How to Get Out of Bed When You Hate Your Job

How to Get Out of Bed When You Hate Your JobHow to Get Out of Bed When You Hate Your JobEven if you have the best job on the planet, there will be days when you just cant bear to get out of bed to go to work. Fortunately, those days are probably few and far between, and a few recitations of Tomorrow will be better, is all youll need to get yourself to the office.But what happens when youre harboring a seething hatred for your employment situation? You already know tomorrow probably wont be any better, so how exactly do you talk yourself out of bed and into the shower for yet aleidher terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad day in the office?Well, as luck (or lack thereof) would have it, Ive managed to survive more than my fair share of horrible jobs. Heres how I did it.1.Get Up EarlyI know, I know. Getting up early to go to a job you despise is the exact opposite of what youll want to do, but I promise, it helps.During my darkest career days, I welches literally in the dark whenever I was home. It was dark when I got to work in the morning and dark by the time I left. Not exactly motivating. For a while, I made a habit of hitting the snooze button about three times before dragging myself into the shower, until I finally realized that wasnt helping me. My only other option was to get up early (or even just on time) and try to enjoy my morning as much as possible.I started gradually waking up just 15 minutes early at first, until I was up to a full hour. I filled that time with things I enjoyed, my only requirement being I wasnt allowed to do anything even remotely related to work. I made French-press coffee, fixed myself a nice breakfast, and read the news, every day. Some days, Id add in a bubble bath, and others I even squeezed in a short workout. This was me time, and I was going to enjoy it if it killed me.And guess what? It not only didnt kill me, it made getting out of bed something I could look forward to. By the time I had to start thinking about leaving t he house for work, Id already had a nice, relaxing morning, which took the sting out the fact Id be spending the next 10-12 hours in office hell a little easier to stomach.2.Make PlansWhen you loathe your job, chances are the first thing you want to do when youre off work is run home and crawl into your favorite pair of sweats and pour yourself a giant glass of wine (or warm milk, if thats your thing). That crappy job has sapped every last ounce of energy and zest for life right out of you, and the thought of spending even a moment out in public, let alone being social, is a terrifying thought. Sound familiar?Well, this is yet another case of how doing the opposite of what you want to do is actually better for you. When I was at my lowest with my lousy jobs, I tried to make as many plans with friends or doing activities I enjoyed as I could. When I couldnt make plans work during the week, Id make plans for the weekend. The point being, I always had something to look forward to, rath er than only something to dread- going to work.While I still had to get my work done while I was actually in the office, knowing I had a party to attend on Friday night or a lunch date with a friend Wednesday afternoon was enough to keep me going and gave me a reason not to call in sick every day of the week.3.Make a ListI cant say this enough- making lists can change your life. While Ive never considered myself a type A personality, I cant deny the benefits- especially if youre facing a job you loathe a minimum of 40 hours per week.When I first came to the realization I hated my job, many years ago, I was still early on in my career, and trying my best to establish myself. Which meant, even though I despised going to work every day, I still needed to make a positive impression.Thats when I started making lists. Really long, detailed lists. I put everything from sending emails to calling a client to getting my morning (and afternoon) coffee on those lists. Sometimes, if I was having a particularly bad day, Id even put things like Meet Jane for drinks at 6. If it had to be done that day, it went on the list, no matter how seemingly insignificant. Then, when I finished it, Id cross it off and move on to the next task. When the day was over, Id copy any items I hadnt finished on to a new list for the next day. Then, when I arrived in the office the following morning, I already had a list of things to get me moving.Making a list is a surprisingly simple- and effective- way to power through a challenging work environment. It not only gives you defined parameters of what will make up your day, but it has the added benefit of making you more productive in the process.While Im sure just rolling over and never showing your face in the office again may sound like a viable option on some days, trust me, its not. While looking for a new job is probably advisable, until youve found one, youll have to survive the one youve got. Employ these strategies, and not only will you r boss never suspect how much you loathe your job, you might actually forget every once in a while, tooPhoto of woman in bed courtesy of Shutterstock.

Internship Interview Questions to Ask

Internship Interview Questions to AskInternship Interview Questions to AskInternship Interview Questions to Ask DeZubeA good interview can be a lot like a good conversation. Thats especially true when youre hiring an in eigener sache. Why? Since youre not making a permanent hire, you can afford to be more relaxed.Most college students dont have on-the-job experiences to discuss. But when interviewing interns, you can always chat about the three things that are common to all studentsWhere they are nowWhere they hope to beHow the internship can help get them thereMore importantly, your interview should help you determine if the intern has the skills, knowledge and temperament required to succeed in your business.These interview questions can be helpful when hiring internsWhy did you choose to go to XYZ College? Tells you What type of environment the intern youre interviewing is comfortable in or learns well in, says Lisa Gavigan, director of career services at Wheaton College in Norton , Massachusetts. Someone whos at a smaller school prefers a relationship-based learning environment, she says.What do you want to do with your degree?Tells you How to structure the internship and whether the applicant is a cultural fit for your business. We like entrepreneurial-minded interns, says Everett OKeefe, CEO of The Solution Machine, a Fresno, California, marketing consulting firm. If the interns goal is to succeed in the corporate world and youre a smaller business, he or she would likely be better off at a larger company.Is this part of an official college program?Tells you If the candidate will have accountability. If a student isnt working for college credit, hes a volunteer, not an intern. He may not be as responsible as an intern who knows hes going to be evaluated at the end of the semester.What would make this internship successful for you? What are you looking to have learned by the time youve completed the internship?Tells you What the intern wants to get out of t he internship and whether youre recruiting the right intern. If a student tells you his ideal outcome is a permanent job, but you dont offer an internship leading to a hire, he needs to know the situation.Dont fret if the students answer is all about what he wants. Expect to hear answers that are a bit more self-serving than with a prospective employee, Gavigan says.What single quality attracted you to this organization (or position)? Tells you Whether youre interviewing a student whos done his homework or one whos applying in a shot-gun manner. If its a single quality, you can see what the students priority is, Gavigan says.What skills do you have that will help you in this internship and where did you get them?Tells you If the student can make the connection between learning and doing, then hes likely capable of seeing how his small project fits within the business. Its an indication hes the right intern to hire.Have you ever been part of a team where someone didnt pull his weight ? How did you deal with that?Tells you How he works with peers. The best answer is the one that shows the intern can manage the situation himself and isnt a tattletale I talked to the person and when they still didnt do the work, I picked up the slack and didnt partner with him again.Tell me about a time or situation when youve had to teach a concept to a peer or another person.Tells you If youd be hiring an intern with customer service skills. The best answers include patience, reading a peers level of understanding without judgment and addressing the learners needs at that moment.Are you happier with structure or with a more fluid environment? Do you enjoy doing a lot of different things or one thing really well?Tells you Whether the intern will be happy working in a small business environment where employees need to be flexible multi-taskers.When recruiting interns, look for entrepreneurship majors. Theyll be happier to join you because they want to see how a small business is ru n, says Debbie Young, director of internships and applied experiences at the Craig School of Business at California State University, Fresno.How well do you handle disorganization and does it bother you?Tells you Whether the intern can bounce from one project to the next without getting frustrated. The entrepreneurial mind has to have a certain level of ADD to see opportunities and jump on them, OKeefe says. You have to be able to set things aside and work on the immediate need.When the interns you hire have to use technology or software, ask them to rate their ability to use it on a scale of 1 to 10.Tells you If they have the skills you need. If someone rates themselves a 9 or 10, Ill follow up with a couple of questions to double-check them on that, OKeefe says.When you offer the job, you can ask the recruited intern to think about what he can contribute. Ask them to think of three projects they can accomplish a small one, a personal one and something that will benefit the organiz ation after theyve left, Gavigan says.And ask one final question when the internship is nearing its end Do you know anyone from your school whod want to do this internship next semester?

Think Slow and Other Tricks for Better Problem-Solving

Think Slow and Otherbei Tricks for Better Problem-Solving Think Slow and Other Tricks for Better Problem-Solving Article by Sam EiflingAs a kid, I welches the sort of nerd who got serious about quiz bowl. During my senior year of high school, I welches on a team that advanced to the state playoffs. In college, at a Big Ten university, I was on a team that traveled the Midwest playing other teams of fast-twitch buzzer-mashers.Whereas some players had deep recall of Russian novels or the periodic table, I tended to skate by on loose-ends trivia pop culture, sports, the occasional lucky stab at U.S. history. By the time I was old enough to drink, I was a solid bar-trivia player. In a weekly pub game, I once nailed down a win by correctly naming the capital of Uganda (Kampala) on the final question. A different night, a new teammate and I simultaneously blurted the answer apogee to a question about the moons orbit. Smitten, I asked her out, and we dated for the rest of the summer.Like I said nerd.That was years ago, though, before Google even existed long before everyone toted around wireless supercomputers that fit in our jeans. These days, any worthwhile trivia night strives to be at least partially Google-proof because huge swaths of the worlds loose knowledge have been rounded up and cataloged by the most complex network of machines ever devised. The instant recall of facts, formerly a marker of elite intelligence or at least the image of it, has become an affectation. You want to know the capital of Uganda? Two keywords in a search bar is all you need to get the answer faster than you could even ask the question. Quick recall is now a parlor trick, like grabbing a live fly out of midair or uncapping a beer bottle with a folded dollar bill. An intelligence predicated on stockpiling facts is outmoded, nave. Look what happened in the past 20 years to card catalogs, road atlases, and Rolodexes. The databanking that got you through multiple-choice tests no longe r secures your relevance. Just ask a phone book.But these are also heady days to examine the way you think, if youre willing Neuroscience and the rise of artificial intelligence (mora on that later) have given us new insights into the interplay between the mind and the brain, two interlocking (but sometimes competing) parts of ourselves.For those of us who have long conflated a facile memory with actual smarts, though, analyzing our own thought habits is about as enticing as counting carbs or auditing credit card bills. Some routines are so entrenched that drilling into them requires a confrontation with the ego especially if youre the sort who considers themselves a good thinker. This most likely describes most people, in part because they give so little thought to the matter. If you werent good at thinking, well, wouldnt that catch up with you? Surely, yes, of course ergo, theres no need to think about the matter any further. But if you did, being such a good thinker, would you not, assuredly, come up with a way to improve your thinking even further?In his new book,Winning the Brain Game Fixing the 7 Fatal Flaws of Thinking, Matthew E. May platzsets out a convincing case that no one much likes to examine the ways they think in part because were all so conditioned to receiving cheap rewards for quick answers that we scarcely bother to do much real thinking at all. May explains that hes the sort of guy whos hired by companies large and small to stump workers and executives with brain teasers. This sounds like great work if you can get it, and the way May writes about these sessions breezily, almost like a street magician recalling audiences he has stumped makes him sound like a guy who genuinely has hacked into something fundamental about being a person in the 21st century We have access to so much external knowledge that weve forgotten how to ask ourselves decent questions. School rewards answers fast ones. Work rewards productivity, which is predicated usually on finding paths of least resistance.Mays enduring thesis, and one thats hard to debate, is that weve been conditioned by a lifetime of what amounts to trivia contests to mistake the regurgitation of facts for the act of thinking. May argues that, actually, the rote recall of information or the obligatory regurgitation of possible solutions at top speed takes place somewhere outside the analytical mind. In other words, it is an act less intellectual and mora glandular in nature.Our brains are amazing pattern machines making, recognizing, and acting on patterns developed from our experience and grooved over time, May writes. Following those grooves makes us ever so efficient as we go about our day. The challenge is this if left to its own devices, the brain locks in on patterns, and its difficult to escape the gravitational pull of embedded memory in order to see things in an altogether new light.This strikes me as likely true. Those of us who went through American schools have been conditioned to rely on those patterned responses for decades. Looking back, the best quiz bowl players always buzzed in before the proctor finished reading the question.***In his day job, May prods groups in any project to reach for what he calls elegant solutions. By and large, those are the simplest, cheapest, least-intrusive, most-effective changes you can make to a system. Lesser solutions, he finds, tend to trade quality for speed. He insists that many of the reasons we fail to find elegant solutions are self-inflicted. We overthink a problem, or we jump to conclusions, or we decide after a few minutes of mumbly debate that weve come up with a solid B-minus answer, and then were ready to move on to the next emergency. A less charitable author might describe those pitfalls themselves as lazy, but realistically, theyre the shortcuts we all use to navigate the zillion gnat-like tasks that drain our attention. You make mistakes and compromises because your brain has evolv ed over eons to value functional near-facts over perfectly crystalline truths. And often, the good enough is so-called for a reason. Duct tape and Taco Bell are revered for a reason.InWinning the Brain Game, May describes a brain teaser he presented to a team composed of bomb technicians from the Los Angeles Police Department, the sort of group whose members regard themselves as unflappable thinkers and decision-makers. Heres the scenario May posed to them You run a fancy health club that in its shower stalls offers fancy shampoo in big bottles that would retail for $50 at a salon. Unshockingly, these big bottles often go the way of a pension bathrobe Members take them home at a distressing rate, costing you. What solution can you devise that will be unintrusive, cheap or free, and protect your inventory?Yes, sure, you could switch to travel bottles or force guests to check the shampoo out, but these will complicate operations at your otherwise immaculate and successful health club, so think harder.May says the employees at the real-life club this problem is based on figured out an unintrusive and simple solution that cost no money. It is a solution any bright child could devise and yet, the bomb techs didnt arrive at it in their few minutes talking over the problem (and neither did I as I read the book). In a health club where people are stashing a big ol bottle of fancy shampoo in their gym bags on their way out, it turns out merely uncapping the bottles, is one heck of a deterrent.May writes that when groups tackle this problem, he sees all seven of the categories of thinking mistakes he lays out in the book. To summarize them as a holistic piece of advice for how to think smarter Be more deliberate. Ask many questions before deciding on an answer. Do not accept a sloppy solution because it is easy. Do not talk yourself out of great ideas. Do not reject solutions because someone else came up with them.All of this sounds rightly agreeable when laid out in t hose terms. No one thinks of themselves as a sloppy thinker, but then, such is the tautology a careful thinker would already know the pitfalls in their own process. Even then, history is littered with terrible ideas that lasted for very long periods of time. As Carl Sagan wrote of the ancient Greek astronomer Ptolemy inCosmos,his Earth-centered universe held sway for 1,500 years, a reminder that intellectual capacity is no guarantee against being dead wrong.The more you force yourself to think slowly, the more likely your brain becomes to engage that gear.Its freeing to realize youre probably, profoundly, deeply wrong about something you believe very much. Freeing, because it gives you permission to think intently on what exactly that might be. Were all victims of our hard-wiring, you see, and May revels in citing studies in neuroscience and behavioral psychology that point to our flaws, as well as our ability to overcome them.The brain is passive hardware, absorbing experience, and the mind is active software, directing our attention, May writes. But not just any software its intelligent software, capable of rewiring the hardware. I could not have said that with confidence a few decades ago, but modern science is a wonderful thing.This is, in a nutshell, the value of bothering to bother. The more you force yourself to think slowly, the more likely your brain becomes to engage that gear.***To help you engage your slow thinking, May builds his book largely the same way he sets up his seminars around sinister Mensa-style riddles that make you aware of how inflexible youve let your brain become. fruchtwein are incredibly simple, which is what makes them so humbling. The favorite here is the classic Monty Hall problem, a distillation of the crux of the show Lets Make a Deal. In a book called Winning the Brain Game, this particular puzzler feels like a required stop.The old game show climaxed with a logic puzzle folded into a game of chance. You, the contestant, w ere offered the choice of three doors. Behind one door was a fabulous prize say, a car. Behind two doors were booby prizes in the classic arrangement, goats. When you chose a door, the host, Monty Hall, would pause before revealing what was behind it. He would open one of the remaining two doors to show you a goat. Hed then ask Do you want to stick with your original door, or switch?Strangely, this innocuous question, raised many times over the years but most notably in a 1991 Parade Magazine column, creates genuine havoc. May takes glee in recounting the fallout from the solution offered by columnist Marilyn vos Savant that one should always switch doors. Professional mathematicians at the time wrote in to upbraid her for numerical illiteracy, insisting it was a 50/50 proposition. Even after vos Savant was vindicated and previously incensed Ph.D.s wrote in with mea culpas, the spat echoed for years. When The New York Times revisited the logic problem in 2008, for instance, the p aper built an online video game for readers to play for goats and cars, to keep score over many tries. And sure enough, you click on enough doors, you learn to switch.The reason could scarcely be simpler. When you choose one door, you leave two doors for Monty. At least one of those doors must by definition have a goat, and at the turn, hell always show you a goat but then, you had to know he always has a goat to show. Theres a two-in-three chance that you didnt pick the car when you chose your door. When he offers to trade the closed door for your closed door, hes effectively giving you both of the doors you passed on with your original choice.Two for one. A two-thirds chance of winning. By switching doors, you raise the possibility of winning a car by 100 percent. And still this strikes many people as counterintuitive. When you hold onto that first door, it somehow seems more likely to hold a car. The decision to stay, May writes, is easy and lets you rest without scrutinizing th e actual odds.A Harvard University statistics professor, Persi Diaconis, told Times reporter John Tierney in a 1991 story about the fracas that our brains are just not wired to do probability problems very well, so Im not surprised there were mistakes.Such a simple little trap is the Monty Hall problem, and yet its very name was coined in a 1976 paper written for the journal American Statistician. This tiny puzzle is taken very seriously. Your intellectual capacity is no protection against being wrong.***At some point in the near future, robots will handle a lot of the rote chores (and even deep intellectual efforts) that sap us on a given day. Even now, artificial intelligence (AI) researchers are grappling with the ways computer intelligence built to perform a specific job might hack that task, in a nearly human fashion, by rearranging its priorities to derive the largest reward under its programming. In a paper published this past June titled Concrete Problems in AI Safety, a tea m of AI researchers, including three from Google, forecast both the workarounds that a hypothetical housecleaning robot would devise to satisfy its assignments and the pitfalls of those workarounds. Oddly, several of them sound like what any teacher or boss would have to absprache with when working with a petulant or nervous teenager. How do you keep robots from breaking things or getting in peoples ways as they rush to finish their jobs? How do you keep them from asking too many questions?The most human concern, to me, is how we keep robots from gaming the rewards system.For example, if our cleaning robot is set up to earn reward for not seeing any messes, it might simply close its eyes rather than ever cleaning anything up, the researchers write. Or if the robot is rewarded for cleaning messes, it may intentionally create work so it can earn more reward.This is a complex question, one that examines much of what we take for granted as a basic social contract. Taken literally, thoug h, it points to the problem of fixation, of setting monomaniacal goals. A cleaning robot that believes its use of bleach is a good measure for how much work it has done might simply bleach everything it encounters.In the economics literature, the AI researchers write, this is known as Goodharts law When a metric is used as a target, it ceases to be a good metric.The stated goal, in other words, is rarely the actual goal.Yet we all set goals, and Mays business is to help us figure out how to reach them. At times, Mays framework betrays how accustomed he is to working for big corporate clients who no doubt respond best when employees and middle managers are told to ignore all limits on the way to greatness. May enrolls for this exercise a 60-something potato farmer named Cliff Young who, in 1983, entered an ultramarathon in Australia, a 542-mile run from Sydney to Melbourne. Shabbily attired, unsponsored and untrained, Young nonetheless managed to beat a field of professional runners by 10 hours over five days. Why? Well, he apparently had become ludicrously fit by scampering around his farm chasing livestock over the years. But to Mays point, Young simply had no idea the conventions of the sport held that runners should sleep six hours a night during the race. May writes In fact, his navet in all likelihood enabled him to win in the manner he did because he didnt know it couldnt be done, he was empowered to do it.Thats an amazing example, though it does overlook the many, many, many things considered impossible because they are, in fact, firmly impossible. More inspiring to me, and probably to schlubs everywhere, is the embrace of our natural limits. You free up a lot of mental and emotional bandwidth to do great things when you stop chastising yourself for not being the Cliff Young in this analogy. Yeah, you might wind up running seven-minute miles for the better part of a week and become a folk hero straight from the farm. But more often, youre going to be t rying to figure out how not to make an arithmetic error or obvious typo in an email to a client when youre in the 10th hour of your workday, wondering whether you should cook dinner or just say to hell with it and stop at Taco Bell on the way home. We all bump up against our limits in different ways, and as it turns out, many of them are real.Inevitably though, the simpler the problem you face, the more likely you are to get it right, and a small, correct thought can be infinitely more valuable than a large, incorrect one, even an incorrect one off by just a few degrees. The lesson I took from Mays analysis Shrink your problems to a size that allows you to think clearly about them. Do this by first asking very good questions. Then, as you build to an answer, be aware of the pitfalls your brain invariably will stumble into as a clumsy instrument of human apprehension. No thought forms in a vacuum most are derived from the leftover crumbs of old thoughts.I experienced this recently wh en driving to a wedding shower in a suburb of Chicago Id never visited. I turned onto the street of the home I was driving to, saw about 10 cars parked around a driveway and the adjoining street, and thought, This must be the place. It was inane of me to leap to that conclusion without so much as glancing at the house numbers. During a long day of travel in an unfamiliar setting, I reached for an answer that would be comfortingly simple. But in part because I had May on my mind, I was fully prepared to notice why I was messing up and to call myself on it.Knowing when and why our brains take shortcuts (and why we let them) allows us to catch ourselves (our brains?) in the act. It also hones our intuition around when we are, as May terms it, downgrading or satisficing essentially, convincing ourselves to tap out early or just staying in our usual ruts.Its comforting to know that human intelligence, like the artificial intelligences were bringing into the world, is capable of being ha cked. Most of what May proposes falls under the heading of habits to cultivate. One trick, though, sits right at hand for any stressful occasion. It begins with seeing oneself impartially, a tendency May traces back to Adam Smiths concept of an impartial and well-informed spectator. In our best moments, most of us hope to be that spectator for ourselves, and one way to accomplish that is to treat ourselves as spectators. May cites a University of Michigan study that found people who addressed themselves in the second person or by their own names (e.g., You got this Sam totally has this) to psych themselves up for a speech did better and felt less anxiety than people who used the first person (e.g., I got this).In a sense, we are our best selves when we leave ourselves momentarily, look back in, and reassure everyone that, having done all we can, its going to be fine, so long as we take our time.A version of this article originally appeared in the November 2016 issue of SUCCESS magaz ine and on SUCCESS.com.Sam Eifling is an itinerant American reporter and editor who lives in Brooklyn, New York.

What the In-Crowd Wont Tell You About Parts of a Resume

What the In-Crowd Wont Tell You About Parts of a Resume Please dont hesitate to contact me at any moment at the numbers listed on my CV if you want to explore any elements of my application. Employers, all of your recruitment needs can be met by click on this link. Since resumes are usually skimmed, its important that at a glance they appear well organized and simple to read. The Downside Risk of Parts of a Resume One of the very first actions in job hunting is to produce a strong resume. Get the job that you deserve, not the one youre stuck in. When youre submitting your resume for a particular job posting, its common to modify your professional title to coincide with the one listed in the work description. For instance, if youre an IT professional who is searching for a graphic designer job, you may make a Graphic Design Experience to list off your background in graphic design and incorporate an Additional Experience section to highlight your other work experiences which arent directly regarding the area of work that you wanna break into. The Upside to Parts of a Resume Consider a resume from somebody who has had 15 decades of experience spread over 2 distinct employers for an essential job on your team. One of the crucial components of locating a new job is having a resume thats going to secure you an interview. In instances where the job which you want isnt exactly related with your work experience, you might want to use a distinct section for your fruchtwein relevant expert experience and another section for the remainder of your employment history. You are working to land the ideal job in a competitive atmosphere. The principal intention of a resume is to sell you to prospective employers in your intended industry. You may rather incorporate an objective in a job-search letter instead, especially in case you need to be thought about for a wide selection of positions.
