How Industry Dominates Newbies

How Industry Dominates Newbie’s Home Blogging How Industry Dominates Newbie’sBloggingcareerHow Industry Dominates Newbie’sBy Manishi Pande - February 12, 201820700Facebook It’s harsh but true some of you might have faced this or you might face It in future, at times industry dominates you for no reason. Let me give you how this whole process is carried out or where actually you may face this domination.Industry that I am talking about can be MNC’s or Person belonging to such big company or an experienced person having served in company and now is a founder of the company.Case 1MNC collaborating with SME Contents hide 1 MNC collaborating with SME 2 Experienced Industry Professional (Owner of a company) collaborating with Young Professional (Working as freelancer) In this case today many MNC(Multi National Company) outsource some works to SME(Small Medium Enterprise) as they quote lesser price compared to big company. MNC people target SME due to many reasons e.g. its costs less amount when they outsou rce the work, they get product delivery on time etc. Few MNC take this advantage and try to dominate small companies. They think the TAG itself is enough to threaten small companies. MNC do not pay on time to vendors and the reason they give is” you know how our process is, it takes too long to for payment clearance”. Even after working damn hard they do not pay on time. They will ask to deliver certain task within an hour which small companies still do even if that task may take a day, small companies work even after office hours still they do not get what they deserve.Some MNC people are hired from top B schools, so they normally do not have practical knowledge and then they get an opportunity to develop new products. First of all they will ask SME to provide suggestions and work on it. Then they interrupt in between and ruin the whole product. At the end they blame SME.This is what happening in our market today. People do not have much idea about it. It’s not only about MNC , It’s about people who are handling and continuing the chain, The founder does not even know what is happening in his company.Case 2Experienced Industry Professional (Owner of a company) collaborating with Young Professional (Working as freelancer)Some experienced people open a company and then outsource few works. Few of them contact their network, juniors, or register at certain website from where they can hire people to do work.Few of them take their juniors for granted they will get the work done and in the end they will delay in payments. As they are hiring freelancers, generally they do not have contract so clients delay the payments. Then they will teach you how to deliver work and take follow-up. As you won’t get payment on time and you have been told that you will get payment by certain date and once you do not get it, what you will do? You will remind them right? Every time when you do not get you will call /email/text them.This people will clear your payments and in the end they will blame you for not giving work as per expectations and on time. At the end its will ruin your relationship with them.All this may or may not happen to you. Remember to work with people whom you think can be trusted and who will pay you on time.Sometimes you get to know your seniors actual attitude in terms of professionalism when you get an opportunity to work for/with them.To all the students or fresher working in a company here is my request always be honest and always communicate with other in a way that do not hurt someone as you will be someday at senior level. You are the one who can stop this domination when it’s your turn to lead the company. Learn from your mistakes, experience and move-on in life. Do let me know if you have faced any such domination in past! Thank you!

My Love Hate Relationship With French Fries

My Love â€" Hate Relationship With French Fries I pride myself with being a healthy eater.   Not only that, I don’t have any addictions to bad things of any sort that might be taken into my body.   I’m not a teetotaler, mind you, but have always kept the advice of “moderation in all things.”     But if there was one weakness I had to admit to, it’s french fries.      I know they are very bad for me.   And yet I,  like everyone else, well,  I love them! French Fries: The Good Ok, so nothing is all bad, right?   There must be good things about french fries, too.   I mean, they’re potatoes, how bad can they   be?   So, what’s good?   According to positivemed.com: Potatoes are a great source of fiber and French fries are made from potatoes. Fiber helps pass waste through your system and lower cholesterol. (love fries = 1, hate fries 0) When you eat French fries, you are also getting some potassium, a nutrient present in potatoes. The energy you require throughout the day can be obtained from potassium. (love fries=2, hate fries 0) You body needs vitamin B6, also known as pyridoxine,  and this can be found in French Fries. Women may get even better benefits as B6 helps prevent bloating, menopause, and hormonal swings during the monthly cycle.   (Score two for this one!)(love fries =4, hate fries 0) According to the Agricultural Research Service in Navarre, potato skins are packed with 60 phyto-chemicals, many of these are flavonoids which help lower bad cholesterol and keep arteries clear. (love fries=5, hate fries 0) Potatoes are rich in kukoamines, a molecule that lowers the blood pressure. (love fries=6, hate fries 0) Is it time to head to McDonald’s for my contribution to the 16 pounds of fries the average American eats every year?   Not so fast! French Fries: The Bad A medium order of fries has 365 calories lurking in 17 grams of fat.   And about nobody orders a medium fries.   (love fries=6, hate fries=1) That same medium fries averages about 250mg of sodium, or 10% of the max we’re supposed to consume in a day.  That’s just the fries. (love fries=6, hate fries=2) Fries, like their cousin potato chips, are two of the highest sources of acrylamide, which is . . . wait for it . . . a carcinogen.   Very bad, double bad.   (score love fries=6, hate fries=3) Potatoes are starch.  French fries are made with white potatoes,   which  more easily convert to sugar   in the body.   So the body is forced to either use the energy right away or store it as  fat.   More fat.   Not good.   Strike two on fat.   (score love fries=6, hate fries=5) They are fried not just once but twice.   Once before they are frozen, and once prior to serving.   To maintain “freshness,”  through all that,  preservatives are used.   That also keeps the color and texture stable.   Now you know why that three year old fry under your car seat still looks good enough to eat.   If you’ve ever eaten one of those mummified fries, score this one double.   (score love fries=6, hate fries 7)(doh!) French Fries: The Ugly As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.   It’s no secret that in the United States 66% of the population is considered obese.   Nothing against large people, I just don’t care for all the ill health effects that come with it. That’s another one in the hate fries column. So there we have it.   Score:   Love fries=6, hate fries=8. So why am I craving a fresh, hot, salty, large order of french fries?!

5 Tips To Launch Your Sidehustle

5 Tips To Launch Your Sidehustle Its become a buzzword you just cant ignore.  While it may be simply a natural result of the post-recession years of stagnant economies, for many the sidehustle has become a way of life.  And whether out of necessity for additional income or for  the pursuit of your passions, its something everyone should seriously consider the new normal for grown-up life. In spite of all the negative stuff that is in the news every day, we live in a pretty awesome world.  There are literally hundreds of opportunities around us.  If youve been thinking about tuning out all that bad news, shutting off the television, and engaging life differently, here are five tips on getting a sidehustle started. Choosing the Right Sidehustle For You Even if initially your primary motivation is to create more income, theres no reason to start doing something you dont enjoy.  Ask yourself, what excites you?  What can you feel yourself drawn to and connected to before you even start? You may want to call it your passion.  Your calling.  No matter how you frame it, theres one or maybe a few things that have always just resonated with you.  You may have even thought how great it would be to be able to do that and make money.  That is what should be high on your list of possibilities. Choosing the Right Method of Delivery The internet has opened up huge new opportunities for virtually (no pun intended!) everyone.  Avocations and sidehustles that used to be difficult to launch are now not only feasible but infinitely easier.  In fact, 69% of new businesses start at home, and 72% of those are female owned.  The vast majority of those are internet-based. While you can go the brick and mortar route, its much more expensive and difficult to do on a part time basis.  And even some types of businesses that you might not think were suited to the internet have adaptations.  For a surprising look at how many possibilities there are, check out this list from Get Started Online How Much of Your Resources Should Go Into a Sidehustle? Remember, this is a SIDE hustle.  At least for now.  While you may have hopes that it will grow into an entrepreneurial empire, most experts say start small and learn.  Author and serial entrepreneur Patrick McGinnis suggests starting with an allocation of 10% of your time and financial resources. Think of small as a mini version of what it may someday be.  For starters, build all the pieces, develop all the systems and contacts, and collaborate to make your venture run so smoothly that growth is a natural outcome. Think Ahead To Anticipate Challenges Before you jump in headfirst to your new venture, its always wise to have at least a simple business plan.  These dont have to be elaborate, professionally prepared, and expensive plans.  There are plenty of free resources that give step by step help in creating a solid, workable plan. As you sit down to pencil out the on-paper version of your business, ask yourself these questions: What skills might I not have that Ill need to outsource and what will that cost? How can I utilize and contribute to a circle of supporters and collaborators? How might conflicts arise around my regular work and my family? Think Outside the Box In our world of norms, there are no norms.  The possible ways to bring your sidehustle to life are only limited by your imagination.  Sure, it might be wonderful to say you started out in your garage like so many legendary entrepreneurs.  But this is your path, and it has to work for you in your world. Suppose you just dont feel ready yet to go it all on your own.  Imagineering, a term coined by Walt Disney, might lead you to connect with a successful related business and ask to work on your niche under their umbrella.  This is just one example.  Imagineer yourself into a sidehustle that is perfectly fitted to your needs and life. The Sidehustle Starts Now Remember that there is a future waiting for you.  Yes, its that one thats out there five or ten years from now.  And, realize that that future doesnt care what your life looks like when you get there.  Its up to you to create it.  Theres no better time than now to take action.

Girls guide to getting the guy at work

Girls guide to getting the guy at work We all know that the workplace is a minefield for sexual tension. Where else do you lock up people of the opposite sex for eight hours a day, and tell them to talk with each other but not touch? It is unnatural, and ever since men let women into the workplace, we have been adjusting. It is totally normal to have a crush on someone at work. And it is totally normal for people to tell you not to act on it. And it is totally normal to throw caution to the wind. According to Helaine Olen, author of the book Office Mate, more than fifty percent of the population is dating someone from work. So if youre going to do it, here are some best practices for getting the guy: 1. Flirt verbally rather than nonverbally According to research reported in the Journal of Psychological Science (via Live Science), men are not good at reading nonverbal cues. They mistake a friendly smile as a sexual overture, for example. But researchers found that men also missed nonverbal signs of sexual interest: When images of gals meant to show allure flashed onto the screen, male students mistook the allure as amicable signals. At work, the context of flirting is less defined than a science experiment, which means there will be even more missed cues. On top of that, if your office is full of knowledge workers, who are paid because they do a good job of synthesizing information, the missed cues will probably be even higher. Why? Because research about Aspergers syndrome tells us how the brain develops its ability to read nonverbal cues. We know that childrens brains learn this skill early in life. And we know that kids who seem to think like a young Einstein often have Aspergers syndrome, where the side of their brain for logic, spatial abilities, and memorizing grows at the expense of the side of the brain for reading nonverbal social cues. So it seems to me that the cluelessness of men when it comes to reading sexual overtones is actually on a spectrum, and the more extreme their abilities are in the high-IQ side of the brain, the more extreme their inability to read nonverbal sexual cues will be. (And this explains why the conversation about this research on the geek-genius blog Slashdot is so spunky.) 2. If you know hes interested, play hard to get If you know the guy is interested, make him work to get you. Live Science reports that the male need for the chase is so strong that it even happens in lab micegiven the choice of two girl mice, the boy mouse goes for the girl mouse who is more difficult to conquer. And we know that both men and women do not take relationships seriously if theres no chase, because, according to Cosmo magazine, only 3% of couples who have sex on first dates end up getting married. So you are going to have to play hard to get at work if you want more from the guy than just a fling. (Interesting side note about the chase: Most women intuitively play hard to get, until they find Mr. Right, and then men and women want to have sexand violate societal sex normsat the same rate.) 3. Dont make the first move if you are not the same age Match.com reports that roughly 80% of both sexes are willing to make the first move. But when the man and woman are not in the same age group, men usually make the first move at work. In a study of long-term relationships between older women and younger men, more than 95% of the men made the first move. And research from University of Santa Cruz shows an almost institutionalized way for older men to make the first move is to initiate a productive mentoring relationship with a woman and then follow that up with a sexual overture. So if the guy is your age, buy the book Office Mate, which is a handbook for making passes at co-workers. If the guy is not your age, play hard to get. And either way, remember that the average worker today changes jobs every eighteen months, so if things go bad dating at work, youll find a new job soon enough anyway. And in the end, the problem of figuring out if you want to be involved with someone at work might be harder than actually making it happen.

The Seven Key Traits of a Great Leader - Kathy Caprino

The Seven Key Traits of a Great Leader In the past several months, I’ve immersed myself in the process of understanding more about what makes a truly great leader in the corporate world.   I’ve also explored the current research and thinking about women’s leadership styles and approaches versus men’s, and I’ve compared what others are saying to my own experiences and research with women in corporate leadership positions.    I’m also focusing my own work now on helping women grow their leadership capabilities and reach their highest potential as leaders. It’s been a fascinating journey of learning which has led me to reframe some of my views about what it takes to be a positive leader who, through her own vision, efforts, and energy, can bring about deeply instrumental change in our world and our workforce. From where I sit today, great leadership is comprised of these seven behavioral traits: The leader… 1)           Embodies the way â€" She thinks, acts and behaves in ways that are congruent to what she holds to be true and valuable, in her company and in her world. She is a role model in every way for what she stands for and what she espouses. 2)           Inspires a shared vision â€" She envisions what is possible for the future, and infuses tremendous positive spirit and energy into that vision, allowing everyone who interacts with her a window into what is possible through collaboration, cooperation and contribution. 3)           Challenges content and process â€" She understands that adhering to the status quo and accepting things as they are is not the pathway to change and growth.   She uncovers new (yet unthreatening) ways of thinking, being, and doing â€" and encourages others to do the same in both “content” and “process. ”  These new ways allow for greater expansion and success. 4)           Empowers others â€" She invests time, energy and commitment in empowering and engaging others, building their self-reliance, independence and growth as individuals and as collaborators. 5)           Integrates the whole â€" She understands that when people bring their whole selves to a task, and when unity can be achieved rather than compartmentalization, the outcome is much greater than the sum of the parts.   She is an integrated individual herself, and fosters integration and wholeness in others and throughout the organization. 6)           Supports inclusion over hierarchy â€" She operates under the belief that inclusion is preferred over exclusion, and centrality is preferred over hierarchy.   She doesn’t long to sit alone at the top.   Instead, she wants to be in the center (in other words, at the heart) of a large and effective web of inclusion that does what it sets out to do, with ease, clarity, grace, and focus (for more on the web of inclusion, see Sally Helgesen’s The Web of Inclusion and The Female Advantage) 7)           Fosters the heart and spirit â€" Finally, she creates a supportive, healthy environment that allows all those involved to behave, think, and perform from a heart-based place, where they can feel and experience themselves as personally and professionally aligned.   She shapes an organization in which there is a solid common ground between what the individual wants and what the company wants from the individual.   Employees are able to engage their hearts and spirits in their work, rather than being diminished, penalized or alienated for being true to who they really are.   (For more in-depth coverage on several of these ideas, check out The Leadership Challenge, by Kouzes and Posner.   The ideas above represent my female perspective on some of its teachings). *   *   *   *   * In the end, the great visionary leader knows that the best and most effective organizations foster individuals’ natural talents, growth, strength, and self-reliance.   They nurture employees’ ability to connect to who they truly are.   Further, great leaders allow individuals to demonstrate at work what they know to be true of themselves, as well as give form to their life intentions in ways that are in service to the organization as well as the community and world at large.   In my lifetime, I’ve had the chance to serve under only a very small number of great leaders.   But I know this to be true when you do, it can be a life-changing experience. So, what are your thoughts on the above leadership traits?   Does your view of great corporate leadership match mine?   I’d love to hear your thoughts.   Which behavioral traits do you think are essential for an effective and compelling leader?   And how do you think men and women are different as corporate leaders? Thanks for sharing!
