Tips for Maximizing Your Summer Experience

Tips for Maximizing Your Summer ExperienceTips for Maximizing Your Summer ExperienceAfter surviving the 2L interview season and deciding where you will spend your summer, you are now able to enjoy a well-earned break from thinking about summer employment. Yet even as you turn your focus back to classes, journals, and student groups, law firms are getting ready for your arrival Firm lawyers and legal recruiting teams spend hours between the end of the interview season and the start of the summer program in meetings- planning orientation, social events, and training programs. This is all to ensure that a thoughtful and well-executed program is in place for you to have a great experience. Here are our tips for making the most of what is prepared for youBe responsive. This is crucial to your success as a summer associate. It is never too early to establish good habits and make a positive impression. In the months leading up to the start of the summer program, you will receive multiple em ails from the legal recruiting team. Your replies will yield the information we need to prepare for your arrival. Accordingly, respond to those inquiries before their deadlines. Once you arrive as a summer associate, you should acknowledge receipt of and respond to lawyer emails and phone calls as promptly as possible. If you are going to be unavailable for a period of time, let the lawyers with whom you work know in advance.Show up. It sounds simple, but showing up means much mora than being physically present. When you arrive on your first day, strive to participate in the days events with a positive attitude. You will meet many new people from the moment you arrive, so you should anticipate and be open to new experiences. While you wont be able to attend every event, do avail yourself of as much as your schedule allows. This will give you the opportunity to get to know your fellow summer associates and lawyers more informally, outside the office. Associates and partners often tel l us that some of their closest friends today were former fellow summer associates. Look around and reach out to others to make the experience an enduring one.Unlock your resources. While you may initially find maneuvering around the firm to be daunting, there are many people who are more than willing to help. Legal secretaries can answer questions about submitting expenses, ordering supplies, and how to use the firms document management system. In addition, summer associates are typically paired with junior associates who were in your shoes not that long ago. They can serve as informal mentors, sharing what they wish they knew when they were summer associates. They can also answer questions about the work they do and how it is assigned, and introduce you to more senior lawyers. You may also work with a more senior lawyer who will overlandsee your projects during the summer and ensure you have exposure to the right mix of matters, lawyers, and practice groups. Be proactive and set u p weekly meetings to provide updates on your projects and get feedback. All of ansicht people can enhance your summer experience, so be sure to harness their expertise to make the most of your time. And remember, your firms legal recruiting team is there to support you throughout your summer, so do not be shy about seeking them out.Network. Networking effectively is a large part of succeeding in a summer program. Take advantage of every opportunity you can to enhance your skills. Participate in trainings and attend networking and other summer program events. In addition, try to get more comfortable doing outreach to individual lawyers. Seek out alumni from your law school and lawyers who work in practice areas of interest to you, and connect with the recruiters who recruited you during the interview process so you can share your experiences.Tackle Projects Professionally. Your firm will likely provide tips on being a successful summer associate- heed all of that advice and put it in to action Be proactive in setting up the initial project meeting with the assigning lawyer- dont wait for them to set it up. You want your assigning lawyers to feel confident that you understand the assignment and that you have the information you need to get it done. Take notes during meetings with assigning lawyers, and once you think you have a good grasp of the parameters of an assignment, summarize it in your own words to confirm you understand. Repeating back what you heard is important because it gives the assigning lawyer the opportunity to listen and digest what they just told you. They may then say, Yes, move forward or realize what they told you is not clear, or that they want you to head down a different path. Get clear deadlines (and respect them) and raise questions or concerns before it is too late to change course. Follow through with a cohesive work product and be confident when you report your findings, even if you cant find anything. As you work on projects over t he summer, provide the lawyers with regular updates on your progress instead of waiting for them to follow up with you.Take Time for Self Care. No matter which firm you choose, you will work hard during your summer to earn an associate offer. Simultaneously, we understand that you will also be juggling summer program events and other commitments. We want to give you the tools to manage competing priorities, find balance, and succeed long-term. That means sometimes saying no to additional commitments and making sure you are getting enough sleep, exercise, and healthy food. Make your well-being a priority.We wish you the best of luck in having a great experienceThis is a sponsored blog post by Sidley Austin LLP. To see the firms full profile, click here.

3 difficult habits that get easier over time the more you do them

3 difficult habits that get easier over time the more you do them 3 difficult habits that get easier over time the more you do them How many “positive habits” articles do you need to read before you start  taking action?Here’s the thing about forming positive habits: It is difficult.The things we know we should do, we don’t - and the reason we don’t is because they are challenging.They are not easy. They make us tired, or insist that we (gasp!) “think.”Follow Ladders on Flipboard!Follow Ladders’ magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and more!We don’t do them because, in some sense, we fear that they will be as difficult as they feel now,  forever.But the thing is (and anyone who has ever pushed themselves knows this), difficult things get easier the more you do them.Even the really hard habits, the ones that constantly feel strenuous, in some sense get easier with time. And the reason is because you not only become more skilled in that area, but you also become more patient with yourself throughout the process.Here are 3 essential habits everyo ne knows they should do, but tend not  to.And here’s exactly how you can get through the “difficult” phase and make them part of your daily routine.1. ReadingIf you’re reading this right now, you are (in some sense) on the right track.One of my favorite things to ask people is, “What was the last good book you read?” Most people are shocked, and I know the answer before they even say it: “Wow, I can’t remember the last book I read.”Sure, we read blogs, and tweets, and long-winded Facebook posts - but reading a book is different. Reading a book takes time, and patience, and especially when dealing with fiction versus nonfiction, both categories work different parts of your brain.Reading is  essential.I strive to read a book every other week. Two weeks is more than enough time to get through a roughly 300-page book.The best way I have found to create a habit of reading is to have it take the place of your smartphone and “filler time” social media usage.Whether t hat means reading on your iPhone or keeping a book in your backpack or purse, every time you have a few free minutes, open your book. When you’re waiting in line at the grocery store, open your book. When you are on the train, open your book. Anywhere and everywhere you would otherwise compulsively check your e-mail and Facebook notifications (the majority of which are not important), open your book.You’ll be amazed how quickly you move through material, and how much more stimulated your mind feels throughout the day. And, most important, reading will no longer feel like a chore. It will simply become a way to pass the time.A smarter escape, if you will.2. Waking up  earlyThis is the king of “habits I really should do, it’s just that my bed is so comfortable.”If you’re not a morning person, waking up early is horrible. It is not easy. It feels grueling, and you’re fighting yourself all the way to the shower - and then once the hot water hits your head, you practically fall right back asleep then and there.When most people try to instill this habit into their lives, they think it’s all about “waking up early.”It’s actually about something else.It’s about going to bed  earlier.Sleep is the constant.There are only two variables you can change: You either go to bed earlier, or you wake up later.If you want to create a successful early morning routine for yourself, it’s much more about mastering the evening routine that comes before  it.Slow yourself down an hour before bed.Read a book (see above) instead of browsing Instagram, so your eyes can relax. Meditate, or take a warm shower. Do activities that are intended to move you into sleep, so that you can wake up ready to go the next morning.Where people tend to go wrong is they set their alarm for 5:30 a.m., but still go to bed at midnight. That’s a disaster waiting to happen. And then of course, 5:30 rolls around, you’re exhausted, you call yourself a failure, etc.Focus on the night before - and stick with it. Nobody forms a habit after three days. It takes a bit. But once you do it for two or three weeks, it becomes your “normal,” and suddenly waking up early isn’t so difficult anymore.It’s just “what you do.”3. ForgivenessHad to throw a curve ball in here.Forgiveness. Compassion. Understanding. Patience. The act of listening and taking time to see life through someone else’s eyes: For many, this is not easy.What few seem to realize is that forgiveness and humble traits of the sort are not inherent. They don’t just “happen.” You have to practice them - no different than how you have to practice firing pucks at a hockey net to improve your wrist shot.To be forgiving or compassionate, in a way, is a  habit.As soon as you start to think of it as something that you can consciously practice, your approach to it inherently changes.Suddenly, moments, when you are frustrated or upset, become opportunities to react differently.I have witnessed man y people in my life make the proclamation that they are going to “turn things around” or “be better listeners” and then fail to keep their word for longer than a day, or an afternoon, or even an hour.And the reason is simple:  Habits don’t change overnight.Your personality, the way you react to situations, and the energy you bring to the moment is the way it is because that’s what you practice. Every day, in everything you do, that’s what you practice - so if you want to change that, you have to practice something different.But should you stick with it, and continue challenging yourself to step back, reflect, and react differently the next time, the easier it ultimately becomes - until eventually, it is simply “who you are.”This article originally appeared on Inc Magazine.You might also enjoy… New neuroscience reveals 4 rituals that will make you happy Strangers know your social class in the first seven words you say, study finds 10 lessons from Benjamin Franklin’s daily schedule that will double your productivity The worst mistakes you can make in an interview, according to 12 CEOs 10 habits of mentally strong people

How to preserve morale when the highest performer leaves

How to preserve morale when the highest performer leaves How to preserve morale when the highest performer leaves After two years of hard work, an employee who not only was the highest-performing but also  was a delight to work with, decides to quit, leaving other team members panicking about their future at the company.Here’s how to help your team move forward in this classic situation.Employees need to be well-equipped for changeMake sure there isn’t just one person who knows how to do a crucial task before anyone leaves. Regularly practicing key things like this can really help.  It’s a way to make sure your bases are covered, should someone quit or get sick.Other employees don’t necessarily need to have the same in-depth knowledge as the employee with the most extensive skill set in that area, but they should have a basic understanding and a framework for figuring it out.Talk to employees about what’s to comeDon’t leave everyone else in the dark.In a blog post for the Rapid Learning Institute, President CEO Stephen Meyer writes about how to talk to the team about a “voluntary departure.” This advice also applies when the person leaving the company is a high-performer.“Give some certainty to those who remain. Those who are staying will likely wonder whether and/or how the person is going to be replaced, and whether they’re going to be expected to pick up some of the person’s duties, temporarily or permanently. To the best of your ability, try to address these questions when the departure is announced.”Pay attention during the exit interviewA Paychex WORX post illustrates what managers should be prepared for during the employee’s exit interview.“Employees make the decision to quit a job for many reasons, money may be only one of those reasons. Once their decision is made, you have a valuable opportunity to learn why. Schedule an exit interview soon after the employee informs you of his or her decision and then have an open, honest discussion about the reasons behind the departure. Of course, ‘open and honest’ may include criticism of you and your managerial style. Becoming defensive or denying what the soon-to-be ex-employee says will get you nowhere. Focus on asking questions that can lead to improvements in your team and culture. When an employee quits, perhaps the most important question to ask is, ‘What changes to our business might have kept you on longer?’ “This might just help you make necessary changes for the future.

Executive Networking Dos and Donts for Finance Pros

Executive Networking Dos and Donts for Finance Pros Executive Networking Dos and Donts for Finance Pros Your professional connections have no doubt played an important role over the years in helping you advance your career in finance. And no matter how high you climb the corporate ladder, it’s essential for executive networking to remain a top priority, because you never know when you might need professional advice. In fact, not asking for help is a mistake many executives make, according to a recent Management Resources survey. Nearly a third (30 percent) of CFOs interviewed cited it as the top executive networking blunder. Another 23 percent of respondents said not keeping in touch with professional contacts or reaching out to them only when they need something is the greatest networking mistake executives make. Tim Hird, executive director of Management Resources, offers the following insight to finance executives: “Business is changing so rapidly, no one has all the answers or expects others to. Executives need a robust network, including mentors, peers, staff-level contacts, and experts from within and outside the company, to stay on top of trends, best practices and opportunities. To accomplish this, make sure you serve as a resource for your connections, too.” The following dos and don’ts of executive networking can help ensure you maintain a strong professional network that you not only benefit from but also give back to: DO be a proactive communicator Your professional network is like a living thing: to survive and thrive it must be nurtured diligently. The fact is, if you aren’t diligent about maintaining your connections, you may lose them. Also, if you only contact people when you need something, you risk being viewed as a nuisance - and a bit self-absorbed. Your contacts will easily (and understandably) grow weary of out-of-the-blue and urgent requests for assistance and thus, will be less inclined to assist you. Keep the lines of communication open with your valued contacts by checking in every few weeks or months with a quick email or phone call just to touch base and share any relevant news. Pay close attention to your social media networks and notifications, too. For example, when one of your contacts is celebrating a work anniversary, or announcing a promotion or a new job, be among the first to extend congratulations. DON’T hesitate to help your contacts Executive networking involves both giving and taking. However, our company’s recent survey of CFOs suggests finance executives may not always be giving back to the people in their professional network as much they should. “Not helping others” was among the top five executive networking mistakes cited by respondents. Embrace your role as a resource for valued contacts and be ready to help open doors, make connections and answer questions. And don’t just sit back and wait for someone to request guidance. When you see opportunities to offer advice and insight, reach out and let a contact know you’d be happy to talk or meet up if that person is interested and has the time. DO keep growing your network Your professional network should include diverse contacts at all levels of your profession, including peers and direct reports. Look for mentors and influencers within and outside of the financial field as well. Other strategies for expanding your network include joining and attending the networking events of professional organizations participating in relevant groups on sites like LinkedIn. Finding ways to give back can also help you establish new contacts while doing good for others. Becoming a mentor, for example, is a way to help other professionals develop their leadership skills - and to share your passion for and knowledge about the finance profession. Volunteering opportunities can also help you make new contacts in your local community. DON’T ever fail to say thank you Not thanking professional contacts when they provide help also made the top-five list of executive networking pitfalls in our survey. And really, it is an egregious mistake. There’s just no good excuse for not expressing your gratitude when another person helps you. So, when members of your network step up to assist you, whether it's to offer advice or introduce you to a new connection, be sure to thank them promptly, either through a phone call, an email or a personalized note. If a contact does something especially significant - such as help you land a new position or refer you to a great new hire - show your gratitude by taking that person to lunch or sending a small gift, if appropriate. These simple but meaningful gestures will help you build long-lasting professional connections and ensure your contacts will be glad to assist you again in the future. Even more important, they’ll help you earn a reputation for being a business leader with integrity.

How to Break Out of a Work Rut and Keep Growing -The Muse

How to Break Out of a Work Rut and Keep Growing -The Muse How to Break Out of a Work Rut and Keep Growing If you’re feeling stuck in your job, you’re not alone. It can happen for a variety of reasons: Maybe you’ve become captive to your routine, or you’re coping with a difficult boss, or you feel like you don’t quite fit in. But the good news is: It doesn’t mean you have to do something major, like up and quit. You can take smaller steps toward advancement and see if that makes the job you have the one you want, too. As Thomas Jefferson said, “I am a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it.” In that spirit, here are three things you can do to break out of a rut and start feeling good about your workdays again. 1. Get Out of Your Comfort Zone Network laterally across your company to learn about other departments, and apply your unique perspective to what they’re working on. For example, if your role is more inward-focused (i.e., product, operations, finance), collaborate with the sales team. This will develop differentiated skills such as empathy, storytelling, and public speaking that are keys to growth, particularly as a future leader. You’ll be developing new skills and relationships, and creating equity in yourself. Over her 20-year career at Goldman Sachs (from which she recently retired as a partner) my friend Lisa Shalett went from Head of International Equities Sales and Trading to COO of Global Compliance, Legal and Audit, to Head of Brand Marketing and Digital Strategy. Her advice: Look at every role as a platform for learning and exposure, and always seek steep learning curves. Push yourself to look at your role from other perspectives and ways to add value before you declare yourself stuck. If you are open-minded, you will see opportunities others don’t. Take smart risks, and have confidence in your imagination. In other words, don’t assume that your role at the company is limited to your position’s description. If you look for opportunities for growth, you may find the potential to do new and interesting things, which could open the door for exciting opportunities (and possibly a future promotion). 2. Create Micro-Internships for Yourself Create a series of “micro-internships” for yourself. You have a set of skills consisting not only of the functional ones from your day job, but also the accumulation of your experiences, hobbies, and education. If there aren’t natural places for you to apply your talents at your organization, targeting interesting companies who could use an extra set of hands or eyes, or clients who would pay for someone with your know-how. In 2009, as a research analyst at BlackRock, I became intrigued by startups, but didn’t have the relationships or experience to join one (or start my own). My job at the time was very specialized, focusing on evaluating hedge fund investments. For me, the natural segue was fintech (financial technology) and I got a handful of warm introductions to founders through friends. I shared my background and offered, “to be helpful, with no expectations.” The work I did ranged from critiquing pitch decks, helping with competitive landscape analysis, reviewing financial models, ghost writing blog posts, and making introductions to potential customers. Since it wasn’t an official internship, I got to decide how many hours I could devote to it, as well as how many weeks. Of course, some people may be rolling their eyes at the idea of essentially, “working for free.” However, I had a day job that paid my bills: I was compensated with relationships and a “peek” into the startup life, which were the assets I was looking for. To this day, I have advocates on my behalf (a few even tried to hire me). Plus, I’ve used my new knowledge to become an entrepreneur, something I wouldn’t have been able to do without this experience. 3. Spend Time Working on Your Brand Even if you’re not currently searching for a new company, becoming known as a thought leader’s incredibly valuable. (And no, not just for future job hunts!) Gaining a small following and then sharing original ideas and unique perspectives will almost always lead to interesting discussions and opportunities to learn more about your field. You may think that if you don’t have an audience right now, very few people will read what you’ve written so it’s not worth your time. However, your goal is not to become the next Warren Buffett, it’s to start building a presence so when people do find you, they have a reason to stick around. Whether that’s higher-ups at your company, other industry leaders, or people who aspire to be where you are right now. Maybe you use Pulse articles to flesh out your LinkedIn profile, or perhaps guest post, start a newsletter, or add a blog to your personal website. The point is: You want people to be able to see your awesome ideas and know they came from you. (And if you don’t think your ideas are awesome, spending time really thinking about what you’d like to talk about is a great creative challenge that’s almost guaranteed to get your brain moving again.) A friend of mine who was stuck and trying to get into venture capital wrote a Medium post explaining his view on how changing demographics and technology would influence brands, consumer behavior, and the fabric of metropolitan areas. Would a venture capitalist send it to their LPs? Probably not. Does it serve as a great springboard for further discussion? Absolutely. (Plus: He pinned it to his Twitter profile and it eventually helped him land a role at a top venture fund.) In addition to laying the groundwork for your own insights, publicly sharing your ideas shows dedication, creativity, communication skills, and grit. It’ll get you thinking through your philosophy, which can help you break free from holding yourself back. Maybe that means you do end up looking for a new job, or maybe it’s something you can point to at a future one-on-one to demonstrate your interests. Either way, it proves you want to be- and are capable of- doing more, which can be the first step to getting more responsibility. Getting unstuck won't happen overnight, but you will be amazed by the opportunities you can create by deliberately putting yourself and your ideas out to the right people. With a few simple steps you can open new avenues of possibility, and pull yourself out of that rut. Photo of co-workers talking courtesy of Image Works/Getty Images.

7 huge time-wasters at work and what you can do about them

7 huge time-wasters at work and what you can do about them 7 huge time-wasters at work and what you can do about them When I started my job as a content writer, there were so many new things to take in. Coming from the hectic world of broadcast journalism, I landed in a world powered by strict rules, established processes, and order. It required some adjusting on my part - I went from running around with a camera crew to sitting in front of my laptop, sipping tea, and writing one sentence after another.  It also changed my perception of workplace interruptions. In the field, you expect distractions. In the office, the environment is tailored to make people as efficient and productive as possible: quiet and spacious rooms, an optimal temperature, and minimal external influences.  But it turns out that when you get the big distractions out of the way, the small things can turn into the biggest time wasters.  Here are a seven common office time-wasters and how you can avoid them to be more productive.1. Unclearly defined tasksWhen I first started my current job, I was given the assignment to write a b log post about teamwork. I was confident in my research abilities, so I refused to ask for help or guidance on form, style, length, and focus.As it turns out, doing a post on “teamwork” is like doing a post on the “cosmos” - the topic is so vast that I didn’t know how to approach it. It took me three full days before I finally gave in and requested clarification. If you ever find yourself in the similar predicament, the worst thing you can do is say nothing. Talk to your manager and go over your tasks until you have a firm grasp on what is expected of you. 2. Futile researchEach position has its white whale: something that is rather expected to be done but is never quite achievable. For a salesperson, that is the sale of the century; for a developer, it’s a string of code that works on the first try; and for a content writer, it’s the creation of original, relevant post without wasting countless hours on research. During the first few weeks on the job, I realized that a lot of Internet content is recycled. Finding an original, relevant post about a certain topic can feel like nothing short of a miracle. There are two ways to handle this: you can either continue to work as usual, or you can find an unusual solution. I turned to sources so that I could write posts that were 100% original.3. Unorganized notes  There is nothing wrong with taking notes on pieces of paper (as long you don’t lose them), but relying solely on a notepad or countless sticky notes may not be the best approach.Until recently, I carried a notebook and a pen with me at all times. Now, I rely on Evernote  to make digital notes. Hundreds of pages take up a lot less space if they are comfortably snuggled in your phone.This approach will help you keep your knowledge and thoughts at the tip of your fingers, organized and accessible at all times.  4. Overflowing inboxI hadn’t heard of the term “Inbox zero” before I started working as a content writer. At that point, I foun d it odd that somebody would have trouble managing their inbox.  Was I naive! Now, I am swarmed with emails from relevant and irrelevant sources, and managing my inbox takes a bite out of my precious time.To be more productive with emailing, I schedule a meeting with myself. Each morning, I spend about 30 minutes focused solely on sorting, answering, and archiving received emails - no distractions allowed. There are multiple tools that can help you organize your inbox, but I rely on Gmail and its multiple inbox  feature. 5. Lengthy pointless meetings Many of us require continuous periods of concentrated work to get anything done. Poorly-scheduled and unnecessary meetings  can turn a four-hour assignment into a six-hour one. If you want to maintain your productivity throughout the day, insist on short,  well-planned, morning stand-up meetings. They are the least likely to waste your time and interfere with your work.If, however, you need inspiration for your latest assignment, do no t rush yourself. Take the time to sit down with your coworkers during a coffee break and discuss potential approaches. The occasional brainstorm is a perfect way to get those creative juices flowing.6. Toxic workplaceToo much noise or an awkward silence can both be equally bad in the office. Negative energy can refocus your attention on the task at hand to trivial matters that happen around you. The situation can be especially difficult if one member of your team is a dreaded toxic co-worker. If possible, ask to work remotely. If that is not an option and you are required to stay at the office, try to isolate yourself from the source of stress as much as possible. Either move to another room, or simply choose a comfy set of headphones, play some music, or block everything out with white noise. Personally, I found the sound of rain perfect for achieving full focus. 7. Unnecessary procedures This is the ultimate time waster. Sometimes, unnecessary procedures can be minor, and sometime s they can be outright annoying. They are often caused by an incompetent manager or an attachment to the relic of when things were done differently.If you notice procedures like this, alert the management and point out that a certain process is consuming time and effort for no justified reason. They will either recognize that there’s a problem and make adjustments, or they will dismiss your complaint and deem procedure necessary on account that “it has always been done that way.” If latter is the case, you may want to consider changing companies.Final wordsEven though each of these time wasters may not seem that serious, they  still can be a serious drain on productivity, preventing you from focusing on real work, causing you stay over time, or making you take the stress of the unfinished business home to your family. You should look to eliminate them right away.

How to ask for a raise at work, plus a breakdown of the 5 Ws

How to ask for a raise at work, plus a breakdown of the 5 Ws How to ask for a raise at work, plus a breakdown of the 5 Ws Money. We all want more of it. While some of us opt for a side hustle, some of us look towards our actual place of employment for the bump to our bank account. But talking about money is hard for a lot of people, and talking about money at work can be even more difficult. Ladders spoke with Richard Deosingh, the district president for Robert Half, to answer all your questions surrounding how to ask for a raise at work.Who should you ask for a raise at work?Your direct supervisor is the best person to ask for a raise at work. “It should be a conversation with the individuals who the employee directly reports to and no one else,” Deosingh said.What do you do if you ask your manager for a raise and he/she says no?A tight office budget could be the reason your boss declined your request for a pay raise. Companies with limited funds usually give out raises on strict timelines. If this is the case, you can always barter for benefits like extra vacation days, the option to work remotely on occasion, or paid professional training.Follow Ladders on Flipboard!Follow Ladders’ magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and more!“If you think you deserve a raise but your boss declines, make sure you understand why they said no and ask when you can revisit the topic down the road,” said Deosingh.If your boss cites a lack of skill or experience as the reason for declining your request, make sure to ask how you can improve your work and hustle your way to a promotion or raise.When should you ask for a raise at work?Annual performance reviews can be the most appropriate times to ask for a raise at work. If your company doesn’t have a system of annual performance reviews, speak with your manager about setting one up. Not only is it a great chance to learn how to improve in your role, but it can be the perfect time to ask for a raise at work. Deosingh said that it is completely acceptable for an employee to ask for a raise at their first annual performance review, but that doesn’t guarantee it’ll be approved.“During a performance review, asking for a raise can be a natural tie-in, but that’s certainly not the only time to broach the subject,” Deosingh said.In fact, a great time to ask for a raise is after important triumphs at work. For example, the days or weeks after completing a big project or landing an impressive client are good times to ask for a raise.“Major accomplishments that have benefited the company and show your worth can make it clear to your employer that you’re worth the additional pay,” Deosingh said.While the time after the completion of a successful project is a great time to request a raise, Deosingh reminds employees not to go looking for a raise after every  successful project.Additionally, keep in mind is to schedule a meeting with your boss during a slower time, not  one of a million meetings and high stress.Another time component to be mindful of is whether t he company is in a position to offer you a pay raise at the moment. If the company has recently undergone budget cuts or layoffs, it’s probably not the best time to ask for a raise.Where should you go to do research in preparation to ask for a raise at work?Preparation for a meeting about a raise cannot be emphasized enough. Besides timing, preparation is the determining factor in whether or not your manager approves your raise or not.Before your meeting, you should prepare information about yourself as well as data about your role and industry.Deosingh suggests making a list of your key accomplishments that support your request for a pay bump. You should be prepared to discuss how those achievements benefited the company. Numbers (with dollar signs attached) usually speak louder than anything else.Deosingh also suggests not using solely the past tense for your argument, but also think long-term and look into the future. Sharing strategic ideas for the company will not only impres s your boss but also convince them that you’re there for the long run.You want to make sure you go into the meeting knowing the salary that someone in your position is typically making in the current market. There are a variety of tools available online that you can use to do this. Deosingh suggests checking Robert Half’s 2019 Salary Guides to make sure what you’re asking for is in alignment with your market.Also consider the fact that some companies may only be able to give fixed-rate raises, such as a 2% increase. Most companies will outline the raise-and-bonus policy in the employee handbook, so make sure to read that over before scheduling a meeting to discuss a raise with your boss. The normal amount for an increase is anywhere from 2% to 5%, according to Deosingh.Why should you never ask for a raise with an ultimatum?“It should never, ever be an ultimatum,” Deosingh said. “Don’t say, ‘Give me money or else I’m leaving.’ That’s not productive.”An ultimat um makes this meeting more of a negotiation than a conversation.“If you approach it professionally…if you have a conversation it’s not going to, and shouldn’t, change the relationship that you have with your direct report or employer,” Deosingh said.How should you ask for a raise at work?The first step to asking for a raise is to make sure you’re in a professional place to make a good case for a raise. Are you meeting or exceeding all your employer’s expectations? Are you getting paid less than is the industry normal? Do you deserve to get paid more than the industry normal?Once you have organized research and a solid case, request a meeting with your boss. If your annual performance review is coming up, make sure your argument is fully formed by then. During the meeting, don’t approach your boss with an ultimatum or attack, but with a civilized and informed discussion. Present your case, reference your research, and open the discussion. The rest is up to your manage r.You might also enjoy… New neuroscience reveals 4 rituals that will make you happy Strangers know your social class in the first seven words you say, study finds 10 lessons from Benjamin Franklin’s daily schedule that will double your productivity The worst mistakes you can make in an interview, according to 12 CEOs 10 habits of mentally strong people

Jobs for Non-Citizens in the Marine Corps

Jobs for Non-Citizens in the Marine Corps Jobs for Non-Citizens in the Marine Corps While the following Marine Corps MOSs (Jobs) do not require U.S. Citizenship, one must be a legal immigrant (with a green card) residing in the United States in order to join any branch of the United States Military. The green card is slang for Permanent Resident Card. It used to be green, but now looks more like a drivers license. The card is issued by the  Citizenship and Immigration Services  of the Department of Homeland Security and contains a photo and fingerprint.  The Department of Defense, and in this case the Marine Corps, cannot and will not assist with immigration. One must legally immigrate first, and then apply to join the U.S. Marine Corps. Once an immigrant joins the U.S. Military, normal residency requirements are waived and they can apply to become a United States Citizen, after 3 years of active duty. One must be a U.S. Citizen to become a commissioned officer, or to re-enlist in the military. The below MOSs are the jobs that non-citizens are allowed to do in the Marine Corps. These do not require a high security clearance. Only citizens are allowed to be given secret security clearances and above. 0121- Personnel Clerk 0151- Administrative Clerk 0311- Rifleman 0313- LAV Crewman 0331- Machine Gunner 0341- Mortarman 0351- Assaultman 0352- Antitank Assault Guided Missileman 0411- Maintenance Management Specialist 0811- Field Artillery Cannoneer 1141- Electrician 1142- Electrical Equipment Repair Specialist 1161- Refrigeration Mechanic 1171- Hygiene Equipment Operator 1181- Fabric Repair Specialist 1316- Metal Worker 1341- Engineer Equipment Mechanic 1345- Engineer Equipment Operator 1361- Engineer Assistant 1371- Combat Engineer 1391- Bulk Fuel Specialist 1812- M1A1 Tank Crewman 1833- Assault Amphibious Vehicle (AAV) Crewman 2111- Small Arms Repairer/Technician 2131- Towed Artillery Systems Technician 2141- Assault Amphibious Vehicle (AAV) Repairer/Technician 2146- Main Battle Tank (MBT) Repairer/Technician 2147- Light Armored Vehicle (LAV) Repairer/Technician 2161- Machinist 3043- Supply Administration and Operations Clerk 3051- Warehouse Clerk 3052- Packaging Specialist 3112- Traffic Management Specialist 3361- Subsistence Supply Clerk 3381- Food Service Specialist 3432- Finance Technician 3521- Organizational Automotive Mechanic 3531- Motor Vehicle Operator 3533- Logistics Vehicle System Operator 4341- Combat Corespondent 4421- Legal Services Specialist 4612- Combat Lithographer 5526 to 5566- Musician 5831- Correctional Specialist 6048- Flight Equipment Technician 6061- Aircraft Intermediate Level Hydraulic/Pneumatic Mechanic-Trainee 6071- Aircraft Maintenance Support Equipment (SE) Mechanic-Trainee 6072- Aircraft Maintenance Support Equipment Hydraulic/ Pneumatic Structures Mechanic 6073- Aircraft Maintenance Support Equipment Electrician/ Refrigeration Mechanic 6074- Cryogenics Equipment Operator 6091- Aircraft Intermediate Level Structures Mechanic- Trainee 6092- Aircraft Intermediate Level Structures Mechanic 6111- Helicopter/Tiltrotor Mechanic-Trainee 6112- Helicopter Mechanic - CH-46 6113- Helicopter Mechanic - CH-53 6114- Helicopter Mechanic - UN/AH-1 6116- Tiltrotor Mechanic - MV-22 6122- Helicopter Power Plants Mechanic - T-58 6123- Helicopter Power Plants Mechanic - T-64 6124- Helicopter Power Plants Mechanic - T-400/T-700 6132- Helicopter/Tiltrotor Dynamic Components Mechanic 6151- Helicopter/Tiltrotor Airframe Mechanic-Trainee 6152- Helicopter Airframe Mechanic - CH-46 6153- Helicopter Airframe Mechanic - CH-53 6154- Helicopter Airframe Mechanic - UN/AH-1 6156- Tiltrotor Airframe Mechanic - MV-22 6211- Fixed-wing Aircraft Mechanic-Trainee 6212- Fixed-Wing Aircraft Mechanic - AV-8/TAV-8 6213- Fixed-Wing Aircraft Mechanic - EA-6 6214- Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Mechanic 6216- Fixed-Wing Aircraft Mechanic - KC-130 6217- Fixed-Wing Aircraft Mechanic - F/A-18 6222- Fixed-Wing Aircraft Power Plants Mechanic - F-402 6223- Fixed-Wing Aircraft Power Plants Mechanic - J-52 6226- Fixed-Wing Aircraft Power Plants Mechanic - T-56 6227- Fixed-wing Aircraft Power Plants Mechanic - F-404 6251- Fixed-Wing Aircraft Airframe Mechanic-Trainee 6252- Fixed-Wing Aircraft Airframe Mechanic - AV-8/TAV-8 6253- Fixed-Wing Aircraft Airframe Mechanic - EA-6 6256- Fixed-Wing Aircraft Airframe Mechanic - KC-130 6257- Fixed-Wing Aircraft Airframe Mechanic - F/A-18 6281- Fixed-Wing Aircraft Safety Equipment Mechanic- Trainee 6282- Fixed-Wing Aircraft Safety Equipment Mechanic - AV-8/TAV-8 6283- Fixed-Wing Aircraft Safety Equipment Mechanic - EA-6 6286- Fixed-Wing Aircraft Safety Equipment Mechanic - KC-130 6287- Fixed-Wing Aircraft Safety Equipment Mechanic - F/A-18 6511- Aviation Ordnance Trainee 6531- Aircraft Ordnance Technician 6541- Aviation Ordnance Systems Technician 6672- Aviation Supply Clerk 6673- Automated Information Systems (AIS) Computer Operator 7011- Expeditionary Airfield Systems Technician 7051- Aircraft Firefighting and Rescue Specialist 7314- Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Air Vehicle Operator Special provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) state:  U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) may expedite the application and naturalization process for current members of the U.S. armed forces and recently discharged service members.  Here is some of the history of helping to speed up the process of becoming a citizen of the United States for military members and veterans. Recently, President George H.W. Bush and his son President George W. Bush signed executive orders which allowed any military member (active duty, Reserves, or National Guard) to apply for citizenship, without any residency requirement. These orders also covered veterans of certain designated past wars and conflicts. This saves the military member five years on the civilian applicant for citizenship so when you hear the military help you accelerate the process, this is what that means.

It happens.It’s your ability to recover that matters.You can impact your brain function and cognitive abilities by making simple tweaks here and there to your daily routine.If you are looking to improve your concentration to perform better at work, or simply to make everyday life easier, you will find these ideas useful.It only takes a few minutes to completely clear your head and restore higher-level thinking.Recognise and name your state of mindAt our best, we feel calm, confident, focused, enthusiastic, and optimistic. That’s when we’re most productive and get along best with others.At our worst, we typically experience self-doubt, impatience, irritability, defensiveness, and pessimism and we tend to lose focus.Most of us move along the spectrum between our best and our worst all day long, depending on what’s going on around us.Ladders is now on SmartNews!Download the SmartNews app and add the Ladders channel to read the latest career news and advice wherever you go.To maximize your output and make the most of your brain energy, it’s important to recognize your state of mind at any point in time.Naming your emotions tends to lessen the burden of being at your worst.The physician and psychiatrist Dan Siegel refers to this practice as “name it to tame it.”David Rock argues that when you are experiencing significant internal tension and anxiety, you can reduce stress by up to 50 percent by noticing and naming your state.In “Your Brain at Work”, David Rock says, “Without this ability to stand outside your experience, without self-awareness, you would have little ability to moderate and direct your behavior moment to moment.”He writes, “You need this capacity to free yourself from the automatic flow of experience and to choose where to direct your attention. Without a director, you are a mere automaton, driven by greed, fear, or habit.”Schedule block s of time for different modes of thinkingOur brains have two modes. When you are doing creative work, learning something new, or working on your most important tasks, you are in the “focused” mode.Your brain assumes “diffuse” mode when you are relaxed, taking a walk, or daydreaming. Studies have shown that activity in many regions of the brain increases when your minds wander. Your brain solves its difficult problems while you daydream.Psychologist Scott Barry Kaufman argues that “mind wandering serves multiple adaptive functions, such as future planning, sorting out current concerns, cycling through different information streams, distributed learning (versus cramming), and creativity.”According to engineering professor Barbara Oakley, author of “A Mind for Numbers: How to Excel at Math and Science (Even If You Flunked Algebra),” in addition to this “focused mode” - which relies on your brain’s prefrontal cortex - we also learn through a “diffuse mode,” r ooted in the operations of a variety of different brain regions.In fact, the brain switches back and forth between these modes regularly.Barbara explains “When you’re focusing, you’re actually blocking your access to the diffuse mode. And the diffuse mode, it turns out, is what you often need to be able to solve a very difficult, new problem.”Schedule purposeful breaksAccording to research, the brain gradually stops registering a sight, sound or feeling if that stimulus remains constant over time. You lose your focus and your performance on the task declines.Studies have shown that workers are most focused and productive when following the rhythm of a work/rest ratio.When faced with a long creative problem, it is best to impose brief breaks on yourself. Brief mental breaks will actually help you stay focused on your task and improve your idea generation approach. A structured downtime can help you do your best work.We tend to generate redundant ideas when we don’t take reg ular breaks. If you’re hesitant to break away because you feel that you’re on a roll, be mindful that it might be a false impression. Your brain needs downtime to remain industrious and generate better ideas.Your brain needs downtime to remain creative and generate its most innovative ideas.A growing body of evidence shows that taking regular breaks from mental tasks improves creativity and that skipping breaks can lead to stress, exhaustion, and creative block.Idleness is not a vice, it is indispensable for making those unexpected connections in the brain you crave and necessary to getting creative work done.If you are struggling to solve complicated problems might be better off switching to “diffuse” mode and letting their mind wander.Take proper breaks, often. Sometimes you just need a break - a chance to reboot the system.Take a walk. A few minutes stroll can increase blood flow to the brain, which can boost creative thought. Charles Darwin took long walks around London .Dickens wrote his novels between the hours of 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. After that, he would go out for a long walk. He once said, “If I couldn’t walk fast and far, I should just explode and perish.”Find time to doodle. Let your mind wander as you embrace pen and paper, again.
