Three Steps to a Better Career

2011-05-04T07:39:00.000-07:00

Escaping the Boss From Hell: Three Steps to a Better Career

Nearly everyone has suffered this at least once in his career—the boss who makes each workday a living terror. You can find the Boss from Hell in any industry or occupation. Even the best companies slip up from time to time, allowing bullies to rise through the employment food chain to management.

If a national survey were taken to find out the reasons people change jobs, by far the number one reason for job dissatisfaction would be bad management. As a career coach, surprisingly, I’ve found that increased earning potential usually ranks far below the desire to leave a mean, unreasonable boss. If you wake up each day dreading the next eight to ten hours, your problem might be your supervisor.

You’re working for the Boss From Hell if:

He (or she) bullies you and your coworkers with threats and temper tantrums.

His unpredictable moods keeps the office environment constantly tense and second-guessing his next move.

He sets unrealistic and unattainable goals.

You live in constant fear of being fired.

Fear and intimidation never motivate employees to excel. Tyrannical supervisors create an atmosphere of distrust and isolation. If you work for someone like this, your confidence is probably not what it used to be. In fact, you are probably second-guessing your decisions on the job constantly. As long as you work for management that rules by fear, you’ll never reach your career and earning potential.

There are three steps to escape the Boss From Hell and move on to a happier, healthier work place.

Gain perspective to think rationally about your career options.

Fear in the workplace tends to leave people thinking they have no better options than to stick it out. Such thinking is a result of loss of confidence and the inability to see beyond the present distress. One way to gain perspective and see new options is to spend some time browsing job postings. The right direction might be within another department or division of your current employer, but away from your current boss. Or it might be somewhere else altogether. If you keep an open mind, you’ll see that there are many options for you outside of your current job.

One way to get the most out of this career reconnaissance is to search for job postings based on skills rather than job titles. Do a job-skills self-analysis to identify the tasks and activities you enjoy performing on your job. Use those skills as your search terms at online job boards. You may be surprised to see that you qualify for positions you had not thought of before.

2. Take inventory of your career accomplishments and contributions.

In order to get moving toward a new position you’ll need to regain your confidence. Think about, and then write down, situations of where you:

Came up with an idea for saving time

Helped your team reach a production goal

Identified cost savings opportunities

Solved a customer problem leading to increased customer satisfaction

As you think back on your accomplishments, you’ll begin to realize the value you have added to your company. Remember, other employers have similar problems to solve. They are looking for candidates who have experience in handling difficult situations. The more specific the examples of your accomplishments are, the more marketable you will be in the job market.

3. Update your resume.

Once you have your accomplishments listed, use them to update your resume. Think of your resume as your initial marketing tool; it should announce to potential employers your ability to help them reach their bottom-line corporate goals. For example, your resume should appeal to potential employers’ desire to increase efficiency, cut costs and improve productivity. When employers see what you can do for them, they’re sure to be impressed.

Your resume should also have a clear career focus. Updating your resume doesn’t mean simply adding your current work history to your old resume format. Without a careful resume strategy, your resume will begin to resemble an old house with too many tacked on additions. Make sure your resume presents a cohesive, well-thought out, professional front.

Additionally, if your career has taken several interesting turns, you’ll want to adjust your resume toward your current focus. Take the time to refocus your resume on your current job search. Highlight the items from your career that are relevant, and minimize the things that are no longer relevant.

Once you have invested the time to gain perspective on your career options, take inventory of your accomplishments, and update your resume, you’ll be mentally and emotionally ready to seek other employment opportunities, either within or outside your current company. You don’t have to remain in an unhappy job. You do have choices. Take the steps to help yourself—you’ll be glad you did!

The Warning Signs of Career Disaster

2011-03-07T17:15:00.001-08:00

The Warning Signs of Career Disaster

Many of us have recurring dreams. Mine is that I’m driving down the freeway and can’t read the road signs until I’ve missed an important exit. Fortunately, it’s just a dream. But many people have trouble reading signs—not road signs, but career warning signs.

A career warning sign is any change that indicates possible career disaster. While warning signs may vary according to employment situations, there are three basic warning signs to look for.

Warning Sign #1: Sales are down in your company.
While not everyone in an organization is involved with sales, all jobs are affected by sales levels. When revenues decrease, profits are held steady by cutting costs, which often means cutting jobs. Protect yourself by paying attention to your company’s sales.

While not all employees are privy to sales numbers, there are ways of finding pertinent financial information. Public companies must publish financial statements. And employees of non-public companies can also read the signs of declining sales, like:
• Work load decline
• Boss suddenly concerned about small costs, like pens and copy paper
• Sales manager was fired or sales department reorganized

Alert employees are sensitive to such indicators. They keep their resume updated at all times and cultivate a growing professional network for potential future job leads.

Warning Sign #2: Management changes.
Any management change has the potential to damage your corporate position. Be watchful during:
• Mergers and acquisitions
• Successive short-term management (e.g., three bosses in two years)
• Retirement or replacement of senior management

Wise employees listen closely to new-management rhetoric. Is he making dramatic promises? Does he have a reputation as a job cutter? The first announcement of new management is the time to prepare your resume and cautiously explore outside options.

Warning Sign #3: You’ve lost favor with your boss.
While “gut feelings” are often the first warning, some objective indicators are:
• A less-than-exemplary performance review
• No performance-based salary increase
• Smaller than expected year-end bonus
• Your input is not requested at planning meetings
• Your suggestions are ignored
If you sense your position on the corporate totem pole is falling, trust your gut. When jobs are at stake, yours will be one of the first sacrificed. Prepare your new career plan .

These warning signs may seem obvious, but they are often ignored by those who fear change. Rather than take action, they lean on false hope that loyalty to the employer will pay off in the end.

Those who practice career management never confuse company loyalty with aversion to change. When career warning signs appear on the horizon, read the signs clearly so that you’re ready for the next exit with a strong resume, career plan, and interview skills .

Top Interview Secret: Know the Right Questions To Ask

2011-02-03T21:39:00.001-08:00

Top Interview Secret:
Know the Right Questions To Ask

Most interview preparation books are filled with sample questions that you’ll have to answer during an interview. While it’s certainly important to know how to answer tough interview questions, it’s equally important to know how to ASK questions in an interview. There are three good reasons to be prepared to ask great questions during interviews.

To uncover the interviewer’s hiring motives.
To demonstrate your interest and intelligence.
To uncover any unspoken concerns or “red flags.”

Let’s look at each of these points:

1. To uncover the interviewer’s hiring motives.

A big mistake candidates make going into a job interview is to assume that they know the hiring motives of the interviewer based solely on the job description. But the reality is that each person within an organization will have a slightly different idea of the perfect person for the job.

It’s up to you to find out the hiring motives of each person you interview within any one organization. Ask a simple question and you’ll know what your interviewer is looking for. Such as:

What do you see as the most significant challenges for this position?
What qualities do you look for to fill this position?

Then just listen closely. He/She will tell you just what you need to know in order to tailor your answers to his/her desires.

2. To demonstrate your interest and intelligence.

Nothing works better than a well thought out question to convince your interviewer of the sincerity and interest. Additionally, a good question is the simplest, yet most effective way of impressing them with your intelligence.

The main thing is that you want your question(s) to be specific to the organization you are interviewing with. Avoid generic questions such as “Where do you see your company going in five years?” The interviewer is going to realize you just asked the last five companies that same question. A more targeted and specific question will win you points in the interview, and may tip the scale in your favor when they’re discussing which candidate to hire.

To uncover any unspoken concerns or “red flags.”

Before you walk out of your interview, find out any concerns that may eliminate you as a candidate. This is your best chance to defend your candidacy. This is also your second chance to undo an interview error, or provide vital information. Ask a question something like:

“What concerns do you have that would prevent you from calling me back for the next interview?”

Spoken concerns can be answered with new information on how you’ve overcome challenges, learned new skills, or adjusted to new industries quickly. Remember, if you don’t ask, they will not tell you, and you’ll always wonder why they didn’t call you back.
When it comes to interviews, there is no such thing as over preparation. A resume will get your foot in the door, but the interview will seal the deal. Make sure you’re ready to win the job by asking the right interview questions.

growth and development of Hispanic entrepreneurs. The AZHCC, under a federal grant, operates the Arizona Minority Business Enterprise Center, as well as the Arizona Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Foundation.

President & CEO Role
The President & CEO must be an experienced leader, advocate, and proven manager, capable of assuming responsibility for the operations of the AZHCC office and the successful execution of the organization's mission. The office has an annual budget
of approximately $1 million and a staff of up to 6 full time employees.
In conjunction with the leaders of the AZHCC's membership and the Board of Directors, the President & CEO will develop and implement an aggressive strategic plan for achieving specific results in Arizona, nationwide and internationally and will engage in public policy activities to foster a positive business environment for the Hispanic business community. The President & CEO of AZHCC represents the Hispanic business community with all levels of government and significant business and advocacy organizations.

Duties & Responsibilities
Reporting to the Board of Directors, the President & CEO will be responsible for specific results, including the following:
· Ensure that the AZHCC day-to-day operations are managed efficiently and professionally.
· Develop a member-driven strategy that results in growth and retention of members.
· Develop a corporate culture that places membership needs first and strives for excellent customer service.
· Address financing responsibilities in the short-term and build a strong financial model by strengthening the organization's program development, fundraising
initiatives, membership growth, and increased corporate partnerships.
· Plan and develop media and public relations policies and strategies to promote the AZHCC's image by cultivating and expanding relations with members, funding sources, elected officials, public agencies, business enterprises, and the general public.
· Guide and represent the AZHCC's political/advocacy agenda at local, state and federal levels.

· Lead a strategic planning process that positions the AZHCC to effectively deal with emerging and changing business trends and needs.

President CEO will:

· Have strong communication skills; speak cogently and persuasively on behalf of the organization; command the respect of his/her audience.
· Have outstanding financial acumen and business/operations experience.

· Be able to attract, develop and retain excellent staff.

Personal Qualities

The successful candidate for President/CEO will:

· Have the ability to wield influence as a leader and spokesperson.
· Possess a passion for the AZHCC mission; serving the organization over
personal ambition.
· Be action-oriented, decisive and goal driven.
· Be mindful of the need for consultative process; be diplomatic; exhibit good listening skills; and be resilient in the face of challenge and adversity.
· Exhibit tolerance toward differences of opinion and personalities.
· Show respect for protocol, process and ethical standards in all aspects of life.

The focus of this job is making connections with people, motivating and inspiring them to achieve results. Possessing poise and an engaging, empathetic and enthusiastic communication style is the key to achieving the goals of this position.

The work involves driving toward results by enrolling the commitment and buy-in of the AZHCC staff, board of directors and others. While the job requires strong initiative and self-direction, results are only achieved with and through people. A sincere appreciation for people and how they are each uniquely motivated is the foundation for designing and implementing interactive communication and decision-making processes.

Also essential is the knowledge and skill in how to successfully influence and persuade others by understanding how their individual needs and motivations link to goals. The job requires a high degree of "selling", whether of ideas and policies within the organization, or products or services in the marketplace.

The job environment is fast paced and results oriented. While achieving measurable goals is imperative, the responsibility for achieving results must be shared and effectively delegated when necessary. Initiating projects and processes beyond established organization practices will often require training and developing others,
and enlisting their support by using a "selling" rather "telling" communication style.

A self-confident, extroverted style that can enliven, engage and positively impact individuals and groups is essential. The job has variety of tasks and is dynamic and changing. Because goals and desired results can quickly change, the job requires regularly meeting and pro-actively establishing relationships with new groups. The ability to quickly understand, react and motivate others to adapt to the
organization's changing environment is critical to success in this position.

In general, the core of this position requires a motivated and motivating team builder and organization developer.

Interested candidates should email a resume and cover letter as attachments to isauro.gonzalez@usbank.com in Word Document format by end of business day on July 9, 2010:

2009-04-29T16:28:00.000-07:00

Leadership: We Remember, We Recognize, We Believe
2009 AGUILA Leadership Symposium
June 25 – 27, 2009
Arizona State University at the West Campus

The Institute
AGUILA Youth Leadership Institute is a year round program that provides youth of Latino heritage with the necessary college knowledge to achieve their dreams of a college degree. Seminars are held once a month and students are required to attend and actively participate in all activities that will contribute to their college knowledge. Participation in the Institute comes with special privileges as well as access to a variety of resources, experiences and a network of professionals dedicated to assisting an Aguilita.

The Summer Leadership Symposium
The Symposium is held once a year at Arizona State University at the West Campus and provides an introductory experience for first time students who are committed to joining AGUILA for the year round program and continuing development for current Aguilitas. An Application for new students requires commitment to participate in the Symposium as well as the year round program. It is very important that each applicant carefully consider the commitment required to ensure success.

It takes a Village
We are determined to make this an even greater success in 2009 and have designed this Symposium to provide our students with an unforgettable experience – one that will help them to make connections in the development of a plan for college and most importantly, a plan for participating in a world that values their minds and their hearts. The Symposium will include opportunities for everyone. We ask you to consider volunteering in the following areas:

Latino Lider – This session is an interactive session that will kick-off the symposium and will bring professionals and leaders in our community together with our students that will allow our youth to envision their future through your experiences. This special session will begin the symposium on June 26th in the morning followed by a luncheon with students. If you are interested in participating as a Latino Lider contact us at info@aguilayouth.org. You will hear from Chair, Dr. Barbara Valencia-Ortega.

Major Fair – This unique fair will assist students in choosing their college major by providing them with a wealth of information in majors they have never imagined. This area is limited to College and University Representatives. This session follows the Latino Lider on June 26th. If you are interested in participating contact us at info@aguilayouth.org. You will hear from Chair, Cora Perez.

Mock Classes – Three 30 minute mock courses will allow students to move from one subject to another and receiving “a taste of college”. These courses will be drawn from the list of various majors so the sky is the limit! This area is limited to College and University Faculty. This event follows the Major Fair on June 26th. If you are interested in participating contact us at info@aguilayouth.org. You will hear from Symposium Director, Diane Rish.

College Fair – Following our very successful College Fair last year, this year will be no different. Colleges and Universities are invited to participate in a very intimate College Fair where students are prepared to seek specific information related to the information they have received. If you are interested in participating in this wonderful event contact us at info@aguilayouth.org. You will hear from Chair, Ron Venegas

Student Debate – A suggestion by AGUILA Students anxious to make their voices heard this event will bring students together in a debate format with interactive participation from the audience. Students will sign up for specific topics when they apply to the symposium and will have the option of contacting Debate Coaches to assist them in preparation. If you are interested in participating as a Debate Coach or Debate Judge, please contact us at info@aguilayouth.org. You will hear from Symposium Coordinator, Vincent Salazar.

Sessions - A call for Presenters:
STUDENTS
Finding your Voice -There has been very few times in history that one word has been able to mobilize so many people. As we welcome in new president we need to look at our lives in the next four years. Therefore, it's time we really ask ourselves what we are doing to have our voice heard, and how are we making sure that we are taking care of in this new era of politics? This session will focus on leadership and allow students to come together and develop a youth voice on issues facing our communities, such as Arizona’s Latino dropout rate, gang violence, teen pregnancy, substance abuse, internet and domestic violence.
Passion to Action - Find your passion and take action. Once you’ve done so you’ll be able to say I did what I could to improve the large societal problems we face as a community, nation and world. Learn how one person CAN make a difference!
PARENTS
Bridging the Multigenerational Divide - There is constant talk about how parents just don’t understand. Where did it all begin? The life experiences of our parents and elders are very different from our experiences—which has created a multigenerational divide between students, parents, tias, tios, and abuelitos. This session will look at this divide from various standpoints and how it affects familial relationships. The session will discuss how students and parents should approach this issue and turn it into a multigenerational advantage for our collective future.

If you have interest in presenting in a panel for any of these sessions, please contact us at info@aguilayouth.org. You will hear from Symposium Director, Diane Rish.

VOLUNTEERS
Our most valuable asset will be those individuals who choose to be a part of this historical event and volunteer their precious gift of time and energy to ensure that our youth receive the most out of the 2 nights/3 days they will spend together in planning their future. As a volunteer for the Symposium, your contribution is priceless. If you are interested there are many areas in which you can participate. If you are interested, please contact us at info@aguilayouth.org. You will hear from Symposium Director, Diane Rish.

DONATE
Our children are our future and if you have the opportunity to donate give-aways to place in their conference bags, food, snacks, paper, pens, pencils, note-pads, etc. and yes, even funding- $$$$ - (any amount is appreciated AND tax-deductible), please contact us at info@aguilayouth.org. You will hear from Board Members, Laura Quinones, Sophie Bejarano and/or Anna Salazar.

Student Participants:
• Students will be of high school age enrolled as sophomores, juniors or seniors attending an Arizona High School during the 2009-2010 school year of Latino heritage and /or have appreciation of Latino culture which forms the foundation of the curriculum.
