I Turned 60 and Im Not Afraid to Share That With My Professional Network

I Turned 60 and Im Not Afraid to Share That With My Professional NetworkI Turned 60 and Im Not Afraid to Share That With My Professional NetworkJanuary 4th was my 60th birthday. Its an achievement Im very proud of. Your fifties are the time when you start to notice the ages on the obituaries you read or hear on TV- and its uncomfortable to watch those numbers veer too close to yours. (Admittedly, its actually terrifying when a few of those ages are actually younger than yours) Theres only so far denial can take you. And at 59, I realized a handful of friends and colleagues didnt make it to 60. So, Im ecstatic to be here- in good health and with a family I love, and lots of caring friends around me.But there was one telling, frightening moment. As I prepared my Facebook post announcing Id made it to the starting line of my seventh decade, my fingers froze in the air. I tend to be thoughtful and careful about my career- I know that there are things that can damage years of work in less than a second, especially on social media. I had to ask myself Was I really ready to post my age for all 9,000 of my followers to see? When I wrote my editors letters for More magazine, I had a wonderful executive editor who would read and edit my work and try to save me from my blatant honesty. She would ask Do you really want to tell the truth about a management clash that could make your boss mad? Do you really want to expose the antics of a titelblatt star- or her handler- that might take More off their list of magazines for the future? I tend to walk right up to the edge of dangerous truth-telling and came to rely on the wonderful Judy to keep me from slipping over it- and potentially losing my job.So, Im ashamed to say that my finger hovered above the post button Wednesday for one reason I knew that if I posted my age, Id be killing my chances of ever getting a job in corporate America. Very few companies will take on someone five years from retirement who could run up their healthcare costs or become too hard to fire because theyre a protected class. Of course, no one will admit that youre too old to hire to your face- and corporate HR departments have been taught to twist themselves into pretzels to make sure no one hints that age is a problem. But anyone whos walked the corridors of corporations knows the truth that once you cross 50 you notice that the air near the top of your profession begins to thin out, and you might even be the only one in your age group left in your division. The staff working around you starts looking noticeably younger, and you start to worry that when times get tough and management is hankering for a speedy Q4 downsize that the salary you killed yourself to attain could be a big red bullseye. I also remember the hundreds of More readers who wrote to me after The Great Recession that said theyd been downsized from their prestigious corporate jobs. Theyd sent resumes to over 400 job openings, only to receive zero responses. I didnt have the heart to tell them what I knew even then that women over 50 were never going to be welcomed back to corporate life, that their only option for making money going forward was as an independent entrepreneur. Its no surprise to me that a 2015 Kauffman Institute Index notes the number of new entrepreneurs between ages 55 and 64 rose from 14.8% in 1997 to 25.8% in 2015.Though Ive never hidden my age, I look younger, and so people tend to forget it. So, when I ultimately decided to press the button on that Facebook post, I was accepting that my time as an up-and-comer had long ago expired- and that independence was going to be my only direction forward in the future. But push it I did. Of course, the overwhelming response from my friends and colleagues was of joy and good wishes. One friend whod already crossed over mentioned her delight at the end of striving. Many others- both male and female- spoke of the opportunity to finally be free to be themselves. All the research Ive read- or had done at More- pointed to the sixties being everyones happiest decade, and I was getting that message. I definitely have the sense that Im stepping onto an uncharted pathway thatll be challenging but fascinating. I also know this Part of my happiness will come from changing just one persons mind about what 60 looks and feels like- and perhaps convincing just one person in charge of hiring at some business somewhere that age really is just a number. Its time we said ta-ta to this last taboo.This article was originally published on LinkedIn. It has been republished here with permission.

4 Ways International Students Can Gain U.S. Work Experience with F-1 Visas

4 Ways International Students Can Gain U.S. Work Experience with F-1 Visas 4 Ways International Students Can Gain U.S. Work Experience with F-1 Visas If you’re an international student who wants to work in the U.S. after graduation, you need to maximize every opportunity you have to gain work experience before you graduate. The reason is, in the end, U.S. employers are most impressed by college students who were highly involved during their studies- and had jobs while in school. Note that U.S. work experience will not only make you more competitive as an H-1B visa job seeker come graduation but will also add a completely different dimension to your experience as an international student. Luckily, there are several ways for international students to get hired while completing their studies. Here, below, are four of the most common ways international students on F-1 visas can work in the U.S. 1. On-campus employment How does a part-time job at your university library or bookstore sound? How about a job as a Resident Assistant at your dorm in exchange for room and board? These and other opportunities like them are typically available for F-1 students after their first years of school. If you think that jobs unrelated to your ultimate employment goals are not worthwhile, keep in mind that work opportunities unrelated to your major do have value and do impress U.S. employers. Any work that demonstrates leadership, communication, or problem solving skills will impress employers. Even working just a few hours a week at your university shows U.S. hiring managers that you're a highly engaged student. In order to gain even more work experience, here’s something else to consider: As opposed to going home to visit your family and friends during your school breaks, stay in the U.S. to maximize your breaks by gaining more U.S. work experience. Visit your career center to learn about summer job opportunities and look for job opportunities that allow you to have as much interaction with Americans as possible. 2. Off-campus employment Keep in mind that you're not authorized to work off campus unless you have authorization from your university. Also keep in mind that your university might be able to authorize you to work off campus under the premise of economic hardships. For example, if there's a severe devaluation of your home country currency against the U.S. dollar, and all of a sudden you can’t pay for your tuition anymore, you might then qualify to work off campus under the economic hardship rule. Or, say that your father is the one paying for your studies, and all of a sudden he loses his job. Such an event could also qualify for economic hardship. You get the idea. Any unexpected change in your ability to continue to pay for your studies might qualify as economic hardship. If you think you find yourself in this situation, investigate your options. 3. Curricular Practical Training (CPT) If you can’t work off campus under the economic hardship rule, then Curricular Practical Training might be an option, if it’s available to you. This is one of the most attractive programs for international student who wish to work off-campus. CPT is designed to give students real-world experience in their field, like an internship or practicum with a partnering employer. Some college majors offer CPT, but many don’t. If you pick a degree that doesn’t offer CPT, that is okay. But keep in mind that your opportunities to gain off-campus work experience could be more limited. Get informed and ask the right questions. Recently, the value of CPT has increased dramatically because CPT is handled entirely by universities, without any government intervention. International students who take the CPT route for summer internships automatically eliminate the uncertainties they could possibly face to due to processing delays associated with Optional Practical Training, for example (more on OPT below). If your chosen college major does not offer CPT, consider approaching the right individuals from your school to see if it would be possible to add CPT to your program of study. And note that if CPT is available to you, it is normally best to keep your CPT work to less than 20 hours a week if you plan on competing for an H-1B visa after graduation If you participate in full time CPT for 12 months or more, you will not be eligible for Optional Practical Training (OPT). Without the option to leverage OPT after graduation, your odds of securing permanent employment in the U.S. will be greatly diminished. Accrual of part-time CPT does not affect eligibility for OPT, which has great value to U.S. employers because it’s a hassle free way for them to initially hire international students. 4. Optional Practical Training (OPT) Optional Practical Training is a well-known program among international students that refers to temporary employment relating to your field of study. For example, working at a bank would qualify if you're studying finance. Currently, certain STEM majors get to enjoy up to 36 months of OPT, while non-STEM majors normally only receive 12 months of OPT. Unlike CPT, which is handled entirely by your university, OPT requires the involvement of the U.S. government, and this has proven to be a disadvantage for the OPT program these days. There are two types of OPT: Option 1: Pre-completion OPT This option is normally available once you have completed one full academic year at a U.S. college or university. You can work up to 20 hours a week when school is in session or full time when it’s not. Some international students who secure summer internships rely on pre-completion OPT in order to be able to work in the U.S. Processing times for OPT applications are not supposed to exceed 90 days, but this year some applicants faced wait times up to five months. The result? Many international students across the U.S. have missed their scheduled start date for their summer internships. Event worse: in some instances, international students could not start their summer internships at all. Option 2: Post-completion OPT Those who are authorized for post-completion OPT can work either part time or full time after graduation, and normally the work can be paid or unpaid. You need to make sure you find employment related to your field of study. If you’re studying accounting, a job at an advertising firm designing logos will not qualify as OPT employment. A final note Even if you're not ready to start looking for jobs and/or haven’t picked a major, it’s important to meet with the right people from your school as soon as possible so you can learn about all the work programs that might be available to you as an F-1 student. Understand the regulations you need to follow in order to secure employment in the U.S., and don’t be shy about applying for jobs. Remember to never accept any type of employment in the U.S., even volunteer or unpaid, without first checking with your university. If you see a job listed at your university that excites you or if you learn about a cool off-campus internship related to your major, before you apply for these positions you must first find out if you’re eligible to work. Get started by scheduling two appointments. The first one will be with your designated school official (DSO). Most likely, this individual works at your International Student Services office. Your second appointment should be with a career services staff member. Be sure to communicate to both of these individuals that you have every intention to maximize any program that will allow you to work on-campus and off-campus while you're completing your degree. And if you’re currently completing and crushing your summer internship, look for ways to become indispensable  so your employer asks you to continue working for them in the fall. And if your employer does not bring up this possibility, be brave and do so yourself. Create a proposal that outlines your deliverables for the fall and get the conversation going with your manager. Remember: if your plan is an H-1B job in the U.S. after graduation, the more work experience you can accumulate during your studies the better. Marcelo Barros is the founder of  The International Advantage, a firm specializing in providing job search training for international students who seek U.S. jobs. He is also the author of  The International Advantage: Get Noticed. Get Hired!, a job search guide for international students. Marcelo Barros partners with over 50 U.S. universities to provide extra help to assist their international students with their quest to find U.S. employment via an H-1B visa. The next stop for The International Advantage is Cornell University Johnson School of Business, on August 2, 2019.

15 proven ways to get people to take you seriously

15 proven ways to get people to take you seriously 15 proven ways to get people to take you seriously Just because you’re smart, thoughtful, and competent doesn’t necessarily mean people perceive you that way. If you want coworkers and friends to take you seriously, you’ve got to think seriously about the image you’re projecting - from your outfit to your speech to your body language.To that end, we put together a list of 15 science- and expert-backed strategies to help you establish credibility, fast.Get to work earlyThe early bird gets the … credibility?Research from the Michael G. Foster School of Business at the University of Washington suggests that employees who get into the office early are generally perceived by their managers as more conscientious and receive higher performance ratings than employees who arrive later.And it doesn’t matter if those who get in later stay later, too.Ladders is now on SmartNews!Download the SmartNews app and add the Ladders channel to read the latest career news and advice wherever you go.If you feel that you’d be more productive working from, say, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. instead of 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., consider explaining the situation to your manager and confronting their potential “morning bias” head-on.Say ‘no’ sometimesSuccessful people have mastered the art of declining requests. In fact, when psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi wrote to a series of creative professors to interview them for a book he was writing, one-third responded “no,” typically citing a lack of time.You can even say “no” to your boss on occasion - as long as you frame it the right way.For example, if your boss assigns you a project but you’re already overloaded with other projects, national workplace expert Lynn Taylor recommends saying something like: “I would be happy to do that project, but what that could mean is that [whatever other project you’re working on] will have to be put off until tomorrow, because I was actually going to spend the next three hours finishing that proposal. Would you like me to put that off?”The idea here is not to blindly agree to every request that comes your way - even if it seems impossible to decline.Write simplyResist the temptation to flaunt your fancy vocabulary.A 2012 Princeton study - with the fitting title “Consequences of erudite vernacular utilized irrespective of necessity: problems with using long words needlessly” - found that clumsily using big words often causes people to think you’re less intelligent.In one of a series of experiments, researchers selected a sociology dissertation abstract with lots of long words and created a “simplified” version by replacing every word of nine or more letters with its second shortest entry in the Microsoft Word 2000 thesaurus. Then they asked 35 Stanford undergrads to read the dissertation and rate both the author’s intelligence and how difficult the writing was to understand.Results showed that the simplified version was perceived as less complex - and its author was judged as more intelligent .Wear glassesResearch suggests that if you’re wearing glasses, you’ll appear less attractive but more intelligent.In one small study, researchers at the University of Vienna had 76 participants look at 78 images of faces - some without glasses, some with full-rim glasses, and some with rimless glasses - and rate them on a number of traits, including intelligence and attractiveness.According to the researchers’ findings, people wearing glasses - rimless or with rims - were rated as more intelligent than people without glasses. Yet those without glasses were seen as more attractive than those with full-rim spectacles.Show that you’re both warm and competentPrinceton University psychologists and their colleagues proposed the stereotype content model, which is a theory that people judge others based on their warmth and competence.According to the model, if you can portray yourself as warm - i.e., noncompetitive and friendly - people will feel like they can trust you. If yo u seem competent - for example, if you have high economic or educational status - they’re more inclined to respect you.Harvard psychologist Amy Cuddy says it’s important to demonstrate warmth first and then competence, especially in business settings.“From an evolutionary perspective,” Cuddy writes in her book “Presence,” “it is more crucial to our survival to know whether a person deserves our trust.”Stop fidgetingFidgeting, and repetitive behaviors like rubbing your hands, can be a way of self-soothing.But they suggest nervousness and a lack of power, body-language expert and “The Power of Body Language” author Tonya Reiman previously told Business Insider.Former FBI agent Joe Navarro recommends simply slowing these behaviors down: You’ll get the same pacifying benefit, but your anxiety won’t be so visible.Speed up your speechYou don’t need to speak so fast that people have no idea what you’re saying. But avoid drawing out every sentence, word, and sy llable.In one 1975 study published in the journal Language and Speech, Brigham Young University researchers had 28 university students listen to recordings of six people whose voices had been manipulated to sound slower or faster than normal.The student volunteers rated the speakers most competent when their voices had been sped up and least competent when their voices had been slowed down.More recent research suggests that speaking quickly is also a sneaky way to win an argument - at least in the US. One 1991 study published in the journal Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin suggests that’s because people will have less time to think critically about your position.Let people talk about themselvesDale Carnegie said it back in 1936, in his bestseller “How to Win Friends and Influence People“: One secret to making people like you is simply to listen and encourage them to talk about themselves.Research backs him up.Harvard researchers discovered that talking about yoursel f may be inherently rewarding, the same way that food, money, and sex are. According to the study, people even derive pleasure from talking about themselves when no one is listening.Dress the part“Appearance is our first filter,” Sylvia Ann Hewlett, author of the book “Executive Presence,” previously told Business Insider. “And it’s happening all the time.”Princeton researchers have found that it takes about 100 milliseconds to register a first impression, or as long as a hummingbird flaps its wings.“The really good news here is that it’s about polish, grooming, and being put together,” Hewlett said. “It’s not about the precise shape of your body, texture of your hair, or the designer you wear.”Some research suggests that dressing more formally can make you both feel and appear more powerful. In one 2014 study, published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology, men dressed in either a suit or sweats engaged in mock negotiations with a partner. Results sho wed that the men were more successful in the negotiations when they were wearing a suit.You don’t have to wear a gray suit all the time, she said. Instead, pay attention to how the best-dressed people in your organization and industry put themselves together, then pattern after them. Or, take a look at this outline of how to dress in any work environment.Master the handshakeA strong handshake isn’t a matter of squeezing somebody’s paw.It’s a matter of presence.Esquire’s Tom Chiarella details how to exude it:“On the street, in the lobby, square your shoulders to people you meet. Make a handshake matter - eye contact, good grip, elbow erring toward a right angle. Do not pump the hand, unless the other person is insistent on just that. Then pump the hell out of their hand. Smile. If you can’t smile, you can’t be gracious. You aren’t some dopey English butler. You are you.”Know what’s going on in the worldThe best-selling game developer Valve likes to hire “T-sh aped” employees, meaning they have deep expertise in one area coupled with interest across a range of subjects.That pattern can be expanded to anybody’s career.If you work in business, then “be up to speed on changes in your industry so you can speak about them intelligently,” says Roberta Matuson. The “Suddenly in Charge” author recommends reading business news daily “so you can speak intelligently on business matters.”But you need a broad base of knowledge, too - so keep up with science, tech, and popular culture.Consider starting with this list of recently published and forthcoming business books.Be ridiculously preparedDon’t wing it - at least not at work.Executives like Marissa Mayer and Elon Musk are known for pulling apart any idea that gets pitched their way. Count on the pitches you make to be scrutinized, and have your arguments prepared ahead of time.It’s a matter of “embodying your intellectual horsepower,” Hewlett said.Tell people storiesNumber s impress - but they’re not enough to connect with people.Take it from TED Talks: The most successful presentations are about 65% stories and 25% figures, with the remainder an explanation of your credibility.Sheryl Sandberg realized this just before giving her groundbreaking TED Talk in 2010.“I was planning to give a speech chock full of facts and figures, and nothing personal,” she said in an interview.But before she went on stage, a friend stopped her, saying that she looked out of sorts. Sandberg said that as she was leaving home that day, her daughter was tugging at her leg, asking her not to go.Why not tell that story, her friend asked her. Sandberg listened - and launched a movement.Watch your toneIf you say a statement with the intonation of a question, that’s called “upspeak.”If you’re ending your sentences with a higher tone than you began with, then you’ll sound unsure of what you’re saying - even if you’re really not.And while women tend to be crit icized more for using upspeak (and for that creaky sound called “vocal fry”), experts say men use it just as often.Opinions differ as to whether upspeak and vocal fry are problematic, but speech pathologist Susan Sankin thinks these speech phenomena can damage your professional image, regardless of your gender.Stay confident - and humbleVenture capitalist and “Heart, Smarts, Guts, and Luck: What It Takes to Be an Entrepreneur and Build a Great Business” coauthor Anthony K. Tjan writes in the Harvard Business Review that garnering respect requires marrying humility to confidence.“You need enough self-confidence to command the respect of others, but that needs to be counter-balanced with knowing that there is much you simply don’t know,” he writes. “Humility is the path towards earning respect, while self-confidence is the path towards commanding it.”Bonus: The more you know what you don’t know, the more eager you’ll be to learn.This article first appeared on Bu siness Insider and an update of an article originally published by Drake Baer.

16 .NET Interview Questions to Ask

16 .NET Interview Questions to Ask 16 .NET Interview Questions to Ask You need to recruit a .NET developer for your IT department - and fast. If you’re lucky enough to receive applications for this hard-to-fill position, you’ll want to go into the interviews ready to make quick decisions. But if you don’t have a strong background in this framework, how can you be certain your interview questions will help you identify the best candidate?   To help, we’ve prepared a cheat sheet of 16 essential .NET developer interview questions with background and sample answers, as well as a few other tips to assist in making your search more successful. And when you’re ready to make an offer, visit our salary center to learn the average starting pay for a .NET programmer in your area. You don’t want to lowball in this competitive hiring market.   Now, let’s get started.   First, a word about these top .NET interview questions…   If you’re interviewing a .NET developer, you should be somewhat familiar with programming. If you’re not, then bring in someone from your team who is. These conversations will get very technical, very quickly.   Also, keep in mind the following QAs are intended to serve as a guide, not a bible. As a hiring manager, you may need to tailor these questions for the responsibilities of your specific job opening. You should also allow some leeway on candidates’ answers to reflect their individual backgrounds and experience with ASP, code and various frameworks. 1. What is OOP, and how does it relate to the .NET Framework? OOP stands for object-oriented programming. A good answer to this question would point out that OOP languages such as Visual Basic.NET, C# and C++ are the core languages supported by .NET Framework. (There is also support for functional programming in the form of F#.)   As a technique, OOP allows .NET developers to create classes containing methods, properties, fields, events and other logical modules. It also lets developers create modular programs, which they can assemble as applications. OOPs have four basic features: encapsulation, abstraction, polymorphism and inheritance. 2. What is encapsulation? Encapsulation is one of four basic features of OOP and refers to the inclusion within a program object of methods and data needed for the object to function. For .NET interview questions like this, candidates should mention that encapsulation helps keep data from unwanted access through binding code and data in an object, which is the basic, single self-contained unit of a system. Another way of understanding encapsulation is to think of it as “hiding” the state of an object as private or protected. Under this principle of information hiding, the internal workings of an object are segregated from the rest of the application. This is useful because it makes it less likely that other objects can modify the state or behavior of the object in question. 3. Explain the concept of inheritance and how it works in .NET. In general OOP terms, inheritance means that a class can be based on another class, with the child class taking on the attributes of the parent class. For example, coders can create a class called Vehicle, and then child classes called Truck, Car and Motorcycle - all of which inherit the attributes of Vehicle. To demonstrate their understanding of the interview question and the framework, candidates may bring up how .NET supports single inheritance only, which means that a class can inherit only from one other class. Their answer may also touch on the transitive nature of inheritance - for example, the Ford class inherits from Car, which inherits from Vehicle. 4. What is the difference between an abstract class and an interface? An abstract class is always used as a base class. It provides some abstract/virtual members that the inheriting entities must implement, as well as a partial implementation for a functionality. For extra credit, job candidates might mention that this class can also declare fields. Developers cannot create an object from this class. An interface, on the other hand, can declare properties, methods and events only (no access modifiers). The developer must implement all declared members. In short, an interface designates a contract/behavior that implementing classes should have. HIRE A .NET DEVELOPER NOW 5. What is the difference between a class and an object, and how do these terms relate to each other? A class is a comprehensive data type that is the primary building block, or template, of OOP. Class defines attributes and methods of objects, and contains an object’s behavior and data. An object, however, represents an instance of class. As a basic unit of a system, objects have identity and behavior as well as attributes. Make sure candidates respond to the second part of this .NET interview question, addressing how these terms are related to each other. Answer: The relationship is based on the fact that a class defines the states and properties that are common to a range of objects. 6. What is a delegate in .NET? A delegate is a type that encapsulates a reference to a method. Delegate objects can then be passed to code which calls the method according to the method signature, meaning the developer doesn't have to know at compile time which method is being invoked. A delegate can contain references to a single method or multiple methods. Delegates are similar to function pointers in C/C++ and have the advantage of being type-safe. 7. Explain the difference between a stack and a queue. This .NET interview question tests candidates’ basic knowledge of collections. Along with stacks and queues in this category are hash tables, bags, dictionaries and lists. A stack keeps track of what is executing and contains stored value types to be accessed and processed as LIFO (Last-In, First-Out), with elements inserted and deleted from the top end. A queue, on the other hand, lists items on a FIFO (First-In, First-Out) basis in terms of both insertion and deletion, with items inserted from the rear end and deleted from the front end of the queue. 8. What is .NET web service? Web services are reusable components that allow developers to publish an application’s function over the internet to make it accessible and directly interactable with other applications and objects online. Web services communicate by using standard web protocols and data formats - including HTTP, XML and SOAP - allowing them to connect across different platforms and programming languages. ASP.NET provides a simple way to develop web services. The .NET Framework provides built-in classes for building and consuming web services. 9. When should you use .NET Web Forms over ASP.NET MVC? Traditionally, the .NET Framework has been based on Web Forms. This was essentially an effort to create web services using Microsoft’s existing Visual Studio Tools without forcing developers to learn new scripting languages. Web Forms still allows developers to create quick and simple applications, and some legacy systems may still run as Web Forms. ASP.NET MVC is increasingly the standard for contemporary developers, however. In a .NET interview, a strong candidate should be able to highlight the advantages of the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architectural pattern. MVC’s most important feature is that it allows applications to be broken down into discrete models, views and controllers, making them much easier to test during development. 10. What is JSON data, and what is one way that .NET developers can work with JSON? JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) provides developers with a way to organize and store data so it’s easy to access and read. JSON is important for developers because it allows them to manipulate JSON feeds from other sites and to load them more quickly and easily than via SML/RSS feeds. Json.NET provides a way for .NET developers to define classes that parse objects and arrays from JSON text. You can also use Json.NET if you need to serialize value types into JSON text. Json.NET runs on .NET2, .NET3 and .NET4. 11. Explain the difference between managed and unmanaged code. .NET interview questions like this allow candidates to demonstrate their understanding of Common Language Runtime (CLR), a crucial part of the .NET Framework. Code written in C# or Visual Basic .NET will, when compiled, run only in the CLR, which provides functionalities such as garbage collection and memory management. The advantage of this is that managed code is platform-independent because it runs in the CLR rather than the operating system of the machine accessing the application. Code written in other languages, such as C or C++, produces unmanaged code, meaning developers can’t rely on the CLR to provide this kind of portability. Managed and unmanaged code are interoperable. Examples of unmanaged code used in .NET include COM components, ActiveX interfaces and Win32 API functions. 12. Define LINQ. LINQ stands for Language-Integrated Query. This is a Microsoft programming model and methodology that offers developers a way to manipulate data using a succinct yet expressive syntax. It does so by instilling Microsoft .NET-based programming languages with the ability to make formal queries. It is part of C# and can be imported as a library in other languages. 13. Read-only variables and constants have many similarities, but what is at least one way that they differ? Here are two possible answers to .NET interview questions of this nature: Read-only variables can support reference-type variables. Constants can hold only value-type variables. Developers evaluate read-only variables at the runtime. They evaluate constants at the compile time. 14. What do the terms “boxing” and “unboxing” mean? This question can reveal how much candidates know about data types and OOP principles. The idea is relatively simple: Boxing is a process that converts a value type to an object type - by “boxing” the variable inside a dedicated object or interface. Unboxing extracts this value and stores it in a value type. Boxing was essential in some old Collection types such as ArrayList, and can still be used for accurate conversion of types - for example, from a double to an int. 15. What are three common acronyms used in .NET, and what do they stand for? This one should be easy for .NET developer candidates to answer. The question allows them some flexibility in choosing terms with which they are most familiar. Three frequently used acronyms in .NET are IL, CIL and CLI: IL stands for Intermediate Language, which is an object-oriented programming language that is a partially compiled code that .NET developers will then compile to native machine code. CIL stands for Common Intermediate Language, formerly known as Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL). This is another programming language that .NET developers use, and it represents the lowest possible level for a language that humans can still read. CLI stands for Common Language Infrastructure. This is a compiled code library that Microsoft developed as an open specification. Developers use CLI for security, versioning and deployment purposes. Other acronyms commonly used in .NET include JIT (Just-In-Time) compiler, which uses the target machine’s CPU architecture to perform a .NET operation; OOP (object-oriented programming), defined in Question 1; CLR (Common Language Runtime), defined in Question 11; and LINQ (Language-Integrated Query), defined in Question 12. 16. What’s the difference between .NET and Laravel? This is one of the more straightforward .NET interview questions you can ask. Most web developers will at least be familiar with alternative frameworks such as Laravel and should be able to discuss some of the differences between those platforms and .NET. This conversation will allow you to dig down and discover where candidates’ interests lie and how they view the role of .NET developer. For example, they may focus on: Languages (e.g. C# support in .NET versus Laravel’s support for PHP) Security Processing overheads .NET’s integration with Visual Studio Third-party libraries Open-source community support Factors to consider along with .NET developer interview questions As well as specific technical questions, there are a few other areas of discussion to cover when evaluating .NET developer job candidates: .NET project portfolio - Ask candidates to show you examples of their past work, whether that’s a dynamic web page or some other kind of web application. If they don’t have any examples of professional work, take a look at some personal projects they’ve tackled. Software development methodologies - It’s useful to know how candidates have interacted with team members on other projects. Most professional developers will have extensive experience with Agile environments, so you can talk about whether they find this approach supportive or if they find Scrums distracting. Some developers may have experience of newer working methodologies such as DevOps. Soft skills - Technical abilities aren’t the only feature of an outstanding employee, so don’t forget to explore candidates’ soft skills and initiative. Communication and collaboration are essential for developers who are required to work with people in non-technical departments, while organization and time management are important for those who operate alone. Additionally, if developers will have access to sensitive data, make sure to assess them for ethics and trustworthiness. Tags

How to Answer Interview Questions About Working in Sales

How to Answer Interview Questions About Working in Sales How to Answer Interview Questions About Working in Sales Interviews can be tough for all candidates, but for people in sales, they represent a particular challenge. After all, if you work in sales, its your job to sellâ€"â€"your most essential qualification is your ability to convince people to purchase products or ideas that may be new to them. So when youre interviewing for a role, interviewers will expect you to bring all those skills to the forefront and sell yourself. During interviews, you can expect several questions about why you work in sales, from why you like it to what motivates you and more. What the Interviewer Really Wants to Know For interviewers, your responses to these questions will be a test of your research abilities - preparation is essential for success in sales. The more specifics you share, the clearer it will be that youve done your homework and are familiar with the company and its product. Being specific demonstrates that youre interested in this particular sales position (as opposed to any sales role that will hire you). Your answer is also an opportunity to display your  verbal communication skills, as well as your persuasive abilities. (Here are other important  skills for people in sales.) How to Answer What Interests You Most About This Sales Position?” If your prospective employers products or goals dont get you fired up and motivated to sell, then youre likely not a good fit for the job. But beyond the product, salespeople can be motivated by other factors, too. By asking this question, interviewers want to get a sense of makes you tick as a salesperson: Does money make you get out of bed in the morning? Do you like the challenge of selling something youve never sold before? Are you all about competition with your colleagues and a drive to surpass their sales? Be honest about your answer. If its money and the company is driven to hit killer numbers month over month, this is a good thing in their eyes. If its competition and they post a monthly tally of everyones sales to keep people on their toes, youll be driven to work hard. Examples of the Best Answers In your answer, you can mention your positive feelings about the product. Or, talk about specific aspects of the role or company that youre particularly well-suited for. This is a great opportunity to share any similar or relevant sales experience in the product category or to the companys demographic. See some sample answers that you can use to help you practice your own response. Im an avid amateur golfer, and I find your companys products to be superior and affordable for the average golfer. I believe selling something that I personally enjoy using so much makes me even more effective as a salesperson. Expand Why It Works: This answer ties the candidates personal values and interests into the answer, giving the hiring manager a taste of his personality. It also demonstrates his knowledge of their product through first-hand experience. I have worked in this territory for many years and would welcome the opportunity to use my contacts and experience selling a superior product such as this. Expand Why It Works: This answer demonstrates the candidates experience in the industry while also focusing on the role of the product. The opportunity to utilize my experience in international sales is what interests me most about this global position. Expand Why It Works: This answer gives a very specific reason which demonstrates the candidates research and passion about the position. It possible sets her up for a follow-up question involving international sales. Your company has an outstanding track record in customer service which I greatly admire.  I have broad experience selling to your customer base and I know how to feature the customer service component. For example, I developed a campaign last year that focused on the importance of customer service. Expand Why It Works: This shows the candidates research and knowledge of the company while also demonstrating his own experience in the industry. I am continually motivated by the challenge of selling something new. Crafting a pitch and landing a new client is a satisfying process that never fails to excite me. Expand Why It Works: This clearly shows the candidates passion. The candidate also uses specific duties from the description which shows his research, along with his passion. Tips for Giving the Best Answer Would You Buy It?: Prior to interviewing for a sales job, always ask yourself if you would buy the product or service. In sales, just as in life, you cant sell something that you dont believe in. Also, never take a sales job if you dont have confidence in the marketing department (if applicable) or the current marketing structure and tools. A poorly written, poorly programmed website makes for a hard sell, especially if your competitors have new ones. Be Prepared for Rejection: Understand that in sales, just like in job searching, there is going to be rejection. This point is especially aimed at the younger employment seeker who is thinking  about a  career in sales. If you want to do sales, do it. Once you get past your first few rejections and your first few botched cold-calls, it becomes second nature. Don’t let shyness or fear of rejection stop you from entering the field. It’s an amazing way to begin your career. Focus on Consultative Sales Skills: Remember that sales employers always want somebody who has what is most commonly referred to as a consultative selling approach. More or less, the term refers to a sales style that aims to uncover the clients needs as opposed to the infamous sales style portrayed in the film  Glengarry Glen Ross, which was most famously known for the mentality that, regardless of what the client wants or is best for them, close the deal. To express this unethical sales methodology in both an entertaining and theatrical manner, playwright David Mamet scripted the infamous A.B.C. or “always be closing line. The Employer Is Your Partner: Salary negotiation  is the #1 most difficult aspect of the job search  for many applicants in the sales and marketing arena. If you are not trained in negotiation, use what we refer to as the work with method. It means having the mentality that the employer is your partner, not your adversary, and together your job is to work towards a solution that will have you employed by the firm. If you think of negotiation in terms of winners and losers, youre going to end up the latter. What Not to Say   Dont make it about you. Many questions about working in sales are open-ended, but that doesnt mean every answer is a good one. In your response, keep the focus on the company, position, or product. Do not focus on what the position will do for you. That means, dont say Im interested in this position because it offers a high salary. That may be one of your motivating factors for applying for the role, but its not very compelling for interviewers. Dont summarize your resume. Many candidates tend to launch into a recitation of their work history whenever an open-ended question presents itself. You should understand the question carefully and really try to answer the why here. Your employment history speaks more to the what and the how of your work, so you should demonstrate that through your why. Possible Follow-Up Questions What makes you a good salesperson? -  Best AnswersWhat motivates you? -  Best AnswersWhy are you the best person for the job? -  Best Answers Key Takeaways Research the position: Be as specific as possible in your answer.Be Honest: This is a chance to demonstrate what motivates you and your passion will automatically reflect in your voice.Review the Sample Answers: Theyll help you get to the perfect answer.Keep the Focus on the Company, Position, or Product: Do not focus on what the position will do for you.

How to List References on a Resume

How to List References on a Resume How to List References on a Resume Its important to have  people who can vouch for your abilities and skills when applying for jobs, but offering a list of references right out of the gate is not always the best policy.A list of references includes people a prospective employer might contact to learn more information about you. These people should be able to speak to your qualifications for a job. Sometimes an employer will contact only one person on the list, and other times an employer will contact everyone. A list of strong references can be a great way to demonstrate your qualifications for a position.  When Not to Include ReferencesIf a job posting doesnt request references, dont list them on your resume or otherwise include with your job application. Including references was a more common practice in the past, so doing so when not asked for them might peg you as an older candidate. In recent years, it has become more common for companies to not provide references as a matter of practice in order to avoid potential lawsuits. Because of this, companies are less likely to expect applicants to provide references.There also are risks to including references. Even if you trust your references to provide strong recommendations, they might not do so. As well, its also possible they  could be known to your potential employers and not respected- hurting your chances by association.When an Employer Requests ReferencesIn some cases, an employer will request references in a job posting. Specifically, they might ask for a list of three professional references with telephone numbers and email addresses.  Follow the instructions when you submit your references. Unless instructed to do so, do not include the list on your resume; rather, create it as a separate list to send to the company. This list should include each reference’s name, job title, company, address, phone number, and email address. If the job listing asks you to submit a list of references but does not tell you how many you need, include three on the list. This is the typical number of references that employers want for each candidate.How to Request a ReferenceWhen you give out someones name as a reference, be sure that you have permission to use them as a reference  and  let them know they may be contacted. Provide some information about the job you have applied for, so your reference can relate your experience to the job and give you the best possible reference for the job. You also might provide the person with an updated resume or list of your skills and qualifications.If possible, select people who can speak to your skills and qualifications as they relate to the job you’re applying for. Only choose people who you know will give you a positive recommendation. These are typically employers, busi ness acquaintances, professors, or even customers or vendors.Sample Reference ListUse this template for your own reference list:Reference ListYour NameAddressCity, State Zip CodePhoneEmailReferencesJohn SmithHuman Resources ManagerABC CompanyAddressCity, State Zip CodePhoneEmailJane DoeAssociate DirectorXYZ CompanyAddressCity, State Zip CodePhoneEmailSam JonesExecutive Administrator123 CompanyAddressCity, State Zip CodePhoneEmail Tips on Listing  ReferencesMaintaining a list of potential references is something that should be done even when youre not searching for a job. When you find yourself looking for a new position, its best to be prepared with several names you can contact rather than scrambling on short notice to come up with references who would be a good fit. These are some other tips to keep in mind:List the references most likely to give you a glowing recommendation near the top of your list. Busy hiring managers may not contact every single reference, but  they’re likely to start at the top of your list. Therefore, it makes sense to put your biggest fans first.Choose the best references for the specific job under consideration. All of your references should have good things to say about you, but some will be able to make your case more effectively for  particular jobs. For example, perhaps you need to emphasize your management and leadership skills. In that case, it makes sense to seek reference s from people you managed or former colleagues who otherwise can attest to your ability to lead a team. Maintain a separate list of references for confidential job searches. The best time to look for a job is when you have a job, but that doesn’t mean that it’s easy to look for work while you’re employed. When you need to keep your job search a secret from your current employer, it’s best not to ask any of your current co-workers for references- even if they seem trustworthy and invested in your success.

Job Search Motivation Tips for the New Graduate

Job Search Motivation Tips for the New Graduate Job Search Motivation Tips for the New Graduate This is how it normally goes, you graduate from college hoping to land that dream job and then the constant application denials begin and the availability of positions dwindle â€" it can be disheartening. More often than not, graduates end up in a job that is well below their qualifications where they begin to question their competence and become unhappy. So, how do you remain positive when you’re getting beat up daily by the job search game? Here are a few job search tips for the newly graduated to help you stay motivated: Find someone to brainstorm with: Most universities and colleges do not prepare students for practical, hands-on, job-specific qualities that are required upon graduating. They’re looking for proof that you have what it takes to learn fast, be efficient and unfortunately, bring in the money. Therefore, it’s very helpful if you can brainstorm experiences you’ve had over the past 4+ years that can be used to polish up your resume and be used to your advantage during an interview. Jot down 5-10 accomplishments you’re really proud of, like when you volunteered or a professor recommended you to tutor students or maybe you helped a company you worked for part-time save money on a job. Anything that you were given praise for or made a difference. When you sit down with someone who knows you, you’ll be surprised with what you can come up with â€" maybe even things you forgot about! Get in involved: If you haven’t done so already, now would be a good time to get involved. Help out at a local food bank and add that to your resume. Recruiters look for diverse, extra-curricular assets that make job applicants stand out. Be proactive: Most universities or colleges have a career center that provides free resources for you to take advantage of, i.e. a career counselor to review your resume and help you personalize it to fit a job posting. This is a great first step and it’s completely free. However, if you’re serious about seizing every possible advantage during your job search, you can always a hire a professional resume writing service that has direct experience working with recruiters and hiring managers to ensure you look your best on paper. Consider your options: Now is the time to really sit back and reflect on what you want, and to be clear about what you’re looking to get out of your career. Be as specific as possible. What type of atmosphere do you want to work in? What type of salary do you want to make? What kind of people do you want to work with? Because most people are unsure of what they want or what they deserve, they end up working in jobs that make them unhappy. When you set clear expectations now, you set the grounds for happiness and success. Be strong online: Social media has taken over, that is a fact. For example, LinkedIn is a great professional networking site that allows employees and employers to connect virtually. Many businesses place job openings through LinkedIn offering an easy application process that you complete right through your profile. It gives you the opportunity to follow businesses and join groups where you can stay up-to-date with what’s happening. Never lose hope: One of the most important things to remember is to never give up and remain positive. Believe something special is coming your way, you just haven’t found it yet. Meditation and visualization can help you see your goal. Here’s a great quote to take with you, “Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.” ~Napoleon Hill
