NGC has changed a lot since I worked there a few years ago. Back then it had 120,000 employees, and today it has 10,000. Then, it had seven business sectors, and today it has three. While we were able to get into a few training courses such as six sigma, system engineering, COR, earned value management, and CMMI, it was a struggle to do so. Our program manager expected employees to generate billable hours, not sit in training courses. In addition, the sector training function was pretty rudimentary. It produced mostly 'click-through-the-slides' contract-related online courses you were expected to complete while eating lunch in your cube. I hope that situation has improved.

I also believe it's important to note the size of the staff you've managed. I've managed a store with 25 employees and another with 100 so it depends on where you're applying. If you've only managed 4 people but are trying to get a job at a place managing 100 that would be good information to know

I have found that for remote customer service jobs, you have to have at least 2 years experience. My experience is over 40 years and I have been in an office setting for over 20 years. I never look for contract work or companies that want you to use your own computer when you are working for them. You need good phone etiquette, be able to work under pressure, be an active listener, and stay focused. You have to show empathy and treat everyone the way that you want to be treated.

First of all, temper your expectations with realizing that airlines have historically never made consistent profits. The airline business is very cyclical-like the economy (only worse! 😬). How so? Discretionary travel is the first thing people cut out of their budget in tough times and the last thing they bring back in good times. Notice we just got over the covet. As soon as there was a width of the covet, in late January 2020, United's bookings went down. The tube. Stock price went from pushing $100/share to down below $20. You can look it up. Airplanes were parked and employees were told not to come in or were furloughed. Some were encouraged to retire. Was a dire time. Bankruptcy loomed even for the better situated carriers. Not a good thing. Now. Granted traveled did rebound much faster than anyone anticipated. Could have been way worse. Still, now it's 2023 and the business is just recovering to its late 2019 state. Which was the very best the airlines had ever been in perhaps. So just keep in mind that the dollars do not always flow freely in companies that have not had a long history of uninterrupted success. Next issue is to put yourself in the place of your boss. Because your boss is going to want to know WHY you deserve a raise. So, I would advise you to keep good records of your achievements. Sometimes you got to be your own advertising agent! Think of the times that you have helped your company whether it's in an isolated manner regarding customer service, keeping contact with the company's best customers and encouraging them, and (not to be taken lightly) your consistent record of food attendance. Everyone loves reliable employees. The old saying goes "90% of everything is just showing up." And if you don't have anything of these things in favor yet, keep working on all of them all the time. Do anything you can think of in your power to make your company successful. And to make your boss proud and to get an "atta boy" from your higher ups. Once you have a collection of achievements in hand, then ask for a performance review. And in this you want to start off with asking questions about how you can be a better contributor, a more helpful team member, and a top achieving employee. And ask about future opportunities. Even looking way down the road. Like if you're in advertising right now with your company and let's say it's United airlines, then ask your boss during the course of your conversation how you can perhaps get to be the Corporate Vice President in charge of Marketing one day for United Airlines. Just the nature of this very question separates you from the pack. You're not thinking about this weekend. You're thinking about next decade. And then at the end of the conversation, if you have noticed some compliments from your boss and an "atta boy" / "atta girl" then, tell the boss how much you appreciate your job and enjoy the people that you work with etc. Or anything you can think of complementary about the job that the company is doing, your boss is doing, and praise for your fellow employees. Even praise for an employee under you or a peer. Everyone likes a good sport. And that shows you're a team player if you are willing to draw attention to the good achievements of others. You show yourself a person of character. And I don't need to tell you there's plenty of dirt balls and dirt bags in companies these days that just do nothing but step on others. That gets quickly found out and those people end up going. No place. Because you end up reaping what you sow in life And everyone likes a good report. Now, I'm hoping that you have done some research on your own about what people can expect to make in your position at other companies. And because you have confidence in your ability, But make clear you really want to stay with United airlines and build a career there. If you've got a really sharp boss and you've done a great job so far, don't be surprised if your boss brings up a raise for you without you need ing to take the plunge. I'm sure you are intuitive enough to sense how the performance review is going. Take the review and the report on your merits as far as it will go. One thing that you can help yourself with is to avoid first person singular pronouns. No "I" or "me." Don't say something like me, personally. I want to do my best. Be a little humble and say something like "Trying to be the very best; show support for other members of the team." Do you see the difference? First person singular pronouns are a giant turnoff. If you want to replace them with "we" or "us," that's acceptable also. Certainly.

If you're getting affirmation, and you think it's a reasonable in light of the conversation flow, then have a figure in mind for a raise, and maybe add 5% to it. Nothing outrageous about 5% above what you think would be a fair pay raise. Because everything's negotiable. And all the boss can say "no." 5% more than what you were thinking of asking for is not an outrageous extra amount. Nothing that would piss them off. Or nothing that would show yourself haughty and conceited. And, by your time you get to this point, you should have a pretty good idea of how you've come across. If you don't think the 5% extra and above what you're going to ask is appropriate or would not be received well, then you be the judge of that. We know how we see our value to our company, but The real question we're trying to ask and find out is how do others around us see us? Particularly our boss. Does that person see the value of our performance and same aware of our work record? And if you're not getting the good feedback you want, take a good look in the mirror. Is there something I could do better? Is there something I could improve? Am I getting close? Has my boss given me any affirmation or encouragement that makes me think "I have a future here," or has the boss offered me any suggestions that I've not yet done; where I've not done the "carpe diem" thing yet? Have I missed any opportunities? And if so, decide if you want to stay. And if you do, get on those suggestions! Right away! But if you think those suggestions are out of your reach, out of your league, or not, something that interests you in the least, then what are you waiting for? Get those resumes out. And get with a company that you think you have a future with. Godspeed to you, and hoping for your every success!

8 Pros and Cons of becoming an owner operator

Here’s a video of some pros and cons if you want to become an owner operator in the trucking industry. 🚛

From my own personal experience and observation as a truck driver, I don’t recommend becoming an owner operator especially in California. There are new laws in California that make it really difficult to earn a profit. California is big on emissions so you’ll need to get your tractor inspected several times a year.

Becoming an owner operator also means you’ll have to get your own medical insurance and lose out on benefits like sick time, vacation time, and bonuses. You’ll also have to do a lot of “Over The Road” driving which means being away from your family, unpredictable weather conditions, irregular sleep patterns, lack of exercise, and unhealthy eating habits.

I personally make a low six figures, have excellent health insurance, amazing benefits, bonuses, PTO, weekends off, home every night, all that without the hassle of being an owner operator. But if you enjoy sight seeing and traveling, becoming an owner operator may be for you. 🛣️

Have you ever had a company rescind a job offer?

I was once offered a job with a company on Upwork in September of 2022 and one week later I was told that they had changed their mind and that they would not have the opportunity to move forward with my contract due to budget constraints.

Has anyone else ever had this happen to them? #termination #unemployment
