Nicolas Lonard Sadi Carnot

Nicolas Lonard Sadi Carnot Nicolas Lonard Sadi Carnot Nicolas Lonard Sadi CarnotNicolas Lonard Sadi Carnot, the son of high-ranking military leader Lazare Nicholas Marguerite Carnot, was born in Paris in 1796. His father resigned from the army in 1807 to educate Nicolas and his brother Hippolyteboth received a broad, home-based education that included science, art, language, and music. In 1812, the 16-year-old Nicolas Carnot was admitted to the highly esteemed cole Polytechnique in Paris. His instructors included Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac, Simon Denis Poisson, and Andr-Marie Ampre fellow students included famous future scientists Claude-Louis Navier, and Gaspard-Gustave Coriolis. During his time in school, Carnot developed a special interest in the theory of gases and solving industrial engineering problems. After graduation, Carnot entered the French Army as a military engineer and served until 1814. In 1821, he visited his father, who had moved to Magdeburg, Germany. Lazare had seen a steam engine that had come to the city and father and son spent much of their time together discussing theories about how steam engines worked. Carnot returned to Paris, excited to develop scientific theories about steam engines and heat no researchers had yet discovered the fundamental scientific principles behind their operation. Most scientists believed in caloric theory, which maintained heat was an invisible liquid that flowed when it was out of balance. Carnot wanted to use his research to improve the efficiency of steam engines, which was only a meager 3% at the time. Carnot had two key questions about heat engines he wanted to answer Was the work available from a heat source unlimited? And can the efficiency of heat engines be improved by replacing steam with a different fluid or gas? In 1824, Carnot published Reflections on the Motive Power of Fire, which detailed his research and presented a well-reasoned theoretical treatment for the perfect (but unattainable) heat eng ine, now known as the Carnot cycle. In the first stage of his model, the piston moves downward while the engine absorbs heat from a source and gas begins to expand. In the second stage, as the piston continues to move downward, the heat is removed the gas still expands but this time through a temperature drop. In the third stage, the piston starts to rise and the gas is compressed again, driving off heat (isothermal compression). In the fourth stage, the piston continues to move upward, the cooled gas is compressed, and the temperature rises. Carnot realized that the conduction of heat between parts of the engine at different temperatures had to be eliminated to maximize efficiency. He also introduced the concept of reversibility, whereby motive power can be used to produce the temperature difference in the engine. Also some of the theories he determined laid the groundwork for the discovery of the second law of thermodynamics. Carnot died during a cholera epidemic that swept Paris in 1832, at the age of 36. Fearing they were contaminated, many of his writings were buried with him at his funeralvery little was saved. Unfortunately he did not live to see his work revered by other scientists. His ideas were incorporated into the thermodynamic theories proposed by Rudolf Clausius and William Thomson in the early 1850s. Rudolf Diesel also drew on Carnots theories when he designed the diesel engine in 1893. With his multiple scientific contributions, including the Carnot heat engine, Carnot theorem, and Carnot efficiency, Nicolas Lonard Sadi Carnot is often described as the Father of Thermodynamics. His concept of the idealized heat engine led to the development of a thermodynamic system that could be quantified, a key success that enabled many of the future discoveries that lay ahead. Mark Crawford is an independent writer.With his multiple scientific contributions Nicolas Lonard Sadi Carnot is often described as the Father of Thermodynamics.

In just the six months, DLA Logistics Information System has hired four targeted employees and one non-targeted employee, with more candidates under consideration following this program.The Presidents Executive OrderThe President has urged all federal agencies to embrace the federal hiring practices in a more user friendly way as the percent of hires and total workforce with disabilities are below 5%. The President has asked all federal agencies to step up to the plate to hiring more qualified individuals with disabilities including the war veterans. Please make this your status quo and your priority to making a difference in your hiring practices.Individuals with disabilities currently represent just over 5 percent of the nearly 2.5 million people in the Federal workforce, and individuals with targeted disabilities (as defined below) currently represent less than 1 percent of that workforce. As the Nations largest employer, the Federal Government must become a model for the employment of individuals with disabilities. My Administration is committed to increasing the number of individuals with disabilities in the Federal workforce through compliance with Executive Order 13163 and achievement of the goals set forth therein over 5 years, including specific goals for hiring individuals with targeted disabilities.

Want to be successful in your 20s Do these 9 things

Want to be successful in your 20s Do these 9 things Want to be successful in your 20s Do these 9 things People  define success  in a lot of different ways.Some think it’s  a certain amount of money. Others define it as a way of living, a level of freedom. The truth is, you can define success a hundred different ways - the only thing that matters is whether or not you’ve met the expectation you have for yourself.Follow Ladders on Flipboard!Follow Ladders’ magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and more!If you ask most people what they want out of life, however, almost everyone will say, in some way, that they want to be “successful.” They want the big promotion, the fancy car, the house on the hill, the powerful network, the list goes on. Unfortunately, because “success” is a subjective aim, very few people have any sort of actionable plan or even idea as to how they’re going to  achieve  the success they want so badly. They believe, if they say or think about it enough, success will just “happen.”Except it doesn’t work like that.Here are the things you should start doing in your 20s to guarantee you’ll be successful - no matter what.The sooner you get started, the better.1. Start working on your emotional health, nowLife only gets busier.Too often, people say the phrase, “I will once I’m a bit further along.” But then they get a bit further along, and nothing changes. They just keep saying, “I’ll do it when I’m older. Later, when I have more time.”But this is a dangerous cycle. Take 5 or 10 minutes, per day, and start practicing the habit of working on your emotional health now.2. Spend time with people who aren’t in their 20sYou don’t learn as much spending time around people who are exactly where you are.You learn by surrounding yourself with people who are further along, who have been where you are and have moved to the next level. If you’re in your 20s, then you want to spend time with people in their late 30s, 40s, 50s and above. They’re the ones with the answer s - not your friend who is 25 and still trying to figure things out for him or herself.3. Save and invest as much money as you possibly canInvestments benefit most from the variable of time.The sooner you can get started saving and investing, the more dramatic your gains will be over the long term.  Business Insider published a great piece  on this about how much more money you’d have for retirement if you started saving when you were 25 as opposed to 35.The difference is massive.Second, financial freedom doesn’t come from buying new sneakers or mimosas during brunch. Financial freedom starts to happen when money becomes a  tool  for you to use to make more money. It has to work for you - not the other way around. And the sooner you start practicing that skill, the faster you’ll get to a place where you’re financially secure.4. Get rid of friends who aren’t going anywhere in lifeThis might sound harsh, but it’s true: you are a direct reflection of the people around you .At a certain point, it’s important to realize where people are headed in life, and how much time you want to continue investing in those relationships. You don’t have to be mean about it, or stop talking to long-time friends entirely. But you also shouldn’t keep spending two nights per week getting beers with your buddy who is entirely comfortable in his cubicle job - if that’s not the sort of life you want for yourself.Friendships are investments.Invest wisely.5. Keep reading (even though you’re out of school)So many people stop reading in their 20s.We live in the age of Netflix shows and podcasts, YouTube series’ and IGTV interviews. But the truth is, reading is a completely different experience. It slows you down. It forces you to think deeply. It’s also one of the only forms of knowledge transfer that allows us to receive insights from those who can decades, even centuries, before us.The smartest people read - and you should too.6. Find a workout regime that sup plements your primary aim in lifeSuccess is almost always rooted in some form of physical exercise. Even the chess titan, Bobby Fischer,  swore by his exercise routine  to stay in shape and focused for upcoming matches.When we’re young, we tend to only associate physical exercise with “sports.” But as we get older, physical exercise becomes one of the few ways we can maintain a relationship with ourselves - our gym time is our personal time; an early-morning run clears your head for the day.Instead of only associating exercise with “getting fit,” think of it as a routine to make you better in all aspects of your life.7. Don’t let your hobbies dieWe all have things we love to do purely for fun.Unfortunately, they tend to fall to the wayside as life continues to take its course. Our hobbies become reprioritized. Our careers take over. Add in a family, kids, bills, vacations, etc., and next thing you know, it has been ten years since you picked up the guitar or wrote in yo ur journal.But our hobbies are what keep us grounded. They help us remember not to take life too seriously, and to always make time to enjoy the journey.8. Find a mentor - and forgo short-term rewards for knowledge that will last a lifetimeEveryone in their 20s is so obsessed with becoming successful  as soon as possible.And while this sort of hunger to succeed is great, it should never cause you to make short-sighted decisions. For example, what’s more valuable: pitching your services for $1,000 but being treated as a vendor? Or performing your service for free but getting to work directly with the person you want to learn from the most?A lot of people would disagree with this sort of mentality, and yet it’s one of the greatest “success” shortcuts on the planet. The more you can give up short-term rewards, and invest in yourself, the slower things might be in the beginning but the higher your ceiling will ultimately become.9. Nurture your relationship with your significant otherI used to think you could only become successful (in your 20s) if you were 100% dedicated, obsessed with making progress, and, well,  single.There are a lot of entrepreneurs, especially, who live by this sort of mentality - and even the ones that do have relationships will regularly de-prioritize their partner. And even their partner will eventually say, “He always says he has to work, and there’s no time for me.”But this is a flawed approach to both business and life.I’ve come to learn (through my own relationship) that having someone to share the journey with, to emotionally support you along the way, isn’t going to hold you back. If anything, a life partner will make you better - which means it’s your responsibility to help nurture that relationship along the way.This article first appeared on Medium.

The Inner Workings of an Advertising Agency

The Inner Workings of an Advertising Agency The Inner Workings of an Advertising Agency The inner workings of an advertising agency can be a mystery to anyone outside the industry. The way these agencies are represented in movies and on television is often a world apart from the actual day-to-day operations of a legitimate firm. This is a driven- and sometimes cutthroat- industry with many interlocking parts and personnel. Most agencies are comprised of four major departments: business, research, creative, and media. Each must excel if an agency is going to be successful. How Does an Advertising Agency Work? An agency usually gets work when it receives a pitch from a potential client- an audition, with the client providing a brief to a number of advertising agencies and choosing the one that best resolves the problem, perhaps something along the lines of a competing brand. It doesnt always happen this way, but its common. Contracts are then signed, and the real work begins. The scope of works (SOW) can vary greatly depending on the type of agency and the client, but the agency generally agrees to produce a certain amount of work for a set amount of money. That might be a retainer, an hourly fee, or another arrangement. The client agrees to pay the agency upon receipt of the work. The ad agencys role is to solve problems for its client. The types of problems and solutions can vary depending on the nature of client’s business and the ad agency’s areas of expertise.   The Process of Creating Advertising Campaigns The majority of advertising, marketing, design, and PR firms work along the same basic concept of steps. Some steps might be skipped or combined, but the basic structure is often the same. The account manager and team meet with the client to identify the problem that needs to be resolved.The account manager writes a creative brief based on that problem. It will include competitive analysis, research, the assistance of the planner and/or creative director, and, eventually, a sign-off from the client.The account manager briefs the creative team and establishes a timeline, budget, and proposed media.The creative team works on the project for several days or weeks, and brings the first round of ideas to the creative director. The creative director will cull the ideas that arent working and direct the team to explore the better ideas.The creative team will continue to work on the ideas, bringing in assistance from the production department if necessary. The account manager and other members of the agency might be enlisted as well to make sure the work is on track. The production department will begin estimates if there are printed pieces involved, or if a shoot is required.The creative director approves the final ideas and the creative team presents them to the client. The client will typically take some time to discuss the ideas before giving feedback to the agency. Feedback might result in a reworking of ideas, or a green light to move into the execution of workable ideas. A budget and timeline will once again be approved at this point.The creative team works closely with the account team, the media-buying team, production, and the creative director to produce the ads in whatever form has been agreed to.The final ads are placed in front of the client for approval. The ads are published if the client approves, whether its online, in print, outdoor, on the air, or in any other media. The agency will monitor the success and the return on investment of the ads and give feedback to the client.The client pays the agency and the whole process is repeated. Self-Promotion and Awards Are Key Firms reserve the right to cut ties with an ad agency at any time and to move on to another agency that might serve their needs better. Its a competitive business, and acknowledgement and success are crucial to survival. Agencies must get out there to win more business, and to have clients coming to them for more work. They often enter their best work in awards shows. Only the best shows will garner attention from clients who are worth having. Theyll also develop websites and other forms of self-promotion to get clients looking in their direction.

How professionals make it look easy

How professionals make it look easy How professionals make it look easy I recently gave a keynote speech to a crowd of roughly 3,000 people. I had to catch a flight back home right after it ended, so I bolted out of the conference center to take a Lyft to the airport. As I was leaving the building, someone in the audience caught up to me.“I’m dying to know,” he said. “How does public speaking come so naturally to you?”I set my bag down and replied:  Gloss reflects more than it reveals.Follow Ladders on Flipboard!Follow Ladders’ magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and more!  I then walked off. (Just kidding!). I spent a minute unpacking what I meant, and I’ll do the same here.When I first started public speaking- which was about nine years ago- I was spectacularly awkward. I would write everything I planned to say and deliver it, word by word, in a monotonous fashion. The only change in my tone was the result of palpable tensions in my voice. As I read from my mental teleprompter, I could sense the boredom wafting from the audience. There was  zero  connection between my listeners and me.The same was true in the classroom. The first time I ever taught a class as a law professor, I was so nervous that I tripped over some computer wires, nearly producing an unhappy meeting between face and floor.But I showed up again, and again, and again, marching to the decisive beat of effort-result, effort-result. Each class I taught, and each speech I gave, was a little bit better than the one that came before. Along the way, I discovered how to build a connection, how to tell a good story, and how to conceal missed beats so the audience doesn’t even notice.I practiced public speaking four times a week for  nine years straight  both as a professor and a keynote speaker. Even with that experience, I’m still a work-in-progress. I get tangled up from time to time and stumble over my words. I still get nervous before every speech. But it’s a controlled nervousness- the type that doesn’t paralyze you but keeps you on your toes, makes you over-prepare, and convinces you that if you don’t put out your best every time, the stage can be whisked away from you at any moment.Here’s the thing: Nothing springs to existence perfectly formed. Lionel Messi, who’s as perfect as soccer players come (sorry, Ronaldo fans!), said it took him “17 years and 114 days to become an overnight success.” Steve Martin echoes the same point: “I did stand-up comedy for eighteen years,” he says. “Ten of those years were spent learning, four years were spent refining, and four were spent in wild success.”This is why comparison is the ultimate joy killer- and why it’s so dangerous. When you compare yourself to a seasoned professional, the comparison isn’t apples-to-apples. You’re the beta version, and they’re the finished product. They’ve been doing this for years- if not decades- and you’re just starting.When we engage in this comparison, we assume we’r e not good enough or talented enough, so we don’t even bother trying.But gloss reflects more than it reveals.The next time you’re tempted to put a role model on a pedestal, keep in mind the messy history behind the glamour. You’re not seeing the earlier versions of that stand-up routine that elicited boos from the audience, the earlier drafts of that book chapter that would make any self-respecting writer cringe, or the early versions of blockbuster animation films like  Toy Story  that Pixar’s own President Ed Catmull called their “ugly babies.”It’s like learning how to walk. The early attempts are ugly. At first, it’s a struggle to even stand up. And even when you start walking, you repeatedly fall over. But with each fall, your body learns what to do and what not to do. By learning not to fall, you learn how to walk. You become the envy of all those still toddling their way to their first steps.The idea is the same whether you’re learning to walk, do stand-up, o r score the perfect goal. There’s no magical spell, no pixie dust- no silver bullet.The professionals make it look easy by repeatedly doing what’s hard.Ozan Varol is a rocket scientist turned law professor and bestselling author.  Click here  to download a free copy of his e-book, The Contrarian Handbook: 8 Principles for Innovating Your Thinking.

Improve Your Interviews with a Post-Game Review

Improve Your Interviews with a Post-Game Review Improve Your Interviews with a Post-Game Review Improve Your Interviews with a Post-Game Review Herrenkohl How can you improve your teams hiring decisions when it comes to how to interview candidates? How can you avoid common hiring mistakes? One way is to conduct a post-gamemeeting with everyone involved in the hiring process. First,have multiple people interview the job candidate.After the interview, get all the interviewers together to share their assessment of the candidate. Here are some steps to take: 1.Share impressions. Allow each interviewer to share his or her impressions of each candidate based on verbatim notes. What impressed them?What questions did the candidate raise?What answers did the candidate provide that were weak or incomplete?By sharing these impressions, other interviewers can verify their own candidate reactions.Inevitably, one interviewer catches something that everyone else missed. 2.Encourage open and honest commentary.If you have a range of junior and senior people involved in the interview process, have the senior executives wait to share their impressions so as not to sway the junior people in the room. At the same time, emphasize with everyone that hiring is too important a decision to have anyone hold back their honest impressions. 3. Utilize an interview scorecard. Force all the interviewers to rank the candidates interviewed using an interview scorecard and make a recommendation based on the information gathered so far as to who they would hire. This process forces people to compare and contrast candidates clearly. 4.Beware of primacy and recency. Human beings have a tendency to remember what came first and what came last, and to forget what came in between. Warn interviewers to be aware of this primacy and recency dynamic and to guard against it.After all, if the 4th candidate out of 6 was the best person you interviewed, you dont want his or her name to get lost in the shuffle. 5.Create a short list of candidates you will invite for second interviews.Exclude people who clearly dont have the accomplishments or background to do the job you need done.Include both highly qualified candidates and individuals who have the background to do the job but may not have communicated their accomplishments as effectively as other candidates.The latter candidate can often become a first choice.When you invite people for second interviews, keep everyone on the interview team in the loop, whether or not they are involved in the second interview.

We all have a little Elsa in us at work, says co-author of 'Frozen' We all have a little Elsa in us at work, says co-author of 'Frozen' At the age of 42, Robert Lopez is the youngest of only 12 people in history to earn entertainment’s grand-slam victory of  EGOT: an  Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony Award.Robert’s career spans two decades of some of the best and most iconic songwriting out there.  He is responsible for creating the scores and books of the Tony award winning musicals “Avenue Q” and “The Book of Mormon”, as well as the song  Let it Go  from Frozen, which netted him and his equally talented wife Kristen Anderson-Lopez their first Academy Award for Best Original Song.Our question when we see someone so relentlessly successful and talented is: how did he or she get to this point? What secrets did Lopez learn in the making of Frozen that relates to how you can be successful in a project? Robert talked to us about all of this before he was being honored at the City University of New York  â€œInvest in a Future” Gala.Ladders: You won the Oscar for “Let it Go” from Frozen, and it’s such an i conic and timeless song. What kind of secrets did you learn from the making of that when it comes to how to successfully work in your career?Robert Lopez: We really had to lean in, writing that score, because the story was very different when we came in  [Elsa was the villain] and it wasn’t right to be a musical. It just didn’t feel like it would sing, and if we tried to be good and work within the bounds of what we were supposed to say, what we were supposed to do and who we were supposed to be please, it would’ve been harder for everyone to find the movie where we wanted it to be.  One of the things that we learned is that it is good to lean in and disagree, and it makes you a motor in the process when you are able to bring a different point of view - and you know when to have that point of view and not always stop everything. I think part of it was my wife Kristen being the braver one of the two of us, leaning into what it should be about and the two sisters and what it’ s like to be a woman growing up. She drew from her identity.Honestly, do you think we are all a little Elsa at our job?(Laughs). You know, I think there is a little bit of her in all of us. I was always a perfectionist as a kid, and had my share of freakouts and that is how I found my way into her character.  Outside of Frozen, you have done some amazing theater work including “Avenue Q” and “The Book of Mormon.” Has there been anyone you have worked with that has left a lasting impression? Well, let’s see. I’ve been lucky enough to work with a lot of heroes, like Matt Stone and Trey Parker from South Park, who were my idols in college. I got to work with John Lasseter and the people at Pixar and Scott Rudin, these are just greats in the industry.  Jeffrey Seller as well, who produced “Avenue Q” as well as “Hamilton” and “Rent.” I don’t know, I wouldn’t say anybody I wouldn’t want to work with, but I wouldn’t want to work on something just for the m oney that I didn’t like. That’s another lesson that you learn: if you take a project for the money, just for the money in a creative setting, it is hard to fly. Because you have to make yourself happy as well as the audience.You’ve had so much success in many arenas, how do you handle success as it comes?It is tricky, it is hard and can really come between you and what makes you an artist. It’s a constant process of therapy. It’s nice to win awards - but it is nice to put them in context and not buy your own hype. It is hard to not start thinking of yourself as a thing, you are still yourself.We all have the naysayers in our life, whether they are coming from a place of love or the other way around. How do you handle these sorts of people?I tune them out. There were a couple of toxic relationships when I started working and it was hard to let them go because you feel like you needed them. You feel, at least I felt, scared that I would fail without the person. Letting go o f those toxic relationships, as scary as it is, it leads to a better life and even though its painful, because we all have them, but if you can and find the courage to do it, it pays off.And finally, for success in any sort of career that includes a great deal of longevity and prosperity, what is your best advice?Some of it is just being there. Being in the right place at the right time which you can’t control that, but you can control how you put yourself out there. So, they say “never say no to going out somewhere with people,”  or “never say no to going to some industry thing,”  and if you are like me, a little bit shy and a bit of an introvert, it is good to find a partner who brings that out in you, which in my case is Kristen.

Cartoonist Scott Adams on Why Passion is Often Overrated

Cartoonist Scott Adams on Why Passion is Often Overrated Cartoonist Scott Adams on Why Passion is Often Overrated Cartoonist Scott Adams on Why Passion is Often Overrated Read an excerpt from Scott Adams new book on the blog. Blaszczyk, Managing Editor, Resource Center Scott Adams, creator of the iconic cartoon series Dilbert, knows a thing or two about success and just as much or more about failure.Luckily for us, he shares it all in his new book, How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big (Portfolio, 2013.) Adams is candid about his failed corporate career, flat-lined inventions and investments and how he conquered a variety ofhealth problems. His book is a study of how failure can lead to success by cultivating the right skills along the way. An entrepreneur at heart, Adams remains humble, attributing his good fortune to luck as much as anything else. In this interview, he reveals his latest business venture, along with insights about work, life and health, and successfully balancing them all. Monster: Your book is a personal exploration of your own career development and life philosophy. Whats been the feedback? Adams: The early reviews have been terrific. This is my most personal book, and the first time I have written a book designed to help readers navigate life. So the great feedback is extra rewarding in this case. Monster: You prefer to use systems (which provide immediate feedback) instead of goals. Does that philosophy run counter to how most companies track progress? Adams: Most companies and most individuals are goal-oriented. I think our minds are wired to make that the default strategy. You imagine what you want and then you chase after it. The problem with chasing a specific goal is that the odds of obtaining it are probably low compared to the system approach that prepares you for a wider variety of opportunities. For example, instead of having a goal of getting your bosss job someday, it makes more sense to have a system of continuously learning new and complementary skills. That way youre prepared for any number of jobs and you dont have to wait for your boss to die. Monster: You recommend that people pay themselves $100 to remove each unnecessary word when writing a resume. Do you use that rule when writing Dilbert? Adams: The idea is that you shouldnt include unnecessary words in your writing. The imaginary $100 payment for each word your remove is a mental trick that helps you get there. But if you think in that way long enough, it becomes second nature. Monster: Whats the most difficult part of creating a great cartoon the words, the images or getting them to work together? Adams: The hard part is picking a topic that hasnt already been worn out. Once I have a fresh topic, the writing and the art happen easily on most days. The benefit of being a one-person operation is that my writing style and my drawing style work well together because they spring from the same set of preferences. Monster: Employers are looking to hire passionate employees. Yet you say thatpassion is overrated (you actually use a more descriptive word.) Should both parties rethink the concept? Adams: Successful people like to say their secret to success is passion. In my experience, success requires energy, a good strategy, hard work, and a lot of luck. If your plan starts to make you rich, youll probably be passionate about it. But passion generally follows success; it doesnt cause it. I think successful people say passion is the key to success because almost any other answer sounds arrogant. I know a guy who got rich selling doorknobs. Was he passionate about doorknobs? Probably not. He was just a smart guy with a good plan and enough energy to make it happen. And I assume there was some luck along the way. No passion required. Monster: You talk a lot about the importance of a healthy diet and exercise, yet many people work long work hours with long commutes that lead to stressful eating and little exercise. Whats the solution? Adams: For starters, recognize that your health is your primary economic asset. That understanding makes it easier to insert exercise and healthy eating into your schedule. Keep in mind that healthy people are more productive. And if being fit makes you more attractive, that has an economic value too. If you work a bit less so you can exercise a bit more, you probably come out ahead in the long run. It also helps to have a long term strategy of someday enjoying a more flexible schedule. That might mean someday working for yourself, or it might mean having a boss who cares more about your productivity than your attendance. Monster: You last worked in the corporate world in 1995. How do you stay current with work trends? Adams: I get a lot of suggestions by email. And as you might imagine, everyone I meet has a work story that they think would make a good comic. They are often right. Ive also been working on an Internet start-up for the past two years, so Ive been living and breathing that life. (Its called CalendarTree.comand will be available in beta when you read this.) Monster: Has the workplace changed much over the past few decades? Adams: Technology always changes, and management fads change, but the way humans act in a hierarchy almost never changes. Monster: What about management skills. Has the dynamic between managers and employees changed significantly? Adams: The balance of power shifts with the economic climate. In boom times, such as the dotcom era, good employees are in high demand, and managers have to be generous to attract and keep them. In periods of high unemployment, management has all the power. Monster: You describe your career in corporate life as a failure and yet you were promoted and moved up the ladder. Were you living example of what would later become The Dilbert Principle? Adams: My career got stalled at the first level of management in my banking career. And I never managed people during my phone company career that followed. My pay went up with each promotion but I never got to a full Dilbert Principle level of management incompetence. Monster: Is there any plan to write a follow up to your 1997 book, The Dilbert Principle? Adams: After The Dilbert Principle came out, everyone seemed to ask me for my suggestions to fix all the problems that I mocked. I resisted that urge for years because I didnt want to become the sort of management guru I mocked. With the new book, my focus is on motivating individuals and not management, so it fits me better. Monster: What would it take to create a more productive office space and if that happened, would you be out of a job? Adams: Productivity always improves over time as companies experiment and they observe best practices in the industry. And of course technology always marches forward. I dont see productivity as being much of a problem. The bigger problem is when management focuses on productivity to the point of evil. As long as that keeps happening, Ill have plenty of material and plenty of people who want to read it. Author Bio Scott Adams is the creator of Dilbert, one of the most popular and widely distributed comic strips of the past quarter century.He has been a full-time cartoonist since 1995, after sixteen years as a technology worker for companies like Crocker National Bank and Pacific Bell.His many bestsellers include The Dilbert Principle and Dogberts Top Secret Management Handbook.

What se ctions should you include in your HR specialist resume?By default, your resume should consist of your header, professional qualifications summary, skills list, employment history, and education. On occasion, you may have reason to add sections such as awards, technical skills, and hobbies, but for the most part these sections are optional. Only include information in your resume that offers real value as a selling point. You can often trim extraneous information, until your resume is as lean as our HR specialist resume sample. Think of what you prefer to see in candidates and reflect that in your resume.2. What should go in the experience section of your HR specialist resume?Keep your experience relevant by including only the most recent 10-15 years. Break down each job description to no more than six to eight bullet points, as exemplified in our HR specialist resume sample. If you’re not sure how to write an effective work history section, try our step-by-step resume builder.More than anything, your experience section should focus on achievements. Achievements say that you went above and beyond expectations for past employers and will repeat this pattern with future employers. Finally, write your work history section using strong action verbs to make a powerful point.3. What goes in the header of an HR specialist resume?Your header isn’t the place to impress employers, so keep it to a bare minimum. Refer to our HR specialist resume sample for an example of a clean, no-fuss header - but for a basic breakdown, your header should consist of your name, address, phone number, and email address.You may also opt to include your LinkedIn profile. This is a great way to entice employers to look at your recommendations. Avoid other social media, though. You never know when the wrong employer may stumble across an ill-timed tweet.4. What’s the best format for a resume: PDF, MS Word, or txt?When in doubt, default to MS Word. Some employers may specifically ask for PDF or text-based resumes, but unless they specify otherwise the average employer expects to see a Word document when they receive your resume. Word documents allow clean, neat formatting like our HR specialist resume sample and are also compatible across most devices.PDFs are also cross-compatible, they but can be byte-heavy and rather slow. Text files may open anywhere, but they lack formatting. Your information will blend together into a wall of featureless text.5. What should you do to make sure your HR specialist resume makes it past an ATS?As an HR specialist, you’re more than familiar with applicant tracking systems, the programs used to scan applications for keywords. It’s frustrating, then, to suddenly have to contend with one to submit your application for consideration. Play it smart by optimizing your keywords throughout your skills section, summary, and work history.Review job applications to identify the keywords employers are most likely to seek. For a few sugges tions on how to integrate keywords smoothly, check out the examples in our HR specialist resume sample.
