5 Ways to Impress Your New Boss When Youre Starting a Job - The Muse

5 Ways to Impress Your New Boss When Youre Starting a Job - The Muse5 Ways to Impress Your New Boss When Youre Starting a JobEveryone knows first impressions are important, but its less obvious that the first impression for a new job can take 60, 90, or even 180 days to make. Why? In large companies, it can take that long just to meet all of the important business partners and customers with whom you will be working. Every initial exchange, meeting, or discussion contributes to the first impression people have of you. In smaller companies, where meeting everyone takes less time, new hires tend to feel more watched and evaluated. The term under the microscope becomes their mantra. During the first 90 days of your new position, youre establishing credibility so that you can actually do your job. Heres how smart people use that time1. They View Starting a New Job as an Exercise in Personal BrandingMake no mistake, you will be judged based on how you show up at work. Your work is your br and- as is your general demeanor, reliability in showing up for meetings or completing projects on time, and the way you dress. Even more important, but more subtle, is how appropriately you open up to your new co-workers. Do you undershare, omitting valuable feedback because youre uncomfortable saying anything that isnt complimentary? Do you overshare as a way to try and build connections? All of these things combine to make up how youre perceived by your new colleagues. Smart people work to be known as a person who is interesting and easy to talk to, but who can also buckle down and get to work. 2. They Chill OutNews flash You got the job Studies have proven that anxiety is contagious. Starting a new job is exciting for you, but its just anotlageher day at the office for everyone else. Be calm and strive to match the energy and pace of the office environment, even if its different than yours. Once you are known, you can go at your own pace, but until then, dont be the hyper-anxio us person everyone intuitively wants to avoid. Smart people take a deep breath when theyre feeling overwhelmed and make a composed, can-do impression at their new job. 3. They Use the 70/30 RuleAre you familiar with the 70/30 rule? It suggests that 70% of the time you ask questions and inquire about how things work. Then, the other 30% of the time, share background on yourself so people get to know you and how you think. If you monopolize the conversation by talking about yourself too much, people may mistake it for arrogance, or alternatively for trying too hard. Smart people learn to ask incisive (but not invasive) questions about the organization. That way your interviews and discussions with people will have value for them as well as for you. 4. They Do Their HomeworkBy the time they show up on day one, people who want to hit the ground running have already done the preliminary research to understand the bigger context of what their new organization does, why, and how prior eve nts informed the current practices. In between being hired and starting a new job, they find someone at the organization- often a hiring manager or a peer who reports to the same person- to exchange a few emails with to get up to speed. By doing their homework ahead of time, smart people are able to engage their co-workers in conversations that are deeper and more valuable than just catching up. 5. They Pay Attention to Company CultureWhat are the assumptions and beliefs that drive peoples behaviors and actions? Collectively, these define the culture of the organization. You can neither buck nor support it until you get it. For those who are immersed in it, culture becomes innate, and because of this, some of the people who epitomize it (the fish in the proverbial water) cant tell you about it. Smart people learn about the environment not by what people say they are going to do, or what they say they value, but by watching what people actually do. How are customers treated? How does the company engage the hearts and minds of the employees? Are policies implemented and enforced consistently, and if not- why not? Starting a new job is a high-stakes transition. You will never be more ignorant about how to fit in than when you start but on the other hand, you will be making lasting first impressions from the very beginning. Do what smart people do and find the balance. Be yourself, but be on. Relax, but listen and ask great questions. Finally, understand the big picture and tap into the culture.

Whats the most effective piece of financial advice you received

What's the most effective piece of financial advice you received What's the most effective piece of financial advice you received ‘What is the single most effective piece of financial advice you’ve ever received?’ Max out your 401k and start early. Invest in Mutual funds with a low expense ratio.When I signed up for my first 401k, I spent hours pouring over thick prospectuses, attempting to outsmart the market and pick “the best and smartest” fund.I was working for an investment bank, so I also consulted my highly esteemed - and highly-paid - colleagues.In public they prioritized: Past performance: 1-year, 3-year, 5-year, 10-year returns The glitziness of the fund manager: their background, current firm, top picks, affiliations, and brand The type of investment the funds made: were they in the hot markets of technology, dot-coms, healthcare, and real estate? However, one colleague gave me the most effective piece of financial advice, look at the fund’s Expense Ratio. The expense ratio does not include the cost of buying a fund. This expense is referred to the sales load fee, and is a one-time event.The expense ratio represents the percentage of the fund’s assets that go towards the expense of running the mutual fund. The expense ratio covers: investment advisory fee administrative costs 12b-1 distribution fees other operating expenses With an expense ratio of 1%, a mutual fund is paying itself 1% of the total money in the fund every year, irrespective of how the fund does. Even if the fund loses money, you will be out the expense ratio. So, typically the higher the expense ratio, the lower your return.It is tempting to look at past performance, or brand of the fund, as this can be an effective strategy in predicting many things in life. However, there is little evidence that investing in funds that have performed well in the past is a good strategy to pick those that will do well in the future.There are hundreds of funds out there and roughly half outperform the market and half underperform the market over any period of time. By sheer chance, there are going to be some outliers that have done incredibly well and the ones that performed terribly will disappear (leading to a bias if you only evaluate funds that currently exist).There is little to evidence that any given fund that has outperformed the market will con tinue to do so. However, there is a lot of evidence that a high expense ratio fund will result in higher expenses and lower returns than one with a lower expense ratio.Also, as Marie Stein rightly mentions in the comments: “keep in mind though, that some funds also charge front-end sales loads, back-end sales loads, and/or redemption fees. For instance, a fund might have a low annual expense ratio; but a sales load on the front end, or redemption fees and loads on the back end which may nip into your returns.”This article first appeared on Quora.

How To Choose Between Great Job Candidates

How To Choose Between Great Job Candidates How To Choose Between Great Job Candidates How To Choose Between Great Job Candidates Lewis With the national unemployment rateremaining stubbornly high, you may have been faced with the daunting task of choosing from a pool of eligible applicants with the right interview questions. Some of these applicants maybe overqualified. How can you choose a candidate that will fulfill the jobs responsibilities and be a suitable match to your company culture? By targeting your interview questions to align with your businesss needs. The following interview questions will help you navigate through a sea of gifted applicants, as you strive to hire top talentfor your organization. Sample Interview Questions: Tell me about the most significant challenges you have encountered throughout your career. How did you overcome these issues? What steps did you implement to resolve them? As the owner of a home health care business based in Rochester Hills, Mich., Penny VanDette copes with the unavoidable challenges of many small business owners: project overload and staff shortages. She looks for top talent who will consistently rise above such issues and exceed expectations. In her interviews, VanDette focuses on the candidates perceptions of past challenges and how they utilized their problem-solving skills. I am particularly interested in hiring candidates who are risk-takers and are able to creatively approach any problems they encounter on a daily basis, she says. Follow up with additional questions: Did you resolve past conflicts alone or with the assistance of fellow team members? Was there a positive outcome for both you and your former employer? How were you able to apply these lessons to other similar scenarios? Describe these scenarios and their ultimate outcomes. Sample Interview Questions:How did you contribute to the fiscal and business goals of your previous employers?How can you apply this experience to our organization? Small business owners must often rely on employees who can assist with day-by-day operations, including office management and budget implementation. Jill Morrone, owner of an educational supply company in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, pursues a line of interview questions that illustrate how the candidate benefited the fiscal and business goals of previous employers. I am generally interested in conducting further interviews with candidates who have positively contributed to past employers monetary and business objectives, while working as a distinguished team player, says Morrone. Potential follow-up interview questions to ask: Have you had the opportunity to assist with developing a budget? Did you offer to initiate cost-reduction strategies? How comfortable were you this role? Were your financial ideas well-received by your fellow colleagues? Were your ideas implemented? What was the outcome? As a result, were you perceived as a reliable team player? If so, how? Sample Interview Questions: How have previous bosses viewed your work? Why? As the human resources representative of a promotional product manufacturer in Troy, Mich., Herb Weidman pursues candidates who, throughout the interview process, willingly convey positive working relationships with former supervisors. Candidates should offer interviewers examples of evaluations they have received from past employers, says Weidman. It is always very helpful for candidates to bring such evaluations with them to interviews. Ask the candidate to recreate specific scenarios that best illustrate the reasons behind the positive feedback. Sample Interview Questions: What are your current career goals? Are you interested in long-term or short-term employment? Do you see your career goals changing in the near future? The hiring processcan require significant time and resources to interview and employ suitable candidates. For Anthony Alichwer, owner of a small photography business in Easton, Penn., that means knowing your own businesss needs and being sure that they align with the candidates personal timeline. If I have a long-term position available, I must hire a candidate focused on a long-term commitment. The same principle applies to short-term positions, says Alichwer. As an employer, you should fully know your candidates future goals and the ways in which these goals may positively or negatively impact your business. Additionally, consider asking: Do you plan to further your education and hone your current skills? How will your educational pursuits improve my businesss operations in the future? As you go about interviewing candidates, these questions will enable you to streamline your applicant list and hire an individual you can depend on to develop your business goals in the future.

How to Interview Salespeople

How to Interview Salespeople How to Interview Salespeople When youre hiring a new salesperson, a little due diligence on your part can help you to secure a highly-skilled team member. The candidates answers to your interview questions are important, but theyre only one possible source of information about that person. Examine Background Information While resumes are always helpful in gauging a candidates skills and qualifications, there are certain career areas where skill in preparing a resume translates directly into skill in doing the job itself. Writers, for example, had better have well-written, literate resumes. For salespeople, the resume â€" a candidates primary marketing tool â€" is a great indicator of his or her sales skills. How well does he sell his skills and qualifications on his resume? Does he give specific examples of his successes in past jobs? Are his experiences described in a way that presents him as a good fit for your firm? A poorly crafted resume should definitely raise some red flags in your mind. Test Their Research Skills A good salesperson should always do his or her homework. Before you tell the candidate about your company or the position, ask why they applied for this particular job. The salespersons answer will demonstrate how much research they did for you and your company before the interview. A candidates attitude and behavior can be telling. Did she arrive either on time or slightly early? Was she courteous and pleasant to the people she encountered (receptionist, secretaries, etc.)? Was she dressed and groomed professionally? (Remember, the way someone looks on an interview is probably the best they will ever look on the job!) Did she look you in the eye, shake your hand firmly (but not bone-crackingly), greet you warmly and demonstrate open, receptive body language? Did she communicate well and speak clearly? Did she talk too much and too fast, or barely speak at all? The way salespeople sell themselves is the way you can expect them to sell your product or service. Some specific interview questions to ask salespeople include: What are some specific examples of previous sales experiences? What would you do the same? What would you do differently?What is your understanding of this companys sales cycle and how does it compare to what youve done in the past?Whats your process for making a sale in your current or most recent sales position, from getting the lead all the way through to closing the deal? (Note what if anything they have to say about following up with the prospect after the close; this is critical to building repeat business.) What kind of compensation structure do you prefer? (The possibilities are usually base salary, base plus commission, or pure commission. A salesperson who prefers a pure commission job has considerable confidence in their own skills!)What are your sales goals and how do your actual results compare to those goals?What do you see as this companys strengths and what changes do you think would improve sales and productivity? How do you feel you could contribute to this improvement?What new markets could we address and how would you suggest we develop these markets? Don't forget to include a few of the classic interview questions: How do you feel your experience would fit this jobs needs?Whats an example of a great success from a past job and how did you accomplish it?Whats a significant mistake that you made, how did you correct it and what did you learn from it?What are your greatest strengths and weaknesses and what do you do to alleviate your weaknesses?How do you see your career developing in the next few years and how will you accomplish that in this company?What do you see as the greatest contributions you can make to improve the companys success? If there is a lag or a silence, see how they handle it; this is something that can occur in a sales call and a salesperson who rushes to plug every silence by babbling or who does nothing at all will not be successful. Raise any issues or concerns that you have, either from their resumes or in response to things they are telling you; in addition to providing the information you need, this will also demonstrate how they will handle similar objections that arise during a sales call. Do they attempt to form bridges and build rapport with you (notice the picture of your sailboat, children, etc. and share their common interest, for example)? Do they do it well? Making people feel comfortable with you makes them look for reasons to do business with you, another critical sales skill. Toward the end of the interview, give them an overview of what you see as the companys goals, what they can expect in terms of compensation (structure and a general range), benefits, travel expectations, etc. and what the next step in the interview process would be (including time frame). Ask if they have any questions or concerns. If they ask at least one or two intelligent, relevant questions its an excellent sign. A candidate who has no questions for you didnt bother to research your company and/or is too overwhelmed to think of anything clever to say â€" neither of which is a good quality in a salesperson. Finally, make a note whether they follow up with a thank-you note/email to you. And if for some reason the hiring time frame changes, let the candidates know. Its simple courtesy and shows them that youd be a good employer, and it also helps keep potential “star” salespeople from taking offers elsewhere while youre still slogging through the hiring process.

Tips for Marketing a New Pet Product

Tips for Marketing a New Pet Product Tips for Marketing a New Pet Product The pet industry is a multi-billion dollar entity, brought in $69.5 billion in sales in 2017 alone. But it is important to have a marketing plan in place before introducing a new product. Here are some tips on how to effectively market a new pet product: Find Your Audience Your product needs to reach its target audience and generate some buzz.  It is always a good idea to go to relevant pet events in the community (like dog or cat shows for example) to introduce your product. The more eyes you can get on your product, the better. Set a Competitive Price It is rare that a product is completely new and different from anything on the market.  You will usually find that there are similar items to which your product will be compared.  It is important to evaluate the cost of similar products to be sure that you are priced competitively in that niche. Exhibit at Pet Industry Trade Shows and Conventions Renting booths at pet industry trade shows and conventions are usually well worth the investment.  The exposure from these shows can give a massive boost to a new product. These events can also lead to significant purchase orders from wholesalers and distributors. Major industry trade show events like SuperZoo and Global Pet Expo draw thousands of buyers and attendees each year. Focus on Industry Magazines and Blogs You definitely should consider placing advertisements in industry magazines.  Some magazine editors will also review new products as a part of their regular coverage, so be sure to submit a sample if a product review is a possibility. You can also send out samples to industry bloggers to solicit product reviews on their sites. Some well-established pet bloggers have a very large audience that can easily rival a magazine’s circulation. Reach Out to Consumers Your product can be sold directly to consumers via an online platform or through retail magazine and newspaper ads. Direct sales allow you to keep all of the profits and control distribution.  If you have the opportunity to sell some product through pet retail locations that can increase exposure, but your percentage of the profit will be markedly lower than it would be in the direct sales model. Design a Quality Website A professional website with high-quality photos is critical to the success of a product.  If you don’t have the requisite skills, you should hire a professional to create a website that showcases your product. An online ordering platform for direct sales is a great feature to include. You should also consider including content such as videos, professional reviews, links to retailers, links to industry professionals or associations that recommend your product, customer feedback, and the story of how the product was inspired and developed. Create Social Media Accounts Social media accounts are extremely important elements in modern marketing plans.  Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest are a few key outlets that you should consider using to publicize your product launch. It is important to keep your content fresh and post product news regularly (photos, reviews, sales, awards) to keep followers engaged. Use Holidays to Your Advantage Pet owners are much more likely to spend money on pet products during holiday seasons.  Christmas is the biggest spending season and covers the broadest cross-section of pet products, but there has also been a recent trend towards spending in October with a focus on pet costumes and accessories for Halloween. Launching just prior to one of these seasons can help to boost your initial product sales.

Engineers Help Fight Opioid Addiction, Part 1

Engineers Help Fight Opioid Addiction, Part 1 Engineers Help Fight Opioid Addiction, Part 1 Engineers Help Fight Opioid Addiction, Part 1 Its no secret that opioid drug abuse is one of the great scourges of our time. Every day in the U.S. more than 115 people die after overdosing on opioid pain relievers, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates the issue has a total economic burden, including the costs of healthcare, treatment, criminal justice activity and lost productivity, of more than $78 billion per year. And the problem is just getting worse. Opioid-related overdoses jumped 30 percent between July 2016 and September 2017, led by the Midwest, where such overdoses increased by 70 percent. Research has shown that about 25 percent of patients who are prescribed opioids for chronic pain misuse them at some point, and about 10 percent of those end up becoming addicted. For You: MRI-Safe Robots Treat Epilepsy Number of deaths involving opioid drugs, 2005-2015. Image: National Institute of Drug Abuse Thats the bad news. The good news is that medical researchers are already working on a variety of new treatments to lessen dependence on opioid painkillers and prevent these overdoses. Some of the most promising of these treatments are coming out of bioengineering departments. Those treatments involve neurostimulation, the delivery of high-frequency stimulation to sensory nerves in the peripheral nervous system to block pain signals. One such system, known as kilohertz frequency alternative current block, was developed by Kevin Kilgore and Niloy Bhadra, doctors at Case Western Reserves Department of Biomedical Engineering and MetroHealth Medical Center, building on earlier efforts that date back to the 1980s. Though there had been some work done, it had been completely neglected, so we started doing pretty intensive pre-clinical animal studies and outlined a lot of the basic parameters, Bhadra says. Although previous high-frequency systems showed results at lower frequencies, the Case Western team found the best pain relieving returns at a range between roughly 10 and 30 kilohertz. Their innovation was creating a neurostimulation technology that is stable and reliable enough for medical use. When used in medical devices, this technology can turn nerve responses on and off at will, with pain relieving effects that linger well after treatment ends. The nerve conducts signals by sodium and potassium channels, Bhadra says. What is amazing is that when you apply high frequency to a peripheral nerve, it can actually put the sodium channel into a state where it cannot function anymore. That block can start within less than a second, and then when you turn it off, recovery happens in a few seconds, which is completely different from any other nerve block mortality thats known. This type of technology could serve in a wide variety of applications. See Part 2 of Engineers Help Fight Opioid Addiction to learn about the technologys new applications and who is implementing it.

How to Tell Your Boss Youre Quitting 10 Tips to Leave Without Drama

How to Tell Your Boss Youre Quitting 10 Tips to Leave Without Drama How to Tell Your Boss Youre Quitting 10 Tips to Leave Without Drama There are many ways you can tell your boss youre quitting your current job. You may be thinking about dancing your way out of the door, baking a resignation cake, or even shutting down Trump’s twitter account. However, going out with a bang rarely pays off. What about leaving  with grace and professionalism instead? Its just too easy to cut off the branch you’re sitting on. But if you quit the right way, you have a great chance to end up with a strong network that will support you in your future. Theres no doubt everyone wants this process to be as painless and smooth as possible. You must be well prepared to react in a suitable way to anything that the conversation might bring. Table of Contents 1. Prepare the scene2. Express gratitude3. Remember the reasons why you’re leaving4. Don’t disclose too much5. Avoid burning bridges and venting6. Show that you’re willing to help with the transition7. Determine the date of your last day8. Don’t breach any confidentiality and non-compete agreements9. Be prepared for every scenario10. Your last days at work 1. Prepare the scene First of all, set up a meeting to deliver the news in person. Rather than talking to your boss at an inconvenient moment, you want to talk one-on-one and without distractions. As far as the meeting goes, you have a lot of control over the situation. It’s you who should lead the conversation, not your boss. Also, remind yourself that quitting is a natural part of the working world. You’re not the first and not the last guy who’s ever quit. And no matter how irreplaceable you think you are - your boss is sure to find a replacement soon. Keeping these things in mind will help you create some distance between you and your job, making the conversation just a little easier. 2. Express gratitude Even if you’re really angry and unhappy, there’s always something good you can say about your job. Think about things you’re grateful for. There might not be many, but each of them counts. So always remember to keep things positive and pepper the conversation with expressions of gratitude: Start out by expressing your gratitude for the opportunity to learn new skills and grow in your current position. Say how grateful you are for the inspiration and support you’ve got from your employer. Emphasize how much youve learned from his expertise. Your boss will appreciate your recognition of how he’s influenced your life and career in a meaningful way. Express thanks for the chance to work with your colleagues. Make sure to give credit to specific members of your team youve enjoyed working with. READ MORE: 5 Signs You Should Quit Your Job Right Now (Or Soon?) 3. Remember the reasons why you’re leaving Now that you filled your conversation with appreciation, it’s time to change the tone and say that you need to move on. Once you’ve already made up your mind, stop thinking about all the reasons to stay.  Before entering the manager’s office, remind yourself of your motivation for looking for a new job in the first place. Why made you make this move? Was it a higher-level position, more meaningful work, shorter commute, higher salary or better work-life balance? Make it clear that your quitting is a result of your dreams and aspirations. Naturally, you want your boss to see you are quitting to chase your goals rather than running away out of frustration. Regardless of the motivation you had for making a change, you’re going to feel great once the conversation is over. Keeping this feeling in mind will help you stay calm, positive and energized rather than losing control over the situation. 4. Don’t disclose too much There’s one advice for talking about your future prospects - be honest, but brief. Your employer is not entitled to know where or why you’re moving on. There’s no reason to leak details of your new company’s awesome perks or how much more you’ll be making. Whichever way the conversation goes, it’s particularly important that you don’t feel guilty about moving on or feel like you need to over-explain. In this way, you won’t feel under pressure to reveal everything about your next move. You can also speak in general terms and allude to your new job in a general way: I have several possible options, and I’m taking a few weeks off to recharge before I make the final decision. I can’t be public about it just yet, but it’s a managing position at a startup where I’ll be responsible for creative social media campaigns. 5. Avoid burning bridges and venting Although you may have complained about a thousand different things while working at your company, you need to leave these things behind. Keep any negative feelings to yourself. Building bridges takes time, but you can burn them in a flick of a moment. Don’t destroy your connections and valuable friendships. It would be the dumbest thing to do when quitting. Remember that nobody fired you. It was your call to leave for a better opportunity. So even if it’s your boss that is the reason why youre leaving, dont make it personal. Maintain your composure and keep emotions in check. This will help you remember your final day as the day of firm handshakes and perhaps even a few hugs. Similarly to your first interview, the last conversation with your employer should leave him with a good impression rather than embarrassing memories. You never know when your paths cross again, especially if you intend to stay in the same industry or city. And also the more professional your farewell turns out to be, the easier it will be to get a decent reference from your former boss later on. If you feel your boss is open to criticism and you’d like to give some feedback, do so face-to-face and in a constructive manner. Instead of bringing up any negative reasons, focus on the positive aspects of your new position: Working more independently and supervising others is the next logical step in my career advancement. 6. Show that you’re willing to help with the transition It’s best to quit in a way that will ensure a smooth transition and minimise disruption to your employer. Still, you may unintentionally leave the company in dire straits and your employer’s business can suffer due to a void in expertise and experience. There are many things you can do to ease the situation. Prepare clear documentation of your work, complete your ongoing projects and tell your boss that youll keep your eyes peeled for potential candidates. It’s very likely that the company will need your guidance and expertise to train your successor. Your boss may also ask you whether they can reach out to you in the future with questions. So if you happen to be leaving on amicable terms, consider making yourself available in the weeks or months to come. On the other hand, you need to set some boundaries up front. That way you will save yourself from being continually bombarded with endless phone calls and emails as you’re trying to move on to the next thing. 7. Determine the date of your last day The traditional amount of notice is 2 weeks. But this can also depend on the type of contract, your position or the current projects you’re responsible for. Alternatively, a situation may arise when you may be unable to provide the required notice. If that happens, ask your employer politely if there is any way you could end employment sooner. All in all, you and your boss should agree on an official termination date that will be your last day of employment. Any accrued compensation or benefits will be calculated as of that date. 8. Don’t breach any confidentiality and non-compete agreements Look at your contract carefully. It may contain a confidentiality (non-disclosure) agreement with your employer. The document serves to protect any type of information that the employer deems valuable. And the violation of its terms by sharing your employer’s confidential and proprietary information could easily put you in legal hot water. Last but not least, make sure you’re not under the obligation of a non-compete agreement that could prevent you from breaking free from your current employer and starting your own business. However, if that’s the case, review the terms and conditions carefully and consult an attorney to determine your next steps. 9. Be prepared for every scenario After you’ve said your piece, it’s time to wait for your boss to respond. However, there are about a million different ways how he can react. He can ask you to leave immediately, stay a bit longer than you expected or make you reconsider your decision by offering a considerable pay rise. The best way to deal with this uncertainty is to prepare for every possibility. Consider the following outcomes: Leaving now scenario. Chances are your employer will ask you to pack up your things right away and cut off electronic access to any documents you worked with. Be also prepared to say farewell to your company-owned equipment and turn in things like a company car, phone, laptop, pager or tablet immediately after expressing your intentions. Staying longer scenario. Even if you’re already thinking of your next job, it might still be feasible for you to stay a couple of weeks longer than you originally intended. Be smart and consider asking your employer for a positive reference or recommendation letter in return. No quitting scenario. What to do when your boss wants you to stay? If you’re still undecided, ask for some time so that you can sleep on it. Stay rational and weigh all the pros and cons. If it makes sense to stay, do so. But bear in mind that even if you decide to stay on board, your attempt to quit is very likely to affect your relationship with your boss in the future. 10. Your last days at work Congratulations! You’ve made it through the meeting. But remember that you should follow up with an official resignation letter soon after. Furthermore, try to be as helpful as possible during your last few weeks. Hand over your projects to your colleagues and help them pick up right where you left off. Then, before leaving the office for the last time, send an email to all your colleagues. Make sure to include a sincere invitation to stay in touch via LinkedIn or your personal email address. This will help you keep your bridges intact even after you quit. Dont be afraid to tell your boss youre quitting   Talking to your boss can often be quite difficult, especially when it comes to quitting. But believe me - once it’s done, you’ll feel a huge surge of relief and happiness. It will mean that you once again reclaimed control over your career and decided to carve your own path. And that’s what people call freedom, I suppose! Ready to take the next step? Check out our ultimate guide on how to write a killer resume or create your own in our online  resume builder right away!

This is how using your phone in the bathroom affects your health

This is how using your phone in the bathroom affects your health This is how using your phone in the bathroom affects your health It may be a little uncomfortable to talk about the time we spend on the toilet. For many of us, those intimate moments are completely private - we’re not super thrilled about the idea of getting into our business about “doing our business.”But in an Internet age, there’s one habit a lot of us have taken up while we wait for a bowel movement, and it’s high time we talk about it.When we head to the loo, a good chunk of us take our cell phones with us so we can either read or play as we sit. And a bunch of doctors in Israel decided that we needed to understand how this practice impacts our health.They suspected that it might have a positive outcome - they hypothesized that reading during toilet time “provides a distraction and acts as an unconscious relaxation technique and allows an easier defecation process.” But they were wrong.First, let’s take a glance at the numbers. According to their research,  52.7% of the population takes part in toilet reading, and in Israel , men, younger adults, white collar workers, secular people and those with a higher education were more inclined toward the habit.But alas - the practice does not make us more prone to go to the bathroom! Researchers found that “although toilet readers spent significantly more time in the toilets, no differences were noted for the type or frequency of stools.” Meanwhile, toilet readers had more  hemorrhoids (ouch!), though not by a significant margin.“Toilet reading is a common and benign habit,” the authors wrote. “It is involved with a longer time spent in the toilet. It seems to be more for fun and not necessarily to solve or due to medical problems.”So go ahead - sit on that toilet and read. It’s not going to hurt you all that much, though you’re likely to waste a little time as you play Candy Crush.

You may list past accomplishments in your resume and cover letter but having professionals attest to your knowledge, skills, and professional work ethic can make a huge difference when employers are considering your candidacy while still considering other applicants. You can also ask your immediate supervisor for a letter of recommendation to attest to your strong work ethic and ability to do a good job. 5. Create a Way to Keep in Touch With Supervisors and Co-Workers Long After Your Internship Is Over Since building a professional network is one of the key things you wanted to accomplish at your internship, be sure to touch base with all supervisors and co-workers you worked closely with and share information on how you can keep in touch.

This is the way to make valuable connections for the future when you will be engaging in your job search after graduation. 6. Don’t Forget to Leave Without Saying Thank You Be sure to take the time to thank everyone who helped to make your internship a success. Single out individuals that went out of their way to help you during the course of your internship, no matter how small a role that they played. Showing your appreciation will make those individuals that played a key role in your internship feel good about their contribution and they will remember you fondly long after you’re gone.
