Blending my kids and my career (ugh)

Blending my kids and my career (ugh) Heres what it looks like to have a flexible schedule for kids and work all day: A computer with a broken K key. Usually I can tell people I cant talk after 1pm. Its when I take care of my kids, and I know better than to think I can have a serious conversation with them around. But now, when Im doing radio and TV for my book, I am not really in the drivers seat when it comes to scheduling. The first time I took an interview after 1pm, I was living in a fantasy world that the kids would sort of care for themselves. Thats the time that somehow, my son who has never displayed a penchant for small-motor skills, dismantled my K key and lost it. I told myself that Id replace it. Can you buy a K on the internet? And then I told myself that I would move the Q key to the K spot. But the truth about having a great flexible schedule where kids and work mix is that there is never any time for things like replacing a K. So I just learned to come up with words that dont require it. And I continued. But then I get a day like the one when Fox News calls me at 3pm. I cant tell them call me back, right? Its not like Im endorsing Fox News here, but I am endorsing the idea that being on Fox will sell some copies of my book. So I take the call. But it is not good news. It is good news that they want to talk with me about my opinions about cancelling email at work to increase productivity. You can imagine, I have a lot of opinions on this completely inane idea from some luddite CEO who cant get a handle on his inbox. But my two-year-old is trailing me, not really being noisy, but doing things that need some attention, like investigating the lamp switch. At first I pay a little attention to him and a little attention to Fox. But you know how right before you are going to die you have ten thousand thoughts in one second? I had that I had ten thousand thoughts about how this is my big break in television and I am messing it up by letting myself get distracted by my kid. I am not being as scintillating to the producer as I could be. All this in one second. And in the next second, I am taking out a box of Cheerios and letting my son dump them on the floor. This is very interesting to him. For a minute. Then, when I fear he might be getting up to do something Id have to pay attention to, I take out Coco Puffs. He dumps. Then walks. Then stomps. By the end of the call, I have endeared myself to Fox, I think. But you can imagine the house: Crunchy and disgusting. So it is no surprise that when I have a radio interview at 4pm, I plan an intricate babysitting scheme where I give up hours on three days to get extra hours on the day of my interview. And then the babysitter is sick. Of course. So I try to weasel out of the interview, but I worry that this is something that women with kids are known for. (Are they?) So I take the kids to swimming and I plan a scheme where they are nonchalantly eating junk food next to the TV when its time for my radio interview, and then I sort of disappear. But other kids come and then I have to reveal to the other parents that Im dumping my kids in front of the swimming TV. And then the radio show is late, so I have to reveal to the manager that my kids might be unruly and there is actually no one supervising them. The manager is so nice that she lets me stand in the broom closet so there is no background pool noise. So this weekend I decided that I need to get a grip. I dont want to be the book author who does interviews from broom closets. The thing is, I dont really know how to solve that problem right now. So I solved the problem I could, and I bought a new computer: Check out my new K. Its everywhere.

Personal Branding Interview Adam Penenberg - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

Personal Branding Interview Adam Penenberg - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career Today, I spoke to Adam Penenberg,who is the author of Viral Loopand has written for Forbes, The New York Times, Fast Company, Inc., Slate, Wired, The Economist, Mother Jones and Playboy. Currently hes a Contributing Writer to Fast Company.   In this interview, Adam introduces us to the concept of a viral loop, and then explains the power of virality, how social media isnt a fad, how brands cant be controlled anymore, and more. What is a viral loop? A viral expansion loop is accomplished by incorporating virality into the functionality of a product. In plain English, it means a company grows because each new user begets more users. Just by using a product they spread it. After all, whats the sense of being on Facebook if none of your friends are, or using Flickr if you cant share your photos? Why post an item for sale on eBay if no one is around to bid on it, or use PayPal if no one accepts it? Many iconic companies of our timeâ€"Hotmail, eBay, PayPal, MySpace, YouTube, Facebook, relative newcomers like Digg, LinkedIn, Twitter and Flickr, as well as hundreds of widget makers navigating the emerging social media economyâ€"are viral loop companies. While a negative feedback loop can create a vicious circle and drive investors to dump stocks, further pushing down the market, leading to more bad news and inducing others to sell, and so on, a viral expansion loop is the opposite: a type of positive feedback loop, a virtuous circle. The result is a type of alchemy that done right, leads to a self-replicating, borg-like growth. Put another way, a viral expansion loop is like compounding interest on a bank account: One user becomes two, then four, eight, to a million and more. Not unlike taking a penny and doubling it every day for a month: By the end of a week youd have 64 cents and within two weeks, $83.92; by day 30, about $5.4 million. By day 38 you top $1 billion. Its no wonder that viral loops have emerged as perhaps the most significant business accelerant to hit Silicon Valley since the search engine. Can virality really be controlled, or is it like trying to catch lightning in a bottle? Absolutely. If you design a product to spread virally its possible to build a multi-million or even billion-dollar business from scratch. No advertising or marketing budget, no need for a sales force, and venture capitalists will kill for the chance to throw money at you. Of course, this may sound too good to be true, like some dodgy get rich quick scheme from a late night cable TV infomercial or the latest spam come-on on to hit your inbox. But the trick is to create something people really want, so much so that their customers happily spread their product for them through their own social networks of friends, family, colleagues and peers. Thats one of the beautiful things about the Web: You can nurture a business like never before and achieve almost cosmic valuations in record time. When a business grows exponentially, each user spreading the product to more than one other user, human behavior, in large enough numbers, becomes largely predictable. We seek to pass on interesting or funny memes or products to our personal social networks, whether they are included in our email address books, part of our collection of friends on Facebook, visitors to our blog or participants on discussion threads. You can measure this phenomenon; its called a viral coefficient. If it is above 1, and on average each user successfully induces more than one other person to also try the product, the result is exponential growth. And this is a powerful growth driver. Because the larger you get, the more you grow. Look at Facebook, which is still experiencing exponential growth. After it hit 250 million users, Facebook gained 50 million new users in the span of two months. Its on track to crack half a billion users by the end of this year. In your book you say social media is no fad, its something we are biological driven to do. Can you explain? Increasingly there is your public selfâ€"the person you present to the physical worldâ€"your personal self (who you are when you are alone) and your digital self, which reaches far beyond the other two. If you spend time online many more people know youâ€"or think they know youâ€"through your digital self, which can be as (or more) real to them than your real self. Indeed, peoples perceptions of you can be quite vivid. Two Washington University in St. Louis researchers scanned the brains of fiction readers and concluded that they create intense, graphic mental simulations of sights, sounds, movements and tastes they encounter in the narrative by activating the same brain regions used in processing similar real-life experiences. The memes we create spread virally, far beyond our networks of friends, relatives, acquaintances and colleagues. Once they leave our brains and hit the Webs viral plain, they are out of your control and can take on a life of their own. Then you become more tha n just a guy trying to hold onto a job and pay down your mortgage. You are a brand that must be managed. With apologies to Marshall McLuhan, the medium is not the message. You are. Why do we do it? What explains our Blackberry-bearing, Twitter-tweeting, Facebook friend with the need for constant connectivity? As facile as it may sound we do it because we are hard-wired to socialize. Its in our best interests. Social networking makes us happy and online or off-, all of this congregating is merely a product of biological necessity. Research indicates that engaging with friends helps us live longer and better lives, with those with strong friendship bonds having lower incidents of heart disease. They even get fewer colds and flu. A decade-long Australian study found that for the duration of the study subjects with a sizable network of friends were 22 percent less likely to pass away than those with a small circle of friendsâ€"and the distance separating two friends and the amount of contact made no difference. It didnt matter if the friends stayed in contact via phone, by letter or email. Just the fact they had a social network of friends acted as a protective bar rier. A research project by Paul J. Zak, a professor of Economics and the founding Director of the Center for Neuroeconomics Studies at Claremont Graduate University, found that when a test subject learns that another person trusts him, the level of oxytocin, a hormone that circulates in his brain, rises. The stronger the signal of trust, the more oxytocin increases, wrote Zak, whose primary interest is neuroeconomics, a discipline that attempts to gauge how the brains neurologic functions process decisions involving money. And trust, Zak learned, begets trust: The more oxytocin swimming around your brain, the more other people trust you. Notably, his test subjects had no direct contact with one another. All of their interactions took place by computer and with people whose identity they didnt know. Trust works as an ‘economic lubricant’ that affects everything from personal relationships to global economic development, Zak says. Although he didnt explicitly state it, trust is also an integral part of social networking. Another trust study discovered that when an investor in an experimental game was given a dose of oxytocin he was more likely to allow someone else to control his money no questions asked. The substance, which is sometimes referred to as the cuddle hormone, has also been found to increase generosity and decrease fear and been associated with maintaining healthy interpersonal relationships and is a key to bonding. Taken together, research strongly indicates that we are biologically driven to commingle online and off. Fortunately, as big as the world is, we are never far from one another. We are not, as the saying goes, six degrees of separation from one anyone. Its actually closer to 6.6â€"at least thats what a Microsoft researcher estimated after combing through 30 billion electronic conversations over the companys instant-messaging network in June 2006. How can someone control their brand at a time when anything and everythingâ€"the good, the bad, and the uglyâ€"has the potential to spread virally and affect how people view us? To a certain degree you have to let go. You cant control opinions about you that spread far and wide. But you can fight viral memes with your own viral memes. Stay abreast of what is said about you or your company and confront those propagating information about you. If you are a company you need to redress customers complaints fast, because nowadays a call to an abusive customer rep can end up becoming the equivalent of a hit single. Or snarky commentary about a computer company (OK, its Dell) can suddenly spread through the blogosphere and Twitter land, and suddenly you have a crisis PR moment. Mark Cuban, the billionaire owner of the Dallas Mavericks, conducts almost every interview with the media via email, because he can keep a written trail. There have been times he believes he was misquoted, or his views taken out of context, and he has posted the entire email trail on his blog. His blog sometimes gets more traffic than the original piece about him, which enables him to effect ively parry what he views as unfair coverage. Jason Calacanis, a serial entrepreneur and founder of Mahalo, the human-powered search engine, told me that social media, like blogs, are truth-seeking technologies. In fact, the Internet itself is the greatest truth-generating device ever created. Everything in our lives gets put into the Internet, mashed up, manipulated and eventually spit back out as the truth. Im not sure thats completely right. Everything does get spit up as information, but it can be either true, partly true or varying shades of false. I agree with Jason that taken in its totality the truth is out there. Your job then is to point people to your version of it. You are a journalist and journalism professor. How does publishing Viral Loop extend your personal brand? Viral Loop was an irresistible project for me. I first heard of the term viral loop from Marc Andreessen, who conceived and co-coded the first widespread Web browser (Mosaic) and was a co-founder of Netscape. I was interviewing e was explaining how his latest venture, Ning, was growing so quickly, through something he called a viral expansion loop. Then explained that some of the highest flying companies in history had tapped viral loops to grow to millionsif not hundreds of millions of usersand in many cases became billion-dollar companies over the span of just a few years. Id never heard of viral loops. Neither had anyone I askedjournalists, entrepreneurs, tech-savvy professionals. Yet Marc was indisputably right. Companies like Skype, Facebook, eBay, PayPal, Twitter and many others had grown virally, achieving a viral expansion loop. In some case (PayPal and Skype, for instance), the product was conceived and designed to spread virally. In others it was completely by accident. It was right under our noses, an incredibly powerful growth engine that took advantage of one of the defining characteristics of the Internet. Yet no one had written about it. As a journalist who often writes about the impact that technology has on business, culture, politics and entertainment, I think Viral Loop was the perfect book for me to pursue. I originally pitched it as a cross between Tipping Point, by Malcolm Gladwell and Chris Andersons The Long Tail. This was, of course, salesmanship, part of the publishing game you play. But I had 5 publishers bid on the proposal and an auction that lasted three days. I even got to interview a couple of the editors bidding against one another, and both said the same thing: Every week we receive book proposals from authors who claim their book is the next Tipping Point of Long Tail. But Viral Loop is. Their point was that Viral Loop explains something that is so fundamental to how we live and do business. I dont profess to know if it will sell a tenth as many copies as either book, but I do believe it is a book for its time. Getting back to how publishing Viral Loop extends my personal brand, I didnt stop at simply writing about viral loops. I worked with Studioe9, a top web design and social marketing firm in NY, to develop a proof of concept for Viral Loop. In essence, we sought to create a viral loop business to promote a book about viral loops. The Viral Loop widget, which you can download at apps.facebook.com/viralloop, tells you what you and your friends are worth to Facebook, based on your level of engagement, your friends activity level, and your influence. After all, Facebook wouldnt be Facebookand have a valuation north of $6 billionif it werent for the 300 million people on it. Users have value. We tell you how much. Theres also a leader board published on fastcompany.com that lists the top 20 Viral Loop Facebook app users and their respective values, as well as a list of top celebrities on Facebook. I dont know exactly what this tells us about the times we live in, but according to Facebooks own data, Adam Sandler and Ashton Kutcher are worth more to Facebook than God is. Adam Penenberg is the author of Viral Loop and has written for Forbes, The New York Times, Fast Company, Inc., Slate, Wired, The Economist, Mother Jones and Playboy. A former Senior Editor at Forbes and reporter for Forbes.com, Penenberg garnered national attention in 1998 for unmasking serial fabricator Stephen Glass of The New Republic.     His first book, Spooked: Espionage in Corporate America (Perseus Books, 2000), was excerpted in The Sunday New York Times Magazine and received a starred review in Publishers Weekly. His second, Tragic Indifference: One Mans Battle With the Auto Industry Over the Dangers of SUVs (HarperBusiness, 2003) was optioned for the movies by Michael Douglas and excerpted in USA Today.

Love is in the Office Air

Love is in the Office Air Attitudes and expectations in the workplace are changing in a number of ways. One of the most notable areas in which change is occurring is the topic of office relationships. As younger generations continue to fill a larger proportion of the workforce, they bring with them a new set of beliefs and judgments. This is resulting in a re-evaluating of the subject of office romance in workplaces across the country. For HR employees and policymakers, there are a few key takeaways as you look to adapt your organization’s policy. Office romances are becoming more common Once heavily frowned upon in the office, relationships with colleagues are occurring with more regularity today than ever before. According to a recent study from Viking, 68% of people in the workplace have been involved in an office romance. It’s a trend that’s continuing to grow Generation Z and Millennials make up a greater proportion of the workforce. Almost three-quarters (74%) of 24-35-year olds said they’d been involved in an office romance, compared to just 62% of over 55s. Some of these flourishes into legitimate relationships, but sex with colleagues is also on the rise. 29% of 24-35-year olds have had a one-night stand with a colleague, compared to just 13% of over 55s. The evidence points to a more liberal outlook from younger generations when it comes to office romance. Those in HR must recognize this trend and act upon it. Policies aren’t well communicated The best way that can be done is with a workplace romance policy. This would highlight acceptable behaviors and considerations staff need to take into account before engaging in a relationship with a colleague. It should also cover subjects such as dating a manager. 15% of those who have had an office relationship did so with a manager. More stringent policies might be needed here if businesses are to avoid any negative outcomes. At present, it’s an area where businesses are found lacking. More than two-thirds (67%) have been left unaware of an office relationship policy, or without one altogether. 36% of people said they are unaware of their employer’s policy on relationships in the office. A further 31% said their organization doesn’t have one at all. They can hit productivity Without clarity on the acceptability of office relationships, those considering engaging in one can fall into some damaging pitfalls. It can lead to a drop in that employee’s ability to complete their role â€" as evidenced in the statistics. 37% of the workforce said it decrease productivity and creativity, 26% said it becomes a distraction and 22% said it increases stress. The best way to alleviate these problems is by introducing a policy that recognizes and addresses these complications. Reduce distractions by clearly outlining where the company stands on the issue and have a policy that can hold employees to account if their performance suffers. Once you do that, a reduction in stress and productivity can be avoided. There is still a stigma attached Despite employees becoming more likely to engage in an office relationship, the lasting stigma and question marks that arise from the topic do lead to deception. 59% of people who said they’d engaged in an office relationship said they hid it from people in the office, and a third (33%) said they had kept it from the HR department. Again, this is an indication of a lack of clarity and communication from the business. 42% of those in office relationships said that the worst thing they experienced was being the subject of gossip. The modern workforce should be more accepting of office relationships. Businesses that don’t respond only serve to maintain that taboo and increase the likelihood of unwanted gossip. It’s clear that the workforce is becoming more liberal about the idea of relationships in the office. For HR teams, it’s time to meet the trend head-on and create a policy that fits with modern expectations of workplace romance.

Get back on the health bandwagon Your poor, poor liver. Going cold turkey on the alcohol may not be totally advisable, but some moderation, a little bit of clean eating, and some light exercise will do you a whole lot of good. 2. Go to all of your introductory lectures As tempting as it is to just sack all of them off and grab notes off someone else later, you should really,  really go to your introductory lectures. Its not only about all the #learnin youre going to do, but youll also get to meet your new coursemates, and get wind of any important start-of-year department information. 3. Stock up on essential groceries Pasta. Rice. Herbs Spices. You know, the staple stuff you probably eat daily.

Look for a flexible part-time job Your student maintenance loan is probably not going to last you the length of the term. Take a look at the vacancies in your student union, or maybe hit up your unis library to see if theyve got any spots to fill to get that extra dolla   10. Have a look at the extra events your academic department puts on Uni isnt just about lectures, yknow. There are networking events with employers, guest speakers, after-hours drinks and loads more. Take a look on your intranet, or see if your departments academic society has anything on. 11. Buy your textbooks secondhand Dont buy your textbooks first-hand, yo.

7 Reasons Your Resume Was Rejected

7 Reasons Your Resume Was Rejected Your  executive profile  can play a major role in whether you get hired for a job. If you aren’t using the best resume writing services to help you in your job search, you may find your resume is constantly rejected. Instead of giving up on your job search, consider whether one of these reasons applies to your resume. 1. An Overwhelmed Hiring Manager Even hiring managers can become overwhelmed with too much information and may overlook your resume, especially if they feel the content is irrelevant. This is why it’s important to determine the exact information that impacts your ability to do the job and stick to that information alone. 2. Missing That Certain Something Cover letter writing services  can help you determine if you’re missing something critical that could be preventing you from getting the job. While sometimes this missing factor may be beyond your control, there may be other factors you need to highlight or potentially leave off your resume and cover letter for the best results. 3. Relocation Issues If you’re applying for a job that requires you to relocate, one of the biggest issues can be when you are able to make the move. In some situations, your timeline may not line up with the requirements of the job. Therefore, it’s important to make sure you are flexible with your moving plans to eliminate this issue. 4. You Don’t Have a Job In many cases, employers are looking for people who are already currently employed. While unemployed individuals aren’t always in their situation due to their own fault, it seems like companies view it as a negative. However, this can be one of the most difficult elements to fix. It may work well to work for a temp agency for a while to flesh out your resume. 5. Staffing Agencies Can Also Hurt While a staffing agency can be a great way to fill in your employment gap if you’re unemployed, going through one to get the job you want may not be your best option. Some hiring managers purposely ignore these resumes or put them at the bottom of the pile. 6. Incorrect Job Descriptions You expect businesses to create accurate job listings, but like anyone else, individuals in charge can make mistakes. Because you use this description to create your executive profile, you may not be as good of a fit as you thought when errors exist. 7. Social Media Paints a Poor Picture The  best resume writing services  may be able to make you look good on paper, but what do you look like online? More businesses today are using social media to determine if people are a good fit for their business. Before you apply, make sure you clean up your social media to eliminate anything that may be offensive or misconstrued in a negative light.
