Legging Up Your CompetitionLet’s face it. When you graduate from college you need an edge over the competition, right? Every year thousands of college students just like you enter the job market looking for the same thing you are, a job / career. Since that is the case you need something other than a paper degree to get your first job.Here are a few suggestions you can do while you are still in school:Project-based experienceMany schools give their students an opportunity to work with a local organization related to your field on a project the company needs help on. For many of these companies they are viewing this student help in the same manner they would if a consultant were to come in and help them with this project.There are some regional organizations around the country like the Pittsburgh Technology Council who organize formal programs for students and companies t

What happens when complacency replaces commitment in the workplace? More and more managers are facing an army of workers who have lost their sense of loyalty, enthusiasm, and motivation. While resignation is the next logical step, these employees have not quit their jobs technically but merely go through the motions, leaving managers with workers who do the minimum required but continue to collect a salary and benefits. In the arena of small and mid-sized business this drain can mean lower profits, compromised productivity, substandard customer service, and contamination of an entire labor pool. These workers have come to be known as “disengaged workers” by Human Resource professionals.Disengaged workers can mean life or death to a small business that is dependent on their employees to generate the goodwill among customers vital to survive in a competitive environment. Managers who find themselves

One of my friends came to Las Vegas last week to visit and relax a bit. He and I went out and checked out some of the local bands. During the course of the evening, he brought up some issues about his current job situation. After some introductory words, we discussed the issue that he seems to get blamed for some of the stupidest things, that he never did, and no one takes him seriously anymore. Then, he cracked some joke about it and we carried on.
Not being taken seriously by your peers is actually a common problem with people who do have a sense of humor. But, funny has no place in the workplace and can easily wreak havoc on an otherwise blossoming career.

1.0 A timely reminderIn a recent decision in a New South Wales court it was found that an employee was psychologically injured and that contributing factors such as not having a job description and controlling management behaviours were responsible. The employee was subsequently awarded $500,000.00 for psychological injury.Not having a clear job description can lead to significant expense, declining morale and uncertainty. In this is the case, you the employer is the party that will be penalised and the courts’ will not display leniency for ignorance or busyness.2.0 The Job descriptionA job is a collection of tasks and responsibilities that an employee is responsible to conduct. Job descriptions are lists of the general tasks and responsibilities of a position.Typically, they also include to whom the position reports, specifications such as the key responsibilities and quali

The key is to job hunt smarter not harder. There is no point spending all day applying to over 50 companies and get so frustrated at the end of the day because non of the employers have responded to your applications.Don't join the rat race. Many are called but few are chosen. Why join the many when you can be among the few chosen ones without joining the crowd.A bird at hand is better than 10,000 in the forest. You can always use that one bird to catch the many thousands in the forest because birds of the same feather flock together.The same applies to the job market. Why apply for the thousands of jobs on job boards when you can use a contact person to attract or be introduced to many other key contacts that could help you attain the job you are looking for.For example, if you want to start a career in project management, start networking among your friends. There must be someone

Of course, laughter is necessary in life. But, in a professional setting, it becomes a different type of laughter. One situation you will encounter as you move through your career is the seriousness of professionalism. Of course, to some, this is not a problem. But, to those that have a funny bone, this is a big problem and a detriment to one's career.
You have to realize that when your boss asks if you have a sense of humor, he's not asking if you're a clown. What he is asking is whether or not you can accept criticism, deal with difficult people, and gracefully handle mistakes without snapping people's heads off when things get stressful. It is important and considered professional to be able to take criticism lightly as it is sometimes used as a tool of 'turf wars' than an actual personal attack.
