Should I Separate My Business Values From My Personal Values Should I Separate My Business Values From My Personal Values The present inquiry originates from a bustling proficient: Would it be advisable for me to isolate my business esteems from my own qualities? Would it be a good idea for me to work with an association, regardless of whether I dont actually concur with what they do? For instance, imagine a scenario where an organization approaches me for help dealing with their Web reputation and I dont put stock in their practices or their item. Whether self-utilized or working for an organization, a great many people feel it is basic to remain lined up with their standards. In any case, what does it really mean to never wander from ones qualities over the span of a vocation? For instance, a criminal protection legal advisor may help crooks and get them back in the city. That is their activity however they themselves are not lawbreakers. They have faith in the law. It is safe to say that they are neutralizing their standards? Not really. They believe that every individual has the privilege to a reasonable preliminary.

Become Your Own Job Creator in 10 Simple Steps

Become Your Own Job Creator in 10 Simple Steps 410 Maybe what you're looking for has been right in front of you all along. This is a guest post by Donna Sweidan. You may have noticed that the job landscape today is very different than the one we were looking at just five years ago. And although there is a lot of talk about jobs returning, the job search market is likely to remain daunting for many people. More and more, companies and individuals are shifting away from full-time salaried jobs to hiring freelance or contract workers. Individuals have to adapt to this ongoing trend. Let’s face it:eval Making a living today is just not how it used to be. Landing a full-time job takes more time and effort, and there is no guarantee that there will be a job with your name on it. So we had better start figuring out how to make a living! Freelancing is no longer reserved for writers or graphic designers. In a world where every job is temporary, micro-jobs may be the new norm for people in many fields. Whether you are an accountant or a teacher, every professional can create their own opportunity.eval Freelancers and small business owners Join 4 million freelancers who use Payoneer’s payment solutions: Lower fees Faster payment Greater flexibility Sign up and get $25* Navigating this new environment is very challenging and intimidating for those of us who are used to the old way of doing things. However, there are 10 simple steps you can take to reboot your career for the new era: 1. Know what you are good at or what you want to do The foundation of career success is knowing what you are good at and what you want to do. Without a specific target, your ability to successfully articulate what you are looking for is diminished. What to do: Conduct a thorough self-assessment, ideally with the help of a career counselor or even a friend (family members are not very objective when it comes to helping you with this). If you have a particular skill or interest that stands out from the rest, this is the place to start. One mom I know had spent so much time learning how to deal with her son’s severe allergies that she is now working on developing a small business helping other parents understand allergies after becoming a certified coach. Children with severe life threatening allergies are becoming more and more common. 2. Look around you and see what people need Start with people in your community. Conduct a survey of your family and friends via Facebook to see where there might be a need. Surveymonkey.com provides a free service for their basic offerings- all you need. If your community has a Yahoo group or something similar, put your questions out there. If you recognize the need, offer your services to a school, church or synagogue auctions. That is a great way to test the waters, while also getting word out to a large group of people about your services. And if you do a decent job, the least you’ll come away with is a testimonial. The most, a new ongoing client and referral source. Where to go: Craigslist.org, TaskRabbit.com, Facebook’s Marketplace APP, Care.com, Surveymonkey.com, Yahoo Groups, Community silent auctions, LinkedIn.com 3. Find the right job boards for you Today, there are an enormous number of websites that are seeking people to complete projects of every size and dollar amount. On a site like Elance.com, you can bid for projects ranging from $100 to create a custom itinerary (which is what one creative professional did out of her passion for exotic travel) to $10,000 for website design. According to their website, Freelancer.com helps professionals in “software, writing, data entry and design right through to engineering and the sciences, sales and marketing, and accounting and legal services.” As the captain of your career, your job is to establish a broad and diverse pipeline of work. Don’t get turned off by the initial low rates. While you may not get paid the rate you want (or need) for your first assignment, clients are getting to know your work and will pay you more the second time around. It’s an investment in future work. You are building your portfolio of work, and you are building up your confidence to ask for more money the next time you prospect a consulting opportunity. You’re also gaining potential testimonials and referrals for more work down the line. Where to go: TaskRabbit.com, Elance.com, Fiverr.com, 99designs.com, 3to30.com, Care.com, Freelancer.com, Solvate.com, icrunchdata.com, sologig.com, Flexibleresources.com, and other freelance marketplaces 4. Give yourself a real title Just because you are not “employed” in the traditional sense doesn’t mean your new title is “unemployed.” Whether you want to call yourself a freelancer or a consultant or an imagination engineer, the bottom line is that you don’t need an old-school job to give yourself a professional identity. You have a wide range of skills, and it’s up to you to determine by what skill set (or sets) you want to be known. Whether your have developed your skills through education or just good old experience, if you give yourself a title and believe in what you do, people will believe in you. 5. Find out what others are willing to pay for your skills Shop around and find out what others are charging for their expertise. People who work for themselves are often more candid about what they charge than employed professionals making a salary. Use freelance sites as a starting point, or check with the freelance association for your industry. Remember, you may charge a lower rate to get your business going, but as you get your name out there and your confidence and freelance experience grows, you will gradually be able to increase your rate. 6. Become social media savvy Social media is the launch pad to establishing your visibility and credibility. No matter where you are in your career today, everyone needs to jump on this bandwagon. Successful job search strategy relies more on self-promotion than on a passive search approach. Whether it’s The Gap or Coach, every product and business needs to market itself; the same goes for us as individuals. Establish our own personal brand and market it, boldly. Where to go: The most popular contenders are Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, WordPress. 7. Cultivate new skills No matter what field you are in, expanding your skill set can only enhance your services and ability to increase your income. Do the research first. Study job descriptions for your ideal job, and see what are the skill sets that you don’t possess yet. Social media may be one of those skills, or maybe it’s HTML. Identify which services are in demand on the various freelancing sites mentioned above. Retooling and keeping up with technological advances is critical if you want to be of value in the marketplace. 8. Learn the art of shameless self-promotion When you are looking for a job, many people ask their friends to see if there are positions at their companies. While this is great, and I highly encourage you to reach out to everyone you know, it is also somewhat limiting in the case that there are no jobs available immediately. After you have put the word out there about looking for a traditional job, you can then follow up and let everyone you know that while you are looking for full-time opportunities, you are also setting up shop as a consultant and you are available to provide XYZ services. Use good ol’ email, Facebook, and LinkedIn to market your services, initially, to your family and friends. Add in the websites mentioned earlier and you will soon start to cultivate a clientele. 9. Create your own business card You don’t have to be “employed” by a company to have a business card. You are the business, and you should get in the mood to market yourself! Figure out your value proposition: what are the key skills you offer? Voila! You have the content for creating your own business card. Don’t forget to create a strong LinkedIn profile and add that to your card. I recommend that you create a business profile on LinkedIn too, but you need to have a business URL for that. Trade in your Gmail account for an inexpensive domain name (www.YourName.com) at sites like namecheap.com. If you have set up a business page on Facebook (free), add that too, in addition to any other social media links that people can use to learn about you and your work. Where to go: Design your own cards at sites such as Vistaprint.com and Moo.com. 10. Build your confidence with a group At the core of a successful job search, whether it’s for traditional employment or for contract freelance work, is a confident and thoughtful person. No doubt, marketing yourself can result in lots of rejection, but what is a job search, after all? This approach of marketing yourself does indeed require a thick skin, but, hey, what have you got to lose? Find a group of cheerleaders who can support you when you’re feeling down. Better yet, create your own support group to get your new consulting or freelancing business off the ground. This is called a “Business Mastermind” group, and it’s the brainchild of Napoleon Hill, author of Think and Grow Rich. Not only are there a lot of people in the same place as you who could benefit from mutual support, but by pulling together you will gain ideas and a network of a small group of people as well as a group to be accountable to. The group can help you stay focused and confident as you work toward your goal. They say “luck favors the prepared,” so give some of these steps a try and prepare yourself to be hired. You just never know who might need your skills. But if they don’t know you exist, they can’t hire you.

Social Media An Executive Decision

Social Media An Executive Decision Hey look at Greg (fake name). He is having a meltdown in front of his fancy work peeps. I hear him saying, “ F#@K, S$#T, I can’t do this.” Graphite hits the ground. Poor guy turns a fun game of tennis into an ego match with his executive buddies. Greg is a good athlete. MBA from a famous school. What’s the matter? Greg latter confides in me for tennis pointers. Not a pro, but I know a thing or two about the sport. His main concern is how he looks when he plays the game. He wants to look good and beat his executive buddies at the annual company retreat in California. That’s his first problem. Caring how others think. I say to him, “Play like nobody’s watching. Play your own way.” In short, it worked. He made an executive decision. That’s my hook. Famous news media everywhere, Wall Street Journal amongst one of them, are telling us how CEOs and Executives fear SoMe (that means Social Media). They tell us seven in 10 Fortune 500 CEOs have no presence on major social media networks such as Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. Those who do, 4% have known Twitter accounts and 8% use Facebook under their own names. I do not care if a CEO or executive chooses TO BE or NOT to be on Twitter or Facebook or whatever SoMe site. I know more exciting people to engage with than a boring business stiff who talks like they have something up their keister. Do you really want to read another article from an MBA schooled executive about strategy? Nope. Even worse when that stiff hires a PR or Marketing firm to engage with me on SoMe. I DO care if a stiff is interested in developing human relationships. I am human. I can say that. I find it cool when I connect and engage with someone online who later becomes a real life person conversation and relationship. Also called networking. Just happened over coffee the other day as it has before with me. That is kinda cool. Oh. Hello Dr. Daniel Crosby. Check out one of his good talks here, Youre Not That Great. So why do they fear it? I dunna know. Maybe because they do not understand it. Makes sense. Nobody really does until they try it. We fear the unknown. Gone are the days of preaching SoMe like a religion. Let it be an executive decision. Continue to lead by example and educate when asked or given the chance. @lruettimann from the Cynical Girl just busted an HR brethren for doing it wrong. Check it out. I get why an executive would not want to be on SoMe. They are not celebrities. Many do enough public appearances and have no time for another spotlight. SoMe is not for everyone. Nobody can tell them how The Twitter will raise their stock price. If a CEO or executive has a purpose for it, then do it. Do not hire someone to do it for your name. And when you do do it like nobody is watching. Do it your own way. The same way I would tell you to play tennis. That is an executive decision. Related: What Social Media Teaches Us About Leadership.

Arm Yourself With Facts Before Making a Decision - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

Arm Yourself With Facts Before Making a Decision - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career How many times have you made a serious decision based on your gut feeling? Or played a hunch? Or followed your inner spirit guide? While making a decision based on your gut feeling may seem like a good idea, you need to make sure you have as much pertinent, factual, real-world based information before you make a final decision. Thinking about attending a conference for the first time, or even the 10th time? Its not just a matter of how awesome the people are, or the warm fuzzy feeling you get from seeing all your friends again. Did you get a return on the investment? Did you increase sales, or get any money-making opportunities from it? If you did, then go again. If not, stay home and put the money toward something more useful. Or what about keeping a regular blog? Are you getting sales leads from it? Or selling books? Or increasing web traffic and search engine ranks? Check your Google Analytics score to see if youre getting the kind of traffic you want, and figure out what you need to do if you want to increase it. If youre not getting anything, you either need to put more effort into it, or drop it completely. And how about increasing book sales, white paper downloads, or email newsletter subscriptions from guest blog posts? Worth it or waste of time? Set up a special Bitly link and measure the number of clicks from the Bitly link to your selected pages. While this may not be a completely accurate way of measuring sales (i.e. you dont know if all the Bitly clicks resulted in sales or subscriptions, or if they were from other sources), you can at least get a pretty good idea of what kind of traffic youre getting. No clicks means no traffic, which means you need to optimize better or find a different way to promote yourself. You may even be considering hiring someone into your company. While a good gut feeling is very important in hiring new people â€" because you want to be able to relate to them easily and comfortably â€" you still need to know how well theyll perform. Consider using a personality assessment to see if their personality and style will fit with your organizations. Work with candidates to see how much value they brought to their previous employer â€" did they increase revenue or save money? Do they bring new ideas to the table, or do they prefer to only be told what to do, and cant make a decision on their own? If they produced, and you like them, theyre a good fit. If they didnt produce, it doesnt matter how much you like them, they probably wont produce for you either. Before you embark on a new venture, or try to give up an old one, make sure you make the decision based on cold, hard facts, not gut feelings. While some people believe that gut feelings are nothing more than our intuition based on our subconscious processing of the facts, you know what works better? Conscious processing of the facts. Make sure you have them on hand before you decide anything. Even if you do follow your intuition in making new decisions, make sure you can back those decisions up with logic, statistics, and results. This way, you can be sure youre making the best, most informed decision you can. Author: Erik Deckers is the owner of Professional Blog Service, and the co-author of Branding Yourself: How to Use Social Media to Invent or Reinvent Yourself and No Bullshit Social Media: The All-Business, No-Hype Guide to Social Media Marketing. His third book, The Owned Media Doctrine, will be available this summer.

Advice For Starting A Career In Nursing

Advice For Starting A Career In Nursing A career in nursing is a difficult but very fulfilling role. Many individuals who get into nursing, choose it for a variety of reasons but all of them want to help sick or injured patients to get better. If you’re considering a career in nursing, then there’s some advice you should consider before pursuing this line of work. Be Prepared For A Few Years Of Education Like other industries, nursing requires a few years of studying in order to earn the qualifications to become qualified. There’s plenty of courses and routes of study, so it’s worth doing your research and finding out what’s best for you. It’s useful to get into the mindset of studying as a nursing degree does require a lot of commitment and concentration. You’ll also need to think about funding and what finances you’ll need in order to complete your studying and training.    You can begin alongside your current job, but you should make the arrangements to be able to afford it if you had to give up your job.  It Can Be Quite Competitive It depends on the program you apply to, but nursing schools are quite competitive to get into. Some may prefer a high GPA while others will look at experience and previous courses that the individual has taken. Research is something you should be thinking about in order to work out which school or program, in particular, is best for you in regards to the previous experience or training you’ve had so far. Even if you don’t get in initially, you shouldn’t see it as a negative or that you aren’t good enough. It might just be that you don’t yet have enough experience and often enough, these institutions will give you guidance and advice on how to make your application stronger, the next time around.  Long And Unsociable Hours Are Expected Nursing is a particular career that you should really think about because even though it sounds like something you’d love to do, the lifestyle isn’t for everyone. Often enough the hours will be varied, long and unsociable which works for some people. If you enjoy your sleep and a good social life, then this career might not be exactly what you’re looking for. Not that you can’t have that but if your lifestyle doesn’t match to that of a typical day of nursing then it can be a harsh wake-up call. In this case, it’s worth talking to those that are already in the field because they can give you real advice on what the job is like, warts and all.  Being Responsible When it comes to nursing, you’ll be dealing with individuals directly and in some cases, their life is essentially in your hands. With that in mind, it’s important to know how much responsibility is required of you to take on this type of role. When things go wrong, attorney, David Aden who is a licensed nurse and lawyer will step in for victims of medical negligence. So it’s crucial that you know the risks and responsibilities that come with nursing. You’ll want to carefully think about whether or not you are at the right point in your life where you can take on this amount of authority. Everyone is different, so don’t get upset if you don’t feel quite ready for it. Your time will certainly come in the future.  What Type Of Nursing Do You Want To Do? Like other industries, there are a plethora of nursing roles that you can do and you may find one is more suitable for you than the other. Some examples to look at are as follows: Registered Nursing These are nurses who’ll have a bachelors or associate’s degree. They’ll assist physicians in the hospital for a variety of treatments and illnesses.  Licensed Nursing Licensed nurses have the ability to administer medication and give injections. They’ll normally be supervised by a registered nurse.  Clinical Nurse Specialist By being a specialist, you’ll be able to diagnose within a specified field of medical illnesses. This is ideal if you want to just cover a specific or niche area.  Intensive Care Unit Registered Nurse The ICU is a particularly difficult department to work in but most hospitals will give continued training to a registered nurse before working in this department.  Labor and Delivery Registered Nurse This one is certainly a fulfilling role as you’ll be helping to bring life into the world. You’ll be responsible during labor, childbirth and even after birth. So with this advice, hopefully, you’ll want to consider a career in nursing, whether it’s something you’ve always wanted to do, or for a change in career.

If you are a jobseeker currently looking for his or her next career change, you may find yourself wondering whether you should use a recruitment agency or CV distribution service in a bid to generate more potential leads.

And while the vast majority of recruiters are professional, there are a handful (like everything in life) that should be avoided. Ask your friends, family, college recruiting office and business associates for a list of respected recruiters.

Each year, recruitment agencies help millions of people throughout the world make their next move and land their dream jobs, and you could be next. There are several reasons why its usually a good idea to trust a recruitment agency with your CV, and these are some of the best. source #1: Recruitment Agencies Know Your Industry In many cases, they will know the industry you are in better than you do. Many recruitment agencies and recruitment agents are specialists within certain industries and have spent several years working in these industries themselves. Its quite common for recruitment agencies to specialize in a small handful of niche areas such as sales, IT and graduate jobs, and then these areas are broken down further depending on the agency and the recruitment specialists working at the firm. If you are considering using a recruitment agency, its always best to go with one which has proven specialist experience within your industry rather than a generalist agency Recruitment agents know industries like the back of their hand and they are best-placed to help you shine bright amongst the many candidates going for the same job. Recruitment agents know industries like the back of their hand and they are best-placed to help you shine bright amongst the many candidates going for the same job. Tweet This #2: They Can Get Your CV In Front of the Right People Many recruitment agencies and agents have direct relationships and access to important key decision-makers in some of the countrys leading companies. These people can include human resources departments, partners and directors. When you send an online application to a firm vs having it sent through a recruitment agency, it may never reach the right person and youll almost always never get any feedback. When an agency does this, they will be able to make sure it ends up in front of the right person and get you useful feedback should you not be successful. #3: Save Lots of Time By far, especially if you are still working or are otherwise busy, the best part about using a recruitment agency is that it saves tonnes of time. After all, searching for a job is a full-time job in itself, and many people who are still holding down jobs whilst looking for their next role will miss out on opportunities, forget to send in applications, and make silly mistakes. In contrast, a recruitment agents job is to find your next job. Their full-time day-to-day is to do everything for you and you will stand a much better chance of securing an interview by using a recruitment agency if you dont have the free time to dedicate 100% effort to your job search.

Additionally, agencies rely heavily on referrals and they are much more likely to secure these if they do a good job of helping you. source #4: Receive Good Feedback Recruitment agencies wont leave you in the dark if youre not successful post-interview. They will secure detailed and critical feedback from whoever interviewed you so that you can take this on board and then use it to stand a better chance in the future. Some of the feedback received can sometimes seem harsh, especially when its coming from the mouth of a recruitment agent, but its important to take it in your stride so that you can improve yourself and get ready for future interviews. Sometimes, finding that dream job can be a long process and receiving good feedback can help you make changes you would never have considered otherwise.
