What it Was Actually Like to Be the Only Woman at My Company

What it Was Actually Like to Be the Only Woman at My CompanyWhat it Was Actually Like to Be the Only Woman at My CompanyLindsay Grizzard remembers the first time she discussed menstruation with her co-workers. It was about a year into her last job, as a front-end developer and designer with a small tech company of around 11 employees, of whom she was the only woman.I dont remember how we got onto the topic, but I said the word period in an offhand, not-even-talking-about-myself way, and it was just like all the air got sucked out of the room for a second. And then we moved on. I remember going home that night and talking to my friend So my company acknowledged the existence of periods today, and we all survived.This work culture was a stark difference from Hackbright Academy, the all-women coding bootcamp where Grizzard had trained before joining the tech startup, where she worked for around two years until taking a new job last summer. Recent estimates by the NCWIT suggest that wome n hold only around one in four computing jobs in the U.S., and its even worse among women of color, who represent single-digit percentages in the field. That means the overwhelming majority of women in tech are likely to find themselves on teams dominated by men. Frustratingly familiar issues like the gender pay gap and mora recent efforts, including the growing movement to curb sexual harassment, are characteristic of this underrepresentation.But every woman who finds herself alone among male co-workers has a different experience- with some ups, some downs, and more than a few iffy incidents in between. Heres what Grizzards was like, in her own words (condensed and lightly edited for clarity)Interviewing as the First WomanOn my first call with them as a job candidate, they mentioned how I would be really leading the charge as the woman on the team, and they were so excited to have a woman- and mentioned my gender like 10 times in that first kickoff call, which was definitely a red flag. But as a junior developer I was like, Please just give me a job. It felt like misguided enthusiasm, like their hearts were in the right place.So at the time I thought, That was a little weird, but okay, at least theyre trying. And it was kind of nice that they addressed the elephant in the room quickly Yes, youre going to be the only female here, and thats okay, and we acknowledge that, and were being intentional about it.But funnily, my gender didnt really ever come up again until a few months before I left the company. It was so upfront, but then it did kind of become gender-blind after that, which was a little confusing. The person I talked to in the beginning was open to talking about the gender imbalance, but everyone else at the company seemed really afraid to address it or just didnt want to.Fitting In (Up to a Point)After I started working there I became one of the guys, so to speak, which entailed just talking about video games and movies and Dungeons and Dragons- whi ch I can do because Im a nerdbut those were the only conversations they ever had. That was my biggest takeaway from working there that I could only expose about half of my personality.But the gender-blindness at first was really nice. After a while it became kind of annoying, but it was nice to just be able to focus on my job. I was never, ever hit on- and Ive had that at other companies no one ever made any weird jokes about my body or sexualized me at all.I remember there was this turning point when everyone started becoming more comfortable with me, after about six months of working there. There was one guy whose wife worked at Sephora, and makeup came up somehow at the lunch table, and I was like, Oh yeah, they have good lipstick there. And one of the guys started telling me about different types of lipstick, and how actually this one was better and actually he knows about lipstick. I remember looking at him like, you dont wear lipstick your wife is a designer at Sephora, but I dont think that gives you a lot of life experience with lipstick. It was just one of those conversations where I thought, This is what mansplaining feels like- okay, right.It got a little awkward, and luckily a few other people noticed, but no one stepped in- everyone kind of bit their tongue. When we switched topics, everyone jumped in enthusiastically to change the conversation back to video games.Signs of Bias Few Others Can SeeThis is how it is working as a woman on an all-male team You can never put your finger on exactly whether its the gender thing or whether its just a personal thing or whatever. For example, my tech lead would only ever Slack me. It was really hard to get him to come sit down next to me and help me, which is a really common thing to do in coding. But he would do that with everyone else. At first I didnt really notice it, but after six months, it was like every time, even if I would ask him to come pair-program with me for a little while, it would be like pu lling teeth. And we sat maybe five feet apart.Another funny thing was that anytime anyone else came into the office- like anyones wife or girlfriend- the first thing they would say is, Oh look This is the one female Which was interesting because that acknowledgment was coming mostly from women. I never took offense to it, but it would call it out for a second and the whole room would flinch, then let out a sigh of relief like, Are we okay? Okay, we can keep going.Another junior developer and I used to get lunch together. He was kind of my ally at work, and he also sensed the general weirdness at work he did notice the lipstick conversation because that one was just so blatant and out there. But its kind of difficult to talk to male co-workers about this stuff, even if they are your really good friend, because theyre just like, Oh, I dont know, I dont think thats a thingmaybe.Lessons LearnedI really think the tipping point is women in leadership. If I had anyone at a higher rank who was female that I couldve talked to about some of this stuff, it wouldve been much less of a problem. At my new company, I have so many women leaders I can talk to, and it makes such a big difference. And, its also important to just talk about gender dynamics in general Thats why Im okay with doing this interview.I work at gout now, which is a fintech company. Their engineering teams gender ratio is not 50/50 perfect, but its something they recognize and have a team working on it. They actually put effort into their diversity and inclusion programs, which I really like. But the biggest thing I noticed was that I was interviewed by all but one woman, out of I think 12 different people I talked to. That was huge to me.This article was originally published on Fast Company. It has been adapted here with permission.

3 simple steps you can take to boost employee morale

3 simple steps you can take to boost employee morale3 simple steps you can take to boost employee moraleLow Staff Morale is one of the most common issues leaders report that they struggle with. We need help, one manager told me. People are negative, complaining, and dont feel like the management cares about anything but getting the work done. And, to be honest, thats how they have been treated. We need to turn things around.Practical steps to takeHere are three action steps you can take to improve (your own and) others morale1. Conduct a Self-AssessmentAsk yourself What am I doing that isnt helpful in creating a positive workplace?This could include bothactions(complaining about a co-worker to aelendher colleague) andattitudes(harboring anger and grudges for past offenses). Consider your response carefully. See if any of the attributes below might apply to you.Grumbling, complainingRarely complimentHarbor anger/grudgeIrritabilityQuick to blame/find faultSay one thing, but do anotherQ uick temperGossipingWithhold informationImpatientSee coworkers as a work unit vs a partieHave an its their problem attitudeDont beat yourself up if you have done any of these things (they are a common response to stress), but do recognize they may be a sign that you need to take some time to recharge and re-evaluate the image you would like to project about yourself.2. Dont contribute to the negativityThe second proactive step you can take is toactively disengage from participating in negative interactions. This can simply mean that you stop complaining. (Remember the saying, If you cant say anything positive, dont say anything at all?)Or, if a group discussion turns negative, remove yourself from the situation. You dont have to say anything, or call them out. Just quietly excuse yourself and dont contribute. Your leaving will send a glaubenszeugnis, and may lead to a follow-up discussion with one of the team members. Someone may say, I noticed you left when we starting griping abou t managements lack of communication. A good response might be, Yes, Ive decided to try to not add fuel to the fire. Ive found making negative comments doesnt really help.3. Begin to communicate positive messages to othersActively demonstrating positive communicationis the third simple step we each can take. Sometimes, this can be as simple as saying, Wasnt the sunset beautiful last night? Or, Im sure thankful for air conditioning. Positive comments tend to dampen and throw water on a smoldering, negative environment.A second way to be positive is to share your appreciation for your teammates and the work they do. A simple thanks can be meaningful, especially if its specific. Something like, Jen, thanks for getting your paperwork to me on time. That will help me get the information together for the managers meeting without having to rush at the last minute. This can be an effective way to soften up those colleagues who seem fairly hardened and angry- though, it may take some time.NOT just making employees feel goodFor managers and supervisors, a key point to understand is thatcommunicating appreciation isnt just about making people feel good.Rather, organizations function better when employees (and managers) feel valued. Conversely, when employees dont feel appreciated, bad results followHigher rates of tardiness and absenteeismIncreased incidence of not following policies and proceduresMore internal conflict and stress among team membersDecrease in productivity and quality of workHigher turnover rate - people dont continue with the company as longLower client satisfaction ratings.All of these results contribute to higher costs for organizations. Research has shown that companies with high levels of staff who feel appreciated are 18% more productive and 22% more profitable than companies with staff who report low levels of feeling appreciated. In fact, finding and training new employees is one of the most expensive non-productive costs to businesses.Foundation al fact Not everyone feels appreciated in the same wayEmployees have different languages of appreciation (and unique actions within each language.) Believe it or not, not everyone likes verbal praise. Some people dont trust words while others believe actions speak louder than words. For some, time together is the most important message you can send. We have identified5 Languages of Appreciation in the Workplace(see the chart below).It can be difficult to determine which of the five languages of appreciation an employee prefers. As a result, we created anonline instrumentthat identifies team members primary and secondary languages of appreciation, and allows them to specify the unique actions important to them.When an employees preferred language of appreciation and specific action that is meaningful to them are used, we can hit the target and help them feel genuinely appreciated.Good things happen when employees feel appreciatedStaff moralecanbe improved by helping team members feel truly valued. The key is to communicateauthenticappreciation in the ways that are meaningful to each team member. Over time, as leaders and colleagues learn to effectively communicate appreciation to each another, people begin to value others andfeelvalued for the contributions they make, which in turn increases their motivation and morale.This article originally appeared on Appreciation at Work.

Infrared Quantum Dots Provide Stunning Images

Infrared Quantum Dots Provide Stunning namens Infrared Quantum Dots Provide Stunning Images Infrared Quantum Dots Provide Stunning ImagesMost researchers use near infrared light (wavelengths between 700 and 900 nanometers) for in vivo imaging within the body. Shortwave infrared light (SWIR) (1,000 to 2,000 nanometers) has the potential to provide even better results, because body tissues are more transparent at that wavelength. SWIR advantages over the visible and near-infrared regions include less autofluorescence, low light absorption by blood and tissue, and reduced scattering.The lack of bright, stable, and high-quality SWIR emitters/markers has prevented the general adoption of SWIR imaging by biomedical researchers. Now, however, a team of researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has discovered a way to make nanoscale particles that can be injected into the body, where they emit SWIR in targeted areas. These quantum dots provide researchers with remarkably detai led images of internal body structures and processes.We took advantage of a special property of short-wave infrared light, which is essentially the ability to give a clear, bright signal emitted from the targeted structure that is not blocked or scattered by the surrounding tissues, says research scientist Oliver Bruns, a member of the MIT research team. This allows us to view biological processes in living, moving animals with great clarity and detail.SWIR quantum dot samples. Image MITA Key Semiconductor MaterialBruns and his team developed a class of high-quality SWIR-emissive indium-arsenide-based quantum dots, which can be modified for various imaging applications. They exhibit narrow and size-tunable emission and a dramatically higher emission quantum yield compared to other SWIR probes. These quantum-dot nanocrystals emit light at a specific frequency that can be precisely tuned by controlling the exact size and composition of the particles.The MIT team injected the quantum d ots into mice to determine the metabolic turnover rates of lipoproteins in several organs, simultaneously and in real time. They also measured heartbeat and breathing rates in awake and unrestrained animals, resulting in a detailed 3D quantitative flow map of the mouse brain vasculature.The quantum dots emitted short-wave infrared frequencies that were bright enough to be easily detected through the surrounding skin and muscle tissues. In fact, the dots were so bright their emissions were captured with very short exposure times.Key to this success welches a newly developed camera that is highly sensitive to short wave infrared light, making it possible to produce not just single images but videos that capture details of motion, such as the flow of blood, making it possible to distinguish between veins and arteries.Bruns was impressed by the combination of deep penetration, high spatial resolution, multi-color imaging, and fast acquisition speed.We could track the flow in each and ev ery capillary, at super-high speed, he says. This allowed the quantitative measure of flow at very high resolution, over large areas.Further, Bruns notes, this was accomplished while the mice were awake and moving, as opposed to previous methods that required them to be anesthetized.Future PotentialThis new imaging system could become a standard approach in the future for making detailed images of internal body structures, such as the fine networks of blood vessels.We are still stunned by the quality of the images we can take using short wave infrared emitters, says Bruns. It is amazing to get such a clear look at dynamic biological processes.Initial applications for this system would be preclinical research in animals, since the compounds contain some materials that are unlikely to be approved for human use in the meantime, Bruns and his team are developing versions of the quantum dots that will be safer for humans.Once approved, future applications could include using quantum dots to study how blood flow patterns in a tumor change as the tumor develops, possibly providing insights into new ways to monitor disease progression and determine the efficacy of drug treatments.Our vision is that 5 to 10 years from now, SWIR imaging systems will be a standard for preclinical and clinical optical imaging, says Bruns. Hopefully every research center and every major clinic will have one.Mark Crawford is an independent writer. For Further Discussion We are still stunned by the quality of the images we can take using short wave infrared emitters. It is amazing to get such a clear look at dynamic biological processes.

Personal Experience of MEPS in New Orleans

Personal Experience of MEPS in New OrleansPersonal Experience of MEPS in New OrleansThis is a story about Dave Brown and his journey through the Military Entrance Processing Station, joining the Delayed Entry Program, then enlisting and heading to boot camp. The Hotel The recruits arrived at the Double Tree Hotel in New Orleans around 700 PM that night. Armed with a backpack containing an information packet and a change of clothes, they enter the lobby and approach the information desk. The lady behind the counter sent me to abedrngnisher desk for MEPS check-ins. The man behind the asked for personennames and handed clipboards with a form on it. Read everything and sign at the bottom. The rules are simple that night. Dont leave the hotel, be in your room by 10, dont drink, dont do drugs, dont cause trouble. You will be given a room key and be told to sit in a designated area with other recruits and wait for a briefing prior to getting to go to your room. mora RULES You are permit ted only on your own floor, the lobby area, the dining area, the exercise area, and the movie area. A movie plays every 3 hours. If you leave those areas, if you are not wearing proper attire in the exercise area, if you behave inappropriately, or wear anything inappropriate, this includes cutoffs, white T-shirts, obscene material, midriffs, flip-flops or tanktops, you will not go to MEPS. Dinner is served until 1000 PM. It is a buffet. If you do not eat by 1000 PM, you will not eat. Wake-up call is at 315 AM. Breakfast is served at 415 AM sharp. The bus leaves at 445 sharp. If you have not eaten by 445, you will not eat. If you are not on the bus by 445, you will need to find another way to get to the MEPS, because I will not help you. You must return your room key by 415 AM. If you do not, you will not go to MEPS. Regarding the hotel bring a swimming suit and workout clothes. You may have considerable time on your hands. Its a lot more fun swimming than staring at the TV. After 3 0 minutes of killing time, my roommate entered, introduced himself and sat on his bed. You will get to meet other recruits for military while at dinner and hanging out in the exercise room or pool. You will landsee people seeking to serve all branches of the military with all types of reasons why they decided to serve. Soon after nervously chatting about the decisions made, most will spend the night tossing and turning. But try to get some sleep because 315 would be here before you know it. Blink. It arrived. The MEPS The drive was quiet (as are most roads at 445 AM in the rain). Within 30 minutes were were at the New Orleans MEPS facility / Naval Support Academy. What followed was straight out of a movie. The bus was unloading in two straight lines (one of which I joined) under an awning outside of the facility. It was still very dark, thunder rumbling overhead, rain coming down. When you enter the MEPS facility, you will be divided up by branch and sent to your liaison Store your bags in the marked closet The entrance will remind you of an airport terminal. There are several rows of seating, a long desk, and lots or uniformed personnel moving to and fro. Air Force here,Marine Corpshere, Army here and Navy here announced another, pointing out the different offices. Upon entrance, a line formed, where your packets are collected and your names are called. You will be given name tags to put on your shirts, and sent to another line at the Control Desk in the main lobby we entered from. This line was quite long and slowly moving into a room. The last handful of people entered and took seats, and a tall man in camouflage entered and stepped behind the podium. Good morning. I am _________. Welcome to the New Orleans MEPS. He then proceeded to cover the rules and regulations of the facility in detail. There is a snack room with an arcade inside. It is there as a privilege. You are expected to keep it clean. If we find trash on the floor, it will be locked and your on ly snacks will consist of water from a fountain. He then covered Fraudulent Enlistment. You will answer many questions and fill out many forms. If you lie to anyone or on anything, it will be consideredFraudulent Enlistmentand you will be subject to two years in prison and dishonorable discharge. Do not do it. The next person to enter the room was a nurse. She then walked us through every question of the medical form. She also covered thePrivacy Act. Do not share any medical information with anyone here unless he is a doctor. Do not let anyone examine your records. The ASVAB She soon returned, and you finish filling out the comprehensive paperwork. You will likely take the ASVAB if you have not taken it officially yet. You also will take a quick breathalyzer test. The test is long and grueling. It is divided into around a dozen categories of various length, type, and difficulty. (GUIDE NOTE SeeABCs of the ASVAB, for more information). The Medical Exam After completing the te st, you will get your blood taken. After blood is drawn, you then give a urine sample. You will have an observer in the bathroom to make sure you actually do use your own urine. Next up was the blood pressure test then the eye exam. The next station was the dreaded physical. The doctor gives a cursory evaluation for tattoos or piercings. Then you will be instructed to touch our toes to examine the spine for scoliosis. Then, you will be instructed to do various balance and motor skills tests. Then duck walk. Finally, you will have a visual acuity test, where we followed the doctors fingers with our eyes, and he turned out the light and checked out pupils. Air Force people also had to pop their ears using the valsalva method. The whole process lasted 20 minutes at the most. Then, a large screen was put up and we had to individually meet with the doctor. You will have to Turn your head and cough and bend over and let him check for any Hemorrhoids. Of course it is awkward, but everybody has to do it. You will then get dressed and line up for the hearing test then you are off to the personal interview with the doctor. This is where the doctor reviews your record with you and can disqualify you on the spot depending on your answers. The doctor calls you in, and this meeting starts with a literacy test and you will have to read a paragraph. He then asks about the yes questions on the medical form. You will be given your folder, and will take your branch and you will likely be done IF you passed everything. GUIDE NOTE If joining the Reserves,the job selection processis done through the Recruiter. If you are enlistingon active duty,the MEPS experiencewould have includedjob selection, aSecurity Interview, and (likely) enlistment in theDelayed Entry Program(DEP). Additionally, some took the ASVAB and physical on the same day. At most MEPS facilities, today, the ASVAB is performed on the afternoon of arrival, and the medical/job selection process is accomplished on the fo llowing day. Some final thoughts on MEPS - Dont expect much sleep the night before. - Eat your breakfast. - Its not that bad, and if you pay attention you wont have any problems. - Keep it together during the ASVAB. Yes its long. Yes its difficult. Pace yourself and do your best. - Be honest in your medical background. If you have a potentially disqualifying problem, get all the documentation you can squeeze from your doctor, and get aRECENT examination. Have your verbal medical description ready keep it concise and detailed, and keep it accurate. Let the facts speak for themselves. The doctors are very reasonable. I hope you find this helpful Good luck in your MEPS experiences

Gender diversity provides huge benefits in the workplace. pWhile some industries have made significant advancements in gender diversity, som e industries lag further behind... and the construction industry is well-known for being in the latter category. If someone says, construction workers, youll likely picture a group of men in yellow hard hats analyzing an architects plans or laying bricks on top of a scaffold. And men at work signs only help to reinforce this image.pThis stereotype is rooted in reality. When was the brde time you actually spotted a woman on a construction site? Or hired a female plumber or carpenter? Your answer is most likely never. In fact, the Bureau of Labor Statisticsreports that only 3.4% of the total of 8.3 million construction employees are women.pBut the construction industry has a lot mora to offer than steel-toed boots and hard hats, and it needs women to help advance the industry in this era of rapid change. Here are 5 reasons why women joining the workforce or looking to make a pivot should consider a career in construction.h21. Fuel Innovation/h2pNot only is diversity the socially and m orally right thing to do, but it is also actually an excellent business strategy. pResearch presented in the Harvard Business Reviewshows that diverse teams develop more innovative ideas. This is further supported by a study conducted by Gallupon the performance of gender-diverse teams versus single-gender teams, which found that the difference in backgrounds and perspectives led to better business performance and problem-solving. h22. Capitalize on Demand/h2pThe construction industry is currently experiencing a labor shortage. The industry itself is booming and projected to be one of the fastest-growing industries, with total spending projected to exceed $1.45 trillion in 2023/a. However, most construction companies are unable to meet the rising demand. pAccording to the Associated General Contractors of America/a, more than 80% of contractors are experiencing difficulties filling hourly craft positions that represent the bulk of the construction workforce.pAnd demand isnt limited to individual contributor roles. Given the industry boom, there are a number of open stable and high-paying roles (any project managers out there?) waiting for the right candidateh23. Leadership Opportunities/h2pAccording to the Bureau of Labor Statistics/a, women compose only 7.7% of the total 1 million managerial positions in construction.br/pBut given the highly collaborative nature of construction work, more women in leadership roles would help drive innovation and enhance productivity.Furthermore, as a woman in construction in a leadership position, youd have the unique opportunity to drive change for the industry and make it a more attractive option for other women.h24. High-Income Potential/h2pSalaries for many skilled positions in construction are on the rise, making a construction career a prime choice for women looking for a high-paying job,pThe 2018 Construction Craft Salary Surveyconducted by the National Center for Construction Education and Research revealed that salar ies for many skilled craft areas are increasing. Project managers and project supervisors topped the list at $92,523 and $88,355, respectively. The next set of highest-paying jobs include those of combo welders ($71,067), instrumentation technicians ($70,080), pipe welders ($69,222), power line workers ($68,262) and industrial electricians ($67,269). Of the 32 categories of workers in the survey, 19 positions earned an average salary of $60,000 or higher.h25. Sense of accomplishment/h2p The construction industry can give employees a unique sense of achievement. Yes, the job is stressful and the work can be demanding, but nothing beats the feeling of being able to build something from the ground up. pHow many professionals in other industries can point at a school, a hospital, or a skyscraper and say I helped build that?pThe construction industry has a long way to go in combating gender bias and supporting women in the workforce, but given the current demand for workers, theres no be tter time to pick up a sledgehammer (figurative or literal) and smash the gender stereotypes plaguing the construction industry.

Brene Browns advice on stop leading from control and compliance

Brene Browns advice on stop leading from control and complianceBrene Browns advice on stop leading from control and complianceBad bosses, whetzu sich of leid they intend to do it, are ineffective leaders who rule through fear and power. They are sticklers about getting it done their way. They do not seek input from their colleagues. Tasks are done because they say so, not because of any higher purpose to the teams mission. This management style builds confusion and resentment from colleagues who work in fear of getting it wrong.But in a new excerpt for her book Dare to Lead,social scientist Dr. Bren Brown argues that there is a better way. Through her years of research on the psychology of shame and the power of vulnerability, she has made a career out of teaching us how to rewrite the untrue stories we tell ourselves. For manager to be better leaders, they need to learn how to cultivate commitment and shared purpose through their actions. Heres how Brown suggests it can be doneHow t o signal shared purpose in your actionsWhen leaders are working under an ideology of compliance and control, work is reduced to tasks devoid of context. These command-and-control bosses motivate their employees through the the fear of getting caught doing it wrong, so that employees worry more about getting it done exactly how the boss wants it, than about how this task fits into the wider mission. Employees abdicate any autonomy they have.Brown uses an example from her own job as an example of this compliant behavior.Without giving clear direction about how she wanted her colleagues Murdoch and Barrett to facilitate a workshop, Brown said she ends up disappointed with the result. Next time, she spells out what she wants her colleagues to do, and her colleague answers,Sure. What does done look like?This question of what does done look like? is an improvement from no communication about expectations over work, but Brown says the results get better when the question becomes Lets paint done. That way, both parties feel welcome to give input about any ideas or concerns they have about a problem.It unearths stealth expectations and unsaid intentions, and it gives the people who are charged with the task tons of color and context. It fosters curiosity, learning, collaboration, reality-checking, and ultimately success, Brown said. We want people to share our commitment to purpose and mission, not to comply because theyre afraid not to. Thats exhausting and unsustainable for everyone.By inviting employees input into a decision, it reminds employees and employers that they are not enemies on opposite sides they are colleagues who have a shared purpose. As leadership expert Randy Conley once told Ladders, being transparent and open about collaboration helps employees build trust with one anotherIf you involve your team in not just hiring decisions, but also in the strategies youre developing as a team, the action plans youre focused on, it creates much more ownership. T heyre invested in it. They will be less likely to work against your plans if theyve had a hand informing them.

The 2013 Vault Law 100 Rankings Are Here!

The 2013 Vault Law 100 Rankings Are HereThe 2013 Vault Law 100 Rankings Are HereDrum roll, pleaseIts the moment youve been waiting for the 2013 Vault Law 100 is here This year almost 17,000 associates took our survey, and their unequivocal view is that Wachtell is still on top- for the tenth year in a row.Lets take a look at the rest of the top tenWachtell Lipton Rosen KatzCravath, Swaine MooreSkadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher FlomSullivan CromwellDavis Polk WardwellWeil, Gotshal MangesSimpson Thacher BartlettCleary Gottlieb Steen HamiltonKirkland EllisLatham WatkinsCheck out the full rankings here2013 Vault Law 100This year saw more movement within the top ten than in years past. Skadden slipped past Sullivan Cromwell to take the number three spot Weil and Simpson swapped places in the 6 and 7 positions and Latham bumped its way back into the top ten, sending Covington Burling to 11. As many of you will remember, Latham was a top ten mainstay until 2010, when associates resp onded to the firms layoffs by sending it from 7 to 17. It seems like all is forgiven, however, as the firm rejoined the top ten this year. Our survey respondents proclaimed that Latham is back as top dog, citing its great culture and laid-back vibe.Hogan Lovells also saw a notable jump, from 51 in 2012 to 41 this year. Before its merger with London-based Lovells, Hogan Hartson was ranked 28. Given the failed firm mergers weve seen lately, its understandable that associates were cynical about the newly combined firms outlook. But Hogan Lovells seems like an example of a merger gone right- this years ten-spot jump shows that they are on the upswing and receiving positive feedback from our respondents.Baker Hostetler also ascended the ranks significantly, going from 77 to 68, thanks in no small part to its front-page role in the Madoff bankruptcy.One firm that is missing from the rankings this year is, of course, Dewey LeBoeuf. Ranked 37 brde year, the firm collapsed this year and re cently filed for bankruptcy.Three firms that were unranked last year joined the Vault Law 100- Fenwick West at 94, Wiley Rein at 97 and Kasowitz, Benson, Torres Friedman at 98. Falling out of the top 100 were Troutman Sanders (ranked 93 in 2012), Littler Mendelson (previously ranked 97), Kilpatrick Townsend Stockton (previously ranked 98), Kelley Drye (previously ranked 99) and Foley Hoag (previously ranked 100).Vault will be releasing the rest of its 2013 Rankings- Best in Practice, Best in Region, Best to Work For and Diversity Rankings- over the coming weeks.

Understanding the Solution Sales Process

Understanding the Solution Sales Process Understanding the Solution Sales Process It seems that many sales writers, trainers, and self-proclaimed sales gurus suggest that solution sales are the best method to increase your sales, gross profit, and your income. Many suggest that learning how to sell in the solutions sales style is cutting edge and replaces any and all other sales styles. The problem with this thinking is that solution sales is nothing new and is one of the oldest styles of sales ever invented. Put simply, solution sales is when a professional sells (or tries to sell) a product or service that satisfies a customers need. On the surface, solution sales are when you sell anything except something purely frivolous. The Steps Involved in Solution Sales Since solution sales demand a customers need, the first step involved in solution sales is to either identify, uncover or create a need for your customer. Identifying a customer need essentially entails determining what exact need your customer has as it relates to your products ability to solve the need. Often, your customers need may not be what they believe it to be. Your job is to help the customer identify their true need or needs. Uncovering a customers needs involves digging deep, asking questions and doing some research. For the most part, uncovered needs are not recognized as being needs by a customer, either due to them not being aware that the need exists or not recognizing something as being a need. Another type of need that may need to be uncovered is one that your customer does not want to be revealed. Youll know when youve stumbled upon a need that your customer does not want to be uncovered when you experience resistance, animosity or even anger. Creating a need takes talent, skill and a high level of confidence. Creating a need is just what it sounds like: Convincing your customer that they need something that, unless for your convincing, would not be seen by the customer as a need at all. Bringing the Solution to the Sale Identifying, uncovering or creating needs is useless unless you as a sales professional bring a solution to the customers needs. Proposing a solution is what solution sales is all about. If you were to propose a solution to a customer who did not have the need that your product solves, then your proposed solution would not be a solution at all. Your proposal must solve the needs of your customer for it to be seen as a solution. The Problem With Solution Sales In the days before the Internet, customers relied on sales professionals to inform them of solutions to their needs. In most cases, a business manager or owner didnt have the resources to know of proven ways or processes to solve business concerns. But with the overwhelming majority of businesses having Internet access, managers and owners are just a few mouse clicks away from learning proven or suggested methods to overcome both known and unknown challenges. A sales professional who focuses solely on finding, uncovering or creating a need that can be solved by a product or service they sell is assuming that their customer is not only fully unaware of the problem but doesnt realize that the problem can be solved and that there are solutions for the problem. Customers are significantly more informed when it comes to learning about industry-specific best practices and are highly motivated by their competition to improve their business processes. What this means for the solution sales professional is that their customers are already aware of the problem, the solution, and the options. So unless you market a very unique solution, relying on the traditional solution sales approach will create very hard to overcome challenges in your sales career.

Your Future Is in the (Business) Cards

Your Future Is in the (Business) Cards Your Future Is in the (Business) Cards According to a Microsoft study, a goldfish now has a longer attention span than you do. Hey, over here - theres more! Microsoft found that the average humans attention span is now eight seconds, down from 12 seconds in 2000. The goldfish clocks in at nine seconds. Why does Microsoft care, and why should you? Because shorter attention spans affect concentration, comprehension, reading, advertising, and interpersonal interactions. Given how short the average persons attention span is - and that includes hiring managers and recruiters - how can you become a memorable candidate? Its actually quite easy: Leave behind a business card. The practice of exchanging business cards seems to have originated in China in the 15th century, according to some sources. The practice has evolved since then, but theres a reason its still with us all these centuries later. Having a card to present while networking accomplishes several things: It shows that youre prepared. Youre not fumbling around for a pen and scrap of paper on which to scrawl your contact info. It presents the important information you want a person to know, such as how to contact you and how to find out more about you. It demonstrates respect for the tradition of reciprocating the exchange of cards. Avoid that uncomfortable moment when someone gives you a gift and you dont have one for them! Its not enough to simply have a business card; you want something that presents the best of you. A few guidelines on what makes a great card: Provide only necessary information so the card is not cluttered and doesnt confuse the reader. Name, one phone number, one email address, maybe a mailing address, maybe a LinkedIn URL (not Facebook!), and a personal website, if you have one. Select a simple theme/colors/font combination that reflects your personality but looks professional. Your business card should be easy to read, and card scanners should be able to parse it. A fancy script and/or tiny typeface are red flags about your judgment. Give yourself a title, like Sales Consultant, Customer Service Specialist, Digital Marketer - something memorable and realistic. Unless youre in a really creative field, dont get cutesy. No one likes a Chief Thinking Officer, Creative Guru, or Rainmaker Extraordinaire. Utilize the back of the card for a few lines about your accomplishments or qualifications, such as Masters degree in education, Certified in C++, or Proficient in Google Analytics. Leave at least the top half of the cards back empty so the person has space to write notes. Remember: Receiving another persons card is an invitation to follow up with them. Duck into another room and make notes of everything you can remember about your conversation on the back of the card. This may include information like a spouses name, a reminder to send an article of interest, inside information about their company, projects theyre working on, or next steps for following up. You are an outsider trying to get inside. Thats what networking is all about. The goal is for the recipient to remember you weeks and months later. You want them to think of you when they have a vacancy or hear about one before its posted. You are continuing a 400-year tradition of introductions and etiquette, so carry the cards in a decent case. Resist the temptation to use a binder clip or rubber band. You may make a good first impression, but a business card leaves a lasting impression. Thats how you become memorable. Ferris Kaplan is founder of Best of You Resumes.

15 signs someone in the office is out to get you

15 signs someone in the office is out to get you 15 signs someone in the office is out to get you The office work week is hard. But when someone at work is out to get you, every day is even more difficult. Is someone out to get you? Or are you just being paranoid? Is there any difference? Here are 15 signs to help you figure it out.1. Have you noticed that your cube is a little unsteady?That your cube walls (and your walls alone) are covered in something resembling burlap that rips at your clothes like Velcro? Your cubicle walls were obviously designed to collapse on you Indiana Jones style without warning. The person who designed your office space looks innocent enough with their samples of fabric and laminate. But those cube walls may have been set up on a booby track system designed to crush you on a random Tuesday. The walls may quite literally close in on you. Remote work is the only safe zone.2. Are your work plans are being sabotaged?If you are sent to visit Bill in Accounting and once you get there, no one knows who that is and even worse, your accounting services are out sourced or in a different building; someone is out to get you. While you are gone on this wild Bill chase, your lunch disappears and Susan gets the promotion. Bill you once, shame on Bill. Bill you twice, shame on you.3. Are people in the office planting ideas in your head?When they say the company is going under and your job is in jeopardy, don’t believe them. You will know for sure as new employees arrive and your furniture is taken to auction. Until then, hang on. Believe no one. Even news organizations reporting massive stock drops and your CEO being indicted are in on the lies.4. Who is the chirpy woman who brings around celebration cards while asking for money and your signature?Watch out for that woman. When you just want her to leave your office, she will slip you a sympathy card and tell you to sing “Happy Birthday!” She may also be secretly pocketing the money and making you look cheap as well as insensitive.5. Is there a secret microphone by the water cooler?This is the place you should be the most careful. It is easy to plant a microphone where everyone gathers. Your coworkers may actually be a double agent spiriting away secrets once a week with that empty water bottle.6. Why is it that around 3:00 PM, you feel your eyes getting heavy?Everyone says that is because you ate four Snickers bars and drank three Cokes at lunch. What do they know? No one knows for sure that sleeping gases aren’t being released through the A/C vents at 3:00 PM to reduce your productivity. No one knows if someone slipped an Ambien in your third Coke.7. Are the clocks in the office set to the correct time?Do not rely on office clocks. Or time clocks. For obvious reasons. Everyone else leaves early. Everyone else is still getting paid for a full eight hours. You might be able to count on the town square clock but only until time travelers destroy it with lightning.8. Why does the food you place in the office refrigerator disappear almost immediately?Avoid this refrig erator all costs. Keep any food on your person at all times. In a fanny pack if necessary. Add an alarm to your lunch bag.9. The entire office does not have the third Monday in October off.10. Why does your boss know when exactly when you don’t have the answer?Ever noticed that if you don’t know the answer in an important meeting, your boss will call on you expecting you to have a PowerPoint and full financial report to answer his questions?11. Why does no one ever poop at the office?They are obviously all cyborgs. Or everyone has had a colostomy. Examine all suspect Snickers bars closely.12. It is not called Taco Wednesday.Taco Wednesday is a cruel joke when you don’t bring your lunch because you think there will be tacos in the office conference room.13. Are the Help Desk guys are only there to help themselves to your files?If Word has been updated and you can’t remember your password, someone has accessed your files without asking.14. “Bring your kid to work day” is j ust another way to bring spies to the office.That cute kid? They are taking notes in their composition notebook to share with your boss. They are also stealing the good stuff from the candy jar on your desk.15. Is the pigeon on the roof a company carrier pigeon that sends reports on your productivity to headquarters three times a day?Come to think of it: it may even be Susan’s pet pigeon. You signed a birthday card for the pigeon and donated $5 for pigeon cake. The pigeon must be dealt with. After you prop up your cube with 2×4’s. And stick your sandwich down your pants.This satire piece first appeared on Cooper Review.

69% of employees waste 1 month a year on workplace apps

69% of employees waste 1 month a year on workplace apps 69% of employees waste 1 month a year on workplace apps New research from RingCentral, which supplies  global enterprise cloud communications and collaboration solutions, shows that 69% of employees report spending up to one hour daily going back and forth between apps, which is up to a whopping 32 days annually.CITE Research, who gathered the data on behalf of RingCentral, surveyed 2,000 knowledge workers in the US, Australia and the UK. Here are some of the findings that stood out.Workers find it difficult to navigate too many appsThe research showed what “apps” employees most use at work, with 74% using email, 56% using office programs, 33% using file sharing, 30% using social media, 21% taking part in video conferencing and more.Thirty-one percent of respondents admitted they’ve “lost their train of thought while navigating between apps” and 66% are in a favor of “a single platform for all their communications.” Among the reasons why people think “an integrated approach” would be helpful were: “time savings” at 5 4%, “increased organization” at 52% and “increased productivity” at 51%.While 54% of respondents think AI will take employees’ spots in the workforce in the days to come, 22% think this process has already started.So how many “communications apps” are workers using, and how often - 50% use four or more and 68% percent go “between apps up to 10 times an hour.”Riadh Dridi, CMO of RingCentral, commented on the research in a statement:“Today’s workforce is under siege by a flood of communications apps. More than ever, our attention is scattered across a wide array of different apps and communications channels…These apps are meant to bolster our productivity, but managing myriad apps is proving difficult- with serious repercussions for businesses. This new research reveals workers demand a unified experience that brings together all modes of communications into a single platform that promotes better collaboration and seamlessly integrates with their other busines s applications.”What people would rather be doing than wading through appsA staggering 53% of workers said they find having to “navigate between apps” more annoying working on “household chores,” while 52% would rather pay off their bills, 50% would rather attempt to lose weight, and 46% would rather be “dealing with an insurance company.”Employees age 45 and up chose email as their most preferred single method of communication (51%), while 43% of those ages 18-44 (millennials and Gen Xers) “are most likely to use team messaging,” and are “more likely to use it 46 to 60 minutes a day.”As it turns out, even the people at the top of the corporate ladder are having a tough time. While 80% of C-suite leaders think “their communications volume” is “very or somewhat challenging,” the report says that people at this level are “most likely to have considered quitting (9 percent) or lashed out at family (11 percent) no thanks to their flood of communications.â €

10 Job Search Tips for Older Job Seekers

10 Job Search Tips for Older Job Seekers 10 Job Search Tips for Older Job Seekers As the old saying goes, with age comes experience.  In the case of individuals in the workplace, this experience can often be invaluable to companies in need of someone with advanced technical, professional or simply life skills.  This experience, however, can often be a double-edged sword if you’re a job seeker over 50 looking to make a career move. According to research, older workers can often be perceived as too experienced, priced out of the market due to their salary expectations, or even as having fewer relevant soft skills with today’s focus on modern technology in the workspace.  With that being said, we’ve got 10 job search tips for older job seekers that will help you overcome any hurdles related to making that career switch later in life: Get Rid of Resume Dates Whether you have 10 years or 30 years of experience in your field, candidates with advanced employment history should delete references to dates from their resumes.  Not only is this information less relevant as you progress, it can also date you creating awkward HR moments for those looking to avoid any claims of age discrimination in hiring. Limit the Amount of Experience You Display If you’re over 50 you most likely have a number of years worth of job experience.  While all of this together is valuable to any potential new employer, the older the information the less relevant to your current position.  Display only 10-15 years of experience and bring the rest up in your interview or mention it briefly in a cover letter or objective statement. Consider a Functional Format for Your Resume Traditional resume formatting may work well for those with little experience, but if you’re carrying around a few years of positions a functional format may be the better bet.  A functional resume lists out key skill areas along with major accomplishments and an abbreviated list of prior positions. To read more about the difference between resume types, be sure to peruse our blog topic on the Three Main Types of Resumes. Fill in the Education Gaps Noticing that you have a few skill gaps in your resume?  Older job seekers may want to spruce up their knowledge set in order to be competitive with more recent graduates.  Online courses in computer technology or other position-specific certifications are great for helping to fill in the gaps and polish up an experience-packed resume. Include Accomplishments Rather than listing out individual responsibilities in your prior positions, consider including major accomplishments of your prior roles.  It’s presumed that you have advance managerial or other skills relevant to your position after numerous years. List the items that set you apart based on what you’ve gotten done to make a bigger impact on potential employers. Keep an Open Mind Hiring managers can often have misconceptions regarding older candidates being set in their ways.  In your cover letter and during your job interview, show a willingness to learn and try new methods for solving old problems.  A combination of innovation and established know-how will help you make a big impact both in the interview room and on the job.  Consider a Career Change If you find yourself floundering in your current position or going nowhere for a job search in your specific field, don’t be afraid to consider switching gears.  A career change can often be just the thing to help you feel renewed in your professional life. Try brainstorming jobs that may have different titles but require similar skills to those you’ve developed.  While an entry-level position may seem daunting, it may be just the thing for older candidates looking to start out fresh. Do Volunteer Work If you’re an older job seeker who is looking to stay engaged but is on the fence about taking on a full-time position, volunteer work may be just the ticket.  Community organizations, schools, churches or even government offices often are in need of unpaid or lower paid volunteers to help make contributions. This type of work can be immensely rewarding and can also fill in the gaps for those looking to make a job change. Don’t Get Discouraged No matter the age, looking for a new job is often a taxing process.  Making a switch to another quality position can take a great deal of time and effort.  Consider working with a recruiter to let them do the heavy lifting for you. No matter what, keep your chin up and remain positive.  Plenty of employers are looking for candidates with advanced levels of experience. It may take just a bit longer to find the perfect fit. Special Searches for Experienced Candidates If you’re an older job seeker, you may want to try specialized searches designed with you in mind.  Try Simply Hired’s special search for jobs at age 50+ friendly companies for a head start on what companies are in need of someone with just your kind of experience.

Why being the backup person at work isnt such a bad idea after all

Why being the backup person at work isn’t such a bad idea after all Why being the backup person at work isn’t such a bad idea after all If you watched the Winter Olympics last month, you probably noticed a lot of curious sports requiring groups of people to interact a little too closely.While I’m not suggesting you dream of a career as the #4 bobsledder or the guy who slides next to the person sweeping while curling, but there is something to be said for not being the top dog at work.Here are some reasons to celebrate not being the top banana:Better vacationsI used to try to closely follow the work and holiday calendar of the traditional workplaces until I realized it didn’t really work for me. I also noticed that while everyone else goofed off or took off during the summer months, I could always pick up a lot of extra work if I chose to take advantage of the vacation vacuum. Even better, clients were more grateful and usually more generous. And here’s the flipside. I could also set up my vacation time so that most destinations were less crowded and flights and hotels less expensive. Talk about a win-win.You pl ay less of the blame gameWhile it’s great to be the one in charge, it also means that for better and worse, you’re also the one that gets blamed when things go wrong. As the second or third or last in command, you’re free to quietly do your job while avoiding any of the top-level fallout. This doesn’t give you free reign to mess up, but it does allow you to stress less the rest of the time.You have time to update your professional toolboxAs the non-go-to person, you’ll probably find yourself with some free time on your hands during the day or workweek. Instead of obsessively checking your social media stream, try to zero in on some of the things that might help you further your career. While you’re at it, see if your employer will foot the bill for new classes, apps or programs that will help with productivity. Want to earn some brownie points along the way and find a way to pick up some more hours or hint that it’s time for a raise? Offer to teach your colleagues some of your new impressive talents.Live and learnChances are good that if you’re the backup person, you will get called in when others drop out or screw up. This gives you a great opportunity to pay attention to the weaknesses in your department and understand what most needs improvement. Don’t be smug about it but try letting your supervisors know that you’re aware of the department weaker points and then try to suggest ways to improve.You can become indispensable-ishLet’s face it, while no one is indispensable anymore, being the person everyone comes to in emergencies gives you a certain cachet. You can build on that by always performing better than expected every single time. Be nicer, more efficient and more detail oriented than anyone else on the team and you’ll continue to be the go-to person in a pinch.While you’re at it: Bring snacks: Or cookies. Or bake something for the office or clip an article or do something otherwise memorable. If you’re the backup person, you’re probably not on speed dial and will have to distinguish yourself in ways other than the traditional. If you add a personal touch to all your dealings, everyone will be happy to see you and they’ll always think of you first. Send thank you cards: Being the backup person means that you have to rely on the kindness of strangers. Send thank you cards (handwritten and with funny or relevant messages when possible), buy inexpensive but thoughtful gifts like coffee gift cards or even something unexpected to thank the person who brings you repeat project work.
