Casual Articles - Networking With People: Rule # 1
When it comes to civil engineering jobs, the first thing you need to do is consider the field you want to enter. There are many different sub-disciplines, however, the main aspect of getting any solid civil engineering jobs is that you have the appropriate experience and education.Typically, a college degree is necessary even to enter the field at an entry level position. A bachelor’s degree in mathematics, science, or engineering is almost always required. You will then need to gather the necessary work experience to become a licensed civil engineer. Four years is the minimum work experience requiremen
My experience working in a fast-food res
In the process of musing about our perennially awake world for my Social Psych blog, I started to think about our present work world and how its operations have changed the lives of millions of workers.I manage a 24/7 emergency crew (mental health). We handle callers from early evening until 7 AM, plus weekends and holidays. During the course of the night, we talk to hundreds of people from all walks of life. Until a few years ago (except for intermittent wartime production requirements), the people who worked through the night were limited to emergency services (police, fire, hospitals), the telephone
What happens when you work with someone who desires an outcome that opposes your own? At the very least, it can lead to frustration. If you go to a fast- food restaurant and you encounter an employee who desires only a paycheck, it is quite likely that the service you receive will be substandard. I am not suggesting for even a moment that employees should not seek a paycheck. In fact, my first job in high school was in the fast-food industry and I learned many valuable lessons. However, if an employee is focused only on a paycheck, then the only time he or she feels “successful” is payday. In the 1980’s when the minimum wage was only $3.50, the happiness of a restaurant paycheck was fleeting at best. Even though the wages have increased, the measure of happiness from a fast-food paycheck is just as temporary.

Old style management doesn't encourage personal mind control, employees aren't encouraged to think. That was certainly the case when I started work back in the bad old days however it's still prevalent in many businesses today.It's evident in many of the organisations that I work with that there's a culture of - "I'm the boss - I tell you what to do - you don't question it."The successful manager doesn't react that way, he or she employs people who think; people with a mind of their own who aren't afraid to say what they think and feel. You need people who question, who challenge you as a

Many home-based business opportunities promise that you will make a six-figure income without doing any work … just bring in three people and watch your money grow… become a millionaire in two years… We have all heard the promises. As jaded as we have become, we are still looking for a business that we can work from home. But we don’t want to have to stock product in our garages, have “home parties” or recruit our friends and families.One home-based business that is truly a profession is grant writing. In fact, grant writers have the best of both worlds. In the business community, they are seen

During the past few months, I have had the opportunity to talk with many women about pricing and valuing - both themselves and their businesses - when delivering two of my popular seminars: profitable pricing and negotiation. The ability to value yourself, coupled with strong negotiation skills, are critical in terms of determining your own worth and value, and the value which others place upon you.Society typically determines value through monetary measures - what you make in terms of salary if you work within the corporate realm, or revenue generated by your business if you are an entrepreneur. In a re

When it comes to personality profiling, the human development industry has countless tests and assessments from which to choose. These instruments may differ greatly on the surface - in the number and names of the archetypes each model advocates and the method through which a person's type is determined. But at their core, they are all attempting to accomplish the same objective: divide humanity into a manageable number of types and describe each type as a set of distinct and demonstrable characteristics. These "psychometric" instruments are designed to "measure the minds of respondents and provide them wit
My experience working in a fast-food restaurant was mostly pleasant. As a high school student, I had three goals that kept me engaged. The paycheck was only one goal. This goal directly benefited two entities – first FICA and then me. Secondly, I wanted to help the business. My diligence helped the company to be more productive and profitable. They liked me so much that I quickly became the only one allowed to take out the trash – at least it seemed that way. Finally, I had a goal to serve the customers. I truly believed in the golden rule. If my friends stopped by to eat, I would gladly give them more food than they purchased. After all, that’s what I would want them to do for me.
Even though I was slightly misguided, I was truly involved in mutually beneficial transactions. I have learned since the days of high school to grow beyond mutually beneficial deals. It was mutually beneficial to my friends and me to give away free food. I got the recognition I was seeking and they often returned the favor when I visited the restaurant on their shift.
