By the time you reach adulthood, you should have a better grasp on what’s appropriate and inappropriate behavior.

Unfortunately, it seems many of us don’t wanna grow up – or at least are still having some trouble mastering skills like maturity and patience. According to JobSeeko research, about 3 in 4 employees have witnessed some type of childish behavior among colleagues in the workplace, including:

  • Whining: 55 percent
  • Pouting over something that didn’t go his/her way: 46 percent
  • Tattling on another co-worker: 44 percent
  • Making a face behind someone’s back: 35 percent

Now, we’re all human. We all do something a little immature every now and again. But if childish behaviors go on long enough to become habits, they could be a serious risk to your career. Some habits to avoid include:

1. Not respecting common areas

Shared kitchens or bathrooms at the office are great, and you should feel comfortable taking advantage of them when need be. But always keep in mind that they’re not there just for you alone.

“No one wants to be branded as the person who leaves rancid food in the fridge for weeks, or who takes the carpool spot after driving in alone or who is always late to a meeting and holds up the team,” says Darchelle Nass, Senior Vice President, Human Resources and Administrative at Addison Group.

If you want to avoid earning an unfavorable reputation, Nass suggests doing a little planning. “In the common spaces, respect the rules of the road. If you have trouble remembering to bring food items home, set a task to remind you at the end of the day each week. Plan to arrive a few minutes earlier in the morning and consider co-workers’ schedules and time as much as your own. Being prompt and respectful of co-workers’ times will land you an edge up.”

2. Being unhelpful

One of the most central factors in an individual’s perceived maturity is their ability to see things from other people’s points of view. If you’re not willing to go above and beyond to help your teammates, not only are you keeping your team from achieving its potential – you’re also showcasing your own immaturity.

“One of the most common bad habits I see in the workplace is a ‘not my problem’ attitude. People with this attitude shirk responsibilities outside of their specific assignments and place their own goals above others’, including their teams’ and even their organizations’. They aren’t team players and help others only when it clearly benefits themselves as well,” says Christopher K. Lee, founder and career consultant at PurposeRedeemed. “It’s easy to see how this type of behavior won’t win many friends. These individuals are seen as self-centered, short-sighted, unhelpful and inconsiderate.”

3. Blaming others

Everyone makes mistakes, and you’re likely to make a few throughout your career. When something goes wrong or doesn’t quite pan out as expected, you may feel tempted to point the finger in someone else’s direction. That’s a bad idea.

“This is a quick way to burn bridges. People will think you cannot be trusted and will avoid giving you work. No one will ask you for a favor if they think you’ll turn on them. The workplace is about supporting each other, and blaming others is the antithesis of that,” says Jason Patel, former career ambassador at the George Washington University and the founder of Transizion, a college and career prep company that is focused on closing the opportunity divide in America.

4. Not being prepared in meetings

Nobody likes meetings – particularly unproductive meetings. If you show up for a meeting without taking some time in advance to prepare, you slow down the process and earn the ire of everyone present.

“Often new employees will arrive to a meeting with no intention of walking away with actionable items for themselves or others,” says Scott Fish, founder of 32° Digital Marketing. “If you are running the meeting, set the expectation that people should come prepared to provide input, delegate and recognize their own valuable input that can be made on a project.”

5. Gossiping

Great teams are built on trust and respect, and there are few ways to erode that foundation more quickly than by spreading rumors and talking negatively about co-workers behind their back.

“People love to talk in the workspace because it makes the day go by quicker, but if those conversations veer toward the gossip side it will crater your perception in the workplace. There is a big difference between being the friendly co-worker who is always good for a quick chat and the sneaky troublemaker constantly spreading rumors,” says Justin Hussong, the founder of Heat Checks, a new sports/travel publication.

“People will eventually catch on, and your words will find their way back to you. If you care about your job and want to get ahead, you don’t want to give the impression that you’re trying to cut others down for your own benefit. It suggests that you’re not a team player and is never a good idea.”

In some cases, a little immaturity can be a harmless way to let off some steam, and can even help co-workers bond. Maintaining your “inner child” is generally considered a good thing – but that doesn’t mean you should let your inner child take the wheel, especially when the result can be damaging to your career.

Why and how to share resumes and other hiring docs as links https://jobseeko.com/uncategorized/why-and-how-to-share-resumes-and-other-hiring-docs-as-links/ https://jobseeko.com/uncategorized/why-and-how-to-share-resumes-and-other-hiring-docs-as-links/#respond Fri, 22 May 2020 21:45:10 +0000 https://jobseeko.com/?p=20293 Did you know they were originally invented by a researcher who dreamed of receiving pictures of his grandchildren by email?

The extension he and his fellow researcher wrote back in 1992, called the Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension, is still in use today every time you attach a document to your email.

The ubiquity of email attachments, however, unfortunately makes it a popular target for scammers, spammers and outright bad actors. But if you know a few tips and can identify and mitigate the risks below, you will dramatically increase your online security — both in email and in other messaging systems you use in your job search.

“Some characteristics that make email attachments convenient and popular also make them a common tool for attackers,” says the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), listing the following reasons:

  • Email is easily circulated — Forwarding email is so simple that viruses can quickly infect many machines. Most viruses do not even require users to forward the email — they scan a users’ mailbox for email addresses and automatically send the infected message to all of the addresses they find. Attackers take advantage of the reality that most users will automatically trust and open a message that comes from someone they know.
  • Email programs try to address all users’ needs — Almost any type of file can be attached to an email message, so attackers have more freedom with the types of viruses they can send.
  • Email programs offer many “user-friendly” features — Some email programs have the option to automatically download email attachments, which immediately exposes your computer to viruses within the attachments.


For these reasons, many organizations place advanced filters and restrictions on their email systems, which can cause delayed delivery or an outright block of your email with your important resume and other hiring docs attached.

One simple way to avoid such delays and blocks — and increase your online security while you’re at it — is to convert your would-be attachments to links and paste them into the body of your message rather than attaching them as you might normally do when sending documents or images to a trusted friend or colleague.

Not to mention how much easier it is to share your documents on the go from your mobile device.

This article shares some of the most popular free services for converting your resume and other hiring documents into links that can then be shared safely and securely virtually anywhere online.

Pro tip: Some of these services even allow you to track the number of clicks your links receive. You can use this tracking to know how many times your document was clicked or shared, and sometimes even when it was clicked and who clicked it. Alternatively, you can use a free link-shortening and tracking service like the popular Bitly to shorten and track your links. Simply create your document link using one of the below file-management services, then paste that link into Bitly’s free service to get a short, trackable link you can share virtually anywhere online.

Here are some of the popular options.

Apple iCloud

Specifically for Apple customers, iCloud is built natively into every iOS device. That means you can use the Files app on your Apple device to manage all of your stuff — photos, files, notes and more — and share them as links with other non-iCloud users. All iCloud accounts get 5 GB of free storage to start. Individual files sizes are bound only by your available storage.

For mobile access, use the Files app that comes on your device.

Box

Box offers a free “Individual” account that gives you 10 GB of storage and supports individual file uploads up to 250 MB in size.

Box has a free mobile app for Android and iOS.

Dropbox

Not to be confused with Box, Dropbox offers a free “Basic” account that gives you 2 GB of storage. Though files uploaded to dropbox.com must be 50 GB or smaller, you can upload files of any size via the mobile apps, as long as they do not exceed your total storage limit.

Dropbox has a free mobile app for Android and iOS.

Google Drive

Google Drive offers a free “Personal” account that gives you 15 GB of storage. Most standard document file type uploads are limited to 50 MB, though other document file type uploads, such as presentation slides, are limited to 100 MB.

Google Drive has a free mobile app for Android and iOS.

How to explain being fired to potential employers https://jobseeko.com/uncategorized/how-to-explain-being-fired-to-potential-employers/ https://jobseeko.com/uncategorized/how-to-explain-being-fired-to-potential-employers/#respond Fri, 22 May 2020 21:37:37 +0000 https://jobseeko.com/?p=20289 Job interviews are stressful under the best of circumstances. So if you’ve been fired, your nerves will likely go into overdrive, especially when they ask the inevitable question: “Why were you fired?”

Just as you prepare answers for other common interview questions, it’s important to prepare an answer for this one. Rehearsing some go-to phrases will help you craft a professional answer during your interview.

Here are some tips to help you explain a termination to a potential employer.

Honesty is the best policy
Review the incident or issue that caused you to lose your job with an unbiased eye. Were you let go because of a conflict with a co-worker? Honestly evaluate your role in the clash. Did you fail to meet production quotas? Ask yourself whether it was due to a lack of effort or lack of affinity for the work you were doing. Before you can answer your potential employer honestly, you need to be clear-eyed with yourself.

When addressing your termination with your interviewer, don’t try to position it as a layoff or any other less serious situation. Even if you’ve relocated to a new city for a fresh start, your employer will find out the truth. Be truthful in a way that reflects on you as favorably as possible.

Don’t bash your old boss
You want to portray yourself as a valuable addition to their team. One way to raise an instant red flag is to speak negatively about the last person who offered you a job.

Perhaps even more important, don’t gossip about your last boss, your co-workers or the company you worked for. Besides showing a lack of maturity and discretion, gossiping is a strong sign that you’ll be a divisive employee.

Don’t pass the blame
Along with bashing, blaming is a bad way to go. Your potential new employer wants to see that you take responsibility both for your past actions and for your performance on the job. No matter how unfairly you felt you were treated at your old job, you must recognize and accept your role in your termination.

This doesn’t mean you need to give major details about what you did wrong in your previous position, though. Just make sure at some point you say, “I take responsibility for not performing up to my boss’s expectations,” and move on.

Stick to the point
A big mistake candidates make when answering this question is trying to explain every nuance of the situation. Don’t spend five minutes setting up the circumstances around your termination. Cut to the chase and keep it simple.

If you were terminated because you had an attendance problem, for example, don’t go on and on about your sick grandma, your chiropractor appointments or any other life situation that caused you to miss work. Instead, say something like, “I let personal circumstances interfere with my attendance at work. My situation is stable now and attendance won’t be a problem.”

Don’t sound bitter
You’ll make yourself unattractive to a potential employer if you come across bitter and defeated. Even if you think your previous employer was wrong to let you go, showing bitterness only makes you look bad.

Don’t use language that emphasizes a past failure. Speak in ways that minimizes the impact of your termination.

Explain what you’ve learned
Including a “lessons learned” sentence in your answer shows potential employers you’re aware and adaptable. It turns a negative into an asset. It also demonstrates candor and maturity by letting your interviewer see that you are objective about your shortcomings and learn from past experiences.

Promote your positives
It’s difficult to turn talk of your termination into a way to showcase your skills and experience. Learning to segue gracefully into a discussion of your value to the company is an effective way to keep your interview on track.

Try transitioning with a phrase like this: “I was sorry to leave Company X; I learned a lot about the app development lifecycle there, which is why I thought my skills were well suited to this position.”

Practice makes perfect
Getting fired is an emotional experience, and it’s hard to talk objectively and calmly even weeks or months after the event. Practicing your answer helps you keep emotions at bay so you don’t derail your interview.

Start by writing your response down; put it away, then come back to it a day later and read it again. If you are satisfied with your written answer, try it out on an objective friend or family member. Weigh their criticisms and tweak it if necessary.

Once you’re completely satisfied with your answer, commit it to memory. Practice it in front of a mirror several times. Once you’re comfortable with your answer and you’ve internalized it, you’ll be able to speak naturally about your termination with your interviewer.

Are post-interview thank-you notes still a thing? https://jobseeko.com/uncategorized/are-post-interview-thank-you-notes-still-a-thing/ https://jobseeko.com/uncategorized/are-post-interview-thank-you-notes-still-a-thing/#respond Fri, 22 May 2020 21:34:04 +0000 https://jobseeko.com/?p=20286 In a world where you can search and apply for jobs, build your resume and even interview for jobs from the palm of your hand, something as mundane and low-tech as sending a post-interview thank-you note may seem downright antiquated.

In addition to its relevance, you might also question a thank-you note’s purpose. After all, if you’re the best candidate for the job, you should get an offer no matter what, right? While it’s true that even the most well-crafted thank-you note won’t make up for the fact that you lack a key skill needed for the job, it’s worth noting that most recruiters and hiring managers still expect a thank-you note from candidates. Not only that, but receiving one can also affect their decision-making process about a candidate.

So considering the fact that 57 percent of job candidates don’t send thank-you notes, taking that extra step can set you apart considerably in the eyes of hiring managers. All things being equal, if it were to come down to you and one other candidate, sending a thank-you note could give you the edge you need to win the job.

When it comes to sending thank-you notes, however, you need to go about it the right way in order to make sure it counts. Use the following tips to craft a thank-you note interviewers will be grateful for.

Do’s and don’ts for sending thank-you notes

Don’t wait. Send your thank-you notes out ASAP, at least within 24 hours. These days, it’s perfectly acceptable to send an email – especially if the company is looking to hire someone quickly.

Do go beyond saying “thank you.” Use your note as an opportunity to reiterate your interest in the role and why you’d be a great fit, as well as add something you didn’t get a chance to say during the interview. You may even consider including a link to your online portfolio or professional social media pages.

Don’t write a novel. Your thank-you note doesn’t need to be any longer than a few sentences. In fact, the shorter it is, the more likely the recipient will be to read it.

Do be sincere. One of the worst mistakes you can make with a thank-you note is sending a generic note that lacks any genuine gratitude or sincerity. Give a personal touch to your note by mentioning something you learned during the interview or really enjoyed discussing. By that same token…

Don’t send a group email. If you interviewed with multiple people, email each of them individually, with a customized message. It’s likely they will compare notes, and if they discover that you simply copied and pasted the same message for each person, it could come across as lazy and impersonal.

Don’t overthink it. A recent study published in the journal Psychological Science found that people often overestimate how harshly the literal elements of their thank-you note will be judged. While you do want to proofread your note to for spelling and grammatical errors, remember that it’s just a thank-you note – not the “State of the Union” address.

Your thank-you note may be your last chance to leave a positive, lasting impression on the hiring manager. At worst, it’s five minutes of your life you’ll never get back. At best, it could be that extra bit of effort that sets you apart from the rest of the candidates.
