Dont Vent About Annoying Co-workersDo This Instead - The Muse
Dont Vent About Annoying Co-workersDo This Instead - The MuseDont Vent About Annoying Co-workers- Do This InsteadIn the daily hustle of the workday, petty annoyances and inconveniences are par for the course. And often, when we counter those stressors, we handle them by complaining to anyone willing to listen. But complaining is complicated Sure, it can be a way of expressing frustration and eliciting advice from others. On the flipside, it can be destructive to workplace morale and your reputation. When you complain on a regular basis, those in earshot may question your trustworthiness, assuming that if youre gabbing about some colleagues, youre probably talking behind their backs, as well. Complaining also impacts the office culture as a whole, discouraging collaboration and contributing to the development of office cliques.Plus, while venting may provide temporary emotional relief, studies have shown that complaining doesnt actually make you feel better in the long run. Its an unp roductive vehicle for voicing your concerns that provides an illusion that youre fixing the problem but actually ends up generating even more dorfanger and hostility. So, how can you express your frustrations in a more effective way- one that leads to an actual solution and doesnt tarnish your image? Here are a few alternatives to venting that can help you get to the root of the issue. 1. Take a BreatherWhether it stems from your cubemates pen-tapping habit or a clients tendency to never return your calls, most of us are familiar with the blood-boiling sensation that arises when were annoyed. But when you feel this coming on in the office, recognize it, acknowledge it, and pause before any angry words begin to flow.When it comes to venting, timing is everything. You have to confront issues when the right people and resources are available to actually fix them. This means resisting the urge to go off the moment something upsets you, but instead, to reconsider the situation after youv e had a chance to cool down and gain a bit of perspective.For example, it probably wont play out in your favor to lash out about your colleagues knack for forgetting to make copies of key paperwork minutes before a high-stakes client meeting. Instead, use that energy to write down a list of the issues concerning you, then put time on the calendar to address the topic with that person once the meeting is over and your volatile emotions have passed.2. Make it About Problems, Not PeopleIf youre ultimately looking to resolve your workplace complaints rather than just go on a venting binge (which hopefully is the case), its much more constructive to reference specific behaviors and situations that irk you, rather than make sweeping accusations. For example, rather than saying Steven, youre always so rude to the junior staff, a better approach would be to pinpoint a recent, concrete example, and then frame it in the perspective of how it makes you feel. So, you could say, Steven, when you didnt say hello to the junior staff at the company dinner, I felt disappointed. By focusing on a specific situation, you can work toward a resolution to that issue- rather than simply putting the other person on the defensive with a broad accusation.3. Focus on the Positive Focus on SolutionsA little empathy goes a long way to turn complaints into resolutions, so as difficult as it may be, try making the shift from assuming that others have malicious intent to giving them the benefit of the doubt. For example, if you have a colleague whos surely pounding on her keyboard for the sole purpose of annoying you, try saying, Hey, I know you probably dont realize how loudly you type, but the office echoes and the noise is making it tough for me to concentrate. By phrasing it this way, youre asserting your concerns while softening any unnecessary confrontation. Along the same lines, try framing the situation in a positive light. For example, you might say, Sitting near each other has made it easier to work together on projects, like the email campaign we rocked last month, but a couple of my prospects are complaining that they cant hear me on the phone over the background noise. Most importantly, come prepared with ideas in hand for how to improve the situation or achieve a compromise, such as, Ill start giving you a heads up before I jump on an important call so we can make sure were on the same page. Your colleagues will appreciate that youre willing to help find a solution rather than just point out the problems.Workplace annoyances have always been and always will be a fact of life. By learning how to address them constructively, youll reduce the anger and contribute to a healthier workplace environment. Photo of angry woman courtesy of Shutterstock.

Stages You Go Through When Your Co-Worker Quits - The Muse
Stages You Go Through When Your Co-Worker Quits - The MuseStages You Go Through When Your Co-Worker Quits So you just heard the news Your colleagues leaving. Even if you were expecting this announcement, its easy to get caught up in a roller coaster of emotions during this time. After all, not only could your workload and responsibilities be changing, but you could be losing someone very close to you. In fact, you could even be wondering how youll get through a workday without this person by your side. (The person you talk about so much on the weekends that your friends get jealous.) Such changes arent ever easy, no matter how many times they happen. But take it from someone who just lost her own close work buddy- you can power through this rough patch and come out refreshed and ready to take on new challenges. Hey, it might even work out in your favor. But, before you get to the light at the end of the tunnel, you have to get through the tunnel.Heres what to expectStage 1 Reflection Unless you were privy to your colleagues secret plans, chances are you were caught off-guard by her sudden announcement. You might be asking yourself, Is this really happening? After all, this person has been part of your daily life for a long time. Remember that its perfectly normal to feel this initial shock and to get a little emotional. But also remember that youre not the only one who needs to digest this news. Everyone who works with this person is going through the saatkorn thing you are right now- especially your boss. And, your co-worker may be feeling a bit bittersweet as well dont make her second guess her decision by making this about you. Daily business operations still need to go on, so remember to stay professional and not let yourself spend the the next few days moping.Stage 2 Genuine EnthusiasmOnce you get over your initial shock, youll kick into friend mode. Youre genuinely happy for your colleague- hes worked so hard and deserves this new opportunity You may find yourself organizing some extra lunches or happy hours, or maybe youll take up a collection for a farewell gift. Regardless of how you celebrate, youll be overcome with the feeling that you need to celebrate this persons contributions- your monthly budget be damned.Stage 3 StressSure, youre happy for your colleague, but as soon as the reality tischsets in (and the two-week notice period dwindles down), panic and stress will probably start to set in. In my case, there were so many things that my colleague knew that I didnt after all, hed been with the company for 15 years compared to my two. How was I going to absorb all his tribal knowledge? Being in IT, a lot of people depended on my expertise- how would I ever going to answer all their questions? My time to get any and all of this answered was closing in, and I had to act fast. Which led me toStage 4 Motivation and ActionFaced with all those open questions, worry, and stress, I knew there was only way to help alleviate it Take acti on. My lack of time (again, only two weeks) was a very strong motivator. I immediately jumped into learning and organizing mode. I diligently scheduled knowledge transfer meetings and set specific objectives for each one. I sat and wrote down all those little nagging questions Ive always wondered about, and I made sure I got answers to as many as possible. If youre close, you can go ahead and throw in a few honest ones, too (e.g., Why are you really leaving?). I knew I was never going to learn enough to titelseite every possible situation, but I sure felt better knowing I had asked the tough questions and then documented the responses.Stage 5 ContentmentWhen your colleagues last day arrives, youll likely still have some mixed emotions its never easy saying goodbye to someone close to you. But since you turned your fears into action and came up with a plan, you should be feeling pretty good. You made it through this hectic time, and youre back to feeling happy for the person leaving. Sure, this may mean some extra hours and stress for a while, but it also means you have the chance for new responsibilities. And new responsibilities mean new opportunities for you. When I reflect back on the last six months, I see a lot of logged hours. But I also see that those hours were filled with valuable learning opportunities. If my colleague hadnt left, perhaps my knowledge wouldnt have grown quite as much. As it turned out, I surprised myself by learning, doing, and leading much more than I had in the past- and that is true workplace contentment. Plus, now when I grab drinks with my former co-worker, were not just rehashing the day, but instead actually talking about things that occur outside the schreibstube walls.

What Employers Look for in a Resume
What Employers Look for in a ResumeWhat Employers Look for in a ResumeYou can easily spend hours- or really, days or weeks- laboring over your resume. But will all that hard work result in a resume that matches what employers are looking for? A successful resume doesnt just showcase your work it matches recruiters and hiring managers expectations, clearly conveys that youre a good fit for the role, and above all, is easy to read and understand. What Employers Look for in a Resume Here is a look at some of the things that employers look for in a resume. This insight will help you make sure your resume matches employers expectations and desires. Ease of Reading Your resume should be written in a reasonably sized, legible font, and have normal-sized margins. Dont make hiring managers or potential interviewers wonder if they need a prescription for reading glasses - a too-tiny font is a sign you should cut some copy, or expand your resume onto a second page. Be mindful that your resume is easy to read both on screen and in a printed out hard copy. Scanability While you should labor over choosing the best action words and power verbs for your resume, and ensuring that everything is phrased perfectly, know that few hiring managers are actually reading your resume. Rather, they are speedily scanning the page, looking for keywords, job titles, and major facts that will show if you are a good fit for the position. Make it easy for employers to find this valuable information- include enough white space between lines and in the margins to make it scannable, and also put the focus on the relevant information. Qualifications An employers number one goal is to find a well-qualified candidate. How can you show that youre qualified, and the best possible person for the job? Start by matching your qualifications to the job - if employers are looking for someone who is detail-oriented, make sure your organizational skills and ability to manage lots of projects wi thout mistakes is on display. In the job descriptions on your resume, go beyond listing day-to-day tasks and responsibilities. Think bigger Employers want to know what youll accomplish if youre hired on. Give them a sense of your abilities by putting your achievements - whether its overhauling an inefficient system, saving the company money, or generating sales revenue - on display. And make sure that most relevant accomplishments, the ones that readily translate to the job you want,are most visible. Coherent Story Relevance is important when it comes to resumes - its notlage that employers are lazy, but that its in your best interest to make it as easy as possible for them to understand you as a candidate. Did you switch careers mid-stream? Consider leaving off some of the jobs from your first career, or grouping the job titles together with a very limited description. And, if its been decades since your first job, then its likely time to remove it from your resume. Use your resume to draw as straight a line as possible between your experience and accomplishments, and the job you want. If possible, try to show your career progression, too. Ideally, a resume should show that with each new role, you took on new challenges and increased responsibilities. Formatting Perhaps its a bit old-fashioned, but there is a certain traditional format and style to resumes. If you are going to break the rules, do so knowingly and carefully. Employers are looking to see if you can put together a presentable document. This is true for all jobs, but particularly positions where communications and presentation matter. Keep formatting consistent throughout the document. Hiring managers see a lot of resumes, so they know what should be included, such as contact information, education, etc. Make sure all of the expected information is in place. Avoid These Deal-Breakers Here are some easy ways to make recruiters flip past your resume, or reject it outright Typos Catch ing your own typos is very, very hard. Consider asking a friend or family member to give the document a review.Poor word choices or bragging While you want to tout your accomplishments, and use strong words to describe your responsibilities and achievements, be careful not to tip over the line into bragging. And, dont use the thesaurus so much in an attempt to avoid repetition that you use overly fancy, absurd-sounding words.An unreadable resume Whether because of typos, confusing formatting, or an illegible font, if its hard to read your resume, most likely, recruiters will skip it.
