I dont think youll get an interview that way, though. Did you know there are several clear benefits to not applying for a job right away? Lets go over thoseYou Say You Want To Stand Out, SoStand OutThe way you do that is by doing your research. I know you hate the concept of research. The word itself automatically sounds like its going to be hard. Thats why, far too often, your research translates into hopping on over to the about us or company history pages and lifting a few facts from the companys own web site to say back to the company. Stop doing that. Thats not research.Find out what the company is doing today. Company history is the opposi te of today. Especially if the company is local, the good-old fashioned newspaper that, yes, is still printed in 2018, is your best bet. Make sure you read the business section or your citys business journal. All youre looking for is some indication of what the company is working on, what they have under development, what award theyve just won, or what division, plant, or location theyre about to open. Fold what you learn into your cover letter so you meet your original goal of standing out.Brand Yourself As The Companys Most vertrauenswrdig FanCreative people do this all the time, with wild success. Those people who you hear about landing jobs at Google, Dropbox, Squarespace, and Facebook? Many of them land those roles they love because they love the companies, what theyre developing, and what they stand for.Just this week, a candidate Im working with posted on social media about a company he likes. He took a picture of him using the brand and hashtagged the company. He recently la nded a role, so hes no longer actively searching at this precise moment.

If you like the product so much, youre likely to enjoy the company culture as well. Youre already a raving fan. This deep like is already natural to you express that. Doing so will definitely move you away from some dry, boring cover letter, to what really excites you about that organization.Expand From Job Search To Company SearchWhile those 1,000 people are going for that 1 job ad you saw, I want you to rise above all that. The traditional path goes like this you apply, hear nothing, and the opportunity is over. But when you expand from job search to company search, the path is not a quick dead end.Identify the organizations youre interested in, then do your research, make yourself into a raving fan, and identify the key dec ision makers. There is absolutely zero excuse for not connecting with a human being through LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, or Google+. Many of these social media platforms have little to no barriers to communication.This is not to say youre going to stalk the decision maker. But use social media channels to make a connection, post a retweet, or comment on a discussion. Keep your name top of mind, showcase your expertise, and all the while, act like a normal human being. When it comes time to send in your resume, that social media connection may just turn out to be a real-world connection.Candidates who go from job searching to job found quickly do so because they think differently.

72 hours in Louisville the Kentucky bourbon trail

72 hours in Louisville the Kentucky bourbon trail72 hours in Louisville the Kentucky bourbon trailIn Kentucky, horses are everything except maybe for bourbon. I thought I knew enough about the legendary liquid how to make a perfect Manhattan. But when I hit the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, an integral pspecies of a visit to Louisville, Kentucky, my Manhattans were infinitely improved.Follow Ladders on FlipboardFollow Ladders magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and moraBourbon history is intertwined with Kentucky traditions, not the least of which is the Kentucky Derby, which takes place annually in this compact metropolis. I had (sadly) missed the world famous race but had at least been successful in quaffing its emblematic drink, the Mint Julep. To me, its a cocktail that conjures a grand plantation scene on a Hollywood backlot, and Ive learned the hard way that a Julep is either fantastic or terrible, i.e. polar opposites. It has a l ot to do with whos behind the bar, the freshness of the mint, and just what kind of bourbon is poured inside the tin cup.Ill never forget my first, sipped in a French Quarter Bar inNew Orleansafter a boiling day. It was a disaster. I wondered what had catapulted it to iconic status, then later understood completely after I had a serious sit down tasting session of a slew of hallowed bourbon brands.Bourbon takes its name from Bourbon County, Kentucky, once the major shipping site for spirits headed down the Ohio River to New Orleans. Its been declared by Congress Americas Official Native Spirit and plays a big part in Kentucky craftsmanship and tradition as practically all of it is distilled and aged there. bedrngnis surprisingly, the production process is mandated by law bourbon must be made with at least 51% corn and aged in new, white oak barrels, the insides charred which imparts the amber color. Its aged a minimum of 2 years although some of the small batch varieties are aged up to eight.The Kentucky Bourbon Trail is found by driving about an hour or so outside the city and it stretches roughly 75 miles East to West from Lexington to Loretto. Its rolling bluegrass hills are dotted with warehouses and distilleries, including well-known brands like Four Roses, Woodford Reserve, and Makers Mark. Some have elaborate visitors centers with guided tours, tastings, and plenty of Americas favorite brown spirit on hand to take home. The perfect weather on the day of our outing only added to the scenic wonderland, and the small towns dotted here and there were full of surprises.But in my mind, theres no better place to celebrate Louisvilles bourbon heritage than the Lobby Bar of The Brown Hotel. After admiring a massive sculpted iron timepiece perched on a pedestal outside the entrance, I enter the downstairs lobby, the walls graced with replicas of famous works of art. I climb a grand staircase toward reception to the sound of a tinkling piano and the clinking of mi nt julep cups. Its Happy Hour and the Brown is abuzz. The hotel, a historic property from 1923 that reeks of wealth and power, is the epicenter of downtown Louisville. It breathes refinement, and the interior decoration is over the top. With elaborately carved coffered ceilings, porticoed arches and supersized Chinese jardinieres, the lobby looks like a place where J. Paul Getty would be right at home. Enormous iron chandeliers with yellow shades emit a diffused copper glow and the bar is bathed in it. We score one of only 4 seats, no easy feat even on a weeknightWhen we tell Tad, our barman, that were on a mission to try the perfect Mint Julep, he perks up. Glancing at the myriad of bourbon choices on the shelves, he singles out a Four Roses 12 yr. blended small batch and suggests we try it neat. I feel an instant connection to the brand as it was a favorite of my parents when I was a kid. And wed had a tasting at the distillery in Lawrenceburg the day before that won us over. The liquid is intensely flavorful with notes of ripened red berries and hints of caramel it goes down easy. Yup, Tad, thats the one, we bellow. In minutes he has muddled the mint, measured the spirit, and added the ice and simple syrup. Deftly bringing the mixture to life and coolness with his coiled bar spoon, he slowly slides the cups in our direction. Now that one is my opus, he proudly roars. Weve longed for this first sip and are finally getting it. Mere minutes go by before weve hit bottom. You know what? He was right. But were just getting warmed up and have a whole lot more bourbon to drink.

How to help yourself when youre helping others

How to help yourself when youre helping othersHow to help yourself when youre helping othersA colleague of mine recently attended an educational conference. She met a teacher during a session about working with students who have experienced trauma.The teacher said that she knew how to help traumatized students but asked wonderingly, How do I help me? You have to get into their lives in order to teach them. And their trauma is deep. It stays with you. So, heres my question After I go over the line to help them, who pulls me back?Sadly, traumatic situations do not only affect students and their teachers. Many working professionals have also experienced workplace trauma, which can be categorized as followsStressful events (death, grief, suicide, accident or injury)Organizational stressors (bullying, threats, harassment, betrayal, maliciousness, extreme isolation,chronic pressure, toxic work environment, uncertainty, fear for the future, downsizing or fear of unemployment)Physical stress ors (noise, chaotic environment, sense of no control over space, fear for physical safety, harsh or flashing lights, extremes of heat or cold, working amid construction)External threats (evacuation, lockdown, fire or robbery)According to a2015 poll measuring the impact of traumatic workplace events, the top four workplace events that caused the most trauma, stress and anxiety are as follows (as quoted from the article)Employer announcing layoffs/job losses (28%)Workplace violence/criminal activity in the community (25%)Death of a colleague/co-worker (19%)Natural disaster impacting the workplace (14%)The poll, commissioned by Workplace Options, found that fewer than half (46%) of people experiencing an on-the-job traumatic incident were offered any type of employer support afterward. Such support, in the form of emotional support or counseling, would be welcomed by 67% of respondents.Leaders who properly support their people not only help their workforce recover and bounce back quick ly, but they also make a clear statement that says at this company, our people come first.It may be easier said than done, but leaders who want to successfully and sustainably support their people must be able to keep themselves strong and fresh. They need to understand that they wont be able to help others if they dont help themselves while maintaining healthy boundaries.We also need to recognize that we cant do it alone. Sure, we may be well-trained and feel equipped. But in most cases, traumatic situations are too big and complex for a single person to handle independently.Here are some things leaders can do to stay healthy, energized and properly buoyed so that they can be fully supportive of their employees needs.Develop a growth mindset.Our mindsets play a significant role in how situations affect us. If we view our roles more narrowly, as in instructional providers and facilitators, then we will feel drained when we extend beyond our comfort zones. Our fixed mentalities will convince us that we simply cannot go there. Leaders who embrace the new normal of leadership, however, will find ways to grow and start to view themselves as capable of properly dealing with it.Dont take it personally.Employees who have experienced trauma arent trying to push your buttons. They are simply dealing with complicated situations and may not have the tools and bandwidth to do so in predictable and rational ways.Remind yourself of your impact, even when you cant see it.Henry Adams once said, A teacher affects eternity he can never tell where his influence stops. The same, to an extent, can be said for leaders. We simply cannot know the impact of our work while we are performing it.Disconnect.We all need personal time. As much as you want to help and be available, make sure to disconnect often so that that you can recharge and bring your best self to each situation.Prioritize your health.If we are unhealthy, how can we hope to help others get healthier and whole? Proper nut rition and ample sleep are absolutely critical to ensure that we stay well and remain the influencers we need to be.Get support.Make full use of counselors and other professionals whose role is to support you and your people. If you dont have such professionals on staff, be proactive in connecting with and vetting some so that you can access their services as needed.Naphtali Hoff, PsyD,(impactfulcoach) is president ofImpactful Coaching Consulting.

It feels like tortureOn top of that, memories are dicey. They are unreliable, which makes them less then ideal companions in the endeavor to present the best of yourself on paper to a prospective employer.Therefore, this is one of the most important articles youll ever read addressing effective career management.Dont Rely on Your Memory Keep Track as You GoPlease do not be the person who tries to sell all of their talent through the lens of a single-sheet resume constructed with shoddy memories. Dont let your memory be your only resource It will not help you represent the best of yourself.To stop underrepresenting yourself, putthese career management tips into practice immediately1. Keep Track of Your Job Experience ina Job JournalNot only will this be extremely beneficial when its time to write a new resume, but itwill also begreat for your performance reviews. This is your memory bank on paper2. Try to Quantify What Youre DoingThat way, you can express your accomplishments and value at work in the form of hard data, which can be highlighted on your resume.Examples- XYZ project was completed three days ahead of time.- The successful event was put together for $2,000 under budget.- I saved a customer from going to a competitor, which saved us $X dollars.3. Pay Attention to What You Really Enjoy DoingWhen I ask my career coaching clients, What work activity gives you high levels of satisfaction?, many cannot answer.Its easiest to identify what satisfies you when youre in the act of doing it. Levels of satisfaction are not necessarily dictated by job title or description, but by job functions .Ask yourself, What in my job, do I like doing? Notice the level of enjoyment or satisfaction you feel when doing some task. Rate it on a scale of 1-5 for future decision-making. Remember Its not the job description or the job itself that youre rating its the individual tasks and activities you engage in at work.This final tip is one of the most important I can give you. It is the most essential in crafting a meaningful career experience. When Im career coaching, I ask, What did you most enjoy doing in previous roles? Many cant remember or dont recall accurately, particularly when they are trying to recollect from several years prior.The inability to zero in on what you enjoy will contribute to a pattern of perpetually choosing jobs that you willfind unfulfilling. This will keep you locked in an ongoing quest for an ideal job and it will adversely impact your engagement levels at work.Though we in HR talk a lot about an employers responsibility to help employeesstayengaged, this is a two-way street. We each play a part, yet I do believe it ultimately rests with the employee. Your engagement is substantially influenced by your level of work satisfaction. That choice is yours.As you can gather, these critical tips are not one-time activities. They are ongoing practices. In fact, theyre so important they should be considered career management habits, not tipsSo, are you in the habit oftracking your experiencepaying attention to what truly brings you enjoymentand quantifying your contributions and value?These habits are essential elements of career success. They are the best career management tips youll ever get so be sure to follow themJoAnn Corley is CEO of The menschengerecht Sphere.
