4 Things Job Rejection Teaches You

4 Things Job Rejection Teaches You pexels.com The wonderful thing about rejection letters, as ironic as that sounds, is that they can teach you something maybe not a lesson you want to learn, but in the end, you can use that rejection as something to strengthen you for next time. Perhaps that job wasn’t meant for you or just maybe there is something you could have done better that would have made you a more sought after candidate. You thought your personal statement was great, but maybe it needed a second layer of proofreading. Even rejection can teach you something. 1. Don’t be a fake: Sometimes we go into job interviews pretending to be something that we aren’t. We pretend to be something that the employer would want. Believe me, dedication is a good thing, but lying isn’t. Ultimately, that’s what you are doing. You aren’t being yourself; you are being someone that you think they would like. That can only mean that if they hire you, they aren’t hiring you for you, but for the person that they think you are. Do you think you can pull off that façade for the duration you hold that job? I don’t think so. And honestly, why would you? Be you and if they don’t like you, then the job wasn’t meant for you. Period. 2. Confidence is key: Interviewing can be intimidating, to say the least. You can clam up, go blank when asked a question, stutter, start sweating (a lot), etc. When you are about to go into the interview, take deep breaths and tell yourself you can do this. Confidence is one thing that every employer likes in their employees. They want to know that you know what you are talking about and that you honestly believe in your abilities to do the work. I think they can live with some slight intimidation, but remember that they were in your shoes once and if they are a good employer, they want you to just feel good about yourself fully. 3. Improvement, improvement, improvement: As I said earlier, what you think is perfect may not be as perfect as you think. Maybe your resume needed a bit of a touch-up or maybe you should have elaborated more when they asked you about your past experience. Maybe you should have remembered to take that negative about yourself and turn it into strength somehow. Everything can do with some improvement, even when you think it’s perfect. If you get a rejection, sometimes employers are willing to let you know how you can improve for another interview you may have. You have already been rejected by the company, so what do you have to lose by asking them how you could improve? 4. Rejection: the silent blessing: Lastly, sometimes rejection could quite possibly be the best thing that ever happened to you. Did you ever think that maybe that company just wasn’t right for you? You could have been miserable there and wanted to quit immediately. Sometimes things happen to us and we realize that certain jobs would have gotten in the way of what’s happening at the moment. You never know, so try to move on and move forward with life, putting rejections behind you.

Certified teachers 5 reasons why you should try online teaching (and where to start) Got your teaching license? Want to make some extra cash and build a whole new set of teaching skills for the future? If you do, that’s awesome. And this also happens to be the exact article for you, so be sure to keep reading. Here’s how to decide if online teaching is right for you You might have heard about other licensed teachers who’ve made the decision to work from home - or even to take their teaching careers on the road altogether - by teaching online. Or, you may have read about the many qualified educators who opt to teach English online while looking for their next classroom teaching job. If you’ve done even a little research on the topic, you’ll probably already know that online teaching is also a great part-time option for lots of different types of qualified teachers. Here’s just a sampling: Working teachers looking to supplement their existing salary. Education graduates who have yet to land their first classroom teaching gig. Teacher retirees (and supply teachers) looking to earn some money on the side. Takeaway: Regardless of your current working situation, teaching online is both lucrative and chock full of potential for certified teachers, regardless of your subject expertise or experience level. And the career option with perhaps the brightest future for qualified educators right now is - drumroll please - teaching English online. Teaching English online: The hottest job for North American educators As we’ve mentioned on the Teach Away blog a time or two, there’s really no way to overstate the almost mind-boggling growth happening in the global online English teaching sector right now. This is, in no small part, due to the huge growth in China’s online English education industry. Fueled by the surge in demand for English language lessons delivered by North American teachers, online English teaching platforms like VIPKID, are currently ramping up hiring for a large number of teachers who hold a US or Canadian teaching license. We’ve covered the benefits of teaching English online for graduates of all majors before, There are, however, some specific perks of the job are well worth talking about if you’re a certified teacher. The pros of teaching online if you’re a licensed teacher 1. Freedom One big pro - if not the biggest - is that you can teach at home - or anywhere in the world, really. Balancing online teaching alongside a full-time teaching job is surprisingly straightforward. And getting started is easy - you just need the essentials, like a working computer/laptop, webcam, a solid internet connection, mic and headset. Some additional props you might want to use you’ll likely already have lying around, like a whiteboard and flashcards. For those contemplating turning teaching online into a long-term career, it’s totally normal to worry about missing the buzz of the staffroom. Seeing colleagues each day provides much-needed inspiration, a sounding board and support base for educators. Luckily, online English teaching companies like VIPKID are home to an amazing community of teachers. On the VIPKID forum, you’ll be able to get advice and support on pretty much anything related to teaching online. Recommended reading: Are you ready to teach online? 2. Money The pay can be quite lucrative, especially if you possess a teaching license. Qualified teachers command the highest hourly rate and are in huge demand at English tutoring companies like VIPKID. By teaching as little as three hours a day, you could earn as much as $2,000 USD extra a month. Part-time online teaching is a win-win situation - you get to keep your regular teaching job and benefits and earn some extra income in the process. Bonus for full-time online English teachers: You’ll also save on transportation costs, time spent getting to and from work, buying lunch and other work-related expenses. Sign up to Teach Away today for access to the latest teaching jobs around the world. 3. Flexible working hours We’ve all got busy lives and it can be hard juggling personal and work commitments. Online teaching makes all of that so much easier. One of the main advantages of teaching online is the ability to set your own schedule. This means balancing online English teaching alongside your regular, full-time teaching job is surprisingly straightforward. You can choose to start small, teaching anywhere from a few hours and build your way up to 20 hours a week. There’s no grading or lesson planning required, just your time spent physically teaching lessons. So long as you’ve got some free time in the early mornings or evenings, it should be relatively easy to teach online for a few hours during the working week, as well as on the weekends, if you’re so inclined. If you do choose to teach online on a full-time basis, you’ll get to tailor your online teaching hours to different peak times - mornings, evenings and weekends - depending on your personal preferences. For example, if you’re more of a night owl, you might prefer to teach into the small hours of the morning and sleep later than a standard teaching job will permit. By making online teaching your primary source of income, it also means you’ll have the freedom to take vacation time when it suits you - and beat those pesky peak prices during school breaks. 4. Motivated students As educators, we all want to create a disruption-free learning environment for each and every student in our class. But motivating a class of 20 or more students to listen and remain on task is no easy feat. If you can relate to this common teaching challenge, then teaching English online with VIPKID will be a breath of fresh air for you. All lessons are conducted on a one-on-one basis, meaning you get to fully focus on your true passion - helping your students learn. Thanks to our increasingly global economy, English language skills are no longer an asset - they’re a necessity. There is no greater sense of accomplishment as a teacher than knowing that the knowledge you impart will make a positive, measurable impact on your student's future. 5. New career path? The K12 virtual schools market in North America is expected to grow by 13% per year through to 2021. Because online instruction is in the midst of a historic growth streak in the US, teaching English online with VIPKID is a great way to test the waters for a potential career transition to teaching your chosen subject online at a K12 virtual school at some point in the future. What’s more, English learners are a quickly growing segment of the student population in Canada and the US - meaning that experience teaching English language learners online can be a great addition to your resume. It’s time to make that teaching license work harder for you! Apply today to learn more about a teaching career (or part-time gig!) with VIPKID, including upcoming jobs, requirements, work environment and more.

How to Sing the National Anthem 9 Videos You Can Learn From

How to Sing the National Anthem 9 Videos You Can Learn From Sign up successful Some of them have been successful at it, and some havent. And to tell the truth, its one of the toughest songs to sing. Its wordy in its fast-moving rhythmic patterns, it requires a big range of both pitches and dynamics, and the longest-held note in the song is also the highest note. Lets take a look at some of the best Star-Spangled Banner performances as well as some not-so-great   and where each singer went wrong and right. Then,  well look at ways you can nail it yourself as you learn how to sing the national anthem! Whitney Houston Considered by many to be one of the best  Star-Spangled Banner  performances, Houstons soaring rendition (performed in 1991) is pretty exciting. Shes impeccably in tune, gives us plenty of her signature vibrato, and she lets the beauty of the words and melody shine through without distractingly excessive runs. Houston also isnt afraid to use a softer dynamic level to emphasize the meaning of certain phrases; it makes the audience listen harder, too. The legendary singer does have some facial tension that couldve been alleviated with a little self-massage. Renée Fleming Grammy-award winning opera superstar, Renée Fleming, is using all of her good training and technique here to sing a the national anthem in a  free and precise way. Her diction is great, too. But her best decision was to choose a key low enough to be comfortable enough for her to sing a dramatic high note on Oer the land of the free. Mike Eli This lead singer of the Eli Young Band, a popular country band, simply skips two lines of the song, and starts over. The bottom line? Mistakes happen. Performers blank. But what a professional does when they forget the  lyrics or another embarrassing mistake is to go on without making it completely obvious. Unfortunately, the singer here is also barely in tune and seems rushed throughout. Josh Groban Groban uses a broad range of vocal dynamics here to makes an otherwise lackluster rendition sound decent. Im not sure if he has facial tension, or if hes trying to convey emotion. Either way, he should just relax and allow spontaneous feelings to happen in the moment, instead of choreographing his face. Mariah Carey Shes known for being the best-selling female singer of all time (well-known for her five-octave vocal range) but you can hear a lot of breathiness and vocal swelling in Careys voice here (listen for the tiny moments where her voice suddenly isnt there). Toward the end of the song, when she sings, Oer the land of the free, and goes up into her signature whistle register, it seems out of place, almost as if she did it just to remind everyone that shes Mariah Carey. Christina Aguilera Aquilera is singing a cappella (and as far as I can see, she doesnt have an ear monitor). This makes it pretty tough for anyone to sing the national anthem in tune, but she does. Her higher notes seem secure and solid, albeit tight. Taylor Swift This 2008 performance of Taylor Swift isnt exactly fantastic. Theres virtually no power behind the voice and the higher notes are strained. What is fantastic, however, is that Swift doesnt aim to sound like anyone but herself, and thats important. Jennifer Hudson I consider this the gold standard of national anthem performances. Hudson doesnt start too low, and therefore breathy, as a lot of singers do. Her high notes are powerful and free, without any noticeable tension, throughout the entire song. Her vibrato is pleasant-sounding and at her command. And theres plenty of sincere drama, but she remains in control. Roseanne Barr Dont. Just dont. So, What Have We Learned? Tips for Singing the National Anthem As you learn how to sing the national anthem, keep these tips in mind: Get your physical energy up. Jumping jacks work great! Start low in your range, but not so low that youre breathy. Think about what the words mean to you. Dont just yell! Use different dynamics to your advantage. Sing a dramatic high note only if you have an emotional or lyrical reason (and its super solid!). Be yourself and dont imitate. [Editors Note: For a hilarious account of what its really like to sing the Star-Spangled Banner in front of a crowd, we love this post  by Chelsea Dyreng!] I believe that the most important keys to singing  the national anthem well are  to know your own voices capabilities and limits, and sing in your own style; its also important to match at least some of the drama behind the song. That means knowing the history behind it and keeping a high energy level up throughout the entire song. But there should be a balance. Dont let the need for a dramatic performance compromise strong and solid technique. Oh, and make sure that you know the words. Post Author:  Heather L.
