4 Simple Rules to Make Your Resume Standout4 Simple Rules to Make Your Resume Standout4 Simple Rules to Make Your Resume StandoutIn order to be successful in your job search, people say you need to make your resume stand out from the rest of the people applying to the same position. This is really not as difficult as one might think. The hiring managers at can tell you many stories about the resumes weve received over the years for a variety of the positions weve posted. From our experience, just by practicing these four simple rules, your resume will easily stand out from your competitionSend your resume with a well-written deckblatt letter. Whether you send your resume by email, job board, or hand deliver it, a cover letter sets you apart from the crowd because it shows the hiring manager that you are truly interested because you have taken the extra time to write a cover letter.Although you should do your best to prevent spelling and grammatical errors, your resume does not have t o be perfect. Just make sure its well organized, relevant, and has the appropriate experience for the open position. Weve seen SO many resumes that dont even relate or demonstrate any of the skills we were looking for. Also, dont make it longer than two pages. You should only have relevant experience and education from the last 10 years. Hiring managers dont want to dig through pages to find what they are looking for.Hiring managers understand that people get fired, laid off, or take time off for family or medical reasons. You dont need to hide that gap in your experience section on your resume. Just be honest and upfront if/when asked.Once you submit your resume, you may not hear back from the hiring manager right away for a number of reasons. You can follow up once to make sure its received, but do not hound the hiring manager with emails or phone calls once theyve acknowledged receipt, unless they instruct you to do so. It could be something that moves your resume to the bottom o f the review pile.A little effort on your part can go a long way in making your resume stand out from the rest.

Best Online Dating Tips Applied to Job Search

Best Online Dating Tips Applied to Job SearchBest Online Dating Tips Applied to Job SearchJob searching is like dating. In both cases, you want to find a great match, so you put in the effort to find and then woo the object of your desire. Also, in both cases, technology has enabled greater ease in the matchmaking process. Online dating sites (such as match.com and eharmony.com) and professional social networking and job search sitesallow users to upload personal information that enables them to more efficiently find and connect with matches.Here are some online dating best practices that you can apply to your job search to enable a career love connection.1)Make your message short but compellingYour dating profile should leid be a complete narrative of your life from kindergarten until present. Its a teaser to get someone interested enough to reach out to learn more about you. Youre selective about which details you include. The same is true for a resume. Your resume should include m ajor accomplishments, responsibilities, accolades and relevant details to succinctly showcase your talents and drive a recruiter or hiring manager to contact you for more information. Keep your resume short, clear and concise, says Avni Shah, Simply Hireds recruiter.Shah advises, Do make the first page of your resume worthy of standing on its own and do use bullet points instead of paragraphs for ease in reading. Dont have a single misspelling or grammatical error, and dont use a funny or controversial email address.2)Keep your profile authentic. In other words dont lieWe all know that self-representation is susceptible to creative interpretation. Perhaps its a particularly flattering photograph or a couple of inches innocently added to ones height on an online profile. Or maybe its a small task that is exorbitantly portrayed on ones resume. While you should aim to present yourself in the best light, remember that in the spectrum spanning complete truths to outright lies, you want t o make sure that you are closer to the former than the latter. Getting caught in a lie, whether on a first date or during an interview, is not going to yield you much success.3)Stay open-mindedIts easy to make snap judgments about a prospect- whether its a job opportunity or a potential first date. You likely have a list of expectations. Its tempting to reject an vorkaufsrecht at initial glance depending on how it measures up to preconceived beliefs. However, learning things in person or upon greater investigation may change your perception. So keep an open mind, seek out meaningful and relevant details to aid in decision-making and dont eliminate an option until you have a strong reason to believe that its really not what you are looking for.4)Customize your profile to enable a perfect matchIf you want to foster a love connection, you should know what your potential partner is looking for and then make it absolutely clear that those are qualities or interests that you possess. If y ou want to find a companion who is an outdoors aficionado, you should list hiking and outdoor activities as your interests on your dating profile. Similarly, if an employer is looking for an SQL expert for an advertised role, this is something that you should includeon your resume. This, of course, assumes that you are an SQL expert. If you are not, then you should not list this skill on your resume and you should reread tip No. 2 in this article. The key to creating a great resume is really knowing your audience and tailoring it for the opportunity that you are pursuing, says Shah. You should make sure your resume is relevant to the job and has terminology that portrays you as a valuable contributor to the company.5)Check out your competitionIts handy to know how you compare to other candidates- be it in love or career- so dont be afraid to scope out the competition. Look at the profiles of people who might be up for the same roles to see how they have structured their profiles and the details theyve included. Critiquing other peoples profiles will help you develop judgment about how to best lokalitt your strengths and unique qualities and may provide ideas for improving your resume or online profile.A job search- just like a search for true love- can take time and can yield some interesting experiences along the way. But if you follow these tips and keep an eye out for opportunities to represent yourself as an optimal candidate, youre sure to find the perfect match.

A parasite found in cat poop is linked to entrepreneurs

A parasite found in cat poop is linked to entrepreneursA parasite found in cat poop is linked to entrepreneursIt takes a bold and sometimes reckless courage to leave the known world of an office job and abflug a business on your own. What pushes entrepreneurs to pursue this risky endeavor? Their drive may be linked to their mental fortitude, their financial capital, their lucky breaks, their dogged persistence. Or maybe the secret to overcoming your fear of failure is a parasite frequently found in cat litter.This is the wild connection a newProceedings of the Royal Society Bstudy linking entrepreneurship with epidemiology found. Stefanie Johnson, an associate professor of management at the University of Colorado, and her fellow researchers discovered that students who have been infected with the Toxoplasma gondii, a parasite found in cat feces and undercooked meat, were 1.4 times more likely to have majored in business than non-infected people.Among people attending entrepreneurship events, those who got infected with this brain-changing parasite were 1.8 times more likely to have started their own business.The parasite could be reducing a fear of failureChances are good that you will meet someone infected with this T. gondii parasite during your lifetime. It infects an estimated 2 billion people worldwide and has been linked to risk-taking behavior. More than 30 million men, women, and children in the U.S. carry theToxoplasmaparasite, but very few have symptoms because the immune system usually keeps the parasite from causing illness, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website reports.The parasite also has a correlational link to a lowered fear of failure, which may explain why more infected people become entrepreneurs. Countries that had a high rate of T. gondii also had a lower fraction of respondents who cited fear of failure as a factor preventing them from initiating a business-related enterprise.To be an entrepreneur, you have to be willing to take enough risks to get to the reward of your own business.Many of us do not change jobs, take tough assignments, or start our own ventures because we are afraid of failing, Johnson told Ladders. The fear of loss most often outweighs the benefits of gains that you could get because we are risk-averse. Maybe T. gondii removes that a little.Okay, this parasite could let down your guard and reduce your fear of failure, but before you start seeking it out, recognize that it also comes with many big downsides. The study reported thatToxoplasma has been linked to agreater risk of car accidents, mental illness, neuroticism, drug abuse and suicide.Is this finding going to start a rash of people purposefully infecting themselves? Hopefully not. People who would be willing to infect themselves are already risk-taking enough.If someone were risky enough to eat cat poop or ingest a parasite that causes brain dysfunction - they are risky enough and dont need T. gondii, Johnson said.

Your emotional culture is powerful? - you just need to listen

Your emotional culture is powerful? - you just need to listenYour emotional culture is powerful? - you just need to listenWeve never thought that you should have to come to work and assume a mask and look like youre a bunch of little lead soldiers stamped out of a mold. We give people license to be themselves. - Herb KelleherMost organizations expect people to check their emotions at the door. Others embrace emotions as long as they are positive - they dont want to hear anything negative.Regardless of growing praise for how emotions shape peoples performance at work, most organizations dont manage their emotional culture as intentionally as its intellectual counterpart.Emotions, both positive and negative, are a fundamental part of who we are - they express our basic intelligence and energy. Herb Kelleher, CEO of Southwest Airlines, taught us that you dont have to check your heart or your sense of humor at the office door.Ignoring or suppressing how your people feel is harmful. Su ccessful organizations integrate both their authentic emotional and cognitive cultures. Just like Kelleher did with Southwest Airlines.The emotional arena of workFor a long time, the dominant perspective has been that emotion is the opposite of rationality. - Prof. Myeong-Gu SeoEmotions lubricate collaboration - they facilitate social interactions.Stephen Fineman, in his book Understanding Emotion at Work, characterized organizations as emotional arenas - their intense emotions divide and bond their members.Frustration, passion, boredom, envy, fear, and guilt - among others - are deeply woven in the way roles are learned and played. They shape decisions, power plays, engagement, and collaboration.Sigal Barsade, professor of management at Wharton, warns organizations, Decades worth of research demonstrates the importance of organizational culture, yet most of it has focused on the cognitive component.We must integrate both the cognitive culture - the shared intellectual values, norms, artifacts, and assumptions - with the emotional culture - the shared affective values, norms, artifacts, and assumptions that govern which emotions people have and express at work and which ones they silence.Every organization has an emotional culture, even if its one of suppression. - Sigal BarsadeAccording to Fineman, organizations are often presented as rational enterprises. However, what seems like a comforting picture for the controlling managers, is bedrngnis necessarily true - we cant separate our calculative decisions from our intuition.Numerous studies show that emotions shape intent and behavior in conjunction with cognition. Humans make simultaneous cognitive and emotional appraisals of a situation - they are leid handled separately by the brain.Feelings and emotions lubricate, rather than impair, rationality, according to neuroscientist Antonio Damasio. They help us prioritize, ease dilemmas, and make choices. Chicken or pasta? - studies showed that people with damage in the part of the brain where emotions are generated couldnt make that simple decision.As Stephen Fineman wrote, Rationality is no longer the master process nor is emotion. They both interpenetrate they flow together in the same mold.Unfortunately, many executives still see soft and hard skills as antagonistic - we must integrate both rationality and emotion rather than idealizing one over the other.Our problem with negative emotionsOptimism has become almost a cult, according to social psychologist Aaron Sackett - pessimism comes with a deep stigma.Labeling people creates mora issues. When someone is identified as either positive or negative, or as emotionally intelligent or not, it divides rather than integrate the emotional culture.In most organizations, executives quickly learn to cultivate sunny emotions. Norms and research accentuate the benefits of encouraging positivity in the workplace. However, based on my research and consulting, this is an indication of te ams that have learned how to manage emotions effective, not that they are always positive.Sophie von Stumm has a piece of practical advice. The psychologist at Goldsmiths University, London spent many years researching the impact of mood and work. She recommends that, instead of worrying about low mood pulling us down, to focus on good mood as a cognitive performance booster.Unfortunately, the quest to attract top talent sometimes turns culture into a PR stunt - organizations prioritize projecting a perfect image over honesty.Authenticity eats a positive culture for breakfast.Both positive and negative emotions exist for a reason. Employees are sensors - they detect both problems and opportunities. Rather than dismissing negative emotions, understand what they are telling you about your leadership, team, or company.Being positive is accepting reality, not idealizing it - a positive outlook helps us acknowledge and integrate both positive and negative emotions.In this in-depth MIT article, Christine Pearson explains that, when it comes to managing negative emotions, most executives pressure employees to bottle their emotions. Or hand them off to HR.According to the leadership professors research, most managers simply dont know how to deal with negative emotions.Some blame it on their own bosses behaviors which force them to silence negative sentiments of their own and those of their team members.Many executives complain that dealing with negativity drains too much time and energy. Others worry that their intervention could make things worse. Many more report theyve had no training about umgang negative emotions neither effective role models.Not surprisingly, all respondents could name bosses who missed business opportunities or generated unnecessary costs by mismanaging emotions at work.It is impossible to block negative emotions from the workplace - no organization is immune to peoples highs and lows. However, most senior executives just want to listen to goods news, not to understand the reality of their teams.Our CEO doesnt want to hear anything negative. Not a word about dissatisfaction.Dr. Michael Parke says. When people are invested in their jobs, they can get upset or frustrated with things, but they should be able to share those emotions, so it doesnt stymie their work or creativity.Research suggests that the inhibition of our feelings shrinks the neurons that cause norepinephrine it leads to a toxic process in our brain. Negative emotions are a signal - silencing them wont make problems go away.Fake it until you burn outWhen the customer is king, employees become their servants. Forcing people to suppress their emotions is harmful to both employees and organizations. As Lucy Leonards, occupational therapist, explains, The continuous steuerung of their own emotional expression can result in a reduced sense of self-worth and feeling disconnected from others.Much work, especially face-to-face service (such as flight attendants, waitresses or secretaries) involves having to present the right emotional appearance to customers.Thats when Emotional labor kicks in at work. This term coined by sociologist Arlie Hochschild refers to how we regulate our emotions to create a publicly visible facial and bodily display within the workplace. This emotional labor sometimes requires feeling good about the client too.When the customer is king, managers dont care about their employees feelings - if something goes wrong, they blame their team, not the customer. The key lies in finding balance - neither your team, not the clients should be king.We must be aware of emotional dissonance - a negative feeling that develops when a particular emotion conflicts with ones identity.There are two specific types of emotional labor. Surface acting is when a person has to fake emotion - a tired flight attendant forces herself to smile and be friendly with a disrespectful passenger. Deep acting is about exhibiting emotions they have worked on feeling - its about empathizing and feeling sympathy.Faking emotions causes stress and burnout. The second approach may be healthier according to Barsade. Those who report regularly having to display emotions at work that conflict with their own feelings are more likely to experience emotional exhaustion.For example, most Walt Disney World onstage employees engage in surface acting, which, for many of them, leads to emotional exhaustion. To balance this, they turn their backstage time - when they are not dealing with customers - into a place to talk about anything, rant, and rave about the company. Employees feel the pressure to be so happy on-stage that to release that emotional burden, they turn the back-stage into a venting area - they vent their feelings by attacking the organization.Definitely the pressure to be always positive can backfire - being authentic is what matters the most.Authenticity has benefitsWorkplaces, where employees feel comfortable expressing their feelings, tend to be more productive, creative and innovative.Thats the key finding of studies by Myeong-Gu Seo and Michael Parke, professors at the University of Marylands School of Business and London School of Business, respectively.Their research focused on understanding organizational climate - the shared perception that people have of their workplace based on its processes, structure, and culture - and the emotional behaviors they engender. A big factor that determines this feel is employee affect - a term that encompasses moods and emotions.The researchers determined six different mood-based climates - ranging from workplaces that suppress positive, negative or any display of emotion, to those that welcome positive, negative or all authentic emotional experiences and expressions.Its true that sometimes emotions screw up, says Seo, but emotions are something to utilize, not to suppress or minimize, at work. If you look at Google, for example, and other good organiza tions out there, they actually foster and utilize emotion rather than killing it.Organizations that encourage people to be open and honest about their emotions perform better atCollaboration - establishing strong ties with colleaguesProductivity - the amount of work a team accomplishes when given a certain level of resourcesCreativity - the number of new and helpful ideas a team generatesReliability - the ability to avoid making mistakes or errors, particularly in high-pressure situationsOrganizations that tackle employees moods and feelings outperform those that ignore emotions or force people to suppress negative ones.The power of your emotional cultureEmotions are powerful but are not the solution - organizations must balance both their cognitive and emotional culture. Here are some ways to leverage the power of emotion I recommend based on my research and consulting.Move from fear to fearlessIf people are afraid of speaking up, not only they will filter their emotions but k eep their best ideas to themselves. Psychological safety is essential to encourage people to take interpersonal risks and create a fearless organization.Just listenAsk how people feel - be quick to listen and slow to advise. Listening meetings are a powerful tool to hear whats going on with your team directly. Dave Spence helped recover a mill after a months-long strike by simply What do you want to talk about? and then waited and just listened.Mindset check-inCreating a regular space - in recurring weekly meetings, for example - to let people share Whats got your attention? not only increases awareness of how people are feeling but helps people remove distractions and drive more focused meetings, as I explain here.Negative emotions are a signalInstead of suppressing or silencing them, listen to what negative emotions are telling you? Is a particular individual going through a rough time or are they a symptom of something thats affecting your team? For example, Change wears peopl e out - what looks like resistance could be exhaustion.Be yourself allow people to be themselvesDont expect people to share their emotions if you dont show yours first. Role model being human and vulnerable - leaders must balance their cognitive and emotional sides.Avoid labeling peopleEmotions and moods are fluid. Labeling people as negative or not emotionally intelligent is easy. However, sometimes, those who are considered problematic are just playing a role on behalf of the team - they address what everyone is thinking but no one is saying, as I wrote here.Beware with blind spotsPlaying the positive role all the time is exhausting - even the most optimistic people suffer from burnout. Seeing only the bright side not only makes them blind to their own kryptonite but can drain their energy. Everyone needs a moment to release their negative emotions.Monitor team moodMany companies, like United Way, use apps or buttons to track individual emotions. However, focusing on the colle ctive mood is more important. When someone is going through a rough patch if others are supporting or balancing negative emotions, the overall group wont suffer. Whatever tool you use, without psychological safety, dont expect people to be honest.Give people a breakAllow people to take a break from high levels of emotional regulation and acknowledge their true feelings. Organizations that let people take a break behind the scenes tend to fare better under pressure.Gustavo Razzetti is a change instigator that helps organizations lead positive change.

How to Handle Sick Leave Abuse in the Workplace

How to Handle Sick Leave Abuse in the WorkplaceHow to Handle Sick Leave Abuse in the WorkplaceDo you find that your employees are missing-in-action on a more frequent basis during the summer and during the holiday seasons? Studies show youre right. Unscheduled worker absences are increasing and, according to various surveys, governmental agencies have the largest number of absences. According to The Causes And Costs Of Absenteeism In The Workplace, a publication of workforce solution company Circadian, unscheduled absenteeism costs roughly $3,600 per year for each hourly worker and $2,650 each year for salaried employees. The costs can be attributed to many factors- some that you can solve- and some that you cant. The Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index surveyed 94,000 workers across 14 major occupations in the U.S. Of the 77 percent of workers who fit the surveys definition of having a chronic health condition (asthma, cancer, depression, diabetes, heart attack, high blood presaya, h igh cholesterol or obesity), the total annual costs related to schwefelyperit productivity totaled $84 billion. This cost does not include indirect costs such as overtime pay for other employees, hiring temps, missed deadlines, lost sales, sinking morale and lower productivity. Indirect costs can add up to 25 percent to the direct costs, according to Employee Benefit News and ????HR News. In a survey of eleven US-based telecommunications organizations, 72 cents of every dollar of costs related to employee absence stems from lost productivity, rather than hard costs, such as health care and disability benefits (Business Insurance July 2000). Sick Leave Is an Essential Employee Benefit- Even It Can Go Unused Sick leave is a necessary benefit for all employees. If an employer doesnt offer sick leave, they would accelerate health problems and the spread of illness, thereby lowering productivity and morale. Even when employers offer sick leave, employees often come into work sick. Th is action- known as presenteeism- can result when employees work in an organization where senior leaders and the culture dont support taking time off when sick. Despite the pressure for perfect attendance to improve customer service and efficiency, employees need equitable sick leave programs for security and overall high performance. Yet, some organizations suffer from sick leave abuse, and sick leave abuse translates into lost dollars. A Pattern of Sick Leave Abuse A pattern of abuse in regard to sick leave typically refers to employees who, over a period of time, have violated the organizations attendance policy on numerous occasions. In order to confidently discipline employees with attendance problems, legal experts say the best bet is to have a clearly written policy that specifies the organizations standards and employee requirements. Be sure to specify that discipline- including termination- may result from repeated sick leave abuse and misuse. Keep the policy flexible, since it is virtually impossible to list every single potential offense. You also want to retain the flexibility to deal with employee situations individually should the need arise. Examples of attendance policy violations include Number of absences, number of times coming in late, and the number of early departures, all of which exceed the attendance policy allotmentFailing to get permission for leaving early or coming in lateFailing to give advance notice of an absence when possibleFailing to report an absence properly andFailing to submit medical certification upon request. Determining if and why employees exploit leave policies is important. Just as an employer analyzes turnover, the organization should also look at sick leave abuse trends. Is leave usage higher in one department or under a particular supervisor? Are workplace practices or policies affecting absences? Do childrens illnesses lead to your employees time-off? Finding the root cause of sick leave abuse problems help s in addressing the core issues. Methods for monitoring sick leave abuse vary from one organization to the next, but there are some common guidelines all employers can follow. Listed below are some tips on how to manage sick leave abuse cases. Recognize the problem with sick leave abuse and intervene early before it escalates. Managers need to enforce sick leave policies and take appropriate action.Find out why the employee is abusing leave. Talk to employees who are abusing leave and see if their behavior stems from a personal problem. If you find that it does, recommend counseling or refer them to your organizations employee assistance program.Learn to say no. You shouldnt let employees get away with abusing leave policies. When you hear a ridiculous request to misuse leave, say no. Use procedures, regulations, practices, and knowledge to benefit management as well as the employee. Supervisors and managers must work with employees. Their main job is to make certain that all employ ees are aware of sick leave policies and how to use them.Document everything. Encourage Appropriate Use of Sick Leave When Employees Are Sick You dont just have to deal with sick leave abuse- you can encourage appropriate leave use, too. To encourage employees to use sick leave programs properly, many organizations use cash incentives or other benefits. The following are incentive statistics from the HR Center Personnel Program Inventory Survey, developed by the International Personnel Management Association. Of the 428 IPMA Agency Members who responded, the survey found the following 58 percent cash-out sick leave at retirement45 percent offer cash/pay for unused sick leave33 percent offer sick leave sharing/leave banks11 percent convert sick leave to vacation timeNine percent convert sick leave to insurance at retirementThree percent convert sick leave to disability insurance andTwo percent convert sick leave to wellness expenses. There are programs that can assist in addressi ng sick leave abuse. For example, IPMAs HR Center has developed two packets that offer important suggestions in helping to curb sick leave abuse and provide general tips on creating sound policies. The first packet- Sick Leave Abuse- covers policies and ideas on attendance bonus programs, sick leave incentives and annual recognition for minimal sick leave use. The second packet- Paid Time-Off Policies- provides sample policies and tips on developing PTO programs. These comprehensive leave packages combine sick leave, personal time, and vacation into one unileave. For employers, this can mean less fear of sick leave abuse and, for employees, it often means more flexibility and control. Many organizations have implemented sick leave incentive programs and policies to discourage absenteeism and reward employees who maintain excellent attendance records. For example, Broward County, Florida offers a Bonus Day, where eligible employees earn one day off for any sick time not used within a six-month period. Establish Sick Leave Incentive Programs Calvert County, Maryland offers an incentive bonus, the equivalent of one days pay, to any eligible full-time employee who is employed on the first workday in a pay year, and who uses two days or less of sick leave during a pay year. A note of caution employers considering the establishment of a sick leave incentive program should ensure that the program does not violate the Family and Medical Leave Act. Critics of sick leave incentive programs suggest that incentives try to bribe employees to act in certain ways, rather than make them want to exhibit the behaviors voluntarily. Another common objection is that such programs indirectly punish employees who have to be out of work legitimately. Parents of young children may resent the perceived favoritism bestowed upon their childless coworkers who dont need sick leave to care for sick children. Some critics also assert that attendance incentives send the wrong message abou t sick leave, which has become increasingly important in todays high-stress work environment. If the use of sick leave is made to look like the wrong behavior, employers risk encouraging employees to overwork themselves to the point of real illness. Employees who use sick leave legitimately may feel pressure to report to work even when they are seriously ill, which could result in significant health damage and increased health care costs down the line. The best way to create an incentive program is to, first, examine current policies and management style, and then try to develop ideas for averting and prohibiting abuse. For example, some employers have discovered, upon internal assessment, that the fewer supervisors an employee has, the less likely he or she will abuse sick leave. By investigation and attention to employee and management behaviors, organizations have a greater chance of developing a successful leave incentive program.

How Art Appraisers Give High or Low Values to Artwork

How Art Appraisers Give High or Low Values to ArtworkHow Art Appraisers Give High or Low Values to ArtworkPutting a price on species may not be an exact science, as the value of an artwork may be of a subjective nature, but there is a method on when to give art a high or a low value in the art appraisal report. Two fine art appraisal experts were asked for their professional advice. Be Accredited Fine art appraiser Mark Grove advises Would-be appraisers need to be aware that anytime that there is a tax consequence for the intended use of an appraisal report the IRS requires that the appraiser be an accredited member of a major appraisal society (AAA, ISA, ASA). Examine Providing a longer answer is fine art appraiser Mary Carpenter. She advises How to appraise an art object is a fairly open-ended question. But the main rule I follow is to examine the work with my own eyes, or in rare cases, rely on the opinion of an expert on that subject, such as a museum curator or a scholar . I personally am not a big fan of online appraisals. I only appraise those works which fall into my field of expertise. One learns very early on that it is much better to say I dont have the expertise, but I can refer you to someone who does, rather than to try to know every kind of art. No one can know everything. Take Notes As an art appraiser, I examine the work, take measurements, notes about condition, signature, any other physical traits, and then photograph the object. Looking at the back of two-dimensional works is as important as looking at the front since there are often gallery stickers or identifying features which are extremely useful. Read Any documentation about provenance, its purchase or any other relevant facts provided by the owner about the object are also extremely useful. IRS Review How I craft an individual appraisal report depends on its purpose. There is more documentation needed for any reports which are possibly to be reviewed by the IRS. High or Low Values? The values for Fair Market Value would tend to be lower than for an Insurance Replacement Value. But there are no hard and fast rules as to when to go high or low. It depends on the market of the individual bewegungsknstler and the purpose of the appraisal. Consider Appraisals Purpose The purpose is the primary consideration as to what approach to take. And even then, a certified appraiser can only reflect the market and not go artificially higher or lower to accommodate a certain end the client might request.

3 Ways Stress Is Crushing Your Job Search

3 Ways Stress Is Crushing Your Job Search3 Ways Stress Is Crushing Your Job SearchYou spend hours combing through job boards in search of those open positions that actually seem suitable. When you do find one? You start the agonizing process of tailoring your resume, hitting that submit button, and then waiting for any sort of news to arrive in your inbox.Oh, and all the while, you have the paralyzing fear of rejection and failure hanging over your head.Is your heart racing? I get it- job searching can be incredibly stressful. But, while youre mora than justified in getting some sweaty palms and some shaky knees during your hunt for a new gig, letting that stress overwhelm you can have some dire effects.Here are three different ways that stress is sabotaging your job search- as well as what you can do to kick your anxiety to the curb1. Stress destroys your focus.It takes some intense focus to tweak your resume, draft an impressive cover letter, and submit an application thats sure to grab the attention of that hiring manager.Unfortunately, stress can quickly get in the way of your ability to zone in on the task at hand. Researchers have found that our ability to focus and concentrate is directly correlated to how much emotional stress were under. So, if you let those frenzied feelings get too big, youll run the risk of letting something slip through the cracks- whether its a pesky typo in your resume or forgetting to swap out the company name at the top of your cover letter.2. Stress impedes your motivation.Job hunting is a lot of work. And, while a little bit of stress can serve to light a fire under you, too much can actually have the opposite effect. Studies show that excessive levels of stress can hinder your performance and decrease your motivation- which are important qualities to have when youre trying to ace your job search.3. Stress sends your mood into a nosedive.If theres one thing you likely already know about stress, its that it can have you feelin g gloomy in almost no time at all.Dont worry, its not just you- science backs this up. According to the Mayo Clinic, common effects of stress on your mood include irritability, anger, sadness, and depression. The last thing you need is to feel sour and mopey while writing that cover letter or corresponding with a hiring manager. So, keeping your stress at bay is crucial for presenting yourself as the engaged and enthusiastic job seeker that you are.How to Cope with Your Job Search StressWhat can you do to keep that inevitable stress from swooping in and destroying your entire job search? Put one (or all) of the following tactics to work for you.1. tischset attainable goals.Conquering a job search can often feel like standing at the bottom of a giant mountain and looking up. If you think of the process as a whole- every job, every resume, every interview- you can quickly feel overwhelmed and lost.This is why its helpful to break your job search up into smaller, more actionable goals. For example, maybe you want to apply for three jobs this weekend. Or, perhaps you want to have your LinkedIn profile brushed up by the end of the afternoon.By focusing on more bite-sized objectives, youll feel like youre making some actual progress- which can serve as your motivation to keep pushing forward with a cool, calm, and collected attitude.2. Practice positive thoughts.The concept of positive thinking might seem a little cheesy. But, rest assured, its undeniably effective when it comes to limiting your stress.This is another area that the Mayo Clinic has studied. Through its research, it found that reducing your negative self-talk (in other words, those nasty things that the little voice in your head likes to torture you with) can also reduce your stress. The study points out that this doesnt mean you need to be naive and ignore the negative things that happen. Instead, you just need to approach them in a more productive and positive way.3. Have a talk with an empathetic f riend.Bottling up your emotions can just cause you to stew on them even more. So, when youre feeling particularly stressed out, have a level-headed chat with an empathetic friend.The operative word there is level-headed. While positive venting can help you release some stress, the type of venting that involves yelling and flushed cheeks can actually increase your stress levels. Plus, calmly conversing with a friend about your concerns can help you gain some outside perspective on the situations that are frustrating you.When it comes to your job search, stress is pretty much inevitable. The bad news? If you let it get out of hand, your efforts could suffer. But, the good news? There are some simple and effective ways you can deal with it. Put behauptung tips to work, and youre sure to tackle your hunt for a new job with as few frantic feelings and chewed nails as possible.

Breakthrough Makes Graphene Easier to 3D Print

Breakthrough Makes Graphene Easier to 3D Print Breakthrough Makes Graphene Easier to 3D Print Breakthrough Makes Graphene Easier to 3D PrintGraphene is one of earths strongest materials. Because of its high electric and thermal conductivity, it is sought by a variety of industries, from aerospace to battery manufacturing. But printing objects with graphene is limited because it can only be printed in basic structures or in 2D sheets. That is now changing as researchers at Virginia Tech and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have developed a process to 3D print complex objects of graphene at a resolution much greater than before.The breakthrough will allow a designer to produce 3D topology made of interconnected graphene sheets, notes Xiaoyu Zheng, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering and director of the Advanced Manufacturing and Metamaterials Lab. In turn, that will lead to an optimization of strength, conductivity and weight density not previously achievable.Zoomed- in scanning electron microscope picture of a graphene octet-truss at a resolution of 10 micrometers. Image Virginia TechRegular graphene consists of a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycombed hexagonal pattern. When layered, it becomes graphite commonly used in lead pencils. But the layering also makes the substance brittle. Zhengs team solved that problem by separating the layers with air-filled pores, maintaining its original integrity.For You How Additive Manufacturing Will Transform the Supply ChainThe result is something called graphene aerogels, porous graphene structures fitted with air-filled pores, and they provide better mechanical properties. Ryan Hensleigh, a macromolecular science and engineering Ph.D. student, began working with Zheng on the project three years ago when he interned at Lawrence Livermore under Zheng. When Zheng moved to Virginia Tech, so did Hensleigh.Its a pretty significant breakthrough, Hensleigh says. When we started, we didnt have a g reat idea about how to go about it.Pristine graphene is one of the stiffest materials ever measured, but graphene foams experience such massive degradation in mechanical properties that they are worse than polymer foams at low densities, notes Hensleigh and other authors of a paper explaining the technique published in the journal Material Horizons. 3D-printed mechanical metamaterials have shown the unprecedented ability to alleviate such degradation, but all current graphene foam 3D printing techniques are unable to produce such complex metamaterial architectures due to insufficient resolution and toolpath limitations.When work on the project began, graphene was generally printed through an extruder that produced log pile structures. The type of structures created are limited because resolution is limited, along with kooperation. They just simply could not support their own weight, Hensleigh says.The breakthrough allows graphene to be designed into any shape with a very high resolu tion. The new technique is compatible with a desktop SLA printer and achieves an order-of-magnitude finer resolution and far more intricate structures than any previous method, according to the paper. This technique opens new possibilities not only to enhance graphene foam mechanical properties, but to explore complex architectures and mesoscale effects for other graphene applications including energy storage and conversion, gestaffelte anordnungs, and catalysis, the authors wrote.We really did this through trial and error, Hensleigh says.He began by working with graphene oxide, a precursor to graphene, and crosslinked sheets of the material to form a foam, or hydrogel. Then he broke that into small pieces with ultrasound and added light-sensitive acrylate polymers. The graphene oxide became trapped within the rigid chains of the polymer, allowing a solid 3D structure to be created through projection micro-stereolithography.The structures polymers were then burned off in a furnace, fusing the object together and producing a pure, lightweight aerogel. Using this technique, designers can print an object to 10 microns in resolution compared to others that print to 100 microns, Hensleigh says. Ten-micron resolution approaches the actual size of graphene sheets.It now takes a week to two weeks to make the material, but the actual printing is finished within two hours. Remember, the parts are pretty small, a few millimeters on each side, he says.More work is needed before printing graphene at home becomes feasible but the researchers are excited about the possibilities. The high-resolution, intricate structures not only allow the fabrication of arbitrary form factors for a plethora of applications but can improve graphene foam properties at increasingly low densities, according to the paper. Micro-architected graphenes essentially unlimited design space, high surface area and electrical conductivity paves the way for exploring mesoscale architectures for advanced 3D graphene applications including catalysis and separation platforms, tunable thermal conductivity, and fluid flow among others, the authors wrote.Theres a lot of interest in ultra-low thermally conductive material, and even bone tissue engineering, says Hensleigh, adding that he wants to pursue applications in battery electrodes.
