How to Handle a Quarter-Life Crisis- The Muse

How to Handle a Quarter-Life Crisis- The MuseHow to Handle a Quarter-Life CrisisMove over mid-life crisis, youre not the only game in town. Many people experience whats dubbed the quarter-life crisis, the transition between your early and late 20s, in which you set your foundations in the real world and really begin your career. Its not an easy time. Often, its a stark realization that the universe doesnt automatically honor the einbildung you had for your career path, relationships, health, and work-life balance. And sometimes this happens all at once Your relationship ends, your job isnt what you expected (or you cant find one), your social circle changes weekly, and bills prevent you from saving as much as youd like. So when your quarter-life crisis hits, you may think time to quit my job and backpack around Asia. Thats one option, but you can also use it as a calling to re-align your career ambitions exactly where you are. Here are three things that you may be thinking, and how t o make sense of them without (potentially) ruining your career.1. You Want Your Work to MatterThe uncertainty hits close to work because it becomes home for many of us. In your young professional life, your job may be the most consistent part of your day-to-day You spend 40- or more- hours there each week (not including the commute back and forth), see the team more often than family or friends, and pour your eager efforts into it. Feeling restless or dissatisfied in your first few jobs isnt always cause for alarm It indicates that you want this part of your life to be reflected in a more impactful or meaningful way- and thats totally normal. Adam Smiley Poswolsky, Millennial expert and author of The Quarter-Life Breakthrough, writes in an article for Fast Company that more than 50% of Millennials say they would take a pay cut to find work that matches their values, while 90% want to use their skills for good.Perhaps, since graduation, you judged career prospects on things such as p ay (hello, student loans) and title. However, to find fulfillment at work, youll need to consider other factors such as stress level, continuous learning, organizational culture- and yes, impact. So, if youre not feeling inspired, your current situation could be to blame. However, that doesnt mean you have to quit. Can you find fulfilling opportunities within your organization by taking on new responsibilities? If not, maybe becoming more engaged outside of work, through activities such as volunteering or starting up a side gig, will help you feel better about your job.2. Your Strengths (and Weaknesses) Are AmplifiedYou had 18 years to practice getting good at schoolwork. But giving presentations, conducting sales calls, or writing corporate messaging may not be your strong suit. Youre not used to feeling like a rookie, and its hard to feel good about what you do each day if you dont think youre doing a great job. In a quarter-life crisis, you may fixate on one part of your position that requires a skill set thats not as well-developed, while forgetting that in another aspect youre a clear leader. Or you may wonder why you havent been promoted. While reflecting on your areas for improvement will serve you well in the long zustrom, many young professionals lack the mentorship and tools to process the information and utilize it to strengthen their work. If youre feeling overwhelmed by this influx of self-knowledge, you can connect with a mentor or a career coach. Share your observations, any feedback youve received, and how youre feeling about your contributions at work. Gaining a third-party perspective from someone outside of your team will provide you with new tools and resources. For example, your coach may guide you in asking your manager if you could specialize in an area of strength, while taking a class to improve another skill set. Or your coach may encourage you to join a group outside of work where you can express your strengths more creatively. 3. Yo ur Five-Year Plan Doesnt Feel RightBased on your five-year plan, you are right on schedule. But, you feel stuck and unhappy. Does this sound familiar? Christine Hassler, life coach and author, writes in her book 20-Something, 20-Everything We think we must decide in our twenties who we want to be for the rest of our lives, but we dont- our goals can and do change.No matter how perfect your five-year plan is, there will be unexpected challenges, opportunities, and revelations. As you learn about the reality of a job, organization, industry, lifestyle, or location, your knowledge base grows. Twenty-somethings may feel confused if their original ideas begin to look misaligned or unrealistic. While it may be your first instinct to run far away and never goal-set again, consider this Its okay to rewrite your plans and leave room for updated knowledge. Try this Connect with a few colleagues or connections who are five to 10 years ahead of you in the industry or job youre interested in. As k them for 20 minutes of their time- in person, over the phone, or email (whatever works best for them). Prepare five questions regarding their day-to-day, challenges, growth opportunities, sacrifices made, and most important skill sets. How do their experiences match with the values, work, and strengths you have determined to be important factors going forward? Getting into the habit of investigating your potential future before crafting a career plan can help you define clear goals and motivations, so you save yourself from feeling locked in. The quarter-life crisis can be scary, but you will get through it If youre experiencing any of the feelings above, know that your future is still unwritten and full of opportunity (and that backpacking trips will most likely always be on your list of things to do). With the right tools and attention, your crisis will likely lead to a more wholesome, fulfilling, and expansive career.Photo of woman thinking courtesy of Shutterstock.

New Options Emerge for Aviation Fuel

New Options Emerge for Aviation Fuel New Options Emerge for Aviation Fuel The jet engine fuel market is evolving. New fuels that could replace conventional petroleum-based liquid jet fuels that require no alterations to existing equipment are being developed. In fact, petroleum alternative fuels have advanced to the point that they have equivalent performance and can be used in existing fleets as drop in replacements. They can be co-mingled with existing fuels at airports at every stage of delivery, storage, distribution, and utilization in aircraft and their engines.The biofuel industry has seen much activity in the last several years in evaluating, testing, and certifying synthetic fuels for aviation. Conventional jet fuels are kerosene-type distillates such as Jet A (in the U.S.) and Jet A-1 (worldwide) for commercial aviation turbines, and jet propellant JP-8 and JP-5 for military jet engines. Two leading processes for producing synthetic paraffinic kerosene (SPKs), the same para ffins as traditional jet fuels, are Fischer-Tropsch (FT) Synthesis and hydrotreating to create hydrotreated renewable jet fuel (HRJ).Fischer-Tropsch Fuels In UseMost synthetic fuels flown by commercial airlines and U.S. military planes today are blends of FT fuels with traditional fuels. Many feedstocks produce a variety of petroleum-alternatives FT fuelsBiomass-to-liquid (BTL) fuels use sources such as agricultural and forest residue, prairie grass, and municipal or industrial wasteCoal-to-liquid (CTL) fuels use coalCoal-and-biomass-to-liquid (CBTL) fuels use a mixture of coal and biomassGas-to-liquid (GTL) fuels use natural gas.To create FT SPK fuels, feedstocks are first converted to syngas with a process called gasification, and then FT processing reacts these gases with carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and a catalyst to make long hydrocarbon chains. unterstellung chains are then cracked and separated into finished liquid jet fuels.The RAND Corporation, Santa Monica, CA, recently repo rted that a number of FT fuels are technically viable substitutions for fuels currently used in military aviation in the U.S. Their composition, purity, density, toxicity, thermal stability, and compatibility with other fluids and materials, among other properties, have been evaluated and shown to be equivalent to conventional fuels. Military aircraft including Army Black Hawk helicopters, Air Force F-15 Eagles, and many others, have passed successful test flights and are now certified to use blends of 50% FT-derived jet fuels with 50% JP-8 jet fuel.The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) International Aviation Fuel Committees recent specification ASTM D7566 has enabled certified use of FT fuel blends of up to 50% in commercial aviation flights. Since the ASTM specification, FT blends have already been used by a number of airlines in normally scheduled passenger flights, while others such as Lufthansa have announced a six-month trial of commercial flights to study long -term effects of BTL fuels on engines beginning in April 2011.Algae under a microscope. Photo credit Texas AMHydrotreated Renewable Jet Fuels Tested and Undergoing Certification A newer process for creating aviation fuels derived from renewable oil sources is HRJ processing. Fats or oils from nonfood, seed-bearing crops or algae are treated with hydrogen, which saturates the oil molecules and removes oxygen and contaminants. The result is similar to unfinished FT fuels, a long, straight hydrocarbon chain that must undergo similar cracking and separation finishing.Blends with algae-derived HRJ fuels have completed successful test flights in commercial jet engines, and progress is being made towards extending ASTM 7566 to allow for 50/50 blends of drop-in HRJ fuels with Jet A for commercial aircraft. HRJ certification is also under way for military aircraft.Blending for AromaticsSPK fuels lack aromatic hydrocarbons, which swell to seal o-rings and other elastomeric seals, so blends wi th conventional fuels that contain them are currently required for certification. New synthesized kerosene-containing aromatic (SKA) fuels are being evaluated for certification that may support longer term goals of producing fully synthetic replacement fuels that could be used without blending.These compatible fuels allow extensive aviation infrastructures and mora diverse sources of fuel to be used.Debbie Sniderman is an independent writer.

Including Extracurricular Activities in Your Resume

Including Extracurricular Activities in Yur ResumeIncluding Extracurricular Activities in Your ResumeStudents or recent graduates applying for entry-level positions or internships often are asked about their extracurricular activities. They often are asked follow-up questions about why they liked those activities or what they learned from them. Employers ask these questions because they want to know a bit about your personality to see if you will fit in with the company culture, if you are a well-rounded person with interests outside of work, and what skills and abilities you have that relate to the job. While extracurricular activities are meant to be fun, they also are a way to develop valued by employers. By giving honest answers that loosely connect back to the requirements of the job, you can show employers who you are and why you are a good hire. What Are Extracurriculars? Extracurriculars are any activities or interests you have outside of required classes. Traditional exa mples of extracurriculars are clubs or sports such as student government, debate, hockey, and many more. Societies also are extracurriculars. unterstellung include fraternities and sororities, as well as national honors societies and other membership organizations. Another example of an extracurricular is volunteer work. For instance, perhaps you work at a food pantry or help run the ticket booth at an annual fundraiser. However, there are informal extracurriculars as well. Perhaps you love guitar and play with friends once or twice a month. Maybe you are training for a marathon, or you love gardening. These less official interests can count as extracurriculars, especially if you are not in any clubs or societies. How to Answer Questions When going into an interview, be prepared to talk about your extracurricular activities and how they have helped you to grow as a person and how they have helped you develop valuable professional skills. Follow these tips Be Honest First and for emost, dont lie or exaggerate your role. If you say you were the captain of your schools baseball gruppe when you werent, employers have ways of finding out the truth. When they do, dont expect a job offer. Employers also might remember your extracurriculars and ask you about them in the future. If employers later discover you lied during the hiring process, that gives them legitimate cause to terminate your employment or rescind a job offer. Explain Your Role Dont give brief answers such as, I play the flute. Instead, explain your role within a club or society, or explain how you practice your skill or hobby. For example, you might say. I enjoy playing the flute and am the second chair in my colleges symphony orchestra. We rehearse once a week and have two concerts every semester. This information helps employers understand whether your activity involves leadership or gruppework, and how much time you devote to it. Explain What You Learned or How You Developed After explaining your role in your extracurriculars, give a brief statement about some of the skills or abilities you developed through the activities. For example, explain that being a copy editor for your school newspaper taught you how to pay attention to details and how to notice and address even the smallest errors and inconsistencies. Connect It to the Job When you think about the skills you have learned or improved upon through your extracurriculars, focus on those that are related to the job you are seeking. Before an interview, look back at the job listing and check out the required skills and abilities and think about whether your extracurriculars have helped you develop any of them. The connection does not have to be perfect, but if it has even a general relationship to a required skill or experience, its worth addressing. For example, if you are applying for a job that involves teamwork, you might mention that you play soccer or another team sport. If you are applying for a teaching job, yo u might mention that you volunteer at a local tutoring center for elementary school children. Sample Answers Its important to tailor your answers to your own specific experiences, but when preparing for an interview, its sometimes helpful to have an example of how questions about extracurriculars can be addressed. Use these sample answers as starting points for how you can structure your own answers to questions about how extracurricular activities make you a better job candidate. Resident Assistant At college, I was a resident assistant for two semesters and held a leadership position in student government. As an RA, I was responsible for the care and co-management of a building of more than students. I gained valuable skills planning events, being the leader of a floor, and working as a team to effectively manage resident issues. I developed a lot of those same skills in student government. Our governing board managed events for our senior class of 300 students. I took a leade rship role in event planning for our school dances and seasonal events, all of which had about an 85 percent attendance rate. Drama Club Member I was a member of my schools drama club for all four years of college. I found that as I improved my acting skills, I also gained better communication skills, which has been helpful in my current front-desk job. I can speak clearly and confidently to all people, both on the phone and in person. I also took a number of improv courses, which not only improved my communication but also taught me to be more adaptable and quick on my feet. Music Program Accomplishments I have played the piano for 12 years. I chose a school with a wonderful music program, and I continued to receive one-on-one instruction from some highly respected pianists. I also volunteered at our colleges preschool and developed and ran a highly successful music workshop for 15 preschool students. As an elementary school teacher, I hope to incorporate music into my classroom as much as possible. School Athletics I have been involved in school athletics for almost my whole school career. I was a member of my high schools varsity soccer team, even as a freshman. I was lucky enough to get a scholarship to my university because of my soccer abilities. Being a member of many teams while growing up, I learned the value of being a good team member and working as a team both on and off the field. For example, my soccer teams always developed and ran a number of fundraisers throughout the year, requiring us to set and achieve goals together. I know how much effort it takes and how satisfying it is to achieve a group goal.

Elizabeth Holmes used psychopathic body language on investors

Elizabeth Holmes used psychopathic body language on investorsElizabeth Holmes used psychopathic body language on investorsEntrepreneur Elizabeth Holmes is once again the center of attention but not for any good reasons. After rising to fame as the next big super young successful brilliant (turtleneck wearing) college dropout in Silicon Valley, the multi-million dollar fraud behind zu sich game-changing healthcare company, Tzu sichanos, followed just a few years later.And now, Holmes is getting the media treatment in the forms of podcasts, an HBO documentary, abook (Bad Blood by John Carreyrou) and even a film starring Jennifer Lawrence. A Hulu series can only be months away.Follow Ladders on FlipboardFollow Ladders magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and moraIts not surprising considering our cultures obsession with scammers. January was officially the month of the Fyre Festival documentary and frankly, Holmess story makes Fyre loo k like a lousy cheese sandwich. So how did this brilliant 20-something convince multiple Silicon Valley legends as well as companies including Pfizer and the entire media landscape that she was, in fact, going to revolutionize the medical industry?Well, as the book and documentary explain, there were many blatant lies and fraudulent activities committed. However, Holmes herself, like Fyre Festival and serial entrepreneur Billy McFarland, was an amazing storyteller and deceiver and most likely, a borderline sociopath.They are both excellent at convincing people of things through manipulation and one of the ways Holmes did that was through her body language and even changing some of her physical attributes.Stare into my eyesIn Carreyrous book, he describes how Holmes would make unflinching (but probably somewhat disturbing) eye contact with her deep blue eyes when she was speaking with someone. This move made the person feel that they were the only human in the world while at the sam e time was completely intimidating.Amy Morin, author of 13 Things Mentally Strong People Dont Do, wrote of sociopaths, Their body language is convincing.Psychopaths lie to make themselves look good. But their nonverbal behavior is often so convincing and distracting that people dont recognize theyre being deceitful. A hypnotic combinationIn addition to the staring tactic, Holmes also changed her voice.Carreyrou wrote, that in combination with that unfaltering stare, her voice added to the mesmerizing effect she spoke in an unusually deep baritone. It was absolutely hypnotic.Former Theranos employees reported her sometimes slipping out of this low voice when she had a few too many drinks at a fete and there are even some video clips of her real voice that still exist.Morin also wrote that psychopaths, speak slowly and quietly.Studies show psychopaths usually speak in a controlled manner. They dont emphasize emotional words like other people do. Their tone remains fairly neutral thr oughout the conversation. Researchers suspect they craft a calm demeanor intentionally because it helps them gain more control in their personal interactions.She changed her voice to come off as more powerful as studies have shown that a lower voice is perceived as more authoritative. A recent study found that women actually have lower voices today than their grandmothers did because of shifting roles and power dynamics. Womens voices have become lower as a result of survival of the fittest. And women in powerful positions changing their voices is actually an old story. Margaret Thatcher took elocution lessons and became the Prime Minister of England.Jillian OConnor, an assistant professor of psychology at Concordia Universitywho studieshow voices have influence, told The Cut, This whole Holmes situation, the image manipulation, dressing like Steve Jobs, trying to sound a particular way- it sounds like an awful lot went into the facade. Some ofthe researchweve worked on shows that when men and women deliberately lower their voices, its actually successful. They do sound more dominant. They do sound more likely to be someone whos in a position of power.There is also a video of her doing an interview from a few years back in which she holds her left hand with her right when she is asked about press allegations that portrayed the company negatively. The self-hand holding is something one does to comfort themselves. She also breathed more and stuttered a bit during these intense questions.Another example is this 2014 TED Talk in which she tells a beautiful story about how her company will revolutionize healthcare but never actually presents any lab or test results or really anything that has to do with science. John Brandon of Inc.wrote of this talk She used plenty of interesting factoids. She said words likeengagement,knowledge, andaccess. She shifted to a personal story. She lulled us, she calmed us. She talked about things we care about. That arequite serious. Andyet, we were not really listening.She never really said anything about the science. Psychopaths are known for their charm and great storytelling capabilities.Learning to speak slower or removing umms and likes from your daily dialogue, especially if you are in a role that requires speaking to more than one person is one thing, but to completely change oneself to appear to be a completely different person that is doing anything to become more powerful is psychopathic.You might also enjoyNew neuroscience reveals 4 rituals that will make you happyStrangers know your social class in the first seven words you say, study finds10 lessons from Benjamin Franklins daily schedule that will double your productivityThe worst mistakes you can make in an interview, according to 12 CEOs10 habits of mentally strong people

Pay packets on the rise

Pay packets on the rise Pay packets on the risePosted October 13, 2011, by Helen Isbister The results are in from the 2008 Hays Salary Survey and, fortunately for employees, it looks like wages are on the up and up, especially if you are in the right state, the right industry and the right job. With rents, petrol and grocery prices shooting through the roof, all eyes are focused on income and it pays to have a salary that can keep up with the rising cost of living. According to the newly released Hays data, which has been collated from across 16 employment sectors, mora than 60 per cent of Australian employers expect salaries to increase by 3 to 6 per cent during their next pay review, while 16 per cent are looking at even greater increases. Salary hike hotspots are present across a range of industries and specific job titles depending on where the need for candidates is highest. Nationally, the construction and engineering, mining and resources, and professional services sectors exp erienced the fastest growth, with more than a third of employers in each sector increasing salaries by more than 6 per cent. The most notable increases occurred in the boom states of South Australia, Queensland and Western Australia. In civil and structural engineering, the workers in the highest income brackets saw a strong 13.3 per cent rise. In the banking sector, financial planners were the biggest winners with a 6.7 per cent pay rise. HR directors raked in an extra 7.6 per cent, while in the IT game, infrastructure and support staff with 1 to 2 years experience had the most notable rise, with an 11.6 per cent average increase across the country. The transport and logistics sector received a huge injection of cash, especially into the wallets of transport managers who were rewarded with a staggering 27 per cent increase to their salary. Transport allocators also received high wage increases of 19.4 per cent, followed by distribution managers at 13.8 per cent and logistics projec t managers at 10 per cent. Its also a great time to be in manufacturing and operations project engineers with more than five years experience are earning an extra 29.3 per cent. Process engineers werent too far behind with a 28.3 per cent rise, followed by graduate engineers from all disciplines at 11.5 per cent. Within development, architects received the highest increases with typical salaries rising from $125 000 to $140 000 in Sydney and $100 000 to $120 000 in Canberra. And if youre in mining, metalliferous geology was the place to see a happier payday. Beyond the salary surge, the survey showed that employers are starting to focus more heavily on improving company benefits, work environments and performance-kusined bonuses. In-house lawyers didnt see a spike in their pay packet, but they can look forward to larger bonuses and sign-on fees. And while salaries were stable over the last 12 months for contact centre staff, more employees were offered attractive bonus and benefit p ackages. Director of Hays, Graeme Doyle, said permanent staffing levels were set to increase and that the report reflected a positive outlook on the Australian job market despite weaker financial performances in some employment sectors. This reaffirms the solid base upon which Australasias business strength is built. Steady jobs growth is still the dominant feature of Australasias recruitment market and there are plenty of examples of significant salary increases that testify to its ongoing strength, Doyle said.
