Balancing Childcare With Working From Home

Balancing Childcare With Working From Home Balancing childcare while working from home has become a necessity for many of us during these days of COVID-19.Schools and daycare centers are closed and we must stay quarantined from most of the beloved childcare providers that have helped us in the past (including nannies, babysitters, and family members). Now you’re expected to be a parent, a good employee, and a teacher all at the same time.If you’re lucky, you have a partner or someone else co-isolating who can help you out. Whatever your situation, it’s likely a challenging time.Our team here at Big Interview is entirely remote. We are a virtual team from all walks of life. Some members of our team have children andwhile they are used to working from homethe need to provide 24-hour childcare around their full-time work schedules has been an adjustment.Though the internet is full of working from home advice, we did want to put together some thoughts on balancing childcare while working from home that we hope will be helpf ul for you.But before we begin, we want to talk about one very important thing:Self-CompassionWe’re in an unprecedented time right now. Focus, morale, and stress levels are all going to be topsy-turvy. And guess what? That’s okay!One of the byproducts of our work culture is to think of ourselves as machines that can go and go and go and not be affected by environment and circumstances. But we are in fact human beings who will be affected when our lives suddenly shift in such a drastic way.The bottom line is you are not just working from home. You are living at home during a crisis and trying to work. Be gentle with yourself and don’t expect perfection. You can’t reasonably expect yourself to become a professional child educator or behaviorist overnight.Childcare and education is a full-time job, and you’re already doing a full-time job. So extend some self-compassion to yourself, understanding that this is an odd and difficult time and you are doing the best you can.Now fo r the nitty-gritty.Create a Flexible ScheduleSetting a schedule is usually one of the first things people say you should do for both working from home and homeschooling children.And there are very good reasons for this. Structure can help you feel more in control of your day, and can make it easier to fit everything in.However, life happens. Especially when you’re dealing with children, the unexpected is bound to happen at the most inconvenient time.The key is to create a realistic and sustainable schedule that allows for flexibility when the day goes off-kilter.Scheduling is another area to practice self-compassion in!Don’t sweat it if you aren’t able to keep to a strict schedule perfectly every day.But designing a flexible structure for you and your child can save you a lot of sanity.Predictability is very important to a child’s sense of safety. For instance, if they know that lunchtime or snack time happens roughly the same time every day, they can know that their needs w ill be met and can wait.If these daily rituals happen erratically, however, they may not feel they can trust that their needs will be met and start acting out as a result.Structure is also critical for efficient work. Think about how and when you can schedule blocks of time when you can truly focus on work. Maybe that means coordinating with a partner or roommate. Maybe it means scheduling TV time or video game time to keep the kiddos occupied. You may have to sacrifice your usual screen-time rules just to keep all the balls in the air right now.Scheduled screen-time can also incentivize kids to get through their homework and other activities with less nagging.OK, so structure can be helpful, but HOW should you approach structuring your day at home?Alternate Daily ActivitiesOne best practice is to alternate physical, energy-releasing activities with structured learning activities and downtime.Studies have shown that there is a significant link between movement and learning. Exercise floods the brain with oxygen and nutrient-rich chemicals that promote connections between neurons.So not only is exercise good for your child’s focus, but it gives them a boost in learning and retaining information overall.The general consensus of most childhood development experts is that children can focus on a task for 2-3 minutes per year of their age.So the age/focus breakdown looks like this:2 years old: 4 to 6 minutes4 years old: 8 to 12 minutes6 years old: 12 to 18 minutes8 years old: 16 to 24 minutes10 years old: 20 to 30 minutes12 years old: 24 to 36 minutes14 years old: 28 to 42 minutes16 years old: 32 to 48 minutesOf course, a child’s ability to focus will also be affected by how calm or chaotic their environment is, if they are feeling physical discomfort such as hunger or fatigue, if there are distractions nearby, and how much interest they have in the activity they need to focus on.It can be a great idea to begin the day with a walk or a “wiggle party” to rel ease excess energy before having them sit down to begin schoolwork or other quiet activities.Here are a few ideas to help extend your child’s window of focus:1. Give Them Some AutonomyEspecially with older children, giving them some choice and say in how they spend their time will greatly increase their interest and cooperation in a schedule. No one likes to be told what to do, but being given responsibility and choice can make a big difference.For older children, you can try making the schedule together, incorporating things they like to do throughout the day. For younger children, you can include a block of “free choice” time where they can choose from a variety of quiet activities.2. Make It CreativeIf a child has to complete a task they don’t enjoy, try making it creative. Have them solve a math problem with blocks or stickers, or learn a history lesson by writing a simple script and acting out a short play. The opportunity to be more creative will make the dreaded task seem fun and will help keep them focused.3. Be Task-OrientedIf scheduling blocks of time doesn’t work well for your family, try focusing on a task instead. For instance, say, “You fill out your worksheet while dad/mom answers this email and then we’ll have a juice and coffee break.” This will let the child know an end is in sight and they’re not staring down the barrel of hours of boredom and uninteresting tasks.4. Split It UpA homework assignment that will take 40 minutes can be split up into two 20-minute chunks. This will be good for both you and your child.Excessive focus exhausts the brain and actually impairs our ability to focus, exert self-control, and collaborate.Built-in breaks are essential to health and productivity for both children and adults (remember how we’re not machines?). So look at these break times as a new way of conducting business and not as a million little interruptions.Make Room For FeelingsIt’s easy to judge our days as successes or failure s by the amount of work that’s getting done, but the social and emotional toll on you and your child/children is also very real and very important to make space for.Most of us have gone through a host of emotions the past several weeks that have been difficult to contend with. Your child/children’s lives have also drastically changed.While adults have usually learned how to internalize their feelings (which is not always a good thing!), children have a harder time not displaying what they’re feeling.Worry, sadness, and stress over their changing world and routines may show up in a variety of ways.Sadness and Overwhelm May Manifest As:AngerThrowing Tantrums Yelling At/Hitting Siblings Losing Patience Easily Persistent Bad MoodFatigueLethargy Refusal to Exercise No Interest in Outdoors Not Wanting to Get Out of BedNumbing OutBegging For More Screen Time Video Games Only Calm in Front of TV Complaints of BoredomDisplaced FrustrationArgiung Over Meals/What to Wear Refusal to Compl y With Requests Throwing/Breaking Toysor Objects Blaming OthersIt’s easy to just get frustrated with these behaviors and start lashing out yourselfespecially if you’re trying to manage deadlines and emails and meetings and all of your other responsibilities as a working adult.Your problems may be bigger than your child’s, but their feelings are just as valid. Make time for a daily check-in, maybe over lunch or snack time where you simply ask how they’re feeling, if they’re having a hard time, and if you can help them. And be honest about your feelings too to the extent that makes sense for your child’s age level.Tell them you’re frustrated and mad at this stupid virus too! Let them know it’s okay to talk about what’s bugging them.This is a very important moment to demonstrate to your children how to handle difficult feelings. If you allow your frustration to get the better of you, you miss the opportunity to give a lifelong lesson in the importance of acknowledgin g and honoring big emotions.If your child has room to express and be put at ease about their feelings every day, the frequency of negative behaviors resulting from those feelings will diminish.Overcoming ChallengesYou may be dealing with some extra challenges that make a lot of the things we’ve talked about above seem impossible.Maybe you don’t have enough devices in your home to accommodate working from home and online coursework for your children, making scheduling particularly difficult.Maybe you have three kids with three different online school schedules.Perhaps you are a single parent and don’t have any help with childcare, or your child has no siblings and relies on you for their sole source of distraction and entertainment.It’s true it can seem like a lot to put so much intentionality into structuring your child’s day when you’re just trying to survive from day to day and keep food on the table.But remember, any effort you put into helping your child get through their day now is work time you get later. Taking the extra step to listen to their anxieties or make sure their schoolwork is getting done may feel frustrating in the moment, but the payoff in their calm and quiet behavior will equal increased productivity for you later.One of the major silver linings of the time we find ourselves in is many people are banding together and trying to help.There are a myriad of online educational and entertainment options available. Many are free or available at discounts because of COVID-19.Additionally, some companies and school districts are providing or donating laptops to students who need a device for e-learning. Research what is available in your area if you are experiencing a shortage of tech devices in your home.And lastly, remember it’s okay for your child to be bored sometimes. You don’t have to be providing learning or education during their every waking moment.Studies have shown that boredom sparks creativity and is overall good for o ur mental health. No one ever dies of boredom and your children won’t either. No doubt there are plenty of chores that need to be done around the house, so if complaints of boredom persist, there’s always the good old fashioned chore chart!ConclusionWe began this post by encouraging you to have some self-compassion, and we’re going to end it the same way.Don’t beat yourself up. You’re doing all you can. You may have the misfortune of working for a boss that isn’t sympathetic to the challenges of balancing childcare while working from home, but if you can, release yourself from any guilt you may feel. We’re all in this together and taking it a day at a time.Have a basic, flexible schedule that includes physical release activities and break times and make time to talk to your children about their feelings.If you’re able, savor these moments you have with your children. The virus will not last forever. There will come a time when you are once again at the office all day while they are at school and activities and you only see each other on evenings and weekends. Looking back, you may wish you could build more of the time you have now into your life.We have more thoughts on self-care and career development in our post How to Use Your Time Off For Professional Development if you would like to read more.We hope some of this information is helpful. Stay healthy and stay safe!

Millennials and Technology How Theyre Changing Office Operations

Twenty to thirty year olds and Technology How They're Changing Office Operations As an age, twenty to thirty year olds are portrayed in a variety of ways. They're generally on their telephone, seeking after eccentric pastimes or investing a lot of energy in online life. In any case, at the most recent bleeding edge organizations, twenty to thirty year olds are known for something significantly more significant: changing how organizations approach innovation for their representatives. As the original that is experienced childhood in an innovation filled world, twenty to thirty year olds are advanced locals who comprehend tech on a profound level. Here are the absolute greatest ways twenty to thirty year olds have changed tech in the working environment. Visit programs move the waymillennialscommunicate. For any millennial, visit programs were a developmental piece of their initial years. With programs like AOLs Instant Messenger and MSN Messenger, visit programs were an every day device to discover what was going on with colleagues and companions. Comparative talk instruments are currently a piece of most workplaces. At numerous associations, programs like Slack have become an essential piece of their day by day plan. Using talk windows and room simply like the ones twenty to thirty year olds grew up with, applications like Slack let workers and groups rapidly visit to arrange everything from day by day assignments to lunch plans. Different administrations like Skype for business highlight comparable visit choices that look like exemplary moment flag-bearer customers. These instruments have even continued to other client confronting regions. Chatbots (which are computerized talk customers that are controlled by a PC rather than a human) have for quite some time been utilized by organizations for fundamental client support help. Be that as it may, on account of the development of man-made brainpower and AI, current chatbots can do considerably more than more seasoned renditions. Presently, current chatbots can do everything from directing up-and-comers through prospective employee meetings to helping clients with item questions. Bots might be getting more brilliant, and that is on the grounds that the following ages of millennial developers are, as well. They're making sense of how to construct increasingly complex chatbots constantly. For organizations, visit instruments offer a particularly millennial arrangement of advantages. Visit devices are an ideal method to pose inquiries or have discussions that fall between requiring an in-person talk or a call. Since they grew up with these administrations, millennial workers know how successfully they smooth out group correspondence for both of all shapes and sizes questions. Millennial tech is intelligent and on-request. Pick any child of post war America populated office from the mid 2000s, and youd likely observe an average equipment arrangement: lines of PCs, printers and possibly the intermittent projector rig. Be that as it may, today, an office like this would cause a stir. Organizations that don't put resources into innovation look like dinosaurs to potential workers, Perryn Olson, bad habit boss data official at My IT, said. Using old innovation makes it appear as though the organization doesn't put resources into their representatives, which is a mood killer for some twenty to thirty year olds. Millennial tech isnt essentially restricted to the most recent gleaming new contraptions, however. More youthful specialists need to work with others carefully and tech organizations have progressively moved their items toward this path. Cloud office suites like Google Docs are a typical choice for some organizations and permit various representatives to bounce in and alter a report simultaneously. Different projects offer significantly more ways for workers to team up carefully with each other. For example, the gathering stage Mezzanine is a conferencing administration that permits gushing and on-screen control from different clients simultaneously. For a situation concentrate from Mezzanine designer Oblong Industries, customer Holder Construction exploited the moment coordinated effort the administration permits, in any event, altering and modifying a virtual mockup of a structure progressively. The capacity to utilize Mezzanine and bring everybody into one spot, continuously, implied that it was a five-hour exertion rather than a five-week exertion, since we had the innovation to take care of the issue rapidly, Chad Douglas, executive of pre-development at Holder Construction, said. Millenials need get to now, andthat mindset seeps into workspaces. Essentially, millennial representatives regularly expect on-request assets from their organizations that can incorporate everything from an interior wiki to in-house applications. Twenty to thirty year olds have gotten acquainted with the capacity to in a split second access practically any data directly on their telephones and theyve generally expect a comparative involvement with the work environment, Study.com CEO Adrian Ridner said. For millennial representatives, this desire originates from the bar that innovation and the web have set. In the event that a workers thinking about how to accomplish something like procedure a fundamental archive, would they rather go down to a division and physically scan for it or would they rather simply search up directions on a companys inward asset pages? Eventually, this way of thinking shows the scale and significance of twenty to thirty year olds towards working environment innovation. Like any past age, they basically need to exploit the assets they have around and with the intensity of current-age innovation, its simpler than at any other time to work both more intelligent and quicker. Recent college grads and innovation it's a strong blend. Youngsters recognize what they're doing because of online life, cell phones and growing up as computerized locals. Presently, as youthful grown-ups and millennial laborers, they're preferred versed in tech over past ages.

Dumbest Resume Trend

Dumbest Resume Trend This is By Far the Dumbest Resume Trend October 14, 2014 Theres one resume trend that we absolutely cant stand: Skill Ratings. Learn why this resume tactic is hurting your application, and what you can do instead. Make a Resume in Minutes Dear Job Seekers, If you decide to create an infographic resume (against the suggestion of basically every hiring manager…), please, for the love of god, DO NOT do this for your skills section: Do not do this or you are a Bad Person. Oh look, a cute point system to visualize your skills! Too bad it makes no sense. Creating a skills point system is an awful and illogical style of presentation that will only serve to confuse the hiring manager and make them trash your resume quickly. This trend is most often found on graphic design resumes  that like to push the limits of creativity. Let’s take a close look at why a skills point system makes no sense at all. Take this example: Adobe Photoshop: 7/10 Adobe Dreamweaver: 3/10 Microsoft Word: 10/10 Excel: 3/10 Atrocious. Presenting information like this relies on a series of moronic assumptions which, stacked against  one another, creates a towering pile of illogical BS so high the peak is barely visible. Its a bad resume trend, and people should just stop it. Spock finds your resume most illogical. Nonsensical Assumption 1: All of these skills have the same level of difficulty If you think Adobe Photoshop and Microsoft Word have the same level of difficulty, you are either living under a rock or seriously overestimating your Photoshop skills. These scales are completely meaningless. You cannot create a point scale and compare your skills against each other when those skills differ in quality and difficulty. Period. Don’t believe me? Tell me if this makes any sense to you: Kickball: 10/10 Brain Surgery: 5/10 It doesn’t make sense, does it? The only thing you’ve learned about my kickball skills is that I’m utterly perfect at it (which is true). With regards to brain surgery, would you trust someone with an 8/10, or a 9/10? What does that even mean? It means nothing. Literally nothing which brings us to point 2. Stop doing this. Just stop. Nonsensical Assumption 2: The point scale means something In fact, these scales are completely meaningless. In order for a 10-point scale to have any meaning, people would need to design standardized tests that measure each skill on a 10-point scale. NEWSFLASH: No one has designed tests to rate your ability on a 10-point scale for the majority of skills you’ll put on a resume. In other words, when people rate themselves, it is also known as “making $h!# up.” Try asking someone what the difference is between being a 5/10 and a 6/10 on Microsoft Word. What do you think they would say? RG Hint: There is no difference. Please stop. I cant take it anymore. Nonsensical Assumption 3: People are good at rating themselves Actually, people are horrible at rating themselves across the board. Did you know that idiots are more likely to rate themselves higher for tasks they are awful at, whereas intelligent people are more likely to rate themselves lower for tasks they are good at? This is a cognitive bias called illusory superiority. How can that be? Whereas intelligent people are more aware of the inherent difficulties of a given task, an idiot will obliviously think that everything is easy because they’re incapable of thinking deeply enough about the problem. (This explains the middle-management idiot phenomenon, and also why braggarts tend not to be the sharpest tools in the shed.) Just awful. So how should you present your skills? The  only place your skills actually mean anything is in the meat of your professional experience section. That’s where you tell the hiring manager exactly what you accomplished with your skills, which is literally the only thing that matters. What have we learned? A fanciful skills rating scale gives absolutely no information whatsoever and you should burn your resume to a crisp if you’ve included one. Thanks for reading.

How to Break Into the Data Science Industry - The Muse

Instructions to Break Into the Data Science Industry - The Muse Instructions to Break Into the Data Science Industry In the peak of the Academy Award-named film Hidden Figures, mathematician Katherine Johnson is called to confirm counts for the arrival directions of John Glenn's space case, Friendship 7. Innovation has quite recently supplanted human PCs, the information ascertaining individuals who finished complex conditions before the PC framework's coming, yet the information from the machine had inconsistencies that should have been settled by an individual. That was information science in 1961. Nowadays, things are somewhat extraordinary. Complex information assortment frameworks empower organizations in each division to become familiar with their organizations, customers, and future possibilities. Be that as it may, much like in Hidden Figures, individuals are as yet expected to discover significant certainties from inside the information. Here's the scoop on how we use information science consistently and the fundamental abilities you should be effective as an information researcher, designer, or examiner. Information Science Is Everywhere The potential for information researchers a long ways past account and tech businesses is thriving. There's a developing acknowledgment over all parts that information science abilities have gotten basic for contending and improving in the present commercial center, says Michael Galvin, official chief of Data Science Corporate Training for Metis, an information science aptitudes preparing organization that works with people and organizations. Consider treats. Actually no, not the ones you plunge in milk-the amazing information gathering instruments that help information investigators, researchers, and designers find out about buyer web propensities and illuminate the calculations around those how'd-they-know-I-was simply thinking-about that?! advertisements we're appeared on Facebook. Their objective? To survey customer interests and conduct and utilize those investigation to assist settle on with keying business choices for organizations over all segments. There's a more extensive consciousness of information science in the standard. Influencing everything from Amazon buys to Netflix gorges, information science is contacting more individuals than any other time in recent memory, says Galvin.

Information examiners generally have some expertise in information control procedures, which require preparing in everything from question dialects to graphical information models, says Villanustre. In the interim modelers break down numerical information for relationships and examples.

Information researchers for the most part have further information than the information expert about programming strategies and more extensive information than factual modelers about information expository approachs utilizing progressively refined methods.
