Career Funnel Is Upside Down

Career Funnel Is Upside Down
Sam Welch

There’s some recent research focused on a trend called “career funneling”
 that really sparked my interest.  The research started with the understandingthat graduates
are “funneling” into the same consulting, finance and tech fields.  But why?
According to Amy J. Binder, professor of sociology at University of California at San Diego,
a lot of the blame rests with the colleges and universities.  
And, as a director of a career center….I agree with her!
At elite institutions across the nation, students go to career centers to be helped through
the process of evaluating and understanding their ideal career path. Oftentimes they’re also a place to connect with folks from various industries to learn about careers and jobs.  
But, Professor Binder argues, what many colleges are doing is bringing the same types of recruiters again and again, fostering a self-fulfilling prophecy of like-begetting-like.  
What’s more, she points out, the most sophisticated firms create a perception
of being the most highly coveted and prestigious, thus attracting the best talent.  
While I agree with much of what she points out, I think very little of the blame for this rests
with the companies that are doing the recruiting.  These companies are doing what they should—using every means possible to attract the best talent.  Having recently come from one of
“those companies,” this is exactly what I would expect from my talent team.  
If we wanted to win in the market, I wanted the best talent!  

The real issue is, I believe, two-fold:  1) colleges need to do a much better job of exposing students to a real breadth of career choices,  and 2) students need to be more well-informed
about who they are at their core, and where this might take them from a career perspective.  
It’s incumbent on us to help students remove their blinders, and expose them to the world
of possibilities in career choices. We need to turn the career funnel upside down.  

So how do we fix this trend?  As I’ve said before, it starts with the student knowing themselves,
and knowing what they want.  Both students and career centers need to focus
on the individual’s pursuit of their passion.   
A “prestigious” job is not necessarily the job that will make you happy.  
And, a 30 year career has taught me that “prestige” is very much in the eye of the beholder. 
But, beyond that, a large part of this rests with career centers.  
It’s our job to help a robust and diverse group of employers all portray themselves
as “prestigious”....for the right student.  We need to expose students to a breadth of opportunities, and help these employers position themselves with students 
who may be uniquely happy with that specific career choice.
 As these employers know, it’s in their best interest to hire the employee that aligns
with their mission, vision and values, and who will be truly passionate about what they do. 
To help students find their future, we can’t allow them to follow the trend towards funneled jobs. Speaking from experience, being truly happy in the right job is a lot more impressive 
than being miserable in the job that everyone thinks is “cool.”  
We need to turn this career funnel upside down.

Follow These 6 Rules to Accomplish More Each Day

Common mallow.

Follow These 6 Rules to Accomplish More Each Day
Clay Clark

Have you ever noticed some people are able to stay organized while getting a massive quantity
of work accomplished, while others appear to be busy but never actually produce results?
Time management is the key to becoming a successful entrepreneur. We can have all of the best ideas in the world, but if we do not have a system to get our tasks completed, we will fail.
Here are six rules for getting your most important tasks finished each day:
Related: The Secret to Mastering Productivity

1. Keep a day timer.
If you don’t know where you are supposed to be and when you are supposed to be there,
how will you ever get anything accomplished?  Keep a day timer so you know where 
you are supposed to be and when. Whether this system is in a tangible, printed version
or on your mobile device, by having a day timer you can stay organized throughout the day.

2. Have a to-do list.
If you can’t remember what you need to do, it becomes hard to accomplish anything.
Your to-do list should include items that need to be accomplished for the month, the week
and each day. You must then ask yourself how much time you need to block off to achieve each task. Time blocking allows you to minimize distractions and to maximize your efficiency
as you work to complete this list. By creating and maintaining one central “to-do list,”
you will increase the amount of tasks you will complete throughout the day.

3. Avoid distractions.
With all of the electronic devices at your disposal and being plugged into social media,
you are bound to get distracted.  To avoid going down the rabbit hole,
you must set aside a specific time to complete certain tasks.
Related: 15 Ways to Overcome Procrastination and Get Stuff Done (Infographic)

I coach countless entrepreneurs who used to run through their days answering every email,
text message and social-media request immediately and treating all things with the same sense of urgency. Nothing can kill concentration more than working on an important task
and stopping every five minutes to respond to the latest email or text that is sent to you.
By time blocking you not only decrease the time it takes to complete each task
 but your quality of work will increase.

4.  Write your big ideas in a "dream catcher" book.
You never know when you will have that once in a lifetime big idea that has the potential
to change the way you do business or launch the creation of a new business.
You should keep a “dream catcher book” or journal with you at all times so you can “catch” the idea the very moment that the thought comes to you. Writing ideas down will save you time
when you are ready to launch your next business idea and enable you to move on to the next project instead of getting caught daydreaming the afternoon away.

5. Be careful who mentors you.
When someone starts to give you advice, look at the fruit they have in that area of their life
before you blindly accept their opinions as truth. Who are you letting speak into your life
about your business? Find a mentor who has been successful in the area you want to achieve
more success in and listen to them. A mentor guiding you will save you from spending
the majority of your time making mistakes and having to re-correct your course of action.

6. Don’t let your emotions get in the way.
It's important not to allow your emotions to get in the way of your motions.
To be successful in the workplace, you have to be able to set aside your emotions and to focus
on the action steps you need to take. Otherwise, you may get in a cycle of procrastination,
because you really don't feel like tackling a project, task or talking to a person.
And this could slow down the momentum of your business. Decide to do the things you need to do even when you don’t want to do them and you will go from barely surviving to thriving in business. Don’t let your emotions get in the way of your business and slow down your progress.

3 Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your Virtual Assistant


3 Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your Virtual Assistant
A J Agrawal

When you’re just starting your company, you never have enough time on your hands.
If used correctly, virtual assistants may be the answer you’ve been looking for.
When I started trying to move my company from the founding stages to the growth stage,
I noticed my schedule became slammed. New challenges popped up, and I had even less time
to do the old tasks I was responsible to handle. Also, the other members of my team
had become overloaded with new work as well, so I couldn’t delegate to them.
After much research and deliberation, I turned to virtual assistants.
Here are some of the lessons I’ve learned working with a virtual assistant
and some advice on the best way to use them to help your business:
Related: 3 Mistakes to Avoid When Working With a Virtual Assistant

1. Interview before hiring.
You should treat hiring a virtual assistant the same as bringing on another member of your team. There are plenty of virtual assistants out there, but the quality differs greatly. 
For starters, make sure the company you are working with only gives you assistants 
who know your language. Too many headaches will arise and too much time will be wasted working with someone who does not speak your native tongue.
Second, make sure you ask for a resume before the interview.
Look for experience that shows they are motivated and pay attention to details.  
Third, when you interview the potential hire, make sure you ask them to let you know
why they want to work for your company. To get the best work from them, 
they need to understand and believe in your company’s mission. A great exercise you can do is ask them to send you at least 20 reasons why they want to work for your company in 24 hours after you interview them. This assignment is great, because it will tell you 
so much about the candidate. Did they stick to 20or did they go above and beyond? Did they just make the deadline or was it turned in before time? Were the answers formatted properly? Once you find a virtual assistant who goes above and beyond on the assignment, 
you’re ready to bring them on board.

2. Organization and instruction are key.
One of the common mistakes with working virtual assistants is that they misinterpret the task.
To mitigate the chances of that happening, layout exactly what needs to be done.
For instance, we use virtual assistants to generate leads for our company. If we’re asking them to go on social media, we’ll go through step-by-step how we want them to reach out to clients.
This starts with what time they should login, complete the task and log out.
One thing to check is how much time it’s taking for your virtual assistant 
to complete assignments. When you make sure you over communicate, 
you greatly improve their productivity.

3. Allow them to learn new skills.
As with any member of your team, you want your virtual assistant to grow with your company. You’ll find that virtual assistants love working on tasks that teach them new skills 
and allows them to grow. To promote this,
try assigning more creative tasks to your virtual assistants once you get to know them.
An interesting move I’ve made with our virtual assistants is asking them their opinion 
on decisions. What I’ve noticed is that when I do this, they feel special because I am asking their advice on something. This causes them to go above and beyond, doing research and analysis
before getting back to me with an answer. With some of our virtual assistants,
I’ll even ask them what they are most interested in learning.
Once I know that, I will try assigning tasks that correlate with what they want to learn.
Over time, the closer you get to your virtual assistant,
the more you’ll see them as a member and asset to your team.

Magical Thinking vs. Sociological Reasoning

Ivy-leaved toadflax.

Magical Thinking vs. Sociological Reasoning
 Karen Sternheimer

A student of a colleague had failed a course after rarely attending and not completing
several assignments. The ones he did complete were poorly done; he did not see the instructor
in office hours despite repeated invitations to talk about improving his grade during the course.
He earned 25 out of 100 points in the course, and perhaps unsurprisingly, an F.
But to my colleague’s surprise, the student emailed after seeing his final grade, 
asking if there was any way he could earn a C in the course 
(which typically requires 70%, well above his 25%).
Maybe the instructor added incorrectly?
After writing back with a detailed explanation of the breakdown of his grade,
the instructor also reminded him that the class had in fact ended,
and that he could no longer complete work for the course to earn more points.
This is an example of magical thinking, the notion that things we want will happen
without connection to actual events or in this case, despite a lack of effort.
In her book The Year of Magical Thinking, author Joan Didion describes coping with grief 
after the death of her husband, whom she imagined would return and need his shoes 
and his cell phone. But she knew this was not going to happen, 
and her book was about coping with the pain of this loss.
Within magical thinking, conventional notions of cause and effect are disregarded in favor
of what we might also call wishful thinking, or hoping that what we want to happen
will happen simply because we want it to happen.
Sociological reasoning is very different. Thinking sociologically requires us to look 
for connections between events—although not always causal connections—
based on empirical evidence, or events that we observe. 
Sociologists often use quantitative data to assess probability,
or the likelihood of an event occurring based on the events of the past.
Perhaps this is why it is so frustrating when students in sociology courses overlook
the most basic causal relationship between their assignment grades and their final grades.
As sociologists, we learn how to ask questions (see these previous posts on asking sociological questions) in order to find out more about the connections between events,
sometimes about those that are not obviously related. 
Part of developing a sociological imagination is recognizing that patterns exist 
between our individual lives and the broader world around us.
But students aren’t the only ones who engage in magical thinking.
Nearly everyone does this when events feel beyond our control.
Unfortunately, policy makers sometimes disregard the connections between events as well.
For instance, we might make funding decisions without recognizing the obvious consequences
to these actions. When funding for public education is cut to balance state budget shortfalls,
the outcomes might include hiring fewer instructors, paying instructors less, increasing class sizes, reducing course offerings, reducing enrollment, or increasing tuition at the college level.
No one likes tax increases, and those affected certainly don’t like fee hikes, tuition increases,
or pay cuts. But these are all likely results unless we want to reduce
who has access to higher education, not to mention the quality of higher education as well.
This has been a particular problem in California, 
which has the country’s largest public college system. 
One campus has seen its enrollment increase by nearly 13 percent over a five year period,
as more people seek higher education to improve their job prospects in the wake
of the Great Recession. The Los Angeles Times reported that:
Campus officials say they lack funding to hire enough full-time faculty to meet needs
while facing surging numbers of applications from out-of-area transfer students
and qualified high school graduates. The system received more than 790,000 applications
for fall 2015, a number greater than the population of North Dakota.
Community colleges in the state also face more demand than funding can keep up with,
so starting at a two-year school isn’t an easy option either. 
As the Times reported in 2012,  some community colleges are so over crowded that students can only enroll in one class at a time:
It's a product of years of severe budget cuts and heavy demand in the two-year college system.
The same situation has affected the Cal State and UC systems, but the impact has been most deeply felt in the 2.4-million-student community college system — the nation's largest.
At Pasadena City College, nearly 4,000 students who are seeking a degree or to transfer
are taking a single class this fall. About 63% are taking less than 12 units
and are considered part time. The school has slashed 10% of its classes to save money.
And yet high school students are routinely encouraged to work hard and go to college—
often by the same politicians who were complicit in these budget cuts—
only to find a barrier preventing interested students from enrolling. Beyond a personal problem,
a less educated workforce can prevent economic growth and create a glut of low wage workers
with too few jobs to go around while other fields have too few qualified candidates.
Sociological reasoning requires us to think about the relationship between social action
and the effects of these actions. Can you think of any other examples of magical thinking
that would benefit from sociological reasoning?

How Jack Ma Overcame His 7 Biggest Failures

Perennial cornflower.

How Jack Ma Overcame His 7 Biggest Failures
Alp Mimaroglu

Right now, Jack Ma is 51 and worth $23.3 billion off a $150 billion IPO -- the largest in history.
Yet Jack Ma once made $12 per month as an English teacher (though he was still happy).
His achievements are practically unbelievable considering his meager, humble beginnings. Along the way, he failed more times (and more spectacularly) 
than most of us could stomach in a lifetime.
Here are seven ways Jack Ma experienced soul-crushing failure, 
but managed to keep his optimism, just like his hero, Forrest Gump. He...

1. Didn’t give up after failing many exams at school.
Jack Ma was not a good student. In fact, he almost didn’t get into middle school.
"I failed a key primary school test two times, I failed the middle school test three times,
I failed the college entrance exam two times…” Ouch.
These are things most of us are lucky enough to have never said to our parents.
But surprisingly, Jack’s not alone. There’s a tradition of other great minds, including Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill, and Abraham Lincoln (along with Forrest Gump) struggled 
early in life with academics but going on to do great things.

2. Scored 1 out of 120 points on the math portion of his college entrance exam.
Failing is one thing. Getting a score of less than 1 percent on your college entrance exam
is something else completely. And it wasn’t because he didn’t have time to prepare.
To this day, Jack Ma struggles with mathematics, despite the fact that Alibaba is a tech company.
To quote Ma: “I am not good at math, have never studied management,
and still cannot read accounting reports."
But as it turns out, he never needed to be good at math to become a billionaire.
Perhaps even more impressive is that he never heard the word “computer” in his childhood.

3. Wasn’t deterred after being rejected from Harvard 10 times.
It’s not so much that being rejected from Harvard 10 times is surprising, it’s that he bothered applying that many times in the first place. What this shows us is that Jack Ma
is the paradigm of persistence. “The very important thing you should have is patience.”
He also went to the aptly named Hangzhou Normal University, 
where he went on to become an English major.

4. Stayed optimistic after being turned down for 30 jobs.
After graduating from college, he applied to 30 different jobs
and was subsequently rejected by all of them.
He even applied to be a police officer. But they didn’t even give him the time of day,
rejecting him with three simple words: “You’re no good.”
Fortunately, just like his favorite movie hero, Forrest Gump, Jack kept on running.
 "Today is cruel. Tomorrow is crueler. And the day after tomorrow is beautiful."

5. Was the only interviewee (out of 24) rejected by KFC.
Out of 24 KFC applicants in his pool, 23 were hired. Jack Ma was the only one to be rejected.
He attributes this largely to his lack of good looks and short stature.
His wife, Zhang Ying (who married him before he became wealthy), 
doesn’t mind his appearance. “Ma Yun is not a handsome man,
but I fell for him because he can do a lot of things handsome men cannot do.”
Related: How Alibaba's Jack Ma Became the Richest Man in China

6. Couldn’t convince Silicon Valley to fund Alibaba.
Even after he started Alibaba, he suffered multiple failures. It wasn’t profitable the first three years. In the beginning, they expanded too fast and almost imploded when the dot-com bubble burst.  At one point, Alibaba was just 18 months away from bankruptcy.
As Jack Ma humbly notes: “I call Alibaba ‘1,001 mistakes.’”

7. Told his 18 Alibaba partners that none of them could be execs.
In one of the worst financial and motivational decisions a CEO can make,
Jack Ma told the 18 partners (contributing capital for a total of $60,000 USD), 
that none could rise higher than the rank of manager. 
His plan was to instead hire outside managers.
This, he notes, was his biggest mistake ever. 
“The lessons I learned from the dark days at Alibaba are that you've got to make your team have value, innovation, and vision.”

If at first you don’t succeed...
Jack Ma is a classic rags-to-riches story, but even more impressive than his fabulous wealth
is his uncanny level of persistence. He is proof that no series of failures 
(despite how cripplingly depressing) can keep someone from achieving their dreams.
As Jack says: “If you don’t give up, you still have a chance. Giving up is the greatest failure.”
