If you're planning to leave your job, mind that you don't burn any bridges on the way out thedoor. It's never good to leave a job in a bad way and without proper notice. It will take themanager time to fill your spot, and even if you haven't been treated exactly the way youshould have been, you should take the high road when leaving. It's always a bad idea to quit in a huff or to become overwhelmed and leave immediately. Hereare a list of don'ts for quitting: • Don't send your boss an e-mail and then walk out the door • Don't walk out in the middle of a workday never to return • Don't say nasty things before you go• Don't leave the company hurting as revenge for poor treatment you have received • Don't leave while the boss is on vacation • Don't leave your keys on the boss's deskThe best tactic is to leave as graciously as possible. Let your boss know you are planning toleave and give decent notice. You'll be glad you did later.

People in industrialized nations across the globe are worried aboutretirement—but they’re not doing much about it, a study by TheHartford Financial Services Group has found. The second annualinternational retirement survey by The Hartford (www.thehartford.com)polled more than 6,500 consumers age 45 and older in the UnitedKingdom, the United States, Germany, Japan and South Korea. Therespondents expressed common concerns about living comfortably andsecurely in retirement. Here are some of the findings:• In Japan, 87 percent expressed at least some concerns about havingenough money in retirement, while 52 percent said they were“extremely” or “very” concerned.• In the United States, 79 percent reported having at least someconcerns about their retirement.• In Germany, 69 percent said they had some concerns; in the UnitedKingdom, the number was 66 percent; and in South Korea, 65 percentexpressed this concern.• Despite great numbers of people reporting these concerns, few havetaken action to improve their finances for retirement in the past year.Only 30 percent reported having taken action in both Japan and SouthKorea, 38 percent in Germany, 49 percent in the United Kingdom and58 percent in the United States.• Having enough money to enjoy one’s life was reported as a keyconcern in some countries, while less so in others: 46 percent in theUnited Kingdom, 43 percent in the United States, 25 percent in Japanand only 12 percent in South Korea.• Concerns over being able to afford health care was reported at 62percent in South Korea, 30 percent in Germany, 28 percent in theUnited States, 26 percent in Japan, but only 7 percent in the UnitedKingdom where most people have access to publicly financed healthcare.• In the United States, one in two people say they plan to work in theircurrent job as long as possible, slow down but continue working, or starta business or other venture while retired.
“Around the world, adults who’ve worked their entire lives havediffering visions for what they want their retirement to look like, yetunfortunately they struggle to make that vision a reality,” said LizZlatkus, Hartford Life co-chief operating officer and president of itsinternational wealth management division. “The Hartford’s researchpoints to a tremendous need for financial education and professionaladvice about investing for long-term goals.”

Thesurvey was an attempt to gatherinformation and data from the region’s keyemployers regarding workforce needs, keyskills, and determine possible areas wheretraining could be coordinated that mightenhance hiring and economic opportunitiesin the region.“A large majority of businesses recentlysurveyed about heir workforce needsindicated that communication skills,teamwork and taking responsibility fortheir actions are all desired and necessaryskills required of their employees,” said JimBatey, director of the Somerset EconomicDevelopment Corporation, and co-chair ofthe Somerset Workforce DevelopmentTeam.In addition to rolling out results of thesurvey, John Dorrer, director for Maine’sCenter for Workforce Research andInformation will be the keynote speaker atthe breakfast.

Local Workforce Group PlanningBreakfast Forum in Skowhegan
Worrying is Not DoingAre you worrying about something you need to do? If you are worrying
about something, a project or something you need to take care of at home,
itʼs a good idea to keep in mind that merely worrying about something is not
doing something. It may sound idiotic, but reminding yourself of this
occasionally can help you work through procrastination and avoidance
when it comes to dealing with things youʼd rather just go away.
For instance, many first time job hunters make this mistake when they
graduate from college and are trying to enter the work world. They sit
around and fret about how hard it is to get a job, and they keep the focus
on the disconcerting fact that they do not know how to find a job. The truth
is of course that no one really knows how to get a job until after theyʼve
done it once or twice. New job seekers often allow themselves to feel that
by worrying, they are actually looking for a job. What theyʼre really doing is
thinking about looking for the job. And they are wearing themselves out by
participating in this very draining mental game.
The next time you find yourself worrying
instead of doing, try writing down what you
have done toward resolving your problem
or attaining your goal. In the case of job
hunters, they might see that they really
havenʼt been sending out too many
résumés or making very many phone
calls. In the same way, you can evaluate
whether you are really making
action-based efforts to achieve what
needs to be done. If you find that
instead youʼve been doing a lot of
thinking and worrying about what
you need to do, just accept it,
and promise yourself to
take at least one step
every day toward your
goal. And write it
down, so you can see
for yourself what you
have done, and
other steps you
might try.

You’ll want to answer questions to the fullest of your ability. Inorder to do this, think about what you may be asked before theinterview and prepare your answers accordingly. You may evenwant to setup a practice interview with a friend or family memberto test your skills.It is useful to have a game plan for answering. I like to use what iscalled the “STAR” approach. Do this by describing the SITUATIONthat you were in or TASK you needed to accomplish, the ACTIONyou took, focusing on yourself and your skills even if you were in agroup, and the RESULT of your actions. How did everything turn outin the end?
