Employment gaps raise red flags, but they can be overcome

Employment gemeinsame agrarpolitiks raise red flags, but they can be overcomeEmployment gaps raise red flags, but they can be overcomeThroughout the course of a career, working professionals may experience brief or extended gaps of unemployment between positions. While hiring managers understand that these gaps can be caused by a variety of reasons such as illness, family situations, travel or the inability to find a new job they can be viewed as red flags. It may be inferred that applicants do not possess the proper work experience or that they were unable to maintain consistency in their careers.As a senior career counselor at University of Phoenix, students and alumni often ask me how to deal with employment gaps on their rsums when going through the application process. There are ways to work around unemployment periods that mucksmuschenstill prove to hiring managers that you were focused on your career growth, even when unemployed. I often share two key components of overcomin g employment gaps that may help effectively explain these situations filling the gap and explaining it during an interview.Follow Ladders on FlipboardFollow Ladders magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and moraIf you have employment gaps on your rsum or are anticipating a future gap, the first plan of action is to fill them with experience-generating activities that will further your career. One thing to consider when looking for an activity to fill a gap on your rsum is to pick something that will align with your past education and professional experience and also speak to the future trajectory of your career. At the same time, you do not want to get involved in something that will take up so much time that will leave you unable to effectively search for a long-term position.There are a number of activities to consider. The most important of which, I believe, is education. You should never stop learning and gaps provide an opportu nity to return to school or learn something new. Volunteering can also serve as a viable filler. There are countless worthwhile organizations that are in need of volunteers for professional functions.Freelance consulting is another option if you have a skill set that can be applied on a freelance basis. Even if you only have one client and work part-time, it should be enough to fill a gap. As an added benefit, freelance consulting usually offers the flexibility you need to go on interviews and attend networking meetings.Consider also reaching out to temporary agencies for work. It is often best if you can secure this type of position with an employer that you would consider as a long-term career option. If you are successful, it will give you the inside track on what departments to pursue, how to apply and which individuals you need to speak with to make long-term employment a possibility.If you happen to be out of a job for just a few months, you might eliminate months from the rsu m altogether and instead include just your years of employment in various positions. Obviously, this will work more effectively if you were employed for a full year or more. This strategy will detract attention from any time gap because it will not be as evident on your rsum. However, if you are required to fill out an online application with a chronological history of your previous employers, you would want to include the months on the application, as in many cases those are mandatory fields.While filling unemployment gaps displays your dedication to sharpening your skills and gaining the necessary experience, hiring managers will still often ask you to explain why gaps occurred in the first place. During the interview process, job seekers must come prepared to explain the employment history on their rsums. If you left the workforce to raise children, care for a family member, engage in self-care activities or pursue additional education, you should not be afraid to share this. How ever, it is essential to inform the employer that the situation was resolved and to emphasize (with enthusiasm) that you are ready to get back to work.Explaining unemployment gaps can be more difficult when it was the result of a layoff or termination. If you were laid off or fired, honesty is essential, despite the temptation to stretch the truth. If a layoff occurred because a company closed or a position was eliminated, most interviewing managers will understand that reality. However, if you were terminated, honesty is still the best policy, but you want to avoid speaking poorly of your previous organization or volunteering too much information. You can keep it simple by stating, It was not a good fit and sharing what you personally learned and could have done better. This will allow you to demonstrate your commitment to being the best employee you can be.After you have dealt with the reasons for leaving your last job, bring the conversation around to what you have been doing in the interim. Whether it is continuing your education, volunteer work, unpaid work, freelance work, or internships, each opportunity can be spun into a great story about the forward progression of your career. Furthermore, these types of career experiences can be included in the Professional Experience section of your rsum. Remember that these experiences count, even if they were unpaid.Above all else, remember that unemployment gaps can be essential to a happy, healthy career and can, at times, lead to better opportunities. Often times, these are necessities like raising a child or taking a mental health break or are aspects of your career journey, like returning to school to learn a new skill. Regardless of why an unemployment gap occurred, the important part is to be prepared to make the most of it by using the time to improve your life and career.Steven Starks is a Senior Career Counselor at University of Phoenix.

12 Ways Successful People Deal With Toxic People

12 Ways Successful People Deal With Toxic People12 Ways Successful People Deal With Toxic PeopleToxic people defy logic. Some are blissfully unaware of the negative impact that they have on those around them, and others seem to derive satisfaction from creating chaos and pushing other peoples buttons. Either way, they create unnecessary complexity, strife, and, worst of all, stress.Studies have long shown that stress can have a lasting, negative impact on the brain. Exposure to even a few days of stress compromises the effectiveness of neurons in the hippocampus- an important brain area responsible for reasoning and memory. Weeks of stress cause reversible damage to neuronal dendrites (the small arms that brain cells use to communicate with each other), and months of stress can permanently destroy neurons. Stress is a formidable threat to your success- when stress gets out of control, your brain and your performance suffer.Most sources of stress at work are easy to identify. If your nonprofit is working to land a grant that your organization needs to function, youre bound to feel stress and likely know how to manage it. Its the unexpected sources of stress, those that take you by surprise, that harm you the most.Recent research from the Department of Biological and Clinical Psychology at Friedrich Schiller University in Germany found that exposure to stimuli that cause strong negative emotions- the same kind of exposure you get when dealing with toxic people- caused subjects brains to have a massive stress response. Whether its their negativity, cruelty, the victim syndrome, or just plain craziness, toxic people drive your brain into a stressed-out state that should be avoided at all costs.The ability to manage your emotions and remain calm under pressure has a direct link to your performance. TalentSmart has conducted research with more than a million people, and weve found that 90% of top performers are skilled at managing their emotions in times of stress in order to remain calm and in control. One of their greatest gifts is the ability to neutralize toxic people. Top performers have well-honed coping strategies that they employ to keep toxic people at bay.To deal with toxic people effectively, you need an approach that enables you, across the board, to control what you can and eliminate what you cant. The important thing to remember is that you are in control of far more than you realize.While Ive run across numerous effective strategies that successful people employ when dealing with toxic people, what follows are 12 of the best.1. They Set Limits (Especially With Complainers)Complainers and negative people are bad news because they wallow in their problems and fail to focus on solutions. They want people to join their pity party so that they can feel better about themselves. People often feel pressure to listen to complainers because they dont want to be seen as callous or rude, but theres a fine line between lending a sympathetic e ar and getting sucked into a negative emotional spiral.You can avoid this only by umgebung limits and distancing yourself when necessary. Think of it this way If the complainer were smoking, would you sit there all afternoon inhaling the second-hand smoke? Youd distance yourself, and you should do the same with complainers. A great way to platzset limits is to ask complainers how they intend to fix the problem. They will either quiet down or redirect the conversation in a productive direction.2. They Dont Die in the FightSuccessful people know how important it is to live to fight another day, especially when your foe is a toxic individual. In conflict, unchecked emotion makes you dig your heels in and fight the kind of battle that can leave you severely damaged. When you read and respond to your emotions, youre able to choose your battles wisely and stand your ground only when the time is right.3. They Rise AboveToxic people drive you crazy because their behavior is so irrational. M ake no mistake about it- their behavior truly goes against reason. So why do you allow yourself to respond to them emotionally and get sucked into the mix?The more irrational and off-base someone is, the easier it should be for you to remove yourself from his or her traps. Quit trying to beat toxic people at their own game. Distance yourself from them emotionally and interact with them as if they were a science project (or you were their shrink, if you prefer the analogy). You dont need to respond to the emotional chaos, but only to the facts.4. They Stay Aware of Their EmotionsMaintaining an emotional distance requires awareness. You cant stop someone from pushing your buttons if you dont recognize when its happening. Sometimes youll find yourself in situations where youll need to regroup and choose the best way forward. This is fine and you shouldnt be afraid to buy yourself some time to do so.Think of it this way If a mentally unstable person approaches you on the street and tell s you hes John F. Kennedy, youre unlikely to set him straight. When you find yourself with a co-worker who is engaged in similarly derailed thinking, sometimes its best to just smile and nod. If youre going to have to straighten him out, its better to give yourself some time to plan the best way to go about it.5. They Establish BoundariesThis is the area where most people tend to sell themselves short. They feel like because they work or live with someone, they have no way to control the chaos. This couldnt be further from the truth. Once youve found your way to rise above a person, youll begin to find his or her behavior more predictable and easier to understand. This will equip you to think rationally about when and where you have to put up with toxic people and when you dont. For example, even if you work with someone closely on a project team, that doesnt mean that you need to have the same level of one-on-one interaction with this person that you have with other team members.Yo u can establish a boundary, but youll have to do so consciously and proactively. If you let things happen naturally, you are bound to find yourself constantly embroiled in difficult conversations. If you set boundaries and decide when and where youll engage a difficult person, you can control much of the chaos. The only trick is to stick to your guns and keep boundaries in place when the person tries to encroach upon them, which will inevitably happen.6. They Wont Let Anyone Limit Their JoyWhen your sense of pleasure and satisfaction are derived from the opinions of other people, you are no longer the master of your own happiness. When emotionally intelligent people feel good about something that theyve done, they wont let anyones opinions or snide remarks take that away from them.While its impossible to turn off your reactions to what others think of you, you dont have to compare yourself to others, and you can always take peoples opinions with a grain of salt. That way, no matter what toxic people are thinking or doing, your self-worth comes from within. Regardless of what people think of you at any particular moment, one thing is certain- youre never as good or as bad as they say you are.7. They Dont Focus on Problems- Only SolutionsWhere you focus your attention determines your emotional state. When you fixate on the problems youre facing, you create and prolong negative emotions and stress. When you focus on actions to better yourself and your circumstances, you create a sense of personal efficacy that produces positive emotions and reduces stress.When it comes to toxic people, fixating on how crazy and difficult they are gives them power over you. Quit thinking about how troubling your difficult person is, and focus instead on how youre going to go about handling him. This makes you more effective by putting you in control, and it will reduce the amount of stress you experience when interacting with him.8. They Dont ForgetEmotionally intelligent people a re quick to forgive, but that doesnt mean they forget. Forgiveness requires letting go of whats happened so that you can move on. It doesnt mean youll give a wrongdoer another chance. Successful people are unwilling to be bogged down unnecessarily by others mistakes, so they let them go quickly and are assertive in protecting themselves from future harm.9. They Squash Negative Self-talkSometimes you absorb the negativity of other people. Theres nothing wrong with feeling bad about how someone is treating you, but your self-talk (the thoughts you have about your feelings) can either intensify the negativity or help you move past it. Negative self-talk is unrealistic, unnecessary, and self-defeating. It sends you into a downward emotional spiral that is difficult to pull out of. You should avoid negative self-talk at all costs.10. They Limit Their Caffeine IntakeDrinking caffeine triggers the release of adrenaline. Adrenaline is the source of the fight-or-flight response, a survival m echanism that forces you to stand up and fight or run for the hills when faced with a threat. The fight-or-flight mechanism sidesteps rational thinking in favor of a faster response. This is great when a bear is chasing you, but not so great when youre surprised in the hallway by an angry co-worker.11. They Get Some SleepIve beaten this one to death over the years and cant say enough about the importance of sleep to increasing your emotional intelligence and managing your stress levels. When you sleep, your brain literally recharges, shuffling through the days memories and storing or discarding them (which causes dreams), so that you wake up alert and clear-headed. Your self-control, attention, and memory are all reduced when you dont get enough- or the right kind- of sleep. Sleep deprivation raises stress hormone levels on its own, even without a stressor present.A good nights sleep makes you more positive, creative, and proactive in your approach to toxic people, giving you the pe rspective you need to deal effectively with them.12. They Use Their Support SystemIts tempting, yet entirely ineffective, to attempt tackling everything by yourself. To deal with toxic people, you need to recognize the weaknesses in your approach to them. This means tapping into your support system to gain perspective on a challenging person. We all have someone at work and/or outside work who is on our team, rooting for us, and ready to help us make the best of a difficult situation. Identify these individuals in your life and make an effort to seek their insight and assistance when you need it. Something as simple as explaining the situation can lead to a new perspective. Most of the time, other people can see a solution that you cant, because they are not as emotionally invested in the situation.Bringing it All TogetherBefore you get this system to work brilliantly, youre going to have to pass some tests. Most of the time, you will find yourself tested by touchy interactions with problem people. Thankfully, the plasticity of the brain allows it to mold and change as you practice new behaviors, even when you fail. Implementing these healthy, stress-relieving techniques for dealing with difficult people will train your brain to handle stress more effectively and decrease the likelihood of ill effects.More From Inc.Sleep Deprivation Is Killing You and Your Career5 Brand Disasters That Will Happen in 2015Stop Doing Social Media WrongPhoto of toxic waste barrel courtesy of Shutterstock.

How Employee Stories Can Strengthen Your Work Culture

How Employee Stories Can Strengthen Your Work CultureHow Employee Stories Can Strengthen Your Work CultureHave you ever listened- really listened- to the stories that your employees tell in your workplace? Are they inspiring stories about the time the team worked hard and saved the customer? Are they inspiring stories about coworkers that created glory for the group? Do they talk about a constant conversation with customers that inspires the direction of product development, marketing, and the customer engagement teams? Do they celebrate the team that brought the project in under budget prior to the deadline? Or, are your work stories more about complaining? The indeterminate they didnt like my idea. They expected too much from me and failed to provide the tools and resources I needed to succeed. And, the perennially disempowering story about, they wouldnt let me, whether the story is true or not, puts the kibosh to many dreams of employees for autonomy and adding value. Do your empl oyee work stories describe the work culture you want to have for employees? Do Your Work Stories Describe the Organizational Culture You Want? Do your employees stories about work reinforce your desired work culture and tout the characteristics of your best employees? Or do the work stories present a picture of a work culture that you know will undermine both your organizations success and your employees success? The managers in a small manufacturing company were concerned that the employee stories they heard were strikingly different from what the organization wanted to hear. Rather than talking about their work mission of charitable contributions, after a near bankruptcy, the employees talked about bad hiring decisions, poor spending practices, and the organizations failure to prosecute employees who were stealing. The stories grew worse when bankruptcy welches averted and the manager promised that by the next year, everyone would be driving a red convertible. This was his way of saying that the company was doing much better. He thought his words would reasaya jittery employees. The story had the opposite effect. The employees became fearful about the future of any organization he was leading. They thought he was delusional. The power of that one story undermined any of the concurrent employee stories about their financial recovery, their mission of service, and their constant community volunteering.

What other employees tell you to expect and experience powerfully frames your own experience. New employees, especially, find that their thinking is imperceptibly influenced by the work stories. Without awareness, they develop patterns of behavior and respond based on the expectations formulated by the stories, oftentimes not by the reality. of what is really happening or that you want to happen. So, given that employees tell stories work stories affect and shape workplace culture, often imperceptibly and new employees are most influenced from day one by work stories that are inspiring- or not, whats an employer to do? Can you stem the tide of employee negativity and reinforce the inspiring components of the work stories your employees tell? Ensure That Your Work Stories Support Your Desired Work Environment You can.
