In a perfect world, all job applicants would be evaluated on the merits of their potential job performance. Unfortunately for today’s job seekers, the current market is far from perfect, and you will need to do everything in your power to impress employers. The first thing that any employer will notice is your attire. While some might consciously note the sharpness of your dress, all will make judgments on a sub-conscious level. With this in mind, you’d be wise to dress appropriately for the situation, adhering to the following tips when you head to your first big interview.

You can never go wrong with a blue or charcoal suit Too often, men assume that they can dress casually because the culture of a company is casual. Even some of the most formal professions – including finance and law – feature corporate cultures that allow business casual. If you are doing something like software design or advertising, then you’re also likely to encounter a more laid-back feel. This does not mean that you get to dress in a casual manner on your interview.

It’s best to overdress for your interview.

Your employer will respect the fact that you take the process seriously, and you will earn points for a responsible decision.

A smartly dressed man will wear a dark blue suit or a lighter charcoal version.

You can’t go wrong with a white or blue shirt, and you need a tie that’s neutral.

Shy away from patterned or loud ties, going with red, blue, or gold when given the option.

Invest a few dollars in dry cleaning or laundry service Simply having the right clothes is not enough. Those clothes must also present well during the interview. Even a thousand dollar suit looks ragged on a man who chooses not to iron or clean that suit. For only a few dollars, you can have your suit dry-cleaned at a local cleaning service. This will take a couple of days, and you won’t have to waste your time ironing. For little more than a dollar, you can have your shirts professionally laundered. Ask for medium starch when you pay for this service, and you’ll come away with shirts that can nearly stand up on their own.

When your clothes are pressed, you appear mature, professional, and prepared. Consider the high stakes that go along with any job interview, this is a small financial investment that can pay major dividends. Whether you’ll be working in a back room or out front with potential clients, you need to put on a professional face when you’re in the interview process.

Acing Job Interviews: Three Tips on How to

Dress for Success

as a Man

Take no chances with your grooming You should always remember and follow one piece of advice when going to an interview. It is best to take no chances because you are working with limited information. This applies when it comes to grooming. You should shave your facial hair or, at the very least, trim your beard or goatee carefully. You should sport a shorter, traditional hair cut when you’re going through interviews. It is true that some employers and interviewers might appreciate some personality. No candidate has ever been written off for having a clean look, though, and you shouldn’t close doors by taking unnecessary risks.

At the end of the day, the way you dress won’t make or break your interview. The goal is to have the interviewer appreciate your professional appearance before quickly forgetting it. If you have made a lasting impression with your clothing, then chances are that you’ve made a mistake. By dressing in a conservative, well-tailored manner, give your qualifi NOVEMBER 23, 2018cations and personality a chance to shine.

ARE YOU LOOKING FOR

REGULAR HOURS, BALANCED HOME AND ROAD LIFE

By Bill Lampton, Ph.D. Whether we expect it or not, sometimes when we attend a networking event we will have to give our 30 second "elevator speech," describing our business-in hopes we will attract potential customers.

Sure, some professional people welcome those occasions. They have described their services briefly to many audiences, so they feel comfortable with the situation--and know what they are going to say.

and

COMPETITIVE PAY?

Many others, though, dread the experience. If you are among those who don't know how to capsule your services that briefly in a compelling way, then you will benefit from this simple three-step formula.

ONE: MENTION YOUR CREDENTIALS Probably this is the easiest of the three steps, because you have done this in a variety of settings, both formal and informal.

Example: "After graduating from the Duke University School of Law, I have been in practice here for twenty-one years."

haul driver Valid Class A CDL • 3-5 years experience Must be Able to drive a Winch Truck or Low Boy

Yes, that's enough. No need to mention big cases you have won or awards that have come your way. You have established your credibility with that one statement.

Quick apply at JOBSPARX.COM

TWO: TELL WHAT PROBLEMS YOU SOLVE Once more, remembering how quickly a thirty-second span ends, keep it simple:

Or call Charla: 281-440-7733

"I help you reduce your car insurance premiums by as much as twenty per cent."

JOB ID 10768

CLAYTON OILFIELD SERVICES TRANSPORTATION

"My company makes sure your heating and air conditioning units keep you comfortable."

$5,200

"The retirement plan my firm designs with you will protect your financial assets and give you peace of mind."

SIGN-ON BONUS

Naturally, you will strengthen your case if you mention a client you helped recently or are consulting with currently: "The hotel we are meeting in now heard complaints from guests who saw rats and mice running through the hallways. Our pest control company got rid of them within twenty-four hours, and there have been no sightings since our servicing four weeks ago."

Your audience will respond enthusiastically to presenters who can solve their problems-just as you want to hire problem solvers.

THREE: GIVE A CALL TO ACTION Surprisingly, many talented professionals don't include an invitation in their half-minute presentation. Yet you miss a grand opportunity if you generate attention without calling for response that goes beyond polite applause. Some options: "I'll stick around afterward, and will be glad to chat with any of you who have questions."

Long Haul, Regional & Local

DRIVERS

Current Class A CDL • Minimum 23+ years old

"Give me your business card after the meeting, so we can set a time for coffee and conversation."

Minimum 1 year with Tanker/ISO experience

"I'll welcome you to my mailing list, so I can send you more information on this topic. So please give me your e-mail address before you leave."

Pass a Background Check • Good Driving Record

Keep this formula in mind: credentials, problem solving, call to action.

Your next 30 seconds in front of an audience will flow smoothly, and you will welcome the positive benefits.

5 Steps

to Successful Employment Offer Negotiations In The Construction, Engineering Industries

By Michael M DeSafey Many job candidates in the construction industry fail to negotiate when they receive an employment offer. Failure to engage in employment offer negotiations typically stems from an applicant's lack of negotiation skills, fear of rejection, or worry that attempts to negotiate will anger a hiring manager. Construction and engineering professionals should arrive at the negotiating table armed with current salary data and a summary of their special skills.

Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/expert/Michael_M_DeSafey/1832732

Below are five tips designed to help professionals in the construction and engineering industries successfully engage in employment offer negotiations.

22

1

Do your research. Arrive at the negotiating table armed with the latest statistics and salary trends in the construction or engineering industries. Make sure that the data you reference possesses the following attributes: Citing data from the past twelve months will help your case.

Statistics and salary data that you cite should correspond to the position you seek and your qualifications.

Cite data from credible sources such as the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics

2

Have your brag book on hand. Do not be afraid to remind employers of your accomplishments, awards, and notable projects you managed.

You should also reference any contributions you have made to your local community. Summarize your professional achieve-

ments and activities in an organized format that will delight employers and enhance your odds of securing your dream offer.

3

Highlight your special skills and certifications. When you negotiate for additional compensation or job-related perks, you need to be ready to justify your value as an employee.

Examples of relevant certifications or special skills that would help your negotiation efforts include the following: • • •

4

Certified Construction Manager (CCM) Certified Professional Construction Certification (CPCC) Construction Engineering Certification

Be prepared to compromise. Ideally, you will succeed with your negotiations. However, there is a chance that an employer will reject your request or present a counteroffer.

Remember to respond gracefully regardless of the news that you receive.

5

Follow up. It is unlikely that you will receive a confirmed offer immediately after you finish negotiating with a potential employer. In most cases, hiring managers will require time to finalize a decision and prepare an updated offer. In the interim, follow up with the employer to express your appreciation for considering your request.

Do not enter employment offer negotiations without a strategic plan. By following the tips above, you can increase your odds of success at the negotiating table and receiving the employment offer that you deserve.

GENERAL

Q: I feel like technology has passed me by. My last job didn’t require anything but really basic computer skills, and since I started looking for something new, I realize that I am way behind the times. How can I get some computer skills without spending a bunch of money? I’m just worried about fi nding a new job and really nervous about the interview process.

-Spring, Texas Reader A: As long as you have a basic knowledge, it won’t be hard for you to brush up your skills. There are many free resources that can help you become more marketable. If you live close to a Harris County Library, call them to see what classes they are currently off ering. You can check with Worksource Solutions because they also off er various classes. In addition, check the JobSparx Events Calendar to see what is being off ered. https://www.jobsparx.com/ Events If you are nervous about your interviewing skills, check out WorkFaith Connections to sign up for one of their free 8 day workshops. 78% of the people who graduate from the workshop fi nd employment. You won’t be nervous after you learn some interviewing skills Q: I’ve been laid off 3 times in the past from diff erent employers.

I have been told twice today that my resume makes me look like a job hopper. How does one paint a picture to an employer that being laid off does not equal job hopping? Any advice would be helpful!

-Houston, Texas Reader A: It can be tempting to tell a recruiter/interviewer all of your issues, but I would recommend that you don’t do that. I am often amazed at what candidates tell me that they shouldn’t! At that point, it will be okay to mention that you have been laid off three times, and that each time, a number of people were let go at the same time. If you were the only one who was laid off, it doesn’t look good. If you are emailing your resume to catch their interest, you can say that you are looking for a job where you can stay and grow in the position. Tell them that you do not like to change jobs, but you have been forced to do so because of layoff s. That should make them realize that it wasn’t your fault. Good luck.

Q: I want to be a plumber, but I don’t have time to take classes as I am earning the only paycheck in our family. My wife worked for a long time, but she has been fi ghting cancer for a year. It looks like she’s in remission, but I would never ask her to work again unless she felt 100% okay doing it. I know I could make more money as a plumber, but I don’t know how to switch careers.

-Bellaire, Texas Reader A: You would actually have to take some training because there are certifi cations and licensing required. Some HVAC/Plumbing companies actually train, and then they help you buy tools. That might be the best way for you to change careers. Call several plumbing companies to see if they train.

-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.

JOBS

Adrenaline Elka Torpey

High- intensity Careers Jen Sharp understands risk. She routinely harnesses first-time skydivers to a parachute system and falls out of an airplane with them... As

they plummet toward the ground at 120 miles per hour, Sharp is responsible for controlling the fall and deploying the parachute. “It’s like you’re flying,” she says. “You feel very powerful and very vulnerable at the same time.” After opening the parachute, she maneuvers herself and her student safely to the ground.

Helping students during a jump and successfully giving them their first skydiving experience is just part of the job for Sharp, a skydive instructor in Osage City, Kansas. Before each jump, Sharp checks the weather, readies the equipment, and teaches her students about proper jumping procedure. “We prepare so much,” she says, “but in the moment, you just have to act. That’s an intense, fun part of what we do.”

Potential risk, excitement, and more

Across all occupations there is the possibility for intense situations. But in the occupations described here, the chances of encountering them are high. And in many cases, lives or property are at stake.

Uncertainty is also a given, as workers rarely know exactly what will happen next. “With a flick of the switch, everything changes,” says emergency medical technician (EMT) Frank Wagner of Elizabeth, New Jersey. “Everything can be perfectly normal one minute, and then it’s not.”

The occupations described in this section are grouped by those in which workers • Protect the public • Save lives • Encounter danger or adventure.

Protect the public

Every city and town needs workers to keep the public safe and maintain law and order. And doing so, at times, is risky.

Correctional officers. Overseeing accused or convicted criminals in jails or prisons requires correctional officers to be alert and prepared for the unexpected.

NOVEMBER 23, 2018

Criminal investigators. Criminal investigators get close to the action when they visit crime scenes, interview witnesses or suspects, and conduct raids and arrests.

Firefighters. Whether rushing into a burning building or acting as first responders during medical emergencies, firefighters perform a variety of challenging tasks.

Police. Police are always on the lookout for trouble as they patrol areas for signs of criminal activity, respond to calls, and arrest people suspected of breaking the law.

ER physicians. Heart attacks, severe trauma, accidental poisonings—lots of medical problems might present themselves in the emergency room that can cause these doctors’ stress levels to rise.

Encounter danger or adventure

These workers go places—or do things—that others dare not, all for the sake of their jobs.

Chart 3 shows projected job openings for a few occupations in which danger or adventure are often intertwined with the work. Military careers are not included in the chart, because BLS does

Security guards. These workers monitor for theft, terrorist acts, and other illegal activity.

Security guards may experience intense situations when called on to enforce the rules.

Save lives

Although healthcare providers and emergency workers have some routine tasks, their responsibilities intensify when life-threatening situations arise. Job prospects vary by occupation.

9-1-1 operators. Police, fire, and ambulance dispatchers answer emergency calls, notify first responders, and provide immediate assistance as necessary.

Ambulance drivers and attendants. With their vehicle lights flashing and sirens wailing, ambulance drivers and attendants transport patients to facilities quickly and safely so that patients can receive medical attention as soon as possible.

Critical care nurses. These nurses care for patients who require intensive care, which might involve, for example, monitoring people who have gone into shock.

EMTs and paramedics. Among the first to arrive during a crisis, EMTs and paramedics treat sick or injured people on the spot and help get them to a medical facility for further care.

VOL. 23 ISSUE 1168

not make projections for those occupations.

The number of military personnel is expected to remain fairly consistent through 2024, with job openings arising from the need to replace those who leave military service.

Military personnel. Although combat specialty personnel are among the most likely members of the military to encounter danger, plenty of other military personnel might also work under stress.

Explosives workers. The threat involved in detonating or transporting volatile substances makes explosives workers’ jobs inherently dangerous.

From highest highs to lowest lows

Extreme sports instructors. A relatively small number of self-enrichment education teachers show others how to perform daring feats, such as rock climbing, skydiving, or whitewater kayaking.

But the stress can take a toll, and despite workers’ best efforts, there is no guarantee things will go as planned. “There are always those situations that don’t have the happy ending we all hope for,” says Blake Govan, a police dispatcher in Detroit, Michigan. “That’s hard to deal with, and you may even second-guess your decision making.”

Fishing workers. Fishing workers are on the seas in all conditions, doing very physical work on slippery surfaces and risking injury.

However, excitement kicks in when they bring in a large haul.

Hazmat removal workers. In the chaotic aftermath of accidents or disasters, hazardous materials removal workers rush to the scene to help clean up.

In addition to providing good wages, intense or action-packed careers are often interesting and fulfilling, say workers in these occupations.

Schedules may be long and grueling, with some workers regularly having 10- or 12-hour shifts that include nights, weekends, or holidays. And in many of these occupations, injury, illness, and fatality rates are higher than average.

To reduce risk factors, workers take precautions, such as by wearing protective gear or adhering to workplace safety guidelines. Still, their jobs may expose them daily to disease, suffering, or other physically and emotionally taxing situations.

Support from colleagues helps these workers persevere through the hardships. And many are driven by a desire to succeed amid challenges.

Working through difficult situations is important, says Sharp—especially when giving up is not an option. Wagner agrees. “You can’t get upset or shaken up,” he says. “You just do your job.”

The variety of work in many of the occupations is also a plus. “Every day is an adventure,” says Govan. But perhaps the greatest reward is the opportunity to have a positive effect on others.

“When you go home, you feel like you’ve served a purpose,” says Kevin Stuart, a correctional officer in Brazos County, Texas. “That’s really satisfying.”

Getting started

Workers in high-intensity jobs say it takes a lot more than a desire for action or excitement to succeed in these occupations.

For starters, you must be adaptable and perform well under pressure. Good judgment and self-control are also important. And the ability to communicate with all types of people is essential, as is following protocol. “When you take shortcuts, that’s when things become risky,” says Stuart.

In addition, some combination of education, training, or other preparation is typically required for entry.

Education VOL. 23 ISSUE 1168

To enter most of the occupations mentioned in this article, you’ll need a high school diploma or the equivalent. But even then, employers may prefer to

hire workers with additional education. Only fishing workers typically can enter their occupation without a formal educational credential.

Among the occupations that typically require higher levels of education for entry are firefighters (certificate or other postsecondary non-degree award), registered nurses (bachelor’s degree), and doctors (professional degree.)

Training

Performing well in high-stress situations requires a certain level of competency, which is frequently honed while training on the job. Table 2 shows the length of this training typically needed once employed in an occupation.

Security guards, for example, typically need no more than 1 month of on-the-job experience and informal training. Hazardous materials removal workers are among those who may need up to 12 months of training. And firefighters and explosives workers usually develop their skills on the job for more than a year.

In some occupations, such as those in protective service, workers attend special training academies after being hired. Graduates from these training academies then receive additional on-the-job training at their own facility.

Other requirements

Like workers in other occupations, those in high-intensity jobs must meet a variety of additional requirements. To become an entry-level criminal investigator, for example, you typically need work experience as a police officer. And in many of these occupations, such as registered nurse, workers need a professional license.

Still other qualifications might include age requirements, U.S. citizenship, and a valid driver’s license, as well as passing a physical exam, drug screening, or background check.

Because of the unique rigors of these jobs, you may want to experience the work firsthand before pursuing a career. You might, for example, do a ride-along with an ambulance driver or shadow a fishing worker. Internships are also helpful.

In fact, there may be lots of ways to get a sense for what these workers do. Govan first became interested in emergency response work after his uncle gave him a police scanner, so he could listen in on the action. He became so intrigued, he asked to do a sit-along at a local 9-1-1 center, which confirmed his passion. “That’s what grasped me and got me addicted to the job,” he says.

For people who thrive on action, their attraction to these occupations may differ. But high-stakes careers often have at least one thing in common: The daily uncertainty offers a chance to develop as a person. “I still learn new things,” says Sharp.

“You can always keep growing.”

4 Tips to Take Financial Stress Out of the Holidays

By Rachel Cruze

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, which means holiday shopping is underway! If you’re a spender like me, your head is spinning with all the upcoming festivities. The holidays are such a magical time of year, but I think we can all agree they’re not-so-magical for our wallets.

It’s easy to lose sight of what matters during this special season and feel pressured to overspend. But it is possible to enjoy the holidays and not let them turn into a debt hangover in January. Here are a few ways you can save this holiday season and still enjoy your time:

MAKE A CHRISTMAS BUDGET Overspending is easy to do when you don’t make a plan for your money. We stressful—and more festive—if you create a budget ahead of time and plan for your purchases. I like using the EveryDollar app. You can list out all your Christmas expenses, including the gifts you want to buy for people, and track your budget on the go!

SET EXPECTATIONS EARLY WITH YOUR KIDS Discontentment happens when kids expect the whole toy store under the tree and only receive three or four gifts. Make sure their expectations are realistic long before Christmas morning. If a new bike’s not in the budget, let them know.

MAKE A LIST AND CHECK IT TWICE Who doesn’t love giving gifts to their loved ones? It’s so much fun, but those expenses can add up. Make a list of everyone you want to buy for and assign a dollar amount to each person. And stick to it! If you can’t afford to buy a gift for someone, there are lots of free holiday activities to enjoy together. Spend some quality time with them instead. I promise you, they will appreciate that just as much, if not more!

REMEMBER WHAT THE HOLIDAYS ARE ABOUT There is a lot of pressure around the holidays. But don’t lose sight of what really matters this season, and that is spending time with the people you

“ There is a lot of

pressure around the holidays. But don’t lose sight of what really matters this season, and that is spending time with the people you love.

“

know Christmas is on December 25th every year. Your Christmas will be less

love. Ten years from now it won’t matter who got what gift or what party you went to. What will matter most are the memories you create with the people closest to you.

I promise you, the holiday season will be much less stressful if you figure out how much you have to spend and set some boundaries! Come spring, when you start planning that family vacation, you’ll be thankful you aren’t still paying off Christmas debt. And if you want your holidays to be truly merry, focus on spending time with family and less on stuff!

GETTING READY FOR THE BABY STEPS Dear Dave, I like your plan, and I’m ready to get control of my finances. Should I catch up on past due bills before saving $1,000 for the beginner emergency fund you recommend in Baby Step 1?

Samantha Dear Samantha, This is a great question, because it gives me a chance to walk you all the way through the Baby Steps plan.

Make sure your necessities are taken care of first. I’m talking about food, clothing, shelter, transportation, and utilities. Then, get current on anything you owe or make payment arrangements for your past due bills. Once you have these things taken care of, it’s time to take your first Baby Step.

You’ve already mentioned getting $1,000 in the bank for a starter emergency fund. That’s Baby Step 1. After that, begin your debt snowball. That’s Baby Step 2, and here you’ll pay off all your debts from smallest to largest, except for your home. Attack the first balance on your list by paying as much as you can each month, while making minimum payments on your other debts. When you’ve paid off the first one, add what you were paying on it to the payment on your next debt and start attacking it. In Baby Step 3, you’ll save up and increase your emergency fund from $1,000 to a full three to six months of expenses. Trust me, you’ll be surprised how quickly you can save money when you’ve got all that debt out of the way!

Once you reach this point, it’s time to really start looking at the future.

In Baby Step 4 you start investing 15 percent of your income for retirement. College funding for any little ones is next in Baby Step 5, and Baby Step 6 is a big one—pay off your house early.

But Baby Step 7 is the real deal. When you’re able to build wealth and give with extreme generosity, you’ve reached the pinnacle of smart money management. Good luck, Samantha!

—Dave
