Beware Foodie calls are on the rise in the USBeware Foodie calls are on the rise in the USMove over, booty call - the foodie call is becoming datings next phenomenon.As many as a third of women admitted to going on a date just for the sake of a free meal, an alarming new trend on the rise, according to a new study published in Social Psychological and Personality Science.Two groups of women were broken into separate studies, where they were asked about their personality traits, gender role beliefs, and if theyve ever participated in foodie calls. Twenty-three percent of the first group (820 women) admitted to engaging in foodie call behavior, with some believing it was mora acceptable.Most women from the first study deemed it not acceptable.Follow Ladders on FlipboardFollow Ladders magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and moreIn the second group, which analyzed 357 heterosexual women with a similar question set, the percentage was actually higher, with 33% admitting to foodie calls.If youre wondering what a foodie call is, its when a person goes on a date with someone but not for romantic interest. The person is more interested in scoring a free meal than extending pleasantries.Coincidentally, those who said they participated in foodie calls scored higher for personality traits linked to dark triad, often associated with psychopathy, narcissism, and Machiavellianism.Several dark traits have been linked to deceptive and exploitative behavior in romantic relationships, such as one-night stands, faking an orgasm, or sending unsolicited sexual pictures, said researcher Brian Collison.

Are You in the Networking Hall of Shame

Are You in the Networking Hall of ShameAre You in the Networking Hall of ShameIf youve ever committed one (or more) of these eight networking offenses, resolve to correct them.Lately, Ive been the victim of some pretty pathetic networking. Networking is about sharing information and building trust and rapport, yet lately I feel like some people who want to network with me are doing just the opposite. Here are some of the most common offenses I have experienced.1. Dropping the ball.Someone who I have never met contacted me and asked if we could speak because she was interested in becoming a career coach and wanted to learn more about the profession. She said she could talk anytime it was convenient for me, and we set up a time to speak. About an hour before the call, I got an e-mail from zu sichbei telling me she couldnt make our appointment and asking if she could reschedule. I sent her two alternative meeting times, and she never responded to me.2. Being inflexible. Via a business-n etworking site, a former client asked me and his entire network a professional question about which he was seeking guidance. I told him he could contact me between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. that day, and we settled on 5 p.m.. He e-mailed me at 430 p.m., saying it really wasnt convenient for him to talk on any day until after 6 p.m.3. Not respecting my time.An acquaintance asked for some pro bono career advice, and we set up a time to meet. He called me the morning of our meeting, requesting that we push the appointment back 45 minutes.4. Being lazy. A person I have never met who has worked at the same company I once worked for sent me a canned LinkedIn invitation that read, Since you are a person I know and trust, I would like to connect with you.5. Being pushy. A colleague of mine who is in sales asked me to introduce her to a decision-maker at an event hosted by a professional association. She then proceeded to pitch her companys products and services as soon as she started shaking the pe rsons hand.6. Taking advantage of the relationship.A client asked me to introduce her to one of my colleagues from a previous employer. After the introduction was made, I never heard from the client again until 18 months later, when she lost the contact information for the colleague and wanted me to supply it again.7. Taking too much of my time. A referral from a professional organization asked to speak to me for advice on making a career transition into a role as a human -resources practitioner (my former profession). She asked for a few minutes by phone. She took 45.8. Being a stalker.Someone who I have never met contacted me through LinkedIn and asked me if we could meet in Central Park to chat about her career transition. I opted for a phone call instead.Dont get caught in the Networking Hall of Shame. Try elend to emulate my next appointment (the one who pushed the meeting back by 45 minutes) who is waiting for me in the lobby. People want to help, but you need to network on th eir terms and be respectful of their time.

The Best Cities for Musicians and Careers in Music

The Best Cities for Musicians and Careers in MusicThe Best Cities for Musicians and Careers in MusicLocation, location, location is a mantra in the real estate geschftsleben, but does where you live matter to your music career? Yes and no. The answer depends on what youre trying to accomplish in music and what resources you have. Its Not Just Nashville First, there is definitely such a thing as a music city, and its not just Nashville. There are some cities that are closely associated with some aspect of the music industry, some places are associated with a certain sound or type of music and some cities are music industry centers in that they have an abundance of music-related businesses. There are benefits to being in one of these places, and in some cases moving to a city with a thriving music industry is a must. Consider the following For musicians, if your musical inspiration is rooted in a certain location, then being in that place can be helpful creatively. Some places are known for a certain sound or are significant in the history of a certain genre of music- think of Nashville, Glasgow, Seattle, South Bronx, Detroit, Chicago, and New Orleans, to name just a few. Not all musicians (or all styles of music) have a mecca city, but if yours does, moving there might be creatively inspiring, and you are more likely to meet up with like-minded musicians and find fans. If you want to work on the business side of the music industry- and you dont want to start your own business?then living someplace where there are music companies is a must. You dont necessarily have to move to a booming music capital, but if there arent ANY music related businesses where you live, where will you work? Before You Pack Your Bags Moving to a music city can be a good thing, but before you hit the road, be aware that there are some downsides Youll be a very small fish in a very big pond. For musicians, that can make getting noticed that much harder- think of London as a good e xample. Sure, there are tons of places to play and a bustling music scene, but that also means there is an overwhelming amount of competition.Likewise, if youre trying to get a music-related job, competition will be fierce.Music industry jobs arent always very well-paid, and the cost of living in many (in fact, most) music industry centers is quite high. Whats the Alternative? OK, so then what are the alternatives? If you live far away from a city with a thriving music scene, then youll need to create your own. For musicians, this means reaching out to other musicians in your area and working together to put on shows, trade contacts, and more. If youd like to work on the business side of things, this means starting your own business and working with the musicians in town to develop opportunities together. Youll also need to take full advantage of the social networking opportunities to reach out to other people working in the music industry and develop relationships online that y ou might develop in person if you lived in a music industry center. The bottom line is that many people with music careers do not live in music centers, and moving to one isnt a must. But you do need to work hard at developing your own opportunities and use the internet and social media to make business connections that arent in your backyard.?

Icebreaker Tips for Team Building

Icebreaker Tips for Team BuildingIcebreaker Tips for Team BuildingLooking for a winning kollektiv building icebreaker that you can use for meetings, training classes, team building sessions, and company events and activities? My five of anything icebreaker makes group cohesiveness and cooperation a natural extension of the discussion when you use this team building icebreaker. Icebreakers That Relate to the Sessions Topic You can relate the five items selected to the topic of the session and use the icebreaker to add to the content of the session. For example, in a session about how to run a successful meeting, you might ask the participants to identify the five fruchtwein important factors in making a meeting successful. In a session on employee motivation, you can ask the participants to share the five factors that most motivate them as individuals at work.

In each of these examples, theicebreakercan serve as the starting point for your discussion. Icebreakers That Are for Fun and Team Building On other occasions, you can use this icebreaker to encourage your participants to have fun and enjoy each other. These are twelve example topics that have been fun for participants in the past. 5 favorite novels5 favorite scary movies5 worst movies that theyve ever seen5 favorite flowers5 favorite vegetables5 favorite dinners5 foods theyd prefer not to eat again5 cities theyd most like to visit5 countries they plan to see5 favorite TV shows of all time5 most disliked tasks to do around the house5 favorite dogs Five of Anything Icebreaker Steps Divide the meeting participants into groups of four or five people by having them number off. (You do this because people generally begin a meeting by sitting with the people they already know best or the people from their own departments.)Tell the newly formed groups that their assignment is to share with the members of their group their five favorite movies of all time, or their five favorite novels or their five least liked films, and so forth as discussed above.The topic can be five of anything - most liked or disliked. This icebreaker helps the group explore shared interests more broadly and sparks a lot of discussion about why each person likes or dislikes their selected five.While I generally recommend icebreakers that are related to the topic of the meeting, five of anything is a quick, fun team building activity that people really enjoy. No one is asked to leave their conversational comfort zone and I have never found a participant unwilling to share the answers to this type of question. You can also use this icebreaker for topical discussion. As another example, in a session on team building, you might ask, What are five dysfunctional behaviors you have experienced when participating on an unsuccessful team? Or, Think about the best team you have ever been on.

Debrief the team building icebreaker by asking for a volunteer to read their list of five of anything. Or ask the volunteer to list any movies, for example, that more than one person had in common and shared as their favorite. Then, ask each group to share their whole list with the whole group.Because people are almost always your best source of laughter and fun, the reading of the lists generates a lot of laughter and discussion. You can also catch the drift of the conversation in the small groups based on the transitions made from item to item. When the volunteer from each group is finished, ask the rest of the participants if they have anything theyd like to a dd to the discussion before moving on with the rest of the session. This team building icebreaker takes 10 15 minutes, depending on the number of groups that need to report their discussion.

A thorough interview assessment will also provide you with details to address in your follow-up communications. In addition, youll be able to identify any problem areas in your present ation, so you can improve them and be even more prepared for future interviews. Document Contact Information and Next Steps At the conclusion of the interview, ask about the process moving forward. Will the interviewer be contacting candidates in a week for a second interview? Making a decision in ten days? Do they notify everyone who applied or just the successful candidates? Knowing what to expect will you can determine when to follow up and can reduce any anxiety you might feel about the whole interview and hiring process. Keep track of everyone you talked to during this process. If you were interviewed by multiple people, record any useful information or particular concerns raised by each rolle.

Include a brief summary of one or two sentences indicating why the position is an excellent match given your assets and interests.Supply any additional information that will address areas of concern that you were unable to fully address during the interview. For example, you might want to include a work sample demonstrating your competence in a key area of employer concern. Express your appreciation for the opportunity to meet, and if possible, compose slightly different personalized emails for each person rather than just copy/pasting the whole letter. Note something helpful that was shared with you by each individual. This is a nice touch you definitely want to leave a good impression on all parties involved and be memorable. In addition, consider forwarding a separate communication expressing your gratitude to any helpful support staff people you met. Those staffers have more influence than you might think when it comes to hiring decisions. You want as many people on your side as possible. Connect With Your Interviewer Online Its a good idea to think beyond the current position for which youve just interview because youre potentially creating a long-term relationship with this interviewer, even if you dont secure the immediate job opening.

These connections are important because if you dont get the current position, something might pop up later and the interviewer might make a connection with you. Notify Your References Having suitable references are going to be essential for your job search and you dont want them to feel like theyre being cold-called by your potential employer. So, if you havent already, alert your references that they might receive a call or email and summarize your case for the job and add in any points you want them to stress in their recommendation.
