This is how much your parents jobs determine your future career

This is how much yur parents jobs determine your future careerThis is how much your parents jobs determine your future careerYou inherit more than your parents values - what your parents do for a living can make it more than 400 times more likely that you will inherit their career and follow in their footsteps, a New York Times analysis of decades of General Social Surveydata found.There were certain parental professions that had a stronger pull than others. Legislators, lawyers, military officers, bakers, and doctors were among the top jobs children were most likely to inherit. Sons were 20 times as likely to become a scientist if their mother was one. If your father is a fisherman, you are 362 times as likely to grow up to be a fisherwoman if youre his daughter.The effect of parentsMothers had just as strong an influence as fathers when it came to their childrens futures, the study found.Overall, sons were 2.7 times as likely to do their fathers job and twice as likely to do their mothers job, while daughterswere 1.8 times as likely to have the same job as their mothers and 1.7 times as likely to have the same job as their fathers.Beyond the built-in connections and contacts you get if you follow your parents careers, the Times analysis argued that children pursue their parents careers because of the breakfast-table effect We grow up learning how our parents do their jobs in our homes as we see them return from work and discuss it with us. They give us the language to see their career as attainable before weve even started it.If you can see the path before you, its much easier for you to follow it.Unemployment can be generational, tooInheriting our parents thoughts about work can backfire, however. Children of unemployed parents were more likely to grow up with no idea about what they wanted to do with their careers, the study found.Of course, your parents occupation is one determining career factor among many. Children can rebel against their parents chosen path of doctor, lawyer, or teacher and live out life as a farmer, artist, or vagabond. But as this survey reminds us, our parents have an outsized impact on our life and can set the course of our futures in unseen ways only felt years later.

5 Keys to Building a Fulfilling Career in Data Science5 Keys to Building a Fulfilling Career in Data Science Data science has been sitting pretty for the past few years. The rapidly growing field has been referred to as the sexiest job of the 21st century , and demand is higher than ever for qualified data scientists and advanced analysts.Recent findings from IBM predict that the need for data scientists will increase 28 percent by 2020, with nearly 3 million job openings for data professionals.

At Facebook, you can only ask out your coworker once

At Facebook, you can only ask out your coworker onceAt Facebook, you can only ask out your coworker onceAt certain companies, there are hard rules to dating your coworker.A new Wall Street Journal report found that at Facebook, dating employees is treated with a one-and-done strike policy employees are only allowed to ask a coworker out once. If the coworker is not interested, the other coworker must move on and cannot ask them out again.And Facebook is defining a dating rejection broadly. According to Heidi Swartz, Facebooks global head of employment law, ambivalent nos likeIm busy or I cant that night, count as an answer.Google confirmed to the Journal that the company has had a similar dating policy since 2004. In a follow-up interview with Gizmodo, Google clarified that it does not have the strict one-and-done policy that Facebook has and employees are not restricted in how many times they can ask out a coworker. But according to Googles code of conduct, if your romantic relation ship with a coworker causes an actual or apparent conflict, you could risk termination.WSJ Facebook and Google have love contracts for employeesThe report follows more companies grappling with how to handle workplace harassment, a topic that has gained national awareness this fall. Explicit company policies, or love contracts as some human resources professionals call them, give employees clarity on how they should behave at work.Through this lens, it makes sense that Facebook and Google have explicit office romance policies since Silicon Valley is known for blurring the lines between work and play. Bloomberg reported that Yelp has a keg refrigerator and Twitter stocks wine and beer in its office fridges. When coworkers hang out and drink together at work, the lines between a colleague and potential romantic partner can get harder to read.The tricky challenge HR professionals face is providing clarity without policing unnecessary behavior. You want to treat your employees like adult s while not enabling a culture of workplace harassment. How can employers enforce this policy when flirtation can already be ambiguous?Thats the question one ex-Google employee had. I didnt know if people were asking me out or not, ex-Googler Anna Wood told the Journal about incidents where happy hour drinks with coworkers turned out to mean something more.

Why interning in my mid-40s was an invaluable career move

Why fr siching in my mid-40s welches an invaluable career moveWhy interning in my mid-40s welches an invaluable career movepro domoships arent only for college students and recent grads. The fact is that many people of all ages and experience take internships or even entry-level positions for a myriad of reasons. Many of them are changing careers or are simply looking to dabble in something new - something in which theyve always been interested.If one could financially afford it, taking an internship or an entry-level job is not necessarily a bad idea. Here are six women whove done it at different times in their lives, and their honest advice to those considering it.1. It could kickstart your careerI was 26 when I landed my first internship, as a UX/UIdesign intern at a development agency - it was a fantastic learning experience and a great way to get my foot in the door in a very competitive industry, says Rachel Carroll, the senior head of user experience at Studysoup. Being an i ntern can be very challenging at any age, particularly so if you choose to intern later in life. Internships consist of working long and hard hours, meeting difficult expectations with little to no pay, and often many sacrifices must be made. Being able to intern without having to carry a financial burden was a luxury that fruchtwein do not have later in life, and this can make pursuing an internship exceptionally challenging.The internships I pursued, although they were extremely challenging, were the starting point to my career, and I will always be thankful. I would always encourage anyone interested in gaining experience in a new career to intern if they are financially able to do so. I would also encourage it even if it may seem impossible to pursue. Often times the most challenging part of beginning a new career is the beginning itself.2. Be aware that it might help and hurt youI decided to take an internship in human resources at the corporate headquarters for a large interna tional company, says Nikki Larchar, SHRM-CP. I was 28 years old. The job entailed a lot of entry-level tasks like inputting data, faxing, organizing their large file cabinet, etc. All the things one can imagine an intern would be responsible for.Pros I was able to gain experience at a large firm, where all of my previous experience was at a small business level. I gained many connections within the organization while I was there for three months. I was provided the opportunity for full-time employment at the end of my internship. I learned how to corporate HR departments function.Cons I didnt gain any tangible skills. They offered me an entry-level position at the company, which I was overqualified for. I was also overqualified for the internship as I already had years of experience in human resources. Ultimately, they could not match the salary amount that I was previously at with the entry-level position.I would both encourage and discourage. I would encourage those that are looki ng to go into a new field to try out an internship position. Its a great way to get your foot in the door, learn new skills, show the organization how amazing you are and network with people within the industry you are hoping to get into. I would discourage individuals from accepting an internship in a field where they already have experience. Following the internship, during the interview process, I had to remind the interviewers that I had previous experience before the internship. It felt as though I had to keep stating that I had work experience outside of the internship and that I was at a level higher than intern or entry-level. Who knows how many of my applications or resume submissions never made it to the next round in the recruiting process simply because I had the title intern as my most recent position.3. Internships provide a lot of valueI changed careers when I was in my late 40s, says Laura MacLeod, HR expert, consultant, and therapist. I had a relatively successful c areer as a professional actress, but roles were scarce and I wanted/needed to find something else. I went back to school in New York City to get a Masters in social work (MSW) - the program included an unpaid internship for two years. Year one internship at supported housing/residence for mentally ill. Year two internship in a high-needs high school. Both experiences were invaluable for a few reasons.1. I had no experience in these settings or in the role of social worker/counselor. As an intern, that was fine - clearly the expectation. No pressure to prove myself. 2. Learning by doing is the norm. Mistakes will happen and the on-the-job experience shows you the real world right away. 3. Networking, professional behavior - these were things I knew I could bring to the internship. They helped me get the most out of the experience. Not being 22 was an asset. I had no problem fitting into the culture and using my people skills to excel and connect.4. An internship can be the right s tep forwardI am 34, and I will be starting an internship in two weeks at a PR firm and, looking at the photos of the other interns, I feel like Robert DeNiro - like I will be the Intern Mother, says Jordanna Stephen. I felt like it was something I owed to myself. While in college, I had a very brief PR intern experience at a very well-known PR firm. But after that, I didnt gain any more experience in my field. I was pretty much self-taught, with the exception of the basics I learned in college. I took other jobs and, at the age of 34, I want to re-enter the PR world, and cant do it without the current know-how.My dad always said, You have to pay your dues, and when the opportunity presented itself, I just thought, If not now, then when? I start in two weeks and I am nervscited (nervous + excited), but, if I want to move forward, I have to take a brief step back. I get hands-on learning experience from experienced PoweR women who are genuinely interested in my development, regardles s of age. I get to meet other young women who I would probably never get a chance to connect with.Cons include feelings of inadequacy, having to learn or re-learn things, taking a dip in salary and being the oldest intern there. But I would totally encourage someone to do it. You should always go for your dreams no matter the age. And you never know how your example might encourage someone else to step outside of their comfort zone. Theres a quote Great things never came from inside your comfort zone. And its true. We could always learn more and there is nothing shameful really about being an older intern or taking an entry-level position. It just shows determination and drive. And, even in failure (as in if you didnt like it or it just didnt work out), there is success because now you know.5. Internships are new opportunities, and they dont have to be for the long haulAfter shuttering a business I founded and ran for 20 years in Atlanta, it was necessary that I downsize from two ho uses in Georgia and move to an apartment in Arlington, Virginia, where my husband had started a business, says Patty Lundy, writer and editor. I was at a loss as to the path I needed to follow to find my new life. I made friends easily and enjoyed most of the networking, but I did not find a good place to land. I picked up the occasional gig developing content for clients websites or corporate stories, but it was slow going. I needed more.Cleaning up my desk one day, I ran across a recruiters business card, got on the website, and nonchalantly entered writer into the positions available search tab. Voila Recruiter called in 20 minutes, Three days later, I met with the recruiter, was fully vetted in a couple of days, then met with the employer and, within a week of my first inquiry, was offered and accepted a six-month gig with Navy Federal Credit Union. It was a complete 180 from what I had ever known. I was 60 I had been my own anfhrer for 30 years. The work was way beneath my abil ities (writing email and text messaging, brochure copy, and other marketing communications), but it was a wonderful experience.I could not see myself transitioning to full-time job, so when the offer was made to shift to real employee status, I bolted out the door. Happy to be free, but happy to have gone through the experience. Pros were meeting so many interesting people (some interesting in a wonderful way, some interesting in an awful way), experiencing first-hand how large organizations with lots of teams work together, having a well-defined set of tasks every day and carrying out what was required, being paid every two weeks, making a couple of friends I will have for life, and knowing that at the ripe old age of 60, I was leise employable.I would encourage anyone to explore options offered. Even if the work is not precisely what the job seeker is capable of, and even if the environment isnt a good fit for the long haul, people should always be open to new experiences. One nev er knows what might result from being exposed to opportunities that arise in unusual places. That said, however, there is the lost opportunity cost that one must consider while theyre engaged in something thats beneath their abilities. What else could I and should I be doing with my time to deliver me to someplace more suited to my abilities? is a common refrain.6. An internship could lead to something greaterAfter 16 years in the Air Force (eight years on active duty and eight years in the Air Force Reserves), and even with a Masters degree, I had a hard time finding a full-time job when my husband and I moved to Georgia, says Carol Gee, Author Atlanta. While I had held adjunct faculty positions at a couple colleges and several temp positions, interviews for full-time positions didnt pan out. One day a woman at my temp job at a college approached me. She was the secretary in the development department (fundraising) at the school she was leaving to accept an out-of-state job and tho ught for a number of reasons her boss and I would be a good match. Although over-qualified according to HR, my goal was to get my foot in the door and advance. I was 39 years old at the time. And 14 months later, I applied for a higher position (my supervisor had also been promoted and moved to another position) and got it. Six years ago, I retired from the college after close to 22 years there and a number of professional positions. So, yes, I would recommend an internship or entry-level position if your interest or personal goals are met.AnnaMarie Houlis is a multimedia journalist and an adventure aficionado with a keen cultural curiosity and an affinity for solotravel.

Survey 61 Percent of Workers Believe Job Hopping Damages Career Advancement

Survey 61 Percent of Workers Believe Job Hopping Damages Career Advancement According to the 2014 Emerging Workforce Study, workers perceive job hopping as damaging to a persons career success and believe being loyal to one employer pays off in the long run. The study of more than 2,000 U.S. workers, which was conducted by Harris Poll on behalf of Spherion Staffing Services, showed that 61 percent of respondents feel that changing jobs every few years is usually damaging to a persons long-term career advancement. The survey results also showed that 63 percent of workers agreed that long-term career advancement depends on staying with an employer for a long time. The results from our Emerging Workforce Study speak to how the economy has changed the workplace, said Spherion Division President Sandy Mazur. Before the recession, it wasnt uncommon to see workers dedicate years of tafelgeschirr to one e mployer. However, during the recession, workers defined their loyalty to their company as the contributions that they made to their workplace, which in turn, helped them market themselves and their experience when job security was uncertain and massive layoffs occurred. Now, as the economy rebounds, workers have had a taste of job stability, and they like it.Survey highlights include70 percent of workers agreed that their level of commitment to their employer depends on the likelihood of long-term job security, which is the highest percentage in the surveys 15 years.83 percent of workers agreed that loyalty is being willing to stay with an employer for a long haul, while 62 percent felt loyalty is not related to how long you stay with one employer, but to how big a contribution you are currently making.79 percent of workers said they believe employers should take more responsibility in creating a defined career path for their employees.
