Its Okay to Look for Work Outside Your Field of StudyNo one told me this, but I learned it quickly in my career It is okay to pursue a job that you didnt specifically go to school to study. I was a nursing major, but needed a part-time job while I was in school. My temp standort at a tech company, Edgenet, seemed like a strange job to accept at the time. But I loved the company, the people, and the work there so much that 11 years later Im still with the firm. Because of that experience, I encourage young job seekers not to fixate on the perfect position you think you need now the one you went to school for. Instead, consider the type of organization you want to work for and the kind of environment you want to work in. Do you thrive in a fast-paced office? Do you like structure? Do you want a close-knit community? If you find the right environment, the right job will come.Also, the saying Its not what you know, its who you know is an adage for a reason. I wouldnt have known about the position at Edgenet while in school if I didnt have a connection who pointed me to the opening. Network as early and as often as you possibly can.- Dana Becker, Edgenet 2. You Dont Have to Settle for Your First Job OfferIt is really exciting to receive an offer, but you have to be realistic with yourself. You dont have to absolutely love every part of your first job, but its important to understand that you will spend most of your week there.When you didnt like a class you were taking in college, you could drop it in the first few weeks with no consequences. With your first job, you have to feel confident that you can manage a full day of doing this job five days a week. I have seen many friends realize the job they committed to was making them miserable. Many of them werent even able to make it through a full year at their first jobs. But they accepted the jobs because it was convenient and helped lower the stress of graduating. Really take the time to think about whether or not the job youve been offered is the right fit for you. Trust me, working somewhere that you dont dread going to every day is worth waiting for.- Emily Hagen, Hub Recruiting Mark SaysFind a way to do something anything that you truly enjoy and th at might pave the way to another career or job. Consider doing something you would love to do but never thought you could and then volunteer to learn more about it.3. Experience Is EverythingEven though spending your time watching Netflix eight hours a day in college sounds like fun, youre wasting your time and life away. If I could tell my freshman self anything, it would be to get involved in the community. Find a nonprofit you can spend your time with and build your professionalism, even if its not related to your field. Who knows you might change your major or career path like I did. - Josh Trecartin, Red Branch Media 4. College Life Is notlage the Same as Work LifeJumping into work life from college life was like stepping into a cold shower it woke me up. The daily routine of going to class, doing homework, and goofing off with the bros in between classes was nowhere near real life. Professors didnt often describe what it was actually like to do real work at a real job. Now , I realize that when you go to work, you are expected to focus and be productive and engaged instead of sitting around doodling and acting like you are paying attention. You are in one place, working on one thing for an extended amount of time, rather than constantly moving around, doing different things. There is a lot more satisfaction in real work.- John Lewis, Red Branch Media Mark SaysIf you are someone who has been able to succeed or at least get by without preparing, youre not likely to change until you get that wake-up call. Maybe it will take getting fired or missing out on a great opportunity. But sooner or later, you realize that your persona, chutzpah, bravado, and bravura arent enough.5. Dont Rely Solely on Advertised PositionsPositions posted on employment websites and various career centers are convenient and easily accessible to job seekers. But thats the problem They are accessible to everyone. Hundreds of resumes flood the inboxes of HR departments that utilize online posting methods, so the aussicht of your resume actually catching the eye of the hiring manager is slim. On the flip side, the amount of open positions never posted online is staggering but why are so many never publicly promoted? In short, managers want to either hire from within or talk to someone that has been referred. Think about this in dating terms Are you more likely to trust someone you meet on Tinder, the ever-so-promising dating app, or someone you meet through one of your close friends?The secret to finding these positions lies within your network. Leverage your connections with people you have worked with in the past as well as family, friends, and others who arent necessarily part of your professional network. Another strategy with surprising success? Reach out to companies that capture your interest to learn more about them. Setting up informational interviews will give you not only the opportunity to meet with some important executives, but also the chance to express your career goals and ask about the industry. While the people you meet through these interviews may not be hiring, they know others in the industry who might be - Katie Bassett

The 10 commandments of air travel during the holidays

The 10 commandments of air travel during the holidaysThe 10 commandments of air travel during the holidaysDelays, cancellations, and destroyed travel plans 2018 has been one of the worst years in terms of flight disruptions, with a record number of travel plans going awry.However, no matter what goes wrong, youre prepared hereAirHelpexplains the 10 commandments of air travel you always need to remember in case your flight is disrupted.1 Thou shalt have food and waterWhat could be worse than waiting for a delayed flight? Having to wait for a delayed flight on the tarmac Many travelers dont know that they are actually granted certain rights in those annoying situations.The U.S. Department of Transportation created a set of regulations on tarmac delaysthat apply to delays that occur at U.S. airports. After two hours, the airline crew is required to provide you with food, water, operational lavatories, and medical care if needed.After a tarmac delay of three hours, passengers must be giv en the option to deplane. (Although passengers who experience an extended tarmac delay at a foreign airport while flying to the U.S. may be protected against extended tarmac delays by the laws of another nation, they are not protected from extended tarmac delays by U.S. law.)2 Thou shalt have a nice comped hotelThe question of whether or not you have to pay for an unplanned hotel stay following a disrupted flight is something that even frequent travelers are unsure about. In fact, under European law EC261, the airline is supposed to provide passengers on European flights with transportation to their hotel or accommodations, and a hotel stay.3 Thou shalt be compensated for messed up luggageThere are so many things that may go wrong when it comes to your luggage. So it will be music to your ears to hear that there is a regulation called theMontreal Conventionthat grants you a right to financial compensation in case your suitcase gets delayed, lost or damaged after you check in for you r flight.Whether youre flying within the US or to one of the other 120 countries that ratified the Montreal Convention, if you experience luggage issues while traveling, you may be entitled to compensation.Under U.S. and Montreal Convention air passenger rights laws, the maximum compensation from an airline for checked luggage that is either lost or damaged is $1,525 $3,500. If your luggage is damaged, make sure to file a report within 7 days, and complaints about delayed luggage should be filed within 21 days. Luggage that doesnt arrive within 21 days is considered lost after this period there is no time limit for complaints.Make sure to always hold onto your receipts, because you can be reimbursed for anything that welches lost or damaged that you needed for your tip. For example, if you have to buy a suit for an important meeting, you can get reimbursed for the suit so you can replace them.4 Thou shalt not leave Fido at homeAnimal lovers dont have to skip their vacations, as lo ng as they make themselves familiar withindividual airlines pet rules. This is especially important in light of recent tragedies. If you wish to travel with your furry best friend, we advise you to research the airlines rules.For example, some airlines only allow assistance or guide dogs to travel in the cabin. Others base their paw fees on your pets size and weight, plus their carriers measurements.When making the decision of whether to bring your pet along, you should consider the size of your pet the pet carrier pet/dog carrier fees the temperament of your four-legged friend and the airlines overhead bin space availability.5 Thou shalt avenge your injuriesIf you suffer some kind of injury while being on the plane, you are entitled to financial compensation. Thanks to a modification to the international regulation, the Montreal Convention, you can now get up to $138,000.It is also worth knowing that if your case requires legal action, you might be able to take it to court in your home country if the airline operates flights there.6 Thou shalt help other passengersIt happens all the time in movies a passenger gets a heart attack, the crew asks is there a doctor on board? and George Clooney steps in to save the day. But what if a medical urgency happens in real life?Its worth knowing that you have the right to help out, which means that even if you are not a doctor, you can assist another passenger in need, andyou are covered by legal protectionif you do so.7 Thou shalt get on the flightSelling mora tickets for a flight than seats available is a common practice in the airline industry, which sometimes leads to passengers being denied boarding, although they arrived at the gate on time and ready to board the flight. As this is an extremely frustrating situation, the airline cannot get away with offering you a food voucher as consolation.If youre bumped, and you dont volunteer to deplane or take another flight, you can be eligible for compensation of up to $1,35 0, depending on the value of your ticket fare and ultimate delay in arrival to your final destination. If youre flying within the U.S. and youre put on a flight that arrives within 1-2 hours of your planned arrival, you can be compensated 200% of your one-way ticket fare up to $675. If the delay is more than 2 hours for a domestic flight, you may claim up to $1,350.If youre traveling abroad, and the delay to your destination compared to your original flight is between 1-4 hours, you can get compensated 200% of your one-way fare up to $675. For delays more than 4 hours, you may be entitled to 400% of one-way fare up to $1,350.8 Thou shalt be treated equallyIf you have a disability, you encounter more and different burdens when planning your trip. Especially due to this, nobody should be allowed to put even more obstacles in your way. Therefore, no airline can refuse to accommodate you. In fact, they are required by law to make sure accommodations are available. This is because of the Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA), a law which makes it illegal for airlines to discriminate against passengers because of their disability.Airlines are also required to provide passengers with disabilities many types of assistance, including wheelchairs or other guided assistance to board, deplane, or connect to another flight seating accommodation assistance that meets passengers disability-related needs and assistance with the loading and stowing of assistive devices.9 Thou shalt complainTraveling by air was once a luxurious privilege, but has become as commonplace as taking the train. However, when things go wrong and travel is disrupted, passengers still very rarely complain or claim compensation for the hassle theyve gone through. One major reason for this is that more than 90% of U.S. travelers still dont know their rights as air passengers.Besides your right to compensation, you can always complain when an airline doesnt fulfill the service theyve promised some might even take your feedback seriously and try to improve their service.10 Thou shalt be compensatedIf you are on a flight to or from Europe, and you arrive at your destination with delays of more than 3 hours, you may be eligible to file for compensation. As long as your flight isnt delayed because of extraordinary circumstances like weather, terrorism, air traffic control restrictions, or political unrest, you could claim up to $700 from the airline under European law EC 261, which covers passengers in cases where disruptions are the fault of the airline, and the departure airport is within the EU or the airline carrier is based in the EU and the flight is landing in the EU.If you dont have time to file a claim right away, dont worry, as you have up to three years to file for compensation. AirHelp offers a free eligibility check via thewebsiteor theapp-integrated boarding pass scanner, so you can check whether you are owed money while youre still at the gate.AirHelp is the worlds leading flight compensation company, helping passengers understand their rights and get compensation for delayed flights, canceled flights, and instances of denied boarding. Since launching in 2013, AirHelp has helped more than seven million people process airline compensation claims worth almost $930 million in total reimbursement. AirHelp has offices across the world, is available in 30 countries, offers support in 16 languages, and employs more than 550 employees globally.

Amazons plan to have 2 headquarters could lead to these 3 pitfalls

Amazons plan to have 2 headquarters could lead to these 3 pitfallsAmazons plan to have 2 headquarters could lead to these 3 pitfallsAmazon announced todaythat it will be building a second headquarters in North America, conveniently deemed Amazon HQ2, which could add up to50,000 high-paying positions. But theres a chance that this may pose certain challenges.With all the structural changes that are bound to come the companys way,its worth looking into the issues it could potentially run into by having more than one headquarters.What is Amazon HQ2 is all aboutAmazon reportedly expects to spend more than $5 billion on construction and running its second headquarters - which is expected to create tens of thousands of additional jobs and tens of billions of dollars in additional investment in the surrounding community.Jeff Bezos, Amazon founder and CEO, commented in a statementWe expect HQ2 to be a full equal to ur Seattle headquarters Amazon HQ2 will bring billions of dollars in up-fron t and ongoing investments, and tens of thousands of high-paying jobs. Were excited to find a second home.But Amazon isnt going it alone when it comes to deciding on a drehort - instead, itscalling on interested people who represent a city or regional economic development organization in North America to get in touch with them and respond to a Request for Proposal or RFP.So what will it take for the corporate giant to break ground for this project in your city?We are looking for a location with strong local and regional talent- particularly in software development and related fields- as well as a stable and business-friendly environment to continue hiring and innovating on behalf of our customer, the company noted, and detailed the exact criteria further in a press release.Amazons current headquarters in Seattle is reportedly made up of 33 buildings, a workforce of more than 40,000, and 8.1 million square feet.Here are some challenges Amazon might face in having multiple headquarter s.Two headquarters, two frames of mind - and too little timeAmazons press release indicated that while HQ2 will add new employees and leaders, current top executives will have the option to have their employees in either of the headquarters - or even both of them.But having teams spread across headquarters in different locations could make it challenging to rally the team and have them operate as a unit.An Inc. article on having various business locations speaks to lack of team cohesiveness, where having workers who havent met can create an us-versus-them mentality.It also mentions out-of-site-out-of-mind syndrome, where managers who are juggling a lot at a main location arent able to devote time to workers at other ones.Theres a chance that both of these factors could be difficult for managers and employees to work through.What if theres a huge drive to relocate to HQ2?Amazon employees willreportedly have a say in where they work - the release notes further that HQ1 employees ca n either stay at that location, or they could have an opportunity to move if they would prefer to be located in HQ2.So executives may not be the only ones saying they want all or some of their teams in the new building. Giving employees the option to speak up as well gives them a chance to be heard, but also runs the risk of having a flood of parties interested in hopping to HQ2.Employees will still need to be able to communicate effectivelyAn article from NewGround on split-operations, defined as the practice of dividing an organizations headquarters across multiple buildings in the same city (which often happens theres no remaining space for growth), shed light on the nature of this process, what to think about before starting it, and how to aid the process.Although Amazon doesnt seem to be limited to Seattle for its second headquarters, the third tip provided seems to apply, since employees will still need to be able to work well together - no matter where they are located.Open up the lines of communication between offices using technology. Blogs, intranets, and online collaboration tools can help employees connect through the virtual channels, it says.Whichever city wins Amazon HQ2s heart, it is bound to witness how the company operates and changes.

Fresh as a Robot Daisy

Fresh as a Robot Daisy Fresh as a Robot Daisy Fresh as a Robot DaisyMany of us take the water supply for granted. Want a drink? Hit the faucet. Part of the reason for this ease of use is that water leaks in the U.S. are rarely a problem. But in other parts of the world, it can be a different story.Infrastructures in the developing world arent always as reliable as those in the U.S., and the consequence of a leak can be grave, with contamination being a serious problem. Now a team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is hoping to level the playing field without leveling budgets with Robot Daisy, a robotic system with the eyes of a plumber and the swimming prowess of a lifeguard.Going with the FlowPresently, many water companies find leaks with products such as microphones in a cup, which can listen for water leaks, but it takes a lot of time, says You Wu, a Ph.D. candidate in mechanical engineering at MIT. With this system, you insert the robot into the water system and it jus t flows. We dont control it in any way. The size of the water system will have an effect on how many times it has to be put in to have a chance to search for these leaks.Current methods in other areas of the world are usually good at detecting big leaks of more than 10 gallons per minute, Wu says. However, Robot Daisy can find leaks as small as one gallon per minute. A shower, for example, flows at three to four gallons per minute, he says.When inserted into the water system pipe, the device moves passively with the flow and detects even small variations in pressure. Image MITThe robot wears a skirt of sensors, which relay information on the force of leaks it locates, all triggered by the force of the water pulling on the skirt. The robot is partially made of rubber to help squeeze through the pipes, while also having room for microcontrollers, batteries, and Wi-Fi.The robot can be inserted into a pipe by going under a fire hydrant. The robot can twist and bend to get through the pi pes in a tetherless fashion, Wu says of the creation, which won the 2017 MIT Water Innovation Prize. When we take it out, we can download the data on what happened during the exploration. It tells us where the robot has been, where the leak is, and how big it is.The system will help address the issue of contamination. In Boston, for example, its less of an issue because water systems here are highly pressurized, Wu says. But in developing nations where a water leak is really bad, those contaminations from outside the pipe can go back into the pipe and contaminate the water.Testing has even brought Robot Daisy to a facility in Saudi Arabia that created an artificial leak to see how the system performed. After testing the robot more than 10 times, the feedback was encouraging, Wu says, adding that the robots technology may someday be used to find leaks in gas pipes.The robot costs about $150 to make.The next phase is looking at making a single robot that can fix leaks on the pipe once it stops and recognizes the leak, he says. It would do so much for developing areas to be able to put it in and have the problem just be solved.Eric Butterman is an independent writer. For Further Discussion It would do so much for developing areas to be able to put it in and have the problem just be solved.Prof. You Wu, MIT

Simultaneous Submissions for Literary Magazines

Simultaneous Submissions for Literary MagazinesSimultaneous Submissions for Literary MagazinesA simultaneous submission is the submission of the same short story or another piece of writing to more than one literary magazine or publisher at the same time. When submitting work, it is important to check whether or not the publication accepts simultaneous submissions. Why Some Journals Prohibit Simultaneous Submissions When editors put an issue of a literary journal together, theyre thinking about how all the stories and poems will work with each other to essentially create a book. It makes their lives more difficult if theyve planned an issue to include a certain story, and then find out from the author that theyve already promised it to someone else. Additionally, if a reader is excited about discovering a new piece and cant wait to get it out to the world, finding out that they will not be the one to publish it (and that another literary magazine or journal will) can be extremely disappointing for an ambitious and talented editor. Pros and Cons of Simultaneous Submissions for Writers Obviously a storys chances of getting published go up if its being seen by more people at the same time so in general, we like simultaneous submissions. On the other hand, literary journals that dont accept simultaneous submissions do tend to respond more quickly. So you dont necessarily have to write a journal off just because they dont take them. You will just have to be more patient. However, if you are rejected from a magazine that does not accept simultaneous submissions, immediately send the piece out again. How to Know If a Journal Accepts Simultaneous Submissions Finding out whether a journal takes simultaneous submissions or not will be part of your research if youre planning to send a story out to a lot of journals and magazines at once. The lists of literary journals on this site include this informationwhen its available. The Novel Short Story Writers Marke t book also specifies which journals and magazines accept simultaneous submissions. For the most up-to-date information, of course, you may always check the journals website. If a magazines information page does not mention simultaneous submissions at all, it is safe to assume that they do accept work that is being sent out to multiple magazines. It is good form, however, if your work is accepted at one magazine, to let the other magazines you have submitted to know that the piece is no longer available for publication. You can do this with a short note to the editors you sent the story too, mentioning where you will be published and that you hope that in the future you will be able to publish with them as well.
