Go-Getters Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle

Go-Getters Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle Chapter 5 of The Go-Getter Girls Guide is about maintaining a healthy lifestyle.   What an ironic topic to  discuss this time of year as  many of us are facing the reality that its time to cut back on cookies, and get our butts to the gym. Im not going to get into the details of this chapter because weve heard it all before: eat more fruits and vegetables, work out consistently, cut back on snacking, do squats while watching TV, blah blah blah.   The truth is, we all know what to do.   We probably dont do it because we dont know  why we should do it.   Well,  a healthy lifestyle has major  benefits  for the mind, body, and  wallet.   And until you experience it for yourself, you probably wont  get it.    No, I could care less if you (or anyone else)  is a size 2.   That is NOT the point of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. We women often associate how we feel about our bodies with how we feel about our lives.   Pissed that your favorite  $200 jeans  look painted on today?   My guess is you are going to have a day full of irritation, mood swings and lower self-esteem.   Author Debra Shigley  points out that: Working out makes us gain physical strength.   Feeling like we have strength makes us feel powerful. Working out breeds confidence which is gained from setting a goal and achieving it. And in my opinion, the BIGGEST benefit of working out? Exercise helps fight depression. I dont know about you, but almost every woman in her twenties that  I know is on some type of anti-depressant or anti-anxiety med.   These are issues that are extremely common in our age group so lets stop denying it.   We have a lot of pressures, bills, choices, uncertainty, things to learn, and people to meet.   Why not  reduce depression if you have the option? Make the time to maintain a healthy lifestyle.   Lots of other Go-Getters are doing it.   Chapter 5 highlights how some of our favorite Go-Getters feel about making a healthy lifestyle a part of their insanely busy lives.   These ladies include: Tory Burch, Lisa Ling, Niki Taylor and Kelli O’Hara. I cant leave this post without mentioning one of my favorite authors, Steven Covey.   In his insanely fabulous book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People,  habit #7   is  Sharpen the Saw. Steven says, Sharpening the Saw means having a balanced program for self-renewal in the four areas of your life: physical, social/emotional, mental, and spiritualFeeling good doesnt just happen.   Huh, interesting.   Ever look at those happy,  energetic  and glowing Go-Getter girls in your life and just assume they were born with the it-factor?   I highly doubt that. They got the goods by maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Working out and eating right isnt about being a size 2.   Its about having a sharp mind that is ready to take on all the challenges that life as a twentysomething entails.   Make  a healthy lifestyle  part of your routine and a priority in your life.   The small investment in time that it requires will provide benefits fivefold. How has working out and eating right helped you in your own life? Do you find that it boosts your mood and makes you more productive?   Have you seen your relationships improve as a result of maintaining a healthy lifestyle?

5 Social Recruiting Worries Holding You Back

5 Social Recruiting Worries Holding You Back As a wise woman once said, “Do one thing everyday that scares you.” While Eleanor Roosevelt firmly believed in confronting our fears, it’s pretty unlikely that she was talking about recruiting. Let’s face it: as social media becomes intrinsic to job seeking and hiring, some recruiters are entering uncharted territory â€" and it can be intimidating. Even after you’ve gathered the courage to begin, it’s hard to know what’s fair game on social media and where to go from there. While it might be scary, social media offers tremendous advantages if recruiters are willing to take the risk. According to a recent Jobvite survey, 73 percent of recruiters have made successful hires through social media, and 59 percent of recruiters think candidates found through social networks are of the “highest quality.” With so many recruiting opportunities on social media, you can’t afford to let your fears hold you back. Here’s a look at five common worries that drive social recruiting paranoia, and why they’re not worth the stress: Worry #1: You have no clue where to start: If starting your social strategy from scratch feels daunting, you’re certainly not alone. As with any new venture, it’s often easier to stick to your guns and avoid a potential flop. But now is not the time for inaction. Over 90 percent of companies use platforms like Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook to recruit candidates â€" can you afford to be one of the 10 percent that don’t? Didn’t think so. If your recruiting team is serious about social media, start by building a plan and setting realistic goals. Try one-, three- and six-month plans, so you’re not biting off more than you can chew. And remember, every social network is different: for example, while 86 percent of job seekers prefer Facebook, only 66 percent of recruiters use Facebook to find and source candidates. Do your research, and make sure you’re using the social networks that will help you achieve your objectives. Worry #2: You might post jobs incorrectly: Naturally, a large portion of any successful social recruiting strategy involves sharing open requisitions and getting the word out. But the mechanics of posting can be fuzzy â€" what if you duplicate posts, forget to give candidates a way to respond or post in the wrong spot? Having a plan in place can solve these dilemmas. Determine all your basics upfront, including which jobs will be shared on social, how often to post and which social networks you’ll target. Then you can focus your energy on leveraging your networks to reach new audiences. Encourage employees to share jobs with their connections to help expand your reach. And don’t forget to track and measure progress so you know your strategy is working. Worry #3: You’ll misrepresent your employment brand: If you’re like most recruiters, employment brand is on your mind â€" and if you don’t get it right, you could miscommunicate the culture and vision behind your company. But whether you like it or not, your employment brand already exists on social media, so it’s up to you to bring real insight to the conversation. If you want to attract candidates that fit with your company’s culture and objectives, building your brand on social media is key. Just as a marketer does with their products, recruiters must carefully curate their brand presence across networks to cultivate interest in your company. Make sure you know what kind brand your company wants to convey to prospective candidates, Then, make sure this translates to your social tone. Worry #4: You’ll drown out other company messages on social media: Let’s say your company already posts on social networks about products, webinars or partnerships. While you might be afraid to add another cook to the social kitchen, there are ways around making too much noise. Don’t force job seekers to weed through your company’s account to find the hiring-related posts. Set up dedicated recruiting profiles on each network, so you can prevent mixed messages and help candidates get to what they’re looking for quicker. But make sure your posts are unique and interesting â€" candidates identify with brands that have a personality, so make sure yours comes across loud and clear. Worry #5: You’re too busy to give this the real attention it deserves: If you don’t feel like you’re being pulled in ten different directions, you’re probably not a recruiter. How can anyone on your recruiting team have the time to own a social recruiting strategy? Unfortunately, automatic posting looks fake in today’s social-fueled world: according to a recent Glassdoor survey, 95 percent of job seekers expect openness and transparency from any company they are evaluating. Believe it or not, you can meet expectations on social media without sacrificing your schedule â€" or your sanity. Try scheduling out content a week in advance, and let technology worry about posting on your behalf. As long as your posts are written by a human, a computer can handle the mechanics. And don’t overdo it. Develop a cadence that makes sense for your company’s needs and is manageable for your team. While social recruiting might feel like a necessary evil, allowing your fears to fester will only do more harm than good when it comes to security quality talent. To stay competitive in today’s crowded job market, you time to face your fears and embrace social recruiting in the long term. Author:  Kimberley Kasper, CMO of Jobvite

Networking and other horrors overcoming common graduate fears

Networking and other horrors overcoming common graduate fears If you are a recent graduate or finalist asking yourself that all-important question, ‘what am I supposed to do now?’  take solace in knowing that you are not the only one feeling this way. Rest assured, it’s not a time to panic. Guest blogger Lucy Farrington-Smith from Inspiring Interns offers advice on some important aspects of career planning.     What is Networking? It can be a frightening word at first glance. Attending events with the intention to gain exposure in your chosen industry, to build connections, relationships, and hopefully a job lead or two â€" it’s a big jump from the safety of your university life, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. How on earth do you network effectively without coming across as needy and desperate? Or, on the other hand, without peacocking your achievements and being unbearable? A little research will bring up a lot of useful advice, most notably from Forbes. They suggest that, if possible, ‘start networking before you need it’. Not only will this help you garner confidence in business networking, but it will set up vital leads and relationships for you further down the line come graduation. If it’s too late to do this, don’t worry â€" find out where local networking events are happening, and get stuck in. There’s no time like the present. Go prepared, treat it like an interview. Know your strengths, your skill-set, and what you can offer an employer. Brush up on your achievements and be ready to dazzle them. But there’s just one caveat to that… Don’t Go in with a pushy and arrogant demeanour You don’t want to be a wallflower, but in the same breath you don’t want to come across as arrogant. You will be in a pool of like-minded and similarly-skilled graduates, and if it falls down to your personality being the decider between you and another candidate, don’t let your demeanour be your detriment. The Guardian suggest ways to conduct a mutually beneficial meeting. Asking genuine, inquisitive questions, ‘What advice would you offer to someone coming into this business for the first time’  for example, shows that you are honestly seeking guidance. Be vocal about your achievements but keep it humble. How you would feel in a recruiter’s shoes â€" do you really think they want to hear the same speech over and over? Take the time to work out what is different and individual about your skills, and be ready to offer your unique quality. Overcoming and coping with imposter syndrome   This is a common fear â€" not being able to talk about your genuine and well-earned accomplishments for fear of being exposed as a ‘fraud’. Unless you are blatantly lying on your CV, you have no reason to be scared. It can be hard to talk about yourself when networking, but it’s absolutely essential to overcome this fear to succeed. If you do suffer from this syndrome, you’re not alone â€" there are plenty of high achieving celebrities experiencing it (Tina Fey and Sheryl Sandberg, to name but two as reported by The Huffington Post). The article continues to affirm that you should ‘own your confidence’, and a tried-and-tested way to accomplish this is to be ‘authentic and accept that you don’t need to know everything’. Most of the pressure we feel is applied by none other than ourselves, and by accepting that you can’t and won’t know everything at once helps to ease the fear. Be proud of what you do know, and what you have already achieved â€" and then let the rest build up naturally as you mature in your career. Getting the Confidence to Network within Gender-Imbalanced Industries There are no two-ways about this â€" it’s intimidating to get your voice heard in a gender-imbalanced room full of strong personalities, none more so than in the tech industry. There are pushes to get women into male-dominated sectors (Karlie Kloss’s coding, for example), but at the moment, reports from the Commission for Employment and Skills say that the logistics sector employ ‘1.45 million people, and less than a quarter of them are female’. The time to change is now. No industry is off-limits, regardless of your gender. Use it as leverage, and not as an intimidating, off-putting fact. You are as qualified and as capable as the next person, and your gender shouldn’t come into it. Hold your head high, and stand your ground â€" after all, you have worked/will have worked for three consecutive years (if not more) to gain your degree, and your time to shine is now. And no-one can take that away from you. Inspiring Interns help companies find intern and career starters across a variety of industries
