This is a guest post by Danielle on the negotiating a relocation package. You can read the guidelines to guest posting at our write for us page.

When your company asks you to move to a new location, you face many questions. One of these is how, on your existing income, you will afford to move. To help, your company may negotiate different kinds of relocation packages with employees.

Here are some things to consider:

The Moving Company

Hiring movers is a substantial investment, and the cost of hiring a moving company is going to greatly impact your budget, especially if you have a family. This should be one of your first considerations as you negotiate a relocation package. If the company wants you to move, they should pay for the moving company’s services.

If that is not an option, ask your company to cover the costs a rental truck, gas and packing supplies such as boxes and packaging paper. It’s a less expensive alternative to hiring a moving company, but still helps foot the bill.

Cost of Living Adjustments

If you live in an area with low real estate prices, but are moving somewhere with high housing values, housing costs needs to be considered as you negotiate your relocation package. If you are selling a $200,000 house but will need to spend $500,000 to get a similar sized home in your new location, you may wish to negotiate some sort of compensation, whether it is an outright payment to cover this difference or an increase in pay. Consider asking for a cost-of-living adjustment if it will be more expensive to live in your new location.

Assistance with the Sale of Your Home

Selling your home can be a tremendous hurdle. If your company is serious about having you move, they may be willing to help with this. Assistance may include coverage of the monthly payments while your home is on the market, a takeover of the actual selling process or a price guarantee.

Temporary Lodging Costs

Even if your company is handling the sale of your home, you may need temporary lodging. If you need the proceeds from the sale of your home for the down payment on your new one, you may opt to rent until your home sells. You may also need to stay in a hotel for a few days as you wait for the moving truck to bring your belongings. These types of temporary lodging costs may be added into the relocation package.

What Not to Ask For

There are no cut and dry guidelines to what is appropriate to ask for in a relocation package. Yet, chances are you are not going to be paid simply for the task of moving. Everything you add to your proposal needs to have a reason, whether it is cost of living or the cost of the move.

Once you know what your goals are for your relocation package, approach your human resources department with a detailed data-driven proposal. Try to keep it as mutually beneficial as possible; it will improve your chances of getting a package that meets all of your needs and allows your transition to be a smooth one.

This is a guest post by Adarsh on surviving the jobless phase in your life. You can read the guidelines to guest posting at our write for us page.

Even after the big recession, getting jobs isn’t that easy anymore.

Most people, when they are fresh out of college end up as job seekers because very few colleges have good placement facilities. Even in colleges that have a lot of companies coming in, not all of the students are offered jobs.

When people are actively looking for jobs, after a month or two, they start to get frustrated. They either see their peers with nice jobs or they are under huge pressure from parents for not getting a job. All of these can negatively affect the life of the job seeker.

How to Survive the Jobless Phase of Your Life?

After months of job search, when people don’t end up with jobs, their morale goes down. They are no longer confident of their abilities and are desperate to land any job they can get. This is usually the time when most people make bad career choices.

Here are some tips to survive the jobless phase and still make the right career choice.

#1: Accept Your Situation

Most job seekers don’t try to really understand and accept their situation. They simply go on applying to any job they can find without giving proper thought to it.

The first thing you need to really do is understand what your situation is and accept the truth. Yes, you need a job. But that doesn’t rule out other possibilities like entrepreneurship, higher studies, and so on.

#2: Have Clear Goals

Every personality development guru will tell you that setting goals is absolutely essential for success. Although everyone is good at setting goals, most people never get to complete theme.

Here are some tips to set goals when hunting for jobs

• Set a goal as to how many jobs you’ll apply to each day
• Make a goal as to which companies you want to work for
• When you set goals, make sure they are specific. Don’t set a goal like I’ll apply to maximum number of jobs in a day. Provide a number like you’ll apply for 25 jobs in a day
• Your goals should be achievable. No point in setting a goal which is too difficult to accomplish. Know your limitations and set realistic goals. When it comes to a job, it matters a lot. A fresher cannot be the CEO of a Multinational Company. So play to your strengths!

#3: Be Ready to Change

If you are looking for a public sector job, you know you have to be flexible. So be ready to change if it means you’ll land up with a great job. You might be an introvert. But the job might require you to be an extrovert. In such cases, buckle up and be ready to change.

#4: Make Correct Choices

The problem with being jobless for a while is that frustration builds. When it happens, you start making the wrong choices. The trick is to keep your cool and wait patiently for the right opportunity.

If you are starting out, it’s even more important that you get started on the right track. If you choose the wrong career, chances of you having to stick with the same job is high. While you have the ability to wait it out, do so.

#5: Never Give Up

The 5^th point, and yet, the most important point is to never give up in your job search. Never give up or lose hope. There is always another opportunity waiting for you.

It’s OK to not land the best job all the time. You still have the option to move on later. It’s OK if you don’t enjoy the same salary package or facilities as your peers. All that matters is what you are capable of doing and what your end goal is.

Getting a job is not the hardest part. Getting the “right” job is!

This is a guest post by Damian on common mistakes at a job interview. You can read the guidelines to guest posting at our write for us page.

It is not uncommon to see candidates faltering at interviews, not because they were ineligible for the roles but because they did one of these common mistakes that interview candidates do.

Do not know about the company

You could start your research by visiting the website of the company and taking knowledge of press releases and general information about it. If you know in advance that you will pass the interview, do some research also on the experience of this person.

In addition, through social media like LinkedIn, it is easy to access information about the company, as the turnover rate, for example. There is therefore no excuse to attend an interview without previously obtaining a minimum of information about the company.

Having an inappropriate dress

A formal dress is more appropriate for an interview at a large company. For men, this means solid colors, a full in a hurry, tie and polished shoes. For women, a dress or a classic dark suit with jewelry are discrete implementations.

However, if you are applying for employment with a nonprofit organization or a company that focuses on creativity, a complete or a tailor might seem inappropriate and you would think that you do not understand the culture of company. In this case, adopt a rather neat casual dress, relying more on the side “neat” than “sport”. Whatever the situation, it is better to dress too dressed than not enough.

Criticizing your former boss

Do you remember when your mother said “If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing”? The same principle applies when you inevitably ask about your last employer. Small world, and who knows, the person who passed the interview may be a good friend of the boss that you just criticize.

A bad attitude or sarcastic remarks will not make you enjoy your future employers.

The same principle applies to your conduct on social media. HR departments often consult Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn to get a feel for potential employees, it would be wise of you to avoid making disparaging remarks about the company you work for now, your boss or of your colleagues.

And while you’re at it, eliminate from your social media pages on any photograph unprofessional and potentially embarrassing. What happened in Vegas should stay in Las Vegas and do not end up on your Facebook wall.

Do not ask the right questions

Consider the interview as if it were a conversation in formal after which both sides hope to achieve the same result, namely that you are considered the best candidate for the station. That said, good communication is important and if you do not ask questions, you could spend your eyes vis-à-vis as someone who is not prepared or interested. What is important is to ask good questions and describe your achievements with flying colors.

Employers are looking for enthusiastic people who can not only respond intelligently to questions asked during an interview, but also ask themselves relevant questions. Find someone – a friend, family member, a career coach or counselor job search – you will spend fictional interviews to practice your communication skills. This will help you develop relevant questions about company and position you are applying.

Too early to learn about salary and benefits

The job interview is your opportunity to shine and not to negotiate. Ask questions early in the interview about the compensation can give potential employers the impression that you care about more money than your role in the organization. The appropriate time to inform you of the salary and benefits package is when you are confident that the employer considers you a good candidate for the position and is about to make you an offer.

When that time comes, however, make sure you understand what your benefits will be. Will there a probationary period during which you will not receive benefits, such as guaranteed medical and dental expenses? If this is the case, find out if there is a way to extend the coverage you get with your current employer until your new benefits take effect. The benefits program is it comprehensive enough to meet your needs and those of your family? Otherwise, do a search and make sure that your new salary will allow you to provide additional protection.

This is a guest post by Kristie on team work at office. You can read the guidelines to guest posting at our write for us page.

Working in teams can be a difficult process, especially when the team is made up of such different personalities, talents, and opinions. However, as a team leader, it is your responsibility to make sure that work gets done as a joint effort. If managed effectively, team work can be the most valuable asset of any company or enterprise. Here are a few things to keep in mind.

Get to know all the members of your team on a personal basis.

It’s absolutely essential to get to know everyone on your team beyond what they do for you at work. Of course, you don’t need to know every personal detail of their lives, but learning each member’s interests and personalities will help you assess where their strengths and weaknesses lie so that you can assign work and roles within the team accordingly.

Identify and communicate the “higher purpose” everyone is working toward.

Any successful team must have discrete goals, but these goals must go beyond the mere means toward an end. You and the entire team must understand the ultimate end, and not just that—they must care about the ultimate end as well. If your entire team knows how their projects are going to affect the company, this will serve as immediate motivation for them to work together to achieve this higher purpose. People are motivated to work for a team when they know that the work they do together matters. If you don’t yet know what this higher purpose is, talk to your boss so that you understand how your work affects the company, and relay this information to your team.

Don’t set up any tasks that are strictly individual.

Many teams work by just having individual members do their own tasks, and then these tasks are all put together to complete the project. This is the least effective way of building a cohesive team. Instead, create tasks in which all members, in some way or another, must collaborate with one or more members. Have periodic meetings during which you talk about what you are working on, so the team understands how everything fits together.

Have fun together!

There’s a reason that many companies have team-building events, like going out to lunch, participating in sports leagues, or having happy hours. These activities build a camaraderie that is absolutely necessary for the team to work effectively. Even if the team cares about the higher purpose of their work, if they don’t care about each other, then they won’t work together.

You have every right to want a break after your eight or nine-hour work day, especially when you add in the time you spend commuting. When you get home, maybe you take care of your family, get a workout in and finally are ready to relax for a while before you get up and do the same thing tomorrow.

The last thing you feel like doing is some homework and studying, but that may be your best option if you want to get ahead. With a few semesters of hard work and dedication, you can achieve a college or graduate degree. An online program has a flexible enough schedule to let you study while you working a full-time job. If you’re on the fence about whether to continue your education, here are a few reasons that you might want to consider.

Career Potential.

A degree puts you in the elite group of highly educated Americans. Only 28 percent of American adults have a college degree, and 10 percent have a graduate degree. These Americans have more job prospects and a more impressive resume. The degree demonstrates your dedication to your field and your extra training and knowledge.

Higher education can improve your job prospects and skills so that you have more opportunities in your chosen profession. Teachers who wish to maximize the potential of their teaching careers may find that an online master degree allows the ability to continue teaching while gaining an educational upper hand.  You can attend virtual lectures and complete your coursework from remote locations as long as you have access to the Internet.

Changing jobs.

During your career, you’ll probably end up changing jobs at least a few times. At least, the average American does, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This can happen when you quit a job that you hate, you find a new job that you like or you and your family move to a new location. You may even be let go, through no fault of your own, because of company downsizing during an economic recession. Your resume is critical in your job searches, and an extra degree improves the impact of your resume.

Preparation for the future.

Let’s say that you’re a hard worker whose main concern is to have a better future for yourself and your family. You may be afraid to spend the time and tuition costs now to get an education, but it’s important to remember that education is an investment in your future. The dedication that you put in now will get you a degree that lasts forever.

Improving Your Skills

Higher education isn’t like high school, when your primary goal was to memorize material for the exam so you could get a good grade. Higher education is about specialization and practical learning. You’ll learn background knowledge to help you understand concepts, and you’ll also learn useful skills that are more specific to your career.

Improve Your Prospects

Going back to school can give help you determine what career path you want to take. If you already know, higher education can help you improve your prospects because many jobs require a college or graduate degree. While you are enrolled in school, you can also take advantage of free counseling and resources in your institution’s career service center. And taking the initiative to improve your education and burnish your credentials isn’t just good for your resume and career; it’s good for you.

This is a guest post by Victoria on the impact of a DUI on job search. You can read the guidelines to guest posting at our write for us page.

Finding a new job takes time, energy, and hard work, but when you finally get your foot in the door and secure an interview, it feels as if you have passed some of the toughest hurdles. After all, your experience, skills, and references must have been notable, or you would not have advanced to the next step in the process.

While you may be feeling encouraged at this point, there could be an unexpected glitch waiting to sabotage your job hunt.

Most companies do a background check to ensure the honesty and integrity of any applicant before sealing the deal. Most people think this will not be problematic because they have no criminal activity in their past; however, some are unaware that the driving under the influence (DUI) conviction they received 7 years ago will have serious ramifications. This dark spot on their driving record will be seen by any future employers and should be carefully handled.

The following information may be helpful to those hunting for a job with a DUI infraction in the past:

1. Disclose the DUI infraction at the first interview and make prospective employers aware of the penalties that you paid and the remorse that you feel over the incident. Be sure to include any behavioral education or counseling that you might have participated in because of the offense.
2. Contact a lawyer who is highly knowledgeable about driving under the influence charges. It is possible that he or she can find a way to have the DUI incident wiped from the record.
3. Do not waste time applying for jobs that have strong rules about hiring someone with a DUI. For example, applying for a job as a school bus driver would be futile with a DUI on record. This same principle would apply to taxi cab drivers and health care workers as well.

If you have gotten a DUI conviction in the past because you are an alcoholic, it will certainly be advisable to show that you have received treatment for this disease and have learned from your mistakes. If the incident was a one time lapse of judgment, explain the incident to the interviewer and make sure that they know you have paid the price and never plan to have such a thing happen again. Never make excuses for this crime because, to most employers, there is no excuse that makes a difference.

Although a DUI can affect many areas of your life, including your travel plans and social status, none may be more important than the effect it has on your job search. While handling this all by yourself may be cheaper, obtaining a DUI lawyer to offer counsel during this time may be the best money you could spend, and the return in the form of a good job will last for years.

Both the procedure consume time identically and the same amount of fees is charged in both cases. Acquiring the fiancé visa is the best in the case if marriage is to be delayed in any case and the US citizen want to together with the spouse.

This is a guest post by Maya on dealing with a bully boss. You can read the guidelines to guest posting at our write for us page.

An unfortunate yet common situation for employees (in all types of jobs and positions), is working under a bully boss. This is something that workers typically encounter at one point in their careers. Others, who have maybe not experienced it directly, have probably witnessed it through their co-workers.

How to Work with a Bully Boss?

There are ways to figure out what you need to do in regards to this. First you need to identify if you are the main problem or, if it is really your annoying boss. When it comes to being bullied, knowing (and reminding yourself) that you didn’t ask for it is an important step in dealing with it.  Bullied people can often feel defenseless, under-confident, and sometimes scared, which makes the other person feel even more superior.

The constant burden that you suffer from your bully boss can cause you to rarely ever have peace of mind. So make sure that you do give yourself time to be with people that make you happy and make you feel at ease. Spending time outside the office can give you more courage to approach the problem. Try to indulge yourself in activities where you can recuperate and rejuvenate.

Additionally, you should know your side and be realistic about it. Get all the angles. Make notes on what is going on and make an effort to document specific things that happen, as well as the days and times, etc. Try to ask others if they, too, are experiencing it. This is not about someone who is looking for a corporate award or, recognition for working hard. We’re talking about problems that are a lot bigger than that.

The Basics to dealing with a Bully Boss

Learn to be firm and don’t do something that will make you look bad; remember that two wrongs don’t make a right. You don’t want to be doing things that will only make the situation worse. You want to improve it, or get out of it, whichever is better and right for you! Changing how you respond to certain situations might be all that is necessary, especially when you are dealing with difficult people like your bully boss.

But sometimes that isn’t enough, and much more is required. Sometimes the only way out is to actually leave or walk out, depending on the situation of course. When people are hard to change – you need to make changes happen, one way or another.

If it’s at all possible, let the people involved know what they’re doing to you, in this situation, you bully boss. Make an attempt to inform your bully boss that he or she is making you feel dismal. Wait for a response from them. If the reaction is not what you are expecting, then it may be time for you to confide in someone who is in a higher or more powerful position.

But be careful who you turn to. Many times higher superiors and managers tend to see things from the side of your bully boss. They may be looking at things from a very different perspective so really try to go to someone who deals with personnel issues and who has impact and influence in this area.

A lot of bullies tend to act differently and their behaviors change depending on who they are interacting with. Sometimes, they can be on major power trips and the more superior they are the more abusive they are to their subordinates. So remember to look for someone higher up who can understand your side and handle it in a well-mannered way. But finding the right person like this to support you can be difficult, so as hard as it may be, you’ll need to be smart and patient about it.

Dealing with a Bully Boss – the last resort

Lastly, if absolutely nothing works out, then consider your options – you may need to switch paths. There are still companies out there who aim to nurture and respect their employees since they realize that these are their greatest assets and resources! They value their manpower and even have employee recognition programs to show off and reward their employees and departments or teams who deserve it.

That way everyone is working together towards a common goal – from the bottom up. People who are brave enough to leave a negative situation that they’re in will often follow a new path that leads them to a better, more promising, and happier future and career.
