Add an Additional Language Experience to Your Resume
Add an Additional Language Experience to Your ResumeIf you've just finished a five-year language program and you're looking for employment, you may be wondering if you can add an additional language experience to your resume. There are many reasons why it is beneficial, so take a look at these. You may find that some of the reasons you haven't included it before could actually help you with your job search.First, think about the number of extra languages you have used. The number may seem large, but when you look at the total number of years you've spent in school, you'll see that there is no way you can possibly have learned everything from one language. The real numbers will probably not turn out to be as high as you would like them to be, but the point is that you may not have spent enough time in the classroom to include a language experience on your resume. So make sure that the extra languages you've used do show up on your resume.Second, you'll find that languages with multipl e meanings often allow for more than one writing experience on your resume. Sometimes you'll need to write a statement, while others you will be required to write a letter or have to write in two or more languages. When you have the additional experience under each of these types of workloads, you may find that the ability to write in multiple languages come across very clearly on your resume.Third, your job interviewers or hiring managers will most likely check the list of language experiences on your resume. Once they get to that point, they'll quickly notice that you don't meet their requirements. So if you don't include it on your resume, they can easily decide whether or not you're qualified for the position.Fourth, if you use an English version of your language experience on your resume, then you will have to take care to make sure that it is readable. Sometimes there is a tendency for employers to focus on the writing experience in their own language, rather than looking at w hat the writing is saying. If you don't want to alienate your potential employer with a poorly written English experience, include it in English.Fifth, the language experience may seem small, but think about the rest of your resume. If it is possible, include it on your resume along with any awards or honors you've earned, along with any certifications you have. In other words, it's best to put it on your resume as a line of demarcation between you and your competitors. So it's good to create a strong writing experience, but make sure that it has everything to contribute to your professional success.Finally, if you have this language experience on your resume, make sure that it shows up. You may need to emphasize it in order to make the impression of your strong writing skills. This may mean that you have to spend some extra time writing the English version of your experience.

How Much Doctors Make in 2016
How Much Doctors Make in 2016 We all know doctors make a decent livingâ€"but new numbers shine a spotlight on exactly how much money your physician is taking home (hint: it’s a ton). Over 19,200 physicians in over 26 specialties responded to Medscape’s annual compensation inquiry, detailing how much they make, how many hours they work per week, the most rewarding parts of their job, and more. The website combined salary, bonus, and profit-sharing contributions. Here’s how they stack up: Phyisican Specialties Average Compensation Orthopedics $443,000 Cardiology $410,000 Dermatology $381,000 Gastroenterology $380,000 Radiology $375,000 Urology $367,000 Anesthesiology $360,000 Plastic Surgery $355,000 Oncology $329,000 General Surgery $322,000 Emergency Medicine $322,000 Ophthalmology $309,000 Critical Care $306,000 Pulmonary Medicine $281,000 Ob/Gyn $277,000 Nephrology $273,000 Pathology $266,000 Neurology $241,000 Rheumatology $234,000 Psychiatry $226,000 Internal Medicine $222,000 Allergy $222,000 HIV/ID $215,000 Family Medicine $207,000 Endocrinology $206,000 Pediatrics $204,000 Pediatricians, who receive the least compensation of any doctor on the list, make over $200,000â€"putting them in the top 5% of earners in the U.S. The site notes that orthopedists and cardiologists were numbers one and two in 2015 as well, with compensations of $421,000 and $376,000, respectively. Aside from pathologists and plastic surgeons, who saw no change in compensation, and allergists and pulmonologists, who saw a decrease, all other physicians were better compensated this year compared to 2015. Doctors in the Southeast and North Central (which includes the Dakotas, Nebraska, Iowa, and Missouri) take home the most money on average. One depressing note: Female physicians make significantly less than their male counterparts, whether they are primary care physicians or specialists. Medscape does note, however, that women’s earnings increased more in the last four years than men’s did. Overall, though, female physicians make 24% less than men. (And all of the earnings are for full-time positions.) Interestingly, there are significantly more female physicians in pediatrics than men, which is the least compensated specialty. Does mid-six figures sound appealing? You’re in luck: Healthcare is adding the most jobs of any other industry.

9 Ways To Tune Out Office Distractions - Work It Daily
9 Ways To Tune Out Office Distractions - Work It Daily Office distractions are all around us. And they are getting increasingly more difficult to tune out. There are so many ways our boss, customers and teammates can reach us to break our focus, it makes it challenging to get things done. Related: 7 Ways To Stay Productive At Work Maybe this is why we are all so very busy each and every day. It makes it challenging to get anything done. You get emails, texts, phone calls all day long for so many different people. There are countless meetings on the schedule, so much so that when you are done with calls and meetings it seems you have two hours to get eight hours of work done and mathematically, that just isn’t going to work. Despite all of the demands and distractions, there are ways to tune them out when you have to get something done. They are not easy and some of them are not for the faint of heart (#1), but I can attest, that these do work. When emails and browsers and phones are on, I get less done. When I am not thoughtful about my plan for the week, I am less focused and productive and when I spend too much time chit-chatting with my boss, clients, or co-workers, I am sure to not meet my missions for the week. When I am on deadline with something, I am more rigid with this list. When I have more free time, I am less rigid. It’s not perfect, but I can tell you that it works. The first three usually make people shudder (especially the people on my team with two monitors!). But nonetheless, it is important to know what you can do to tune out some of those pesky office distractions. And by the way, it is not rude to have your door closed… Just sayin'.
