the YOUNGEST JibberJobber user Its all about relationships, right? Let me share with you two different, non-job-search ways that two different people are using JibberJobber to manage, keep track of and enhance their relationships. Hopefully by sharing this I help you get out of argh! Help me get a job right now mode and into I see the value of managing all relationships forever mode As promised in yesterdays post, today Ill tell you a little about my 8-year old Samantha. She loves to play with friends (of course) and every day asks who she can play with. She has about 10 or 15 friends that she can call, but the problem is she usually doesnt know where the phone numbers are. Putting her friends information into JibberJobber solves a few issues: We always know where the phone numbers are, and she can access them from either computer in our house. Phone numbers are always at her fingertips, If I need to take her to a friends house, I can click on Show on Map and get directions from my house to her friends, and She can print out her list, with addresses, and have a hard copy to keep somewhere (we have so far had very reliable internet access, but who knows!). I know this is a simple example of how to use JibberJobber but it works. It isnt related to her job search, but definitely related to her relationship management. I cant tell you how many times she has asked me for so-and-sos phone number! Now she can look it up herself, or I can pull it up for her (since Im usually online). Can she accomplish the same thing elsewhere? Sure. She uses Outlook Express for her e-mail. But if she is away from that computer, or someone else is on it, she cant get to those numbers. And if we are out of town visiting friends or family, they are completely inaccessible. Get it? Fast forward a few decades, my buddy Steve had the same issue where he was on a 10-day trip to California and needed some information luckily it was in his JibberJobber account and he was able to access it! Okay, one more non-job search example. As I go through some piles we have around our house I find little scraps of paper (sound familiar?) or envelopes with peoples addresses or other contact information. A lot of these are friends of my wife. So, I just go add a new network contact in her account, and make sure to tag it as Christmas. Why? Because then shell be able to go to the Get Contact List and export those names and addresses for Christmas cards based on the tags (coming soon). Sound insignificant or trivial? Well, she can export this list to a csv file, which can then be used to print labels with ease! Imagine, just a few steps each year and you have your Christmas card labels ready to go, that quick. By the way, networking experts recommend sending some kind of annual mailing to people in your network, it could be birthday cards, Christmas, or some other holiday. Everyone networks me, my 8 year old, my wife, and you. JibberJobber is a tool that helps you out. Like I said, Im sure there are other tools to do this type of stuff, Ive just wrapped it up into something that seems to make sense for the average joe job seeker (none of those other tools have a place to put in multipe me in 30 seconds), and am figuring out new things to do all the time to help you enhance intimate relationships! the YOUNGEST JibberJobber user Its all about relationships, right?

3 Ways to Stay Ridiculously Focused - Classy Career Girl

3 Ways to Stay Ridiculously Focused One thing that Im struggling lately is staying focused on my goals. Partially because my two cuties are really cute distractions and I love them very much. But like you, I have a lot of dreams. So today Im going to teach you three things that are going to help you stay ridiculously focused on your goals. If youve got a lot of distractions and a lot of things going on, but you still want to make your goals and dreams happen, then this topic is for you. Subscribe  on  your favorite platform below: iTunes Google Play Music Stitcher Radio TuneIn iHeartRadio Sound Cloud 3 Ways to Stay Ridiculously Focused Ready to dive in? This is what I want you to do to stay focused and reach those goals. Step 1: Create a list of daily habits So these might not have anything necessarily to do with your goals, but there are things that are going to help you stay focused.  So for me, I put together my list because right now its very hard for me to do just little things like reading or writing or exercising or even taking my vitamins. So these are the things that Ive written down on my daily habit sheet that I can check off. I have about 10 things that I try to do every day and I dont always get them all done. But, when I get them done I am in a better spot to reach my goals. Step 2: Identify your top three priorities every single week Every single Sunday I create my weekly plan and in that weekly plan, I write down what my top three priorities are for that week. We all have a million things that we could do that we should do….my to-do list is out of control right now. So thats why its really, really important for me to only focus on three things every week and other things that they might not get done. Other things might not get done, and that is okay.     Step 3: Unsubscribe, unfollow, and delete. So this is really important because right now theres so much noise online. Theres so many, there are so many people you probably think are your competitors. There are so many people posting daily. There are so many people in your inbox emailing you, right? Youve signed up for this and you signed up for that, and theres so much out there. So what I want to make sure that you do is you put those blinders on and you just focus on what youre here to do and your goals. There are a few different women I follow who inspire me, I feel good when I see their emails. They are people who uplift me and inspire me. You want to unfollow the people who make you feel jealous or make you feel like you need to be like them. I hope this helps you!

How to Handle the Heartbreak of a Close Colleague Leaving

How to Handle the Heartbreak of a Close Colleague Leaving Friendships at work are weird things. Theyre wonderful, but weird. You see your work friends  5 days a week for hours on end. Day in, day out, week after week, month after month, year after year. Your working day is bookended with their cheery hello  and goodbye. Each Friday you run eachother  through your weekend itinerary, and then  Monday is spent  mutually  moaning about it  being over. Mondayitis much? Yes. And it doesnt stop there. You and your work friends  will go to lunch together regularly, sit in long and boring management meetings together, chatter at work events, make coffees and teas for one another and support each other through stressful periods. Youll likely get to know a fair bit about their personal lives too; their partner; their kids; career aspirations and holiday plans. Youll quickly notice subtle changes  in their mood,  hair, weight, wardrobe, energy levels, motivation and performance. Yes, theyll  keep tabs on you, too. It goes even deeper than that. They are often the only ones who really understand your day-to-day  pressures; after all,  they share the same boss and internal frustrations. They are often your sounding boards and pillars of strength when it comes to staying motivated.  You even  watch TV series in synch so you can talk about it the next day. Everything is great and then all of a sudden, just like that, one  tells you theyve got a new job. Theyve just resigned, and thats it. They leave. No more Greys Anatomy gossip, no more work best friend.  How on earth are you supposed to move forward  from something  like this? Heres  what you have to do to get through: Be positive and congratulatory It shouldnt feel personal, but often it does. Youre allowed to feel upset, but you need to be positive for your colleague. Moving jobs can be a hugely stressful and emotional process, but the decision to resign is a big thing, and so its important to be happy and excited for them. Its likely that your colleague has been offered more money, a promotion or a role theyve wanted for a long time. Even if you feel theyre making a huge mistake, or cant help but worry about the repercussions of them leaving, its important to stay professional and not let your emotions get in the way of congratulating them. Take a break to collect your thoughts Im not suggesting doing a Houdini as soon as they tell you their news, but once the excitement of the announcement has died down, take yourself out for quick coffee or  a walk in the fresh air. Try to work through what this means logically its not the end of the world. Will it really  mean more work for you? If it does, know that it will be short-lived until a replacement is found. Will you be alone and bored all day? Maybe for a bit, but only until you make new friends.  Youll be okay. Start the handover process early Theres nothing worse than having to deal with something you really  arent across nor  informed about.  If youre the one who will have to look after their work when they leave, do an in-depth handover with them so youre not left in the lurch when they go. Failing to do this might make you resent them once their gone, which will undo so much great friendship. In depth handovers will  also help  you view their departure in a professional mindset, getting straight down to business. Reflect  on your own career Are you sad because theyre going, or because you have to stay? Your work friends shouldnt be the only things keeping you in your current job. Sometimes it takes a good colleague to leave, for you to realise that you wish that was you, and that indeed you should be next. On the flip-side, are you actually ready to step up now; perhaps take on more responsibility internally? Does them leaving present a great opportunity  for you to shine?  Use your colleagues departure  as positive inspiration to move forward in your own career in some way. Widen your internal network When one door closes, another one opens. Try not to wallow in self-pity when your work mate leaves instead, introduce yourself to new people within your company. Start going to after-work drinks again, or get involved with the companys charity  initiatives. Put yourself out there so you can find new friends. If youre feeling quite alone in the absence of your work friend, try talking to your boss about it. Maybe you actually need to make some new hires. Or maybe you can have some input into the hiring of their replacement? Avoid gossiping When people leave a workplace, often others feel the need to talk about it. Its only natural, and when youre in a big company, sometime people embellish things and create drama by repeating non-confirmed rumours or speculating about why they really left. Sometimes its like the floodgates open and people feel the need to bring up that persons history, analysing their work basically pulling them apart. Dont get involved. Stay loyal and stay positive. After all, theyre not even there to defend themselves. Listen to music Music has the ability to lift even the lowest of spirits. When your colleague leaves, it might feel particularly quiet. Without them next to you, talking to you and bouncing ideas off you, you might feel a little blue and anxious. Why not  try  popping your headphones in for a few hours to fill the silence? Perhaps just avoid James Blunt songs (particularly Goodbye My Lover, and its best to save Adeles Someone Like You  for another time as well). Book in a farewell lunch and keep in touch Dont forget to keep in touch with your colleague it doesnt have to be the end. You might even find you become better friends when you remove work from the equation. Book in a farewell lunch so you can have one last fun memory with them at work, and make sure you make the effort to check in with them when they start their new role. As they say, absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Four Steps to Maximising Your Job and Career Prospects

Four Steps to Maximising Your Job and Career Prospects The term its a jungle out there seems never to have been more applicable. Graduate recruitment experts High Fliers released figures in 2013 that show there are still 10% fewer positions made available to graduates than in pre-recession years, yet the number of applicants for these roles has risen by 7% since 2012. So with demand for jobs from educated individuals increasing, but sufficient career prospects still dwindling, it is essential that you maximise your career prospects and that you start doing it now. Whether you are still studying, recently graduated or navigating the world of work, there are a number of things that you can do to prepare and promote yourself. Step 1 â€" You Are a Brand You need to start thinking of yourself in these powerful terms: as something that needs to be marketed. This doesnt come naturally to most of us but ultimately its about building your self-confidence. If you are studying then youre going to be surrounded by opportunities to join societies and to start contributing ideas and opinions to large groups of people. Stepping out of your comfort zone is a fantastic way to test your abilities. Start observing yourself to see how you react in challenging environments to locate your strengths and weaknesses. Jot down your attributes and start thinking about situations where theyve come into play. This is great for interview and application material and all-round self-awareness. Step 2 â€" Make the Coffee Work experience is infinitely valuable. From the start you are beginning the process of focussing on a career path, just by targeting a sector for volunteer work. The sooner you can start to whittle away at the mass of possibilities the better. By exposing yourself to the pace and pressure of specific jobs, youll get a better understanding of the reality of your chosen field. Skills such as communication and creativity are improved, all whilst making valuable contacts and increasing your employability. Step 3 â€" Digitalise to Maximise Your online presence has become just as important as your presence in the real world. Its all very well having an enviable CV printed on expensive paper, but if no one can see it youre selling yourself short. You can cast the widest net by creating an online portfolio. This goes beyond LinkedIn because you can start to showcase your creativity and experience. Its a continuation of the personal brand â€" making yourself visible and desirable to employers in a uniquely memorable way. Step 4 â€" The Social Network This is about getting engaged â€" but not in the traditional sense. Connecting online with brands and businesses in your chosen sector shows that youre savvy and passionate. Its fundamental that you treat this kind of connection as professional. Its not about sharing reams of regurgitated information but commenting intelligently on blogs, responding to relevant tweets, making contact with other employees in the field and keeping up to date with industry news. This is a great way to start building those all-important contacts too.

This is a group of people who are developing the commitment, understanding, and a network of relationships to create or transform systems that they may come to serve Life, and operate in life-affirming ways. Their advice on creating that change is pretty cool: [ Be yourself ] What are your values, your talents, your purpose? Find [ what really matters ] to you, bringing meaning to your work. [ Start now ] Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. [ Engage with others ] Dont go it alone. [ Never stop asking questions ] Develop your ability to probe and wonder.
