The expectations you have of yourself are paralyzing you. Get out of your head and start working on your skills. If there is only one thing you could compare yourself to is... you! Try your best for a small step of growth every day. Begin today! by Alexandros Kilmpasanis

What does success look like?

You see it all over the media. The success stories. The “Top 30 under 30” who revolutionize their industries. The teenage pop stars. The people who write New York Times best sellers and have millions of followers all over social media. You might have even picked up their books or checked out their interviews on YouTube. If you have, good for you! You are tuning into what’s going on around you. You are expanding your horizons and getting on top of the latest trends. You are getting inspired by these people’s work ethic and you might be dreaming of leaving your mark in the world as well.

But these cases stick out for a reason. Reality is usually less glamorous. In the EU, the average graduate lands their first job after 6 months and 60 applications*. And that’s without counting the graduates who are underemployed or employed in jobs irrelevant to their fields. After reading the quotes, watching the TED talks and learning everything there is to know about the greats, you know their path was anything but easy either. So where do you even begin if you have little to show?

What would success look like for you? We all have an idea of who or what dictates success for us. It can be our parents, our friends, our friends’ jobs, our salaries or even our relationship with time. The problem with expecting outsiders to recognize our success is that it never ends. Can you ever say that you’ve made it? Every time you meet a goal, the expectations get higher and higher and success looks further away.

What does success feel like? Lena Dunham, has said about bravery: “We often can’t see the ways in which we are being strong. You can’t be aware of what you’re doing that’s tough and brave at the time that you’re doing it, because if you knew that it was brave, you would be scared.” Success feels the same way. You can’t know what success feels like before you begin. What you expect will be irrelevant to the end result. Where start if the end product looks nowhere near your standards? Who will care about your amateur creation? How are you going to find the time to make it perfect? The expectations you have for yourself are paralyzing you. You should not be comparing yourself to legends, they have a head start. You should not be comparing yourself to your colleagues or peers, they have different experience and skills. You should not be comparing yourself to your parents, (Freud would like to have a word with you).

Hell, you shouldn’t be comparing yourself to anyone. Something about comparing apples to oranges. But also, because no one is perfect. No one has it all figured out. The idols you look up to might have gone through the same stuff. But they didn’t talk themselves down.

#BeginToday First step? Get out of your head! Enough with the comparisons, the critique, the expectations. Respect yourself, your work and love the process of crafting. Trust your hands and your heart. That should be enough to make you happier. Now use that motivation to actually start working on your stuff. Commit yourself to finishing your project, but don’t stress about it.

Try your best for a small step of growth every day, starting today. Write the words, the lines of code, draw the sketch, or edit that video or music file that you’ve been thinking about all the time. When it’s done it will feel better, than any instant gratification you get from a GIF. It will not be enough to achieve astronomical success. It will get you going. And that’s how you #BeginToday. 9

Networking Do’s & Don’t We all know the feeling. You are standing at the buffet, alone - hanging on to your carrot sticks in search for a familiar face in the crowd. It does not matter if you are the new intern in a Fortune 500 corporation or the long lost cousin at a family reunion. Don’t eat your snacks alone. Make your grandmother or your boss proud - you need some serious networking skills. Here are some do’s and dont’s for any kind of networking scenario. by Teresa Harbeck

Do How to network right The famous writer and journalist P. J. O’Rourke used to say: “A firm, hearty handshake gives a good first impression, and you’ll never be forgiven if you don’t live up to it.” Make a great first impression with a smile, a heartfelt “Hello, my name is....” and a firm handshake. SMILE, SMILE, SMILE. Of course you should still seem sane but an overdose of happiness, if genuine and from the heart has never hurt anybody. If you are the radiant positive particle in your own professional universe - who would not want to do business with? 10

LISTEN TO YOUR DIALOG PARTNER. Studies show that people bond with good listeners. Ask questions and try to find out more about the person next to you. There is nothing worse than people monologuing about their life. CONNECT PEOPLE. In a business world its all about give and take. You met Jon who works with something Katy is looking for? Great! Introduce them to each other and stay in the conversation. No matter if you are an intern or a guest at a party. People will remember you for your excellent matchmaking.

’t n o D What to avoid MAKE A SALES PITCH. The most important rule of networking is: Do not pitch your product, yourself or your service without a prior reference. Of course you can reference your expertise but do not start an aggressive sales pitch. NAME DROP. You know people that know people that know people? Congratulations, you’ve just started a boring and excluding conversation. Your counterpart might

even be feeling you’re showing off. Be humble and mention colleagues and friends if they really fit the topic, but not to impress others. NOT FOLLOWING UP AFTER A TALK. Exchange business cards or suggest to connect over LinkedIn. The biggest mistake in networking is having a great conversation without any possibility to connect afterwards.

If you keep these simple tricks and tips in mind, you are good to go for every networking event. You might not only find good company but also make business deals without knowing it. 11

crucial soft skills The decision to become a better team member and leader is a personal one. If you often find yourself feeling not ready for a presentation, a job interview, or even a date, have a look at some important life skills below. by Alexandros Kilmpasanis

1. Communication skills

2. Writing skills

Giving a presentation. Talking to clients. Explaining a concept in simple terms. It is all about communication. Looking for improvement in these areas? Watch more videos of great public speakers like Arianna Huffington or Steve Jobs. TED talks are a good place to start. Learn from how the best share their knowledge. Once inspired, practice how you express your own thoughts more clearly in speech and in writing.

Writing is not only important for journalists and marketers. All professionals have to send clear and effective emails every day, whether they are simple instructions for XY, or an idea to their boss.

Like all forms of communication, keeping your target audience in mind is key. Apart from that, the first step to writing better is through reading more quality material. Read more newspaper articles about industry-related topics. Read more fiction and non-fiction in the language you will need to communicate in. You can never read enough.

3. Understanding

4. Self-confidence

Being knowledgeable in your area of expertise is necessary in order to have good ideas and solve problems. Great ideas though, come from a place of acceptance and collaboration. Encourage the sharing of better ideas in your team.

If you put all these skills together, you should make a pretty good leader, right? They undoubtedly help, but real leaders also have to have self-confidence. They have to know what they stand for, so they can learn to give strategic no’s.

Next time you find yourself in a team project, assume you have no ideas of your own. Ask your team members what they think about a certain problem and don’t take anything for granted. Bonus tip: Ask more “why” questions to your family, friends and professors. Don’t interrupt them. Just listen with an open mind. If the situation allows it, confirm your own understanding of their situation by making a small summary of their thoughts.

5. Urge to learn What applies to studying and learning new software applies to soft skills too. You can never stop practising. Like maintaining a healthy lifestyle, there is no finish line. Every small improvement helps. Let your own experiences define your values. Read, listen, watch and think. A lot of business mentors also suggest self-reflection at the end of the day or the week. Don’t be too hard on yourself. Make notes of what you can do better and never lose your courage.

No one said it’s easy. Becoming better at anything requires discipline. But it’s possible!

When you are on the phone, all you have is your voice to communicate. This makes it harder for you to convey nuance and be understood. For instance, if you make a little joke that you normally convey with a smile it may be hard for the listener to get it and ultimately laugh with you. But do not be scared, if you keep these five tips in mind you will master every phone interview. by Greg Wells

Even though the actual percentage is discussable, research shows that that half of communication is non-verbal, meaning without actual words being spoken. Experienced travelers that found themselves in the position of describing their needs with wild gestures instead of the local language know how nonverbal communication can save your day (and get you a good night sleep if you’ve been on the hunt for a hotel room).

1. Keep calm!

2. Surroundings

The person on the other end of the phone understands that this is not the full you. It is rare to get a job without a meeting in person. The phone interview is a first screen. Plus, they must already be interested, or they wouldn’t have asked for it! Remain calm or even admit your excitement from start. Be human!

Find a quiet place to take the call. Distractions will not help you and excess background noise will make it hard for the interviewer to hear you. Try and test the technology involved first so you are sure you have good connection (if it’s a Skype, WhatsApp or Hangout call) or reception. Make sure you have no roommates, girlor boyfriends, colleagues or animals

disturbing you. No-one can concentrate with barking, talking or screaming in the background.

4. Practice, practice, practice!

3. Use the tools you have

Call your mom, your dad, your aunt, your grandma. Call someone, and ask them to do a fake interview with you. If you do your research you can often find sample questions online, if not for the specific company and role, than maybe just general questions that will help you be more comfortable on the phone.

When you are on the phone you do have control over a few things: intonation of your voice, volume of your voice, and the speed that you talk. Don’t “up-talk” meaning ending every sentence with an upward inflection. This makes it sound like you are asking a question. Do change the intonation in your voice as you speak, to keep them interested. Do vary your volume; try making main points softly, rather than loudly. Do speak slowly, but use speed at times to keep attention.

5. Try to convey your personality The interviewer is interested in getting answers to their questions, but often they just want to see if you are likeable. If you are genuine and thoughtful you are going to be fine!

The most important thing to keep in mind is that you should be confident without being cocky. If you practice and are thoughtful about what to expect, then the interview will be easy and you will be one step further in finding the career that fits you.

ecruiters! Hear it from the r pplications a r u o y e v o r p im o t Tips & insights What do you do when a group of recruiters gather together? You ask them questions! We surveyed last year’s Blind Applying employers on what makes for a good application and interview. What can you start practicing right away?

Job Ads: know which jobs to apply for Read the job requirements carefully! Decide yourself whether you are a good fit for a job or not. If you find a job title that you like, refer to similar positions elsewhere and find out more about their requirements Not all requirements are “required”! Focus on the skills labeled “mandatory” or “obligatory”. Other skills can be learned later on. Check out any employee testimonials on the company’s website to get an impression about the company’s culture and values 16

ann by Laura Geitm

Cover letter: Don’t just re-write your CV Align your career objectives with the position and the company Be specific to the position. Refer to the job ad and explain why your skills and experience match with the company’s No more than three short paragraphs

CV: Pass the 6-second test Remember the skills needed for the job? Recruiters can understand at a glance whether a candidate is relevant for the job or not. The first impression comes from the layout of the CV. Make your application easy to read with the relevant information easy to find Use one decent color and font (Verdana, Tahoma, or Georgia) Bold when appropriate and keep your style consistent Title your sections clearly Align your bullets and paragraphs Proof-read your application! Most recruiters look at the employment section first, followed by the education section. Make sure that these two sections are the easiest to find and read through. Write a few lines about your working experience and educational background Include relevant tasks and achievements Avoid listing unnecessary skills (basic language skills, old certificates)

Interviewing: “What do you want the recruiter to remember about you?” Be clear about your skills and goals and show why you are the perfect fit for the job. Be prepared: Do your research Read about the company’s products, culture and latest news. Prepare examples to prove your claims. Review the relevant skills you stated in your application. Prepare good examples to prove your message. Practice common interview questions with a friend! Go for answers with good structure that the value you can offer from day one. Ask questions Show that you did your research! Ask about the position, work environment or the next steps in the application process. Be a good listener and avoid asking questions that were already answered. Be on time!

Follow-up After the interview, write a short email to thank the recruiter for their time and to briefly go over the main points from the interview. If a recruiter does not get back to you in the agreed time, don’t hesitate to send a friendly reminder. No need to be more persistent than that.

Did you get an offer? Congratulations! What if you need to deny it? Do it constructively: Be grateful for the opportunity Provide a good reason for your decision Ask to stay in touch over LinkedIn. Leaving a good impression with the recruiter can help a lot for future opportunities Be polite and professional. Always!

Is that it? We wish! When looking for a job, good preparation is key, but it still doesn’t give you a contract to sign. Rejections for jobs are never (or very rarely) personal and submitting the perfect application is only one factor. If there is someone else who fits an employer's expectations better, there's little you can do about it. What can you do though? Define your goal and get out there! Acquire the skills your dream job needs and look for opportunities to practice them. Talk to people in your desired field and see what they have problems with. Beyoncé would call it “hustling”. We call it “career advice”.

Feeling inspired? Use the tips above and apply on www.blindapplying.com. A new, surprising group of employers and exciting internship opportunities around the world await! Applications open Oct. 26th.

Any internship can give you a line to put on your CV. An internship abroad though, helps you develop all those communication skills that are so necessary in life and in work. If you have the chance to accept an internship abroad, do it! And here’s why. by Alexandros Kilmpasanis

You get experience in a diverse team

You learn from other people’s behaviours

Different teams use different tools and are organized in a different way. Become a member of your new team by learning to adapt to their style. You will discover you are more flexible than you think.

By going and working abroad, you will meet a lot of people. By meeting a lot of people from other cultures, you will see that they will not always behave the way you would expect or prefer. Learn the reason for their behaviours.

You might get to practice You become more a foreign language understanding You can study a language all you want, but being required to speak it is the best practice. If you end up in a country where you don’t speak the local language, and you are not a native speaker, English means survival. 64

By meeting a lot of people you also see all the small things that make us different, but also similar. You will see that everyone makes different choices than you and that’s totally fine.

You get pretty good at planning

You prove to yourself that you can make it

Preparing a CV, a cover letter and getting through the interview is not enough. There’s also... tickets, visas, passports, housing, luggage, budgeting, learning the streets in a new city. Chances are you will manage just fine and you will learn how to take future needs into account.

Living abroad is no easy task. What will you realise once you’ve done it? That you still succeeded, despite it not being easy. Feel proud!

You make new friends When you end up landing alone in a foreign country. You will be forced to meet people and make friends to help you around. If you thought you were too scared to do that, you will realize that it’s not as hard. Being kind is appreciated globally.

You try out all these great dishes You might miss your favourite dishes from home. You will for sure discover new ones! You can learn a lot about a culture by the kinds of spices and side-dishes they add to their meals.

You leave old worries behind What looked big and tough will look small upon your return after an adventure abroad. The world is much bigger than we think. There is so much to see and feel, we can’t waste time on worrying about the small things.

You learn that life doesn’t stop for anyone People who return home after some time abroad, often feel like not much has changed. They have had a crazy time and everything else seems stuck in the past. That reminds you the 2 or more months you spent in a foreign land is a significant amount of time. You can learn so much during that time by simply motivating yourself to look for such experiences.
