Do this if you want to join the unemployed

Chris Wodke

The economy is tough. There are some things you can do to safeguard your job. There are also some things you can do that may help you land in the unemployment line. Avoid these job behaviors:

Calling in Sick
Call in sick when you are really ill. Don’t come to work and infect others.  If you call in sick when you are healthy you are risking your job, especially if you are dumb enough to tell someone about it. If you tell everyone about the big concert you are going to and call in sick the next day no one is going to believe you are sick. You are likely to irritate your co-workers who have to now do your work. Companies are less likely to tolerate mental health days when there are lots of qualified job seekers. So when it is cold and dark in the morning, don’t be tempted to stay in bed.

Personal Business
Keep your business and professional life separate. Get your work done while at work. Don’t spend work time, paying bills, planning your wedding, studying, and web surfing or otherwise conducting your personal life. Keep your personal phone shut off during work hours. 

Personal Emergencies
Keep these to a minimum.  Everyone has a sick family member that needs attention or a tooth that needs filling. These should always be legitimate. Don’t leave work early to get to the game or some social appointment. You never know who from work you might bump into.

Padding Expense Reports
Never ever lie on expense and mileage reports. If you bill clients or charge projects, do so accurately. Exaggerating expenses or billable hours can be grounds for dismissal. Don’t be tempted to use the company charge card for personal expenses ever.

Playing Political Games
Do not spread rumors, they can be traced back to you. Do not blame others for mistakes or spread false information to make yourself look good.  People will figure out what you are doing. You need to work well with others to be successful. Those with poor interpersonal skills are good candidates for termination.

The market is tough out there.  There are on average 6 job candidates for every opening.  Don’t make yourself vulnerable for termination with inappropriate behavior.

Many uninsured are un-employed

Chris Wodke
www.summittrainingpublications.com

 Many numbers have been thrown around during the health care debate about the number of u-insured in the United Sates.  The actual number of Americans without coverage is far lower than the 45 million often quoted. A recent article in American Spectator discusses some facts about the uninsured and the reasons for lack of coverage.

Un-employed
Often when someone loses their job they lose their health coverage. The option is there to purchase from the former employer through the COBRA. This can be an expensive option and many decide to go without insurance while they are without work. Once employed most of those employed full time regain health coverage. For most this is a short term lapse in coverage. If the cost of health insurance is lowered more unemployed would choose to remain covered.

By Choice
Some people choose to gamble and go without health insurance. Census figures show that over 18 million Americans under the age of 34 have chosen to go without insurance.  Some are in school or working part time and do not qualify for employer insurance. Some workers without insurance work for small businesses, but probably make enough to buy coverage.  According to researcher Sally Pipes 17.6 million workers without insurance make more than $50,000 and 9 million make more than $75,000.  38% of the uninsured U.S. population earns more than $50,000 per year. Do we really need a government option for people who can afford coverage, but choose not to be covered?

Unused Benefits
Many currently eligible for government paid benefits do not use them.  A 2003 study by Blue Cross Blue Shield association found 14 million of the un-insured were eligible for Medicare or other health care benefits.  They would be covered if admitted to a hospital.  A Georgetown health policy study found 7 out of 10 uninsured children were also eligible for government insurance coverage.  All their parents had to do was sign them up for it.

The actual number of the uninsured is actually closer to 8 million. Most of the uninsured are non citizens. They uninsured do have access at any emergency room. They cannot be legally turned away. The majority of uninsured citizens are unemployed, uncovered by choice or have not taken advantage of current benefits. Since many are uncovered by choice do we need another expensive entitlement program? Let’s at least use honest numbers during the debate.

Flu shot or your job?

Chris Wodke

www.summittrainingpublications.com

Many healthcare workers are being faced with the decision to get a swine flu shot or lose their jobs. The State of New York is mandating all healthcare workers be vaccinated or be fired.   The State Hospital Review Board in New York adopted emergency regulations to require all hospital workers to get the swine flu shot or lose their jobs. This regulation affects everyone employed in healthcare from janitors and food service workers to doctors and nurses.  Even workers in financial areas and offices have to get the shot if they have any contact with a health care provider.

MedStar in New York is going the farthest. They require all 25,000 of its employees to get the shot. In addition 5000 associated doctors, volunteers and employees of suppliers are required to be vaccinated, even if they do not have direct patient contact.

The measure is meeting resistance. The New York Nurses association which represents 37,000 nurses in New York has opposed mandatory policies in the past and still does according to spokesman Mark Genovese.   Many states are considering similar rules.

The government says the rules are needed because such a small percentage of healthcare workers get vaccinated.  Only about 50% of healthcare workers get the seasonal flue shot each year. Many healthcare workers are worried about the safety of the Swine flu vaccine because it was rushed into production. In 1976 500 cases of Gullian Barre’ Syndrome resulting in death for 25 people were caused by a reaction to the vaccine.

Some question whether the vaccine will even be affective.  The seasonal flu shot is no guarantee you will not get the flu. Many do not feel the risk is worth the benefit. Unions say masks may be more effective at stemming the spread of the disease. For most the flu is not a big deal. You get a sore throat, fever, cough, congestion, chills etc.

Resistance is also fueled by current mis-trust of the government. Many are worried everyone will be required to get the shot and see the rules as an assault on their personal freedom. Medstar and the State of New York allow exemptions for employees with medical or religious reasons to skip the shot. 

On the other side many believe ethics demand healthcare workers do everything necessary to protect patients. They feel patient welfare should come before personal concerns. Washing hands before patient contact would not be tolerated so they feel this should not be tolerated either.

Tracking and enforcement may be a nightmare. Terminating employees for non compliance may be a mistake since there will already be a shortage of workers if an epidemic hits.

Is the Swine flu so serious that employees have to risk their job if they decide not to get vaccinated? Is the government overreacting? What would you decide?  I’m glad I’m not in that position…..yet.

Unemployed Seniors draining Social Security

Chris Wodke

www.summittrainingpublications.com

There are a lot of Seniors among the 9.8% unemployed in this country.   It is tough to find a job if you are over 50 even in a good economy.  Many unemployed Seniors are choosing to apply for Social Security benefits and this is causing the system to pay out more money than it is taking in over the next two years.

Due to the high unemployment many Seniors are retiring earlier than expected causing applications for benefits to be 23 % higher than a year ago.  Many Seniors had not counted on retiring but have been laid off and cannot find work.

This situation could become even worse. 55% of workers 60 to 64 are still in the work force. Hits to the stock market are keeping Seniors in the workforce.  Many want to wait until they are 67 to start collecting benefits to get bigger checks. However many are being forced to start collecting early due to layoffs and inability to find a job.

The system is already hurting due to the drop in payroll taxes being paid because of high jobless numbers. If the recession continues, more Seniors may opt to start drawing benefits when they can’t find work, further straining the system.

No degree-No problem for your job search

 

 

Chris Wodke

www.summittrainingpublications.com

 

 

Searching for a job is tough, even more so when you don’t have a degree required for a position. Some jobs like pharmacists, doctors and nurses absolutely require a degree. Other occupations like training and sales sometimes allow entry without a degree.

 

Here are some things you can do if you don’t have degree for the type of job you want.

 

Key words
Check job listings. Let’s say you want a training job, but don’t have a degree in Adult Education.  Check for experience key words you can put in your resume. If the job posting lists development training materials, highlight your writing experience on your resume. Highlight your skills with key words that match the job listing.

 

Experience
Degrees are crucial when first entering the job market.  If you have experience you can sometimes get away without having a degree.  If you are looking for a sales job, the most important thing you can list on your resume and talk about in your interview is your sales experience.  Focus on the sales results and the number of clients you obtained.  Results will get you the interview and the position.

 

 

Career Change

If you have successfully transitioned careers once before in your career, leverage that experience. Any of the efforts you did before can be used again. Making a transition once shows you have the ability to learn the new skills needed.  Talk about the transition you made and how you did it.  For instance I made a transition from engineering to Product Safety. I had changed from one branch of engineering to another earlier in my career. I showed I was able to learn a new field and would be able to learn Product Safety as well.

 

 

Volunteer Work

I got my start as a trainer by doing training for the National Ski Patrol.  I had years of experience working with adults  The experience I had as a volunteer more than made up for my lack of degree. I was able to function very successfully as a trainer based on my volunteer experience.

 

 

Network

Use your network to find out about openings before they are advertised. Companies will be more flexible about requirements before a job is posted.  Use any contacts you have inside the company to give you a recommendation. This will carry allot of weight and can make up for the lack of a degree.

 

 

If you have the skills and experience you can make up for a lack of a degree. Just be ready to show you have the skills needed to make you successful.

Cool Tool for Researching Salaries

Chris Wodke

www.summittrainingpublications.com

There is a really cool tool available on Career Builder that can help you determine jobs in your salary range and to help you determine what your skills are worth. The site has a three ways to search jobs and salary: 

Jobs by Salary Tool 

Type in the salary you want and they will provide a list of jobs in the salary range.    I selected the $100,000- $104,000 range, location, and then pressed the search button. A table of jobs appeared. I then selected the Real-Time Power Trader listing. It told me everything I needed to know about the job including growth and requirements.  

Career Builder Salary Tool

Salary Calculator and Range Finder 

Type in your current job title or the title of the job you are researching and your geographical area.  If you type in Training Supervisor for instance you will get a number of variations of the job title will appear. Select the one that most closely matches and a graph will appear with the salary range including the median salary.  There will also be a job description.  You can also browse for current openings across the country. 

Cost of Living Comparison 

What if you are taking a job in Chicago?  You will need to know how much more salary you will need if you are going to live in Illinois. Career builder cost of living comparison tool can help you figure out how much more salary you will need. If I type in a salary of $50,000 and enter I am moving from Wisconsin to Illinois. I then enter I am moving from Milwaukee to Chicago. The calculator tells me I will need $51, 097 to have an equivalent salary if I take a job offer in Chicago. 

Pretty cool tools and they are fun to play with. They can give you some serious help with your job search and knowing the type of salary you need to ask for as part of your negotiations.
