How to Answer Job Interview Questions About Multitasking

How to Answer Job Interview Questions About Multitasking How to Answer Job Interview Questions About Multitasking In a job interview, a potential employer might ask you how you handle a situation when you are in the middle of working on a singular task, and you are asked to jump on something else at the same time. This probe is geared toward assessing your ability to multitask. How you answer this question really depends on the job you are applying for, as well as the qualities the potential employer is looking for in an ideal new hire. For example, a television producer or registered nurse must be able to multitask, like a juggler in a circus ring. However, if you are applying to be a copywriter or massage therapist, multitasking is not as much of a concern. What the Interviewer Really Wants to Know In most situations, a hiring manager is asking if you can juggle a few things at once. Its a fair question, especially with the sheer number of phone calls, emails, and meetings that can come up on a given day. However, in some lines of work, multitasking is not the ideal. It can mean that your attention is drawn away from your main task, which has a few risks. It may take longer to accomplish a task, and the task may be prone to errors. A person is usually more efficient when allowed to focus on one task at a time. In work, something usually comes up that will derail your concentration on your primary task. Interviewers know that time management can sometimes suffer at the hands of multitasking. How to Answer Job Interview Questions About Multitasking As you’re preparing an answer, consider the job description. Would multitasking help in this role, or would it seem like a sign that you can’t focus on one thing at a time? Once you’ve figured out what the interviewer is looking for, match your qualifications to the job and emphasize those skills that are most valuable to the employer. For example, if you’re applying for a job as graphic designer on a busy design team, come to the interview with anecdotes about how you handle multiple deadlines, tasks, and requests. Then, be sure to mention your hard skills, like software programs that are essential to the job. Examples of the Best Answers I like to multitask, in my personal as well as my professional life. I prefer to have many things going on at once. It keeps me interested and moving forward. Expand Why It Works: Assuming the job for which you’re interviewing involves many different tasks and types of work, this answer shows that you’re a good fit. You come across like someone who’s excited by having a lot of projects, not stressed by dividing their attention. If you want something done, ask a busy person! I find gratification in accomplishing more than less, so I prefer to take on a little more. It’s better than handling only one issue at a time. I’ve learned to batch tasks so that I’m focusing on similar activities at the same time. That way, I don’t lose time and focus when I switch tasks. Expand Why It Works: Task-switching is expensive in terms of time and energy, so if you’re going to claim to be a successful multitasker, it’s a good idea to show that you understand the potential pitfalls and can navigate them. I am best when I am multitasking. When I tackle one problem at a time, I tend to dwell on the solution. Meanwhile, when I have multiple things to accomplish, I am able to focus on the most accurate solution right away. Expand Why It Works: This answer shows that you’re focused on quality, not just quantity. Even in jobs where the ability to multitask is prized, being able to produce good work is important. I prefer to handle one project at a time. It allows me to focus on the task at hand. However, in business, while that would be ideal, the reality is that I need to be able to adjust to outside forces. When a lot of things come at me at once, I create a checklist, which helps me to prioritize and guides me to work on the most pressing needs first. Expand Why It Works: If you’re not great at multitasking â€" and that skill isn’t a requirement for the job â€" being up front is your best bet. This response also shows that you can adapt to your environment and develop coping mechanisms that allow you to excel. Tips for Giving the Best Answer Determine whether multitasking is a job requirement. Carefully read the job advertisement, paying close attention to the requirements section. It should be fairly obvious whether this job requires multitasking or singular focus. Emphasize your skills that fit the job description. Show that you can develop mechanisms to cope with challenges. Let’s say you’re not a natural multitasker, but the ability to juggle multiple projects is a requirement of the job. In this case, talk about what you’ve done to enable yourself to succeed in that type of environment. What Not to Say Don’t stretch the truth. You’re likely to get caught, losing the offer or the job once you’re hired. But even if you manage to fake your way into the position, you’re unlikely to be happy in your new role. Why? Because you’re not a good fit â€" no matter what you’ve convinced the hiring manager. Avoid appearing scattered. Multitasking effectively means being able to switch focus with efficiency. Make sure that your answer demonstrates that you can complete tasks and achieve goals, not just work on multiple things at once. Possible Follow-Up Questions What is your greatest weakness? â€" Best AnswersWhat is your greatest strength? â€" Best AnswersHow would you describe your work style? â€" Best AnswersDo you work well with other people? â€" Best AnswersHow would you describe the pace at which you work? â€" Best Answers Key Takeaways REVIEW THE JOB DESCRIPTION: Look for indications that multitasking (or focusing on one thing) might be valued.  PREPARE TO EXPLAIN YOUR PROCESS: Not a natural multitasker? Explain how you’ve learned to task-switch effectively.BE TRUTHFUL IN YOUR RESPONSE: Don’t claim to have skills you don’t possess. Instead, look for opportunities to emphasize your skills.

Why the risks of early retirement are overrated

Why the risks of early retirement are overrated Why the risks of early retirement are overrated There’s no doubt that quitting your full-time  source of income  in your 30s, and expecting to live not 20, 30, or even 40 more years…try, 60 or 70, without a dedicated income for more than half of your life, is a risk.But for most of us, it’s a calculated risk.Follow Ladders on Flipboard!Follow Ladders’ magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and more!Calculated risks are referred to as “calculated” for a reason. And no, I’m not talking about math. I’m talking about you. You’re the only equation that matters.Early retirement isn’t just financial. It’s organic. The likelihood of living the next 50 or 60 years without a consistent source of income or ever having to worry about money is real, and it’s all in your head. It’s a  mind game.All that organic chemistry that collectively makes up every tiny bit of YOU is the primary driving force behind early retirement, and the risks of quitting the rat race early are n’t  deep-seeded  in math. Not in the stock market. Not real estate.They are seated within you.There’s more than one way to think about the risks of early retirementI don’t know about you, but I’ve heard too many stories that go something like this:“My dad retired at 65. Three weeks after retirement, he went in for a routine checkup and the doctors found a baseball-sized growth on his kidneys. He was dead in three months.“Frankly, I’m sick of those stories. I hate them. Every one.People ignore the proven and statistical risks that come from jobs  â€" especially stressful ones. As  ABC reports: “A growing body of research stands testament to this fact: lack of sleep has been shown to tax the hearts of the stressed executive and the stressed day worker alike.“Layoffs,” the report continues, “can take their psychic and physiologic toll in the executive suite and on the production line; the burden on those left behind, who work more overtime to shoulder a heavier w orkload, can be life-shortening; and living in fear of losing a job, or staying put in a hostile workplace, also boosts the risk of an earlier cardiac death.”I hate the risk of  not retiring early  more than the opposite. To work the vast majority of our life and then retire during the portion of our life where we’re  more likely to get sick  is a dreadful thought. To develop cancer. Suffer from mobility-inhibiting aches and pains. It’s painful to even think about.Consider this graph from  Cancer.gov.  The wide majority who develop cancer are above the age of 50.The highest incidents of cancer occur between 65 and 74 which, coincidently, happens to coincide closely with the age that we can draw social security without penalty: 62. Does anyone else see a problem with this?This flat freaks me the hell out.To me, it’s  way more risky to retire during the period when we’re most likely to develop a health problem  than it is much earlier in life.At what point do we begin to con sider the risks of NOT retiring early and weigh those against the risks of quitting the rat race early?Risk is a two-way street, my friends.I’ve been asked before: “What if you develop a debilitating disease and need expensive healthcare? You’ll never be able to afford it.”My response is simple: “Okay, but what if I don’t?“The risks of early retirementThis post isn’t meant to diminish the risks of early retirement. Risks of early retirement exist. Popular arguments for risks include: Heavy index-fund investors are setting themselves up for failure upon the next market crash The  Trinity 4% “Rule”  is based on old and antiquated data Early retirees don’t have a diversified asset class, which makes single points of failure likely Retiring during a bull market is easy, but it’s not quite as easy once the bull is replaced with a furry little bear Frankly, none of these arguments are necessarily “wrong”. Yes, heavy-index fund investors do stand to lose money when the market tanks. And yes, the next bear market will test many of us who retired in the last couple years.But, let me be clear about the Trinity 4% rule: I hate the term “rule”.Contrary to popular critique, the 4% safe withdrawal rate is not some one-size-fits-all approach that people â€" come hell or high water â€" must  blindly and stubbornly adhere to for the duration of their retirements.Doing so would mean that we humans are purely robots, programmed to aimlessly march forward using the same infantile cognitive powers that we  have always had, unable to think for ourselves, make our own choices and adjust to the times.Instead,  a large majority of us are using the 4% rule  as a guideline.Meaning, we choose a number that we believe to be a reasonably safe withdrawal rate and start into our retirements by withdrawing from our investments  that  amount of mo ney.But, as well-known personal finance and early retiree blogger Mr. Money Mustache  writes  (and one who happens to  believe in the 4% principle), there are no guarantees in life and we should  always adjust our expenditures based on economic conditions.In other words, critics of the 4% rule are missing the point that many early retirees grasp: We aren’t blindly following any “rule”, here. Early retirement isn’t about rules.In fact, it’s precisely the damn opposite.  We don’t follow the rules.We march to the beat of our own drums and do so on our own free will. The risks inherent in the 4%  foundation, along with those of heavy index-fund investing or asset classes are only as serious as the innate willingness of the early retiree to morph and adjust to the changing times.The fact is we humans can endure a LOT…when we need to.Early retirees aren’t robots; we adjust to risk and meet them head onOn paper, it might seem that early retirees are accepting too much risk. But what the paper misses is the motivation and determination of those people and families to do whatever it takes to make it work.What we’re missing here is the very nature of most early retirees.We aren’t your average Joe or Jane. We are typically creative and determined. Most of us retired early because we possess a vision for our future that’s light years better than the default behavior of working into our 60s and  hoping we have some productive years left.Most retirees are Gumby-like humans, capable of moving, twisting and contorting to position themselves to accurately confront economic conditions.If a retiree’s portfolio losses 30% of its value â€" as many did during the housing market crash of 2008,  most adjust their spending habits and lifestyle  â€" like good little human beings capable of making sound adjustments.Picture this: you’re standing in the middle of the road and there’s  a fully-loaded semi-tractor trailer barreling in your direction. The tractor- trailer, in this case, is analogous to a looming recession. Or some kind of catastrophy that we can see coming.At first, you’re enjoying your position in the middle of the road and stay put. After all, it’s entirely possible that the trailer will turn and instead head down a side street before it hits you.It is also possible that the trailer will simply stop, stare you dead in the face but not actually approach your position. Maybe it’ll suffer a flat tire and be forced to the side of the road. Who knows â€" the trailer may not hit you.But eventually, that trailer gets closer to you. 250 yards. 150 yards. 50 yards.Okay, this thing isn’t stopping.What happens at this point? Naturally, we move our asses off the road and let the trailer pass us by, suffering dust inhalation as it passes and maybe a thrown pebble or two.We don’t, on the other hand, stand there like idiots and let this thing plow into us.We adjust like brain-powered human beings, and our financial situation is no different, especially after retirement when the paychecks stop floating in.We take our initial position and enjoy it. We notice an oncoming threat  and we move if it gets close. If we haven’t seen a threat  in 6 months, we might lay down and spread out a bit.Being flexible is our calculated hedge against risk.The risks that can bite us in the assAt the beginning of this post, I said that early retirement is a risk. I still believe it is. But, I believe it’s a calculated risk. For many of us, it’s a risk worth taking because, though one of the endless “what ifs” of life could happen, there’s also a sure thing:If we don’t retire early, we WILL be stuck in an office during the most productive years of our life, retiring only when we’re most likely to develop health problems that can significantly affect our quality of life.Sorry, but it’s not worth it to me. That risk is too great, and based on the numbers, it’s darn near impossible to avoid.There are risks that we cannot possibly avoid, such as: Developing a rapid health problem that requires expensive hospitalization A week-long 50% drop in the stock market A lawsuit that wipes you out of your savings A car accident that leaves you saddled with medical bills forever Frankly, the risks are endless.But, here’s what I believe: Those risks are inherent with every one of us regardless of whether we hold full-time jobs or not.I won’t live my life based on the what ifs. I refuse.If something happens, I deal with it when it happens. But, I’ll always have years of freedom to look back on. All those mornings that I got up without a care in the world and the whole day in front of me to do with as I please.Those memories can’t be taken from me (okay, except for Alzheimers).I’m risking the what ifs in retirement because I can’t stomach the risks of spending the rest of my life doing a job that I don’t enjoy. That’s not what life is about.You only live once. I don’t want to  work  it. I want to live it.This article first appeared on Think Save Retire.    You might also enjoy… New neuroscience reveals 4 rituals that will make you happy Strangers know your social class in the first seven words you say, study finds 10 lessons from Benjamin Franklin’s daily schedule that will double your productivity The worst mistakes you can make in an interview, according to 12 CEOs 10 habits of mentally strong people

Here's the optimal bedroom temperature for sleeping like a baby Here's the optimal bedroom temperature for sleeping like a baby When it comes to sleep, some of us are very high maintenance.

For most people, the ideal temperature for slumber is between  60 and 67 degrees  Fahrenheit.Although some people associate being cozy and warm with better sleep,  keeping your bedroom cool instead of warm can actually facilitate quality slumber. This is because when you’re lying in bed about to snooze, your body temp erature  naturally decreases  to help initiate sleep.

Because of this gradual  rise in body temperature, some troubled sleepers experience “night sweats,” frequently waking up in the middle of the night drenched in sweat.

Resolve to Make Happiness a Ritual

Resolve to Make Happiness a Ritual Resolve to Make Happiness a Ritual Resolve to Make Happiness a Ritual Reynolds, author of Why People Fail: The 16 Obstacles to Success and How You Can Overcome Them (Jossey-Bass, 2011) In the last fifteen years there has been a colossal amount of research conducted on what makes humans happy. Suffice to say that there are numerous things you can do to quickly improve your mood. Let’s face it: nobody feels fantastic every day. We all have our dark periods. But by following this elementary yet exceedingly potent ritual, you can tangibly reduce your black moods and enjoy vastly greater periods of feeling happy. The important point to remember about happiness is that it is not just dependent on events that occur in your life. It is your reaction to those events that dictates your mood. If you choose to just shrug your shoulders and brush off adversity, then bad moments won’t hurt you much. If you become a drama queen and take bad stuff personally, regular stress and misery will be your companions. Ultimately it really is up to you. The moment you take responsibility for your moods, you begin to see that you are in control of them. It’s a very important mental game you must learn to play. Make this ritual of mood control part of your life and just watch how your moods improve. HAPPINESS RITUAL Early morning Visualize the day going well (5 minutes) List all the good things in your life Exercise (10 minutes plus) Evening Review all the good moments of the day (1 minute) Think of all the things you’re grateful for (1 minute) Visualize your life going well (5 minutes) Within a week of practicing this simple system, the results will be substantial. Your habits of thinking (your brain’s neural pathways) will begin to change for the better. You’ll get used to expecting and imagining a vibrant, positive future, with the key events in your life going well. Sure enough, that positive expectation will improve your performance and presentation and your results will also improve.   It becomes a virtuous circle:   your thoughts create better results, and then your better results create better thoughts. Now consider the alternative. If you don’t do this daily happiness ritual, your moods are far more likely to go up and down with your changing circumstances. People who don’t have a system for regulating their moods experience more oscillations in their happiness. Without a controlling force, they are virtually certain to sail on rougher mental waters. I can think of no more valuable technique to quickly improve the quality of your daily experience and uplift the level of your thinking. After all, why is it that so many people want to be rich, successful, or famous? It’s because of the way they believe it will make them feel. Well, rather than spend years trying to reach those goals, why not be more direct and simply address your moods themselves? Do the Happiness Ritual each day and you’ll feel great. In fact, you’ll feel better than many people who are rich or famous actually feel day to day. To master your moods is truly to be king of the world.
