Does unemployment make you fat?

Chris Wodke

http://www.summittrainingpublications.com/

Unemployment may lead to getting heavier according to a research paper by the National Bureau of Economic Research.

The research was done by Dhaveal Dave and Inas Rashad.  Their research was done by a phone survey of 350,000 Americans with different unemployment rates between 1990 and 2007. Their numbers are before the last recession hit. Here are some of their key findings:

• Increases in unemployment lead to a decrease in the consumption of fruits and vegetables. The reductions were 2 to 4 percent and 8 percent reduction in salad consumption.

Unemployment can have some good effects on health. Here are some other findings from their study.

• The more hours someone work and the higher the wages, the more they smoke.
• During recessions there are less fatal auto accidents and fewer deaths from disease.

The rate of increase of obesity may not only affect long term health but employment as well. Some studies suggest (http://jech.bmj.com/content/62/4/332.full) it may be harder for the obese to stay employed and to find employment once they lose work.

In 2009 Wisconsin  was ranked 24^th out the 50 states in obesity. 29.2% of our citizens were considered obese. That is up 0.9% since 2008. We had a 3 year average of 26.9%. So we have seen an increase in this recession.

Once unemployed and obese  you may have more trouble getting a job due to the social stigma of being overweight. Some employers think someone obese lacks discipline, they are worried about the associated health costs due to being over weight. Also because of the stigma against being overweight, candidates that are obese may not be seen as performing as well in interviews.

If you are overweight and unemployed, now may be the time to get more active and trim down. See you doctor before you undertake an exercise or weight loss program.

Where do you see yourself in five years?

 Chris Wodke

http://www.summittrainingpublications.com/

You may be asked this during an interview. Hopefully you are someone who makes goals and writes them down.  If so this question is easy.  If not get prepared by writing down your professional goals for the next 6 months, 1 year and 5 years.  Your daily activities should be in line with these goals.  Studies show people that write down their goals are much more successful than those without goals.

Once you have your goals written down you can begin to talk about where you see yourself in five years.  Keep the goals talk to professional development and advancement.

Here is how an answer might sound.

I want to secure an IT position in the financial industry. I have always been interested in stocks and financial planning which is what attracted me to this position. I have strong background in database management. I am also working on an MBA with a concentration in information systems and finance. So I will have a good background in the financial aspects of this company as well as IT issues. I would like to grow within this company.

A company is looking for a stable employee who will use their talents long term to help the company grow. Be sure to demonstrate that with any answer you give to this question.

Should you relocate?

 Chris Wodke

http://www.summittrainingpublications.com/

Are you faced with the need to relocate?  Your present employer is closing your locations, but you have been offered a spot at another location or you are unemployed and have a job offer in another city. Should you take it?  Here are some factors to consider:

Compensation

Consider the cost of living and the compensation package. If you are being asked to move from the Midwest to one of the coasts you will need a higher salary. If this is not being offered you are essentially taking a cut in pay.  Costs for housing, groceries, gas and taxes vary widely. Check an on line calculator to determine costs of living in your new location.

Moving Cost

Is the company compensating you for the cost of the move?  Expenses can add up quickly and include: fees for selling and buying real estate, moving supplies, hiring movers, fees for canceling leases or cable contracts.  There may be some house hunting expenses as well. You will need to stay somewhere while you are looking for a new place to live.  A typical move costs my company around $50,000.  Find out if you can afford to relocate to another city. Many company pay all or a portion of the expenses of moving. Be sure to negotiate this important benefit.

Quality of Life

Is the move taking you closer to family or farther away?  Will you be living in the country or in a large city? Will you have a longer or shorter commute? Average commute time in Milwaukee is 20 minutes.  It is over an hour in some parts of the country.  Are there opportunities to do the things you want to do?  If you are a skier, a move to Denver may be heaven. Determine the quality of life issues that are important to you and your family and evaluate the move with these issues in mind. Ask to talk to some employees living in the proposed location to get their viewpoint on daily life.

Schools

Some locations have such bad public schools you have to send your kids to private schools. If you have school age children this can be an important factor. If you want to advance your education, check into the availability of local university programs. Find out the local opportunities for professional development such as professional societies and networking events.

Opportunities

Is this move good for your career? Is it a promotion?  Are there lots of opportunities for advancement?   Some areas of the country like Dallas or Atlanta offer many more job opportunities than available currently in the Midwest.  If you lose your job, what are the prospects for local employment?  A move to Detroit right now would not bring you to an area with good area wide opportunities.

There are a lot of things to consider when making the decision to relocate.  Be sure to do your homework and think through all of the benefits and down side to making the move.

Nutrition for your job search

Chris Wodke

http://www.summittrainingpublications.com/

A job search can be stressful. Minimize that stress by eating the right foods. Follow these good nutrition guidelines to keep your stress to a minimum.

Foods that Aggravate Stress                 Stress Relief Foods       Good Snacks      

deep fried foods                                   Citrus fruits                               orange juice

any greasy food                                    foods rich in vitamin C  nuts

burgers                                                 lean protein                               frozen fruit bar

caffeine                                     potassium, calcium                    popcorn

sugar                                                    low fat dairy products  

candy bar,chips                                    vegetables and fruits

Orange/Citrus

The vitamin C in citrus fruits helps to stop the secretion of stress hormones.

Caffeine

Eliminate caffeine from you diet as much as possible. This can help reduce stress. Too much caffeine can give you the feeling of being on edge.  It may not be the cause of your stress, but may make you feel stressed.

Salt

Lowering the salt or sodium in your diet will lower your blood pressure. Read labels and look for products low in salt.Take 3 grams of salt out of your diet each day and you will reduce your risk of stroke 13% and heart disease 10%.  There are seven foods you can reduce to find the 3 grams.

·        ½ teaspoon salt

·        2 salted pretzels

·        3 slices of ham

·        7 cubes of cheese

·        2 packets of soy sauce

·        3 pickle spears

·        14 green olives.

Grape Juice

Red grape juice can lower blood pressure. Anthocyanis, a compound found in red grape skins helps to dialate blood vessels keeping them pliable.

Celery

Has been found to lower blood pressure in recent experiments.

Without a good breakfast your whole body suffers.

Mornings Suffer

Your body needs fuel to run. Skip breakfast and you may run out of energy mid-morning. You won’t be mentally sharp. 

Some people use caffeine to get by.

This is an artificial energy and adds another stress to your body. 

Caffeine also takes water out of your system. This also stresses your body.

Afternoons Suffer

If we skip breakfast it can be 18 hours from the time we eat dinner until lunch.

A person skipping breakfast typically eats 500-1000 calories at lunch. These then tend to be high fat calories.

The the body gets sleepy trying to digest all the food.

Bodies Suffer

Our bodies still need nutrition even if we skip breakfast.  The nutrients come from body stores.

 They are taken from muscle fibers, bones and soft tissue.  The result is a weakened body.

Pay careful attention to your diet during your job search. Take care of yourself so you can devote as much energy as possible to your job search.

Tell me about yourself

Chris Wodke

http://www.summittrainingpublications.com/

Don’t freeze up when asked this question or one like it in an interview.  The hiring manager does not want to know about your hobbies and zodiac sign.  This is a signal to pull out your resume and give a brief highlight of your professional history and accomplishments.  Paint a quick picture of your skills and the results you have accomplished.  You may even mention why you were interested in interviewing for the present position and why you are a good match.

Say something like "I went to work for Globe Union the day after high school. Since I was chemistry major, working as a lab technician in their Materials Testing lab was a good fit.  I graduated with a chemical engineering degree and stayed with the company moving to the research department.  I was part of a team that developed a new humidity for sensor. This new sensor saved the company $2 million in costs since we were buying from a supplier before.  I was promoted to supervisor of the team a year ago. I am currently working on my MBA. I am really interested in this position in Technical Sales because it combines my technical knowledge, people skills I have developed as a supervisor and the business skills I am learning in my current MBA program".

The answer to question is a little bit like your 30 second elevator speech. Expect to be asked this question at the start of an interview.  Practice your answer so you can easily and quickly review the highlights of your professional experience.

Get a good nights sleep before your interview

 Chris Wodke

http://www.summittrainingpublications.com/

To have a good interview you need to be well rested. There are several things you can do to help you fall asleep and stay asleep to wake up well rested.

Exercise

If you work out in the evening, schedule your workout at least three hours before bedtime. Exercise too close to bed time can keep you awake.

Beverages

Avoid caffeine in the afternoon and give it up for the entire day if you are sensitive. Skip the alcohol. A glass or two of wine or beer can help you fall asleep, but your sleep will be interrupted during the night if you consume alcohol. Be sure to stay well hydrated during the day with water. Aim to drink 6 to 8 glasses during the day, but do not consume water right before bedtime.

Food

Some foods are sleep stealers. Avoid spicy foods like garlic, chilies, cayenne pepper and MSG. These foods can cause heartburn and vivid dreams Gas producing foods like beans, cauliflower, broccoli and brussel sprouts can interfere with your sleep.  Eating too fast can cause you to swallow air which can cause stomach trouble. Eat slowly and enjoy your food. Large meals eaten late in the day can interfere with sleep. Make lunch your biggest meal of the day and keep dinner under 500 calories. Give your food several hours to settle before you retire.

Set the Stage

Your bedroom should be a place to relax and sleep. Keep work and TV out of the bedroom.  Your bedroom should be quiet to provide a restful environment.  If it isn’t use a white noise generator to block out noise. Start to wind down 20 minutes before bedtime with a relaxing activity like reading. Make sure your bedroom is not too warm.

If you routinely have problems sleeping, see your health care provider. Get a good nights sleep and have a great interview!

Why didn’t I get the job?

 Chris Wodke

http://www.summittrainingpublications.com/

     Maybe you had and interview and you think it went really well. You were certain you were going to get an offer, but you didn’t get the job and you wonder why.  If you had good rapport with the interviewer and you feel comfortable doing so, give them a call and ask for feedback. This may leave a very positive impression. If may just be that you were narrowly edged out by a more qualified candidate. The fact that you took the time to get feedback leaves a favorable impression. That could lead to them letting you know about positions they know are open in their organization or openings they are aware of through their network.

     If you have a network contact within the organization, perhaps they can find out how the interview went and provide you with some feedback.  Your contact at the very least may tell you a little about the person who was hired and their qualifications. Either form of feedback can be very important to prepare for the next opportunity.  The feedback could be on the way you present yourself in the interview and can be corrected.  If your credentials are not strong enough, take steps to get the skills and/or experience you need.

     What if you aren’t even getting interviews? Check in the following areas:

Networking

You need to network effectively. Use you network to find out about openings. Use your network within an organization to give you the scoop on the position and the company. This type of information can help you prepare to impress for interviews. Get a professional profile up on networking sites like linkedin and facebook.

Cover Letter

Pay attention to the cover letter. Don’t be tempted to use a generic letter or skip using one.  Customize the cover letter for each job and use it to introduce your skills and experience.

Job Search

Use a variety of sources when conducting a job search. Use the internet, your network, alumni organizations, professional organizations. Tell everyone you meet you are searching for a job.

Resume

Target your resume to companies identified by your network, job postings and informational interviews.  Do not blanket the market with your resume, then sit back and wait for things to happen.

Follow-up

Check with the human resources department to make sure they got your resume. E-mail is not always reliable and you want to get confirmation of its arrival.  Do not pester HR and the hiring manager with endless phone calls.

Burnout

You can’t spend all day every day looking for a job.  Write a goal of the type of job you want. Make a task list of the things you need to do to accomplish the goal. Spend a few hours a day of focused time on your search.

Throughout the process show your interest in the position.  In the cover letter and during the interview express your interest in the job and your desire to join the organization.
