Cut to success thats going to. Thank you mn rissoles has consultant hooks up companies with candidates for a job. The employers are smarter now and applicants to. Says that much has changed over the years in the world of what. Expect haitians to do you have at the beginning he started out with a clear picture of my career it had to do with levels of. Job titles salaries i think nowadays people have different expectations whats important to them are things like Work Life Balance personal development efficacy those are the current aspects of choosing a profession and id say theyre better off the best at least i think have really changed. It is equal to they really want to be appreciated i think that used to not be the case so much people used to be more willing to put themselves in the trainee role its no they want to have an impact immediately to those they want their work to produce Great Results for the company right away. The name. Im about to applicants have a sense of entitlement to expect too much from companies. Its doubly hard to be going to be used fast paced world people tend to want their career to be exciting its people no longer have the patience and the commitment to work on building up a career they dont see it as a process and accept that as beginners they dont have influence and cant do much and have to learn things but wanting everything to happen all at once is not helpful. This will fall to shame most. Young people dont think in the long time and i fail to realise that things dont always run smoothly as a bit of who doesnt think absolutely underestimated they get the impression from you tube facebook and instagram that all you have to do is put yourself in the right light and things will happen and success will come just like that but you have to remember that every like and every follower is the result of hard work. What counts. Is an applicants personality as well as the skills and educational qualifications he asks what goals and needs they want to fulfill in that profession. But the things that you do companies have to change and often applicants small. I think they should because its an inexpensive way of making themselves more appealing its one thing to offer a few perks but that wont make a real difference and people are still being nasty to each other creating an appealing and collaborative environment takes more than a few perks how important is money as the gates to the money should never be an end in itself and the money isnt for having but for spending money if you enjoy a working life armed with perseverance industriousness and dedication you will always end up with an attractive salary so you shouldnt base your decisions too much on money through the title pendulum. It doesnt matter how qualified you are if you dont make a good 1st impressions or in a Job Interview you probably arent going to get hired and you only get one chance and heres something you may not have heard but probably implicitly know it takes just seconds for someone to decide if they like you whats scarier the 1st impression usually sticks.

And as we all know 1st impressions count whether its with hotel guests or corporate customers every day we create a received countless 1st impressions is this person a nice or unpleasant friend or foe we usually draw such conclusions subconsciously and at incredible speed more often than not people dont get a 2nd chance then this thing we call this the primacy of basically provides an anchor at that moment for the person making the judgment and it affects the way they process Everything Else softer words. By default but its at that. One classic example a man arrives for a Job Interview because of his attractive appearance the boss decides within no more than 7 seconds that theres applicant seems competent. From then on even subconsciously looking for more information that supports his hypothesis all indications that might speak against it he simply disregards. So if the applicant provide samples of his work the boss is more likely to view them in a positive light than samples from another applicant that he doesnt consider competent and that impression is then reinforced by the socalled halo effect based on the qualities hes observed the boss begins to assume the applicant also has other qualities without verifying his supposition so based on the applicants attractive appearance glasses and suit he might. Conclude this applicant is disciplined in this way his 1st impression is reinforced and leads to a positive assessment overall. Which in turn has another interesting effect does the steps of when the profit turns into a selffulfilling prophecy in other words if someone feels that loss has confidence in them they actually respond accordingly theyre much more likely to live up to expectations. So if the boss believes a particular employee is competent thats likely to improve that employees performance with a button down all the stuff i got. A new study from the us has confirmed just how powerful 1st impressions can be any test participants were shown photographs and asked to assess the people pictured even when they subsequently met the subjects and person their 1st impressions based on the photo remained largely unchanged its possible to learn how to make a good impression here in berlin weve come to a workshop where participants are being taught how to prepare for Job Interviews but even though 1st impressions do count in an interview situation then not everything. But once its not just your personal appearance you dont need to back that up by being well prepared for the interview and knowing your stuff you can make a good 1st impression but if the interviewer then realizes theres no substance there doesnt really benefit you that much.

And these days jobs for life arent as common as they used to be of course it depends what sort of work were talking about joining a religious order definitely brings job security but it is a decision that needs to be carefully thought through quitting because you dont like your boss for example is it really an option the Catholic Church is in fact having problems filling its ranks these days it least in many european nations we went to a convent in western germany that struggling just to stay afloat. This isnt just a place for christian reflection and prayer its also a business. The team is made up entirely of women. That benedictine nuns and they run the abbey. It receives no funding from the catholic it has to pay its own way and all the risk. Right now its main problem is a staff shortage. We dont have as many young sisters as we would like. 10 of the 27 nuns here are moving 80 years old and theres only one novice in training nance dont pay into the state pension fund so they dont qualify for an old age pension. The idea has always been that the younger sisters support the older ones to some extent. Now that the ratio of older to younger sisters is so high its becoming difficult. Almost all or older sisters dont get a pension. So we reflect the situation the german Pension System as a whole finds itself in one isnt it as. Solidarity is the foundation of this Monastic Community members support each other. 2 sisters teach theology at universities their pay flows into the communal coffers. Salaries make up the bulk of the abbes income right now teaching jobs are for limited terms the abbey invests the money it does have to try to make its fortune grow the system. In charge of finances is called the center does she pray for rising Interest Rates. No no i leave it to god to decide how he wants to help us. I just pray that he does help us. System manages a one and a half 1065000 system when Interest Rates were higher life was easier. Now that theyre extremely low as they have been for several years shes moved into stocks and Investment Funds but not just any she observes ethical guidelines. No child labor prostitution or weapons we also consider human rights working conditions and whether unions are allowed. But there is an inherent tension here. If we want to diversify we cant just invest in micro finance funds and sustainability. We have an Exchange TradedFund Tracking that acts in their eggs and another one for the m. D. X. And an inflation like one and none of that is ethical or sustainable. Its hard to be an ethical investor and the financial brains of a catholic cabbie. Capital are not natural allies. The abbey has a workshop the next parliament some liturgical clothing from gone through weaving embroidering to finish chance it used to be an important source of income. For the liturgy you should acquire something decent not just cheap stuff. Sister miriam cuts no corners she only uses soap and does everything by hand prices start at 2000 euro. But there are fewer and fewer catholic priests nowadays. And many of those there are shop on the internet. Because. Were now competing with whats available off the shelf online from the comfort of his desk a priest can order for 300 or even 150 euro. This is it might not look that bad at 1st glance but its not the same as coming here and getting Something Special to the shelf. The abbey also welcomes guests 2 sisters are assigned to look after them room and board costs 53 year as a night so its not exactly a money spinner. When sister teresa he was young she was keen to pursue a profession. Shes now 84. A friend of mine entered the abbey i wrote to her and told her she must be crazy i would never ever do Something Like that. Sister theresa has been here for 61 years she says she wants to see more women in positions of authority both outside and within the church. And priests come here and theyre very grateful if.

Benedictine values include silence prayer ability and stewardship listening to humanity peace Work Community and hospitality monasticism has weathered many crises over a very long period. Things certainly will change but its been 1500 years and monasteries are still here. Once had 600 monks by 1909 there were just 3. Now there are 200. 00. He said the only constant in life is change.
