3 things to do when your boss constantly sends late-night and weekend emails
3 things to do when your babo constantly sends late-night and weekend emails3 things to do when your boss constantly sends late-night and weekend emailsYoure settling into bed following happy hour with your new coworkers when you get an email from your boss.Your anxiety levels immediately spike before you finish reading the subject line.Its only three weeks into your brand new job and youre already getting late-night communication from your supervisor, adding to the frequent waves of stress youve been feeling about the position.Heres what to do when your boss constantly sends emails well after hours.Figure out the best method of communicationLearn what the expectations are for this job - are you always expected to respond that night?Alison Green, author of the Ask a Manager blog,answers a readers question in Inc. on if they are supposed to reply to work emails from the new boss on weekends and how to avoid a potentially sticky situation.She writes that in some cases, you dont have t o respond, but next illustrates that you should start a dialogue.Now, obviously, if your boss is saying things like let me know today or following up on Sunday to ask why you havent yet responded to the email he sent on Saturday, then its pretty clear that he does expect responses over the weekend, Green writes. But if this isnt the case, then I would either a) ignore the emails until youre back at work on Monday, or b) ask him- as in, Hey, Im assuming that its fine for me to wait to reply to emails sent over the weekend until Im back at work on Monday, unless its an emergency. Let me know if thats not the case.Think about how this affects your productivityMaura Thomas, a speaker, trainer, author, and founder of RegainYourTime.com, writes to managers about how this type of communication hurts productivityin the Harvard Business Review.A frantic environment that includes answering emails at all hours doesnt make your staff more productive. It just makes them busy and distracted, she writes. You kusine your staff hiring decisions on their knowledge, experience, and unique talents, not how many tasks they can seemingly do at once, or how many emails they can answer in a day.Get your emails in checkThorin Klosowskianswers a readers question in Lifehacker about how to get more leisure time when the boss emails them nearly every weekend. The reader says the emails either make them anxious about Monday or take up a lot of time on weekends.One of Klosowskis tips is to forcefully cut yourself off.You can never guarantee your boss will respect your wishes and stop emailing you over the weekend, he writes. In that case, you should set up your inbox so you dont check them on evenings and weekends. Talk to your boss and come up with a ordnungsprinzip to differentiate between priority emails over the weekend and the emails that are just meant to help you prepare for your return on Monday morning. If your email account is properly prioritized youll be able to shut off those pestering messages without worrying that youre missing a critical task.

Applicant Tracking System Uncovered Qandidate
Applicant Tracking System Undeckblatted QandidateApplicant Tracking System Uncovered QandidateAnapplicant tracking ordnungsprinzip, or ATS, is a software application used to store, sort, and search through resumes.There are many applicant tracking systems out there, all with different features and functions. This post providesan in-depth review of one particularATS Qandidate.Launched by Wouter Goedhart, Tycho van Paassen, and Remy Verhoeven in 2013, Qandidate is now used by more than 6,000 companies worldwide, including Mattel, WeightWatchers, and KLM. Qandidate is based in Europe, with offices in Rotterdam and London.With 10 sample applications, we used Qandidate to do a test run of hiring for one job.Have youever received a rejection schmelzglas immediately after applying for a job online? Read on to find out why that happens, along with what else we learned.Application processTo apply for a job with a company that uses Qandidate, you manually fill out fields asking for your name a nd contact information. While this might feel a bit tedious, its a better solution for candidates than applicant tracking systems that try to pluck contact information straight from resumes (which can lead to errors and omissions).The Qandidate.com homepage.Next, you answer any screening questions the company has chosen, paste your cover letter in the provided space, and upload your resume as an attachment. The space for the cover letter allows you to include links, making it the perfect opportunity to point the recruiter to, say, your online portfolio orGitHub account (GitHub is a code repository known for open source development. For developers, having a GitHub account showing numerous contributions can be almost as important as a resume). There is also the option to upload further attachments, such as writing samples or design work.Instead of submitting your resume as an attachment, you can elect to use your LinkedIn profile. Companies that use applicant tracking systems report t hat many candidates start, but do leid finish, applications. Offering such shortcuts is one way to minimize this.The cover letter is front and center on a Qandidate profile. This is how your profile will look to a hiring manager if you dont submit a cover letter. This image capture also shows that this candidates answers to the screening questions were in line with the jobs requirements.Qandidate is based in Europe, and U.S. users might notice some minor differences when applying. When filling in your address, it asks for your postal code and your house or apartment number on one line, and your street on a standalone line. Each candidates profile contains space for a picture while its frowned upon in the U.S. to have your picture on your resume, its a standard practice elsewhere in the world. Dates are written in day/month/year format instead of month/day/year.Screening questionsUsed by 80 percent of recruiters on Qandidate, screening questions are a versatile tool. There are three different types of questionsInformative. For these questions,there is no right or wrong answer, and the question isnt counted at all toward how the system weighs the applicants.Normal. These questions are taken into consideration when weighing the applicants.Killer. A wrong answer to this type of question will automatically reject a candidate. Recruiters choose what constitutes a wrong answer (such as insufficient experience or education).Recruiters choose the number of questions they want to use, if any. For each individual question, the recruiterdecides whether to classifyit as informative, normal, or killer. In addition to Qandidates predefined questions, recruiters can also create their own. The predefined questions include education level and experience level.For the education level, recruiters select from a checklist the sortiment of education levels they will accept (equivalent American and European degrees are grouped together). For experience level, recruiters enter a minim um and maximum number of years of experience that they are looking for. Numbers with more than four digits can be entered inthese fields, meaning that recruiters can effectively ask for a minimum amount of experience without setting an upper limit.The education level options. Recruiters can choose more than one.The custom question options include open question number sortiment multiple choice date range and closed question. Recruiters can also set a minimum number of screening questions that each applicant must answer correctly. If a candidate does not meet that minimum, their application will be automatically rejected after a 48-hour window.Once a job has been posted, the questions can no longer be changed. This ensures that all candidates are subjected to the same questions, and that all questions are weighted the same for all candidates.In this predefined screening question, recruiters specify the amount of experience theyre looking for.If you have ever applied for a job online a nd gotten an immediate rejection, it is likely that you answered a screening question with a response that fell outside the window of what an employer was looking for. (Screening questions do not come with a lie detector, so recruiters should verify answers by looking over the other information a candidate has supplied.)Search and filtersUnlike SmartRecruiters and many other applicant tracking systems, Qandidate stores applicants resumes as attachments in their original formats. There is no profile section that presents resume information in an identical format for each candidate. The benefit is that your resume information wont get garbled, but this also makes it imperative that your resume contains the right keywords. If your profile does not show up when the recruiter searches for their most-desired keywords, your application is likely to go unnoticed. For help with tailoring your resume to a specific job, visitJobscanfor a keyword analysis. Jobscan will rate how well your resume matches the job description, and provide suggestions for improvements.This image capture shows the results of a search for resumes that contain the word trained.The search tool is what allows recruiters to find candidates whose resumes contain particular keywords. But while a human might recognize slight variations on the same word, Qandidate does not. This is typical for an ATS.Qandidates search tool returned different results for bachelors, bachelors, and bachelor. Searches for manager and management also returned different results. This is another reason why its important to submit a cover letter- doing so gives you more chances to include potential keywords. In your application materials, make sure to use synonyms and different forms of writing things out. For example, instead of always using Adobe Creative Suite 6, write it as Adobe CS6 as well.Because Qandidate doesnt transsumpt each candidates resume into a standard format, recruiters have to hunt through each profile indivi dually to determine where a keyword showed up, and in what context. With this ATS, your resume format still matters. Make sure all of the information on your resume is relevant and easy to see at a glance.Qandidate has a rating system that allows recruiters to rate all candidates on a scale from one to five stars.Qandidate also features several filters to help recruiters sift through applicants. Recruiters canuse filters to view applicants that meet certain criteria in numerouscategoriesRatingScore from screening questionsYears of experienceEducation levelLocationApplication source (online application, employee referral, etc.)This makes it easy for recruiters to look for candidates who meet their ideal requirements, such as living locally and possessing 7 or more years of experience.When moving a candidate along in the hiring process, whether thats rejecting them, offering an interview, or simply confirming receipt of their application, recruiters can choose to use Qandidates defaul t email templates, or create their own.The default email template for offering a candidate an interview. Recruiters can also create custom templates.Applicants can be considered for more than one job with Qandidate. There is a feature called Talent Pool that lets recruiters match applicants to different roles open within a company, or add them to the companys general talent pool for consideration for future roles.For recruitersQandidate is free for all users no paid option exists. Though the system is fairly intuitive, there are various forms of customer support for those who want more guidance (live chat, webinars, and an online forum, among others). It is designed as an in-house recruiting tool, based on the premise that people who know an organization well will best be able to choose the right candidates.Qandidate offers recruiters guidance for posting to job boards- and discounts.Qandidate offers both a calendar tool and a one-stop shopping option for posting job vacancies onlin e. By doing thisthrough Qandidate, recruiters can take advantage of discounts the site has negotiated with 22 different job boards. Some of these job boards are U.S-based, some are Europe-based, and some are global. Posts on these job boards are active for 14 to 60 days, depending on the board. The price range for individual job postings is from $254 to $2021 (prices converted from euros), again depending on the board. Additional discounts are offered to recruiters who post on more than one job board. Qandidate suggests the job boards most likely to lead to the best candidates,based on the success rate of similar job postings from other users, though recruiters can post wherever they wish.In addition to the standard corporate blog, Qandidate has what they call theirLabs blog. This is where developers talk about how they build their software, projects theyre working on, and the results of their RD efforts. If youre interested in the technical side of what Qandidate is doing, and what theyll be doing next, this is the place to look.Qandidates blog by and for developers.TakeawaysIf an online application asks questions, answer them honestly. Not doing so wastes your time and that of the recruiter.Remember that the questions could be for informative purposes only not every question is meant to weed out and reject candidates. On the other hand, be prepared to accept that you may not be considered for a job for which you felt qualified.Additional things we learned from trying QandidateMake sure you have two copies of your resume one flawlessly-formatted PDF, and one text file.Use a cover letter. This is displayed prominently on an applicants Qandidate profile. Besides, whether candidates submit cover letters may play a role in how a recruiter rates candidates.Include links. If you have a minimal web presence, job hunting should spur you to change that. Aportfolio, blog, or other site allows you to not just list where you have worked, but to show specifically what you can do. Have you built an app? Published an ebook? Helped launch a local film festival? Whatever youve done, make sure you are prepared to provide links that make you stand out when applying for jobs online.Submit relevantsamples. Doing so shows a willingness to go above and beyond, and gives you the chance to prove to recruiters that you are capable of actually doing the job.One other way to increase your chances of landing an interview is to test your resume with Jobscan before applying. Paste in your resume and the job description, and Jobscan will tell you how effectively you have targeted your resume for the job, positiv suggest improvements you can make.

The Number One Secret to Writing a Great Resume
The Number One Secret to Writing a Great Resume The Number One Secret to Writing a Great Resume Search the web for resume help or resume advice and youll find lots of pearls of wisdom. All of which are true. But all of which are ultimately misleading. Most resume advice articles will tell you to focus on achievements not responsibilities, or to use lots of action-oriented words, or to be sure you communicate your personal brand. Ive written these articles myself and I meant well, I really did! But all of this is what I call bitty advice. Its useful and lots of it is true, but its nibbling around the edges of the problem. What my art teacher taught me about resume writing My first college art teacher was called Arthur Bagley. He had a beard and unkempt hair and he made teapots. Whenever I hear the phrase doesnt suffer fools gladly I think of Arthur Bagley. He didnt suffer fools glady at all and he immediately decided I was one. I had chosen to study art because I was good at drawing. I had read lots of books and taught myself how to replicate anything. On the first day of class, Arthur asked us to show him art work we had done. I proudly showed him a portrait I had done of a minor celebrity. It was good! I was excited to hear what he had to say. Well, he said, after a long pause. It looks just like him. I beamed. I knew it! But he hadnt finished. But whats the point? he asked. The point? Why did you do it? What are you saying here? I stammered but I didnt even really understand the question, let alone have an answer. He tossed the drawing back on to my desk with a slight sneer. I think that your drawing has no point other than to show other people that you can copy what you see accurately, he said. Then he paused, turned back to the class and issued one devastating last word on the matter: Meaningless. What is the point of your resume? I tell this story because it perfectly sums up the issue with most resumes and the reason most resume advice can lead you awry. Before you can follow the tips about adding action words, and focusing on accomplishments not achievements and all the other stuff that resume advice articles generally cover, you have to decide on one thing: Whats the point? The Resume Strategy The number one secret to writing a resume that gets results is simply this: Have a strategy. I never start writing a resume without one. I gather tons of information on my client, and without much thought, I could probably write a resume that was impressive on the surface, but lacking a central point. 95% of clients would probably walk away happy with that, and some of them might even get good jobs. But thats not enough for me and it shouldnt be enough for you. Because by doing more, you can dramatically increase your success rate. The way to do that is by determining your own strategy (and by the way, its OK to have several resumes, each with a different strategy and each to be used in different situations). The Resume Strategy Formula Heres how I develop a resume strategy when working with my clients: 1. What does the person want to do next. Clear target positions are essential for a strong resume. If you dont really know what you want to do next, your resume will reflect that and it will fail. 2. What matters most to employers in that field? If you dont know the answer to this question, research is key. You will need to understand their needs in depth if you are to write a resume that appeals to them. Study as many job postings as you can to identify the required skills, experiences and personal traits. 3. What do you have to offer that matches employer needs? Dig into your background, experiences and personality traits and write down everything that meets the needs of your target employers. When youre done, summarize this into a short description of how you will add value. 4. Develop your strategy and keep your resume content focused on communicating that message. This is hard, but you will need to omit or minimize information that doesnt show employers why you are the perfect fit to solve their problems. You might be dying to boast about this or that accomplishment, but if its extraneous to requirements it will only distract from your central message. Stay focused! Arthur would be proud! After a few months of art classes with Arthur, I had moved from copying the things I saw to painting wild, imaginative landscapes inspired by poetry. I was never a technically skilled or particularly gifted artist, but finally my art work had a point. If you follow my resume writing strategy formula, you will be able to say the same about your resume. Arthur Bagley would be proud! Need more help with your resume?

4 ways to shut down your smartphone obsession
4 ways to shut down your smartphone obsession 4 ways to shut down your smartphone obsession We already know that weâre obsessed with our phones. But when it comes to how and when we use them, we ultimately have a choice.Hopefully these tips will help you become the less phone-focused and more carefree.First, hereâs why youâre not aloneIt isnât just you. Pew Research reported in 2017 that 77% of adults the U.S. say theyâre smartphone owners, compared to a mere 35% in 2011. Forty-six percent of smartphone owners said their smartphone is something âthey couldnât live without.âHereâs what you can do.Find out where you standCan you even guess how many times you check your phone every day?A Forbes article mentions a way to figure out how hooked on your technology you are upfront.âStart with measurement, to get an accurate picture of how frequently you check whichever platform or device you want to cut down on. How often do you check per hour? Measure and record this. How often do you check per day?â it says.Remember, your cell phone is not a traditional al arm clockStop the social media onslaught before it starts.A Thrillist article about kicking an iPhone habit says not to use it as an alarm clock: â[W]e all know how it goes: once youâre done dealing your standard wave of 20 snoozes, you flick off the alarm, and go straight to browsing: Instagram, email, videos of baby elephants- youâve already bogged yourself down with a tech overload before your feet hit the floor. If you want to distance yourself from your tech in a meaningful way, you need to nip the problem in the drowsy bud. And since so many of us literally wake up with our phone in our hands, this is the first place to start cutting back.âSo instead of trying to pull away from the screenâs blue light in the early hours of the morning - right after shutting off the alarm- rely on a traditional alarm clock to get the job done.Put it far, far awayOn that note, it only makes sense to include a tip about keeping your phone separate from you - in fact, the further away the better.An Entrepreneur article talks about how you should keep it somewhere else in a tip about being âunplugged occasionally.ââIf you have an important project you need to complete or you just want to spend quality time with friends and family, leave your phone in another room and try not to check it more than two or three times a day. Give yourself a smartphone break once in a while. Ultimately, you want to be in control of your phone and not the other way around,â it says.Ditch the notificationsPing. Beep. Pingâ¦beep. Sometimes it feels impossible to keep up with all the notifications flooding your phone over the course of an average day. Thatâs why itâs important to preserve your mental clarity.A LifeHacker article says you should shut notifications off on your phone.âSpecifically, turn off all notifications that donât require immediate action. You can probably leave calls and texts on, but turn off everything from Twitter, Facebook, and every app with a âfollowâ function. Turn off your email notifications too. Itâs not as if you donât check your email every 20 minutes anyway. If you need, establish a âcall/text if itâs an emergencyâ policyâ¦â it says, continuing onto other points, including that notifications that hold a little more weight can be hidden from the front screen and made silent.

The resume sample before you includes the four essential resume sections: summary, core qualifications or skills, experience, and education. The summary in this medical or health services manager resume sample manages to contain a wealth of information in three succinct sentences. The fictional applicant sets down essential attributes such as strong communications skills and analytical mindset. He also briefly states experience in core areas of this position.Next, the skills, or core qualification, section offers a list of valuable skills. This resume correctly limits this section to six short bullet-pointed phrases. You may possess a wide range of skills, but do restrict your skills section to about six qualifications most relevant to success in a medical or health services manager position. The experience section before you offers a good example of a wor k history that includes all necessary information and presents a well-rounded portrait of the applicantâs professional life. The applicant includes major job duties, as well as specific metrics and achievements. If you wonder about the best way to illustrate your accomplishments with performance metrics, this resume sample provides an excellent example. The applicant mentions a specific, measurable effect of his efforts (32 percent budget reduction) and describes what he did to achieve this result. If you read this section closely, you will note the last bullet point mentions an exit interview, indicating the applicant left his last position before applying for further jobs. The applicant avoids the mistake of trying to explain his reasons for leaving on his resume. However, by noting his high performance rating at his exit interview, he indirectly lets employers know he left on good terms and for reasons unrelated to his work performance.Why You Need a Strong Medical or Health Se rvices Manager ResumeMedical and health services managers can expect to see increasing job openings based on the Bureau of Labor and Statistics prediction of 17-percent job growth in the near future. The BLS lists several factors it expects to contribute to this growth, including increasing availability of medical technologies and longer lifespans. While you may notice more job openings, most employers hiring for these positions may look for particular skills, including managing complex healthcare organizational structures and proficiency in electronic health records technology. To achieve the success you seek, you need a resume that showcases essential skills as well as your ability to master new ones. Many qualified managers struggle to come up with effective descriptions of their qualifications. A good medical or health services manager resume sample can serve as an inspiration and template as you compose your own.Costly Medical or Health Services Manager Resume Mistakes To Avoid As you write your resume, keep in mind some common errors to avoid. Unfortunately, most employers notice mistakes quickly and do not give second chances or closer looks. Make readability a priority when you format your resume. Some applicants try to follow the one-page rule by diminishing font size or taking away spaces between sections, making their resumes look cramped and busy. Instead of doing this, see if you can use more concise phrasing or leave out some information. If, after paring down your resume, you still need more space, choose a longer resume over one that strains employersâ eyesight.As a manager in a specialized setting, you need to demonstrate both general managerial skills and specific healthcare knowledge. Our medical or health services manager resume sample presents a good balance of skills such as financial management and specific experience in healthcare facilities management. Applicants with specialized experience relevant to the position they seek should em phasize it as well.ConclusionAlthough writing a great resume may seem like a daunting task, finding helpful tools can make the process easier. A readable, informative resume can go a long way toward convincing employers you will succeed in this job. Our medical or health services manager resume sample can help you create your own impressive document.

How to Get a Promotion (Without Sacrificing Your Life to the Grind)
How to Get a Promotion (Without Sacrificing Your Life to the Grind) How to Get a Promotion (Without Sacrificing Your Life to the Grind) As the saying goes, its better to work smarter than it is to work harder. Believe it or not, those words also apply to climbing your way up the corporate ladder. You dont have to put in twelve-hour days for years on end to catch the right eyes and land a promotion. Whether you think its fair or not, your actual performance at work isnt what matters most when it comes to earning a promotion. Rather, whats important is how people perceive your performance at work. So instead of working your way up the food chain by burying yourself under mountains of extra tasks and responsibilities, your best bet is to accomplish impressive goals and then make sure the right people know about those accomplishments. Not that you want to become the office braggart, of course. Remember: Perception counts. Even if you have a staggering record of success, a reputation as a horn-tooting narcissist will get you disqualified quickly. So how do you walk that fine line between egotism and smart work? A new infographic from online lenders CashNetUSA has the answers. Check it out below:
