Career Service Providers Who Provide Discounts for Military Veterans

Career Service Providers Who Provide Discounts for Military Veterans Since JibberJobber started weve had a special offer for military and veterans (and spouses).  This comes from my history being around military families, starting when I was 11, and continuing through today.  I cant do much, but as the owner of JibberJobber I can give veterans one year of JibberJobber premium to help them transition.  We have been doing this since 2006 (veterans can sign up at JibberJobberUSA.com). Recently I read an article that disgusted me it talked about some problems that one specific veteran is facing in his transition home, and as he tries to get a job outside of the military.  As I was reading about this veteran I thought that I could do a little more, and decided to reach out to my network of career coaches and resume writers to see what they are currently offering.  The list below is surely not complete (leave a comment or email me if you know of something that should be added, or if something is misrepresented this list should get better over time). NOTE: Service providers who are not listed here have either not responded to my request or do not have special discounts for military.  Please respect their business choice in some cases their prices might already be very low, or for some reason they have made a business decision which does not allow for discounts.  Please respect their business choices, for whatever reason they made them.

Women In The Workforce Tips For Ladies To Excel

Women In The Workforce Tips For Ladies To Excel In the past twenty years, women have made big strides in the workforce.  Salaries are closer between men and women than they have ever been. Women have more legal protection in place than ever, and more women are finishing their college degrees than ever before.  In short, women are gaining ground financially and respectfully.   Being a woman in the workforce, you have to conduct yourself differently and make different decisions than men do on a daily basis.  If you feel like you’re not fully informed on how to be a woman in the workplace.  Here are a few tips to help you get along and forward your career as quickly as possible.   Dress for the desired position, not the acquired position We all know that it’s unfair that women are expected to dress a certain way, but how you present yourself will and does matter when you enter the professional world.  You want to exude confidence and ambition in what you choose to wear.  If you present a confident and competent image to your employer and your coworkers, you will draw the attention from the possibility of sexism affecting your career, and push it towards professionalism and strength.  Dressing above your position will stir up intrigue as to just what you are capable of performing.   Do not allow yourself to be a proverbial doormat It’s definitely not a bad thing to put in extra hours and extra effort into your new career.  Just don’t forget that the word “no” is completely okay.  If your employer is attempting to work you excessively, and you seem to be the only person they are requiring this type of time from, then you should probably question their motives.   Also, your family is important.  Don’t allow your career or your boss to be put above your closest loved ones.  It’s just not worth it.  Though it may sound a bit sexist, but studies still show that it’s harder for women to be out of the home for long hours than it is for men.  This is a residual effect of the old fashioned role definitions of men and women. Know the ins and outs of your specialty From the first day of your career, you should be fully confident in your ability to perform everyday tasks required by your position.  It would be even better for you to know just a bit more about the position before you begin your career.  Use the internet to its fullest potential, and learn learn learn.  Also, it will do you good to research the company that has hired you.  Taking a special interest in their company will show that you have initiative and drive.

And, even better, you don’t need permission from anyone else to reach this sense of empowerment. You can do it all by yourself. Here are five  actions you can do right now to prepare yourself for your best life: 1. Understand Your Strengths Knowing who you are gives you more confidence and clarity. You’re more likely to take advantage of opportunities that align with the essence of who you are. If you haven’t unraveled what career happiness means to you, pay attention to the signs. Start journaling, reflecting, meditating, and spending time with yourself. Document your greatest moments of joy and what activities you thrive in. Check out Strength Finders and 16 personalities to discover things about yourself that you never gave a thought about. 2. Build Your Confidence You can’t be completely happy if your confidence is tarnished. A confident professional has the courage to make decisions that others only dream about. Boost your confidence by affirming yourself, sharing frequent moments of gratitude, and acknowledging your accomplishments. Waking up on time can be a huge accomplishment when you stayed up all night to finish a major project. Start writing love letters to yourself and read them out loud. Write and display post-it notes around the house that affirm who you are becoming. For example, if you want to be an author, write about being a New York Times Best Selling Author and how excited you are to sell your books at the next conference. 3. Audit Your Professional Circle It’s time to be honest with yourself and look around you. You cant expect to feel like happy Hannah if jealous Jennifer is always by your desk tearing down your dreams of a promotion. Whats worse is  when you invite her to lunch the next day to obtain career advice. Didnt she just receive a mediocre performance review? Do yourself a favor and stop giving attention to people and situations that dont serve your higher purpose. Jim Rohn once said that you are the average of the five people that you spend the most time with. What kind of people do you need in your social circle in order to achieve your goals? Seek them out. Where do those types of people congregate? Are they at conferences, social media events, or certain networking events? Find your professional tribe and hold on to them tightly. 4.  Stimulate Your Brain Power Comfort is the enemy of achievement and the best friend of mediocrity. If you want to keep tapping into unexposed pieces of your potential, you must continue stretching your mind. What opportunities have you always been curious about? If you’ve been thinking about creating a new application, invest in a coding course. Maybe the thought of learning a new language keeps crossing your mind; check out language courses offered by Don Quijote or learn a new language from your home by downloading Duolingo app. 5. Break Some Patterns Stop doing the same thing every day if you want to get different results. You wake up at the same time, catch the same train to work, and perform the same activities during lunch; no wonder you are bored out of your mind and screaming for change. Patterns work wonders for increasing your productivity, but that’s not what you are trying to work on. You are looking for some confidence boosting tactics that will get you out of your rut. Break the pattern in an extreme way. Book a trip next weekend to a place where you have never been before. Do something you never thought you would do. Spice up your life a little and suddenly making that new career move isn’t as scary as you thought it would be. . Image credits. Main.     Gossip.     Career.

10 Productivity Hacks to Kick-start Your Day - CareerMetis.com

10 Productivity Hacks to Kick-start Your Day How many times has this happened to you: you have a great weekend, you’re ready to go for Monday morning, and then something happens, and it all hits the fan. You’re behind before the week even begins and your sour as heck. It really shouldn’t be this way, but this is the reality of life.What can you do to stay ahead of the game and push through even the most annoying distractions to your productivity?evalHere are 10 suggestions to help empower you to stay focused and make the most out of your day, or to tackle those moments when life throws you a curveball.1) Be a Noticer evalTo start, you have to learn to pay attention to what you’re paying attention. Why?Because you can’t change what you don’t notice! Observation is the critical principle of mindfulness, and it’s no joke. It can change your life, but it takes practice.Learn to cultivate a broader sense of awareness of your habits and behaviors, both on and off the job. The key to noticing is slowing things down.Some things to start paying attention to include, seeing your attitude, your ability to stay focused, your ability to stay on task, how much bandwidth you have in managing stress, or difficult people, and what coping strategies you use when things go south.2) Breathe The most important thing you can do for yourself in this high-stress culture is to learn emotional regulation. The best way to do that is thorough conscious regulation of your breath. I know, it sounds corny, and you don’t want to do it, but it will change your life.When you get activated, your sympathetic nervous system goes on high alert. The best way to calm yourself is by engaging your parasympathetic nervous system.evalIt acts as the brakes to calm you down. We do that through deep diaphragmatic breathing. There are lots of websites where you can learn how to do this practice. Google it and practice, practice, practice.3) Meditate Any good mindfulness practice includes a time to reflect. Start your day off right by do ing some deep breathing and meditation. This quiet time can be used to reduce stress, calm the mind, develop patience and rewire your brain!Studies on meditation have shown it can create longevity for a better life, give you a more positive attitude, help you cultivate gratitude and keep you rock stable. Just be aware that when you start this practice, your mind will want to wander, and you’ll get impatient and want to quit.Don’t give up; the benefits are too high. It’s ok if your mind wanders, notice it and bring it back to your breath. Try having some music playing in the background, or listen to a recorded guided meditation. If you stick with it, you’ll see amazing results in your mood and general well-being.4) Have a Game PlanevalSure life happens, but if we have some set in stone things that we try to commit to every day that empowers us, it will prepare us for whatever our day may bring. These set in stone rituals should be things that you need to fuel your body, soul, and spirit.They prepare you to face the stresses of daily living. Therapists call it good self-care skills. Things like a good physical workout, a quiet time of meditation and prayer, reading something that might be intellectually stimulating and fueling your body with healthy nutrition.eval5) Set Goals Daily We know that goal setting is important, but lots of folks think regarding setting long and short-range goals, not daily goals. Start by making a list the night before of the things that are priority accomplishments for the following day.If the first three get done, you’re good. If more get is done, that’s an added benefit. To set daily goals, you have to plan for obstacles. That means you may have to say no to certain distractions or requests.It means you may have to delegate duties to others. If you have trouble doing these, you need to be curious as to what’s driving that behavior.6) Be FlexibleWe all love to plan. But when our best-laid plans go up in smoke, we have t o flexible and come up with creative ideas to make things work at the moment. Flexibility requires that we learn to control our emotional responses.We can’t go around freaking out when things happen, because that won’t change anything. We have to learn adaptive ways to calm ourselves and focus in the middle of the storm. Things like learning to control the breath and muscle relaxation help. I also teach my clients to scan their bodies for tension at least twice a day. This requires you to sit quietly for 10 minutes and focus on each part of your body starting with your head and ending with your toes.You want to scan for tension and any other sensations you notice. Then develop strategies to release that tension. Simple things like movement or breathwork can make a big difference. Staying calm and focused is the key to a successful day, not to mention your health and overall well-being.7) Take Breaks Some of the best minds out there know that to be productive and foster creativit y, you don’t need to spend endless hours sitting at a desk. Creativity happens as you’re out there doing life; hiking, walking, meditating, or journaling.evalExperiencing life gives you ideas and gets your creative juices flowing. Notice what fuels you. Notice what gives you energy and ideas and start doing more of that.8) Know Your Strengths and WeaknessesIf you know what your good at, do it, if you know where you suck, learn to delegate. This will save you lots of time and energy. If you’re a visionary, you need to spend more time thinking and creating.If you suck at managing details, then have someone else be responsible for those. Using your strengths and the strengths of others on your team is a win, win for everyone.9) Get Rid of Distractions that Weigh You DownThis one is hard. How many times a day are you tempted to answer your phone, check your email, or Facebook page, or shoot out a tweet?Productivity won’t happen if you’re constantly being interrupted by dings, pings, and boings. So turn them off! There will be plenty of time for them later.evalYou also need to beware of people who are time suckers. Sure you want to help everybody, but some people will talk all day long if you listen. Know who is draining you emotionally and make the necessary adjustments to deal with it. Time management is the key to productivity.10) Go the Heck to Sleep!Turn off the TV, the computer or your iPhone and go the heck to sleep. If you don’t get enough sleep you’re your ability to problem-solve and be productive will be dramatically reduced over time. You may be able to pull off 6 hours a night when your young and don’t have a family, but sooner or later, this one will catch up to you.Sleeping helps you to heal and repair your body. Chronic sleep deprivation correlates with an increased risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, depression, and anxiety. Sleep also helps your brain to function optimally and improves learning.None of these pract ices will guarantee life and work will always go smoothly. The irregular rhythm of life assures us of that. But when we’re on our A-game, we can handle most of what life throws at us and keep the ball rolling.

6 Ways to Learn to Dream (as a Grown-Up) - When I Grow Up

6 Ways to Learn to Dream (as a Grown-Up) - When I Grow Up Broadway star. Paleontologist. President. The person inside the traffic light who makes the colors change. Debbie Gibson. A horse. A “boss”. What do these things have in common? They’re the answers I gave to the “what do you want to be when you grow up?” question when I was little, plus some of the answers I’ve heard from my Grown Up Gigs guests. (I think “traffic light person” is my favorite.) When we’re kids, our dreams are plentiful, big, and not based in reality. We’re encouraged to reach for the stars and are told we can do anything we set out minds to. Because of that, we feel safe to share our dreams, whether it’s warning a grown-up that a monster is behind them or asking another kid to play “teenager”. But when we become those teenagers, we’re bogged down with preparing ourselves for The Future. That’s when we’re told to Be Realistic and Do Your Homework Or You Won’t Get Into a Good College. We’re asked to peer into our crystal balls and figure out at around 17 years old what we want to do for the rest of our lives. Life gets heavy and we have to start leading with seriousness. There’s no time to play, and even if there was, we’d just look silly anyway. Now that I’m 37, I want to pump my fist in the air and lead the Look Silly Revolution. I think I qualify, as I’ve worked full-time as The When I Grow Up Coach for 5 years and counting, of all silly things! I’ve offered dream career guidance for creative women since 2008, and the importance of dreaming as a grown-up has shown up over and over and over again. Without dreaming, we become the hats we wear: Mom. Project Manager. Wife. Carpool Driver. Without dreaming, we become robotic, only doing the things others tell us to and feeling diminished and unfulfilled. Without dreaming, we can’t discover our interests. We can’t set our goals. We can’t define who we are and what we want to do in this world. Without dreaming, we give up control of our own lives and hand the steering wheel over willingly. Whether you’re 18 or 88, here’s how you can start dreaming as a grown-up: Be unproductive. As grown-ups, we tend to brush off the things we see as unproductive. If we don’t know the outcome of something, why start? In order to start dreaming, you have to be okay with taking time to do something that won’t have an immediate or clear result. Get quiet. Dreaming is not meditating, but to start the practice it needs to feel close to it. Be in a quiet room where you can close your eyes unselfconsciously, listen to your breath for a moment, and ask yourself what would be fun to envision in your minds eye. Try not to lead the images just see what comes up! Keep a DayDream Journal. You might’ve heard of a dream journal, where you jot down what comes to you when you’re sleeping. Keeping a DayDream Journal can be just as helpful! Share the images that come to you during dream time, or draw them if you’re an artist. After a few entries, you’ll see if they have any common threads, or what might be pulling you to start taking action on. Notice where your mind wanders. As you’re going about your normal every day life, you’ll find yourself thinking of seemingly random, odd things like learning to play the ukulele or an idea for a science fiction book. Keep those thoughts in your DayDream journal, with the caveat that you don’t have to take action on any of it! It’s just another way to see what your gut and heart is pointing you to. Try this visualization. Close your eyes and see everything that you’re frustrated with in the moment be stuffed into a balloon and released into the sky. Then see the sky envelop you, giving you the promise that you can do anything with the magic of stardust and sunshine. Withhold judgment as you see what that magic gives you, and what you wish for yourself when it comes to your family, your career, and your lifestyle. Be kind to yourself. It might have been months, years, or even decades since youve last dreamed, so be nice to yourself if you’re having trouble getting the dream machine started. If you know thats you, put a reminder on your phone every day this week to alert you to dream for just 5 minutes at a time. I’ve long held the belief that the key to living a passion-filled, fulfilling career is to follow your lifestyle goals. If you don’t know what they could be, then allow yourself the time, space, and permission to Look Silly and Dream. You’ll find out first-hand how productive it is to your grown-up happiness!
