How to make millennial work with (rather than for) you - Introvert Whisperer

Introvert Whisperer / How to make millennial work with (rather than for) you - Introvert Whisperer How to make millennial work with (rather than for) you In modern times, work ethics are changing and moving towards a new dimension. Desperate time calls for desperate measures, but how much a company is willing to retain its workforce? The company needs to understand what ticks the positive and negative side of their employees, hence the millennials are always seen as outspoken, offensive at times and slouching against their workload…but that might not be the case here. Described as the generation born in the 1980s and 1990s, this Generation Y, the Millennial, has taken over the workforce especially in the translation industry.   A company is always looking for more input, more workforce with a better understanding of culture, tone etc. With an influx in industries, it has helped to boost morale as well as the employment rate of the country as well. The Modern Generation of Millennials Unfortunately, these baby boomers are highly misunderstood in todays organizational norms. What Generation X needs to understand is that this Young Generation was brought up in a completely different set of rules. Often seen as self-centered, their dreams, habits, working style is a lot different from their predecessors. Changing trends in culture and community has left a great influence on todays communicating resources. It is important to understand the new changes and adapt to them accordingly. Let us find out some intriguing ways to work with millennials No Centralization Please! First thing to remember, when hiring a millennial is that they detest the aristocracy in the working environment. It does not mean they are against the head figures, but they need space to work and rather be more creative. Turns out, it makes this young generation quite competitive when they are not strolled around with a leash. However, they still need a strong moral leader who can guide them in the right direction. Loyalty and Ambition Company loyalty has a whole lot of different meaning to the modern generation. It is not only the environment they work for, but also they want to create better opportunities for themselves. Hence, it is sufficient to say that the loyalty lies in good salary packages with a growth spurt in careers. Millennials also expect promotions. They see themselves to be leading in the hierarchy in the first five years of their job. Their ambition to grow and learn is strong. Likewise, the quest is never-ending for them until they achieve their goals. Have a Diversified Team Is your company’s policy partial to focus on a single focus group to work with? It is time to test new waters! Being flexible in your hiring is the baby step you need to take to retain millennials for a much longer anticipated time. It is not hard to find the person for a job but to find the Right one is the real challenge. Especially when any service agency has to hunt for a new prospect, they meet diverse ethnicities, hence the more diversified the team, and it means they have better chances of collaboration, resulting in surplus results. Moreover, for the record? Millennials tend to stay for a longer period with a diverse culture. Let them Experiment Do you people remember how Frankenstein was created, right? Even as a myth, it sparked a revolution for experimenting. Well, you do not need to create any more Frankenstein but you can let millennials experiment with their work habitat. Do not burden them with unnecessary rules and agenda, set goals not tasks for them. If you want, creativity and more output then be flexible in your work structure as well. An autonomous manner might not be as healthy these days as it was in the past. Therefore, it is better to give them enough space to learn and work. Target the Work-life Balance A traditional workplace sounds boring to these enthusiastic workers. Google has enamored its office with an open approach. It may sound as if it is a spoiled methodology, but frankly speaking, it enabled Google to increase productivity inside their working environment. The workplace needs to evolve concerning time. The friendlier the environment is, the more breathing space the millennials has resulting in fair levels of productivity. For a company, this is a perfect opportunity to make their translators more at ease. Millennials do not like getting bored at work. They want some leg and arm space to conduct some fun activities as well. They are career-oriented but will always look forward to creating a work-life balance.   They do not like to bring homework at home. A Fresh Idea to Begin With… To work with millennials (or any generation), you need to cope with the understanding of how they were brought up. Times are changing, and it will keep changing, so it is better to adopt the change rather than resisting it. Let Millennials be and See the Creativity Explode!   About the Author: Summra.  A  is  working  in  Human  Resource  Department  at,  a  Translation  Service  Agency,   CCJK  Technologies,  providing  translation  services  to  businesses.  She  also  has  experience  of managing   people  and  work  environment.

LSAT Tip of the Week Non-Conditional Questions

LSAT Tip of the Week Non-Conditional Questions LSAT Law School Blog A common question type you will see for a logic game in the logical reasoning section will be non-conditional questions. Non-conditional questions can be viewed as the opposite of conditional questions and no new information will be set forth. So how do you tackle this question type? Well, since there is no new information you will have to depend on the information you already have as well as the inferences and diagrams you have already made. The question will either ask you for something that (1) must be true or (2) must be false/could be true. The former is straightforward, and you just need to find the answer choice that is always true, a good hint is to look at the inferences you already made. The latter is a bit more complicated. Here, you will have to play a game of elimination. Most likely you will have to check each rule given and see which answer choice violates a rule. Remember this general rule of thumb to differentiate the two non-conditional questions and you will save t ime on your approach and analysis.

Big Four Accounting - Dallas (Post Undergraduate)

Big Four Accounting - Dallas (Post Undergraduate) Intro - Work Ethic For the past three and a half years (and even longer than that), I have been pushing myself to be the very best that I can be. I have taken the hardest accounting courses (Financial Reporting I, II, III, Tax Accounting, Cost Accounting, Audit and Assurance, Risk and Controls) in order to be prepared to be an auditor for one of the Big Four Accounting firms. The journey to be part of one of the four best accounting firms in the United States and the world has definitely been challenging. Below, I will explain the different components you will need to accomplish if you aim to become a successful accountant (or a successful graduate for that matter) and get hired by a great company. I. Networking through college To become a successful accountant, one must socialize with others and expand their networks. This was a bitter pill to swallow because I have always been very reserved and tended to lean heavily on my academic success to get me to where I needed to go in life. I despised people who utilized their networks and relied on their relationships to get them the jobs that they sought after. For me, hard work and technical savvy where the important elements of obtaining a job in the working world. However, over the course of my time in college, I have realized that this is not how the world works. Individual work no longer is adequate and now teamwork and collaboration are the elements of a successful company. Businesses are actively looking for individuals who can work well together with others. What this translates to is how well you can forge genuine relationships with others in order to achieve tasks for the company that you work for. Even as technical as accounting is, no one accountant can accomplish all of the complex tasks that are required for a company in regards to preparing and reviewing financial statements. Networking has led me to find some of my closest friends in the accounting world (picture of one of my accounting friends). Continuing to develop relationships through your time in high school, college, work, etc. will help you succeed in the long run. II. Selling Yourself Well Building relationships will supplement your success but will not be the main cause of it. There is another element that you will need in order to make it with the company that you desire. In college, I learned about the power of a resume and how this document can help or hinder your ability at landing your dream job. Recruiters and employers are looking at resumes all of the time. Often times, an excellent resume will be thrown in the trash can if they contain even one spelling error! Other times, resumes will be disregarded because they appear to be very bland and do not set the applicant apart. An important life lesson to learn early is this: Do everything that you can to be set yourself apart from your peers. If this means joining a club that lies outside of your social group or pursuing a hobby no one around you has ever done before, having interests that stand out make you look appealing to potential employers. Now, you may go off and do any number of different activities and that still may not get you the job that you want. In addition to making yourself stand out on your resume, you must also be effective at conveying what it is that makes you different from everyone else. Once you are genuinely participating in activities that are radically different from your peers, you can then go and tell others all the cool new things that you are a part of. My only caveat to this second point is this: Make sure that you are genuinely participating in organizations and activities that you are passionate about. Employers are quick to ask you who the president of your organization is and some of the key things you have done to contribute to the groups you are a part of. Don’t make the mistake of only being in an organization or participating in an activity just to put it down on your resume. Show passion and be actively involved in everything that you do! III. I (and one day you) made it! What happens now that you have that dream job and you’ve leveraged all your relationships and sold yourself well? Does that mean you will stop networking and stop participating in activities? Absolutely not! Now that I have my dream job and have made it to the accounting world, I do not intend on cutting short my ability to forge relationships with others and actively participating with the firm I am working with. There are opportunities within this company that I am working for (and potentially the company you will be working at) to continue to be actively involved. For me, I will continue to be mentoring students to pursue college and to better themselves academically. I will also continue to be involved with a public speaking organization called Toastmasters. As for networking, anytime we have a social event or a happy hour after office hours, I will be attending and socializing with other people. If you stick to the principles of building authentic relationships and making yourself unique to stand out, you will be much more likely at landing the dream job that you seek.

8 Resume Mistakes College Students Make

8 Resume Mistakes College Students Make via Pixabay 1. Typos and Grammatical Errors It’s completely unacceptable for misspelled words to be found in your resume. With dictionaries at the tips of our fingers and spell check, there is no reason that a word should be misspelled. This shows the hiring manager you are lazy and misleads them when you claim to be “detail oriented.” Before handing in a resume, ask two to three different people to look it over closely. A new set of eyes is better than one! 2. Length We get it, you may have a lot of stuff to put on your resume with all of your part-time jobs, extra curricular activities, and volunteer work. Rule of thumb is that your resume should be no longer than a page long, but no shorter than a page. It’s a little confusing, but almost everything about resume writing is. If you find that your resume runs onto two pages, make the font a little smaller and decrease the margins. You may have to take some details out and just leave your title and the company you worked for. via Pixabay 3. Format Now that you have your resume down to the length of one page, make sure the formatting is easy to read and does not look cluttered. There should be plenty of white space making it easy for the hiring manager to scan your resume and have an idea of your accomplishments in five seconds. Use bolded words for the most important information, such as companies you worked for and what position you held. Use indented bullet points to expand on your positions. Make sure to have headings for each section as well. via Pixabay 4. Focus on Accomplishments, Not Duties Contrary to popular belief, a resume is not an account of what you did while working at different jobs. You are not writing a job description. Instead, focus on the accomplishments you achieved while working in different positions. Be specific. If you won an award or were recognized for something, add it! If you grew a following on social media, add it! 5. High School Accomplishments Now that you are in college, most internships won’t care about what you did in high school. It’s cool that you were in the spring musicals as a background dancer, but that won’t get you the accounting internship. Don’t put down things that may have landed you a part-time job in high school. If you did something in high school that is transferrable to the position you are applying for and it is impressive, then you can put it on your resume. For example, if you were the team captain for the competitive mathematics team and won multiple competitions, then put it down if you are applying for a position in finance. 6. GPA This is one of the most controversial aspects of a resume for college students. Do you put your GPA since you’re in school? Some may say yes and some may say no. My rule of thumb is that if you have an extremely impressive GPA on top of extra curricular activities and part-time jobs, then put it. If it’s mediocre and doesn’t make people say “That’s great!” and mean it, don’t put it. Your boss probably won’t care about the grades you received in school. Working is much different than sitting in a classroom. via Pixabay 7. Being Vague Be specific about your accomplishments. Use numbers and things that are measurable. If you managed social media for an organization, put down how many followers you gained and in how many weeks. Add analytics and views each post received. If you write blog posts, specify how many times a week you write and how many words they typically are. 8. “One-Size-Fits-All” Resume You must cater your resume for each position you apply for. If you are applying for a marketing position, the hiring manager does not want to know that you used to be a line chef at a fancy restaurant. Your resume should express that you have experience in the field and that you can add value to their company. This may take some extra time, but it is worth it if it lands you an interview!
