunteer activities. For example, you can develop your research skills while working on a thesis paper, or practice your leadership and teamwork skills by participating in student government. When you apply for law school, use some of the skills keywords below in your applications. In your application, highlight the experiences that helped you develop these skills. This will help you stand out from the competition. Analytical skills: Lawyers need to be able to use sound judgment to assess complex cases.
