Eker explains this by using the lowongan analogy of the thermostat. If you set a thermostat to 72 degrees, the room will, of course, become that temperature. But what happens when you open a window? The temperature lowongan will drop or increase depending on what the temperature is outside. However, as soon as you close the lowongan window, the temperature goes back to 72 degrees. The only way to permanently change the lowongan temperature of that room is to change the settings on that thermostat. Our success blueprint is our own thermostat. If we have it set low, we shouldn't expect things to get better. Some external lowongan circumstances may bring temporary successes but long term accomplishment depends on our own internal settings.

T. Harv Eker, in his best-selling book about lowongan, Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, says that a person's level of lowongan success has more to do with their own subconscious blueprints of lowongan than anything else. If a person's financial blueprint is to only make $30,000 then more than likely that's where their salary will stay. So, if a salesperson's blueprint is set for $30,000 and he has an exceptional year where he ends up making $60,000, guess what? - he'll probably have a less than spectacular lowongan of performance the following year because his subconscious is working to get him back in line with his financial lowongan of blueprint.

Have you ever noticed that there are some people who appear to be successful in just about everything they undertake? It seems that whatever lowongan business opportunity they touch turns to gold. Then, on the lowongan opposite end of the spectrum there are those who attempt many of the same opportunities and never seem to get off the ground.
Here's an interesting revelation - It really has nothing to do with a person's lowongan career choice, their business skills and knowledge, or their timing in the lowongan marketplace. These are all external factors that have little relevance. There are plenty of rich lowongan doctors and lawyers today. But you'll also find plenty of lowongan doctors and lowongan lawyers who are just getting by financially. There are sales professionals who earn $300,000 while others earn $30,000.

An Actor's Confessions Of Why .Info Is Better For His Career

Lowongan | An Actor's Confessions Of Why .Info Is Better For His Career
Lowongan Kerja Online :: In 2002, a new top level domain extension called .info became available for people to register with no restrictions. This new domain option opened a whole new avenue for individuals who lost out in the .com registration process and had their desired name already taken by someone else. According of lowongan to a press release issued by the Afilias, an organization of lowongan that provides global registry services for the .info extension, .info has recently surpassed 1,000,000 registrations since it's inception just over a year ago. The movement of lowongan of the .info domain into the mainstream has been illustrated by companies using the extension for ad campaigns and by individuals using the domain for personal use. These individuals of lowongan , often looking for a more fitting .com alternative, are also using the easy-to-remember .info names.

A more than fitting illustration of the .info creative versatility is Jeremy Robinson, who is using a .info domain name to break into the acting industry and one day fulfill his dream of acting on Broadway. As an actor, Jeremy has made numerous acting appearances in theater including West Side Story of lowongan , A Midsummer Night's Dream, Godspell, and Fiddler on the Roof. He has firsthand experience knowing that a .info domain name of lowongan has the power to be an effective marketing tool when used in the right way.
DomainPurpose.com asked Jeremy Robinson a few questions about his new .info domain name. Here is what he had to say:

DomainPurpose.com: Can you tell us a little about yourself?
Jeremy Robinson: I have many years experience in the acting industry mostly involving theatre. I recently graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Musical Theatre of lowongan from The Hartt School, a music conservatory in Hartford Connecticut . I am currently living in the New York City area to pursue my acting career, and I guess you'd call me a starving artist, going back and forth to auditions, waiting for that "big break". I aspire to be on Broadway one day so I can experience my passion for acting.

DomainPurpose.com: Can you tell us about your domain name?
Jeremy Robinson: My domain name is JeremyRobinson.info. I use my .info domain name on my resume and as an electronic portfolio so agency's and casting departments can contact me, learn about my acting talent, and view my headshots. JeremyRobinson.info enables me to give 24/7 access to casting departments who are looking for the acting talent and image that I possess.

DomainPurpose.com: How did you think of this idea?
Jeremy Robinson: I didn't really think of using a domain name of lowongan and web site as a way to promote of lowongan of my acting career until I came across DomainPurpose.com. They gave me the idea to use a domain name as a tool to further my acting career. DomainPurpose.com inspired me to put my passion for acting on the Internet in the form of a web site and share my talents with an online audience.

DomainPurpose.com: Can you share with us any obstacles you overcame while registering your domain?

Jeremy Robinson: Being that .com is the most popular and most known domain name extension, I originally wanted to register JeremyRobinson.com, but it wasn't available of lowongan . When my first domain search returned the disappointing news, I had to figure a way to keep my full name of lowongan and brand intact. After learning more about what .info had to offer, I chose the best alternative to .com and registered a .info domain.

DomainPurpose.com: When did you realize that promoting your acting career via a .info domain could turn into a successful marketing tool?

Jeremy Robinson: I realized that using a .info domain would be an effective marketing tool when I started to understand the meaning behind the domain extension. I didn't want casting departments and other people to think I was trying to sell myself to them, so using .info gives the impression of lowongan I'm looking to give. So now when I give my web address out to casting departments of lowongan they know that JeremyRobinson.info is the place to go to find out more information about me and my acting talents.

DomainPurpose.com: As a successful .info domain name owner, do you have any words of advice for others who are thinking about using a .info domain name as a marketing tool to help promote themselves?

Jeremy Robinson: A .info domain name is the perfect domain extension for people who want to find information about you and what you have to offer. Don't get discouraged of lowongan if your .com name is already registered. Instead of being discouraged, rework your domain strategy of lowongan by using the next best thing, a .info domain! It worked for me! ***

Mysteries of Syndrome X Revealed

Lowongan | Mysteries of Syndrome X Revealed
Lowongan Kerja Online :: I ve put on 40 pounds in one year! It doesn t matter how much I workout, I can t lose weight. My lowongan doctor must think I m eating pizzas in the closet. With nearly 4 million Americans lowongan weighing in at over 300 pounds, is it any wonder the above cries are heard each and every day by countless frustrated people lowongan who can t lose weight? One such cause for the ever increasing need to buy larger pants is a disease known as Syndrome X.

Syndrome X is also referred to as Metabolic Syndrome, Metabolic Syndrome X and Insulin Resistance. It is a very common disease; however it is widely overlooked by many medical professionals. One statistic reveals 1 in 3 people suffer from it. This lowongan syndrome is a precursor to developing Diabetes Type 2. Sufferers have a high level of insulin. Their bodies are unable to process all the insulin that is being made from their diet. As a result, they become insulin resistant.

Think of it like this: You knock on someone s door because you want to come in. If they don t answer, what normally happens? You knock again, right? Sometimes you may even knock a third time, trying to gain entry. Insulin works in the same manner of lowongan . The pancreas produces insulin (knock). Some foods cause the body to produce even higher levels of insulin (knock again). Once you become insulin resistant, develop Syndrome X, the body of lowongan is unable to properly process the glucose, therefore the pancreas tries to make up for it by producing even more insulin. It thinks no one is home and just keeps making more.

The main purpose of glucose is to be used as fuel for the cells in the body to produce lowongan energy. Unprocessed glucose translates into fat. If the body keeps making it and it s not being processed, where does it go? Hips, thighs, stomach, and buttocks, that s where! In addition to hypertension and heart disease, elevated insulin may be associated with weight gain and difficulty with weight loss, other blood sugar problems such as hypoglycemia of lowongan , and some menstrual related imbalances.

Genetics is partially responsible for causing this disease. More likely though is lifestyle. In many cases years of high starch, processed foods of lowongan , simple sugars, lack of exercise, smoking, and increased stress may be the culprit for Metabolic Syndrome X.

Now what? For starters, start exercising today. Increase water intake and totally omit starches, sugars, processed foods from your diet. Limit or omit caffeine. Try to maintain at least one third of your daily food intake to vegetables. Ask your doctor to test your sugar levels. Change what you re eating and get walking and you ll be amazed at the pounds start to fall off. The fatigue and fuzziness will start to disappear and in turn you ll feel much better. The information of lowongan contained in this article is for educational purposes only and is not intended to medically diagnose, treat or cure any disease. Consult a health care practitioner before beginning any health care program. ***

Buka Lowongan Kerja, Butuh Keberanian Menjadi Wirausaha

Buka Lowongan Kerja, Butuh Keberanian Menjadi Wirausaha
Untuk menumbuhkan jiwa wirausaha dibutuhkan keberanian untuk memulai. Dan yang terpenting adalah merubah pola pikir tentang kewirausahaan itu sendiri. Dalam hal ini, dibutuhkan peran aktif dan dukungan dari keluarga, lingkungan, pemerintah, termasuk korporat. Berikut wawancara dengan President Director Entrepreneur College yang juga owner & founder Country Donuts, A Khoerussalim Ikhs.

Apa urgensinya menumbuhkan jiwa kewirausahaan saat ini?
Ini sudah sangat mendesak dan darurat. Kini, jumlah masyarakat miskin di Indonesia 49 juta orang. Jumlah pengangguran yang benar-benar tidak punya pekerjaan sebanyak 12 juta orang.
Mengapa mereka bisa miskin? Dan mengapa mereka bisa tidak memiliki pekerjaan? Jawabannya karena tidak ada yang menyerap mereka.

Lowongan kerja yang ada sangat sedikit. Padahal gelombang tenaga kerja baru akan terus bermunculan. Ini berarti akan terus menambah jumlah pengangguran yang ada.
Lalu mengapa 49 juta orang jadi miskin? Ini karena pilihan hidup mereka. Sebab mereka hanya ingin jadi pegawai negeri sipil (PNS) dan karyawan. Dengan menjadi karyawan, maka mereka akan diatur kehidupan dan finansialnya. Mereka kemudian hanya menunggu dan menunggu sampai ada lowongan kerja yang dibuka.
Jadi, menurut saya, saat ini sudah sangat mendesak untuk menumbuhkan jiwa dan semangat kewirausahaan. Dan ini menjadi tanggung jawab seluruh komponen bangsa untuk memikirkannya. Saya di Entrepreneur College peduli untuk menciptakan para pengusaha.

Bagaimana tanggung jawab pemerintah dalam hal ini?
Pemerintah harus menciptakan sistem pemerintahan yang efisien dan efektif. Seluruh departemen, BUMN, koperasi, dunia usaha, juga punya kewajiban yang sama untuk melahirkan para pengusaha. Namun, yang ingin saya katakan, pengusaha kita selama ini kalah dengan orang asing. Sebab sumber daya para pengusaha kita kebanyakan tingkat pendidikannya rendah. Kebanyakan pengusaha kita adalah lulusan SD dan SMP. Jumlah lulusan SMP yang menjadi pengusaha sekitar 22 persen. Jadi kualitas mereka masih kurang. Hal ini berbeda jika yang menjadi pengusaha adalah para mahasiswa atau sarjana. Jika itu terjadi, maka kondisinya akan jauh lebih baik.

Sebenarnya apakah kendala yang terbesar untuk memulai wirausaha?
Kendala paling utama adalah blocking mental. Ketidakberanian, ketakutan, dan kekhawatiran untuk gagal dalam berusaha. Padahal usahanya saja belum dimulai tapi sudah muncul ketakutan semacam itu. Selain itu mind set sebagian besar masyarakat kita yang ingin jadi pekerja atau pegawai harus dirubah menjadi pengusaha. Mind set ini juga menjadi problem besar yang harus segera dibenahi. Namun untuk merubah mind set butuh energi yang sengat besar dan butuk dukungan dari keluarga dan lingkungan.

Banyak BUMN dan perusahaan yang mengadakan pelatihan wirausaha, tanggapan Anda?
Itu sangat bagus dan harus diteruskan. Tapi yang terpenting, masyarakat jangan hanya diberi ikan namun kailnya. Nah, perubahan mind set masyarakat harus dilakukan terlebih dahulu. Setelah itu, baru diberi wawasan tentang peluang usaha, bagaimana teknik pemasaran, bantuan permodalan, dan sebagainya.***

The Right Avenues for Lowongan Environmental Graduate

The increased interest in environmental protection and management in the past decade has caused a glut of environmental graduates in schools throughout the world. There are plenty of jobs available for environmental graduates though it takes a bit of imagination to find the right industries. A number of environmental services firms and consultancies exist in Europe though environmental graduate lowongan with these firms are highly competitive. Your interest in environmental lowongan should take you to several options before you send in your applications.

Legislative bodies and government agencies look for exceptional environmental graduates to provide support and advice on new legislation. These positions are limited in number but provide graduates an opportunity to influence fuel efficiency standards and waste management practices that affect millions. This path is advisable for graduates who want a career in public life including parliamentary representation and local politics.

Graduates who are interested in remaining in the private sector while dealing with regulatory aspects of environmental protection can work in corporate compliance departments. These departments hire entry level professionals to review corporate documents and provide regular reports to supervisors about the company's adherence to environmental regulations. A young professional who wants to pursue a legal career can use these experiences in law school as a way to narrow his focus.

The full range of environmental graduate lowongan is not limited to regulatory positions. Public and private organizations with an interest in the environment hire scientists and researchers to look at technical issues. Government agencies arrange for research services from private laboratories to study the issue of pollutant runoff into rivers. Retailers hire scientists to look at the impact of product components on human health as well as new ways to make products environmentally friendly.

A number of environmental graduate lowongan are available in the area of non-profit advocacy for professionals willing to take a salary hit. Environmental advocacy groups look for scientists to provide independent verification of reports by corporations about air, water and soil cleanliness. These positions are funded by donations, grants and other funds from parties interested in maintaining accountability. Many graduates who want to find work right out of school pursue work as a researcher, organizer or public advocate for the environment. The important factor for professionals who want to find the right environmental graduate jobs is to select a profession that balances personal ethics with long term professional goals.

How does this get determined in an interview?
1.By asking questions about what you have done and how you did it or decided it should be done. 2.By asking behavioral questions that will give an employer a sense of the scope of your experiences 3.By asking concrete questions to ascertain your knowledge 4.By observing your body language or physical response to questioning to observe whether it is consistent with a successful person.

Offenses like that, committed by men and women, often go unpunished. But sometimes a little cleavage can mean losing a job. Executive coach Barbara Greene says, "Whatever you're wearing, you're representing not only yourself but also the company."
Glick concludes that maintaining a professional appearance becomes even more important as workers climb the corporate ladder. Likewise Greene advises, "When you dress inappropriately, your authority is questioned and your credibility is questioned."
She concludes, "The closer to the chief executive you are, the more conservatively you should dress."
The same rules would apply to anyone preparing for a face-to-face interview or job search meeting. Your next employer has the expectation that you will present yourself consistent with the dress code of the organization you're interested in.
So, we recommend you take the time to find out what those expectations are. While no one may bring it to your attention, how you dress can make a big difference.

Men and women have to pay attention to how they dress on the job. If you don't, your job may be at risk.
According to the San Antonio Express News the sexier a woman dresses and the more prominent a position she holds, the more negatively she's perceived.
For men, it's slightly different. "What make men attractive to women--being industrious, ambitious, having a good job and a high status, being a powerful leader--are also the same traits that make them successful at work"
These conclusions were presented by researcher, Peter Glick, in Psychology of Women Quarterly.
For example, Glick found that sexy attire didn't hurt the receptionist's image. But the same clothes worn by a woman in management made her seem less competent and less intelligent.
Men can also dress too sexy for work. A shirt with too many open buttons showing cleavage might work great in a bar but not on the job.

But if we look into our own mirror, what do we see? The income of the middle class is declining in proportion to the rise of prices. The working poor fall below the poverty line even when working two minimum wage jobs. Large corporations like Walmart hire illegal immigrants so they can work without benefits nor regulatory protections. Franchise owners of fast food chains hire non-English speaking staff because paying a living wage would cut into their quarter of a million annual profits. Unscrupulous executives manipulate the supply and price of basic power and laugh at the little guy: "Burn, baby, burn."
And yet we are amazed that the rest of the world doesn't want to be totally like us. What's wrong with these people? (Might they have a better idea?)

=============================

Keeping up with inflation was the challenge of the 1970s. As prices rose, wages increased and the middle class trod water to keep their heads dry.
When we entered our recent recession, inflation was the least of our worries - we needed jobs, increased demand for goods to spur manufacturing, a sense of security, and faith that our hard work would be eventually rewarded. As corporate downsizing and the offshore job exodus continued, we learned to work harder and longer to keep our hard won status.
The economists and political pundits trumpeted the end of the tight economy and the expansion of manufacturing, housing, tourism. Sure, the jobs never came back on the scale predicted, but there was a degree of comfort in the slowdown of layoffs and restructuring. Beneath the rhetoric of tax cuts to jump start consumer spending and a housing market running amok on historically low interest rates, the quiet increase in personal bankruptcy filings and the working class slide into poverty was dismissed as a political "sour grapes" issue that had little bearing in a country intent on reorganizing the entire world as a mirror of itself.

Soft Skill untuk Menciptakan Entrepreneur

Soft Skill untuk Menciptakan Entrepreneur
Saat ini, persaingan kerja di masyarakat semakin ketat. Untuk itu, setiap masyarakat dituntut untuk memiliki kemampuan dan keterampilan yang lebih. Masyarakat juga dituntut untuk kreatif sehingga tidak hanya bergantung kepada suatu perusahaan, tapi juga mampu menciptakan usaha kerja sendiri. Tampaknya hal inilah yang dilihat oleh Sekolah Tinggi Ilmu Keuangan dan Perbankan Indonesia (Stekpi). Pada proses belajar mengajar, Stekpi tidak hanya memberikan kemampuan dalam hal akademis (hard skill) saja. Mata kuliah seperti Manajemen, Pemasaran, dan keuangan tetap diberikan. Ditambah juga dengan materi pendidikan yang mampu melatih kemampuan pengembangan pribadi (soft skill) mahasiswa.

"Dengan soft skill, mahasiswa diharapkan tidak hanya mampu menjadi seorang pekerja, namun juga mampu menciptakan usaha sendiri," jelas Ketua Stekpi Tony B Trihartanto, Ph D. Penggunaan kurikulum yang memasukkan soft skill ke dalamnya, mulai diterapkan sejak tahun 2005 dan merupakan hasil survei dan juga masukkan dari dunia kerja. Dikatakan, dalam merancang kurikulum ini, Stekpi berdiskusi dan bekerja sama dengan pelaku sektor riil dan juga alumni. Asosiasi profesi seperti asosiasi akuntan, pemasaran, dan pengelola keuangan juga turut dilibatkan. "Dengan begitu kami mengerti kemauan pasar akan tenaga kerja seperti apa. Sehingga kami dapat merancang dan mengimplementasikannya ke dalam mata kuliah," jelas Tony.

Dari 45 jumlah mata kuliah yang diberikan kepada mahasiswa, sembilannya merupakan mata kuliah soft skill. Yang meliputi mata kuliah Kewirausahaan dan Teknik Presentasi Persuasif yang diberikan pada semester pertama. Kemudian mata kuliah Kebugaran dan Apresiasi Seni dan mata kuliah Kepemimpinan yang diberikan pada semester kedua. Mata kuliah Komunikasi Bisnis yang diberikan pada mata semester ketiga. Mata kuliah Pengalaman Bisnis Terpadu dan Pengambilan Keputusan dan Negosiasi pada semester kelima. Serta mata kuliah Citra Diri dan Motivasi, dan Pengalaman Bisnis Terpadu lanjutan pada semester keenam. Untuk itu, diharapkan mahasiswa dapat membuat suatu proyek usaha yang bankable. Yaitu usaha yang layak dan dapat dijalankan sehingga dapat diberikan kredit dari bank.

Kurikulum ini telah berjalan selama dua tahun, namun diakui bahwa hasil dari kurikulum tersebut sudah terlihat. Semakin banyak mahasiswa yang berani melakukan debat, berani mengungkapkan pikiran dan berbicara. Selain itu, mahasiswa juga dinilai lebih aktif, baik dalam kegiatan ekstrakulikuler maupun kegiatan di luar kampus.

Tony menambahkan, bahkan ada mahasiswa yang menjual kue dan mukena kepada teman-teman kuliahnya. Namun, Tony mengaku, bukan berarti seluruh mahasiswa Stekpi diarahkan untuk menjadi pengusaha. Karena selain menciptakan pengusaha, tujuan pendidikan Stekpi juga adalah menciptakan profesional yang ahli dalam bidang kerjanya. Pemberian soft skill ini lebih kepada memberikan alternatif lain kepada mahasiswa akan jalur karir yang dapat dipilih ketika ia lulus," jelasnya. Dalam memberikan materi soft skill, tidak hanya dilakukan di dalam kelas saja. Namun juga terkadang dilakukan di luar kelas, seperti kunjungan ke perusahaan-perusahaan hingga melakukan outbond. Bahkan juga digunakan video sebagai alat bantuan agar mahasiswa dapat lebih memahami materi yang diberikan.

Hal lain yang menjadi perbedaan kurikulum yang digunakan Stekpi dengan kurikulum yang digunakan perguruan tinggi lain adalah adanya pembatasan waktu perkuliahan. Setiap perkuliahan hanya dilakukan dalam waktu 75 menit. Ini berdasarkan penelitian yang mengatakan bahwa kemampuan seseorang dalam berkonsentrasi hanya sekitar 60 menit. "Kami menggunakan 75 menit dengan perhitungan 15 menit digunakan dosen untuk melakukan adaptasi terhadap kelas," jelas Tony.

Menurut peraturan pemerintah dan internasional, 1 SKS sekitar 50 menit. Jadi, kalau perkuliahan 3 SKS yang seharusnya dijalani selama 150 menit, dibagi menjadi dua sesi. Di mana antara satu sesi dengan sesi selanjutnya dipisahkan istirahat selama 15 menit. Hal ini berlaku juga untuk perkuliahan dengan 2 SKS.

"Yang membedakan adalah jumlah pertemuannya. Untuk perkuliahan yang 3 SKS kami tambahkan sebanyak 3 x 75 menit pada bulan pertama perkuliahan," kata Tony. Dalam menjalankan perkuliahan, Stekpi mengutamakan disiplin, baik kepada mahasiswanya maupun kepada karyawan dan tenaga pengajar. Sebagai contoh, setiap dosen harus datang sebelum pukul 07.00. Atau sekitar 30 menit sebelum perkuliahan dimulai. Jika ada dosen yang terlambat atau tidak masuk tanpa tanpa keterangan maka pada semester depan, dosen tersebut tidak akan dipekerjakan lagi. Hal yang serupa berlaku bagi mahasiswa. Jika ada mahasiswa yang terlambat lebih dari lima menit, maka mahasiswa tersebut dianggap tidak masuk. Tony mengatakan, ini dilakukan karena dosen dan mahasiswa memiliki hak dan kewajiban yang lebih kurang sama.

Yang menarik adalah digunakannya CCTV di setiap kelas yang digunakan untuk mengkontrol proses belajar mengajar di kelas. Bahkan, komputer yang ditempatkan di setiap kelas dapat dikontrol penggunaannya karena terintegrasi dengan komputer lainnya.***

Being the Candidate Recruiters Want to Talk To
Finding people through job sites can seem like a daunting task for many recruiters. If you reply to a recruiter's job listing on one of the popular job sites like Monster, HotJobs or CareerBuilder, chances are you'll be one of 200 or more people responding. Most recruiters will only look through the first 20 or so resumes. As we've mentioned in previous articles, one way to distinguish yourself when replying to a job ad is to use a unique and catchy subject for the email message.

HOW RECRUITERS SEARCH FOR CANDIDATES

Another way to increase your odds of being selected by a recruiter, which can be even more powerful, is by taking steps to increase the chances your resume will be found when recruiters search the job sites. The best way to do this is to optimize your resume for keywords recruiters might be searching for. Because there are so many resumes on the job sites, many recruiters use complex boolean search strings to try to find someone who matches the job description they're trying to fill.

Just as an example, let's say the job the recruiter is trying to fill calls for an administrative assistant who can write letters, edit spreadsheets and handle email and scheduling. The recruiter might search for "Word and Excel and Outlook and administrative assistant." The resume that will come up first will probably be the one that mentions those 4 things the most. Guess what happens to an administrative assistant who knows Outlook but didn't mention it on his/her resume? They wouldn't even come up in the search. Especially during an economic downturn, many companies ask recruiters to find people who can essentially handle the tasks of what might have previously been more than one position. So the recruiter may be looking for someone who primarily has one set of skills, but who also has another set of skills that most people with the first skillset don't have.

Many recruiters and HR people are not familiar enough with the positions they recruit for to know that the skill combination the company's seeking is unlikely to exist in a single person. So they take on the task of searching for someone with the wide range of skills the hiring manager is seeking. When they find someone who mentions all the skills on their resume and whose current and prior job titles fit with the job they're trying to fill, they're excited and eager to recruit that person! This puts you, the job candidate, in a much better position than being one of several hundred people replying to a job listing.

BEING THE CANDIDATE THE RECRUITER CAN'T WAIT TO TALK TO

When your resume is one of the few that come up in a recruiter's search for resumes, you become the prize the recruiter wants to win. This is the reverse of the scenario you find yourself in when you reply to a job ad - in that case, the job is the prize. You gain significant power by being the customer the recruiter wants to sell the job to. Here are some tips for structuring your resume so recruiters will find you in searches and then want to offer you the job:

1. Your primary skills should be mentioned several times in your resume, and in different ways. For example, if you're an attorney, you should use that word several times in your resume as well as the word "lawyer."

2. Even if you only used a particular skill briefly (like for only 3-6 months), mention it on your resume. If you learned about a certain technique in a continuing education course, that can be mentioned on your resume. Of course you should make clear in the text of your resume what specific, albeit limited, experience you have with the skill. A company would rather hire someone who has some exposure to a skill than none at all, and by mentioning the skill you increase the chances you'll be found in the recruiter's search for resumes.

3. Your previous job titles need to be congruent with the type of job you're seeking. If you're looking for a job as an Administrative Assistant, it would probably be better to have "Administrative Assistant" listed as your current job title than "Office Manager." There are fewer office manager jobs than admin assistant jobs available, and you don't want the recruiter to think you're overqualified when they look at your current and previous job titles.

4. Make sure your resume has been checked for spelling and grammar errors. Use the spell check in Microsoft Word. Have someone who's a good writer review your resume for grammatical errors.

5. Make it easy for someone to skim your resume quickly. If you have a lot of different skills, having a section where your skills are listed with bullet points can make it easy for the recruiter to see at a glance that you have the skills they're looking for. ***

Rajin Bekerja, Cegah Alzheimer

Rajin Bekerja, Cegah Alzheimer
Rajin bekerja terbukti banyak manfaatnya. Tak cuma mendatangkan uang, rajin bekerja juga bisa menjauhkan Anda dari penyakit alzheimer. Studi yang dilakukan para ahli dari Case Western Reserve University, Ohio, Amerika Serikat, menyimpulkan, orang-orang yang memiliki pekerjaan dengan tuntutan mental lebih tinggi, berisiko lebih kecil untuk mengidap penyakit Alzheimer di kemudian hari. Para peneliti telah melakukan pemeriksaan terhadap 357 orang yang berusia lebih dari 60 tahun.

Dari jumlah tersebut, 122 diantaranya menderita alzheimer. Para peneliti melihat catatan kerja mereka pada saat mereka berada di rentang usia 20-50 tahun. Ternyata, mereka yang mengidap alzheimer, umumnya memiliki karir dengan tuntutan mental yang rendah. Dr Kathleen Smyth, salah seorang peneliti, mengatakan, pekerjaan dengan tuntutan mental tinggi bisa meningkatkan aktivitas otak. ''Aktivitas ini dapat membantu memelihara cadangan sel-sel otak sehingga mampu mencegah terjadinya penyakit alzheimer,'' ungkap Kathleen.

Ini bukan penelitian pertama yang menyatakan bahwa menjaga otak tetap aktif bisa melindungi diri dari alzheimer. Tahun lalu, sebuah penelitian menyimpulkan bahwa menari, bermain alat musik, membaca, dan bermain catur dapat mengurangi risiko berkembangnya penyakit ini.

Strategi Pemasaran Jitu

Untuk menjadi pemasar andal, konsep diri yang tepat dan jelas bakal sangat membantu kinerja sehari-hari. Berikut ini tips singkat:

1. Siapkan perencanaan yang matang.

2. Tingkatkan pengetahuan tentang produk yang akan dijual.

3. Carilah pembeli potensial dari berbagai sumber dan temukan sumber-sumber baru untuk memperoleh pembeli potensial.

4. Selalu tinjau kegiatan Anda sehari-hari dan siapkan perencanaan esok hari.

5. Lakukan promosi sebagai umpan.***

How To Make Your Job Easier
The techies could do a lot more to make our life at work easier and more pleasant.
Take the telephone, for example. I don't know about you, but there are several things that bug me about talking on one of these confounded instruments. First of all, there are those long-winded conversations. Personally, I would like to see a device installed on all telephones whereby any business call that lasts over 10 minutes is cut off unless the person on the receiving end punches a default button. The person who had placed the call originally would have to pay triple rates for replacing the call.

Another thing, any time there is a dead silence on the line for more than 45 seconds, the machine would automatically hang up and the same rule for a recall stated above would go into effect. It would be helpful to have a pocket-sized instrument that deactivates the telephone in the office of a prospect when one is poised to make the final sales pitch.

Techies Could Improve Meetings

The techies could do a lot to improve meetings.
To begin with, I would suggest that something like a vaporizer be placed in all conference rooms. The machine would be activated by specific occurrences to emit an invisible fog of an odorless chemical appropriate for the need. One such chemical would be silently spread about the room when any presentation lasts longer than 12 minutes, without interruption. It would cause the brains of the listeners to switch off the rambling of the presenter and automatically tune over to contemplate a day in spring, a favorite fishing hole or some other pleasantry. Of course, it would have to work so that the eyes of the audience would appear to be bright and focused as if they were intently interested.

The same effect would result when anyone declares they want to ask a question and then make a self-serving statement lasting more than three minutes. Oh, yes, the invisible fog would also cause a splitting headache for persons who commit any one of the following transgressions:

Hear an idea for the first time and immediately launch into a knee-jerk explanation of why it won't work.

Carry on a loud side conversation while the chairman is trying to conduct the business of the meeting.

Refuse to get serious when serious business is being discussed.

Stray from the stated subject under discussion more than twice in any meeting. Another helpful thing would be a tiny pill that one could take during meetings which would allow one to go to sleep, with eyes open and neck and shoulders upright.

The techies could help with etiquette at work, too.

I am sure a device could be invented that would cause a raucous ringing in the ears of anyone who fails to say "thank you" for a favor or a job well done. It would also work on anyone who takes credit for someone else's' work. Those who habitually walk into another person's office when he or she is on the telephone, sits down, picks up a magazine and acts as if they are not listening would hear the same unpleasant sound. I would also like some little instrument that would cause extreme discomfort to people who read things on other people's desks, even if they are reading them upside down.

We also need a lot of tech help with travel on airplanes.

It would be nice to have a device to spray dye on any piece of luggage that is placed on top of another person's carefully folded coat in the overhead compartment. I am sure there would be a market for a chemical that one would apply to his clothing that would cause seatmates to suffer uncomfortable eyestrain if they try to read one's papers. The same spray would cause seatmates to have a mild case of lockjaw if they repeatedly attempt to strike up unwanted conversations.

Some of these helpful gadgets might seem a bit far-fetched at first glance, but they probably could be created if there is enough demand for them. Now's the time to speak up. ***

Copywriter, Sang Pembuat Naskah Iklan

Copywriter, Sang Pembuat Naskah Iklan
Copywriter. Anda pernah mendengar istilah itu? Copywriter itu penulis naskah. Kalau dalam bahasa Indonesia, kata copy-kan dapat diartikan naskah,'' ucap Wiharto yang menggeluti dunia copywriter sejak tahun 1997-an.

Seorang copywriter memiliki tugas membuat naskah-naskah dialog pada iklan televisi atau radio. Mereka pula yang mengonsep kata-kata yang tercetak unik pada iklan media cetak. Memang, profesi ini agak kurang dikenal di kalangan masyarakat awam. Mungkin istilahnya itu. Namun, boleh juga dianggap, copywriter kurang umum akibat ketiadaan lembaga pendidikan yang melahirkannya secara khusus. ''Setahu saya, belum ada lembaga pendidikan yang membuka kelas khusus copywriter,'' ucap Wiharto. ''Para copywriter itu sendiri biasanya berasal dari lulusan ilmu komunikasi.''

Selama ini kebanyakan copywriter berasal dari lulusan jurnalistik atau advertising. ''Dari sana, mereka mendapatkan dasar-dasar komunikasi, tapi tidak memperoleh dasar praktisnya,'' ucap lelaki lulusan jurusan ilmu komunikasi Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM), Yogyakarta, ini. Kemampuan komunikasi menjadi sangat penting bagi seseorang yang ingin berprofesi sebagai copywriter. Pasalnya, ucap Wiharto, seorang copywriter dituntut untuk mampu menuangkan ide-ide dalam bentuk tulisan atau kata-kata. Untuk itu mereka mesti mampu mengomunikasikan sejumlah ide dalam bentuk kata atau dialog yang termuat pada sebuah iklan.

Ada jenjang karir yang lumayan panjang pada profesi ini. Seorang copywriter pemula biasanya diistilahkan sebagai junior copywriter. Kira-kira 1,5 tahun kemudian mereka dapat masuk ke jenjang berikutnya, yakni berhak menyandang sebutan copywriter. Dalam rentang waktu yang sama, seorang copywriter dapat diangkat menjadi senior copywriter. ''Lalu, jenjang berikutnya adalah head creative yang berwenang dalam masalah konsep,'' ucap Wiharto yang kini menduduki posisi head creative di Inad Agency.

Untuk menjadi copywriter handal, seseorang membutuhkan minimal waktu selama tiga tahun. Selama kurun waktu tersebut, mereka dituntut mampu menorehkan ide pada iklan sebuah produk. Mereka juga harus menguasai produk yang akan diiklan, memahami perasaan psikologis pelanggan, dan mampu membaca keunikan produk saingan. ''Semakin banyak beban pekerjaan, seorang copywriter akan semakin mahir,'' ucap lelaki usia 32 tahun itu.

Lalu, di mana para copywriter bekerja? Copywriter dapat bekerja di perusahaan-perusahaan pembuat iklan. Mereka dapat pula bekerja pada perusahaan yang bergerak dalam bidang website. ''Atau bekerja pada divisi promosi di berbagai perusahaan,'' tambah Wiharto. Gaji seorang copywriter cukup besar. Seorang copywriter yang masih yunior dapat memperoleh gaji sebesar Rp 1,5 juta per bulan. Sementara itu seorang senior copywriter bisa mendapatkan penghasilan rata-rata Rp 6.000.000 hingga Rp 7.000.000 per bulan.

Wiharto merasa optimistis bahwa masa depan profesi copywriter ini masih sangat cerah. Kehadiran sejumlah stasiun televisi dan media cetak ikut memberi andil dalam mencerahkan prospek copywriter. ''Dengan kehadiran stasiun tv dan media cetak, pesanan pembuatan iklan semakin banyak,'' ucap Wiharto. ''Itu artinya, tenaga copywriter masih sangat dibutuhkan.'' ***

A Sample Interview Thank You Letter
A sample thank you letter that you use after an interview, as a guideline or template, will save you a lot of time when preparing this type of correspondence. Since you'll prepare it before the job interview when you are not nervous and have a clear head, the letter will really increase your chances of making or reinforcing a good impression.

Try using this for your own uses.

Date Name Company Address City State Zip


Dear Name,


I enjoyed the chance to visit with you in your office today concerning career opportunities with ABC Company. After discussing the future of the company I am convinced that I can make a positive contribution, and believe our association could be mutually beneficial.


I was especially impressed with the information you provided concerning expansion into other markets and the need for an invigorated marketing effort. With my background in advertising and insurance sales and experience as a carnival promoter, I believe I have a lot to offer.


ABC Company has an outstanding reputation in the field and is the type of organization I wish to associate myself with. I pride myself on being an outstanding salesman and promotional specialist, and look forward to a chance to make a positive contribution during this period of growth.


If I can provide any more information that would be of assistance to you, please don't hesitate to call me at the phone number listed above, or email me if that is more convenient. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.


Again, thank you for your time.


Sincerely,


John J. Doe.


Using this sample letter will save you time and lead to more second interviews and more job offers. However, if your field is not sales or marketing it may not be perfectly suited to your needs. It should be easy to analyze the thank you letter and see which sentences and paragraphs can be changed to make it fit your needs and your profession. With modern word processing software you can customize one version, and then copy the file and make another letter geared towards a different type of job completely.

For instance, if there are three or four types of jobs you would consider then creating a thank you letter for each is probably a good idea. The same of course is true with your cover letter and resume. Different versions for different types of jobs, emphasizing different aspects of your skills and experience will make you more versatile. If, however, you are determined to pursue only one type of job, then you obviously need only one sample letter, one type of cover letter and one type of resume. This is a personal choice and you are the only person who knows exactly what job would be best suited for you and if there is more than one type you'd consider. ***

Kiat Manajemen Waktu

Kiat Manajemen Waktu
Bagi siapapun, melakukan manajemen waktu secara bijak amat penting. Bila Anda melewatkan janji penting dan tenggat waktu, tak ayal ini bakal mengganggu alur karir dan kehidupan sosial Anda. Buntutnya, timbul rasa bersalah, frustrasi, dan perasaan buruk lain.

Berikut tips manajemen waktu yang tepat dari George Mason University.

1. Perhatikan jadwal harian.
Ada beragam jadwal waktu yang sesuai dengan kepribadian Anda. Begitu Anda memutuskan satu gaya tertentu, langkah berikut adalah membentuknya. Yang paling baik sisakan sedikit waktu untuk istirahat pada tiap jam, sedangkan setengah jam lainnya disiapkan untuk jadwal yang benar-benar padat.

2. Lakukan survai waktu pribadi.
Untuk mulai mengatur waktu, Anda harus tahu pasti bagaimana Anda menggunakan waktu. Survai waktu akan membantu Anda memperkirakan berapa banyak waktu yang telah Anda habiskan dalam aktivitas tertentu. Untuk memperoleh perkiraan akurat, Anda dapat melihat waktu yang telah dihabiskan selama satu minggu.

3. Belajarlah berkata tidak.
Misalnya, teman dekat Anda mengajak jalan-jalan. Sebenarnya, Anda tidak tertarik. Tapi, Anda tidak sampai hati mengecewakan orang. Berkata tidak dengan sopan selayaknya menjadi kebiasaan.

4. Jangan menjadi perfeksionis.
Berusahalah agar menjadi orang sempurna yang siap menghadapi kekalahan. Tidak ada orang yang sempurna. Anda butuh tujuan yang dapat dicapai dengan kemampuan yang ada. Tugas-tugas sulit biasanya berakhir dengan penolakan dan penundaan.

5. Belajar menentukan prioritas.
Sangat penting melakukan prioritas pada tanggung jawab dan kesepakatan yang telah dicapai. Orang-orang yang tidak tahu bagaimana melakukan prioritas bakal menjadi orang yang gemar menunda-nunda pekerjaan.

6. Adaptasi diri.
Setelah penjadwalan sukses dilakukan, maka tinggal Anda berusaha keras untuk menyesuaikan diri. Namun, yang paling penting adalah bagaimana agar upaya ini dapat berhasil untuk Anda. Jadwal waktu yang tidak jujur dan jadwal kegiatan pribadi bukan jadwal waktu yang tepat.

7. Gabungkan sejumlah aktivitas.
Bila memungkinkan, gabungkan sejumlah aktivitas dalam satu waktu. Ketika dalam perjalanan, baca catatan-catatan penting. Banyak cara untuk memadukan aktivitas, tapi yang penting adalah berusaha agar selalu kreatif. ***

Career Train Wreck

I
f you've ever felt like your career was heading for a train wreck and didn't know where to turn, look no further than your own mirror. While you will find there are many people in the industry who will help you once you've succeeded, it's a far cry sometimes for anyone to help you when you are climbing up a ladder that sways in the wind and each rung seems like it's going down instead of up. The biggest inspiration you can have to avoid a career collision is to get up, look yourself in eye in your mirror and remember the classic children's book, "I Think I can, I think I can, I know I can, I know I can." From "The Little Train That Could." Say to yourself when you are looking in that mirror that You Can do it! You will do! And then get out of your comfort zone and DO it!

Then start looking on the Internet for local musicians meetings to begin your networking today. Build your list of potential supporters one hand shake at a time. Get to know the people who may play a potential role in your future on a personal level. Every one at the top didn't start there. The next hand you shake may be the person who in the future plays a pivotal role in your careers success. Good luck! Be sure to tune into the Jaci Rae show every Thursday night at 8 PM on the West Coast or 11 PM on the East Coast.

Jaci has some of the top industry executives on her show every week. Email your questions live for the guests or Jaci to answer.

Tell Them In Writing:Thank You For Hiring Me!

Tell Them In Writing "Thank You For Hiring Me!"
A thank you letter after you accept a job offer shows good taste, gratitude, and in general shows a new employer that they made a wise decision in hiring you. Most new hires do not write one, so if you are one of the smart few people who do, your relationship with your new employer will get off to a great start. When you write this type of letter, the main goal you wish to accomplish is solidifying the new relationship. You can do this by re-stating the qualifications you have that will be beneficial to the company.

Remind the hiring manager in this way of the reasons he had for hiring you. You are, in this way, congratulating him on his good sense, but doing so in a non-offensive, and non-egotistical manner. Be matter of fact, and to the point, because that is businesslike and you and he are there to conduct business. With luck you two will have a very long and mutually rewarding relationship. If you are accepting a job in sales, marketing, promotions or a related field, then your letter should remind the hiring manager of accomplishments you've had in the past in sales or marketing. Tell the hiring manager that you are motivated and looking forward to working with your new team, adding sales to their gross and profits to their bottom line.

If you are accepting a job in retail management, your letter should re-emphasize to the reader your strong skills in customer service, your work ethic, willingness to be an active and cohesive part of the management team, and your ability to work well with the general public and your co-workers, leading by example and presenting a positive company image to the public.

A person working in education, as a teacher or administrator, should have a letter that emphasizes a willingness to work as part of the education team, teaching your subject to students and in the process, hopefully instilling in your charges a contagious enthusiasm for learning. Your letter may also be a place to elaborate on goals you may have during your tenure with the organization. A salesman may mention his desire to increase sales by a certain percentage. A project manager may mention his or her desire to participate in a particular project that is important to the company's success. A teacher may mention school organization's that he or she wishes to sponsor.

While your resume made your first impression, and you during the interview obviously made a positive second impression to have been offered the job, your thank you letter after you've got the job will reinforce those impressions, taking away any buyer's remorse or cold feet the hiring authority might have later. It will service to convince them that they made a good decision in bringing you on board as a part of their team. ***

CV Writing - Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
C
reating a CV is central to the search for a job, but is something most of us hate doing. For some reason, this crucial skill is not an obligatory part of the UK school or college curriculum and very few young people are adept at presenting themselves in the best possible light. One of the biggest mistakes most people make, is sending out the same CV for every application. It's a big temptation - you've spent hours getting the details and layout just right, or perhaps you've paid a considerable amount of money to have someone write it professionally. The trouble is, each CV needs to be tailored to the job in question, and it's vital that you do this if you want to stand out from the crowd.

What does tailoring a CV mean? It simply means writing it specifically for the post you are targeting. To do this you must recognise the keywords the employer will be looking for and relate them to your own experience. Keywords will be found in the job description and person specification, or in the job advertisement and on the company website. They describe the skills, qualifications and experience needed for the post. Keywords should stand out on your CV - don't forget that in the first round of the selection process, CVs are usually only given a 20 second glance. So if the interviewer doesn't see what he's looking for, your CV is destined for the shredder.

Here's an example of targeting: let's say you are a secretary who speaks several languages and can take shorthand in all of them, but are applying for a job in an office where only English and audio are used. Languages and shorthand, impressive as they are, would not be the most prominent skills on your CV. Instead, you would focus on the skills required, which might be fast typing, advanced Excel or Powerpoint.

Languages and shorthand would be mentioned briefly, perhaps under the heading "Additional Skills." Another common mistake, usually made by older applicants, is including their entire work and educational history. It's usual for CVs to go back only 10 years in terms of work and if you have a degree, school qualifications can be omitted, unless specifically requested or relevant. Employers occasionally ask for a full CV, in which case you do have to include everything.

Choosing the wrong format can also condemn your CV to the bin - different styles work best in specific situations. Many people stick to the chronological CV, but this is not always the most appropriate. It works well if you have been steadily progressing up the ladder in a particular career, or if your most recent jobs are likely to impress the company you hope to work for. A skills-based or functional CV is great if you have gaps in your work history, as you can use it to highlight the fact that you have exactly the skills the employer is looking for. It's also useful if you are moving to a new career or area of work and your work experience isn't completely relevant.

A targeted CV is aimed at a precise job or career, for example if you retrained as a teacher in your 30s or 40s and were applying for a teaching post, your work-related heading might be "Teaching Experience" and your main skills would all be relevant to teaching, for example using IT in the classroom and curriculum development. For soft skills, such as communication skills and team work, you would use examples from your teaching career.

You may need to have different styles of CV for different applications. If we use the previous example of the secretary, she might have had a series of language related jobs and is now applying for linguist and non linguist posts. She could choose a chronological CV for the language jobs and a functional CV for the others. To sum up, individualise every CV for the job concerned, choose the most suitable format for the situation and remember: keywords must jump out at the reader in the first 20 seconds. ***

Interview Bias

Interview Bias
Your job interview is tomorrow. You know your appearance will matter, so you polish your shoes and brush your hair. You realize your interviewer will have your resume in hand, so you've come prepared to explain every minute detail included on it. You've even done practice interviews and prepared your responses to all the trick questions. Are you ready? Not yet. There remains a single type of preparation that you should do that can make or break your interview-knowing how to handle the possible biases of an interviewer.

You need this knowledge because of a simple reality; interviews are subjective, no matter how many objective indicators are introduced. Interviewers are human, and all carry with them some assumptions about different types of people. Despite what may be valid attempts to leave these assumptions behind in the process, even the most earnest interviewer may be letting some of these biases make their way into the decision-making process. The best candidate for a job has many a time been passed over in the interview process because of bias. You don't want to be one of them. You're not likely to be able to change the bias itself in the short duration of the interview, and you may not be able to recognize it with so much else going on.

You can, however, increase the chances that the interviewer will not apply their biases or assumptions toward you. This means preparing for the possible biases of an interviewer before you encounter him/her. You therefore need to recognize the most likely biases people have toward you and prepare to address these biases in interviews to minimize their impact.

Pinpointing Potential Biases
Many people think biases surround visible differences that people have, like race, gender, or appearance. This is true. However, biases usually run much deeper and assumptions are made about a number of other potential differences you may have with your interviewer.

An interviewer may unconsciously make assumptions about you based on the way that you speak, your age, or any of the background information you have listed on your resume. To figure out some of the biases that may surface, give some thought to comments people have made to you in the past that surprised you. Have people thought you were much younger or older than you actually are? Have they assumed you were less intelligent because of your accent? Have you been labeled because of the way you dress? Have people been surprised to learn something in particular about you?

Make a list of some of these assumptions or obstacles that could impede on the interviewer from seeing you as the best candidate. Use your friends to add to your recollection. Ask them what their first impressions of you were. Colleagues from the past are especially valuable since they know you in a work atmosphere and work attire. Have friends read through your resume and create a list of five statements they would make about you based on your resume. Ask them to limit their responses to information on the resume and explain your goal in the exercise so you get honest answers. Combine these statements with ones people have made about you in the past and keep a list handy with all of these assumptions.

The Information Inundation Technique
Once you get a sense for the impression you make and the biases people may have against you, make sure you address them. You should still be focused on demonstrating why you are a qualified candidate for the job. Therefore, while delivering persuasive responses to interviewer questions, saturate your responses with information that will also undo biases.

Here are some suggestions:

1. Match their speech and behaviors.
It is a good idea in general to match your interviewers in terms of their speech and behaviors for etiquette purposes. If an interviewer is formal in their speech, you should be as well. If they sit up straight, don't slouch. This will help reduce assumptions they make about you based on differences they perceive they have from you.

2. Acknowledge & Spin It.
If you sense a bias, don't be afraid to address what it is you think is being held against you. If you have an accent, explain what you do to make yourself understood. If you are young, note it, but also explain what your age adds and focus more on the experiences you have had that makes you worthy of the position. If you are a woman working in a male-dominated profession, explain what you can add to the position very specifically because you are female. Make a point to show the value of the aspect in question.

3. Find a connection.
When you get the chance to ask your own questions at the end of the interview, work to establish a connection with your interviewer. Ask them what they like about the company in question, and communicate your ability to relate to some of the traits he or she identifies. Make a point of smiling and try to be friendly. An open, communicative style on your part is helpful to address any negative biases that person may unconsciously be holding against you.

4. Communicate your Bridge Building potential.
A successful job candidate is not only someone who can do the job, but someone who can work in the organization's culture and be able to do the job well in the long run. Interviewers with biases may assume that you will not fit well into the organization's culture because of your differences. Communicate your ability to work with different people, think from different perspectives, and be open-minded. Give examples. Ask about the company culture and talk about your ability to work with and relate to different people.

5. Make it a strength.
Have you had to deal with this someone who has been biased before because of something about the way you are? Use the experience to show your interviewer how you successfully overcame a difficulty. Emphasize the learning and growth you experienced as a result. This can help an interviewer recognize that their own unconscious bias is impacting their impressions. Make sure you don't insinuate in any way that your interviewer is biased. Your job in the interview is to demonstrate that you are a highly-skilled individual equipped to do the job for which you are applying. Critiquing your interviewer is not a step in the right direction.

6. Assume you are the best person for the position.
Have you noticed that it is that much harder to sit up straight when you are feeling down in the dumps? Most people show their emotions in one way or another, and facing a biased interviewer is likely to stir some serious emotions of anger, frustration, devastation, or defeat. It is important to push through these feelings during the interview so that it doesn't impact your demeanor during the rest of the interview. You can decide later whether you want to work for the company the interviewer represents.

7. Make a Habit of it.
Finally, get into the habit of building bias prep into your interview prep. Build these techniques into your responses and practice saying them so you are comfortable in the interview. Have a friend role-play the biased interview. Make it realistic. How will you face this practice situation?

Interview bias exists, but it doesn't have to impact your potential to get hired. Use these techniques to improve your chances of getting hired based on your qualifications and motivation rather than being excluded because of interviewer bias. ***

Overqualified? Tak Masalah

Overqualified? Tak Masalah
Peristiwa yang satu ini mungkin jarang terjadi; seorang pelamar kerja ditolak lantaran kemampuan yang dimilikinya jauh melebihi apa yang dibutuhkan perusahaan yang membuka lowongan kerja. Kebanyakan perusahaan yang membukan lowongan tenaga kerja, justru sangat senang jika pelamar mempunyai kemampuan lebih dari yang dibutuhkan. Apalagi jika si pelamar bersedia menerima gaji yang sekadarnya. Tapi, jika salah satu dari Anda termasuk pelamar yang ditolak lantaran overqualified tersebut, sebaiknya tak perlu kecewa, terutama jika memang benar-benar ingin bekerja di perusahaan bersangkutan.

Menghadapi pernyataan overqualified tadi, yang biasanya disampaikan pihak perusahaan saat wawancara, sebaiknya tak perlu panik karena itu berarti positif. Sebaliknya, berusahalah tetap tenang dan bersikap seolah-olah pernyataan pujian itu tak pernah disampaikan. Selanjutnya, perlahan-lahan alihkan wawancara pada bagaimana dengan kemampuan yang dimiliki si pelamar mampu memenuhi kebutuhan perusahaan. Maksudnya, dengan kemampuan yang dimiliki, si pelamar sesungguhnya mampu memenuhi apa yang dibutuhkan perusahaan sekarang, sekaligus dapat memenuhi apa yang dibutuhkan perusahaan di masa depan pada saat memang benar-benar membutuhkan kemampuan tersebut.

Setelah itu kemungkinan si pelamar tak langsung begitu saja diterima. Dan jika benar memang tak diterima di perusahaan bersangkutan, mungkin ada baiknya menawarkan atau menginformasikan rekan lain untuk mencoba mengajukan lamaran.

Menyulut Manajer Pendiam
Di tengah cepat perubahan iklim bisnis seperti sekarang ini, tak pelak setiap anggota manajemen, terutama di level menengah ke atas, bakal sering melakukan pertemuan atau diskusi-diskusi intern. Namun dalam diskusi-diskusi penting seperti itu, seringkali pula dijumpai manajer-manajer yang lebih banyak berdiam diri ketimbang ikut aktif dalam diskusi. Meski beberapa rekan telah mencoba membawanya larut dalam diskusi tersebut, sang manajer tetap pada sikapnya yang lebih banyak diam. Kalaupun berbicara, maka sangat singkat. Dan jika kebetulan, sebagai manajer, Anda dipercaya menjadi pemimpin diskusi seperti itu, maka cobalah menyulut manajer pendiam tadi dengan beberapa pertanyaan berikut.

1. Kebohongan apa yang paling populer dan sering dilakukan seseorang saat bekerja?

2. Sebutkan satu atau dua strategi kompetitor yang Anda anggap paling brilliant dan kenapa kita tak memikirkan strategi yang sama?

3. Apa alasan yang paling Anda senangi seandainya dipecat atau mendapat promosi?

Mudah-mudahan dengan pertanyaan-pertanyaan itu, manajer pendiam tadi dapat menjadi lebih aktif saat meeting atau diskusi. ***

Corporate Coaching and Employees

"Don t shoot . We re on the same side.
Contrary to popular belief, a corporate coaching session with your employees is not the beginning of the change process. Our studies and consulting indicate that, 90% of the time, employees already have a clue that a problem or challenge is on the horizon. Furthermore, some employees have already resolved to take action and correct an existing problem or prevent or minimize impending problems. This start of pre-existing readiness is called the employee s own force (self-motivation) for change. In corporate coaching, the trick for the manager is not to let employees feel too threatened, exposed, or vulnerable when they sit down with you.

If employees believe that they won t be tortured or tormented, they will begin to relax and share data and impressions. Employees will naturally feel some initial anxiety and be a bit defensive, even when they are in safe hands. The manager can achieve a lot of success if he/she can tap into, heighten, and acknowledge the employee s own force or self-recognition of the situation. Some leaders believe that the coaching session will help the employee who has perceptual blind spots by establishing the fact that a problem exists. However, the real challenge is to eliminate blind spots regarding the problem s impact and consequences of future action.

A common omission of leaders, while conducting a coaching discussion, is acknowledging and giving employees credit for their awareness of the problem or concern, voluntary cooperation, and self recognition of the needed change. After gathering research data on the corporate coaching from both leaders and employees, we saw a fascinating pattern emerge. Leaders typically attributed their past coaching success to their own skillful orchestration of the coaching discussion. Employees, on the other hand, frequently attributed coaching success to their self-motivated effort to respond to change. Failure to understand that both the leader and employee play key parts in the corporate coaching process can lead to serious complications.

Employees generally don t transmit graphic or extravagant verbal or nonverbal signs that they are attuned to the leader s line of thought and recognize that change is needed. It is as though the employee doesn t want to let on that the manager has a very good point which deserves serious consideration. That manager needs to be very alert and prepared to recognize and acknowledge a subtle yet positive shift of direction or recognition from the employee. The ability to put this into words is critical. For instance, if the employee says, I guess I would be willing to give that a try, the leader could either assume that the employee is still not fully committed or that this represents some positive movement and respond by saying. I m glad you are willing to try. It is important to be sure that you want to go ahead with this plan.

The objective of this procedure is to support the employee s internal willingness or motivation to act constructively in the future. If the supervisor can recognize and reinforce the employee s own force, then the ease and speed of the change will increase. Employees value expression of appreciation in exchange for their support. If the leader doesn t acknowledge the employee s own force and treats the employee as though there were none, the employee may interpret the leader s actions as unnecessarily punitive or a put-down. This may result from the leader overworking the issue or covering old ground from the employee s point of view. The leader simply needs to make sure that the employee s awareness is accurate and that the level of readiness is high enough and then guide the employee into an action plan.

The goal in all of this is to let employees feel like a part of the team, to recognize that employees have accurately detected the same concern or issue as the leader, and then to move the coaching process into the action plan. The bottom line is this: be prepared to give employees some credit. Look for the subtle signs that they are beginning to respond, and express your appreciation for their support and cooperation.***

Hati-hati Bawa Laptop

Hati-hati Bawa Laptop
Notebook atau laptop menjadi kebutuhan vital bagi seorang manajer di Era Informasi ini. Manajer sendiri sering dituntut untuk melakukan pekerjaan di luar daerah atau malah di luar negeri. Tak pelak, laptop harus diajak serta. Jika menggunakan pesawat udara, laptop tak akan begitu saja dimasukkan dalam bagasi seperti halnya pakaian. Tapi, laptop juga tak dapat begitu saja lolos dari pemeriksaan di bandara. Dia harus melewati pemeriksaan X-ray atau metal detector. Saat seperti ini memunculkan keraguan tentang cara paling aman untuk pemeriksaan laptop. Dengan X-ray atau melalui metal detector?

Kalau Anda sempat berpikir lebih aman pemeriksaan lewat metal detector, pertimbangkan kembali. Kebanyakan komputer dapat mentoleransi X-ray, tapi kalau memaksa melalui metal detector, maka risikonya adalah kerusakan pada hard drive pada laptop bersangkutan. Jadi wajar kalau menurut Sales & Marketing Managementi, sebaiknya pilih saja pemeriksaan X-ray.

Dan untuk menghindari risiko hilang atau dicuri, setelah pemeriksaan X-ray, maka sebaiknya jangan meletakkan laptop pada ban berjalan X-ray sebelum orang di depan Anda benar-benar telah selesai melakukan pemeriksaan metal detector. Setelah orang tersebut selesai, baru letakkan laptop pada ban berjalan X-ray, dan Anda bisa secepatnya berjalan melintasi metal detector untuk segera mengambil kembali laptop Anda, tanpa selang waktu yang terlalu lama. Nah, selamat bepergian dengan laptop Anda! ***

Job Reference Letters 4 Steps To Perfection
C
ongratulations. You've been asked to write a letter of recommendation for an employee or colleague. This person values your opinion of him or her, and you'd be glad to help them advance. The problem is you're unsure of what to say or how to say it! Here are four tips to keep in mind when preparing your recommendation.

1. Ask the employee about the new position they are applying for. What types of job duties are involved? What sort of characteristics are they looking for in a good employee? In your letter, describe certain instances where this employee or colleague really shined - such as staying late to complete a mission-critical project, working diligently to help a customer make a product decision, providing thorough technical support or service, and so on. These specific situations have more effect on the person doing the hiring than general run-of-the-mill phrases like "terrific manager", "enthusiastic worker" and so on.

2. Use powerful statements that really show your depth of knowledge about the person. A description like "X is a keen observer who knows how to make customers act and is there with them every step of the way if they are hesitant or have questions" gives a true, in-depth knowledge of the person in a way that a casual letter may not.

3. Print off five letters of reference on company stationery and give them to the recipient. This gives your colleague or coworker additional letters for any other positions that he or she may be applying for in the future, and saves you from having to write them if the request comes around again! If you know it, put the address of the company to whom the letter is being sent, as well as the name of the person in Human Resources who will be collecting and organizing these reference letters. A personalized greeting is far better than a general "To Whom It May Concern" salutation. For the other four copies, leave the address area blank so that the employee can use them for other job opportunities that arise.

4. If you're really stuck on what to write, or simply don't have time, ask the person requesting the reference to write a letter about themselves in their own words and you'll sign it for them. This is a great time-saver and a perfect idea if you're struggling to put the right words on paper.

If you keep these four tips in mind, writing a letter of recommendation will not only come easier to you, but it will let the person receiving the letter know how much you value them as an employee or colleague, and will help them feel more confident when they move on to the next step - the interview. Good luck! ***
