Even 1 minute passed the agreed-upon time is considered late and the more minutes late, the worse it reflects on you. Showing up late gives the impression that not only do you lack the discipline and professionalism to show up when you say you will, but it also makes your interview(s) wonder if you dont respect their time and your ability to follow through (as an employee and rolle).2. Show up too earlyInterview lateness is one obvious no-no, but did you know theres also such a thing as showing uptoo early?Yes, this concept exists. Unless the company specifically tells you beforehand that its okay to show up early, a good rule of thumb is to come in and introduce yourself no earlier than 10 minutes before your interview time. There are a couple of reasons for this 1) you dont become an unexpected nuisance if no one is available to greet you or show you where to wait, and 2) it prevents any befhigung awkwardness, such as running into other interviewees.3. Use your cellphoneNowadays, everyone seems glued to their cellphoneto the point where its alfruchtwein natural for us to check our cellphones at any given time. But in the interview setting using your cellphone can reflect poorly on you, whether you do it in the waiting room or, even worse, in the interview itself. It shows that you lack boundaries and the ability to focus, and might even give the impression that you lack respect for the interview that youre in and the person interviewing you none of these things are good4.

The only exception for doing this might be if you had a limited window of time for the interview (due to a prior engagement or otherwise) and communicated that to your interviewer beforehand.5. LieWhile the majority of job seekers bend the truth to their benefit to some extent while job hunting, you should never go so far as to straight up lie in the interview. Because even though your interviewer might not catch you in it in the moment, you might overestimate how good a liar you are and one of two things could happen 1. the interviewer could ask you to elaborate on something you lied about, which could end up putting you in a very bad situation that you cant dig yourself out of, or 2) the interview might simply get an odd feeling about you overall and sense that youre not being totally genuine, which will impact their general i mpression of you as a candidate (regardless of any honest answers youve given).6. Dress inappropriatelyThere are a lot of schools of thought aboutwhat proper interview attire isand it gets even further complicated when different companies today in various industries have their own standards and levels of casualness. Because unlike 10 or so years ago when wearing a suit welches considered the ultimate interview uniform, nowadays, some interviewers will actually prefer thatcandidates NOT wear a suit to their interview. Your best bet is to ask the hiring manager or contact at the company about interview attire as specifically as possible, and avoid the universal no-gos like wrinkled, hole-y, too-revealing or faded clothing.7. Have a negative or defensive attitudeIts true that the job interview is the time where you should show-off and prove your skills and aptitude for the role to the person interviewing you. However, its also a very crucial time when the interviewer is also assessing your personality and whether they want to even work with you. This means that its in your best interest to not get defensive or negative about anything youre asked about, even if its something from your past that gets you riled up or that you feel needs defending. Instead, practiceturning negatives into positives in your interviewand demonstrate that youre a person who thinks and acts positively, even in the face of conflict and difficult topics.8.

Dont dodge the question by sharing a strength or calling a weakness a strength (most cliche answer ever my greatest weakness is my perfectionism). Instead, share a n honest failure or weakness and what its taught you or how its changed the way you think and work.12. Throw your current orformer employer under the busNever, never, never throw your current or former employer under the bus during a job interview. Interviewers hear it all the timeTheir upper management was theworst.

You would be in charge of your success, your commitment, and best of all all on your time.2. Temp AgencyStaffing agencies are excellent for working mothers. If youre not familiar, a staffing agency hires temporary workers and then dispatches those workers to various job sites and companies in the local area on an as-needed basis. As a worker, youd be employed by the agency and then loaned out to their customers. Depending on what your current skills are, youd be placed within an area of interest and ability to you.

This executive likes to literally make her clients sweat

This executive likes to literally make her clients sweatThis executive likes to literally make her clients sweatTo close business deals, Microsoft EVP of business development Peggy Johnson literally goes the extra mile. In a new Wall Street Journal profile on how marathon running has helped Johnsons career, we learn that Johnson uses her running habit as a business strategy.When I run with customers, the goal is to go just fast enough so they cant talk much and I can dominate the conversation, Johnson told the Journal about how she sets the pace to be at her comfort. By bringing clients onto her turf, she maintains the upper hand.Johnson is not the only person who brings fitness into the workplace. There are stories of employees and managers who have asked job applicants to do sit-ups, jogs, and even go to a sauna to test their character.John Osbon said that when he worked on Wall Street, he would play basketball with job candidates and purposefully foul them to see how they would re act under pressure. There, the goal was to throw a job seeker out of their komponente in the hopes that they would reveal their true character. But what if you do not play basketball? If you are applying to be a fitness instructor, your ability to think and sweat makes sense, but it can be harder to understand why you need to physically exhaust yourself if you are jockeying for a desk job.Should work and exercise be kept separate? It depends on how you use it to make decisions and how much you believe your personal fitness identity should be a part of your professional one.Should sweat be a part of business?Moving around at work is known to boost our creativity and confer health benefits. Many managers enjoy walk-and-talks to get employees out of the restrictions of the office and into the looser habitats of the wild. Apple co-founder Steve Jobs was famously a fan of walking meetings to have serious conversations. As Oracles David Haimes put it, the walk can make a talk between a ma nager and a team member seem more equal The fact that we are walking side-by-side means the conversation is more peer-to-peer than when I am in my office and they are across a desk from me, which reinforces the organizational hierarchy. This kind of exercise can help build interpersonal relationships with coworkers and colleagues you may not otherwise get to know.But taking this negotiation tactic to a higher level of aerobic activity comes with the risk of alienating prospective clients and employees. Physical sports can bring out ugly rivalries, sore losers, and at worst, a human resources complaint. If you have a boss who is on a power trip, insecure and full of ego, he/she is not going to take well to being shown up by a subordinate, work communication expert Donna Flag advised. If, on the other hand, youve got an open, secure individual who wont take it personally, then it could be very positive for both parties. Keep in mind that the game he or she is playing may not actually be tennis.If fitness is one team-building option among many, go ahead and ask your team member to go on a run with you. But make it a choice, not a surprise demand. And be careful about where the ask is coming from. If you are a manager asking a team member if they are interested in doing a lunch spin class, recognize the power dynamics within this request. They may feel pressure to say yes even if they secretly hate sweating.And unless physical activity is required for a job candidates success, it is best to keep work and exercise separate in hiring. If you make fitness a mandatory part of your hiring process, you are signaling that you already have a certain kind of candidate in mind and will be excluding less able-bodied candidates. Some people shine in the boardroom and flame out in the weight room. Whether or not you get the desk job should not come down to how many weights can you lift or how long you can jog.

Career Planning for your Multigenerational Workforce

Career Planning for your Multigenerational WorkforceCareer Planning for your Multigenerational WorkforceCareer Planning for your Multigenerational Workforce Cleaver, author of The Career Lattice (McGraw Hill, 2012)The career ladder may be firmly planted in American culture as the default metaphor for success, but it doesnt work any more for fruchtwein people.What does work is the career lattice a flexible structure of strategic lateral moves that keep employees growing and engaged at their current level of responsibility and pay. And while Darwinian ladders save the biggest rewards for those who make it to the top, the lattice holds the promise of ongoing employee satisfaction at every career stage and age.Balancing the Multigenerational WorkplaceAs your organization considers adopting lattices as your primary mode of employee development, heres how the business case plays out for the three biggest demographic groups currently employed baby boomers, Gen X, and Millennials.Theres one thing that unterstellung groups have in common they know they are on their own to set their career direction. As author of The Career Lattice, I estimate that about 30% of American workplaces offer developmental lateral moves.The others? Not so much. A 2011 Accenture Skills Gap Study found that 68% of employees know its up to them to keep their job skills updated. But they get scant direction from their employers.While corporate CEOs say they want employees who nimbly anticipate tomorrows opportunities today, they concentrate their training dollars on technical skills, according to Accenture.The good news is that lattices can equip all employees with the insight to plot their next steps, making the most of opportunities offered by employers and those they pursue on their own.Boomers Finish StrongWhile leading-edge baby boomers are plunging into retirement, the trailing edge of this huge generation is facing the reality that their runway to retirement just got extended by about five years. An AARP study found that 77% of todays workers aged 50 and up expect to remain in their current jobs until they retire.Even the 9% who hope to change jobs want to stay in the same field. That means that the myth of career reinvention is just that a myth.Cemented-in-place boomers are also blocking the way for the next generation of rising talent. Lattices reconcile this tension by offering meaningful last-stage moves for boomers who want to make the most of a lifetime of experience, cultural knowledge and networks. Here are three lattice techniques for transitioning boomers laterallyTraining Guru One telecommunications company needed to open up a promotion for a restless, talented midlevel manager.The logical spot was occupied by a well-respected baby boomer with a decade to go before retirement.Because he had extensive experience managing technical staff, senior management created for him the position of regional training director. He drew on his far-flung connections at tec hnical schools and vendors and completely overhauled the companys training structure with terrific results.Master Mentor With the advantage of generational hindsight, baby boomers are often in a position to assemble challenging and creative mentor groups that are aligned with the organizations culture.In-house Consultant Baby boomers with long tenure are the go-to people for a reason they know everybody and everything.Some organizations have created in-house consulting teams who swing into action for short term projects as well as emergencies.Generation X in WaitingGen X todays 30- to 50-year-olds have the misfortune of being squeezed between the demanding baby boomers and the footloose Millennials. Supposedly at the peak of their earning years, Gen Xers are also carrying student debt, houses with eroded equity, and childrearing expenses.They cant afford to let their careers stall. And employers cant afford that either, as Gen X represents the next group of top leaders. Keep them engaged and growing while you engineer genuine promotions.Tech Tactics unterstellung days, most managers need at least some experience managing technical teams. A short-term assignment co-managing a project with a seasoned tech manager can infuse a general manager with deep understanding of tech culture and success.Intrapreneurs -When opportunities look scarce internally, Gen Xers are likely to strike out on their own. Fertilize new ideas and retain rising talent by commissioning them to create and direct internal business plan competitions.Flex Sets Most employees expect flexwork arrangements, but Gen X has enough experience and influence to pioneer new models. If your organization has been flirting with extreme flexwork arrangements such as job sharing, assign the project to a team of Gen Xers. Ask them to come up with new ways to drive productivity through flexible work arrangements and give them the reins.Millennials Lateral Naturally Millennials todays twenty-somethings some times referred to as Gen Y take to lattices naturally. After all, they grew up with social networks, which are jet-fueled social lattices. Help them put a business focus on their lateral point of view so they can become confident latticers from the start.Circle supervision Theyll do it anyway, so add some structure to millennials organically formed peer groups and show them how to mentor each other. By rotating leadership, youll quickly discover hidden talents and obvious development needs while building your Gen Y succession planning.Mine Tech Talent Looking for technical workers? There might be hidden aptitude among your millennials. Mix up teams to give all millennials hands-on tech assignments, with the aim of detecting those with skills or the willingness to learn.Crossed Culture GenY are more comfortable than prior generations with diverse co-workers. Be purposeful in assembling teams to create opportunities for cross-pollinating across cultures, with the aim of finding fr esh solutions to perennial marketing, operations and communication challenges.Author Bio Joanne Cleaver is a nationally published journalist whose work has appeared in publications from Crains Chicago Business to Working Mother to Good Housekeeping to Inc.
