<b>“It is a myth that software testing is inferior to development”</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oxHUp5LQjNU/V7QqKTrXqDI/AAAAAAAADrw/6X5NVAcClpkEa_RG5AHHwFlW473vAAW_QCLcB/s1600/test11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="128" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oxHUp5LQjNU/V7QqKTrXqDI/AAAAAAAADrw/6X5NVAcClpkEa_RG5AHHwFlW473vAAW_QCLcB/s320/test11.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<b> </b><br /><br />There are many myths about pursuing a career in software testing - it is not considered a challenging career path, on par with software services in terms of growth and compensation. Let us take a fresh view of what this field has to offer globally - the changing trends in the market, the skill sets required, and the growth and career opportunities that are available to a software test engineer.<br /><b><br />Breaking the first myth</b><br /><br />Most organizations recognize software testing as an independent professional discipline. Software Testing not only brings objectivity and transparency to the defect reporting process, but also improves the core business strategy. Software testing has undergone huge changes due to focus in technology, methodology, and more importantly, business dynamics.<br />Looking at the global trends in the software testing field, we see that the market opportunity for the Indian offshore testing companies is huge. Currently, the Indian software testing industry holds close to 50% of the global outsourced testing market. The Indian market requires almost 35,000 testers to bridge the gap, which will continue to increase to almost 1,65,000 in the year 2013 as per IDC Projections.<br />
<br />With focused development of testing frameworks and solution accelerators, the Indian software industry is all set to consolidate its position as a leading high-end provider of testing services. We not only offer high quality software testing services, we are also capable of conceiving high quality testing solutions. From projects which fielded 3 to 5 test engineers, now we have large teams supporting complex testing projects as a part of their COEs (Centres of Excellence). This brings to light that job opportunities are abundant in the testing scene!<br /><br /><b>Testing as a serious career option</b><br /><br />Once we have broken the myth on job opportunities in the testing field, we now break the second myth that a tester has a limited role to play in the industry. As a career option it is not just open for software professionals but also for professionals from other industry domains, as software testing is not just confined to application testing but covers the whole process of development and quality norms.<br />
<br />According to the Agile principle of early involvement, a software tester is expected to get involved from project inception. Testing activity starts right from the requirements-definition stage. In many organizations today, test driven development is the norm. This increased focus on quality has greatly increased the scope of testing activity. Testing has become a serious career option for software engineers. In fact a fresher or someone with 2-3 years of experience might eventually find testing to be the fastest way to gain domain expertise. Testing is now compared at par with other IT services in terms of revenue for companies.<br />
<br />Apart from a great career that includes growth and compensation at par with others in the industry; you will get multiple opportunities to work on a wide spectrum of domains and technologies. Software testing professionals have many interesting options today to design their career path based on individual preferences. If you specialize in a particular kind of testing, you can grow as a test architect; focusing on technical testing. Alternatively, you can specialize on a domain and become a functional expert. You also have the option to get into ground-breaking areas such as professional games testing and mobile device testing.<br />
<br />A fresher who enters the industry as a test engineer, can choose the testing line or else move towards the quality assurance line where he can become QA lead and then QA manager. A typical career path for a professional tester would unfold as a junior test engineer, test engineer, test analyst, test lead, QA manager, followed by program manager/COE head.<br /><br /><br /><b>Software testers are professional investigators:</b><br /><br /><br />With greater clarity on job opportunities and career path, we also break another myth that Software Testing professionals “don't get involved in high-end and challenging work” or that software testers’ are not as “cerebral” as their counterparts in software development. “With the lines between development and testing blurring, a test engineer is no longer considered as someone good at clicking a button on the application’s user interface. There are many more activities and skills expected from a test engineer” says Ramana.<br />Software testing as an activity is most effective and beneficial when it moves away from being reactive towards being proactive. That’s why we can say Software testers are professional investigators. As a test engineer, you play an important role in ensuring that the final software application or product meets the desired quality standards (and the success or failure of the application or product largely depends on its quality).<br /><br />So a tester needs to have excellent Communications skills, Technical skills, Leadership qualities and Analytical / Judgement skills. He or she must develop out of the box and critical thinking, be creative and strive for excellence. They should have the ability to communicate well to a diverse group of people together with confidence and passion towards the field. Technical skills would need to be supplemented with good domain knowledge. This includes an ability to write code, good understanding of systems and application architecture, and knowledge of databases.<br /><br />There are many open source testing tools (for test automation, performance testing, data validation, etc.). Getting familiar with these tools and with their basics is mandatory, as sooner or later you will need to use them. Understanding terms like TDD, Agile testing, Risk & Model based testing, Customer experience testing, Security testing, Performance testing and Performance fine tuning, etc are important. Developing a basic understanding of the key activities in domains like Banking, Financial Services, Insurance and Telecom, among others, will allow you to enhance test effectiveness. So it is important to take exams and get certified in these domains as well.<br />So if you have a critical, investigative mind, a strong technical background, and an ability to communicate and connect with people, then a career as a Software Testing Professional awaits you!<br />

Sometime within the next few days, you'll be sitting down at a table and engaging in a negotiation with potentially high stakes. While you'll be making a case for a salary increase, the person across from you will be playing her hand with the best interests of the company in mind.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px 0px 20px; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
No matter what happens during the process, remember that you aren't alone. Salary negotiation is an art and a science that's been practiced in the civilized world for thousands of years. If you need help or have questions, get them resolved before you begin the process. Don't wait until you're sitting at the table trying not to look flustered. And remember, once you a strike a deal, you've set a precedent and assigned a specific value to your work. At the same time, your employer will have clarified how much or how little your work means to the company. Use this information as your decide whether to stay with this employer or look elsewhere.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px 0px 20px; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
Under the best of circumstances, you'll walk away feeling like you've come out ahead, dollar-wise. But negotiating a salary isn't like buying a car. The two participants don't shake hands and part ways once this transaction is over. Instead, they ideally move forward into a functional, ongoing relationship on which both of them depend for mutual success.</div>

Negotiating a Pay Raise: Considerations for the Employee</h3>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px 0px 20px; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 16pt;">1. Stay confident. You're just one person, and you'll be going toe-to-toe against an entire institution. But don't let that rattle you. You aren't begging for a handout like Oliver Twist. You're offering your talent, your skills, and your time in exchange for a fair price. Know that you have other options. Even during this bleak economy, there are plenty of other employers who would be happy to bring you on board and pay you what you're worth. Keep this in mind throughout the entire process.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px 0px 20px; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 16pt;">2. Careful research can help you with item 1. Find out exactly what other companies are paying in your area, and find out what the same job brings in from employers outside your industry. Head for the internet well in advance of the meeting and start searching.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px 0px 20px; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16pt;">3. Measure the data you gathered in item 2 against your track record in this position. An average employee in this geographic area and this business may make $40,000 per year. But are you an "average employee?" Probably not. Be ready to </span><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16pt;">prove it</span><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16pt;"> with a clear record of your contributions, and a list of the ways in which you've shown higher-than-average levels of talent and dedication.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px 0px 20px; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 16pt;">4. Keep a cool head. We always gain slight advantage during a negotiation when we can afford to stay impersonal and dispassionate about the outcome.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px 0px 20px; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 16pt;">5. If you can, let the employer speak first. Her opening bid will set the tone for the entire process, and her opening bid may place the odds in your favor.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px 0px 20px; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 16pt;">6. What does your employer know about your life and personal ambitions? If she's smart, she'll be factoring these things into the discussion. For example, if you're ambitious and gunning for a senior position, she may remind you that this company offers more room for growth than their competitors do. And she may make offers designed to keep you happy while keeping the final salary number in check. If you're willing to accept an adjusted benefits package in lieu of a higher salary, she may propose this as a solution (or you may suggest it.) The same applies to a change of title, an increase in status, a nicer office, more flexible hours, or a better parking arrangement. If you aren't interested in alternative benefits, stay focused and steer the conversation back to your salary.</span></div>

</h4>
<br />
<b>1. Can any job-seeker negotiate a job offer?</b><br /><br />The short answer is that every job-seeker — from entry-level to executive — has the option to negotiate a job offer.That said, salary negotiation is much more common with professional positions and at higher levels.But any job-seeker has the power to request a better job offer — as long as that request is supported by evidence showing why s/he should be paid more.<br /><br />We know of entry-level job-seekers who have requested — and received a higher hourly wage of $.50 to $1 more an hour, which seems small, but adds up quickly (especially when you consider future raises will be based on starting pay).<br /><br />We also know executives who negotiated tens of thousands of dollars more in annual pay, bonuses, and other compensation.<br /><br />A few employers simply will not negotiate on salary — but even these employers are open to negotiating other parts of the job offer, such as relocation costs, tuition reimbursement, vacation time, healthcare options, pension options, and more… See more in Salary FAQ #9.<br /><br /><b>2. How do I know my market value to prospective employers?<br />Research.</b><br /><br />Understanding your value in the employment marketplace — including in your current organization — is critical information you should have at your fingertips.<br /><br />You may think you need or deserve a certain salary — but no employer cares about your wants and needs. What employers WILL listen to is evidence of your value — proof that validates your salary request.<br /><br />You can gather research on your value from multiple sources. <br /><br /><b>3. Since I don’t like confrontation and conflict, should I even bother with salary negotiation?</b><br />
<br />We’ve never thought of salary negotiation as confrontation — but we do understand the notion of not enjoying haggling.<br /><br />Why doesn’t an employer just offer the best possible salary and be done with it? Of course, sometimes they do their best… but it all comes down to budgets and limited resources and a desire to get the best deal.<br /><br />What should you do — especially if you dislike the process? Do it anyway. If you don’t like the process, conduct your salary negotiation in writing (see Salary FAQ #20).<br /><br />Here are the main reasons you should negotiate the salary you deserve (or get as close to it as possible):<br /><br />Future raises will be based on your initial salary, so you will continue to earn less than your market value for as long as you stay with that employer.<br />Pension and 401K contributions are often based on your salary, so the smaller your salary, the smaller the contribution to your retirement funds.<br />Future employers may ask for a salary history — and some will base their salary offer on what you are earning at your current employer.<br />Your mental well-being and attitude can be seriously dragged down by feeling undercompensated, undervalued — which could eventually affect your performance.<br /><br /><b>4. I don’t even know the salary/pay for the job I am seeking. Should I ask about it before I go on an interview?</b><br />For job-seekers, information and knowledge are always key to a successful job-search, but if you don’t know the pay, do NOT contact the hiring manager because you’ll be seen as ignorant at best, and overly focused on money at worst.<br /><br />You should have some idea of what a prospective employer pays employees in the same or similar positions to the one you are seeking — otherwise you are wasting both your time and the time of the prospective employer.<br /><br />Your options are to conduct research to uncover the salary/pay information or call the HR (human resources) department of the organization. Contacting HR should be a last resort. It’s much better to use your network or dig via the Web to find at least a ballpark figure of what to expect.<br />
<br /><b>5. When is the best time for job-seekers to bring up salary in a job interview?</b><br />Never early in the process; rarely in the first interview. The only possible exception to this rule is for sales positions, as employers want to hire people who will aggressively close deals.<br /><br />In subsequent interviews, experts are split about the best method for dealing with salary.<br /><br />The old rule was that the job-seeker should NEVER raise the subject until the employer makes the first move, usually by asking a question such as, “what kind of salary are you expecting?”<br /><br />But salary guru Jack Chapman suggests the rules have changed, stating that the first person to mention salary wins. By stating your desired salary first (assuming it is within the salary range the employer is willing to offer), you stand a greater chance of receiving it or something just below it than if you wait for the employer to offer a lower salary — forcing you to work at justifying something higher and closer to your desired salary level.<br /><br />The best advice is to use your judgment based on the job you seek, the employer’s reputation, and the feel of the interview. If you sense you are the top candidate — the best candidate — be proactive in about the salary you seek. If you are unsure, it’s probably best to play it safe and wait for the employer to make the first move.<br /><br /><b>6. How should job-seekers handle salary history requests from prospective employers?</b><br />Unless you want to have your application discarded, you have to provide it.<br /><br />Most job-seekers do not want to provide this information because most of us are not the best salary negotiators and often feel underpaid — and we want to break the trend by receiving a salary based on our value, not on what we have been paid.<br /><br />Having your salary history gives employers a strong upper hand in salary negotiations, which may result in your again being underpaid.<br /><br />How can you break the cycle? First, don’t rely on job postings. Instead, use your network to get insider information on job openings and apply directly to the hiring manager. Second, disclose your salary history, but also state your salary requirements (based on your market value). Third, state that your salary history is confidential and you will only disclose the information to the hiring manager — but know that by not disclosing, you will probably be screened out.<br /><br />Never lie about your salary history, but do include your total compensation — which may include salary, bonuses, and other incentives.<br /><br /><b>7. What’s the best way to respond to a salary requirement request from a prospective employer?</b><br />Salary requirement requests, like a salary history requests, is a tool employers use to either screen out job-seekers (those requesting either too little or too much) or to gain an upper hand in eventual salary negotiations.<br /><br />We don’t see much harm in a salary requirement — because if the employer is unwilling to pay you your market value, it would be a massive waste of your time and energy to go through the entire process and receive a low-ball offer.<br /><br />But — and this piece of advice is critical — you MUST have an accurate idea of your market value. (See Salary FAQ #2.)<br /><br />Your best response is to provide a salary range to the employer, starting with your salary floor (the minimum salary you would accept) and continuing to a higher level. (“Per your request, and based on my research, I expect a salary in the range of $45,000-$55,000.”)<br /><br />There are other options, but these may or may not screen you out since you are not directly answering the employer’s request: First, suggest you know the employer pays competitive wages (thus praising the organization but not giving it an upper hand). Second, state that your salary is flexible and negotiable. Third, state that you prefer to discuss salary in the interview.<br /><br /><b>8.When should a job-seeker begin negotiating salary?</b><br />In all honesty? Before you even start job-hunting. Why? Because good salary negotiation requires knowing your market value and an understanding of the jobs you are desire and are qualified for.<br /><br />You should also consider every aspect of contact with the employer — emails, phone calls, interviews, company visits/tours — part of salary negotiation because as you are building your case for being hired, you should also be subtly building your case for the salary you seek. Acting professionally and showcasing your personal brand will not only get you the job offer, but should also help you achieve the offer you seek.<br /><br />In terms of actually negotiating your salary or job offer, you should only do so once the offer is on the table — and only after you have had time to digest it. Once you receive the offer, thank the employer and express your enthusiasm, then request time to consider it.<br /><br />Once you’ve had time to consider the entire package (salary, other compensation, benefits), then — and only then — should you enter negotiations, which can be done in person, via phone, or by email. To learn how to negotiate at this stage, see Salary FAQ #19.<br /><br /><b>9.Why should I even bother reviewing the benefits of a job offer?</b><br />While salary and other compensation are very important, how a prospective employer handles benefits can make or break a great job offer.<br /><br />Employers offer many types of benefits, but the key ones to review are health insurance, life insurance, pensions, and vacation days.<br /><br />Probably the biggest consideration for job-seekers these days is health insurance. Most employers offer healthcare coverage as a perk to full-time employees, but the key elements to examine include the extent of the coverage and how much the organization contributes to its cost. You could actually end up with a lower net salary when you factor in how much you have to pay for healthcare.<br /><br />Life insurance is another fairly standard benefit — and often extended to not just the employee but also to family members. Again, examine how much the company contributes to the life-insurance premium.<br /><br />The days of big corporate pension plans are long over, but many organizations do offer a 401k or IRA plan to help employees save for retirement. Review how much the employer contributes and whether the organization matches employee contributions.<br /><br />Finally, examine vacation and personal-day policy. Taking time away from work — no matter how much you love your job — is essential to mental health. How much time will you get on joining, how will it accrue as you advance within the organization, and can you carryover time from one year to the next.<br /><br />For salespeople and others who travel for business, the other consideration to review is compensation for car travel — whether you receive a company car or get reimbursed for personal vehicle use.<br /><br />Besides these major benefits, other benefits that could be part of your compensation package include: disability insurance, profit-sharing, stock options, relocation and moving expenses, tuition reimbursement, dependent care, and club memberships.<br /><br /><b>10.How should a job-seeker respond when the interviewer asks about salary expectations?</b><br />This is a tricky one for job-seekers, and it partly depends when the interviewer asks you the question.<br /><br />If it’s at the beginning of an interview — especially a screening interview — then the question is not as much about negotiating salary as it is about whether your expectations are within the employer’s salary range. Your answer, of course, should fall within that salary range. You can also provide a rough salary range that you know falls closely within the employer’s salary range. If you have not done salary research, your best answer is to say something like, “I’m looking for a competitive salary, which I know your company offers its employees.”<br /><br />If the question comes later in the interview — and especially in a second or subsequent interview — then the question takes on much more importance, and you should be prepared to have your salary-negotiation hat on. At this point, you should have a few salary numbers in your head — including the minimum salary you would accept, as well as your ideal salary. If you’re confident in your standing, respond with the ideal salary. If you’re not as confident, pick a number between your ideal and your minimum. Remember that the employer will NOT negotiate higher, so it’s always better to start the negotiation at a higher number in case the employer has a lower salary in mind.<br /><br /><br /><b>11. I’ve been underpaid by my current employer and worried that the trend will continue with my next employer. How do I avoid this happening?</b><br />By the amount of emails we receive from workers and job-seekers, you would think the vast majority of us are underpaid — and it’s certainly possible many of us are.<br /><br />You can attempt to break the cycle of being underpaid — and help secure yourself a better future — by conducting thorough salary research and knowing your market value.<br /><br />But knowing your market value is not enough — you have to be able to document that value, not only through salary studies and other documentation but also through your previous workplace accomplishments (focusing on revenue generation, cost savings, and the like).<br /><br />If the prospective employer knows your previous salary history, your battle will be even harder, but there’s no harm in documenting your market worth… regardless of your previous pay levels.<br /><br /><b><br />12. If I receive a job offer that seems perfect, do I need to do anything more than simply accept it? </b>What’s wrong with saying yes right there in the interview?<br />Well, of course, if it really is the perfect offer with the perfect employer, you could accept it on the spot, but it’s always best to take time and reflect on the offer — and make sure you know all the details of the offer, including compensation and benefits.<br /><br />You should graciously thank the employer for the job offer, then ask about getting the details in writing (which should automatically grant you some time). If the offer is already in writing, then request a few days to review the details.<br /><br />All reasonable employers understand the complexity of these situations and are willing to grant you the time. In fact, some employers might view you as rash and impulsive if you don’t take the time to carefully review the offer.<br /><br />Just make sure you reply with your answer (unconditional yes or with a counteroffer) in the allotted time period.<br /><br /><br /><b>13.How should a job-seeker handle an employer who demands an immediate answer to a job offer?</b><br />Walk away. Better, run away.<br /><br />Employers who demand an immediate answer from you are trying to bully you into a decision — a decision that should be evaluated when you have a clear head and not in the moment of excitement about getting the offer.<br /><br />This employer — and the one in the next FAQ — are the worst.<br /><br /><br /><b>14. Why is getting an offer in writing so important? And what should I do if the employer refuses to provide the offer in writing?</b><br />The biggest reason to get a job offer in writing is so that you can review all the details. Most hiring managers, for example, can tell you the salary and provide an overview of the benefits, but it’s unlikely s/he’ll know all the details about co-pays and vacation time, and when the health insurance kicks in.<br /><br />Having the offer in writing gives you the information you need to determine if the offer is one you want to accept, negotiate, or reject.<br /><br />Just as with the previous FAQ, if the employer refuses to put the offer in writing, walk away because you’ll probably have many more headaches and heartaches to follow. Employers who refuse to put an offer in writing are hiding something… or perhaps just plain lazy or sloppy.<br /><br /><br /><b>15. I just received a better job offer than the one I accepted a few days ago. Can I rescind my acceptance of the first offer and accept the second one?</b><br />Of course you can, but you are treading on thin ethical ice. You made a commitment to the employer and if you retract your acceptance, your name may be mud within your industry and town. You never want to burn bridges as a job-seeker — because you never know when doing so will come back to haunt you.<br /><br />If you are participating in job interviews with multiple organizations, and you receive a job offer that is acceptable — but not from your ideal employer — request as much time as possible to consider it. See more information in Salary FAQ #18.<br /><br /><br /><b>16. Do all employers negotiate salary?</b><br />No. Some employers adhere to strict salary guidelines for hiring, while others simply offer the best salary possible. Either way, these employers will not negotiate salary.<br /><br />That said, these employers (and most others as well) will typically be open to negotiating other aspects of the offer, such as vacation time, bonuses, and other benefits.<br /><br /><br /><b>17.I received two job offers from different employers. How do I choose the best offer?</b><br />Lucky you! Nice job!<br /><br />Some job-seekers would immediately accept the offer with the higher salary — and there is nothing wrong with doing so, but it makes sense to review all aspects of a job offer — as well as a few other intangibles, such as the reputation and culture of the organizations, room for personal and professional growth, and the like.<br /><br />Assuming both organizations and offers are similar — and you would be equally happy working at either of them, then we suggest a very simple model of putting the offers side-by-side, comparing the details, and weighing the results.<br /><br /><b>18.I received a job offer from one company, but I really want to wait to see if I get an offer from my dream employer. What are my options?</b><br />You basically have two strategies you can enact — one for the company that made the offer and one for your dream employer.<br /><br />For the company that made you the offer: As all job-seekers should do with any job offer, after thanking the employer for the job offer, request to get it in writing — and ask for enough time to review the details. Most employers will give you a few days, especially over a weekend.<br /><br />For the dream employer: As soon as you have the offer from the first company, contact the hiring manager from the dream employer and provide an update, prefacing the news with something like, “I am not trying to change your process… it’s just that I know my expertise and experience are a great fit for you — and I know I can hit the ground running and get great results… but I have received a very attractive job offer from another organization and I only have so much time to give them an answer. Do you have any idea when you folks plan on making a decision?”<br /><br />If it works out and the dream employer comes through with an offer — no harm, no foul. But do remember to still put the offers side-by-side to make sure the dream employer’s offer is what you really want. (See Salary FAQ #17).<br /><br />If the dream employer will not budge, you have to make the decision whether to take the offer on the table or decline it and wait for the dream employer to complete its interviewing process. We strongly oppose taking the offer from the first employer on false pretenses, jumping ship to the dream employer if it eventually makes you an offer. (See Salary FAQ #15.)<br /><br /><br /><b>19. What is the best strategy for job-seekers who want to negotiate salary? In other words, how do I successfully negotiate a better offer?</b><br />First a caveat: There is always some level of danger in an employer retracting its offer if it is offended by your negotiation tactics… so proceed carefully.<br /><br />Most hiring managers typically make the strongest offer to job-seekers — after the long process of finding the ideal candidate, the goal is to hire that person.<br /><br />That said, there are often items overlooked in the offer process that can be fixed through salary negotiation.<br /><br />The key to successfully negotiating a better job offer is to carefully pick the one or two elements of the offer that you want to improve. Do not thank the employer for a great job offer and then present a 10-point counter-proposal that basically rips apart the original offer. (Amazingly, the job-seeker was stunned when the employer pulled the entire job offer.)<br /><br />Here is where, again, the depth of your research will pay off for you. In making your case to the employer, focus on industry, professional, and local data. Showing an employer data that a person with your education, training, and years of experience should have a salary in a different range than the offer will go much farther than telling the employer you simply must have — or need — to have a higher salary.<br /><br />Use any network contacts you have within the organization to also gain insights into its policies regarding salary and benefits. For example, we know one organization that starts ALL employees with two weeks of vacation for the first year, and then compensates for years of experience in the following year.<br /><br />To summarize how best to negotiate a better offer:<br /><br />Thank the employer for the offer<br />Use insider information to help you decide what to negotiate<br />Chose just a few items of the offer to negotiate<br />Use hard data to justify your request<br />Always be professional and courteous during the process.<br />How you negotiate is up to you — see the next Salary FAQ.<b> </b><br />
<b>20.Can I make a counter job offer by email, or do I have to do it in person or by phone?</b><br />Choose the method that is most comfortable to you.<br /><br />Some people like negotiating over the phone or in person — usually these are the folks who are good talkers and enjoy negotiating.<br /><br />Others do their negotiating in writing — feeling more comfortable negotiating with the written word. <br /><br />Whichever method you choose, remember that the key to successful negotiation is to know what you want, prove that you deserve it, and ask for it professionally.<br /><br />Final Thoughts on Salary Negotiation<br /><br />The time to negotiate salary (and other parts of the job offer) is when you are in a position of greatest power — right after the job offer has been presented to you. Once you accept the offer, you cannot go back and ask the employer to make changes. Remember to enter your next job-search with the salary number you desire in your head — and your salary research completed.<br /><br /><br />Article By,<br /><br />Dr. Randall S</div>

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Wouldn’t it be fun to be an eccentric billionaire?<br />
<br />
Riding your unicorn, the wind in your yacht, giving away tons of money for the powers of good (and maybe spending some of it on yourself?).<br />
<br />
It could also be fun to be so successful that you have no major money or house worries, and every day you wake up to a job you love.<br />
<br />
Either way, success smells good, doesn’t it? But how do you get there?<br />
<br />
You can read the interwebs and find all sorts of interesting information on what successful people do in the morning, or how they structure their day, or even—wink—the questions that they ask themselves.<br />
<br />
Why the focus on questions? Well, there are many schools of thought on this but if I can borrow from Appreciative Inquiry, one of the reasons that questions are so important is because “words create worlds.”<br />
<br />
What that means is that the questions you choose to ask yourself have a direct impact on the world you create for yourself.<br />
<br />
For instance: Hating your job and spending most of your time asking: “Ugh, how did I get here?” can lead to one type of action. A type that probably involves your couch, wine, and some potato chips.<br />
<br />
Or, you could ask instead: “What interesting job should I pursue next?” That question might create some brainstorming, good feelings, and—gasp—forward momentum. You see where I’m going with this!<br />
<br />
So, what if we could change your career trajectory and make you more successful just by changing your questions? Interesting, right?<br />
<br />
Ready? Let’s do it!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>1. What Does Success Mean to Just Me (and No One Else)?</b><br />
<br />
You know the worst game in the world? Comparing yourself to others (and then immediately feeling bad).<br />
<br />
Sometimes this game is called the “Facebook News Feed.”<br />
<br />
For many people, the knee-jerk reaction to this question is “money” or “position” or something related to money or position.<br />
<br />
But think deeper—what does success truly mean to you?<br />
<br />
I played the “more money, more promotions” type of success card when I was a consultant, and it didn’t make me happy.<br />
<br />
I then played the “I need to be as successful as all of these other major players in my business” card when I became a career coach, and that also did not make me happy. What made me happy and much (much!) more successful in my coaching was to ignore everyone else and define it on my own terms. Ironically, of course, doing this lead to more money and a better position.<br />
<br />
Here’s what’s important: You are unique, wonderful, and special. What makes you happy and proud is different from what makes me happy and proud.<br />
<br />
So before we go any further, let’s start with that: What does success mean to you—and no one else?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>2. What’s One Small Thing I Can Do to Get Closer to This Definition of Success, Today?</b><br />
<br />
You know what sucks? Running a marathon.<br />
<br />
Seriously, running for hours on end at the crack of dawn? That seems like the least amount of fun you can have standing up.<br />
<br />
But running a mile? Or two? And slowly easing into things? Now that sounds interesting. I could do that.<br />
<br />
You see where I’m going with this example. Sure, you can say “I’m totally going to find my passion and change careers this week, yes!” and then immediately start to feel overwhelmed and lost.<br />
<br />
Or, you could say, “I want to find a job that fills me with excitement and energy. I’m going to set aside an hour each week to do some research, read some books, and talk to people. I’m not going to worry about getting to passion this second, I’m just going to focus on making progress.”<br />
<br />
I think it’s so much easier to be happy when you see progress—and when you see progress, you are usually inclined to keep going, leading to more success.<br />
<br />
It’s like a circle of awesome.<br />
<br />
So let’s focus on you: What’s one small thing you can do to get closer to this definition of success?<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>3. What Would the Best Version of Me Do in This Situation?</b><br />
<br />
We’ve all been in situations that are no fun. A bad boss, not getting promoted, not getting the interview or the job, or just feeling like a gigantic pile of failure.<br />
<br />
Sometimes, all you want to do is give up, hide, or scream in the bathroom.<br />
<br />
You aren’t alone.<br />
<br />
But doing that doesn’t make you happy, and it certainly doesn’t make you successful.<br />
<br />
So, the next time you find yourself struggling with a person or situation, or paralyzed by your own career fears, take a deep breath and ask yourself: “What would the best version of me do in this situation? Seriously?”<br />
<br />
And then do that.<br />
<br />
Why? Because you are pretty smart—sometimes all you need is a reminder.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>4. What Was the Good That Happened Today?</b><br />
<br />
I’m not going to quote all of the science behind gratitude at you because I’m sure you’ve heard about it.<br />
<br />
Instead I’ll quote this from Richard Branson: “Right now I’m just delighted to be alive and to have had a nice long bath.”<br />
<br />
Taking time to appreciate the small wins, the little pleasures, and the progress you’ve made is important.<br />
<br />
Ben Franklin used to ask himself “What good have I done today?”—which is another form of the question that I really like. But either way, take a moment to enjoy what you are creating and accomplishing and doing in your life!<br />
<br />
Nothing breeds more success than remembering your success! <br />
<br />
<br />
Yes, these are big (big!) questions and they’re a whole lot easier to skim, than to actually answer. But I can promise you that if you truly take the time to think about your response, you will end up happy and successful.<br />
<br />
Sometimes your career success starts with knowing what you actually want to be when you grow up. Need some help with that? Here’s a fancy-pants free workbook designed to help you find work you love (with all the right questions!).<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
How should you behave when you get there? What if you don’t
have answers to all the questions? How do you make the right impression?<br />
No matter how many years of work experience you have, it’s natural to have a
million questions buzzing through your head. Here, some recruiters and managers
share tips to help get you through that interview with flying colors.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>1. Do Your Homework</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The number one complaint that recruiters have is that people
turn up for job interviews clueless about the company, its top officers, or the
job. Even very senior people make this mistake.<br />
“Understand the organization you are going to for an interview,” says Ramesh
Vaswani, executive vice-chairman of computer accessory-maker Intex Technologies
(India) Ltd.<br />
Look up the names of the company’s top officers, like the chief executive and
the chairman, and especially the person in charge of the department where you
want to work. Study the company Web site. Google news articles on the company,
and make a note of any recent acquisitions, new products launched, or new
directions the company is taking. Where possible, read up on the company’s
financial condition, and look at a recent annual report.<br />
“If you can strategically drop some of these points [in conversation], that
shows you’re very well read and clued in,” says E Balaji, head of Ma Foi
Randstad, a human resource services company.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>2. Rehearse</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ahead of the interview, think through the questions you
might be asked about your current or past job, why you left your previous
position, what you’re looking for in the new job, and what makes you so
suitable for this position.<br />
Don’t forget to prepare for this trick question that recruiters love to
ask.<br />
Write down your answers—that’ll help you remember them—and maybe even rehearse
them aloud. You’ll be more confident at the actual interview.<br />
If you don’t know the answer to a question, say so, politely. For instance, you
can say: I’m afraid I don’t know, but I can get back to you on that. Trying to
fake it usually doesn’t work because experienced interviewers can see through
that.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>3. Be Specific</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When asked about a current or past job, interviewees “spend
a lot of time talking about their organization,” says Mr. Vaswani. While it’s
great if you have worked for a large or well-known company, what’s more
important is what you did there.<br />
“Talk about specific assignments you have handled,” he says. Instead of simply
saying that you were the chief finance officer for your organization, talk
about a target you helped achieve, such as raising millions of rupees of
working capital.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>4. Turn the Tables</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Don’t be a passive interviewee. When you get the
opportunity, ask questions. These can be about the company’s future plans,
growth prospects, or about what is expected of you from the new job and what
growth you can expect at the company.<br />
These questions “convey that you’re seriously growth-oriented,” says Mr.
Balaji.<br />
Be careful, however, to not ask something that you could have found out on the
company’s website.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>5. Go Gentle on a Current or Past Employer</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In general, you want to talk positively about your current
or past employer. Badmouthing your previous employer could leave a bad
impression on a potential new employer.<br />
Find a neutral way to explain challenges you might have faced at the previous
company, or reasons why your career growth required that you move on. If there
was a disagreement with your previous manager, communicate it diplomatically.
You could say “there were strategic differences in our approaches.” Don’t say
you hated your manager.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>6. The Salary Equation</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Experts advise leaving the salary discussion to the very end
of the interview process.<br />
“As a rule, people shouldn’t portray that one is only driven by the money,”
says Mr. Balaji.<br />
Talk about salary only if the interviewer brings up the topic. Be truthful
about what you earn currently, and be prepared to give some idea of what you
expect in the new position.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>7. Manners Count</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Don’t overlook your basic etiquette.<br />
“Arrive on time; not too early, not too late. Either way can send different
kinds of signals,” says Nirmit Parekh, managing director and chief executive
officer of international executive research firm 3P Consultants Pvt. Ltd. in
Mumbai.<br />
If you get there too early, it can show that you have a lot of time to kill.<br />
Switch off your mobile phone before the interview. “Invariably, I’m standing
for a minute because the person is completing a call,” says Mr. Parekh.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>8. What to Wear</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dress appropriately—not too casual, but you needn’t be in a
suit-and-tie either, especially if it’s hot outside. A clean shirt, tie and
trousers are good enough for men. Women can wear a modest Indian outfit, or a
collared shirt and pants.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>9. Body Language</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Body posture, according to me, is extremely important when
you are talking to and meeting a person,” says Mr. Parekh. It immediately gives
away whether the person is confident—or overconfident.<br />
If someone crosses their legs or leans back too casually, you know he’s not
taking this meeting seriously, he adds.<br />
A firm handshake leaves a good impression. Be sure you maintain eye contact
during the interview. If there is more than one interviewer, don’t ignore
anyone.<br />
“A smile is always welcome,” he says.</div>

<b><span style="font-family: "inherit" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;"></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13.5pt; margin: 7.5pt 0in 7.5pt 2.25pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Introduction</b></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13.5pt; margin: 7.5pt 0in 7.5pt 2.25pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Okay, so you have managed to hold your nerves in control and
brave the questions of the HR. You are now at the end of your interview
session. What next? The answer is, there are a few more steps to go. For instance,
the HR person may ask you if you have anything to ask of him/her. How do you
respond to that? It is quite likely that you are stressed out and nothing comes
to your mind. This article deals with this situation and gives you a few
intelligent questions that you may ask.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13.5pt; margin: 7.5pt 0in 7.5pt 2.25pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>The Rationale </b></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13.5pt; margin: 7.5pt 0in 7.5pt 2.25pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">First of all let us try to understand why the HR person puts you
in such a situation. Is he/she simply being nice to you or is there more to it?
One possible reason is that the company wants to project an image of transparency.
The company wants you to know that it encourages two-way communication between
the top management and the subordinates, an atmosphere where everyone can ask
relevant questions and expect to get answers. In other words, the company
respects the employee’s need to know about matters that affect him, no matter
where he is in the hierarchy.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13.5pt; margin: 7.5pt 0in 7.5pt 2.25pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Next, and more important, this situation checks your presence of
mind and ability to form intelligent questions. So far you have been simply
answering questions asked of you. How do you behave when you are in a position
to ask questions? What kind of questions do you ask? It also shows how serious
you are about the company and the job.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13.5pt; margin: 7.5pt 0in 7.5pt 2.25pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Let us get on to some questions now.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13.5pt; margin: 7.5pt 0in 7.5pt 2.25pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Some Useful Questions</b></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13.5pt; margin: 7.5pt 0in 7.5pt 2.25pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Before you set out to ask questions, keep the above reasons in
mind. It would be good to sincerely thank the HR person for such an
opportunity. You can start with something like “I have really enjoyed this
opportunity to meet you and your team at .. (the company name). Yes, there are
a few things I would like to know, thank you for asking” However it is not wise
to ask the HR a volley of questions and turn it into a counter interview.
Consider the questions below and choose one or two from them that you find the
most useful to you.</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sDC95So3k_E/V0lk6X2KX3I/AAAAAAAADb4/OzLfLuywM1wG7prMaXsEsImOh3O4q1TUQCLcB/s1600/boring%2Bjob.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sDC95So3k_E/V0lk6X2KX3I/AAAAAAAADb4/OzLfLuywM1wG7prMaXsEsImOh3O4q1TUQCLcB/s1600/boring%2Bjob.jpg" /></a></div>
<br /><br /><br /><br />Even the most exciting jobs in the world have their boring aspects. (Athletes have to run drills. Brain surgeons have to do paperwork. Etc.) But what if your job is totally boring every minute of every day? <br /><br /><br /><br />The easy answer would be to quit and look for a more interesting job. But if that's not an option right now, here are some things you can do to make that job at least somewhat more bearable. <br /><br /><br /><br />1. Imagine how this job will look on your resume. <br /><br />At some point you will add this position to your resume. What skills or experience will you highlight that could help you take the next step toward your career goal? Whatever they are, whether it's customer service, productivity rate or team support, find ways to achieve recognition in those areas from your current employer. <br /><br /><br /><br />Why does it work? Keeping your eye on the prize and setting goals for those resume-oriented achievements gives your workday a new interest and purpose. (And it never hurts to keep your resume up to date, just in case.) <br /><br /><br /><br />2. Expand your range. <br /><br />Look around, both inside and outside your department, to see if there are ways you could help out co-workers. Ask your supervisor if you could take on tasks or projects not part of your normal duties. <br /><br /><br /><br />Why does it work? You're breaking free of your everyday routine. Plus, showing initiative in learning new skills might pave the way for a promotion. <br /><br /><br /><br />3. Focus on the people. <br /><br />The co-workers around you are not just fellow drones stuck in the machine. They represent an endless array of stories to learn about, hopes and problems to share, and boredom-banishing ideas to brainstorm. <br /><br /><br /><br />Why does it work? Building workplace relationships can be like going to a different movie every day. Added benefit: you'll work better together as a team (as long as the chats don't turn into time-wasting, which will get the boss in your case). <br /><br /><br /><br />So you see, even the most boring job can be made interesting, and even more important, profitable — both in the present and the future. You just have to use it, instead of letting it use you.<br />

<br />
If you’re unemployed and worried that employers will turn you down for taking on unimpressive work during the recession or for the large employment gaps on your résumé—you needn’t panic. A new survey just released by the careers website CareerBuilder.com reveals that the vast majority of employers are sympathetic to such circumstances.<br /><br />The nationwide survey was conducted online by Harris Interactive, on behalf of CareerBuilder, among 3,023 hiring managers and human resource professionals between November 9 and December 5, 2011. Not only does it offer unemployed job seekers some hope, but it also provides tips to help them land a new position.<br /><br /><br />“More than 40% of unemployed job seekers have been out of work for six months or longer,” says Rosemary Haefner, vice president of human resources for CareerBuilder. “There’s a sense that such a long gap on a résumé negatively affects a candidate’s chances, but the survey shows that is not true. That’s very positive news for this group of job seekers. If you fill the gaps with activities and experience that illustrate how you are still developing your skill sets, the overwhelming majority of employers will look past your unemployment and focus on what you can bring to their team.”<br /><br />Eighty-five percent of those surveyed employed reported that they are more understanding of employment gaps post-recession. Ninety-four percent said they wouldn’t have a lower opinion of a candidate who took on a position during the recession that was at a lower level than the one he or she had held previously.<br /><br />But this doesn’t mean you can sit around and wait for a sympathetic employer to offer you work. “The worry is that employers may think job seekers are losing some of their skills because they haven’t been utilizing them. By volunteering, taking temporary work, or signing up for a class that develops your professional tool kit, you show employers that you’ve made the most of your time and will be ready on day one,” Haefner says.<br /><br />Employers and CareerBuilder experts recommended a variety of activities you should engage in to build, expand, and strengthen your skills during period of unemployment, in order to increase your marketability.<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Take a temporary or contract assignment.</b></span><br /><br />Seventy-nine percent would recommend doing this. Why? “The key is to get people to see your work and to see what you’re capable of doing,” says Andy Teach, the author of From Graduation to Corporation: The Practical Guide to Climbing the Corporate Ladder One Rung at a Time. “If you do a great job, even if it’s for a temporary job, whoever hired you is more likely to recommend you for a permanent position.”<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Take a class.</b></span><br /><br />Sixty-one percent of the hiring managers surveyed recommended taking a class during a period of unemployment. “You never stop learning in your career, so the more technical competence you have, the better,” Teach says. “When you take a class in your field, you are also showing that you are serious about your work and that you take initiative.” Another advantage to taking a class: It’s a great networking opportunity.<br /><br /><b><span style="font-size: large;">Volunteer.</span></b><br /><br />Sixty percent of the hiring managers said volunteer work makes you more marketable. “When you volunteer for something, you are telling potential employers something about you as a person,” Teach says. It shows that you are passionate about something and care about helping others—and it demonstrates that money isn’t the most important thing to you, he adds. “When companies are hiring, they are looking not only for people who can get the job done but also for people with character and integrity.”<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br />Start your own business.</b></span><br /><br />Twenty-eight percent suggested doing this—but starting a business can be pricy and time consuming. If you have the means to do it, it’s a great résumé booster and a wonderful marketing tool.<br /><br />“The beauty of having your own business is that you can work part-time or full-time depending on whether or not you are able to land a job working for someone else,” Teach says. “You are also going to learn skills that are transferrable if you do end up working for someone else again.”<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Start a professional blog</b></span><br /><br />Eleven percent of the surveyed employers said a professional blog can be a good way to market yourself to employers. Why? You get people to see you as an expert in your field. “You are also conveying your passion, gaining knowledge, and separating yourself from others,” Teach says. “Potential employers will see you as having taken the initiative during your job search to blog about something you truly care about: your career.”<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Follow stories on hot industries and job functions.</b></span><br /><br />CareerBuilder experts say information technology, engineering, health care, sales, and customer service are among the top areas for hiring nationwide, according to CareerBuilder’s job listings. Follow the news and job openings in these fields.<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Use the time to come up with ideas.</b></span><br /><br />Whether it’s an idea for a marketing campaign, new revenue stream, cost savings, etc., the candidates who show up at an interview with ideas demonstrate that they are passionate, knowledgeable, and excited about the opportunity. These job seekers always stand out from the crowd, CareerBuilder experts say.<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Make connections.</b></span><br /><br />A résumé handed to the hiring manager directly from someone within the company is more likely to get noticed, CareerBuilder experts say. Build and expand your network of contacts through social media and professional organizations. Let friends, family and professional contacts know that you’re looking for a job, and ask for their help in finding connections to the organizations you’re interested in.<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Follow up.</b></span><br /><br />According to CareerBuilder, two thirds of workers reported that they don’t follow up with the employer after submitting their résumé for consideration. It’s important to take that extra step to let the employer know you’re interested, and make sure you always send a thank you after an interview. Handwritten notes will set you apart from the pool of candidates, but e-mails are acceptable, too.<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Use key words.</b></span><br /><br />As long as you’re actively pursuing a job, you’ll likely be spending a significant amount of time editing and sending out your résumé. Remember to use key words. Why? CareerBuilder experts said most employers use electronic scanning devices to screen and rank candidates. You’ll want to tailor your résumé for each position you apply for, and include specific words from the job posting. Do this and your résumé will come up higher in employer searches.<br /><br />“These types of activities tell the employer that the job seeker is serious about their career development and made the most of their time off,” Haefner says. “The key for the job seeker is to make the connection between how their volunteer work, blog, class, or temporary position prepares them for the next job. If they can successfully do that, their employment gaps won’t be an issue.”<br />

<br />
Career planning is not an activity that should be done once — in high school or college — and then left behind as we move forward in our jobs and careers. Rather, career planning is an activity that is best done on a regular basis — especially given the data that the average worker will change careers (not jobs) multiple times over his or her lifetime. And it’s never too soon or too late to start your career planning.<br /><br />Career planning is not a hard activity, not something to be dreaded or put off, but rather an activity that should be liberating and fulfilling, providing goals to achieve in your current career or plans for beginning a transition to a new career. Career planning should be a rewarding and positive experience.<br /><br />Here, then, are 10 tips to help you achieve successful career planning.<br /><br />1. Make Career Planning an Annual Event<br /><br />Many of us have physicals, visit the eye doctor and dentist, and do a myriad of other things on an annual basis, so why not career planning? Find a day or weekend once a year — more often if you feel the need or if you’re planning a major career change — and schedule a retreat for yourself. Try to block out all distractions so that you have the time to truly focus on your career — what you really want out of your career, out of your life.<br /><br />By making career planning an annual event, you will feel more secure in your career choice and direction — and you’ll be better prepared for the many uncertainties and difficulties that lie ahead in all of our jobs and career.<br /><br />2. Map Your Path Since Last Career Planning<br /><br />One of your first activities whenever you take on career planning is spending time mapping out your job and career path since the last time you did any sort of career planning. While you should not dwell on your past, taking the time to review and reflect on the path — whether straight and narrow or one filled with any curves and dead-ends — will help you plan for the future.<br /><br />Once you’ve mapped your past, take the time to reflect on your course — and note why it looks the way it does. Are you happy with your path? Could you have done things better? What might you have done differently? What can you do differently in the future?<br /><br />3. Reflect on Your Likes and Dislikes, Needs and Wants<br /><br />Change is a factor of life; everybody changes, as do our likes and dislikes. Something we loved doing two years ago may now give us displeasure. So always take time to reflect on the things in your life — not just in your job — that you feel most strongly about.<br /><br />Make a two-column list of your major likes and dislikes. Then use this list to examine your current job and career path. If your job and career still fall mostly in the like column, then you know you are still on the right path; however, if your job activities fall mostly in the dislike column, now is the time to begin examining new jobs and new careers.<br /><br />Finally, take the time to really think about what it is you want or need from your work, from your career. Are you looking to make a difference in the world? To be famous? To become financially independent? To effect change? Take the time to understand the motives that drive your sense of success and happiness.<br /><br />4. Examine Your Pastimes and Hobbies<br /><br />Career planning provides a great time to also examine the activities you like doing when you’re not working. It may sound a bit odd, to examine non-work activities when doing career planning, but it’s not. Many times your hobbies and leisurely pursuits can give you great insight into future career paths.<br /><br />Think you can’t make a hobby into a career? People do it all the time. The great painter Paul Gauguin was a successful business person who painted on the side. It actually wasn’t until he was encouraged by an artist he admired to continue painting that he finally took a serious look at his hobby and decided he should change careers. He was good at business, but his love was painting.<br /><br />5. Make Note of Your Past Accomplishments<br /><br />Most people don’t keep a very good record of work accomplishments and then struggle with creating a powerful resume when it’s time to search for a new job. Making note of your past accomplishments — keeping a record of them — is not only useful for building your resume, it’s also useful for career planning.<br /><br />Sometimes reviewing your past accomplishments will reveal forgotten successes, one or more which may trigger researching and planning a career shift so that you can be in a job that allows you to accomplish the types of things that make you most happy and proud.<br /><br />For more about accomplishments, read: Tracking and Leveraging Accomplishments.<br /><br />6. Look Beyond Your Current Job for Transferable Skills<br /><br />Some workers get so wrapped up in their job titles that they don’t see any other career possibilities for themselves. Every job requires a certain set of skills, and it’s much better to categorize yourself in terms of these skill sets than be so myopic as to focus just on job titles.<br /><br />For example, one job-seeker who was trying to accomplish career planning found herself stuck because she identified herself as a reporter. But once she looked beyond her job title, she could see that she had this strong collection of transferable skills — such as writing, editing, researching, investigating, interviewing, juggling multiple tasks, meeting goals and deadlines, and managing time and information — skills that could easily be applied to a wide variety of jobs in many different careers.<br /><br /><br /><br />7. Review Career and Job Trends<br /><br />Everyone makes his or her own job and career opportunities, so that even if your career is shrinking, if you have excellent skills and know how to market yourself, you should be able to find a new job. However, having information about career trends is vital to long-term career planning success.<br /><br />A career path that is expanding today could easily shrink tomorrow — or next year. It’s important to see where job growth is expected, especially in the career fields that most interest you. Besides knowledge of these trends, the other advantage of conducting this research is the power it gives you to adjust and strengthen your position, your unique selling proposition. One of the keys to job and career success is having a unique set of accomplishments, skills, and education that make you better than all others in your career.<br /><br />8. Set Career and Job Goals<br /><br />Develop a roadmap for your job and career success. Can you be successful in your career without setting goals? Of course. Can you be even more successful through goal-setting? Most research says yes.<br /><br />A major component of career planning is setting short-term (in the coming year) and long-term (beyond a year) career and job goals. Once you initiate this process, another component of career planning becomes reviewing and adjusting those goals as your career plans progress or change – and developing new goals once you accomplish your previous goals.<br /><br />9. Explore New Education/Training Opportunities<br /><br />It’s somewhat of a cliche, but information really does lead to power and success. Never pass up chances to learn and grow more as a person and as a worker; part of career planning is going beyond passive acceptance of training opportunities to finding new ones that will help enhance or further your career.<br /><br />Take the time to contemplate what types of educational experiences will help you achieve your career goals. Look within your company, your professional association, your local universities and community colleges, as well as online distance learning programs, to find potential career-enhancing opportunities — and then find a way achieve them.<br /><br />10. Research Further Career/Job Advancement Opportunities<br /><br />One of the really fun outcomes of career planning is picturing yourself in the future. Where will you be in a year? In five years? A key component to developing multiple scenarios of that future is researching career paths.<br /><br />Of course, if you’re in what you consider a dead-end job, this activity becomes even more essential to you, but all job-seekers should take the time to research various career paths — and then develop scenarios for seeing one or more of these visions become reality. Look within your current employer and current career field, but again, as with all aspects of career planning, do not be afraid to look beyond to other possible careers.<br /><br />Final Thoughts on Career Planning<br /><br />Don’t wait too long between career planning sessions. Career planning can have multiple benefits, from goal-setting to career change, to a more successful life. Once you begin regularly reviewing and planning your career using the tips provided in this article, you’ll find yourself better prepared for whatever lies ahead in your career — and in your life.<br /><br /><br />by Randall S.

<b>1. Make A Difference – Not A Fortune</b><br /><br />“If you set out to make a fortune, you probably won’t. If you set out to make a difference in the world, you will and you might make a fortune.”<br /><br /><br /><b>2. Connect The Dots Or Paint By Numbers – Know What’s Right For You</b><br /><br />There are two fundamental strategies… connecting dots and paint by numbers. You have to be realistic about who you are. Once you have this model in your head, it sets you free. It’s a strategy.<br /><br />(With) paint by numbers… if I follow a prescribed course, I’m going to get a good picture. That’s the picture of your life… the picture you’re trying to create in your life. Scientists, professionals like doctors, lawyers, this is the core strategy in a life like that… matching the numbers with the colors.<br /><br />The other one is connecting the dots. Starting in a place and getting to the next place and then figuring out what the next place is (after that). To do this, you have to do a lot of things that are not digital, they are analog<br /><br /><b>Tactics required to successfully execute the connect-the-dots strategy.</b><br /><br />Persistence & Practice - When it comes to gaining the skills required for success, Mark makes it clear that, “there is no shortcut, (success requires) thousands of hours” of practice. He also notes that if you choose the next dot based on your passions, it will be relatively easy for you to maintain the persistence required to gain the expertise required to achieve success.<br /><br />Family & Mentors - “A family is the people who believe in you… and make it easier (for you) to be persistent. Mentors are the people you are copying. Mentors and role models are a shortcut to become something you believe in.”<br /><br />Most parents hate this (the connect-the-dot approach) because it’s ambiguous. ‘Hey, I didn’t pay all this money for you to go to college, to get out there and wander around. What are you going to be?’ Often, parents want you to be a paint-by-numbers person because its less ambiguous, seems more certain… and therefore lower risk.”<br /><br /><b><br />3. Good Fortune Matters</b><br /><br />Blessings… are things you cannot control. I can be persistent. I can be curious. But I can’t possibly control blessings and good fortune. If you attribute over 50% of the outcome that you will see in your life to good fortune… it will keep you humble and it will help you focus on the things you can control. When you focus on the things you can control, it’s amazing how much good fortune you will have.<br /><br /><b>4. Always Be A Student – Success Is A Work In Process</b><br /><br />“Always see yourself as a student and always understand that success is a work in process, always.” Curious students remain grounded, never take their successes for granted and are always learning.<br /><br />Ref: Forbes Article (Author: John Greathouse)<br /><br />If you are looking for professional growth, better prospectous and change in current profile/domain/funtional area contact us on 08040689595<br /><br />Or visit our website www.exaltconsulting.com<br />

<div class="article-firstGraf" itemprop="articleBody" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: arial, helvetica, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 12.375px; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
<b>Myth #1: Employers are only looking to see if your resume is accurate</b><br />
<b>In Reality:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></b>When an employer runs a background check, they may be looking for salary history, criminal activity, credit scores, professional licenses or designations, drug use, or professional and personal references.<br />
<br />
<b>Myth #2: You can lie about how much you made at previous jobs</b><br />
<b>In Reality:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>While there are plenty of creative ways on an interview to evade disclosing your salary history, a prospective employer can ask your former employer or request copies of your W-2 forms.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: arial, helvetica, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 12.375px; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
<b>Myth #3: Employers simply call the references you provide</b></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: arial, helvetica, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 12.375px; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
<b>In Reality:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></b>An employer may choose to conduct their own background check or to use an agency. Background investigation companies often work with other agencies that pull criminal histories, check applicant credit, perform drug testing, and collect fingerprints.</div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: arial,helvetica,verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 12.375px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">

<b>Myth #4: Anything you've ever done is going to show up in a background check</b></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: arial, helvetica, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 12.375px; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
<b>In Reality:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Consumer reporting agencies must follow the standards established by the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), and cannot report tax liens, collections, and civil suits after seven years or bankruptcies after 10 years, but time limits for reporting negative information do not apply for jobs paying over $75,000.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: arial, helvetica, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 12.375px; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
Juvenile criminal convictions cannot be reported. Adult criminal convictions can be reported at any time (although some states impose their own limits).</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: arial, helvetica, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 12.375px; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
Background investigation companies also have their own information collection and reporting policies - they may set their own limits for how far back into an applicant's history they will look, they may not report low-level misdemeanors at all, and they will almost always require derogatory claims in writing - for instance, if a previous employer says they wouldn't re-hire you, the agency would request that as a written statement as opposed to just accepting the information as part of a phone call.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: arial, helvetica, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 12.375px; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
If the employer is conducting their own background investigation, they may not check out-of-state criminal records or run detailed credit reports - but they might be more likely to get an off-the-record negative reference from a former employer.</div>

<b>Myth #5: A negative finding automatically means you won't get the job</b></div>

<b>In Reality:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></b>Just because something unfavorable shows up in a background check doesn't mean you won't get hired. The truth is that most people leave at least one job on bad terms at some point in their career. And state laws determine how information discovered during a background check can be used - for example, under Pennsylvania law, an employer can only make hiring decisions based on an applicant's criminal record if the convictions relate to the person's suitability for the position.</div>

<b>Myth #6: As a job seeker, you're powerless</b></div>

<b>In Reality:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>An employer must receive your written permission to conduct a background check before even beginning the process. If they choose not to hire you based on findings in a background check, they have to provide you with the report along with contact info for the consumer-reporting agency. If there's anything inaccurate on the report, you should immediately contact the agency and ask them to correct it.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: arial, helvetica, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 12.375px; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
Regardless of whether the employer conducts an in-house or external background check, job seekers still cannot be denied a position for any reason that falls under certain protected classes. In Pennsylvania, these include race, color, sex, age (over 40), ancestry, national origin, religious creed, having a GED rather than a high school diploma, handicap or disability, or relationship to a person with a disability. If you have been a victim of employment discrimination, you have the right to file an employment discrimination complaint.</div>

<b>VISION</b> <br /><br />An effective project leader is often described as having a vision of where to go and the ability to articulate it. Visionaries thrive on change and being able to draw new boundaries. It was once said that a leader is someone who ‘lifts us up, gives us a reason for being and gives the vision and spirit to change’.<br /><br /> <b><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Command authority naturally.</span></b><br />In other words, they don’t need borrowed power to enlist the help of others – they just know how to do it. They are optimistic leaders who are viewed in a favorable light and are valued by the organization.<br /><br /><b><span style="font-size: large;">Good Communicator</span></b><br />The ability to communicate with people at all levels is almost always named as the second most important skill by project managers and team members. Project leadership calls for clear communication about goals, responsibility, performance, expectations and feedback.<br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><b><br />Possess quick sifting abilities, knowing what to note and what to ignore.</b></span><br />The latter is more important since there’s almost always too much data, and rarely too little. Ignoring the right things is better than trying to master extraneous data.<br /><br /><br /><b><span style="font-size: large;">ENTHUSIASM/PASSION</span></b><br />We tend to follow people with a can-do attitude, not those who are always negative and give us all the reasons for why something can’t be done. <br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b>COMPETENCE</b></span><br />The team must believe that the project manager knows what he/she is doing. Leadership competence does not however necessarily refer to the project leader’s technical abilities in the core technology of the business.<br /><br /><br /><b><span style="font-size: large;">Ability to Delegate Tasks</span></b><br />Trust is an essential element in the relationship of a project leader and his or her team. You demonstrate your trust in others through your actions - how much you check and control their work, how much you delegate and how much you allow people to participate.<br /><br /><br /><b><span style="font-size: large;">Set, observe, and re-evaluate project priorities frequently</span></b>.<br />
They focus and prioritize by handling fewer emails, attending fewer meetings, and generally limiting their data input.<br /><br /><br /><b><span style="font-size: large;">Exercise independent and fair consensus-building skills when conflict arises.</span></b><br />But they embrace only as much conflict as is absolutely necessary, neither avoiding nor seeking grounds for control of a particular project segment.<br /><br /><br /><br /><b><span style="font-size: large;">PROBLEM SOLVING</span></b><br />A great project manager not only has to have all of these qualities but also know when to employ them and to what extent.<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"> <b><br />Cool Under Pressure</b></span><br />In a perfect world, projects would be delivered on time, under budget and with no major problems or obstacles to overcome. But we don't live in a perfect world - projects have problems. A leader with a hardy attitude will take these problems in stride. When leaders encounter a stressful event, they consider it interesting, they feel they can influence the outcome and they see it as an opportunity.<br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> </div>

1. Demonstrate your understanding of the ‘why’ behind the app Developers who understand the 'why' behind the app are the most successful because they can offer the end user or the C-suite a return-on-app investment," says Bratton.<br />
<br />
<br />
2. Be able to communicate to non-technical folks as well It's important that mobile developers are able to step outside of their technical shells and express the limitations and possibilities provided by mobile technology in a way that non-technical people can understand,<br />
<br />
3.Always keep your skills and industry knowledge sharp<br />
Staying abreast of the latest mobile-technology languages is key. For instance, honing the fundamentals skills (Java or C++ for Android and Objective-C or Swift for iOS) is a given. Developers should also have experience working with APIs and SDKs made available by larger social media platforms (e.g.Facebook or Instagram). After all, social media is making a huge impact on the landscape of mobile applications, helping apps build audiences and boost demand.<br />

• Assessment Centers :- Assessment centers can be designed to measure many different types of job related skills and abilities, but are often used to assess interpersonal skills, communication skills, planning and organizing, and analytical skills. The assessment center typically consists of exercises that reflect job content and types of problems faced on the job. For example, individuals might be evaluated on their ability to make a sales presentation or on their behavior in a simulated meeting. In addition to these simulation exercises, assessment centers often include other kinds of tests such as cognitive ability tests, personality inventories, and job knowledge tests</div>

• Personality Tests:- Some commonly measured personality traits in work settings are extraversion, conscientiousness, openness to new experiences, optimism, agreeableness, service orientation, stress tolerance, emotional stability, and initiative or proactivity. Personality tests typically measure traits related to behavior at work, interpersonal interactions, and satisfaction with different aspects of work. Personality tests are often used to assess whether individuals have the potential to be successful in jobs where performance requires a great deal of interpersonal interaction or work in team settings.</div>

• Work Samples and Simulations:- These tests typically focus on measuring specific job skills or job knowledge, but can also assess more general skills such as organizational skill, analytic skills, and interpersonal skills. Work samples and simulations typically require performance of tasks that are the same or similar to those performed on the job to assess their level of skill or competence. For example, work samples might involve installing a telephone line, creating a document in Word, or tuning an engine.</div>

<span style="background: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Personally, we find that one of the most
important requirements lies in developing an accurate position including a
reasonable description of expected duties. Within the GIS Community we believe
there has always been much confusion regarding this. How often do you see a
career posting for a Technician or other "junior" person and the
requirements asking for a candidate with a Master's degree and 5 years of
hands-on experience? A key to matching up qualified people with the perfect job
is to have both sides on the same page and the employee being aware of what is
expected of him/her in their duties.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br />
