There is little more powerful than someone else telling people what you do, or that you’re good at it. That’s why testimonials are so important. But there are many other ways that you can get your customers to help tell your story, both to their friends, and to yours. Today I’ll run through three ways that you can get your audience talking about you, creating powerful content, and taking some of the pressure of creating content off of you!
Whether people are using Foursquare, Facebook, or Instagram, you want them to check in to your location and let their friends know they’re there, and you want to make it as easy as possible for them.
Contests are a great way to get people to share content for you. Put up signs in your location or promote them online to get people to share photos, stories or quotes that have to do with your business. Create a hashtag that then ties all the entries together and that leads people back to your site or business.
Ask them to write a sentence or two describing what they like about your company or your product.
Ask for a guest post that details their experience with you or your product.
Send them a questionnaire they can fill out and then post their answers as an interview.
Being the voice of your business and telling the story of your brand is made easier when you invite your clients and customers to join in. Our next blog post will give you some of the benefits that encouraging your customers to tell your story can bring.
What are some other creative ways you’ve seen businesses invite their customers and clients to tell their story?
Should you be on Instagram?
Should Wellman Wilson Consulting be on Instagram? I ask myself this question a lot. I’m still not sure what the answer is but today I’m talking about Instagram and why every business should at least consider it as a tool.
Where is your audience spending their time?
So far, my very informal polling of the under 25 crowd has led me to believe that they will choose Instagram over Facebook every time. They may not be giving up Facebook, but they LIKE being on Instagram more. If your audience is younger and that’s where they’re spending their time, that means you should be considering spending more time on Instagram as well.
The over 25 crowd is there too though, especially foodies. Food in particular does really well on Instagram.
In the world of online content, pretty pictures almost always win the day for fast and easy engagement. If you have the opportunity to share visuals of what you do, you should be considering Instagram as a tool for your business. Or can you share fun images that will make people smile while still thinking of your brand?
If you don’t sell food, or clothing, or a product, does Instagram make sense for you? There are lots of ways to share messages without having a product to show.
As with all the social networks, the human side of your business is really important to share too and Instagram is a really natural way to do that. Letting people know what you’re doing day to day helps them relate to you and feel like they know you better.
So. Should Wellman Wilson be on Instagram?
I’ve decided to commit to posting a tip a day of some kind (I think I’ll do a mix of images and video) on Instagram over the next 30 days. I’m going to conduct the experiment as myself (giving you the opportunity to get to know me a bit better at the same time if you’re interested) and would love some feedback from you guys. Is that somewhere you’d like to see more social media tips? Are you already spending time on Instagram?
My theory is that Instagram isn’t the #1 spot we should be (which is why we focus so much on our blog, the newsletter and Facebook) but that it’s definitely a space that could also work for us. Talking to your audience and experiments are the best way to really figure out if a new tool is worth your time. Please leave a comment and let me know what you think and if you use Instagram!
Instagram is a free photo sharing app for android and iOS devices that turns everyone into a photographer. Since it’s inception in 2010, this photo sharing platform has grown by leaps and bounds and now boasts over 90 million users who are posting about 40 million photos a day, generating nearly 8,500 “likes” per second.
Instagram allows users to take a photo, apply photo filters and captions and share it through a variety of social networking services including Twitter, Facebook, Flickr and on Instagram itself. Instagram is sort of like Twitter, except instead of connecting with others using 140 characters or less, you’re connecting through the sharing of photos.
If you’re wondering why we’re talking about Instagram, thinking that it’s just some fad for the young, you should know that it’s also an effective tool to add to your business’ social media strategy. If you’ve already established a business presence on other social networks, you can leverage Instagram’s potential by sharing what’s going on in your office across multiple networks. It can help highlight your products and services but it can also help humanize your business by allowing you to share pictures of what’s happening in your office. In addition to sharing images of your new products and services, you can post pictures of your staff parties, office mascots, crazy hat day, employee of the month, whatever. It’s also a way for you to take your customers with you to trade shows or promotional events so your audience can get a feel for your brand by learning about the events or causes you attend, support or sponsor.
By adding captions to your photos before you upload them, you can increase the potential for customer engagement - by asking questions, including calls to action or posting tips online. Whether you have a brick and mortar or online business, you can increase interactions with your audience by beginning the conversation through images and captions. You can even use hashtags to help you organize your photos and to help your Instagram connections to find photos on topics that interest them (like your products).
Take a look at 5 Awesome Examples of Instagram marketing from real brands.
Everyone loves to win and Instagram is the perfect platform to hold contests to promote your business. Asking your customers to share pictures of themselves using or promoting your products in order to win free stuff is a great way to go. Instagram can be an effective and fun way to get Instagram users and other lovers of social media talking about who you are and what you do.
Some say that taking your business online can dehumanize the customer experience. When you’re looking to build trust in what you offer, this can be a bad thing. Instagram lets you put a face, literally, on your business efforts in ways that can be targeted to help build confidence in you and your brand. And that’s always good for business.
Are you using Instagram yet? If you have any questions on how Instagram could help enhance your social media strategy, we’d be happy to help.
O ver the week we go through a lot of content - news and blog posts, how tos and conceptual posts on the state of the internet. Every Sunday we share some of our favourites with you.
Instagram is one of the tools we don’t often spend a lot of time thinking about but more and more it’s proving to be an effective tool, especially for a young audience. Nearly 60% of big brands are using Instagram (PR Daily) and 15 Stats Brands Should Know About Instagram (Digiday) give some really interesting numbers to back up the need to at least consider the tool.
Social Capital is quickly approaching (it’s May 31 and June 1). This week a tweetup was announced for April 18 (we hope to see you there!) and the first wave of speakers for the workshop day were announced. We’re also hosting a Twitter chat on Thursday April 11 from 2-3 pm using hashtag #socapott. Put it in your calendar and come and join us!
Every week I compile a list of the noteworthy news (Buzz) from my week of reading. I like to balance news with commentary, but it has to be really valuable for my readers (Brilliance). This week I’m adding Blogging to the mix. We’ll see if it becomes a permanent addition, but this week it was necessary. The links that follow are to sites and blogs that I read on a regular basis - consider them recommended reading for you too. Or you can just come back here each week for a taste of what stuck out to me.
Pinterest announced something this week that many are excited about - the ability to choose your board cover. However, I think this has limited usefulness. The fact is, most people will visit your Pinterest profile once. The day they go to follow your board(s). That doesn’t mean it’s not nice. Being able to customize is just one more way you can reinforce your visual identity.
If you’re looking to learn more about how your Pinterest efforts are being received, you might want to check out Pinerly. It’s an analytics tool specifically for Pinterest.
By far, the biggest news this week is Facebook’s acquisition of Instagram for the bargain basement price of $1 billion. There’s been a bit of backlash over the purchase, with some Instagram users vowing they’ll delete their accounts over privacy concerns. This stems from the fact that Facebook will have access to a wealth of location data stored on Instagram with photos. The supposed backlash didn’t stop Instagram’s growth - it became the #1 app on the app store for the first time after the announcement. I usually avoid mentioning this type of story here because it’s not at the stage where it’s going to affect user experience or impact engagement. But it’s certainly good to be aware.
Google+ rolled out a new interface design that’s really quite nice!* There are giant avatars now and a cover photo. It’s quite a different feel than what you see with Facebook. Many would argue (and I can’t disagree) that the Google+ single column beats out Facebook’s double-column timeline. It is easier to read. Have you checked it out yet?
*It’s interesting to note that there’s been talk here and there this week that people are seeing larger profile pictures on Facebook Timeline. This is clearly a direct response to the Google+ design update. It seems intermittent so far - I’ve been looking all week and only spotted it for the first time on a live page just today. However, I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if we’re about to see our first change to the Timeline design. Oh yes, just six weeks after we all scrambled to publish our timelines, we’ll have to make sure the new profile picture size doesn’t mess it all up again.
“If you want to be charismatic, your mind can’t wander while you’re one-on-one with a customer or colleague.” Do you struggle with this? I have and I’m going to check out this book. As a business owner, I know I owe it to my clients in particular to be fully present when I’m with them.
Ask anyone why it’s important for businesses and organizations to participate in social media and invariably “being where your customer/client/members are” is on the list. It’s become necessary for social media to be part of any comprehensive marketing/public relations/communications strategy. So, it’s noteworthy when an organization decides to pull the plug on their social media channels.
I added this section this week for one reason. Mitch Joel wrote about his process and challenged others to follow suit. The result has been a very interesting peek into the minds of many of my favorite bloggers. Perhaps sometime Lara and I will share our individual blogging process with you as well.
Chris Penn was the first blogger I saw respond to Mitch’s challenge. Chris’ blog always teaches me new ways to look at data. The man is brilliant. Reading about his process was a treat.
Mark Schaefer’s was the next post I got to see. I’m a little in awe of the fact that Mark writes everything for the week on Sundays. I barely have time to put this post together lately!
I also need to learn how to be more like Jason Falls and write, self-edit and cue my posts in 30 minutes. I’ve spent as long as 6 hours on a blog post. If I counted the reading time I spend each week for this post, we’d be up to double-digits.
I’ll keep an eye out for more of these posts over the coming week. I hope it’s a good one for you!

In seniors with memory loss or impaired mental function, the underlying fear of Alzheimer’s disease runs rampant. But the latest research suggests at least some of that worry may be unjustified and that these issues could be the outcome of a far more treatable affliction.
According to a report that appeared in a Canadian medical journal, the symptoms that actually may be the results of neglected hearing loss are often mistaken as the consequence of Alzheimer’s.
In the Canadian study, researchers searched for connections to brain disorders by closely evaluating participants functional abilities pertaining to thought and memory. 56 percent of people assessed for cognitive impairment had minor to severe hearing loss. Astonishingly, a hearing aid was used by only 20 percent of those.
These findings are supported by patients who were concerned that they might have symptoms of Alzheimer’s according to a clinical neuropsychologist who was one of the authors of the study. In many instances, the reason behind that patient’s visit to the doctor was due to their shortened attention span or a failure to remember things their partner said to them and in many cases, it was the patient’s loved one who recommended a check-up with a physician.
It’s easy to see how someone could connect mental decline with Alzheimer’s because hearing loss is not the first thing that an aging adult would consider.
Think of a scenario where your best friend asks you for a favor. For instance, perhaps they are looking for a ride to the airport for an upcoming trip. What if you couldn’t clearly hear them ask you? Would you ask them to repeat themselves? If you still aren’t sure what they said, is there any possible way you would know that you were supposed to drive them to the airport?
It’s possible that some people could have misdiagnosed themselves with Alzheimer’s because of this kind of thinking according to hearing professionals. But it may really be a hearing issue that’s progressive and ongoing. If you didn’t hear what someone said, then you can’t be expected to remember it.
It’s not surprising that people of an advanced age are experiencing these problems given the correlation between aging and the likelihood of having hearing loss. The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) states that only 2 percent of adults aged 45 to 54 have debilitating hearing loss. In the meantime, that number goes up considerably for older age brackets, coming in at 8.5 percent for 55- to 64-year-olds; 25 percent for 65- to 74-year-olds; and 50 percent for those 75-years or older.
While it’s true that progressive hearing loss is a normal trait of aging, people commonly just tolerate it because they think it’s just a part of life. The fact is, the average time it takes for someone to get treatment for hearing loss is about 10 years. Worse, less than 25 percent of people who need hearing aids will ultimately buy them.
Is it hard to have conversations in a noisy room so you stay away from social situations?
How often do I ask people to talk slower or louder?
Do I regularly need to turn up the volume on the radio or television to hear them?
It’s important to point out that while loss of hearing can be commonly confused with Alzheimer’s, science has shown a conclusive link between the two conditions. A Johns Hopkins study evaluated the mental abilities of 639 people who reported no cognitive impairments, then followed their progress and aging for 12 to 18 years. The research found that the participants who experienced worse hearing at the onset of the study were more likely to get dementia, an umbrella term used to describe symptoms of diminished memory and thought.
Getting a hearing evaluating is one way you can avoid any confusion between Alzheimer’s and loss of hearing. The prevailing thought in the health care community is that this evaluating should be a regular part of your annual physical, especially for those who are over 65 years old.

You have heard time and again that eating whole grains is the healthy way to go. But why?
Amy Vong and Wong Hui Xin, dietitians at Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital, tells us exactly how whole grains are beneficial for our health.
How exactly do whole grains benefit a person?
Amy Vong: Current scientific evidence shows that consuming whole grains is linked to better health in many ways.
Firstly, whole grains help us feel fuller for a longer time. This increased sense of satiety helps us avoid overeating.
Secondly, the higher fibre content in whole grains slows down the absorption of carbohydrates, keeping your blood sugar level steady – which is especially important for warding off potential diabetes complications such as heart disease, kidney disease, nerve damage and stroke.
Thirdly, whole grains have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, promoting the growth of healthy bacteria in the gut, which helps digestion and metabolism, as well as reduces allergies.
Taken as a whole, the research points us towards including whole grains in a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.
How significantly do whole grains lower health risks?
Amy Vong: When tracking groups of people over time or conducting surveys on people’s diets, researchers have found that people who eat a diet based on whole grains generally tend to have a lower body mass index (BMI) and better overall health.
If you are in the habit of eating whole grains, you have a significantly lower risk of contracting coronary heart disease – a risk lowered by 20 – 40%. The lowered risk of diabetes is similar at a 20 – 30% reduction.
People who consume the greatest amounts of whole grains, beyond experiencing the benefits above, also have a lower risk of developing some cancers.
What does the latest research on whole grains say?
Amy Vong: In general, we have been seeing an increase of evidence that bolsters older findings, and we understand better how a diet high in whole grains helps in general health.
Most of the evidence for whole grains comes from observational studies, where we have limited control over the participants’ other lifestyle aspects (which also impact their health) besides their diet.
However, there has been an increase of evidence for the benefits of whole grains from intervention studies (where tests resemble drug tests), which are generally more stringent than observational studies.
We are therefore now even more confident that whole grains are good for health.
Do some whole grains provide more benefits than others?
Wong Hui Xin: There are differences between types of whole grains, and each person will need differing amounts.
Grains, such as wheat, rice, oat, barley and rye, vary markedly in the types and amounts of phytochemicals they contain depending on their genetics and a variety of agro-climatic factors.
Whole grains are generally higher in the ‘good stuff’ – dietary fibre, vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals. They have similar macronutrient compositions, ie. energy, carbohydrate, protein and fat content.
However, different whole grains have different nutritional profiles.
Certain grains such as wheat, oat, barley and rye have higher fibre content (more than 10g of fibre per 100g). If your diet is low in fibre, you will want to eat more of these.
Research has also shown that beta glucan, found in oat and barley, is more effective in lowering blood lipids (fat) as compared to other grains. If you need to lose weight, replacing refined grains with oat and barley may help with the process.
On the other hand, corn has the highest phenolic acid content, followed by wheat, oat, and rice. The phenolic acid concentration of whole grains corresponds to their antioxidant capacity.
How much more beneficial is eating unprocessed whole grains (eg. oats) instead of processed whole grains (eg. wholemeal bread)?
Amy Vong: Whether it makes a big difference depends on each individual. As a rule, we should all be making healthier choices, but an underweight 17-year-old and an overweight 70-year-old will definitely have different priorities.
To make sense of how you should be adjusting your diet, we first need to understand the difference between unprocessed whole grains and processed whole grain foods.
On one end we have unprocessed whole grains which have the bran, endosperm, and germ intact.
On another end, we have refined grains, which have been stripped of the bran and germ.
Processed whole grain foods fall somewhere in the middle.
The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2006 defined ‘whole grain’ as any mixture of bran, endosperm and germ in the proportions as in an intact grain – but the grains can be, and usually are, processed so that the 3 parts are separated and ground before being incorporated into foods.
Moreover, for a food product to be considered ‘whole grain’, the FDA says it must contain at least 51% of whole grains by weight. Processed whole grain foods may therefore have lower fibre and nutrient and antioxidant levels compared to intact grains.
In practice, when you buy whole grain bread from the supermarket, that bread will have a whole other list of ingredients that are not whole grains. A whole grain bread made with plenty of sugar or sweetened dried fruit is going to have different effect on your body from, say, brown rice or oats.
At the supermarket, we should be choosing whole grain products that are higher in fibre. Also, remember that including a variety of whole grain foods in the diet is the best way to reap the different health benefits.
Whole grain food products: whole wheat flour, whole wheat bread, rolled oats / oatmeal, popcorn, rye bread, whole grain pasta, whole grain tortilla, whole grain breakfast cereals, whole grain snacks and baked goods (eg. crackers, bars, muffins, etc).
Are there certain groups of people who should pay more attention to eating whole grains?
Wong Hui Xin: Everyone should consume whole grains over refined grains to help reduce risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, and cancer, as well as for weight control and digestive health.
Besides eating a diet based on whole foods, we should also adopt a healthy lifestyle by engaging in physical activities for 150 minutes each week.
Whole grain foods may particularly benefit people with diabetes and overweight individuals.
For people with diabetes, eating whole grain foods helps to control blood sugar levels better due to the higher fibre content which slows down the absorption of carbohydrates.
For overweight individuals, eating whole grains helps to promote satiety, which helps reduce food consumption and overeating.
Even the fittest athletes can succumb to heart disease. Dr Leslie Tay, cardiologist, advises on reducing the risk of sudden cardiac arrest during sports.
Heart Truth #7: All Take Note!
Guys – listen up. Men generally face a higher risk of heart disease than women. Yet, cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death for women.
Heart Truth #5: Get Moving!
Any form of aerobic exercise is good for the heart. Aim to exercise for at least 30 minutes, 5 times a week.
High blood pressure is a problem, but what’s causing it? Here are 5 common reasons.
For a diabetic, the problem doesn’t stop there. In fact, the leading cause of death by far among diabetics is heart disease.
Complications arising from diabetes and Peripheral Arterial Disease often result in patients losing a limb, but it does not have to be that way.
What is Your Pulse Trying to Tell You?
Your heart rate could give you helpful information about your current health and clue you in on potential health problems.
Dr Ong Hean Yee, cardiologist, shares 5common scans your doctor may perform to scope out your heart health.
Is watching the big game giving you too much stress and excitement? Can watching sports increase your risk of a heart attack?
What are the Screening Options for Heart Disease?
Dr Paul Chiam, cardiologist at Mount Elizabeth Hospital, discusses the tests used to screen for heart disease.
How Far Can I Safely Push My Heart When Exercising?
Listen to your body and understand your limits before attempting to go past your maximum heart rate during a workout.
Dr Paul Chiam discusses the dangers of high blood pressure and the different treatment options to reduce it.
Any heart surgery comes with risks, thus the transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) to improve the treatment of deadly heart diseases has been a welcomed effort.
A fast, irregular heart beat can be triggered by anxiety or emotional stress, but it may also be a symptom of a condition atrial fibrillation. Dr Kenneth Ng, cardiologist, explains.
Are Your Heart Murmurs Harmless?
Dr Dinesh Nair shares when heart murmurs can become a cause of concern.
The left ventricular assist device is increasingly becoming a viable option for heart failure patients around the world.
Heart stents open blocked arteries (that can cause heart attacks) and lessen the risk of clogged arteries in the future. A senior cardiologist talks us through the procedure and how it prevents heart disease.
Coronary angiograms, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and heart stenting are 3 common procedures for detecting and treating coronary heart disease.
TAVI is a minimally invasive procedure that offers hope to patients too old or too ill for conventional aortic valve replacement operations.
Going for a heart procedure can be a nerve-racking experience – but it doesn’t have to be. Know exactly what to expect by asking your cardiologist these 5 questions.
We recommend the most common heart operations to beat heart disease.

Here is my day 12 post for my Blogtober challenge and I’m sticking to my regular weekly post where I share what I have been grateful for over the last week. Being grateful and focusing on the positives of our days and week can lead to better wellbeing, happiness, and can really change our outlook on things. It can also help with worry and anxiety.
1. Knowing my partner is there when I need her. She is so supportive and listens when I need a chat or a good cry. Sometimes a hug is all it takes to make me feel better.
2. A problem shared is a problem halved – or eliminated in my case. I was worried about something earlier this week, and I really didn’t want to talk about it with someone as I thought it would cause more worry for them. In the end I was honest and we solved the problem together and it was no longer a problem. It also saved me a 3 hour round trip car journey – which I was extremely grateful for.
3. Seeing the pink sky when walking my dogs early Sunday morning. It didn’t last long but it was beautiful.
4. Hopefully doing the last grass cut of the year.
5. Halloumi fries from a local farmers market.
Oooh those fries look so yummy! I love a good pink sky too.
They were amazing. The stall at the market offered them with a variety of toppings. I had no idea that you could mix so many different flavours with halloumi.

Social media has changed the landscape of communication and how we interact with others and receive information. For social workers whose profession involves personal interactions and engaging others through the helping process, ethical challenges undoubtedly emerge. While the use of social media poses such dilemmas for social workers, especially those in clinical practice, one cannot ignore the social media revolution. Here, I offer useful tips to leverage social media to your advantage, specifically from the perspective of professional development.
Offering unprecedented opportunities to connect with other social work professionals, social media outlets such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn provide opportunities to connect, learn, share and engage in professional development and advocacy efforts. Social Media serves as a platform to share your professional passions. My passion is in the area of aging and you’ll often find me at the NASW-NYC Gerontology committee meetings and engaging in social media learning and sharing useful aging updates on policy, program, and practice.
Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, YouTube, OH MY! It can be overwhelming. Do not fear, use your social work skills and do your research to find what social media channel suits you best. Be picky and start small. Join one social media outlet and expand from there.
Consider getting a Facebook and/or LinkedIn Account if you don’t already have one. I often tell people to view LinkedIn as an online rolodex. It’s a great way to maintain connections with fellow colleagues and share professional updates. It also provides the user opportunities to join professional groups where one can post questions leading to productive conversations with like-minded participants, both nationwide and across continents. Facebook is a great professional tool also because you can “like” your local or national non profits and organizations that focus on your social work interests and shared goals. It’s a great way to receive updates and stay “in the know” locally, nationally and globally.
This medium is often useful for social workers who might not have the time to frequent and participate in face to face meeting and events. As I mentioned, aging is my passion and the direction I chose to develop my social work career. On Facebook, I “like” local and national aging organizations, receiving daily updates on aging policy, programs and practice. On LinkedIn, I’ve joined groups with a gerontological focus where I have online conversations with like-minded social work professionals. What’s your niche? By identifying your area of practice, social media offers virtual groups with opportunities for conversation and exchange of information in your area of practice.
Now that you are online and connected with others through social media, take the time to share the good work you are doing. Your professional achievements will serve to encourage others and you can be a mentor to those you are connected to. It could be about a program you started or helped improve but the key is to share the positive outcomes.
If you are an expert social worker in a specific area of practice, you could & should use social media to share your knowledge and help empower others. Your professional experience is invaluable and social media outlets afford you the opportunity to share your practice knowledge with other emerging social work professionals.
You are not alone! I recently read a new discussion on LinkedIn from a social worker seeking support and reassurance from fellow social workers on the stress of taking her LMSW exam. Social media is a gateway to information, advice and reassurance. Discussion groups on social media like LinkedIn are great because you can participate & share advice in discussions or you can start your own.
Be active and interactive – This is key!
Social media only works for you if you are an active participant. So, be sure to post, ask questions and start conversations. Share your knowledge and information and you’ll slowly build an audience.

Great post. Social media is now a permanent part of our landscape and social workers need to be part of the discussion.
This is a great post and resource for those social workers that love to integrate technology with practice. I have been doing research on what is out there for social workers and how NASW is guiding technology usage. The link to the standards for technology in social work practice was a great find. I am glad I have found your blog and will pass on the sites link in my upcoming presentation on integrating technology into social work practice in Chicago. I am a MSW, LCSW practicing in Chicago Public Schools.
Thanks so much! There was recently a webinar by NASW for members around social work practice in the digital age and the ethics surrounding the new technology clinicians have. Perhaps you can access the transcripts online if you are a member! Please let us know if you have any other ideas about possible posts around technology and social work practice.
This is a great blog post about social media and how social workers can embrace it.

If you enjoy the challenge of tackling Form 1040 and have ample time to study the tax laws, plus the ability to comprehend them, by all means, you should save money and prepare your own tax return. But if you're like the majority of American taxpayers, the "do it yourself" route could be a costly mistake. Even if you can find time to muddle through the tax laws, you're not likely to learn everything you need to know to minimize your tax bill. Chances are you'll spend many frustrating hours and still wind up paying more than your fair share. Given The complexity of our income tax laws and the ever-increasing demands on our time, becoming a once-a-year tax expert just isn't practical.
Who you choose as your tax preparer and what you pay for this service depends on the complexity of your personal tax situation and your personal preferences. Here are some considerations to help you select the best tax preparer for you.
Tax Knowledge: If your situation calls for a "Short Form" (1040A or 1040EZ) and you prefer not to handle it yourself,you obviously won't need a high-priced tax professional. Yet, unless you are interviewed by a relatively knowledgeable tax specialist, you may file on the wrong form or overlook important tax considerations that could save you money. Even if you should file Form 1040A, you might still be eligible for tax advantages such as Head of Household status, Child/Dependent Care Credit or Earned Income Credit. Every taxpayer needs an advisor who knows all the questions to ask pertinent to his or her specific tax situation. Yet a CPA or a tax attorney is "overkill" for a simple tax return.
Credentials: Virginia has no licensing laws for tax practitioners--anyone can "hang out a shingle" and set up shop as a tax preparer. Also, an individual might have credentials generally associated with tax knowledge and not be qualified to prepare non-routine individual tax returns. Relevant education and experience are necessary for anyone to competently prepare the wide array of individual income tax returns filed by the general public. A tax attorney or a CPA who specializes in individual income tax law is obviously qualified. But many CPAs and attorneys learn and practice corporate taxes only. Individual income tax preparation is a complex and specialized field of study. A very significant credential in the field is Enrolled Agent status, attained by passing an intensive exam administered each fall by the IRS. An Enrolled Agent is authorized to represent taxpayers before the IRS. Another good indicator of individual competence is experience in teaching tax preparation at a recognized school. Regardless of credentials, competent tax preparers must keep current on the ever-changing tax laws through education. And a tax preparer who doesn't continue to practice will quickly become "rusty." Ultimately, knowledge and experience are the best credentials.
"Anyone may so arrange his affairs that his taxes shall be as low as possible; he is not bound to choose that pattern which will best pay the Treasury; there is not even a patriotic duty to increase one's taxes..."
Since anyone can make a mistake, your return should be checked for accuracy, both in math and theory, by a tax specialist other than the preparer. Computerized processing of tax returns can help ensure thoroughness and accuracy, assuming a good software package is used by a knowledgeable tax professional.
Professionalism: Getting your taxes prepared can actually be a pleasant experience if you're being served by a true professional; and you shouldn't have to pay a premium for professional service. You should expect a pleasant office atmosphere with a reasonable degree of privacy and comfort. You should also be treated with respect and courtesy. You shouldn't feel as though you're just another number being processed in production line style. Of course, your personal and financial information should be held in strict confidence. Finally, the person or firm you select should have unquestionable integrity.
Personal Service: Your tax preparer's job is to become thoroughly familiar with your personal financial situation and to help you provide the information necessary to minimize your taxes. He or she should inform and educate you on the tax laws affecting your personal situation. This information will enable you to make decisions as to how your return is to be prepared. Your tax advisor should be working to help you avoid problems with the IRS, but should not behave like an IRS auditor. By the end of your interview, you should have no question in your mind that all your personal concerns were addressed and your best interests were served. Basically, the best tax preparers are not "tax technicians." They are knowledgeable individuals who are not condescending or aloof, but have empathy and genuine concern for the best interests of every one of their clients.
Convenience: Most people prefer to have their taxes prepared at an office near where they live, shop or work. Many taxpayers can only find time to get their taxes done in the evening, or on a Saturday or Sunday. Fast service is also important to most clients. Some people are willing to pay a premium to have their tax advisor come to their own homes or offices. Others prefer to walk-in at their convenience, and many prefer to make a specific appointment. Convenience is important, but other factors should outweigh convenience when your personal tax situation becomes more complex than average. Ideally, you will find a convenient tax preparer with all the other qualities you are seeking.
Availability: Will your tax preparer be there for you in July when you get a letter from the IRS? If you're not sure, you'd better look for another one. A reputable tax professional will be readily available all year round to provide assistance with any tax problems or questions you may have.
Guarantee: What happens if your tax preparer makes a mistake that costs you penalties or interest? Suppose you are audited by the IRS? What if you're not satisfied with the way your return was prepared? Before you contract with a tax preparer, you should find out the answers to each of these questions.
Stability: Even if your tax preparer meets all of your criteria, you should ask yourself if you think he or she will probably still be around to help you this summer, or next year, or five years from now when you need tax assistance. The greatest stability may be available through an established, reputable firm rather than an individual tax practitioner. Yet, most people who seek tax assistance prefer to see the same friendly face year after year. Therefore, a firm that retains its good people for a long time would probably be a good bet, all other things considered.
Price: The cost of preparing any tax return can vary dramatically among different tax practitioners. IRS law prohibits tax preparers from basing their fees on the amount of tax refund obtained by the client. Many tax practitioners charge by the hour, others operate from a standard schedule of charges, and some simply charge "what the traffic will bear." Higher levels of tax expertise typically command higher fees. Ideally, you will find a tax professional with the level of expertise you need for a price you can afford. Perhaps the fairest basis for setting fees is the complexity of the income tax return, determined by the schedules and statements required. This method enables a price to be quoted in advance that will apply regardless of how long it may take for the tax preparer to complete the return. If your tax return is complicated, a tax practitioner may have difficulty quoting an exact price before conducting a thorough interview. However, your candidate should be able to give you a rough idea of the probable fee.
Most people who inquire about price simply want a "ball park figure" to determine whether the cost will be reasonable and affordable. Be wary of tax practitioners who avoid disclosing the basis for their fees in advance. You should also ask if you will be charged extra for tax information should questions arise later, or for assistance in the event of an audit.
Advantages and disadvantages of the following types of tax practitioners should be considered in choosing the best source of professional tax assistance for you.
(4) You will be able to closely scrutinize the tax preparer's qualifications.
(4) Assistance may not be readily available during the off-season.
(5) Help should be available during the off- season.
(3) The firm may have a limited range of specialized skills represented among its tax preparers.
(5) The firm should have a number of highly qualified specialists.
(4) Actual tax return information gathering and preparation may be delegated to less qualified para-professionals and reviewed by a tax partner.
(6) Convenient locations may be available.
(6) Tax services may be available only to preferred customers of the financial institution.
(1) Personal service should be available.
(8) Fees will be affordable for most taxpayers.
(4) Service may resemble a production line. Not every tax preparer can be classified into one of the broad groups described above. And some preparers in each category will have characteristics different than those typical of the group.
How to Pick the Best Preparer for You?
Like any other consumer purchase, unless you obtain a strong recommendation from someone whose judgement you trust, you need to shop around for the best value. Before starting, you should determine the type of tax preparer you can afford and decide how far you are willing to drive, as well as when you can find time for a personal interview. To obtain a price estimate by phone, be prepared to describe your tax situation in detail. Having last year's tax return in front of you may help. To help you determine the preparer's professionalism, you could inquire about professional affiliations, references and memberships in organizations such as the Better Business Bureau and your local Chamber of Commerce. You may also want to visit the preparer's office to assess the atmosphere and privacy. The checklist below may help you compare the acceptable alternatives you can afford.

CIO.com's Bernard Golden discusses the growing "movement" addressing the need to make IT I&O more efficient and how it will be reformed.
"At the end of the day, I believe that it is no longer tenable to simply layer an increasingly complex operations management tool, organization and process infrastructure on top of an already complex software and hardware foundation and to expect satisfying results."
He particularly addresses ITIL, which is a highly structured set of processes designed to standardize IT operations, and states that it may overly focus on placing limits on flexibility, when a potentially better approach might have been to focus on the insights of those at the coal face — the sys admins, operators, console operators, and the like. Based on their insights and experience, IT I&O could be more responsive and more efficient.
Haight notes that there is a growing "movement" addressing the need to make IT I&O more efficient. This movement goes by names like devops (which I wrote about a couple of weeks ago), agile operations, agile infrastructure, etc. This movement is in contrast to a dumbed-down approach to I&O, which seeks predictability by constraining options.
I think Haight is absolutely right that the current approach to I&O is unsustainable. The highly-manual plethora of "Bs" (the Configuration Management Data Base, the Change Control Board, the Incident Tracking Board) acts as an obstacle to agility and innovation. And when you throw in scale (a hobbyhorse of mind that I ride in another blog post), what is merely inconvenient becomes untenable and unmanageable.
• Many organizations do not hire skilled "coal miners." That is to say, there are only so many smart, gifted, experienced I&O people to go around. Most organizations won't have the sharpest knives in the drawer. And the solutions the latter implement for administration are poorly designed, buggily implemented, and probably as poorly suited to scale as the manual alternatives. Standardized processes are usually implemented not to prevent brilliance, but to prevent the effects of stupidity. In effect, they replace high variability of outcomes with predictable mediocrity, which enables more sleep at night for senior management.
• One person's skilled "coal miner" is another's undisciplined hacker. The elegantly architected system administration edifice developed by one smart person becomes an unmaintainable mess when inherited by another smart person. Everyone's had the experience of a really smart person leaving an organization and no one else being able to make heads nor tails of what he leaves behind. I recently had a conversation with a highly-talented engineer at a company and discussed with him the use of one of the commercial management frameworks for Amazon Web Services. He pooh-poohed the use of a framework with the comment "I would just write one myself." Easier for him — more difficult for everyone else down the line.
• It's inevitably idiosyncratic rather than standardized. Even when a number of people collaborate, the output, sans a standard approach, is a one-off, which makes bringing new team members up to speed difficult and imposes a high operational cost on the I&O operation.
A better approach is to identify the emerging best practices from the devop movement and standardize on those. The fledgling products Chef and Puppet are steps in the right direction. Organizations trying to break free of the "process" box should look to products and practices that will be widely used across the industry, thereby avoiding the "IH" (invented here) syndrome, in which an organization charts its own course only to find itself lodging at a high-cost hotel.
I may be misreading Haight's message — he notes that he will be doing additional research in this area — and he's not suggesting ad hoc processes in place of clumsy manual ones. If I've over-read into his post, I apologize, because I think it focuses on an extremely important issue. The key thing is that whatever emerges to replace languid manual processes must be automated, standardized, and support very high scalability. What we really need is a way to identify and standardize the inventions of really smart people who are today solving the inevitable future problem of scale and agility — and to apply their solutions everywhere. That's how IT I&O will be reformed.

Jeremiah 10:20 My tent is destroyed, and all its ropes are snapped. My sons have departed from me and are no more. I have no one left to pitch my tent or set up my curtains.
My tent is destroyed; all its ropes are snapped. My children are gone from me and are no more; no one is left now to pitch my tent or to set up my shelter.
My home is gone, and no one is left to help me rebuild it. My children have been taken away, and I will never see them again.
My tent is destroyed, and all my cords are broken; my children have gone from me, and they are not; there is no one to spread my tent again and to set up my curtains.
My tent is destroyed, And all my ropes are broken; My sons have gone from me and are no more. There is no one to stretch out my tent again Or to set up my curtains.
My tent is destroyed; all my tent cords are snapped. My sons have departed from me and are no more. I have no one to pitch my tent again or to hang up my curtains.
Our homes are destroyed; our children are dead. No one is left to help us find shelter."
Our tents are ruined; the ropes that held them have broken. Our children have all gone away; there is no one left to put up our tents again; there is no one to hang their curtains."
My tent is destroyed, and all my tent cords are broken. My sons have gone away from me, they no longer live. There is no one to pitch my tent again and set up my curtains.
But our tents have been destroyed. The ropes that held them in place have been ripped apart. Our children are gone and are not coming back. There is no survivor to put our tents back up, no one left to hang their tent curtains in place.
My tent is destroyed, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth from me, and they are no more: there is none to spread my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.
My tent is destroyed, and all my ropes are broken. My children have left me and have disappeared. There's no one to set up my tent again or put up my tent curtains.
My tent is spoiled, And all my cords are broken; My children are gone forth of me, and they are not; There is none to stretch forth my tent any more, And to set up my curtains.
My tent is plundered, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth from me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth my tent anymore, and to set up my curtains.
My tent is destroyed, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth from me, and they are not: there is none to spread my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.
My tabernacle is laid waste, all my cords are broken: my children are gone out from me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.
My tent is despoiled, and all my cords are broken; my children are gone forth from me, and they are not; there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.
My tent is spoiled, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth of me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.
My tabernacle is laid waste, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone from me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.
(20) My tabernacle . . .--The tent which had been the home of Israel is destroyed, the cords that fastened it to the ground are broken, the children that used to help their mother in arranging the tent and its curtains "are not," i.e. (as in Genesis 42:36; Jeremiah 31:15; Matthew 2:18), they are either dead or in exile. There is something significant in the fact that the destruction of the city is represented under the imagery of that of a tent. The daughter of Zion has, as it were, been brought back to her nomadic state.
Verse 20. - My tabernacle; rather, my tent. It is very striking how present to the minds of the Israelites was the consciousness of their pastoral origin. Hence the cry, "To your tents, O Israel" (1 Kings 12:16); comp. also, "And the children of Israel dwelt in their tents, as aforetime" (2 Kings 13:5). My cords ... my curtains. The "cords ' are those which, by being fastened to poles and stakes, keep the tent steady; the "curtains," of course, are the covering of the tent (comp. Isaiah 54:2).


text: This is an audiobook recording of South American Jungle Tales by Horacio Quiroga. This is a story about South American Jungle Tales that center on the relationships between people and the different creatures who the author came into contact with on his farm in Misiones [a region of jungle in Uruguay along the banks of the Upper Parana river]. Each story quickly evolves into a fantastical realm where the various animals take on familiar human characteristics. These stories, of course, are a metaphor for how man interacts with nature. They are used to show how human beings are an integral part of a greater ecosystem; and can either chose to exploit it to his detriment, or to live in harmony within it.

The multidisciplinary team approach to providing comprehensive care is the cornerstone of the management of musculoskeletal issues in haemophilia. At the Royal Free the team takes a holistic approach to musculoskeletal disease management that is not just about assessment of a painful knee or having an operation. It recognises that patients sit on a spectrum of musculoskeletal disease severity that is dependent on age and the type of treatments available and the issues that may have been experienced with those treatments. The patient’s own goals sit at the heart of the team’s approach.
Aim: UK guidelines recommend regular assessment of joint status in children with haemophilia using a standardised tool performed by haemophilia physiotherapists. We surveyed UK physiotherapists working in haemophilia care regarding their current practice with respect to joint scoring. Methods: A survey was posted on SurveyMonkey and all haemophilia physiotherapists practising in the UK were invited to respond. Responses were analysed and discussed at a roundtable meeting attended by invited physiotherapists and specialist haemophilia nurses. Results: In all, responses were received from 29 of the estimated 37 physiotherapists in the UK who see haemophilia patients. Both the survey and subsequent discussion reflected agreement that joint scoring offers a valuable tool to clinicians, but that better ways of assessing joint health were needed. There was enthusiasm for combining joint scoring with systematic and validated patient-reported outcome measures. Conclusion: Greater understanding is needed of the relationship between joint scores and measures of physical function and quality of life.
From its humble beginnings in 1990, the UK’s Haemophilia Chartered Physiotherapists Association (HCPA) has led the development of haemophilia physiotherapy in the UK and increasingly across Europe too. Over the past 10 years, the growth of the group has centred on an annual professional meeting that facilitated educational opportunities and professional networking, and has increasingly promoted research among members. The HCPA has now established a Clinical Studies Group, an open forum designed to identify and support research needs and to promote a collaborative approach to research that will answer some of the important questions that remain about haemophilia care.
Members of the multi-disciplinary team involved in delivering haemophilia care face a range of significant clinical and service leadership challenges. These include the developing treatment landscape, the drive towards individualised care, an uneven age structure among haemophilia nurses and constrained budgets. Faced with such challenges, the ASPIRE programme has been established to encourage and support a new generation of haemophilia leaders who are committed to improving haemophilia care across the UK, and beyond. The programme is open to healthcare professional from multiple disciplines, and is designed to support the development of a leadership community comprising members of the haemophilia care team in a way that contrasts with hierarchical leadership and management courses more typically found in the NHS.

Electrosteel owes lenders more than Rs 13,000 crore, of which about Rs 5,000 crore is to SBI alone. Last month, the Kolkata bench of the NCLT had cleared Vedanta's Rs 5,320-crore resolution plan for Electrosteel.
The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) on May 30 allowed Vedanta Ltd to make an upfront payment of Rs 5,320 crore to lenders for acquiring Electrosteel. A two-member bench also said this payment would be subject to the outcome of the petition filed by Renaissance Steel challenging Vedanta’s bid.
“During the pendency, the parties may act as far the approved resolution plan and the resolution applicant may deposit the upfront amount to Committee of Creditors subject to the order of the appeal,” said the NCLAT bench headed by Chairman Justice S J Mukhopadhaya.
The bench also clarified that if Renaissance Steel wins the case, then the Committee of Creditors (CoC) will have to return the money to Vedanta. The appellate tribunal also reserved its order over Renaissance Steel’s petition.
In a regulatory filing, Vedanta Ltd said NCLAT “has allowed Vedanta Limited to acquire Electrosteel Steels Limited (ESL) by depositing the upfront payment to the Committee of Creditors”. On May 17, NCLAT admitted the petition of Renaissance Steel challenging Vedanta’s bid for debt-ridden Electrosteel.
Renaissance Steel’s resolution application was rejected by the Committee of Creditors of Electrosteel Steels. On May 1, NCLAT had directed maintaining status quo in the case pertaining to the sale of the debt-laden firm to Vedanta Ltd.
Renaissance had submitted before the NCLAT that Vedanta is not eligible to bid for Electrosteel under section 29 A of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code as one of Vedanta’s affiliates in Zambia, a unit of its UK-based parent Vedanta Resources Plc, had been found guilty of criminal misconduct.
Electrosteel owes lenders more than Rs 13,000 crore, of which about Rs 5,000 crore is to State Bank of India alone. Last month, the Kolkata bench of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) had cleared Vedanta’s Rs 5,320-crore resolution plan for Electrosteel, rejecting objections by Renaissance Steel.

Differences in certain computer characteristics have led to the development of major computer classifications based on the type of electronic signal and memory size.
Computers, in general are of three types as per the electronic signal they transmit.
An analog computer operates on inputs of continuously varying electrical voltages. An example of the use of an electronic analog computer is that of controlling a flight simulator for training pilots. The computer responds to the cockpit simulator control movements made by the pilot and makes physical changes in the environment so that the pilot feels as if he is controlling an actual aeroplane. Analog computers are used mainly in scientific design and production environments. Each one has to be constructed to do a specific job and will respond very quickly to changes in the measurement of inputs.
In digital computers, mathematical expressions are represented as binary digits (0 and 1) and all operations are done using these digits at a very high rate. It means that the computer operates on electrical inputs that have only two states, ON and OFF. These computers are widely used in commercial and control systems. Now a days when we use the word computer, we mostly refer to a digital computer.
Hybrid computers are computers with combined features of both digital and analog type. Desirable features of analog and digital machines can be combined to create a Hybrid Computer. This type of computer operates by counting as well as by measuring. In other words, the output can be either in the form of numbers or required units of measurement, e.g., an analog device measures patient’s heart beat (ECG). These measures will be converted into digital form and a digital device checks for any abnormality. Further, we can also input digital data like your marks and get digital results like the result of your class. Another example is a Modem. (which converts the digital signals into analog, carry it along the line and at the receiving end again changes it back into digital signal).
Microcomputer is at the lowest end of the computer range in terms of speed and storage capacity. Its CPU is a microprocessor. The first microcomputers were built of 8-bit microprocessor chips. The most common microcomputer is a personal computer (PC). The PC supports a number of input and output devices. An improvement of 8-bit chip is 16-bit and 32-bit chips. Examples of microcomputer are IBM PC, PC-AT.
This is designed to support more than one user at a time. It possesses large storage capacity and operates at a high speed than a microcomputer. The mini computer is used in multi-user system in which various users can work at the same time. This type of computer is generally used for processing large volume of data in an organization. They are also used as servers in Local Area Networks (LAN).
This type of computers are generally 32-bit computers. They operate at very high speed, have very large storage capacity and can handle the workload of many users. They are generally used in centralized databases. They are also used as controlling nodes in Wide Area Network (WAN). Example of mainframes are DEC, ICL and IBM 3000 series.
This is the fastest and most expensive machines. It has high processing speed compared to other computers. They also have multiprocessing technique. One of the ways in which supercomputers are built is by interconnecting hundreds of microprocessors. Supercomputer is mainly used for weather forecasting, biomedical research, remote sensing, aircraft design and other areas of science and technology. Examples of supercomputers are CRAY YMP, CRAY2, NEC SX-3, CRAY XMP and PARAM from India.

Is a paycheque enough to motivate employees to do their best, or are there other types of rewards that would do the same? These are some of the questions Assistant Professor Kun Huo has been looking at in his latest research on non-financial incentives and performance.
“The question of the study is: can non-financial incentives that are based on accounting information about the performance of individuals serve as a proper motivator for employees, and under what conditions would this matter?” he says.
Huo, a CPA with workplace management experience, says that, when hiring employees, managers focus on professional competencies – the knowledge and skills required for employees to do their job in specialized areas or professions. But new employees with less work experience require training to help them reach a higher level of competency. However, the investment doesn’t always pay off if employees aren’t fully engaged in the training or apply what they learned.
Huo’s research looked at other ways to improve employee performance and engagement outside of financial incentives. He was also interested in finding out whether a particular sector of employees would benefit from non-financial incentives.
To better understand incentives he explains the popular but often criticized model - Relative Performance Evaluation (RPE) - versus an alternative approach - Relative Performance Information (RPI) - used in his study.
Huo refers to Relative Performance Evaluation as a forced ranking system. For example, many of us remember being in school when teachers or professors would read a list of student names based on grades. No one wanted to be at the bottom of the list because it meant your grades were lowest. Students want to hear their name read among the top-ranking performers.
He cites General Electric and Microsoft as examples of companies that used forced ranking based on employee performance – best to lowest. The outcomes were stressful and negative, even to the point of job losses.
Huo’s research is based on Relative Performance Information.
For example, in an academic setting you might compare your published research papers to those of your peers. This may motivate you to publish more, benefitting both you and your employer.
One of his research studies took groups and provided them with training prior to testing them on complex puzzles, then provided the participants with information on the best performers. In other studies, no training was done and some groups didn’t get the result comparisons.
The research showed that giving participants both training and information about how they compare to the top performers yielded higher performance as opposed to no training and no sharing of comparisons with their peers. Providing comparisons alone yielded no positive results.
When’s the best time to use non-financial incentives?
Huo comments that many employers feel money is wasted on training because employee engagement is often low. But the results of his studies show that combining training with recognition-based relative performance information may create the beneficial incentive of employee engagement in the training.

Completely lost after graduating? Don't know how to get your work out there or feel anxious about reaching out to your creative idols? Don’t worry, we've all been there. Here's 5 things I learned since graduating.
I wanted to create this blog because I get a lot of people who message me asking for advice, particularly when it comes to that daunting year after graduating.
For those of you who don’t know me too well, I graduated from Norwich University of the Arts in July 2017 with a degree in commercial photography.
Three days after the ceremony, I was on a plane to Barcelona to live with my partner Stevie and kick start my career in the creative industry.
Looking back over a year later, I've learned so many valuable lessons about success and failure.
If you are a recent graduate, still studying or have taken a break since graduating, I hope my experiences will help you and give you some confidence.
It wasn’t until halfway through my second year of university I realised I wanted to pursue a career in illustration.
Photography wasn’t giving me the buzz I was looking for and I knew illustration was going to be more enriching.
The problem I faced is that I was in a class full of photographers taught by photography tutors. Not exactly the best place to get advice and guidance on my newfound career change. So, this is when I decided to take matters into my own hands.
For you to have any success within the creative industry you need to understand who you are and where your work belongs.
Agencies scout people based on the style of work their clients are drawn to. Publications will feature work they know their audience will like. You see where I am going with this?
There is a high concentration of creatives out there striving to be the best and it is easy to become lost within it all.
What I found over the past year is that my work would be picked up when I was putting it in front of the right people and posting it in the right places. A good example of this was my recent collaboration with Jump From Paper.
I had been following the brand for a while because I love their 2D cartoon backpacks and colourful style. When I discovered they were looking for collaborators, I knew I had to put the right work in front of them.
This leads on from nicely from my last point. Don’t allow yourself to fade into the background because everyone else is pushing past you to get to the front.
This was a lesson I learned and changed me for the better. I knew life after graduating is hard enough but when you are living in a foreign country with no contacts, you quickly realise nobody will come knocking.
Sending emails to people I didn’t know and asking for things I wasn’t sure if I deserved would send me into a heightened state of anxiety.
What if they don’t reply? What if they reject my proposal? Will I just embarrass myself? Should I even bother? These were all questions I would ask myself as I sat with my fingers resting on the keyboard.
It wasn’t until I spoke to Stevie about this that he told me I have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
It was true. By stopping myself from sending that email, I avoided the possibility of a negative outcome but also the potential to have a positive outcome.
With this new mindset, I started to see results, I got noticed and my work was out there. I had a fantastic opportunity to start an internship at Hey, a studio I always admired but never considered myself worthy of working at.
This led to several other opportunities and I gained a lot of experience in a short amount of time.
I soon understood that this mentality could be applied to a number of situations, not just emails.
If you are going to a design festival and see one of your favourite designers, go and spark up a conversation. You never know where it could lead.
If there is a blog you love, go ahead and send them examples of your work. You could well be featured.
“If you didn’t take a picture, did it really happen?” Now whilst I hate clichés, I see some truth to this when it comes to getting yourself known in the creative industry.
In this past year since graduating, I created more work than I did in the previous three years at university combined. I created over 200 new pieces of work. Whilst I don’t endorse quantity over quality, it has kept me motivated and eager to develop my work because I formed a habit of creating.
I put most of it on Instagram as part of an ongoing visual diary. I like to share new ideas, techniques and start a conversation with the people who follow my work.
People saw the work I was posting on Instagram and got in touch. Then opportunities came my way. I wish it were more glamorous than that but my success came from working every single day.
If you have a body of work and you don't put it out there, people won’t know about its existence.
Sure, I’ve finished university and I no longer have to learn anything! Woo! Celebrate! 🎉 Wrong.
For me, it was just the beginning.
I felt I was at a slight disadvantage leaving university with a photography degree and a desire to become an illustrator. But, truth be told, nobody cares what you studied or how you got to where you are now.
If you have the skills an employer is looking for then that is all that matters. With that in mind, however, there’s ever-growing demand for people to be the design equivalent of Inspector Gadget.
I don’t agree with employers taking this approach but I can see why they do it. Why hire three people to do three jobs if you can find one person who can do all three?
Treat life after university as an opportunity to build upon existing skills and learn new ones. It will help you out when you apply for your next job.
Video tutorials, on Skillshare, Lynda and YouTube all helped me pick up new skills and improving my chances.
I’ve recently been getting into podcasts too. They have really helped me with working on my business skills and picking up some handy freelancing tips. Two of my favourites are Creative Pep Talk and Meet the Creatives.
This was something which really hit me at the beginning of 2018.
The first six months after leaving university were great. I achieved so much and life was looking great.
Then things took a tumble and so did my confidence.
I finished my internship at Hey and struggled to get back on my feet, I couldn’t get hired and freelance work dried up.
I started questioning myself and whether I had made a mistake pursuing this career.
Then the depression kicked in.
Being self-aware, I saw how my mood shifted and I was no longer the happy-go-lucky, positive person I always prided myself on being.
I compared myself to other people and wallowed in a state of self-pity. I had completely discredited all of the achievements I made in the first six months and the negativity took centre stage.
This was a time where I had to make sure my mental health came first.
I was allowing the pressures of social media and my own expectations to overwhelm me and I knew deep down it wasn’t healthy.
I started taking small breaks away from creating work and spent time talking to people about the problems I faced.
Lo and behold, many of the people I found myself talking to were feeling the exact same pressures.
There will be a lot of moments like this for people just starting out. In fact, many of the people you aspire to be like have been through their own struggles as they were finding their feet.
Remember life is a marathon, not a sprint and everyone is running their own race. Focus on your own development and personal goals and celebrate your achievements.
