The Job GYM

  How to choose a career that lines up with how you like to spend your time BY  Elizabeth Grace Saunders When you’re searching for a job that will make you happy, it’s common to think about the kind of work you like doing, the impact you want to make in the world, the size of your paycheck, and how impressive the company name will sound on your LinkedIn profile. But as a time management coach, I find that one of the key factors in your overall job happiness is how much time you’ll need to put into your career. If the hours you work don’t align with how you like to spend your time, you can end up feeling miserable, even if you love the work and you’re paid well for it. In fact, one of the top reasons people left their jobs during the recent Great Resignation was  burnout . To make sure that you land in a work environment that will make you happy from a time commitment point of view, you’ll need to look into not only the job responsibilities, but also the job lifestyle. Here are four fac

  CURIOSITY If you ask great questions, investigate the world around you, and are always expanding your horizons, then consider curiosity a skill of yours. You often find new situations and experiences exciting because they provide opportunities for you to discover more. To demonstrate this in a job interview setting, think about the ways in which  asking good questions  has supported you in your work. Be sure to think of a time when being curious allowed you to gather information to do something quicker or more efficiently, in the workplace or even outside of the workplace, and highlight that example to the interviewer. LEARNING AGILITY Do you enjoy learning new things about a wide range of topics? Can you pivot quickly from discovering information about one thing and applying it, to then quickly moving on to something new? If so, then consider learning agility as one of your skills. Ensure you convey to hiring managers times when you have learned something and applied it quickly, or

  WHAT ARE BEHAVIORAL INTERVIEW QUESTIONS? Behavioral interview questions  are designed to determine how you will handle specific situations in a work environment. They often ask you to use your experience as an example and focus more on soft skills rather than technical aspects of the job. This allows a potential employer to understand how your past work experience has prepared you for future tasks and challenges. Surely you’ve been asked to answer a question like, “Tell me about a time you had a conflict with someone on your team?” These questions can be  interview killers  if you’re not prepared. Instead of reflecting on your conflict resolution skills, you could end up waxing on about a former co-worker you disliked, and before you know it, the interviewer is put off.  WHY ARE THESE IMPORTANT NOW? According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of job openings in the United States is at a record high of  11.5 million . This bodes well for anyone looking to test the wat

How to be an exceptional employee? Exceptional employees don’t possess God-given personality traits; they rely on simple, everyday EQ skills that anyone can incorporate into their repertoire. Leaders don’t need to go searching for these skills either (though it doesn’t hurt when you find them); their duty is to help everyone on their team harness these skills to become exceptional. Just consider some of the EQ skills that leaders and managers commonly mislabel as personality characteristics. These are the skills that set exceptional employees apart. They’re willing to delay gratification.  One thing an exceptional employee never says is, “That’s not in my job description.” Exceptional employees work outside the boundaries of job descriptions. They’re neither intimidated nor entitled; instead of expecting recognition or compensation to come first, they forge ahead in their work, confident that they’ll be rewarded later but unconcerned if they’re not. They can tolerate conflict.  While e
