Encouraging Simplicity. Weekend Reads.

Never underestimate the importance of removing stuff you don’t need.

Encouragement provides us with motivation to persevere. It invites us to dream dreams of significance for our lives. And it begs us to work diligently with optimism and promise.

Overcoming the pull of consumerism is a difficult challenge regardless of our stage in life. Simplicity requires encouragement. To that end, I hope you will find motivation in these articles below.

Each post was intentionally chosen to inspire simplicity in your life. For maximum effect, find a quiet moment this weekend and enjoy them with a fresh cup of coffee or tea.

How I explained my gaping resume gap

Not all resume gaps are signs of poor job searching, sometimes there are good reasons for gaps in employment.

During my job search in 2006, the question was often phrased like this:

“I see that you worked at Amazon.com in France until August 2001, but that your next job only began over a year later in October 2002. What happened there?”

I would usually grin out of familiarity with the question and then reply with something like this:

“In August 2001, I resigned from my managerial position at Amazon.com in France because I wanted to move back to Israel.

My plan was to take some time off to get settled in Jerusalem properly, without rushing, and then relax because I was exhausted from working at Amazon.

Once I was feeling energized and ready to go back to work, I began evaluating what my best career options would be locally. Unfortunately, by the time I began looking for work in December 2001, the Dot-com Bust (or ‘Internet Crash', as they said here in Israel) was in full swing, companies were closing, hitech (tech industry) people were being laid off left and right, and almost none of them were going to be replaced.”

(At this point in the story, the Human Resources rep. or hiring manager is usually nodding because they too remember what it was like during that tough time.)

“I spent the next 8 months looking for work like so many other people, receiving only a few offers that I had to refuse because they didn't make sense financially.

One company offered to pay LESS than minimum wage to hire me as a Senior Project Manager (a position that normally earns 8-10 times that amount). I would have had to take a second job to pay all my bills. Good thing I didn't join them, they went bankrupt 3 months later.

In the summer of 2002, one of my former bosses from Amazon said that if I came back to France he would give me a terrific job with his new company. With my savings dwindling and an appealing offer in hand, I couldn't refuse.

However, it still took a few more months before I could start my new job because now I needed to move from Jerusalem back to Paris and get settled in there. In parallel, my new company wasn't even ready for me yet so the timing worked out well for both sides, and I finally began working in October 2002.”

Hello, how do you get over being self-conscious or feeling weird about long gaps in your resume? How do I get over it enough to apply for things anyway?

— more plants than friends (@itsabsaf) October 29, 2020

Why this resume gap story works

Let's analyze that answer to the resume gap question:

• “In August 2001, I resigned from my managerial position at Amazon.com in France because I wanted to move back to Israel.”

I wasn't laid off or fired, I resigned. It was my choice to become unemployed.

• “My plan was to take some time off to get settled in properly, without rushing, and then relax because I was exhausted from working at Amazon. Once I was feeling energized and ready to go back to work, I began evaluating what my best career options would be locally.”

Needing time after a transcontinental move is very understandable to get settled in, and it takes more than a week.

Saying that “I was exhausted from work” is a mistake unless you can convince the interviewer that it won't happen again at their company. That said, everyone knows that hard work is tiring and this “slip” of truth can actually work in your favor by showing your honesty.

• “Unfortunately, by the time I began looking for work in December 2001, the Dot-com Bust was in full swing, companies were closing, hitech people were being laid off left and right, and almost none of them were going to be replaced.”

Anyone who's been through the ordeal will remember what it's like to be in industry- or economy-wide recessions, and how difficult the job market is during those moments in time. No one will fault you for getting caught up in such events that were clearly out of your control.

• “I spent the next 8 months looking for work like so many other people, receiving only a few offers that I had to refuse because they didn't make sense financially. One company offered to pay LESS than minimum wage to hire me as a Senior Project Manager. I would have had to take a second job to pay all my bills. Good thing I didn't join them, they went bankrupt 3 months later.”

(The same goes when explaining resume gaps due to illnesses, and that includes mental illnesses and depression. If it was out of your control, say so and people will usually understand.)

Not only was it my choice to become unemployed, it was my choice to stay unemployed. Also, it was worth pointing out that although there weren't many, I was still getting offers during a tough time.

• “In the summer of 2002, one of my former bosses from Amazon said that if I came back to France he would give me a terrific job with his new company. With my savings dwindling and an appealing offer in hand, I couldn't refuse. However, it still took a few more months before I could start my new job because now I needed to move from Jerusalem back to Paris and get settled in there. In parallel, my new company wasn't even ready for me yet so the timing worked out well for both sides, and I finally began working in October 2002.”

Any HR rep. or recruiter knows that a hiring process can take a few months before the candidate actually becomes an employee.

Finally, it's important to emphasize that when telling this story to recruiters during my 2006 job hunt, I wasn't an expert on job search. My above reply was a result of simply trying to tell the truth in a positive light and seeing how people reacted, including their followup questions or remarks.

7 tips for explaining your own work gaps

 

1) Be honest

I’m really good at retail but been applying for a year consistently with not even an interview all because I have a 18 month gap in my resume where I had to sort out my health…

— JeremyBoo-remy (@Jeremybearimy_) October 21, 2020

Don't try to hide the gap. Many people have prolonged periods between jobs, at least once in their career. Think of how many stay at home moms try to re-enter the job market once their kids get older!

Having a resume gap is not so unusual, so don't make it seem to be unusual.

 

2) Show it off, even

“How do you explain the Gaps in your Resume?”

“I’ve been an Actor…”

“OOOOOHHHHhhhhhhhh……..wait, what?…..”

— Dennis Hurley (@itsdendo) October 27, 2020

If you took advantage by using the time between jobs to improve your skills or otherwise make yourself into a more valuable candidate.

 

3) Emphasize it was by choice (if true)

Interviewer: "why is there a 4 year gap on your resume?"
Staffer: " I was in a cult?"

— Karen Forde (@fordey70) October 29, 2020

Put a positive spin by explaining how you were selective when targeting companies or contemplating job offers.

 

4) Use history

Going to be really crucial for future hiring managers in every industry to be empathetic about “resume gaps” caused by this pandemic https://t.co/cw1BlKiji1?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss

— kreepy kramer (@kr_mcluckie) October 23, 2020

If your resume gap overlaps a period of difficulty in your entire industry or your country's economy, mention it. In 2020, the coronavirus outbreak is disrupting many job searches. Or- perhaps you weren't job searching the whole time but there was a major event in your personal life that required extraordinary attention. ‘Going historical' works especially well if the job interviewer can empathize because they may have experienced the same event.

 

5) Make your resume gap a non-issue

There is a 12-year gap on my resume that just says “ninja.”

— Fred Rewey (@GodFadr) October 21, 2020

How? By listing directly on your resume what you did during the time between jobs, especially if the time was regularly spent in a framework such as a school or volunteering program.

 

6) De-emphasize resume gaps with a functional resume

"Can you explain this gap in your resume?"

"No. Next question."

— Lucy Everleigh (@LucyEverleigh) October 27, 2020

Resume gaps stand out in a chronological resume, the classic resume type that details your work history over time and, by literally reading between the lines, your non-work history. Using a functional resume emphasizes your skills and achievements over the aspect of time.

 

7) Just avoid resume gaps outright…

By job searching intelligently so that you don't need to search longer than necessary. Improve your job search skills before you need them, at the very least by following blogs like JobMob even while you're still employed.

Spend Your Money on These Three Things to Increase Happiness, According to Science

I would never assume everyone reading this article has their financial needs met. However, there are two assumptions I make when writing about money.

1. More people have their financial needs met than think they do. In our consumeristic society, the baseline of need is always revised upward. The items considered “needs” today would have been considered a luxury not that long ago. Most of us have our financial needs met.

2. Minimalism provides greater financial flexibility to those who choose it. When we remove ourselves from the constant pursuit and accumulation of material possessions, greater financial flexibility is one of the benefits experienced quickly and recognized easily.

Based on those two assumptions, I want to talk about how to increase our overall happiness and well-being with our money.

Or, more specifically, how can we spend our money in ways that improve our subjective well-being? Not based on conjecture, but science.

There is a fascinating study recently published in Advances in Experimental Social Psychology by researchers from Harvard, the University of British Columbia, and Simon Fraser University.

In the study, Prosocial Spending and Buying Time: Money as a Tool for Increasing Subjective Well-Being, the researchers discuss four possible uses of our money.

Three of the uses result in an increase of subjective well-being, one does not.

After our immediate needs are met, purchasing additional personal possessions does not contribute, in the long-run, to increased happiness. But there are choices we can make with our financial resources that do increase our overall life satisfaction.

When determining the best use of our money, this research is valuable. Their findings are summarized below.

Spend Your Money on These Three Things to Increase Happiness

1. Purchasing Experiences.

Whether going to the zoo, the ballgame, or Europe for two weeks, spending money on experiences shared with others brings more lasting happiness than physical possessions.

According to the study:

The earliest and most well-developed line of research treating money as a resource to be intentionally utilized shows that, on average, people experience greater happiness when using money to purchase experiences, as opposed to material goods.

Based on their findings, spending money on experiences rather than material goods results in more positive feelings before consumption, during consumption, and after consumption.

2. Prosocial Spending.

Spending money on others—whether supporting a charity, treating a friend to dinner, or buying a gift for another—brings more lasting happiness than physical possessions.

When we entered personal spending and prosocial spending into a regression predicting happiness, we found that people who spent more money on others reported greater happiness; in contrast, the amount of money they spent on themselves was unrelated to happiness.

By conducting tests of universality, we have been able to demonstrate that the joy of giving is not merely a quirky feature of North American college students, but rather a fundamental component of human nature, detectable from the first years of life across a wide range of contexts.

Based on their findings, spending money on others enhances social connection, provides opportunity to make a meaningful impact, promotes well-being and autonomy. And in each regard, delivers these results in more measurable and lasting ways than buying material possessions.

3. Buying Time.

Whether paying someone to rake your leaves, clean your house, deliver your groceries, or buying a smaller house to reduce your commute, research indicates there is happiness to be found in not just purchasing positive experiences (above), but also purchasing the removal of negative experiences.

People who regularly by time report greater life satisfaction.

The researchers admit this finding requires some deeper analysis and study, “Although experimental manipulations are necessary to enable clear causal conclusions, this longitudinal study provides the strongest evidence to date that the broad proclivity to prioritize time over money predicts subsequent well-being.”

But based on their findings already, buying time provides more opportunity for people to choose relationships, reduce daily stress, and help navigate major life decisions. Even across socioeconomic variables, those results were discovered.

Your specific financial circumstance varies from the person next to you because nobody is exactly alike in this regard. However, the studies above do indicate some consistencies among us as human beings.

If you want to direct your financial resources toward pursuits that pay off in the long-run, choose to purchase experiences, prosocial giving, or buying time. Based on the studies, spending your money on those three things is the best way to increase happiness.

👩‍🎓 5 Things Student Job Seekers Need To Know For 2021

Preparing for your first career job search? Here's how to adapt for a recruiting year like none before.

Photo by sean Kong

This is a guest post by Rob Feinstein.

For college students planning their transition to the full-time working world, 2020 was a year of learning the new rules of the game on the fly.

Looking for work, and life on the job, radically changed in real time. Internships and jobs turned virtual, if they remained at all. Everything related to work – from interviews to the day-to-day life of ‘office’ work – happened remotely.

But for 2021, it will be expected that we’ve all adjusted to a new normal. Student job seekers will need to be experts at the keys to getting a job and thriving in it in a world of remote interviewing and remote work.

Here are the top five things that student job seekers will need to know for 2021.

What college students need to know about job search right now

1) Master the video interview

I completely ruined a video assessment for a job interview and during the end video I squeezed quick message like I AM SO SORRY FOR RUINING IT I TRIED MY BEST and then they sent me an email this morning to let me try again

— Princess Mig (@megisaunderson) October 18, 2020

Your job interview will be on Zoom, or another popular video interview platform, so you need to get comfortable and learn to shine in that medium.

Here are the keys:

• Practice. Give yourself a typical interview prompt like “Tell me about yourself” and record yourself on Zoom to see how you look and sound on video. It’s humbling at first, but you’ll easily see what you need to improve. Record, review, repeat.
• Know where to look. The age-old advice for interviews used to be ‘give a firm handshake and look them in the eye’. In a video interview, the next best thing is to know where to look to appear to make eye contact. There’s a simple trick for this that I share in my new book titled “Launched – Start your career right after college, even during a pandemic”: look at the green light on your laptop, which is the camera’s eye, and your interviewers will see it as looking straight at them. Otherwise, you’ll look like you’re oddly staring away.
• Clean up. That’s not just about what you wear, but what’s in the background that the camera shows. Pick a well-lit and well-kept area of your home to create a clean backdrop that won’t distract your interviewer.
• Sit up straight. You need to sit, but you also need to maintain high energy. Sit at the edge of your seat, and lean in, to appear engaged in the conversation. That’s the remote interview equivalent of a firm handshake.

2) Build your network

I realized today that opportunities our Grade 12s normally have to talk to colleges or employers will be gone due to covid restrictions.

Due to this, we spent the day researching, asking questions and updating LinkedIn profiles.

These are things our grads still need time for.

— Sean Hopps (@seanhopps) October 20, 2020

It’s never been more important to nurture your business network as an aid to your job search.

Did you know that the average LinkedIn user has 400 contacts? That means that if you have an average number of LinkedIn contacts, the number of people your contacts know is 160,000 people! That’s 160,000 possibilities that you are one introduction away from a contact at a company where you’d love to work, an industry you want to explore, or someone you can meet for an informational interview (virtually, of course).

Grow your network on LinkedIn, starting today. Send invitations to connect to former colleagues, execs where you’ve worked who you met (even briefly), your friends, and also your friends’ parents who work in fields you’re targeting. Perhaps even make a local networking directory.

Your network is a lifelong asset that you’ll continue to build throughout your career.

3) Multidimensional applying

My favorite thing to do is help women secure jobs. Any way I can help, I will do it

I always send different jobs when friends say they’re not happy at their company, I’ll re-read / revise resumes, I’ll be a reference, & if my job has an opening I’ll refer them … it’s exciting

— Choose Peace (@BrianniT) August 20, 2020

One of the great values of your professional network is how it can come into play when you’ve applied for a job. You don’t want to just send in your resume and hope for the best. Instead, you want to be proactive and use a tactic I call multidimensional applying. That means that sending in your resume and cover letter is just your opening gambit. What you do next is look to your network to identify who you know, or who your contacts know, who can help you get that job by:

• Putting in a good word for you with the hiring manager;
• Providing an insider’s view of the company;
• And giving you research tidbits to win the interview.

4) Non-standard resume additions

My first job as an assistant psychologist was cut short due to COVID. After so many interviews for other AP roles, I’ve concluded that I’m just not good enough and getting my first AP post was a fluke. There’s a definite fork in the road for me

— Jon Bone (@theVapinDrummer) October 16, 2020

There are two items that you’d never thought should make their way onto your resume, but in 2021 they should.

Who would have thought you should put a job on your resume that you never started?

In the COVID era, it’s actually a good idea for your resume to include experiences you didn’t get to have due to the pandemic. The National Association of Colleges and Employers suggests adding a line like this to your resume: “XYZ Company – Internship offer accepted. Rescinded due to COVID-19 – Summer 2020.” The same is true to a job you started but lost due to the pandemic.

The other items to emphasize on your resume are your proven abilities to master the skills of remote working. I’m talking about things like experience working from home, comfort with remote work tools like video conferencing, and ability to teach yourself new things on your own. Employers now understand that a new set of skills are more critical in an era of remote work, and they’re on the lookout for candidates who have a better-than-average chance to succeed as a new employee starting from home from Day One.

5) Self Improvement

Can I put Covid-19 survivor on my resume?

— Canfield (@canfield2155) October 19, 2020

The number-one job interview question of the upcoming recruiting season is easy to predict. It will be: “how did you spend your time during COVID?’. Every answer, whether you were employed or not, should include something about how you improved yourself.

• What did you read?
• What volunteer work did you do?
• What courses did you take?

Basically, it’s this: what did you do to stay productive and be better when the world had turned upside down?

Many great online courses are free on sites like Udemy, and your school may have a deal with a program like LinkedIn Learning that’s normally fee-based.

The coming year of 2021 will be a recruiting year like none we’ve experienced in our lifetimes. We’ll either still be in a pandemic, or pulling out of it. Either way, along with what’s certain to be a time of continued challenges to the economy, students entering the job market will need to be experts in a new set of skills to be among those who rise to the challenge and succeed.

The Greatest Blessings in Life Are Often the Most Forgotten

This past summer, I celebrated 21 years of marriage. My wife is loving and kind and selfless. She is faithful and patient, a strong Christian, a loving mother, and a tireless volunteer who serves others in our community.

Too often, I take her for granted. Last night, in fact, I forgot to say, “I love you.”

My son is 18, a senior in high school, and just received his first acceptance letter from a university yesterday. Since he was a baby, he has brought joy into my life. I have watched him grow into a hard-working young man who is considerate and kind and intelligent. We have shared countless moments together from driving to school in the morning to flying across the country for trips. We’ve made countless lasting memories.

18 years together, and now it seems, he might be moving on to a new chapter in life apart from us for the first time.

My daughter is 14 and just started high school this year. She is funny and quick and brings joy into every room she enters. Somehow, she can simultaneously laugh at my dry jokes and tear up next to my wife watching an emotional movie. As high school continues, with each passing day, she seems to spend a little more time with friends and a little less time at home.

14 years of being my little girl, and now entering a new stage in life.

Why does it seem that our greatest blessings in life are the ones we too quickly forget, or take the most for granted?

It’s not that I don’t appreciate them. It’s just that too often, my mind dwells on other things: commitments at work, social media feeds, national news, sporting events, or that one specific personal accomplishment I’ve yet to reach.

The good I have been given is too easily replaced in my mind by the urgent or the things I wish I had.

My home is warm and safe—a blessing that not everybody enjoys. But you know what I think about most while at home? The flooring that needs to be repaired, the bathroom ceiling fan that doesn’t work, or that my bedroom gets too warm during the day and takes too long to cool off at night.

My home provides safe shelter for me and my family. But rather than focusing on the positives, it’s easy to dwell on the problems.

My freezer has food, so does our pantry. But what do I often say while staring into the fridge? “There’s nothing in here to eat.”

Some have closets full of clothes, packed to the brim on every hanger and shelf—enough supply to last the next ten years if necessary. And yet, the refrain is the same, “I have nothing to wear.”

Gratitude or discontent, the choice is ours.

I grew up in a loving family and both of my parents are still alive. Despite leaving home almost 30 years ago, I talk to them every week, if not more. I was given a stable and loving home upon which to build the foundation of my life—a blessing as great as any other. And yet, too often, I forget about all the sacrifices they made along the way to provide that for me.

I’m not sure why the greatest blessings are the easiest to forget.

Maybe it’s because they’ve become so commonplace to us that we don’t even notice their existence (until they are gone).

Maybe it’s the nature of the human mind to constantly explore new thoughts and adventures and ideas, rather than dwelling on the stable.

Maybe it’s because we live in a world that constantly stirs up discontent in our hearts and lives to distract us from the good.

Or maybe it’s because we just get so rushed and busy, we don’t slow down long enough, or often enough, to appreciate what we already have.

I’m not entirely sure of the exact reason—and maybe it’s different for each person.

But I do know this: We’d appreciate the goodness and stability in our lives a little bit more if we made more effort to notice the good in our world—starting with the most obvious, because the most obvious is often the greatest.

I mean, consider this, the very fact that I woke up this morning and got to see the sun rise is just another amazing blessing that I took for granted again today.

Minimalism: A Shortcut to Significance

A number of years ago, while Kim and I were grocery shopping, somebody left a large scratch along the side of our maroon minivan. Clearly, another car had scraped it and drove off.

Pushing the cart of groceries, I noticed the scratch while we were still a bit away and immediately felt a pit in my stomach. Such an ugly mark, and so obvious to anyone who glanced at the passenger side of our van.

Worse than the scratch itself was the fact that the driver who had left it there had departed the scene without leaving his or her contact information so that we could access this person’s insurance for the repair.

This meant that if we were going to get the scratch fixed, we would have to pay for it ourselves. More likely, though, given the advanced age of the car, the scratch would remain there, spoiling its appearance.

My wife and I drove away in silence, both pretty upset.

In the quiet, I began to reflect on how the incident had impacted me.

I began noticing the anger and started to wonder why I so upset about a scratch on our minivan. Righteous anger that we had been wronged? Maybe a little I suppose. But more than that, I was upset that something of ours had become damaged.

The reality is that our vehicle was a large investment for us. It had cost us a lot of hard-earned money to buy this car, and we had spent a lot of time and energy caring for it.

If I’d gotten a similar scratch on my bicycle (for example), I wouldn’t have been nearly so concerned. It wasn’t nearly as expensive. But because the car represented a major financial investment for us (our second largest, after our house), I had a lot of emotions invested in it too.

There is a very true reality in life that we become emotionally invested into those items that cost us the most. Almost naturally, without warning, where we spend our money is where our attention and affection is drawn.

Unfortunately, too many of us are tying our hearts to the wrong things. We are devoting our lives to material possessions that will never bring lasting joy.

We shop for bigger houses, faster cars, trendier clothing, and cooler technology, and we shove more and more stuff into our already packed closets. Subsequently, our physical possessions require us to invest more and more time and energy into caring for them.

But lasting fulfillment can never be found in things that are temporal by nature. And our discontent is evidenced in our excess.

Instead, it is important for each of us to look outside ourselves—to find investments that tie our hearts to things that bring real joy, lasting purpose, and meaningful fulfillment. I’m talking about our family, our friends, our spirituality, and the causes we believe in.

That is where we should be devoting more of our time, energy, and financial resources. Because when we do, we are drawn to them even more.

Living with less enables us to be more generous and giving.

I’ve seen over and over again that minimalism can be the quickest shortcut to a life of greater and more lasting significance.

A lot of people might want to be more generous, but until they free themselves from the burden of spending too much money and accumulating too many possessions, they will not be able to do it.

There’s a richness in turning our excess into someone else’s supply. And the sooner we give to others, the sooner we discover the great potential each of our lives can hold.

Generosity, then, is not just an outcome of minimalism. It can also be a motivation for it.

Wouldn’t you like to be making a difference for the better in the lives of others both near and around the world?

Of course you would. Minimalism can get you there quicker. It is a shortcut to significance.
