Automatic pension enrolment What you need to know

Automatic pension enrolment What you need to know by Michael Cheary Whatever stage of your career youre in, it can often be easy to overlook the future.Whilst it may be impossible to predict exactly how your working life will pan out, planning ahead should never be too far from your mind. What will happen when you hit retirement age? Have you considered all the options? And are you saving enough to afford the retirement you would like?The chances are that you will probably be entitled to the basic State Pension. This can provide you with a decent foundation for your retirement that covers basic living costs, but you may want more.What is automatic pension enrolment?The government has introduced a new law designed to help people save more for their retirement. All employers are now required to enrol their workers into a workplace pension scheme if theyre not already in one.You will be automatically enrolled into a pension scheme at work if you: are aged 22 or over are under State Pension age; are not already in your employers pension scheme; work, or usually work, in the UK; currently earn more than 9,440 a year (in tax year 2013-14);Your employer will contribute to your pension too, and so will the government through tax relief*. This means that unlike other ways of saving, being in a workplace pension really benefits you since youre not the only one putting money in.Look out for a letter from your employer telling you more. But if you decide the time isnt right or you dont feel you can afford the payments straight away, you can choose to opt out. You will be given opportunities to join again in the future.ExampleIf you are currently earning 12,000 a year (1000 a month) gross** basic salary and get paid monthly: You will pay the equivalent of 4% of your gross salary into the workplace pension (40 a month). This is taken directly from your monthly pay. Your employer pays in the equivalent of 3% of your gross salary (30 a month) The government, in the form of tax relief, pays the equivalent of 1% of your gross salary (10 a month).So the total contribution to your pension pot will be 80 a month.Please note this is just an example: how your employers pension scheme actually calculates payments will probably be different.*Tax relief means some of your money that would have gone to the government as income tax, goes into your pension instead.** Gross means before tax and National Insurance are taken offWhen this will happenAlthough the legal change came into effect in October 2012, exactly when an employer will enrol their workers depends on the size of the organisation.Very large employers implemented the change first (late 2012 and continuing into early 2013). Medium and smaller employers will follow over the next few years.To find out more about automatic enrolment into a workplace pension visit gov.uk/workplacepensions.Find a job What Where Search JobsSign up for more Career AdviceSign up for moreCareer Advice Please enter a valid email addressmessage hereBy clicking Submit y ou agree to the

Should you do a Spring week

Should you do a Spring week As I see my umpteenth stressed out student, anxious to obtain the Holy Grail of a Spring Week it occurs to me that as a careers professional I have a love: hate relationship with them. So why is that? On the one hand, they are a way for first years to explore different options and find out about the real world of work. For years I’ve wanted the students I work with to engage with career planning early on in their studies. This gives you the most time to find out what’s right for you. Every message  tells you how essential work experience is now to demonstrate your passion for a sector to an employer. So surely Spring weeks can only be a good thing â€" right? Well maybe. Lets look at some of the downsides. Only some sectors offer Spring weeks. So in the stampede to get some work experience I come across students with no interest in banking at all, applying to Goldman Sachs saying: “Well surely it’s better to get some work experience even if it’s not what I really want?” Or maybe not? Ummm â€" I suspect many employers will spot an application from a half -hearted student â€" and put it straight in the bin. All that time you spent drafting the applications when you could have been enjoying life on campus, or even studying, wasted! Even if you don’t get caught out and succeed, how comfortable will you be spending your holiday working in an area you’re not interested in, when you could be focusing on so many other things? I’ve heard all the reasons you give to press ahead with the applications:  â€œI don’t want to get left behind.” “All my friends are applying. So surely I must do something?” And of course the answer is that “yes” you should stay proactive. So here are my suggestions:  1. Dont panic! Before you rush to get work experience, press pause and spend a bit of time working out who you are now, including your strengths and areas you’d like to develop further. Who would you like to be in 3 or 4 years’ time? Which experiences will help you become that person â€" volunteering, paid employment, membership of societies, skills workshops, travel, hobbies, interests? You’re at University because you’re bright and because you want to learn â€" don’t lose that curiosity â€" take some risks, enjoy yourself and keep reflecting on who you are and where your future might be.  2. Be aware of the range of opportunities It isn’t just City employers which offer internships. Many other employers offer work opportunities to penultimate year students â€" double check if they do Open Days or shorter schemes for first years. 3. How about making contact with an alumnus or alumna or your university? Here at Warwick we have an e-mentoring scheme you can sign up for. It could be a great way to get hints and tips on a sector which interests you. Other universities will have similar schemes. 4. Be Speculative Work experience is much broader than just Spring weeks. Why not think about arranging some informal shadowing with a smaller employer in the sector of your choice? Sometimes all you need to do to get an opportunity to shadow is ask! You can make speculative applications for work experience to smaller companies. If you’re successful and the work is unpaid Warwick students can apply for a bursary. And finally? Whilst the pressures to get a good job after uni are evident I hope it’s possible to still enjoy yourself getting new experiences and developing your identity for the rest of your life. Go for it!

Will Our Personal Brands Enter a Dark Age of Distraction - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

Will Our Personal Brands Enter a Dark Age of Distraction - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career Today, I had the chance to speak with Maggie Jackson, whose book I highlighted in last weeks top 10 book post. This book is very timely, especially when we continuously talk about how social media is impacting our lives. A lot of the time, I give you positive benefits such as expert positioning, while other posts Ive spoken about how reputation management is required in the digital age. Maggie talks about how we must be aware of these distractions and how to live a life with more focus. Maggie is an award-winning author and journalist known for her penetrating coverage of U.S. social issues. She writes the popular “Balancing Acts” column in the Sunday Boston Globe, and her work has also appeared in The New York Times, Gastronomica and on National Public Radio. Her latest book, Distracted: The Erosion of Attention and the Coming Dark Age, details the steep costs of our current epidemic deficits of attention, while revealing the astonishing scientific discoveries that can help us rekindle our powers of focus in a world of speed and overload. 1) Maggie, how will distractions pull us into the dark age? A dark age is a turning point in history, and it is not a one-dimensional time of negative occurrences and lack of progress. For instance, many past dark ages experienced incredible tech gains. In the Middle Ages, the eyeglasses, the fireplace, the windmill, the stirrup, the rudder, the compass, and the mechanical clock were invented. But in total, a dark age is a time of cultural losses. It’s a dark time when we are not going deeply in thought or relationships because we are not using our powers of attention fully and wisely. For instance, it’s one thing to be ignorant because of a lack of information; it’s another to be ignorant when we’re surrounded by information, but we don’t have the will or ability to tap into it. If we think that what comes up first on Google is knowledge, then I argue that we as a civilization are slipping into a dark age. And today, studies show that tech-savvy younger people often don’t know how to evaluate or assess information from the Web. U.S. 15-year-olds rank 24th out of 29 developed countries on assessments of problem-solving a key twenty-first century skill. And U.S. knowledge workers are so scattered and interrupted that they say they literally don’t have time to think. Second, if the thinnest type of person-to-person contact is what we prefer, this is another sign of a dark age. Our technologies have given us extraordinary connectivity. One sociologist parsed the five-year email archive of one 24-year-old and found that he had ties to 11.7 million people in the world! Yet studies show that when our networks of tie grow, we have less contact with others fewer face to face meetings, telephone calls etc except by email. We are increasingly depending too heavily on diets of the thinnest, most faceless means of communications. One quarter of Americans have no close confidante a level of social isolation significantly higher than even just 20 years ago. Social networks and other tech ties have a place in our digital world, but they shouldn’t be our front and center, dominant means of relating to one another. Two points are important to keep in mind: I’m not saying ‘Blame the Blackberry’ or any technology. We live in a world of flux, and that changes how we pay attention. Our awareness is a little more blurry and our focus is split and diffused. We live in a culture of distraction, one where our attentional skills are eroding, because of deep changes in our society, culture, and habits and new experiences of time and space. Of course, the way in which we live also gives us great positive rewards as wellâ€"freedom, mobility, the idea that careers are fluid, the flattening of hierarchies. The costs are diffusion and fragmentation, and that undermine our abilities to relate and think deeply. 2) Are all distractions necessary? Even though, as you say, they consume 28% of the average US workers day, do you feel that they can actually help someone, instead of lowering productivity? Distraction and being distracted are slippery concepts, because a distraction is in the eye of the beholder. I can be distracted by the screen, or focused on the screen and distracted by my daughter. The distraction is whatever pulls you away from your primary goal. Distraction in and of itself is not bad; in the medical world, distraction is one of the main ways in which pain can be alleviated. Distraction, for me, is shorthand for not using our attentional skills well. There are no specific distractions that are categorically bad. I’m also not arguing that technology itself is bad. I’m arguing that we’re off-kilter; the balance has flung too far towards these shallower means of communication and thought. We need to wrestle ourselves back so we don’t lose the capability to understand what it is to think and relate deeply and to pursue our goals. 3) How can one avoid distraction? Do you have 3 top tips? 1) Speak a Language of Attention Attention isn’t just one thing. It’s now considered by many neuroscientists to be a tripartite set of skills made up of focus, awareness, and executive attention, i.e. planning and decision-making. Perhaps most importantly, scientists are beginning to discover that attention can be bolstered through practice and training. There’s more research yet to be done on this score, but these initial discoveries can help us thrive in a world of overload. Try deliberately using all your senses to expand your awareness fully when you’re in a new situation, such as a job interview. Or when you are struggling with a tough task, try keeping the “spotlight” of your focus on that challenge, pulling it back if your mind drifts. Think of these attentional skills as different arrows in your cognitive quiver. 2) Be Wary of Interruptions An interruption is much more than a delay in your to-do list. Researchers from the new field of “interruption science” have discovered that knowledge workers switch tasks every three minutes. And once interrupted, a worker takes an average 25 minutes to return to their original task, according to informatics scientist Gloria Mark. Humans are built to be interrupted, since that’s how we stay tuned to changes in our environment. But that means we have trouble pursuing our goals, and even remembering our goals, since our short-term memory is quite limited. Try to turn off the ringers and control the urge to check email constantly if you want to get focused work done. 3) Focus on One Another We’re so used to splitting our focus between pdas and tvs, and people and tasks that it’s hard to truly attend to any one thing. But continuous partial attention undermines the depth and quality of our relationships and our interactions. When we give each other half-focus in conversations, on conference calls, or at meals, we are effectively saying, “you aren’t worth my time.”

How To Address Your Career Confusion At Three Key Life Stages - Kathy Caprino

How To Address Your Career Confusion At Three Key Life Stages Part of Kathy Caprinos series “Close Your Power Gaps To Build a Happier Life” Recently I was asked to contribute to a piece for The M Dash, the online magazine for clothing brand M.M.LaFleur, about what it’s like to feel lost at work at various stages in life. While my deepest area of expertise is coaching and training mid-career women who recognize they want and deserve a better, happier professional life, I’ve worked with hundreds of women and men across a fuller span of their lives, including recent grads, post-baby and later career. As we all know, people can feel seriously adrift in their careers at any and all of these stages. But each stage brings with it specific challenges and questions. Below is a look at what contributes to feeling lost and confused in your career at three key stages of our lives, and some first steps to take to move beyond confusion into empowered action. Recent Graduation In just starting out, recent grads often feel lost in a number of critical ways. First, many feel that what they went to school for was something their parents and authority figures told them was the “stable, secure” choice, but in their hearts, they never enjoyed what they were studying or felt that it wasn’t aligned with who they are and what they care about. When these folks graduate, they already feel like they’re behind many others who had a focused passion for what they studied and are thrilled about the possibility of doing work that leverages all that they learned. Another way recent grads feel lost is that they may have studied something they loved, but now, in their efforts to land gainful employment, they find that what they learned in school, while interesting, just isn’t helping them get jobs. I’ve interviewed scores of young people who graduated from good schools, with great grades, and solid majors, only to discover that they couldn’t find a job to save their lives. Thirdly, today’s workforce has become fiercely competitive, and recent grads often find that they’re behind the eight ball and not competing successfully with other young people who’ve already racked up impressive internships and other related work experience in the years before graduation. Without these internships or related work experience, many recent grads, especially in highly competitive fields, feel that their opportunities are very slim and they’re already falling behind their peers. Another contributing factorâ€"how you were raised It’s a very common time to feel lost because we’re moving out of the teen phase where our parents have been very influential in our lives (and often too hands-on), doing so much for us. Here we are on our own, trying to handle adult responsibilities that, in many cases, we haven’t been properly trained or prepared for. We can feel at sea with all the steps we have to take to create new, successful adult lives. Several years ago, I published an interview here on Forbes.com with leadership expert Tim Elmore in which he shared the 7 Crippling Parenting Behaviors That Keep Children from Growing Into Leaders. Close to 8 million people have read this article and it has had viral reach, I think, because millions of parents are realizing that they are not helping their children grow up to lead their own lives authoritatively and confidently. Tips: In a recent interview on my Finding Brave podcast, I spoke with Austin Belchak, Founder of Cultivated Culture, on How To Land a Dream Job at the Salary You Deserve. He shares his personal experience feeling totally lost after graduation. Austin studied science but when he left school, he simply couldn’t find a job, no matter what he tried. He decided to explore a new approach and went on to interview scores of other young people who had had very little work experience yet were able to land amazing jobs at the nation’s most coveted employers. Austin researched exactly how they did that, and in this research process, he learned so much. Austin eventually got a great job and also launched his own business helping other recent graduates do what’s necessary to find jobs of their dreams. It’s an inspiring story with great tips and strategies. What to do: Don’t go it alone When we’re feeling lost, the very first thing is to reach out to someone who can help. This is true no matter what stage of life you’re in. Einstein said, “We cannot solve a problem on the level of consciousness that created it.” I know that if I had reached out for help back when I was just starting out, I wouldn’t have accepted the very first job that I was offered (which I didn’t want, and it set me on a trajectory of unhappy corporate life for 18 years). When you’re lost and overwhelmed, don’t try to tackle the situation on your own. Find a mentor, a friend, a coach or coaching buddy, a therapist, someone who can help you address what you’re feeling and thinking, and help you see other perspectives and strategies to address what seems insurmountable. Recognize your strengths and identify work outcomes you care about Begin to do the work of recognizing what you’re great at (those natural talents and skills that have been with you for a long time and that you love to use). Explore different jobs that require those specific skills and talents. Secondly, know that, in order to succeed in your work, it’s not enough to do tasks you enjoy. You also have to feel good about the outcomes that you’re striving hard to achieve in your job. The company’s goals have to be aligned with what you care about and respect. If you’re working incredibly hard every day for outcomes that you don’t believe in, you won’t thrive. Understand the culture that you’ll feel good in Every organization has its own culture, “feel” and style. And not every individual will be a fit with those cultures. Take some time to identify the specific traits of work cultures that appeal to you and will be a strong fit with your values and personality. Then start to network extensively (and become a true connector) to help you identify and connect with organizations that you’d love to contribute to. Post-Baby What I hear most often from women who are new mothers (and men who’ve become new fathers) and are feeling lost in their careers is this: the very process of having a baby has changed everything for them and made them rethink how they want to spend their time, and how they want to balance parenting with being an active and successful professional. Childbirth is such a monumental experience that often leads us to rethink who we are in the world, and what matters most to us. Frequently, people experience a new sense of frustration and disappointment as they realize that they’re leaving their baby in the care of others while trudging off to do work they find meaningless, harmful or unsatisfying. As time goes on and the children grow, the sheer challenge of balancing new and evolving parenting responsibilities with an already-full plate at work can lead parents to feel utterly lost and unable to cope. Tips: Whenever we feel lost, it’s essential to take some time to get in closer touch with what we feel and think. It’s common to get flooded by our emotions and feel unable to see the possibilities in front of us, for taking control of our lives, making different kinds of choices, and honoring what we care about most. Take some time to simply be and adjust to this monumental change in your life, and to get to know yourself as this new person who has another important role in life to balance. Find some quiet time each day (even if it’s 5-10 minutes) to just allow yourself to think, feel and be quiet with yourself. This will help you sort out what is causing the most distress or challenge right now. Is it that you don’t have enough time in the day to do what you need to? If so, it’ll be important to re-evaluate everything you’re trying to achieve, and start fiercely prioritizing what matters most. Itll be important to stop being a perfectionistic overfunctioner and get more help where you need to). For others, it’s that in the wake of just having a child, what they didn’t like about their careers is more glaring than ever. Explore all those feelings more deeply, and try to tease out the specific parts of your career and professional life that are no longer acceptable. Dont throw the baby out with the bathwater. Just decide on some small, doable steps you take to address what isn’t working. Midlife I’ve worked with thousands of mid-life professionals, and so many of them are lost in a way that’s different from recent grads and younger adults. Commonly, they’ve spent 20+ years working so hard to build a career that they hoped would be satisfying and sustainable, often to find it’s neither of those things, and they have no idea what to do about it. The challenge at this stage is that we often have a great deal to lose if we want to leave our old careers behind. Many people at this time in life have children who rely on them, expensive mortgages, credit card debt, student loans to pay off, and other responsibilities that make changing course at 40 very challenging. That feeling of “lost” can be extremely depressing and confusing. And they stay paralyzed. I’ve discovered there are five core steps that anyone can take to help them out of that feeling of being lost and paralyzed. These steps are highly effective, and also prevent us from making costly mistakes as we try to discover what we really want out of life, and get on a more rewarding and successful path. Those steps are: Step Back â€" for an empowered perspective of who you are, what you’re capable and what you’ve already accomplished that makes you valuable in the world. Watch my TEDx talk Time To Brave Up for exercises that will help. Let Go â€" of the thinking, patterns and behaviors that are keeping you stuck Say YES! â€" to your most compelling visions and dreams for your future and your life Explore â€" Try on â€" behaviorally, emotionally, and physically with doable (risk-free) microsteps, the top three directions that excite you most, to help you determine if these new pathways will in fact be what you really want Create It S.M.A.R.T. â€" build a sound plan, with specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time-bound goals, and with an accountability structure, to help you move forward in ways that will get you to your goals. The truth is, we can feel lost at any time in our lives when the way we’re living isn’t aligning with what makes us happy and what we believe is right for us. We can feel lost when our work has pulled us away from our core values and our sense of integrity and honesty. We can feel lost when we’re being mistreated and discriminated against. We can feel lost when our relationships change and we’re no longer with people we enjoy and respect. We can feel lost when our children grow up and leave us feeling empty and despairing because our life’s work has dramatically shifted. And we can feel lost when we’re experiencing what I’ve found to be the 7 most damaging power gaps that keep us from taking control and being powerful and effective authors of our own lives. In all cases, reach out to someone to get outside help to see yourself and what you’re capable of more clearly. Gain awareness of (and honor) what you’re feeling and thinking and try to understand more deeply what is contributing to the challenges you face today. Then, start taking “finding brave” microsteps every day that will shift your life experience and mindset and give you proof that you can change what isn’t working, and transform your career and life in ways that are satisfying and joyful.

Career Path Options for Education Majors - CareerAlley

Career Path Options for Education Majors - CareerAlley We may receive compensation when you click on links to products from our partners. Those with education degrees know the expectations inherent to this majorothers will assume youre going into teaching. Perhaps you are a teacher and have discovered its not the career you want, or youve found the job opportunities are limited. Whatever the situation, having an education degree doesnt mean youre limited to one profession, in fact, its quite the opposite. There are numerous career options for education majors. Consider one of the following and use your degree to help you catapult your career. Librarian Love literature and promoting your passion for reading? Consider becoming a librarian. Librarians are tasked with picking materials for business, public, and law libraries, as well as the more commonly thought of school media centers. Librarians provide guidance on using resources; in todays world, this means print and online media resources. Generally, librarians must pursue a Masters Degree in Library Science. Writer or Publisher If you have a passion for writing, pursuing a career as a writer or publisher could be the right professional fit. With an education major, youre poised for success in textbook publishing. You may also find youre interest in content writing for online outlets, or look for writing opportunities in local news outlets, whether that be a newspaper or television program. So long as you have excellent writing skills and can alter your communication styles with ease, you generally wont need further licensing or education to pursue a career in writing or publishing. GED Teacher Maybe in your years spent as a teacher you discovered you dont want to work with children. That doesnt mean you cant still be an educator. GED teachers help adults learn basic reading, math, and writing skills in their efforts to pass the GED. Depending on the state in which you reside, the requirements for becoming a GED teacher can vary. In some you may be able to begin immediately with just your bachelors degree, whereas in others you may be required to pursue a masters degree. Museum Educator Are you a fan of museums? Do you adore the idea of teaching children and adults alike the wonders of history, science, or art? Consider becoming a museum educator or museum activities director. These jobs generally involve hosting workshops, putting together activities, and leading tours. Your degree in education sets you up nicely for teaching guests about the exhibitions and objects contained with the museum. If youre passionate about a topic, you can likely find a museum or institution that places emphasis on the learnings of that medium. Guidance Counselor Are you always willing to lend a listening ear? Do you have a true passion for helping others? Have you been called compassionate? Consider a career as a guidance counselor. A bachelors degree in education is a wonderful basis for the skills and learning needed to fill this type of position. Children and young adults face a bevy of challenges both in and out of school, and require guidance on both personal and school-related issues. An education degree is an excellent jumping off point for a career as a guidance counselor, but youll often need to acquire a masters degree or additional training. This can be done in a school setting or online; you can get your online masters degree in school counseling at GMercyU or attend an educational institution in person. Human Resources If youre looking to make the transition to the business world, consider a career in human resources. Companies generally need an individual who can host employee education and training seminars. Your degree in education can leave you well poised to fill this position. You may also consider recruiting, as your ability to understand communications can help you hire excellent employees. Financing Your Continued Education If you find yourself wanting to pursue a career that requires further education, you may be concerned about financing. Higher education can be extremely expensive. Looking for grad student loans? Consider Ascent Loans and find the money you need to make your career dreams come true. If you have an education degree or are currently in pursuit of one, dont fall into the trap of thinking your only option is teaching. While an honorable and rewarding profession for many, not everyone is cut out to teach children. Consider these optionsthe sky is the limit when it comes to career opportunities for education majors.
