How To Build Up The Skills Employers Think Students Lack

How To Build Up The Skills Employers Think Students Lack Image via blog.shepell.com Relax before you speak and make sure you clarify whatever is being said. Miscommunication often leads to problems in the workplace. Lastly, empathize and always be positive. Talk to all your coworkers in a constructive tone and you will receive the same back. Remember, everyone has different points of view so always keep that in the back of your mind when conversing. Understand where the other person is coming from. If you follow these small tips, your interpersonal skills will greatly improve and have a positive impact in your work environment. In addition, problem-solving was another skill employers mentioned that they found college graduates lacking. This is not just doing math problems; this refers to analytical thinking. The first step in improving your problem-solving skills is to fully understand the problem. According to wikihow.com: “If you don’t properly understand the problem, your solutions may be ineffective or fail entirely. To define the problem you will have to ask questions and look at different angles. For example, is there one problem or actually several? Can you restate the problem in your own words?” This means you will probably also have to gather more information. In order to get a clear picture of everything, you need to know everything. Once that is done is when you can begin the second step making a plan. When you start formulating a plan, look at your gathered information as a whole and order its importance. Following that, you can start drafting multiple solutions. It is important to have choices; it gives you more options to solve the problem. That way you are not stuck trying to make one solution work. According to wikihow.com: “Use analogies and similarities. Try to find a resemblance with a previously solved or common problem. If you can find commonalities between your situation and one youve dealt with before, you may be able to adapt some of the solutions for use now.” Once you have planned out a couple solutions, evaluate them and pick one. Now you have to implement it. When you put your plan into practice, do a trial-run first (if you can). See how it works for a few days or weeks, depending on what the original problem was. Review the results and if nothing has changed, you go back to the drawing board, or try out one of your other options. Make adjustments as you go along; new problems always arise. There are other ways to work on your problem-solving skills as well. According to wikihow.com: “Play video games. Video games have been portrayed as intellectually lazy for a long time. However, new research shows that playing video games can improve parts of thinking like spatial perception, reasoning and memory.” Choose the game wisely, as obviously not all video games are suitable for training your problem-solving skills. Try a puzzle game or a role-playing game, something that makes you think. In addition, try taking up a hobby that forces you to do some strategic thinking. This includes chess, learning a foreign language, Sudoku, or web design. Tackling interpersonal problem-solving skills, the most answered in the said survey, will improve your meaning in the work place. Therefore, your employers will be happy and the transition from college to the working world will be smoother.

OC Tutoring Tips Four Tips For a Better Study Session

OC Tutoring Tips Four Tips For a Better Study Session Tips From a Private Orange County Tutor: How to Make the Most Out of Your Study Session Tips From a Private Orange County Tutor: How to Make the Most Out of Your Study Session No matter how smart you are, odds are you’ll have to invest some of your time studying for your classes. Studying is a big part of being a student, and a key to success when it comes time to take exams. Studying is also essential for students preparing to take the ACT, SAT, or any other form of entrance exam. Below are four tips to help you make the most out of your study sessions. 1. Mute All Distractions Checking your Instagram every few minutes? Is the TV on in the other room and you can’t stop listening to it? Whatever the distraction may be, it’s best to put it on mute so you can concentrate. Remember that where you study matters. If you’re going to try and study in the living room while your siblings gossip and watch TV, you’re not going to retain what you are learning. A solution would be to study at the library, which is always a calm and quiet oasis for students. What about that phone? There are apps that you can use to block websites such as Instagram and Facebook for a certain amount of time. Shutting these distractions off completely will make for a much more productive study session. 2. Make Sure You Are Organized Once you finally get the willpower to sit down and study, the last thing you want is to get up and look for something. Before beginning your study session, make sure you have all of the right materials, books, notes, etc. that you will need. Keep the documents organized   so you’re not scrambling through a bunch of papers the whole time. A little organization can go a long way. 3. Take breaks If you plan on studying for a few hours, it’s important to take breaks so you don’t overload the system. Leave your phone and computer inside and take a quick walk around the neighborhood. Just don’t take too many breaks (READ: 10 Reason Why You Need a Summer Tutor). 4. Use a private OC Tutor As mentioned in the previous tips, studying can be overwhelming. Do you have enough time? Are you forgetting about something? Have you mastered a topic enough to move on to the next one? These are all questions that a private Orange County tutor can help you answer.

Collaboration Versus Solitude Which One Drives Innovation

Collaboration Versus Solitude Which One Drives Innovation Photo by Keith Mulcahy via Flickr. Cain also highlights that while some interaction is good and fuels productivity, most office platforms that involve being corralled into endless meetings or conference calls conducted in offices that afford no respite from the noise and gaze of co-workers, is limiting, since studies show the employees with open-plan offices are more susceptible to sickness, have a higher incidence of stress, and are more hostile than their closed-office counterparts. We can even get a taste for the disdain of constant contact through a simple headline from an article in the  Guardian,  titled, Open-plan offices were devised by Satan in the deepest caverns of Hell. So what is going on in groups that is in some cases spurring innovation, yet oftentimes limiting it? The differences may lie in the way humans socialize; as social beings, most humans desire to be liked and accepted by their peers and certain groups (think cliques in high school). Keeping this in mind, it is only natural that in a group environment, individuals opinions are easily swayed and influenced by that of the group namely, the more charismatic leaders. This isnt to say that introverted individuals are pushovers, but that almost everyone in a group setting is (at least subconsciously) trying to fit in with the group and/or monitoring the reactions of others, which is a  huge  distraction factor. The reasons brainstorming fails are instructive for other forms of group work, too, Cain wrote. People in groups tend to sit back and let others do the work; they instinctively mimic others’ opinions and lose sight of their own and, often succumb to peer pressure. These distractions disappear when an individual is alone. Cain goes on to mention a study involving Emory University neuroscientist Gregory Berns, which found that when we voice an opinion that is different from the majority, we activate the amygdala, the organ in our brain associated with fear of rejection. Berns termed this phenomenon the pain of independence, and highlights how it can be difficult to open up with ideas in a group setting. Any time people come together in a meeting, we’re not necessarily getting the best ideas; we’re just getting the ideas of the best talkers, Cain said in an interview with Fast Company. While it is safe to say that solidarity versus collaboration and creativity depends highly on the individual personality, it is also worth noting that there may be different stages in the creative process that require both solitude and collaboration. If someone is really trying to nail down an idea and bring it into creation, solitude is by far the best option for getting the work done, and this is something companies that employ individuals doing this type of work should consider in order to generate higher quality work. On the other hand, one-on-one collaborations in a casual environment may lead to unexplored avenues of thought around an established idea. Collaborations are also great for executing ideas into the public and mainstream, as ideas often rely on a bit of extraversion to bring to light. It is interesting to note, however, that many successful leaders and innovators of history and today, such as Ghandi, JK Rowling and Eleanor Roosevelt, are introverts. Also, religious teachings around the world center around prophets such as Moses and Buddha venturing off alone in order to come back with revelations. Even Albert Einstein was a reported introvert, writing, The monotony and solitude of a quiet life stimulates the creative mind. It seems, in a society that values the Group and charismatic, extroverted leaders, that it is time to reevaluate the roots of innovation, and awaken again the respect that once existed for the quieter individual. Only then can we begin to strike a balance between group efforts and working alone. And maybe, after years of enacting the New Groupthink, we can again discover that it is only after we have left the herd that we can return with revelations.
