Do most people "work to live" or "live to work"? I can't understand how people work 9 - 5 jobs and are fulfilled; I guess I "live to work" and am having trouble figuring out if it may make my life easier if I "work to live"? Advice? http://bizrelationships.wordpress.com/2010/09/17/live-to-work-or-work-to...

I see the work to live-ers as the ones who work a low paying job just enough hours to pay the bills and never get ahead in life. I know people like that, and I don't admire them.
Meanwhile, I don't know anyone IRL who embodies "live to work." Several (myself including in May...263 hours this year) work long hours because it's expected in their field, but their job doesn't define them. I don't know anyone who would consider his federal law clerk job what defines my one friend or his CFO position for another friend. That's what they do, enjoy, and are good at, but it's not who they are.

I love my 9-5 but I do find, now that I'm dabbling as an entrepreneur on the side, that the corporate structure is less fulfilling as I find more skills and interests un-tapped in the day job. I live to work in the sense that I love to work - whether on my side-hustle or at the office. When I worked to live in the past, it left me dying for the workday to end and resenting the work life all together. I guess it's different for everyone.

I hate when someone looks at my career and says, "You're so lucky". Am I really? Or is it about a combination of skill, desire for continuous improvement, tenacity, etc? How do you respond when someone says, "you're so lucky"? I contend that it's not luck, but about CHOICES and what we choose to prioritize in our life at different times; Wrote about my response here: http://bizrelationships.wordpress.com/2010/08/01/how-humble-do-i-have-to...

Working hard can be a "gift" that you offer to yourself. When viewed in this manner, hard work becomes a more pleasant experience. Think too, of all the people in the world who have never heard a kind word from their parents. It may help you appreciate your mother's pride, even if you are uncomfortable with her words.
And, since you both have made the choice to work hard, celebrate your achievement and be happy about it... and remember it is a gift that you have offered yourselves.

I have to say, for the first time I experienced a problem with tattoo's in the workplace. Not mine, but a co-workers. We work in a corporate business casual setting. A female co-worker has a tattoo on her chest and intentionally wears low cut shirts positioning it so half the tattoo is showing. She said it was so people wonder what the other half was, and therefore wonder about her shirtless. She's an intern and I'd like to point out it is going to hurt her professionally, but not sure how to.

Here's the part about your coworker that concerns me. It's not the tattoo. It's not the location of the tattoo. It's the statement she made about getting a tattoo on her chest so "people wonder about her shirtless." It's the fact that she made that comment to someone she works with (and I'm assuming she said it while she was at work?) And it also should be a red flag that she is wearing low-cut shirts, to further illustrate that she has a tattoo there (and presumably, to make coworkers wonder about her shirtless...)
If that's the case, her actions and comments in a work environment are not very work appropriate, even if the quality of her work is good.
It's so hard when you work with someone who is doing things that could interfere with their career or doing things that border on HR violations in the workplace. Then you have the internal struggle over whether or not to approach the person about it. Sometimes, I've found that it's actually easier to approach people about these issues if you are supervising rather than just working with them. Not because of power or authority but because they sometimes are more receptive. (It also depends on your approach and the level of rapport and mutual respect, though.)
In this case, it doesn't sound like you were close to this person or that you were her supervisor/manager, and now that she's moved elsewhere and is continuing to produce quality work, maybe it's not an issue anymore. I do know for a fact though that there would be many companies that would see red flags in her behavior, so hopefully she'll correct it before it hurts her down the road.

"You're overqualified." A sizable number of people applying for jobs have heard recruiters or potential employers say that to their face. Is this another way of saying you didn't get the job, is it factually correct, or an opportunity for you to adjust the conversation with the recruiter? What are your thoughts? If you have an example of a comment that caught you off guard (so others can be prepared) or how you responded and had a positive response, please share it with the group. Thanks.

On the other side of the recruitment table, if you have an applicant who is overqualified for the position they may find the work to be uninteresting or mundane and not be satisfied in the position. Would a former CEO find working as cashier challenging and fulfilling? Probably not.

They forsee that you (as overqualified) would be bored with the job soon and leave, taking with you their valuable training. They are not playing hard to get. In Recruiter world this means the recruiter isn't really doing their job right. In Recruiter/Job Headhunter World it is their ultimate goal to get people into jobs and get excellent people into excellent jobs. Excellent recruiters know that skills can be transfered, skills can be taught but achievement, past history or successes and attitude can not be taught. They want people in jobs, and so do the employers who trust them to do the job. I used to get that ALOT. I had international experience, a job that travelled a lot, and a shiney new masters degree. And I wanted to move to a smaller town to be closer to friends and family. It was really rude at first, then I learned from an HR friend what "you're overqualified" means in HR lingo. I'd take it up a notch. And ask to arrange a meeting with the manager (not just HR) and have an informational interview. Managers have power even HR can't touch. And then sell yourself to that Manager. Write a new cover letter stating why you may be overqualified, but that you are perfectly qualified. You dis-arm them with rationality. What they see as "Too quaified" you then (at the second meeting) spin in your favor. And charm them with why you love their company and why this job is your dream job and is your ideal. And if that doesn't happen and you really really want that job, woo the next level up. Go to corporate. Send a letter to the site, the HR mgr eho told you this, the Mgr who passed you over and then charm the next level up.
Its also good to remember that today 30 people are applying for unadvertised jobs and over 50 apps are likely coming in for EACH single advertised job. So you have to find a way to stand out.
Sometimes "You're overqualified is legit." You may exceed their hiring expectations, but today that can be seen as a risk factor. But if, like me, you really wanted an opportunity in a smaller town because of quality of life issues that does NOT read on an application and may not be heard by HR. But if you are passionate about using your skills and talents -- you almost have to date the company you want to hire you. Be a stand out. They want to see WHY you want to work for them, not just that you (like dozens of others have a nice list of accomplishments under your name). Why you? Why this job? HR is afraid that great skills mean extra $$, but its up to you to show them that its not about the $$ (I know I know) but about loyalty to their company and that you want to be there long term. They know they can train anyone. But its tough out there. And rejection smarts. Actors are told they are a dime a dozen and they show up for "cattle calls." That same is now happening at "real jobs." And sometimes you will just never know the real reason why you are turned down. But if you want a job, go past the recruiter. Establish a relationship with management.
Think of it this way:
Would you rather have a job where TrumpHR pciked you out of a pile of people, or would you rather invest the time and energy to create a first name basis with Mr Trump himself and get a job that way?
The relationship building, it is the new hiring process.
Gramma always said "Its not what you know, honey, its who you know." It was true in 1910, 1930, 1960 and even more so today.
Best of luck! There are job out there that LOVE if you are overqualified. They LOVE the assests and experiences and education you bring to that role. And if you are overqualified a lot -- consider becoming an entrepreneur with your skillset and get paid like the expert you are. Don't give up hope!! {Whew!}

I enjoyed your post thoroughly about the stereotypes and misconceptions that us older people have towards the younger generations.
Those stereotypes have been used on me when I was in my 20's, or at least I felt the same frustration you feel. I think experience is what you actually experience or learn about, right? I think it is safe to say that todays young people have an opportunity to learn much more faster, and thus experience more at an earlier age. With so much interconnected now, I think this is very true.
The one thing I would like young people to harness and talk about more, is their passion and emotion! I see a passion, and a connectedness (is that a word?) with their surroundings, and the surroundings of others throughout the community that I have never seen in my generation or others. This is a very good thing! I think when people harness this passion, and this urge to do what is right for everyone on the planet, good things will happen for our planet and for the people and resources on the planet.
To all Gen Xers Yers and all others, let's focus more on what is our passion, and less about what pays the bills. If we do what we are passionate about, the bills will be paid eventually. I am just dissapointed in myself, that it has taken me so many years to understand this.

I unplugged for three months, while it was refreshing and let me get a better grasp on my schedule, I feel like I missed so much!

I also unplugged for about a month or so but when I got back, I felt like I had to relearn everything I got so used to doing

We will be introducing (yet another) brand new chat... Tuesday's 2-3pm starting October 12th called #MoveChat. It will serve as a community for anyone moving/relocating for work, fun, travel, etc. Will be a place for people to discuss experiences, resources, or questions about upcoming moves. We welcome moving companies/relocation services to provide guidance, & anyone moving who needs resources.
