How to Schedule Meetings Without Any Hassle

How to Schedule Meetings Without Any Hassle Finding a time that suits everyone to schedule a call or meeting can get quite messy. Calendly  brings simplicity back to scheduling, by handling your availability with others with only a few clicks of a button from yourself. With over a million monthly users, Calendly is trusted by LinkedIn and Zendesk, and is widely used by all kinds of professionals in order to make their day a little bit more manageable. Whos it for? Recruiters HR Managers Employers Freelancers Small and medium-sized enterprises Features Ill just take you through how simple Calendly really is, in doing so I will guide you through the whole process from beginning to end: 1. After you have created an account, you arrive at your Dashboard where you will find the events that have been scheduled for you.  If you head to the Event Types at the top of your screen you can decide what length of meeting you want your clients/candidates to be able to choose from. 2. Once done you can share the link that has been provided to you based on your account, and prospective candidates and clients will be able to choose how long they want to meet you for (15, 30, or 60). 3. Say they have chosen 30 minutes, they will then be guided to decide what day they want to meet you. 4. They select Monday, for example, then are able to choose from all your available timings on that day. If any time has already been taken on your calendar, then it naturally does not show up as a choice. 5. Once they have picked a time, all they then need to do is fill out their name and email address, and voila, the event has been scheduled. 6. Which is then sent directly to your own email address as a notification, and added to your calendar as well.   Benefits It really does remove the hassle of going back and forth with a client, candidate or co-worker. It handles the whole scheduling process, and all you need to do is check your schedule on that day to see whats in store for you. Im a fan of its simplicity because it means you dont have to be the most tech-savvy person out there.   Calendly is easily integrated with all the popular email services such as Gmail, Office 365 and Outlook. It even checks if anything else is scheduled in that time for you and avoids double-booking you. Notably, Calendly also integrates well with Slack, MailChimp, Salesforce, and Zapier. So it can come in handy in a number of integral work processes. Problems These are the main problems I faced during my time using Calendly, and these issues can be user-specific only: The free options can be quite limited as you can only choose one sort of event (15 min, 30 min, 60 min) to schedule. They have not yet developed a mobile version of the application, which is a huge drawback for someone like me who likes to work on the go. When booking time slots for myself it did not take into account Reminders that I had in my Gmail, and that caused a few issues such as rescheduling with clients. Results Based on my use of Calendly for the past month, for the primary use of scheduling meetings and calls with clients, I can say that these were my key findings: Significant reduction in time spent planning or scheduling meetings Decreased re-scheduling rates from clients More free time to spend on other business relations Price You can create a free basic account which I found can be useful, but there is a choice between a Basic, Premium and Pro account, of which you can find the breakdown in benefits here. If youve purchased Calendly wed love to know if it has been worth your money! Were sure other readers would appreciate it as well. Rating ????? (4/5) I genuinely liked the product and it did free up time for me to do other things, but Im not sure I would pay a monthly premium for it. It in many ways depends on the type of job you have. There were a few problems I came across which caused me to give it a 4-star rating, but Calendly is simple and unintrusive enough that almost all professionals would find it useful to some degree.

Ten Ways To Keep Yourself Strong With The Changing Season

Ten Ways To Keep Yourself Strong With The Changing Season Fall is right around the corner, which means it’s time to bundle up and  prepare your body for the cool weather to come. The immune system is a large collection of different cells that have a primary goal to protect your body and attack foreign organisms or matter. Keeping these natural defenses strong is very important for transitioning into the new season and involves a variety of strategies.  Dr. Christopher Calapai, D.O.  is sharing his top  10 ways to keep you strong for the transitioning season. Exercise on a daily basis:   The minimum should be a half hour of walking continuously so as to increase oxygenation to tissues as well as deliver vitamins minerals and hormones to these cells. Be sure to get good deep restorative sleep: This should be at least six hours every night. Sleep deprivation not only makes us tired, but decreases function in almost all organs. Keep chemicals and preservatives out of the diet:   We should eat as organically as possible, with the diet comprised of a variety of vegetables, fruits and good protein sources. Test your blood for vitamins, minerals, and hormones: Thousands of studies over many years have described that vitamin deficiency is correlated with degenerate disease we can give me in response among many others. This test will guide you as to exactly what nutrients youre deficient in, and what you should take. “There is no better test than  this,” says Dr. Calapai. Do not smoke cigarettes: This is a no brainer for most, as they contain thousands of dangerous chemicals, which can lead to a low immune system. Be careful with exposure to alcohol: This can have the variety of effects that are hurtful to the body if done in excess Maintain a clean home environment: In areas where you spend the most time, make sure that surfaces are cleaned with products that can kill germs or viruses.  Use HEPA filtration systems to capture particulate matter including dust, allergens or organisms that can make you ill.  Wash your hands: Thoroughly and a few times during the day and avoid other people that have chronic infection, flu or a virus. Try to minimize stress, anxiety and irritability: Taking a break for a few minutes during a stressful day can make the stress response much less progressive. Lastly, be sure to visit your doctor for routine testing and physical exam inform:   This ensures you are constantly aware of what is going on with your body. About the doctor: Dr. Christopher Calapai, D.O. is an Osteopathic Physician board certified in family medicine, and anti-aging medicine. Proclaimed the The Stem Cell Guru by the New York Daily News, Dr. Calapai is a leader in the field of stem cell therapy. His stem cell treatments have achieved remarkable results in clinical trials.  Hes worked with  patients with conditions as varied as Alzheimers, arthritis, erectile dysfunction, frailty syndrome, heart, kidney and liver failure, lupus, MS and Parkinsons.

International Students Job Search FAQ University of Manchester Careers Blog

International Students Job Search FAQ University of Manchester Careers Blog Written by Noeleen Jones, International Careers Consultant I  was asked recently by a colleague to have a look at the Job Search FAQ I produced a couple of years ago and to update this.   I have read through and updated the frequently asked questions that all careers  advisers/consultants  who work with international students get.  Here are my answers to these questions. How easy is it to get a job in the UK?   Getting a job is competitive in the UK at internship and graduate level in particular for international students. However if you start you job search early enough and expand your experience it is possible.  If you are looking to stay in the UK after graduation then you need to understand your visa options and how they affect you. The more you understand about your visa options the more empowered you are when being questioned by potential employers especially those interested in hiring you but with little knowledge of the visa process. You can find out everything you need to know regarding visas and working in the UK after study by going to the Careers Service website at:  www.manchester.ac.uk/careers/international UKCISA https://www.ukcisa.org.uk/InformationAdvice/Working/Working-after-studies   is a great site for specifically for international students and explains the various visa rules clearly. In addition the UK Government website has more information https://www.gov.uk/browse/visas-immigration/work-visas The students that succeed in getting jobs in the UK work just as hard on their job search strategy as they do their degree and learn to balance their priorities. Successful students do the following: Start their job search early â€" Undergraduates when they arrive in year 1 and postgraduates as soon as they arrive in September. Attend employer events, networking sessions, skills sessions and open evenings on campus and in the employer offices Engage with employers at events and on campus, ask questions about the recruitment process, what they are looking for in candidates and ask for business cards, Get additional experience through internships, part-time work, volunteering and insight weeks Join relevant industry clubs such as the marketing club, business club, engineering club Attend fairs and prepare for the fairs through researching the employers attending Engage with their careers service to ensure their CV and applications demonstrate their skills and experience effectively Attend careers events on campus such as CV sessions, skills workshops and psychometric test sessions Attend alumni events on campus including “Meet the Professionals” series Research thoroughly their sector and the companies they want to work with and ensure they are on the sponsor register Reach out to alumni working in those organisations of interest online and at events How likely is it that I will get sponsored? It depends on your job hunting strategy? The earlier you start your job search the better your chances are at getting a job offer and being sponsored. Be informed about your visa options and engage with your careers service for advice and guidance. With regards to engaging with employers don’t start with the question “do you sponsor visas?” as this question is usually received negatively and employers get the impression you are just looking for a visa.  Your approach to employers is important as first impressions count. Research the company beforehand and have some good questions ready for example: about their recruitment processes, what they are looking for and if there is something they are working on how you as a graduate can get involved. It is more likely that you would get sponsored by a large multinational than by a small to medium sized company but there are many different firms who sponsor. For the latest list of Tier 2 and Tier 5 sponsors see here:  Register of Licensed Sponsors   At what stage do I tell companies that I need to be sponsored for a visa? This will depend on you and how risk averse you are. It also depends on what information you have researched on the company. If a company is not on the sponsor register then they are unlikely to sponsor you but it is not impossible as many small to medium companies have become sponsors based on excellent candidates. If a company is on the sponsor register they are more likely but not guaranteed to sponsor international student. Some organisations are only on the sponsor register to hire experienced professionals but you won’t know this until you apply. If an organisation asks on you are “eligible to work in the UK “or “if you have the right to work in the UK” the answer is No. The company needs this information if they are to sponsor you, but of course some companies use this as a rejection tool. Some companies are put off by becoming sponsors as they feel it will be too much work this is where your knowledge of the visa system can work in your favour. A conversation and a referral to an immigration lawyer can put them at ease. Most students will be upfront on their application and cover letter.  If the company asks your eligibility you must be truthful.  Other students will go through the process of recruitment and take the risk at the end when the question is asked at interview or offer stage. Both approaches have their own advantages and disadvantages. To see an example of a cover letter that includes discussing your visa requirements see our Starting points guide area  http://www.careers.manchester.ac.uk/services/downloads/startingpointseriesofhandouts/  and look for Covering Letter Guide. Who sponsors international students? To see who sponsors refer to the sponsor register. This is continually updated and has over 29,750 employers listed. It is a PDF so can be navigated holding down the “ctrl” button and “F” key together to give you a search bar at the top right of the document. To see the latest document follow the link  Register of Licensed Sponsors   Which career sector is more likely to sponsor me? I have  put together a list of some of the sectors I  believe are happy to sponsor international student applicants for graduate roles. This is provided in good faith, but do check with the organisations themselves to confirm their position and ensure they are on the Sponsor Register. Banks/Finance Consulting IT Engineering/Manufacturing Scientific Can I get some UK experience and then go home? All work experience is important to employers and if your intention is to go home but get a little experience first then Tier 5 could be a valid option for you.   Tier 5 visas are available through particular agencies who act as the visa sponsors so that your employer does not have to sponsor your visa or be on the sponsor register which gives you far more options in terms of potential employers. Tier 5 Temporary Worker (Government Authorised Exchange) is intended to give university students the chance to gain work experience related to their course before they return home. You can find more details on the UKCISA website and the university careers webpages  http://www.careers.manchester.ac.uk/international/ukworkafterstudy/tier5/ Each agency has different criteria for sponsoring under Tier 5 so read their conditions thoroughly before applying but most follow these rules: The role must not be for longer than 12 months (BUNAC this is 6 months) The work must be related to the graduates course of study The role must be supernumerary (outside regular staffing requirements) The internship must be paid at least National Minimum Wage and be in line with all applicable employment legislation The work must be at a skill level of NVQ Level 3 or above When your tier 5 is up you must leave the country and apply for a new visa from outside the UK, so this is only for graduates looking for a short period of work in the UK.  Remember you must consult with an immigration lawyer when applying for a visa the Right to Appeal no longer exists so you only get one chance to get your application right! Where can I find Tier 5 schemes and sponsors? There are over 70 schemes under Tier 5 Temporary Worker. Tier 5 sponsors are listed alongside Tier 2 sponsors in the Sponsor Register or you can find a list of all the current  Tier 5 schemes and sponsors  on the UK Visa and Immigration website. Can I work during the summer? Gaining work experience whilst you study through a part-time job, vacation placement, volunteering or internship will help you develop skills to add to your CV. UK and international employers value the range of transferable skills and commercial awareness which you can gain through work experience in addition to academic qualifications. If you are an undergraduate student the Summer Vacation is part of your vacation period and under your Tier 4 visa you can work full time. You can also work full time during Christmas and Easter. If you are a Postgraduate student the Summer Vacation is considered your term time and therefore you can’t work full time. You can however still volunteer and work part-time for up to 20 hours per week during this period. Your vacation time for full time work only includes Christmas and Easter vacation periods. Can I get part-time work in the UK which is related to my future career? Part-time work can include work experience, volunteering and a part-time job. Employers are increasingly looking for students who have diversified their CV’s. They arent interested in hiring students who devoted all their time to study even though your final degree result is important. They want you to develop soft skills such as leadership, team work, communication, interpersonal skills and many more which can be done in the workplace. Your work experience can be in your field of interest but you have to be diligent to find this and ensure there are opportunities in this field where you are studying as commuting long distances for a part-time job may affect your studies. All work experience is held in high regard by employers regardless of industry or location. It is down to you to communicate effectively to employers what it is you want them to know about you. If you are applying for a job don’t list what you did during your part-time job in a hotel as a list of tasks be more creative and think of this as an opportunity to market your skills effectively to employers through quantifiable key achievements. Employers do not want to see a list of tasks on your CV for example “answered email, answered phone, cash handling” as these tell an employer nothing about your abilities or skills, but if you stated “worked as part of a diverse team of 15 people across 2 departments” then an employer would gain a greater insight into your abilities. What should I do if I am coming to the end of my degree/masters and I haven’t found a job? If you are coming to the end of your programme then you must consider your options including that of going home to start your career. If an international career is important to you then it is not essential that this happen at the start of your career. Consider looking at international organisations in your home country and starting your career there. Working in a company for at least 2 years, gaining experience, building a professional reputation, a strong professional network and skillset can put you in a strong position to move internally with the company to an international office. Having the time to develop professionally and to develop your skills and language can help broaden your career prospects and improve your career opportunities. It is a smart move to have a Plan B. C. D……. and so on as it is a very competitive market out there. In addition considering other locations for your career after university can broaden your career prospects. Consider your languages and what countries you can work in as a result, as their visa requirements may be different to the UK. Do not rely on the UK graduate market for your first job after your degree you must have additional options in order to give yourself a good chance of getting a job. If you are struggling to find a job speak to your careers service as they may be able to offer help and insight into your job search. Can I work for myself? Under a Tier 4 student visa you are not permitted to work for yourself or freelance. This is where a company may state they are hiring your services and instead of a salary or pay you invoice/bill them for your time. Freelancing could lead to the cancellation of your Tier 4 student visa. If you have a very good business idea or aspire to work for yourself after graduation you could consider a Tier 1 Graduate Entrepreneur Visa. You can find information about this visa on the University website http://www.careers.manchester.ac.uk/international/ukworkafterstudy/gradentrepreneur/ In addition there is the Tier 1 Entrepreneur Visa and again information on this can be found on the careers service website http://www.careers.manchester.ac.uk/international/ukworkafterstudy/othervisasandancestry/ Good luck!

Personal Branding Interview Kerry Patterson - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

Personal Branding Interview Kerry Patterson - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career Today, I spoke to Kerry Patterson, who is the Cofounder of VitalSmarts, and the New York Times bestselling co-author of Crucial Conversations: Tools for Talking When Stakes Are High. His latest bestseller is called Change Anything: The New Science of Personal Success. In this interview, Kerry reveals findings in his latest book, how to prevent bad habits in business, identifies the six sources of influence that work against us, and more. What would you like readers to get out of Change Anything? We all know change is hard and can be discouraging, and that’s not because we’re weak willed and incompetent. That’s because we have a lot less control over our behavior than we think we do. There’s just too many outside influences that will combat even our strongest-willed efforts to change unless we use a model that counteracts their negative effects. When you read Change Anything, you learn that model and consequently put the control to change back into your own hands. Read Change Anything and you will have the knowledge to solve nearly any problemâ€"from weight loss, to relationships, to finances, to career, you name it. In your new book about personal success, what piece of research surprised you? Perhaps the most surprising finding to those who have tried, but failed, to change their behavior is that willpower is not the answer. Change is not about gutting it out all day, every day. Unfortunately, however, most of us are stuck in the willpower trap. We believe our ability to make good choices stems from nothing more than our willpower and as soon as our willpower runs thin, we stop trying to change altogether. The truth is, we have a lot less control over our behavior than we think we doâ€"which is why willpower is insufficient to change tough habits. However, there is good news. We do have great control over the things that influence us. Successful changers spend less time trying to “gut it out” and more time wisely aligning the six sources of influence that control their behavior. In fact, those who leverage all six sources of influence are 10 times more likely to succeed at changing their behavior (MIT Sloan Management Review, 2008). How would you define a bad habit in business? Can you give an example? How do you get rid of these bad habits? As we researched the bad behaviors that sapped people from advancing in their careers, we found some startling trends. Eighty-seven percent admitted that their boss had been so unhappy with their performance that he or she prevented the employee from getting the pay, promotions, or other opportunities they wanted. However, these same people who are viewed as underachievers in the eyes of their bosses also believe they are in the top 10% of performers in their company. Clearly there is a startling gap between what they believe to be true about their performance and what they are actually doing. This data tells me employees aren’t behaving in ways that add value to their organization. For example, they may be doing good work, but not in areas that affect corporate strategy or the bottom line. They may be working on projects that interest them, but are of little use to their supervisor. I’d suggest employees who feel stuck in their careers learn the three vital behaviors of top performers: Know your stuff: Top performers put regular effort into ensuring they are good at the technical aspects of their jobs. They work hard to hone their craft. Focus on the right stuff: Top performers contribute to tasks that are essential to the organization’s success. In order to have the right focus, top performers study their own company and then work on their skill set and access to critical tasks the company values. Build a reputation for being helpful: Top performers who take time to help their coworkers solve critical problems put themselves at the epicenter of important networks. What are the six sources of influence that are working against us? There are six sources of influence that explain why we make the choices we do. If you don’t understand how these sources affect your behavior then they will work against youâ€"combating your best efforts to change. Those six sources include: Source 1: Love What You Hate: We struggle to change because bad habits feel good while good habits feel bad. Skillful changers use powerful tools to change their impulses. Source 2: Do What You Can’t: If change is taking too much will, its probably because you lack skill. Learn the skills you need to make and keep new habits and change gets far easier. Source 3: Turn Accomplices into Friends: Bad habits are a team sportâ€"we usually have accomplices who motivate our vices. Peer pressure and the influence of friends and family is extremely powerful in influencing behavior change. Source 4: Get a Coach or Mentor: Coaches are crucial to behavior change success. We all succeed with a little help from others. Source 5: Reward Small Successes: For example, reward yourself with the money you will save by changing your behavior. Or Put Skin in the Game by putting the money you would have spent on your bad habit at risk if you fail to keep your commitment. Source 6: Control Your Space: Make physical changes to your environment that makes good behavior easier and bad behavior harder. Can you give an example of someone who overcame life-long bad behaviors? It has been so inspiring intimately studying the challenges and triumphs of our Changers. Who wouldn’t be inspired hearing how Michael V. got out of a 20-year cycle of addiction and crime; how A.J. lost 80 pounds and gave up a 2-pack a day smoking habit; how Patricia S. got her marriage back â€" and how countless professionals have increased sales, made themselves more promotable and gained more influence in their careers. But my favorite â€" if I’m honest â€" are those closest to home. I know a young man who I watched suffer from his own bad habits for years. I shared an early copy of the book with him and he has been problem free for the first time in his life for many months now. And as gratifying as that is, what gives me the greatest hope for him is that he now knows how to think about both his successes and his failures in a way that puts him in control of change. He understands the science of personal success. Kerry Patterson is the Cofounder of VitalSmarts, which has helped more than 300 of the Fortune 500 realize significant results using a proven method for driving rapid, sustainable and measurable change in behaviors. has authored award-winning training programs and led multiple long-term change efforts. He is the New York Times bestselling co-author of Crucial Conversations: Tools for Talking When Stakes Are High. His latest bestseller is called Change Anything: The New Science of Personal Success. He received the prestigious 2004 BYU Marriott School of Management Dyer Award for outstanding contribution in organizational behavior. He did doctoral work in organizational behavior at Stanford University.

What To Do When Speaking About Your Work is Hard - Kathy Caprino

What To Do When Speaking About Your Work is Hard This week, I had a fascinating marketing coaching session with a woman who shared with me her difficulty in speaking about her work.   She revealed that, every time she discusses what she does for a living, one of two things happen: 1) People turn off immediately or 2) They poke some fun at the company she works for (it’s a well-known national organization with an external reputation that isn’t 100% positive) While our session was ostensibly about “crafting a powerful elevator pitch,” it morphed quickly into something quite different.   We explored not just the “content” of her elevator pitch, but the “process” of how she feels about and connects to her work, and what is missing. There are vitally important factors that contribute to being able to speak and write about your work and your job in an authentic, exciting and compelling way.   It’s not all about the words you choose â€" it’s about what’s underneath those words. The following are key ingredients to communicating about what you do for a living with passion, power, and purpose: 1) Alignment You have to be aligned with your work and supportive of it in order to speak engagingly about it.   If you have internal conflicts about the company or the work you do, it’ll show. 2) Clarity You must be clear about what you do and what aspects of your responsibilities you wish to share with others.   If you wear several different hats in your work, get crystal clear about which professional dimension you want to focus on, and to whom (tailor your messages for each type of audience you encounter, so they can care about what you do). 3) Authenticity â€" If you have to lie or fib to create a compelling story of what you do, it’s time for a change.   Lying weakens you, and your energy palpably reveals that you’re not telling the truth. 4) Passion â€" You can’t fake enthusiasm.   If you’re bored to tears with your work, you’ll be boring to others about it.   Theres a difference between a job and a calling.   If you have a calling, you’ve got passion for it.   But if you have a job that doesn’t light you up, find some aspect of it that elicits excitment in you (or think about changing directions a bit so it will).   5) Growth â€" Finally, if your work is NOT helping you grow and learn, your communications will reflect your stagnation.   Make a shift in your work so you’re learning and growing all the time.   Your writing and speaking will reflect this expansion, and positive growth is a magnet to others. In the final years before I reinvented my career to something I love, I was corporate VP selling products that, to me, had zero contributive value or meaning in the world.   I hated the work, and I simply couldnt find a way to speak about it positively.   When folks would ask me, What do you do? Id give some vague, boring or confusing response.   Why?   Because the work I did wasnt me at all.   I didnt like, respect, or even care about it!   If that resonates with you, its not your elevator pitch that needs tweaking its your line of work or how you’re engaged in it.   How about you? Do you like talking about your work?   If not, what’s the hardest  thing about it, and what do you think that challenge suggests?  Thanks for sharing!
