The 10 biggest minutes of your interview

The 10 biggest minutes of your interviewThe 10 biggest minutes of your interviewHeres how to make the first 10 minutes of your interview work in your favor.Youve heard it said before First impressions are the most important.When it comes to the job interview, heres recent proof that proves this pointA new survey suggests hiring managers often know whether they might hire someone soon after the opening handshake and small talk. Executives were asked, How long does it typically take you to form either a positive or negative opinion of a job candidate during an initial interview? The mean response was 10 minutes. Those polled said it takes them just 10 minutes to form an opinion of job seekers, despite meeting with staff-level applicants for 55 minutes and management-level candidates for 86 minutes on average.This came from a survey developed by Robert Half Finance Accounting, the largest specialized financial recruitment service, and published April 12, 2007. It included responses fro m 150 senior executives with Fortune 1,000 companies.So what does this mean for you as you approach your future job interviews?Max Messmer, chairman and CEO of Robert Half International, sums it up when he says, The interview begins the moment job seekers arrive, so applicants need to project enthusiasm and confidence from the start. The opening minutes of the conversation often set the tone for the rest of the discussion, making it wise to prepare especially well for the first few interview questions.Heres how to make the first 10 minutes of your interview work in your favorKnow the four most important questionsPay close attention to the four most important questions employers want answers to when theyre interviewing youWhy are you here?(Also phrased as What do you know about us? or Why are you here today?)What can you do for us?(Also phrased as Tell me a little about yourself, Why are you looking to change jobs? or Whats your most important accomplishment to date?)Will you fit in? (Also phrased as Will you get along with our values and culture?)What makes you different from everyone else that we may have talked with?(Also phrased as, Will you go that extra mile? or Why should we hire you?)Rehearse your answers with your own personal stories. ansicht are short narratives describing specific times in your past when you overcame a crisis, led a team, met a deadline, or resurrected a failed project.Know the companyDo your homework. Always research the company before you interview. Know who they are, what their major challenges are today and the current buzz about them.Why? The first few minutes of the interview are the time to flatter them.Remember the question, Why are you here? Show them that youve done your research and not only know something about their company, but also have several reasons for being enthusiastic about working for them. Let this enthusiasm carry over into your demeanor as you walk in the door.Know your roleFirst impressions count for a lot, especially in the job interview. Youre on stage from the minute you enter the room. So play your role by first getting into characterRemember The character you play is that of a problem solver, not a job seeker.As a problem solver, you know why you are here, youre excited about this company, and you know you can help them achieve their goals.With this kind of ammunition, you can score direct hits on their opening questions and win big points for yourself by demonstrating you are both knowledgeable and excited about their opportunity.

Old school 7 ideas from ancient thinkers to improve your modern life

Old school 7 ideas from ancient thinkers to improve your faulen lifeOld school 7 ideas from ancient thinkers to improve your verlottern lifeThe modern world has brought us a lot of great stuff. (I, for one, am ahugefan of antibiotics.)That said,we know there are things that were better in the past, ideaswe can learn from or reclaim.Whats interesting is recently science and experts havevalidated many of the lessons ancient thinkersknew but could notlage prove.Here are 7 new ideas from the old worldthat canmake your life better1) Community Is VitalFor 99% of human existence we lived in small tribes. We were constantly surrounded by family and friends.Jared Diamond, author ofGuns, Germs, and Steel, says its obvious why hunter-gatherers joinmodern society and not the other way aroundbutwhat are the advantages of the traditional world that they leave behind?Always being surrounded bythe people they love.ViaThe World Until YesterdayLoneliness is not a problem in traditional societies.Peopl e spend their lives in or near the place where they were born, and they remain surrounded by relatives and childhood companions As one American friend who spends much time in Africa summed it up,Life in Africa is materially poor and socially/ emotionally rich, while U.S. life is materially rich and socially/ emotionally poor.And, no, Facebook isnot a replacementfor time with friendsIn one experiment,Cacioppolooked for a connection between the loneliness of subjects and the relative frequency of their interactions via Facebook, chat rooms, online games, dating sites, and face-to-face contact.The results were unequivocal. The greater the proportion of face-to-face interactions, the less lonely you are, he says. The greater the proportion of online interactions, the lonelier you are.Not feeling socially connected canmake you stupider and lead to an early deathWhen peoples sense of social connectedness is threatened, their ability to self-regulate suffers for instance their IQ performan ce drops (Baumeister, Twenge, Nuss, 2002). Feeling lonely predicts early death as much as major health risk behaviors like smoking (Cacioppo Patrick, 2008).The solution?Use technology to facilitate face to face meetings with friends, not to replace them.(For mora on how to improve your social life, gohere.)We definitely need others, but what did our ancestors know about feeling better as an individual?2) Mens sana in corpore sanoLook at me getting all fancy with the Latin - actually its a phrase weve all heard A sound mind in a healthy body.Originally written by the Roman poetJuvenal,itwas meant to make sure we kept our priorities straight.But in the modern world we oftenneglect our bodies, eating bad food and not exercising.Science backs Juvenal up. In fact,research showshaving a healthy body is an essential parte of having a sound mind.Want to get smarter? Exercise.ViaSpark The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the BrainOne of the prominent features of exercise, which is sometimes not appreciated in studies, is an improvement inthe rate of learning, and I think thats a really cool take-home message, Cotman says. Because it suggests that if youre in good shape, you may be able to learn and function mora efficiently.How about happiness?Research from Duke University shows exercise is as effective as antidepressants in treating depression.ViaSpark The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the BrainIn alandmark study affectionately called SMILE (Standard Medical Intervention and Long-term Exercise), James Blumenthal and his colleagues pitted exercise against the SSRI sertraline (Zoloft) in a sixteen-week trial Blumenthal concluded that exercise was as effective as medication.Whats truly amazing is that exercise can help you totally overhaul your life.Working out is whatCharles Duhiggcalls a keystone habit.Its a habit that research showsleads people to create other, often unrelated, good habitsWhen people start habitually exercising, even as infreque ntly as once a week, they start changing other, unrelated patterns in their lives, often unknowingly. Typically, people who exercise start eating better and becoming more productive at work. They smoke less and show more patience with colleagues and family. They use their credit cards less frequently and say they feel less stressed. Its not completely clear why. But for many people, exercise is a keystone habit that triggers widespread change. Exercise spills over, said James Prochaska, a University of Rhode Island researcher. Theres something about it that makes other good habits easier.(For more on how to build better habits and overhaul your life gohere.)So community can surround us with friends and exercise can build a better body and mind. But what can the ancients teachus about wisdom?3) Gnothi seautonNot Latin this time, its Greek.This is the most famous maxim from the Oracle at Delphi in ancient Greece Know Thyself.Often espoused but rarely systematically explored, there are few things that can truly guide powerful decisions more than knowledge of who you really are.Pete Drucker, modern business guru, knewthe ancient Greeks were on to something.Drucker saidits only by having a clear vision of your strengths that you can make good decisions.ViaManagement Challenges for the 21st Century(This) enables people to say to an opportunity, to an offer, to an assignment Yes, Ill do that. But this is the wayIshould be doing it. This is the way it should be structured. This is the way my relationships should be. These are the kind of results you should expect from me, and in this time frame, becausethis is who I am.When I askedGautam Mukunda, leadership expert at Harvard Business School, thekey to becoming a better leader, he didnt hesitateMore than anything else, Know thyself. Know what your type is. That if you are, both in the sense that you can use these coding rules to figure out okay, how would I score with the organization? But even more profoundly, think a bout your own personality There are types, and Im not saying be in the wings, Im saying be who you are, and understand what the downfalls of that are so you can counteract that.(For more on theprocess of how to get to know yourself better, gohere.)But what aboutafterthe big decisions? How do weprepare better for the tough situations that inevitably follow?4) Premeditatio MalorumYou can call it the premortem. More simply,its merely asking yourself the question Whats the worst that could happen?TheStoic philosopherswould imagine the worst before any major undertaking. Why? To prepare themselves.Ryan Holiday, author of the excellent bookThe Obstacle Is the Wayexplainswe look to envision what could go wrong, what will go wrong, in advance, before we start. Far too many ambitious undertakings fail for preventable reasons. Far too many people dont have a backup plan because they refuse to consider something might not go exactly as they wish.Today this technique not onlyhelps CEOs close de als, it saves lives.Dan Coyle, the expert on expertise, says its anessential part of how US Special Forces preparefor every dangerous missionthey spend the entire morning going over every possible mistake or disaster that could happen during the mission. Every possible screwup is mercilessly examined, and linked to an appropriate responseif the helicopter crash-lands, well do X. If we are dropped off at the wrong spot, well do Y. If we are outnumbered, well do Z.(For more on how premortems can make sure youre prepared for anything, gohere.)So the premortem can get you ready. But what makes sure we actually knuckle down and getthe work done?5) FocusIf this were Renaissance Italy, you might be an apprentice studying under a master of his craft. Robert Greene, author ofMastery, explainsAn apprenticeship in the old days was about seven to ten years, and thats pretty much how it is now, because thats how long it takes to become extremely skilled at what you do.If youre busting your hump every day to be amazing, 10 years is around10,000 hours- the expertise number Malcolm Gladwell popularized inOutliers.Why does it seem so hard to become a master of your craft today vs in 1400s Florence? Its all the distractions.And our natural reaction is tothink we need yet another thing to save us from the distractions. Wrong.What we need is more like the old days - fewer things, not more.Lifehacker extraordinaire Tim Ferris, author ofThe 4-Hour Workweek,has some insight on this. I gave him a call for his thoughtsFocus is a function, first and foremost, of limiting the number of options you give yourself for procrastinatingFocus is thought of as this magical ability. Its not a magical ability. Put yourself in a padded room, with the problem that you need to work on, and shut the door. Thats it. The degree to which you can replicate that, and systematize it, is the extent to which you will have focus.(For more on the secrets to focus and improvement gohere.)The classics can teac h us a lot about getting better at work. What about at home? What do they say about family?6) A Family LegacyWe get a kick out ofGame of Thrones, where the different families are known to be one way or another A Lannister always pays his debts.With our moreindividualist culture, weve moved away from this - and certainly no one should be branded forever by their family name.That said,research has shown thathaving a family story that you share with your children can be extraordinarily powerful.Children who know the stories of those who came before them have higher self-esteem and a sense of control over their lives.ViaThe Secrets of Happy Families Improve Your Mornings, Rethink Family Dinner, Fight Smarter, Go Out and Play, and Much MoreMarshall and Robyn asked those questions of four dozen families in the summer of 2001, and also taped several of their dinner table conversations. They then compared the childrens results to a battery of psychological tests and reached some overwhelmi ng conclusions.The more children knew about their familys history, the stronger their sense of control over their lives, the higher their self-esteem, and the more successfully they believed their families functionedMarshall says that children who have the most balance and self-confidence in their lives do so because of what he and Robyn call a strong intergenerational self. They know they belong to something bigger than themselves.Weve been led to believe that kids merelyneed good rules. But that doesnt jive with how the human mind works.We dont remember rules very well - only 14% of people can remember all Ten Commandments.ViaThink Like a Freak The Authors of Freakonomics Offer to Retrain Your BrainA recent survey found that only 14 percent of U.S. adults could recall all Ten Commandments only 71 percent could name even one commandment. (The three best-remembered commandments were numbers 6, 8, and 10- murder, stealing, and coveting- while number forbidding false gods, was in l ast place.)We dont remember rulesorstatistics. But we do rememberstories.And what effects do stories have on us? Research shows that the list is longTheymotivateus.They give lifemeaning.They relievedepression(and are more effective thanmedication.)They offerguidance for decision making.Theyincrease learningin children.(For more on how to improve your family,gohere.)So if theres one takeaway here, what idea hasstood the test of time all around the world?7) The Golden RuleThere have beenalotof great ideasin the past fewthousand years. But what does everyone around the globe, throughout time all seem to agree on?The Golden Rule.We find it at the rootof most every major religion.Via30 Lessons for Living Tried and True Advice from the Wisest AmericansThe version of the Golden Rule that most of the experts learned in Sunday school comesfrom the King James Version of the Bible and goes like this All things whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, do yeeven so to them.But one reason why the Golden Rule comes up so frequently is that every religious tradition has a version of it.Hinduism Knowing how painful it is to himself, a person should never do to others what he dislikes when done to him by others.Judaism What is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbor.And Islam None of you truly believes until he wishes for his brother what he wishes for himself.And research has validated how fundamental theidea of reciprocity is to human nature.Adam Granthas shown that nice guys do finish last but they also finishfirst.Givers are disproportionately represented at the bottomandat the top when you look atwho succeeds in lifeThen I looked at the other end of the spectrum and said if Givers are at the bottom,whos at the top? Actually, I was really surprised to discover, its the Givers again. The people who consistently are looking for ways to help others are over-represented not only at the bottom, but also at the top of most success metrics.(For more on how to leverage t he science of karma and the Golden Rule gohere.)Sum UpThere are plenty ofold sayings that are true and plenty that are false.The good old days werent always good but weve got a lot to learn from the thousands of years of living that happened before us.Here are a fewCommunity Is VitalA Sound Mind In A Healthy BodyKnow ThyselfThe PremortemFocusA Family LegacyThe Golden RuleMany things are gone but not forgotten - but here we have some powerful lessons that are forgotten but not gone.Join 315K+ readers.Get a free weekly update via emailhere.Related posts4 Lifehacks From Ancient Philosophers That Will Make You HappierWhat 10 things should you do every day to improve your life?How To Make Your Life Better By Sending Five Simple EmailsThis articlefirst appeared at Barking Up the Wrong Tree.

4 Tried and True Resume Tips

4 Tried and True Resume Tips 4 Tried and True Resume Tips This article is about the latter honest advice that gives you the kind of resume hiring managers and recruiters want to see, and the tried and true resume tips that just plain work.Tip 1 Explain your accomplishments Your resume is a marketing document, not a list of job descriptions.Your reader doesnt want to see what you did on a daily basis they want to see results and measurable outcomes indicating past performance. Think hard facts and data driven results. When you are describing the job that you performed, phrase it in terms of accomplishments. When you hear a politician talk about their record, youll notice they dont say, When I was governor, I cast votes, signed executive orders, and presided over ceremonies. Instead, they say, When I was governor, I lowered taxes, increased equality, etc.. Talk about your record, not the fact that you did something you were supposed to do anyway.Tip 2 Dont include an objective/summa ry statement Unless youre changing your career path entirely, consider forgoing the objective statement. Why? Because the objective statement eats up valuable real estate and says nothing about you as a candidate. Recruiters and hiring managers read through countless resumes every day and each objective statement sounds exactly like the brde one. Including one wont help you stand out. The one exception is if you are going to take the time to craft anindividualized objective statement for each job to which you apply.Tip 3 Your Resume can (and should) be more than one page Unless youre right out of college, theres no reason for your resume to be just one page. Elaborate on your accomplishments and provide details of your past experiences. The one page resume cliche is a novice mistake for seasoned professionals to be making. On the other hand, know that recruiters and hiring managers are busy two pages is a good maximum.Tip 4 Avoid useless and out of place information Thats right, le ave the fluff and the filler at the door. Dont say that you are a great communicator, exceptional and proactive negotiator, etc Get rid of soaring adverbs and any grandiose jargon what does any of it all mean anyway? Recruiters and hiring managers want to see hard facts, not a B-Movie poster. You dont hire someone because they say they are great you hire someone that you know has done great things or is capable of great things. Also, dont include personal data, business references, or salary requirements. Its unprofessional and may cost you the job.Finally as a word of closing, remember to sell yourself. This can be accomplished without the use of trickery and fanfare. At the same time, now is not the time for modesty. Be bold. Youre advertising a portrait of yourself, but your story must be proven instead of told an honest assessment of a qualified individual is all that interviewers are after.Master the art of closing deals and making placements. Take our Recruiter Certificatio n Program today. Were SHRM certified. Learn at your own pace during this 12-week program. Access over 20 courses. Great for those who want to break into recruiting, or recruiters who want to further their career.

From the way professionals find talent, to the way they move candidates through the interview process, the field continually develops as technology shifts.However, while there are plenty of pros that come with new systems and tools, there are also some cons to consider. Heres what you need to know about incorporating recruiting technology into your hiring processThe technology you depend on to find talentApplicant tracking systemsIn years past, hiring was a cumbersome process. You received resumes and cover letters by mail and had to store these documents in filing cabinets, hoping you didnt lose any along the way. Today, applicant tracking systems (ATS) make it much easier to manage and sort the documents you receive. However, there are certainly pros and cons to utilizing this schrift of system.The pros No more lost resumes, and you wont drown in piles of loose papers anymore. This technology makes hiring a much more organized system. It also moves things along at a more rapid pace, which benefits both the company and the job seeker.The cons Those in search of new top talent might question whether software truly has the ability to read a resume the way a human does. Especially when it comes to the resume parsing within an ATS, how can the technology tell if a rolles professional experience translates into their ability to blend in well with an existing gruppe? How does it know to place the proper value on certain experiences or traits? These are valid concerns that a hiring manager must consider.Social mediaFor many people, social media is a prevalent parte of daily life. You scroll Instagram on a lunch break or fire off a funny tweet without even thinking about it. Though it may be great for pictures of your kids or your pets, social media actually provides professional value too.Those seeking out new career opportunities can use social media to really show their personality and professional prowess in a unique way to fhigkeit employers. They can join forums to boost their network or use it to find relevant articles about their industry that they may not have discovered otherwise.The pros For recruiters, social media has a lot of upside. It makes it much easier to discover and get in contact with potential new hires. You can get a sense of what this individual is all about before you bring them in for an interview. If theyre posting offensive tweets or pictures of themselves stumbling home every weekend, you will likely reconsider extending them an offer to come in for a face-to-face conversation.The cons Some recruiters and hiring managers have begun to rely on social media as a crutch. Because Twitter and LinkedIn exist, they feel that they dont have to head to networking events and develop real-life relationships. Remember that social media is a valuable tool, but it should co mplement your in-person relationship building skills, not replace them.Also, bear in mind that not all talented professionals utilize social media to the same extent. While its certainly an important way to seek out candidates, you shouldnt discount qualified professionals who prioritize certain social media mediums over others or value their home-life privacy.Your companys websiteBeyond assisting with branding, your geschftlicher umgangs website can aid in the recruiting and hiring process. When you have an open role available, post details about the position on your website, and be sure to create a portal where interested individuals can apply for the job.The pros Those who are visiting your companys website might already have an interest in the brand. While you have a captive audience, put the website to work for you through engaging employee videos that capture the culture or brief introduction videos to give job seekers a personal look at the team.The cons Relying on the compan y website as your sole recruiting tool is a risky move, as you have to trust that a job-seeker will visit the site to find out about job postings. While many will, some people will only check career boards like Monster.com or Simply Hired.Besides that, this strategy doesnt account for passive job seekers. Be sure to keep the company site updated with relevant job openings, but also tackle other means to spread the word and employment brand.Mobile recruitment toolsNo matter what industry youre in, now more than ever, youre probably fairly attached to your phone. Accidentally leave home without it one morning and youll feel lost all day. Those seeking out new career opportunities are spending a lot of time on their phones too, so making your businesss job postings available via mobile device is important.Beyond assisting with branding, your website aids in the recruiting and hiring process.Click To TweetYour companys website should be optimized for smartphones and tablets, and it shou ld be easy to apply for a job on these devices. If youre trusting that the person will see the job and then remember to apply when they get home to their laptop or desktop, you run the risk of losing qualified candidates simply because they forgot about the opportunity.The pros Mobile recruiting makes it possible for candidates to apply to a position from anywhere at any time. Long wait at the doctors office? Apply for a job. Bored on the train ride home? Submit your resume.This type of recruiting also makes a job appealing for a passive candidate. They may have the time to fill out a paper application or wont remember to visit the link when they get back to their laptop, but can sit and apply on their phone during a lunch break.The cons The mobile process needs to be highly turn-key or youll lose potential applicants. While smartphones make life a lot easier by making information readily available, some capabilities are more limited than when you have a laptop in front of you. Be a ware of this as youre situation up a mobile recruiting platform. If the platform is slow to load, would-be applicants will lose interest.Keep in mind, if youre asking applicants to type paragraph upon paragraph on a tiny keyboard, dont be surprised when the number of applications you get via this platform is few and far between. Make it easy for people to turn in applications on any device.Video interviewingBack when computer capabilities were limited, if a candidate wanted to interview for a job that wasnt in their home city, they were dependent on an impersonal phone-screening or they had to fly to that location in hopes of a job offer there was no guarantee of at such an early hiring stage. This was costly for the employer and time-consuming for the person applying.Now, video interviewing has completely changed that experience. An individual in Tokyo can apply for a job in Kansas and submit a video screening without worrying about time zones, airfare, or any other major schedulin g concerns.The pros Candidates can submit their answers at a time thats convenient for them, without having to try to sync up drastically different schedules with a hiring manager. This also cuts expenses for the business doing the hiring, as they dont have to fly a person in two or three times during the hiring process.The cons There are somefolks who believe this makes the hiring experience too impersonal. Keep in mind that some candidates prefer to gauge the atmosphere of the office right off the bat, instead of waiting for a second or third round interview to come in and get a feel for the culture and environment. So, consider showing applicants these elements through video clips and employee comments throughout the process.Questions to ask when implementing recruiting technologyRegardless of the kind of technology youre considering using, there are a few questions that all recruiters and hiring managers should think about in order to verify that these tools are serving the bran d properly. These includeIs it easy for candidates to use this piece of recruiting technology?If the system works perfectly for the person conducting the interviews but is a nightmare for the one applying for the job, youll want to consider whether its worth implementing at all. Cumbersome, counter-intuitive technology can lower the number of applications you receive, as interested individuals dont have the time or patience to fight the technology in order to submit their materials.Confusing platforms will also completely destroy any shot you have at getting passive candidates to apply. They werent desperate for a new job anyway, but if they see the process is frustrating, then theyll definitely pass. Therefore, assess ease of use from both the hiring managers and the candidates point of view.Does it make the hiring process seem less human?Recruiting technology is highly useful when it comes to an expedited and organized hiring process. However, if you begin to rely on it too heavil y, the process can begin to feel impersonal. If everything from start to finish is composed of automated messages and video interviews, potential new team members might begin to wonder if you actually have real people working at your business.To offset this, consider making personal contact at several points throughout the process. You might want to pick up the phone and call the candidates to invite them in for a second round interview, or perhaps send a personalized elektronischer brief to explain that youre inviting them to do a video interview. It seems small, but straying away from computer-generated content every so often adds warmth and personality, helping to illustrate what your brand is all about.Does this technology enable us to get a full picture of this individual?While recruiting technology makes life much easier for a hiring manager looking to add to their team, there are some things it simply cant replace. Technology isnt always totally adept at replicating human int eractions. For example, when you bring someone in for an in-person interview, youre able to gauge their body language and tone of voice in a much more powerful way than when theyre talking to you over Skype or a pre-recorded video interview.Without a face-to-face conversation, you also miss the ability to see how they engage with other people they might casually meet in the office. Do they warmly greet a receptionist or other employees to whom theyre introduced? Do they seem anxious to get out of there or behave like theyre comfortable in their surroundings?While tech makes life much easier for a hiring, it simply cant replace some things.Click To TweetThese small clues can often be telltale signs about how this individual would fit in should they receive a job offer from your business. Because of this, you shouldnt rely only on recruiting technology when youre looking to expand your team.How much training will it require?While you want to consider a candidates experience when youre deciding whether to implement a piece of technology into your hiring process, you should also consider the recruiter or hiring manager who will need to use the system as well. If the tool requires extensive training, when will this happen?If you have a busy season coming up, you need to build in time well in advance so that everyone is totally comfortable with the platform well before theyre buried in resumes and cover letters. Trying to fill open roles while struggling to remember how the new system works is a recipe for disaster. Before you implement any new tools, find out how user-friendly they are and how much time you should build in to get everyone on the team trained in the program.What does this say about our company values or culture?It may not seem like the way in which your business hires directly reflects what your brand stands for, but in reality, it speaks volumes. If your company is still soliciting paper resumes via snail mail, potential candidates might wonder if your brand is stuck in the 90s. In fact, you may lose out on great talent as these professionals seek employment opportunities with more forward-thinking brands.On the flip side, if you take all human contact out of the hiring process, a potential new hire might be left wondering whether your company really values teamwork and camaraderie. If you dont see the need for interpersonal connections as youre deciding whether someone is a good fit for an open role within your office, whos to say that you feel the need to communicate with the people you work with on any other day?You may be a business that relies heavily on e-mail, even with people sitting just a few doors down from you. This can result in miscommunication and a feeling of disconnect from employees. This is why the proper blend of recruiting technology and human-to-human interaction is so important when youre hiring.Recruiting technology can make the hiring process both easier and faster for hiring managers and job-seekers alike, however its important to carefully consider the tools being implemented. The right choices make adding a team member turnkey and well-organized, but dont take away the personal connection thats essential to the process. Its also important to remember that recruiting technology should serve as a complement and not a total replacement to the human interaction traditionally found in hiring.How are you using recruiting technology to enhance your hiring process?

These are the 15 dietary factors that contribute to high mortality rates

These are the 15 dietary factors that contribute to high mortality ratesThese are the 15 dietary factors that contribute to high mortality ratesAccording to a recent study funded by The Bill And Melinda Gates Foundationandpublished in The Lancet,the things we arent eating are contributing significantly to mortality statistics.The peer-reviewed study examines 15 dietary health risks of 195 countries, by analyzing the global burden of disease study that presented data collected from the years 1990 to 2017. The dietary risk factors featured in the study include high sodium intake, low whole grains intake, low fruit intake, low nuts and seeds intake, low omega-3 intake, low vegetable intake, low fiber intake , low PUFA intake, low legumes intake, low calcium intake, low milk intake, high trans fat intake, high sweetened beverages consumption, high red meat, and high processed meat intake.Follow Ladders on FlipboardFollow Ladders magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Jo b Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and moreRoughly 11 million deaths (one in five) can be linked to unhealthy diets, particularly ones lacking whole grains, fruits, nuts, and milk. The study reports, High intake of sodium, low intake of whole grains ( and low intake of fruits (2 million were the leading dietary risk factors for deaths and DALYs globally and in many countries.Too much red meat and not enough whole grainsAlarmingly, these dietary risk factors are responsible for more deaths than smoking. The popularity of red andprocessed meats and soft drinks additionally contributes to the morbid statistics statistics segmented by 10 million cardiovascular-related deaths, 913,00 deaths from cancer and339,000 deaths caused by type 2 diabetes. Sixty-six percent of disabilities were informed by these three factors.In the days since the studys publication, the authors seem quick to stress the salient role that the foods we arent eating are playing in surging these mortality rates. Yesterday the studys lead author, Ashkan Afshinhad this to say about the fundamental flaws in many of ur diets. While traditionally all the conversation about healthy diet has been focused on lowering the intake of unhealthy food, in this study, we have shown that, at the population level, a low intake of healthy foods is the more important factor, rather than the high intake of unhealthy foods.According to Afshin,The Lancets recent study is the most comprehensive study ever conducted on the health effects of diet.In the USa lack of whole grains proved to be the biggest risk factor. Unfortunately, many products that advertise whole grain in America are misleading. Whole grains found in foods that are super processed are typically milled down considerably and are in company with a lot of sodium and free sugars. True whole grains contain much more antioxidants and phytochemicals than refined grain.The best way to identify true whole grain products is to be on the lookout for the Whole Grain Cou ncils whole grain stamp, which is only awarded to products that contain at least 8 grams of whole grains. Additionally, a product can only be FDA approved if it contains 51% whole grain ingredients.You might also enjoyNew neuroscience reveals 4 rituals that will make you happyStrangers know your social class in the first seven words you say, study finds10 lessons from Benjamin Franklins daily schedule that will ersatzdarsteller your productivityThe worst mistakes you can make in an interview, according to 12 CEOs10 habits of mentally strong people

4 Ways Partnerships Can Benefit Your Organization More Than You Even Knew

4 Ways Partnerships Can Benefit Your Organization More Than You Even Knew4 Ways Partnerships Can Benefit Your Organization More Than You Even KnewOne of the things I love about working in nonprofits is the sense of camaraderie in the field. Regardless of each organizations area of focus, we are all trying to do good work and contribute to the common good in our own ways. So its an even greater pleasure when we realize that we can work together on a project.Partnerships are a frequent occurrence in the nonprofit world and are often encouraged by funders. For instance, an art project for children and an after-school program would work together beautifully. The art project doesnt have to figure out where to hold classes or how to find interested kids, and the after-school program gains an enriching activity led by qualified staff. The benefits are obvious more and better work for the same or lower cost.While a partnership will only last for a limited time on a discrete project, the posi tive effects of a good partnership can last for much longer- and can be extremely advantageous. Below are four ways to ensure that your partnership improves your organization for the long term.1. Increase Your FundingIn my experience, the organization with the larger finance and development departments is the one that takes care of the project funding and distribution of money. However, if you represent the smaller organization, dont be too quick to abdicate those responsibilities- which can actually be opportunities to learn, gain experience, and expand your network- entirely. For example, if your partner organization has a lot of clout with big foundations, make sure that you are involved in all meetings and proposals to ensure that you are able to make connections that could lead to independent grants down the line. Also, think about how the partner project will look to funders in the future. Even if they arent able to fund this particular partnership, how is the project adding t o your credibility? How can the project allow you to pitch your work in a different way or at a different level? For instance, a grassroots community organization can get a huge boost in prestige by working with a university research department that proves that its approach is effective in reducing crime or increasing school attendance. Brainstorm these questions with your development staff as you are considering new partnership opportunities to see how these alliances could benefit you even more in the future. 2. Build Your CapacityA partnership isnt about sharing work- its about sharing resources. When you initially sign up for a partnership, you might focus on the project-specific resources you will share, such as research, access to a new population, or communications skills, but you can actually learn much more. Partnerships put you in close contact with another organization very similar to yours, giving you the opportunity to observe how it structures its departments, treats i ts staff, and conducts fundraising. Moreover, thanks to the extra resources you have because of that partnership , you should have extra time in your day to actually implement any changes you want to make. 3. Offer Your Staff New OpportunitiesBecause of consistent under-staffing in nonprofits, especially in administrative roles, junior staff can often be overburdened with grunt work rather than opportunities to work their way up the ladder at your organization. So, as you start to sketch out your partnership, think of ways you can use that alliance to help less experienced employees lead and learn. Involve them in conference calls and meetings, and show your partners how much you respect your colleagues by listening to them and seriously considering their suggestions. Not only will that take some of the day-to-day pressure from your established leadership team, your junior staff will appreciate the trust you place in them and be more motivated in their other work. 4. Carve Out Your IdentityIf you have been struggling with branding and identity, a partnership can be a good way to differentiate yourself within the field. For instance, maybe youre part of an elder care facility partnering with a nutritional research firm. Your partner provides rigorous data analysis and recommendations that allow service providers to improve health outcomes for their clients- and so, because of that partnership, you might find that rather than being just another nursing home, you can position yourself as an expert in the overlapping issues of diet, health, and age, and offer comprehensive services to ensure active later years. Nonprofits can get so busy with the problems right in front of us that we forget to see the long-term potential benefits. Dont let that happen with your partnerships By investing your time in building good relationships with your partners now, you can make them pay off for years to come.
