But for some reason, when it come s to creating your future, tiny is no longer acceptable.Think about what it takes to go on a dreamy vacation and how you get to the point of experiencing it.

Power of Attorney FAQ - Australia-TAS

Power of Attorney FAQ - Australia-TASPower of Attorney FAQ - Australia-TASGeneral InformationWhat is a Power of Attorney?A Power of Attorney is a document in which one rolle (the Donor) appoints aleidher person (the Attorney) to act for him or her. There are many reasons why you might want to appoint someone else to look after your financial affairs. For example, if you are going to be out of the country for a lengthy period of time, you might want someone to do your banking while you are gone. If you are approaching old age, you may want to give a Power of Attorney to a person you trust so that he or she can manage your property for you.What are the differences between enduring and ordinary Powers of Attorney?There are two major types of Powers of Attorney ordinary and enduring.An ordinary Power of Attorney is only valid as long as the Donor is capable of acting for him or herself. If the Donor dies or becomes mentally incompetent, the Power of Attorney is invalidated.An Enduring Po wer of Attorney remains valid even if the Donor later becomes mentally incompetent. (notenzeichen the Donor must be competent at the time the Power of Attorney is made.)In either case, the Power of Attorney becomes invalid when the Donor dies. A Power of Attorney cannot be used to bequeath property upon the death of the Donor.What are the differences between general and specific Powers of Attorney?A general Power of Attorney is one that gives the Attorney the authority to do anything the Donor could do him or herself. A specific Power of Attorney is one that gives the Attorney authority to act for a particular purpose. (For example to buy or sell a particular piece of property.)Will a Power of Attorney still be valid after the Donor dies?NO. Generally Speaking, when a person dies, the Executor (also called a Personal Representative) appointed in the persons Last Will and Testament takes control of the deceased persons property and distributes it according to the instructions in the Will. If there is no Will (or if the Will is invalid), each jurisdiction has intestacy legislation that distributes the deceased persons property to his or her relatives according to a platzdeckchen of rules. A court generally appoints an Administrator to oversee this process. Unfortunately, the deceased persons wishes are not taken into account during the process (which can be very lengthy), since they have not been formally expressed in the proper manner.Will a Power of Attorney allow me to appoint someone to make welfare and medical decisions on my behalf?In most of Australia, powers of attorney do not give someone the right to make decisions about your welfare or medical treatment. Usually, a medical power of attorney or anticipatory directive is required to deal with non-financial matters. The exception to this rule is found in Australian Capital Territory and Queensland. In the Australian Capital Territory you can use your Enduring Power of Attorney to appoint someone to run y our everyday affairs (other than property and money) and consent to medical treatment and medical donation while you are incapacitated. In Queensland you can use your Enduring Power of Attorney to appoint someone to make personal and health decisions when your capacity is impaired.The DonorWho is the Donor?The Donor is the person who needs someone else to act for him or her. The Donor must be an adult. The Donor must be capable of making his or her own decisions at the time the Power of Attorney is executed (signed).What is incapacity?A person is incapable of managing property if the person is unable to understand information relevant to making a decision about the management of property, or if the person cannot appreciate the foreseeable consequences of making (or not making) a decision about the management of property.The AttorneyWho is the Attorney?The person appointed by the Donor is called the Attorney. The Attorney is the person who acts for the Donor.Does the Attorney have to be a lawyer?No, there is no need for the Attorney to be a lawyer. (See below for Attorney qualifications.)What qualifications does an Attorney need to have?The Attorney must be a capable adult. The Attorney cannot be an undischarged bankrupt. The Attorney should not be the owner, operator or employee of a nursing home or extended care facility in which the Donor is a resident.What qualities should I look for in an Attorney?Your Attorney must be someone whom you trust completely. In addition, remember that your Attorney will have complete authority to deal with your financial and legal affairs (subject to any limitations or restrictions specified in your Power of Attorney). You should ensure that the person you choose has adequate financial management skills and sufficient time to handle your affairs properly. Your Attorney must be available when required, be able to objectively make decisions and be able to keep accurate financial records.What are the responsibilities of my Attorne y?Your Attorney has the following responsibilities to act in your best interest to keep accurate records of dealings/transaction undertaken on your behalf to act for you with the utmost good faith and to avoid situations where there is a conflict of interest and to keep your property and money separate from their own.Is it okay to appoint a relative as Attorney?Yes, people often appoint relatives as Attorneys.Can my Attorney also be a beneficiary in my will?Yes.What are Joint or Joint Several Attorneys?Sometimes a Donor will want to appoint two Attorneys. In that case the Donor must decide whether the Attorneys will be joint Attorneys or joint and several Attorneys. Joint Attorneys must act together. They must both agree before any action can be taken, and they must both take the same action at the same time. If one is absent, no action can be taken. Joint and several Attorneys can act together or individually. Either one can take an action without consulting the other. If one is a bsent, the other can still act.Place and TimeWhat is Jurisdiction?A jurisdiction is a place that has its own laws. It is a territory with boundaries, such as a state or a province. For example, California is a jurisdiction in the United States, Ontario is a jurisdiction in Canada, Scotland is a jurisdiction in the United Kingdom and Queensland is a jurisdiction in Australia.What is the Governing Law?A Power of Attorney is governed by the law of the jurisdiction where the actions of the Attorney will be performed. Normally, this is the place in which the property of the Donor is located. Therefore, it is not a good idea to appoint an Attorney who resides in a different jurisdiction, unless the property or assets you want the Attorney to deal with are also in the different jurisdiction. If you anticipate that your Attorney will be acting in more than one jurisdiction, you should probably make separate Powers of Attorney for each jurisdiction.Examples If your bank accounts and other pr operty are located in the jurisdiction where you live, you will want to appoint an Attorney who lives in the same jurisdiction. If you live in one jurisdiction but have a bank account or other property someplace else, and you want an Attorney to deal with that property, you will want to choose the place where the property is located as the governing law, and appoint an Attorney who is located in (or is willing to travel to) the same jurisdiction as the property.When does a Power of Attorney start?A Power of Attorney can start on a date specified in the document, or upon the occurrence of an event (such as disability or incompetence). If there is no specified date or event, a Power of Attorney starts immediately upon execution.musiknote Some jurisdictions do not allow powers of attorney that start on the occurrence of an event.How/when does a Power of Attorney end?An ordinary Power of Attorney ends automatically when the Donor becomes mentally incapacitated or dies. An Enduring Power of Attorney ends automatically when the Donor dies. As long as you are mentally capable, you may revoke your Power of Attorney at any time by notifying your Attorney (in writing) that the Power is revoked and destroying the original Power of Attorney. Otherwise, a Power of Attorney continues in effect indefinitely, unless the document specifies an end date.Can I revoke my Power of Attorney after I have become incompetent?A person who is incompetent cannot revoke an Enduring Power of Attorney. However, an ordinary Power of Attorney is automatically revoked when the Donor is found to be incompetent.How do I revoke my Power of Attorney?You can revoke, or cancel, a Power of Attorney by giving your Attorney a written notice saying that his or her power has ended. Also, you may make a new Power of Attorney that states your previous Power of Attorney is now revoked (but you must still notify the previous Attorney of the revocation). Third parties (e.g., people or organisations that have b een dealing with the Attorney) must also be notified. Additionally, if your Power of Attorney is registered you must also register the revocation.Please note that if you fail to inform your attorney of the revocation, your Attorney can legally continue to make decisions on your behalf.PowersShould I put restrictions on my Attorney?When you give a general Power of Attorney, you give your Attorney the authority to do anything you could do yourself, with a few exceptions - such as areas where you possess skills that your attorney doesnt (e.g. if you are a dentist, you cannot authorise your Attorney to practice dentistry on your behalf). But there may be some things you would prefer your Attorney did not do. For example, you may want to require that your Attorney get prior approval from you before signing cheques for large amounts on your account.Should my Attorney be allowed to personally benefit from managing my assets?If the person you are appointing as your Attorney is also a member of your family or a beneficiary in your will, you may want that person to be able to personally benefit from managing your assets, since you intend that person to become owner of the assets eventually. Generally, however, it is probably not a good idea to allow your Attorney to personally benefit from managing your assets as this creates a conflict of interest for your Attorney, who is legally obligated to act in your best interest, not his or her own best interest.What can the Attorney do?The Attorney may transact business respecting the Donors property in all areas specified by the Donor.Is the Attorney obligated to do anything?Generally speaking, the Attorney is not obligated to act for the Donor. However, in some circumstances the Attorney may agree, in writing, to accept an obligation to take action when necessary. When the Attorney acts on behalf of the Donor, the Attorney must act in the best interest of the Donor.Does my Attorney have the authority to act while I am still a vailable and able to take care of my own finances?Generally speaking, a Power of Attorney is effective as soon as it is executed (signed and witnessed, etc.) whether or not the Donor is available or able to handle his or her own affairs. However, the document might specify that it will only be effective under certain conditions. For example, some Powers of Attorney specify that they will not come into effect unless and until the Donor has become mentally incompetent to handle his or her own finances. Note Some jurisdictions do not allow Powers of Attorney that commence upon the occurrence of a condition or event such as mental incapacity.Signing DetailsWhat does it mean to execute a document?When a person executes a document, he or she signs it with the proper formalities. For example If there is a legal requirement that the signature on the document be witnessed, the person executes the document by signing it in the presence of the required number of witnesses.How should I sign my Power of Attorney document?To be valid, you must sign the document with your usual cheque signing signature. You should also initial each page of the document. The signing and the initialing of the pages must occur in the presence of your notary or witness(es).After you have signed and initialed your document in front of your notary or witness(es), your notary or witness(es) must sign on the applicable page of the Power of Attorney and should initial each page. This must occur in your presence.Can anybody act as a witness?Your witness(es) cannot be your spouse, partner, child, your Attorney or alternate Attorney, or the spouse of your Attorney or alternate Attorney. Some jurisdictions disallow witnesses that are mentioned in your will, either as beneficiary or executor/executrix. You should generally avoid having witnesses that have any financial relationship with you. The witness(es) must be of legal age in your jurisdiction, they must have capacity and be mentally capable of manag ing their property and making their own decisions.Does it matter where the Power of Attorney document is signed and witnessed?If your document will be used in a different jurisdiction - but not in a foreign nation - there is no problem with having the document signed and witnessed where you live, rather than where the document will be used. The witnessing requirements (number of witnesses required, whether or not notarisation is needed) should still be those of the place where the Power of Attorney will be used, however.Can I use my Power of Attorney in a different state/territory?Some territories and states have mutual recognition provisions in their Power of Attorney legislation which provide portability of powers within Australia. Before trying to use a power of attorney created in a different jurisdiction review the legislation of the jurisdiction where you wish to use the power of attorney to ensure that your Power of Attorney will be accepted.What if my Power of Attorney will be used in a foreign nation?If your document is intended to be used in a foreign nation, you may have to have it authenticated or legalised. This is a process whereby a government official (e.g., the Secretary of State, the Foreign Office, the Office of the Attorney General - depending on where you live) certifies that the signature of the authority (e.g., notary or solicitor) on your document is authentic and should be accepted in the foreign nation. For more information about document authentication and legalisation, contact the local consulate/embassy of the foreign country your document will be going to, or one of the following government web sitesUnited States https//travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal-considerations/judicial/authentication-of-documents/office-of-authentications.html/Australia dfat.gov.au/brisbane/index.htmlOther Considerations Do I have to pay my Attorney?Depending on the kind of relationship you have with the person who will be acting as your Attorney, y ou will have to consider whether they should be paid for their services. You can stipulate in your document that your Attorney will not receive any payment except the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses, or you can agree to pay your Attorney a specified amount. If you prefer, you can authorise your Attorney to pay him or herself a reasonable amount for acting for you. However, you do not need to pay your Attorney for the power to be effective. Generally, payment is only made when a trust company or other professional person/organisation is acting as your Attorney.Should I have my Attorney prepare financial statements?You can require your Attorney to prepare periodical financial statements and send them to your accountant, lawyer or some other person you choose. This is a good deal of work, however, and most people do not require it of unpaid Attorneys.Note Attorneys should keep records of their actions.What are co-owned assets?If your Attorney is a family member, you may be join t owners of property. It is important to state this in your document, so that third parties dealing with your Attorney understand that the Attorney is entitled to co-own assets with you. Otherwise, the co-owning of assets could give the impression of impropriety.Do I have to record or register my Power of Attorney with the Land Titles Office?Generally speaking, a Power of Attorney has to be registered with a land titles office/department if it could affect real property (land or other real estate). For example, if the Attorney is authorised to mortgage or sell the Donors real estate, or to purchase real estate on behalf of the Donor, the Power of Attorney will probably have to be registered at the appropriate office. Usually there is a fee for registration of the document. Additionally some jurisdictions provide stricter registration requirements. In Tasmania, all Powers of Attorney (whether general or enduring) must be registered with the Recorder of Titles. In Northern Territory, all Enduring Powers of Attorney must be lodged at he Registrar-Generals Office.Is any stamp duty payable on my Power of Attorney?No stamp duty is payable on a Power of Attorney in Tasmania (Duties Act 2001).

3 New Rules of Work to Advance Your Career

3 New Rules of Work to Advance Your Career3 New Rules of Work to Advance Your CareerThe founders of The Muse have a message for you the world of work has changed dramatically over the past few decades, so you need to learn new rules to navigate it. Fortunately, theyve written a book that just launched in April- The New Rules of Work The Modern Playbook for Navigating Your Career- to show you how.I spoke with Kathryn Minshew, one of The Muses founders, about three main job search strategies that she describes in The New Rules of Work (coauthored by cofounder Alexandra Cavoulacos). Read on to learn how professionals in any industry can improve networking skills, establish a personal brand, and leverage social media to get ahead in this brave new world of work.Here are three new rules of work to advance your career1. Take what you think you know about networking and break it.Minshew emphasized the importance of what she terms nuanced networking for todays job seekers. In many ways, beca use of the ease of access to professional networks via social media, expectations for networking have increased, said Minshew. Its not just about the conference circuit or large industry events, but about more casual, more frequent, and less formal interactions.She suggested that any way that you can meet new people- and then foster that connection- is a great start to building your network. The new networking is not about instant gratification, or expecting someone you meet to help get you a job by tomorrow, said Minshew. Once youve formed an alliance online- whether through a Twitter interaction, Facebook group, or introductory email- follow through with additional invitations to continue the dialogue, in person when possible and through social media. It takes time to build trust and long-term relationships.2. Know that branding isnt just for products anymore.In addition to changing networking rules, social media has upped the ante for job seekers in terms of positioning themselve s competitively in the market. Employers want to hire people who have a strong sense of self and can articulate clearly what they bring to the table, explained Minshew. Personal branding is the way not only to stand out with recruiters and hiring managers, but also to establish yourself as an expert in your field. She suggested beginning by determining your brand attributes three or four descriptors that hold the key to your personal brand. Your descriptors should hone in on what is most memorable about you, she said. Once youve identified those attributes, you can spin them into a powerful branding statement to use across all of your job search materials.3. Step up your job search tactics with savvy social media use.Todays job seekers have many more options than just looking at job boards for opportunities. Minshew stressed the importance of being proactive by using online platforms and tools to help you find openings. You may already be effectively using LinkedIn to identify possi ble positions, but the smartest approach is to combine several strategies, she said. In addition to having your existing social networks help you locate jobs, you can also rely on social sites and career platforms (yes, The Muse is one of them) to help you keep tabs on your dream companies. Plus, you can continue job searches online and tap your network for referrals and introductions.As a job seeker, you have more to master than ever to increase your chances of landing the position you want. But with some extra effort and proactive planning, you can master the new rules of work and come out ahead in your career.Start Your Job Search

To find the right openings you had to either be approached by an executive recruiter, or hear through word-of-mouth, Meyer welches quoted at HuffPost. Both scenarios are out of your direct control, and its a very time consuming and highly inefficient process to find these hidden jobs.One way that executives find out about open positions is by being contacted through recruiters. With ExecTh read, these recruiter interactions and other information are crowdsourced and shared with its members. Jobs can be searched like other job boards, but additional details (such as the name of the hiring manager) are only unlocked when a user redeems points earned by contributing other unlisted jobs and data to the board.Admission to ExecThread isnt a given. Executives must apply and be approved.Attract Executive Recruiters on LinkedInWhen it comes to important executive positions, incoming job applications arent a priority for headhunters and corporate recruiters.

Get facetime with as many people as possible.Here are some other ways to network and position yourself for an opportunityFacilitate and Give BackWe want to help those who have helped us.

Those opportunities can turn into permanent positions in some cases.On your LinkedIn profile, addend your headlinewith Consultant to turn up in search results.Emphasize keywords like strategy, change management, and industry-specific skills relevant to your skillset throughout your profile.There is an old rule of thumb that a job search should take one month for every $10,000 you hope to earn. That really adds up once you get to the executive level. The scarcity of positions can lead to a long executive job search thats only drawn out by ineffective practices or sitting around waiting for something to happen.

5 TV shows that surprisingly teach you a lot about business5 TV shows that surprisingly teach you a lot about businessWhen in doubt, consult Mad Men? Your fave show might not just be good for entertainment, but it can teach you a few life and career lessons, too. These five shows are both interesting and truly informative to anyone interested in learning the trade of business (or even how to handle the working dynamic at a company). Youre watching Parks and Rec, and the next thing you know, youre getting a grand-slam promotion (We like to dream)1. Parks And RecreationTheres nothing Leslie Knope cant teach you The shows plot centers on a handful of professionals, including Knope, running a local government. You learn a lot about the struggles of raising money on a smaller scale, working with conflicting personalities and dealing with competition.2. Shark TankIf youve never watched the show before, youre missing out on some action. Each episode, a number of people are chosen to pitch t heir entrepreneurial ideas to a group of investors. The stakes are high (as are tensions), and you see firsthand how investing, as well as pitching and executing deals work.3. Mad MenWhile you may have blown through the seasons gushing about Don Draper, the series proves to be a genius tool in highlighting sexism and the empowerment (and lack of empowerment) of women during a tumultuous time. Peggy, the secretary-turned-copywriter, is a prime example of how even in the 60s, women kicked major ass in male-dominated fields.4. House Of CardsAs the shows star, Frank Underwood, works to get from Democratic congressman to the big leagues, you pick up on some serious themes. For example, you learn how to treat employees (which isnt his strong suit) and how to recover from setbacks (where he excels).5.

Where you live may be the most important career choice you make

Where you live may be the most important career choice you make Where you live may be the most important career choice you make What does it take to succeed? You may have heard the adage “it’s not what you know, it’s who you know.” And there’s truth to that. But before you can find the  who, you first have to find the  where.I’ve  written before  that every story of success is really a story of community. But community is not just a group of people. It’s a place.This was one of the central ideas in my latest book,  Real Artists Don’t Starve.  You need a  scene  where you are challenged to do your best work.So how do you find one?Genius Is a Team  SportFirst, let’s be clear:  You don’t do your best work alone. No one does.  In the words of  Keith Sawyer, genius is a group effort, not the result of any single person’s accomplishments.Genius is a group effort.What looks like a stroke of insight is often the accumulation of years of hard work from multiple individuals. Not only are we influenced by the work of others. Our  environments shape who we become  and therefore what we do.So if you want to do better work, the best thing you can do is put yourself around those who are already doing that work.When we look at the lives of successful artists, writers, and creatives, we don’t just see a collection of serendipitous moments. We see a series of events and connections that allow a person’s work to thrive. We see strategy.Often, these events are more intentional than they seem. It’s not just luck that leads to success. It’s choice. And one of the most important choices you can make is where you choose to live.It’s not luck that leads to success. It’s choice.The Rule of the SceneSurrounding yourself with successful people does not just happen. In fact, I would argue that more often than not a person finds herself in the right place at the right time because she put herself there.We all need the right environment to challenge and inspire us to do our best work, and in this article I want to show you how to seek out such a place.The Rule of the Scene, as I call it, says it’s easier to go where creative work is already happening than it is to will yourself to be more creative.There are three elements necessary for a thriving creative scene: The right people to influence and challenge your work. A place to gather and connect with those people. A purpose for gathering so that you continue to connect. That’s what you need to create a scene. Now, let’s explore how to find one.The Hemingway Strategy: Join a SceneIn 1921, a fledgling writer named Ernest Hemingway moved from Chicago to Paris. He went there to join a group of expatriate writers and artists living on the Left Bank, because an author he admired told him it was where the most interesting people in the world lived.In Paris, Hemingway met a group of creative minds unlike he had ever before see. By living there, he was influenced by them and in less than a decade would become one of the most famous authors of that century.None of this was an accident. Where Ernest Hemingway lived and who he became are related. Joining a scene is not just about moving. It’s about finding the place and people you need the most to succeed and who hopefully need you, too and becoming a necessary part of that community.Joining a scene is not just about moving. It’s about becoming a necessary part of the community. Hemingway went to Paris to learn from established literary giants and follow in their footsteps. And what better classroom for a young writer than Paris in the 1920s, where you were likely to bump into James Joyce at a cafe or Pablo Picasso at Gertrude Stein’s weekly gathering of artists?He went to the place where creativity was already happening and reaped the benefits of such move.You can do the same today.It’s Not Just Who You KnowParis in the 1920s was what historians call a “genius cluster,” a term used to describe areas that produce inordinate amounts of creative output. Often, these places are a surprise to us, as with Florence being the birthplace of the Renaissance or Silicon Valley launching the Information Age.But sometimes, if you’re paying attention, you can discover these opportunities as they’re unfolding. This is what I believe Hemingway did he saw the genius cluster happening and decided to join it. We can do the same, because all around us, we find scene s: Each year, aspiring actors relocate to L.A. and New York in search of their big break. Musicians move to Nashville to try and “make it.” Hopeful entrepreneurs find themselves in San Francisco or Austin to chase down a dream of launching a startup. Scenes abound. Our job is to recognize the right places for the work we want to do. Not all scenes are created equal and where you choose to live will affect the work you do. So consider each potential place with care.In the case of Hemingway, he intuitively grasped his need for the right teachers to help him write the way he wanted. He also recognized the importance of gatekeepers in establishing him as a prominent literary voice. All those things he needed, he found in Paris.But he didn’t just move to Paris to join those influences. He became a part of their community by teaching Ezra Pound to box, by helping Gertrude Stein get published, and by lending his editing skills to a literary magazine.He didn’t just move. He joined the scene. This is an essential part of the process: It’s not just who you know that leads to success. It’s who you help.All these efforts allowed Hemingway to rise to the top of a list of young writers who had all flocked to Paris with similar aspirati ons. But today, we remember one man’s name above them all and it’s because he made the most of an opportunity when others did not.If you’re trying to find a scene to join, consider the following: What do you really want to do? Who is doing that kind of work right now? Where can you find the most influential voices in your industry, and how can you help them? Go where those people are, even just temporarily, and find a way to join the scene. It just might change everything.The Brönte Strategy: Create Your Own SceneAlmost every time I talk about scenes, someone asks: “But what if I can’t move? Do I have to relocate myself halfway around the world to find my scene? Am I out of luck?”Not necessarily. Not all of us are able to pack up our things and move at a moment’s notice. That’s not always the best strategy, anyway.Sometimes, we need to leave home in search of new opportunities. Other times, the smarter strategy is to stay put and create a new scene. Let’s look at a group of writers who did just that: The Brönte sisters.In the early nineteenth century, Haworth, England was a small, rural community devoid of literary opportunity. Patrick Brönte was a clergyman and widower who had moved his daughters there to keep them guarded from exposure to the outside world. To pass the time and amuse themselves, the children told each ot her stories.One day, one of the girls found a poem written by her younger. The older sister shared that she, too, had been writing in secret. Before long, all three sisters Emily, Charlotte, and Anne confessed to being closet writers and began a literary collaboration that would last a lifetime.The sisters went on to write some of the most influential works of English literature, and it all began in a small village, far from the reaches of civilization. These young women didn’t have to leave home to find their scene. Because for every Hemingway in Paris, there’s a Bronte from Haworth.Sometimes, the community we need is closer than we think.Make the First MoveYou need a scene. That much is clear. You need a place where you will be challenged and inspired to do your best work. This requires all of us to get out of our comfort zones.For some of us, finding a scene may mean a move across the room, as was the case with the Bröntes. For others, it may mean a move overseas, as in the case of Hemingway. In any case, you’re going to have to get a little uncomfortable to find the right people and place for your work.You must move. Standing still is not an option. Everyone wants a scene, but someone has to go first.If you’re trying to create a scene and wondering if such a thing is possible where you are, do the following:Pay attention. Look around and see if others are doing the kind of work you want to do. Go first. Find a way to to bring people together around a common interest maybe it’s a meetup or a book club and see what connections are made. Keep people connected. Use a Facebook group or Slack channel to keep folks in touch with each other in between meetings so the next time you gather it’s a reunion, not an introduction. This is always how scenes are formed. We all want to be seen and heard and challenged. But most of us are waiting for someone else to take that first step. To offer the excuse for us all to come together. To move.Maybe that person can be you.The Gale Strategy: A Scene within a SceneLet’s look at one final and more recent example.Every year, Eric Gale, a blogger and author comes to a small conference in Nashville called Tribe Conference.He doesn’t just show up for the event, though. For three years in a row, Eric has hosted the unofficial meet-up for local writers in the area, many whom are there just for the conference.No one asked him to do this. No one is paying him. He just saw a need to bring people together and took the initiative. He was hungry enough for connection with those who had similar goals and interests that he decided to do something about it.And for three years, people have followed Eric’s lead. He did what so many of us want to do but are often too afraid to d o. He saw an opportunity and took action. He created the community he needed.This is the third strategy to consider: Build a community off of an existing community. Create a scene within a scene. Instead of going and finding a scene that requires you to permanently relocate or trying to create a local group, start by doing a little of both.Find a scene that already exists and build a smaller community within the larger one. Use an event or reason that people are already gathering and turn it into an opportunity to connect at a deeper level and stay connected.Who knows what it could lead to.You Need a SceneAs my friend Ally Fallon once wrote, people not only live in places, but “places live in people.” A scene shapes you, makes you into the kind of person you become. To summarize, here’s how you find one whether you do this far away, nearby, or in your own hometown: Find your place. Go where the work is already happening and put yourself out there. Join that community. Buy a ticket to that conference. Do whatever you need to do to get there. Find your people. Become a part of a community by helping others, filling whatever needs you can. Be relentlessly helpful and watch as others follow your lead. Find your purpose. Come up with a reason for gathering on a regular basis. Create an excuse for people to keep coming back together, whether it’s a group project or just a larger “why” behind what you’re doing. Where you live will have significant impact on the work you do, the life you live, and the person you become. So choose that environment wisely. Because once you find your scene, everything changes.Have you found your scene yet?This article was originally published on Medium.

Taking Risks in Your Resume

Taking Risks in Your Resume Taking Risks in Your Resume In order to find work in these treacherous waters (in other words, in this economy), sometimes you have to take risks. Here are some risks worth taking on your resume. Infographic Resume One way to stand out from the crowd is to create an infographic-style resume. Infographics are eye-catching compositions of text and images that often include bright colors and geometric shapes. They turn information into bite-sized, easy-to-scan elements- which is exactly what you want when hooking the interest of a harried human resources manager. Job-hunting expert Pamela Skillings praises infographic resumes. “People love infographics because our brains are wired to respond to visual storytelling. Images grab our attention.” If graphic design isn’t part of your skill set, you can hire a freelancer to create a visual resume for you or use a program like Visualize.Me or Visual.ly. Video Resume Video resumes are a bold choice for job seekers, especially those with a winning personality. To make the most of your video resume, make sure to use a decent camera, good lighting (daylight is better than your desk lamp), and make sure that everything in the frame is clean and professional looking. That means picking up any stray socks or dirty dishes in the room as well as dressing up as if you were going to an interview. Use video editing software to create a high-quality reel; after all, a poorly produced video resume isn’t going to impress anyone. According to Erin Carson from TechRepublic, video resumes aren’t for everyone. Carson advises that “using a video resume to get a job in a more creative field like marketing, might be more effective. Ask yourself if the company youre applying to has the type of culture that would welcome a video more than a regular resume.” Mixed Media Resume There are hundreds of creative ways to make your resume stand out, from wrapping it around a chocolate bar, creating a storybook, or even embroidering your accomplishments on fabric. If you’re going to go the mixed media route, make sure that it reflects your talents and skills. An insurance actuary, for example, probably wouldn’t get much mileage out of a resume designed to look like a movie poster, but someone looking to break into the film industry might. Of course, you want to avoid standing out in a bad way. Grammatical mistakes careless misspellings, misplaced commas, and a host of other easy-to-make errors can negatively impact your chances of getting that interview. No matter what medium you decide to use to present your resume, make sure that you proofread thoroughly. Don’t rely on your word processing program’s spell check; get a trusted friend to look over your resume, and run the text through Grammarly’s automated proofreading tool.

6 Tips for Investigating a Job Offer

6 Tips for Investigating a Job Offer 6 Tips for Investigating a Job Offer When you finally get a job offer, you might not even think twice before accepting it. After all, isn’t that the goal of all your weeks (and maybe months) of dedicated job searching? But not every job offer is a good one, so you’ll need to really assess it before you sign on the dotted line. Put yourself in a position of power by using these tips to investigate a job offer and decide if it’s right for you. 1. Know your worth. If you’ve been job searching for some time, any job offer might look pretty amazing to you right about now. Thing is, not all companies pay the same for similar job titles. That’s why you should check out what the going rate for your job is with a salary calculator. (Both Glassdoor and PayScale offer tools to help you figure out what you’re worth by looking at your job and where you live.) This can give you a good idea if the offer on the table is one worth accepting. 2. Calculate in the commute. The hiring manager calls you with a bonafide job offer. It’s actually pretty good- so good in fact that you think that commuting might not be so bad after all. Unfortunately, even the most amazing job can turn into a nightmare if you’re stuck in traffic commuting to and from work each and every day. Do a dry run first by commuting to the office at the time when you’d have to be there in the morning and when you’d leave to go home. That could be reason enough to convince you to not take the office-bound job- and find a telecommuting job instead. 3. Research the company. During your job interview, your would-be boss boasted that the company was a leader in its industry, and on the cutting edge of innovation. So why are they letting staff go left and right? Don’t always take what you’re being told during an interview at face value. If you’re offered a job with a company, do some research to see if everything adds up. You can check out its Better Business Bureau rating and search it on social media to see if there are any financial red flags you might need to worry about. After all, if you accept a job offer with one company- and then it goes bankrupt or you’re let go- you’ll have to start your job search all over again. 4. Gain some growth perspective. Every job has its required set of responsibilities. Do the ones presented to you in the job offer sound like something that you’d like to do- every day? Or are there other skills that you’d like to be using but won’t be able to in this new role? Consider what you’ll be doing, day in and day out, and then decide if this would make you happy. Remember, you’re ideally accepting a job offer so that you can stay and grow with the company. If those opportunities don’t exist, the job offer might not be worth your while. 5. Pick apart the personalities. You loved the company you interviewed with- but your prospective boss? Eh, sort of. While a sweet job offer (or even multiple job offers!) might have you wearing professional love goggles, that can wear away quickly once you have to report to a boss who’s not really your cup of tea. Try to determine what your boss’ management style would be, and see if it works for you. That way, you’ll know if you’d be a good match or not. 6. See if the job would be a step up. In a perfect world, each job on your career ladder should be an improved version of your previous one. That could mean anything from better benefits, a superior salary, and great work-life balance while also working in a role that both challenges and inspires you. So give this new job a good assessment to see if it fits your criteria. Go through the pluses and minuses of the position to see if it would really work for you, both now and in the future.

13 Tips for Managing Your Companys Manager

13 Tips for Managing Your Company's Manager 13 Tips for Managing Your Company's Manager Are you interested in tips on managing your manager? One of the most common employee complaints revolves around the quality of their management. Some people want more interaction, some want less attention and many people want to be appreciated more by their manager. Employees assume that the nature of this relationship is determined solely or mostly by the manager. In actuality, you can take steps to reshape this relationship with your manager in ways that will add to your job satisfaction. After all, you are the employee with the most to lose if this significant relationship is ineffective. Consequently, you have the most to gain from managing your manager. You will want to use all thirteen of these tips to improve your relationship with your boss. Solid Tips for Managing Your Manager You can take the initiative to inform your manager of your daily or weekly activities and accomplishments, whether asked or not. If your manager typically meets with you weekly, you have the opportunity to update the manager regarding your progress and accomplishments.If this is not standard practice in your organization, tell your manager that you’d like to meet with him periodically, and take the initiative to send meeting invitations.Managers appreciate a simple email executive summary or status report regarding projects you are working on. It will confirm in her mind that you are adding value and being productive. You can send this communication prior to your one-to-one meeting.  This communication may also encourage a brief response that includes recognition for a job well done. These up-date communications will make it easier for your manager to pull together a positive performance review if your company uses them, or a salary increase recommendation when the time comes. They document your contributions in an ongoing manner that is easy to review.If your manager is a worrier or micro-manager, your reports may put him at ease, and eliminate some annoying questioning about your work, or his habit of hovering in your work area. Every manager wants to keep himself in the loop as he is ultimately responsible for the work that his department contributes. For the same reason, you never want to blindside your manager. You don’t want your manager to learn about something you are doing - or didnt get done - from another manager or department.One of the best ways to establish the perception that you have a strong work ethic, and thus should be valued by your boss, is email. Time your email communications early in the morning, late in the evening, or on the weekend. This is especially critical if your office is not located close to your manager. Managers do form an opinion about your work ethic and contributions if all of your communication is from 9 to 5, Monday through Friday. Remember to thank your manager for her time, attention, coaching, and support. Just like employees feel that they dont receive much recognition and gratitude at work, so does your manager. Its just as much your job to express gratitude to her as it is hers to appreciate you. The more the better.Most managers have a time when they are more relaxed and accessible. Get to know your manager’s rhythms and make yourself available for informal dialog at those times and in those places. Getting to know your manager as a person contributes toward a mutually beneficial relationship that can serve you both well. If you think your manager would be agreeable, consider asking him to lunch occasionally to build a stronger rapport. You might be surprised that he is flattered by your interest. If you think your manager would find this situation uncomfortable, ask him or her to join you and a coworker or two for lunch. Managers almost never turn down a small group lunch request. He knows lunch wont be about your problems, needs, or wants when a group is present.  Try to stay tuned to your managers stress level and determine when he is under pressure to produce. Volunteer to help with any emerging crises to relieve some of the pressure on him. Your loyalty will help to build a stronger bond with your manager. The stronger bond will earn your manager’s respect and support. You may even achieve a mentor or promoter/sponsor relationship. As a mentor, your boss can teach you from her experience. As a promoter, your boss can bring your name up when a promotion or plum assignment arises. After all, wouldn’t you like to promote people whom you know and trust?Take charge of your relationship with your manager. He or she has multiple responsibilities and concerns. Taking a few off of your manager’s full plate will build a strong working relationship and enrich your experience at work. It might even launch your successful career.

Clams Give Energy to Biofuels

Clams Give Energy to Biofuels Clams Give Energy to Biofuels Clams Give Energy to Biofuels On the surface, biofuels sound like a great idea. But plants only store two percent of the solar energy that gets to them and will never be efficient enough to solve our energy needs. But theres another lifeform the giant clam that has figured out how to get around this problem. As researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have discovered, these massive, spectacularly colored mollusks know how to make use of most of the sunlight that hits them. The researchers recently duplicated the giant clams methods, paving the way for our own biofuel-driven future. The clam had 300 million years of evolution to sit and think about this, says Alison Sweeney, a professor in the department of physics and astronomy at the university. When the light is distributed evenly among the thick layer of algae living inside the clam, the algae quickly converts the light into energy. Image: University of Pennsylvania Using silica nanoparticles, the researchers have created a system of microbeads that will rest in a gelatin or hydrogel. When coupled with algae in large,inexpensively produced sheets, the synthetic clam may potentially suck more energy from sunlight than our best photovoltaic cells. And, like the clam, they would work at peak efficiency, whatever the strength of the sunlight on any given day, or at any time of day. If successful, the system may propel biofuel from being a next-to-ignored alternative energy to being a major player. The bivalves ingenious solution is twofold. On the wavy surface of its flesh, the giant clam has cells, called iridocytes, which scatter light. The iridocytes are so effective that they send 90 percent of the light that hits them into the deeper flesh of the clam. But, like all animals, the giant clam is unable to photosynthesize. To make use of all the light the iridocytes redirect within its flesh, the clams cultivate pillars of algae inside themselves. Sweeney and her colleagues discovered that at any point along the pillars, the algae are receiving the most light of which they can make use. Its a perfect example of symbiosis, with the clam pumping enough water to provide trace nutrients and nitrogen for itself while the algae provide the raw energy by photosynthesizing enough sunlight for themselves and the clam. The key thing is to couple the scattering to the pillar layout, Sweeney says. To create a similar system, Sweeney set out to copy the mechanics of the iridocytes. They owe their ability to scatter light to tiny structures, roughly the size of a wavelength of visible light, resting inside spherical cells just a few microns in diameter, all of which is sitting on top of this super-duper absorbing layer, as Sweeney puts it. At first, replicating that system seemed like an impossible task. Those tiny structures are parallel protein platelets and the only known way to orient them involves using magnets, which also absorb light. So Sweeney turned to her colleague, Sanaz Vahidinia, a researcher at NASAs Ames Research Center. Vahidinia noticed that the iridocytes resembled dust particles in the rings of Saturn. She suggested that the exact structure of the interior of the spheres might not be so important. An empty sphere acts as a kind of lens as light waves propagate through it and around its edges. Basically, if we mess that up by adding structure to the center of the sphere, instead of having a little microlens, you now have a micro de-lenser as those waves sort of interfere with each other leaving the particle, Sweeney says. After a little modeling it turned out that the best way to mimic the giant clams light-scattering abilities was to use spheres within spheres. The lab should have a benchtop device that works like a clam within a year, Sweeney says. There still are a lot of problems for Sweeney to solve before the world turns to synthetic clams for power. But if it we want our fuel to be bio, the ways of the giant clam are crucial. To my knowledge, the clam is the only thing that has anything useful to say about how you do better with bioenergy at photosynthesis, she says. Michael Abrams is an independent writer. For Further Discussion The clam had 300-million years of evolution to sit and think about this.Prof. Alison Sweeney, University of Pennsylvania
