FRUSTRATED BY THE JOB SEARCH?

BY: ANGELA ROBERTS

In this day and age, it is easy to imagine that you are

invisible as you shoot off your resume into the unknown. However, your resume is part of your brand and you need to be careful of how you are branding yourself before you potentially hurt your career. I have compiled a list of top ways to appropriately sell your brand.

are on social media, on your resume, on job boards, blogs, etc. If you change your product from platform to platform, then you are not building a strong brand. Hiring managers review these different platforms as part of the interview process. If you are a chameleon, you will forget what you are selling, which will hurt your brand and your chances at that employment. Another element that you need to consider is to make sure you are

To begin, the first introduction that future employers have of you is your resume. Be consistent – if your resume falls into the same hands more than once, your resume will stand out as having been viewed before. Hiring managers go through hundreds of resumes a day so you need to stand out to make an impression. Other things to remember when creating your resume include the following:

The most important thing to remember is clarity. Hiring managers

need to tell at a glance if you have the skills that they are looking for. Have a short section at the top that hits your highlights and skills. You will want to bullet each sentence, wordy paragraphs are skimmed and do not register your skills with the hiring manager.

competitive in the salary that you are advertising. This is important whether too high or too low; too low and you are underselling your value, too high and you are overlooked. You need to know the price of your product. Glassdoor.com is a great place to investigate what your salary should be – you will just plug in your title and location to get the average salaries for your respective field. Lastly, if you do not have a LinkedIn profile, you must do this right away. This site is advertising your professional merits at no charge. Take care to build an error free, (especially grammar errors!), fully complete profile. Take care to ensure you are using the correct title for the industry you are looking to advance your career in. For example, if you are a CRA, (Clinical Research Associate), make sure this title is clear in your profile.

Keep the same font throughout your resume. The easiest

You’re a What?

QUANTUM COMPUTER RESEARCH SCIENTIST

Davide Venturelli

of projects but often focus on a specific goal. Davide focuses on finding new ways of applying quantum theory to improve how computers solve optimization problems—that is, problems for finding the best of all possible solutions. Digital computers, which are most common today, process information using variables with 1 value (either 0 or 1) at a time. Quantum computers can use both values simultaneously, which results in faster processing. “We know that quantum computers are more powerful than digital computers,” he says, “but we don’t know by how much yet.”

ter weather forecasts.

Research. In studying information technology, quantum computer research scientists think about possibilities. For example, Davide asks questions in his research such as, “What is the fastest possible way we can make computers process information?”

But relying on theory means that scientists work with incomplete information—so they’re sometimes surprised at the outcomes. “Experiments may result in the opposite of what you expect,” says Davide, “and you analyze the data to try to figure out why.”

Davide and other research scientists use their understanding of quantum theory to come up with solutions. Their research may lead to problemsolving computer processes that calculate and sort information much faster. For example, research scientists might develop a theoretical solution that can be run only on SEPTEMBERmay 16, 2016 36 scientists These be involved in a variety quantum computers designed to produce bet-

Other job duties. Research scientists may write articles about their findings for academic journals or devise ways to apply their research to advance their employer’s goals. Some research scientist have other responsibilities. For example, Davide also manages external research collaborations for NASA’s Quantum VOL. 21 ISSUE 1057 Artificial Intelligence Laboratory.

Imagine typing a very complex query into

your computer and having to wait more than a lifetime for results. Thanks to scientists like Davide Venturelli, supercomputers of the future could return those results in a fraction of a second. Davide is a quantum computer research scientist for the Universities Space Research Association. Quantum theory explains how matter acts at the tiniest levels; in applying it to computing, researchers study ways in which that behavior can advance processing power. “We explore how to control these quantum behaviors, to make them happen on demand, in order to crunch numbers and process information,” he says. “We’re pushing the boundaries of what is known in computer science.” What they do: Quantum computer research scientists help to solve problems. In their research, they make scientific assumptions based on quantum theory and then conduct experiments to test whether their solutions work.

Experiments. To test whether their theories work, quantum computer research scientists may conduct experiments or work with experimental physicists. For example, they may create a quantum environment with computer hardware, then test how particles in that environment react to different levels of laser intensity. Experiments that verify a theory may lead to improvements, such as more efficient computer design and faster, more secure communication for computer networks.


How to become one : To become a quantum computer research scientist, you usually need a doctoral degree (Ph.D.). But you need some qualities and skills in addition to the formal credential. Qualities and skills. As researchers, quantum computer research scientists should enjoy being part of a team and sharing their findings with others, which may include engineers, mathematicians, physicists, and Ph.D. students. This collaboration helps bring varied perspectives to solving a problem. “There’s a crossutilization of ideas when you work with different groups,” Davide says. “My colleagues are very smart and openminded people.” Like many scientists, quantum computer research scientists must have strong analytical, critical thinking, and reasoning skills to solve complex problems. Attention to detail is critical as scientists precisely record their theories and experiments, which must be reproducible and able to withstand peer review. Communication skills are also important. To share their research with collaborators or the public, quantum research scientists must be able to write papers and present their findings at conferences. They may also need to write proposals for grants to fund research projects. Education. Quantum computer research scientists usually need a Ph.D. to learn methods of discovery and to develop the tools needed for researching. Coursework in undergraduate and graduate degree programs typically includes computer science, mathematics, and physics.

You may decide to pursue a master’s degree with classes in quantum computing before entering a Ph.D. program. Davide studied physics at the bachelor’s and master’s levels, but he was passionate about computers, too. Not surprisingly, quantum computing piqued his interest. “It’s a wonderful interaction between the two disciplines,” he says. Davide earned his Ph.D. in nanophysics and numerical simulations of condensed matter. What to expect: The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) does not collect data specifically on quantum computer research scientists. Instead, BLS may count these workers among physicists, of which 15,650 were employed in May 2015. The median annual wage for physicists in colleges, universities, and professional schools—where most quantum computer research scientists are likely to work—was $63,840. That’s more than the median annual wage of $36,200 for all workers. Quantum computer research scientists work primarily indoors, in academic settings, and may travel frequently to attend seminars or conferences. Area of focus or project type may dictate specific details of their work. For example, testing particularly intricate theories may take days or months, working either independently or with other scientists. Whether alone or with colleagues, Davide enjoys his work for the independence his job offers. “You have lots of intellectual freedom. Nobody really tells you what to do,” he says. “It’s up to your skills and vision.” Domingo Angeles is an economist in the Office of Occupational Statistics and Employment Projections, BLS.

Dear Dave,

Wouldn’t it be cool to have all that paid for? Talk about cash flow!

My husband and I own three commercial buildings in Boise, Idaho, that are leased out long-term. We owe about $500,000 o n o n e a n d $ 4 0 0, 0 0 0 o n e a c h o f t h e o t h e r s , a n d t h e y e a r n $190,000. The only other debt we have is a small amount left on our mortgage. I know you don’t like debt, but is it okay to owe on commercial properties that are making good money? Dawn

Dear Dawn,

timeline, I’d develop a hardcore game plan to get rid of this debt.

—Dave

Split It with You Dear Dave My wife and I are debt-free except for a car and our house. The car is financed through her mom, and her dad agreed to send us half of the payment each month. We owe $7,700 on the car, and we have enough cash right now to pay off the car in full with plenty left over. Should we do this, even though her

on any of them. So, I can’t tell you that I think it’s okay to have debt on commercial buildings. I believe the best plan for building wealth is to become debt-free.

Dustin

Dear Dustin,

N o w, f r o m t h e s i t u a t i o n y o u ’ v e d e s c r i b e d , t h a t d o e s n ’ t necessarily mean you guys should be in panic mode and start selling everything in sight. But I do think that you should systematically work your way out from under these debts over the next few years.

If her father had agreed to send you guys $100 each month, ask him to continue doing that for the duration of the agreement. T h e n , y o u g u y s p a y o f f t h e c a r n o w w i t h y o u r c a s h . T h e r e ’s nothing dishonest about this, as long as you explain the plan to her parents and they’re agreeable.

If I were in your shoes, I’d go ahead and get the house paid off first. Then, I’d take a look at these commercial properties, and begin working the debt snowball on them. Start throwing as much money as you can at the smallest debt, while making minimum payments on the other two. When you get it paid off, roll that amount over — along with every dime you can dig up —and attack the second largest one. Follow these steps until you pay off all of your commercial properties. It might take up to 10 years in your case, because we’re talking about at least $1.3 million in debt. If you have a bunch of equity in one you don’t particularly like, you might consider selling it

38

SEPTEMBER 16, 2016

The reason for this approach is two-fold: it gets the debt paid off, and then you can get the car put in your name. Plus, a situation like this represents drama just looking for a place to happen, if it hasn’t already. Family relationships take on a weird vibe when money has been loaned and borrowed. If they’re not agreeable to the idea, that’s okay. All you can do is ask. But one way or another, I’d be out of this situation before the sun goes down!

STAYING ON THE UPSWING D U R I N G A D OW N T U R N BY: DEBBIE LOUSBERG

It’s a well-known fact that a positive attitude is a huge key to success, so when there’s a lot of talk about an “economic downturn”, a “pending recession”, “tough times ahead”, and general doom and gloom coming from many sources, I choose to beef up my positive outlook and keep moving forward. That’s what I suggest to anyone actively searching for a job, contemplating a career transition, or worrying about the security of their current position. Your attitude & the image you project is what people remember and that’s who they want to hire or keep on board when layoffs become necessary. The more positive, confident & eager you are, the more people want to be around you and hear what you have to say. We are bombarded by negative messages numerous times over in a single day – don’t you think someone with a positive outlook with good things to say & a smile on their face will stand out? Absolutely! Here’s how to make sure that “outstanding” person is you: 46

SEPTEMBER 16, 2016

Pump Up Your Enthusiasm: When HR professionals are asked what trait they most look for in candidates, they say Enthusiasm! Even someone with all the skills and background can be overshadowed by another with more enthusiasm and less qualifications. Show how much you want that job. Be interested and engaged; ask questions of the interviewer, especially, “what’s the next step in your decision process?” No matter if this is your first interview with your first choice company or your eleventh interview with the eleventh company on your list – keep showing your enthusiasm. It does pay off.

Show Your Value: At your current job, step up your involvement and present solutions and ideas that can cut costs or even create a low-cost revenue stream for the company. Take on new projects, if your workload permits, and offer to assist others with theirs. Show initiative by attending training classes to improve your skills and set your sights on the next position you want within the company and do the things needed to get there. Stay in constant contact with your boss and make sure s/he knows you are eager, ready and willing to do your part to help the company reach its goals. In the process, yours and your boss’s will be reached too.

Be a Model Employee: Now’s your chance to shine and set the example for others. It’s as simple as showing up on time, keeping your commitments, handling yourself professionally and maintaining that positive attitude through thick and thin. Be fully engaged – be present with your customers, your co-workers, and management. Participate VOL. 21 ISSUE 1057 in meetings by asking questions. Exhibit good manners, show


dignity and respect for others and the company. Stay away from gossip and complaining and follow that old tried and true rule “if you can’t say something nice, don’t say it.” You will feel good about yourself by doing what’s right and exude a new confidence.

Self Care: Make sure to take time off from job hunting and work-related activities to take care of yourself. Know what you need to do to avoid stress. Watch your commitment level and say “no” to activities and people that drain your energy. Exercise, sleep well, and eat right.Surround yourself with positive people, places and things. The company you keep, movies you watch, music you listen to, and books you read all can have a subtle yet profound effect on your attitude. Honor your feelings, stick to your values, and know that you can be of better service to others by taking care of you first.

Work Your Goals: Are your goals for this year right there in front of you or safely stashed in a drawer where no one can find them? Dust them off and review what’s been achieved so far. Pat yourself on the back, then get to work creating new ones. Whether you are currently employed or not yet, goals will keep you motivated and on track to moving yourself ahead to achieving them. Break each goal down into manageable action steps and assign a target due date for each of those steps. Apply the S-M-A-R-T formula to each one – make sure they are Specific, Measurable, Action-oriented, Realistic, and attached to a Timeline. It’s a proven fact that people with written goals and plans for their future are more successful. Join that group of people.

Track your Accomplishments: Make a point of documenting your achievements throughout each month in the form of “c-a-r” stories. Write out the Challenge you faced, the Actions you took, and the Results that occurred. This serves many purposes: you now have a record of what you’ve done (thereby increasing your self confidence), material for your resume, and documentation for your annual performance review to share with your boss. Use whatever system works for you – a computer document, a hand-written piece of paper taped to the wall, or notes on your daily calendar. Review it often, make VOL. about 21 ISSUE 1057 updates, and feel good how you’ve spent your time.

Be a strong Communicator: Constant communication about your ideas and activities will prove your commitment to your boss and colleagues. Let people know what you are doing and where you’ll be if they need you. Let your job prospects know of your genuine interest and the best ways to reach you for interviews by dropping them a personal note or email. Have impeccable follow-up. At the end of each day, ask yourself what activities need one more action toward closure. Be an excellent listener – stay attentive and listen to seek understanding, rather than thinking ahead to what you’ll say next. Staying positive is a real gift that benefits yourself and everyone you come into contact with. Make a point of practicing these tips daily so that you and out from the crowd and ensure your spot as a Valued Employee or Top Candidate for the job. Good luck with SEPTEMBER 16, 2016 47 your next career move!
