If you know of any other RSS feeds for the Israeli job seeker, please tell us in the comments so that I can include them in the list. Find this guide useful?

How to reinvent your career

How to reinvent your career If you ask the Farmer, he would tell you that I was really really nice to him last week while he was in bed, immobile, strung out on six Percocet a day. I made him pies, and French toast, and meat at every meal because there is no amount of Percocet that would make him not want to eat meat. I watched gunslinger movies with him when he was groggy and I made sure to talk only about innocuous topics like the state of world politics, something that wed never fight about. I cant tell you everything went smoothly. I forgot to let the chickens out a few days. I lost the new bag of Cat Chow and served ground beef for two days of heaven on earth for the cats. And, there were a few times the goats got into the house. But we figured out how to handle everything. Until the Farmer felt better: His back didnt hurt so he wanted to work. So, he just stopped taking the Percocet. Cold turkey. And because we live in the country, the doctor gave the Farmer sixty Percocet pills with no instructions for how to go off narcotics. For those of you who know nothing about Percocet, first of all, if you ever get that many pills prescribed, sell them on the streets of New York City to fund your childs education. Thats how hard they are to come by. And theres a reason: They are highly addictive. Im linking to some stuff about getting off high dosages of Percocet, but Im summarizing: You cant go cold turkey. You have to go slowly or you make yourself crazy. So the Farmer was crazy and I had to have a drug intervention to tell him he was a total jerk and having withdrawal and he couldnt tell and he needed to do it more systematically. I convinced him. But he is not a guy who lays in bed all day. And he had already done it for five days. He wanted to work. On Percocet. I told him we agreed no machinery on Percocet. He told me how its not fair that I want him to taper and I want him to not work. Then we have a screaming match about how life is not fair. That is the first topic. Which slides into: Me: Dont scream at me The Farmer: No youre screaming at me No. Fuck you. I told you I dont like swearing. I told you I dont like you being mean. This did not happen. I mean it did. It has happened so many times that its like the bass beat in the background of our everyday life. So we did that and then he told me he had to work. It was a work emergency. Heres what he said: I have to check cows. You might think I know nothing about farming, but I have actually learned a lot precisely for figuring out if the Farmer is BSing me or not. Me: Your dad can check them. The Farmer: I dont want to call him. Its a masculinity thing. I swear to God. He said this. Then he told me he had to be off Percocet on Monday because hes shipping hogs and cattle. This is farmer-speak for putting them in a truck and sending them to the butcher to be killed. I tell him he can taper off the Percocet like he is supposed to, and his parents can ship pigs and cows. Then we have a huge fight. About what really needs to happen: how his parents dont need him to ship the cows and pigs. He says he wants to be in charge of it. I tell him hes 40 and hes too old to show up at work just to make sure people know hes in charge. So he has to tell me that I make his life hell. Now that Ive been with him three years, I know this is his way of telling me he doesnt want to talk. When I tell you what I did next, you will think Im a bitch. But so what? Im going to tell you anyway. I told him he had to talk to me all day. I told him I was going to follow him around the farm nonstop, how I would even drive off-road to check the cows in the forest. So he says, Dont threaten me. I say, I am telling you what I need. I need you to talk with me. All day? Yes. All day. Its past my comfort zone. Talking to me for one second is past your comfort zone. He laughs. He says, Fine. We are talking. He wants to wander past the cornpast the haythrough the vegetable garden We talk about nothing. I bitch to him about how hes dishonest to himself about the farm, and he says things like, Okay, you win. Im not as honest as you. Or, Youre right, Im never going to be able to make you happy. These are ways to avoid having to have a conversation with me, so I dont relent. I know hes exhausted from talking, but look, you have to trust me on this that he has to talk for two hours before he actually says anything besides how he would rather be single than have a hard conversation. I tell him that the real reason hes trying to kick the Percocet so fast is because hes scared his parents dont need him. He wants to be needed. Then I tell him, Look, your parents just wrote you out of their will. They obviously dont think they need you. This hits hard. Though not as hard as its hitting you now, when you read it, because Ive said this to the Farmer a lot of times. Ever since the parents wrote him out of the will. The next part of the conversation is deleted. I had tothe Farmer was too upset. But here is some background material so you can follow along. As you know, from my Thanksgiving Drama post, the Farmer has three sisters, all of whom have kids. I am not allowed to tell you who the Farmers parents are giving the farm to. We have to keep that a secret. You might know from the post about why I do not do family secrets that keeping another family secret is eventually going to make me physically ill. I am positive that keeping family secrets only serves to protect people who treat family members like shit. (That is the end of the deleted, secret part. The good news about me having to write about the deletion is that I got to link to two of the most popular posts on the blog. Maybe you missed them. They are good to read.) So, suffice it to say that the farmer asked his parents why they arent leaving any of the land to his children, and his parents said that they are not his real children. I think the farmer is devastated and he needs to stop farming with them because hes devastated. He tells me he is not devastated and he is happy farming with them. I tell him hes lying to himself and hes taking it out on me, like when he tells me I am unreasonable about Percocet and he has to ship hogs. Its really not that Im reasonable but that hes scared to miss a day of shipping hogs and wont admit it. I dont care specifically about the farm. I mean, I didnt grow up expecting Id have farm land. But I do care about feeling like the Farmer is losing his self-respect over this and taking it out on me. Okay. So I refuse to let the Farmer stop talking. He says hell talk if we can go somewhere comfortable. We cant go in the house. My ex is there with the kids. We do our best fighting when my ex is distracting the kids. The Farmer wants to go to the pig building. The pig building: I tried to get him to throw out his gross furniture that he had had since college and he couldnt do it, so he put it in the pig building. Now he wants to sit on his sofa. There are two. I sit across from him. He has nothing to say, of course. This is how a Farmer talks to his wife. By saying nothing. So I look around. My sons 4H pig project pigs are in the building, so by pig farm standards, the place is clean. Where we are sitting looks kind of like an island in the middle of pig blood, but the Farmer told me its really just muddy water. The Farmer says, What do you think of the pigs? I tell him that does not count as conversation. I tell him Im going to last a lot longer on the sofa than he is because I can sit still and he cant. I take off my boots and sort of make myself comfortable, like its the living room. Finally he tells me he wants to transition to a smaller farm operation, on just the 125 acres he owns outright. But hes scared. He doesnt know for sure how to do it. Hes making a plan. Then we are talking. I tell him Id be scared, too. I tell him I know hes built up a great business and its hard to walk away. I am not one with extra empathy, but I have plenty for career changes. And I think thats what hes really going through. Hes worked on the same farm for 40 years, and now he has to switch. He has to make operations work on his own farm, he has to figure out all new animal and crop logistics and all new cash flow planning, and it is scary. I think about the article in Fortune magazine this week titled, Reinvent Your Career. about who can succeed in changing careers. Fortune reports that the people who can do it are all people who love learning by doing. They are not victims. At a time when many people react passively to career bumps, reinventors took control. I know the Farmer can succeed. He can be like the reinventors profiled in Fortune magazine. But I know that after two hours of pressing him, the most he can possibly say is that hes really disappointed by his parents choices and hes scared about farming on his own. Its huge for him to say that. I tell him he doesnt have to talk anymore. I thank him for talking for so long. And I thank him for sharing his feelings. We leave. But not before we have make-up sex in the pig barn.

Why Youre Not Getting Job Offers - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

Why Youre Not Getting Job Offers - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career Everybody wants a better job.   Not everyone knows how to go about getting that position.   One of the biggest factors preventing many people from success is making very common, yet hurtful interviewing mistakes.   These missteps act as barriers to obtaining great jobs, so they are worth assessing and avoiding. Three interview mistakes youre probably making: 1. Not using effective persuasion techniques. One of the most common mistakes job candidates make is being too direct. Claiming that you are industrious and a team player does not prove anything to the interviewer. By using vividly descriptive examples of times where you proved to be industrious or a team player, the interviewer will draw these conclusions by him or herself. These stories should be woven naturally into your interviewing answers.   Have faith that when you insinuate that you possess a trait, but don’t flat out make the claim, you are much more likely to get your point across successfully.   Essentially, make the interviewer think that the thought is theirs rather than being told to believe you are intelligent. Always remember that subtle speech is the basis of the art of persuasion. 2. Not having concrete reasons why you want the job at this specific company. If you do not have specific reasons, you cannot convince the interviewer that you are the right person for the job. When you come prepared with justifications, you will come off as a candidate who has goals. Additionally, you will seem like a person who pursues these goals. You also appear as if you are being selective, yet rational in your job search.   Many candidates interview everywhere and anywhere and it shows.   Our recruitment team suggests you stand out by showing that you have a compelling, intelligent reason as to why this particular firm suits you. Having concrete reasons as to why you want to work at a firm is an indirect, persuasive way to show you’ve done your research on the company.   For instance the line, “From what I’ve seen, ______ organization has strong leadership, a visionary product and the necessity in the market for their offering,” implies that you did your back-end research on the firm and are interviewing for a reason. 3. Interviewing without factoring in the needs of the employer. To secure the job you really want, it is essential that you know exactly what the interviewer is looking for in a potential job candidate. To do this, you will have to strongly familiarize yourself with the job description so that you can direct the conversation in a way that touches upon those specific requirements and needs. In the End When you care deeply about doing well, you will.   Correcting these issues is not a problem; having a job you dislike is a problem.   Be careful not to make the above interviewing mistakes and work your pre-interviewing strategy around these tips.

8 Tips to Employing the Very Best

8 Tips to Employing the Very Best It goes without saying that every company director and owner wants their business to be a success, but what makes one company more successful than the next? To borrow an analogy from nature: your business is like an ant colony. Whether it has 10 or 100 workers, they all work together to make it a success.  Each ant has a job and a purpose. Without them, the ‘colony’ will not grow and if just one worker falls behind, there could be damaging consequences. Although there is at least one or more ‘queens’ (directors), it is the industrious labour of the worker ants that make the colony thrive. Therefore, it is essential that you view the members of your staff as fundamental to the success of your business. They are its lifeline to delivering excellent customer care and high quality products or services without them, it cannot run smoothly. If a business cannot run it cannot make any money. You get the picture! So as you can see, staff recruitment is a very critical stage. It affects staff retention rates, turnover and according to a CIPD survey, 80% of directors polled cite recruitment as an organisation’s main objective of their resourcing activities. Recruitment is fundamental to achieve strategic goals and gain future skills, and 99% of those surveyed said that the quality of candidates is important for assessing a professional agency’s performance. But can it really make or break the business? In layman’s terms: yes. The right staff can propel your business to the next level and likewise, drag it down into the dumps. You can have the very best technology, resources and premises but if you don’t have the right people you’ll struggle to succeed. Your workers’ performance is vital to the growth of your company, but note that hiring the best doesn’t just stop there. You need to provide on-going support, even after the initial recruitment stage, to ensure that a high level of ethos remains. Setting your priorities: Obviously the type of people you want to recruit will differ depending on your type of business. A standard face-to-face interview may work for you, but not be sufficient for another firm. What’s key is that the candidate has the right attitude. A new recruit can tarnish their bad behaviour onto your existing staff and similarly, existing employees can develop a culture that is not positive or inviting. According to Employment-Studies.co.uk, 45% of employers prioritise good motivation and attitude over everything else when recruiting. Qualifications are important but only 10% say that this is a main attribute being sought. Valuing the cost of recruitment: Many employers deem recruitment too costly and time-consuming. A study by the British Chambers of Commerce and Maximus UK revealed that 43% of businesses estimate the cost of hiring a new employee to be more than £2,000. Whether or not this figure is true is debatable but essentially it will cost you slightly more to acquire the very best. This is a small upfront fee when hiring an agency, but a great long-term investment. Make sure you get it right. A poor recruitment now will prove expensive in the future. Time is money and you may miss your chance of securing the perfect candidate who will be lost to a competitor. This is where a good number of insolvent businesses can trace their distress back to. With an imperfect team you get an imperfect business. 8 top tips for employing the very best: Make sure the job description accurately reflects the role Be clear on the skills required Use a structured interview and assessment process Combine an interview with a skills based test Involve other employees in the recruitment process What is your UEP (Unique Employment Proposition)? Don’t advertise for help; instead tell them why they want to apply Try to promote internally first; someone may have untapped skills waiting to be developed As a final note, some companies just don’t have the full-time staff to do their own recruitment so they find it necessary to hire a recruitment agency. This is all well and good, but it is vital to assess the qualifications and experience of the recruitment company. Whilst it is important to hire the very best staff to boost productivity and morale within your company, it is even more important to find an agency that is able to find the staff you are looking for. Of course there is a fee involved in employing professional recruiters, but as the old adage goes, you get what you pay for. So what are you waiting for? Get out there and recruit the top talent in your field of work.

Kanye West, Beyonce, and Taylor Swift A Tale of 3 Personal Brands

Kanye West, Beyonce, and Taylor Swift A Tale of 3 Personal Brands Maybe you watched the VMA awards live on Sunday night to witness Kanye West publicly diss Taylor Swift on national television after she won the best female artist award and maybe you didnt.   But by now, you already know about it thanks to the beauty of   online news feeds, YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook. According to Mashable, 300,000 Kanye West tweets interrupted Twitter service one hour after Kanyes rant and from what I could gather, none of the tweets were positive. In fact, even many celebrity tweeters and recording artists including Pink, Katie Perry, and Kelly Clarkson tweeted their disdain for Kanyes remarks for the world to see.Once upon a time, when someone said something stupid on national TV, you would just sit in your living room and comment to those around you Uh oh, bad moveor What a jerk! And maybe you would have a conversation about it with your friends or colleagues the next day or read about it in a gossip magazine or page six of the Post if you were a New Yorker. And then it would be put to rest.But times have changed. In some cases, Twitter is replacing the living room, the office water cooler, and the local bar as a source of information and popular opinion. And these opinions can quickly be archived, shared, repeated, analyzed, and rehashed. They serve as a primary historical source of sorts and their impact on the way history and pop culture are recorded cant be ignored.The collective observations of many may spread faster than any damage control that Kanye or his PR team can muster. It can take years to build a powerful personal brandand just seconds to destroy it. On the other hand, it can take seconds to catapult someones brand forward in some instances. Obviously Beyonce and Taylor Swift had strong brands before the VMA awards, but the grace they both showed following Kanyes outburst elevated their brands to an even higher level as evidenced by the social media comments reported on these two recording artists.And while few of us are rock stars in the literal sense, many of us are trying to become well recognized in our chosen fields. Many of us strive to create strong personal brands that foster feelings of competency, authenticity, integrity, and good will towards others. Our brands can be shattered just as quickly as Kanyes if we dont constantly moniter them and keep certain actions in check. Social media practices such as spamming, flaming, and over the top selling can quickly result in a backlash from the collective community and a reversal of positive public opinion.If you are a job seeker, your personal brand is linked to your proposition of value to employers. You will need to work hard to build your brand online and off and gain a following of supporters for your search. Keep your brand in check everyday and refrain from saying or posting anything that could prove contradictory or damaging to your brand. Humans may have short memories, but Google does not. So if you dont want something archived for eter nity, you are better off keeping it to yourself.

5 Latest Ways to get the Job with the Help of Social Media - CareerAlley

5 Latest Ways to get the Job with the Help of Social Media - CareerAlley We may receive compensation when you click on links to products from our partners. One of the well-known ways to land a new job is to network. Whether networking with colleagues from work, friends or professors from school, or in other areas, networking plays a vital role; giving us access to people who can recommend us for positions or simply inform us of them. With social media proliferating society, networking utilising social media may now overcome most other ways to expose ourselves to potential job positions. Here are 5 ways to use social media to get that next job. Get information: Social media gives us access to more company information. You can easily check to see if a company has a presence on one of the many social media sites, like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Google Plus. If they do, you can easily read up on the company to learn whether they are doing the kinds of things you are interested in doing. You may discover they are expanding into a market you wished to work in or that may require a second language skill you possess. Feedback and discussion:You can also provide feedback about products and services, comment on information they are providing or news that has been written about them, even discuss recent business decisions or events. This may give you exposure to product representatives, managers and other staff members who curate these social media pages. If you get feedback from the company, that may be worth noting in an interview. Sites like LinkedIn will also let you link your blog to your profile. Updating those in your network about the things you write about, possibly making you an authority in your area Network:Having access to a wide variety of people is the most important thing about social media. You can easily check to see if the users on a particular network share your interests or work at companies you are interested in. You can then become friends with them or follow them. Most users are fine with making new friends within these networks and are even fine with being contacted for their expertise and knowledge. So, inquiring about a job lead or company information is usually welcome. Your status: Another great thing about social media is that you can easily update your network on your current job status. If you recently were laid off, you can let users know, and inform them about what you are looking for. This is a great way to get information and job leads provided to you. If you have a good reputation, or are an authority, users will be happy to recommend you. Link to yourself: Not only can you link to your blog, but you can, and should, link to your resume, web site or portfolio. Link to it in as many areas as you can. If recruiters, hiring managers and other people are vetting you for a position before calling you, they may peruse your profile and any other sites related to you. So, give them your resume and other information that will help them get an idea of who you are. Social media has definitely changed the times in which we live. It is important to utilise them for networking in order to advance your career and your personal goals. However, you must utilise them correctly in order to gain results.
