The Worthiest Cause for Job Seekers in Israel

The Worthiest Cause for Job Seekers in Israel 2 The Generous December group writing project is taking time out to recognize notable charities, social causes or otherwise helpful organizations. When it comes to finding jobs in Israel in 2007, the non-profit champion is Israemploy. What is Israemploy? Chaim Fox-Emmett founded the Israemploy charity in 2002 as a mailing list of Israeli job listings in English. In March 2006 after a year in development, his team replaced the mailing list with Israemploy.net and its many services for job seekers, employers, charities and other organizations with recruiting needs. How does Israemploy find you work? Any job seeker can use the Israemploy search engine to find listings, but only paid members â€" donors to the charity â€" can view the full job descriptions and contact information during the initial 7-10 days after a position was posted on the site. A nice touch for registered users of the website (free or paid) is that you can subscribe to the RSS feed for the results of any customized search so that you can follow personalized additions to the Israemploy job database via your favorite feed reader. If your inbox still has room you might prefer email alerts instead, and you can do that too.eval Why do I like Israemploy? Most of the staff are volunteers and work for Israemploy from around the globe, not just in Israel Israemploy.net is very practical and easy to use while catering to both English and Hebrew speakers Since Israemploy is a charity, your membership dues are deductible from your income taxes while selflessly paying for Israemploy to continue helping other people find jobs too. It's win-win. Try it out at Israemploy.net.

Sweat With Kayla App Review and Insights From Ms Career Girl All it takes is 28 minutes a day. Stick with it for 12 weeks and you can slip into that Bikini that was hiding in the farthest part of your closet among discarded clothes that wouldn’t fit anymore. With just 28 minutes of your time, Kayla Itsines promises to change the way you look, feel and live your life. And changed she has. Millions of women have successfully changed their bodies with the Bikini Body Guide. If you were always curious about those jaw-dropping transformation photos, but found the program to be a tad over expensive for your liking, then there’s news. The Bikini Body Guide has a new home. It’s called ‘Sweat with Kayla’ and it’s an amazing mobile application that’s available on Android and iOS. Considering that the entire BBG community, or cult, if we were to call it that, is in the online world, it makes sense to come up with a mobile app that lets users get access to any of the old guides, get access to the new and updated BBG 3.0 and plan and program their nutrition, on-the-fly with their smartphones. That’s what the Kayla Itsines App brings to the table. Before going any further in this Sweat With Kayla review, you can also read about my experience with Sweat With Kayla over here. What is Sweat with Kayla App About? For starters, it is ‘the most’ user-friendly fitness app that you will ever use. It is like a single-point access to all of Kayla Itsines’ BBG workouts from the past and the ones that are about to be released soon. (Can’t wait for BBG 4.0) The Sweat with Kayla App allows newbies to start with the BBG 1.0 program and progress their way into the second version and then the third iteration which is more advanced and more effective. You can also start at any week of the program if you have already completed a part of it earlier. Each day, at a preset time, the workout for the day will pop-up on screen, reminding you that it’s time to start torching fat. But just to let you know that it’s not just a glorified schedule planner, the Kayla Itsines app lets you choose from four different types of workouts. There’s resistance training circuits which can be selected for each body part or for the full body, there’s LISS (Low Intensity Steady State) workouts, there’s HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) and rehabilitation (full body stretching which helps reduce fatigue and prevent injury). You can choose any of these workouts if you are looking to customize the program to your liking. Or, you can just go with the schedule. From time to time, Kayla throws bonus challenges at you which will test your limits. Then there’s the nutrition module that allows you to plan, monitor and tailor your diet to be attuned to your workout routine. Existing members of the BBG guide can get access to the 12 week plan at just $1 for 12 weeks. For new members, the app costs $19.99 a month and you will be billed for 3 months at one go. Considering that fitness apps are dime a dozen, what value does the Sweat with Kayla app give a discerning shopper? Let’s find out. How can the Sweat with Kayla App Help a busy Career Woman like You? One of the main reasons why career women are unable to stick to an exercise plan is lack of time and access. If zipping between various chores and switching seamlessly from one role to another wasn’t tough enough, having to constantly carry workout literature or logging on to the internet on a desktop PC isn’t the most feasible option for many. That’s where the Kayla Itsines app will help you. It is a portable way to carry your workouts with you anywhere you travel around the world. All you need is an internet connection and you can pick up from where you left off. It is extremely convenient and eliminates the need for carrying tons of prints with you every time. Also, you no longer have to go and refer to the printed data to know which exercise to perform. Every exercise is preloaded in the app and it times it for you. If you wish to accelerate or go slower, you can pause and do it according to your own preferences. For more advanced users of the Bikini Body Guide, there’s the option to toggle between the various workouts and select it. You are not limited by the lack of printouts. Everything from BBG 1.0 to 3.0 is on your fingertips. Then there’s the bonus challenges that Kayla keeps adding to the app from time to time. On the nutrition front, there is an elaborate list of groceries and common food items that can be used to create a tailored diet plan that you can stick with. It takes the guess work out of it. You know what foods to eat and at what time. The Sweat with Kayla app can help you to make fitness a habit that you are comfortable with, rather than a temporary fad that you will bounce off from.

Interview with NY Times Bestselling Author Ori Brafman - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

Interview with NY Times Bestselling Author Ori Brafman - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career Today, I spoke with Ori Brafman, who is the New York Times bestselling author of Sway. We spoke about how people are swayed to make the wrong decisions, what influences our professional and personal lives and value attribution, which is how much value your employer places on your head. I hope this conversation sways you to make some better career moves ?? Ori, in general, why do people make the decisions that they do, whether in business or in their personal lives? Ideally, we want to make decisions based on sound reason and concrete data. But of course, thats not always the case, especially when theres a lot on the line or when were feeling stressed. Thats when we become increasingly more vulnerable to the influence of a host of psychological forces that makes us more likely to act irrationally. And by irrational I mean choices that are not in our best interest. This process is largely unconscious. We dont even realize were getting swayed. Then in hindsight we look back and ask, What was I thinking? How come I made that decision? And what we talked about in the book is that it happens to all of us, even the best trained professionals. What are is one dynamic force that influence our personal and business lives? One of the most powerful and intriguing forces is what economists call loss aversion: peoples tendency to feel the pain associated with a loss twice as intensely as the joy ascribed to an equivalent-sized gain. In other words, were much more sensitive to losses than we are to gains. In the book we tell the story of airline pilot Captain Jacob Van Zanten, who was the head of safety at KLM airlines. Van Zanten was flying a routine international flight from Holland to the Canary Islands, when he was told he had to land in a small island airport because his original destination airport was closed down for the moment. Van Zantens plane, along with several others, landed in a small local airport. Van Zanten knew perfectly well that unless he could get his plane back in the sky soon, he would be stuck on the ground overnight. Thats because the crews mandated rest period (legislated by Dutch law) was coming up. Staying grounded would be a logistical nightmare. Besides dealing with flight delays, there werent enough hotel rooms to accommodate all of the passengers. So Van Zanten was determined to do everything he could to get his plane airborne. The potential loss associated with the logistical delays hung heavy on Van Zantens mind. When Van Zanten was finally issued clearance to take off, he noticed that the fog was beginning to roll into airport. Acting fast to dig himself out of a hole, Van Zanten decided to take off, not realizing that he had not been issued clearance from the tower. Unfortunately, when Van Zantens plane was gaining speed on the runway he saw the scariest sight imaginable: there was another plane parked on the runway. Van Zanten tried to avoid it by taking off early, but the two planes collided, resulting in the greatest air crash disaster in aeronautical history. Van Zanten was so preoccupied with doing whatever he could to avoid a loss that he made a huge rookie mistake. And thats what happens to us when we experience loss aversion. We go into one of two extremes: either we overreach and take on greater risks in order to make up for the initial loss, or we become completely paralyzed and unable to take on any action. You see that with the stock market, that investors either frantically trade to make up for losses or just get that deer-in-the-headlights look trying to digest whats going on. Its really difficult to remain collected when theres a nagging loss tugging at you. Why do we listen to advice just because it came from someone important? Its called value attribution, our tendency to ascribe high value to something that is highly prized or priced. Theres a story about Nathans Famous Hotdogs, that when he first sold them on Coney Island the going rate was 10 cents. But he wanted to undercut the competition so he decided to make top-notch hotdogs from the finest ingredients, but sell them for only 5 cents. Well, no one bothered to buy them. Everyone was suspicious. People thought, If hes pricing them that low, there must be something wrong with them. I wonder what ingredients he uses. Well, Nathan came up with a marvelous solution. He recruited doctors, dressed in white coats, come and eat his hotdogs, and then people said, OK, if doctors are eating these, then they must be fine. So, yes, its important to pay attention to the source, but we usually pay too much attention. Can you explain how some of your theories apply to peoples careers? For instance, why do most job seekers have a tough time getting interviews or the positions they desire? Again, it comes down to value attributionâ€"what value employers put on potential candidates. It turns out that managers are terrible at conducting job interviews. They rely on irrelevant data, and ignore all data that contradicts their initial “diagnosis.” The thing to remember is that we can affect what “value attribution” people ascribe to us. And in the long run, that makes a huge difference. Your book is a NY Times bestseller. What went into your promotional plan and what obstacles did you endure along the way? I think of audiences in terms of verticals (e.g. entrepreneurs, general readers, HR professionals, etc.) Once you segment the likely readers, the question is how to best reach them. Traditional media, of course, plays a huge role. But so does word of mouth, and so do specialty blogs/newsletters that may not have huge readershipsâ€"but that appeal directly to the specific audience. I find that it’s surprising what verticals end up being drawn to a specific book. You have to be open to the fact that a book might reach an unlikely audience.

How to Help Your Candidates Create a Resume for the 21st Century

How to Help Your Candidates Create a Resume for the 21st Century Being a recruiter is a job that requires that you put a solid amount of work into preparing your candidates for the highly dynamic job market. In recent years, there has been a considerable shift which has affected each and every industry. Thus, new job positions are opening while others are slowly vanishing, and others are being fundamentally redesigned. What makes the labor market so different today? Life is constantly evolving, and we are all witnesses to new discoveries in medicine, technology, and other sectors every day. Bringing these innovations to the different industries changes the way companies function; physical labour is being quickly replaced by machines, for instance. As we can predict, a large part of the drivers influencing industries will eventually reflect on the job marketâ€"either by creating new occupations or causing job displacement. We can also expect that instead of improving labour productivity, businesses will need to focus on upgrading workers’ skill set because of the fast pace of skill evolution happening. An interesting fact is that the most in-demand positions appeared only five to ten years ago. It is estimated that 65% of children entering primary school in 2017 will end up occupying jobs that don’t exist today, according to World Economic Forum. In such a rapidly developing employment climate, the capability to prepare for future skill requirements is essential for companies, governments, and people in order to entirely embrace the opportunities brought on by these new trendsâ€"and to mitigate any undesirable results. Which are the 21st century essential job skills? All the trends and disruptions shaping modern business models are expected to require an adjustment to certain skill sets for key job functions in the different industries. On one hand, companies might need to qualify employees with the skills required to embrace new work opportunities. On the other hand, it is also important to avoid losing competitiveness due to the erosion of current employees’ existing skill sets. Due to the different business models and different combinations of trends and disruptions prevalent in each industry, the same drivers of change may be felt differently industry to industry. For example, in the consumer industry the main driver of change is the changing nature of work, while climate change is a dominating factor shaping the energy and transportation industries. These speak for a society that is more concerned about subjects such as equality and sustainability. Beyond hard skills and formal qualifications, employers are often equally interested in the work-related, practical skills or competences that current employees are capable of in order to perform certain tasks successfully. WEF’s report ‘Future of Jobs’ focuses on a core set of work-related skills valued across all industry sectors as well as the job families originating from the same classification. The skills are divided into two main groups: basic skillsâ€"which include content and process skillsâ€"and cross-functional skillsâ€"social, systems, complex problem solving, resource management, and technical skills. Although many jobs involve a wide variety of skills, the skill set combinations in demand in different industries are quite divergent. It is estimated that by 2020, more than 33% of the core skill sets for most positions will include skills not yet considered essential. Speaking about differences at an industry-level, the most changes are expected to happen in the Financial Services Investors sector, while the least are forecasted to be in Media, Entertainment Information. In order to help candidates create a résumé that will stand out in the 21st century, recruiters need to be familiar with the upcoming trends in core job skill set and potential occupations. The infographic below by Market Inspector presents, in an easy and structured way, all the important information you need to know to prepare your candidates to seize their dream job.

Happiness at work and balls - The Chief Happiness Officer Blog

Happiness at work and balls - The Chief Happiness Officer Blog Im not a huge fan of employee satisfaction surveys for a number of reasons: They measure job satisfaction, which, to me, is not what matters. What matters is happiness. Theyre no fun. Filling out 50 (or more) questions in an online survey is a chore not something people enjoy. Theyre so time consuming that companies typically perform them once a year. But what good is knowing how happy employees are once a year? What if theyre really unhappy now, and the next survey is still 7 months away? So how DO you measure happiness at work? This is exactly the question British social media agency Nixon McInnes were asking themselves: According to recent studies, happiness in the workplace is positively correlated with productivity, so as happiness increases, productivity follows suit, but when unhappiness gains a foothold, productivity and, ultimately, the health of the business, suffer. The first prototype, or version 0.1, has been live for a couple of months now and has provided some illuminating insight into our collective emotional condition (Tuesdays, for instance, are a regular, recurring low point in the week). So, what?s the ground-breaking technology that makes all this possible? The answer? A couple of buckets and a few dozen tennis balls. :) Exactly why not go low-tech and do it with balls. Tennis balls, that is. Every day as employees leave work they drop a ball into either the Happy or Unhappy basket. The balls are counted and the daily and weekly results are displayed on a monitor in the office: Yup thats all it takes. Its simple, so it actually gets done and its almost real-time because it presents daily data. An additional benefit is that it gives employees a chance to reflect every day on their happiness at work, which is also a good practice. Kudos! Have you tried something similar in your workplace?
