Week three rituals, routines and real Londoners dont wear flip flops...

Week three rituals, routines and real Londoners don’t wear flip flops... by Michael Cheary Week three: rituals, routines and real Londoners don’t wear flip flops.This week our interns learned a lot about life at reed.co.uk. Unfortunately, they also learned that street-performers aren’t necessarily the most trustworthy people in the world…*AndrewAfter being in the UK for three weeks, I have come to the following conclusions:1. Always bring an umbrella with you.2. Never wait at the crossing until it turns green.3. Actually move down the carriage when you get on the tube.4. Waitrose is so much more expensive than Sainsbury’s.5. Don’t be the  guy who gets to the turnstile only to find out his Oystercard is empty.6. Real Londoners don’t wear flip flops.7. I am, by far, not a real Londoner.As much as I would like to sit here and pretend that I’ve acclimatised to life across the pond, the truth is I still feel like a Californian fish out of water.This morning I finally experienced what real summer in London is like.  Cold (by my sheltered California standards), and damp, with surprise downpours every few hours.As a foreigner who was embracing the unseasonably warm weeks that made him hopelessly infatuated with the city, I will be the first to admit that so far I have had an absolutely skewed and somewhat idealistic experience of London. I get to live near King’s Cross for the summer, where I can walk on over to work in the reed.co.uk office in central London.I get to wake up every day and have a job that most people my age don’t really get to do, and be a part of an office where I can to tackle exciting projects that affect all areas of the business, from coming up with new customer entry points to tracing people’s contact points across the company.  After work I can go on a run through Regent’s Park before making sure I punch myself in the arm as a reminder to not take this all for granted.I still have a lot to learn about the city, and more importantly a lot more to do while at reed.co.uk, but I can at lea st say with certainty that that I am one fortunate, very American, non-Londoner fool to have this opportunity.StephanieShockingly, time has flown by! Week three has arrived and deadlines are drawing nearer.We’ve been briefed on more projects and to think that our ideas actually contribute to the improvement of the company is pretty amazing. Aside from working on projects together with the other interns, lunch has been another project in itself for us. As we try to explore every food spot around Holborn, we definitely find ourselves in interesting situations. Everything from awkward street performers gone wrong, to accidently buying expired crisps has left us with laughter and energy to tackle the second half of the day.Thankfully, reed.co.uk encourages retrospective meetings which allow us to reflect on our week and what we can do to improve. Aside from the amazing orange chocolate we get treated to during our meeting (which we’re now hooked on thanks David!) they really have h elped us come together more on our projects and bounce ideas from one another, which has evidently made our approach to projects and work more effective. Our regular break out meetings and occasional chess games certainly also help to increase our engagement levels.The weekly photo-shoots we organise for our blogs has been something we look forward to too. It’s enlightening to see everyone’s inner model and photographer definitely come though. Look up and check out the new banner! Can you guess what this week’s is in homage to?AllyThe daily routine is a sacred and age-old practice. It has, despite the march of time, remained quite the same across generations. If you can find any difference between the morning hike to the hunting grounds our ancestors took just after the last ice age, and me swiping my Oyster on the bus to work, you have secret findings the Royal Archaeological Institute needs to hear.I’d argue it takes three weeks. Three weeks till it suddenly hits you that you have one. You’re sitting at your desk when your mind throws its fishing hook to the kitchen area, hoping to lure a cup of tea. You begin your journey to the kettle and think to yourself, ‘boy, this is familiar’. And you realise it’s familiar because it’s 10 o’clock, and 10 o’clock has always been time for a tea break ever since you can remember. Thus the daily routine is conceived.Not that routine is bad. A habit can be a comforting anchor in an otherwise storm-tossed life. I smile to think that this morning, as I do every morning, and as I will do every morning till the Apocalypse (or, the end of my contract with reed.co.uk), I pressed the snooze button of my alarm from 6:45 till 7:15 to the point that I had fifteen minutes to prepare for work. While the routine does change subtly through time, I find it humorous that naiveté never constitutes one of those variations.But it gets me where I need to go. If my work at reed.co.uk is a bowlful of jelly it’s the rout ine that acts as dessert spoon (awkward images stop now, promise). Like the ribbon on a Christmas gift, I tie up this week’s blog and send it to the editor, yet another component in my weekly ritual.(That last one was technically a simile.)ConnorThis week I learned (the hard way) that Americans really have no idea what we’re doingOver the weekend, Yaseen and I rented one of those little paddle boats in Hyde Park. Everything had been going great, until we started to make our way home and stumbled upon 15 or so people surrounding a man setting up a street game.It was the classic 3-cups and a ball setup where you had to guess which cup the ball was under; simple right? I watched ignorantly, and managed to guess the right cup about 6 times in a row. So, feeling confident I went for my wallet not realising the minimum bet was £40. It just happened to be the case that the only note I had in my wallet was a £50.I carefully watched his movements like I had the six times before until I was certain I knew where it was. I arrogantly threw down my money and after he stopped, I simply pointed my finger to the correct one. Apparently, I was not aware of the rule that you had to actually touch your choice of cup and lift it up, so he began reshuffling the cups and while in the process, showed me that I had guessed the right one but said it didn’t count.I expressed my complaint, but being an experienced street hustler, he just kept shuffling without saying anything. Infuriated and trying to prove him wrong twice, I proceeded to guess again at the cup I was certain the ball was under. This time I only found the pavement under the cupAfter reconsidering my life and having several strangers sympathize with me about the scam I just fell victim to, the man packed his things up and put his hand out to shake mine, saying “never put your money on a street game, especially when you have bad luck” Trying to maintain my composure without screaming every word that would be ed ited out of this blog, I simply declined his offer, saying “where I’m from, we only do that as a sign of respect”, and walked away.It was a memorable trust exercise. If only for the wrong reasons. Hopefully next week there will be no balls…YaseenMy dear ladies and gentleman of the audience, I am deeply apologetic to have to admit that until now I have yet to introduce myselfcompletely.  It has now been an entire three weeks since we first met each other.I sincerely appreciate your patience in this tumultuous relationship, and I hope you will find it in the graces of your hearts to overlook the marginalization through which I have forced you to endure.In its place I offer something that cannot be bought, marginally taught, and seldom sought: I offer Intern Wisdom.Throughout the past week at reed.co.uk I have successfully been able to present, research, and even teach my fellow interns on a subject on which I possessed no prior knowledge: modern employment trends in the UK.  I am quite proud to report that within the galactic spectrum, of internships and corporations, the illustrious learning curve does indeed exist.  I am shocked to see how much new information I am able to retain, and regurgitate at a moment’s notice.Being that I am still in Uni, it’s beautiful to finally expand our brain with real world knowledge and be able to finally apply our theoretical skills, which we have spent years cultivating, into forming the simplest speeches to analysing the most complex trenches of data.I am only 20 years old but this past week I have noticed a curious growth within myself that I cannot say I have seen before.  The laboratory results are not yet conclusive, but at its preliminary stages it would appear to seem as if this little intern has been diagnosed with Acute Maturity Syndrome.  Better known as AMS in most medical circles, I will be sure to keep you updated, and track its progress diligently in the coming weeks.  Oh yeah, and about that in troduction….Until next week ladies and gentlemen.*reed.co.uk would like to point out that this was solely included for humorous reasons, and was not intended to cause offence. Most street-performers are in fact very hard-working and trustworthy individuals.  The interns have finished week three. Stay tuned to see how they get on in the coming weeks.

5 Ways to Quit Underselling Yourself on Your Resume

5 Ways to Quit Underselling Yourself on Your Resume If you’re in the midst of a job search, you no doubt want your resume to land enough interviews to make your efforts worthwhile. If it seems like you are passed over for jobs on a regular basis, consider this: what you see as your real strengths might NOT be conveyed on the resume you send out. Here are some ways to reverse this situation and clearly market your qualifications so your resume gets noticed: Ask yourself what your 3 main qualifications areâ€"then write directly to them. What do you really want an employer to know about you? Take out a piece of paper and jot down your three strongest qualifications for the job. For example, this could be a recent degree, your leadership capabilities, or your ability to bring in new business. Now write your resume around these points, taking into consideration that the document should give a clear picture of your overall background as well. Not sure what strengths to highlight? Take out a job description from an online posting and circle some areas that match your expertise. Focus your thinking around these requirements and the skills that accompany them. Stop taking up space with mundane details. Think of your resume in terms of a certain amount of valuable space, then use that space to convey your strong points as much as possible. Avoid focusing on the details that others most likely know about your profession. For example, it is generally assumed that accountants are familiar with the general ledger, and that network administrators back up servers. I recommend that you conserve “resume real estate” by giving hiring managers some hard facts about the impact you have had on your work environment, customers, and to the bottom line. List the most important aspects of your credentials FIRST. I am always amazed by the volume of highly credentialed professionals who show an old degree at the top of their resumes. If your degree is surpassed by your experience, put it near the end of your resume. If you have managerial experience and you are applying to a leadership position, put this on your resume toward the beginning. By the same token, be sure to show qualities and skills relevant to the job as quickly as possible on your resume so that these will not be missed. Don’t use “rules” unless they apply to you. The biggest mistake I see here is that experienced professionals try to cram a lot of detail onto one page. Since no one is really sure of the origination of the one-page “rule,” it is best to just forget about it and concentrate on readability instead. Other rules to skip include the use of an objective statement (very outdated) or references (should be kept separate) on the resume. Quantify everything where possible. One of the biggest rules in the resume industry is “show, don’t tell.” A very effective way to demonstrate the full impact of your work is to pull as many figures into your resume as possible. To get yourself into the mode of including numbers, look at each sentence and try to think like a four-year-old. So you brought in new businessâ€"how much? If you reduced costsâ€"by what percentage? Ask yourself the kind of questions that employers might want to know in an interview, and you’ll soon find that your resume contains some exciting facts and quantifiable numbers that will catch the reader’s eye. Remember that it is up to YOU to make an outstanding first impression, and that you may need to take a hard look at how you are presenting yourself on paperâ€"especially if your resume is not producing the results you expect.

Non-verbal communication Reflects Company Culture An employing administrator will frequently be the primary purpose of contact a competitor makes with an organization.

It would look bad for a questioner to act pointlessly vivacious and to introduce sensational non-verbal communication in the event that they worked at an association that was formal and held. Thus, a hardened and unwelcoming stance would not be illustrative of an association that values transparency and equivalent chance. These might appear inconspicuous strategies to remember, however employing directors must perceive the significance of non-verbal communication and vitality as they are frequently the substance of their association. Non-verbal communication Keeps Candidates Engaged Similarly as a questioner should put forth an attempt to heartily invite up-and-comers and to precisely speak to organization culture, they ought to likewise endeavor to keep up-and-comers locked in. The vitality we radiate is infectious. All things considered, nobody would think that its charming to be met by a grim, unengaged questioner for an opening for work.

Eventually, there are various variables that add to the achievement of a meeting.
