With a new year rolling around, many people begin to feel inclined to start their long-awaited job hunt. We’re here to explain to you why you should get a jump start now… at the greatest time of the year for hiring opportunities!

Primarily, the “newness” of the year, entailing refreshed budgets, sales forecasts, new endeavors, or projects allows for many organizations to be able to expand and implement new hiring opportunities. For this reason, it would be highly beneficial for you to stay updated on a list of companies which pique your interest as potential employers. If they appear to be expanding a certain sector of their business that you are interested in, get your foot in the door as soon as possible!

How To Get Started . . .

• Start as early as possible, and Network! Take advantage of the holiday season and new year celebrations by appreciating being surrounded by a network of supportive family and friends. This is a great time to begin asking whether these people are aware of future company expansions, job opportunities, or any contacts to help you get a head start.
• Begin Prioritizing: It’s easy to get caught up in long lists of companies, different job titles, and roles, responsibilities, or several other aspects that new career or job entails. To avoid getting distracted, begin by creating a list of “desires” you have in your new job. Whether this focuses on location, specific roles, company size, or culture, understanding your priorities will allow you to narrow in on your job hunt much more quickly.
• Take time to Refresh and Reboot: Yes, we’re talking about your resume and social media platforms! Is your resume polished, and updated with all of your most relevant experiences? Is your LinkedIn page organized? Is your profile picture professional? There is no better time to refresh all of your professional resources than during the relaxing holiday season!
• Cover Letter: On the same note as above, we encourage you to set aside a few hours to craft a cover letter that will showcase your motivation, dedication, and enthusiasm to any new company you apply to. Remember, avoid sounding generic, uninterested, or impersonal.
• Align Your References: Just as you are hopefully experiencing a bit of a work-free relaxation, so are those who you will reach out to as professional references. Take advantage of this “free time” to reach out and request a letter of reference far ahead of when you’ll need it

When to Apply?

We want to encourage you to wait a couple of days or even a week to apply to a new position during the beginning of the year. Our reasoning for this stems from a common understanding that it does, in fact, take some time for companies to get back into their regular routines. Be mindful of this time-window, and extra aware of new job postings and updates on the company websites or other resources.

• Extra tip: If the company you are interested in does not post job applications directly on their website, try checking out other channels such as indeed.com, monster.com, or LinkedIn!

It is perfect timing to apply to new jobs… so what are you waiting for? Check out our open jobs list today!

With any professional career comes the necessity to adapt to an ever-changing environment, both in regards to your surroundings and external factors. It’s is crucial to be aware of some of the most common changes that you will encounter, as your reaction may very well set you apart from the rest of your coworkers. Keep reading to find out about some of the most frequently occurring changes within firms that will affect you and your responsibilities.

• New Boss: It is likely that, at some point, you will be faced with a new supervisor or direct report. Regardless of who this person is, it is highly important to conduct an analysis of their behavior, personality, and attributes right away. By doing so, you will be able to compare yourself and identify similarities and weaknesses. Playing on those similarities and complementary qualities will aid you in creating a healthy, strong relationship right away!
• Promotion: We hope that each of you will be able to experience the excitement that comes with being promoted at some point in your career! Upon achieving this goal, make sure to quickly assess your new responsibilities so that you can stay ahead of the game. It is also crucial to use this time to identify changes in regards to who you will be working with. Begin creating those new relationships as soon as possible. You may even benefit from conducting a job shadow or meeting with the person who previously held the position beforehand.
• Culture Shift: If the company you are working for is reconstructing their culture or atmosphere, it is worthwhile for you to conduct a reflection of how your preferred methods match up with the new environment. While it is easy to feel adverse to change and try to avoid it, we highly encourage you not to do so! If you have questions about changes, reach out to managers, supervisors, or even coworkers. You are a key component of your firm and deserve to be included in any organizational shifts.
• Physical Relocating: This change may come in two forms: your own position relocating, or the entire company moving to a new location or building. Be aware of this and try to gauge the chance of this happening during your interview process to make sure that you are not faced with any unforeseen surprises. 
• Layoffs or Downsizing: An inevitable fear of any professional is the chance of their organization initiating layoffs or being forced to downsize. Always be conscious of warning signs, pay attention to the company’s overall performance, forecasts, and strategic plans. If the firm seems to be losing revenue or decreasing sales, this may be an indicator to start searching for a new position. However, if you are ever faced with a layoff or are a victim of downsizing, know that you are among millions of others and you will get back on your feet!
• Accquisitions: The company you are employed by may eventually be acquired by another, or may acquire another one. Either way, with these changes comes the chance of combining similar departments, creating new workforce teams, and relocating. Opportunities like these can also be foreseen by conducting research consistently and staying in-the-know about your company’s plans.

These are just some of several changes at work that could affect your day-to-day role, responsibilities, or obligations. Make sure to be aware of various environments that will encourage different types of changes. Always make sure to keep an open mind, as some of the most daunting changes conjure the greatest results!

We know the uncomfortable feeling that comes with initiating change, especially if you are new to your position or company! However, we have some tips in store for you that will help you to do so in the most graceful way possible, ultimately allowing you to achieve your ideal results. Learn more about them here…

• Adopt a “You-View”: Remember, you are the salesman and your own greatest cheerleader, so you must be able to convince others to think the same way as you have. There’s no better way to do so than by clearly outlining the benefits for others that your change initiates. By adopting a “you view” and shaping the premise of your argument around the positive components to others, you are much more likely to convince people of your ideas.
• Be Creative: Before presenting an idea to a co-worker, team, or boss, make sure to be able to visualize the idea and convey it in several different ways so as to be confident in reaching your audience. Whether this is through email, phone call, slide deck, or another channel, be creative and flexible in how you present information!
• Know that it’s Not Personal: It is easy to take offense to those who may not agree with your own idea, but it is crucial that you remember, in business nothing is personal! Negative feedback is not a reflection on you as a person. 
• Be Patient: It is vital to be conscious of your own level of patience. It is unlikely that your change will sell to the whole team or become implemented overnight, so remember to wait out the outcome instead of becoming anxious. Good things come to those who wait!
• Maintain a Positive Attitude and Tone: No matter how many people may get you down, always maintain a positive presence. Not only will this showcase your confidence, but will convince others to become more positive as well.
• Encourage Feedback: The chance that every aspect of your idea will go over well with your department is slim to none. So, be open and encouraging of feedback from coworkers, mentors, or supervisors! A critique does not mean that your idea will not pass but is instead a way to make it all the more strong.
• Suggest Compromise: Especially during team or group projects and presentations, it is extremely valuable to exhibit an attitude built on a willingness to compromise. This will allow other people in your group to feel more valued and ultimately become more willing to accept your change.
• Expect Resistance: There is no greater way to prepare for an idea presentation that by expecting people to react negatively to change. Many people become stuck in their own routines, and the thought of changing what is easy seems unattractive. However, attitudes, like ideas, are subject to change! Remember this as you continue to persuade those around you.
• Use Inclusive Language: Be aware of the way you critique current environments or conditions as you suggest change. Instead of using terms such as, “This sucks,” “This doesn’t work at all,” “This always goes horribly,” try using more positive language like, “I enjoy this aspect of ____, but believing changing ___ could benefit,” “I believe that together we can achieve higher success by altering ___.” Initial tone and language are a large determiner in the response you will receive!

Remembering these strategies will allow you to suggest and conduct change with confidence and grace!

One of the greatest ways to show gratitude for yourself… learn how to stay well-rounded while working!

We know the term “career fair” can seem overwhelming or daunting. Picturing an arena filled with hundreds of employers can definitely seem stressful, but it doesn’t have to be! Read here to learn exactly how you should prepare in order to secure your greatest success upon arriving at your career fair. Even better, this article is being written by someone who has first-hand knowledge after attending one this fall!

Before the Career Fair Preparation:

• Do Your Research: If you take one thing away from this post, we hope it is that you absolutely must conduct research on the attending companies beforehand. Not only will this help you navigate the fair and determine which employers you hope to speak to, but it will allow you to stand out. Chances are, each employer speaks to hundreds of students at each fair, so helping them decrease the need to give you their company overview will definitely increase your chance of them enjoying your conversation.
  • Extra Note: To aid your research, many universities provide online platforms that outline exactly which companies are attending and what positions they are offering (i.e. certain internships, full-time positions, etc.). Be aware and proactive in using your resources!
• Practice Your Elevator Pitch: Even if you feel that you will be able to produce an elevator pitch on the spot, we encourage you not to do so. With career fairs come natural nerves, and nerves may lead to filler words, stuttering, stammering, and unprofessionalism when not practiced in advance. Keep your elevator pitch short and sweet, but definitely to the point! Include your year in school, major, potential interests, and if there is time, a short reason as to why you were drawn to the company you are speaking with.
• Gather Your Padfolio: We encourage you to purchase some kind of padfolio if you do not own one already, as this will decrease the materials you are carrying and helps you appear more professional. Within the padfolio, you should print several copies of your resume to hand out to any interested employers. This useful accessory with help you combine a notebook and resume folder all in one! Remember to also bring pens.
• Bring Anything Else You May Need: Whether this is a water bottle, chapstick, snack, perfume, deodorant, or any small item that will help you stay refreshed, bring it. It is completely acceptable to be carrying a small handbag with personal items. However, steer clear of bringing large backpacks!
• Plan an Interview Style Outfit: While career fairs are undoubtedly lower stakes than are professional interviews, we hope that your physical appearance will still treat it as such. Remember that employers prepare in the same way you have, and will likely be standing for around 8 hours to talk to each of you. For that reason, showcase your dedication and care for presentation by dressing in business casual or professional clothing.
• Arrive Early: If you are able, arrive at the career fair as early as possible! By being one of the first people to greet your prospective employers, you will be taking advantage of high energy and eagerness from both ends.
• Walk the Premises: To gauge your environment and gain a general understanding of the career fair layout, we encourage you to walk around the arena before talking to a specific employer. This will increase your level of comfort and ultimately, confidence.

Now that you’re prepared… stay tuned for next Monday’s article…. how to achieve the greatest success during the career fair!

Check out our article to learn how to nail your first impression!

We’ve all been there. It’s the night before the first day of your new job…. the nerves are settling in at rapid speed, and it’s easy to begin feeling anxious. However, don’t fear! We’re here to prepare you for that first day. Read about our key tips here…

Night and Week Before:

• Practice Transportation if Necessary: If your new position requires travel to an unfamiliar area or city, we recommend practicing your route to work beforehand. That way, you won’t run into any commute-related surprises on your first day!
• Elevator Pitch: Especially if you’re working for a new company, it is almost guaranteed that you will be meeting a bunch of new people on your first day. Prepare a casual “elevator pitch” to share with those you meet, think of it as a brief introduction of why you’re there, what you’re doing, and who you are!
• Relaxation: Your next day is nearly guaranteed to be jam-packed, so remember to allow for some relaxation the night before! Whether this means a movie night, meditation, bath, face mask, hearty meal, or even a glass of wine, allow for some self-indulgence.
• Plan out an Outfit: The last thing your morning needs is a scramble of what to wear. Layout any clothing, shoes, or accessories (even if it’s a briefcase) that you plan to wear the next day. This will decrease the time it takes you to get ready the next morning and will also diminish any anxiousness.
• Rest! Any preparation for the company that you have done should be completed by this time. Go to bed at a reasonable hour so that you are fully charged for the next day.
• Set Alarms! Set two! Set three! Set four! Anything you need to do to completely ensure that you will wake up at the exact time you have set.

Morning of:

• Timeliness: First day means… first impressions! There is no easier way to increase your first impression in a positive way than showcasing your preparation by arriving early. Yes, this means getting out of bed earlier than usual, and leaving your home early too! As we’ve said in the past, if you’re on time, you’re late. Trust us, it’ll pay off.
• Take a Lay of the Land: Once you are settled into your desk or office, take a few moments throughout the day to gain a “lay of the land.” How is the building set up, how are positions segregated, how do employees seem to interact with each other and with management? Understanding the social atmosphere of your company will aid you in creating new relationships.
• Be Extra Aware of Attitude and Tone: Walk in with a smile! All of your hard work has paid off and you are finally starting your new job. Look excited, engaged, motivated, and ready to become emerged in your new role. Also, make sure you are using a tone that showcases excitement.
• Be Friendly! We encourage you to make the first move and initiate conversation with those around you. Say “Hi,” ask how people’s day is, and make an effort to meet the people you will be working with. If it helps, plan out some common questions to ask others (conversation starters) beforehand. Everyone loves to feel valued!
• Active Listening: On your first day, remember that you are a sponge! Take in any information offered to you by your supervisor, hiring manager, or co-workers. As a newbie, it will help you immensely to gain any intellect that you can (be cautious of company-specific acronyms).
• Accept Lunch: More times than not, lunch will be offered to you on your first day, or there will be a cafeteria to purchase food in. Take advantage of this time to socialize with new coworkers and become immersed in your new setting! Packing snacks are okay, but try to avoid preparing an entire meal.

With these 12 steps… we guarantee that you will be ready and on track to achieve a highly successful first day!

There are several steps taken on both ends once a job offer is accepted. So, what do you need to know before starting a new position? Find out the most important actions to expect here!

• New Hire Paperwork: We can nearly guarantee that in every single company you will ever work for, you will be required to complete company paperwork. This may be required to complete in-person, online through email, or through an electronic document. 
• Pre-employment Screening: In order for your employer to verify that your claims are true, your history is intact, and your criminal record is clean, you should expect to receive a request for background, “pre-employment” screening. Background checks help your employer to protect its organization, exemplify due diligence, and ensure confirmation of your history. Some screenings to expect include:
  • Social Security Verifications, Tracings
  • Criminal Record Checks (State or County-wide)
  • Public Records Screening
  • Drug Testing
• Education Verification: For students coming out of college, recent graduates, or young adults, it is common that you may be asked to provide confirmation of your education before starting in a new role. Verification of this sort may come by transcripts, phone calls to the University, GPA’s, graduation date or year, etc.
• Employment Verification: Expect to have your previous employers contacted! There are several reasons why an employer would hope to verify your past employment before starting you in their company. They may be confirming or following up on reference letters, the reason for leaving, or eligibility for hire.
  • Extra Tip: Always expect for your reference letters to be checked and contacted! Although they may not be in all cases, it is always better safe than sorry. Maintain certainty that the letter you offer to a future employer will present you as a qualified, valuable employee. This is another reason why it is always important to maintain good relations with past employers!
• Military Service: If you have previously served, it is likely that before starting, your military records will be verified. This often relates to certain benefits and services provided to those eligible.
• W2 Form Submission: An additional document you should expect to submit before beginning employment is a W2 form – a form which will outline your compensation. This form is extremely important as it impacts your taxes, shows your earnings, and is required to be sent to you from your employer come January. Fill this out and confirm the information with care, especially check for employer errors and correct information (spelling of name, address, etc.)!

Pre-employment practices vary between companies, but this general outline of actions should have you prepared to begin any position! Remember, if you ever have questions, reach out to the hiring manager, staff recruiter, or other provided contact. They are there to help you, and you’ve already made it past the hard part!

In the same way that almost any industry adapts to technological advances, work trips and traveling requirements change as well! With the new components and benefits to this aspect of your career, it’s important to know how to do it right! Learn how to make the most of your “vacation” here…

• Be Familiar with Company Policy: Especially if you are applying for a position that requires frequent travel, it is important to look into company policy recovering reimbursement for correlated expenses. Does the organization provide hotel rooms, cars during travel, flight expenses (including baggage), or anything else travel-related? Do your homework so that you never have to find yourself stuff covering expenses you didn’t intend to encounter!
• Be Proactive: It is likely that you will be required to book your own flight and plan out what you need to successfully make it to your destination. Don’t wait until last minute! The earlier you book, the greater chance you have to choose your seat, confirm your travel itinerary, and get ready for your trip.
  • Hotel: In relation to early flight advantages, hotels will be more accessible if planned ahead as well! Look into hotels and their reviews in advance so that you can ensure your most comfortable stay possible and book a desirable room.
• Consider TSA Pre-check: How frequently do you find yourself traveling for work (as well as for pleasure)? If you find yourself leaving home fairly often, it is highly valuable to look into becoming certified for TSA pre-check. This will decrease the guaranteed irritation produced by waiting in security lines for hours on end, and will also minimize your time spent at the airport!
  • Extra Tip: Almost always try to fit everything onto a carry on for minimal day trips! The less checked belongings, the lower the chance of having a bag lost containing clothing, toiletries, or company related materials you may need.
• Plan Ahead! We’ve all been there. Ready and waiting at the airport just to find out that our flight has been canceled at the last minute. Being cognizant of this unfortunate potential will help you be prepared for the worst…bring snacks, any work materials you could get a head start on, a charger for your laptop or cell phone, and anything to help you pass the time and get on the soonest flight.
• Impressing Clients: If part of your travel obligation requires entertaining and impressing a client, look into restaurants and activities in the area! After all, you will likely enjoy the evening as much as your client. Doing some quick research or scanning through a reservation application will help you secure the best meal and evening possible!
• Take Account of Extra Time: If you are afforded the opportunity for some extra hours to relax or explore, research the city you are visiting in advance! Plan out some potential excursions, food stops, or anything to help you enjoy some time to yourself and to take advantage of your mini vacation!

Companies are becoming more and more generous about the reimbursements they provide employees regarding travel expenses. For this reason, traveling for work is becoming more and more enjoyable! Following these tips will help you make the most out of any work traveling experience.

Read our article to learn all about benefits company’s offer and evaluate your own!

Negotiating job offers is an action that employers have grown to nearly expect from their prospective candidates, and one that is not always discouraged. However, there are ways to do so respectfully, and mechanisms to increase your likelihood of success!

• Remember: You Don’t Need to Disclose! We understand how uncomfortable it may feel to assert that you will not disclose your current salary, but doing so may very easily decrease the final salary you are offered. For instance, imagine you disclose your current pay at a rate thousands of dollars below what the company would have expected to compensate you – that ultimate consequence may impact your spending for years to come!
• Wait for Confirmation of Salary Range: Make sure not to jump the gun in this situation, and wait to begin negotiating until you have received a solidified salary range from your employer.
• Maintain Control of the Situation: With 3 easy steps, the Ladder’s Emilie Ares will teach you how to move on from this question in a way that will avoid the awkward atmosphere change – while helping you keep a dominant stance over your negotiation (watch here)!
• Be Aware of Your Tone: The most enticing reason to offer competitive pay stems from how valuable you appear to your future employer. An enormous component of value is personality and delivery! For that reason, always maintain awareness of how you are initiating negotiating conversations.
  • Do: Sound respectful, aware, excited, willing to meet a compromise, open-minded, and politely assertive.
  • Don’t: Sound greedy, condescending, bossy, or entitled.
• Prepare: Before you initiate a negotiation, you must prepare a mental list of reasons as to why you deserve a higher salary, how your qualifications support your opinion, and how potential experiences or offers have contributed to this decision (make sure not to compare to another company! ie: Well Xcompany is offering __, so I want…).
  • Extra Tip: Especially if you are negotiating other aspects of your job like work hours, explain specific reasons as to why other hours may not work for you.
• Self-assess, Express Interest and Commitment: Before taking the steps to negotiate, assess yourself to truly evaluate whether you will accept a final offer at the company you are interviewing for. If so, make sure to express interest and commitment to the position! If it appears that you will not accept a higher offer and are not truly interested, your likelihood of achieving negotiation is far lower.

Read through our article to learn exactly why you should not accept a counter offer!

In an industry of placing candidates in new positions on a daily basis, we understand the fears and anxieties provoked by interviews, and especially the aftermath of interacting with a new boss. Even if you are a veteran of your firm, it is still normal to experience nerves about your boss! However, we hope to calm you down by listing these key strategies to help you relieve your over-thinking habits.

Your Boss Probably Has a Boss Too!

In most settings, your direct supervisor will most likely have a boss of their own. Whether this is the CEO, District Manager, Marketing Head, or any other lead role, there is most likely someone being reported to above your report. Remember, your boss is likely feeling the same nerves that you do, and that their stress may be provoked from higher up positions, not from your sole actions. A small mistake you may write in an email, during a meeting, or through a conversation will rarely be detrimental to your boss’s day, if ever. Don’t overthink small mistakes, and if they are becoming a burden in your mind, set up a meeting and discuss your worries.

Understand Your Actions:

Be honest with yourself! If you’re feeling concerned about how your work is being evaluated, if you are performing well, or if you have in anyway disappointed your boss, it is likely that there may be an underlying concern. Are you distracted from an outside of work source? Are you maintaining a work-life balance? If you feel that your obligations are not aligning with your initial job description, or that you are not holding up your end, evaluate your recent performance. Make sure you are aware of your actions before you correlate them directly with your bosses behaviors; chance are you may be overanalyzing their comments or actions. 

Realize and Channel Sensitivity:

We know this is likely easier said than done… but we highly encourage you to practice differentiating between professional and personal criticism. Putting your greatest effort into a work project will easily generate an emotional tie to your product, however, understand that your manager’s criticism is looking out for your best interest as well as the organization’s! If you truly feel that you are being personally insulted, either initiate a discussion with your boss or talk to a coworker in HR about how to handle the relationship. From past experience, we can almost guarantee you that hurt feelings are a result of miscommunication, not intention!

Make Yourself an Asset:

There is no greater way to truly feel confident in your relationship with your boss than to be confident in your value within the firm. Is your work unique to you? Are you an asset to coworkers, supervisors, and the overall company? Becoming irreplaceable to your organization requires work and dedication, but comes with immense rewards! Make sure to always exude your strongest effort in completing projects, by deadlines, to the best of your abilities, arriving on time to every meeting and event, creating relationships with employees in various departments and across superiority levels, and offering new perspectives that challenge the “status quo.” By initiating these actions, you are sure to be a favorite among your company and a reliable employee.

Open Communication:

Finally, remember the importance of communication! Your boss does not exist to provoke fear, they are put in place to help you reach your greatest potential, stay on task, and increase the success of your company. If you feel uneasy about a situation, conversation, or prior event, set up a meeting to discuss your concerns with your boss. As we’ve said in the past, bottling up emotions will never do any good!

At the end of the day… your boss is just a human… like you!
