What Career Should an INFP Choose

What Career Should an INFP ChooseWhat Career Should an INFP ChooseHave you found out that your personality type is INFP (standing for Introversion (I), Intuition (N), Feeling (F), Perception)? Perhaps you learned youre an INFP from a career counselor after he or she administered the Myers Briggs font Indicator (MBTI) or maybe you determined it yourself after reading about psychiatrist Carl Jungs personality theory. If youve never heard of Carl Jung and his personality theory or the MBTI, heres some background. The MBTI is based on Jungs theory, and it is often used to help people make career-related decisions. Career experts believe that knowing what your personality type is can help you choose a career that suits you and lead you toward the right work environment. In a nutshell, experts use this utensil to help you learn what your true personality type is and what career will make you happiest. According to the theory behind the MBTI, your personality type is made up of your prefere nces for how you do things, how you feel energized, how you perceive information, how you make decisions, and (in general) how you live your life. Individuals energize through Introversion (I) or Extroversion (E), perceive information through Sensing (S) or Intuition (N), make decisions by Thinking (T) or Feeling (F), and live their lives by Judging (J) or Perceiving (P). Jungtheorized that while we each exhibit aspects of both preferences in eachpair, we display one preference more strongly than the other. The four-letter code assigned to your personality typeis derived by putting together the four letters that correspond to your stronger preferences. Heres a deeper look at what your particular four-letter code means. What Each INFP Letter of Your Personality Type Code Means IYou prefer introversion. In other words, things within yourself, such as your thoughts and ideas, are what energizes you. You tend to be quiet and reserved. This could mean you dont like to risk interacti ng enough with others.N You process information using intuition, or insight. You dont have to have physical evidence of something to know it exists. You consider future possibilities and look for patterns in details to see how they affect the big picture. If a new opportunity emerges, you are inclined to take advantage of it. FYour feelings and personal values guide your decisions. If you feel strongly about something, you may not consider the consequences. You are a caring person who is adept at understanding others.P You are flexible and spontaneous, and you tend to take life as it comes. You are curious and you want to be able to explore. This means you arent much of a planner and often deadlines approach more quickly than anticipated- this might leave you rushing to schliff projects on time. Its important to realize that these are only your preferences- they arent set in stone. While you may prefer to energize, process information, make decisions or have a particular lifestyle, you can change how you do things if necessary. In addition, your preferences can change as you mature in life. Consider Your Personality Type When Making Career-Related Decisions Knowing your personality type can help you make career-related decisions including career choices. You should also take your personality type into account when deciding whether a particular work environment is right for you. Working in a high-powered finance job on Wall Street is quite different than working for a non-profit environmental group. Even though all the letters in your code are significant, when it comes to career choice, the middle two letters are the most important. Your middle letters N and F indicate that you should look for occupations that let you develop and implement new ideas. This would let you take advantage of your preference for looking toward the future- and the possibilities that exist there. Because your feelings and values are important, you may be well-suited for a career a s a psychologist, mental health counselor, librarian, interpreter or translator, dietitian, physical therapist, occupational therapist,teacher, actor, graphic designer, social worker, orwriter and editor. You should consider your preferences for I (introversion) and P (perceiving), especially when evaluating work environments. As someone who experiences motivation from within yourself, you would probably enjoy working independently- perhaps as a freelancer or in a full-time remote job. Be attentive to your need for flexibility and your difficulty with meeting deadlines. If you pick an occupation that is typically oriented toward having to meet constant deadlines (like a media expert or publicist) that would present a challenge for you.

Virtual Builds Become Actual Reality

Virtual Builds Become Actual Reality Virtual Builds Become Actual Reality Virtual Builds Become Actual RealityTheres something unnatural about the way people cobble together products and prototypes in the digital age. Building things destined for three dimensions in a two-dimensional medium can make the process needlessly complex and counterintuitive. But if you want an object to exist as a file first, theres currently no other way.Thats about to change. Thanks to the people behind MakeVR, designers, architects, sculptors, and makers of all kinds, will soon be able to get into their objects as never before. The coming onslaught of virtual reality technology isnt just for gamers.MakeVR is, in essence, a program built on a CAD engine that will run on any of the virtually reality platforms soon to hit the market. With it, workers in 3D will be able to submerge themselves in a space where they can work with any conceivable digital tool to build any conceivable element. Using the saatkorn kind of gestures weve all quickly learned on smart screensswiping, zooming, scrollingdesigners of any level of professionalism will cavort around their creations with ease. With either hand you can grab any point in space and move it in any direction, says Steve Hansted, MakeVRs product manager. You can walk your way through the environment, you can climb a rope with two hands, you can grab, rotate, and scale your environment up or down. Those simple navigation metaphors allow you to very rapidly do whatever you want.Model renderings and 3D printed output. Image SixenseSince its essentially a CAD program, MakeVR comes with all the usual CAD tools, allowing users to work as precise and as detailed as they need tobut with much greater speed. Traditional tools have very steep learning curves, and there are deep menu based items. It takes a long time to learn to use them and once you do youre still relegated to work in the same standard 2D environment, using mouse and keyboard to rotat e and navigate, says Hansted. Its not intuitive. With MakeVR you are working at all times in 3D. The learning curve is so much easier, especially if you have no modeling experience. Hansted estimates that, even for experienced modelers, a task like grabbing a cylindrical object and sticking it in a circular hole is nine times faster in MakeVR than it is with a keyboard and mouse.Its so much easier that complete newbies have been able to slide on a pair of VR goggles and start building within minutes. Children that visited one conference and tried MakeVR got to work as if theyd been handed a box of blocks. It was kind of stunning, says Hansted. Young kids are raised on 2D multi-touch. I would just hand them the controllers and stand backthey would just start pushing buttons till something happened. Watching the kids in there, it was frightening, it was just that natural.The first big market likely to adopt MakeVR is3D printing. The printers are priced for, and targeted to, the everym anwho usually doesnt have any skills in CAD. With MakeVR it may take longer for the average Joe to print an object than to build it. But game makers, whose 3D worlds stay digital, are also likely to take to the technology like virtual fish in virtual water.More traditional prototypers are likely to jump in too. With MakeVR, multiple designers and can be working on the same project in the same virtual space. And models can be shared with clients from afar, with every detail, in and out, up for scrutiny. Alterations, of course, can be made on the fly.With VR technology only just now springing on the scene, its hard to know just how big of an impact it will have on the world of design. Once engineers get their heads in VR goggles on a regular basis, the program is sure to evolve to meet their needs. The way things are progressing right now, I cant image whats two years down the road, says Hansted. 10 years down the road Im sure well all have chips in our head.Michael Abrams is an indep endent writer.Learn more about the latest technologies in 3D printing at ASMEs AM3D Conference Expo For Further DiscussionWith MakeVR you are working at all times in 3D. The learning curve is so much easier, especially if you have no modeling experience.Steve Hansted, product manager, MakeVR

Careers in Sales - Medical Device Sales Professional

Careers in Sales - Medical Device Sales ProfessionalCareers in Sales - Medical Device Sales ProfessionalTake a stroll through any hospital and look at the incredible number and variations of devices you see. During your next doctors sekretariat visit, try to count how many medical devices you pass on your walk from the waiting room to the examination room. When youre done counting, realize that every device that you saw, counted, wondered if it is going to be used on you and then questioned about its purpose, came to its location as the result of a sale taking place. And unless people stop getting sick, old or injured, those ausverkauf will continue well into the future. 1099 or W2 The number of medical device manufacturers is enormous. Some manufacture just one specific device and some manufacture hundreds of devices. There are those who design, build and sell multimillion-dollar pieces of equipment, and others make medical-grade cotton swabs. The variations are seemingly endles s as are the ways their sales professionals earn their income. In general, sales reps who sell medical devices are either independent sales professionals or full-time, W2-receiving employees. For those interested in starting a career in medical device sales, expect to find a fairly even split between those positions that are 1099 based and those that require that you are a company employee. Unless you are only comfortable working with a commission plan that includes a combination of salary and commissions, your main focus should be on finding a company that pays a high percentage of commissions, based on either gross profit or number of devices sold. Manufacturers or Distributors When looking for a sales career in the medical device industry, your search will be focused on either working directly for the manufacturer or a distributor. Both have advantages and benefits, and both have potential drawbacks. Working for a Manufacturer The main benefit of working directly for a me dical device manufacturer is pricing. Since the company makes whatever device you are selling, they have the greatest flexibility in pricing. Another advantage is direct name branding. Lets say that you have a job selling MRI machines that are made by XYZ corporation and you are involved in a competitive sales cycle at a large hospital. Your competitor is also selling the same MRI machine, manufactured by your company, but they work for a distributor. Not only will you be able to get more aggressive with pricing support levels, but since you represent the manufacturing company, the decision makers at the hospital will, most likely, feel more comfortable buying from you than from your competitor. There are several disadvantages to consider as well. The main being your limited portfolio of products. Distributors usually have more than one line that they represent, allowing them to match their proposed product to a customers needs better. Working for a Distributor Distributors hav e arrangements, usually with several manufacturers, to sell their products. Depending on their commitment levels, they receive pricing support levels which allow them to sell the device for a profit. Typical support levels range from 10% to 40% discounted pricing. What this means is that a registered distributor can buy a device from a manufacturer for 10, 20, 30 or 40% less than the published MSRP (Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price.) Most distributors expect to earn their profit not on the sales of devices but on value-added services. Installation or inventory management are two common value-adds that bring profit to distributors. As a sales rep working for a distributor, you should make sure that you can earn commission on both the sale of the device as well as on any additional services sold. If not, youll need to determine if the market to which you will be selling will support margin levels that are high enough for you to earn the income that you desire. You will also need t o determine how many competitors, including the possibility of competing against manufacturer reps, that you will be competing against. Lastly, it is important to understand how many different manufacturers you will be representing and how many different devices you will be able to sell. More is not necessarily better, but more is better than not enough No matter how many you sell, you need to be the subject matter expert on the device or devices you sell. If you sell a product youre not very familiar with, you probably wont sell many devices

Heres what I learned when I moved back home at age 30

Heres what I learned when I moved back home at age 30Heres what I learned when I moved back home at age 30Turning 30 welches a terrifying reality for me.Id always been one of those ambitious Type A planners who had countless checklists of career goals and clear milestones of where I had to be by 30 - only to find when I got there that all that welches, well, words on paper. At 30, I welches working in Los Angeles in the entertainment industry in business operations - and at 30, Id also realized that my career was heading down a road I had no desire to travel.So I started applying and interviewing for companies. Some interviews didnt pan out. Others, I intentionally bombed because I could tell they werent going to be a good fit. In one particularly awful one, I got checked up and down by the first male employee I encountered followed by the interviewer staring at my chest the entire time.Frustrated and exhausted, I found myself missing home. I was born and raised in Humboldt County, a rural community known for its highly lucrative cash crop and redwood forests (Lonely Planets 2018 1 US Destination). I missed my family, my friends, my family dog, nature and a slower pace of life. I decided that Id apply for jobs at home and in LA, and I would take whatever came.In the end, I was able to go home sooner than I had imagined. The company I had been working for began to lay off employees due to restructuring- and I ended up being one of those laid off.I was in shock as I began to think about how much my rent and living expenses cost versus the check Id receive on unemployment along with my small severance package. I knew I would have to leave my studio apartment because there would be no way for me to afford it- let alone the utility bills- but heres the thing in realizing that, I felt content. It was time to go home.There was just one last tie to break. I had to end it with the guy Id been seeing on and off for four years of my life, and inevitably, we had one of t hose necessary blowout fights to end it all. I wasnt that sad - I was more relieved it was finally done.I moved back in with my parents three weeks later.I felt like a hot mess, like the mid-2000s Lindsay Lohan/Paris Hilton days.Back to my rootsAs good as it was to be home, sitting in my childhood room, looking at my letterman jacket still hanging in the closet and boxes of my adult life stacked in the corner, I started doubting myself and every decision I had made for the past 12 years. I found myself trying to mute the bellowing voice of self-loathing and hatred that now took up any quiet mind time.Shortly after arriving home, I hit the pavement running. I applied for jobs, got a gym membership (since I had put on 30 pounds of stress weight), went to the doctor and got in as many doctor appointments as I could before I canceled my COBRA, started going to therapy and taking anti-depressants, deactivated my Facebook, hung out with my friends and even tried to date to forget about H e Who Shall Not Be Named.At that time, my thought process went something like this I wasnt quite failing at life, just stripping away all the things that werent working for me that, until then, Id been too obstinate to let go of. Maybe my yellow brick road had just gotten clogged up with LA smog and this was the opportunity to take a scrubbing to it.After a few months, though, the job offers werent coming. Those COBRA doctor appointments meant skin cancer biopsies were taken (benign, thank goodness). My family dog, who never left my side when I could barely get out of bed, had to be put down and my love life was stagnant. I felt like a hot mess, like the mid-2000s Lindsay Lohan/Paris Hilton days.Five months into moving home, some new opportunities appeared and I jumped at them - finally, there was a part-time temporary job, and I started playing softball in a city recreational league. I had things to look forward to, and I got to start a new bung.The beast of comparison and self-lo athing will always be there - be prepared to have a muzzle for it.The comparison bugBut almost immediately, the reality of my situation smashed my small wins my college roommate got married. At her wedding, I was surrounded by people talking about their accomplishments- buying a house, getting married, getting the promotion to Vice President of whatever, pregnancy talk, etc.High fives all around for them.It wasnt that I wasnt stoked for their successes and what they were proud of, but I found myself trying to avoid discussing what I was up to because, well, what was there to say?Id gelbkreuzgas my job, apartment, and the guy I thought I would eventually marry, and I was working a part-time temp job for $11.50/hour with no job prospects in sight while living with my parents. Oh, and I was still carrying that extra 25 pounds of stress weight.Ultimately, I opened up - and for the rest of the night, I got looks of sympathy and handed copious glasses of wine. The hangover and hazy imag es of pity-filled eyes were not the best parting gifts, but the wedding itself was incredible.As much as I would like to say You shouldnt compare yourself to others, doing so would make me a hypocrite. Whether its in Buti Yoga class when the woman next to me doing amazing bendy moves, or thinking about how lucky my best friend is because she doesnt have crazy baby hairs like I do that cramp any hairstyle I attempt, Im always comparing on some level.For me, that night meant realizing I needed to turn down the volume on my comparison voice in my head. Thats something I have to be present for - its always going to be there, but recognizing its there, especially when its the loudest, is a skill that Im continuing to hone.Not being able to control my exact outcome and surrendering to the unknown was frustrating - like trying to apply liquid eyeliner after coffee or dealing with my student loan company level frustrating.The turning pointBy mid-November, the temporary job was coming to a n end, my unemployment was gone. While I had just picked up another temporary job working at a law firm, the interviews for full-time work werent going anywhere - there were more rejection letters or just no follow-up from them at all. It became something of a joke - repeatedly, it would get down to me and another candidate, and the hiring manager would pick the other person.Then, it happened. The case I was helping get ready for court ended abruptly a few days before Christmas, which meant no more work for me. Surrendering to the possibility that no one would be hiring until mid-January, I decided to focus on my time off with family and friends and puppy cuddles (care of a new dog named Duncan Macleod) before I revved up the job search engine again in January.A few days after Christmas, I received a job offer working with our local government. I jumped at the chance. I wouldnt start the job for three weeks but hey, I had a job. I would have a consistent income and health insuranc e (you know youre adulting when ).I started my position right after my birthday - at the ripe age of 31. Things started to (finally) fall into place. Once I got into a routine at work, I next focused on my health, both physically and mentally. After I felt I was in healthy space, I decided to dip my toes in the dating pool and started doing things outside my comfort zone - like going to a rodeo, checking out local street fairs, or taking spur of the moment weekend getaways.Patience, resilience, surrender, and asking for help are good things to have in my toolkit.What year 30 taught meFor most of my 30th year, I felt like Tom Hanks at the beginning of Castaway, stuck in a storm and washed up, disheveled and haggard on the beach. Not being able to control my exact outcome and surrendering to the unknown was frustrating - like trying to apply liquid eyeliner after coffee or dealing with my student loan company level frustrating.But focusing on the immediate things that I could make a difference in providing some semblance that I was the still the Queen Bee of my life story. By the end of the year, I was less Castaway more Sasha Fierce- confident, grounded, and looking to the future with a smile instead of anxiety and dread.So what were my biggest takeaways? I will bullet point it out because, frankly, I love bullet pointsThe beast of comparison and self-loathing will always be there - be prepared to have a muzzle for it.Patience, resilience, surrender, and asking for help are good things to have in my toolkit.Im lucky to have the family and friend support I do, and a roof over my head, because I know not everyone is as fortunate.My dad was my biggest cheerleader. He was always encouraging me even when I felt helpless and worthless and telling me something good was on the way. He was right. It just took a lot of patience and blind faith on my end.My dog is the best furchild and four-legged therapist on the planet. (Im biased, Im aware.)Focusing on improving o ne aspect of my life at a time provided me with the best result.Self-care is key to maintaining mental, psychological, physical and spiritual focus.Am I where I want to be career and lifestyle wise? Not quite, but Im heading in that direction - and Im a lot closer than where I was three years ago. Its all a process, and Im still learning the ebb and flow.This article first appeared on Career Contessa.

Get out of the office for work. Its good for you.

Get out of the geschftszimmer for work. Its good for you.Get out of the office for work. Its good for you.Working from home is getting a bad rap.Yahoo banned it, as did IBM. Some researchers even suggest that working outside the office has ill effects on ones health.Ive worked from home for over 4 years. While Ive certainly felt sporadic pangs of loneliness, its never negatively impacted my work performance. In fact, I believe the social isolation has actually helped me be even more productive, and better able to understand the outside world than if I worked in an office.In fact, the flexibility to work from home is an enormous recruiting tool. Diebold executives have bragged about how hiring people outside of its Ohio headquarters helped improve its talent pool. And a whopping 67% of employers allowed people to work from home, according to a 2014 study from the Families and Work Institute.In fact, the workers who are happiest are the ones who work in the office only one day a week. The four-day workweek is getting more popular.Heres how working remotely can be good for employees, and why employers should encourage it (at least from time to time).Yes, working from home gets lonely. No, thats not a bad thing.If youve ever worked from home, you may think, wait a minute. Working from home is awesome I get stuff done in my pajamas and hang with my pets all day. How could it be bad for me?Let me explain. Working from home on a regular basis can get lonely without a social outlet.Recently, several studies concluded that loneliness has the potential to be as bad for us as smoking, drinking and eating our favorite fast food three times a week. One study that welches published in the Society for Personality and Social Psychology in January found lonely people are more likely to produce inflammatory compounds, which can in turn lead to heart disease and other chronic disorders.Apparently loneliness has the potential to negatively affect businesses as well. A recent study on the UK workforce called The Cost of Loneliness claims social isolation costs employers approximately $3.1 billion in productivity loss due to impacts on employee health and overall wellness.A productivity boost Fewer colleagues and no commuteImagine you didnt have that long commute to and from the office every morning, and you only had to look presentable from the waist up (for video calls). Suddenly it becomes very clear how remote workers could easily surpass office workers in terms of productivity. According to a 2015 Stanford University study in which they monitored a Chinese travel agencys employees for a year, the employees who worked from home had a 13% higher performance satz than the office employees. They were also more productive per minute, which researchers believe was due to less external distractions, fewer breaks, and fewer sick days. Take that, Cost of Loneliness reportYoull end up getting a better nights sleepAnyone over 25 knows how important sleep is for stay ing focused at work. A study that was published in the Sleep Health journal chronicled the sleeping habits of 500 workers, and found the ones with more flexible work schedules and atmospheres slept better overall. Having some control over where and how they work seems to make people feel more in control of their lives, which in turn results in sleeping more soundly.Working remotely means less job stress and less family stressSpeaking of control, working from home on the regular seems to increase employees perceived autonomy and decreases overall job stress. These beneficial effects seem to grow exponentially for high-intensity remote workers, aka people who work from home half the week or more. A 2007 meta-analysis of 46 individual studies exhibited this as well as a lower tarif of work-family conflict. Some people are cut out for remote workHeres where that study at the top of this article comes back into play. Working from home has the potential to make your work (and home) life m uch better IF the setup suits you. Personally, I feel like I do better work from home, because there are less external distractions, and I feel free from office bureaucracy, but Im a particular type of person. A 2014 University of Calgary study found there are other types of people whose productivity is stunted by the work-from-home atmosphere. These may also be the people who are more negatively affected by the loneliness factor, which could in turn lead to the health problems stated above. If youre someone who thrives off of constant face-to-face interaction, youre probably not meant to be a remote worker.Employers should, however, extend the work-from-home option to everyone.Considering all the benefits above, employers would be wise to offer all their employees a remote work option. By giving some work-life control back to their employees, theyll be getting the most out of the ones who thrive in such an environment. At the same time, all their employees will feel less stressed a bout needing to stay home with a sick kid, or waiting 8 hours for the plumber to show up, because they can still clock in. Life doesnt usually work around a traditional work schedule, but, thanks to technology, most jobs can work around life.

These are the specific conversations you need to have with your boss every month of the year

These are the specific conversations you need to have with your boss every month of the year These are the specific conversations you need to have with your boss every month of the year When you think about those monthly check-ins with your boss, it’s the standing invite on your calendar that likely brews both excitement and anxiety. Even so, being in constant communication with the person who will help you meet your professional goals should always be a priority.One way to take the heat off of these 30-day mind melds is to come in with a plan, according to motivational speaker and workplace expert Amy Cooper Hakim, Ph.D.“Some employees wait for feedback or direction from the manager, and assume that ‘no news is good news.’ But in fact, that is not always so,” she said. “To be safe, it is best to have consistent, regular dialogue to ensure that needs are being met in both directions.”Here, then, is some month-by-month fodder that will build trust, rapport, and loyalty with your boss:January: The one about focusEspecially if you’re on the East Coast, coming back to work after a long winter’s cat nap over the holidays is a drag. Not only is it usuall y freezing outside, but fewer hours of daytime mean you barely catch a glimpse of the sun. Hakim says many employees struggle during this season, so it’s extra important to get clear with your manager about the goals of the quarter so you can stay focused and perform at your highest level, even if you’d rather stay at home instead.“It is easy to get overwhelmed by work, so knowing what to prioritize will help you to focus your energy where it counts. And, without asking, you may be spinning your wheels on a project that really should be placed on the back burner,” Hakim says.February: The one about prioritizing.Since some folks don’t consider Valentine’s Day a holiday worth celebrating, February often feels like the official end to the holiday season, where everyone is back in office and ready to tackle deadlines and deliverables. If you find yourself in the middle of three (or more!) tasks all at once, all of a sudden, getting clear about what needs to be completed firs t and foremost will give your boss the best impression. Hakim also notes it’ll demonstrate your commitment. “Asking about what needs to be accomplished shows that you care about your manager’s goals and priorities. The manager’s response may help you to better prioritize many new and ongoing projects,” she says.March: The one about promotions and raisesThe hard, cold truth about being a professional? If you don’t stand up for your career, no one will - and it’s up to you to have the conversation about meeting your career objectives. In other words: Hakim says if you’re aiming for a raise or a promotion, you and your manager need to be on the same page about what you need to achieve, change or mold to get there.March makes for the ideal time to start this chat. “Expressing your professional goal and asking for resources or steps to achieve it, shows your boss that you are committed to self-growth and overall goal attainment,” Hakim says. “Managers appreciate th is drive and long for employees who are self-motivated and determined.”April: The one about the second quarterAfter nailing it during the first quarter, going above and beyond what was requested of you, keep the momentum going in April by getting specific about how to be even better at your job. Hakim suggests asking your boss about his or her goals for the second quarter and volunteering to take on extra work to make them possible.“We want to be seen as a go-getter and thought of for special projects that will get the most attention by the higher-ups,” she says. “By showing an interest in these projects, your boss will likely think of you for help. This can benefit you as you progress in the organization.”May: The one where you surprise themWhile, sure, you don’t want to be seen as someone who is bending over backward and brown nosing your way to a fancier title, taking note of your manager’s interests will help you build a professional friendship. Being buddy-buddy i sn’t recommended, but if your boss sees you as someone who pays attention, listens, and remembers qualities and tastes, you’re more likely to earn their respect.Hakim says to seek out an article you think they’d appreciate it and bring it up in the context of an 1:1. “This shows the boss that you have her best interests at heart. When your boss feels that you are thinking of her and of her goals, then she in turn will keep you top-of-mind,” she says.June: The one about vacationAnd no, not the PTO you want to snag before your co-worker does, but your manager’s summer plans. This topical conversations illustrates the emphasis you put on work/life balance and that you understand your manager needs time with friends and family, too. It’s also a way to reassure your boss that when they are jet-setting to Europe or a trendy island, you have their back.“While it is ideal to keep dialogue solely about work-related topics, it is also important to show your boss that you care. This personal discussion reminds your boss that you see him as a human being and not just as your manager,” Hakim says.July: The one where you show your commitmentThat summer breeze might make you feel fine, but if you let it sweep you away from your deadlines, your manager might be less than peachy-keen with you. Instead of allowing the temptation of warm weather distract you from working at your highest level, double-down and communicate your commitment to your next-up. With half a year behind you, get nitty-gritty with new goals for the third quarter. In addition to putting you in the limelight with your micro-attention to detail, Hakim also says it’ll save you unnecessary busy work in case your priorities are not aligned with those of your boss.August: The one where you ask for adviceNow that you’ve maintained consistent, constant, meaningful talks throughout the year, it’s time to seek the expertise of your manager. Since they’ve likely been in the game longer than y ou have, seeking their perspective on books or blogs to read, courses to take, or other advancement advice illustrates respect.“Bosses love to feel important, and it is a huge compliment for them if you want to emulate their behavior. This question isn’t sucking up either, since you can truly benefit from the insights of someone who is a leader in your organization or industry,” Hakim says.September: The one where you ask for feedbackA great sign of maturity is being able to ask for critical feedback - and actually take it without getting offended. Roll up your sleeves, straighten your back, take a deep breath, and go for it in September.“Bosses respect individuals who strive for self-improvement and growth. They especially appreciate those who can take constructive criticism and run with it,” Hakim says.One way to open this can is to ask for areas of improvement or express places you personally seek to strengthen, giving your manager leeway to describe their experience w orking with you, too.October: The one where you show your listening skillsRemember when you inquired about areas of weakness last month? Now is the time to make your monthly meet-up about all of the ways you began working to strengthen those skills or characteristics.“It’s one thing to ask for advice and another thing to take it and apply it. Bosses love employees who do just that,” Hakim says. If you can dictate with tangible numbers? Even better!November: The one where you wrap up the yearSince - ahem, thankfully - Thanksgiving falls at the end of the month, the first three weeks of November can be spent getting serious about what needs to be finished by end of year, and setting up timelines to ensure success.“The months leading up to the holiday season are notoriously slow, even when deliverables are still open and incomplete. By asking this question, your boss understands that you are still focused on work and on meeting department and company objectives,” Hakim says .December: The one where you express gratitudeAs a month that sneaks up on nearly all professionals and then flies by far too fast with endless holiday parties, travel, and responsibility, pausing to say ‘thanks’ to your manager will go a long way, and earn you major bonus stars.“Gratitude is infectious! When we show that we are grateful and appreciative, then our boss will likely respond in kind. This positivity can make it easier to plow through those final days of the year as we wait for holiday and vacation time,” Hakim says.

6 ways to keep your mind from wandering at work during the holidays

6 ways to keep your mind from wandering at work during the holidays 6 ways to keep your mind from wandering at work during the holidays There’s holiday music playing, your coworkers become a bit more cheery, and shopping apps are being downloaded. With all the holiday hoopla going on, how are you staying focused on your work projects?We’ve turned to experts for their strategies to keep your eye on your work agenda and your wandering mind for when you’re off the clock.Schedule holiday worry timeEveryone has a large holiday to-do list, but with planning, worrying can be managed.“Set aside a specific time each day to think about the gifts you want to purchase, the decorating you want to do, and the parties you’d like to attend,” says Amy Morin, a psychotherapist and author of 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Do.Catch yourselfTry and be one step ahead of your temptation to deviate from your work tasks.“If you find yourself starting to shop online at the office or you start making a list of the goodies, or you need to bake when you should be working on a project, remind yourself that you have set asi de time to do that later,” suggest Morin. “That can help you stay better focused on your current tasks.”Create shorter work spansBecause there are so many work distractions during the holidays, try to stay focused for small chunks of time.“Set a goal to stay on task for a short amount of time â€" 10 or 15 minutes and set a timer,” suggests Morin. “When the timer goes off, give yourself a quick break, maybe two to five minutes. When your time is up, get back to work.”She said these shorter work spurts may create more productivity.Make a list of your holiday tasksBy keeping a “do not forget list,” this may reduce stress and worry.“You might find yourself stressed about all the things you have to remember, which can distract you from your task-at-hand,” Morin says. “Keep a handy list nearby where you can jot down the stuff that you’re afraid you might forget, like the gift you want to buy for a neighbor or the card you forgot to send to your cousin.”Knowing that you’ve written down the things to do and may free up the mental energy you need to concentrate.Consider using vacation timeMake sure you schedule time to shop and decorate. Instead of running around at night and on weekends, try taking a half-day off during the week for holiday errands.“An afternoon or morning off when stores are less crowded is an overall time and stress saver,” says Melissa Mattern, owner of Meditation for Regular People, a meditation studio in Portland, OR.Slow down the holiday paceOn your lunch break, or before or after work, Mattern says to get back to basics regarding the winter holidays. To become mindful she says to take a walk, a nap, or enjoy a few minutes with a book and even go a step further.“Throw a snowball as far as you can throw it, or breathe and gaze at that one Christmas tree in town that is the showstopper,” she says. Before you know it the holidays will be over, and the hectic first quarter begins again.

Learn What to Avoid as a Musician

Learn What to Avoid as a Musician Learn What to Avoid as a Musician It is, unfortunately, easy to get ripped off in the music industry. Getting caught up in a music industry scam might not damage your career, but it could cost you money you probably dont have. You can avoid a lot of music business rip-offs simply by knowing what you should pay for and what you shouldnt. Heres a list of things to avoid paying for as you get established in the music business. Lists of Music Industry Contact Information At some point in your music career, especially if you are a musician, someone is going to try to sell you a list of phone numbers and email addresses or both for labels, agents, managers, etc. Dont bite. First of all, you have no way of knowing if the information is legitimate. Second, if that is the private Blackberry number of head honcho X at label Y, they may not take kindly to being called by a stranger. Spend a few hours with a list of your desired contacts and a search engine, and youre likely to track down the best way to reach that person yourself. Labels are hip to the fact that people want them to check out their demos, and to save themselves the trouble of fielding endless requests about how to send them, they make their desired methods of contact public information. The gray area? There are a few industry guides published every year to which labels submit their contact information for this very purpose. These books can be handy to have, and you can relax knowing that (most) of the people listed in the book have opted in and specified their desired contact method. Still, most of the information you need is still available for free online if youre willing to look for it. Paying to Play a Show If youre still building an audience, you may not get paid a lot to play a show if you get paid at all. You may end up out of pocket when you figure at the expense of getting to the show. But dont increase your costs by paying some promoter or venue to let you take to the stage. You may be asked to pay a fee to play a showcase gig for industry professionals. Occasionally these shows do put you in front of media and labels, but they usually dont. At the very least, you should weigh up these opportunities very, very carefully. Proceed with caution. The real gray area here is the tour buy-on. Paying for Advice This is a tricky one. There are some legitimate music industry consultants out there that charge for their services and music industry consultants who work for a fee. These consultants may be able to give clients great advice about how the industry works. The flipside of this is that there are many, many consultants out there who charge musicians an hourly rate for the privilege of receiving basic (at best) or bad (at worst) advice. This is not money well spent, and it could send you down the wrong road in terms of reaching your goal. Before you pay for the services of a music consultant, find out what you can about their background and their past clients. Look for someone who can motivate you while being realistic. Above all else, look for a good price for good service. It would be silly to divert money from other things you need to pay for these services. A great thing to look for is a consultant who can offer advice while doing something tangible for your career,  someone like a manager or a PR person you can call on for advice. That way youre getting more bang for your buck as this person isnt merely supervising your career but is invested in your career. As a rule, one-size-fits-all solutions are difficult to come by in the music industry. For a consultant to be effective at helping you, they will need to know a lot about your music, your background, and your goals to make sure that they are invested.

A Guide to Combat Pay in the United States Military

A Guide to Combat Pay in the United States Military A Guide to Combat Pay in the United States Military As of 2018, a military member assigned to or deployed to a combat zone receives bonus combat pay (officially called hostile fire or imminent danger pay), at a rate of $225 per month. It is in addition to their regular pay rate. Being assigned to or working in a combat zone  also triggers a tax advantage in some locations. Congress and/or the president can designate combat zones as Tax Exempt areas. Earnings received while in these combat zones are not subject to federal tax withholding. Rules for Military Hazardous Duty Pay This exclusion is unlimited for enlisted members and is limited to the maximum enlisted pay amount for officers and warrant officers. If you spend a single qualifying day in the combat zone, your pay for the entire month is excluded from taxable income, and you receive $225 in combat pay for that month. Any other bonuses and special pay you receive will also be excluded from federal tax withholding if you earn them while in a combat zone. For example, a reenlistment bonus is excluded from taxes if the member reenlists in the same month in which the member also served in a combat zone. Since there is no limitation on amounts excluded for enlisted members, the entire reenlistment bonus would be excluded. As another example, an officers flight pay would also be excluded from taxable income, but only up to the point which basic pay and the flight pay do not exceed the maximum enlisted pay amount. Hazard Pay and Other Allowances In addition to imminent danger pay and the tax exclusion, some areas qualify for a special monthly allowance called hardship duty pay. Military members with dependents also receive a Family Separation Allowance (FSA) of $250 per month any time they are away from their families due to military orders for 30 days or longer. Finally, members in a combat zone are authorized to deposit up to $10,000 (per year) of their pay and allowances into a special savings account  that pays a guaranteed 10 percent interest per year. This program was established during the Vietnam era and then phased out at the end of the Vietnam War. However, it was revived in 1991 during the Gulf War, and the program still exists today. In addition to the combat zones listed below, personnel stationed in Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan are eligible to use the tax-free program if they are supporting combat operations in Afghanistan, even though they are not physically in Afghanistan. Here are the currently designated combat zones- for members of the U.S. military as of 2018.

Why every culture should be as polarizing as cilantro

Why every culture should be as polarizing as cilantro Why every culture should be as polarizing as cilantro Cilantro: We either love it or we hate it. Very rarely do we sit on the fence. Come to think of it, the same applies with pineapple on pizza or black licorice. I, for one, will pass on all three, without exception. The same didn’t apply when I was looking for a job, though.When I was looking for my first job, I did what most people do: I went to the job boards, LinkedIn, and other websites to look for my first consulting job. And while I found hundreds of job descriptions, none of them allowed me to understand what the real experience was going to be like. In hindsight, I often wonder what it would have been like if the job descriptions I read were any different from all of the others.The fault isn’t on others though, I didn’t ask the right questions and I didn’t do my homework. I didn’t change more than a few lines on my CV and I didn’t put in that extra effort.And I’m not alone.The job-seekers I speak with today are all thinking the same thing: they’re thinking that each job description looks as good as the last and that they’d be lucky to have a job at *insert great brand here.* The looks of the job description don’t articulate what the experience is going to be like on the job. Similar to knowing that there is no way to understand what cilantro will taste like just by looking at it.Now talking to new grads or people who are looking for new jobs, I hear the same thing over and over. I hear people who are looking for a job that aligns with who they are and are left clueless when they’re looking to apply. Even today, a job description doesn’t really describe the job, it just talks about the skills and requirements needed to do the job. The opportunity is to talk more about the experience while on the job. The opportunity is to know more about what our lives would be like as a result of the job rather than just what the skills we need to do it are.While cilantro isn’t for everyone, jobs shouldn’t be either. And to fix it, we need to be talking about what the experience is going to be while on the job, and not just the skills and experience needed to do the job, along with Value ‘statements’ like Integrity, Honor, Respect (like anyone is going to not self-identify as respectful and honorable). If we can start talking more about the experience one might have while on the job and focus less on the image of the job and what it appears to be, maybe we can all make more educated decisions. If we can see what the office design is like, what work will look and feel like, if there are remote or flex opportunities, who our teammates are and what they value, if we’re going to be in meetings on the computer most of the day, then I think we’ll be getting a lot closer to knowing if there is a fit or not.See, it isn’t about right and wrong when it comes to culture and experience; it comes down to what is true and untrue. It isn’t about attracting males vs females, or Millennials vs. Gen Z (or other generations), f or example, it is about attracting people who have more education about the position and what the experience would be like if they were to work there or not.It is a dream of mine that we actually like the work we do, and to do that, we need to know more about the position than the perks present and the skills needed to do the job. If people knew enough about the job, perhaps we can reverse this trend where job-seekers (myself included) will apply nearly blindly to tens of jobs without really knowing what we’re applying for. The more we know about a position and the experience while in it, the better our decision will be. No more do we want to think “meh, I could work there,” it is far better to think “I’m all in” or “it’s not for me,” much like cilantro is for most of us.Eric Termuende is the co-founder of NoW Innovations, a bestselling author, and an international speaker.

Ownership Rights and Exploitation of Employee Inventions

Ownership Rights and Exploitation of Employee Inventions Ownership Rights and Exploitation of Employee Inventions Many inventions are conceived by employee engineers during a period of time when employed. Ownership is critical in determining who has the right to exploit any patents ultimately issued on such inventions. Accordingly, the employee engineer should be familiar with the principles governing ownership and patent rights. A U.S. patent grants to the patent owner (or patentee) the right to exclude others from making, using, offering for sale, or selling the invention throughout the United States or importing the invention into the United States . . .. 35 U.S.C. 154, 271. Examples of exploiting patent rights include selling products or services covered by the patent, assigning the patent to another, or granting limited rights under the patent to others, such as by licensing. The general rule is that an individual owns the patent rights to the subject matter of which he is an inventor, even though he conceived it or reduced it to practice in the course of his employment. Banks v. Unisys Corporation, 228 F.3d 1357, 1359 (Fed.Cir. 2000). An invention may have joint inventors, even though the inventors did not each make the same type or same amount of inventive contribution. 35 U.S.C. 116. If there is no agreement to the contrary, any of the joint owners are free to make, use or sell the patented invention without the permission of the other owners and without accounting to the other owners. 35 U.S.C. 262. Without an accounting means that each inventor has an unfettered right to exploit the patent and cannot be forced to share any profits obtained from his activities. However, a patent is a personal property right, which may be assigned, licensed and/or mortgaged in whole or in part. 35 U.S.C. 261. Contract law allows individuals to freely structure their transactions and employee relationships. An employee engineer may thus contract to assign all rights in inventive ideas to the employer. Teets v. Chromalloy Gas Turbine Corp., 83 F.3d 403, 407 (Fed.Cir. 1996), cert. denied, 519 U.S. 1009 (1996). Furthermore, many employers require engineers to sign writtencontracts expressly allocating patent rights between engineers and employers. Most states enforce these contracts, which can transfer all of the inventors rights in the invention to the employer in return for continued employment of the employee, although some states do place restrictions on such contracts. If there is no agreement to the contrary, the employee engineer rather than the employer owns the invention, including the patent rights pertaining thereto. However, there may be an implied agreement to assign the rights to the invention. The general rule of employee ownership is subject to various exceptions such as where the employer may be deemed to own a invention made by an employee engineer who was hired for the specific purpose of making the invention, or who, after being hired, was directed by his employer to make the invention. Standard Parts Co. v. Peck, 264 U.S. 52 (1924); Houghton v. United States, 23 F.2d 386, 389-390 (4th Cir. 1928), cert. denied, 277 U.S. 592 (1928). The general rule is also subject to the limitation that the employer may be deemed to have a shop right in the invention, pursuant to which the employer enjoys an implied, nonexclusive, irrevocable and royalty-free license to use the invention made by the employee engineer. McElmurry v. Arkansas Power Li ght Co., 995 F.2d 1576, 1580-1581 (Fed. Cir. 1993). Various other exceptions exist providing employer ownership, which are beyond the scope of this article. As discussed above, determining ownership rights can be difficult but is of paramount importance. The first step includes identifying each inventor. Where multiple inventors exist the rights between these inventors must also be determined. The second step involves determining whether the various inventors have expressly or impliedly contracted away their rights to the invention. Where there is a written agreement, it should be carefully reviewed to determine how rights have been allocated. Where there is no written agreement, the engineer inventor may face a murky area in ferreting out proper allocation, which depends upon the facts and circumstances surrounding the inventive activity. Particular attention should be paid to these issues because of their impact on the ability to exploit a particular invention. Disclaimer: The above is only a general discussion of the issues related to ownership of an invention by an employee engineer. The employee engineer should consult an attorney to review his/her particular situation. However, a patent is a personal property right, which may be assigned, licensed and/or mortgaged in whole or in part.
