Meet the 93-year-old woman who only want five days a week and never to retire
At 93, Betty Reid Soskin is something of a celebrity.
A ranger assigned to WWII Rosie Front National Historical Park in Richmond, California, frequently writes on his blog , has a Wikipedia page , and was interviewed by NPR and popular.
They became so popular, he said that the tour of the park audiences have doubled months, the visits are booked in advance, and the park has added views follow.
No doubt why Soskin enjoys celebrity status: She saw and lived everything "many, many lives", as he said NPR.
Soskin served as a clerk in an association of black paint during the Second World War, a political activist and composer during the civil rights movement was, he observed, and now interprets his experience of war through their stories.
But it is not only the oldest active duty in the National Park Service - Soskin helped shape what the park has first as a consultant and then as an interpretation park.
She works five days a week, five hours a day, and sometimes overtime. On Wednesday and Friday Soskin day answering e-mails and petitions spend in his office at the headquarters of downtown Richmond. Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays education Visitor Center and provide two or three performances in their small theater.
Some days are bus tours through the sites that make the National Park or presentations are carried out.
Soskin Business Insider recently an insight into their experiences.
Business Insider: How did you start in the National Park Service?
Betty Reid Soskin: I as a state employee joined in the planning phase of a national park in 2000. An emerging distributed locations was the Ford assembly plant, which was designed by Albert Kahn and built on land belonging to the state.
This means that, as a sales representative for a member of the California State Assembly, had a seat at the table of the most important planning for this landmark building was built on land belonging to the state. It was built on air rights. This brings me to the residence, eventually the role of advisor for the National Park Service, which later paid a contract worker by the Trust Rosie. I resigned my position with the state in the year of 2003.
What were the early influences in your career?
If you held nine decades before entering lived in the park service many roles - wife, mother, artist, teacher, dealer, administrative support, sales representative for a member of the legislature, head of a research project UC Berkeley psychology department, chief of staff of the City Council in the city of Berkeley - each color added to my current career and influenced my work in every way.
What are the most useful skills to have in order to be a park ranger?
It would be dependent on the area in which one is assigned. Rangers from the National Park Service, the whole range of career opportunities - botany, marine biology and forestry communication and graphic design - skills reflect a variety of areas.
If one is in the interpretation, people skills are definitely a plus, and enough imagination and the ability to communicate research to enable problems throughout the private park.
However, I must admit that I'm not an interpreter training and what skills I got to do with me - were acquired under long before they discovered the park service.

Self-imposed ageism: If you are your own worst enemy
Age discrimination is a major problem, especially for older workers and job seekers.

(Limiting beliefs relate to thoughts or stories you tell yourself you do not and do not support the impact of their decisions and behavior.)

Chamorro-Premuzic said it is also important to note that some questions are never used to capture the personality of the candidates. Instead, employers are looking at all your answers to the values and skills come with dozens of his traits.
However, Chamorro-Premuzic provided generally seen a number of questions in Assessments of personality, with an explanation of what they might mean and how to respond. For each of them, candidates are asked whether they agree with the statement.

How to say "no" at work, without like an idiot
A client of mine recently told me about an employee apparently attract skilled because he responded to a request for important business for its largest customers with a simple "No". He rarely goes well, if a customer or employer much (or even a moderate amount) of money means "no" to pay. And while I'm a fan of the less is more strategy, with two cards, no other words to mitigating its effects, it can often be a limiting career choice.
Here are some ways to reject applications without compromising their work:
Spouse or - using mathematics to find the best candidates for the job
If you find the best candidate for the job or are looking for the right, settle down with a partner one can be stressful because you do not know who else is there, or how, with the people I've met is to compare.
Fortunately, a simple mathematical approach called "theory of optimal stopping" can help you to find the best person for the job.

Experts speak of overtime How Obama to the rule could change millions of workers and employers benefit
Since 1938 the US you have a policy in place to protect workers and overtime to ensure they. For the additional work they are paid
But acquired in the 70 years since the political force of the law, the parameters are rarely updated to take account of inflation. Several influential Americans expect changes.
"The problem we have now is that people these laws were designed to protect are no longer protected," said Ross Eisenbrey, vice president of the Economic Policy Institute, a research center without profit, in a recent video-on protection over time.
Currently, the workers of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) 1938 will fall, must be paid at least one and a half for every hour worked over 40 hours a week.
"No matter what your boss calls you - store manager, shift supervisor, deputy regional director - if his salary is lower than the threshold, it must be paid for overtime," Eisenbrey said. "This is a simple and important protection."
But the salary threshold for which the employee is entitled to overtime a simple $ 23.660 per year ($ 455 for the week). Anyone who did more than that can not receive overtime.
"That's less than half what it was worth 40 years ago," said Eisenbrey. In 1975, the FLSA comprised about 61% of all employees said - now protects only 8%.
Employers, he explained, easy to pay and overtime so that title currently senior employees and pay them just above the annual limit of $ 23.660.
"The threshold to workers from that protect victims of labor exploitation, but too small to really work," Eisenbrey said. "If we want the protection of overtime and it is believed to upgrade the Ministry of Labour the law."
"This problem has a simple solution: to raise the threshold for overtime wages and the rate of inflation," he said.
Initiated a new change in policy by the Ministry of Labour and supported leaders like President Barack Obama would bring in the 21st century by increasing salary threshold to $ 50,440 per year (or $ 970 per week) LSF. The rule change could also prevent future problems automatically updating the salary threshold based on wage growth over time.
This would affect nearly 5 million American workers in the first year of application.
"Today, many Americans work long hours for less pay than they deserve," Obama wrote in a Huffington Post opinion piece Wednesday.
Rewarding job with a fair wage, update #overtime the protection of workers is an issue of justice. #TimeForOT pic.twitter.com/YHduDvnRjB
- Senator Patty Murray (Patty Murray) 30th June 2015 Predicting work new employees will be revised or part-time workers to move, noted, citing a new study by Oxford Economics, that if the salary threshold would be raised even $ 808 per week contract, 76,000 part-time workers to fill labor needs of companies.
And according to an article on the Institute for Economic Policy Eisenbrey website under the new threshold, 3.1 million mothers and 3.2 million fathers are guaranteed overtime pay, which would affect some 12.1 million children.
Politics is not only good for employees who want a fair wage, Obama said in his development. The policy should entrepreneurs who already pay their employees what they deserve, he said, because they do, their employees often from competitors who do not undermine to help.
"This is how the United States to do business," Obama wrote. "In this country. Is the work of a hard wage for a fair day's wage of the heart of what it means middle class in America."
The task of a hard wage for a fair day's wage. Therefore I announce my plan to extend the additional guarantees. https://t.co/MrV56vTNa9
- President Obama (POTUS) 30th June 2015 "Unlike many things in Washington, which is very simple," he said.
According to the Ministry of Labour website, the White House Office of Management and Budget reviewed and approved the opinion of the proposed policy change, but the document is not published in the Federal Register.
Christine L. Owens, executive director of the National Employment Law Project, the rights of the defense organization of the workers, said at the press conference on Tuesday that the standard should be in the Federal Register for public comment some time in the week it comes published.

- Department of Labor (US dollar to) 30th June 2015 He said the proposed threshold of $ 970 per week useful for several reasons:
- "The salary threshold is a way to avoid labeling someone a" manager ", while clearly what your salary paid no management. So you can have a threshold value significantly higher than the average wage, which tends in our economy to the salary will be paid the typical production, nonsupervisory employee, someone who has clearly paid overtime. "
- If the Ford administration increases the salary threshold in 1975 was 1.57 times the average wage. Today 1.57 times the average wage would be $ 1,050 per week, which is close to the lines of $ 970 per week.
- In 1950 the legislator asserted that the salary threshold should be 25% higher than the starting salary of a college graduate. Today this would be a threshold of $ 1,000 per week.
- According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, people in positions of real responsibility now earn anywhere between $ 1,520 and $ 3,995 per week. "In other words, this measure is the new threshold well below the level monitoring functions, and associated presumably free, at work."
- The Labor Department Statisticsa is $ 970 per week, always at the bottom, such as non-supervisory workers with responsibilities to make the cut.
"This is not the first time in our history when these conditions have prevailed," he said. "In fact, it was the RSA acute realization that a function of government is to balance the forces, to help those who, risking exploitation, overwork absent overtime rules, and the inability of their claims born fair share of productivity growth were itself Generate ".

Of course, not everyone is convinced. Some conservatives and business groups argue against raising the thresholds because they believe it is too high, or that might reduce workers' compensation.
