Are you INFJ?

21 Signs That You’re an INFJ, the Rarest Personality Type

by Jenn Granneman

The INFJ personality type can be quirky, complicated, and sometimes downright contradictory. How do you know if you’re an INFJ, the rarest of the 16 Myers-Briggs personality types? If you relate to most of these 21 signs, the answer just might be yes.

Signs That You’re an INFJ

1. From a young age, you felt different from the people around you.

Even if you had plenty of friends, you never felt like you truly fit in. Sometimes you faked being more like them so they would accept you. This is normal for an INFJ, because we need a sense of community and harmony with those around us.

The Top 4 Soft Skills That Candidates Need Right Now

 When we speak about skills shortages, we’re often focused on the hard, industry-specific sorts of technical skills. However, soft skills are also crucial for employee success in today’s day and age.
This newfound appreciation for the value of soft skills is reflected in many studies, including one from Adecco, which found that 44 percent of senior executive respondents believe that Americans lack soft skills. Compare that to the 22 percent who believe Americans lack the necessary technical skills and the 12 percent who believe they lack the necessary software skills.
According to today’s leaders, the real skills shortage is in the realm of soft skills.
Soft skills are hot right now, and modern professionals looking to advance their careers need to make sure they have the soft skills that employers are looking for. To that end, here are four soft skills that every professional should master today:

1. Leadership Skills
The Adecco survey mentioned above found 14 percent of senior executives thought there was a shortage of leadership skills in today’s workforce. If you want to stand out as a strong leader, you need to be sure you don’t confuse “leadership skills” with “management skills.”
Management skills are the technical foundations of leadership, and the category includes things like the ability to complete appraisal forms, organize meetings, and use management software. What executives are really looking for are the soft skills of leadership — e.g., the ability to make difficult decisions, inspire one’s employees, and prioritize work.

How to confirm travel arrangements in a letter

Dear Mr Brown,

This is to confirm the arrangements we discussed over the phone today. Enclosed are your airline tickets for the British Airways Airlines, flight number 5123, leaving London at 6:30 a.m. on Friday, July 2, 2015, arriving in Moscow at 9:45 a.m. Our colleague Mr James Smith will meet you at the airport. He will be wearing a dark green name tag and there will be a blue flag in his hands with your name on it. As you requested, I left the return flight open to allow you some flexibility in your stay in Moscow.

I reserved a double room for you with a king-size bed at the Hotel Metropol for three nights. I'm sorry, but there were no rooms available with view to the Kremlin towers. I assure you, however, that the view is spectacular from any window in the hotel. The hotel is a two-minute walk from the main sights and the Red Square and it provides unbeatable service. High-speed WiFi access is available in every hotel room and the lobby.

I hope these arrangements meet your approval. If you need anything else, please call me at 123-4567. I am happy to help whatever problems may arise.

I look forward to your arrival.

HOW TO COMPLAIN, AND WRITE A LETTER OF COMPLAINT

Everyone has consumer rights. You have the right to know what you will receive before you pay for a product or service. When you are not satisfied, you have to make a complaint to get your money back or to have the product replaced.

BEFORE COMPLAINING

Review what happened and think about your options and rights. Consider the facts of the case, and what you want to happen. If you are not sure what your rights are, or how to proceed, contact a consumer group and discuss the situation. Talking with such an organization may help you decide how to handle the problem. Pay attention to all printed information you have about the case, such as ads you responded to, brochures, warranty, guarantee, all letters between you and the business and any other papers you received from the company, including agreements, instructions, receipts and billing statements. If you signed a contract, read it carefully and ask the company for explanations of anything you don't understand. The contract or warranty may limit your options or provide you with certain rights. Decide what you want from the company, such as repair or replacement of the item, a refund, an exchange, a credit, a correction of the company's records, or the payment of damages. Consider whether a compromise would be acceptable. It may be easier to resolve the complaint if you agree to a settlement that falls short of a full refund.

First day at the office

First day at the office - brit - mp3

First day at the office

Your first day at a new workplace is quite important. You meet your future colleagues, first impressions are made, you move into your own cubicle or work station and you get familiar with the office space. It’s very important how your new colleagues get to know you on the first day. You should pay attention to your appearance on the first day too and how you interact with the other employees. Try to be friendly but confident. That’s never a bad idea. Usually, your immediate boss or an assigned colleague shows you around the office and tells you about the ground rules. Your hiring manager might have already told you about them at the time of your selection, but if not, make sure you quickly find out about office timings, office attire, break timings, leave policy and such. It will also come in handy if you know about all the rules and regulations followed in the organization.
