Pro-Life Journeys is an anthology of posts from the blog's first decade, telling the stories of people working to defend human dignity and build a culture of life.Compiled in the wake of the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision, Pro-Life Journeys is not about current headlines. Instead, in a collection of essays spanning a decade, it's about people whose work is building a foundation for the future.From the State House in Concord, Ms. Kolb reports on legislative battles that carry lessons for activists everywhere. She interviews women who have found their way to pro-life work via unexpected paths. She travels to a regional conference to listen to a woman confronting terminal cancer who speaks out courageously against assisted suicide. While in the Nation's Capital for the March for Life, she hears from unconventional pro-life allies who defy stereotyping.The inspiring people described in Pro-Life Journeys reflect many facets of pro-life work. There are essays about New Hampshire activists as well as people who have made their mark nationally. Some of the activists share the author's Catholic faith, while others hold a firmly secular worldview. What they have in common is a commitment to peaceful pro-life action.Pro-Life Journeys: An anthology from Leaven for the Loaf, a Granite State pro-life blog - Kindle edition by Kolb, Ellen.

Guest Bruno Souza Panelists Richard Littauer | Justin Dorfman Show Notes Hello and welcome to Sustain! The podcast where we talk about sustaining open source for the long haul. If you're looking to learn more about Java, this is the episode you really need to listen to. Today, our guest is Bruno Souza, a Brazillian Java programmer and a member of the OSI. Bruno is the Founder of SouJava, a Brazillian Java User Group which became the world's largest, he was involved with some of the earliest JVM's, and has been very influential not only in Brazil, but in the Java open source works at large. Bruno goes in depth on how he got involved in open source, getting involved in the OSI, and in Java. We also learn more about what Kotlin means for the community, how OpenJDK was extremely important for Java, and how Oracle really embraced the idea of OpenJDK. You will soon understand why Bruno is known as the “Brazilian JavaMan.” Go ahead and download this episode now to find out more! [00:01:44] Bruno explains how he got involved in open source and how long he's been a developer. [00:03:46] We learn how Bruno got involved in the OSI early on and how he got involved in Java. [00:07:12] Justin asks Bruno how he felt during the legal proceedings on Oracle v. Google. [00:12:35] Richard wonders how the Brazilian government got in touch with Bruno and what role has Brazil played in open source. Bruno mentions a manifesto that his Java group wrote along with other user groups in Brazil, explaining how they, as developers, saw open source and standards. [00:21:51] Justin asks Bruno to talk about what Kotlin means for the community and what other projects took advantage of the OpenJDK contribution. [00:28:41] Richard asks who is paying the current Java maintainers and how do we make sure that companies are responsible in doing that. [00:35:14] Find out where you can find Bruno on the internet. Quotes [00:05:15] “So, for me that discussion really opened my eyes on how important it was for a developer to have access to the source code of the things they are doing.” [00:06:19] “The adoption of Java was important because they were looking for freedom because they wanted to be free from the vendors.” [00:06:47] “And so for me, when I started discussing open source in 2000, my whole objective was to discuss those two freedoms together, the freedom to choose different vendors and the freedom to do what you want with the software you're using.” [00:09:01] “And so for me, it was more like Google was relying and benefitting from the Java tools, from all the knowledge on Java, for all the developers that knew Java.” [00:09:12] “But at the same time, they did not commit to the community.” [00:09:25] “And then when Oracle took over and they made the lawsuit, right, the problem with the lawsuit was, in terms of copywriting, it was damaging, I think. The way the lawsuit was done was damaging for developers, for software in fact.” [00:11:00] “Sometimes it's like you're swimming side by side with whales. The whale doesn't even know you're there, doesn't care that you're there. If the whale decides to move in another direction, you're dead.” [00:16:20] “The interesting thing is that the Brazilian open source community at that time was mostly comprised of people using open source, so Linux, and Open Office, so basically people suing tools. And the Java community in Brazil was by far the strongest development community that was developing for Linux using Java. So then basically, we are bringing in the developer discussion.” [00:16:46] “So, for us, the whole point to us, you know, it's not only about deciding to use open source, it's about to develop basing your code on the standards and open source software.” [00:17:19] “You can buy software from someone, you can download software from someone, but the big effort that you actually do is to write your own software.” [00:23:15] “And, I think this was very important because Oracle did do amazingly with Java in open source because Oracle really embraced the whole idea of OpenJDK.” [00:26:15] “I think that having Java open source allows you to base other languages on top of the Java VM.” [00:26:55] “But Java is the runtime in all history, the runtime that will have received more investments from companies.” [00:27:30] “Honestly for me as a developer, I see languages as tools.” [00:29:24] “So we still have to battle that with the developer.” [00:29:27] “I mean look, the biggest beneficiary of open source is the software developer.” [00:29:33] “You know you can talk about companies can benefit, you can talk users can benefit, there's lots of benefits around open source.” [00:30:01] “So, I think the biggest thing that we can do is actually show to companies how beneficial it is for them.” [00:31:15] “But, the more Twitter can get that stuff and put on the VM the less difference there is in between the open source version and what Twitter does, the less differences there are, the more Twitter can benefit from the advancements of the Java VM.” [00:32:56] “Reality, if you want to make sustainable open source, what you have to do is that we have to show the companies how valuable it is that code they have in their hands.” [00:33:14] “They're not doing the work on the open source code.” [00:33:55] “You know it's like companies that let their open source software be in this precarious situation they are throwing money down the drain.” [00:34:05] “They're really ignoring the huge value they have in their hands and if that value disappears, they are going to pay for it… heavily!” [00:35:39] “Uncle Bob says that every five years we double the number of developers, so every five years half of the developers never heard of any of that.” [00:38:02] “I think open source in general needs love, needs more people giving and less people taking.” Spotlight [00:36:38] Justin's spotlight is Coffeezilla on YouTube. [00:36:55] Richard's spotlight is a book called, The Great Book of Amber by Roger Zelazny. [00:37:26] Bruno's spotlight is a book called, Give and Take by Adam Grant.

If you want to feel and look your best or even prevent or even reverse chronic diseases, we have to talk about diet. Your dietary pattern—what you eat day after day, month after month, year after year—is more predictive than genetics and family history for developing chronic diseases and dying early. Even though most people understand they should eat healthier, the Standard American Diet (SAD) is rich in calories and poor in nutrition. It’s characterized by consuming high amounts of baked goods, fried foods, sodas, and packaged foods full of high-fructose corn syrup, artificial flavors, artificial sweeteners, food dyes, partially hydrogenated oils (trans fatty acids), preservatives, and other additives. Learn what you can do instead.   Resources talked about in this episode: Blog mentioned - Dr. Neustadt’s 3 Steps to Eating for Life Blog mentioned - Food Matters

Hey guys! This week we're talking about Bad Boys For Life. It's a Will Smith movie that's actually slightly better than tediously shit for once! In the intro I talk about why I've had a shit week as usual with it this time involving me making an absolute tit of myself. Then I go on to compare the blog to having a massive wank. It's fun in the moment but with hindsight there were probably more productive ways to spend your time. I also compare Martin Lawrence's screaming to that of an old lady that falls out of a bucket of grapes and chokes. You know the woman right? It's a YouTube video.

I haven't written a blog in a wee while so forgive me if I'm a little bit rusty. I've just finished an intensive with a beautiful soul called Lin. She has been listening to my podcasts for years and has loved reading and listening to my blog audios too. It's refreshing to know someone does but with over 1500 listens a week without much promotion I know for sure people are tuning in globally. I'm also currently renewing my website with another beautiful soul, Susan Wheeler Hall and I do believe she tried to secretly chastise me in the most lovingly gentle way to get off my ass and start writing again. So I listened to what they both had to say yet only only felt compelled to write today.Today I was on a teeny tiny twin prop aeroplane flying with Mr Lovely to the beautiful Scottish island of Lewis for a wee holiday together.Our flight was quite early and I woke this morning with even more of a sense of naughtiness and mischievousness than usual at the thought of the opportunity of adventure with Jerry. We travelled by car to the railway station, took a train and then a bus to to the airport. I've been giggling, laughing, having fun with Mr Lovely ,talking non stop and sending our daughters pictures of the tiny plane and their tall mother and father. It's a wondrous sight and if I could earn money from Mr Lovely's eye rolling at my being this morning I'd be a very wealthy lady!I was buzzing inside yet totally calm. As the plane took off. My heart was full of gratitude for this moment and that we are both able to enjoy this adventure together. My eyes filled with tears.I excitedly took photos and film of the plane taking off, secretly feeling like a tourist capturing every single moment of motion.  I got lost in thought watching the plane fly through clouds to a clear sky and in each and every minute of the plane ascending I was reminded of energy. The gorgeous spiritual energy of all life that supports the atmosphere, the weather, the changing seasons, the air we breathe. Also the incredible intellect of man in discovering the gift of flight and the creation of aeroplanes to fly humans all over the world.And then my thought-stream reminded me of my conversations with Lin, my intensive student this week, she is roughly the same vintage as me and was gentle,loving and wise. During one of our conversations I expressed to Lin how I feel about life. I know beyond doubt I am spiritual energy in a human form. I call it my meat sac .... I also know beyond any doubt that my spirit is ageless and my human form is not, it is subject to deterioration. That's the nature of the game. I can look after my human form as best I can but I can never stop it ageing. Yet my spirit has no age nor does it age. Lin and I discussed this a lot. I love that we did because it appears to me that so many humans believe and get caught up in their thoughts about “age” and restrict and limit their life accordingly.Your sense of who you are will determine what you believe you need and what matters to you in life and whatever matters to you will have the power to disturb you. Are those thoughts obvious to you?This morning I felt even more mischievous and naughty than usual. My conversations with Lin about her true nature have by default ignited my own with a beautiful sense that something has been let go of within me. I feel lighter and even more peaceful than I did yesterday. I know that insight has happened without content and to be honest I really don't care what that insight was because the feeling I'm living in is simply divine. What an incredible space to live life from.How about you ?

Today, I’m interviewing Tanja Hester, who has been retired now for just a couple months. Here’s the thing, though, she’s only 38 years old. Tanja and her husband both worked as political consultants making six figures each. Both of them loved their work and found it fulfilling. However, after watching her father lose his mobility early in his life due to a degenerative neuromuscular disability, Tanja realized she could have the same fate. So, she decided to spend her able bodied years hiking, traveling, and enjoying all the world had to offer --- away from the office. After years of saving half their income, Tanja and her husband finally reached financial independence. At the end of 2017, they left their careers and are currently enjoying outdoor life where they live in Lake Tahoe. Along the way, Tanja started a blog called Our Next Life to document her journey. It now gets over 150,000 page views every month and even earned her the 2017 Plutus Award, the top honor in the personal finance community, for one of the best blog. We’ll talk about her journey, her blog, and how someone who is NOT naturally a saver or naturally frugal she says to retire before 38 and not have to work another day in your life. You can visit Tanja at ournextlife.com or follow along on Twitter @our_nextlife. To learn more visit www.somoneypodcast.com.

It is probably one of the dumbest ways for a job interviewer to open up the interview, but it is one of the best things that could possibly happen to you. You might be puzzled. I know there are a lot of you out there puzzled because I get the emails and I get the questions on my YouTube channel and blog. You're wondering how to answer this. You say, “Ugh, I'm not sure where to start. I'm not sure what to say. I'm not sure what to share. I don't want to share the wrong things.” What you should be thinking is, “Yes. Thank you Mr. Unskilled Job Interviewer for lobbing me that sweet softball question so I can now totally control the interview and dazzle you with my professional highlight reel. So buckle up and prepare to be amazed.” That's what should be going through your head because you now get to offer up whatever it is you want to share. Do’s, Don’ts, Always, and Never-Evers… Before we get into the “here's how,” I want to talk a little bit about the do’s and don'ts to get you positioned in the right spot before you walk them through. First thing I want you to do is [it's actually before the interview ever starts, day before, week before, whenever it is, I want you to] look at your resume! 1] Look at the job description and determine what areas or activities or accomplishments in your resume most closely align and best suit you to do that role effectively. Think about those. Grab this tool to help you: Career Achievements Journal: 14 Points That make You Marketable, Get You Promoted, and Accelerate Your Career. It's got 14 great areas to investigate about any major project you do in your professional career. It'll provide questions to ask yourself and information to gather that will be wonderful to share [whether with your current employer or a perspective employer]. I want you to think through the resume and how it aligns to what it is they need in an employee. That's the first do. 2] The second “do” is make sure you bring a copy of your resume to the job interview. It's something a lot of people forget to do, but here's why you need it. You cannot be sure the job interviewer's actually going to have a copy. Even if he or she does have a copy, it's highly likely they have not read it. I know it's sad, but it's true. They're that lazy, which is why they asked you to walk them through it. They want you to read it to them. Extra sad face. 3] You also want to make sure before you start you know what direction to go. Ask them. There are basically three directions you can go through this exercise. You can start at the beginning of your professional life and walk them through your resume up to today. Ask them, “Do you want me to start at the beginning and bring you current?” You can start with today and go in reverse chronological order and work backwards to the beginning of your professional career. You can cherry pick those areas for them to determine whether you’re a good fit for the job and have best prepared you for the role? They'll probably want you to go from the beginning of time to today, but regardless of which direction, you'll know. 4] Don’t read them what's on the resume. Don't look at your resume and start reading. You'll be very dry. 5] Don't [just] talk about the activities you have on the resume. You'll lose them. You'll lose their attention. It's not that exciting what you were responsible for. Here’s how to roll… Once you know what direction they want you to go (most of them are going to want you to go from the beginning of time till today), start going through your resume. When you start at the beginning (now for many of you I know that was 10, 20, or 30 years ago) remember not all the information on your resume is created equal in helping you get that job. It's not all as relevant. For those areas, especially the ones at the beginning of your career, I want you to walk through those very, very quickly. If I was interviewing and someone wanted to interview me for a practice leadership position and asked me to walk them through my resume, I might say, “I got out of college and started working as a programmer and then I became a designer and then I started managing projects that implemented software solutions." That took me [less than] 10 seconds to go through five years of my career because it's not very relevant! But, they asked you to start there so that's what you want to do. You want to go through the less critical areas very quickly. Then, when you get to a spot in your career where you think you have a home run accomplishment or achievement, take your opportunity to shine. Give them context on what was happening in that project. What did you do? What was the business benefit? Who were you doing it for? Who were you doing it with? How much money did you save them? How much revenue did you generate them? Get the career achievements journal I mentioned earlier to help you tell that story. It’ll help bring context and color. Then move onto the next one and so on and so forth. Oh. I know what you’re thinking… You might be thinking, “Andy, I could go on for an hour talking about myself, my resume.” GOOD! Good, go do that. You get to script exactly what it is that you want to say. You might be thinking, “I'm not really sure. Maybe I'm running off at the mouth. I might bore them.” There's ways after you hit each major area in your resume, just take a pause, look over to the interviewer and just say, "Is that enough there? Did you have anymore questions about that? Did you want to discuss that any further? How am I doing? Should I go onto the next point?" Just do what you need to do to give yourself a quick break. The fact of the matter is they turned control of the interview over to you so you now get to blueprint the dialogue that occurs. You get to tell them what you want to tell them, not what they want to ask you. That's the wonderful thing about getting asked that question early in the interview.

Do you feel you need to raise your confidence in your job interviews? Join career expert and award-winning author Andrew LaCivita as he discusses job interview confidence: boost yours with these protips! -------------------- SEE FULL WEBISODE ON MY BLOG -------------------- Check out job interview confidence: boost yours with these protips on my Tips for Work and Life Blog with the video, podcast, full transcript, and more!: http://milewalk.com/mwblog/job-interview-confidence-boost-yours-with-these-protips/ -------------------- CONNECT WITH ANDREW -------------------- Join Andrew’s email list: http://milewalk.com/mwblog Get Andrew’s books and training: https://www.milewalkacademy.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/andylacivita Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/andrewlacivita Twitter: https://twitter.com/arlacivita LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewlacivita Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alacivita iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/tips-for-work-life-andrew/id1120387046 -------------------- SUMMARY -------------------- Confidence and the way you exude it is one of the most important ingredients to a successful job interview! Let’s level-set here. I know you all have varying degrees of confidence. Whoever you are, however confident or non-confident you are, think about when you were most confident. You probably felt super-knowledgeable about what you were doing or discussing. Knowledge breeds confidence. You also probably felt very prepared. Preparation breeds confidence. So, the first thing I want you to do is just take a deep breath. Remember, if you are in a job interview, you are likely qualified for that job and you can do it effectively. That’s why the employer invited you in for an interview. So take some comfort in that. Now, the preparation part is something I can really help you with.  That’s what we’re going to focus on in this video. Before we dive into that, I want you to think about the context of three biggest aspects of what’s happening in a job interview: You’ve got you, and your story, and what you’re all about. You’ve got the employer, the questions they’re going to ask you, and the responses you give them for them to determine whether you’re a good fit. You’ve got the questions you’re going to ask the employer to determine if they’re a good fit for you. Know your story. I’m sure some of you are out there thinking, Andy, I live with myself all the time! Of course I know my story. I won’t argue with that, but there’s a huge difference between knowing what you’ve done, being able to recall it in detail under duress, bringing real life into it with the color and details you give your story when you share it with somebody. Let’s paint the scene. You start the interview. It’s all about your story in the beginning. Somebody just asked you, “Tell me about yourself.” Or how about this one, “Walk me through your resume.” That’s the best because now you can waltz right through it, you’ve got your resume to use as a crutch. Like I said, remembering what it is you did isn’t so difficult. But, being able to share your story with some real life, that’s where the confidence comes in. So, before you go into a job interview, I want you to think back. Sit down with your resume, pour your favorite cup of coffee, and sit at the coffee table. You’ve got no distractions. You’re not under any duress. Go through your resume and think through the highlights on your resume and all the bullets you’ve got laid out there. What was actually happening at the time you were doing that? Remember, some of these activities you performed might be ten years old, but they could still be very, very relevant to what the employer wants to know. Who was on the project? What were you doing? Think about what the air smelled like. Think about the business problem. I have a great aid you can download I call my career achievements journal. It’s got 14 points you should address for every major project in your career. Use those questions to stimulate your thinking so you could start to recall what was happening throughout the last 10 or 20 years of your career. So, when somebody says as you’re walking through your resume, “Hey, hold it right there, that’s really interesting to me. Let’s talk a little bit more about that part of your career.” Now, you’re ready to say, “You know what, oh man, that was such a wonderful time in my life. I was on this 30-person project team, we were implementing this software system for our customer. I was managing a five-person SWAT team that was focusing on the architectural design and development blah blah blah.” That is much different when you have it at your fingertips, even though it was 10 or 15 years ago, and you’re able to articulate it with details. Details about what’s going on at any moment in your story is what brings life to it. It helps the person paint a picture of what is happening, and it makes them feel as though you know your stuff, and you will come off as confident! Know your responses. When they start asking more detailed questions about your experience and your skill sets, knowing your responses and the details you want to share will be extremely important. For this point, I’ll offer your a great e-book called Ace Your Job Interview, Master the Best Responses to the 14 Most Effective Job Interview Questions. If you look at the questions, you will see a pattern. There are a lot of very, very good interview questions the employer disguises, but they’re all looking for the same 15-20 aspects about you. Use the eBook to get the questions and career journal to help with your responses. The preparation, your understanding of the most common and most critical job interview questions, and knowing your responses are somethings you can do in advance. You can use that career achievements journal to stimulate your thoughts and the details that go along with those responses. Knowing those responses cold will help you come off as more confident. And, you’ll be ready for any question that comes along. Know your questions. And follow up questions. If you are well researched and have very well thought-out questions, these can be scripted based on your requirements and what’s important to you. You get to do all of this in advance, so script out those questions. If you’re looking for a bunch of questions, here’s another giveaway for you. I have a free webinar called 3 Keys to Ace Any Job Interview. Attendees get a great e-book called How to Interview the Employer: 75 Great Questions to Ask Before You Take Any Job. Use those questions, take the ones you want, you’ll never run out. There are plenty of them there for you to choose from. Here’s your protip: it’s not just good enough to ask well-designed questions, and be thorough, and show that you’re researched. Confidence comes from able to quickly respond to what the employer says in his or her response to your question. So step number one is nailing the question you want to ask. Step number two is you spending some time, in advance, anticipating the employer’s possible responses and being ready with your follow-up questions. That shows them you’re confident. That shows them you know what you’re looking for. That shows them you know how to investigate. Confidence comes from that, and if you are able to anticipate what the likely outcomes will be, you’re going to be way ahead of the game. I hope you like those points.

You know the one. They loved you so much the first time, they invited you back! I’m going to give you three great tips. These are the exact same three tips I gave one of my Interview Intervention Course students, Hannah. She used them to get the job on her second interview. [Hannah, if you’re watching, shout out to you. Hope you’re enjoying the new job! For the rest of you, I want you to know the second interviews are not much different—tactically—than the first interviews. All those videos I’ve created on job interview tactics and my FREE webinar 3 Keys to Ace Any Job Interviewwill teach you how to answer and ask questions in a job interview. Use all that as foundational stuff. The second interview is about building deeper connections… The second job interview is about building a deeper connection, a deeper relationship, and more chemistry with the entire company. It is about getting them to imagine you as part of the team. You want them to feel as though you’re part of the team. So, how do you do that? Sometimes when you’re invited back, you are speaking with the same people you spoke with the first time, sometimes they’re new people, and sometimes it’s a mixture. Use these tactics across the board and adjust appropriately based on who you’re speaking with… Ask Again. The first technique I would use is when you are speaking with somebody you have previously spoken with (whether on the phone or in an interview). Ask about something you’ve already spoken about. I call this the “ask again” technique. Say, “Last time I was here you mentioned [insert whatever here]. It really stuck with me. I thought more about it and I wanted to get more insight into that as it relates to [insert whatever here.] Could you elaborate…” This starts a deeper discussion on something you’ve already spoken about. Going deeper into the conversation on something both of you consider very important builds a deeper relationship. Ask More. The second tactic is to ask additional (new) questions. If you are speaking with somebody who you’ve previously spoken with previously, you want to make sure you’re asking him or her a new batch of questions. If you’re speaking with someone you haven’t spoken with, make sure you have lots and lots of great questions. If you’re not sure where to get these great questions, go to my FREE webinar 3 Keys to Ace Any Job Interview because all attendees receive a FREE eBook called How to Interview the Employer: 75 Great Questions to Ask Before You Take Any Job. You will never run out of questions. Plus, this shows you are well-researched and you are very, very interested in investigating this company further. And, you’re doing it in a smart way. Be Inclusive. The third tip is to be inclusive of other people. By that I mean, reference conversations you’ve had with others in the organization. [You can even use this in the first round of interviews.] Whether you’re speaking with somebody you previously spoken with or you’re speaking with new people, one the best tactics you can use is to refer to what you and someone spoke about and then ask for their opinion. For example, “I talked with Susie the other day and she mentioned [insert whatever here]. I loved that and I’d like to get your insight on that. Could you elaborate on that as it relates to [insert whatever here]?” Consider the person you’re interviewing. Whether he or she is a subordinate of Susie’s, a peer, or a superior, you can adjust the angle of trajectory of your questioning and take it in the direction of that particular individual. You’re showing them you enjoyed speaking with Susie, you found what she said delightful, and also want their opinion. You value their opinion and they with naturally see you as a team player. [You certainly sound like one!] As you start to reference others in the organization in a sincere way, the interviewer will start to feel like you are part of the team. As a bonus, this gives you an opportunity to make sure there is a level of consistency across their responses. Are they all on the same page?

You’re not sure if there’s an opening. You’re not sure if they’ll welcome you. You’re wondering should I apply? If I apply, how should I apply? First things first… Should you apply or reach out to an organization when they don’t have a job posting? Heck Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Three reasons: Great organizations are always, always combing the world for the greatest talent. They’re always in hiring mode, whether they have a budget for a new position or don’t have a budget for a new position. They are constantly looking for the greatest resources because they know the greatest resources don’t always come along or are available when they need them. They’ll trade up. If there are ten people in an organization, there’s at least one or two of them the company would be willing to trade out for a better performer. It’s just simple math. Now start adding a zero to those numbers. If there are 100 people in the company, that’s ten to 20 people they’d likely trade out. What about a 1,000 people in the company? That’s 200 openings, even if they don’t have extra budget to hire additional resources. There is still 10-20% of their organization they feel they can improve with better resources. Less competition. There’ll be a lot less competition. If there’s no job posting, it’s a deterrent for well more than 90% of the people. So most of them won’t even try it. The ones who do, unless they’re sitting next to you watching this video, they’re not going to know exactly how to do that. This is going to give the recruiters and the HR people and the hiring officials more time to give your submittal more care and consideration. Now, how should I do it? There are seven areas to address in your introduction or your cover letter. When you want to target a company and don’t see a job positing, reach out with this cover letter (introduction, email, etc.): Why you’re writing to them. The reason I’m writing to you is because I want to join your company. But, you can’t leave them there. You need to give them some context and some rationale as to why you want to work at that organization. Your rationale for wanting to work there. The reasons I want to work here are…based on my research…and then insert your rationale. What you offer and why you’re a great fit.

Sure, a lot of you starting now have some smarts, a good job, and are willing to work hard. All that sets you in the right direction, but over the long-term, over a multi-decade career that simply will not be enough to be truly successful. My 7 Key Success Factors for Business Networking There are two areas I want to review about networking: what makes it successful and how to actually do it! So, let’s review my seven key principles for how to do it successfully and then a five step plan of attack to execute those principles. It’s an all-the-time thing. You need to do it all the time. If you only do it when you need it, you're not going to be successful. If you need to network, it's already too late if you don't already have a healthy one. Be very, very consistent. Give value first. Take second. Give value first to others before you ask for something. It could be anything. But whatever value you provide—your time, energy, education, favors—give it first. Give more than you take. Put more into the networking bank. Keep making deposits before you make withdrawals. Do it live. This is not an email thing. This is human interaction. This is building deeper relationships. This is spending time with people. Do what you say you’re going to do—build trust. Always follow through. Whether you’re providing information, making a referral, etc. You want to be known for having a good “word,” being trustworthy, and being dependable. Move it forward and expand their network. If the interaction between you and me dies with you, you haven't helped me build my network. So, you want to make sure you're thinking how can I help expand this person's network? Who might be good for him or her to know? You want to pay it forward, you want to move it forward, and you want to expand their network. The point is for both of you to grow your networks. Build a systematic plan that allows you to execute. You need to build a plan that makes you consistent, organized, and working toward building a healthy network that meets your goal and the goals of others. My 5-Step Plan to Build a Healthy Professional Network This plan has served me well for multiple decades. It’s also helped me build and keep and extremely healthy network. This process works A. Set your networking goals. The first place to start is to set your goals. Don’t just start dialing up people and emailing them. That isn't going to get you where you need to be. You have to have a goal. And what do I mean by goals? There are many, but let’s talk about four: Educations and advancement of your knowledge Camaraderie Job hunting Grow customers, partnerships, etc. B. Build your relationship map by doing your research. Who do you know who can move you toward your goals? Who do they know? Who do you want to know? Who might know them? Build a relationship map. Literally build one. It could be a list of people, could be a diagram, or whatever it is that you want to do. C. Identify 60 to 100 people you can connect with who can help you meet your goals. Build a nice list of individuals. Spend an hour or so each month identifying the right people for you to connect with and contact. Do your homework. Be aggressive. D. Prepare standard messages you can modify. Draft 3-4 templates you can use to contact people and they tailor each one (in the next step) based on your relationship with them. E. “E” is for execute. Execute a consistent reach out program. For me, I contact five people at the beginning of each month. I go through my list of people and my relationship map. I identify 5-6 people I’d like to contact. I either call them or email them to see if they want to get together (phone, coffee, lunch, dinner, etc.). Give them a week to get back to you. If some don’t, start contacting others and so on and so forth. Five people might not sound like a lot, but keep in mind you want to actually get together or speak with them. This is about spending time! Adjust your plan according. The point isn’t to do it exactly as I’ve laid it out. The point is to tailor this or some plan to accommodate your needs. Feel free to adjust accordingly based on your goals. Most importantly, have fun and be generous! If you enjoyed this video, give me a LIKE, COMMENT, and, of course SHARE with your friends.

For all you out there watching (listening or reading this), I want to offer some words of encouragement. I know you can do this! I've done it three times. If I could do it three times, you can do it. The great news is you have the ability. It’s also never in the history of the world been easier to make a career change with all the resources we have now to help educate you and get you going in the right direction. Have a plan… The problem is most people don't have a plan, which I'm going to give you today—the first seven steps of that plan. But first, a little perspective and motivation… I want to just give you a moment of perspective and I want you to tuck this away in the back of your mind as you watch this video or any of my videos for that matter. If I wasn't brave enough thirteen or so years ago to make a career change and then again two years ago to make another change, you'd never be benefiting from this video or any video I've ever created, or any training course, or anything I've ever done to help facilitate your career and your life. I want you think about as you're hesitating to make that change. Think of all those people in this world who would benefit from you doing so. So whether you are an old pro (like I am) wanting to make a drastic career change, or whether you're a college student looking for that first job, or anybody who wants a job where they don't feel like they have the requisite experience, this video is for you. I'm going to give you the first seven steps I would take. Let's roll… 1. Make sure you want it and make a list. It sounds silly, but there's a huge difference between a passing fancy and a burning desire. Most people fail not because of their ability, but because they don't have a good plan in place. They haven't thought it through about whether or not that career or that change is going to align to what makes them happy. So, the first step that I would take is I would list out all of my requirements I need in place to be happy. Make a list. It sounds simple, but very few people do it. BONUS: I have a three-part video series you can watch. It's called The First 5 Steps to Career Success: Get Your Career Focused, Organized, and On Track. Watch this to make sure you make the right list. 2. What are you willing to sacrifice? You have the ability to achieve your goals. You have the ability to make this career change or get that job. The reason a lot of people fail is not only because they don't have a plan, but also because they're unwilling to give up certain things in their life. You have to put in extra effort to compensate for the areas you’re deficient. You need to “catch up.” Think…nights, weekends, compensation, and so forth. You might have to take a little pay cut if you want to make a change. What are you willing to give up and not give up? Get clear on that and be committed to sacrificing those things that will prevent you from being successful in making this change. 3. Learn the capabilities and qualities. You need to discover the capabilities important for success in that particular career or job. What do I mean by capabilities? Here’s an example. When a sales person is sells a product or service, knowing exactly how to sell that particular product is a trade skill learned through experience selling that specific product. That skill is usually something easily taught or learned. But, great sales people transcend product and services. They have foundational abilities like good leadership skills, good organizational skills, and good communication skills. They're good listeners. They know how to connect the dots for their customers or prospects to show them how their products and services will benefit them. They're good at psychology. These are foundational abilities that can be developed that make a great sales person a great sales person. If you want to be a chef, then you need to figure out what capabilities make awesome chefs. There are many ways to do that, but there are two easy ways. You could literally Google “what qualities make a great chef.” A whole bunch of blog posts will come up and a whole bunch of books will come up. Read. Learn. See if those are qualities you think you already have or can develop. The other thing is you can do a little research with individuals who are currently doing that role or have done that role. There are lots of ways to get this insight, but you want to make sure identify the capabilities. We're going to use these in a later step in the process. This is a huge deal. 4. Do your reconnaissance with people currently doing that career or job. Talk to people currently doing that job—and I want to stress the word currently. Why do I make such a big deal about this? It's okay to talk to somebody who was a chef or a sales person. But, human nature is we tend to forget what it was like, what some of the struggles were, what it was like not to know what we know. Also, their techniques or their interactions with the world might be a little outdated. You want to talk to people who are currently going through it. It's fresh in their minds. They know what they're dealing with. It's front, it's center, and they can share it with you. You can start making a longer list of things you're going to have to evaluate and consider to know whether you're going to want to make this change. It might sound exciting when you're thinking about making that change, but if you don't have some realistic real-time data you're not going to be successful. 5. Build your Franken-Mentor. It's never been easier to get help and get educated on a career you want. I call this one “building a Franken-Mentor.” When I became a trainer a few years ago, I didn't know how to work a camera. I didn't really have a great (social) platform. I didn't know what it was like to build a membership site or a training course or a number of other things I had to learn. I have seven different people it takes to help me shoot this video! LOL. I had to learn from many different people, who were experts at what they do. I took an entire army to deliver this video to you! Google them. Find their books. Find their blogs. Follow those people. Figure out and align those capabilities with individuals who speak on this or write on that or talk on that and start to learn. Over time, you'll find some experts are a little bit more effective than others. Continue to follow them. That’s how you’ll really start educating yourself. Go build that Franken-Mentor! 6. Anticipate and plan for the struggles. It’s amazingly stupid to me people want you to envision success. (Yes. I just said that.) You hear a lot of people talk about, "Well, just imagine yourself successful." That's BUNK. (Yes. All capitals bunk.) You can't just imagine yourself into success! The better way to imagine yourself towards success is to envision the struggles you will encounter and anticipate them. Then, envision yourself working through them! Talking to the people currently in the job, researching the change you want to make, and then putting a plan together as to how you're going to overcome those challenges is what get’s you through them and on to success. How will you react when you encounter that obstacle? I’ll tell you how you’ll react. You’re gonna kill it because you were prepared for that encounter. When you hit it, you had already envisioned the struggle, anticipated it could surface, and were ready for it emotionally and with your plan! If you just envision yourself on the beach having cocktails, it isn't going to work. You probably have a dozen or so problems you have to overcome. All of us do. There's a bunch you’ll prepare for through your research. There’s some that will be unanticipated. But, everybody has three problems. You have a: Learning problem Marketing problem Job-interviewing problem (if you stay in the corporate world) 7. Execute your plan to overcome the struggles and advance toward success! Now it’s time to execute! The learning issue we discussed a bit. Build your Franken-Mentor, get the books, follow the blogs, do the research, do your reconnaissance, talk to the people, start getting educated, start becoming more and more familiar. This issue is pretty straightforward. It just takes a little elbow grease. Most people are concerned about the “marketing issue.” People always want to know, "What do I put on my resume? What if I don’t have the right experience?” If you did step number three (Capabilities and Qualities) and identified those foundational traits you will be in great shape. The best employers know the capabilities they need to evaluate in a potential employee and they are hiring for the long term. They will notice that match in your resume. Here’s what to do. Take whatever experience you have… If you're a college student, it’s your internships, part-time jobs, school projects, classes, and whatever else you have at your disposal. If you're professional, it’s whatever work experience you have. Use your list of capabilities, go through your work history, and start identifying the projects, the efforts, and work you did that built skills, which align to those capabilities. Put that information into your career profile, your highlights, and bullets in the professional experience on your resume. See How to Build the Ultimate Professional Resume for more on this. You also want to add this information in your cover letter and LinkedIn profile. Of course, prepare for some of the popular job interview questions in the same matter. That is, develop your responses using “stories” of developing those capabilities and how they match to the new job or career. You must focus on the capabilities. That’s the biggest key to success to get over the marketing and job interviewing hurdles. Like this episode? Please share it via social media and review it on iTunes!

Have you wondered why you didn’t get hired even though you were perfect for the job? Join career expert, motivator, and award-winning author Andrew LaCivita as he discusses the number 1 reason you did not get hired! Mistake Alert Most people think they get hired because of their qualifications. In doing so, they expend so much energy in the interview focusing on their experience before they know which parts of their experience and qualifications the employer is most interested in. At this point, you must be thinking whaaaaaa? The Obvious You are in a job interview of some kind. The employer, through its action of spending time to speak with you, thinks you’re qualified—on paper. The Not-So-Obvious  You actually get a job interview because of your qualifications. You get the job for three reasons, none of which are your qualifications. Why Do You Get the Job? Based on my observation from thousands of interviews between my clients (the hiring companies) and job candidates (prospective employees), I've concluded a candidate's attainment of the job is largely contingent on three often-undetectable success factors: The candidate's ability to effectively articulate his or her qualifications and potential contributions (encoding) The interviewer's ability to accurately interpret the candidate's qualifications (decoding) The interviewer's capacity to remember the candidate (memory) It all comes down to your ability to communicate how your qualifications match what the employer needs. The Unfortunate Reality The reality is you have a greater chance of failing the interview because of a misrepresentation or misinterpretation than you do a lack of qualification. The 3-Step Fix  Keep the three reasons why you get hired in mind. Awareness and consciousness (of these issues) is key to success. Of course, general consciousness is too. J When asked an interview question, don’t rush to share your awesomeness unless you know which part of your awesomeness the interviewer and employer needs to know. (That is, it doesn’t matter if you’re fantastic. You need to connect the dots for the employer how your fabulousness matches what it needs!) Sometimes the job interviewer’s question is specific and he or she identifies clearly what’s needed. Other times, the interviewer is vague. Make sure to look before you leap. Ask a clarifying question (if need be) to zone in on exactly what information the interviewer needs to know to determine whether you are a great fit. This is especially helpful in the wake of the dreaded and horribly ineffective, “Please tell me about yourself,” question. (See Bonus Section for more.) Bonus Section  For junior and mid-level folks who often face the dreaded, “Please tell me about yourself,” question, your immediate response to ensure clarification should be:  I’d love to tell you about myself. Can you let me know what part of my background would be most helpful for you to know so you can make a good determination regarding whether I’m a great fit for your company? For senior-level folks, make sure to clarify what the employer considers the most important growth areas (units) within the company as well as what attributes, traits, capabilities, and skills are most important for its leaders.

Wondering how to get your college resume noticed? Join career expert, motivator, and award-winning author Andrew LaCivita as he discusses This One Trick That Will Make Your College Resume Stand Out! I’ve seen over a half-million resumes during my career and have a great trick for college students and recent graduates to ensure their resumes stand out. Below are This One Trick Will Make Your College Resume Stand Out video and podcast highlights! PRELUDE: If you didn't see How To Build The Ultimate Professional Resume, check it out for many more details, which overlap with collegiate resumes. http://milewalk.com/mwblog/build-ultimate-professional-resume-andrew-lacivita/ This trick helps overcome the most common resume mistake: placing a worthless objective statement at the top of the resume. DOWNLOAD: Download Your Ultimate Collegiate Resume Template with instructions so you can follow along! https://milewalk.leadpages.co/leadbox/123432753f72a2%3A17fd80be1346dc/5680219105001472/ Remember, your resume has one goal: To entice a prospective employer to speak with you. This requires you to show what you offer, not ask for what you want. Even starting with your education doesn’t buy you much because employers care about so much more than your schooling. The Trick: At the top of your resume, include a Profile of you. This is a quick snapshot of you as a person and soon-to-be full-time professional. Your goal is to provide a one-paragraph, high-level overview of you as a student and part-time worker. This helps employers develop of picture in their minds regarding who you are and what’s forthcoming in your resume. You want to entice them. Keep in mind; this is your “sales copy” of you to get them interested! Example: State University graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Marketing and Psychology minor. Held various summer jobs and internships focusing on sales support activities. Served on several university and fraternal committees. Built additional sales-related capabilities via school fundraising activities and other volunteering efforts. You want to include reference to these four items: School Major/Degree Work Experience Generalize Extracurriculars The benefits: Appears more professional than collegiate to the employer. Demonstrates maturity, which is currently one of the biggest complaints by employers regarding college graduates’ lack of readiness for the workforce. Builds excitement for the employer as they start to review your resume. Provides an element of uniqueness because very few do this. See the video, podcast, or transcript for more details.

I’ve reviewed more than 500,000 resumes during my career and have developed an optimal resume format that works for 95% of the workforce. Below are the How To Build The Ultimate Professional Resume video and podcast highlights! Your resume has only one goal: To entice a prospective employer to speak with you!

DOWNLOAD: Download Your Ultimate Professional Resume Template so you can follow along! See the video, podcast, or transcript for greater explanation and rationale of all the following sections. Contact Information Name: Use first and last names only. Address: Street Number, City, State, and Zip Code Phone: Use your cell with a professional voicemail greeting. Do not use your home number with the kids yelling or dogs barking in the background. Email: Use a personal and polished email with your name (johnsmith@gmail.com). Do not use nondescript formats (ilovebirds@gmail.com). Career Profile In this section, include one or two very short paragraphs, which identify: Who you are What you’ve accomplished Summary of proficient skills Don’t include what you want because you want to get them excited! In the video and podcast, I provided two dissimilar examples of how to aggregate your careers (including a sales professional and hostess examples for illustrative diversity). Career Highlights In this section, include three to four significant accomplishments. You’ll hit home runs if you focus on the three key areas companies care about: Generating revenue Saving costs Optimizing their infrastructure and processes to operate more effectively In the video and podcast, I provided additional examples. Work Experience In this section, outline the following information. The video and podcast have substantially more insight to the rationale and details. List work history in reverse chronological order (never organize by functions performed across companies). Place company name on left side with one sentence description of company immediately underneath. Indent titles/roles underneath company and description with one or two sentences to aggregate accomplishments at the position. Detail accomplishments and responsibilities within each position. Employers think in terms of time and chronology. They want to see career progression within and across companies. Education List your school(s), city, state, and date of degree or anticipated completion date. Extracurricular and Volunteer Activities Identify any relevant participation, activities, and experience. Check the Tips for Work and Life Blog for additional articles on resume writing.

Personal finance touches every aspect of life by definition. Every aspect of our life involves finance in some way. As we make the decisions of life, we're constantly faced with cost and opportunity cost: Is it wise of me to allocate this $100 to a memorable evening's entertainment with my family or to set it aside toward a larger vacation fund? Should I use some extra money to upgrade the look and style of my wardrobe or purchase some extra books or classes to advance my knowledge? Am I better served by investing my money into ownership of publicly traded securities through my 401(k) account or will I get a higher return on my investment by improving the insulation of my house and upgrading my windows to an energy efficient version. These are ultimately the decisions we face. Culturally, we usually separate these areas of life into different decisions. But we shouldn't. Each of them (and many thousands of additional options) impacts the other.  We're far better off if we view our life as a web of integrated decisions and we should be able to flow seamlessly among our different options. My guest today does just that. Jeff and his wife are raising a young family and are working toward financial independence together. Their personal interest in sustainability and green living has naturaly integrated with their financial planning. DIY activities and home improvement have had benefits in both areas.
