PROFESSIONAL and ETHICAL Behavior in the Workplace Sam Wheeler

Every profession encompasses certain standards of behavior that should be adhered to. This is termed as professional ethics and it usually includes honesty, integrity, confidentiality, accountability and loyalty.

Understanding the ethics of your workplace can boost your effectiveness and increase your worth as an employee. Here are guidelines on how to put your best foot forward at work:

Help Keep the Workplace Safe.

A company can benefit from having a safer workplace. It can avoid incurring additional costs for treatment of injured employees, higher insurance premiums and repair for damaged infrastructure. A healthy and safe

environment also improves the reputation of a company.

Companies enforce policies to ensure a safe work environment. You can help by reporting violations to these regulations. If you happen to witness a misconduct done by a fellow coworker, do not let it go unnoticed. Make sure to speak up if you notice that safety measures like fire extinguishers and smoke detectors are not properly maintained. It is your responsibility to keep yourself and others safe.

Professional and ethical behavior is as important as professional knowledge and competence in the field. Maintaining high ethical standards will help elevate your career to the next level. Those who are ready to sharpen their ethics can convey greater confidence, integrity, competence and professionalism.

If your resume is the cake, your cover letter is the icing.

Jane Anderson

Cover letter writing is almost as important a skill for a job seeker to learn as resume writing. The cover letter accompanies the resume at all times as the primary support document. Whether you use traditional mail, email, faxing, or another type of electronic submission, this should always be sent with the resume. There are, of course, other tools you’ll use when job seeking. Your cover letter and resume come first of course, followed by follow-up letters, thank-you letters for after the interview, references, and job acceptance letters. If you have good cover letter writing skills, and good resume writing skills, the other written tools should be a snap to compose.

Your goal in this is to get the attention of the hiring manager, just as it is with resume writing. The method and format are a little different however. Your resume will cover all, or most of your professional career, and will be from one to two pages. Your cover letter will be a very brief page serving as an introduction to the resume. Cover letter writing style must be direct, to the point, and able to grab the attention of the reader quickly, with a goal of making the reader want to read the attached resume.

Many people, when engaged in this type of writing, have a tendency to say too much. Good cover letter writing is short and punchy, and will take two or three key points from the resume and emphasize them. The old adage “tell them what you are going to tell them, tell them, and then tell them what you told them” holds true in both resume writing and cover letter writing.

As an example, let’s assume that you are a materials handling manager for a defense contractor, seeking another position. In your line of work the buzz words are MRP, lean manufacturing, ISO 9000, and cost savings. Your writing efforts should reflect these

Great work environment!

buzz words to show your value to your current employer and any future employers. Your resume will go into more detail about how you accomplished these goals. The cover letter will simply point out to the hiring manager that you accomplished them. An example of this would be two bulleted paragraphs in the body of the letter that say:

TELEPHONE

Experienced in quality assurance and quality control, MRP, ISO 9000, QS 9000, and Lean Manufacturing.

Demonstrated results in saving significant money for employers through cost savings, inventory level reductions, and on-time supplier delivery.

The hiring manager, according to many surveys, devotes only about fifteen seconds to each resume and cover letter he or she reviews. With that in mind your writing skills need to be top notch to get this person to look at your resume. Your resume writing skills need to be just as good to get the reader to want to grant you an interview. In turn, your interviewing skills need to be excellent to get the hiring manager to offer you the position. This long, and hopefully positive chain of events begins with good cover letter writing skills and ends with job satisfaction and a nice paycheck.

DIANA

Q: I don’t really want to get a new job right now because I am collecting unemployment while I go to school. When I finish my degree, I’ll have a lot more opportunities, and I don’t want to give that up for a minimum wage job right now. The problem is that I have to keep going on interviews that I don’t want to keep getting unemployment. I’m afraid that I’ll have to take a job soon. What can I do?

Houston, Texas Reader

A: Take a job. There have to be other ways to finance your degree without cheating the system and being unethical.

A: Congratulations! You worked hard and now you are at the brink of a whole new life for yourself. I actually understand why you want to stay at home for a few more months, and you should be able easily to explain it to your parents. (After all, you know them better than I do!!) You want to feel secure in your new company and with your new job before you venture out on your own. HOWEVER, you are going to have to pay to stay where you are now.

It might not be as much as you would pay for an apartment, but it has to be substantial enough that it hits you in the pocket. Ask your friends how much money they are paying for rent, utilities, furniture, and incidentals. When you are ready to leave the nest, you will be able to budget more accurately if you have this information.

3 years – she just hasn’t been getting a paycheck!!

You need to do a cost analysis that estimates child care, wardrobe, eating out, car expenses, and any costs that you can think would increase with this change. Then you need to estimate the return that she will get in social security payments and in retirement benefits by going back to work. Add those benefits to the salary that she will receive before you make any decisions. If she is in her 30’s and works until she is 66, she will bring in about $40,000 per year in retirement benefits alone. That can make a much more secure retirement for the two of you to enjoy. The hidden benefits of staying home as opposed to going back to work are different for every family. It sounds to me as if your wife really misses her job, and that has to be taken into Q: My wife hasn’t worked for 3 years since our consideration, too. daughter was born. She wants to go back to If you have any questions about interviewing, hiring, or teaching now, but I’m afraid that it will actually cost work, just email Ask Diana. I’d love to hear from you.

Due to the volume of response, not every question will us more than she can make. How can I figure out appear in the column, but most questions will receive how much it will cost for her to get a job? an email response within 2 to 3 days.

Q: I have been living with my parents while I am going to U of H – Clear Lake. I’ll be getting my degree next month and have already gotten an offer from a company here in Houston. I’ll be making enough money that I could move to an apartment, but I am a little afraid to do that yet. My parents are excited and have mentioned several times that they will help me move, but I want to stay put for a few months at least while I save some money. How do you think I should -Houston, Texas Reader negotiate this with them?

Difference in Debts

Car Debt

Dear Dave,

Dear Dave,

My wife and I are on Baby Step 3 of your plan. We’re also saving up to buy a car with cash. We’re about $3,000 away from our goal, but now my wife wants to go ahead and finance the rest. She has started wondering what the difference is in borrowing to buy a car and borrowing to buy a house.

My wife and I have just started getting on track with our money. We have $2,000 in savings, and the only debt we have is our house and two cars.

I work in the oil and gas industry and make about $180,000 a year, but things are pretty volatile right now. We’re upside down on both vehicles, and we owe $39,000 on one and about $48,000 on the other. Under the circumstances, should we go ahead and build a fully funded emergency fund or work on paying off the cars?

Lex Dear Lex,

This is a good question. It sounds like you guys Kendall have made good progress, but now one of you is running out of steam. That’s okay. Getting out of Dear Kendall, debt and staying out of debt can be a tough road.

Are you kidding me? Sell the cars, dude!

For one thing, cars go down in value. The second thing is I don’t like debt of any kind. I don’t really like borrowing for a house even, but I tolerate it as long as you use a 15-year, fixed rate mortgage with payments that are no more than a fourth of your take-home pay. I mean, it’s a much larger purchase.

You need to go to Kelly Blue Book’s website right now, and find out what your cars are really worth.

Then, put them on the market as a private sale.

You’ll get thousands more selling them that way than you will at a dealership. You’ll have to talk to a local credit union or bank for a small loan You can get a great car for $15,000 to $20,000 to cover the difference, plus a little bit more so dollars. Depending on where you live, a good home you guys can get a couple of little beaters to drive for a while. can cost you 10 times that or more.

Still, the best way to build wealth and have a highquality financial life is to not be in debt. You’re never going to win with money in the long term if you can’t learn to delay pleasure. That’s the bottom line.

Personal finance is about controlling the person you see when you look in the mirror.

But man, you’ve got close to $100,000 in car debt hanging over your heads. That’s a disaster!

I want you to take a moment and think about how things would be without these stinking car payments. Your lives would change completely!

Hopefully, you’ll be able to keep your job. But this car debt is the scariest thing I’ve heard in a Every one of us has that little four-year-old kid long time, even with your great income. Get rid inside, a little kid whose name is Immaturity, and he of those things now! or she wants what they want right now. What your wife is asking is a normal request, but it’s also a —Dave sign that we all have to address that little kid that’s inside us once in a while — and tell that kid no!

—Dave

3RD ANNUAL HOUSTON HACKATHON Tuesday, April 21, 2015

The City of Houston will host its third annual citywide Hackathon at the Houston Technology Center on May 16-17. The Hackathon promotes collaboration across government and technology communities, engages Houston’s citizen technologists to improve government and provides a platform for citizens to share innovative ideas with City decision makers. More than 200 software developers, data analysts and other civic-minded innovators developed creative and useful solutions to City and community issues at last year’s Hackathon.

“The Hackathon is a great way for Houstonians with technology skills to give back to the community,” said Jeff Reichman, one of the Hackathon organizers. “Our city is responsible for so many things. Whether you are interested in public health, animal control, libraries or potholes, there is a place for you at the Hackathon.”

The City and its nonprofit partner, Open Houston, an open data advocacy group, are engaging community members to brainstorm and program potential projects

and useful datasets for this third annual Hackathon. Budget Bootcamp, a visualization of the City’s budget, and Nuisance Tracker, a map that allows citizens to view code enforcement violations and the actions taken by the City to remediate, are useful tools that began as project ideas from past Hackathons.
