Summer Career Networking Style Its in the Details

Summer Career Networking Style Its in the DetailsSummer Career Networking Style Its in the DetailsFrom the boardroom to a barbecue, your personal style should shine through.When youre shaking hands and exchanging business cards this summer, the most important thing to remember is that tzu siches a fine line between standing out and overdoing it. From the boardroom to a barbecue, your personal style should shine through in the details without overwhelming your entire wardrobe or showing up your interviewer or colleagues.Its also important to stay cool and look cool. So keep the clothing light and to a nadir let the accents carry the day. Whether its a pair of cufflinks, a handsome briefcase, a beautiful scarf or the perfect pair of sunglasses, you will stand out because you nailed classic style with a modern twist.Use this guide to stay classic and cool in every scenario of the job search from networking to the interview.1. A formal interviewThe good news is theres not much wiggle roo m when it comes to wardrobe for the formal interview. A suit is critical. Think about dressing 5 percent to 10 percent mora formal than you would before your first day at a new job. You want to look classic, not trendy. You want the focus to be on your job performance, not your wardrobe.For menLook for a two- or three-button wool suit in gray or navy. Do not wear black. A black suit looks like youre attending a funeral or driving a hearse. Wear a solid-white, light-gray or light-blue shirt, but keep in mind that white looks good against all complexions and makes your skin pop the most. Make sure half an inch of your cuff is visible. If its not, your suit sleeves are too long. Your trousers should break slightly at the hem.If you already own a suit but youre not sure about the fit, invest in a good tailor. He will be able to tell if your suit needs to be reworked or replaced. Never underestimate the importance of a properly fitted suit. The fit of the suit is everything. A slouchy su it looks sloppy.Wear a silk tie something solid, especially blue or yellow. Save red for your first day of work.Carry a proper brown or black structured leather briefcase with handles. No backpacks. No messenger bags. No duffel bags. No bags on wheels. Ever.For womenKeep it light in both fabric and color, but dont wear a white dress or suit. White is the least serious color and looks too casual. The lightest you should go is cream. If the position is less corporate, you may want to try mixing separates, like a solid sleeveless dress with a tailored jacket in a brighter color or pattern. Look for a slim-notch lapel to keep it modern.Dont be afraid to toss the suit and wear a sharp dress with a jacket. The benefit to wearing a sleeveless dress is that you can remove your jacket until right before your interview, so youll stay cooler. To create shape, cinch a skinny or chunky black belt around the jacket.A mora classic skirt or pants suit paired with a pretty printed silk blouse is als o a lovely combination.Avoid anschauung jewelry simple hoop earrings or pearls are perfect.Avoid It bags for interviews, especially if theyre made of exotic skin or covered in hardware. Your bag should be big enough to hold all the necessities. Try an elegant leather tote in a solid classic color like tan or black.2. A job fairYoull want to dress similarly to your interview attire, but with a bit more personality to avoid getting lost in the crowd.For menSince a future employer can see you from every angle, focus on the extra details. If youre wearing a suit, lose the tie in favor of a crisp white pocket square. If you know no one else will be wearing a suit, wear a pair of dark denim jeans or tan chinos with a tucked-in dress shirt (light pink softens your face under those harsh fluorescent lights) and a sport coat with some texture pinstripe, windowpane, houndstooth or herringbone. Save your plaid suits for autumn.Wear a solid brown or black leather belt with a square buckle. You r belt should match your shoes.Newly shined brown shoes from chestnut to chocolate stand out the most. Look for round-toe shoes. (No square-toed shoes)A messenger bag is the most practical option and looks sophisticated as long as its not bulky or made of nylon. Stick with segeltuchschuh or leather.For womenIts not necessary to wear a suit to a networking event, but you want to be comfortable and chic. Solid-colored trousers or pencil skirts with a wool/Lycra blend help avoid wrinkles. Keep the colors classic cream, tan, navy, black. Pair them with a patterned jacket to create a point of interest, or if youd prefer a more classic look, wear a solid jacket with a floral, bow-front or ruffled blouse underneath, which are several of the seasons trends.You could also try a three-quarter -sleeve cotton pinstripe dress shirt to give the look some texture, tucked in, with a skinny belt, simple earrings and ballet flats.As beautiful as heels can be, when youre walking around a 10,000-squar e-foot convention center exchanging business cards, its hard to smile when your feet are aching. Look for one- or two-tone flats. (Black and tan is a nice combination.)3. An informal networking eventSummer presents opportunities to network in casual locales like a dinner cruise or the roof deck of a potential employers building. Such events present a special challenge because its potentially hot outside, making it tempting to dress down or show more skin. You should still take extra care in your wardrobe you never know whom you may end up shaking hands with.For menOn a dinner cruise, preppy and nautical styles often look best, as long as theyre not overly campy (i.e. lobster-embroidered chinos) or exaggerated (a navy blazer with brass buttons). In either situation, its okay to ditch the suit in favor of lightweight straight-leg denim (white is a nice alternative to blue jeans for summer) or khakis.You could pair your trousers with a crisp, fitted polo in a solid color or a button-do wn, like a blue or dark-purple check, or a light-blue contrast-collar.If youre on a boat, deck shoes without socks are appropriate if youre on a roof deck, try a pair of classic brown leather loafers or cap-toe lace-ups.For womenThe key to dressing for a cruise is that you want to look glamorous youre on a boat while remaining sure-footed. Try to avoid heels, and if youre going to wear a dress or a skirt, make sure its windproof as you dont want to risk the obvious.Infuse some color and light into your look with a pretty silk scarf or colorful lightweight wrap, or a gorgeous pair of chandelier earrings. You could also try pairing a lightweight tunic with detailing on the neckline with cream trousers and metallic flats.If youre on a roof deck, women should try to dress as they would for an early-evening cocktail gathering (below).4. Drinks after workYour friend invites you out for a few drinks with a group of people who work in your industry. Your wardrobe should remain professiona l without making those around you feel like theyre still at the office.For menShow up wearing a suit, but take your jacket off soon after you arrive. If you work in a slightly more casual/creative field, wear dark jeans and oxfords with a button-down shirt tucked in and a belt.Wear a handsome watch. Bars are often crowded, and people notice more what youre wearing from the waist up A gorgeous brown leather belt with a square buckle, a classic-looking chronograph watch, a unique pocket square. A pinstripe shirt. Cufflinks. Even if the bar is dark, youre speaking close to people, and they will notice the details.For womenGo from day to evening with a few simple tricks that dont necessarily require changing. If youre wearing a suit, remove your jacket, add a belt, and replace your flats with heels. The most classic shoes are round or pointy and closed-toe in black, brown or cream. For a night out, you can try something strappier, like a metallic sandal.Add a little color and liveliness with a gorgeous statement necklace one of the major looks of the season. A statement necklace is more than just a simple strand of pearls or a pendant on a chain it is a big, bold announcement, often filling your entire neckline with sequins, stones, glass or metal. It melds with whatever youre wearing, thus becoming the outfit. Everyone from Banana Republic to Burberry designs these, so theyre not hard to find.Keep the rest of your look minimal with solid colors and minimal jewelry. Top off the outfit with a pretty beaded clutch, which will be much less bulky in a cramped bar than your tote, but can still fit your business cards.5. A baseball gameTheres nothing more casual than Americas favorite pastime. It is tempting to throw on a team T-shirt and a baseball cap, but if a colleague invites you to join her in her companys box seats, dress slightly more formally.For menCool comfort is key when you have to be on while spending the day under the hot sun or an evening in the humidit y. Pair straight-leg chinos with a fitted polo (stick with white since itll keep you coolest in the sun) and leather sandals. Throw on a pair of aviators to shield your eyes.For womenA cotton shirtdress, belted, with white tennis sneakers is a fun way to dress up the occasion while looking as relaxed as if you were wearing shorts and a T-shirt.Keep your accessories unfussy. Stick with the basics sunglasses, a sleek stainless-steel watch and a canvas tote.6. A backyard barbecueYouve been invited to a friends house for a midsummer barbeque, and a potential employer may be stopping by. You would look out of place if you dressed up, but you also dont want to look frumpy in his presence.For menThis is the trickiest situation possible because youre expected to behave formally but not appear formal. On a hot day, wear flat-front cotton khaki shorts that hit between the knee and mid-thigh. Anything longer looks young and sloppy. Steer clear of cargo shorts, which are bulky. A fitted polo sh irt or a cotton or linen button-down is always clean and handsome.Leather sandals or clean white tennis sneakers are the best footwear option. You can wear canvas or leather flip- flops, but never rubber ones.Even though youre dressing down, dont forget the extra details - a pair of aviators and a chunky stainless-steel watch.For womenEating hot dogs and hamburgers in the sun calls for comfort. A cotton or linen sundress (as long as its not too lightweight or flimsy) that hits at the knee is a beautiful option. (Make sure to wear a nude slip underneath if there is any chance its see-through in broad daylight.) Pair with leather sandals or wedges. Cotton shorts or skirts (denim is fine) are also appropriate, and you can pair them with a light cotton T-shirt or tank top, as long as theyre not too skimpy.Keep a lightweight cardigan or shawl on hand for when it cools down.Aviator sunglasses pair nicely with shorts, while plastic frames in black or tortoiseshell feel more refined and wo uld better complement a sundress.

And the award for worst commute goes to ...

And the award for worst commute goes to ... And the award for worst commute goes to ... Everyone has that one terrible commute story that they think is deserving of a reward  for what they endured. In New York City - which has the country’s longest commute time  - you can actually win a prize for your commuting heroism.Last week, advocates from the Riders Alliance group launched a weekly contest to determine which New Yorker had the worst subway commute to promote “the reality of what 5.5 million New Yorkers suffer on the subways every single day” to policymakers deciding the aging Metropolitan Transit Authority’s budget for repairs. A New York Times investigation found that the MTA had the most delays out of any major rapid transit system in the world.NYC woman wins award for worst commuteOn Tuesday, one New York City woman was crowned the inaugural Worst Commute award winner for surviving a  30-minute trip that became a two-hour ordeal. Jennifer Tang, a librarian from Forest Hills, Queens, explained how her daily commute to work became a nightmare for her bo dy and mind.“I was in a hurry to get home and didn’t use the bathroom, figuring my 30-minute commute from Manhattan to Queens wasn’t going to be so bad,” Tang wrote in her submission.But just one stop away from her destination, her train got stuck in the tunnel for two hours due to “signal problems.” Unable to use a bathroom, Tang could only wait for relief.“By the time the train pulled into the 67th Avenue station, I had to run to a nearby Starbucks in order to pee,” she wrote. “I still have post-traumatic stress syndrome from this incident. Now, before boarding the subway, even if it’s for one stop, I use the bathroom before I get on the torture chamber that is the MTA subway.”New York, New Jersey, Illinois have worst commute timesData shows why stories like Tang’s are likely to continue in New York City. Using U.S. Census Bureau data, Business Insider ranked average commute times across 20 major American cities.At 39.9 minutes, New York City had the longes t commute time. Jersey City and Newark in New Jersey came in second and third at 36.2 and 34.4 minutes. Chicago’s 34.1-minute commute time average came in fourth.How commutes infect workplace attitudesBad commutes are not just an individual misery, they’re a workplace issue causing disengaged, unhappy workers. The stress of road traffic and subway delays you experience in the morning sets the tone of how you’ll feel for the rest of the day. In a survey of activities that made 900 participants unhappy, morning commutes were the most miserable activity, beating out working at your job or cleaning the house.Another  recent study concluded that a 20-minute increase in a worker’s round-trip commute time has the same effect on job satisfaction as a 19% reduction in income.So next time you feel crummy on your soul-sucking commute, take heart in knowing that you’re not the only one finding this endurance sport unbearable.

5 Advances in Smart Fabrics

5 Advances in Smart Fabrics 5 Advances in Smart Fabrics 5 Advances in Smart Fabrics Fabrics can do more than keep their wearers warm or clothed or help them make a fashion statement. Newly designed materials, sometimes called smart fabrics or smart textiles, incorporate a number of advances that help them generate electricity, cool the body, and even capture greenhouse gases. Below, weve detailed five smart textiles and their not-so-futuristic functions. Powered and Warmed by the Sun Researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology recently developed a fabric that generates electricity from the sun and the wind surrounding the wearer. Garments made from the material could one day power the smartphones or global positioning systems their wearers use every day, says Zhong Lin Wang, a professor in Georgia Techs school of materials science and engineering. To create the material, the researchers used lightweight polymer fibers, photoanodes (the anode of a photoelectron cell), and fiber-based triboelectric nanogenerators. The latter use the triboelectric effect, a type of electrification at contact, and electrostatic induction to generate a small amount of electrical power from mechanical motion, in this case, the wind that blows across the nanogenerators, Wang says. A bracelet is made from fabric woven with special energy-harvesting strands. Image: Georgia Tech The photoanodes are used to harvest the sunlight. The anodes, fibers, and nanogenerators are then woven with strands of wool into a 320-micrometer thick fabric that can be used to make tents, curtains, or wearable garments, he says. The backbone of the textile is made of commonly used polymer materials that are inexpensive to make and environmentally friendly, Wang said. That also means they can be produced via large-scale manufacturing methods. In one of their experiments, Wangs team used a fabric about the size of a sheet of office paper. They attached it to rod like a small colorful flag. Rolling down the windows in a car and letting the flag blow in the wind, the researchers were able to generate significant power from a moving car on a cloudy day. The researchers also measured the output of a four-by-five centimeter piece of the fabric and found it charged a two-microfarad commercial capacitor to two volts in one minute under sunlight and movement. That indicates it has a decent capability of working even in a harsh environment, says Wang. Clothed Cooling On the other side of the nation, engineers at Stanford University have developed a low-cost, plastic clothing material that could cool the body more efficiently than natural or synthetic fabrics. A low-cost plastic material that could become the basis for clothing that keeps people cool in hot climate. Image: Stanford University If you can cool the person rather than the building where they work or live, that will save energy, says Yi Cui, an associate professor of materials science and engineering at Stanford. The researchers found a type of polyethylene with a specific nanostructure that makes it opaque to visible light, for modesty, yet is transparent to infrared radiation, to let body heat escape. So in addition to letting perspiration evaporate through the material, something ordinary fabrics already do, the three-ply polyethylene allows thermal radiation, air, and water vapor to pass through, and it is opaque to visible light, Cui says. They modified industrial polyethylene by treating it with benign chemicals to enable water vapor molecules to evaporate through nanopores in the plastic, allowing the plastic to breathe like a natural fiber, says researcher Po-Chun Hsu. Those who wear the clothing made from the material feel nearly four degrees Fahrenheit cooler than if they wore cotton clothing, Cui says. Artificial-Light Energy ThermalTech, from the company of the same name, calls upon energy-absorbing technology embedded in fabric to transform the suns ultraviolet rays as well as energy from artificial light into heat to warm wearers in minutes. Jackets are made of ThermalTech fabric. Image: ThermalTech The fabric is made of a 100 percent stainless-steel mesh coated with a solar technology similar to that used for solar water-heaters, says Araceli Ríos Flores, the companys chief technology officer. The company recently carried out a successful Indiegogo funding campaign to create a solar-powered smart jacket that incorporates ThermalTech. The jacket resembles a common lightweight winter coat and warms wearers up to 20 degrees Fahrenheit within two minutes, Flores says. In September, the company began shipping jackets to early backers. Electronic Skin Xenoma, a company spun-out from the Someya lab at the University of Tokyo in 2015, integrates stretchable circuit and sensor technologies with traditional textiles to remotely monitor the users motion, respiration, and body temperature for the virtual reality gaming, healthcare, and fitness apparel markets. The stretchable circuit technology allows more than 30 sensors to be integrated into a shirt. The number, type, and location of sensors can be fully customizable, says Osamu Sawanobori, the companys co-founder and its chief development officer. E-skin can be worn like a typical shirt and is machine washable, he says. Captured Greenhouse Gases Smart Textiles, a Swedish research lab, on the other hand, is at work on textiles that use a methane filtration production method, which, say its creators, make for clothing made from greenhouse gases filtered from the air. The lab has teamed with researchers at the University of Borås in Sweden to develop a method that binds methane gas from the atmosphere with textiles, says Lena-Marie Jensen, Smart Textiles coordinator. The lab wants to develop a product made from greenhouse gases and air in order to demonstrate to the market that it is possible. If we can achieve a cycle where the producer and the retailer can make it simple for the customer to leave garments to be repaired or recycled, textile fibers never have to become garbage again, Jensen says.

Making the Cut

Making the Cut Making the Cut Making the Cut Cell research is a key driver of medical breakthroughs but one ever-present challenge has been finding a way into the cell and transporting it. One group at UCLA has been out to solve this problem by thinking smallnanoblade small. By literally cutting and slicing the cell, their work has taken precision to a level few considered possible. When we started talking about this 10 years ago, some people just werent positive about its chance of success, says Eric Chiou, professor of mechanical engineering and aerospace at UCLA. The idea of getting inside a cell and getting it out of there? How do you do that without destroying the cell? If you open it, then it can reheal. But if you open the hole too big then that can kill the cell. But we stuck to it and believed in the work. Their strategy was to have a nanoblade actually open up the cell through the outer membrane by using a laser. Fundamentally, you have a light to trigger a high-temperature piece near the cell membrane, says Chiou, who has a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from UCLA and in computer science from the University of California, Berkeley. And heat being there for a short time is how we started. The thought was to use some kind of metal to harvest laser pores to trigger a heating event. It involved opening up the cell but not going inside it where it could possibly do damage. Scientists have developed a laser-powered nanoblade that makes small slits on the surface of cells. Image: UCLA The first version of the nanoblade was constructed out of a glass pipette and the surface was a very thin layer of titanium, he says. The nanoblade cut and then there was the creation of an instant local explosion which sliced open a cell membrane. I think you could say thats just a little different from conventional cutting with a knife, he laughs. Once the cell was cut open, pressure was applied to the glass pipette and the liquid was then squeezed out of the cell. With the membrane open, the material will then flow into the cell. And thats when youre talking about the membrane actually coming back and rehealing itself, he adds. The second version worked with 200 cells over an hour, he estimates. As for applications, the nanoblade has been utilized in work on mitochondria, a vital organelle in the body. Mitochondria delivery can lead to potentially understanding diseases but I believe there can be many helpful medical possibilities because of this tool, he says, adding that the team is presently working on a more complicated system that may be able to work on 100,000 cells per minute. He relishes the fact that theyve been able to prove themselves to doubters and looks forward to improvements. Its exciting to think about, considering how many difficulties are involved in medical research to begin with, he says. If this can play any role in research that can save lives then that would be an incredible feeling. Eric Butterman is an independent writer. For Further Discussion If this can play any role in research that can save lives then that would be an incredible feeling. Prof. Eric Chiou, UCLA

Why Your Job Search Isnt Successful

Why Your Job Search Isn't Successful Why Your Job Search Isn't Successful We’ve isolated five common job-search problems and are giving you the solutions.Are you stuck in a job-search rut? You might be making one of these classic mistakes. Read on to learn some of the most common job-search errors, and what you can do to get your job hunt back on track.#1:  Winging ItThe first steps most people take when beginning a job search include resume updates or networking activities. However, there’s a step each job seeker should take prior to these activities: inventory your key skill sets and passions and document a clear set of job goals. These will influence all your job-search activities, including how  your resume and online profiles are positioned, which jobs you apply to, and with whom to  network. If you don’t lay this groundwork, there’s a good chance you’ll lose focus or change your goals halfway through the process, unnecessarily prolonging your job search.#2:  DIY resume writingYou, like most people, probably consider your career to be an imp ortant part of your identity. That’s one of the reasons the job search can be such an emotional rollercoaster. It’s personal. And for that very reason, it’s difficult for job seekers to be objective when writing their own resumes. An eye-tracking study from Ladders found that recruiters spend an average of six seconds reviewing a resume before they decide if you are a fit for the job. You need to make that time count!  Having your resume rewritten by a professional can make you 40 percent more likely to land the job you want.#3:  Thinking one and doneJob seekers will often stick to the one job-search method with which they’re most comfortable. However, searching for a job in today’s market requires you to use more than one channel to pursue leads. Harness the power of three : apply to jobs online, engage in recruiter activity, and utilize your social and professional network connections. This will increase the number of opportunities you can pursue.#4:  Failing to follow u pMost people fail to follow up within 24 hours of going on an interview. By following up with a tailored message after each interview, you differentiate yourself from the competition. Reiterate the main  points from your discussion, address how  you can solve the hiring manager’s current needs, and highlight any information you didn’t get to share in the interview that’s relevant to the position. Use each follow-up as an opportunity to advance your position in the hiring process.#5: Job searching sometimesSearching for a job is its own job. To land the role you want, you need to maintain a consistent level of activity each week. If you have a bad day in the job hunt, double your efforts the following day rather than taking a break. Review your schedule and block off time each week for your job-search activities. Luckily, this doesn’t require you to be glued to your computer screen all day. Leverage your smartphone and job-search apps to search on the go. Set small, achievabl e weekly goals around each job-search activity and track your progress.

7 Tips to Get Your Resume Noticed in the Blink of an Eye

7 Tips to Get Your Resume Noticed in the Blink of an Eye 7 Tips to Get Your Resume Noticed in the Blink of an Eye Just like fashion, resume writing is ever changing. If you want to keep up, you have to follow the newest trends. A resume that got you a job two years ago, might easily be thrown into the bin in 2016. A couple of years ago, recruiters spent twice as much time going over a candidates resume than now. In 2016, if youre lucky to have a human read your resume (many companies use ATSs Applicant Tracking Systems), be sure that he or she wont be wasting more than 6 seconds on an average looking resume. Recruiters have grown too picky when choosing the right man/woman for the job. In order to get their attention and invite you for an interview, your resume must be up-to-date. So, if you havent done so already, its about time to give your resume a little facelift. Here are a couple of valuable tips for you to modernize your resume and make it stand out in 2016. Good luck! 1. Pimp your resume Give it a modern look. The design of your resume is what makes the first impression so its crucially important. First, you have to consider what industry you want to work in. If you’re applying for any creative job, (e.g. graphic designer, copywriter, architect, etc.) you can afford to go a little wild and create a resume thats a bit off-the-wall. It can look something like this: For public sector jobs or corporate jobs its best to go for a more traditional resume. Were not saying you cant stand out. Even if your industry requires a strictly professional looking resume, it doesnt have to be boring. Just pick a neat, clear structured template without much embellishments. Heres an example: The newest trends in resume writing are in favor of monochrome design. The world is obsessed with minimalism right now and so are the hiring managers. If you love colors, add some subtle color details to your resume by means of headings, borders, icons or graphs. Since the current trends dont support photos on resumes, be original and create your own logo instead. 2. Simple fonts win When it comes to fonts, minimalism rules again. Pick an easily legible, preferably a sans-serif font, e.g. Arial, Cambria, Helvetica or any other similar typeface. Choosing a universal typeface is practical since they translate well between different operating systems. Even though it doesnt make much difference now that the vast majority of resumes are being sent as PDF files, these standard fonts are still popular with the hiring managers. Special tip: Use bolded font to highlight information you wish the hiring manager to notice first. Put your greatest achievements or skills youre best at in bold because a human eye subconsciously focuses on highlighted text. It works, right?   3. Lose the resume objective Resume objectives belong to history. Most hiring managers dont like seeing objectives on resumes since theyre usually just cliché statements that dont add any real value to the candidates skills. Depending on the amount of your experience, you can consider writing a short executive summary. It can easily be just a couple of bullet points summing up your most powerful skills. Keep in mind that your summary should communicate your aptness to the job position in question. 4. Ditch buzzwords Are you a proactive, self-motivated professional who thinks outside the box? Alright, but so are most of the people. Dont be like everyone else and forget these buzzwords.   Buzzwords don’t appeal to the human reader and are not at all helpful when your resume gets through the ATS. Your copy should also contain the keywords from the job description. Thats crucial if you want your resume to survive the Applicant Tracking System. A little tip from us: Ditch the good old References available upon request line. 5. Slim down the copy These are busy times and hiring managers are just not that keen on reading big bodies of text. So, after you’re done with your resume, run your eyes through the text once or twice more and consider cutting it down a little. Shorten sentences, delete the fluff, keep the most important information only and use bullet points to make your content easier to read. Don’t overflow your resume with text. Let it breathe! 6. Digitalize your resume We live in an online world so showcase something different than just a written word. Your resumes content is essential, but your resume could offer a richer experience to the hiring manager: Add a link to your personal website or your LinkedIn profile to your resume. You dont have a personal website? Create one with . Hyperlink your email address to make it easier for the hiring manager to contact you. Where appropriate you can even attach links to your social media sites. The hiring manager will google you anyway and by providing the links on your resume, youll appear confident with your social media presence. 7. Be a bit bold By bold, we dont mean rude or silly. Taking a risk to make your resume unique and a bit unconventional pays off sometimes. People who have the courage to present themselves differently than the rest are often viewed by the hiring managers as the most creative and resourceful ones.

Becoming a Telephone Triage Nurse

Becoming a Telephone Triage Nurse Becoming a Telephone Triage Nurse Telephone triage nursing goes by a few different names, including telehealth nursing and telepathology. This credentialed medical specialty was designed to help patients in immediate need who are unable to get to a doctor’s office or hospital. The specialty is also designed to help those who do not have primary care physicians. The telephone triage nurse works to determine the level of care a patient needs and guides the situation to a resolution. Unlike on-site nurses, these professionals must help patients purely by speaking with them on the phone. Most medical professionals working in this field are licensed nurses and are most commonly referred to as telephone triage nurses. The Telephone Triage Nurse Profession A telephone triage nurse is charged with everything from working with patients to determine if they need to seek emergency treatment, to instructing them to make an appointment with a doctor, to advising them how to treat themselves at home. The underlying role of a telephone triage nurse is to help patients assess the severity of their health problem- saving them a trip to the doctors office or a trip to the emergency room. This service is especially useful for homebound patients, those in rural areas who cant get to a facility, or those unable to pay for medical services. Additionally, telephone triage nurses help doctors reduce their patient load so that they can see patients in more critical need- hence the word triage. Because of their work, telephone triage nurses also help reduce overcrowding and waiting time in emergency medical facilities such as urgent care centers and hospital emergency rooms. Because telephone triage services are operational 24/7, telephone triage nurses may need to work weekends, night shifts, and holidays. Training To become a telephone triage nurse, the first thing you need to do is earn your nursing degree or diploma. After that, you must pass the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN). Additional certification as an ambulatory care nurse is suggested and will increase ones chances of getting a job. The certification is offered by the American Academy of Ambulatory Care Nursing and is useful because a section of the exam focuses on telephone triage. If you want to take the exam, you need to have already performed at least 2,000 hours of nursing experience in a clinical setting. Necessary  Skills In addition to the obvious medical training, telephone triage nurses must possess excellent communication skills above everything else. Also, they have to be nimble and think on their feet because health problems arent static- they can worsen at any time. Telephone triage nurses must remain calm throughout the conversation, being empathetic and really listening to patients. They also have to be able to assess each situation quickly.     Places of Employment One of the advantages of this career path is that telephone triage nurses can find employment in a multitude of environments- most notably dedicated telephone triage service centers. That said, jobs are also available in physicians offices, hospitals, outpatient care facilities, trauma centers, poison control centers, and crisis hotlines. A Typical Call The first thing a remote nurse does is pull together basic information about the patient. The nurse finds out the persons age, sex, weight, and height- all of  these contribute to the overall assessment. Next, the nurse inquires if the patient has any known diseases or ongoing health issues such as diabetes, high blood pressure, a history of panic attacks, or a known heart condition. To accurately assess the patients situation, the nurse must get the patient to describe the symptoms as accurately as possible. For example, for a patient who complains of feeling lightheaded, the nurse might ask whether they feel dizzy, faint, or weak. Once confident that all the necessary information has been collected, the telephone triage nurse can recommend a course of action. For example, if the assessment is that the patient is suffering from heat exhaustion, the patient would be directed to drink fluids and find an air-conditioned room to rest in. If a patient is bleeding heavily from a cooking accident, the telephone triage nurse would direct the patient to compress the wound and seek immediate medical attention. Also, based on the severity of the health issue, the nurse will determine if the patient should schedule a follow-up visit with their general practitioner (GP). What If a Patient Doesnt Have a GP? Many patients dont have the money to visit a general practitioner on a regular basis. For that reason, nurses may also dispense information they think the patient needs from a social welfare perspective. For example, they may direct low-income individuals to programs that can provide financial aid. Pros of Being a Telephone Triage Nurse The pros in this profession are as follows: Youre only dealing with one patient at a time.You feel appreciated because you helped someone in need.Theres no endless paperwork to fill out.After a call, you have a sense of accomplishment because you completed a task- and you can move on to the next call.Theres no fear of contracting a communicable disease, such as tuberculosis.You dont have to deal with needles  and injections, which can be challenging.You dont have to put up with patients who complain about every ache and pain because (for the most part) youre dealing with a real health issue. Cons of Being a Telephone Triage Nurse The cons of this profession are as follows: You could help save a life but you dont get to see how someone improved based on your advice.You have to rely on someones ability to describe something difficult, such as a rash.It can be stressful working on your own when dealing with a seriously ill patient.People tend to be less polite on the phone because they cant see the person behind the voice.  Your tone of voice has to be spot-on because a patient cant see your facial expressions, which communicate a lot in person. Salary and Job Outlook According to salary.com, as of June 2018, an RN staff nurse, phone triage  worker earns a median salary of  $71,931, with a range of $65,635 and $81,344. While the U.S.  Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) does not post salaries for registered triage nurses, it does post a comparable median salary of $70,000 for registered nurses. And, according to the BLS, employment of registered nurses is projected to grow 15 percent from 2016 to 2026. This is much faster than the average for all occupations due to employment growth in the field as the population ages and the need to replace workers who will be retiring over the coming decade.

Verbal Communication Is an Essential Soft Skill

Verbal Communication Is an Essential Soft Skill Verbal Communication Is an Essential Soft Skill Verbal communication is the sharing of information among individuals or groups through speaking. It is one of the ways we interact with our bosses, employees, co-workers, and customers or clients at work. We also use  active listening, nonverbal communication such as body language and facial expressions, and writing to communicate. When your verbal communication skills are weak, the intended recipients of your messages wont be able to understand them and, subsequently, wont be able to respond appropriately. While these failures do not rest solely with the speaker- poor listening skills or the misreading of non-verbal cues may also be to blame- they begin with him or her. How to Improve Your Verbal Communication Improving your verbal communication skills will help you avoid misunderstandings at work. Take the following steps, beginning even before any words leave your mouth: Be Prepared: Before you start a conversation, figure out what information you want to provide. Then decide on the best way to relay it to your recipient. For example, do you need to do it face-to-face or will a phone call do?Choose Your Words Carefully: Use vocabulary  your recipient can easily comprehend:  If he or she doesnt understand your words, your message will be lost.Speak Clearly:  Be aware of your volume and rate of speech. Speaking too softly will make it difficult for anyone to hear you, but shouting can be very off-putting. Speak slowly enough to be understood, but not so slowly that you bore the listener or put him or her to sleep. Use the Proper Tone:  Your voice may reveal  your true feelings and attitude. For example, if youre angry or sad, it will come across through your tone. Try to stay in control of this, to  avoid revealing more than you want and distracting the listener from your messages intent.Make Eye Contact: The person to whom you are speaking will better be able to connect with you if you maintain eye contact throughout the conversation.Check In With the Listener Periodically: Get feedback to make sure the person with whom you are speaking understands you. He or she must get what you are trying to say. While you are speaking, observe his or her facial expressions and body language, or simply ask for verbal confirmation that he or she understands you. Avoid Distractions: Background noise will distract your listener and make it hard for him or her to hear what you are saying, never mind, understand it. Find a quiet place to talk. If you are speaking to someone by phone, go to a quiet area and make sure he or she is in one as well. If that isnt possible at the moment, arrange to talk when it is. Careers That Require Excellent Verbal Communication Skills Regardless of what your career  is, you will  likely have to speak to people at least on occasion. Therefore good verbal communication skills are critical. Some occupations, however, depend on having superior verbal communication skills. Here are several that require this  soft skill: Chief Executive:  Chief executives are in charge of all activities in the organizations they run.

They must be able to provide feedback to their workers in a clear manner.

Take a Leap of Faith in a Job Hopper

Take a Leap of Faith in a Job Hopper Leap of Faith in a Job Hopper? Take a Leap of Faith in a Job Hopper I read a blog post recently that posed a rather simple question: Would you hire a job hopper? Put another way: If you had two finalists for a position, would you go with the one who stayed five years at her last job? Or the job hopper who worked five jobs in the last five years? The topic generated more than the usual number of comments, with some valuing loyalty and others arguing that many of today's workers are simply more apt to bolt if their jobs are not serving their careers or lives well. Any job hopper would cause a bit of concern with a hiring manager, which is only natural. But what amuses me - or maybe more accurately, ticks me off - is a hiring manager who would reject a job hopper while his or her own company shows no loyalty to its own staff by always taking layoffs as a path to profitability, or that doesn't invest sufficiently in employee training and development (if at all), or both. Such a hiring manager would be a shining example of corporate hypocrisy. If I were a hiring manager, I would admittedly be concerned about hiring the job hopper. But at the same time, I would be compelled to ask myself these questions: Would the applicant fill a critical role for us, and fill it well? Do we have an employee training and professional development program that mightturn this job hopper into a high-level contributor and long-term employee? Are the applicant's long-term (i.e., three to five years out) career goals ones we could feasibly help him or her reach through professional development? Does this person want professional development? If this person were to leave after a year or so, could the work be redistributed easily? If the job-hopping was related to salary or benefits issues, how do we stack up against our competitors or companies of similar size? Hiring managers need not fear job hoppers unless they have no clear career goals in mind. I'd be concerned about hiring a person who cannot clearly state that in a resume or articulate it in an interview. Yes, job hopping may be a regular practice among the Millennial/Generation Y set, but anyone - at any stage in life - can hop from job to job without a purpose. That's why, as an applicant, you should chart your career course before you search for a company you believe would be a good stop along the way. I welcome thoughts from both job seekers and hiring managers. Does this topic bring out more than just a little bit of emotion in you?

How to Describe Work Ethic on Consulting Jobs Resume Management Resources

How to Describe Work Ethic on Consulting Jobs Resume Management Resources How to Describe Work Ethic on Consulting Jobs Resume Management Resources Motivated? Driven? Strategic? Responsible? Even if these adjectives describe you as a professional, you should avoid using them when describing your work ethic on your resume for consulting jobs. Here’s why: They’re buzzwords. (For more examples, see this list from LinkedIn). These are the exact same words that countless other consultants are sprinkling throughout their job applications - adjectives you can be assured hiring managers are tired of reading. And aside from being overused, buzzwords don't necessarily communicate your work ethic as effectively as you might think. Dan DeNisco, senior vice president for Robert Half Management Resources, says: “Some of the overused words that I prefer not to see on a consulting resume are creative, innovative, self-starter and good communicator. In particular, creative and innovative don’t go over very well in financial reporting. I want to see specific, value-added statements that highlight ROIs of interest to prospective employers.” Reach for action phrases - not just a thesaurus So, how do you make your work ethic stand out on paper? By underscoring your deliverables. Use your resume to spell out some of the results you’ve achieved in previous consulting jobs. Here are some examples of how to replace a tired adjective with a more engaging action phrase that conveys the same work ethic: Responsible Performed analysis of internal controls, systems and financial reporting and implemented new procedures that shortened the monthly closing cycle from six to three days. Strategic Reduced general and administrative expenses by $300,000 by reviewing and renegotiating vendor agreements. Effective Developed and implemented new policies and process improvements for the manufacturing group in Q2, which allowed them to increase productivity by 11 percent in Q3 without raising associated costs. Organizational Orchestrated a multidepartment initiative in the investment division to investigate “asset merge” discrepancies. Identified several control inefficiencies and devised action plans with management, banks and security holders to correct. Now more than ever, companies value the flexibility and specialized expertise a consultant can bring to their more complex projects and initiatives. If your resume for consulting jobs highlights the measurable results of your skills, rather than listing a handful of overused adjectives, you will be much more likely to attract a prospective client’s attention.
