Tip To Balance Work-Home life

The concept of ‘Work-Life balance’isn’t just applicable to those people who are trying to achieve a balance between their work and family life; achieving a reasonable work-life balance can be one of the challenges of being a student too; with many desperately trying to juggle study with work and a social life.

Gone are the days when university life was about part-time study and lots of partying; with ever increasing fees, and more mature students with a family to take care of, earning while learning has become the norm and even essential.

And as if study combined with work was not enough; there are the extracurricular activities and social events that go hand in hand with studying at university for a degree. Starting with Freshers Week students are enticed and encouraged to sign up to one or more of  the exciting range of societies, groups and clubs such as Bellringing and Rock climbing and attend social events such as the ‘Fresher’s Fair’ and ‘Combat party’.

Unfortunately, by the time Christmas arrives (3 months into the first academic term) I see more and more students who are at breaking point, trying but failing to satisfy the demands of their tutors, their boss and friends and family.

Work-Life Balance: So How can you Juggle Study with Work and a Social Life?

The only way that you can satisfactorily juggle study, work and a social life is by being incredibly organised, disciplined, and by knowing your limits; and it begins with effective planning and establishing a routine that works for you.

Develop a study plan

It’s important that you have enough time for study (after all that should be the main reason why you’re at university or college), so begin the task of managing your time effectively by looking at the commitments of your chosen course:

As soon as you receive your course timetable, and have an idea of when your assignments are due, draw up a weekly study timetable and decide which will be the best times for you to do your studying – mornings, evenings or weekends. Also try to factor in extra time (say a couple of hours per week) to take into account unexpected heavy work loads or time for revision.

Drawing up a weekly study timetable can help you to focus your time, and help you to determine which hours, on which days, you have available for other things such as part-time work and family and friends. Of course they’ll be occasions when you’ll find it difficult to stick rigidly to your study plan e.g. if you are sick, and at these times try setting yourself one goal for the day, or two or three for the week. That way you will still be ‘moving forward’ and then as soon as you are over the blip, go straight back to your study plan and use any dead time available e.g. when you’re travelling, to catch up a bit with your study.

Manage your time and prioritise

Staying organised is one of the best ways to save time; file away lecture notes straight away so that you can find them easily when you need to refer to them. If possible, re-read your lecture notes and expand on them as soon as possible, while the lecture is still fresh in your mind.

Prioritise your tasks; work out which tasks are most important and make sure they get done, don’t be too hard on yourself if you don’t complete the minor ones, carry them over to the following week.

Choose a job that is flexible and fits in with your study pattern

Depending upon your circumstances you may need to consider some kind of part-time work. Look at your study plan and decide when you will work, but make sure that it doesn’t interfere too much with your studies. Most universities recommend that you only work 12-15 hours per week (they do this for a reason) so try and stick to this limit. Remember that a part time job which involves long hours, may help you financially in the short term, but could have a negative impact on long-term job prospects if you fail to get a good degree.

Choose a job that fits in with your study pattern; for example, at the university where I work, many students work an evening shift at a call centre between the hours of 6-10, two or three times per week.

Don’t take a job that’s too mentally demanding or tiring and make sure that you don’t over-commit to working more hours than you’re comfortable with. It’s better to target a lower number of hours to work in the beginning, you can always do more hours/shifts later when you settle into your new study routine.

When you get a job make sure that you are paid at least the minimum wage, £4.98 for people under 21 and £6.08  for people over the age of 21 (as of Aug 2012 seewww.direct.gov.uk ) If work is going to take you away from your studies and family and friends then it has to be worth your while.

Some jobs pay commission only, meaning you only earn money on sales you make, I would advise that you think carefully about these kinds of jobs as, unless you are a brilliant sales person, you could be wasting a lot of time not making any sales and therefore any money.

On a positive note, not only will part-time work keep the wolf from the door, it will also help you get to know yourself better – your likes and dislikes and your values, and boost your employability when you graduate.

If you can, try to look for work that will be beneficial to the career area/job that you are interested in or find a job that will develop certain employability skills that you feel you lack or are weak such as communication and  presentation skills and teamwork.

Study should always come first; you need to ensure that you find a job, where the employer is understanding and willing to be flexible as you may need to do less hours some weeks when, e.g. you have deadlines for coursework, or during exams. Unfortunately, you may do a disservice to yourself by discussing the potential flexibility of the job role up front, it would be best to accept the job and show your boss that you are hard-working and reliable, and then after a few months you will be in a better position to discuss flexible hours or working less hours at times when you have exams.

Universities and their students union often have their own job shops and temporary job schemes that offer work at the university itself; these jobs are great because you won’t have to waste time travelling to and from work, and the jobs are often flexible to fit in with your course timetable.

Socialising and family time

Last but not least, look at your study plan and work schedule to see how much time you have available each week to spend with friends and family and you will also need to factor in some time for yourself to relax and catch up on sleep.

The family

Many students who have a family often feel guilty that they can’t spend enough time with them but remember that you are studying for their benefit as well as yours. Talk it through with them and explain that it’s only for a short time.

Get support

However, if you feel that you are really struggling or are feeling really guilty about not spending enough time with your family, talk to someone in your University Student Services department such as a counsellor, careers adviser, or money and welfare officer. It is their job to help and support you while you are at university, so use the service as much as you like. They may be able to provide you with financial advice and help with sources of funding that are available,disability and health support including relaxation techniques to reduce stress, advice on careers and jobs and sometimes childcare support. They are also ‘good listeners’ and sometimes it’s just nice to talk to someone and get things off your chest. Talking things through often makes things clearer for you and helps you to decide if you need to make any changes.

Build a support Network

Building a support network can be harder for student parents because of the demands on your time however, many universities have a society for student parents and it can be a great way to meet other parents and share childcare during lectures and exams. If your university or college doesn’t have a group then you might like to start one.

Friends

Make sure that you are able to spend some time each week with your friends, even if this is just catching them for a quick coffee or a beer once or twice per week. However, make sure that you  associate yourself with positive, supportive people that will help you remain upbeat and optimistic.

Take care of yourself

The challenges and change in your life when you go to university can take its toll on your health, with depression being one of the most common issues for which university counsellors are consulted by students. Make sure that you take time out from work and study to relax a little, eat regular meals, a balanced diet, and get enough sleep.

If you haven’t got time to get involved with clubs and societies, then at least try to go for a swim once or twice a week or maybe you could jog for 30 mins each morning or try yoga or meditation – anything which will help you unwind and de-stress.

Be realistic about what you can do and don’t promise something you can’t deliver, and learn to say ‘no’ to your boss if he/she wants you to do more hours then you are comfortable with.

Don’t spend too much time on social media platforms such as Facebook or Twitter as they are big time eaters and if you get behind with your study you will feel more stressed, especially when life throws even more demands on your time your way. Try to limit the time spent on these sites to no more than 30 minutes per day and switch off your phone when you’re studying or relaxing.

Try to find a healthy balance between study and rest. Too much study (or continuous periods of study) are known to be counterproductive and might affect your health, well being, and your effectiveness as a student. Find opportunities to have a break (such as nipping down to the kitchen to make a cuppa, doing some stretching exercises), this will make you feel more refreshed, and lead to improved levels of energy and concentration.

If you stick to your study plan and have been realistic about how much time you have available for part time work you should have a few hours per week to spend on social/family and therefore should be on the way to achieving a satisfactory work-life balance. Good luck!

What it is meant by best job?

Best jobs in the world are not those jobs that pay you more but best jobs are those in which you are happy .Finding job in today's world is really hard and job of your choice is hardest.People lose all their interests and other hobbies while doing their jobs and they start becoming depressed because that particular job isn't for them."Do What makes you happy" If you do what you have interest in that that would be so much fun ,(for example if you have interest in photographer then you really should be a photographer because this will keep you happy forever).I am not saying that if you like sitting and sleeping at home then do it .what i mean is that we should never kill our interests .If we kill or interest there will be nothing good left in life.Before deciding career for you ,you need to be sure about what are your interests and what you actually want to be if it wasn't the matter of money and success.Money cant buy happiness,Even if you have a lot of money ,then what? You killed your interest and now you will be nothing but just a money creating machines.And If you are family man then its gonna be life sucking abyss.
Some people just are so creative that they just wanna be like that for rest of their lives but because they think creativity wont earn them anything they kill their creativity.
People nowadays are seeking for  Home Jobs and teenagers nowadays want to be independent and they look for part time jobs for teens 

Various creative jobs :

• They include classic artistic paths, in the fine arts, literature, music, drama and other performing arts. There are also traditional crafts and designer-maker professions, whose practitioners create and sell art facts in wood, metal, glass, ceramics and other materials.
• The modern creative industries employ talented people in fields such as television, radio, film, marketing and advertising, design, popular music and web development.
• Last but not least are the myriad creative freelancers, entrepreneurs, coaches, consultants and small business owners who bring all their ingenuity and passion to bear on the challenge of earning a living from their creative talents.
• Whichever category you fall into, you have a few things in common with your fellow creative professionals.
• Most importantly, creativity is central to your identity and your career success. It’s a passion that gets you out of bed in the morning, and a means of separating yourself from the competition.
• Because of this, conventional career advice isn’t much use to you. You may or may not have letters after your name and be good in an interview situation, but your career gameplan is not based on getting good grades, saying the right thing in an interview and climbing the corporate ladder. In fact, when you looked at the career options laid out before you at school, you may well have decided that none of them were particularly appealing, so you’d have to invent your own job description.

So where can you go for meaningful career advice?
A few years ago, if you’d looked in the careers section of the average bookstore, you’d have been faced with a limited choice of career paths, and advice on “killer answers to tough interview questions”.
But these days there’s a growing number of books aimed at people pursuing creative careers. Books that don’t show you how to fit in, but how to stand out. Books that don’t tell you what to do or say, but inspire you with possibilities and encourage you to find your own path.
Here’s a selection of 12 of the best career guides for creative people, based on my own experience and the response of my coaching clients when I recommend them. I hope you find them useful sources of practical inspiration for your own creative career. And if I’ve missed out one of your favourites, please leave a comment at the end explaining why you’d like to add it to the list!

Best Home Based Jobs

Mobile technology has made it easier than ever to work from home, but not every company will allow employees to work from home all the time and not every job is suitable to full-time telecommuting.  
IT professionals who rarely need to interact with others in person to do their work successfully.
Employees who can do most of their work via email and phone, such as employment recruiters, statisticians or analysts. 
"The ability to work from home is a privilege, not a right," Bardaro says. "The best way to prepare yourself for it is to make yourself a star performer in your current role in the office and show the powers that be that you have the ability to succeed in your role with limited supervision."

In fact, employees with work-from-home privileges often -- though not always -- report higher earnings than their in-office counterparts. This is probably because trusted and valued workers are more likely to be able to negotiate a work-from-home situation. 
"It's very rare to be able to work from home if you're just starting out in your career, because people have no idea whether they can trust you to work well without supervision," Bardaro says. "So it's people who've been in their career for a while, have a defined skill set that's super-useful or have been able to prove themselves and say, 'Hey look, I'm a good worker -- I know what I'm doing, I need very limited supervision.'" 

Here are six high-paying jobs that can be done from home:-

Actuary 
Working mainly for insurance companies, actuaries analyze statistical data to determine risk and liability. Because they work primarily with data, actuaries can sometimes arrange to work from home.

Business Intelligence Analyst 

Business intelligence analysts translate complex data into actionable information for their companies -- information that could help organizations decide whether to court (or drop) a specific kind of customer or give them the data they need to streamline their internal operations. Since this is another job that deals with numbers, it can be done from home, although you might need to put in some occasional face time at the office. 

Leigh Fonseca, principal of Fonseca Data Science, a San Francisco-based data science and visualization consulting company, confirms that business intelligence analysts who want to work at home should still be prepared to make an occasional off-site visit.

"You will be much more successful in this industry if you spend some time with your clients in their space," Fonseca says. "You need to understand your clients' businesses, get a feel for how they work and get their culture." 

Software Developer

Software developers can go for long stretches of time without having to meet with end users, a situation that makes their jobs ideally suited for work-from-home status.

"People flock to these positions," says Ben Adams, an Atlanta-based senior Web developer for a social-media company in New York. "At my last job, I was the third person to leave for a work-at-home position with another company. So there's competition for them, but it's also becoming more common. I hadn't even seen positions like this a few years ago."


Compensation Analyst

Compensation analysts use market and internal data to advise their companies on such matters as starting salaries, merit increases and overall compensation plans. They may also help create job descriptions and run budget reports.

Market Research Manager

Market research managers help companies determine how much their products are worth, identify potential customers, and help set prices that keep customers happy and the company competitive in the market. Because their work can sometimes be done over the phone or online, market research managers can occasionally arrange work-from-home jobs.


Public Relations Manager 

Like market research managers, PR managers spend a considerable amount of time on the phone, making it easy for them to do their jobs -- creating and managing the public image of their clients and companies -- from home. 

Source: All salary data provided by online salary database PayScale.com. Salaries listed are median, annual salaries based on annual salary or hourly wage and include bonuses, profit sharing, tips, commissions and other forms of cash earnings as applicable. All salaries are for employees with five to eight years of experience who indicated that they have the option to telecommute or work from home.

Walk in the job interviews

With the global financial crises having a cascading impact on the global economy, the job market too has been gloomy. In such an environment, it is even more important for aspirants to do well in campus interviews to grab the jobs they desire.

And being mentally fit and alert is important to be able to do well in interviews. It will also mean that you will be mentally prepared to handle interviews that have very short notice periods.

A few things to remember

1. Ensure that the resume has been checked for typos and is structured in a way that makes it easy to read. Highlight your skills and experience relevant to the job.

2. Interviews are used as a tool of judging whether you fit the job as well as the company.

3. Know yourself, inside out. Only when you understand yourself completely can you make the panel understand you.

4. Take time to understand how you want to project yourself during the interview.

5. Everything you say or do makes an impression whether positive or negative. Be it the way you sit, the way you talk or your choice of clothing. Everything matters!

6. Remember, an Interview is like a sales pitch in many ways. So ensure that you present yourself well.

Preparing for the unexpected

In some interviews you may be asked to solve a case-study. You can be asked to give an impromptu presentation or recite a poem. Or, you may get the silent treatment from the panel or a stress interview may come your way. You can even be asked to leave the room.

Whatever happens, be mentally prepared for any eventuality. These situations give the panel an opportunity to assess how you behave in stressful or unexpected situations. They just want to get to know the real You. They want to find out if you can handle the job, if you are interested in the company and if you are the person they want to have during tough and stressful times.

Stay calm, remain positive and think logically.

Before the interview

Research the company

Being well informed about the company and industry provides you with a competitive edge. It also conveys a clear message to the interviewer and that is:

1. You are career oriented and want to build a career within the industry

2. You understand the intricacies of the industry

3. You are wholeheartedly interested in working for the company

Read up as much as possible about the company and the industry. You can also talk to people who work in the company or the industry to get a first hand feel about what drives the company and the industry.

Appearance

First impressions are made within the first few minutes and are very important for a successful interview. Most employers prefer candidates wearing formal attire (Indian or western). Dress soberly and neatly. It is better to be conservative in the choice of clothes. Avoid flashy clothes or strong perfumes. Jewellery should be at a bare minimum.

Have your clothes ironed and keep it ready in advance, so that you do not waste time in selecting a dress on the day of the interview. This also avoids last minute problems like a stained shirt, wrinkled tie, missing buttons or unpolished shoes.

Looks matter! Pay a visit to the salon, to get an appropriate haircut. Trim your nails. Remember, a professional look is the first step to making the great the first impression.

The interview tool-kit

The day before the interview, collect all your material and keep them in a file. Keep extra copies of your resume. Carry letters of reference, reference list, transcripts, certificates, other supporting documents, passport size photos, a writing pad, pen and a calculator.

Relax

Ensure that you sleep well the day before the interview. Stay calm and relax; only when you are relaxed will you do well.

During the Interview

1. Stay focused; put away any worries

2. Switch off your cell phone before an interview starts

3. Eye contact conveys confidence

4. Introduce yourself clearly with your first and last name

5. Smile at appropriate times

6. Take time to understand the question and then answer it. It is not a question of how fast you answer but how well you answer

7. Be expressive, talk crisply and slowly. Do not mumble, stammer or use a monotone

8. Keep the answers to the point. Avoid rambling

9. Be forthright and direct. Do not be evasive or beat around the bush

10. Never lie in an interview

11. Never blame or badmouth anyone during an interview

12. Never argue, always give polite responses

13. If you do not know the answer be frank, admit it

At the end of the interview

Generally, the panel will indicate the end of the interview by asking: Do you have any questions for us? Use this opportunity to ask intelligent and relevant questions, to summarize your skills & experience related to the job and indicate your interest in the job.

Conclusion

It is essential to be confident in an interview. If you have practiced your answers and done your homework, most of the questions can be answered without difficulty. Ensure that you take the time to understand what they are looking for by asking the question. Remember to study the relevant topics before the interview. If you have an interview for an equity research position, know what has been driving the markets, who are the major players, etc. If you have an interview for a marketing position in a FMCG company know what has been the recent trend, what new products have been launched recently, etc.

Keep in mind why you want to go into the industry (Telecom, Banking, Auto, etc.), why you are interested in the job and the company. Make sure you have a good grasp of the basic concepts and convince your interviewer that you have the capability and interest to learn the more complex aspects of the job.

Finally, ensure that you dress and act professionally. Show up on time and make eye contact throughout the interview. All the Best!

Best Jobs for Teens

Are you a teen looking for a job? Here are some tips to help you get going on your search for teen jobs.

Teen Job Search Guide
Information on jobs for teens, including how to find a job, where to get working papers, where teens can work, what to wear for an interview, and how to obtain references.

Jobs for High School Students
Here's information on the types of jobs available for high school students, how to find and apply for jobs, how to write a resume, sample resumes and cover letters for students, plus job search advice and tips.

Child Labor Laws
There are laws restricting when you can work and what you can do. Teens hired for nonagricultural employment (which is just about everything other than farm work) must be at least fourteen.

Other restrictions also apply:

Ages 14 and 15: During the school year, hours are limited to 3 hours a day and 18 hours a week. On days when there's no school and in the summer, working hours increase to 8 hours a day and 40 hours a week. There are limits on when you can work, too - no later than 7 p.m. during the school year and no later than 9 p.m. between June 1 and Labor Day.

Ages 16 and 17: There's no limit on hours, but, if you're under 18 you can't work in a job that the Labor Department considers hazardous.

Working Papers (Employment / Age Certificates)
In some states, if you're under eighteen, you may need to obtain working papers (officially called Employment/Age Certificates) in order to legally be able to work. You may be able to get the form at school. Otherwise, you can get one at your state Department of Labor. Check the Employment/Age Certification list to see which guidelines apply to you. If it's school, check with your Guidance Office. If it's the Department of Labor, check with your state office. Some states, like New York, for example, have special sections of their web sites on Youth Jobs, which will give you the information you need.

Dream Jobs - or Not!
Once you've got the paperwork in order, consider what you would like to do. Are you interested in working with little kids? Take a look at after-school programs, child care centers, or summer camp jobs. How about working on the beach or the ski slopes, at a park, in the mountains, or at another outdoor job? Consider a job at a museum, a hospital, at a zoo, or at some other organization related to your career aspirations. Here is a list of teen job options. The jobs you have during high school will give you some idea of what you might want to do later on. They also might give you an idea about some jobs you absolutely don't want to do!

Finding a Job 
Check with your high school Guidance Office and ask how they can assist with your job search. They may have postings for local businesses, for babysitting or for other part-time positions.

Next, tell everyone you know that you're looking for work. Speak with teachers, family, coaches, friends, parents of friends - anyone and everyone you can think of - and ask for help. Most jobs are found through referrals and people you know are often happy to assist.

How about starting your own business? Consider your own skills and interests as well as the needs of the local economy where you will be spending your summer. Possible ventures include babysitting, lawn mowing, house painting, designing and marketing T-shirts, caring for pets while people are on vacation, car detailing, etc.

Here are some more teen job search tips that will help you find a job - fast!

Online Job Searching
Start your online job search by visiting the sites that focus on teen job opportunities. Searching Snagajob.com, for example, by type of position and location will generate a list of openings. There's also a list of national employers that hire part-time workers. Check the part-time job sites as well. That way, you will review a broad spectrum of potential opportunities and you'll be able to decide what sounds most interesting to you.

Employers in fields like retail and hospitality often are very interested in hiring teens and are willing to provide training. Search by the category of employment you're interested in. This will generate some more leads.These types of employers often don't advertise, so check with the stores or restaurants in your town to see if they have openings.

Don't forget to check the local jobs sites for your city or state, as well as the Employment Services job listings and the Help Wanted ads in your newspaper. Small local papers like The Pennysaver usually have listings too.

Teen Job Interviews 
Next, make sure you dress appropriately, are ready to complete an application, and are prepared for an on-the-spot interview.

Before you head out to your interviews, review these student job interview questions and samples answers, so you are ready to respond to the interviewer.



As a teenager, looking for your first part time job can seem like a daunting task. Let's face it, finding a job is hard to begin with. But when you haven't had any experience in a workplace, have never been through an interview, and don't know where to start in writing a resume, the task can seem impossible. Of course, your parents are probably no help; "it's simple", they say, "just go ask Joe at the corner market for a job; he'll give you one!" So, how do you go about getting your first job?

Preparing for the Job Hunt 
The most important steps in going to get your first job take place before you even head out the front door. You need to prepare for what you're about to do.

Put Together a Simple Resume
Many first time or part time job seekers don't believe they need a resume, or think that "well, I don't really have anything to put on a resume, so why bother?" Two reasons. First, having a resume to give to the prospective employer shows you've put some effort into finding a job (read: you will put some effort into the job you do for them…). Secondly, it allows you to showcase those things about you that you want the employer to remember.

Having a printed resume sets you apart from the crowd. Even if you have no work experience, you can still give the employer an idea of who you are, and what your strengths are. If all you've done is baby-sit your kid brother, put it down in writing. Emphasize the skills you learned while baby-sitting, the challenges you overcame, and so on.

Writing Your First Resume
Appearance Matters
Make sure when you head out the door, that you are well groomed and well dressed. You don't need to be in a suit, just make sure you look presentable. Make sure "your Grandma would approve…"


Get a List of Places to Apply 
Of course, you can use sites that focus on part time jobs for teens like GrooveJob.com to find part time jobs in your area, but there are many other ways to find employers. You can get a list of places looking for people from a variety of sources. You can pick up a local newspaper, go to the library to look at help wanted listings, or walk through town looking for Help Wanted signs. But remember, not every business looking for an employee will have a Help Wanted sign in the front window.
Put on your list of places anywhere that you think would be fun to work, and go get that job. Walking in and asking for a job isn't illegal, and it shows the manager that you are interested and ambitious if you ask for a job even when one isn't advertised.

Teen Job Search Tips
Prepare for "No" 
Before you go apply anywhere, you need to prepare yourself for rejection. That's right. Nobody, and I mean, nobody, gets accepted every single place they apply for a job. As a first time job seeker, you need to mentally prepare for someone to say, "No". There's nothing wrong with a store owner saying to you, "I'm sorry, we don't need anyone right now." However, there is a right and a wrong way to respond to a business owner or manager who says they have no need for you. If you get a "No, I'm sorry" (and everyone will!), respond by saying, "Well, if you do need someone in the future, please give me a call. I'll leave you a copy of my resume. Thanks for your time."

This shows the manager that you are serious about getting a job, and you have demonstrated the ability to follow up. Simply walking away from the store shows the manager that you weren't serious about the job to begin with. Stand up for yourself and demonstrate maturity. It goes a long way in presenting yourself.

Stand Up Straight and Be Mature
Not to sound like your parents, or anything, but… 
Go to each of the employers on your list, walk in the door, and ask for that job. Keep you head up, maintain eye contact, have a firm handshake, and be confident. Employers look for certain qualities when a jobseeker walks in the door. Foremost of those qualities is the candidate's ability to communicate. If you are meek, shy, and unable to show the employer that you are serious about getting a job, you probably won't get one. When communicating to a manager, demonstrate that you are eager to get the job.

How to Apply for a First Job
Follow Up
This is probably the most important part of getting a job. Employers look for candidates who have the ability to follow up with customers, because it shows a willingness to get involved and be responsible. Always make a follow up call or get in touch with the potential employer. Usually, it's best to wait about a week to make a call, and when you do, make sure to get on the phone with the person who will be hiring. Don't rely on someone else to leave the right message for you.
