This is what pregnancy in the workplace looks like

This is what pregnancy in the workplace looks likeThis is what pregnancy in the workplace looks likePregnant employees are an increasingly common sight in the workplace as more pregnant workers stay in the office until the last weeks of their term. While only 44% of women worked full-time during their pregnancies during the 1960s, the number of women working while pregnant has jumped up to almost 66% by 2008, according to a 2015 Pew Research Center report. The majority of pregnant employees today are making the choice to stay working, but as a photo series argues, the images of pregnant employees have not caught up to this reality. From 2009 to 2012, the organization Game Face, now-called Working Assumptions, found that photographs of pregnant people were missing from stock photos. You were more likely to landlandsee the focus on their unborn child in polished birth announcements and bump photos. The number of workers going about their day while pregnant welches unseen. The Showing P regnancy in the Workplace project sought to change this narrative by partnering with photograpzu sichs across America to document pregnant employees at work and off-hours. You see pregnant employees in legislatures, schools, operating rooms, offices, outdoors on ranches and in swamps. You see them busy carrying dishes, resting with swollen feet kicked up, tired with hands to faces. These are pregnant workers in their everyday lives, made visible.Ladders talked to some of the photographers and subjects involved about what these photos can tell us about what it means to be pregnant and working today.On confronting pregnancy assumptionsJulie, Professor of Occupational Therapy, Ithaca, New York / ?Andrea Modica, 2012, Andrea ModicaJulie Dorsey, a professor of occupational therapy in Ithaca, New York, and one of the subjects of the series, said her photo challenges the assumption that having a baby means you are less committed to your job. Dorsey is photographed at the end of her pregna ncy after she has completed the milestone of finishing her doctorate. Dressed in striking regalia, she stares back at the camera while holding her belly, barefoot and pregnant. I think there is an assumption as a faculty member and a scholar that you will become less productive after having a child, that there are going to be demands outside of work that will lessen your commitment to the institution, she said. For many people, myself included, my work is an important part of who I am even as a mother.Despite federal protection against discrimination, U.S. pregnant employees today still face unfair treatment. Under the 1978 Pregnancy Discrimination Act, employers must treat their pregnant employees similarly to other employees, but not necessarily well.Pregnant employees can get their requests for work accommodations denied, putting their health at risk. Their careers can also be jeopardized. After they disclose their pregnancy to bosses, employees can lose their prestigious clients , get excluded from meetings, and get fired for complaining. Federal data showsthousands of womenalleging pregnancy discrimination in America. The late Supreme Court Justice Rehnquist called this mindset the view of seeing women as mothers first, and workers second.For Cristiana Ceppas, the photographer of Neyara, a housekeeper, said that the series takes us different places, helping us see all the many ways pregnancy can and cannot impact your ability to do a job. I think there are people, maybe more men, and some women too, that would think, Oh youre pregnant, you cant do anything, but thats not true, she said. I think that people dont know sometimes how to treat you. They dont know if its okay or not. Theres a lot of tiptoeing. People are judgmental.By showing us the multitudes of ways that people juggle pregnancy and work, the photo series is a visual intervention against this limited perspective.Neyara, Housekeeper? / Cristiana Ceppas, 2012, Cristiana CeppasIn the photo series , we see women balance the physical demands of their job with the added weight of a fetus growing inside them. We do not necessarily know what accommodations these workers have been given, but we can see how pregnancy puts these workers bodies on public display. The series asks us to confront our expectations and values around pregnant people working. How long has this healthcare worker been on her feet while taking care of other people? I wondered. How many of these workers have maternity leave and for how long?During her pregnancy, Dorsey said she needed to change footwear to Ugg boots at work to accommodate her bodys changes. Those are the kind unseen challenges workers can face. That physical challenge is really incredible in terms of how pregnant employees may perhaps need to accommodate and find places to sit - or not, if they dont have supportive employers and what a challenge that can be, Dorsey said.Jenn, Elementary School Teacher / ?Tony Gonzalez, 2012, Tony GonzalezThe p hoto series also shows the quieter, more intimate moments of pregnancy. Tony Gonzalez, one of the photographers who participated in Showing, took photos of pregnant employees that contrast their professional obligations with their private routines. In his photos of Jenn, an elementary school teacher, you see her undressed, getting ready for the day, and put together at her job in front of students. That is an everyday common thing that is not always revealed, Gonzalez said about the photos. His subjects are not posed for the camera. In his photograph of Meghann, a museum membership officer, she is doing the everyday task of opening a refrigerator. This country is really hung up on the glamour to the point I feel can dangerously fetishize pregnancy and make it glamorous, Gonzalez said, noting that his goal is to show an alternative view of that, to show that this isnt set up, highly made-up produced photoshoot, this is real women looking like real women.Meghann, Museum Membership Off icer? / Tony Gonzalez, 2012, Tony Gonzalez

Itd be easy to dismiss these states as bad for employment as a whole, but each has strong job markets throughout their area, too.Just goes to show that the strength of job markets varies, not only by state but by u-bahn area, as well.How we determined the worst job markets of 2018Looking at 386 different metro areas, we ranked each 1 to 386 in three categories wage change, unemployment satz change, and current unemployment satz one being best, 386 being the worst.The average of the three numbers was then used to produce a final ranking of each metro area.

10 Tech Keywords Missing from Your New Tech Resume

10 Tech Keywords Missing from Your New Tech Resume 10 Tech Keywords Missing from Your New Tech Resume If youre looking to land a tech job for the first time, you may be concerned that your resume doesnt read as techie enough. After all, its tough to compete with industry insiders who speak and write the lingo.Luckily, there are several common buzzwords across the tech industry that can both make you look like an insider and are universal enough that youve probably already had experience with them you just dont know it yetSo without further adieu, here are 10 resume keywords that can take your tech resume to the next level, starting right nowA/B testHave you ever had a hunch about a new way of doing things?For instance, maybe you were working at a clothing store and thought If we group apparel by color, I bet it will be more eye-catching and lead to more sales. And so you actually tried an experiment where you put out a table of color-matched items right next to a traditional one an d measured which grouping sold better.If so, guess what? You already have experience with the most important technique in the entire tech industry A/B testing.Whether its Google showing different versions of its homepage to different users to find out which gets the most clicks or Uber offering different pricing to different customers to find the sweet spot, testing one hypothesis (A) against the existing version (B) is the fastest way to learn what works.So if youve already employed this methodology, be sure to take credit for it with a bullet like this A/B tested retail merchandising tactics leading to a 27% increase in sales week-over-week.CRMDoes your organization track its customers using any kind of software?If so, chances are that you already have experience with one of the most common tools in the tech world CRM (Customer Relationship Management) software. These are the platforms (typically sold by Salesforce, SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft) that sales, marketing, and customer t afelgeschirr teams use to identify prospective customers, target them with deals and offers, and serve them well once theyre onboard. Which means that, having experience with them, can give you a big leg up for roles on these teams.So if youve got experience using these tools (even if sold by a different vendor), be sure to showcase it with a resume bullet like this Managed CRM for manufacturing clients, identifying 10 existing customers who were ripe to grow, leading to $57K in incremental revenue.CTRHave you ever measured the performance of anything online?For instance, maybe you sent out an employee newsletter through Mailchimp and noticed that your newest version got more clicks than your last one? Or perhaps you put up a Facebook ad for your nonprofit that generated a lot more interest than anyone expected?If so, youre likely experienced with one of the most common measures of success in the tech world CTR (Click-Through Rate). This is a simple calculation that can apply to jus t about any digital experienceThe Number of People Who Clicked on the Experience (Ad/emaille/Webpage)The Number of People Who Saw the ExperienceWhile CTR isnt the most important number in the long-run, since tech firms want to generate long-lasting engagement and revenue (not just clicks), its a great short-term proxy for whether users are interested in something. And so if youve got that experience, be sure to flaunt it, as in this example bullet Increased the CTR on our internal employee emails from 5% to 10% within just six weeks.GTMCan you think of a time when you helped launch a new product or service?If so, youve been responsible for what the tech world likes to call GTM i.e., Go-to-Market.This phrase encapsulates all the planning and processes that go into a big launch. Everything from a high-level sales and marketing strategy all the way down to having PR response plans ready for potential crises and customer service teams trained up to handle client questions.So no matter which piece of that overall launch effort youve been responsible for in the past, be sure to list it on your resume like this Led GTM for new confectionery product, coordinating manufacturing and distribution, leading to sales of $2.3M in the first quarter of availability.MVPDid you ever throw three touchdowns in the Super just kidding. This isnt that kind of MVP. Instead, it stands for Minimum Viable Product an approach to new product development thats been all the rage in the tech world since Eric Ries published The Lean Startup back in 2011.The idea of an MVP is that, too often, tech companies spend years building a complex, fancy product, only to discover that no one wants it. So to prevent this huge amount of waste, product managers and engineers are encouraged to build only the smallest, most basic version of a new idea before bringing it to customers. That way, they can gather feedback and measure demand before they invest years and millions of dollars in improving the conce pt.And so, if youve ever built a prototype to show customers or asked for feedback from clients before something was fully polished, youve also designed an MVP. Heres an example bullet Designed MVP for new lawn mower concept, gathering feedback from 27 customers much of which went into the final, award-winning design.OKRsOK, heres an easy one Have you ever set a clear goal for yourself?As low a bar as that seems, its a huge part of how tech companies operate today. Specifically, thousands of firms from tech giants to tiny startups have embraced a planning framework called Objectives and Key Results (OKRs). Originally used by Intel, then later popularized at Google, this approach requires all employees to have a clear set of goals and target outcomes every quarter. For exampleObjective Make Google the top search engine in AmericaKey Result Google Searchs US market share should be 1 according to Comscore by March 31So if youve ever applied this same, measurable approach to evaluating your own performance, feel free to share with a bullet like this Brought on 27 new clients, outperforming OKRs by 56%.SQLAre you an Excel pro? Does the idea of running a VLOOKUP get you pumped up?If so, chances are you have what it takes to be great at one of the most universal tools of the tech trade SQL (Structured Query Language). While SQL (often pronounced see-quil) is a programming language, dont let that be a turn off. Its not only the absolute easiest one to master (compared to say Java or C++), its the most useful language for every tech worker to know, even if youre not a coder. Thats because its the way that you get information out of pretty much every database youll encounter in the tech world.For instance, if you worked at Pinterest and wanted to find out what the most pinned item in the world was, you could do that with a couple of lines of code. Or if you worked at Twitter and wanted to figure out who had the most followers, 3 minutes worth of SQL would get you the an swer. And make you look pretty badass in the processSo even if youve never used SQL before, check out Codeacademys free course. Chances are, if youre already good at Excel, youll pick it up in a couple of hours.Which will will let you apply it in your own job and write a resume bullet like this Used SQL to query the inventory database, helping to predict which items were in danger of being out of stock before the big holiday sales season.UXHave you ever spent hours making sure that your customers have a great experience online?For instance, maybe youve slaved over your organizations website, making sure it represents the high quality services your team offers? Or perhaps youve reinvented your company emails to make sure theyre easy to digest?If so, youve been focused on something that every tech company is fanatical about UX (User Experience). Thats because, in 2019, its no longer enough just to have a cool product or service. You now need to make it simple and engaging enough for c ustomers to actually want to use it. And thats where UX design comes in from understanding how customers think through 11 interviews to testing new website or app designs to measuring how quickly and easily users navigate those digital experiences and make a purchase.So even if youre not a designer by trade, you can definitely take credit for your UX-oriented approach via bullets like this one Renovated plumbing website with an eye to world-class UX, generating 10% more lead forms by removing friction from the submission process.X-functionalLets close up with one keyword that every future techie should have on their resume X-functional.Because as funky as it looks, this keyword (short for cross-functional) speaks to the highly matrixed nature of tech firms. In other words, most tech teams dont work in functional silos e.g., marketers sit with the marketing department, engineers sit with the engineering department. Instead, they typically come together on product teams (e.g., Gmail , Alexa) that require staffers from different backgrounds to collaborate.For example, if Google wants to roll out a new feature in Gmail, they need a product manager to conceive of it based on insights they get from a UX researcher. And then, a designer has to lay it out, an engineer has to build it out, and a marketer has to get the word out. All in careful coordination with each otherSo assuming youve had to work in similar setups at some point in your career, you might as well take credit for it with a bullet like this Led x-functional collaboration between HR and legal teams to establish the companys first internship program, bringing in 39 future stars for the organization.The A-B-Cs of T-E-C-HIf youre looking to break into tech, it can be easy to look at a resume bullet like this and throw up your hands in frustrationOversaw x-functional project with UX and sales teams to A/B test new CRM platform our MVP drove historic CTRs, crushing quarterly OKRs.But once you understand tha t this alphabet soup is really just common sense masquerading as top-secret insider lingo, youll also understand that you absolutely have what it takes to succeed in tech.

Military Hospital Ships

Military Hospital ShipsMilitary Hospital ShipsHospital ships provide afloat, mobile, acute surgical medical facilities when called upon to the United States military.There have been additional medical vessels serving in other roles - ambulance vessels, rescue ships, and evacuation ships. Geneva Convention Status Hospital Ships enjoy a special status - this special status was internationally recognized under the second Geneva Convention of 1906 and the Hague Convention of 1907.Specific restrictions for a hospital ship are outlined in Article four of the Hague Convention X The ship must be clearly marked and lighted as a hospital shipThe ship should give medical assistance to wounded personnel of all nationalitiesThe ship must leid be used for any military purposeThe ship must not interfere with or hamper enemy combatant vesselsBelligerents, as designated by the Hague Convention, can search any hospital ship to investigate violations of the above restrictionsBelligerents will establish the location of a hospital ship As well, the convention established that during times of war, hospital ships would be exempted from dues and taxes imposed on vessels in the ports of the states that ratify the treaty. Recently - the San Remo Manual on International Law Applicable to Armed Conflicts at Sea was adopted in June 1994 by the International Institute of Humanitarian Law after a series of round table discussions held between 1988 and 1994 by diplomats and naval and legal experts.According to the San Remo Manual, a hospital ship violating legal restrictions must be duly warned and given a reasonable time limit to comply. If a hospital ship persists in violating restrictions, a belligerent is legally entitled to capture it or take other means to enforce compliance. A non-complying hospital ship may only be fired on under the following conditions Diversion or capture is not feasibleNo other method to exercise control is availableThe violations are grave enough to allow the sh ip to be classified as a military objectiveThe damage and casualties will not be disproportionate to the military advantage. In all other circumstances, attacking a hospital ship is a war crime. U.S Military Needs in WWI During the first World War (aka The Great War), hospital ships were first used on a massive scale but in WWI, hospital ships were mainly used to transport sick and wounded military personnel from the Theaters of Operations to Hospital facilities in the United States. World War Two again saw use of hospital ships, but their use was based on who operated them - the Navy wasnt the sole branch of the United States Military to operate hospital ships, for a time the Army also operated them in fact, the Army operated a fleet of ships of its own, binnensee Ship Hull Classifications The Rest of the Armed and Uniformed Forces. U.S. Military Needs in WWII During World War II, the Army decided it was their own responsibility to transport their wounded, and so wanted t o arrange evacuation with their own ships.There were a total of 27 hospital ships in operation for the evacuation of Army casualties. The Army Transport Service operated 24 hospital ships which were manned by civilian crews (employees of the Army Transport Service) and Army medical staff, and the Navy operated 3 Hospital Ships (Comfort, Hope and Mercy) that were manned by the Navy but staffed by the Army Medical Department. However, as noted, the Navy and Army operated hospital ships with different purposes - Navy hospital ships were fully equipped hospitals designed to receive casualties direct from the battlefield and also supplied to provide logistical support to front line medical teams ashore, while Army hospital ships were essentially hospital transports intended and equipped to evacuate patients from forward area Army hospitals to rear area hospitals (or from those to the United States) and were not equipped or staffed to handle large numbers of direct battle casualties. Most of the U.S. Militarys hospital ships started out as craft with a different role, and renovated to become hospital ships. The three Navy Hospital Ships (AH-6 USS Comfort, AH-7 USS Hope and AH-8 USS Mercy) were the only vessels built as hospital ships for the U. S. Army fleet - the 24 U.S. Army-operated Hospital Ships were converted from other types of ships.The three Navy ships staffed by the Army served in the Pacific during WWII, while 24 Army ships served first in Atlantic Theaters, with some later being transferred to the Pacific, while others were decommissioned when no longer being needed for evacuation of patients from the European Theater. By the end of WWII, the Navy had 15 Hospital Ships in operation. For that matter, some Navy hospital ships were prior Army vessels.For example, when the Spanish-American War broke out 1896, the passenger ship John Englis was purchased by the United States Army for use as a hospital ship, and renamed Relief.In 1902, the Navy acquired the sh ip and operated it as USS Relief until 1918, when she was renamed to Repose to allow the name of Relief to be assigned to AH-1 USS Relief. Todays Need for Hospital Ships Though today the United States Navy operates only two dedicated hospital ships (T-AH-19USNSMercyand T-AH-20USNSComfort), hospital / medical ships of many types have been part of the United States Navy at least since 1801 (the Navy operated its first Hospital Ship during the years of the Tripolitan War 1801-1805).Both the Comfort and the Mercy are play a role in the U.S. Navys Military Sealift Command (MSC). The ships are operated, navigated, and maintained by a civil service mariner staff, or CIVMAR. These are federal government employee who pursues a civil service Navy career.These are United States government-owned ships that support the Navys warfighters around the world.The Navy command is responsible for the hospital and its staff. The USNS Comfort and Mercy normally sit pier-side with a reduced number of crew personnel.Typically there will be 18 CIVMARs and around 50 Navy hospital crew aboard to maintain the ship in a ready status. When called into action, the ships will add more than 60 CIVMARs and over a thousand military medical staff and render aid wherever needed. The USNS Mercy is based out of San Diego California. The USNS Comfort is based out of Norfolk, Virginia. Army Hospital Ships Navy Hospital Ships

How Soon Is Too Soon to Job Hunt After Starting a New Job

How Soon Is Too Soon to Job Hunt After Starting a New JobHow Soon Is Too Soon to Job Hunt After Starting a New JobYoure just starting a new job, and youre very unhappy in itwhat is the protocol around seeking a new opportunity when youre new to your current organization?Its a tricky situation, since if you leave too soon after joining a company, youll end up with a short dash on your resume reflecting a brief stint in the fleck. Such employment blips may be tough to explain to future employers- especially the more traditional ones who subscribe to the general rule that you should stay in a position for at least a year (if not two) before moving on.On the other hand, if youre feeling that a new job is a poor fit once you start doing it, there can be disadvantages to staying as well. If you feel disengaged from the get-go or recognize right away that theres a serious disconnect between you and your manager or team, it may make sense to avoid putting too much time and energy into a nega tive job experience that could lead to poor performance and other negative outcomes.Here are some considerations to help you think through whether an early departure after starting a new job is wise and warranted, or should be avoidedEarly job hopping has become common.Many statistics show that ditching a post soon after starting is now the norm. The Aberdeen Group found that a surprising number of new hires surveyed- 86%- made the decision to eventually leave during their first six months on the job. Harvard Business Review reported on a study that determined around one-third (33%) of new hires start investigating new employment options in that first half-year after joining.And the Allied Workforce Mobility Survey found that just under a quarter (23%) of new hires actually do leave their jobs less than a year after being hired. While its not necessarily a great idea to jump ship in your first six months or year of employment just because many other workers do this, the fact that th is schrift of job hopping happens so frequently means that some employers wont dock you for it (especially if you have a strong track record and they want you on their team).Your job history makes a difference.If your resume shows a solid work history up until your early departure, it may be easier to explain away the aberration. Depending on how long youve been in the job market, having at least a position or two that youve stayed in for a year or ideally longer can help show your overall tendency toward loyalty or longevity, which while not critical to all of todays employers, may still be important to some of them. If, however, your resume reveals a pattern of short-term hops, some employers may view this as a red flag, believing that it reflects poorly on your career stability, commitment, and work ethic.Completing a specific project helps.If youre unhappy with the idea of staying long-term in your new role, you may be able to strategically spin the experience into one that look s better in the eyes of your next potential employer. Instead of pulling the plug prematurely with nothing to show for your time at the company, consider identifying an initiative or project that you can complete and record as a professional accomplishment before you go. If you can quantify your work experience in terms of a specific deliverable that you gave to your customers, colleagues, and/or company, it can help showcase your ability to add value in an area of expertise- even given the short time frame.As you keep behauptung pointers in mind, be aware that in some situations, you may simply need to leave sooner than expected for your own peace of mind. If you do need to extricate yourself from a company on the early side, be sure to do so as gracefully as possible. Keep your explanation to the employer matter-of-fact and straightforward rather than emotional or negative, emphasizing job fit over complaints or finger-pointing. Set a goal to preserve your professional relationshi ps and reputation over the long haul, and take the time needed to identify a better fit the next time around.Find a job that fits your lifestyle Browse Open Flexible Jobs

Types of Sales Pitches and Presentations

Types of Sales Pitches and Presentations Types of Sales Pitches and Presentations Different situations will call for a different type of pitch, or sales presentation. In some circumstances, a full-bore sales pitch is inappropriate and will be more likely to annoy or offend a prospect than engage him. As a rule of thumb, the less of a relationship youve built with a given prospect, the easier you should go with regards to selling. The Elevator Pitch When you first meet a potential customer, the only pitch you should make is an elevator pitch. Thats a quick speech that introduces yourself and your company and provides a benefit or two. A good elevator pitch is designed to leave the prospect wanting to know more about your product. That way hell be the one to ask you for more information, instead of you having to ask him for permission to proceed. An elevator pitch is a good way to introduce yourself even when youre not actively pursuing a sale, particularly at networking events and similar functions. The elevator speech can also be used as the opening phrase during a cold call. But once you have piqued the prospects interest, you should then move on to a more information-rich pitch. The cold call pitch is longer than the elevator pitch, but its still intended to intrigue the prospect rather than to immediately close a sale. Ideally, your cold call pitch will give the prospect enough information that hell want to proceed to an appointment with you, but no more than that. Too much information too early in the sales cycle can actually hurt you, because the prospect may decide hes heard enough to know that hes not interested after all. The Full Sales Presentation Finally, once you have a prospect sitting down with you for a sales appointment, its time to pull out all the stops and give a full sales presentation. By this point, youve spoken with the prospect at least once before and have had time to ask him some pertinent questions and to do some research. You should now be aware of the prospects hot buttons â€" his most important issues and needs with regard to your product. If you try to give a full sales presentation without that information, youre shooting blind because you dont know which benefits matter most to the prospect. The other danger of giving a long presentation early in your relationship with a prospect is lack of trust. When you speak with a prospect, you are always facing the negative stereotype that nearly everyone holds about salespeople. Consciously or unconsciously, each prospect expects salespeople to launch immediately into a self-serving attempt to close the deal. If you hold off on your sales push during the first conversation or two, you diminish that stereotype a bit. The Cold Call Pitch Your elevator pitch will be roughly the same no matter what the occasion, but your cold call pitch will tend to vary slightly depending on the prospect and your full sales presentation should change quite a bit depending on the information youve picked up from the prospect. You can simplify your presentation-building by drawing up a basic outline that you can flesh out by plugging in the right language for each new prospect. The presentations basic structure will remain the same throughout, making it easier for you to customize your pitch without having to start from scratch each time. Make the Most Out of Your Presentation Each of these types of sales pitches is a critical tool for salespeople. The precise style of your pitches will vary based on the type of product you sell and on your intended customer base. Keep in mind that even the perfect pitch should be revised on a regular basis because saying the same words in the same way for too long will start to sound rehearsed. Periodic tweaking can also help you to uncover more effective ways to get and keep a prospects attention.

How Cooperative Advertising Can Promote Your Business

How Cooperative Advertising Can Promote Your Business How Cooperative Advertising Can Promote Your Business If you run a small business, you won’t have the huge advertising budgets of large corporations. You also don’t have the kind of bargaining power to get deals on media space, or price breaks on production costs and professional services. However, when a group of small businesses get together to form an advertising partnership, they can pool their resources and get a much wider reach and penetration. This is known in the industry as cooperative advertising, and it can be a cost-effective way to advertise a business that has a small marketing budget. Cooperative Advertising- The Basics… In laymen’s terms, cooperative advertising is simply a way for two or more businesses to join together in a mutually beneficial partnership to promote their brands. They share the advertising costs, including media and production, and share the space. Pros of Cooperative Advertising Let’s look at the upside of advertising in this way: Reduced costs. Whether it’s two businesses working together, or 10, the result is a much smaller investment to get the same number of advertising impressions. From billboards and bus shelter ads to digital campaigns and radio, you get the same reach for less money.Greater exposure. The more money you have to spend on a campaign, the more people you can reach. When you are pooling your money with another business (or businesses), you can pay for advertising mediums that generate a much bigger footprint. Instead of that small billboard tucked behind a bunch of trees, you’re getting a massive board on a major highway exit. Mutual prosperity. There’s an old saying; a rising tide lifts all boats. This can definitely be true when dealing with cooperative advertising campaigns. Separately, the outcomes of two different campaigns would have been ok. But together, both parties benefit from the union of the two brands. Cons of Cooperative Advertising There are also some downsides to co-op marketing: Less visibility. When you’re in a cooperative ad you’re sharing the same space, and time, with other brands. Instead of the focus being on you, it’s on multiple brands, and that can be off-putting to some small business owners.A lot of cooks in the kitchen. Advertising can be hard enough to do when only one company is involved. But add in other businesses, with conflicting ideas on messaging and target audience, and you can have a recipe for disaster. You must test the water and see if you can work well together before committing to a co-op ad. Conflicting messages. Brands that do cooperative advertising well do so because they have a shared audience and similar products or services (burgers and Coke go together beautifully). You can’t be the owner of a gym and expect to create a cohesive ad with the pizza joint next door.Branding limitations. Different brands have different standards, and this can cause some major conflicts. For example, Disney does not want to see any R-rated movies alongside its own movie offerings. This can make it tricky for companies like Netflix, HBO, Hulu and others to do promotions featuring Disney product. Make sure you will not be stepping on the toes of your partner’s brand, and vice versa. Examples of Cooperative Advertising If you’ve ever seen billboards featuring McDonald’s and Coca-Cola products, that’s a major piece of cooperative advertising. Most likely McDonald’s paid the lion’s share of the invoice as the board is overwhelmingly branded with red and yellow, a Big Mac meal, and perhaps even an arrow directing you to the nearest restaurant. BUT, Coca-Cola helps offset the bill and gets prominent placement on the ad. Everyone’s a winner. In another example, four small businesses want to create a circular for an upcoming event- let’s say Black Friday. They are all based in the same town, in the same strip mall, but none of these businesses has the cash on hand to create and print the piece. In this case, they all benefit from cooperative advertising. Each business gets a share of the circular, and they all get in front of a lot more consumers than if they had tried to do it on their own. If you are planning to engage in cooperative advertising, pick your partner carefully and make sure the outcome will be beneficial for both parties. Also, look at the real estate and see if one party should be paying more than the other, especially if they are getting more exposure and better placement on the campaign materials.

5 Tips to Help You Make Better Presentations That Will Excite Your Audience

5 Tips to Help You Make Better Presentations That Will Excite Your Audience 5 Tips to Help You Make Better Presentations That Will Excite Your Audience Business presentations are an important part of everyday working life. Done right, they’re an excellent way to bring information and ideas to life. Done wrong, they have the potential to send your audience to sleep. Here are 5 steps to help you make your presentations more exciting and keep your audience alert and engaged. 1. Know what you want to communicate Ask yourself:  what makes your audience attend? What are they hoping to get from your presentation? Then make up your mind about what information you want to convey. Finally, see where these two intersect and stick to those key points. When looking to deliver what you set out to do, make sure your talk has a beginning, a middle and an end. Your slides will usually contain multiple points. Highlight one or two key messages you want your audience to take home, for example by putting a red text box around a key point when designing the slide in PowerPoint. And remember, it’s better to finish early than to overrun. Keep it under 20 minutes (unless you’re a keynote speaker) and leave time for questions at the end. 2. Engage your audience Before you launch into your presentation, it’s important to establish a relationship with your audience. Acknowledge your audience first up, e.g. ask if people can hear you. You can also pepper your presentation with rhetorical questions, such as “and what conclusions can we draw from this?” or “how do we know this is true?” Leave time for questions and clarification at the end so people feel ownership of the material. Start strong and own your space as you take the floor. Stand up straight, lean forward and talk with confidence. Finally, try to play with pitch, volume and pace to maintain the audience’s interest. Use gestures, rather than standing stock still, but keep them controlled. READ THIS: How to Start Networking? 15 Pick-up Lines That’ll Boost Your Confidence 3. Give your audience mental breaks by interacting If you’re interacting with your audience â€" rather than delivering a monologue â€" they are more likely to actively listen and remember what you’re saying. Take a break now and again to check in with your audience; it gives them a brief mental break and helps them connect with you. Audience response systems (ARS), like CLiKAPAD, can be an excellent tool to keep your audience’s attention focused on what’s happening on stage or ‘wake up’ a crowd during PowerPoint presentations. Whether you’re presenting to a training seminar, a business meeting, a QA session, workshop or conference, starting out with a group activity using an ARS can also prove to be a great ice breaker. Participants can give instant feedback anonymously and honestly using a credit card sized keypad. They can vote, share opinions, take quizzes, polls and brainstorm ideas. ARS technology can also enable the presenter to check knowledge levels on a topic before training starts and test understanding afterwards. Use the feedback to immediately flash up, embedded in your Powerpoint presentation, as a graph in your chosen style and share the results with your audience. 4. Don’t just read out the slides Don’t be tempted to read your slides out word for word, or pack them with too many bullet points. Much better to use them as a memory aid, then add what you think and feel about the subject. Slides should support what you are saying, not outline the entire presentation. Think of ways to communicate in other ways than just using text. Use visuals to aid understanding â€" graphs, drawings, charts, illustrations and photographs are all great ways to enliven a presentation. Video clips are also an excellent way to keep your audience alert. 5. Harness the power of neuroscience Stronger, more enduring memories are formed in the brain when a person is relaxed and when the neurons in the brain connected with memory fire in sync with certain brain waves. This means it is really helpful to try and relax yourself and your audience early on. Plan your talk around a few key points and practise it out loud. You could serve tea and coffee beforehand to get your audience feeling alert and in a good mood. Once you’ve started, use plenty of eye contact and smile; perhaps kick off with a story or a personal anecdote to help form an emotional bond with your audience. The idea is to aim for high levels of the neurotransmitters â€" chemical messengers that connect your body and brain â€" to create a kind of energised calm. Too much stress can trigger the stress hormone cortisol, which can block creativity and inhibit information retention. Share Your Feedback or Ideas in the Comments!

Feeling the Heat 5 Reasons a Summer Job Search Is Worth It

Feeling the Heat 5 Reasons a Summer Job Search Is Worth It Feeling the Heat 5 Reasons a Summer Job Search Is Worth It Ahh, summer. It’s a time for long, lazy days at the beach, sipping colorful drinks, and just relaxing. That is, unless you’re  in a summer job search.   There’s a myth that pervades the job market that companies simply don’t hire during the summer. As such, many job seekers slow down (or worse, stop) their searches and resume them come fall. But job searching in the summer can be just as good- and sometimes better- than searching during any other time of the year. Here are five reasons why a summer job search is worth it: 1. There’s less competition. Remember what we said about some people falsely believing that there are no job opportunities during the dog days of summer? Well, there are, and if job hunters are not applying for positions, that means there’s less competition for you, according to the US News article, “5 Reasons to Keep Your Job Hunt Alive in the Summer.” It can be difficult to job search while your friends are enjoying summer vacations, but taking advantage of the timing of your job search- and capitalizing on the fact that fewer job seekers are applying for jobs- means you have a greater chance of getting the job you want. 2. It can be easier to get informational interviews. During the summer, things naturally tend to slow down. Employees take vacations, summer Fridays come into effect- people are just more relaxed. That’s what makes it a great time to score some informational interviews. While some people might moan at the idea of having to go in for an informational interview (and not a regular job interview), there’s no denying the many benefits of them. Not only do you get a glimpse of the inner workings of a company, but they are a great way to make new connections, possibly meet your next mentor, and also get your foot in the door should a job opportunity that matches your skill set come up in the future. So target a few companies that you’d like to work for and reach out to the person whom you’d like to make a connection with. You’re much more likely to get a yes to an informational interview during the summer than during the fall, when things can become much busier. 3. It gives you perspective. You’ve been job hunting for so long for one specific type of job that you feel you’re on job hunting autopilot. Take some time between writing cover letters to really assess your situation. Are you searching for a job that you really want, or are you continuing on in a career path that you outgrew two jobs ago? Figure out what type of job would make you happy (along with the type of workplace flexibility you need) and then tailor your search to meet those needs. Chances are, your job searching success will improve dramatically. 4. You can improve your technique. Like anything else, a job search is a skill that you learn on the job- no pun intended. But like any skill, there are always ways to perfect it and make it better. Go over the various parts of your job search and see what needs a little improvement. (You probably know where your strengths- and weaknesses- are.) Maybe your resume is a little tired and needs a redesign. Or perhaps you tend to apply for positions that are slightly beyond your skill set- but you hope the hiring manager won’t notice. See where you can make some modifications and do so. It might mean hiring a resume writer, or going back to school to get some much-needed certifications. But remember that everything you do towards finding a great flexible job is an investment in yourself, and well worth the effort. 5. Networking can be less stressful. Let’s face it: not many people really love networking. But as a job seeker, networking can really help you make the connections that will open doors to a new job. Thing is, you don’t have to don your interview/informational interview/networking suit and hit the circuit to find new contacts. Think outside the box and take advantage of the summer months to grow your network. Since you’ll most likely be outside more during the summer, get chummy with the parents at your kids’ swim meets, the neighbors during the annual summer block party, or even frequent some of the local hotspots in your area to find new friends- and find out what they do. When you think about it, a summer job search  simply makes a whole lot of sense. So resist the urge to halt your search and ramp it up instead. You never know; you might start a brand-new job (as opposed to starting your job search all over again) come September. Readers, are you guilty of slowing down your summer job search, or do you keep searching? Let us know in the comments below!

The Importance of Book Jackets

The Importance of Book Jackets The Importance of Book Jackets Most readers do indeed judge a book at least in part by its cover, which is why major book publishers have whole departments and many, many meetings dedicated to their creation.   Judging a Book by Its Cover- the Jackets Importance to Book Sales The book jacket is a sales tool, inviting readers to the text, telling them much about what they will find on the pages between the covers. Despite the adage, the book jacket generally broadcasts to the consumer much about the book, ideally casting it in the best light possible to draw in its target readers. Whether its in the mystery novel genre, a serious nonfiction tome, a romance or a cookbook, the reader should be able to ascertain book genre and the tone of the book from taking a quick gander at the front of the book jacket. Of course, the potential reader should also be able to clearly read the title of the book. Read All About Book Titles, Starting With What Makes a Good Book Title In addition to whats typically on the front cover, the details of the plot, an idea of what some others think about the book, the biography of the author are additional pieces of information that can be found on the other parts of the book jacket- the back and the flaps- once the book is picked up off the shelf (or clicked on). Making Book Jackets- The Process in Brief In a traditional publishing house, the book jacket design process generally happens in tandem with much of the editorial and production processes of the book  and starts months- even a year or more- in advance of publication. It is because the book jacket needs to be included in the book publishers seasonal or specialty sales materials, such as catalogs (which are used by the sales representatives to sell the book into bookstores, gift stores, libraries, etc.) or BLADs or ARCs. Its obvious from the catalog when there hasnt been a resolution about the book jacket- the books page will have a blank box with the book title or a large author portrait photo. (Given the importance of the jacket in wooing book buyers, this is not a desirable situation.)In a traditional publisher, a designer on staff in the cover art department or a freelance designer who has been engaged for the purpose gets early access to any information or materials available on the book (manuscript, synopsis, etc.). From those materials and discussions with the books editor, the designer develops concepts for the cover.Then, generally, the books editor, the editorial director, and the publisher will weigh in on the different concepts and narrow the choices. Often, theres a weekly cover art meeting in which the art department presents jacket concepts and invites discussion about the dozens-to-hundreds of books that are being produced throughout the year.If youre an author being published by a traditional publishing house, dont count on having a lot of say on your book cover. Most editors want their authors to buy-in to their own book cover design so that you might be consulted at some point in the process. But this is typically a courtesy extended by a thoughtful and responsible editor. Unless youre a bestselling or high-profile author, your contract will not likely entitle you to cover approval, and the final say on the book jacket design will rest with the publisher or someone on the publishing or editorial staff.Once pretty much everyone is happy with the concept, the jacket is fully designed and released for purposes of promotion on online bookseller sites (like Amazon.com, which gets a feed of pre-publication book details), seasonal publisher catalogs, etc.It is not uncommon for a jacket to be changed after the designs are shown, or the book is announced in a catalog. When the book is being sold in to stores pre-publication, the bookstore buyers opinions can do much to sway a publisher into changing a jacket. As buyers- especially buyers from major accounts, such as Barnes Noble- are extremely well-versed in what their customers generally respond to, they may have a strong opinion about a jacket, especially if there are high sales expectations for the book. The buyer has a lot of clout, so its not uncommon for a jacket to be modified because buyers reacted negatively to the original concept.

Salary and Job Outlook: The BLS estimated that the average salary of a human resources specialist as  of May 2017 was $60,350. The BLS expected that jobs in the field would grow by 7% through 2026, about as fast as average for all occupations. 7. Business Reporter The proliferation of financial and business media has opened up opportunities for communications majors with an interest in business and finance. Business reporters tap journalistic writing skills to cover developments within businesses, industry and the economy in general for websites, television stations, newspapers, and magazines. They must be able to convey business information in language  understandable by the general public. In order to cover stories, business  reporters  use the interpersonal skills developed by the communications major to cultivate relationships with business  insiders. They must have the persuasive ability to convince editors about the viability of their ideas for articles. Salary: Payscale estimates that business reporters earn an average of $45,500. 8. Health Educator Health educators  assess the health-related problems and needs of a target population and formulate programs to address those issues. A key component of their work is understanding the attitudes and perceptions of their constituents regarding health concerns. They must develop and present workshops and seminars geared toward their audience. Health educators produce web content and literature that will appeal to their constituents. Organizational and event planning skills are essential when orchestrating and promoting health fairs and other programs. Verbal communication skills are critical when advising students, employees, or the general public in one-on-one sessions. Salary and Job Outlook: The BLS estimated that health educators earned an average of $53,940 as  of May 2017. Jobs for health educators and community health workers were projected to grow by 16% through 2026, much faster than average for all occupations. 9. Brand Manager Brand managers  oversee the positioning of products and services within the publics consciousness. They analyze consumer reactions to their products based on factors such as price, consumer experience, packaging, and accessibility. Brand managers supervise the development of communication-intensive campaigns including advertising, promotion, and public relations to enhance sales.   Brand managers must have the interpersonal and communication skills to engender the cooperation of other sales, marketing, and advertising partners. The critical eye of the communications major is needed to evaluate ads, commercials, and other marketing copy. Salary: According to Payscale, brand managers earn an average of $69,770. 10. Sales Representative Most communications majors wont be thinking of  sales  as an eventual career when they enter college. However, they will learn many skills while studying communications that can lead to a successful and lucrative career in sales. Communications majors learn to assess the preferences of an audience just as a salesperson must be able to anticipate the needs of her customers. The verbal, written and wider  communication skills mastered through the major will equip the  salesperson  to devise and deliver the right pitch to various types of consumers or businesses. Salary and Job Outlook: Compensation in the field varies greatly by the area of sales focus.  For example, the BLS estimated that wholesale/manufacturing salespersons earned an average of $69,770 as  of May 2017, securities salespersons earned $63,780, while retail salespersons earned only $23,370. The BLS estimated that employment opportunities for wholesale sales and securities salespersons would experience average growth through 2026  of 5-6%.

Improve Recruiting With Data Driven Decision Making

Improve Recruiting With Data Driven Decision Making Improve Recruiting With Data Driven Decision Making Sometimes when you look at a resume, you just know this will be an awesome candidate. And sometimes, when you first talk with a candidate, theres an immediate spark and you connect, and you think this person is a perfect fit for your company. And sometimes, youre right. That person who is a master resume writer and who immediately clicked with your personality is the best thing since sliced bread. Other times? It all falls flat. If youre lucky, you figure that out before the person comes on board. If youre unlucky, you hire the candidate, she leaves her previous job, and now youre stuck with an employee who either lacks skills or is a bad cultural fit for your group. Can Data Driven Decision Making Improve Your Hiring Success Odds? Can you improve your hiring odds with data-driven decision making? You can. Dr. John Sullivan, a talent management expert and professor, took a look at how  HR can improve by using data analytics.  Many of his suggestions are directly applicable to improving your recruiting and your hiring. When you use analytics, you can find, interpret, and communicate meaningful patterns in data that will help you improve your performance. Specifically, you can use data to improve your recruiting practices and decision making. Following are several of Dr. Sullivans main recommendations about using data analytics to help your organization improve recruiting and hiring. Use Data Analytics to Increase the Speed of Hiring Recruiters are often judged by how fast they can fill a position, but its not just the recruiters goals that matter. Every day that a position remains unfilled, work isnt being done- or other people are approaching burnout as they try to handle additional workloads. Additionally, every time you interview yet another candidate, youre not doing the other work in your own job. For a recruiter, well, interviewing is her job. For the hiring manager, though, her job is decidedly not interviewing. She needs to get back to work, preferably with a fully staffed team. For hiring, use analytics that shows where the hiring process is most and least productive. What skills does this position need? What is the right ratio of management to individual contributors? Additionally, when looking at candidates, take emotion out of the picture and look at what skills the candidates have. Can you develop analytics that helps you identify the skills in job candidates? Design Your Recruiting Systems to Attract the Best Innovators Effectively With the economy currently buzzing, there are more openings than there are new hires each month. It is great for job candidates and a headache for recruiters. They have more jobs to fill than they have quality candidates with which to fill them.  Ian Cook, at Visier, advises recruiters to take advantage of their applicant tracking system (ATS)  and integrate that  data into the larger HRIS. He points out that most ATSs dont provide the analytics needed. What a recruiter wants to know, more than the cost of hire, is the effectiveness of that hire once he or she is performing the job. But, this information is generally kept in a different system. The recruiter hires and then moves on to the next candidate, without real information about how the last new hire performed in the job. If you can combine this information, you get valuable insights into how you can hire more effectively. For instance, what skills have been successfully applied? Are you eliminating quality candidates because they dont have the picture  perfect skills listed in the job description  when those skills are not an indicator of success one the employee is on the job? You cannot do your jobs  effectively if you dont have feedback.  While a recruiter is likely to hear back from a client if a new hire is an unmitigated disaster, shes less likely to hear if the candidate is simply okay, pretty good, or even fantastic. In many companies, especially large ones, a recruiter may be sourcing 50 or more positions at once. Hiring managers only have contact with a recruiter when she is filling a vacancy for them. So the communication stops once a new hire starts work. The result? No feedback for the recruiter and no ability to help the recruiter improve in recruiting and hiring. Providing your recruiters with analytics about their new hires can close this loop. What Works and What Doesnt? Everyone loves big job boards. You cant listen to a podcast without an advertisement for Zip Recruiter appearing, but do programs like Zip Recruiter work? How many quality new hires did you get from attending that job fair?  Is your employee referral program effective  at bringing in new candidates? How do those candidates perform in comparison to those found through other methods? When youre willing to look at the actual data from these various recruiting activities you may find that where youre spending your time and money isnt giving you the best bang for your buck. Are you sending recruiters to college fairs at great expense to recruit candidates similar to the ones you can find at the local college and yet not giving bonuses to employees who refer their former colleagues?  What programs are most effective  and which programs can you eliminate? Smart HR departments will look at the actual numbers and allocate staff time and energy accordingly. Are You Looking at Employee Exit Costs? Recruiters think about hiring new people, but HR leaders need to think about the big picture. Its cheaper (often) to retain a quality employee than to search out a new one.  Use an ROI model for recruiting and retention. What programs work to keep high performers? What programs are less effective? Many companies set up limits on compensation decisions like raises and salary band jumps, but then will hire people with a  big sign on bonus  to get top candidates. You need to take a look at those numbers and decide what is the most effective use of your budgets. Finance and marketing and manufacturing all have analytics to show what is most effective. Does HR present the same kind of information when asking for increased budgets or executive training programs? Or, is HR trying to fly blind? Remember, the CEO most likely comes from a numbers background. Youll be able to make your case much more effectively if you can speak her language. Coming in with, “this will help develop our pipeline” is all fine and good, but coming in with “this will reduce turnover among high performers by X percent and save $Y dollars per year is much better. Refine Your Hiring Criteria Like looping recruiters back in on how a new employee performs, you need to take a look at what criteria predict success. Google found, for instance,  that those brain teaser questions (How many plumbers are there in Peoria?) dont predict the success of an employee. So, they removed them. However, old habits die hard, according to a Quartz article, and many managers stick with them, even though they dont work. You want to make sure that not only do your recruiters know what works and what does not work, but that your hiring managers know as well. Remember, many hiring managers only hire a new employee once a year- or even less often. If the recruiter isnt keeping them up to date on the best way to hire, who will be? You live in a data-driven world. HR would be wise to adopt analytics that can give good insight into what works and what doesnt. Not only will it make HR more effective, but it will also allow HR to speak with the key decision makers in a language they all speak: Data. - Suzanne Lucas is a freelance writer who spent 10 years in corporate human resources, where she hired, fired, managed the numbers, and double-checked with the lawyers.

They are leaders of some of the most prestigious brands in the world, like Apple, Twitter, and Starbucks. And what they all have in common outside of working out is having tremendous career success.Good advice for career success is typically under the umbrella of finding something you’re passionate about, working for a great mentor, or focusing on adding value before money. It’s all great career advice, and all of it is the cornerstone of excelling in any career.Before any of that though, before even thinking about what career to pursue, I started d oing something more powerful. When I turned 18, I started working out. And though I played sports, working out was the first time I had been able to structure some sort of discipline and consistency into my life. It was the first time I saw the powerful results of sticking with something.What is the relationship between working out and career success? Simple, your body is the vehicle that does it all.Getting to and from the office, delivering quality work for your clients and/or boss. It’s ultimately what generates your income. You could (and should) invest in career coaches, finding a mentor, or getting good at something but it all starts out with how well you take care of yourself. If there’s anything to invest in, first and foremost, it’s your body. It’s the foundation that actually drives all the rest. And it doesn’t cost a dime, it’s just dedication and effort. Investing in your body means investing in your health, which allows you to work longer hours tirelessly, b e more productive, and be more confident.If your career success is driven by taking care of your body, why wouldn’t you want to be fit?How exercise increases productivity and focus“How do you become more productive?”A very successful business man, one who had created over 300 companies, leads 50,000 employees and generated over $25 billion dollars in revenue, sat back and thought. Twenty people peered over, eagerly awaiting his response to perhaps one of the biggest questions in business.“I work out.”That successful business man is Richard Branson. He added that it gave him an additional 4 hours of productivity a day. Of course, you may have heard this story from Tim Ferriss’s book, the 4-Hour Body.Though this advice is coming from one of the most successful businessmen on the planet, there’s also science to support it.Wendy A. Suzuki, professor of neuroscience and psychology at New York University, writes that exercise helps to combat stress and elevate your focus. Th is in turn helps to make you more productive, and give you more energy.We all need it. Lets’s face it, the 9 to 5 is dead. We all work harder and longer hours than ever before. And if that’s not enough to convince you, here are some hard numbers. The Journal of Labor Research released a study citing that employees who exercises on a frequent basis earned 5 to 10% more than their peers.How exercise increases confidence and your attractivenessAttractive people get paid more than unattractive people, according to labor economist Daniel Hamermesh. In his book, Beauty Pays: Why Attractive People Are More Succesful, Hamermesh notes that attractive people get paid $230,000 more in earnings over the course of a lifetime.The good news is that that exercise provides a counter measure. Exercise can influence your body composition, which in turn makes you more attractive. You don’t have to be Brad Pitt or Kate Winslet if you just hit the gym on a consistent basis.You know what else makes you more attractive?Confidence.One avenue to gaining more confidence is through exercise. The American Psychological Association released an article showing a high correlation between mood enhancement and exercise. On a more practical level, working out shows you what you can achieve through hard work and makes you look better too. All of the above add to increasing your self-esteem and overall confidence. It certainly did for me when I was first started working out at 18.How do I get fit and catapult my career?After seeing all the benefits of being fit it’s a question that you might be asking yourself. And there are a lot of things that you can do to get started today on getting fit and using that momentum to carry it into your career. Whether you’re in a slump, just getting started, or know what you’re doing but have fallen off the wagon a little bit.Burpees.It’s a simple, effective exercise that you can do at anytime and anyplace. You can do as many as you’d like in a c ertain time frame or shoot for a certain number of repetitions. You can do them before work, after work, or maybe at lunch (as long as you don’t get too sweaty).If that isn’t your cup of tea, go for a run. Walk, if anything.It’s tough to get motivated to do exercise after a long day or get up a few minutes earlier to do it. I enjoy working out and it’s still tough. This thought might help though: think about that 5 to 10% or $230k someone else might be getting if you don’t!close dialogAdvertisement Time left in video: 0:00 left out of / Play/Pause Video Mute/Unmute Video close dialog/* effects for .bx-campaign-1012255 *//* custom css .bx-campaign-1012255 */.bx-custom.bx-campaign-1012255.bx-type-agilityzone .bx-close { z-index: 2;}@-ms-keyframes bx-anim-1012255-spin { from { -ms-transform: rotate(0deg); } to { -ms-transform: rotate(360deg); } } @-moz-keyframes bx-anim-1012255-spin { from { -moz-transform: rotate(0deg); } to { -moz-transform: rotate(360deg); } } @-webkit-keyframes bx-anim-1012255-spin { from { -webkit-transform: rotate(0deg); } to { -webkit-transform: rotate(360deg); } } @keyframes bx-anim-1012255-spin { from { transform: rotate(0deg); } to { transform: rotate(360deg); } } #bx-close-inside-1012255 { top: 0; right: 0; } / * KD - Remove padding from video wrapper and set height to 100% */.bx-custom.bx-campaign-1012255 .bx-row-video .bx-video-wrapper { padding-top: 0!important; height: 100%;}.bx-custom#bx-campaign-1012255 #bx-creative-1012255 .bx-wrap { height: auto;}/* KD - Change positioning to static as that was not necesaary and here you can adjust the height of the video element */.bx-custom.bx-campaign-1012255 .bx-row-video .bx-video-wrapper video { position: static;}/* rendered styles .bx-campaign-1012255 */.bxc.bx-campaign-1012255.bx-active-step-1 .bx-creative *:first-child {width: 100%;}.bxc.bx-campaign-1012255.bx-active-step-1 .bx-creative {background-color: transparent;border-style: none;max-width: 900px;}.bxc.bx-campaign-1012255.bx-active-step-1 .bx-close {stroke: white;background-color: black;border-style: solid;border-color: white;border-width: 1px;}.bxc.bx-campaign-1012255 .bx-group-1012255-AFvXBOB {padding: 10px;display: block;width: auto;}.bxc.bx-campaign-1012255 .bx-elemen t-1012255-J0EiS8Y {width: auto;}.bxc.bx-campaign-1012255 .bx-element-1012255-J0EiS8Y *:first-child {padding: 2px 4px;font-size: 10px;color: rgb(255, 255, 255);text-transform: uppercase;background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.34);}
