It’s been at least forty years since employees stayed with one company for all their working years. Job change is as much a part of this generation as NOT changing jobs was in the 40s and 50s. There is a great deal of growth in one’s career via temp jobs.

Today’s work environment is more high-stress than ever before and losing your employment just adds more weight to that load. The researchers at Harvard indicate that individuals with CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome induced by stress) are vulnerable for job loss because of it.
If you lose a job because of being fired, just knowing that it doesn’t hold th stigma it once did will help you maintain more equanimity. Behind that pink slip could be a golden opportunity.

Try using these six tips to accelerate your career if you’ve gotten laid off:

1. Embrace the opportunity. You were fired because you were not considered a right fit for the job. If it’s a matter of temperament, embrace the opportunity to find a job that will not make you blow your top, or one in which you can be positive. See this as a great chance to find a better opportunity for your particular skills, your career desires as well as maintaining your health and enjoying a wonderful style of living.

2. Get moving. Don’t become paralyzed at being fired. Make a “to do” list each day to a. explore jobs, b. update your resume, c. apply for jobs, d. network, c. examine what you’ve got planned for that day and e. reward yourself for not standing still. If you’re down in the blues, perhaps a close friend or some support organization will help you get ambulatory again.

3. Tighten up. It’s always wise to cut out unnecessary expenses even if you find another position early on, because a tightening will help you to make the change without stress. Cut out all but necessities. Reward yourself with free fun such as a trip to the public library, a park or by taking long walks with friends or family members.

4. Be honest. Very few people have never been fired, so don’t think you’ll never get another job. Focus on the positive results you achieved at your former job. You’ll be asked why you got laid off, so tell them your skill set didn’t work in that environment and explain what your good points are.

5. Network. It’s tried, but true. Go to professional meetings. Join associations. Make cold calls to leaders in your field, and ask for advice. You will find that your bravery will be amply rewarded, even if not immediately.

6. Think outside the box. This is the perfect time to ask yourself if you are on the right career path. Can your skills be useful in another profession that you would find more rewarding? Find four potential “outside the box” career fields, and revise the wording and focus of your resume in four different ways to fit those career requirements.

If you got a pink slip (aka were fired) or simply lost a temporary job, you’re at the edge of a great opportunity! Be sure to make the most of it.

The Best Laid Plans: Landscaped Beginnings

For some of us, it seems that as soon as the sun shows its face and the weather warms, the Great Outdoors is calling. It’s calling for a gardener’s hands. The good news is that you don’t have to be a gardener to spruce up the lawn and landscape with style – you need to be a planner.

Every great landscaped terrace, sculptured lawn, and beautifying flower garden begins with a plan. It doesn’t have to be an elaborate plan or even a colorful plan – just a plan.

If the Great Outdoors is calling and you don’t have a plan in place, here’s how to get started:

* Know that this is your chance to get creative. Decorating is not just for the interior of the home – it’s for the exterior as well.

* Begin with a wish list. What type of flowers would you like to incorporate into the landscaping? Would you like to incorporate an outdoor fountain, garden fountain, or bird bath? What type of stonework do you prefer?

* Once you have had a chance to dream, then it’s time to narrow and determine your needs. Do you need to map out a walkway for practical purposes? Is your purpose to landscape for privacy or landscape to impress the public’s view? How will your “dream” setup affect recreation, relaxation, and gardening needs and wants?

* Lastly, consider your resources. Time, effort, and money are all important factors to consider from the beginning of your initial plan to the final execution of the plan. Consider the time it will take to maintain the landscaping, flower gardens, and fountains you’ve designed. Consider your budget for the overall project, including maintenance. If cost is a crucial factor, make a list of alternatives that still promote a quality project.

Once all final “wish” list items have been finalized, it is time to make a base map of the work. It is important to map out what you have to start with. This is where accuracy, clarity, and completeness will make or break the final outcome. Try not to guess or estimate measurements – be precise. Take into account shade areas and cold spots within the yard to ensure healthy growth all year long.

While sketching out a base map, make sure that you’ve included the following specifications:

* Boundary lines and dimensions

* House measurements (scaled within the property)

* Sunlight exposure

* Utilities and easements

* Downspouts and drain systems

* Problem soil

* Existing plantings

* Views

From the beginning of the wish list to the final considerations, developing a plan in stages will save you time, money, and effort in the end. A plan prompts a homeowner to consider what could go wrong and alternatives to simplify what could ultimately be a catastrophe. Keep in mind that this is your plan and your plan alone. Now, it’s time to incorporate this dream into a reality.

How do you attract a woman, no matter what you look like, how much money you have in your bank account, what social status you have? You too can attract a woman by knowing just the right things to do, say, and how to act. Knowing how to attract a woman is the first step in making your dating life that much more pleasurable and exciting, not to mention having dates in the first place.

Of course, we all know that there has to be some sort of physical attraction between a man and a woman for the relationship to work. This attraction does not necessarily mean you have to look like one of the Chippendale dancers. This attraction can be a number of things, your eyes, your smile, the way you carry yourself, your confidence, your sense of humor, or even your really great butt.

Women want a man who is attuned to how she feels, what she says, and what she needs. They do not want a man who is so full of themselves that all they do is talk about who they are and what they do, while at the same time looking around the room in search for another beautiful woman.

Knowing how to attract a woman includes paying complete and total attention to her and only her. A woman wants a man who is completely engrossed in the moment with her that you will not even notice the other gorgeous women that are in the same room. She wants to feel like you have eyes only for her, if you can accomplish this, you will definitely have hooked the woman and you will likely continue to date her.

Additionally, in knowing how to attract a woman, you will also need to know that many women want a real and solid relationship; they are not looking to just get laid to be blunt. Most all women believe that there needs to be affection, communication, and plenty of foreplay prior to any kind of sexual activity, studies show that these types of action is more important to any woman than the man’s cute factor.

Being happy is the best way in learning how to attract a woman, a woman wants a man who is happy within this life. By being happy and having an enjoyable life a woman will be that much more attracted to you, this will cause her to believe her life will be that much more fun and interesting if you were in it. If you are unhappy with the life you are leading, you should work on it and keep it to yourself. A woman will not want to date a man who hates his life, job, parents, or himself.

In learning how to attract a woman, it is important you take to heart all of these key aspects. Doing so will help you lead a healthier and more active dating life, not to mention the sexual aspects as well.

Now let’s take a quick peak at the basics of developing rapport with others. In a nutshell, what it takes is to ask questions, have a positive, open attitude, encourage an open exchange of communications (both verbal and unspoken), listen to verbal and unspoken communications and share positive feedback. Here are a few details on each step.

Ask Questions: Building report is similar to interviewing someone for a job opening or it can be like a reporter seeking information for an article. Relax and get to know the other person with a goal of finding common ground or things of interest. You can begin by simply commenting on the other person’s choice of attire, if in person, or about their computer, if online, and following up with related questions. For example, in person, you could compliment the other person on their color choice and or maybe a pin, ring or other piece of jewelry and ask where it came from. In online communications, you could compliment the other person’s font, smile faces or whatever they use, mention that the communication style seems relaxed and ask if he or she writes a lot. Then basically follow up, steering clear of topics that could entice or cause arguing, while gradually leading the person to common ground you’d like to discuss.

Attitude: have a positive attitude and leave social labels at home (or in a drawer, if you’re at home). Many people can tell instantly if you have a negative attitude or if you feel superior. So treat other people as you would like to be treated. And give each person a chance.

Open Exchange: Do encourage others to share with you. Some people are shy, scared or inexperienced in communicating and welcome an opportunity to share. So both with body language and verbal communication invite an exchange. Face the other person with your arms open, eyes looking into theirs gently (not glaring or staring), and encourage a conversation with a warm smile.

Listen: Be an active listener. Don’t focus your thoughts on what YOU will say next. Listen to what the other person is saying and take your clues from there, while also noting the body language. For example, if the other person folds his arms and sounds upset, you may need to change the subject or let him have some space and distance; maybe even try approaching him later on and excusing yourself to go make a phone call (of head to the buffet table or somewhere to escape). On the other hand, if the other person is leaning towards you, following your every word and communicating with your as if you were old friends, BINGO. You’ve built rapport!

Share: People like compliments. So hand them out freely without over doing it. Leaving a nice part of yourself like a compliment is a good memory for the other person to recall numerous times. That’s good rapport. But do be sincere! False compliments aren’t easily disguised.
