Heres how to make your job more fulfilling

Heres how to make your job more fulfillingHeres how to make your job more fulfillingHaving lunch with friends, playing with my kids, vacation days - these are all fun.When we first started Morphic Therbeiapeutic, our VP of Finance said its important to tell all candidates how much fun they would have at the company over the next few years.But is fun the right language to describe work in a modern company? Or is it aelendher even more positive feeling entirely?We generally consider things fun if we engage with them naturally and effortlessly, often in the spur of the moment.If you apply that to a workplace setting, this could mean texting and responding to email. Catching up on industry news. Ordering office supplies and business cards - and even attending a number of meetings throughout the day.Actually, is that even fun? ur normal definition of fun clearly doesnt fit the workplace setting.So, heres why you shouldnt aim for work thats fun, but for work thats fulfilling.Struggling f or funIn the workplace, we struggle to achieve excellence. We consider the struggle worthy of our time. We push ourselves- hard. We give up autonomy in buchen to pursue something bigger than we could do ourselves.In sports, this feeling is equal to physical pain. You probably tell yourself, Cmon you can do this. You got this. Ive said this to myself hundreds of thousands of times.In an intellectual pursuit, we feel the frustrating pain of being stuck. I find myself saying the exact same thing, Cmon. You got this.For complicated problems, many cant be solved until they have been internalized. Until all aspects of the problem can be recalled in working memory in order to let your subconscious work on it. It takes a lot of effort to get a problem into working memory.Think back to a time when you really pushed yourself to your limits, when you were trying to solve a problem at the edge of both your field and your capabilities. When people are solving these types of hard problems, its a different feeling than having a fun lunch with a friend.Getting in the zoneSome people call this a flow state. This describes the psychology concept labeled by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, typically referred to as being in the zone. This is a mental state many achieve when their skill is equivalent to the difficulty levels.The only problem with this is that if you are in that state perpetually, you dont get any better.Professor Anders Ericsson, an expert in the science of peak performance, says flow is not a feeling that makes you improve. You have to be pushing the difficulty levels if you want to solve increasingly difficult problems and improve your skills.Is it fun when youre mentally giving it your all and reaching your limits intellectually?When a musician is practicing a song for hours to get it right, thats not necessarily fun. In fact, one study of world-class violinists reported that these performers could be in that intense state for a maximum of an hour and a half. After, th ey were so mentally exhausted they would need to immediately take a nap.But most people are willing to go through intense periods of work because they can envision a future version of themselves. That future version will look back and thank you for the effort you put in today. So, its not that every single moment is enjoyable. But there is a satisfaction that comes from the process. And of course, eventually, youre rewarded with the accomplishment.Perhaps we lack the vocabulary, and accomplishing tasks is just a different type of fun.There are many instances where it takes effort to have a difficult conversation. Or tackle a pile of journal articles. Or spend time trying to understand someones opposing view. But afterwards, you think, Wow That was great.With difficult activities, the fun and fulfillment comes after completing the task.Aiming for fulfillmentEvery moment at work is not going to be fun, but you should feel a sense of accomplishment walking out every night. The time you put in meant something. And that feeling of making progress and increasing mastery- its addictive.I tell all potential candidates that if they want to challenge themselves and push their capabilities, then Morphic is the place for them. We dont work on simple issues. We solve some of the most difficult and complex problems out there, and we give everyone the opportunity do their very best work. Because at the end of the day, we exist to solve problems. And thats why people join the team.When I look at our employees, I see them doing meaningful work. When theyre absorbed in their work, it rarely looks fun. But when I see them spontaneously throughout the day, they look happy.This feeling of overall accomplishment and fulfillment is what companies need to strive for.Finding fun in fulfillmentWe all gravitate to the things that are natural and spontaneous, such as opening up email or checking off a to-do list. We resist things that are difficult, such as reviewing a direct report so y ou can help him or her make progress on a major problem.Ease is an extremely powerful urge, perhaps even more powerful than a flight-or-fight response.When working, you have to stay vigilant to anything that is easy and spontaneous. Are you just following an autopilot response? Theres a good chance whatever youre doing isnt valuable or fun.On the contrary, orient and steer yourself to anything difficult. Few will go this direction. Theres a low chance youre wasting time. Tasks or problems in this direction are not spontaneous and will take self-discipline to accomplish. But there is a much higher chance that they will provide more fulfillment- and turn out to be fun in the long run.This post was originally published on Quora.com.

8 Secret Sins of the Office

8 Secret Sins of the Office 8 Secret Sins of the Office The pointers were backed by Cynthia Shapiro, a former HR executive and author of Corporate Confidential. Were always reading someones opinion of what to and not to do while at work, and I usually get a kick out of it. ABCs insight welches no different. Most of the things on the list are like seriously? Id get fired for that? But, hey, perhaps thats why theyre such a secret?Well, for anyone who missed last weeks episode, Im zu siche to offer a recap complete with my own commentary about how to avoid falling prey to these sinful temptations8. Being Mr.PopularMr. Popular is just as it soundsbeing well known and well liked in the bro. Youre the go-to person, the it guy or gal. While in high school this may have been on the top of everyones list, Shapiro says, as a professional working adult, it should be far from yours. Sharing too much personal information about yourself can get you into trouble quickly. Shapiro says friendships need to be strategically crafted.Recruiter.coms advice Keep a solid line between professional and personal lives. Everyone isnt your friend in the office and may not have your best interest in mind. Likewise, you dont want to spread too much personal information about yourself because 1) it may make others uncomfortable knowing certain things about you and 2) you dont want to hinder managements perception of you based on happenings outside the office.7. MultitaskingEven though our baboes may say they want us to work on a bunch of things at once and be productive, Shapiro says this isnt always true. Multitasking makes your performance tank, and dividing your attention between tasks can decrease a workers efficiency.Recruiter.coms advice Make a weekly schedule of all the important tasks that must be completed. Decide on the level of importance to arrange the tasks in the order of completion. Allot specific amounts of time for each task, each day. This will ensure youre getting your wo rk done in a timely manner while still giving each task undivided attention.6. Talking to HRAlthough HR may tell you to come to them for help, Shapiro says be cautious. HR works for the company. They wont tell other employees what you said, but they will tell your boss depending on the situation.Recruiter.coms Advice Approach your boss, co-worker or whomever you have the issue with in a professional manner. Ask the person if he/she has time to discuss a concern. Remind him or her of what happened and your perspective of the situation. Ask for his or hers to clear up any miscommunication. Then, suggest you both offer plausible solutions to avoid this happening again.5. Over decoratingShapiro claims this can be a career killer because office decorations are an unconscious test of values and loyalties. If an employees office is filled with religious things and troll dolls, it can cause others to make assumptions. If his or her desk is messy and chaotic, that can translate to a messy pe rson. Schapiro also warned about family photos, saying theyre risky because it tells employers youd rather be at home.Recruiter.coms advice Decorate your desk in whatever way expresses you and makes you relaxed. Always ensure its professional, organized and doesnt include anything that may offend or scare/harm others. After all, your desk is yours but you share the space with others. Be considerate.4. Bringing kids to workA childs bad behavior reflects on his/her parents. Employers will think if the worker cannot control his/her children, how can this person control an office?Recruiter.coms advice Unless its bring your child to work day, leave your children at home. If you are going to bring in kids, know your companys culture and what days and times would be best.3. Feeding others (bringing in treats)Shapiro says if you do this too much, you wont be taken seriously. This is more toward women as she claims bringing in goodies makes women appear as the office mascot or office mom.Rec ruiter.coms advice Everyone loves treats, but most people are also health conscious. Bake sparingly and with a purpose, i.e. holidays, birthdays, etc. You can also have a volunteer sign up when these days come around so its not just one person always bringing in the treats.2. Signing off with loveWith love and/or love email signatures have no place in business correspondence, Shapiro points out. Dont send these to clients or your boss, especially.Recruiter.coms Advice Create a standard signature.1. Working too hardEven though most Americans are workaholics, 20/20 says this attitude can backfire. Overworking can decrease performance, which will negatively impact a workers image.Recruiter.coms advice Take periodic breaks, stop skipping lunch and go home when your shift is over. This may sound lazy or uncommitted but your boss simply cares that the work is done and its done well. A lot of times stepping away from work helps clear your mind so youre refreshed and focused when you return .

Riding the Canadian rails 2 experiences on different tracks

Riding the Canadian rails 2 experiences on different tracks Riding the Canadian rails 2 experiences on different tracks “All aboard,” announces the service manager, and we’re off from Vancouver. Making our way within Canada, there are two options â€" the Rocky Mountaineer and VIA Rail â€" each a nostalgic adventure, each distinctively different. So, join me on the rails for the inside scoop on the maple leaf nation’s province-to-province train travel.The Rocky MountaineerEntering the Rocky Mountaineer Station, there’s a sense of excitement. Daylight floods the room from full-length windows fronting the track framing our soon-to-be mode of transport. Beyond, an impeccable string of navy and gold train carriages is a grand sight. A whistle sounds and we’re ready to go with bagpipes blaring in the background. As we make our way we’re greeted by uniformed hosts and hostesses on a red carpet leading to the train. Scheduled departure is 8 a.m. but we’re off and running at 7:56 a.m. Practically an army of Rocky Mountaineer staff are lining the platform and waving goodbyes.Follow Ladders on Fl ipboard!Follow Ladders’ magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and more!Onboard, train manager Peter Maseja, an 18-year veteran, introduces himself and shares a bit about our pending journey â€" we have 18 pieces of equipment, 506 passengers and our top speed will be 45 m.p.h. “What time do we arrive?” someone asks. His response is somewhat vague: “We share tracks with freight trains, so we never know,” he says. Turns out this is the honest to god truth for we never do learn the exact ETA, only that it would likely be after what’s scheduled.The Rocky Mountaineer is a seasonal train (April â€" October) that adheres to a partial schedule for a simple reason â€" to maximize daylight. Its routes (Seattle to Vancouver, Vancouver to Jasper and mine, Vancouver to Banff/Lake Louise) are milepost to milepost chock full of astounding terrain, landscape that needs to be seen. Passengers stay in hotels at the half-way point â€" for m e in Kamloops â€" their luggage unseen since boarding awaiting in their room.GoldLeaf LuxuryTraveling in its top-of-the-line premier class, GoldLeaf, the details are impressive. The bi-level car is topped with a 180-degree dome, comfortable (assigned) seats are equipped with trays for writing, organizing and the bevy of snacks served (preceded by a refresher towel). These range from warm-from-the-oven scones to chips and salsa and freshly baked cookies. Beverages (including beer, wine and spirits) are served throughout-the-day. On the first level is a formal white cover restaurant for breakfast and lunch. Most food is locally sourced and cooked onboard, and features choices such as a feta and spinach souffle for breakfast and short ribs for lunch. The best thing about the restaurant level is its rear open-air viewing platform for fresh air and photo opps.Having done the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express trip years ago, Rocky Mountaineer is reminiscent of that line’s fine appointments; but unlike Europe’s luxury train, this one is augmented with informative commentary and loudspeaker announcements like “Bear on the right!” or “Moose on the left!” And, taking a curtain call as we pull into Banff station a “gang” of elk was sure enough there to welcome us along with a row of uniformed employees.Excursion on Via RailDescribed as “real railroading” by fellow passenger and train enthusiast, John Mueller, there is something inherently romantic about an excursion on VIA Rail, a back-in-the-day peek into train travel of yesteryear. Having debuted more than 60 years ago and refurbished over the years, its sleek stainless cars still shout authenticity. My winter journey from Vancouver to Toronto aboard The Canadian consisted of four-nights, three-days, 2,775 miles, four time zones and the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario. It began with congratulatory champagne while seated in the dome-observation car as we pulled out from Vancouver’s Pacific Central Station at noon on a Tuesday. The scheduled arrival in Toronto was for Saturday at 2 p.m.With VIA Rail the train doubles as your hotel. Of the various options, my favorite is Sleeper Plus â€" a private cabin with bunk beds that convert to daytime seating, a sink and a private lavatory (sleeper cars offer a shared shower, for which I never had to wait). Stops are numerous, but the length is not, so the time is spent stretching your legs and breathing in Canada’s fresh air. Three meals are served each day with white cloth service and extravagances like prime rib, VIA Rail’s signature chocolate torte and comfort foods like fried chicken and burgers.The biggest draws, however, were found outside the windows, always a winter wonderland â€" from white-topped Canadian Rocky peaks and wide-open snow-covered prairies to the season’s clear, dark skies punctuated by a canopy of stars (we’re told to look for a Northern Lights sighting on approach t o Edmonton). Add to the mix an education on the meaning of the green, yellow and red signal combos and a graceful rocking to sleep when it’s bedtime. The result is sweet relaxation. And when pulling into Toronto’s Union Station, albeit a few hours late, parting is with sweet sorrow.Tips for riding the Canadian rails:Expect trains to be late and don’t book return flights or other transportation on the day of arrival.Pad an extra day or two on the end of the trip to see Canada’s cities.Consider off-season VIA Rail travel. Why? Rates are discounted and there are fewer passengers. Also, views are unobstructed (i.e. no tree-lined tracks) and there is 24/7 access for Sleeper Plus passengers to areas enjoyed by those in Prestige Class.If booking in Sleeper Plus, book an F cabin for more space.Pack light. Except for a small duffel, luggage is not allowed on the Rocky Mountaineer. When packing for VIA Rail, think airplane carry-on allowances â€" one personal item and a small piece of luggage.www.rockymountaineer.com ww.viarail.ca.  This article originally appeared on TravelSquire.You might also enjoy… New neuroscience reveals 4 rituals that will make you happy Strangers know your social class in the first seven words you say, study finds 10 lessons from Benjamin Franklin’s daily schedule that will double your productivity The worst mistakes you can make in an interview, according to 12 CEOs 10 habits of mentally strong people

The Best Way to Job Search When You Are Employed

The Best Way to Job Search When You Are Employed The Best Way to Job Search When You Are Employed Job searching and interviewing for a new position when you are currently employed can be tricky, especially if you dont (and you shouldnt) want your employer to know that you are considering quitting. Its important to be careful how you go about your job search and how you take time off for interviews, so your employer doesnt discover that you are job searching until you are ready for them to know. You dont want to be  caught job searching by your boss  if you can help it. The reason its important to be careful is that employees have been fired for even saying they  hate their job  or their company, much less that they are thinking of quitting. For example, dont put a job title on Facebook, or any other social media site, that says Slave at UPS. The person who listed it was a friend of a friend who didnt have his privacy settings adjusted as he should have.? Tips for Job Searching When You Have a Job Having information like that available for anyone to see isnt going to impress your old employer - or your potential new employer who may also see it. Be discreet, very discreet, when youre employed and job hunting. Plan Your Job Search Take the time to plan your  job search, both from having everything you need lined up before you start -  resume, a  cover letter outline  you can customize for each job you apply for, a  solid LinkedIn profile, and  professional references  (non-work references) who can attest to your ability to do a new job. Take the time to plan to job search as confidentially and strategically as possible. Streamline Your Job Search There are some great  job search tools  that will enable you to keep your job search organized and managed. Use these  job search engines  and set up email alerts so you are notified when new jobs are posted. Review these  ten easy steps to organize your job search to get started. Dont Job Search on Work Computers Dont use your work computer for writing your resume, applying for jobs, or communicating with employers. Use a Gmail or other personal email address for all your non-work-related communications. Use Your Personal Email Address Dont use your work email address for job hunting. Use your personal account or set up a free  web-based email account  specifically for job searching. Dont Use Your Office Phone Number Dont put your office phone number on your resume and job applications. Use your cell phone or personal landline number. Keep Your Job Search to Yourself Dont advertise on social media or tell your co-workers that you are looking for another job or dont like the one you have. Even if you tell one person, thats one person too many. The more people who know, the better the chance that your current company will find out you are job searching. Very Carefully Tap Your Connections Do talk privately, however, to the professional connections you know are trustworthy. Ask them if they can send any leads they come across your way, reminding them to keep your confidences and not to disclose the fact that youre job seeking. Also, tap those connections to see if  they will provide a reference for you. Use Non-Work References Dont use your supervisor or any other references from the job you have now. If the hiring managers ask permission to talk to your manager (and they probably will), you can tell them you would need to have a preliminary job offer first, but that the final offer could be contingent upon their talking to your work references. Dont Interview From Work Many employers use phone interviews for first-round screening. Dont schedule a  phone interview  for when you are at work unless  you have a private office. Try to schedule on your lunch hour or early or late in the day, and do it on your own time and from your own phone. Schedule Your Interviews Carefully On a related note, schedule your interviews carefully  so that you wont be missed at work. Again, early or late in the day are easier to explain to your current employer. Another alternative would be to take personal or vacation time. If you have multiple interviews to schedule, you may be able to do them on the same day. Bring a Change of Clothes Dont walk into the office wearing a suit if your normal office attire is business casual or casual. Bring a change of clothes and change elsewhere before you head out to the interview and back to work. When to Give Notice Dont give notice to your current employer until you have a firm job offer and you have accepted it. Id wait, as well, until your references have been checked and you have a start date scheduled. It does happen, on occasion, that an employer  withdraws a job offer. You dont want that to happen and end up with no job at all. Quitting Your Job If youre careful, you can leave your old job and move to a new one without alienating your managers and colleagues. Giving adequate notice and offering to help with the transition that will arise from your departure work  well for avoiding hard feelings when you quit. Heres  how to resign gracefully  from your job. The Bottom Line KEEP YOUR JOB SEARCH SECRET: Don’t give your current employer reason to fire you by telling them that you intend to find a new job with a different organization. Conduct your search, if possible, outside the office, using your personal phone number and a non-work-related email account.BE DISCREET ONLINE: Be careful what you share on social media about your desire to find a new job. Should this information get back to your supervisor or co-workers, questions will be asked about your intentions and you may find that your current job is suddenly in jeopardy.WAIT TO GIVE NOTICE: Don’t give notice to your current employer until you have a firm job offer in hand, with a scheduled starting date for your new position. If possible, negotiate with your new employer so that you can provide your current supervisor with the standard two weeks’ notice.

4 Career Lessons I Learned from Gymnastics

4 Career Lessons I Learned from Gymnastics 4 Career Lessons I Learned from Gymnastics Every time the summer Olympics roll around, I look forward to watching one event in particular: women’s gymnastics. When I was young I dreamed of becoming an Olympic gymnast, and I participated in competitive gymnastics for five years. When I quit at 12 years old, it was one of the hardest decisions of my life at the time.And even though I never earned an Olympic gold, thanks to my gymnastics training, I gained plenty of important lessons that I’ve carried with me throughout my not-so-athletic career. Check out the valuable lessons you can learn from this well-loved Olympic sport.You Always Need to Warm Up Gymnasts know that they must warm up before a workout to make sure they don’t injure themselves, and they need to stretch to gain the necessary flexibility to perform their tricks. And while we don’t have to do 20 jumping jacks or hold the splits for 30 seconds before showing up at the office, we do have to mentally warm up and stretch to keep ourselves sharp.What sort of t hings are warm ups for work? Think about how you jumpstart your brain in the morning, what inspires you to pursue new projects, or what tricks you use to get yourself out of a rut. Sometimes, I’ll stare at a blank computer screen all day, trying to come up with an ad design- and I’ve come to realize that usually means I haven’t warmed up properly. I’ve found that checking out some design blogs or doing some scrapbooking over the weekend are good and effective ways to prepare me for design tasks in the office.You Can’t Stick Every LandingSometimes, gymnasts wobble on the balance beam, face-plant off the bars, and misplace their feet during a tumbling pass on the floor. But gymnasts know that you can’t stick every landing- and that it’s what you do after you fall that’s important. Instead of dwelling on the misstep, gymnasts work even harder to finish off the routine perfectly, and then spend hours in the gym after the competition figuring out how to not make the mista ke again.The same is true in your career. You will mess up sometimes- it’s a fact of life! Accepting that you will make mistakes- and focusing on learning from them when you do- will change your own missteps from negative experiences to positive ways to improve your skills.Even if You're Talented, You Still Need to PracticeSome people are just naturally gifted, and others get where they are through sheer determination. To be an Olympic gymnast or achieve success in your career, you must have both. Even the most talented gymnasts spend the majority of their time in the gym working to get better. When I was competing in gymnastics, I was in the gym 5 days a week for 4-hour practices. That’s right, they gave us 10-year-olds the “light” schedule of 20 hours per week! For competitive-level gymnasts, practicing is more than a full-time job.So, even if you’re a naturally gifted- say, at public speaking- you still have to put in the time to polish your skills. That means practicin g in front of the mirror, asking for constructive criticism, and attending seminars to learn from other experts. Raw talent doesn’t mean you can rest on your laurels- it means that you’ve got a competitive edge when you decide to work hard.Success Takes TimeashTheGymnastParents of Olympians recall their 5-year-olds spending hours at the gym, and gymnasts themselves detail practices before and after school that mean 40+ hour weeks. They work for ten years climbing the ladder from district champion, to national champion, and ultimately, to Olympic athlete.And just as gymnasts don’t jump into the sport earning medals (or even competing for them), you won’t be at the top of your field until you’ve put in the time and work. You’ll work your way up from an entry-level employee doing grunt work to being a division manager with a team of your own- but like gymnasts, you’ll need 10 years of experience in your field to achieve that fancy title. Particularly when you’re early i n your career, it can be easy to feel like you’re not going anywhere. But by keeping your eye on the prize and continuing to put in time and practice, you will earn your shot at the gold.Gymnastics was a great experience for me when I was young, and I continue to see the sport’s influence my life. From good posture during presentations to my core strength while lugging a backpack across my MBA campus to these career lessons, I’ve carried the things I’ve learned from gymnastics with me throughout my life.Photo courtesy of Raphael Goetter.

This is what the most successful people do before bed every night

This is what the most successful people do before bed every night This is what the most successful people do before bed every night Before going to bed, there’s a nightly ritual that successful business leaders like Arianna Huffington, Oprah Winfrey, and Sheryl Sandberg do to prepare for their workdays. It doesn’t involve fancy gadgets or time-consuming, prohibitively-expensive life hacks. All you need to do to prepare like a successful leader is to learn how to count your blessings at night and practice gratitude.Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, for example, says she writes down three moments of personal joy, a practice she started last  January following the death of her husband.“I used to go to bed every night thinking  about what  I did wrong and what I was going  to do wrong the next day.  Now I go to sleep thinking of what went right,” Sandberg  said, describing how this practice has transformed her life.These moments of personal joy don’t have to be extraordinary.Media mogul Oprah Winfrey said she kept a nightly gratitude journal for a decade straight in the midst of building her television network. It tracked small and big victories such as “eating cold melon on a bench in the sun,” “a run around Florida’s Fisher Island with a slight breeze that kept me cool,” and “Maya Angelou calling to read me a new poem.”Reminding yourself to be thankful forces you to stay present and aware of the world around you instead of getting stuck on your failures and hiccups. It keeps you looking forward. “You radiate and generate more goodness for yourself when you’re aware of all you have and not focusing on your have-nots,” Winfrey said about why she does it.The science behind why gratitude worksMultiple studies also back up how gratitude can boost our well-being and improve our moods. A 2011 study published in  Applied Psychology: Health and Well-Being found that taking just 15 minutes out of every evening to write a gratitude journal helped students quiet their minds and sleep longer and better.Gratitude not only helps us sleep at night, it also prepares to face each work day in the best possible mindset. A study in the  Journal of Research in Personality found that people who practice gratitude were less prone to depressive episodes. They were able to block toxic emotions like envy, resentment, and regret with the force of these small yet strong moments of grateful thinking.We are an anxious species that needs these positive reminders.  Our brains are engineered to remember what’s wrong, to obsess over mistakes, because we evolved as humans to remember quickly from our failures for our survival, as clinical psychologist Rick Hanson argues in his book “Hardwiring Happiness.”Ultimately, nightly gratitude works because it rewires your stressed brain to end its day on a high note. It teaches your mind to pay attention and take pleasure in the small wins of life, so that the journeys of life are as joyous as its finish lines.

What to Do When Youre the Least-Experienced at Work -The Muse

What to Do When Youre the Least-Experienced at Work -The Muse What to Do When Youre the Least-Experienced at Work You just started a new job and you’re so excited. There’s just one catch: You’re clearly the least experienced person on the team. Maybe you’re the youngest, or maybe you’ve changed careers, or maybe you just made an internal transfer. Whatever the scenario, everyone around you knows their work like the back of their hand, leaving you feeling like you’re lagging behind. While that’s not the most comforting or enjoyable feeling, the fact is you’ll face challenges specific to having less experience. But since you know that, you can be prepared for- and address- the four most common issues. 1. Challenge: You Have Imposter Syndrome When you learn co-workers have a lot more experience than you, your first thought might be, “OMG they made a huge mistake hiring me.” But, unless you lied on your resume (in which case, yes, it was a huge mistake), your new employer knows you’re new to this kind of work. And they decided to hire you anyways. That means they see great potential in you, and believe you can do this. (It’s true: They’re not going to put their neck on the line for someone they think’ll fail.) Solution The first step is for you to believe in yourself, too. You’re here because you threw your hat in the ring- and probably put in a lot of legwork applying. So, reconnect with the ambitious self that thought you should go out and apply for this role. What did you argue made you qualified? Lean on those traits! Second, if you notice anything you feel especially nervous about, see if you can’t bolster those skills. Take a class or reach out to a new colleague or a networking contact and ask how to develop the skill you feel you’re lacking. 2. Challenge: You Think You Know it All Some people fall on the other side of the spectrum, and this challenge threatens to derail you even more, because it’s harder to self-diagnose. Maybe you know you’re the least experienced, but you think “I got this!” and therefore have zero interest in listening to others, learning from their prior experiences, or asking for help. As you can imagine, this can hurt you in many ways. First, you don’t have the benefit of institutional knowledge. Maybe your idea is brilliant- and that’s why someone pitched it six months ago, only to see it fall flat for an unforeseen reason. But you won’t be able to learn from that, if you steamroll their feedback. Second, it’s not going to gain you many friends. Often, there’s a degree of paying your dues when you’re new. While it’s not always the most stimulating work, it can go a long way to garnering respect among your colleagues and making you look like a team player. Solution By all means, be confident and share your ideas- but don’t confuse that with acting like you’re the smartest person in the room. One of the best things you can do is work on your listening skills. During a brainstorming session, don’t aim to be the first one to speak. Instead, listen to what your colleagues have to say and see if you can support, build on, or ask to learn more about their ideas. Additionally, ask for help and feedback, instead of going it alone and guessing. Admitting you don’t have all the answers not only makes you more approachable, but it makes people more likely to trust you when you say you know what you’re talking about. 3. Challenge: You Catch All the Low-Level Tasks Some grunt work is par for the course. It may even be useful- giving you a foundation so you’ll understand higher-level tasks that you’re going to be assigned in the near future. However, you don’t want to be taken advantage of, and some people can tend to “dump” meaningless tasks on less-experienced colleagues. While you want to be seen as someone with a good attitude, you don’t want these tasks to distract from your actual job. Solution The best way to handle this challenge is to use open communication. Talk to your boss about the reality of balancing these annoying to-do’s with your other work. Ask her to help you prioritize your task list, and if she can share how these tasks add value to the team or your future work. If you have colleagues who keep asking you to pitch in, see if you can use these assignments as an entry point to more engaging work. Say, “I’m happy to help with [x], and I’m also able to [y] and would love to make a larger contribution to the project…” 4. Challenge: You Need More Time Phrases like “get up to speed” and “catch up” are time-related for a reason. As you know, you’ll be more efficient at a task the 10th time you do it- and even more so the 100th time. But your co-workers may forget that the database isn’t intuitive, or that, before all of the shortcuts are committed to memory, you’ll have to keep clicking in and out and cross-referencing. If you aren’t allowed enough time, you’re in a perpetual state of scrambling. Solution This challenge has an easy fix, because there’s no shame in wanting to get things right- or being new. So, often all you need is to give a simple reminder: Say, “I’m new to [whatever’s taking you a while]. Do you have any suggestions for how I could do [process] faster?” Then, ask if, in the meantime, you could have extra time for that task- stressing that you want to do it correctly. This’ll also give them a chance to tell you if time’s a factor and they’d rather have it done than perfect. You’ve leapt to the next level and now are feeling a little out of your league. Take heart that’s how it feels at the beginning. But soon enough, time will pass, someone new will be hired, and they’ll be coming to you with questions.

How to speak up and advocate for your accomplishments at work

How to speak up and advocate for your accomplishments at work How to speak up and advocate for your accomplishments at work Just because you’re an introvert doesn’t mean you don’t have a lot to offer your workplace.Here’s how to advocate for yourself in the office when you’re not the most outgoing employee in the bunch.Show your enthusiasm when you talkCIO Magazine features an article about how “shy people” like those in IT can get better at “self-promotion,” with commentary from career coach Curt Rosengren, who used to work in tech.“The hang-up most people have with self-promotion has to do with the fact that they don’t like to talk about themselves, particularly in the context of greatness. So it’s helpful to think of self-promotion not as talking about yourself, but as talking about your work. And if you’re enthusiastic about your work, self-promotion becomes that much easier, notes Curt Rosengren, the career coach. ‘If you’re talking about a technology or project that you’re passionate about, the self-promotion becomes a byproduct of the passion,’ he says.”Assume a roleAn article in The Cut about how “self-conscious” people can get better at “self-promotion” includes the tip, “pretend you’re playing a part.” The piece features advice from Ellen Hendriksen, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist and the author of How to Be Yourself. After she talks in detail about entering a role, the article continues:“It’s a nice way of tricking yourself into doing something you don’t want to do. But after the fact, remember to look back, and to mentally stitch those two selves back together. ‘If you look back and you’re like, Huh, I just gave a talk to 500 people. Hmm. Maybe I can do that,’ Hendriksen said, this can be a sort of backward route to self-confidence. ‘By watching yourself do it, you start to believe you can do it. It’s thinking, Okay, maybe now I can give a talk, o r be on stage. Not just me in this role, but me, as myself. But I think that only happens in hindsight.’ ”Show off what you’re good atStephanie Peterson, co-founder of PhotoFeeler.com, writes in The Muse that introverts should “identify (and flaunt) your quiet strengths.”“Once you’ve recognized what your strengths are, try to find ways to call attention to them in the office. For me, that simply meant saying out loud what I was already thinking. I’ve always preferred reading non-fiction at home to crowded social events on the weekends, but during conversation with acquaintances and colleagues, I neglected to voice the references that came to mind. It wasn’t until opening up that I gained a reputation as a trusty source of thoughtful, interesting information.”

Expanded U.S. News Part-time Rankings

Expanded U.S. News Part-time Rankings Expanded U.S. News Part-time Rankings To add to its ranking the country's full-time undergraduate, MBA and law school programs, U.S. News & World Report recently announced that it plans to flesh out the newest category of their rankings: part-time JD and MBA programs. While a school's part-time program was considered in the overall evaluation of a graduate school prior to the 2009 rankings (the first year the PT rankings appeared), these PT programs will now be ranked separately using a new, more advanced system. According to Bob Morse, U.S. News' director of data research, the magazine decided to make the part-time rankings more robust using new, separate survey tools because of the interest in part-time programs, as well as the high number of part-time school reviews already collected. Using a peer review survey, faculty and members of the administration will rate part-time programs on a scale from one to five. Ninety-nine part-time law programs will be evaluated based on these peer reviews, as well as additional cr iteria that may include entering students' LSAT scores and undergraduate GPAs, the program's acceptance rate, academic offerings and student activities. Part-time programs at 314 MBA schools will be ranked solely on these surveys. (For 2009, part-time programs were previously ranked by asking graduate school officials to select their pick of the top programs. Law school officials were asked to choose their top 15, while business schools were asked for their top 10.)While U.S. News' rankings of academic programs can be helpful to students during the admissions process, research by the ABA and LSAC has shown that these lists often take a school's attention away from academics and instead cause them to focus their time and financial resources on improving their rank. For example, the George Washington University Law School reacted to its drop in the rankings (from 20th to 28th) by accepting fewer part-time students as a way to increase their acceptance rate. We have yet to see how other schools will react to the fuller part-time rankings, though they probably won't be happy.-Posted by Rebecca Zissou
