Older Americans are facing age discrimination and working longer anyway

Older Americans are facing age discrimination and working longer anywayOlder Americans are facing age discrimination and working longer anywayOlder workers want to stay on the job longer, but they face age discrimination and have difficulting getting jobs.About half (51%) of all adults said older workers often dealt with age discrimination at work,according to a recent survey conducted byThe Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.Follow Ladders on FlipboardFollow Ladders magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and moraOlder workers agreed just over half (58%) of Americans age 50 and older say that older workers face discrimination in the workplace, and 75% think their own age is a disadvantage when looking for work,Approximately a fifth of workers age 50 and older feel theyve been ignored for a promotion or a raise because of their age.A full 79% of women and 70% of men aged 50 and older said their age made job search ing mora difficult.The 2019 Working Longer Survey looks at the effects of the trend of U.S. workers who are opting to stay in the workplace and put off retirement. Older workers meaning those who are 55 or more have since 2005 comprised a larger share of the labor force than those age 16 to 24.The survey was conducted online and over the phone with 1,423 adults.Nearly half of all adults think older Americans working longer is beneficial to the national economy, and 39% think its good for workers in general. A third of all workers say its good for their career, and 46% view it as good for their workplace culture.However, things begin to skew when you break those responses down by age and then by education.Not everyone is happy to see older adults staying on in the workforce.Older Americans, naturally, support the working longer trend 53% of Americans over age 50 said that working past age 65 was a boon for the economy, and 50% said it was good for workers in general.Younger America ns see the trend much more negatively only 38% think its good for the economy, and just 30% think its good for American workers.

Among younger workers, only 27% say having more older workers around is good for their career, and 43% see their presence in the workplace as positive for the culture.When broken down along the lines of education 37% of workers under age 50 with at least some college say people staying in the workforce is bad for their career, compared with just 20% of young workers with no col lege education.No matter how you slice it, being an older worker in the U.S. isnt easy.

New Job Scams -- And How to Avoid Them

New Job Scams -- And How to Avoid ThemNew Job Scams And How to Avoid Them1Its a sad, but true, reality. For every real online job, there may be up to 100 job scams. And the job scammers are getting savvier by the day, coming up with new tactics to convince job seekers their job scams are real.Weve posted about job scams before on , but here is a refresher course on some old job scams- and some new ones, too- to help you protect yourself from job scammers.Here are 6 job scams to look out forInstant message interviews.Whether youre applying for a telecommuting position or even an in-office one, we havent heard of a single legitimate case where an employer asked a candidate to do an interview via IM. Its just not done and is a job scam. Ditto for mail interviews. If youre a true candidate for a real job, youll be asked to come in (if the office is nearby) or youll do a phone or Skype interview. They key for an interview is to first make sure you can confirm you are talking to a real pe rson at a real hiring company, and IM gives no such valid contact informationthats why scammers use it.Asking for money.Weve said it before and well say it again You should never, ever have to pay to work at a company. So no matter what the reason- for example, even if the company gives you a free laptopbut then entices you to purchase their proprietary softwareto use on it- you shouldnt hand over your hard-earned money to a potential employer. While the job offer might be seemingly authentic or convincing, if a potential boss asks you to send money (especially if its via a wire transfer or where you deposit money into an account and take a percentage), the job is almost certainly a scam. Protect your money and watch out for this job scam.Asking for your bank account information.Job scammers want access to your cash- fast. They might position it as an up-front fee for a phone headset or for some other hardware or software item that is required for you to start the job. If a potentia l employer asks you for sensitive personal or financial information, such as your social security number or checking account information, you should stop in your tracks with that company and say youre sorry, but you know that is a sign of a scam. Simply, legitimate employers shouldnt ask you for this information.Texting as a way to communicate.You text your kids, your mom, and your partner. But you dont text a hiring manager, and he shouldnt be texting you, either. If a potential boss wants to text you information about the interview or to complete the hiring process, dont proceed.Using an odd e-mail address.Red flags should wave if you spot a potential boss using a non-work related e-mail address, such as Yahoo, Gmail, or Hotmail. E-mails that pertain to work should always be done through a work e-mail address. And be aware if youre receiving e-mails at unusual hours- work-related e-mails should be sent during regular office hours.Pretending to be from another company.You should al ways research the person youre speaking with, even if she seems to be from a real company. Find out her work e-mail address, and see if it differs from the one youve been corresponding with. Then send an e-mail to the correct business e-mail address to determine whom youve really been communicating with. This is a valuable, but easy way to check for job scams.While there are many, many legitimate telecommuting jobs out there, there are always going to be those people who make their career by scamming others and posting job scams. So be careful as you apply for remote positions online, and take the necessary steps to protect your safety.Readers, what do you think of the latest job scams? What do you do to protect yourself?

How to Confirm a Job Interview

How to Confirm a Job Interview How to Confirm a Job Interview Its always a good idea to confirm a job interview, especially if it was scheduled more than a week in advance. Not only will it make you appear professional, but it provides one last opportunity to double-check that you have the correct location, date, and time. As well as confirming these details, you can also ask for the name of the person you will be meeting with and where to go in the building once youve arrived.   Tips for Confirming a Job Interview When you  schedule a job interview, be sure to confirm the interview location, as well as the date and time. Weve heard from job seekers who didnt have an accurate address and ended up missing their job interview. Weve also heard from applicants who didnt write down the correct time and even from someone who got the day wrong. Showing up on the wrong day is embarrassing and will make you seem disorganized and unprofessional. Given how hard it can be to get an interview, its important to get all the details right. If you dont, and you miss the interview, you may not get a second chance. Taking the time to confirm the details will help you  avoid interview stress, as well. As in all your correspondence with the interviewer, be polite and professional. While you want to confirm the details, avoid asking questions that could be easily answered through a quick online search. For instance, dont request directions to the office; if you have the address, you can figure out how to get there on your own.   Check the Interview Details Confirm, with the person scheduling the interview, the street address, the floor, and the suite if its in a large office building. Also, confirm which department you are interviewing with and who are going to meet. Sample Job Interview Confirmation Here is an example of a job interview confirmation email that you can use as inspiration to write our own.   Subject line: Interview confirmation for the graphic designer position - Neil Karlson   Dear Mr. Martins,   Thank you very much for arranging the interview for the graphics designer role at ABC Company, located at 785 Union St, on Tuesday, April 15 at 9:30 a.m.   When you have a moment, can you please share the name and job title of the person who will be interviewing me?   Im looking forward to Tuesdays conversation, and the opportunity to share my background and learn more about this position. If I can provide any additional information prior to the interview, please just let me know.   Best,   Neil   See more information on how to send an email confirmation email prior to an interview.   Map the Directions When youre interviewing in a location youre not familiar with making sure you map your directions. The mapping apps on your smartphone or Google Maps are excellent resources for getting directions and for mapping the location where you need to go. Options are available for driving, walking, and mass transit directions. Check out which works best for getting to the interview in a timely manner. (Sometimes heavy or unpredictable traffic can make public transportation or walking the best option.) Research parking options, as well, so you dont get tied up seeking a parking spot. If youre not positive where the interview will be held, do a trial run and visit your interview location ahead of time so you know exactly where youre going. That way, youll be sure not to be late for your interview. Plan on Extra Time Finally, give yourself extra time to get there - even if you know precisely where youre going. Rushing can leave you looking sweaty and feeling flustered. Sometimes the entrances to large office buildings or company campuses can be perplexing and overwhelming.   With an extra five or ten minutes, youll have a cushion of time, just in case, there are any glitches along the way. With that extra time, you can avoid rushing and will have a few minutes to freshen up before your interview. This can help reduce pre-interview jitters.   When You Need to Cancel or Reschedule If something changes and you need to  reschedule  or  cancel  the interview, give the employer as much notice as possible. You can reach out by email or phone. Suggest alternate times for the interview when you contact the hiring manager. After the rescheduled interview, make sure to mention the interviewers accommodation in your thank you note, too.

Four Steps to Unleash Creativity in the Workplace

Four Steps to Unleash Creativity in the Workplace Four Steps to Unleash Creativity in the Workplace Four Steps to Unleash Creativity in the Workplace Birla, author of Unleashing Creativity and Innovation: Nine Lessons from Nature for Enterprise Growth and Career Success (John Wiley, 2013) After the release of my first book, FedEx Delivers: How the Worlds Leading Shipping Company Keeps Innovating and Outperforming the Competition, I was interviewed by Bloomberg TV and asked a question thatpointed tothe necessity for unleashing creativity in the workplace. The question was, If someone were to arrive on earth from Mars and did not know anything about FedEx, whats the one thing youd tell him that was the key to FedEx becoming a global success story? Thats easy I said. Its the discretionary effort the creativity and commitment of employees at all levels of the organization. During my 22 years at FedEx, I saw first hand the generation and implementation of creative ideas at all levels of the organization. Since then, Ive been speaking about Leading for Innovation and Growth to executives all over the world. One question Im always askedis, How can I sustain enterprise growth in todays highly competitive global economy? Based on myexperience helping FedEx become a global icon and in my consulting work with companies, the answer continues to be, You must tap into your teams creativity. Your Customer Service Agents Creativity After FedEx offered a Saturday delivery option, customers would call on Fridays for scheduling a pick-up. The customer service representative on the phone would ask if the customer would like the shipment to be delivered Saturday for extra $10. This would inevitably create a lag while the customer checked to see whether the boss wanted the Saturday delivery option. A customer service agent suggested a new script that changed the question to a statement: If youd like Saturday delivery, please mark the airway bill accordingly. There will be $10 surcharge. Otherwise it will be delivered Monday. The call was complete, and the wait time was eliminated. When you think of the number of calls FedEx receives every day, this change produced big cost savings. More importantly, it created a much smoother customer experience. The Creativity of the FedEx Team in Australia Australia was gearing up for the 2000 Summer Olympics. Traffic restrictions in the city were going to shut FedExs pickup and delivery operations down. There would be no parking on the streets during normal delivery hours. The FedEx team in Australia sent a questionnaire to customers that asked them if their businesses would be open. If so, the questionnaire asked how FedEx could serve their needs during the Olympics. The team devised a plan to have multiple couriers in one vehicle. FedEx delivery trucks would circle the area and the extra couriers would deliver the packages, while the trucks kept moving. FedEx customers were delighted. Generating Creativity in the Workplace Creativity is the process of generating ideas that will help the enterprise become more competitive in the marketplace. Business creativity means generating ideas that improve customer experience, create new products, increase revenue/market share, and/or helps improve efficiency. The mind requires the following four conditions to engage in the creative thinking process. These four points are included in my new book, Unleashing Creativity and Innovation: Nine Lessons from Nature for Enterprise Growth and Career Success. 1) Dots Expand Knowledge Creativity is about connecting the dots. The more dots you have to work with, the more combinations available to help generate new ideas. Curiosity generates more knowledge (i.e., dots), which precedes creativity. Creative people always ask why and continuously question the assumptions behind the existing business models, product designs, and business processes. These assumptions may have been valid 5 or 10 years ago when the process or product was initially designed, but the world and technology have changed significantly since then. 2) Imagination Connects the Dots Imagination is the right brain asking what if by connecting dots in imaginative ways, as reflected by Einsteins quote, Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world. The creative power of our imagination stirs the growing knowledge base (more dots) into action. Using their imagination, creative problem solvers explore what ifs before locking into how to. 3) The Need for Creative Tension In order for the violin string to produce the right tone, it needs the right amount of stress. Too much tension and the string snaps; lacking any tension it does not produce any music. Similarly the mind needs creative tension. Creative tension is the gap between where we are and where we want to be. The role of leaders is to set specific goals for improving business processes, cost structure, customer experience, and so on. The goal should stretch far enough to require greater effort, but not so far as to be unattainable. This creates the required creative tension and gets the creative problem-solving journey started. 4) Give Them Time to Think Creative problem-solving takes time to develop a raw creative idea and get it ready for implementation. If youre constantly running from one meeting to another, where is the time to think? Your busy calendar must reflect a balance between doing and scheduling some quiet time for thinking. Quarterly earnings are the score. Unique processes, value propositions, capabilities, customer experiences and market positioning all products of creative and innovative thinking determine the score. If you want to improve the score, you must cultivate these four conditions for developing and tapping into your teams creativity.

The Cheetah Bot of War

The Cheetah Bot of War The Cheetah Bot of War The Cheetah (Bot) of War Where possible, humans have avoided sending armed humans after other armed humans to neutralize themits just too symmetrical of a situation. To avoid such confrontations, throughout the history of warfare humans haveused, among other things, dogs in place of soldiers. Against these dogs of war, the human had a chance. On occasion the dog could be outrun. When snapping at throat or lodged on arm, mans best friend could be dispatched by an armed soldier in many ways. Now the folks at Boston Dynamics, Waltham, MA, have put an end to these fallibilities of the canine. To replace the flawed dog of war, they have created the robot cheetah of war. These new beasts will not be so easy to put down. And theyll be impossible to outrun. Especially now. The Cheetah can hit speeds of 18 miles per hour on a treadmill. Image: Boston Dynamics Boston Dynamics put its latest Cheetah on a treadmill and saw it hit 18 miles per hour. That set a new record for fastest legged robot, a good five miles per hour faster than the old titleholder, a biped from MIT that hit 13 mph back in 1989. The DARPA-funded Cheetah is one of many creature-inspired robots the company has developed to make life on the battlefield easier for the foot soldier. Theres the building-hopping SandFlea; the wall-climbing, lizard-like RiSE; and RHex, which looks something like a six-legged platypus. The Cheetahs most direct ancestor is BigDog, a four-legged canine-esque machine meant to help infantrymen haul heavy loads. The BigDog, a four-legged canine, is the Cheetah‘s ancestor. Image: Boston Dynamics Hauling loads and hauling butt are two different things. As the goal shifted, so did the designfrom pack dog to fast cat. The fastest legged robot and the fastest legged animal that shares the same name also share much of the same design, most notably in the spine. Its elasticity returns much of the energy back into the run. But the Cheetahs primary investigator, Marc Raibert, warns not to take the similarity between the Cheetah robot we built and the animal too far. We are not trying to copy the animal, just take inspiration from it. It is true that they both have four legs and use their backs to help speed up their running, but the differences are significant too: most of the details are different. However different their details, both the beast and the bot face the same problem: If you want to go fast, you cant go fast for long. Energetics is an organizing principle for both the robot and the animal, and for most vehicles, says Raibert. Generally, the more weight devoted to power generation and fuel, the more difficult it is to support and accelerate the system. If the Cheetah had more lung and heart, perhaps it could run longer, but it would probably have to give up some top speed. The next version of the Cheetah Robot will also have limited duration of operation to save on power weight, cooling weight, etc. Being overweight is not the only thing keeping the Cheetah from being sent out to attack. The titanium fangs and laser eyes that might make it truly terrifying to the enemy have yet to be installed. At the moment, the beast is missing a head, making the robot arguably more creepy than terrifying. It also requires an off-board hydraulic pump for power as well as a boom-like device to keep it from veering off its (as of now) rather straightforward course. But these problems are none too difficult to solve and Boston Dynamics hopes to let its sprinter run free in the out-of-doors later this year. Michael Abrams is an independent writer. We are not trying to copy the animal, just take inspiration from it.Marc Raibert, Cheetah's primary investigator, Boston Dynamics

The best (and worst) cities to be a digital nomad

The best (and worst) cities to be a digital nomad The best (and worst) cities to be a digital nomad Which cities fare best for digital nomads to work and play? Online home rental company    Spotahome  has created a  â€œDigital Nomad” index, comparing 56 cities across the world on how well they welcome this growing untethered workforce. In a  recent study by MBO Partners, 4.8 million independent workers consider themselves to be digital nomads.The criteriaEverything you need to be a digital nomad - a home-free globetrotter who makes their living via their connection to the internet - was evaluated against the cities. Essential categories used to evaluate were cheap beer and an even cheaper place to sleep. For plugging into work, fast internet and access to co-working spaces (or just cafes with wifi). For entrepreneurs, the presence of startups. And for the mind, acceptance of transients, plus plenty of green space and sunshine.The topFor all of that, Belfast turned out to be the number one city for digital nomads. Though low on sunshine, it has plenty of cheap apartment rentals, was  named the best place to visit  by Lonely Planet, and has a fast-growing economy. Lisbon came in second, followed by Barcelona, Luxembourg, and Madrid.Those cities should watch out, though:  Tulsa, Oklahoma, is offering  remote workers $10k and membership at a remote working space if they’ll move there and Vermont and Maine have also recently offered incentives.The bottomThe worst places were more expensive cities like Hong Kong, Singapore, New York City, and Tokyo. New York ranked particularly low in apartment pric ing, internet speed, and the number of startups.Here is the full “Digital Nomad” list Belfast, United Kingdom Lisbon, Portugal Barcelona, Spain Brisbane, Australia Luxembourg,  Luxembourg Adelaide,  Australia Madrid,  Spain San Francisco, United States Wellington,  New Zealand Miami,  United States Auckland,  New Zealand Edinburgh,  United Kingdom Perth, Australia Lyon,  France Vancouver,  Canada Toronto,  Canada Amsterdam,  Netherlands Geneva,  Switzerland Montreal, Canada Melbourne,  Australia Berlin,  Germany Vienna,  Austria Buenos Aires, Argentina Chicago,  United States Dublin, Ireland Rome,  Italy Sydney,  Australia Los Angeles,  United States Munich,  Germany Bern,  Switzerland Prague,  Czech Republic Vilnius,  Lithuania Stockholm,  Sweden Helsinki,  Finland Bratislava,  Slovakia Brussels,  Belgium Warsaw,  Poland London,  United Kingdom Frankfurt,  Germany Tallinn,  Estonia Santiago,  Chile Seoul,  South Korea Budapest,  Hungary Osaka, Japan Zürich,  Switzerland Copenhagen,  Denmark Milan,  Italy Paris,  France Oslo,  Norway Athens,  Greece Abu Dhabi,  United Arab Emirates Dubai,  United Arab Emirates Tokyo,  Japan New York,  United States Singapore,  Singapore Hong Kong,  Hong Kong

Almost 1 in 5 Americans know someone whose job has been affected by automation

Almost 1 in 5 Americans know someone whose job has been affected by automation Almost 1 in 5 Americans know someone whose job has been affected by automation A new report from Pew Research Center shows that  18% of Americans reported knowing someone whose salary or hours have been cut, or who has lost a position, due to “workforce automation.”A sliver of people also reported having firsthand experience with this topic, with 2% saying they’ve lost a position themselves because their company “replaced their positions with a machine or computer program,” and 5% saying they’ve had a cut in salary or hours because of it.But at the same time - and in line with similar findings - the Pew Research data shows that not everyone buys into the idea of automation taking over their jobs, with only 30% of employees saying they think it’s “at least somewhat likely” that computers or robots will mostly carry out their positions  while they’re still alive.Of all the findings, here are just a few that stand out.Who is losing their jobs to automation?The report featured an age breakdown of the 2% who say they’ve lost a position to aut omation and the 5% who’ve witnessed a dip in wage or hours because of it.Those ages 18-24 emerged as the most likely to report being affected directly by automation.On the other hand, those aged 65 and up were the least likely to say so, with only 1% saying automation took their job and just 2% saying they ended up earning less money or clocking in fewer hours because of it.  Who thinks robots will take their jobs during their lifetime?Among hospitality and service workers, 42% said it was “likely,” while 58% said it wasn’t. Among retail employees, 41% said it was “likely,” while 59% disagreed.Meanwhile, 82% percent of those in education said it was “not likely” their jobs would be replaced by technology. Seventy-six percent of those in health care said it was “not likely.”Most Americans really don’t want computers involved in hiringAnother part of the survey dealt with the role of technology when it comes to hiring.The research found that an overwhelming 76% o f respondents wouldn’t be interested in applying for positions that rely on a computer program to make determinations about candidates during the hiring process.Within this group,  41% say “computers can’t capture everything about an applicant,” 20% think it’s “too impersonal,” and 4% think candidates are able to “game [the] system.”A comment from an unnamed 22-year-old woman was featured in the report, showing that by using algorithms in hiring, certain human traits could slip through the cracks.“A computer cannot measure the emotional intelligence or intangible assets that many humans have. Not every quality can be quantitatively measured by a computer when hiring someone; there is much more learned by face-to-face interactions,” she said.Technology that uses computers to screen applicants is already being deployed. There’s already  AI that can scan your face and tell employers whether you’re a good fit or not.Some are open to being screened by computersS ome Americans, however, think computers will give some job applicants a leg up during hiring, with 22%  on board wth the idea of AI being involved in the hiring process.Of those who were in favor of it, 35% said they thought this technology  would be “more fair, less biased than humans,” 10% said they think they’d “score well,” and 10% said “I would do what it took to get the job.”An unnamed 69-year-old woman commented in the report:  â€œThis process, assuming the criteria were fairly developed, would avoid unfair  discrimination and bias which impacts many hiring experiences. The successful applicant would be hired because they had the skills to do the job, not because they had a personality that clicked with the hiring authority.”

4 ways to succeed that dont include networking

4 ways to succeed that don't include networking 4 ways to succeed that don't include networking Mention the word “networking” to an entrepreneur, and you’ll often get one of two reactions: enthusiasm or cringing. The importance of having - and making - connections cannot be understated, but there’s more that goes into starting and growing a business. And when networking isn’t part of the equation, you’re forced to learn - about yourself, about others and about the process of learning. Personally, I cringe when someone mentions networking, so I was pleased to discover that there’s more to entrepreneurship than who you know. When I came to the United States from France to start my business, CrownTV, a digital signage software company, I did not have the luxury of family or connections. I’m grateful for this because it taught me how to be self-reliant. The lessons I learned from this are useful not just in business but also in everyday life. 1. Know yourself Some people are natural networkers or have a strong desire to become one. Others prefer to go it alone. What’s important isn’t which one of these you are, it’s  knowing  which one. Try attending networking events and seeing how it feels. Do you feel out of place, or do you feel eager to meet people and make connections? If you’re a networker, then network away. If not, decide what you should focus on instead. Networking alone will not make you successful, and it’s not mandatory. Instead, hard work, dedication, and persistence will. Connections will naturally follow  because people value accountability and diligence in others. 2. Learn about others Don’t rely on others to move your business forward. In college, I was working toward a degree in finance and wanted my friend to sign up for the same classes so we could study together. In actuality, he wasn’t sure what he wanted and he didn’t sign up for the courses. So I signed up on my own and never looked back. Had I waited, I may have missed the window to secure my spot. However, it’s also important to learn who you  can  trust and rely on for moral support. Having a support system is crucial, and you shouldn’t feel ashamed for needing one. Family is a safe place to start, especially if any of them have experience running a business. Don’t be afraid to ask them questions and seek their help when you need it. I’d also recommend finding one person - perhaps a potential co-founder - who can bolster you mentally along the way, because the road isn’t easy. I think startups with two founders are more successful for this reason. Trust yourself first, but also surround yourself with others you know you can trust. 3. Know what you don’t know (then learn it) Never be afraid to learn and ask questions. Although admitting you have a lot to learn and asking questions may be seen as signs of weakness in the U.S., in reality, even the most successful entrepreneurs are always learning and acquiring new skills. We constantly see them starting new ventures, investing in We constantly see them starting new ventures, investing in startups and running non-profits. They see a “next level” in everything they do and have the will to reach it. Make time to learn almost every day. I’ve always attended night classes, and still do to this day. I’ve taken classes on everything from finance to real estate, preferably taught by other entrepreneurs who’ve been in my shoes. It’s made me realize how much I still have to learn about running a business. You can’t learn it all, but that doesn’t mean it’s a pointless endeavor. Accept that you and your business are a constant work in progress, and that life itself is a learning process.  Know what you don’t know, then go learn it. 4. Practice patience With learning also comes patience. Don’t expect things to happen overnight. We always think things will happen faster than they’re going to, and it sets us up for disappointment. It took time for me to fully understand that. When I started CrownTV, we thought each person we called would immediately want to schedule a meeting to see our product. We knew they were in need of a more modern solution and were using archaic systems, and we were confident we could fill that need. However, we quickly found out that how we pitched our solution wasn’t appealing to prospects, and we weren’t presenting the right points. We had to redefine our pitch, emails and overall strategy. There was a steep learning curve until prospects actually returned our calls and emails and were interested in learning more. Being patient and allowing ourselves to make mistakes was crucial in getting to that point. At the beginning, you think your product will sell as soon as you have a website and prospects, but if that were true there would be no failed businesses. It’s OK to be eager, but try to channel that hunger into learning and patience, which are virtues in both entrepreneurship and life. This article originally appeared on BusinessCollective.

Fox News Twitter Gets Hacked

Fox News' Twitter Gets Hacked Fox News' Twitter Gets Hacked Independence Day brought some fireworks to the Fox News’ twitter account early Monday morning. An, as-of-yet, unknown hacker, “sent out several malicious and false tweets claiming that President Obama had been assassinated,” according to the most recent Foxnews.com article.  The article also states that that the secret service will follow up especially diligently because of the nature of the tweets. So, how does this tidbit of news apply to you and your job search? Take it as a small reminder that you are your web presence, particularly when you are job hunting. Here are some quick tips so that you, unlike Fox News, will not be misrepresented online. Be aware of your web trail - meaning, know what it says about you. Google yourself often. Set up alerts. If you can find it, so can a potential employer. Mind your personal brand - even if you are not hacked, an indiscretion could keep you from getting a job. Or in some cases (Congressman Weiner…) or even get you fired.   Don’t let a Twitter misfire assassinate your chances at   new career.

In other words, think of yourself and your job search as a business owner might. Thinking like a business owner can significantly accelerate your success no matter if you’re unemployed, misemployed or looking to make a move into a better opportunity.So, how can you think like a business owner even if you’re not one and don’t ever plan to be?1. Look at the hiring decision from their perspective Business owners expect a return on their investment. A company will invest $50K, $100K, or even more in you in the form of annual compensation. Not surprisingly, they expect to get a return on that investment. You expect regular paychecks, challenge, opportunity â€" they expect you to be productive and help them make money.Put yourself in the owner’s shoes â€" if you owned the business what would be important to you? Shift your thinking from WIIFM (what’s in it for me) to WIIFT (what’s in it for them). When creating resumes and practicing interview answers, showcase the talents and skills you have that would most benefit the business.2. Know how you impact the bottom lineBusiness owners are always focused on the bottom line. What results or outcomes will the company experience because you work there? Employers don’t care about the tasks you perform as much as what happens as a result of you performing them. You’re either saving the company money or helping them make more of it. It’s important for you to be clear about your contribution. Highlight these results during interviews or even one-on-ones with your manager.A few ideas on how you may have contributed to the bottom line: Solved a pressing problem Improved operational efficiency Eliminated bottlenecks Increased sales or cut costs Enhanced customer loyalty Opened new markets Concepted new products that make the company more competitive 3. Own your accomplishmentsBe proud of the work you’ve done and tell your story effectively. No one else would have tackled that project or saved the company money the same way you did. You’re the hero of the story and you saved the day. Own it and let the right people know about the impact you made. If you don’t promote yourself, no one else will.Develop 5-10 stories about your accomplishments â€" the problem at hand, actions you took to solve it and the results you achieved. Tip: Keep a file of stories and add to it every time you have an accomplishment â€" while it’s fresh in your mind. That way, next time you’re in a job transition you won’t have to start over.4. Treat their business like it’s your ownBusiness owners will invest their time, money, heart and soul into their company. Show an employer that you understand their business needs, and that your investment into the company will lead to mutual gains. Prove that you’ll be a good steward of what’s most impo rtant to them. If you do this, you’ll stand head and shoulders above everyone else who is interviewing for the same position, but who are more focused on themselves rather than the business needs.You’ll land the job fast, and you’ll make an impression that garners you favor when there’s a promotion opportunity.
