The idea of being courted by a company across the country from where you live might seem romantic. They fly you out to the interview, they wine you, they dine you, and ultimately they pay for you to move, right? Wrong. In fact, most job offers for cross country moves are less than glamorous. There are many reasons for relocation, but the vast majority of them are just plain stressful – a company moving its headquarters, being relocated due to a layoff or massive company change, moving because of family issues or illnesses – and the list goes on.

Even if you are one of the lucky few who pursues relocation for a job, gets the job, and the company pays for your move, you’re still going to have to deal with packing, moving, making new friends, and much, much more stress than you’ve even contemplated. Now, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t relocate.  It can also be phenomenally rewarding and exciting to find a new job, a new city, and a new adventure in your life. Here’s the truth about relocation.

Don’t Move Without Thinking About These Important Things

• Moving costs money. Big money! Add it all up, and you might get overwhelmed, but it’s an important task to take on. Packing supplies, movers in the city you live, a truck to drive across the country, movers in the new city, new furniture if you need it, cleaners for your old apartment, and much more. All of these “small” expenditures begin to add up to what can be incredibly expensive overall moves.
• Signing bonuses are taxed at a higher rate than regular salary. If you’re lucky to get your relocation covered by your company, those costs will often not be reimbursable, but instead will be paid to you in the form of a signing bonus. Make sure you take into consideration the hefty taxes that will be levied on you for that check, and take into consideration that lower budget when planning your move.
• Friendships don’t cross the country with you. Sure, you’ve seen your BFF for dinner every week for the last three years, so it’s natural to think your dinner will turn into weekly phone calls where you’ll continue to catch up and be BFFs. Unfortunately, this just isn’t true. Friendships continue, and you’ll need to find new ways to interact, but they’ll never be as close as they are when you’re in the same city. Be prepared for a time period after your move where you’re struggling with finding friends and keeping friendships fresh back home.
• Don’t jump too fast into a neighborhood permanently. If you’re moving to a large city, you might be tempted to buy a condo immediately to save on rent. Or, if you’re a suburban gal, that picket fence might be calling your name. Even if you’re a real estate expert, though, don’t buy right away. Spend at least a year renting to make sure you’re 100% certain of the neighborhood or suburb you’ve decided to put down roots in.
• Factor in COBRA and other health care expenses. Many large companies are now implementing 2-3 month waiting periods before you’re able to join their health plans. This could mean that you’re going to need to pay COBRA expenses from your past health plan for those months, which could run up to $1,000 per month. Take those expenses into consideration when you budget your move.

These, and many other factors contribute to the decision to relocate for a job. It’s important to analyze your options when making a decision so big. Ultimately, by planning ahead, you’ll have a much more successful move if you do decide to take the job.

She’s right.
When you try and figure out what you are passionate about, sometimes you get in your own way.  Doubts, fears, questions, frustrations start to enter into your mind.  The “maybe I don’t have a life purpose” doubt creeps in and settles in one corner.  The “I’ll never figure this out. Blergh!” doubt settles into the kitchen.  The “I’m not good enough to find this” thought builds a space on the floor.

And soon enough, you are living in one corner of your mind underneath 100 old newspapers trying to justify why you need all 50 cats.  Underneath it all, you just feel STUCK.
Have you ever felt like this?

If you have, you are SO not alone! I think, at one time or another, most of us feel this way and get incredibly stressed.  The whole “I’m smart, I should effing be able to get this!” mantra comes into your head and drives you straight into the welcoming arms of Ben and Jerry’s.  Or whatever your poison .

So let me take the pressure off.  First off – take a breath and say this: “I’ll get there eventually. Things will work out.”  Secondly, ask yourself this question:
If you could do anything right now as a job, what would you do? No boundaries at all!

Seriously. Anything!

Ok, when I asked myself this question years ago the first thought that popped into my head was “I want to be a judge on America’s Next Top Model.” Now, I have to admit to shamefacedly watching that show for like the first 12 cycles before Tyra’s craziness drove me away. But for awhile, when I was consulting, it seemed like a total dream! I could travel, coach people, be insane, and have a ton of variety in my day-to-day life (plus, professional make up team!).  It was one of those crazy, throw away statements that I ignored for awhile.

That was my mistake. Instead of ignoring it, I want you to take your crazy idea and dig deep. WHY do you want to do that thing? What specifically (and generally) do you like about that job?

When I (finally!) picked apart my Top Model dream, I realized that what I wanted was freedom to travel, the ability to help/coach people, some glamour in my life, and fun.

I didn’t really want to be a judge, I just wanted certain things about that lifestyle.  And, as you can probably imagine, I’ve got it!

I get to travel (the first week in May I’m speaking at a conference on a cruise ship!), I get help people (my clients amaze me every day), I get to do glamorous things (I’m putting the finishing details on my upcoming Career on Fire retreat right now.  So far it involves photo shoots, Costa Rica, and lots of chocolate. Also, did I mention fire dancing? Watch this space!)

And I’m having fun doing it, which is really the most important thing.

So take a moment to revisit some of your more random dreams, and pick apart why you love them.  That is the first step to getting rid of the Hoarders mentality and taking a step to finding YOUR passion.  You can do it!

The post The #1 Question to Ask Yourself When Trying to Find YOUR Passion! appeared first on Career Girl Network.

As someone who worked in manufacturing for decades and thought he’d be able to retire in a few short years, my dad’s journey is like that of many others. After his shop closed operations locally, my dad jumped into career change head-first. Now in his mid-fifties, he’s in the midst of a total career overhaul that has involved professional networking for the first time, going to school, and learning how to manage people. The same is true of the Career Girl that inspires me—my step mom. She went back to school while caring for three kids alone after a tough divorce, became an RN, and is going for a Bachelor’s in her fifties. They have both told me to pursue my career goals sooner rather than later, but they are not afraid of starting something new at a time when people traditionally start thinking about winding down their careers. Unlike previous generations, there is a whole new breed of entrepreneurs and they’re not the spring chickens you might imagine.

PBS has a great article about tips for a group they call “Seniorpreneurs,” a catchy new term for seniors starting a business. Baby Boomer business owners have been a popular topic lately, and several sources point to seniors as one of the fastest growing demographics for entrepreneurship. It makes sense: seniors often have decades of phenomenal work experience, a fair amount of free time, no young children, and broad networks to help support them. It’s a recipe for startup success, and we can all learn from their experiences.

The PBS list certainly applies to younger Career Girls as well, and a few of the tips stand out as advice that should be taken to heart by everyone.

You Are Never Too Old to Start a Business. Remember the story about the 89-year-old grandma who used Kickstarter to get her cane-decorating business off the ground? It was a great story because it proved this point, but I know Career Girls in their thirties who think they’re too old to start a new career or new endeavor. That’s craziness, and if you don’t do it now, you’ll regret it later when you look back and realize you could have done something you enjoyed.

Build a Community of Positive Influences. Studies show that happy people are happy because they have hobbies and  good friends. Having a support system of successful and uplifting people gives you a way to seek advice and brainstorm ideas with others while picking up on what you can do to improve yourself. If you don’t already have friends like this, find them! Join a women’s group, be open about your struggles and your successes, and make sure to uplift others and celebrate their victories as well. You’ll never have to face obstacles alone if you actively engage your network and be a helping hand or a hug for others.

Go Back to Class. Many of us Career Girls already have a degree or education, but I think this speaks to everyone. No matter what the topic, I bet you can find a way to be a student of someone who can teach you more. Whether it’s hopping on the internet to find a community event with tips for fundraising, or going to a home improvement store to figure out how to put up drywall, never stop learning. Never!

An Internet Presence is a Must. I would say that most Career Girls don’t have a problem with this because we tend to be internet savvy and well-connected enough to have an internet presence, but that’s not always true. It’s surprising how many business owners haven’t really thought about their personal brand. Promoting your business is great, but you can be the face of your business and bring that gorgeous face of yours out into the community! Represent yourself and your business by recognizing that you need to have a personal brand, and then put it on the internet. Don’t worry—you don’t need to have every social media account ever, and you don’t have to friend the entire world on Facebook. You should have an “about” section on your business site with a pic of you and a little of your background, a LinkedIn page, and a professional Facebook or Twitter if you choose. Don’t know what to say in your “About Me” copy? Ask a friend for help. Outside perspectives are helpful.

The entire PBS article has valuable tips for entrepreneurs, and I encourage everyone to check it out. I’ll be keeping an eye seniorpreneurs and how the small business landscape changes as more mature business owners enter the small business sphere. I think the diverse backgrounds and varying levels of experience are going to add to the power and position of small business in the US economy.

The post What We Can Learn From Seniorpreneurs appeared first on Career Girl Network.

Mark Pincus, the CEO of Zynga (famed for Words with Friends, Farmville, and more) was profiled last weekend in The New York Times Magazine and said something that blew my mind:

If you want to be a great entrepreneur, you’re going to have to burn your résumé and stop worrying about your reputation, because you’re probably going to go through long periods of people calling you stupid.

If I’m being honest with you, my incredible and loyal Career Girl readers, I’ve often felt similarly to Mark. I’m sure many entrepreneurs do. By leaving a full time job and taking a massive risk in starting a business, I wonder, have I effectively “burned my résumé”? Conversely, can you truly be a successful entrepreneur, as Mark says, without doing just that? I’m not sure.

But here’s the question I have for all of you – entrepreneur or not – what would you “burn your résumé” for? What I mean is, what opportunity in your life would be so amazing, so exciting, but also so risky that you’d be willing to leave your career behind, burn your resume, and take the leap?

I’m not advocating that all women take such a huge risk. Trust me, it comes with incredible ups and downs, but I think Mark Pincus is right in that we all sould be willing to do something we’re so passionate about we’re willing to be called stupid or foolish. Go do it, Career Girls! It might be worth it, after all.

Women are notorious for allowing ourselves to be taken advantage of. We often actually enjoy being doormats in both our personal and professional lives. I’ve heard women say, when considering a divorce, “But he needs me.” The same feelings apply to many women when considering looking for a new job. We think, “I can’t leave. They need me.” We worry about how our co-workers will react. Will they hate us? Will our boss pile work on them instead of hiring someone new? Will you be able to maintain relationships with the people you enjoy at work? What if, what if, what if…

The fact of the matter is, though, you’re not irreplaceable. No one is irreplaceable. Even the leader of the free world, the President of the United States, has a term limit and a succession plan in case of disaster. Repeat after me, “If the President is replaceable, I’m replaceable.” Still don’t believe? Take what a friend of mine calls “the bucket test.” Fill a bucket with water, and emerge your arm as far as it will go into the bucket. There’s no denying that your arm is a massive force of energy and space on that bucket of water. But remove your arm from the water, and the water doesn’t remain in position, it flows quickly to fill the spaces your arm had filled. Your office, your boss, and your coworkers are the water. You are your arm. They will fill in the spaces when you leave.

What does this mean for your career? It means you should look for a job when you’re ready, and you should consider only your personal needs and desires when you make those decisions. No matter how fantastic you are, you can be replaced and your job will be filled in by those around you and likely a new individual. Let that act, not as a let down in your career, but as a way to see yourself first and put yourself first in your decision making.

In the staffing industry, we do a lot of thorough vetting of prospective candidates for different positions. We want to make sure that our client is going to get the best possible person for their job, but on top of that, we want to make sure that the fit is going to be an ideal one for both the candidate and the client. I like to tell candidates and clients alike that there are rarely bad people, but there are a lot of cosmically bad matches between employer and employee. When skeptical candidates offer concerns that recruiters are only out to please their clients and don’t care about the actual employees, I’m fond of responding by letting them know that they are right…to a point. We do work for our clients–they pay our bill. But when a candidate is happy in their workplace, doing their job, the client is happy in turn. When the client is happy, I’ve done my job; theoretically, I work for both parties.

Finding what is going to make someone happy can be tricky, especially because people often immediately concern themselves with important things like benefits or paycheck size. These things are indeed important, but largely won’t be what gives an employee long-term happiness. The key is to figure out what other things are going to be necessary to keeping an employee satisfied and motivated. So, we ask this: what are three things that would keep you at a company long-term that are not pay or benefits? About half the time that I ask this question, candidates smile and say, “Wow…what a good question!” and then use some time to think a little harder about what they really want–we can tell sometimes that they’ve never before thought that what they wanted really made a difference in their workplace…that all work is the same. It doesn’t have to be.

Steve Tobak over at Inc.com sought to answer this same question for himself in his article, “4 Things that Make a Career Worth It”:

Some people get up in the morning, get dressed, go to work, clock in, do their job, clock out, and go home to their family. That’s the path they choose. [...] There will come a day when you’ll look back and wonder if you chose the right path–if that insane rollercoaster ride you used to call work was worth it.

Tobak sat down to figure out exactly what he needed in a job that would make him look back and know that he felt good about the choices he made. Among them were contributing to the world at large with the company’s goals and services, the culture of employee interactions, and the process of finding out more about himself as he continued in his work.

Other common things that I hear from potential candidates that would lead to their long-term happiness: opportunity for advancement, professional development, work/life balance, flexibility in scheduling, telecommuting opportunities (if this is you, do not apply at Yahoo!, of course!) a company that focuses on volunteerism, an entrepreneurial environment, and enjoying the people at work. Maybe you want a shorter commute, or maybe you really care about making sure that your management is accessible and supportive.

Not everyone has taken the time to think about these things because not everyone has realized that happiness at work is an attainable thing…and something everyone should have. Think back to your last jobs and what you loved and hated. Think about what companies you would love to work for and why. Think about the things that would make Mondays not just bearable, but something you enjoy. Do yourself a favor by asking these questions and finding your own answers–then do something about it! Maybe you would be able to suggest some changes to your management to make your workplace even better for you, or maybe you’ll realize that you’re not in the job you really need to be in to flourish, both personally and professionally. Either way, you don’t have to be a slave to your employer–people who are happy with their jobs are far more productive and contribute in greater ways to a company’s bottom line. Employers who understand this want you to be happy at work. Figure out what you need, and then take steps to pursue it!

The post Zen In the Workplace: What Truly Makes You Happy? appeared first on Career Girl Network.

There came a time during the unemployed season where I would sit in my car, grip my steering wheel, close my eyes and smile, thinking only this:

I truly cannot wait until I’m back in the place where I can buy a grande mocha without worrying that it means I may not be able to pay my phone bill.

I wouldn’t buy the mocha on those days. I would grit my teeth, hold the steering wheel tighter in my grasp, and dream of that day instead. The hope that it would be there at the end of the dark tunnel called “Being Broke Off Your Ass” was enough to keep me going most days. 

Some of us dream of that moment and don’t have to wait long before it comes true. Maybe a week until we get paid again, a couple of weeks until we get that tax refund, a couple of months before we find a new job, or it’s our birthday, or some other special holiday in which we may receive money to get that damn mocha. TO GET ALL THE MOCHAS. Then again, some of us will have to wait much, much longer…some of us worry that we will never see that blissful day that will afford us gratuitous caffeinated drinks and weekends filled with day-mimosas and brunch. Some of us will live hand-to-mouth, paycheck-to-paycheck for quite a while.

I’m fond of saying that money doesn’t necessarily buy happiness, but it seems to buy freedom. It can feel like a prison when we are weighed down by our debt, by our too-small paychecks (or none at all), by our savings dwindling away, by the cost of living in our city. We find ourselves asking, Will I ever get out? How long is this sentence? Is there anything I can do to make it shorter…if so, what?

I had to get that kind of creative recently, trying to stretch every dollar to make it all work as I said good-bye to my robust savings and waved at unemployment income as it passed me by on the road without even stopping for so much as a hello. Did you know that there are a ton of different ways to afford that mocha–or, more often than not, make sure your bills are paid in full every month? So here I am, bein’ frugal and showin’ you some interesting ways to make some extra cash:

• Moonlight. Get a second job–or a part-time first one, while you wait on that new career! I had a little extra cash from teaching acting classes a few times a month. Maybe your local coffee shop is hiring for a late night shift (FREE MOCHA, WOMAN!) or a small pub that could use a hostess or extra set of serving/busing/dishwashing hands. Call centers almost always have night shifts. Part-time canvassing jobs are always open as well. Remember that no matter how much of a Career Girl you are, humility is a huge asset. Don’t feel like you are too good for any part-time gig…yes, you may end up with a FABULOUS full-time career if this is only a temporary thing, but money talks. And your landlord likes to have a monthly conversation with it. Take on that extra part-time work and let it broaden your horizons and build more character. You never know who you could meet or what kind of further opportunities it could lead to.
• Consumer Research Panels. If you live in a major metropolitan area, you probably have access to a lot of these. If not, chances are there are one or two companies like this located near you. Sign up to be contacted about new surveys that are being done. Some will be online, take 15 minutes, and be worth $1 (you get to redeem once you hit a certain amount.) Some will want you to come in for an hour or two of your time to do taste-testing or opinion research…these pay good money. My food, gas, and fun money were saved a few months in a row because I received anywhere from $75 to $200 at a time from these panels!
• Mystery Shopping. There are plenty of companies that you can find online that employ mystery shoppers; one of my favorite is BestMark. Sometimes, these require having some extra money to spend at first, but they reimburse you AND pay you later! I’ve received both a free oil change and a free tire rotation in the last month, plus another $50 for filling out a survey and letting the company know how their employees did. Some shops will be just phone calls, some you will have to take time for…some will even have you go to happy hour on the company’s dime just to let them know about your experience!
• Freelance. I’ll be honest. For me, the “free” part of “freelancing” has often resulted more in what I was getting paid and less about the schedule flexibility, but I digress. It can still be a way to utilize your already-marketable skills and get some kind of cash flow for it! What kind of skills do you have? Check out this article from TripWire Magazine to find 30 websites where you can peddle your skill-wares. Places like Fiverr.com allow you to sell whatever skill you have for $5 each, Sittercity.com will set you up with a babysitting/petsitting/tutoring profile, Etsy.com gives you the opportunity to sell your crafts! Whatever you feel like you’re good at, start monetizing that bad boy now.
• Sell/Rent your stuff. Of course, sometimes this is a last resort for people, but could be really therapeutic and fun. Let’s be honest, you don’t need everything you own. What are you tired of or have no need for anymore? There are several sites on which you can list it, including tried-and-true Ebay and Craig’s List. Now, of course, there are places like AirBnB where you can rent out your living space, or RelayRides to rent out your car periodically.

I know that being strapped for cash can feel like you are living in your own personal hell. Make it a little bit easier to climb out by taking advantage of these opportunities. Shoot, if none of these suit your fancy, you can still always sell plasma ($40-$60/visit!) Don’t worry about where your next meal is coming from anymore. Take advantage of all of those hours that you are not working, save some of that profit up, and we hope that soon, that dream day will come…and you can have all the mochas in the world–just leave one for me.

Getting fired is one of the most emotional experiences a person can go through in a career. It’s easy to think less of yourself in that moment, to be concerned about your future, and to be incredibly afraid of what might happen in your career. Generally, though, there are two types of firings in any job – the kind you see coming, and the kind you don’t see coming. One is not more or less painful than the other, but anticipating getting fired produces another big question. Should you quit before they can fire you?

The Levo League asked this question and gave some great advice here. One piece of advice we loved was this gem:

Is there anything you can do so you don’t get fired? Try to ask your boss about what you can do to improve your performance. If your employer provides access to an employee assistance program, use it. You can work with a career counselor or coach to figure out what is your best move. Terry Bacon, author of The Elements of Power and Elements of Influence, told The Daily News, “If you know you’re going to be fired, turn a lemon into lemonade and make the best possible transition you can. The worst thing is to be in denial and pretend it’s not happening.”

In addition to Levo’s great advice, we have a few questions you might consider before you say “You can’t fire me! I QUIT!”

• Are you financially stable? If you’re living paycheck to paycheck, the truth is, it’s often better to be fired than to quit because you become eligible for unemployment.
• Are you ready to explain the scenario? If you get fired, you have to be ready to explain getting fired. The same goes for quitting. Which scenario would you rather explain in a job interview? The answer to this question could change your mind about how to end the relationship with your employer.
• Are you being fired or laid off? If you know your position is being eliminated for budgetary or similar reasons, you’re being laid off and not fired. In that situation, you may have more the option to negotiate a severance package more freely than you could if you are just being let go for performance or political reasons.

Ultimately, whether you quit preemptively or wait to be fired, your career will have consequences. It’s up to you to determine which story is the least damaging to your journey in business. Take your time as much as you can, and make the right decision for you.

Welcome to my so-called ‘trep life. Okay, I making a reference to what was an amazing, but short-lived show of the 90s in order to share what it’s like to be an entrepreneur with all the Career Girls out there. I’ll admit that I was so one of those 14-year-old girls writing letters to ABC to keep My So-Called Life on the air in order to find out what happened with Jordan Catalano. But what I love, and still love, most about that show is the journey of self-discovery.

In my opinion, there was and will always be an Angela Chase in all of us. The character that a teenage Claire Danes so brilliantly played was constantly trying to find out who she was, where she fit in, and where her life was going. We all experience this as we are growing up, but I believe this journey of figuring out our purpose in life does not stop when we leave the confines of high school or even college. For me, life is about constant learning and experience. Yes, the cliches are true: You only live once and the journey is truly the reward.

That is why I decided to take the plunge into entrepreneurship. With the invaluable support of my husband and family, I am pursuing an opportunity that not only allows me to seek the purpose of my own life, but one that I hope also provides other women with the inspiration and the opportunities to get out there and say Why Not! to life’s adventures.

As I was approaching my 30th birthday, I was feeling compelled to evaluate what made me happy and proud of who I had become. I began to realize that it was not material things or the prominent title at work, but the mulitude of life experiences that I had been so fortunate to have. I wanted to share that attitude with other women.

So, I recently left my digital marketing job at a Fortune 100 company to start Why Not Girl!, a website that serves to empower women to try something new. It is a place for all women to share not only how we say Why Not! in dealing with life’s major milestones, but also the everyday adventures we take part in without blinking an eye. It is a place to celebrate the beauty of living life.

Like everything, it is a work in progress. To be honest, there are days when I feel like I can take on the world and truly be the Why Not Girl! I wish to promote.  But there are other days when I get up and wonder if this was the best move for me, Chris, and our new married life together. I’m still trying to figure out where to take Why Not Girl! while also trying to absorb as much information about business development, market research, networking, and — of course — how to make a living. Plus, I’ve got to continue posting the Why Not! stories that I look forward to sharing with all of you Career Girls here on Career Girl Network.

Although sometimes I do feel like I’m a one-woman show in a very scary, but exciting world, I look forward to continuing the conversation with you by giving you a peek into my newfound life while also hearing from you along the way. Please feel free to share your own entrepreneurial experiences as well as advice that you have for me and all the Career Girls out there trying to break out on their own.

And for those of you who have never seen My So-Called Life, please go ahead and rent the entire season on Netflix.  It’s a perfect way to spend a cold winter weekend. Your inner Angela (and Why Not Girl!) will thank me for it.

If you’re starting a new job, it’s easy to let your excitement and eager attitude get you in trouble in your first couple of weeks. Chances are, you’re going to be the “teacher’s pet” for a while, as every boss is excited to show off her shiny new hire. They want to give you opportunities to succeed and rack up small wins to make you look good. But be careful, because these small wins can come at the expenses of employee relationships. You could become one of two things or both:

1. The well-liked by leadership new girl. You’re doing your job, you’re learning fast, you’re excited to get ahead, and that means leadership loves you.
2. The hated-by-her-coworkers girl. Being too excited and eager could mean you’re making suggestions that, frankly, piss off your new coworkers. That, combined with being well-liked by the higher ups, could compromise your relationships internally.

How, then, can you be careful to balance these two personas? Follow the advice of Jacqui Barrett-Poindexter in “10 Bush-League No-Nos When Starting a New Job.“

My favorite piece of Jacqui’s advice?

Identify and stay away from negative employees. Nothing shortens a career faster than feeding into the negative vibes coming from those who are unhappy in their position and use every opportunity to bring others down with them. These types really like to glom on to new employees, in particular, mostly because the rest of the staff won’t give them the time of day. Guard yourself from this soul-stealing monster at all costs, or suffer wallowing in the same stew.

Check out the rest of the article by clicking here and be sure not to commit any of these no-nos on your first day at work.
