the way tO handle stress...

One of the most singificant problems human beings face as a general population is how to handle stress. As a life & career expert, and an acclaimed advice columnist, I have compiled eleven of the most significant ways that you can reduce stress in your life. Here are sOme way tO handle stress...

• TALK..Don't hold all your feelings within..Discuss your stressful feelings with someone you trust who will listen without being judgmental or pressuring you to their own point of view. Even if you can't change the immediate situation, talking about it helps alleviate some of the tension you may be feeling. 

• ACT..Be willing to take risk and make change, no matter how small. Try to change the stressful situation, or at least some part of it. Moving forward in small ways helps you feel empowered and in control. Put one foot in front of the other to move in a positive direction. Soon, the stress will lessen.

• LISTEN TO YOUR BODY! If you learn about how your body reacts to stress, you can also learn how to counter that stress. Learn to listen to your body's signals and find ways to reduce your stress, even if it's just "taking five" to clear your mind. RelaxatiOn exercises (E.g. Yoga, meditation, physical exercise) help, too.

• BE IN CHARGE..Discover what you need to feel good about yourself and get your needs met. Another way to reduce your stress is to find an interest, hobby or activity where you feel in charge and call the shots. If you really feel out of control, don't stay silent and alone! Seek guidance from someone who is qualified to help you get through the obstacles, and move forward again. If you can't find someone qualified in your neighborhood or you don't feel as though you can talk to someone "in person" try a qualified internet counselor.

• DON'T OVERWHELM YOURSELF..If you are stressed and overwhelmed, perhaps you are trying to handle too much. Rid yourself of extra duties that aren't necessary or important. Learn how to delegate and how to say "no" without feeling guilty. Ask for help if you need it.

• GET AWAY: Sometimes a change, however small, can do wonders for your spirit. Forget it all for a while--escape! Go somewhere new for a few hours, or a few days if you can afford to. If not, it may be helpful just to "get away" to a warm bath for a little while.

• PRIORITIZE: You may not be able to avoid all the responsibilities obligations you currently have, but you can learn how to complete them without resentment and consciously choose how you will handle them.

• EXTEND YOURSELF..Make your own life better by making someone else life better. Give of yourself. Volunteer! You will feel empowered, positive, important...and you will be.

• MAKE SUCCESS HAPPEN..If you can't change the world, change yourself! Learn how to love yourself as you are, while you work towards your goals. Then, make a commitment to yourself to start improving the things about yourself and your life that (you believe) need it. Instead of immediate, dramatic change, learn to enjoy the journey of lifelong self-improvement. 

• SOCIALIZE..Spend time with family and friends for love and support. Don't be afraid to enjoy yourself..Appreciate friendship and let others know you care about them, too. Love may not conquer all, but it's a great start..

• LEARN HOW TO BE HAPPY: One thing all of life's winners have in common is a sense of well-being, a positive attitude and realistic goals. Focus on the good things about yourself, and in your life. Nobody's perfect. Learn to enjoy the "little things" that make you happy. Count your blessings. Put this "blessing" in a jar along with a dollar or more. Do this for one month. At the end of the month read all those slips of paper and you will realize that life is better than you think.

cOmmOn interview questiOns and answers..

Tell me about yourself:

• The most often asked question in interviews. You need to have a short statement prepared in your mind. Be careful that it does not sound rehearsed. Limit it to work-related items unless instructed otherwise. Talk about things you have done and jobs you have held that relate to the position you are interviewing for. Start with the item farthest back and work up to the present.

Why did you leave your last job?

• Stay positive regardless of the circumstances. Never refer to a major problem with management and never speak ill of supervisors, co-workers or the organization. If you do, you will be the one looking bad. Keep smiling and talk about leaving for a positive reason such as an opportunity, a chance to do something special or other forward-looking reasons.

What experience do you have in this field?

• Speak about specifics that relate to the position you are applying for. If you do not have specific experience, get as close as you can.

Do you consider yourself successful?

• You should always answer yes and briefly explain why. A good explanation is that you have set goals, and you have met some and are on track to achieve the others.

What do you know about this organization?

• This question is one reason to do some research on the organization before the interview. Find out where they have been and where they are going. What are the current issues and who are the major players?

What have you done to improve your knowledge in the last year?

• Try to include improvement activities that relate to the job. A wide variety of activities can be mentioned as positive self-improvement. Have some good ones handy to mention.

Are you applying for other jobs?

• Be honest but do not spend a lot of time in this area. Keep the focus on this job and what you can do for this organization. 

Why do you want to work for this organization?

• This may take some thought and certainly, should be based on the research you have done on the organization. Sincerity is extremely important here and will easily be sensed. Relate it to your long-term career goals.

Do you know anyone who works for us?

• Be aware of the policy on relatives working for the organization. This can affect your answer even though they asked about friends not relatives. Be careful to mention a friend only if they are well thought of.

What kind of salary do you need?

• A loaded question. A nasty little game that you will probably lose if you answer first. So, do not answer it. Instead, say something like, That's a tough question. Can you tell me the range for this position? In most cases, the interviewer, taken off guard, will tell you. If not, say that it can depend on the details of the job. Then give a wide range.

Are you a team player?

• You are, of course, a team player. Be sure to have examples ready. Specifics that show you often perform for the good of the team rather than for yourself are good evidence of your team attitude. Do not brag, just say it in a matter-of-fact tone. This is a key point.

How long would you expect to work for us if hired?

• Specifics here are not good. Something like this should work: I'd like it to be a long time. Or As long as we both feel I'm doing a good job.

Have you ever had to fire anyone? How did you feel about that?

• This is serious. Do not make light of it or in any way seem like you like to fire people. At the same time, you will do it when it is the right thing to do. When it comes to the organization versus the individual who has created a harmful situation, you will protect the organization. Remember firing is not the same as layoff or reduction in force.

What is your philosophy towards work?

• The interviewer is not looking for a long or flowery dissertation here. Do you have strong feelings that the job gets done? Yes. That's the type of answer that works best here. Short and positive, showing a benefit to the organization.

Explain how you would be an asset to this organization

• You should be anxious for this question. It gives you a chance to highlight your best points as they relate to the position being discussed. Give a little advance thought to this relationship.

Why should we hire you?

• Point out how your assets meet what the organization needs. Do not mention any other candidates to make a comparison.

Tell me about a suggestion you have made

• Have a good one ready. Be sure and use a suggestion that was accepted and was then considered successful. One related to the type of work applied for is a real plus.

What is your greatest strength?

• Numerous answers are good, just stay positive. A few good examples: Your ability to prioritize, Your problem-solving skills, Your ability to work under pressure, Your ability to focus on projects, Your professional expertise, Your leadership skills, Your positive attitude .

Why do you think you would do well at this job?

• Give several reasons and include skills, experience and interest.

What kind of person would you refuse to work with?

• Do not be trivial. It would take disloyalty to the organization, violence or lawbreaking to get you to object. Minor objections will label you as a whiner.

What is more important to you: the money or the work?

• Money is always important, but the work is the most important. There is no better answer.

What would your previous supervisor say your strongest point is?

• There are numerous good possibilities: Loyalty, Energy, Positive attitude, Leadership, Team player, Expertise, Initiative, Patience, Hard work, Creativity, Problem solver

Tell me about a problem you had with a supervisor

• Biggest trap of all. This is a test to see if you will speak ill of your boss. If you fall for it and tell about a problem with a former boss, you may well below the interview right there. Stay positive and develop a poor memory about any trouble with a supervisor.

What has disappointed you about a job?

• Don't get trivial or negative. Safe areas are few but can include: Not enough of a challenge. You were laid off in a reduction Company did not win a contract, which would have given you more responsibility.

Tell me about your ability to work under pressure.

• You may say that you thrive under certain types of pressure. Give an example that relates to the type of position applied for.

Do your skills match this job or another job more closely?

• Probably this one. Do not give fuel to the suspicion that you may want another job more than this one.

What motivates you to do your best on the job?

• This is a personal trait that only you can say, but good examples are: Challenge, Achievement, Recognition

Are you willing to work overtime? Nights? Weekends?

• This is up to you. Be totally honest.

How would you know you were successful on this job?

• Several ways are good measures: You set high standards for yourself and meet them. Your outcomes are a success.Your boss tell you that you are successful

Are you willing to put the interests of the organization ahead of your own?

• This is a straight loyalty and dedication question. Do not worry about the deep ethical and philosophical implications. Just say yes.

Describe your management style.

• Try to avoid labels. Some of the more common labels, like progressive, salesman or consensus, can have several meanings or descriptions depending on which management expert you listen to. The situational style is safe, because it says you will manage according to the situation, instead of one size fits all.

What have you learned from mistakes on the job?

• Here you have to come up with something or you strain credibility. Make it small, well intentioned mistake with a positive lesson learned. An example would be working too far ahead of colleagues on a project and thus throwing coordination off.

If you were hiring a person for this job, what would you look for?

• Be careful to mention traits that are needed and that you have.

Do you think you are overqualified for this position?

• Regardless of your qualifications, state that you are very well qualified for the position.

How do you propose to compensate for your lack of experience?

• First, if you have experience that the interviewer does not know about, bring that up: Then, point out (if true) that you are a hard working quick learner.

What qualities do you look for in a boss?

• Be generic and positive. Safe qualities are knowledgeable, a sense of humor, fair, loyal to subordinates and holder of high standards. All bosses think they have these traits.

What position do you prefer on a team working on a project?

• Be honest. If you are comfortable in different roles, point that out.

Describe your work ethic.

• Emphasize benefits to the organization. Things like, determination to get the job done and work hard but enjoy your work are good.

What has been your biggest professional disappointment?

• Be sure that you refer to something that was beyond your control. Show acceptance and no negative feelings.

Tell me about the most fun you have had on the job.

• Talk about having fun by accomplishing something for the organization.

Do you have any questions for me?

• Always have some questions prepared. Questions prepared where you will be an asset to the organization are good. How soon will I be able to be productive? and What type of projects will I be able to assist on? are examples.

write a resume~

identificatiOn Or persOnal biOdata: 

• begin your resume with your name, address, telephone number and email address. Moststudents include a college address and a permanent address. Area codes and zip codes should also be included. Make sure you include a telephone number where you can be reached or where voice mail messages can be left. 

educatiOn: 

• as your education may be your biggest accomplishment thus far, it belongs at the top. You may also include honors, or awards related to your education.
• GPA – Listing your GPA is optional. The Registrar’s official policy is not to provide GPA or class rank to people outside of the College but in many cases, you will be asked to provide it on an application. You may calculate your GPA on your own and list it on your resume. A general rule is if you have a 3.0 or higher, you may want to include it. For more information about GPA and to compute your GPA using a special calculator, visit the Registrar’s website.
• Courses – In your Education section, you can choose to include a list of some of the courses you have taken. These courses should be tailored to the type of position you are applying for. If you prefer, “Relevant Coursework” can be listed as a separate section on your resume.
• High School: To list or not to list? – If including high school shows a geographic familiarity that may be important to the employer, significant honors or strengthens the representation of yourself, you may wish to include it. For many first-years and sophomores, it is appropriate to include high school and to list activities and awards received during that time. Only include data that is relevant.

experience:

• yOu can include any of the work that you have done, including full-time, part-time, paid, volunteer, on-campus, off-campus, summer jobs, internships, externships, college projects, independent research, or anything else that may have required time, effort, or skill.

• Breaking it down: When listing your experience, select a category title that matches the type of job you are applying for. For example, someone interested in teaching could have a “Related Experience” or “Teaching Experience” section that would include teaching and tutoring experience and an “Additional Experience” section that would include all other experiences (work, activities, etc.).

• Consider the transferable skills. They may indirectly relate to the job you presently seek through the skills you used or the content of the work you performed.

• Not all of your experience needs to be included on your resume. Communicate experiences that are relevant to your goal but make sure not to have unexplained gaps in time between positions.

prOfessiOnal affiliatiOn: 

• If you belong to professional organizations (either as a student or regular member) or hold professional certificates or licenses, a section on professional affiliations may be useful. Include membership, offices held, and work done for the organization.

interest, skills & activities: 

• these sections can highlight particular skills, show a breadth of interests, show your personal characteristics, act as an icebreaker in an interview, and provide common ground between you and the interviewer. These sections will be different for every person, depending on background.

• Skills: Special skills such as knowledge of languages, computers, public speaking, artistic ability, and any "extras" that may enhance your qualifications for a position

• Activities: Usually groups with which you may be involved, leadership roles, and volunteer positions, either in or out of college

• Interests: Usually individual longer-term interests such as music, horseback riding, chess, train travel, reading. Before adding any of the above optional categories, ask yourself what value the content will add.

putting it all tOgether..
When developing your resume and describing your experiences, focus on:

• Your highest level of responsibility in the position – limit your description of mundane tasks and instead describe interesting projects or ways you took initiative.

• Transferable skills – bridge the gap between what you’ve done and what you want to do.

• Accomplishments – emphasize ways you made a difference, took initiative, and how your role contributed to the larger goals of the group or organization. Quantify if possible.

Three main considerations in developing a resume are content, order, and layout:

• Content: Assess your interests, skills, competencies, and experiences in light of the career field you seek to enter. In doing this you will make decisions as to what to include and what not to include.

• Order: The format you choose makes a statement about the importance and relevance of your experiences for the desired position. Entries that appear first and/or take up significant space are perceived as more important than other entries – this should influence your arrangement of items.

• Layout: You want your resume to be well laid out, understandable, clear, organized, and above all, inviting to read. Employers look over resumes quickly; therefore, you want your qualifications to jump off the page. Your goal is to organize the resume to maximize its clarity, focus, and impact.

References: 

It is standard practice to end the resume with the “References available upon request.” Make sure you have your references lined up so you can quickly respond to a reference request. You should make sure your references are ready and willing to give you a strong reference. Some organizations/companies will simply want to contact the references by telephone. Others may want a formal, letter of recommendation. Some letters of recommendation are confidential and sent directly to the organization/company or delivered by the applicant in a sealed envelope. Others are less formal. It is a good idea to have letters of recommendation with you when you go to interview, unless of course they are confidential letters of recommendation. In any case you should have a typed list of references with you when you go to interview. References should be professional references, not personal references. Reference lists should include:

•  References full name and title(s)

•  Position in organization

•  Work Address

•  Work telephone number

•  email address

•  context in which they knew you (supervisor, professor, etc.)

•  how long they knew you

•  You should ask your physics faculty advisor to review the resume for content.

• Use a 10-12 point font in a style like Arial, Garamond, Helvetica, or Times New Roman.
• Margins – Try to keep about 1” on all sides of the document.

write a cOver letter~

Your resume shOuld always have a gOod COVER LETTER attached, as a persOnal cOmmunicatiOn between yOu and the individual whO receives the resume.

 

Many job hunters are intimidated by the task of writing a cover letter, but it's not that hard if you think of it as just a friendly, simple communication from one person to another. It is in the interests of both parties to make a good connection!

 

How To Write a Good Cover Letter

• Be sure to address your cover letter by name and title & to the person who could actually hire you. When it's impossible to learn their name, use their functional title, such as "Dear Manager". Never say "To whom it may concern" or "Dear Sir or Madam"..

 

• In the cover letter you should also make it clear that you are familiar with the organization and what it is that they do. Point out to them what you can bring to the position. “ What can you do for them?”

• Express your enthusiasm and interest in this line of work and this company. If you have a good idea that might help the employer resolve a problem currently facing their industry, offer to come in and discuss it.

 

• Project warmth and friendliness, while still being professional. Avoid any generic phrases such as "Enclosed please find." This is a letter to a real live person.

 

• Set yourself apart from the crowd. Identify at least one thing about you that's unique - say a special talent for getting along with everybody at work, or some unusual skill that goes beyond the essential requirements of the position -- something that distinguishes you AND is relevant to the job. (Then, if several others are equally qualified for the job, your uniqueness may be the reason to choose YOU.)

 

• Be specific about what you are asking for and what you are offering. Make it clear which position you're applying for and just what experience or skill you have that relates to that position.

 

• Take the initiative about the next step whenever possible, and be specific. "I'll call your office early next week to see if we could meet soon and discuss this job opening," for example. or - if you're exploring for UN-announced jobs that my come up - "I'll call your office next week to see if we could meet soon, to discuss your company's needs for help in the near future."

 

The cOver letter is alsO a great place tO use all thOse passive wOrds like cOnfident, self-starter, prOblem identifier, prOblem sOlver, decisiOn maker, etc.. In the cOver letter, yOu shOuld let them knOw that yOu will be fOllOwing up. FOllowing up in One week shPuld be gOod.
