How Many Job Changes in a Career is Normal

How Many Job Changes in a Career is NormalHow Many Job Changes in a Career is NormalFor anyone with a resume filled with a slew of job titles and positions, the common question from interviewers, recruiters and hiring managers can get a bit repetitive. Why did you leave your last job? While there are plenty of great answers to help you navigate ansicht choppy waters, there may come a point in your career when you worry about the impact of too many prior positions. And what even counts as too many in todays modern job market?Theres a common bit of advice that states the average worker will have seven different positions over the course of their career. Where exactly this figure originates from is a bit of a mystery and experts in the field of labor statistics pretty much agree that the random figure isnt an accurate measure across the board. Although increasingly uncommon, some workers choose a company or position and stick with it their entire careers while others flit from job to jo b, racking up a dozen or more changes.According to a survey by Future Workplace 91 percent of Millennials expect to stay at a job for less than three years. While you may be tempted to chalk this figure up to the flightiness of the younger generation, the reasoning behind modern workforce entrants expecting a shorter term is a bit more complicated than the whims of the age. Here we delve into the whys of the boom in short job stays and the impact numerous positions on your work history may have on your ability to score a future job.More than a Modern TrendThe penchant for shorter stays at a given company isnt something that has developed overnight. Statistics from the U.S. Department of Labor show that in 1996, 9 percent of workers had been with their present employer for 20 years or more. Recent figures show that number dropping drastically post-recession. In addition, modern job seekers seem to be trying on for size a greater number of initial positions before settling on a long-t erm career or company. Most analysts agree that the reason for this trend has less to do with age and more to do with changes in thinking about total compensation and the overhead of a large workforce, post-recession. With increasing costs of healthcare, the concept of pensions all but gone the way of the dinosaur, and a focus on efficiency and eliminating excess costs, many companies have tightened the purse strings when it comes to bonuses, raises, and internal promotions. This, in turn, has led to employees having to seek different jobs with outside companies in order to get that bump in salary or responsibility.What Can You Do to Be Prepared for Questions re Job Changes?Given the increase in job-hopping employers and employees both have to get comfortable with the fact that todays newest hire may not be the long-term solution to your employment needs. Employers should recognize that in order to retain quality candidates they may need to make bigger strides in compensation and ot her methods for increasing employee satisfaction with their position.For prospective employees, be prepared to address the whys and hows of numerous job moves. While employers should be more understanding based on current trends, this wont stop them from quizzing you if you have a history of not short-terming your prior job positions. Be prepared with facts regarding your departure from previous positions and the characteristics youre looking for in a long-term career. Assurances in these areas will help your employer get comfortable that you can commit to a position, if its the right one.

9 First Job Mistakes Even Successful People Made -The Muse

9 First Job Mistakes Even Successful People Made -The Muse9 First Job Mistakes Even Successful People MadeOne of the things that distinguishes successful people from everyone else is their ability to rebound from failure. Which means that bouncing back from a mistake is one of the most important skills you can learn in your career- and the earlier the better.But you already know that.When you reflect back on your first job, along with all of those heart-warming firsts (Your first paycheck Your first big save Your first time running point), you also remember all of those things you had to learn by messing them up the first-time around.And thats OK. Looking back now, you know that, everybody makes mistakes isnt just something people say to make you feel better. Its the truth.Bearing that in mind can help you even now, regardless of how far along you are in your career. Remembering how far youve come- and that everyone you work with has made mistakes and felt the very same way- can help you break out of an I suck rut. Want proof were all in this together? We asked our LinkedIn followers to share the mistakes everyone makes on thier first job- and their answers had us all nodding our heads in agreement. Oh, and if theyre still plaguing you, we have fixes too1. You Didnt Ask Questionselend asking questions. Industry jargon can be overwhelming, if not intimidating, but you dont ask because youre afraid to look stupid.ChantalOdds are you didnt speak up, because you were worried people would judge you and didnt want to to look like a rookie. But now, you know even the most experienced people ask questions when theyre confused Its a sign of a confident and curious person.Seriously Studies show asking questions makes you look smarter.(And if acronyms are still tripping you up, heres a cheat sheet to the 123 most common ones)2. When You Did Ask, You ApologizedPeople shouldnt feel guilty about asking questions. A question is often followed with an apology. Questions are ve ry important to gain context, direction, and knowledge...DamianDid you regularly follow up a question with Im sorry for asking? By now you know its nothing to apologize for And if you still struggle with this, try switching it out for, Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. This two-word swap will make you- and your co-workers- view the conversation that much more positively.3. You (Thought You) Asked Too ManyAsking (whats perceived by others as) too many questions. Being curious is a good thing Its a matter of you phrase the question and deliver it. There is a difference between coming across as unsure of yourself vs. eager to learn.HelenYou mightve felt like only a nuisance would ask so many questions. But, if youre noting a theme, its that thats not a bad thing However, if youre at a place where your co-workers seem annoyed or too busy to help, one option is to ask them if they can point you to resources that would hold the answers youre looking for.4. You Emailed E veryoneIncluding too many (or perhaps the wrong) people on emails.ZacMuse writer Kat Boogard has a simple rule of thumb Listing someone in the To field means you expect a response. In contrast, if you CC that person, youre simply keeping him in the loop on your message to others. (And if you want to understand CC vs. BCC vs. Reply All, check this out).5. You Sent Back One-Word RepliesPlease dont reply to every email, from everyone, only saying, ThanksBrianYou used to fire off a quick reply of Thanks thinking the other person would appreciate how fast you got back to them. But now you know that people prefer a useful response, even if it takes a little longer. So, before you hit send, double check youre reflecting on what the other person said (and answering any questions or attaching requested information).6. You Forgot Peoples NamesGetting someones name wrong. It happens.KerryIt does happen- perhaps even to this day. Whether the other person corrects you or you later learn you were calling them the wrong name all meeting, fixing its pretty simple. Apologize (without dwelling on it), and get it right from there on out. It sounds like this Oh, Im sorry. Thanks so much for correcting, me, Janet. As I was saying... 7. You Pretended to Know More Than You DidStating you know something when you really dont, and then youre asked to do it by your supervisor. Its OK to say, I dont know.JoanneBy now you know I dont know can be a powerful phrase. It shows your manager youre courageous enough to be honest and can identify when youre not an expert at something. (If you still dont feel comfortable saying those exact words, sub-in one of these three phrases in its place.)8. You Undervalued Grunt WorkNot fully understanding (or misunderstanding) the purpose behind a task or project. Sometimes seemingly menial work is very important, and its crucial to get it done correctly...CassieToo often, people look at certain tasks as simply paying your dues. And while those projects may not be flashy and exciting, you can now see how they played a role in the scheme of things. Transfer that knowledge to newer people on the team. When you assign a low-level task, take the time to explain how it contributes to the bigger picture. Not just that, but rolling up your sleeves and pitching in matters even today. Show that you are a dependable team player by giving your all, even to projects that arent glamorous.9. You Didnt Speak Up When You Were Overloaded...While its good to be willing to perform a variety of tasks, eventually one needs to recognize when they are either out of their depth, or simply have taken on too much. If youre afraid to say no, be willing to ask your boss which of your tasks should be your priority.KristinEven seasoned professional struggle with their workload, so if you learned this one early on, youre ahead of the game. At any stage, you dont want to stay silent when youre overworked. Take Kristins advice and have a talk with your boss where you discuss your workload and ask them to help your prioritize.Admitting a mistake is something I respect from new hires. Everyone makes mistakes Its how you handle it that shows what kind of employee youll be in the long run...BrittanyAll told, one of the biggest mistakes people make is hiding from them. If you cant admit something went wrong, youll never learn from it. So, be honest about where things got off course (earlier in your career, as well as today), so you can keep moving forward.Did we miss a big one? Let me know on Twitter.

4 Things Your Resume Cant Do

4 Things Your Resume Cant Do 4 Things Your Resume Cant Do A great resume can further your career. The stronger it is, the more interviews youll land. An excellent resume can even get you headhuntedHowever, no matter how good your resume is, it cant do all of the heavy lifting in the job search process. While it canmake a fantastic first impression and provideemployers with adetailed account of your career history, here are four things your resume cant do1. ItCant Showcase Your Level of MotivationWhile many people write highly motivated on their resumes, it is much harder for your resume to prove that is true. Furthermore, because so many people include this genericstatement on their resumes, many recruiters dismiss it altogether.When it comes to proving your motivation, actions speak louder than words. Instead of saying that you are motivated, show it. Start by writing a strong, tailoredcover letter- partally addressed to the hiring manager - to show off your commitment to the ro le. After submitting your application, call, email, or send a LinkedIn message to the recruiter to follow up. This simple act will show the employer you are highly interested in the role and keen to join the company.2. ItCant Fully Convey Your PersonalityMore and more businesses are hiring peoplebased on personality and culture fit rather than technical skill sets. While a resume can explain your career history, goals, and past experience, it is not an ideal medium for getting your personality across while remaining professional.The best way to show recruiters and hiring managers your personality is to speak to them. Push for a call or face-to-face meeting with the recruiter and/or hiring manager. This will give you an opportunity to convey your personality and passion through your tone of voice, body language, and verbal communication. As recruiters and hiring managers get to know you, theyll get a better feel for the kind of person you are and what you can bring to the team.3. It Cant Explain What You Want From a New RoleEveryone hastheir own reasons for applying for aposition. However, your resumeis not the place to explain what you want for the future. Instead, your resume should focus on what you can bring to the organization and what you have donefor previous organizations.Still,the hiring manager will want to know why you want to work for their company. Your cover letter is the place to share those reasons. Similarly, you can join networking groups related to the organization and its industry, which will show recruiters you are genuinely interested in the role as a vital piece of your career.4. It Cant Explain Why Youre Leaving Your Current RoleOn your resume, you only have a limited amount of space to sell yourself. You dont want touse any of that space to detail why you cant wait to get away from your current position.Once again, this is a scenario in which your cover letter is the better bet. Here, you have room to explain why you are leaving your cu rrent role. Remember Your reasons should be positive ones. Rather than complaining about your current employer, focus on seeking new challenges and outgrowing your position.It can alsohelp to pick up the phone and talk to the recruiter or hiring manager. That way, you can demonstrate your passion for the new role while explaining why it represents a positive progression from your existing position.Andrew Fennell is a former recruiter and founder ofStandOut CV.Master the art of closing deals and making placements.

Cant keep your New Years resolutions Try being kind to yourself

Cant keep your New Years resolutions Try being kind to yourselfCant keep your New Years resolutions Try being kind to yourselfMany of us will start out the New Year by making a list of resolutions changes we want to make to be happier such as eating better, volunteering more often, being a more attentive spouse and so on. But, as we know, we will often fail. After a few failures we will typically give up and go back to our old habits.Why is it so hard to stick to resolutions that require us to make effective or lasting changes?I would argue the problem isnt that we try and we fail the problem is how we treat ourselves when we fail. I study self-compassion, and my research and that of others show that how we relate to personal failure with kindness or harsh self-judgment is incredibly important for building resilience.From early childhood, we are taught that we must succeed at all costs. What most of us arent taught is how to fail successfully so we can change and grow.One of the best ways to deal with failure is to have self-compassion.What exactly is self-compassion?I define self-compassion as having three main components self-kindness, common humanity and mindfulness. Self-kindness refers to the tendency to be caring, understanding and supportive toward ourselves when we fail or make mistakes rather than being harshly critical or judgmental.Common humanity involves recognizing that all humans are imperfect, and connecting our own flawed condition to the shared human condition so we can have greater perspective on our shortcomings.Mindfulness involves being aware of the pain associated with failure in a clear and balanced manner so that we neither ignore nor obsess about our faults. The three together combine to create a self-compassionate frame of mind.A large body of research shows that self-compassion results in greater emotional well-being. One of the most consistent findings in this research is that greater self-compassion is linked to less depression , anxiety and stress.In addition to reducing such negative mind states, self-compassion appears to enhance positive mind states such as optimism, gratitude and curiosity. By meeting ones suffering with the warm embrace of self-compassion, positive feelings such as happiness are generated at the saatkorn time that negative emotions are alleviated.Self-compassion has been found to be an important source of coping and resilience in the face of various life stressors such as divorce, chronic health conditions or military combat. It also reduces body dissatisfaction and even leads to healthier eating behavior (relevant to many New Years resolutions).Misgivings about self-compassionIf self-compassion is so good for us, why arent we kinder to ourselves?Perhaps the biggest block to self-compassion is the belief that it will undermine our motivation. In parenting circles we no longer hold to the adage spare the rod spoil the child. When it comes to our own selves, however, many of us think t hat sparing the rod of harsh self-criticism will turn us into lazy, self-indulgent neer-do-wells. This theme constantly comes up in the workshops I teach.Of course, the dynamics that go into motivating our children and motivating ourselves are quite similar. Lets say your teenage son were to come home with a failing English grade. You have two ways to motivate him to try harder and do better next time.You could admonish him and tell him how stupid he is and that you are ashamed of him. The other option is, knowing how upset he is, you could give him a hug and gently ask him how you could support him in doing better next time. This type of caring, encouraging response would help your son maintain his self-confidence and feel emotionally supported. The same goes for how we respond to ourselves when we fail.How does self-compassion increase motivation?A growing body of research indicates that self-compassion is linked to greater motivation. Self-compassion has been associated with incr eased personal initiative the desire to reach ones full potential.Self-compassionate people are also more likely to adopt mastery goals, which focus on learning and mastering material to increase competence, and less likely to adopt performance goals, which are primarily concerned with succeeding to make a favorable impression on others.While self-compassionate people have performance standards that are as high as those who are harshly self-critical, they dont get as upset when they dont reach their goals. As a result, self-compassionate people have less performance anxiety and engage in fewer self-defeating behaviors such as procrastination.Not only are self-compassionate people less likely to fear failure, but when they do fail theyre more likely to pick themselves up and try again.A series of experiments by psychologists Juliana Breines and Serena Chen from the University of California at Berkeley examined whether helping undergraduate students to be more self-compassionate woul d impact their motivation to change.In one study, participants were asked to recall a recent action they felt guilty about cheating on an exam, lying to a romantic partner, saying something harmful, etc. something that still made them feel badeanstalt when they thought about it.Next, they were randomly assigned to one of three conditions. In the self-compassion condition, participants were instructed to write to themselves for three minutes from the perspective of a compassionate and understanding friend.The second condition had people write about all their positive qualities, and the third about a hobby they enjoyed. These two control conditions helped to differentiate self-compassion from positive self-talk and positive mood in general.The researchers found that participants who were helped to be self-compassionate about their recent transgressions reported being more motivated to apologize for the harm done and more committed to not repeating the behavior than those in the cont rol conditions.Sustaining motivation through kindnessAnother study in this same series of experiments explored whether self-compassion would directly translate into greater efforts to learn after failure. Students were given a difficult vocabulary test they all did poorly on.One group of students welches given an instruction to be self-compassionate about their failure. The instruction said,If you had difficulty with the test you just took, youre not alone. Its common for students to have difficulty with tests like this. If you feel bad about how you did, try not to be too hard on yourself.Another group was given a self-esteem boost, which said,If you had difficulty with the test you just took, try not to feel bad about yourself you must be intelligent if you got into BerkeleyA third group of participants was given no additional instructions.The students were next told that they would receive a second vocabulary test, and were given a list of words and definitions they could study for as long as they wanted before taking it. Study time was used as a measure of improvement motivation.The students who were told to be self-compassionate after failing the first test spent more time studying than those in the other two conditions. Study time was linked to how well participants actually performed on the test. These findings suggest that being kind to yourself when you fail or make mistakes gives you the emotional support needed to try your best, and to keep trying even when discouraged.Kindness is the engine that drives us to keep trying even after we fall flat on our face. So this New Year, when you make and inevitably break your resolutions, instead of beating yourself up and then giving up, try being kind to yourself. In the long ansturm youll be more likely to succeed.Kristin Neff, Associate Professor of Educational Psychology, University of Texas at AustinThis article is republished from The Conversation under a Creative Commons license.

Top 10 Reasons You Didnt Get a Raise

Top 10 Reasons You Didnt Get a RaiseTop 10 Reasons You Didnt Get a RaiseWas your request for a raise declined? There are many reasons why your employer may not have given you a raise, including performance-related concerns, the timing, and style of your request, or the companys general financial health. Find out ten of the most common roadblocks preventing you from getting a raise. Possible Reasons Why You Didnt Get That Raise Poor zeiteinteilung While its not a marriage proposal, asking for a raise is an important question. Timing is key Did you request a raise in June, when the general company policy is to make decisions at the end of the year? Maybe you asked too early in your tenure or made your request soon after the company had a recall, poor quarterly report, or other bad news. Thats not the only timing problem while your managers bad day shouldnt affect your raise, a meeting scheduled on a stressful day could be the reason your request was turned down.Next Steps Ask human resources or co-workers when raises are typically given out and time your meeting for a low-stress time of day and week. Lack of Company Resources Sometimes, the reason you dont get a raise isnt related to you at all. Its quite possible that your company isnt flush with money, and simply doesnt have room in the budget to give you a raise.Next Steps How important is the raise to you? And does it seem as though the company finances will turn around? The answer to these questions will determine if you stay put, or use this as a cue to begin a job search.Your Performance Needs Improvement Are you exceeding expectations, or simply doing the work outlined in your job description? At many jobs, in buchung to get a raise, employees need to go above and beyond the basic requirements. If your work is competent, but not stellar, this may be why you didnt get the raise.Next Steps Talk to your manager about what shed like to see from you. Consider how to transform from an ordinary employee into an exceptional one. Keep a list of your big accomplishments, and any praise you receive, and highlight them the next time you request a raise. Your Boss Doesnt Know About Your Accomplishments On a day-to-day basis at work, do you trumpet every accomplishment, even the most banal? Or, conversely, are you quiet about your triumphs? You should offer evidence for why youre deserving of a raise at the moment when you make the request, but also lay the groundwork in advance. While its good to be self-promoting, be cautious about excessive self-promotion, or stealing the spotlight from deserving co-workers, which can work against your request.Next Steps In one-on-one meetings with your manager, and over email, highlight your accomplishments. Be careful not to overdo you want to be neither overly modest nor overly boastful. You Ask for Personal Reasons For most companies, salary is an unemotional calculation, based on the employees qualifications, geographic considerations, and competition . If you asked for a raise citing factors in your personal life - increased rent, family-related concerns, etc. - instead of professional reasons, your manager may feel sympathetic. But thats doesnt mean youve presented a valid argument for a higher salary. The same logic applies to requests based on a co-workers salary.Next Steps Frame your raise ask around the value you provide to the company - rather than detailing your own expenses and needs, point to ways youve saved money or added to the companys revenue. Skipping the Prep Work Wearing unprofessional clothes, and giving a disjointed, rambling, or off-the-cuff rationale for your raise does not impress. Even if your company doesnt have much of a dress code, its still important to look and act professionally at this moment.Next Steps Plan talking points, and rehearse ahead of time. Dress to impress this is a good excuse to break out your einstellungsgesprch outfit.Youre a Difficult Employee Sounds harsh, but if youre a challenge to work with, a downer in meetings, or a frequent complainer, you may be a problem for your manager, making him or her unwilling to make the case to superiors that you deserve a raise.Next Steps Evaluate your attitude. How do you present yourself in meetings and everyday occasions around the office? Consider if your complaints and critiques are overshadowing your good work. Employers Fear a Wave of Requests Many companies can be fearful of giving out raises, since granting one request could lead to others.Next Steps This puts you in a tough position. You can mention that youll be discrete about your raise, and also make the point that your raise should be evaluated on its own merits. However, if this is the response you get, it may be a sign that its a good time to kick off a job search.Your Salary Is Already Market-Standard If you didnt do research as to the typical salary range for your position before requesting a raise, your manager may deny the request, reasoning that youre al ready getting the amount you deserve.Next Steps Do some salary research, at sites such as Glassdoor.com, Payscale.com, or Salary.com, and take a look at the data on average page raises so you know what you can expect. You Didnt Ask While its certainly possible that a raise will appear in your paycheck before you request it, thats not often going to be the case. If you feel that you are deserving of a raise, ask for it.Next Steps Learn how to request a pay raise, and schedule some time with your manager. What to Do When You Dont Get a Raise Lets start with what not to do unless you have another secure job offer waiting for you, its probably wise to avoidquittingin a huff. (In fact, think carefully before quitting dramatically even if youdohave an offer.) Dont get personal or insulting in your response sometimes managers or companies are under constraints. State your objections to the decision professionally. As well, dont change your day-to-day work habits in the weeks and months following your raise request being turned down. Being frustrated by the decision doesnt negate your responsibilities to the job. Gossiping with co-workers, slowing down work, or having a bad attitude will not endear you to colleagues or managers, and could endanger future requests. Evaluate Your Own Request Its not easy to ask for a raise - even if you put in solid prep work, its possible you could have timed your request better or phrased it more effectively. Consider how you made the request, and review some of thecommon reasons companies decline raise requests, many of which are totally unrelated to your performance.Use the Feedback Treat the feedback you received from your manager or human resources about why your raise request was declined as a blueprint for your next steps. If you did not receive helpful feedback, schedule a time to meet again. Ask direct questions, about what types of benchmarks youd need to meet to get a raise. You can also request a timeline, or schedule a follow-up meeting. Ask questions non-confrontationally your goal here is to get practical information about why you did not get a raise and where you need to improve. Consider Your Next Goal As you evaluate the feedback you received, consider what next steps youd like to take. If you feel that you will not receive a raise, and deserve one, starting a search for a new job might be your next step. Or, you might want to establish a timeline for when to ask for a raise again.Switch Strategies and Seek Non-Salary Benefits A raise isnt the only way to get ahead at work. You can also request abonusin lieu of a raise, or additionalvacation days. Or, consider non-financial benefits, such as being able to work from home a day a week, or reimbursement for work-related classes or training.

Study finds Fear of Being Replaced, Poor Communication Prevents Taking Time Off

Study finds Fear of Being Replaced, Poor Communication Prevents Taking Time Off Fear of being replaced and work piling up coupled with a lack of employer support and communication is keeping Americans from using the time off they have earned, according to the new study, Overwhelmed America Why Dont We Use Our Paid Time Off? conducted by GfK Public Affairs and Corporate Communications (GfK) for the U.S. Travel Associations Travel Effect initiative. The study found that 40 percent of American workers will leave vacation days unused potentially adopting a work-martyr complex to demonstrate their value. Workers cite returning to an excessive workload (40 percent) and the feeling that nobody else can do their work (35 percent) as the top reasons they leave PTO unused. One-third (33 percent) of respondents said they cannot afford to use their PTO, and about a fifth (22 percent) of workers were concerned with being viewed as replaceable.This work martyr complex is reinforced by company culture mainly poor communication around time off. Even though senior business leaders overwhelmingly recognize the importance of using time off (95 percent), two-thirds (67 percent) of American employees say their company says nothing, sends mixed messages about or discourages using their PTO. Further, one-third of senior business leaders state they never (19 percent) or rarely (14 percent) talk with employees about the benefits of taking time off.Management may be unintentionally sending employees mixed messages when they take their time off. Nearly half (46 percent) keep responding to emails, while 29 percent return calls from work during their PTO, sending the signal that it is not acceptable to be away from the job.
