“The Complete Career Planning Guide Toolbox”

http://strategic-services-aust.com/Career-Planning-Guide-Toolbox.html
Welcome
Welcome to the Career Planning 101 Checklist, your mini toolkit
for success in life and in business.

If you have already picked up your copy of The Career Planning Guide
Toolbox, you have some idea of the direction you want to move in as a
student or any other individual attempting to plot their career.

There are many important phases as you know in the career planning
process. This checklist will help you stay organized on your journey, to
help you make the most of your career planning and to help ensure your
success.

You can apply this checklist no matter what stage you are in the career
planning process. The first part of the checklist is designed for college
students and even high school students interested in expanding their
horizons.

The second part of the checklist is for anyone interested in career

planning, including the phases involving expansion and growth of your
career. You can use this checklist whether you want a promotion at your
current job or whether you want to invest in an entirely new career. When
it comes to career planning, a world of opportunities awaits you.

The more you prepare for your future, the better able you are to make the
most of your skills, talents and abilities so you can benefit from them and
enjoy your future. Now let’s take a look at the first checklist you should
follow when plotting or mapping your future.

The first checklist is simple and easy, yet incorporates many of the
principles discussed in The Career Planning Guide Toolbox. Make sure
you get out a pen and piece of paper so you can work along with the
checklist.
College Career Planning Checklist

The best time to start planning your career is while you are still in
school, whether high school or college. If in high school, if you
start planning your career you can better decide what major to
follow and what classes will lead you down the right career path.

If in college career planning will prove essential to your ability to

transform your education into skills you can use to profit from in the
future. Here are the key steps in the college (or high school) career
planning checklist:

9 During your first year of college or last year of high school, take
some time to consider what your career goals are. As part of the
career planning process, you should write down what your goals are
related to your future career and your education.

9 Explore the various opportunities around you. You can do this

during the early years of your education. Now is the time to collect
as much information as you can about occupations, careers and
your interests.

9 Inventory your skills, abilities, hobbies and interests. This can

happen during any phase of your education, but works best when
conducted early in your studies. Finding out what you are good at
helps you decide whether the occupation you have an interest in
would be a good fit for you or not. You may be surprised to find out
what types of opportunities become available to you depending on
your skill set.

9 Look for opportunities to gain experience in the field you want to

work in. These opportunities may come in various forms, including
through work study programs, through volunteer programs, by
internships or even through corporations that allow job shadowing
and mentoring. If you know someone that works in the field you
aspire to, talk to them and ask them what you can do to enhance
 your odds of excelling in the field. You should also ask them about
the highs and lows of their career, so you know what to expect
when you get into it.

As a student or individual seeking to expand your career opportunities, it

is important you realize that all occupations and fields have their highs
and their lows. You shouldn’t look at any one job as a bowl of roses.

The choice you make about a career may depend in part on how many
lows you are willing to endure compared to career highs. For example, the
career of your dreams may pay a dismal amount of money.

If you find this is the case, do not leave heartbroken. Perhaps there are
additional ways to earn added income so you can still follow your dreams
but also keep up with the cost of living. Let’s say for example you would
like to pursue education or writing. There are many grants available to
students and professionals in these fields for the purpose of supporting
projects and providing extra money when needed.

Keep an open mind about what opportunities are available to you, and
you won’t be disappointed in the results.

Now that we know some of the basic career planning steps, let’s look at
some steps that are important to follow if you have established yourself in
a career and want to make a change, whether to promote or to transition
into a new career.
 Career Planning Checklist
for Change

Change is an inevitable part of life. While you may think you found
the perfect career right out of school, you may later find you want
to explore new opportunities for growth and expansion. The good
news is change, at least when it comes to careers, is not hard to come by.

This checklist will help you prepare for changing your career, whether you
want to expand your responsibilities or change careers and move into a
new field. The checklist is a bit similar to the one above, because the
career planning process is very similar (no matter the phase of your
career).

9 First, establish your goals. Creating goals is something that

should remain a constant in your life, whether you use them to plan
your career, start a project or start a new life. Goal setting helps us
see more clearly where we need to go and what we need to do to
make that happen. So before you transition to a new career or
acquire more job responsibilities, write down at least three goals
you have and reasons for them.

9 Evaluate your reasons for wanting to change careers or

promote. Ask yourself honestly if you want to change because you
don’t like your job, because you don’t like your employer, or
because you have an interest in gaining new skills and abilities and
expanding your horizons. The last reason is the best reason to
make a change.

9 Gain any additional training or education you need to realize

a smooth transition into a new job or work opportunity. If
you don’t know what the educational requirements are for a new
opportunity, and then find out. Visit the BLS http://www.bls.gov to
find out what the job requirements, educational requirements and
salary are for the job or career field you intend to enter.
 9 If changing careers, know that you may have to start from
the ground up. This may mean a salary cut. If you know you will
have to take a reduction in salary, then make up for it by finding a
way to budget your expenses until your salary catches up with you.
You should also evaluate whether you can afford changes to your
salary. Hopefully, a career transition will eventually (or immediately
in many cases) result in an increase, rather than decrease in salary.

9 If you plan to leave your current employer, always be sure

to give them advance notice so they have time to find a
replacement. This is especially true of highly technical jobs, where
it can be hard to find someone on short notice and train them well
enough to do the job right.

9 If you know you want to change careers but aren’t yet sure
what you want to do, consider going into business for
yourself. Evaluate your skills, abilities and talents. Look at your
financial situation and assess your management and organizational
skills. Many people have hopes of one day creating their own
business. Now may be the time to do this. Just be sure you prepare
for a big change like this by researching the home business process
before you leap right in and quit your job.

Many people who decide to start their own business end up keeping their
jobs and working on their business part time during their off hours. This is
a good way to give you time to wet your feet and get a feel for whether a
home business is something you really want to start, and whether you can
really make enough money from it to support your family.

No matter what decisions you make, when career planning for change it is
important you always take your time to evaluate and analyze your
decisions. Never make decisions in the heat of the moment, and always
be sure to research your alternatives and new occupations before you leap
right in. If you do this, you will realize much success on your career
planning journey!
Your True Talent Will Set You Free

When you get home from work, do you feel enriched, fulfilled and
empowered?

Or does it seem like you just finished an

uphill battle on a treadmill? Imagine
being paid to do what you love.

You could return home feeling as though

time stood still.

Being "in the zone" virtually all day.

Coming home invigorated knowing you

consistently live a natural high.

If this doesn't describe your day, then try the

simple method below to reveal your true
talent.

Once you identify your unique expression, you will be motivated to

experience it virtually everyday.

You will have a deep burning desire to feed your soul and share it with the
world.

When you comprehend your purpose, engage it regularly.

Perhaps Albert Einstein said it best, "Try not to become a man of success,
but rather try to become a man of value."

Your true, unique talent originates deep within your soul. Your heart is
your direct connection to your soul. Therefore, speaking and listening to
your heart will surface your true talent.

Some people even say it's the reason you were put on this Earth. To
experience your true nature with no boundaries and no embarrassment.

To express your soul like no one else can. And to enrich other people's
lives.

You can discover your unique talent in only 4 steps. Here, it's crucial you
follow Lord Thomas Dewar's advice, "Minds are like parachutes; they work
best when open."

Do the following every night for 21 consecutive nights:

* Place a new piece of blank paper on your night stand.

* Write "While I sleep tonight, I am connected with my heart and soul. I

allow myself to travel with the Ultimate Spirit. I bring back to my
consciousness my honest desire, life purpose and grand plan to integrate
with our current society to benefit others and myself. I now release the
power and intentions of these words. And this is so."

* Go to bed. Close your eyes. Mentally repeat the same phrase until you
fall asleep.

* During the next 21 days, remain consciously alert for any clues to your
answer.

Remember, following your intuition is manifesting that first thought that is

unencumbered with human influence.

In other words, if a desire "pops in your mind" to do something, do it

without alteration.

Internally ask your heart if it's your answer. If it feels right, may the wind
be at your back and propel you to a wonderful journey filled with joy,
laughter, love and excitement.

In conclusion, when you discover, express and make a living with your
true talent, you will live in bliss. You will soar like an eagle with your
unique imprint.

Life will be as it was meant to be. In short, as Dr. King emotionally said,
you will be "Free at last. Free at last. Free at last!"

11 things you did not learn at school

Charles Sykes, the author of DUMBING DOWN OUR KIDS, provided

for high school and college graduates a list of eleven things they
did not learn in school.

In his book, he talks about how the feel good, politically correct teachings
created a generation of kids with no concept of reality, and set them up
for failure in the real world.

Rule 1.

Life is not fair; get used to it.

Rule 2.

The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to
accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

Rule 3.

You will NOT make 40 thousand dollars a year right out of high school.
You won't be a vice president with a car phone, until you earn both.
Rule 4.

If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss. He doesn't
have tenure.

Rule 5.

Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a

different word for burger flipping; they called it opportunity.

Rule 6.

If you mess up, it's not your parents fault, so don't whine about your
mistakes, learn from them.

Rule 7.

Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now.
They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes, and
listening to you talk about how cool you are. So, before you save the rain
forest from the parasites of your parents generation, try delousing the
closet in your own room.

Rule 8.

Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life has not.
In some schools they have abolished failing grades; they'll give you as
many times as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the
slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

Rule 9.

Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off, and Very
few employers are interested in helping you find yourself. Do that on your
own time.

Rule 10.

Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to Leave the
coffee shop and go to jobs.

Rule 11.

Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

RESULTS
NOW ADD THE TOTAL NUMBER OF POINTS:

Over 60 points: Others see you as somebody they should "handle with care"
You're seen as vain, self-centered, and who is extremely dominant. Others may
admire you, wishing they could be more like you, but don't always trust you,
hesitating to become too deeply involved with you.

51 to 60 points: Others see you as an exciting, highly volatile, rather

impulsive personality; a natural leader, who's quick to make decisions, though
not always the right ones. They see you bold and adventuresome, someone who
will try anything once; someone who takes chances and enjoys adventure. They
enjoy being in your company because of the excitement you radiate.

41 to 50 points: Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, and

always interesting; someone who's constantly in the center of attention, but
sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go to their head. They also see you as kind,
considerate, and understanding; someone who'll always cheer them up and help
them out.
31 to 40 points: Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful and practical.
They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes
friends too quickly or easily, but someone who's extremely loyal to friends you do
make and who expect the same loyalty in return. Those who really get to know
you realize it takes a lot to shake your trust in your friends, but equally that it
takes you a long time to get over it if that trust is ever broken.

21 to 30 points: Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy. They see you
as very cautious, extremely careful... A slow and steady plodder. It'd really
surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on the spur of the
moment, expecting you to examine everything carefully from every angle and
then, usually decide against it. They think this reaction is caused partly by your
careful nature.

Under 21 points: People think you are shy, nervous, and indecisive someone
who needs looking after, who always wants someone else to make the decisions
and who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or anything. They see you as a
worrier who always sees problems that don't exist. Some people think you're
boring. Only those who know you well know that you aren't.

Body Language and Interviews

People in the corporate world will

unsurprisingly be inclined to accept
innate forms of manners or conduct that
are defensive instead of being frank,
direct, and mutual.

No wonder why sentiments are considered

tough influences in the office and why the
employer would normally act in response to
condemnation or disapprovals.

Most of these behaviors are readily recognized

by other people.

These include established ability to communicate completely and

confidently, the ability to learn from errors and fiascos, and the fast and
kind acknowledgment of the other colleagues.
However, not all forms of communication can easily be recognized and
comprehended.

Other forms of communication need certain levels of acceptance and

assessment, as well as detailed comprehension, in order to learn the real
message behind them.

These neglected forms of communication can affect people’s social

manner and career/future.

Why? Simply because some people use non-verbal forms of

communication or the so-called body language to detect and assess the
behavior of another individual. They use body language as the core,
underlying factor in determining people’s personality and total well-being.

Body Language and Your Future Career

Body language is a non-verbal form of communication. This involves

communicating feelings/ideas through gestures or body movements rather
than using words or other types of communication.

With the depth and individuality of every form of body language,

corporate people have learned to consider these other forms of
communication as one way of assessing people, especially when applying
for a job.

In this way, they can silently evaluate the applicants and decipher
whatever they are trying to say through their actions/gestures.

Since body language can be either voluntary or involuntary, their

meanings may vary. However, in the social context, psychologists and
sociologists have learned to decipher the meaning of each body language,
thereby enabling some people to understand the message being sent by
the other person.

For this reason, experts say that people should be aware of their gestures
or hand/eye movements, as these will put a great impact on their
personality whenever they face other people especially during an
interview.

They should remember that in the interviews, employers are very

meticulous on the way applicants react to the situation, on the way they
answer the challenging questions, and on how they project themselves. In
this way, employers can assess if such applicants can handle the job
better than the others.

Reading Facial Expression

Facial expressions can suggest or express an individual’s emotions or

feelings.

In essence, facial expressions are controlled forms of body language.

However, since it involves feelings or sentiments, most often than not,
they are spontaneous and instinctive.

Then again, during the interview, it is best to control most of the facial
expressions and express a pleasant one instead. Interviewers or
employers would like to see individuals who are eager to get the job and
who can have a pleasant personality up front.

It can only convey the applicants’ confidence with themselves. Insecure or

unconfident persons would most likely be fidgety; and even if they will not
say so, their actions speak louder.

Eye Contact

Eye contacts can also be a strong form of conveying emotions or feelings

towards another person. In fact, experts say that eye contact can have a
great impact on social manners. It can directly express one’s confidence
and personality.

During the interview, it is best to maintain a nice level of eye contact with
the interviewer. This will bring out the confidence in a person.

It can also build trust. Through eye contacts, interviewers can easily
evaluate if the applicants are sure of themselves or if they are telling the
truth.
Once the trust is built, it would be easy for the applicants to manipulate
the conversation and eventually get the job.

Avoiding the other person’s eye contact will send signals that may end
one’s future career. It could mean that the other person is guilty of
something or is trying to avoid the truth.

Reading Gestures

Gestures can also have a large influence on the interview. Body language
and gestures can create a great effect on the observer.

In most interviews, employers watch how the applicants react to certain

situation through their facial expressions or “body and facial gestures.”

For instance, if an applicant did not like the idea stated by the interviewer,
the simple rolling of the eyes could indicate a negative effect. This simple
gesture could mean frustration, annoyance, or arrogance.

All of these things are important during the interview. It is best to be

aware of them to avoid negative results.

The very basis of body language as used in an interview is to convey

confidence. Even though the applicants may not be 100% sure of
themselves, it is imperative that they should appear as if they are.

The way applicants positively express themselves through body language

can build their entire future. As they say, actions speak louder than
words.

How to Tell if Someone’s Lying just from Looking at

their Hands

It’s a fact: other people’s lies make our lives more difficult. They distort
and twist the truth, con us into believing things never happened, or took
place when they shouldn’t have.

There are literally thousands and thousands of ways people’s untruths and
falsehoods taint and make living our daily lives more of an effort than it
really should be.
So what can we do about it?

How can we put a stop to lies the second we hear them and reveal the
real truth, the actual facts, the exact situation?

The answer is natural lie detection – techniques, strategies and knowledge

that give a person the rare and invaluable ability to separate the real from
the fake and always know what to believe and what to question.

So, what does it consist of? Well, natural lie detection uses no machines,
test papers, no video or audio recordings. It is, as the name suggests, a
science based on human perception and skill.

It has 3 main components. They are the

interpretation and analysis of: body
language, psychology, and verbal
communication.

By having a deep and expert knowledge

of all three, you can become capable of
spotting 99 out of 100 lies, whether
they’re spoken over the phone, in
person or even over the internet or via
text message.

Although learning these special

techniques isn’t difficult when you have the time and proper reading
material, it does require more space to explain than this short article
allows.

However, that doesn’t mean we can’t go over one way many liars give
themselves away. This collection of principles falls under the body
language category of natural lie detection and focuses solely on how a
dishonest person uses, or avoids using, their hands when they’re being
deceitful. There are 3 main hand-related signals of deceptiveness.

Signal #1: HAND GESTURE FREQUENCY. People use their hands to

visually illustrate and emphasize their statements – it’s a way of painting
an abstract picture in the air to better help the person or people they’re
talking to understand the concepts being covered.
When someone lies, however, their mind works differently to how it
normally operates. Their thought process is dominated by the act of being
dishonest convincingly and they therefore tend to change how they use
their hands.

The first change you should look for is in how often they gesticulate with
their hands while talking. The majority of people, when they lie, lessen the
amount of movements they make with their hands because they
subconsciously want to restrict the volume of information being given to
the person they’re lying to – out of fear of saying too much, either
verbally or physically, and getting caught out or questioned.

More proficient liars, or people who have rehearsed or planned a lie before
telling it, actually tend to increase the frequency of their hand gestures.
They’ll slice the air more with the blade of their hand or point their finger
and clench their fists more frequently to illustrate and back-up what
they’re saying.

So, in short, look for a marked difference between the amount of hand
gesticulations a person uses when in normal, day-to-day, obviously
truthful conversation and when you suspect they may be lying to you or
have a good reason to twist or otherwise alter the truth.

Signal #2: HAND-TO-FACE ACTIONS. The second signal you should

look out for is an increase in the number of hand-to-face actions a person
makes when you think they could be lying. The main reason they touch
their faces more often when lying than when telling the truth is because of
the internal social pressure they’re feeling, which leaks out in the form of
hand-to-face actions.

Look for moments when the person momentarily covers their mouth with
their hand or fingers. This is a subconscious attempt to stifle themselves
and physically block the lie from leaving their lips – they do this to futilely
try to block their falsehood from reaching you and thereby decrease the
chance of getting caught and lessen their feeling of guilt. However, many
people are on some level aware of how mouth covers may be interpreted
(as a sign that they’re lying) so instead try to camouflage the action by
instead lightly touching their nose (which indirectly covers their mouth
with their hand).
Another reason many liars touch their noses is because of the increased
blood-flow that occurs in its deep tissues, which creates an almost
imperceptible tingle that, although not consciously felt and reacted to,
causes the liar to unwittingly touch their nose for a moment. So, always
keep an eye out for increased hand-to-face actions, especially those that
cover a person’s mouth in some way or another.

Signal #3: THE HAND SHRUG. When people don’t know the answer to
something or want to convey the
messages: “I’m not sure,” or “I don’t
care,” they often lift and quickly drop
their shoulders in a shrugging motion.
A variation of shoulder shrugging is
the hand shrug: a quick lifting and
dropping of one or both upturned hands.

Like shrugging with the shoulders, it’s a way of expressing a type of

diminished responsibility in regards to an issue or topic – and that’s why
liars tend to overuse the hand shrug while being dishonest. Instead of
using it only to accompany words that express a feeling of uncertainty or
ambivalence – the way people do when being honest – liars use the hand
shrug alongside verbal statements that don’t relate to “not knowing” or
“not caring.” They do this subconsciously to distance themselves from the
lie they’re telling.

Look for these 3 signs of potential dishonesty whenever you suspect

someone might be lying and you’ll be a step closer to becoming a true
master of deceit detection – a human lie detector.

STOP Hearing "NO" And Start Hearing "YES!"

There are ten common mistakes that

almost all people make during a job
interview. They're simple, but almost
everyone makes them, even though their
easy to avoid. Why? Because people
don't know what they're doing wrong!

Instead of looking at your resume and your

qualifications for the job, they're paying
attention to the mistakes you're making and
already putting your resume in the "No"
folder before you even get the chance to
prove yourself!

There is a way you can learn what NOT

to do during an interview to land you the perfect job!

What if you didn't have to worry about the competition when it

came to scoring a job you really want - and deserve?

What if you could walk into an interview and be confident that you
were going to ace the interview and practically get hired on the
spot? Watch as your competitors continue to make the same
mistakes you were, until now!

Employers will look right past them and their eyes will be on you as
you avoid every single mistake they were expecting and completely
"wow" them with your qualifications and credentials.

By avoiding every single interview mistake, you will give your

employers every reason to hire you and not one reason to pass you
by! You'll be irresistible to employers!

Imagine being able to get the first job you apply to! Now you
can save yourself tons of time and money in resume printing, phone
charges and wasted interviews!

It's more important now than ever before to be able to ace a job
