In 1999, the movie Office Space satirizes the ubiquitous gray office cubicle. Fast forward more than a decade and a half later and technology companies are rather elegant open halls with rows of workstations and Aeron chairs are similar or permanent office.

But a combination of rapidly changing technologies, reaction against plans open floor plan, and other factors. The Office of the Future Wait at least a decade from now, experts estimate offices are some changes in both the way they look and to experience the way to work. The good news is that more companies and designers are aware of the experience of the workers.


1. The Office of incentive


How agile, flexible working becomes the norm, the work will become a luxury or reward, Ken Raisbeck, Director EMEA at CBRE in London says inmates Advisory Ltd, a leading commercial real estate services company. "The reason why people go to the office changed a bit. There is more cooperation," he said. Offices will do more to provide comfort for the workers so that they can concentrate on their work. He also believes that jobs offer more personalized service and spa options.

Randy held a headquarters in San Francisco architecture firm Gensler, he says, companies can begin to mimic the welcome reception areas to accommodate the different forms of living and working accommodation in a fixed space.


2. MOBILE SPACES


Cheryl Durst, Executive Vice President and General Manager of the International Interior Design Association in Chicago, believes the concept of "landing" or workspaces is more fluid and focused on the nature of the work, the person should in lieu of an assigned seat, for become standard for those whose work depends to work with others.

Raisbek speculated that the base data services can guide the employees through their day, they inform to travel in real time in the best way. Instead of fixed offices, workspaces are based on this kind of work the individual to do that day. A "concierge" Digital cameras can workers who are gathered with the appropriate technology for groups of workstations people who need to work together, configured to make that day or to put together.


3. customized jobs


Even those with static workstations will see a greater focus on the individual needs and productivity of a more "humane" approach, says Durst. Removable walls with sound-absorbing materials allow workers to the privacy that they want, and create "centers", cooperation, promote without cavernous feeling of a totally open office. Raisbek called "hygiene factors", such as lighting, temperature, ergonomics, etc. They are increasingly sophisticated and accommodate an employee to the database. Offices of the future there will be more individual homes more comfortable for employees and improve their experience, he said.

The owner said the office furniture is more personalized needs of workers. As we gain more information about the various technologies, the concept of having "everyone in the exact same office for miles and miles" means a lack of understanding of the individual work style. Instead, the office furniture could make modular approach, so that employees fit with a budget of choosing from a collection of pieces that sit adapt to the functionality or standing desk, allowing office space, and other items that can be your kind and body work and individual work styles. Even if this is not 2025, 3D printing could someday create for each employee develops individual chairs, ergonomic body.

4. Technology SMART

Of course, this mobility and cooperation would not be possible without the technology to be. Since mobile and portable devices continue to evolve, they are to make the way we work. Instead stuck in an office, employees bring their equipment with them and have easy access to several digital screens, to share information about the devices to help them that. Loni Stark, senior director of strategy and product marketing at Adobe Durst said that the communication and text messages and e-mails for writing to a SmartWatch as more interpersonal interaction are not.

Intelligent conference facilities to facilitate meetings and provides easy access for equipment up to the monitors and methods for seamless remote employees to connect to join the meeting via video or audio, according to the owner. The sensors can be indicators of attending meetings to monitor to ensure that the team members each have the opportunity to express their views. Mikko-Pekka Hanski, co-founder of Global Design Company Idean, I think we will see "much more immersive process" remote collaboration through virtual reality.

As a rule, there is a movement to improve the overall experience of the work area, said the owner. "There is no reason why your workspace should look like a workspace feel," he said.

From Ben Peterson

Each boss has favorites. And usually with good reason. Excellent staff make life a lot easier, and I found that kind of employees have a lot in common, which can emulate impress you're your boss and improve his career in 2016. The owners love employees consciously planned and executed, automate things you too smart to think strategically through their activities, and to ensure that every minute that they are in the labor market ready for productivity.

Create a master plan and execute.

The cliché rings true: If you do not plan to fail, you are planning. These are important elements of each plan:
  • Registration: Make your plan and save it somewhere. No need chips and graphics included. Just decide what you want to do, give you a time, and write the plan down want. Review the plan, to ensure that they share the objectives and strategy of the company (which will surely get the support that you need) met, and check what you have stored frequently to ensure that you stay in the race.
  • Format: his task consciously to move until it is complete and well made. For large projects to bring better his colleagues together to reflect and give feedback. Your experience will help you run more efficiently. Stop in a room so that you can reflect and refract all the details in a way that the prognosis is exactly what to do. And for large and small projects, add carefully to every detail - even if all you do is to clean your e-mail, ensuring the proper way, you will find everything. Execute your plan with exact precision, and pride in the finished product.
  • Responsibility: Responsibility is a blessing and not a curse! It gives focus and direction. High performance, people are looking for and have excellent adhesion. Accountability means the responsibility of doing things for the right reasons, and do it the right way to achieve the right results. It also means going beyond to make everything (even if you have no desire to do what you have done, or stick to hard deadlines). Your plan might involve other, and responsible for the means to keep their commitments, even. Remember, the plan offers, so whatever the result depends on what you're into.
The planning and implementation of the plans will allow you to achieve more. And your boss will take note. Few things are more impressive autonomous and motivated can create schedules and maintain. And a plan you can consider is to automate some of their tasks.

Automate anything.

Great employees are hired because they are intelligent and have unique abilities - when to do things time can do a computer can waste. Your time is too valuable to spend businesses followed, manually scan the coordination and organization of projects in the e-mail, or and receipts. Here are some easy ways to automate:
  • Electronic signatures: You may think you do not collect these signatures, it, much time or money, but the result of electronic signatures in divert is 80 percent, the fastest response time and save your company $ 20 per document. Instead of pursuing new employees or managers of companies, automate workflows and spend a lot of time (and money) saved to do more important things.
  • Project Management: Project Management in the email dirty. It's hard to remember who is responsible for what, to share documents and collaborate. Instead of a mass of confusion to automate project to project management software - you are in good company gives 87 percent of companies use powerful project management software.
  • Expenses Reports: Recipes should not scattered to the portfolios of the staff burst or through the offices of the Ministry of Finance. It is not effective and safe not occur. Employees will appreciate the ease of catches of mobile reception, and all your work processes - clarification of reporting - to improve.
Parts of automating your work shows that the chef has carefully examined projects that deserve your attention. And save time and money of the company is a great way to create more value, not to mention the strategic projects that will take you in a position, your newly cleaned time.

Be Strategic.

Do not think about your role as a job; Instead, think like a business with the customers. If you are a developer, you can your customers be the product team is looking forward to do on your code, what they demand. Each function has a client who expects a certain value. And the more value you provide to your customers, their role is more appreciated. This is where strategic thinking begins, and here are some ways to use it:
  • Determine who your customers: Consider the people or departments are directly from the work they do, are affected. If your job is to bring new talent into the company, then your clients hiring managers. Once you have determined that you serve, you think (or ask), what are the expectations of its customers and unmet needs are.
  • Understand what is your value and how supply: could your role storing boxes of Kleenex to lunch and configuration of equipment for new employees. But there is a higher value than what you can do: the satisfaction and employee engagement. There is a reason his company has Kleenex hand, because the staff is looking forward and concentrate better when they are given what they need throughout the day. Find out what the real value of their role and how they can offer more of the same.
  • Judging whether or not their activities on the map of value to you: Now is the time to do a test, what you do do. If the activities that take most of your time, not the value of their customer needs it, what you do is not strategic. (- See above, perhaps through automation) and replace them with activities aimed at the value that you provide, you must contribute a way to reduce these non-strategic activities. This strategic.
If you treat your role as a business, you will find opportunities for strategic customers that you are used to serve for the value. Your customers will be happier, and his boss also go to more than what they need. But to take on these strategic initiatives to add value, you need to make this a priority and block time for them.

Manage your time.

How many times have you confused in a jumble of emails? Or lost in a warren of media for half an hour, without realizing how long you're gone? Even if only several times a day it is expensive distractions derailed. One study found that it takes almost 25 minutes on average to return up to the task after distraction. Instead, each request or concentration task, manage your time to focus more. Here are some ideas to help:
  • Pomodoro Technique: You can avoid distractions, but do not bother to avoid breakage. In fact, 86 percent of employees agree that breaks makes them more productive. But you need to make your conscious breaks. Pomodoro technique suggests setting a timer for 25 minutes of hard work, concentrated in between with a few minutes for a break.
  • Time blocking: Spending every hour of the day on a task - even if their programming is check e-mail (so you can check easy for 15 minutes several times a day and it will be a constant distraction). Lock. Their time and stick to it Applications such as Google Calendar may be suitable for this purpose; but also allow easy sharing calendars with others (ie your boss), so that they know what works.
  • Kanban: This method can help you to prioritize tasks. Select the six main tasks, and begin other projects only if you look at each other (the basic idea, but no meeting more details). Kanban is also a great way to communicate your priorities to another, and also works best when all on the computer the process.
It is better to move some projects forward one foot ten projects delighted moved an inch. With emphasis and priority of your time, avoid distractions and find intense concentration, so you projects that can make a real important. And your boss will notice that you are about how you spend your time control.

So what can you do to impress your boss in 2016? Working in a targeted and better than ever. Plan and perform automate tedious tasks, be strategic and to manage your time.

And one last tip: If you really want to impress your boss, you stop your energy worrying about being his favorite. Impress your boss when employees, allowing them to spend a great job their energy into it. His boss noticed and he or she will be happy.

Answering questions

By Jacquelyn Smith and Natalie Walters

It is important to remember that every interview is a two way street. You should interview the employer as you interview, because both have to satisfy itself that the work would move a perfect fit.

So, if the roles were reversed, and the interviewer asks: "Do you have any questions for me have" to take this opportunity is the best way to determine whether you would like to work for this employer, and if you?. Targets are agreed with you.

"To make the process of questions, it's completely changed the dynamics of the interview, and the perception that the hiring manager you", Teri Hockett, CEO of What works ?, a career site for women. "To ask questions, also gives you the opportunity to discover the details of which could not have revealed otherwise."

Amy Hoover, President TalentZoo, says there is another reason, you should always prepare questions. "It is to be expected - and if you do not ask at least two questions, you seem disinterested, or worse, less intelligent and committed to a prospective employer wants." You have to prepare at least four questions, but if the two originals will be answered by the course of the interview.

But Hoover said, do not ask questions for the sake of it. To really enjoy, you must carefully what you want to ask think.

"The questions can really make or break an interview," she says. "If serious, or if you can ask a question that has been discussed, that more than they can help to hurt. Make it smart business issues important."

Fortunately, there is much wiser to choose.

Here are 29 questions you should always ask for a job interview - if not answered - will help you to leave a better idea of the role and the company, and the meeting with a positive and lasting impression:


Who do you think the ideal candidate for this position would be, and how can I compare?


Hoover recommends that this question because it is a quick way to see if your skills are in line with what the company is currently investigating. If they do not, then you know, walk instead of wasting time chasing the wrong position itself, he said.


Who would it relevant? There are three people on the same team or different teams? What is the hierarchy?


It is important to ask about the hierarchy of a company, if you have multiple heads, Vicky Oliver wrote in his book "301 intelligent answers to difficult interview questions."
If you work for more than one person, must know the "internal structure of the country", she said, or whether they will be more than one person, so you want to learn probably know before accepting the position.


How has this position?


Basically, this question is only you can know if the job is a dead end or a trampoline.


How would you describe the corporate culture?

Hoover says this is important because it allows you to "a sense of camaraderie" with the interviewer because "researchers - like everything - like to talk generally about themselves and about all the things that you know well." This problem is Pro In addition gives you the opportunity to gain an insider's perspective of the best parts of working for this company, he said.

How executives use their employees is important so that you can decide whether or not the type of leader, you can use his strength to the company to succeed.


Can you say what steps need to be completed before your business to generate a proposal?


"Every opportunity to learn the time of rental information is crucial for you," advises Hoover.
Ask for a "deal" and not as a "decision" is a better idea of the chronology to give than "decision" It is a broad term, while a "supply" the time they are ready, the contract must be fulfilled.


What is the corporate brand justice to its fundamental values? What is the one thing that works to improve?


Harrison says this is a respectful manner to questions about the gaps in society issues - which certainly aware before it needs to be a society. As a bonus, he said, it shows that you want to the inner workings of the company are proactive better understand before marriage.

Hoover said that if they want to meet with potential colleagues or do not give you an idea of how much the team values of the company in order to develop synergies. In addition, if the interviewer tells you have to do four interviews, then you have to have a better idea of the timeline of the recruitment as well as won, he said.


How do you help your team to develop professionally?


Harrison said the issue shows that you are willing to work hard to ensure that you are growing your business. This is particularly important for workers, he said, because they usually have a high turnover, so they are always looking for people who are thinking long-term.


When your employees come to you with the conflict, how you react to it?


How a society treats the conflict gives a clearer picture of the culture of the company, says Harrison. But most importantly, ask for the conflict resolution shows that you know, deal with disagreements in a professional manner is essential for growth and business success.

Is this a new position? If not, why the person in front of me this role?


This could embarrassed to ask, but Harrison says it's not unusual to ask, and it shows that you are intelligent and analytical want to know why someone may have been in front of unhappy in that role.

If you have discovered the role that they left because they were promoted, it is also useful information.


Where the Company contribute three years and as the person in this role at this vision?


This question is your party that you think big picture to show, you want to stay long in the business and want to make a lasting impression in any business you have to make in, Harrison said.

The 4 biggest mistakes that you make on LinkedIn

Lisbon 14 January 2014 ...

From Anna Hensel

LinkedIn, the social networking site's core business, but that does not mean that you know how to use it.

For starters, many people use LinkedIn to maintain contact only with people on their professional networks. This means that the platform is not easy to borrow in order to create the kind of content virus, widespread, that the marks be designed on Twitter or Facebook. So no more use to gin measures Alexandra Samuel said, a technology researcher and author of the smartest social media work.

She offered her best advice for small businesses on how to use LinkedIn in a recent column in the Wall Street Journal. The biggest mistake she sees small businesses are on the social networking site? Use it to try to push their age if they are using it to try to find new employees or customers.

"By all means, cross-posting the occasional article or LinkedIn update, but focus on them as a source of connections and experience - and not as a way to build public awareness and brand," Samuel wrote.
Here are three more mistakes Samuel says it is likely that the possibility:


1. Wait leads to come to you.


Samuel said he would think that by updating its website, the company every day, you will have more clients or employment surveys. But small businesses do not have the same visibility as the Fortune 500. Again, the goal to make new connections LinkedIn. Pray your sales team regularly use LinkedIn to find potential new customers. Also, make sure that all employees are connected together in LinkedIn, making them easier to share contacts.


2. Employees accepting too many requests from colleagues. In the same field


This kind of courtesy could leave its open business competitive threats, suggests Samuel. You can see that their customers or new employees that you are eyeing. While this may not seem like a big deal if you are in a small market, want their links to keep as confidential as possible, he adds.


3. You spend too much time to sell, rather than the company.


Job seekers use LinkedIn to promote personal achievement and be more attractive to recruiters. But if you are the founder of an obscure startup wants high-level talents, know the job seeker, which is to be so, want to win big on your business , Write so that it focuses your LinkedIn profile on the achievements of your business, not just your own. For example, instead of listing the title "CFO of Acme Accounting," Samuel suggested a more meaningful as you click "Acme chief financial accounting, financial advisor Gap and Target."

8 Scraps delete your working vocabulary

By

Each back some phrases we use at work. But some of them can be highly irritating to the colleagues and alerting for managers.

Here are eight phrases that you use to work without much thought - but it's worth is to remove them from your desktop vocabulary.

1. "Are you busy?" This is likely to shrink both colleagues. Few people say, "No, I look at some celebrity gossip" and someone who is busy, may still be available for a break, depending on your needs could very well prepared .. Take your time for something urgently or be important, but I did not want to interrupt to the next potluck Instead of saying, used to discuss. "Do you have one minute to speak about X"?

2. "Can you please come to my office?" Since the term 1, which is frustrating because the recipients have no idea what you want. Is it important enough to include on other urgent tasks? Or they may differ in the day when they are busy? Do they need to bring something to take notes? Will they be put in place on a project if they would prefer the option of having notes before the meeting an overview? If you, the boss if they are preparing for a serious conversation? Or is it not so? Share speculations of people and to explain what it means.

3. "I'll try." You might think this is a reasonable response to a request or assignment if you are not sure you can do what is necessary, or take is a time limit. But let your manager is not sure whether you are bound. Sure you do not want to get something to the commit that you also revised, in order to complete, but to explain in this case, what you think. Instead of "I'll try," it is better to do something like:. "I think X to get in the way of that time, but when it starts to look like it is the case, I will return well ahead of time to understand, say how to prioritize".

4. "So fatten" your colleagues do not want to decide on, to hear what they happen to eat. You are not the police of the diet and should any temptation to comment on the calories in food employees to avoid the amount of snacks they had that day or unsafe to eat.

5. "It's not my fault." Not that you should not take the blame, if blame. But a more constructive formulation that do not focus on them not - or not - to reflect better the blame on you. For example, say: ".. I think what happened was X. And to avoid this, we need the marketing department and so earlier in the future I'm going to come back to Sarah to do in our customer list", however, the other end of the equation of guilt ...

6. "Sorry." In fact, there are times when you should apologize to work, as if someone injured or accidentally created extra work for a colleague. But some people tend to excuse remorse that offers everything from the need to ask a question to a standard project that no one was to blame on. Excess apology can search you weak and submissive. You can accidentally end responsibility for things that are not your fault.

7. "I can not keep my email." That's to his colleagues, "You can not count on me to read messages sent very important to save me." There is doubt as to its ability to increase to stay on top of their workload and make you look unreliable. When the manager heard you say, you're probably wondering whether going out tasks slip through the cracks or returning customers.

8. "A little reminder." If you have lengthened the track to a colleague with already "just a little reminder," there is a good chance that the recipient does gnashing of teeth. The phrase often acts as you say, "I'm afraid I might be insulted by a normal business communication, so I think I love you approached cautiously." Or should not tiptoeing around to support their peers. Is it normal to be direct and to say: "I want this because of X. remember"

Do not lose your patience while Job Search

You can not deny that we live in a world of instant gratification. A dinner is planning to send your loved one? You probably have an answer within minutes. Contact a friend to make plans for dinner to meet next week to make? You will hear back in a day or two. I send email to your boss about an upcoming deadline? You will likely get an answer in a few hours.

Such as sending an employer with a current corresponding to the interview? Anticipate hear again in a few days, if not more.

This may be why the search for work feels like it's not fast enough, along or in your calendar. According to the clock on instant gratification that we use for almost everything in our daily lives, it should have been hired for the new job a month ago.

We live in a moment of updating the world, during the job search can feel like it stuck in the era of the post. Search With a slight adjustment to your Outlook calendar and you can always bring in your job with patience and positivity. Here's how to manage your expectations about the process.

1. Focus on mini-phases. While the work itself ends up being the most important result of your job search, it is helpful to break even to stay in the race. Even large networks talks deserve a celebration, whether a special cup of java, a manicure or shoe polish. This represents a breakthrough.
And quality coals more than you have in the fire - interesting work applied conversations major networks, positive feedback from a telephone conversation - the more you will be able to dance, along the road instead of lamenting the calendar in a particular contract.

2. Document your search activity. Keep company you are applying, dates and results of telephone interviews and desk, next steps and, above all, when and with whom you follow.

Good things come to those who wait. So if you ask on the phone why you have your dream employer for not called Search Submit your resume, focus on the variety of activities that goes on compliance with the specific activities of the route in one place and when you should follow , I do not get the idea that it takes a long time to linger.

Newsflash: Almost always going to feel like it's too long. Focus on in the order in which things are progressing action-oriented behaviors.

Please note that hiring managers are out of time another office, on large projects or business trip, so that decisions are delayed. But when he does land a new wonderful job and is in new challenges, which took four weeks of the offer also dipped to mind.

3. Create a reward system. In other words, if you lose £ 100 instead of thinking how much the ultimate goal seems more input lines, which create its present state the next.

Not unlike lose weight, change your attitude to delayed gratification to accept - a light at the end of the tunnel waiting for their arrival. How to create celebrations, create markings on the road, as three recent successful two excellent interviews or contacts of a networking event industry.

4. considered realistic deadlines. They are not the only person interested in the land that new job and start a new chapter in his career. When I worked at the recruiting firm, I had expectations to the hiring managers who also wanted to put in an instant into engagement are set.

"Not so fast," I said. First, the work has been approved and published, and CVs were submitted. Then I saw each of them, led phone screens, commented the usual business interviews gathered feedback, I realized the next round of interviews and - you guessed it - more votes. Perhaps at that time, I confirmed approvals recruitment and remuneration, I sent the letter of offer could announce the candidates to two weeks and found a background check. Well, the sooner we could do was rent a new 8 weeks - in a perfect world.

This is why a preconceived mindset, if you think you are going to get a job are not helpful. Too many things beyond your control and expected to immediately divert a response and next steps immediately from their efforts.

5. And now abandon concerns you want to speed :. Do you really want to make the process work for an employer for less than stellar in three months instead of this incredible employer within five months? Two months is not significant, so you throw the expectations of a rapid process once, you'll be glad when the process is faster than expected.

In addition, you are all excited in, if there is more on the quality of the paper that you are pursuing positive interview experience and the people you do not the fact that you met recalled within seven working days instead of two.

6. Be patient. If you've ever bought a house, chances are you will not find the good night. After the establishment of its requirements, visit the open house and pounding the pavement, dealing with finance, mortgage, down payment and contract - not to mention the closure and the physical act of moving in - process it took time and effort as well. It was time and effort well spent, if you are pleased with the result.

At the end of the day, things worth living, as well as his next job, do not have to occur overnight. When it comes to finding a job and find a better opportunity to the instant gratification world comes to be mentioned in which we live, and if the employers' right back to you quickly, remember, it's a marathon, not a sprint. There are several steps along the way, every effort will be worth it.

Four misunderstandings to find a job after college

Here for the rest of our lives!

By
Dialogues with third school age in the middle of trying to understand "what comes next" often show a gap between student life and. Start a rewarding career, it is easy to sympathize with the cry: "I get an A seminar in my mind, but I have no idea how to get a job."

Ideally, colleges and universities funded services departments of the race with a full complement of experienced professionals. But in most cases, the budgets are tight and staff do not have time to do everything, waits and waits.

In order to maximize the practice of higher education offer, students should not wait until the last year to build a relationship with an advisor. Even if they are newcomers or second year, the students will be able to important to recognize the characteristics and preferences of the skills and other diagnostic tests to consider when to pursue that career choice. But sometimes, services faculty and career out of date with the latest advances in the field of labor and staffing best practices.

A recent conversation with a primary school in a highly competitive university unveiled these misunderstandings.

1. "My professors told me that not a whole sentences and bullet bullets you can not be a row." In a business PowerPoint presentation, this could be the case. However, on a resume, it was common for a ball to be a fairly complete picture of a sentence fragment.

For example, you may want to describe two or three bullet points in a certain position in a few lines each, as you fill have to achieve a particular responsibility and the results or performance.

2. "I have not worked hard enough for the realization." It takes time to build a legacy of performance in a given role. But everything you need exercises to get back into a broader perspective of what you've done.

Sometimes this means to understand what you have done, so his boss to give his best. Perhaps his contribution has assumed responsibility for something else free, to do a job at a higher level.

If you think so, your ball could start doing one of these verbs CV "manipulated", "license", "boat", "organized" or "helpful."

3. "I my profile on LinkedIn posted a year ago, so that whatever put into it." Not really. This is a crucial moment in his life to build a professional network that will last for decades. It's time to graduate snapchat Facebook and use social networks to with which to find people network.

Make sure your LinkedIn profile is complete, with a full description of what you have done, the skills they acquired in volunteer activities, the languages that are dedicated to the control and more.

Use LinkedIn to people you perform for informational interviews to about what jobs are like from the inside, rather than find learning on best estimates and fantasies.

To learn the examination of numerous profiles, which orders to what other jobs, and people who first work you are considering have a tendency lead. There are a variety of ways to use LinkedIn and should be a part of your daily routine.

4. "I love working in the X industry, but I've never done, so I can not." It's true that many companies use to see college courses as a way to treat students in action.

Then they will offer jobs after obtaining the most promising of these students. But obviously that is far from always the case.

Remember: Often Jobs entry are exactly what they purport to be - a way for people to get into any business or industry soil. The use of familiar, LinkedIn and other networking their way into companies where they. An interest and personal contacts Only on workstations not Rely.

This is the prelude to the main recruitment for graduates next spring. Aim high, learn what you need to impress on employers and, need to make their mark. What could you do that you can do for pure energy, ambition and willingness to help clear failure his first employer.

Good Hunt!

It is not the same environment for job-seekers, as it was a few years ago. Increasingly, people are looking for work should consciously do a growing list of things and be all this Tweet during their investigation into the use of social media tools and the latest high-tech to reach recruiters and managers more efficient setting.

With much more to understand in detail now, if you are in the job search mode, it's important to know what advice give precedence. Here is a list of new strategies job seekers should not ignore if you hope to highlight a new career opportunity in the year 2016th

1. Understand the new competition. Candidates now have an additional layer of competition in the form of "boomerang employees." These people worked for a company on the left, then back to her. Nearly 50 percent of companies in a previous study had policies against rehiring former employees, according to a survey by the Institute for Kronos Workforce and WorkplaceTrends.com. More than three-quarters of respondents say, but have changed their policies in order to welcome more accepting of glad those who have left the fold of the company.

What does this mean if you are looking for work this year is that you are against other talented group of confidential information of the company in the competition, along with the candidates to employees and internal candidates. In addition, business generation Z is a graduate of the University and the labor market for the first time, which could mean four or five generations, is side by side and work in the competition for the same jobs.

2. If you want the flexibility to ask. Workplace flexibility is the name of the game in 2016, with the technology industry a greater choice to structure leader in the development to the employees in kind offer, their working and where they do their job. For more than a quarter of the workforce and teleworking variable frequency levels, according to a report GlobalWorkPlaceAnalytics.com. In response, major enterprises around the world restructuring office space to the fact that employees are much more mobile than they were in the past, with some studies showing that people not at your desk more 50 percent of the time. The technology industry continues to lead the charge in the ante when it comes to creating jobs more balanced, flexible and familiar. So if you are one of the up to 90 percent of employees who are interested in some sort of flexible working arrangement are, even if only some of the time, this is to negotiate a great year for him.

3. Continue to carefully develop its presence in social networks. Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn shows no signs of fading as essential components of a job search in 2016. Even if you have become comfortable with the use of media of social communication daily in their life, to keep up with events and share messages with your personal and professional relationships, it is important to remember that recruiters and hiring managers often see social networking profiles of the candidates to inform their decisions. If your tweets are negative, silly or inappropriate, you can even chance of landing an interview perish, let alone competing for the job. If you can not take control of your digital identity to create a polished and professional image, you may end up regretting this year and beyond.

Add 4. Check your wrist jobs. So far, few took considerable damage portable technology as a work from devices such as Apple Watch Fitbit and were mainly used for the control of health and productivity. However, with the expected market for portable devices to increase to 35 percent by 2019, from Gen Y and Gen Z is driven, you might want to jump on the train and belts. In this way you will have the last device to retrieve the information, the efficiency of research and helping to take advantage of 24/7 access to information to help you in your job search.

New technologies can have all the work to find a job? No, no one has a software that perfectly find correspond to the perfect job with the perfect candidate if you carry in your pocket or are worn on the wrist. But if you find these new tools effectively to technology that will help you the right job.

Warren Buffett once said: "The difference between successful people and people of great success is that highly successful people say" no ", almost everything."

The idea behind this philosophy is that when your time for other priorities "and used to say" yes "to everything, you will notice your productivity suffer, increase resentment, and to keep stress.

While some people argue that "yes" often says more open to take advantage of more opportunities, wrote LinkedIn Lena Dunham joined the camp, say "no" and explain how it has worked wonders for her personal life and his career worked.

Dunham said he has not always said 'no' enough.

"A cocktail of doubt with the need for constant approval mixed convinced me that" yes "was the key to my like-ability," he wrote. "No" Yes ", what I have to offer? And so sprayed I generously built and as my duty and my resentment, so that my feelings of inadequacy. "

In his work as creator, writer and star of "Girls" HBO, Dunham said he will "mission" to respond at work on all e-mails after each task, given everything, and usually subsides pressure, really look "at Ball."

"But we can have a tightrope in front for so long, that gravity does its job will not be erased," Dunham wrote.
She explains that their personal and working relationships began to suffer. "Part of my job is to be creative, dive deep into the well of experience, so that enough time for sleep, employed by an iPhone and do a list of things had been replaced, but never ceased to grow."

Reality hit one night in the third season of "Girls" when Dunham was on deadline to finish a script. He had given his exhaustion and the "Girls" executive producer Jenni Konner and said that she had sent the script the next day, as Konner said. "I knew that tonight was not a realistic goal"

After the defensive and a list of the reasons why I had to leave everything, interrupted Konner, say. "I just wanted you to hear, so that you can enjoy your evening, do not put that pressure on yourself I just want you are realistic about what you do, and save yourself the stress can."

Now Dunham said he realized "that life do not have to an endless trot accommodate all be" Yes ".

By saying "no" more Dunham learned that the pressure of being always on the ball is often homemade, and to understand the people in general, if there are limits.

"People respond well to honesty, to reality. They understand. And so with this" No "," Yes "jumped everywhere back. Funny how that works," he wrote.

Over the years we have seen at work through a series of dramatic changes: The dress code has diverted a suit and tie. There are all the work stations exclusively on the strategic use of social media is dedicated. People are "job hopping" every year or two, instead of committing their careers to a single company.

And that's just in the last five or 10 years; imagine how different it will be decades from now.

6 Do's and Don'ts of delegating tasks to an assistant


If you delegate a task, the person who wears it, want to be responsive and proactive to. If they can fill very well, so it almost feels like you "read minds" even better. But the time to reach this level is required, and some work. Also the report or directly the most experienced assistants need some instructions on how you want things.

In Uassist.ME we work with customers who are very busy and need assistants to help with the planning, Internet search and other tasks. We have found that a successful relationship between someone who has the delegation of tasks and someone will pick you up on trust and communication.

Here are some of our favorites and don'ts to help you make the most of the delegation of tasks, virtually or in person.


Take the time to train.


This may seem paradoxical to have to take the time to train someone on a task or to spend - after all, why to delegate, because you want to download this paper. But if you hire a virtual assistant or work with someone in the office, you need to invest a little time in the relationship in advance if the assistant is up to you, work and know its rules. This expense is amortized in the shortest possible time.


No cultivate patience.


The person who is likely to delegate wants to impress you, but be aware that there is a learning curve. Remain patient as you explain things, especially if his assistant is a virtual world. It is important to remember that you are not working with a machine or a robot - is inevitable bumps in the road. After the wizard gets up to speed, you can trust them and larger the distribution more complex tasks.


No set reasonable expectations.


Clear rules are important in the delegation, especially early in the relationship. The bar high for his assistant knows what purpose and maintains it. Deadlines assistants also help you plan your day more efficiently. Remember, though, that can not be all the time, "as soon as possible." Who sets unrealistic standards and only serve to highlight his assistant.


Do not make assumptions.


You can delegate no good without the communication and continuous feedback. Check regularly with assistants to tell them how they are doing. One of the most important rules for our participants always respond to e-mails, even with a simple "will." In return, we expect our customers to do the same. I suggest you take a few minutes out of your day to check the work of the assistants, especially if they are new to a project or team and is only for you and your business. Be sure to provide feedback if they have completed a task. A brief "good work" is enough.


For you do not move the updates.


Stay informed the participants as much as possible to changes in the schedule, scope, tasks, and other problems that may arise. If you keep your VA in the dark as he or she tries to manage their calendar, it is likely to plan in the meetings at the wrong time. Let your assistant knows what for you to understand their priorities most important. And do not forget to provide cutting or periods, as it will help you to organize the delivery of tasks.


Your assistant is not neglected.


Some people do not, calls or e-mails respond by his assistant that really limits their usefulness. Once a task has been delegated, still if their assistants needed your responsibility, questions and further information.

We encourage our customers, by whatever means is best to communicate with their assistants for them. For example, a customer does not use e-mail very effective, and complained of problems communicating with his assistant. He suggested we try WhatsApp, to communicate with her and with this medium to communicate frequently during the day, ultimately strengthening the relationship.

Knowing how to work with the public, either virtually or in person, can help to more effectively delegate. Consequently, the entire team will be more productive and efficient.

Theodore Roosevelt used this trick productivity to do more in a few hours, when most people in a single day

Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) 26th President of the United States 1901-1909

From

Theodore Roosevelt, considered by experts as one of the greatest American presidents politics, was also one of the most prolific.

Prior to the youngest president of the country 42 years after the assassination of President William McKinley in 1901, Roosevelt had served as chief of police of the city of New York, Assistant Secretary of the Navy and had a band led Roughriders in the Spanish-American War. Also, he managed to write 40 books and published hundreds of articles and is an avid sportsman.

As Georgetown professor and author Cal Newport explains in his new book "The profound work" Roosevelt succeeded both to put in his life, because he realized early on the importance of the "depth" or a job that the full measure requires your attention and intelligence concentrated in a period of distractions.

Use the biography of President Edmund Morris, Newport offers a look at the work ethic highlighting Roosevelt Roosevelt programming usually develops as a freshman at Harvard University in the academic year 1876-1877.

Roosevelt had a variety of extracurricular interests, including "boxing, wrestling, bodybuilding, dance, poetry, and the pursuit of an obsession of his life with naturalism," wrote Newport. He published his first book, which was on the birds, the summer after his first year.

In his diary and letters of the time declared Roosevelt that he would "no more than a quarter of the typical day of the study," Newport, usually only represent wrote a couple of hours. Despite spending much less time in the class of work than their peers, he could reach Awards in five of the seven classes of the first year.

30-16: 30 the school day noting Training every day, and lunch The future president would begin tracing your schedule every day 08th The weather remained fragmented devoted to the study, which means that Roosevelt had all night every day to pursue his many interests.

Newport, these passages of the study says dedicated "usually do not add up to a grand total of hours, but would most of them only work on school work during those periods, and with an intensity of blistering". This meant that there was not time to chat or coffee and has always been aware of the impending deadline for yourself. Each of these meetings kept his full power.

Newport says one way to deeply rewarding work is to integrate them into your life "injected table aboard the intensity of Roosevelt in his job." This includes the selection of a priority, estimate how long it would normally take, then create a runtime significantly below the typical allocated time.

Try a timer on your phone and save it in your field of vision.
To make your appointment, avoid daydreaming last time to get up for a snack, check your e-mail or any other distraction.

It is mentally exhausting, and therefore should not be tried more than once a week at first, says Newport. As you raise more confidence in their ability to get around than Roosevelt, the frequency of these sections.

"After a few months of the implementation of this strategy, their understanding of what the approach is likely to be transformed in order to achieve the highest level of intensity that everything you have experienced," wrote Newport.

And like Roosevelt, so that you open more than you ever thought possible.

How Punit Renjen, Global CEO of Deloitte, Bloomberg, looking for young workers in leadership skills said, albeit at the cost of changing jobs is a new phenomenon.

Maybe it has something to do with the recent trend of doing flattening organizations in marking the Washington Post. In an effort to reduce costs, organizations have layers of bureaucracy, which means removed there is not much riding Plus Corporate.

"The main reason is the separation of people who feel trapped in a job, and there is nothing for them there," said an expert job. "It's easier to leave your business and find a new job, find a new job within the company."

Restore a semblance of career ladder, a large amount of structural improvements needed. Meanwhile, executives can take small steps to develop staff leadership positions.

The Wall Street Journal recommends the creation of mentoring programs in which coordinated the workers of a company as an employee. You can also rotate employees through various jobs, so that the acquisition of new knowledge and experience.

As for the staff, US News & World Report suggests that proactively instead of waiting opened for a leadership position.

Backache business

By Rachel Grumman Bender

Can Hoping our last working days in the office professional challenges us, but in fact live for 9-to-5 (or 6 or 7) of office life to be the most demanding customers over the health and well-being.

In fact, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the problems with muscle injuries related musculoskeletal work for carpal tunnel syndrome 32% of all employees from injury and illness cases were in 2014. Of course, many of them are violations of people who suffered from the production lines or other physically demanding work. But sitting over a computer flexed, typing furiously and looking at screens all day can also wreak havoc on the body.

In general, the blame back on the time you sit at your desk. "The question we are really against that we certainly do not-sitting for a long time," said Michael Fredericson, physiatrist sports medicine at the Stanford health care. But if your office work, ask to sit at a desk for hours, "we tend to bend, forward, surpassing the neck and eyestrain. It is the tension over the whole body. "

The good news is that with a few simple stretches that can be done so that to reduce ergonomic adjustments to their working environment significantly the daily discomfort most riders to occupy offices. And the benefits go beyond the physical. A 2014 study found that creating more ergonomic work stations in the office not only reduces the musculoskeletal and vision problems, but also stimulates the satisfaction and happiness of employment of staff.

Of course, if you have pain, you should consult your doctor to get an idea of the problems underlying concerns or processing. But with some of the movements and expert advice, you could use the most notorious of the risks to keep on your way to remote office in order.


Arbeitsamt Danger # 1: back pain


Whether a small pinch occasionally or permanently pain, back pain, you can always optimally prevent. Sitting chained to his desk for hours at a time can back pain, the most common problem of work-related back.

So what's going on? The return of stagnation in his office chair and leans forward means that the spine out of alignment. This puts a strain on the ligaments and muscles of the back.

How fast to relieve tension: To overcome the muscle tension, if it arises, tilt the pelvis back and forth, while sitting in your office chair, tilting her hips and rounding your back and tilt your hips back. "This will help the back muscles relaxed," says Stephen Aguilar, occupational therapists and certified ergonomic assessment specialist rehabilitation at UCLA.

The long-term solution: Get some support. The length of the back should get to the back of his chair to help him stand up. If a lumbar cushion pad to the forward or backward to avoid an area, the collapse in a bad position. So, make sure your feet flat parallel to the ground, the thighs to the floor. "You want to avoid your feet hanging off the chair," Aguilar said. "Otherwise, the weight of the leg are not compatible, more pressure on the back." Using a chair Nix walk can help symptoms.

A drop of sweat can also help. Abdominal exercises such as crunches, two to three times a week can strengthen your core. This takes the pressure off the back and is easier to maintain good posture upright.


Arbeitsamt Danger # 2: wrist strain


He spends his days and nights pounding on the keyboard to answer e-mails or write reports lesions that can cause become a serious health problem.

A combination of overfishing and how do you make your wrists on the keyboard are to blame.

"Whenever a keyboard or mouse is used, the tendons of the wrist back and forth," says Aguilar. "These tendons are parallel to each other, so that the slide back and forth, creating friction that [called] to strain injuries. This causes fatigue and repetitive motion can be inflamed tendons."

A less obvious factor that plays a role in wrist pain: poor posture, especially bent forward shoulders. This is because the position of reduced blood flow down waters, including the hands, resulting in pain or, in some cases, tingling or numbness.

How quickly relieve stress: Make a section of the prayer as a path of Buddha known: Point fingers and palms with hands on his chest, fingers pointing upwards. Keep your palms together and move your elbows, lower your hands until you feel a good stretch in your wrist. Hold for five seconds.

The long-term solution: If the keyboard or mouse is used, keep the wrists of course, so that they float in the air horizontally, it does not rise above rest your hands or on your desktop. You'll also get a wrist rest for keyboard and mouse, suggesting Aguilar, and use it for occasional breaks during the day to take. "The key word is calm," he said.

Arbeitsamt Danger # 3: neck and shoulder pains


You realize how much your neck and shoulders moved until they are injured and then you can feel in every round and twist individual work. This pain may be to replace the keyboard or the computer screen on the desktop, with protruding neck and shoulders forward, thrown out of alignment with the spine and the effort of the muscles and soft tissue.

How fast to relieve tension: It may be tempting to skip a couple of ibuprofen to relieve discomfort, but a 2012 study found that neck and shoulders frequent daily routes were in relieving pain than over-the-counter effectively and prescription To see or anti-inflammatory drugs, also a chiropractor.

In order to solve a narrow neck, recommend Fredericson, tried a chin tuck exercise, also known as a shrink neck. Standing or sitting, keep your back straight and push your head forward, chin moved as far as possible. Slowly reverse threw his head back, as far as possible, as if afraid someone move. The head should remain level throughout the track will feel on the base of the neck. Repeat four times.

To relieve the tension in your neck and shoulders, while forward, tilt your right ear toward the right shoulder, so that the left arm, fingers pointing downwards to increase the distance. Hold for 20 to 60 seconds and repeat on the left side four times.

The long-term solution: Station computer screen in front of you on the side not inclined whereby the neck in an awkward position. If you are often on the phone, use a headset instead of the phone weighs between your ear and shoulder, which can cause muscle fatigue, said Jeffrey A. Goldstein, medical director of the NYU Langone Orthopaedics Seaport. Sit in a chair with adjustable arms, elbows to can form an angle of 90 degrees. Aguilar stated that the arm and arm angle decreases the burden on the shoulders.

"A good attitude is also a long-term solution," he said. Use an application that you are working to improve your posture, such as helping PostureZone, which is free. If you are really serious about their efforts, Lumo Elevator vibrates ($ 79.99) uses a lightweight, portable sensor which, when it is bent and an application that tracks your postural habits.


Arbeitsamt Danger # 4: Eye strain


Looking at his computer for hours at a time, can cause eyestrain, since it can be a computer monitor is too far (to strain your eyes to read the fine print) or work harder to close (your eyes to focus ). People also, less frequently flashes tend while your computer what to eyes and fatigue to dry.

How fast to relieve tension: every 20-30 minutes to look at something in the distance, like a window on the entire length of the office, for 20 seconds to give your eyes a break. Better yet, get up and speak to a colleague in another area of the office or running for the supply cabinet to a new pen to get things to your eyes a break from the computer.

The long-term solution: The safety and health administration recommends to ensure that your screen is that it is not too close or too far away from 20 to 40 inches away from you, where you sit. The upper part of the screen is the same height roughly. You can also set a filter on your screen to reduce glare, which contributes to eyestrain.

If you wear glasses, at work, a rough measure of the space between the eyes and the screen. Then ask your eye doctor to ensure that you have the right recipe for this distance. "Many people wear glasses or corrective lenses, however, are designed for reading or distance," Aguilar said. "But the team is in between the two lines. An order that the distance from the computer and let the couple on their desktop."


Arbeitsamt Danger # 5: Tight hips


Over time it is stuck sitting in a flexed position on a base painless desk at work on her couch at home, shortened hip flexors, a group of muscles in the front of the hip caused daily. Tight hip flexors contribute also, back pain, another common complaint.

How quickly relieve stress: Try to make, an excerpt from the resolution of tight hip flexors. Kneel on the left knee, and if you bent to somebody forward with your right knee, hit at a 90-degree angle and place your right foot are. Change the pelvis forward, under the buttocks until you feel the knee is bent and tuck a deep stretch in the left hip. Hold for 30 seconds. Switch legs.

The long-term solution: Get away from your desk at regular intervals to give your muscles rest and promote blood circulation. "In a perfect world, get up from your desk every 20-30 minutes," says Aguilar. "Your body needs to move."

Try a free application, such as Stand Up! O break reminder, so you have a recurring reminder in intervals during the day rising timer.

Talk to your doctor and check some of these movements, you should be able to help you feel at work well, or at least more enjoyable, your body.
