Your Career: Here’s How Much Money Millennials are Earning in each State…Millennials Aren’t Earning as Much Money as their Parents Did When They were Young

/in /by

They came of age during tough economic times — student debt has reached an all-time high and the job market is more competitive than ever.

girls, women, hipster, friends, talking, millennial, gen y

Millennial men make more than millennial women in all but one state — New York.

While this is bad news for the millennial generation as a whole, it is especially so for millennial women, who still face a gender wage gap.  The Institute for Women’s Policy Research recently analyzed data from the US government and released a report that provides state-by-state comparisons of women’s earnings and several compelling charts.

One of the charts reveals the average income of millennials (defined as those aged 16 to 34). “In 2013, the median annual earnings for millennial women working full-time, year-round were $30,000,” states the report, “compared with $35,000 for their male counterparts.”

They earned less than millennial men in all but one state — New York. Between 2011 and 2013, young women in the Big Apple made $38,319, while men earned $37,542.

Ariane Hegewisch, the director of the study, elaborates on this stat: “Women are a third more likely to have a university degree than men in New York. That’s the big reason for the finding,” she explains to Business Insider. “You also have a lot of lower earning men in large cities, which makes a difference. It’s a mixture of a low wage labor market and the fact that young women are taking up the opportunity for professional work and going to New York to work in those sectors.”

She does point out, however, that, “given their qualification profile, women should make more.”

Your Career: Here’s What the Modern Résumé Should Look Like…How Can you Get Yourself Noticed? Beyond the Content, Presentation is also Critical

/in /by

Along with glowing references, a solid resumé is a must-have for any job applicant. But even those with great credentials need to package those achievements the right way to catch a hiring manager’s eyes.

ResumeInHole

How can you get yourself noticed? Having the right keywords on the page — words like “problem solving,” “leadership” and “team building” — can be helpful. Beyond the content, presentation is also critical. Be sure to use proper formatting and avoid any information that’s not pertinent to the position you’re applying to.

Your Career: Digital Branding for the Job Seeker. 5 Reasons Why Resumes & Cover Letters No Longer Do the Trick

/in /by

For Many Careers, Resumes are Becoming Less of a Job Search Focal Point.  It’s a fact that the majority of intelligent, thorough recruiters as well as hiring managers Google GOOGL -1.51% the names of job seekers they interview. Not only are they searching, but they are giving heightened hiring priority to those who have a positive, robust online presence.

ResumeInHole

The necessity of an online presence is now a reality for marketing, sales, graphic arts and PR jobs. Because a positive or negative public image can greatly effect one’s ability to perform in these careers, online resources aligned with a job seeker are given more and more weight, while resumes are proving less and less influential.

In this two part series, I am going to analyze why resumes, cover letters and, to an extent, LinkedIn LNKD +0.2% profiles mean less to today’s employers and the steps that can be taken to compete with more modernized job seekers.

5 Reasons Why Resumes and Cover Letters No Longer Do the Trick

More and more often, job seekers who simply rely on a resume and / or cover letter (even a LinkedIn profile isn’t as helpful as it once was) are frequently outflanked by those who carry a robust online presence.

While they used to be sufficient, there are now inherent problems with relying on written word as your main or only method of advertising. Our recruiters see the following as the 5 most prevalent reasons:

1. They’re outdated. Unfortunately, resumes and cover letters are the equivalent of print advertising. We’re a digitally dominated society. Words without enticing, high-def images fail to play to today’s visually oriented individuals and provide no real experience for the end user.

2. There is virtually no way to track their efficiency. Resumes and cover letters leave job seekers in the dark. Without appearing invasive or desperate, it is virtually impossible to know if an employer opened their resume, how much time they spent looking at it and what parts of the document they focused most on.

3. Resumes focus too heavily on an individual’s past and don’t put enough emphasis on current employment desires or future potential. Younger job seekers have trouble standing out because many lack tangible, relevant experience. For the same reason, those attempting to switch careers or even industries suffer. This is mainly due to the fact that when employers perform an initial resume scan, they find little to no relevant information and discard the application.

4. They fail to humanize the candidate. There’s nothing relatable about a resume or cover letter. It talks about what you’ve done, not who you are as a person. Considering people are more likely to interview, hire and be persuaded by individuals similar to them, as similarities often insinuate cultural fit (a significant hiring factor).

5. Resumes and cover letters provide little to no brand differentiation. Companies receive them by the hundreds (if not more) and most resumes say the same thing. For instance, all job seekers claim they are hard working, competent, detail oriented, knowledgeable and efficient. Though, few prove these attributes are present.

 

Thinking of Yourself as a Business Not a Piece of Paper

 As a job seeker and as a professional, you are a business. Instead of offering a service or product to a client, you offer your expertise to hiring managers and headhunters.

Just like a company, much of one’s success hinges on building an effective image through creative marketing and frequent advertising of your service. These are the basics of building a brand.

In this case, you’re not branding a tangible product such as a smart phone or energy drink. You as a person are the brand and you are more than a piece of paper.

By studying what other job seekers have done, you’ll quickly realize that the overarching strategies that work for Apple AAPL +0.85% and Gatorade, in essence, will work for the job seeker.

For instance, diversified advertising tactics speak to the consumer (a.k.a. the employer), vastly build exposure which fosters trust and insinuates expertise. However, unlike Gatorade or Apple, job seekers can’t afford advertising luxuries such as primetime TV commercials, PPC advertising and full page NY Times ads.

Even with a fractional budget, you can effectively advertise yourself to potential employers and build a personalized brand that creates an image of hard work, success, knowledge, expertise and potential.

Prior to doing so, it’s important for our recruiters to discuss the problems we see with job seekers who rely solely on resumes and cover letters.
Going Forward

Since a significant number of marketing, sales, graphic arts and PR jobs require knowledge of search engines, copy-writing skills, social media expertise and are image oriented, resumes are providing less relevant information to the employer than ever before.

Your Career: 20 meaningful jobs that pay really well… A New Report from Payscale, There are Plenty of Jobs that Offer Both a Fat Paycheck & Satisfying Work

/in /by

It seems like there are only two options when it comes to choosing a career: We can either pursue a meaningful job and make next to nothing, or we can pull in a pretty penny working insanely long hours in an uninspiring, high-pressure role.  Turns out there’s a third option.

Veterinarians typically find their work to be meaningful — and high-paying.

According to a new report from Payscale, there are plenty of jobs that offer both a fat paycheck and satisfying work.

Your Career: The Top 50 Dream Employers of Students Studying Math, Science, or Health…There’s a Common Thread among Undergraduates Studying Natural Science, Math, & Health: They all Tend To Have the Long-Term Career Goal of being Dedicated to a Cause

/in /by

There’s a common thread among undergraduates studying natural science, math, and health: They all tend to have the long-term career goal of being dedicated to a cause, says Melissa Bailey, an executive at Universum, a global research and advisory firm.

College Graduate

A new report from Universum supports her observation.

The research firm recently asked 22,976 of these undergraduates to choose the companies and organizations they’d consider working for from a list of 230 options. Next they asked respondents to choose the five employers they most want to work for.

Universum then put together a ranking of the most desirable employers, based on the percentage of students who chose a company as one of their top five “ideal” employers.

“It’s likely that many of these students strongly associate their top-choice employers with a cause they believe in — in this instance, advancing human health,” says Bailey. “This could be an explanation for why health care services organizations, as well as so many government and public sector organizations, performed so well this year.”

Your Career: The Best Advice Career Experts Ever Received…They Make their Living Giving other People Career Advice, but what were the Words of Wisdom that Helped them?

/in /by

Career coaches spend their days doling out advice to help people get ahead. But what advice did they get that helped them along the way?

First Sun Success Series

We asked five successful career coaches what was the best career advice they ever received. Here, the words of wisdom that’s stuck with them through the years.

SURROUND YOURSELF WITH GREAT PEOPLE

Roughly 15 years ago, Jeff Wolf, author of Seven Disciplines of a Leader, and founder and president, Wolf Management Consultants in Chicago, had just come out of corporate America. During a conversation about business and leadership, his father-in-law, a consultant, told him, “Make sure you surround yourself with great people.” Wolf was in the process of building his team, which now totals 55, and thought about how much better has CEO life had been when he was surrounded by top talent.

He says that being careful in selecting his team members “helped the company weather the recession.” Not only were they able to come up with solutions and look for opportunities that contributed to the business. In addition, their skills and expertise were so strong that they helped Wolf’s management consulting firm land business even when companies were sharply pulling back their spending on outside consulting services, he says.

STRETCH BEYOND YOUR COMFORT ZONE

While working at the University of Washington, Robin Ryan was considering a career in speaking and teaching when she met a fellow speaker who told her she needed a book. Ryan had never thought about writing a book. “Grammar is not my forte,” she says.

But she took a class on writing a book proposal and began to research the process of writing a book. She sent out 24 proposals to various publishing houses and sold her book, 60 Seconds And You’re Hired, based on an interviewing class she taught. In 2016, the book’s sixth edition will be released, and she’s gone on to write several other books. She’s been featured in many national publications and has been a guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show, CNN, NBC News and many others and has a thriving career coaching practice. But none of that would have happened if she hadn’t have taken on a challenge that wasn’t a natural fit for her and for which she had to work hard to achieve, she says.

DO WHAT YOU LOVE—EVEN IF IT’S UNCOMFORTABLE

Former Marine Courtney Lynch was working at a large law firm when she had the opportunity to go off on her own and start a leadership development company. But who ditches a cushy law gig in pursuit of something so amorphous without any promises? Lynch turned to her financial advisor for a reality check.

“She told me she could put me in a lot of different investment products, but in the end, she couldn’t sell me an investment better than investing in myself,” she says.

The advisor also said that Lynch couldn’t save her way to security, but that her talent was her true safety net and that she would be wise to follow it. Lynch made the leap and her book, Leading From the Front: No-Excuse Leadership Tactics For Women, was published by McGraw-Hill. It became a best-seller, and as founding partner of Fairfax, Virginia-based LeadStar, she consults with companies like Merrill Lynch, ESPN and Google to help develop leaders within organizations. She uses her personal example to illustrate to her clients what’s possible.

WORK HARD AND SMART

When Lorenzo G. Flores was just starting out as a psychiatric social worker, one of his bosses took him aside and gave him a few words of wisdom: there’s no substitute for hard work, but you also need to know the politics of the organization. In an age where “work smarter not harder” is the mantra, he says his mentor’s advice was a more pragmatic approach. Working hard is important, especially when you’re first starting out. However, you need to know where hard work is valued so your efforts are generating results that are important to those in charge, he says.

“It comes down to that 80/20 rule. Where do put your emphasis? What do you do best? What seem to be the boss’s priorities? All of that is critical to repositioning yourself for career advancement,” he says.

Flores worked his way up to a department director position using this philosophy. He now owns a Fresno, California coaching practice, which helps individuals and companies develop career advancement tactics, using a book and board game he self-published based on the concept.

SHOW YOUR WORK—AND YOUR WORTH

Nicole Williams, founder of New York City-based career consulting firm Works, took to heart the old writing chestnut, “Show, don’t tell.” She sees it as the notion of focusing on outcomes and demonstrating your value rather than just talking about it.

“If you spend a lot of time talking, it’s a sure sign to your managers and clients that you’re uncertain,” she says.

Instead, put your effort in and deliver results, she says. Be a problem-solver, focus on solutions, and make an impact. This approach has helped her build her firm to include corporate and college consulting and working with brands. Her commitment to results has even attracted private investment from business development lab Loeb Enterprises. She also uses this mantra as a litmus test to determine how serious people are when they ask for her help, requesting that they send her a summary of how they’d like her assistance.

“If you can’t send me a one-pager, within a reasonable amount of time, which is a week, you know, I kind of just cross you off the list of potentials, because you just haven’t responded,” she says.

Your Career: The Single Best Way To Speed Up Your Job Search…Again & Again, People make the Same Mistake: They Underestimate the Value of Human Relationships

/in /by

Again and again, people make the same mistake: they underestimate the value of human relationships. This is true when you are looking for a job, and – for most – it remains true after you find a new position.

resume-mistakes-11

Instead of looking for a job, look for people with whom you would like to work.

For most of us, that means people with whom we have interests, habits, or attitudes in common. Personally, I’m drawn to people who break or ignore rules. When I was one of the original partners of the consulting firm Peppers and Rogers Group, we used to joke that we were all unemployable. In truth, we had all worked successfully many places, but we liked being on the cutting edge and challenging conventional wisdom.

By the way, I never applied for a job as partner; I simply sent an email to one of the partners along with a strategy statement I had written based on their ideas. Ten days later, I was a partner in their firm. My motivating factor was that I was drawn to Don Peppers and Martha Rogers, two highly innovative authors with whom I wanted to work.

To me, job descriptions are little more than clues. They tell you a bit about a company and its current needs, but they don’t represent the sum total of opportunities at a firm.

When I worked at WGBH, Boston’s public television station, I escaped an entry level job by writing a job description and giving it to my boss’s boss’s boss. Two weeks later, he tossed a job description on my desk and asked if I’d be interested in the position; it was my draft with a new title and a few words changed here and there. (I took the job.)

There are two reasons that gambit worked. First, I had already built a relationship with him. Second, I took the initiative rather than rotting away in a dead-end job.

Most people slow down their job search and limit their opportunities by being reactive. If you are simply applying for jobs and submitting resumes to companies, you are probably in for a very long slog.

But if you use social media and weak connections to find interesting people, the reverse is true; you can speed up your job search.

I say weak connections because most business and career opportunities arise through weak connections… friends of friends of friends, or someone you met once four years ago.

Farm your interests and past for such connections. Look for people who attended the same school as you, grew up in the same state, or played the same sport. If you like programming or glass blowing, find others who do, too.

It is not enough to find people with just one interest in common; look for people with whom you share two or more interests. These are the people who will lead you to a great job.
For example, if you simply look for someone who also likes glass blowing, it is unlikely that person will lead you to a viable job. But if you look for healthcare administrators who also are glass blowers, the odds are pretty good such a person can lead you to a solid healthcare position. You will be able to quickly establish a relationship.

By focusing on people rather than positions, you put human connections first. In doing so, you acknowledge the way the world really works. Very few workplace decisions are based solely on objective facts. Most are strongly influenced by human relationships. People act based on interactions with others they like, trust and respect. That’s true whether someone is hiring a new employee or deciding whom to promote.

Here’s the bottom line: to speed up your job search, don’t look for a job. Look for people with whom you want to work.

Your #Career: 7 Signs You Will Be #Fired Soon…How Can you Know if you will be Fired soon? Here are 7 Warning Signs to Look Out for.

/in /by

Infrequent #Restructuring & #Layoffs were the Only Things an #Employee could worry about in the past, but a lot has changed nowadays considering the tough economic times. For instance, companies are going through bankruptcies, non-stop downsizing and even the illusion of job security will soon be a thing of the past. These factors have seen the #Job Layoffs & #Unemployment numbers rise to double digits.

It is quite evident that no one would like to be caught unaware, especially when it comes to losing a job. Nonetheless, how can you know if you will be fired soon? Here are 7 warning signs to look out for.

1. No work pressure

In the corporate scene, it is quite common for everyone to complain of the work pressure that comes with being allocated a lot of responsibilities and projects. However, if you are that kind of a person who floats free because you have less work than your colleagues, then there is always a high chance that this could be one of the most obvious signs you will be fired soon.

Basically, this is a clear sign that your skills are no longer valuable to your superiors who see no future prospects for you in the company. Ideally, no work pressure essentially implies no work soon.

2. You’re no longer in the loop

If you feel you no longer know what’s happening in the company or your office, then your clock has just started ticking. You can rest assured that you are no longer in the loop if memos are sent out or important decisions that you previously would have been consulted on are made without your knowledge.

For instance, if you use to be consulted during important recruitment decisions, and you walk into your office just to realize that someone new has been hired, get ready to hit the job hunting road very soon.

3. You don’t get along with your boss
When things get really bad, people tend to run in the other direction, and an impending job termination is actually no different. This is actually one of the most common signs that indicate you will be fired soon. You can tell if your job is in imminent jeopardy if your boss seems standoffish or rather unfriendly because he/she isn’t sure of the best way to break the news to you. But take heart, some bosses can even fire you without a second thought if the distance between you and them gets wider.

4. When you see your own job posted on the job boards
This might sound a bit impossible, but beware if you see an advert for a job on the internet or any other job board that’s very similar to your own. As much as it can be such a great disappointment to see your own job advertised as vacant internally or externally, it is always a good sign that you will be fired soon. In most cases, your boss will give an excuse about expanding the department or some other bait and switch. Nonetheless, it is always a good idea to use the job placement period to accelerate your search for a new job.

5. Your company is sold The current prevailing economic times have become very tough to the point that mergers or even take overs are becoming more rampant. Mergers and acquisitions can imply that the deck will be shuffled by the new bosses, and hence you must ensure that you hold your cards firmly even if you are told that your job is safe.

6. You made a colossal mistake
It is pretty obvious that everyone makes mistakes, but you our job could be in real danger if you made a noticeable one, even if you are not to blame for it entirely. Basically, there are some mistakes an employer cannot ignore, such as stealing or sharing company’s confidential information. You will definitely get fired if you make a colossal mistake that can cost the company its reputation, but you can take responsibility by dismissing it as a minor slip.

7. A very bad review for the work done
The best way for employers to document an employee’s performance is with the reviews for work done. Unfortunately, some reviews are not so favorable particularly when your performance is in question. A bad review is one of the most definitive signs you will be fired soon, whether it is a warranted bad review or not.

Your Career:12 Things Successful People Never Reveal about Themselves at Work…The Following List Contains the 12 Most Common Things People Reveal that Send their Careers Careening in the Wrong Direction

/in /by

You can’t build a strong professional network if you don’t open up to your colleagues; but doing so is tricky, because revealing the wrong things can have a devastating effect on your career.

 

Successful people steer clear of stories from their wild college days.

Sharing the right aspects of yourself in the right ways is an art form. Disclosures that feel like relationship builders in the moment can wind up as obvious no-nos with hindsight.

The trick is to catch yourself before you cross that line, because once you share something, there is no going back.

TalentSmart has tested more than a million people and found that the upper echelons of top performance are filled with people who are high in emotional intelligence (90% of top performers, to be exact). Emotionally intelligent people are adept at reading others, and this shows them what they should and shouldn’t reveal about themselves at work.

The following list contains the 12 most common things people reveal that send their careers careening in the wrong direction.

1. That they hate their job

The last thing anyone wants to hear at work is someone complaining about how much they hate their job. Doing so labels you as a negative person who is not a team player. This brings down the morale of the group. Bosses are quick to catch on to naysayers who drag down morale, and they know that there are always enthusiastic replacements waiting just around the corner.

2. That they think someone is incompetent

There will always be incompetent people in any workplace, and chances are that everyone knows who they are. If you don’t have the power to help them improve or to fire them, then you have nothing to gain by broadcasting their ineptitude.

Announcing your colleague’s incompetence comes across as an insecure attempt to make you look better. Your callousness will inevitably come back to haunt you in the form of your coworkers’ negative opinions of you.

3. How much money they make

Your parents may love to hear all about how much you’re pulling in each month, but in the workplace, this only breeds negativity. It’s impossible to allocate salaries with perfect fairness, and revealing yours gives your coworkers a direct measure of comparison.

As soon as everyone knows how much you make, everything you do at work is considered against your income. It’s tempting to swap salary figures with a buddy out of curiosity, but the moment you do, you’ll never see each other the same way again.

4. Their political and religious beliefs

People’s political and religious beliefs are too closely tied to their identities to be discussed without incident at work. Disagreeing with someone else’s views can quickly alter their otherwise strong perception of you. Confronting someone’s core values is one of the most insulting things you can do.

Granted, different people treat politics and religion differently, but asserting your values can alienate some people as quickly as it intrigues others. Even bringing up a hot-button world event without asserting a strong opinion can lead to conflict.

People build their lives around their ideals and beliefs, and giving them your two cents is risky. Be willing to listen to others without inputting anything on your end because all it takes is a disapproving look to start a conflict. Political opinions and religious beliefs are so deeply ingrained in people, that challenging their views is more likely to get you judged than to change their mind.

5. What they do on Facebook

The last thing your boss wants to see when she logs on to her Facebook account is photos of you taking tequila shots in Tijuana. There are just too many ways you can look inappropriate on Facebook and leave a bad impression.

It could be what you’re wearing, whom you’re with, what you’re doing, or even your friends’ commentary. These are the little things that can cast a shadow of doubt in your boss’ or colleagues’ minds just when they are about to hand you a big assignment or recommend you for a promotion.

It’s too difficult to try to censor yourself on Facebook for your colleagues. Save yourself the trouble, and don’t friend them there. Let LinkedIn be your professional “social” network, and save Facebook for everybody else.

6. What they do in the bedroom

Whether your sex life is out of this world or lacking entirely, this information has no place at work. Such comments might get a chuckle from some people, but it makes most uncomfortable, and even offended. Crossing this line will instantly give you a bad reputation.

 

7. What they think someone else does in the bedroom

A good 111% of the people you work with do not want to know that you bet they’re tigers in the sack. There’s no more surefire way to creep someone out than to let them know that thoughts of their love life have entered your brain. Anything from speculating on a colleague’s sexual orientation to making a relatively indirect comment like, “Oh, to be a newlywed again,” plants a permanent seed in the brains of all who hear it that casts you in a negative light.

Your thoughts are your own. Think whatever you feel is right about people; just keep it to yourself.

8. That they’re after somebody else’s job

Announcing your ambitions at work when they are in direct conflict with other people’s interests comes across as selfish and indifferent to those you work with and the company as a whole.

Great employees want the whole team to succeed, not just themselves. Regardless of your actual motives (some of us really do just work for the money), announcing your selfish goal will not help you get there.

9. How wild they used to be in college

Your past can say a lot about you. Just because you did something outlandish or stupid 20 years ago doesn’t mean that people will believe you’ve developed impeccable judgment since then. Some behavior that might qualify as just another day in the typical fraternity (binge drinking, minor theft, drunk driving, abusing people or farm animals, and so on) shows everyone you work with that, when push comes to shove, you have poor judgment and don’t know where to draw the line.

Many presidents have been elected in spite of their past indiscretions, but unless you have a team of handlers and PR types protecting and spinning your image, you should keep your unsavory past to yourself.

10. How intoxicated they like to get

You might think talking about how inebriated you were over the weekend has no effect on how you’re viewed at work. After all, if you’re a good worker, then you’re a good worker, right?

Unfortunately not.

Sharing this will not get people to think you’re fun. Instead, they will see you as unpredictable, immature, and lacking in good judgment. Too many people have negative views of drugs and alcohol for you to reveal how much you love to indulge in them.

11. An offensive joke

If there’s one thing we can learn from celebrities, it’s to be careful about what you say and whom you say it to. Offensive jokes make other people feel terrible, and they make you look terrible. They also happen to be much less funny than clever jokes.

A joke crosses the line any time you try to gauge its appropriateness based on how close you are with someone. If there is anyone who would be offended by your joke, you are better off not telling it. You never know whom people know or what experiences they’ve had in life that can lead your joke to tread on subjects that they take very seriously.

12. That they are job hunting

When I was a kid, I told my baseball coach I was quitting in two weeks. For the next two weeks, I found myself riding the bench. It got even worse after those two weeks when I decided to stay, and I became “the kid who doesn’t even want to be here.” I was crushed, but it was my own fault; I told him my decision before it was certain.

The same thing happens when you tell people that you’re job hunting. Once you reveal that you’re planning to leave, you suddenly become a waste of everyone’s time. There’s also the chance that your hunt will be unsuccessful, so it’s best to wait until you’ve found a job before you tell anyone. Otherwise, you will end up riding the bench.
