6 Creative Ways to Hire the Best for Your Startup Team

6 Creative Ways to Hire the Best for Your Startup TeamEmployees serve as the backbone of any and every organization especially startups. Early-stage startup success depends on the skills and knowledge of its employees, which makes hiring the right person for the job (and company) more important than ever. Startup owners dont just need to find talented individuals, they need to find individuals who are willing to work extra hard for lower pay, who want to learn and grow with the company, who can become a Jack of all trades, and who will readily adopt the company mission, vision, and values as their own.To help you hire the best talent for your startup team, here are six tips on how to interview for a growing startup from some of todays most successful hiring professionals1. Think like a GPS.I advise startups to think like a GPS when they hire. When you program a GPS, you need three things your specific destination, your specific starting point, and your route preference (shortest rou te, fastest route, avoid tolls, avoid highways). Startups need to be clear about where they are, where they want to go, and what knowledge, skills, and personality traits their employees will need to get them there.When you use a GPS and enter vague information, you can lose time, end up in a bad neighborhood, have to double back because you went in the wrong direction, or possibly end up somewhere you never intended. The same is true for hiring. When you are clear and specific about your destination, you get there faster and have better results.Rebecca Barnes-Hogg, Founder and CEO, YOLO InsightsI advise startups to think like a GPS when they hire RebeccaB_HoggHiringClick To Tweet2. Look for the right personality. Evaluate their personality just as much as, if not more than, their skills and experience. Startups bring a lot of uncertainty, and the management structure is typically atypical. Can the person youre interviewing deal with this? Can they handle the stress of having to we ar multiple hats and juggle extra responsibilities?Could you see yourself being this persons friend? notlage that you have to be (and not that you should be), but can you get along with them? Does the candidate have high emotional intelligence? Are they aware of themselves and how they appear to their peers? I try to hire for attitude. Does the candidate have a good attitude on life? Are they someone who solves problems or are they someone who just complains about them? A bad attitude can ruin even the most talented employee.Skyler Slade, Co-Founder and CTO, TandemRemember Personality Skills for startup hiring skylersladeClick To Tweet3. Sell candidates on your business.Startups have to work a lot harder to get good people because they almost certainly will not have heard of your company before. More established companies will get candidates applying proactively, whereas at a startup, you need to sell the company and the vision back to the candidates. Its almost like youre being i nterviewed as well. Think of it as a two-way sell.Chris Muktar, Co-Founder, WikiJobHow to sell the company and values to candidates viachrismuktarStartupHiringClick To Tweet4. Test their abilities.The best practice I have found for interviewing is to ask the candidate to call a number that is linked to an answering machine. The message asks the candidate to record a message explaining why they are a good candidate for the job. You can tell whether a candidate chooses to hang up and call back prepared or see what they have on the fly.As a direct representation of your brands message, this initial interview process ensures that the candidate will have the ability to think on the fly when presented with one of the many challenges associated with working at a startup.Brearin Land, Founder, Levi-Wolfe FinancialTry this clever way to ensure candidates can overcome challenges via BrearinStartupsClick To Tweet5. Treat the interview like a date.Give them a reason to like you but platzset exp ectations. When interviewing a preferred candidate, try to figure out what motivates them, tie it into their roles and responsibilities, and demonstrate how the company can be the platform for them to excel. At the same time, manage expectations by reminding them that most startups are trying to shift the business landscape and travel into a territory that no one has yet to reach. So, there is no prior wisdom or a recipe for success, until one fumbles through trial and errors before attaining it, which means theyre going to have come in with their eyes openPerlyn Per, HR Director, PocketMathHow is interviewing similar to dating? Insights fromperlynperClick To Tweet6. Look for passion and drive.Evaluate whether the candidate has the drive or what I like to call fire in the belly to work hard, be resourceful, and think creatively. He or she must also have the motivation to go above and beyond the call of duty and have the right balance of energy, confidence, and humility to fit in a s a contributor to a small team culture.To evaluate passion and drive, ask candidates to paint a picture of success in their role and what they would do to contribute in their first 30-60 days on the job. Is the response all about establishing business milestones, team success, stretching and learning? If so, then youve foundsomeone who understands how to flourish in the startup ecosystem.Seline Karakaya, COO, The Kini GroupFire in the belly do your candidates have it?

Taking a Leap to Land a Finance Job

Taking a Leap to Land a Finance JobTaking a Leap to Land a Finance JobThis FinanceLadder members job search welches moving slowly until she gambled a steady paycheck against job satisfaction.Kristen Reed has always been lucky, at least when it comes to job hunting. The 40-year-old Long Island, N.Y. resident said in the past when it welches time to search for a new position, she simply picked up a newspaper or logged into an online job board, and was usually offered whichever position she happened to apply for.Id always worked with smaller companies wzu siche I could make a larger impact, said Reed (who asked Ladders not to use herbeibei real name).And I have an entrepreneurial spirit, so I was always able to work independently, take charge and exceed performance expectations.From automotive to mortgage to hedge fundsAfter spending 12 years as a finance manager working in the automotive industry - where Reed said she was the highest-achieving employee on Long Island - she decided i t was time for a change. Reed moved into a management role at a mortgage broker and made a third move to a different company where she re-evaluated portfolios for various hedge funds.But while the finance-management role at the hedge fund was lucrative, it wasnt her cup of tea. The position was less independent and didnt give Reed the freedom she craved, but the final straw was the devastating financial collapse of 2008, she said.I wanted to get back into a sort of independent/entrepreneurial role, and then, of course, the financial crisis happened, she said. Sure, I was making quite a bit of money, but then the industry fell apart Where was I supposed to go back to when the mortgage industry was gone - the auto industry?A trial run with a recruiterSo, Reed signed up for FinanceLadder in October 2008 and quickly made contact with a recruiter looking to fill a financial-advisor position with a major New York financial firm. The experience was new to Reed, whod always searched for an d found new jobs on her own, but she said she was incredibly satisfied with the process.Id never worked with a recruiter before, and I didnt know what to expect, Reed said. But she was fantastic. She held my hand through the entire process and was constantly reassuring me.With the recruiters support, Reed said, she went through round after round of phone and in-person interviews, and was so confident of her ability to land the job that she suspended her job search when she was in the final rounds for one employer.I wasnt actually searching anymore I put all my eggs in one basket, really, because I was so confident I was going to get the job, she said. But after six months, her intense focus on one opportunity started to look like a mistake.No guts, no gloryI kept interviewing and re-interviewing, and the firm kept saying, You have to come back again and meet this person, and these lokal managers, etc., and at one point I thought to myself, Come on What is the problem? Am I going to have to meet the Pope next? Reed laughed.Reed said that though she strongly disliked her full-time mortgage-broker position, shed tried to hang on as long as possible just to have some job and financial security.I hated that job, but I was holding on to it because I didnt want to let go of a salary in this economy, she said. When her discontent finally became too much to bear, she decided on a risky course of action - she quit with the intention of striking out on her own as a consultant or starting her own business.It proved to be the best move she could have made, she said, when yet another interviewer congratulated her on her resignation and almost instantly offered her the position for which shed been interviewing.The last woman I interviewed with said to me, You quit a salaried position, in this economy, to strike out on your own? That is a gutsy move, and thats exactly the kind of attitude and spirit were looking for, Reed said.I really floored her she said it took a whole lot of nerve, confidence and self-motivation, and thats what cemented it for her that I was the right person for the job, Reed said.Reed started at the finance firm in late May 2009 and is thrilled with the position. She said it draws on all her accumulated skills, and also allows her the freedom of working for herself with the security of a constant salary.I am in the perfect place right now, she said. I couldnt be happier.

Seeing Daughters Graduate Air Force Basic Training

Seeing Daughters Graduate Air Force Basic TrainingSeeing Daughters Graduate Air Force Basic TrainingI had the distinct pleasure of watching my twin daughters (Christina and Jeanie) graduate from Air Force Basic Training, at Lackland Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas. If your loved one is graduating from basic training, and there is any way at all you can attend, I highly recommend it. Its an experience you will never forget. Note The information in this article describes my trip to Air Force Basic Training graduation. This is the schedule and what happened when I went. The times and events you experience may be different. For the current lists of dates, times, and events, contact the Lackland AFB Basic Training Reception Center at(210) 671-3024. A week or so before the graduation you should receive a two-page brochure from your loved one with information concerning the graduation. Part of this packet will consist of a temporary vehicle pass, which you will need to drive a car, and/o r even get onto the base during your visit (unless you are active duty/retired military, in which case your normal military vehicle sticker will suffice). If you do not receive the vehicle passor have more than one vehicle, dont worry. You can get a replacement/more passes when you first arrive at the base, at the visitors center at the Valley Hi or scheibe Street Gates. The basic training graduation schedule always begins on Thursday eveningand ends on Sunday evening. If you can plan to be there during the entire four days, its well worth it. Thursday We drove, and timed our arrival at 1030 hours (1030 AM) on Thursday so that we could attend the events briefing scheduled for 1100 (1100 AM). The events briefing is conducted several times, all day Thursday, and once on Friday morning. If you are driving to San Antonioor renting a car at the San Antonio Airport, you will be arriving on one of four major roads I-10/Hwy. 90, Hwy. 281, I-37 or I-35. Local traffic conditions are particula rly congested during weekdays between 700 AM to 900 AM and again between 400 PM to about 700 PM Arriving from the East on I-10 or Hwy 90 Travel straight through San Antonio on I-10/Hwy 90 West. Exit on Military Drive Turn left onto Military Drive. Travel South approximately 1 mile to the Luke Street entry gate which will be on your right. Arriving from the North on I-35, Hwy. 281 or I-10 When you enter San Antonio, turn right onto Loop 410 West. Take exit 7 Valley Hi /Lackland AFB. Remain on the access road until reaching the Valley Hi intersection. Turn left onto Valley Hi. Travel East approximately 3/4 mile to the Valley Hi entry gate, which will be directly ahead. Arriving from the South on I-35 or I-37 When you enter San Antonio, turn left onto Loop 410. Take exit 7 Valley Hi / Lackland AFB. Remain on the access road until reaching the Valley Hi intersection. Turn right onto Valley Hi Travel East approximately 3/4 mile to the Valley Hi entry gate, which will be directly ahead. I f you are flying to San Antonio, I stronglyrecommend you rent a car at the airport. While you can travel via taxi or bus to Lackland AFB, it will be extremely difficult getting from your hotel to the various events at Lackland throughout the graduation weekend, if you are not driving a car. From REDLEG, a reader of ours, who recently attended a graduation ceremony at Lackland If you dont want to rent a car, or you are not old enough to rent a car, you may wish to try MAC TRANS, tel (210) 670-8855. Rates from their business card To/from Lackland AFB (and surrounding hotels) to/from Airport $15 per partie (but if theres two or more people riding, its $10 each) Transportation on base (from one point on Lackland AFB to another) - $3.00 per person Transportation to/from a location on base to/from local hotel - $4.00 per person Transportation to/from a location on base (or local hotel) to/from the San Antonio Downtown area - $12.00 ($6.00 per person for two or more) Once you enter one o f the gates, there are signs which will direct you to the Basic Training Reception Center, which is located on Carlswell Street. The Reception Center opens at 0800 (800 AM) on Thursday, and there are scheduled events briefings throughout the day. Even if you dont plan to attend one of the briefings, a member of the family must sign into the reception center to make sure your recruit will be available during the visitation periods. This is EXTREMELY important. Do not attempt to surprise your family member by not signing in. If you do so, you run the risk that he/she will be scheduled for Dorm Guard or some other detail during the visitation periods, and you wont get to landlandsee them. When you sign in, have their squadron and flight number ackerschnacker (it will be on the invitation you receive in the mail, and is also part of the mailing address youve been using to write to them while in basic). Having this information handy will make it much easier to find their name on the vis itation list. The events briefing lasts about an hour to 1 1/2 hours. While subject to change, the current schedule for the briefings is Thursday0900 (900 AM)1100 (1100 AM)1400 (200 PM) Friday0900 (900 AM) The events briefing gives you an overview of what will/when will happen during the graduation weekend, as well as rules you and the recruit must follow. Even if you are current/retired military, I highly recommend attending one of behauptung briefings (The only negative comment I have about the briefing is that the briefer kept referring to our graduating loved ones as Your Recruit. Your recruit will arrive at 0900 hours. Your Recruit is allowed to ride in your vehicle. I remember thinking to myself, Wait a minute, they are *YOUR* recruits, but they are *MY* daughters). In addition to signing in and attending one of the briefings, the Reception Center has a snack bar and a gift shop. It is here that you can also bestellung copies of the graduation ceremony videos. One of the thing s that surprised me the most during our visit were the number of family members and friends attending. When I graduated Air Force Basic in 1975, there were about three recruits in my flight who had family members/friends attend the graduation parade. In mydaughtersflight, there were just two recruits who DIDNT have family members or friends attending. One recruit in my daughters flight had 16 guests attending When we arrived at 1030 for the events briefing, the two close parking lots were already almost full. Those who arrived a little bit later for the briefing had to park in other parking lots two, three, and even four blocks down the road. After the events briefing, we decided to drive over to the other side of the base (the base is divided into two sections). As we crossed Military Drive to enter the gate on the other side, we noticed a long line of cars for those using the temporary visitor passes at the gates visitor center (being retired military, my vehicle has a military s ticker, so we didnt have to use the passes). The temporary passes must be signed by Security Police to be activated. In order to activate the pass, you will need your vehicle registration, yourdriverslicense, and proof of insurance. Once signed, the pass is valid until the end of the following Sunday. During the events briefing, we were told that the recruits would arrive at the Reception Center that evening at about 1600 (400 PM) for the evening retreat ceremony, which begins at 1630 (430 PM). Noting the size of the morning crowd, we decided to see if we could check into our hotel a little early and try and make it back by about 1500 (330 PM) to beat the crowd and try and get a close parking space. We had reservations at the Best cowboyfilm Lackland Inn Suits, which is just down the road on Hwy 90. The hotel is clean, modern, and modestly priced (for San Antonio). However, if I had to do it again, I wouldnt stay there. Instead, I think I would try the Holiday Inn which is just an other few blocks down. When I made the reservations, I asked for asuiteand welches told there were three types of rooms regular rooms, small suites, and large suites. I chose the small suite (trying to save a few bucks). The small suite turns out to be nothing more than a room with a kitchenette. While this is not too bad, there were absolutely no cooking/eating utensils supplied, so unless we wanted to go out and buy a complete set of cooking utensils, it didnt do us much good. At least in the Holiday Inn, there would have been room service. We were gone from the room all day on Friday, and the room had not been cleaned upon our return at about 830 PM. I complained about this, and the room welches cleaned while we were out on Saturday, but upon ourreturn,we found that someone (presumably the maid) had left a walkie-talkie on one of the beds. Minor problem(s), but shows a lack of attention to detail that one expects when staying in a nicer hotel. Eagle3000 (The folks who run the Basic Training Souvenir Shop) have a list of hotelswhich give discounts for family members attending Air Force Basic Training Graduation. There are two videos professionally taken during the graduation weekend the Thursday retreat ceremony and Fridays graduation parade. You can order a copy of each at the Reception Center Gift Shop. The cost is $21.00 for each video or $35.00 for both. They are delivered (by mail) about six weeks after you order them. You can also buy loads of basic training souvenirs at the shop. Hint If you dont want to fight the crowds at the gift shop, you canorder most of the popular items, online. If you have a military/retired/dependent ID card, there is a possibility that you can stay at the Gateway Inn on Lackland Air Force Base. Dont count on this, though. The Gateway Inn (base billeting) is usually full at Lackland with official duty travelers. Guide Note The first event *used* to be the Retreat Ceremony. This changed after our visit. Now, the first even t is the Airmans Fun Run, which is at 930 A.M. on Thursday Morning. The Airmen run for two miles, in military formation, and their route takes them past the Reception Center, where family members line up to try and get a glance at their recruit. You wont have an opportunity to talk to your recruit at this time, however (they dont stop there). That opportunity will come after the Retreat Ceremony. Our plan to arrive back ahead of the crowd didnt work. When we arrived back at about 1530 (330 P.M.), the parking lots were already packed, and we had to park a couple of blocks down the road. The bleachers were also getting full by then, and had we arrived any later, it would have been standing room only. For those who dont know, a retreat ceremony is a ceremony to lower the United States Flag at the end of the official duty day. The various flights began marching up to the retreat grounds (which is a parking lot behind the Reception Center), at about 1600. Everyone who could leave the ble achers while having someone save their placeleft to stand at the side of the marching path to see if they could see their loved one(s). I tried. I really, really tried. At one time I thought I saw one of my daughters, but told myself it welchesnt her. (Turns out I was wrong). Your loved one will look completely different. They look different (hair, uniform), they walk (march) different, and most of all, their attitude or air about them is completely different. After the recruits march up to their staging area, everyone returned to their seats. Here is where knowing your loved ones flight number will also help. As they march onto the Retreat Field, their flight is announced. Keep your eyes peeled for where they wind up. There is simply no way to describe how one feels during the retreat ceremony. I have been through hundreds of such ceremonies, and dozens of military parades. I have been both a spectator and a participant. I have spent countless hours organizing both events. Not a single event struck me emotionally as hard as watching my daughters as part of a group of proud professionals, displaying their respect for our Nations flag. If there isnt a tear in your eye at the end of this ceremony, youre a harder person than I am. After the ceremony, they dismiss the flights, and invite the hundreds in the stands to go on down and find your recruit. You dont have a chanceif you dont know the approximate area to begin your search. Luckily, Im much larger than the average Joe, and my daughters were able to find me. Otherwise, Id probably still be looking. However, they found me, and it was finally the moment I had traveled 900 miles for. To say I was the proudest, happiest man on earth would be a very large understatement. Im not even going to try and find the words. This is something you will have to discover yourself. A word about Public Displays of Affection (PDA), while wearing a military uniform. This is normally frowned on by the military, but an exception is made during this period for BRIEF hugs and kisses. Keep it brief, however. Dont get your husband/wife/boyfriend/girlfriend in trouble by swapping spit in front of hundreds of spectators and (worse) their T.I.s. (This is true of the entire visit. On Saturday, during the town pass, I saw a recruit walking through a mall downtown with his wife/girlfriend, hand-in-hand. I was about to approach him and give him a little advicewhen an off-duty T.I. beat me to it. He took the recruit off to the side for five minutes of conversation. Its best not to speculate about the words/phrases used). After retreat ends (about 1645), and you find your loved one in the crowd, you can take them anywhere on base until about 1930 (730 PM). It is very important that they get back to the Reception Center by then because they must walk back to their dormitory and be inside no later than 2000 (800 PM). I dont know if it would actually happen, but recruits are told they will be recycled if they break curfe w. Best not let your loved one be a test case. Heres a tip about what your loved one will want to do EAT. Neither of my daughtersweresweet-lovers before basic training. Both of them were into health foods. However, a week before graduation, I talked to my daughters on the phone, and they asked me to bring food, any food, but make sure I brought lots of junk food. After we checked into our hotel, before returning to the Reception Center, we found a grocery store, and (get this) a drive-through Chinese Restaurant (China Rose, located on Military Drive, just north of Hwy 90). Between the grocery store and China Rose, I bought 2 quarts of fried rice (one quart of chicken, one of beef), a cheesecake, an apple pie, a package of cookies, a 12-pack of coke, and two chocolate pudding snack packs. My thoughts were to give my daughters a widechoiceand save any leftovers for the next day. What leftovers? We decided to leave the crowd who were gathering around the picnic tablesatthe ReceptionC enterand found a small park right behind the Commissary. After polishing off all of the food we brought for them, as well as a candy bar that I happened to have in the groraumlimousine for myself, my daughters asked me if we could stop by Baskin Robbins on the way back to the Reception Center. Bring your loved one food lots of food Another thing to be prepared for. If you arent or havent been in the Air Force, expect your loved ones to be speaking to you in a foreign language. They will use military/Air Force acronyms without thinking about it. When we were doing PC, the MTI told me to report ASAP to the MPF. (Translation While we were busy doing exercises, the guy who is in charge of my life at this point in time, told me to go as fast as I possibly could to the building where the people who do the paperwork hang out). Friday The graduation parade begins the next day (Friday) at 1100 (during the summer months, when the weather is hotter, the graduation parade is at 0900). However, the parade is held on the other side of the base, away from the Reception Center. Since 9-11, they dont allow parking close to the bleachers on the Parade Ground, sobusesbegin leaving the Reception Center at about 1015. They use dozens of busses and they keep loading/moving passengers at an impressive pace. Learning our lesson from the night before, and knowing there was a scheduled briefing at 0900 that many people would be attending, we arrived at the Reception Center at 0800 to get a close parking space. Hint If you decide to do this, there is a MacDonalds on Military Drive, just north of Hwy 90. A couple of breakfast sandwiches, and a large cup of coffee, and youre good to go. A word for smokers The retreat bleachers, the parade ground, and the Reception Center arenon-smokingareas. However, you can sit in your car andsmokeand the picnic tables in the backof the Reception Center have been designated as smoking areas. Away from these areas, you can smoke outside, but there is no smoking inside of most of the Air Force facilities. The graduation parade begins at1100and is over surprisingly quickly. I expected the parade (with speeches) to last a full hour, but it barely lasted 30 minutes. Again, upon completion, the recruits are dismissed and everyone in the stands gets to rush down and congratulate them (after you find them). Your loved one is allowed to ride the bus back to the reception center with you, or, you can choose to walk back with them (about 3/4 of a mile). At that point, they are released for an all-day on-baselibertyand can ride with you in your vehicle anywhere on base. Right after the parade, and until about 1300 (100 P.M.), there is an open house held in the dormitories. This period is referred to (by the Basic Training Staff) as the payback period. This is where you can see where your loved one actuallylivedand can see with your own eyes that it was possible to teach him/her how to make a bed and fold clothes. This is also a chance for yo u to meet and talk with their T.I.s. Before walking over to the dorm, one of my daughters begged me, Please, Dad, dont make any jokes, okay? Our T.I.DOES NOThave a sense of humor. Luckily for her, thebayshe lived in was on the top (3rd) floor, up five flights of stairs. Upon reaching the top level, I couldnt even breath, let alone attempt to be funny. I think they build dormitory floors higher than when I went through basic. The visit to the dorm reinforces that even though they have gone through the graduation ceremony, they are still in basic training, and will be until they out process. When we left the bay and went back down the flight of stairs (much easier going down, I think the exercise of going up got me a little bit back into shape), there was a T.I. waiting there, sending recruits back up to fix their scuffed shoes. My daughters noticed this before we even left the doorway of the building, and scurried back up the stairs without being told (they learned much during their six weeks). Before we could get on with our day, there was some running around to do. My daughters needed to pick up some uniforms from the cleanersand had to get some items from military clothing sales (One of them needed to buy an Honor Graduate Ribbon). Be prepared to do this, as most places they may need to go (officially) are closed on Sundays, and some of the official offices, such as finance or personnel will be closed on Saturday, as well. During our trip, there was only one authorized off-base pass, which occurred on Saturday. However, effective June 2004, the Air Force has changed their basic training pass procedures. The pass following the graduation parade on Friday is now an off-base pass, as is the pass on Saturday following graduation. Winners of the Thunderbolt and Warhawk awards, as well as honor graduates, get an off-base pass on Sunday, as well. Others receive an on-base pass on Sunday. If you elect to stay on base during the pass-periods, there are plenty of pla ces to visit on Lackland, including the BX, Commissary, Bowling Center, parks, eating establishments, etc., during the on-base pass on Friday, but they will all be crowded with new graduates and their families. If youve never seen a military commissary or BX, this will be your chance. You can enter these facilities with your recruit, but you will not be able to purchase anythingunless you have a military ID card (your recruit can purchase for you, however). We spent our time during the day eating (well, my daughters were eating, anyway), at almost every eating place on base and there are several of them, including the AAFES Snack Bar, the BX Food Court, Bowling Center, Gateway Club, Mitchell Hall, Smokin Joes BBQ, Arnold Hall, Burger King, Golf Course and various other concessions throughout the base. You will not believe how much your loved one wants (or needs) to eat (Im still shaking my head over this, a full week later). Again, you have to make sure you return them by 1930, as they must walk back and be inside the dormitory no later than 2000. Saturday Saturday, the recruits are released at about 0900, and should arrive at the Reception Center shortly after. There is no need to arrive early on this day. The parking lot which was blocked off for the Retreat Ceremony on Thursday and used for the buses on Fridayshould now be open, which allows much more parking space. Consider using this parking lot. While parked there, I noticed several people still parking blocks away, when they noted the other two parking lots were full. Saturdays visit, like Friday, is an off base pass. You can take your loved one anywhere downtown San Antonio. Again, you must return them to the Reception Center (or one of the other designated drop-off points) by 1930. I wont go over all thats available to visit in San Antonio, as there are many attractions and they are available on the Internet, and in various guide books. Many people in my daughters flight planned to spend the day at S ea World, or Fiesta Texas (Six Flags). Because I spoiled by daughters rotten when they were kids, they had already visited these attractions beforeand had no desire to stand in lines on a busy Saturday. Instead, we visited the River Walk briefly, and then they wanted to explore a mall (and pretend they were teenagers again). After the mall, we went to our hotel room, where they indulged themselves in a long, hot, PRIVATE shower (no privacy in basic), and watched a pay-per-view movie (and, of course, ate constantly throughout the day). Sunday If you elect to stay Sunday (we didnt), it will be an on base passunless your recruit is an honor graduateor a winner of the Thunderbolt or Warhawk awards. The recruits will be released to walk to the Reception Center at about 0900 and can spend the day with you until about 1730 (530 PM) that evening. They must be back in their dorm by 1800 to pack up and prepare to ship out to technical school the next day. Youll be happy to know that I spoke with both of my daughters on the phone a week after they started technical school (Air Force Job Training), and their eating habits hadALMOSTreturned to normal.

What to Know About North Carolina Child Labor Laws

What to Know About North Carolina Child Labor Laws What to Know About North Carolina Child Labor Laws If youre a teenager living in North Carolina and you want to get a job, where do you start? It can be helpful to first understand the child labor laws in the state so youre even sure whether you can  work there. Each states laws can be somewhat different, so if your family recently moved from Ohio, it doesnt necessarily mean that you can also work in North Carolina simply because you had a job before you moved. How Old You Have to Be to Work in North Carolina You can begin working in North Carolina when youre 14 years old, but you must have a child employment certificate to do so. You can obtain an employment certificate from the Department of Labor or your countys Social Services office. Fourteen  is the same age that federal law sets as the minimum age to work, although there are some exceptions. When theres a conflict between federal and state laws, the more restrictive law will apply, but thats not an issue in North Carolina because the minimum age is the same.   When a 14-Year-Old Can Work Although North Carolina does allow a 14-year-old to work, the state does treat some teens differently depending on exactly how old they are. For example, 14- and 15-year-olds can work up to three  hours on school days and up to eight  hours on non-school days, but theyre prohibited from working more than  18 hours during weeks when school is in session or more than 40 hours during weeks when school is out. They must also work between  7 a.m.  and  7 p.m. except during summers when they can  work until 9 p.m.  The Wage-Hour Act dictates that at a minimum, teens  under the age of 16 must be given a 30-minute break after theyve worked for five consecutive hours.   Juveniles cannot hold jobs that are considered hazardous, such as most manufacturing jobs or in jobs that expose them to toxic chemicals or other dangerous substances or working conditions. Rules for Older Teens Teens in the 16- to 17-year-old age group have a bit more flexibility when it comes to working hours, but they generally cant work between the hours of  11 p.m.  and  5 a.m. if school is in session that day. In other words, they cant clock out at work at 5 a.m. and head off to school a few hours later. They cant clock out at midnight if they have school the next day. With parental permission and with permission from a school administrator, however, this restriction can sometimes be waived. Older teens are typically also prohibited from working under dangerous conditions and in hazardous jobs, but there are exceptions. For example, teens who participate in programs that are defined as apprenticeships by the Fair Labor Standards Act may be able to work in hazardous fields that are normally off-limits to youths.

9 ways to triple your income in the next 6 months

9 ways to triple your income in the next 6 months 9 ways to triple your income in the next 6 months Tina Craig started Bag Snob (now Snob Essentials)  with twenty dollars. That’s right, two-zero bucks. Within a month she and her partner Kelly Cook had 480 dollars in revenueâ€" a 400% increase.But it can be really scary to strike out on your own. When those  sponsored IG posts  aren’t coming through yet, or your affiliate links aren’t making you dollars quite yet,  a paycheck isn’t a guarantee.So we gathered up intel from Create Cultivate’s speakers this past weekend in Dallas, to find out how to double, triple, or just straight up explode your income in 6 months.Know when to say noMoney may not grow on trees, but even if it did, would we truly be better off?  In the beginning of a business the fact that anyone is offering you money can be really exciting, but that’s also what makes it slightly dangerous.  Lynsey Eaton from Tomboy KC  says “If a client’s expectations are outrageous, despite a number. Don’t take it. Don’t be afraid to back out.”If you take on a job that’s too big, or you know a client has unreasonable demands, this can actually hurt you in the long run, even if you’re getting a quick payoff.People in marketing and brand industries talk, so if you do a “bad” job, it may hurt your chances of being hired by a different company in the future.  It you don’t perform, it looks bad on your end, not the client’s.Don’t take money just because it’s thereFundraising is a big part of any business. As SoulCycle founders told the crowd, “Your own sweat equity can take you pretty far, but what happens when you run out and you need that 15 million dollars.”But taking money for the sake of having it, doesn’t always make sense. Katherine Power of Who What Wear told the audience, “Fundraising is the most time consuming. We’ve been able to show tremendous growth and profitability, but it will take up at least six months of your life where you do nothing else.”Deciding however who to take the money from is a whole different strategic game. Power explained: “It is a game of chess where you try to figure out who to take money from.  And what people don’t realize is that raising too much capital can also be a problem. The more money you raise the bigger hurtle you’re making for you and your employees to get over.”Re-evaluate expensesThere are items you are spending money on, that you don’t need to be. It’s that simple and you know what they are. Maybe you go six months without a mani/pedi or a morning latte. Maybe you vow to stop shopping until you meet goal X. Brunch with friends? Kiss it goodbye for a minute.There are plenty of social activities that don’t require draining your bank account.Beyond that, look at your business expenses.  Are you spending a ton of money on office supplies? Are you spending too much on office rent? Have you put the cart before the horse? Faking it, till you make it is necessary at some points, but if you’re not seeing profits, you’re not making i t.Know when to delegateThis is one of the hardest things for most CEOs and founders, but delegating and letting go of the reigns so that your employees can thrive in their job will also free up your time to focus on efforts like… fundraising.That also means making smart hires. Sakara Life co-founder and Forbes 30 Under 30 Danielle DuBoise said that she doesn’t want people who are experts, the ones who come in and already have a plan in their head. “What you want are people that love the challenge of growth.”Those kind of employees with be happy to work Saturday AMs or answer your emails outside of business hours, and will make it easier for you to feel comfortable handing them control.Re-negotiate contractsThere are jobs you keep that suck up a lot of your time, but only make you pennies on the dollar.  At a certain point those “trade” jobs or “good for your resume” jobs are no longer worth how much they drag you down. Time is a factor you have to consider.If you’r e holding onto a job that’s preventing you from focussing your skills and talents in other useful directions,  or if you’ve been underpaid for a job for too long, ask to renegotiate. This not only shows you where you stand in terms of value to the company, but it will also help you drop the career dead weight.Create a media kitHilary Sloan of Shopstyle touched on the importance of media kits and reaching out to the right brands.She told the audience, “You need a media kit to showcase what you do, and what you’re best at. If you don’t have powerful numbers that wow people. you can use screen shots of content that’s wow’d people. Think beyond ‘here are my numbers, here are the sales I’ve driven.’ Think of things you’ve accomplished- and present them in a beautiful way.”Pitch yourselfAlong those same lines, you should be pitching yourself, not waiting for brands or jobs to come to you. While you might not have the following or engagement to work with a brand li ke Kate Spade quite yet, there are just as many up-and-coming brands as there are up-and-coming businesses like yours. So do the research and pitch yourself to those companiesâ€" there is money to be made in collaboration.As for how to do it?  Genevieve Ascencio from Factory PR had this to say:“How do I like to receive a pitch? Creativity is a huge part of it.  Maybe I only have 2k followers, but I have these women who are very engaged. I like to see a deck or one-pager. The ones that are most impressive include cool skills that I don’t see on your blog. You would be surprised at what brands are looking for.”Beyond that she said:“It’s not just about the pitch, it’s about the followup.  Stats about the post. We want to see that you’re reposting, liking, commenting, showing a level of enthusiasm that makes a brand feel like it wasn’t just for a dollar.”Caroline of House of Harper follows a three-step method: Preparation- Put in the work so you can be impressive, even if you don’t win the pitch that day. Know Your Own Strengths- Figure out what differentiates you from your peers Stop and Ask What Their Goals Are- Do they want to grow their Pinterest, or social media, or drive sales?  Know so that you can tailor your pitch to them. Know your audienceThere is a lot more to making money than posting cute selfies and running an Instagram account. This may seem obvious, but intention and attention to detail go a long way when it comes to you incomeâ€" in fact, it’s one of the only things you have to differentiate yourself initially online.Jenna Crandall and Lisa Allen from Lunchpails and Lipstick made this great point:  â€œTake each follower as an individual and service each and every follower.  Someone with 30k followers can be making more money than someone with a million followers if they have better engagement.”Kendi of Kendi Everyday told the audience that if she wears an outfit, and the affiliate return is not that great or people aren’t clicking through, she’ll rethink that post, and wear the piece again.Don’t take the first offerWe’re going to end this on a piece of sound advice from the lawyer of the bunch who knows a thing or two about taking and making deals.“What you learn in law school y ou learn in business, you know what’s a good deal for you. Let “them” worry about them. Let them take care of their deal. No one is going to come to you with their best offer. And if you take that, that’s fine. But they’ve won.”Wise words Lynsey Eaton.

3 Tips for Upskilling Employees in Fast-Changing Fields

3 Tips for Upskilling Employees in Fast-Changing Fields 3 Tips for Upskilling Employees in Fast-Changing Fields As companies strive to compete in todays digital ecosystem,  HR departments are facing two major hurdles in staffing workplaces. First, the low unemployment rate has created a shallow candidate pool. Second, the skills employees currently hold are quickly becoming  irrelevant as new technologies and processes are introduced, leading to widening talent gaps. Skills shortages impact almost every industry,  but they have  proven especially problematic in fast-moving industries where new technologies, tools, and processes arise regularly. This leaves recruiters constantly searching for candidates who have the skills current employees  lack. With a limited pool of talent to choose from, HR departments need to find better solutions to  closing the skills gap.  One alternative to hiring new talent is upskilling current employees through regular training sessions. Upskilling employees not only helps companies fill hard-to-fill positions, but it is also an effective way to boost morale and ensure employees stay relevant in a constantly evolving  industry. Here are three things to keep in mind when developing a training program for your fast-moving industry: 1. Make It Relevant Take a look at the roles and responsibilities document for each employee level and adjust it to  better fit your businesss current requirements.  This will  give you a clear understanding of where the gaps in your workforce are. Using this information, you can create training initiatives that specifically target those gaps. Be sure to outline how each of the skills youre targeting is applicable to the employee, and share examples of where they will use it in their jobs. If you only offer training based on what the company needs and not what employees want, you could end up actually damaging employee engagement and morale. It is critical to ask employees about the professional development they desire and incorporate it into your program alongside trainings that cultivate the skills your company seeks. 2. Make It Important Upskilling isnt an overnight project. It is a long-term investment that requires foresight into what your organization will need down the road. To get a clear picture of your companys future, youll need  engagement from senior leadership. Participating in training programs  must be a priority for the leadership team, and it should be communicated to employees as a priority as well. Training takes time, so employees must get started now in order to see results  within a reasonable time frame. 3. Make It Personal A successful training is one that relies on engaging lesson plans that align with the abilities and learning styles of all trainees.  When designing lessons, consider incorporating the following to ensure your program has a wide, effective reach: Individualized Learning:  Individualized learning can increase engagement and retention and open the door to continuous learning and growth. While this may sound cumbersome, it doesnt need to be. Simply provide employees with a variety of ways  to engage with and learn  the material. For example, employees could choose between reading the lesson in a workbook or listening to a lecture. When employees have options, they can choose the methods that work best for them. Bite-Sized Learning:  Full days of training can be  hard manage on top of already demanding workloads. Breaking up lessons into one-hour sessions  can make them easier to digest while granting employees ample time to handle their work tasks. Another strategy is to  use microlearning: breaking lessons into 3-5 minute chunks of information, usually delivered online. Microlearning integrates easily into a normal workday and can incorporate elements such as gamification, apps, and whiteboard animations. Gamification: Gamification taps the human desire to achieve goals in order to motivate learning. Gamified training, which incorporates games and competitions into training materials, can be an effective way to capture attention and incentivize  participation. - Investing in your employees is one of the smartest business decisions  you can make, especially in a fast-moving industry where employees skill sets can easily grow obsolete.  Upskilling  programs show employees that you value them and support the  longevity for their careers. Moreover, these programs also give your company access to hard-to-find skills without having to  spend tons of time and money in a fiercely competitive  talent market.

Prints Indelible Mark

Print’s Indelible Mark Print’s Indelible Mark Print’s Indelible Mark, Part 1 Futurists have been predicting the demise of print-on-paper publishing for decades. Sure enough, e-readers, smart phones, and websites have transformed the habits of information consumers. Somehow, though, the dead-tree format has persisted. New technologies such as sheet-fed inkjet presses and different types of inks are helping printers counter digital medias advantages in terms of customization, production costs per unit, and visual impact. While theres no stopping the advance of digital media, there is every reason to believe that print will be around for much longer than was once predicted. Throughout the history of printing, people have overcome challenges from critics, commercial interests, and even climate to put words into type. Here is a look back at some unusual milestones that underscore humankinds relentless drive to improve technologies for capturing the printed word. For You: Discover the latest breakthroughs in manufacturing and design at ASME.org. Diamonds Are Forever A page from the “Diamond Sutra,” the world’s oldest dated printed book. Image: Wikimedia Commons Happy 1,150th birthday to the worlds oldest dated printed book, the Diamond Sutra. Printed on a manual woodblock press in 9th century China and discovered by western archeologists in 1907, the 17.5-foot scroll has much to tell us about the early rise of printing technology. Its key claim to fame? The ancient equivalent of a copyright blurb, which dates its publication to May 11, 868, by one Wang Jie on behalf of his parents. The text is a sacred Buddhist sermon that was first translated from Sanskrit into Chinese several hundred years earlier. Because the act of reproducing holy books was thought to bring merit and ward off evil spirits, Buddhists began honing their woodblock carving and printing skills in the 7th century. As they brought their faith to new parts of the world, woodblock printing know-how began spreading across Asia. Little is known about the history of the scroll before the year 1000, when it and thousands of other important books were hidden in a cave to protect them from an impending attack by a neighboring kingdom. The cave was rediscovered by Chinese monks around 1900. Seven years later, British archeologist Marc Aurel Stein got wind of the hidden library, bribed its protectors, and smuggled the Diamond Sutra and other texts out of China. Whoever printed the book for Wang Jie followed a painstaking process, which began by painting the text onto sheets of paper. The manuscript was then pasted ink-side down on a wooden block to serve as a kind of stencil. The individual characters were then carved into the wood block, creating a reverse impression of the text. Seven blocks in total were carved to capture the full text of the Diamond Sutra. Each block was inked and pressed onto a piece of paper, which were then connected and rolled into a scroll. Historians believe printers could make up to 1,000 copies per day from each carved wood block. Linotype on the Line Hailed by Thomas Edison as the Eighth Wonder of the World, Ottmar Mergenthalers Linotype machine transformed the printing industry by dramatically simplifying and accelerating the laborious processes of manual typesetting and page composition. Before the Linotype, type was composited by hand by skilled typesetters placing individual reusable letters, numerals, and spaces on a printing plate. The time-consuming process effectively limited daily newspapers to eight pages per issue, so newspaper owners eagerly backed new automation technologies that would give them more pages, and more advertising space. Appearing in 1886, the Linotype automated the process with molten metal type that was poured into reusable character-shaped molds set into place one line at a time using a specialized keyboard. The hulking Linotype reigned supreme in the worlds printing plants for decades before finally succumbing to electronic composition methods in the 1980s. The device, however, was nearly the victim of its own promise. Mergenthalers first practical model was manufactured in Baltimore from 1886 to 1888. The directors of his company limited the use of the first 100 of these machines to a small group of publishers who had invested in its development. They also prohibited Mergenthaler from making improvements to the original, problematic design. Unable to make a profit, the company nearly folded. Mergenthaler decided to quit. By 1888, after overcoming a near fatal bout of pleurisy, the relentless tinkerer developed a vastly improved Linotype design, the Model 1, and a reorganized Linotype Company would go on to dominate the printing industry for nearly a century. Michael MacRae is an independent writer. In Part 2 of Prints Indelible Mark, learn about the Paige Compositor, extremely cold type, and the ultra-complex Chinese typewriter.

Robots star in ads, but mislead viewers about technology

Robots star in ads, but mislead viewers about technology Robots star in ads, but mislead viewers about technology Nowhere is the advance of technology more evident than in the rise of robots and artificial intelligence. From smart devices to self-checkout lanes to Netflix recommendations, robots (the hardware) and AI (the software) are everywhere inside the technology of modern society. They’re increasingly common in ads, too: During the 2019 Super Bowl alone, seven ads aired featuring either robots or AI.Since I began studying human-robot interactions almost a decade ago, I’ve observed that in most ads, robots typically fall into one of three general categories: scary, sad or stupid. All three perpetuate common misconceptions about technologies that are already beginning to play a pivotal role in people’s lives.Follow Ladders on Flipboard!Follow Ladders’ magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and more!The fear factor“Scary robot” ads are inevitable, given the popularity of the sinister robot trope. Advertisers, like Hollywood, embrac e scary robot narratives because they’re more dramatic than ones in which robots and humans get along.“Fear is Everywhere,” a paranoia-inducing 2019 commercial, advertises SimpliSafe home security systems, which use some of the same monitoring technology the ad demonizes. Rather than reminding viewers of their concerns about burglars or basement flooding, the ad highlights robots and AI as the omnipresent danger. A woman in an electronics store asks her friend if he’s listening, and a creepy computer voice issues forth from a speaker: “Always, Denise.”SimpliSafe’s ‘Fear is Everywhere’ ad.That same ad also highlights a second major type of fear â€" that robots will replace humans. A man watching a sporting event tells his friends, “in five years, robots will be able to do your job, and your job and your job,” while a robot sitting in the stands listens menacingly, as if affirming the assertion.Halo Top suggests humans’ only need is ice cream.Then, of course, t here’s the third trope, of the evil robot intent on harming people. A 2017 Halo Top ice cream ad, for example, functions as a 90-second horror movie, in which a robot force-feeds a woman ice cream, and then casually mentions that everyone she knows is dead.There are real threats to humans from robots and AI. Automation may eliminate millions of jobs â€" and it might create many others that don’t yet exist. Most likely, both will happen, as has happened throughout history: Elevator operators disappeared and social-media manager positions were created. The threat revolves around who will and who won’t be able to adjust or receive training to get the new jobs.But the world is a long way off from robots that portray a version of the “Frankenstein Complex,” Isaac Asimov’s phrase for the human fear that poorly designed mechanical creations might turn against humanity. Robots have no intentions â€" only instructions. They can act as though they have feelings, but experience no actual emotion. No one knows if robot emotion or sentience are even possible.Ads that instill fear of technology in humans can present an unrealistic and unhelpful mindset for adapting to the increasing presence of this technology in our lives â€" whether in criminal justice, health care or other areas. Fear can also distract people from properly understanding and planning for ways in which humans can continue to offer meaningful skills and insights beyond the abilities of any machine.Doom and gloomPringles are for everyone â€" sort of.“Sad robot” ads combat people’s fears about robots while simultaneously eliciting sympathy for them. In a 2019 Pringles ad, a smart device bemoans its lack of hands to stack chips or mouth to eat them. The robot’s physical limitations reassure viewers of human superiority, and yet the robot is advanced enough to have genuine feelings of sadness.Could a child do your taxes?Turbo Tax’s RoboChild perpetuated the myth of robot intelligence in tw o appearances during the 2019 Super Bowl. RoboChild, which looks like young Haley Joel Osment’s face stuck on a small robot body, wants to be an accountant, but encounters constant reminders that it’s in a human world. A person tells RoboChild it isn’t emotionally complex enough for the job, correctly distinguishing between the human and robot abilities to feel emotion â€" while sparking viewers’ sympathy for the robot.However, emotion isn’t necessary to fulfill most accounting functions: Artificial intelligence already performs a number of financial tasks, many of which require human interaction.Falling to piecesRobots may not make great insurance agents.The third category of advertising robots doesn’t evoke fear or sympathy, but rather ridicule. A 2018 State Farm ad, for instance, pokes fun at a rival agency that has begun using cheap robot agents instead of human ones. The employee robot is a mess, spurting both hydraulic fluid and gibberish. In “stupid robot” ads , robots have cognitive constraints, sometimes in addition to physical ones.These ads are at least somewhat realistic, as robots and AI have fundamental limitations â€" even the system that can beat an international Go champion isn’t much good at anything else. Even so, portraying robots as a collection of laughable, malfunctioning parts undermines the seriousness of their implications. Humans who are laughing at dumb machines may not think clearly or prepare actively for a future in which even limited robots and AI are key players.Amazon’s Super Bowl ad featuring Alexa fails initially seemed like a collection of “stupid robot” highlights. A collar that allows a dog to order an entire truckload of food reminds viewers of Alexas that interpreted TV news or casual conversations as directives to buy products.It rightly makes the point that no product is perfect â€" but it subtly demonstrates the power of Amazon’s technologies, which in the ad shut down an entire continental p ower grid by accident. The technology itself is portrayed as dysfunctional â€" and something over which we can all have a laugh. However, the failures illustrate that the flaws lie in human efforts of concept, design or programming. Laughing at the machines can distract people from that deeper insight, or from considering who should be responsible when automation-enabled disaster strikes.Commercials aren’t likely to encourage viewers to seek out legitimate information about new technologies. Their main job is to sell a product or service, not contribute to an informed society. But they need not perpetuate generalized and unrealistic fears. The more misdirection people absorb about robots and AI, the less capable they will be of understanding and managing the real implications of technological advances.Joelle Renstrom, Lecturer of Rhetoric, Boston UniversityThis article is republished from The Conversation under a Creative Commons license.

5 Ways to Know If a Companys Culture Suits You

5 Ways to Know If a Company's Culture Suits You 5 Ways to Know If a Company's Culture Suits You A company culture is the result of an organization’s dominant attitudes, behaviors, and values. A healthy one presents the advantages of employee satisfaction, retention and loyalty, a good and solid reputation for the organization, and increased productivity. So, if you’re a job hunter  looking for employment, this is a factor that you have to consider because it will play a huge part in how you develop as a worker, as well as how you cultivate your personal happiness. To understand a company’s culture, you need to do your homework. Gather information from various sources â€" the company’s website, an employee that works there, and other business organizations that it has partnered with. Recruitment professionals recommend visiting the company or using your lobby time for the job interview to observe. Also, for your interview, come prepared with questions that will allow you to learn more about how the company actually operates. From all the information you gather, you’ll get a good idea of what the company’s culture truly is. After establishing the company culture, you then have to determine if it’s a good fit for you. How do you do that? Here are five ways to know. 1. Ask yourself: What kind of work environment motivates me?   It’s different for everyone. Some prefer a quiet workplace where employees don’t interact much. Others want to work in a fancy office where everybody’s dressed professionally every day because a beautiful and sophisticated ambiance inspires them. The key here is to understand how you work to see if the company presents an atmosphere that’s beneficial for you. 2. Ask yourself: Will the company culture maximize my happiness? List your happiness triggers when working and see if they are met by the company’s work conditions and policies. For example, at BuzzFeed, company culture is very social and laidback. Employees can work in different areas of their headquarters. although they are assigned workspaces, they are provided the flexibility to get their work done while lying down on a couch in the lounge, the cafeteria, or the yard. This is greatly appreciated by artistic creators who tend to feel stifled in a highly structured work setting. Also, the company wants employees to work happily, so it provides free lunch on Mondays and Wednesdays (free bagels every Friday, too). Employees are happy that they can save money, time and energy. If the company culture meets your quirky personality and happiness triggers, it’s clearly a good match. 3. Ask yourself: Does the company’s culture align with my personal values or lifestyle? If you’re a religious person, do you think the operations of the company will compromise the values you uphold? Will you be asked to give up your day of worship in order to attend important work events? Do certain behaviors contradict your personal beliefs? Or, if you’re a family man with young kids, will the company culture of important after-work gatherings prevent you from spending time with your growing children? You know a company’s culture doesn’t match yours if you feel uncomfortable about multiple elements in a typical day’s work. 4. Listen to your gut. Your instincts will alert you if something’s amiss with the company culture. Don’t just shush it, but don’t yield to it right away, either. Instead, question what your gut is implying. This mere act will allow you to gain a broader perspective and make sense of how unsettled you feel. 5. Discuss the compatibility issue with someone who knows you really well. Seek out someone who knows you really well and ask their opinion on the matter. Often, they will have a well-rounded understanding of the situation. What they have to say may help you get a better grasp of the compatibility issue. Finding a company that’s a perfect fit for you is often a long process of trial and error. However, if you take the time to study a company’s culture, you’ll be able to discover clues that will indicate whether you’ll be able to function well in an organization or not.   A passionate recruiter with more than 12 years in the executive search industry, Payal Bhatia is an international headhunter and business partner for  RM Associates in the MENA region specializing in the FMCG, retail, telecom and engineering sectors.

4 Military Retirement Plans

4 Military Retirement Plans 4 Military Retirement Plans Congress has authorized four retired pay plans. Below you will find a brief explanation of each plan. Although each retirement plan is unique, the service dates that must be used in the retired pay computations remain the same. Primary service dates used include the Date of Initial Entry into Military Service (DIEMS) and Title 10, United States Code, Section 1405 service date (1405 service). For complete details, see Understanding Military Retirement Pay. Date of Initial Entry Into Military Service (DIEMS) is the initial date of acceptance of a  commission  or enlistment in any Reserve or Regular component of any United States Armed Force. It includes: Enlistment as a Reserve  member in the ROTC programEnlistment in any active components delayed entry/enlistment programEntrance as a cadet or midshipman at a service academyEntry into an academy preparatory school The DIEMS date is a fixed date and is not subject to adjustment because of a break in service and it is used to determine which of the retirement plans military members fall under. Blended Retirement System: Personnel Entering Active Duty After December 31, 2017 You get 40% of your base pay after 20 years. In addition, you get a bonus at 12 years of 2.5% of your annual base pay. Your multiplier for each year of service is 2%. You can continue to increase your retirement rate above 100%, which would be achieved at 40 years of service. You earn matching funds into your TSP account from the government. You cant draw your retirement until you are 60 to 65 years of age. You can roll it into a private retirement account. You can take your retirement money with you if you leave service prior to the 20-year mark. You also have a choice to join the Blended  Retirement System if you entered service between December 31, 2005, and January 1, 2018, or to remain enrolled in the CBS/REDUX system. CBS/REDUX: Personnel Entering Active Duty on or After 1 Aug 86 Until December 31, 2017 If a members DIEMS is on or after 1 Aug 86, retired pay is calculated by using the average of the members highest 36 months basic pay, times 2 ½ percent of the members years of service (based on the 1405 service date) minus a 1 percent reduction for every year of service less than 30 years. Retired pay for 20 years would be calculated at 40 percent. This reduction is restored permanently at age 62. This pay calculation is normally referred to as the High 36/40 Percent Plan. Here is the calculated example using the MSgt from the previous examples: 61.25% multiplier - 5.5% 55.75%$2531 (average basic pay) X 55.75% $1411 (estimated retired pay) With continued service, you add on to a maximum of 100% at 40 years of service.
