Finding shoes to inspire confidence and comfort
(ARA) – It’s no secret that shoes can either make or break an outfit. But can uncomfortable shoes also affect your confidence?
According to a recent study, 94 percent of women say they feel good when their feet feel good. Stacy London, style expert and host of TLC’s “What Not To Wear,” has partnered up with the makers of Dr. Scholl’s For Her. She agrees that when it comes to shoes – women can look good and feel good at the same time. “As a stylist, I know that finding a balance between fashion and comfort can sometimes be tricky. And chances are that most women have experienced ‘Fabulitis’ – the discomfort caused by the decision to wear uncomfortable, yet fabulous shoes,” says London. “That’s why I use Dr. Scholl’s For Her insoles
– because I can wear the shoes I want and feel comfortable doing it.” Helping women get back on their feet One of the most inconvenient times for women to face “Fabulitis” is during a job interview, especially since the right shoes are an essential component to feeling comfortable and confident. That’s why the makers of Dr. Scholl's For Her are launching an interactive campaign to support Dress for Success Worldwide, a nonprofit organization that offers professional attire, a network of support and career development tools to women entering the workforce. The program will help empower women by contributing confidence-inspiring footwear and insoles to keep them comfortable while interviewing for jobs. Stacy London’s interview wardrobe tips

London shares her tips for achieving fashion, comfort and confidence when tackling a job interview: Comfort is key: Such a big part of achieving success is feeling comfortable in your own skin—and shoes for that matter. Go for heels and add a Dr. Scholl’s for Her insole for comfort. Suit up: Suits (pant or skirt) are always appropriate. Pair suits with more feminine, colorful or textured tops to add flair. Must-haves: Every woman should have a comfortable closed-toe heel for suiting and separates, a pencil or simple A-line skirt and a suit. Walk the talk: Choose clothes and shoes that look and feel good for your body type, stand up tall and show your style with confidence.

Consumers can visit www.facebook.com/drschollsforher to vote on the most confidence-inspiring shoe style from now until Aug. 26. Votes will help determine the style of shoes donated to Dress for Success Worldwide ($25,000 in value), and every pair of donated shoes will be matched with an insole.

YOUR OWN
If your job is starting to feel routine and your performance uninspired, itʼs time to take matters into your own hands: Motivate yourself. How? One way is to create a support group of your peers from outside your organization—even from outside your industry. Contact four to eight people you trust and know to be energetic, positive individuals. Make a commitment that whatʼs said in your meetings stays in those meetings. Then get together at least quarterly to share your aspirations, ideas, challenges, and (sometimes) pet peeves. You may be surprised at what you can learn from people outside your field and how many new ideas or solutions you gain from the networking experience.

ICL Program Engages Young Emerging Leaders in Nonprofit Governance PORTLAND, ME – Applications are now being accepted for the second year of an innovative program that will prepare and launch 25 of Maine’s young emerging leaders to governance roles on nonprofit boards and committees. Nationally, only 6 percent of nonprofit board members are 35 or younger, a troubling figure especially given that Maine has the oldest population in the country. After seeing trends in the state that confirmed that national statistic, the Institute for Civic Leadership (ICL) became concerned with the challenge of engaging Maine’s young leaders in nonprofit board service. “Young leaders who are actively involved in their communities are two to three times more likely to stay in them. This program connects young emerging leaders to their communities and increases their commitment to Maine. In addition, local nonprofits have an opportunity to add new perspectives and energy by engaging young leaders on their boards and board committees,” said ICL Executive Director Jan Kearce. With the belief that this program would help keep Maine’s young people invested in the future of the state, the Cumberland-based Norton Insurance and Financial contributed a matching grant of $10,000 to seed fund the pilot
program last fall and has continued to fund it this year. Additionally, Wright Express, Fairchild Semiconductor, philanthropist Maddy Corson and other anonymous donors have generously stepped in to fund the program again. Thanks to these
The leadership training portion of the program will then continue through mid-December. More information about the program and schedule can be found on the ICL website, www.civicleadership.org. Participants in ICL Young Emerging
Participants in the 2010 ICL Young Emerging Leaders Pilot Program
contributions, participants will pay only $400 of the $2500 per person total training cost. The program begins with a two-day session that will include an overnight at Rippleffect’s outdoor educational outpost on Cow Island in Casco Bay.
Leaders will in turn make a commitment to serve on a nonprofit board or committee in Maine for a minimum duration of six months to three years, a term dictated by the assignment. The matches will be made based on the interests, skills and experience of the participant and the
needs of the receiving nonprofit. Last year’s pilot program was an overwhelming success. Said one of last year’s participants, “Since there will come a day when my generation will inherit the responsibility for these communities, it is important that we provide a voice for ourselves early on, to ensure that we can advocate for the interests of the residents who have a stake in these neighborhoods and organizations.” Ultimately that is the goal of this program: to provide Maine’s young leaders with the ability to take on those critical responsibilities. To request an application for yourself or to suggest a potential participant(s) for the program, please contact Jan Kearce at jkearce@civicleadership.org or 7733254 (ext. 105). Applications are due by Aug. 1, with all applicants being notified of their acceptance status by Aug. 17. The $400 program cost and signed letter of commitment will be due to ICL no later than Aug. 31, with the first training session scheduled for Sept. 30. If you are interested in being a mentor or you are a nonprofit board interested in accepting a program participant to serve on your board or committee, contact ICL Executive Director Jan Kearce at jkearce@civicleadership.org or 773-3254 (ext. 105).
What, in fact, does it mean to be reasonable? What does it mean to be unreasonable? And what does it mean to reason? According to James Allen in “As a Man Thinketh”, when we declare someone as being unreasonable, we usually mean that he or she is violating the ideal of thinking about something and arriving at the “truth” of a situation by using intellect. So it follows that people who are dubbed reasonable in situations are looked upon as using their higher powers of intellect to make a decision and in ways that are likely considered gentle and compassionate. Now, we've all been unreasonable in life at one time or another – that is we've lost touch with our higher selves and resorted to our lower faculties during which we behaved in ways that were likely considered unthinking and selfish. Most people feel unhappy or undone when they abandon reason for something more akin to animal behavior. But how does a person remain reasonable throughout some of the stressful situations that seem to be just around each corner in life? Here are some tips for trying to maintain your equilibrium in life's trials: • Stop before you speak or act. Think about what you are about to say or do? Is it unkind? Is it vengeful? Is it self-centered? If so, you may have just thrown off the cloak of reason and donned unreasonableness. • Is what you are considering saying or doing sweet and forgiving? Is it gently persuasive? • Is what you are about to do or say based on any type of prejudice? • Are you trying to prove or disprove something? • Have you carefully weighed and considered everything important about the situation? • Is what you are about to do or say kind, moderate and just?

Navigating the student loan maze
(ARA) – College costs aren’t limited to just tuition. You need to consider room and board, books, meals, transportation and more. After you’ve applied for scholarships, grants and federal loans, it’s not uncommon to need additional funding for a complete college education. This is where a private student loan can help. If you’re exploring what private loan is right for you, here are some important questions to ask so you can make the right decision for today and your financial future. What is the interest rate? You must decide if you want a fixed-rate loan or a variable-rate loan. A fixed-rate loan will typically have a higher interest rate, but the rate will not fluctuate over the life of the loan, so you're protected from large interest rate swings.
Skilled Trades
For example, U.S. Bank offers two types of student loans. The fixed-rate student loan option offers an interest rate of 7.99 percent (7.80 to 8.46 percent APR) for approved applicants. This provides security because the interest rate will never change. The variable loan rate option has no fees and can range anywhere from a 3.45 percent to a 10.95 percent interest rate (3.39 to 10.22 percent APR). This rate and APR may increase after consummation and can change over the life of the loan. All applications are subject to normal credit approval. It’s important to weigh your options to determine what is right for you. Is co-signing beneficial? Because eligibility, interest rates and reserve fees for private loans are based on your credit, a co-signer may help you get the loan you need at the rates you want. This is particularly true for
younger students who may not have an established credit history. A co-signer may be a parent, guardian or close relative who has an established credit history and stable income. It's important for any co-signer to understand that if the student borrower cannot pay the loan for any reason, the co-signer is then responsible for any remaining loan obligations. What can you afford to borrow? It can be difficult to predict the future, but one way to help determine what amount you should borrow is to estimate your future earnings. It’s wise to be conservative in your estimates. For help determining average earnings for specific careers, visit the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics website. A good general rule to follow is your monthly student loan payment should not be more than 8 percent of your monthly salary. Remember that
5
if you borrow too much and have late or missed payments, this will be reflected on your credit history (and any co-signer’s credit history). What are the repayment terms? Every loan has different terms and it’s important to understand all the details before you sign the paperwork. Some things to consider include how long you have to pay back the entire loan, is there a grace period between graduation and when payments start, and is there a discount for any auto-payment plans? If you don't completely understand the terms, make sure to ask lots of questions. Any time you take out a college loan, only take out as much money as you need for educationrelated expenses. Once you find the right loan for you, you’ll be able to get the degree you want and set yourself up for financial success in the future.

If a good idea occurs to you, what do you do? Do you go to your manager and share it with him or her so you can give it a try? Or do you merely shove the idea to the back of your mind and ignore it? Unfortunately, many great ideas get shelved this way and never see the light of day.
“If you hear a voice within you say ‘you cannot paint,’ then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.”
The next time a great or even good idea occurs to you, and you automatically dismiss it or ignore it, think on this: If you never try, you will never succeed. Give it a shot and see what happens.

Job seekers: Give yourself a SWOT Strengths • Weaknesses • Opportunities • Threats
(ARA) – Have you ever given yourself a SWOT? No. It’s not a typo. With a SWOT analysis, you examine your Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats, along with internal and external factors that might affect your employment search. Many organizations utilize a SWOT analysis to examine their business. A SWOT analysis can also help reduce the anxiety sometimes associated with finding employment. “It’s a matter of confidence over competence, because most people know how to interview, but may not be confident in themselves,” says Chasity Trzop, director of career services at Brown Mackie College - Louisville. Strengths
weaknesses. Focus on what you do well,” she says. Don’t have a canned answer to a question regarding your weak points, because interviewers may have a follow-up question. Never let them see you sweat. As previously mentioned, review comments past employers made about your weaknesses. Opportunities “Half of your job leads should be face-toface or from picking up the phone, not just online,” says Trzop. “People complain about not getting jobs, but they’re not selling themselves nor creating opportunities. You cannot create an opportunity if you don’t know what your strengths are. Go out and volunteer. Create an opportunity.”
When you conduct a SWOT on yourself it's important that you ask, “What can you do well?,” says Trzop. “For example, you may be great at multi-tasking and have great communication skills. Soft skills are usually where you will find strengths. Your strengths could be whatever comes naturally.”
Trzop also suggests networking. Let family, friends and others know you are seeking employment. They may know someone who can help. “You can’t run out of the building yelling, ‘I’ve got a degree’ and expect employers to be waiting outside the door with job offers,” says Trzop.
Always go into an interview with a positive attitude. What is keeping you from calling potential employers? Some of the answers you may give include nerves or not knowing what to say.
To identify threats that could prevent you from finding employment, ask yourself, “What is it that will keep me from having an effective and productive career search?” That’s the most critical time to make contacts in your field. What if you are waiting for a certification document that confirms training you took? Are there other barriers out there? There may be other barriers that could affect a successful job search. Know what those are,” Trzop says. Job seekers who get upset about not finding employment are sometimes too passive. Seek support from a career counselor, placement search teams, or if you are a recent college graduate, seek support and assistance from the career services department.
“Some people just get nervous about the job search. It’s important to identify the issues and work on those issues with career coaches or if you are a recent college graduate, visit your school’s career services department for assistance,” Trzop says. “Consider reviewing comments that were made about your strengths by past employers.” Weaknesses

You should always know your weaknesses, because interviewers will attempt to extract them from you. Never highlight your weak points on your resume or during an interview. When an interviewer asked Trzop about her weaknesses, Trzop used the weakness she once had that is now a strength. She told the interviewer she took extra training to become very proficient in the area.
Threats
While the SWOT analysis creates anxiety during the process, it helps tremendously. Like preventative medicine, you can fix those threats and hopefully come out with promising results.

Remember to laugh well, especially at yourself
According to motivational humorist and president of Corporate Comedy, Jeff Justice, on his Web site, JeffJustice.com, there's nothing like a good sense of humor to lick the daily wounds that stress can leave us with. Here are a few of his suggestions for reducing stress:
Many studies have found that laughing is good for you, and there are even “Laughing Yoga” classes available in some cities. Justice says you should laugh at least 10 times a day, with five of those times being ones in which you laugh at yourself.
Balance your lives Everybody experiences ups and downs, almost every single day. Some meditation experts call this “wild mind.” Remember your experiences are on a continuum and you want to keep yourself somewhere in the middle to stay balanced.
Do deep breathing and stretching exercises Most modern workers spend far too much time sitting at desks or commuting. Get up stretch. Move your body around and get your energy flowing again.
Allow yourself the luxury of making one mistake or being imperfect once a day You will burn out quickly, if you get caught up in perfectionism.
Make a list of things you like to do, and remember to do one of them at least once a day If you have to pay at a toll booth on your way to work, pay for the person behind you Lighten up at work Don't feel like you have to act serious all the time to be taken seriously. Then see how those around you respond.
WANT A BETTER CAREER?
START FROM WHERE YOU ARE Make every effort to build your skills in your current job so that if and when you make a move or go for a promotion, you have something to take with you or show. It’s usually better to go step by step, rather than hope for a big promotion someday. Focus on doing the best possible job you can now, and plan future career moves carefully.
SHARPEN YOUR COMPUTER SKILLS TODAY, it really doesn’t matter what your job is – at some point you will probably need to bee proficient in using a computer. Try to learn everything you can so that you are more marketable.
DEVELOP A LEARNING ATTITUDE Learning in your career should never come to a standstill. Commit yourself to a lifetime of workplace learning and it will pay off nicely.
LEARN TO WORK WELL WITH OTHERS In almost every job, you will be asked to work with others. NETWORK Always talk to others in your industry or profession. This will help you to know what skills you need and keep you on top of job opportunities.
Everyone wants to be successful in the workplace, but sometimes it’s hard to figure out how to get your career moving in the right direction. Follow these five tips to ensure that you build skills and start movement to where you want to be.

Once you’ve chosen a style (formal, informal, professional, elegant, etc.) you’ll need to make sure you have dates for all the positions you’ve held that you intend to include. A good rule of thumb to follow is to list the last ten years of employment unless you have had more than five positions in those ten years. If you have had five positions in the last five or six years then list only those, but be prepared to answer questions from your interviewer on why you have “job hopped” so much. The interviewer may not use that term exactly, but that is what they are thinking, so have a good answer ready.

Recognize your career successes By Bill Ryan, Ryan Career Services
We are largely driven to enhance our careers by the need to feel successful. The urge to link our efforts with purposeful outcomes is a primal motivator for the professional person. The desire to make a difference for others and ourselves gets us up in the morning. Capturing success may be frequently elusive, but it's a goal most of think is worth pursuing. In today's world, being successful implies there is continual growth and improvement. Some professionals are fortunate to find they have chosen a job that allows for and even rewards career evolution. New, novel, and stimulating challenges are always being presented, which provide opportunities for repeat successes. These people are happy with their jobs. They don't want or need to enter a job search. They feel successful where they are. But for many others, the ring of achievement is not sounding at their jobs, or at least not enough. This group feels stuck. For them, work isn't offering enough pay-off. Boredom and too much routine have set in. And these people are just as professional and talented as the above group. So what's going on? It's called reaching a plateau. Here is a very typical scenario. We finish our formal education and get a job, or series of jobs, which may or may not be related to what we studied in school.
July 11–24, 2011
Eventually we settle into a "decent enough" job. The salary is okay, co-workers become friends, and we start experiencing our first professional successes. We feel grown-up—we've arrived. But give it five or ten years and the dull weight of a beenthere-done-that attitude takes hold. Work weeks start to feel too long and weekends too short. Frequent funks and a sense of stagnation start to become the norm. Inertia now seems to guide us more than the exciting quest for work gain. This becomes the time to strongly consider a career defibrillator. You need to get back to feeling worthy. Now you could look for a job change, or redefine your role with your current employer, or you could go entrepreneurial. Whichever route you take to rekindle career happiness will involve enlisting one fundamental practice to place you in the most advantageous position to reach this goal. That is, to determine clearly and be able to communicate effectively what success means to you and how in the past you have gone about attaining it. When you're able to identify your unique success metrics, you are then able to make claim to your professional value. You can cite contributions that have benefited others. With this self-realization you know what ball to keep your eye on. It becomes easier to envision yourself in situations, in which you can practice your craft and again be successful.
So how do you measure success for yourself? Here is an exercise for distilling career success and happiness into practical and powerful statements, which can be used as guides for future work. This is a way to promote yourself to those who may be able to provide opportunities for future successes. Begin compiling a record of your greatest hits. List the achievements of which you are most proud. Have these statements contain actual, and if possible, quantifiable results. Look for the ways you found remedies to problems, resolved issues, mediated conflicts, assisted in growth, created novel solutions, improved efficiencies, and so on. For example,

Reinvent your future:
How to stand out in a tough job market (ARA) – Whether you are looking for work or working at a job where you want to advance to the next level, staying relevant in the current job market can be a challenge. Here are some top tips from employment insiders about how to create your own brand and stand out above the competition. 1. Education If you want to hear "you're hired" or "you're promoted" a great place to focus your efforts is on education. Keeping your skills current in your industry is crucial if you want to stand out above other candidates. Getting an advanced degree, taking college classes and other job training can be a big differentiator. Luckily for the 21st century workforce, attending college isn't just for those fresh out of high school. With online degrees, flexible scheduling, and more variety of courses than ever before, you can take the exact class to get the skills you need to make a difference in your career. Research colleges like University of Phoenix, which is known for its innovative approach to curriculum
www.MyJobWave.com
flexibility for students who need to balance education with family and job commitments. 2. Industry networking Sometimes finding the right job is all about who you know. The best way to increase your networking is to join a professional organization in your industry. Some organizations are free and others may require a small membership fee, but the investment can have high returns. You'll get the opportunity to attend meetings, stay current on what's happening in your field, and also mingle with others who might have the career connection you're seeking. Social media is another great channel when expanding networking efforts. Consider joining LinkedIn and connect to colleagues as well as industry insiders. Facebook is another popular option, but make sure you keep content and conversations professional. 3. Volunteer Whether you are currently working or
unemployed, volunteering helps keep your skills fresh and shows you're willing to go the extra mile. Plus you'll demonstrate your ability to work as part of a team. Volunteering is a great addition to any resume and is also a perfect conversation topic during an interview. Start by researching nonprofits that have openings that interest you and schedule a meeting to learn more. 4. Read This advice may sound simplistic, but staying up to date on the news in your industry is crucial. With most industries changing at a rapid pace, being out of the loop for a couple months can mean you've fallen behind. Read newspapers,
Employment Times - ME • NH
subscribe to trade publications, and check out books from your library. This knowledge will help you in so many ways, from knowing what companies are thriving and therefore hiring, to having subject matter to pull from during a tough interview. Spend just 15 minutes a day reading industry news and you'll give yourself an edge against the competition. Even though the job market remains very competitive, that doesn't mean opportunities aren't available for those who are proactive. By doing things like attending an online college or networking at industry events, you'll be able to create a strong name for yourself and reach all your career goals.

‘Employment Times’ publisher named to Department of Labor post By Daniel
Hartill, Staff Writer, Sun Journal
LEWISTON — Jeanne Paquette, the founder of the Employment Times, has been named deputy commissioner of the Maine Department of Labor.
human resources for Creative Work Systems. She has served on the Maine Jobs Council and is currently a board member of the Maine State Chamber of Commerce.
It’s a role that means a new title and workplace for the longtime publisher, who started the free newspaper in 1999. Yet, her mission is the same, she said.
In 2009, Employment Times merged with the Sun Media Group, parent company of the Sun Journal. Soon after the merger, Paquette and Sun Media launched MyJobWave.com.
“People in the state of Maine need every kind of resource they can get to find a job,” Paquette said. That’s why she started the paper. And that’s what will guide her in her new role, she said.
Employment Times publishes about 35,000 copies every two weeks and is distributed to 1,200 locations in Maine and seacoast New Hampshire.
“We want to help good people find good jobs, and we want to help good companies to find good people,” she said.
Paquette, who plans to begin work in Augusta in July, said she is unsure what her exact duties will be as deputy commissioner.
Paquette’s new boss will be Labor Commissioner Robert Winglass of Auburn, who was sworn in on June 3. Winglass retired from the Marine Corps as a lieutenant general before representing Auburn for two terms in the Maine Legislature beginning in 1992.
“I was asking around and really wanted to do something with the Labor Department,” she said.
Paquette described Winglass as experienced and “down to earth” in their meetings. “I like his style,” she said. “He’s done a lot and I think I could learn a lot from him.” Paquette, who lives in North Yarmouth, has made a career out of examining labor issues. Before starting Employment Times, she served as vice president of human relations for Androscoggin Bank and was the director of
Jeanne Paquette, founding partner and publisher of Employment Times, HRTimes & MyJobWave.com.
The professional job finder learned she was hired last week and began studying a thick volume of information on the department, which employs about 500 people.
Congratulations, Jeanne!
“I think the Department of Labor needs to support the workers and the businesses,” she said. “I think we’re going to be looking at every facet of labor to see how we can help them to strengthen teams which ultimately helps the state.”
Everyone here at Employment Times, HRTimes and MyJobWave.com are excited for you and your new opportunity. Thank you for everything you’ve taught and instilled in us.
