KEY STEPS

TO DEFINE YOUR CAREER GOAL

By Julia L Carter Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/7078827

How are you feeling about your job just now? Bursting with enthusiasm? Super motivated? Fed up?

Exasperated? Unfulfilled? The chances are if you’re reading this, then you are rather less than satisfied.

It happens to us all after spending several years in the same company, same role, same department, we get itchy feet. And if you are in an organisation where there aren’t many opportunities to learn new things and to develop, then here are 10 Key Steps to follow which will help you define your career goal:

6. SET BOUNDARIES Be clear about the types of work, places of work etc you don’t want and also the areas where you are prepared to compromise

1. DESIGN YOUR IDEAL JOB Role, responsibility, salary, hours of work, place of work, team/individual, international travel etc

8. IDENTIFY OPPORTUNITIES in your current workplace to find such an opening This may not be in your current department or at your current level. Ask questions to find out where these opportunities exist and do some networking to get connected and get some ideas from others

2. ANALYSE YOUR CAREER STRENGTHS The things you are really good at and the skills you posses which make a difference to your organisation 3. NOTE DOWN YOUR POSITIVE QUALITIES The things about yourself of which you are particularly proud 4. LIST YOUR MAJOR EXPERIENCES By writing down all the jobs, voluntary and unpaid posts you’ve had (like parent), you’ll enrich your profile and maybe identify transferable skills 5. REAFFIRM YOUR VALUES Be clear what’s important to you in life as this will steer you to the companies which share those values

7. WHEN YOU HAVE ALL THE ABOVE INFORMATION, put it together into a profile of you and the opportunity you’re looking for You can use this as a comprehensive document which is the basis of your search

9. IDENTIFY OPPORTUNITIES in the wider job market for such an opening Even if you don’t really want to leave your firm just yet, have a look around and see where you might find your ideal job in another company or sector 10. YOU NOW HAVE AN INSPIRING GOAL but you need to know how to achieve it. Devise an action plan for 8 and/or 9 This depends on whether you only want to pursue opportunities within your current company and/or look elsewhere. Whichever you choose, you need a detailed strategy to get to the ideal job.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE

RIGHT COLOUR TEMPERATURE FOR OFFICE OR CLASSROOM LIGHTS

Right emission characteristics of a white light source are often expressed by a “color temperature” and is measured in K (Kelvin). If you have been exposed to indoor or studio photography you will know that a 5000K lamp will get you close to natural daylight.

Office and a classroom environment often have similarities as they are places where a lot of reading and evaluation of physical items are required. It has been proven that light sources nearer to daylight give higher contrast on printed matter and therefore make it easier to read longer with less fatigue.

Many organizations arbitrarily chose 4100K because a bright white fluorescent tube has about that color temperature, this has to do with the phosphors that convert UV light from the gas discharge tube into visible light and happens to be that 4100K producing phosphors are the lowest cost to produce for the fluorescent tube manufacturers, it also helps GE and others to create a specification that produces sort of dirty white light and is outside the real daylight spectrum.

Some lighting engineers go so far as to say that daylight is acceptable lighting but if a light can produce daylight it is not acceptable as it is more than 4100K - well a child could tell you that is plain wrong.

There is however a reason for standardizing on a color temperature and that is consistent look! If more than one fixture is in an area and there were different color temperatures in use it will look inconsistent both looking at the lights and on the illuminated target area.

Therefore it is more appropriate to apply the rule that if you are changing technologies you should do this for the whole area. Also mixing 4100K LED and 4100K fluorescent is not going to work well as the LED lights will remain at that color temperature for a long time while the fluorescents will change their color temperature significantly with use.

LED phosphors generally perform better at 5000K and today’s 5000..5200K LED packages have very

well balanced color spectrums making them appear almost like daylight, a good light for almost any task.

My best suggestions are to use the following color temperatures in their respective applications:

• Office, Warehouse, Classroom: 5000..5200K • Board Room: 5000 to 5200K • Conference Room: 5000 to 5200K • Food Sections, Fish and Packaged Items: 2700 to 3500K • Red Meat Food Sections: 2700K • Public Restrooms: 5000 to 5200K • Personal Bathrooms & Showers: 3500K • Retail Clothing: 3500K • Retail Tires: 5000 to 5200K • Retail Shoes: 5000 to 5200K • Cold Storage: 5000 to 5200K • Manufacturing: 5000K to 5200K Color temperature is one of preference and nothing that should be legislated. There are some human facts as to how the eye perceives an illuminated object, we humans have an automatic white balance and if exposed long enough to a particular color temperature light a red-ish, blue-ish or green-ish white paper will look white to us. So rather than getting fixated that one color temperature is better than another make sure you do not mix them in the same area.

Of course, if you have a larger organisation more rigid guidance may be required. If you are retrofitting or building new office or classroom environments, you may want to consider making your new LED fixture requirement 5000K +/- 5% but specify close deviation tolerances +/- 2% within an area.

WHAT TO

EXPECT FIRST

ON YOUR DAY AT WORK By: Katrina Millar - Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/7282026

One of the best days of your life is probably that day when you received a call telling you that you got the job. Snagging a job is a wonderful feeling. It makes you feel blessed and happy to have gotten what you really wanted.

But what should you expect on your first day on the job? What are some things that you need to do? Below are a few tips.

1. You will most likely be greeted by your boss and then taken around for a round of introductions. Also, a staff will probably be assigned to show you around the place and how some things work there. Because this is your first chance to meet your coworkers, make sure that you give a nice introduction and a smile to go with it. You are not expected to remember everyone’s names so don’t worry too much if you forget their names the second the conversation ends.

2. You will be given information on what tasks you will be assigned to at work. They will also be giving you directions and instructions regarding medicine administration, paperwork, dress code, and the like 3. You are expected to understand the hospital rules and regulations. If you have already worked in the healthcare or medical field before and have earned a nursing bridge program degree, like the paramedic to RN

degree, you probably know what the rules are going to be like.

4. For proper identification, you will most likely be taking a photo for your ID. So, make sure that you look presentable on your first day.

5. You may have to listen to a lot of information on your first day. Remember the info and details as much as you can. Make notes of your tasks so you won’t forget your priority tasks.

6. Familiarize yourself with the place. Know where the toilets are, the supply room, the patient rooms, etc.

7. If you have any questions, be sure to ask your boss. It’s better to ask than to be left at a loss.

8. Learn more about your job and your workplace by observation. Listen well and open your eyes. If it’s your first job ever, make sure that you learn by watching how something is done in your facility.

9. Be professional. Follow the rules and regulations. Do not listen to gossips and stay away from drama queens. Observe good manners and right conduct at all times.
