ARE

YOU BEING PAID

WHAT YOU ARE

WORTH? By Robin Ryan

Author of Over 40 & You’re Hired

Employers are hiring and unemployment rates have taken another dip yet many workers are underpaid for the job they perform. Many people in years past were grateful for their job and didn’t push for a raise. But is that truly a smart professional move? Anne is a recent career counseling client who asked for help when she found out that a co-worker who held her same job title was making $18,000 more than she was. Anne is a talented IT specialist works for a Boston-area utility. Over the last several years, she has had five promotions but all were simply title changes with no extra salary for taking on the added duties. Armed with convincing salary data and an outline of her past accomplishments, Anne went to HR and to her Boss demanding that she be compensated retroactively to each

DECEMBER 15, 2017

promotion. She just heard that this plan was approved and not only will she get her $18,000 salary increase, but she’ll receive a very large lump sum for past due wages too. Of course none of this would have happened if she had not finally taken initiative and pushed this hard to be paid fairly. Anne learned a hard lesson - loyalty, doing a great job and waiting for others to notice does not always equate to a jump in pay. A recent survey on employee satisfaction conducted by SHRM stated that the top item that employees care most about is compensation. Yet when I ask in my classes if the attendees know what their skills and value is worth in today’s workplace - rarely does even one hand go up. This is not good career management.

Easiest way: Visit www.payscale.com where you will find the most current salary calculators.

Do you know what you should be paid? If you are looking for a new job either internally or searching for a new employer KNOWING what your value is will be imperative to getting a fair compensation package.

So here’s how to determine exactly what your true marketplace value is.

Robin Ryan is the bestselling author of 60 Seconds & You’re Hired!; Winning Resumes; Winning Cover Letters; Soaring On Your Strengths; What to Do with the Rest of VOL. ISSUE 1120 Hired. Your Life; and22 Over 40 & You’re

Another option: Research trade journals and your professional association’s website to search for salary scales. They may or may not note the regional variations. For example, workers in the Northeast US are usually paid higher wages than workers in the South. Once you are armed with this info you can approach your company and ask for a merit raise or use this information during salary negotiations with a new employer. Either way, your future will be more prosperous and you’ll know for a fact that you are earning the salary you deserve to be paid.

Robin has a career counseling practice working with works with individual clients across the US helping them land better jobs. For more career help visit: www.RobinRyan.com EOE

Dave Says BY DAV E R A M S E Y

Dave Ramsey is America’s trusted voice on money & business. He has authored five New York Times best-selling books, including The Total Money Makeover. The Dave Ramsey Show is heard by more than 8.5 million listeners each week on more than 550 radio stations. Follow Dave on Twitter at @DaveRamsey & on the web at daveramsey.com.

THE PAST CAN HAUNT YOU Dear Dave, My wife co-signed on a loan for an old boyfriend five or six years ago. Now, a collection agency is after her for the remaining $5,000. We make about $90,000 a year combined, and our attorney recommended we file Chapter 7 bankruptcy. The idea of filing bankruptcy scares me. Is there a better way to handle this? Jeffery Dear Jeffery, Your attorney doesn’t sound very bright. A bankruptcy stays on your record for years. It’s just plain stupid to consider trashing your financial life over $5,000. This collector bought the loan for pennies on the dollar. It’s an old debt, and that means there are very low expectations for collection. At the same time, your wife did co-sign for the loan. If you have the money, and you can pay it off without hurting yourselves financially, do it. That’s the right thing, both morally and legally. If you don’t have that kind of cash on hand, try haggling with them. See if you can get them to agree to settle for $2,500. Remember to get this agreement in writing before you send them a dime, and do not give them access to your bank account. Chances are they’ll threaten to sue and all that stuff, but my guess is you can work out something on an old loan like this. It may take a couple of weeks and a little patience, but that’s a small price to pay if it saves you $2,500.

APPS AND STOCKS? Dear Dave, What do you think about online investing apps, and the way they allow you to jump in and out of stocks for really low fees? Anonymous

Dear Anonymous, I don’t think about them, and I don’t use them. And I don’t play single stocks — period. There’s a ton of research out there showing that people who play individual stocks on their own — or with their broker, or with a golfing buddy — see a rate of return of about seven percent on average. You can make anywhere from 10 to 14 percent, on average, with good growth stock mutual funds. I could probably play single stocks more intelligently than most people, but why? If the average is noticeably less than I’m seeing with my mutual funds, why bother going there? Plus, with a mutual fund portfolio, you’ve got someone who does this kind of thing for a living managing and researching your investments for you in your best interest. I don’t have an app on my phone that lets me trade stocks, nor do I plan on getting one. There’s nothing wrong with apps, in general, but I’ll never recommend jumping in and out of single stocks as a method of investing. —Dave

Sorry, but you guys will have to pay something to make this go away. And I hope it teaches you both a valuable lesson — never co-sign on a loan! —Dave

Dave Ramsey can be heard on KSEV AM700 Weekdays 2:00pm - 4:00 pm DECEMBER 15, 2017

DECEMBER 15, 2017

You’re a WHAT? We all know that words convey information. But did you know that the appearance of the letters can also speak? The way letters look can change how we perceive words. It can convey an emotion, add formality, or even elicit a cultural response. “The words on traffic signs, for example, always look the same to help you recognize them quicker,” says font designer Rich Roat of Yorklyn, Delaware. “If they looked different, traffic signs would seem strange to us.” Letters with a consistent aesthetic use the same font or typeface. But a font is more than letters. It’s a collection of all text characters, known as glyphs. Glyphs include numbers, symbols, and punctuation marks, as well as letters. Font designers package these glyphs into a cohesive font.

What they do Font designers create fonts to meet a client’s needs or their own. Working at font design companies or for themselves, designers can approach a project in different ways. For example, they may work off an existing font or develop one from scratch. “Font design is a very independent type of trade,” Rich says. “Everyone can do it differently.” DESIGN. Font designers develop a font’s aesthetic based on its intended use. Designers consider the font’s message, whether it will serve as a headline or body text, and where it typically will be presented. For example, a movie poster might need a more casual, eye-grabbing font than one for an academic journal.

46 DECEMBER 15, 2017

But designers must think about more than a font’s intended use. Fonts must be appealing and easy to read in different sizes and media, such as mobile devices and computer monitors. They must also stand out from the competition, which increasingly includes free fonts online. Font design requires a lot of trial and error. Most font designers draw directly on a computer using a pen tablet and a font design program. Font designers who prefer to draw by hand must later scan and trace their drawings on a computer. Computers help designers experiment, manage different versions, and maintain a database of relevant glyphs. The font design process can take one month to several years, depending on a font’s complexity. The more variations—such as bold or italics—and languages the font must support, the more complex it is, and the more glyphs a designer must create. A simple font might need 256 glyphs, but a complex one, such as Arial, might need more than 6,000 glyphs. After completing a font’s design, designers package the glyphs into a standard format that computers can read. They then sell it or distribute it for free. CLIENT INTERACTION. Font designers, particularly those doing freelance or commission work, often interact with clients. Talking to clients helps designers determine the font’s requirements from the outset. Early design decisions, like the spacing between glyphs, are particularly important because they’re difficult and time consuming to change later on. Designers also receive feedback from the client during the font design process. They use this feedback to better tailor the font to the client’s needs.

OTHER. Some font designers perform additional duties, such as researching fonts for ideas. Other designers, especially those who are self-employed, may need to promote their services, handle billing, and purchase supplies.

How they prepare Font designers typically need a combination of education and experience. Fast drawing skills and a design aesthetic are also important. Self-employed designers need some administrative and marketing skills. EDUCATION. Most font design companies hire graduates of art or design school programs. Some of these programs offer courses in font design. But specialized font design programs are rare. Cooper Union, a nonprofit university in New York, offers the only such program—a postgraduate certificate—in the United States. Another education option for aspiring font designers is apprenticeship. Apprentices learn the trade working alongside experienced font designers. But apprenticeships usually are available only at some small companies. EXPERIENCE. Aspiring font designers who forgo school or an apprenticeship can still gain experience on their own. With inexpensive technology, would-be font designers can create fonts on their home computer and share them online.

Networking can provide another important resource for gaining experience. “Who you know can expand your knowledge of tools, develop your design aesthetic, and help you find work,” Rich says.

What it’s like There are many factors that every aspiring font designer should consider. These factors include the work environment, employment and wages, and the occupation’s challenges and rewards. WORK ENVIRONMENT. Font designers generally work alone. But work hours vary by employer. Some, like Rich, work during regular business hours. Others work irregular hours, which may include weekends or overtime, to complete a project. Self-employed designers often set their own schedule. EMPLOYMENT AND WAGES. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) does not collect employment and wage data specifically for font designers. Instead, BLS counts these workers among graphic designers. In May 2016, according to BLS, there were VOL. 22 ISSUE 1120

266,300 graphic designers employed in the United States. Their median annual wage was $47,640. Data are for wage and salary workers only and do not include the selfemployed. CHALLENGES AND REWARDS. Designing fonts is challenging, both technically and artistically. “You must have a balance of right and left brain skills,” Rich says. For example, font designers might need to program their own computer tools or determine a consistent spacing between each glyph. Sometimes, font design is repetitive and time consuming. To make a font work in another language, for example, a designer needs to create many glyphs to present new characters, such as the accented vowels and inverted question marks required for Spanish. And even when doing repetitive tasks, designers still have to make aesthetic decisions. “We can’t turn over the grunt work to someone else,” says Rich. But the technical and artistic challenges of the work also bring rewards. “Font design is always interesting,” Rich says. “There’s always a new way to do something because there are always new ideas and new media to present them in.”

And when their work is done, font designers enjoy producing something tangible that many people may see. Some people never realize that there was a designer behind every letter they read, but that’s OK with Rich. For him, font design is more than a job: “It’s a passion.” Dennis Vilorio is an economist in the Office of Occupational Statistics and Employment Projections, BLS.

Q: Diana, do you remember when you told me that many people do not want to do face-to-face customer service? Is it because a lot of people are shy and therefore don’t want to? Let’s say that someone wanted to work for DHL, FedEx, UPS, or a company called TNT, and they felt shy about doing this line of work, what would you recommend to them to overcome this shyness? What does this shyness mean?

Once you realize that most people are concerned only with their own situation and perceptions, you know that they are defi nitely not watching you or concentrating on your behavior. When that becomes clear to you, you have a feeling of relief and more freedom to interact without worry. Being too shy can inhibit your career growth even though you are able to interact normally with family and long-time friends.

- Richmond, Texas Reader

Q: I was laid off a few years ago and have done contract and temp work since then. It’s hard to piece together a living when you don’t work enough. Being an offi ce temp is sucking the life out of me! I think I can be described as an “older worker” because I’m 50 now. In my fi eld, young people get the jobs because they constantly upgrade their skills and are innovative. I ’m still innovative, and my skills are certainly not rusty, but the perception by recruiters has been devastatingly withering. I know I should take some classes to upgrade, but that’s not cheap. I may try to change fi elds, but I sure know that being a receptionist is not my life goal. Any suggestions?

A: Shyness is usually too much self-awareness

combined with a fear that other people are watching and judging you. It is also a fear of social situations and “doing the wrong thing.” Children who are naturally more fearful tend to be shy adults. There is some evidence that this is a genetic trait. Sure, a lot of people are shy. Usually introverts would fi t into this category, but sometimes they are not shy - they simply are not gregarious. Overcoming shyness requires two things: A desire to change and the will to make the changes. Realize that everyone feels shy in some settings and concentrate on changing the way you perceive meeting others. It can take a lot of work, but I am DECEMBER 2017 52proof living that you15, can change.

-Houston, Texas Reader

A: To state the obvious: This is a hard one. I see

people reinvent themselves every day, and it

always makes me happy to see them reach beyond their past to fi nd new ways of being happy in their work. You have to decide exactly what you want to do because that’s something no one else can do for you. You have nearly 20 years more in the workforce, and you have always stayed at your jobs for a long time. Trust me: that is a valuable attribute to employers. Once you’ve decided what you want to do, go for it. If you need training, there are lots of free training programs available at colleges like Lone Star, San Jacinto, Sam Houston etc. Check out some of them by looking at JobSparx.com. In addition to training, research the companies that are currently looking for people in the fi eld you want. Understand that you will be starting at the bottom of the ladder again and won’t make as much money as you did at your last job. You will have to work hard to make this change and learn as you go. I think you are up for this challenge but you need to get started immediately! You can make 2018 the year of new beginnings. If you have any questions about interviewing, hiring, or work, I’d love to hear from you. Due to the volume of response, not every question will appear in the column, but most questions will receive an email response within 2 to 3 days.

rules Christmas Stockings

Courtesy of DaveRamsey.com

to spruce up gifts in

Stocking stuffers at Christmas are kind of like cranberry sauce at Thanksgiving. It’s there every year, but it’s usually an afterthought. It’s the opening band for the big concert.

But don’t you think the Christmas stocking deserves a little more love? After all, those stockings — hung delicately over the fireplace — are the first to greet Santa as he belly flops into your living room, and the first to bid him farewell when he climbs back up. Because we think stockings deserve a little more attention this Christmas, we thought we’d share our five rules for stocking stuffers:

SET A DOLLAR LIMIT This is top priority! How much are you going to spend on each stocking? Some people like to keep the stocking stuffers cheap, while other people use the stockings to go all out with smaller gifts like jewelry or watches. Either way is fine, but make sure you budget for the stocking just like everything else.

PUT SOME THOUGHT INTO IT The stocking isn’t an afterthought. It’s a gift, like any other gift under the tree. Ask yourself this question: Am I filling the stocking just to say I’ve filled it, or am I buying stuff the other person will appreciate? Maybe your spouse would like a Starbucks gift card and some chocolate more than a 10-pack of socks!

THINK OUTSIDE THE STOCKING Do you give the same stocking stuffers every year — a gift card, maybe a pack or two of gum and some candy? What could you do that’s ISSUE 1120 completely differentVOL. this22 year?

You might consider giving coupons for acts of kindness (like watching the kids one night while your wife goes out for a girl’s night), or giving details about a special summer vacation you’re saving for. Sometimes an experience is more memorable than a physical gift, so what type of experience can you provide with the stocking?

CONSIDER A THEME Rather than just a hodgepodge of different stuff, you might want to consider creating a theme for each stocking. It doesn’t have to be fancy or expensive, but that little bit of extra effort could make someone’s Christmas morning even more special.

DON’T FORCE IT There’s nothing wrong with simply using the stockings as decorations, and saving all your money for the gifts under the tree. If your family has never done the stocking thing there’s no need to start now — unless you truly feel like the change will be worth it. Your traditions are your traditions. Own them, and be proud! But if you find yourself trying to spice up your stocking-stuffer game this year, take these ideas to heart. We think your family and friends will appreciate the extra effort! —Used with permission from DaveRamsey.com DECEMBER 15, 2017
