6 Tips for Dealing with Insomnia During a Job Search

6 Tips for Dealing with Insomnia During a Job Search 6 Tips for Dealing with Insomnia During a Job Search Talk about an unwanted cycle. Anxiety over finding a position can keep job seekers up at night, and then failure to get proper rest can make it harder to conduct a productive search the next day. How can you get the ZZZs you need to perform your best when dealing with insomnia? Try these tips for dealing with insomnia  during a job search: 1. Schedule downtime. Don’t expect your brain to switch gears immediately. Performing tasks right up until bedtime may seem admirable, but it likely will do more harm than good. Instead, quit at least an hour or so before you want to sleep. Choose a relaxing activity such as reading or listening to music to destress. Turn off electronics, even if you only intend to mindlessly surf or go on Facebook. According to Harvard, the blue light emitted may interfere with sleepiness. 2. Develop a routine. Just as a cup of coffee and a ready to-do list gets you going in the morning, establishing cues in the evening can help with relaxation. A regular cup of chamomile tea and a crossword puzzle might become your go-to signal to unwind. 3. Watch caffeine intake. Speaking of drinks, keep an eye on caffeinated beverages in terms of amount and time of consumption. The Sleep Foundation says that  caffeine may help with alertness during the day, but taking in too much of this stimulant or ingesting it too close to bedtime can wreak havoc on sleep. And avoid this common trap: depending on caffeine to stay awake after a poor night’s rest, which then leads to another bout of sleeplessness, which encourages drinking an extra cup the next day, and so on. 4. Exercise. Yoga, a trip to the gym, or even a brisk walk around the neighborhood- all will help put your body and mind in a better state. Studies show that 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous activity a week provides a 65 percent improvement in sleep quality.  Just make sure you get that Pilates class in at least three hours before you intend to go to bed. 5. Perform a mind dump. Find yourself stressing as you try to unwind? Grab a paper and pen to jot down anything and everything that comes into your head. Don’t evaluate what you write; save that for tomorrow. When the name of that new company to check out is safely on paper, you can stop worrying that you’ll forget it. 6. Ban job hunting in the bedroom. The last thing you need in the middle of the night is to see a stack of resumes on your dresser or your laptop sitting on the floor next to you. Consider your bedroom a sanctuary where you can retreat after a productive day. You’ve earned a good night of sleep! Readers, do you think dealing with insomnia impacts  hinders your  job search? What do you do to make sure you get enough sleep?

How to Deal With Rejection During a Career Change

How to Deal With Rejection During a Career Change How to Deal With Rejection During a Career Change Dealing constructively with rejection is an important part of almost any job hunt, but especially when youre making a career change. When you switch industries or take on a role that doesnt quite fit with your previous experience, you have to be prepared for some pushback. According to psychologist Guy Winch, the same areas of the brain become activated when we experience rejection as when we experience physical pain. Indeed, the responses are so similar that over-the-counter painkillers have proven effective in lessening the emotional impact of rejection in controlled experiments. That said, dont reach for the paracetamol just yet. If you want to conquer your fear of rejection and change careers successfully, youll need to focus on your mindset. Here are some valuable lessons Ive learned about rejection during my own professional journey. Maybe theyll help you, too: 1. Ask for Feedback and Use It to Your Advantage Sometimes, your application will be met by an automated rejection email with no reply-to address. That is of no use to you. Trash the email immediately and put it out of your mind. However, in instances where you can actually  talk to a person on the other end, take the opportunity to ask for honest feedback and be open to receiving it. When you have insider knowledge about why you didnt advance, you can address the issue to ensure it doesnt happen again. Whether its a poorly presented resume, a lack of experience, or an interview question you mishandled, almost any problem a recruiter or hiring manager can highlight will be helpful to your future success, as long as youre not defensive about it. 2. Wait Before Replying to a Rejection Email This will give you the distance and perspective you need to compose a measured response, which will reflect positively on you if you apply with the same company in the future. I once sat through a particularly tense interview where there was a slight language barrier between the assistant hiring manager and myself. I was struggling to find common ground, but I saw her open up a bit when I spoke about my struggle with perfectionism. So, I expanded on the topic when she asked me to tell her about a weakness. A few days later, I got a rejection email from my recruiter. He told me the interviewer had named my tendency to become easily distracted by minutiae as a concern. I was stunned. That wasnt at all what I had said during the interview! Writing back almost immediately, I was polite but made it clear the interviewer had misunderstood me. It was hard to make peace with being disqualified because of a misinterpretation, but once I did, I regretted that email to my recruiter. Had I given myself a day or two to think things through, I mightve sent a more strategic response. Instead, I got defensive and forgot to ask him about other openings. 3. Spot the Blessings in Disguise My friend Cindy loves to spot the blessings in disguise, no matter the situation. Your house could fall to pieces while you slept, and shed still find a way to spin it into a blessing. That wasnt the house for you, she might say. This was your way out. It took me a long time, but eventually I came to understand Cindys point of view, which has  helped me stay centered in times of both personal and professional disappointment. I now see  my fumbled answer to the weakness question as proof positive that blessings in disguise exist. It stopped me from getting a position I was never actually enthusiastic about to begin with, and which I certainly wouldnt want today. When youre absolutely committed to a career change, the right opportunity will come to you - even if you have to change direction halfway or make a mistake during an interview to find it. As for the rejection letters, go-nowhere phone calls, and unreceptive hiring managers youll encounter along the way? All blessings, constantly rerouting you toward better things. 4. Watch Out for Micro-Rejections in Your Personal Life Sometimes, the greatest resistance you come up against during a career  change isnt from recruiters or employers but from the people whose support you were counting on most. A close friend at work may feel threatened by your abandoning the herd and consequently ignore the topic altogether. A family member may respond with a dismissive chuckle if you say youre going back to school for your dream degree. They may seem benign, but repeated micro-rejections like these can do real damage over time. If there is a person in your life who is prone to this kind of behavior, you probably already know who they are. Perhaps this is the moment to reevaluate just what information you want to share with them going forward. Besides, as you focus your energies on revamping your resume, job hunting, and preparing for interviews, youll find you wont have time for people who arent prepared to support you. Not receiving the encouragement you expected from people whose input you value is disheartening, but it need not be discouraging. In fact, persevering in spite of anothers lack of belief or backing is a common theme of success stories. If youre truly committed to your career change, you have to get confident and secure enough in own your ideas that other peoples hang-ups dont slow you down.

Advice for Writing a Recommendation Letter

Advice for Writing a Recommendation Letter Advice for Writing a Recommendation Letter A recommendation letter plays a specific role in the world of Human Resources and employment. Its occasionally needed but never preferred. Employers would rather speak directly with the former supervisors of their prospective employees. However, employers realize that direct communication is not always possible in todays hectic work world, hence the importance of the recommendation letter. The true value of a recommendation letter is that it will last  forever and while its contents may not apply years after the recommendation letter is written, a recommendation letter can be a potential gift for a valued employee. Written on company stationery, with a clearly printed address and contact information, the recommendation letter provides a sometimes needed boost to an applicant’s credentials. As an employer, especially if you anticipate a job change, do your exiting employees a favor- supply the employee with a recommendation letter. Contents of the Recommendation Letter A recommendation letter is a snapshot of an employee’s performance at a certain moment in time. Consequently, give thought and care to how you write this letter and to how the information you provide will affect the reader. Also, follow your company policy in regards to a recommendation letter, if a policy exists. You might even want to ask your Human Resources department to review your recommendation letter so youre certain youre protecting your company’s best interests- as well as your own. Consider the following guidelines when constructing your employees letter of recommendation: Prepare  the letter on original company stationery with printed address, phone, email, and additional contact information in a standard business letter format. You can provide the employee with several copies of the recommendation letter on stationery in a stationery envelope.  Address the recommendation letter to the specific employer who is requesting the recommendation letter, or to whom the employee plans to send the recommendation letter. If the recommendation letter is generic, address the letter to: To Whom It May Concern. Sign the recommendation letter in ink and include your name, job title, phone extension, and email address.Begin with: This is a letter of recommendation for the Employee’s Name.Describe your relationship with the employee, the employee’s job title, and the department where the employee worked. For example, “I was Mark’s supervisor when he worked as a skilled trades machine operator in the Lather Department at Alcon Tool.”Describe the key responsibilities of the employee’s job. For example, “Mark’s main responsibilities were operating they xyz machine, maintaining company tools and equipment, creating a safe and well-kept work area, troubleshooting machine problems, serving as the day shift team leader and filling in for me  as substitute supervisor in my absence. He also served as the head of the employee involvement team. In the main body of the recommendation letter, provide your overall assessment of the employee’s contribution and value. The statement should reflect that the assessment is for Mark’s performance at a certain point in time. For example, “Mark was a valued employee who contributed well above the norm when he worked in my department. This was apparent in how he handled his assignments and in his leadership roles.”State why Mark left your employment in the recommendation letter if the reasons are supportive of Marks next employment opportunity. For example, “Mark left Alcon Tool to accept the position of supervisor at another company. A supervisor job would not have been available here for several years.” Finish the recommendation letter on a positive note. For example, “We were sorry to see Mark Alcon Tool but wished him all the best in his new job as supervisor.”Finally, state that the potential employer can contact you if he or she needs additional information. Sign and complete the recommendation letter. And dont forget when the letter is complete to place a  copy of the recommendation letter  in the employee’s personnel file.

Sleeping in this position may hurt your relationship

Sleeping in this position may hurt your relationship Sleeping in this position may hurt your relationship We now know that sleeping in a certain position can have adverse effects on your health as well as your motivation and overall mood when you wake up but it turns out, the direction you face when you sleep can literally have an impact on your romantic relationship. Whoa.According to that same survey by The Sleep Judge of  1,021 people if you and your partner sleep back to back 11% said they were unsatisfied with the relationship. This was the highest  level of unsatisfaction (11%) compared to couples that slept in the spooning position, both facing the same direction (AKA loose spooning) and both on their stomachs.Follow Ladders on Flipboard!Follow Ladders’ magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and more!It was the little spoon and the big spoon for the win as they reported a 99% satisfaction rate.Back it upNow before you never sleep back to back again (except then how can you hide the fact that you are eating cookies in bed from you r partner?) it should be noted that those back to backers who said they slept well were, for the most part (37%), content when they woke up.Only 1% behind a couple that slept in the same direction but not spooning. And as has been emphasized throughout this survey sleeping on your stomach once again proved to be bad for you in yet another way as when couples do this 19% said they were grumpy the next day and only 30% were content.Check out the graphic below for more results on couples and sleeping positions.The study did not note how long these couples had been together.Perhaps the spooners get all the credit for being hot and heavy but relationship psychologist Corrine Sweet says that couples that go back-to-back without touching are “connected and secure in themselves. This position shows both closeness and independence in the relationship.”You might also enjoy… New neuroscience reveals 4 rituals that will make you happy Strangers know your social class in the first seven words you say, study finds 10 lessons from Benjamin Franklin’s daily schedule that will double your productivity The worst mistakes you can make in an interview, according to 12 CEOs 10 habits of mentally strong people

Gang Activity in the U.S. Military

Gang Activity in the U.S. Military Gang Activity in the U.S. Military According to an FBI report,  Gang Activity in the U.S. Armed Forces Increasing, dated January 12, 2007,  members of nearly every major street gang have been identified on both domestic and international military installations. Members of nearly every major street gang, including the Bloods, Crips, Black Disciples, Gangster Disciples, Hells Angels, Latin Kings, The 18th Street Gang, Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13), Mexican Mafia, Nortenos, Surenos, Vice Lords, and various white supremacist groups, have been documented on military installations. Although most prevalent in the Army, the Army Reserves, and the National Guard, gang activity is pervasive throughout all branches of the military and across most ranks  but is most common among the junior enlisted ranks, according to the report. The extent of gang presence in the armed services is often difficult to determine since many enlisted gang members conceal their gang affiliation and military authorities may not recognize gang affiliation or may be inclined not to report such incidences. Since 2004, the FBI and El Paso Police Department  identified over 40 military-affiliated Folk Nation gang members stationed at the Fort Bliss Army Installation in Texas who were involved in drug distribution, robberies, assaults, weapons offenses, and a homicide, both on and off the installation.Fort Hood, Texas, Army Installation officials have identified nearly 40 gang members on base since 2003. Military-affiliated Gangster Disciple members at Fort Hood have been responsible for robberies, assaults, theft, and burglaries on and off base. Nearly 130 gang and extremist group members have been identified on the Fort Lewis, Washington, Army Installation since 2005. These gang members are believed to be responsible for many of the criminal misconduct instances reported on base. The FBI reports that accurate data reflecting gang-related instances occurring on military installations is limited since the military is not required to report criminal offense statistics occurring on post to the ?FBI. Consequently, military data reflecting criminal instances are not incorporated into the Uniform Crime Report (UCR). Why Gang Members Join the Military The FBI believes that gang members may enlist in the military to escape their current environment or gang lifestyle. Some gang members may also enlist to receive weapons, combat, and convoy support training; to obtain access to weapons and explosives; or as an alternative to incarceration. Upon discharge, they may employ their military training against law enforcement officials and rival gang members. Such military training could ultimately result in more organized, sophisticated, and deadly gangs, as well as an increase in deadly assaults on law enforcement officers. In May 2005 an Army recruit and suspected Crip member was assigned to the US Army Finance Battalion where he engaged in drug distribution. He was eventually discharged from the Army for misconduct.According to open source reporting and multiple law enforcement reporting, soldiers, including gang members, are currently being taught urban warfare for combat in Iraq, including how to encounter hostile gunfire.The Defense Criminal Investigative Service reported in 2006 that gang members, particularly MS-13 members, are increasing their presence on or near US military installations. Even though the policy violates military recruiting regulations, US criminal courts have allowed gang members to enter the service as an alternative to incarceration. Several instances wherein gang members have been recruited into the armed services while facing criminal charges or on probation or parole have been documented. In many instances, a gang member facing criminal charges may be provided the option to join the military or serve a jail sentence. Furthermore, some army recruiters have been known to conceal recruits gang affiliation to help boost their enlistment numbers. Increased Crime Gang membership in the armed forces can disrupt good order and discipline, increase criminal activity on and off military installations, and compromise installation security and force protection. Gang incidents involving active-duty personnel on or near US military bases nationwide include drive-by shootings, assaults, robberies, drug distribution, weapons violations, domestic disturbances, vandalism, extortion, and money laundering. Gangs have also been known to use active-duty service members to distribute their drugs. The Aurora Police Department reports that in July 2006 a Marine reservist and Maniac Latin Disciple gang member who had served in Iraq was charged with attempted murder in the shooting of three teenagers in Aurora, Illinois.According to FBI investigative data, in April 2006 a Blood member and active duty soldier at Fort Lewis allegedly robbed a bowling alley on base and is a suspect in a home invasion robbery in Olympia, Washington.In January 2005 a Fort Hood soldier and Gangster Disciple leader was convicted of two aggravated robberies in Killeen, Texas.  According to open-source reporting, he allegedly directed 30 to 40 Fort Hood Gangster Disciple members to commit illegal activities including drug dealing, identity theft, and armed robberies. Dangerous Situation Military-trained gang members also present an emerging threat to law enforcement officers patrolling the streets of US cities. Both current and former gang-affiliated soldiers transfer their acquired military training and knowledge back to the community and employ them against law enforcement officers, who are typically not trained to engage gangsters with military expertise. Gang members in the military are commonly assigned to military support units where they have access to weapons and explosives. Military personnel may steal items by improperly documenting supply orders or by falsifying paperwork. Law enforcement officials throughout the United States have recovered military-issued weapons and explosives such as machine guns and grenades from  criminals and gang members while conducting search warrants and routine traffic stops. In June 2006 an incarcerated US Army soldier and active gang member identified 60 to 70 gang-affiliated military personnel in his unit allegedly involved in the theft and sale of military equipment and weapons. The soldier reported that many of the military personnel in charge of ammunition and grenade distribution are sergeants who are active gang members.A May 2006 interview with a former Marine and Gangster Disciple member incarcerated in Colorado detailed how easily soldiers many of whom were gang members stole military weapons and equipment and used them on the streets of US cities or sold them to civilian gang members. In December 2005 a National Guard soldier allegedly smuggled several machine guns back from Iraq and sold them to a gun dealer in Georgia, according to open-source information.In a May 2006 interview with the Colorado Department of Corrections, an incarcerated Gangster Disciple member and former Marine discussed the advantages of military training and how it assists gang members in bank robberies, home invasions, and confrontations with police.A 2006 news interview revealed that a Marine, who was a King Cobra member, stationed at MCAS Camp Pendleton, taught members of his gang how to engage in military-style ambushes and how to position themselves for tactical advantage. He further admitted that he joined the Marines to learn how to shoot guns. Threat to Dependents Gang members commonly target dependent children of military personnel for recruitment. Military children are considered potential candidates for gang membership because the transient nature of their families often makes them feel isolated, vulnerable, and in need of companionship. Dependents of service members may be involved in drug distribution and assaults both on and off of military bases. Lax security at open installations may facilitate recruitment by allowing civilian gang members to access the base and interact with military personnel and their children. Fort Bragg officials report that a number of violent instances occurring on post often involve gang members and transpire at on-post nightclubs.In May 2005 the Fort Bragg Provost Marshall (PM) closed the Fort Bragg Fair early because of multiple fights prompted by youths flashing gang signs. The PM remarked that similar instances had also occurred at the prior years fair.A retired Special Forces soldier and President of the Hells Angels Fayetteville, North Carolina, chapter regularly visits  Fort Bragg. US Department of Defense  (DoD) youth program staff have acknowledged that military children are heavily influenced by gangs. However, many military spokespersons have dismissed these children as “wannabe gang members.”According to the Office of National Drug Control Policy, military facilities in the continental United States, as well as overseas military facilities, have all experienced gang activity committed by dependents of service members. Getting in the Military Gang members have been known to enlist in the military by failing to report past criminal convictions or by using fraudulent documents. Some applicants enter the criminal justice system as juveniles and their criminal records are sealed and unavailable to recruiters performing criminal background investigations. Many military recruiters are not properly trained to recognize gang affiliation and unknowingly recruit gang members, particularly if the applicant has no criminal record or visible tattoos. In August 2006 a Latin King member from Milwaukee joined the Marines while under federal indictment for racketeering. The recruiter reported that despite the gang members indictment, he was still eligible for  military service  because he had not yet been convicted. He was, however, ultimately denied enlistment from service before reporting for duty.In 2006 an MS-13 member stationed at Fort Lewis, Washington reported that he and several other MS-13 members joined the military after their cliques leader was incarcerated. The soldier claimed that he was candid about his gang membership when recruited. In 2005 a Latin King member was allegedly recruited into the Army at a Brooklyn, New York, courthouse while awaiting trial for assaulting a New York police officer with a razor. He was reportedly instructed by the recruiter to conceal his gang affiliation.In 2005 a California probation officer reported that they were lobbied by Army recruiters to support early probation terminations for gang-affiliated probationers to facilitate their military recruitment. The FBI report concludes that while allowing gang members to serve in the military may temporarily increase recruiting numbers, US communities may ultimately have to contend with disruption and violence resulting from military-trained gang members on the streets of US cities. Furthermore, most gang members have been pre-indoctrinated into the gang lifestyle and maintain an allegiance to their gang. This could ultimately jeopardize the safety of other military members and impede gang-affiliated soldiers ability to act in the best interest of their country. Why the Army Disagrees In sharp contrast to the FBI report, an Army Criminal Investigation Command (CID),  Gang Activity Threat Assessment for FY 2006, calls the threat of gang activity in the Army low. Their report concludes: Overall, the assessment of the threat of gang activity in the Army is considered low.There are indicators that gangs remain active in some military communities. During FY 2006, the CID initiated 16 gang investigations and reported 44 gang-related incidents which occurred on Army installations or in Army communities.Reports indicated there is a small number of Soldiers involved in gangs or gang-related activity. However, there has been an increase in violent gang-related investigations in FY06. Gang-related violence in FY06 resulted in the loss of life of one US Army Soldier. The majority of subjects in gang-related investigations are junior enlisted (E-1-E-4) and/or youthful civilian dependent family members. During the period of October 2003 to September 2006, a total of 35 CID investigations were identified as felony crimes with gang-related activity There have been no Senior NCOs or Officers identified in any gang-related incidents or investigations.Military communities continue to be a more stable, secure and lawful environment than their civilian counterparts, especially given recent access control and other security enhancements. Much of the gun growth across the US can be attributed to the influence of the gang subculture rather than actual gang migration. Many communities are experiencing an emulation of nationally recognized gangs.Forming multi-agency task forces and joint community groups is an effective way to combat the problem. However, decreases in funding and staffing to many task forces have created new challenges for civilian communities. Limitations on recourses for authorized spaces, especially criminal intelligence spaces, have had a similar effect on CIDs ability to be proactive in this area.
