The following is a presenation that discusses possible ways to handle people at work who are just plain nasty to be around. Hopefully these tips will help you out if you are dealing with this in the workplace. Who Am I….I am a hardworking guy who, like many others, found himself out of work during the economic downturn in 2010. After a long battle of wrong turns, job search strategies that led to no where, and dead end leads, I decided to take a more strategic approach to my job search. Like anything else in life, I needed to treat my search like a full-time job and create a plan that would allow me to stand out above the competition. This came in especially handy as I was in transition again in 2017. Basically, I just used the tips that I have shared with others and was out of work a total of ZERO days. Yes, I got a job offer the day after my last day at my previous job. Let me show you how I did it so you too can have a quicker landing than you would have had without my tips. Why Am I Sharing What Helped Me…because I quickly realized that to handle an event like that is to focus on what you can control and share the experience to help others. I believe that an experience not shared is a lost opportunity in life, and that smart people learn from their mistakes and smarter people learn from other people’s experiences. Plus, I told myself that once I figured this out I would share it with others so that they too could navigate the world of unemployment. In these chapters, I show you how I did it so that you will have the confidence to make it through the process. I hope that this presentation helps you to get your next great job. #career #job_search #job_opportunity_tips #unemployment #motivation #attitude #depression #Job_search_survival #confidence #interviewing #networking #resume #recruiting #hiring_manager #work #transition

1. Getting The Upper Advantage No Matter The Odds
By: Anthony Hines

2. Who Am I….I am a hardworking guy who, like many others, found himself out of work
during the economic downturn in 2010. After a long battle of wrong turns, job search
strategies that led to no where, and dead end leads, I decided to take a more strategic
approach to my job search. Like anything else in life, I needed to treat my search like a
full-time job and create a plan that would allow me to stand out above the competition.
This came in especially handy as I was in transition again in 2017. Basically, I just used
the tips that I have shared with others and was out of work a total of ZERO days. Yes, I
got a job offer the day after my last day at my previous job. Let me show you how I did it
so you too can have a quicker landing than you would have had without my tips.
Why Am I Sharing What Helped Me…because I quickly realized that to handle an event
like that is to focus on what you can control and share the experience to help others. I
believe that an experience not shared is a lost opportunity in life, and that smart people
learn from their mistakes and smarter people learn from other people’s experiences.
Plus, I told myself that once I figured this out I would share it with others so that they
too could navigate the world of unemployment. In these chapters, I show you how I did
it so that you will have the confidence to make it through the process. I hope that this
presentation helps you to get your next great job.

5.  The next group of slides will discuss things that I believe you
could do to help you deal with co-workers who can just be
downright nasty. Multiple people have asked me to create a
power point on this subject so here goes.
 I will tell you the tip or idea and let you know why I like it to
help you in dealing with the process.
 Remember, I am by no means a professional and never claim to
be. I am just giving you things as I see them to help you to see
through the ‘fog’ and get ahead in your career.
 I hope my ideas help you out and help me to end unemployment
one person at a time.

6.  Let me start by saying that there is no place in
ANY workplace for people who are bullies or
who think that intimidating behavior is ok or is
motivating or their right.
 Frankly, it is not. That said, much to my dismay,
some people are just really not part of any
solution and instead are part of the problem. If
you find that the person is not willing to work
with you, it is ok to just move on and stop
trying. Not everyone, wants to be fixed or is
interested in you fixing them.

7.  This is for YOU to understand. The workplace is not
meant to be a family and there is no written rule that
everyone you work with has to be your friend.
 It is a place where people are bought together to do a
job. You grew up with your friends. The ones who
understand you from childhood and who you relate to.
Your co-workers should not have that expectation to
you.
 They are acquaintances that happen to work in the same
environment for a common goal that were hired by
other people who really have their own perception of
what relationships are about.

8.  There are some people that I have found to be just
not into what I am about and who see very little
value in either what I am offering or my interests or
what kind of person I am. No matter how much I
tried, they are just not engaging. When I find people
like that, it is on me to know when it is time to stop
trying so hard and realize that there will not be a
connection. It is not a failure. It is a fact so I limit
any communication with that person other than
work related topics. You have to see the signals and
go with that sometimes. It is not your call, how
someone wants to relate to you. It’s ok.

9.  Now, sometimes a person can seem angry
or just in a bad mood all the time because
they just don’t believe that anyone cares
about the company as much as they do so
they just seem somber.
 Show that person that you are just as
passionate about the company and their
product and watch them light up. See if that
helps.

10.  Everyone has a passion. Something that
they love and really care about. What I do is
I spend some time and talk with that person
about what they love and when I see an
article about that passion, I email them the
link to that article. It shows, you listened
and remembered. Sometimes people just
want to feel that they are listened to and
when it happens, they become different.

11.  I always see if I can trust a person by telling
them a “secret” which is something that I
don’t really care if it gets out because if it
does, after I made it clear that it was
confidential and it got out, I know not to tell
this person something important. Better to
find out that way instead of some
information coming out that you expected
not to.

12.  Some people are very tough because frankly
that is how they were taught to be by someone
important to them in either their work or
home life and have no idea that they are being
negative because this attitude has gotten them
some form of success so really why should
they change? In their eyes they are doing the
right thing so for people like that, just let them
see your success being the way that you are.
No need to say anything. Just be you. Maybe it
will sink in. Some people need to be shown at a
basic level. See if that works.

13.  People can get under your skin only if you
let them. You may not be able to control the
event all the time but you are in charge of
your response. No one owns that response,
only you do so no one should get to you so
much that they get under your skin. If they
do, they win and you need to look in the
mirror and ask yourself why you let that
happen. You have to be above the fray. Be in
control as that is on you to do.

14.  Sometimes asking a person how they
wanted to be communicated to, can get you
a great response. Is the person a morning
person or afternoon person? Do they like
face to face or do they like the telephone or
email? Communicate with a person in their
preferred way and that may open them up
more because you took the time to do it
their way. That may open them up.

15.  Some people hate, “got a minute” type
communication. Use the process and get their
time officially. They would never get anything
done if they had a minute for everyone. Set a
meeting on their calendar with an agenda and
maybe keep it to official for a while. Its ok as
that shows respect for the person’s time. That’s
said, start on time and keep it on topic. End
early if possible and it may improve
communications long term.

16.  For the jealous type person who just
relishes in seeing someone fail or sees
people as a threat, just make sure that
when they do well in a project that they get
their proper credit. They will always
assume that you will take their credit and
when you don’t it may make them rethink
that philosophy.

17.  If someone that can be tough, does you a
favor, send a thank you note and if possible
send a note to their boss with a subject of
compliment telling the boss how much you
appreciate what was done for you. There is
nothing that I have ever found to be as great
of an ice breaker. That is because it was a
surprise and people just don’t do this as
much as they should have.

18.  If someone that can be tough, does you a
favor, send a thank you note and if possible
send a note to their boss with a subject of
compliment telling the boss how much you
appreciate what was done for you. There is
nothing that I have ever found to be as great
of an ice breaker. That is because it was a
surprise and people just don’t do this as
much as they should have.

19.  Don’t overdose someone on positivity or
what you want to do for them or things that
you would want to hear from someone.
They are not you. The person may see that
as condescending and not of any value
because they are not into that type of
communication. Take your queues from
how they communicate to others and don’t
force it. Not everyone is like you. Just the
way it is.

20.  Some people are introverts and others are
extroverts and both are fine. Just
understand that each person has a
preference in either direction and does not
need you to change them. Be ok with the
person they are and don’t take quiet for
aloof or loud for obnoxious. Sometimes
quiet is just quiet and loud is just loud. No
deep meaning. Just is.

21.  Make sure that all people are invited to
office events such as the monthly birthday
cake celebration. Reaching out to make sure
that the tough person attends shows that
you care and may just open a door. Never
assume that the person does not want to go.
Maybe they are just a hard worker that
needs a reminder that these events are for
everyone. That said, if they don’t come just
let them be. It’s ok. You tried.

22.  Another possible tact is for you to let the
person know how you like to be
communicated to and how you work best.
That way you have made it clear how you
are comfortable being spoken to or
addressed and that way there is no
confusion. Be clear with this so at least you
provided great guidance for how you are
comfortable and do this consistently.

23.  Be objective in your communication and don’t
fall into the trap thinking that everything is
personal. It is not. The person really probably
just doesn’t even realize that they are being a
problem and if they do, the problem is bigger
than you.
 Try taking a walk with this person at lunch on
a nice day. Sometimes people are different
people even out of the office in the parking lot
because they are outside. They may open up.

24.  If you have say a micromanager that is
getting to you, let the person know how you
work and that this behavior is not needed.
The person make think that you want them
to do this. It is on you to tell them how you
are productive so there is no confusion.
People need to know what makes you
comfortable and productive. Don’t assume
anyone knows anything. Be clear as to how
you work well if that is important to you.

25.  Some people just need space to
communicate on their terms. Its ok to give a
person that space and let them operate on
their schedule regarding how they want to
interact. That’s ok too. You never know
what is going on in someone’s life. Don’t
force it. Sometimes just let it be if you see
that is needed. Its ok. Everyone is different.
Respect that.

26.  Ok, none of the above has been useful. Then
its ok to just let the person know that their
behavior makes you feel uncomfortable and
non-productive. Maybe give them some
examples with ways that you would like to
see things handled differently in the future.
Again, people may have no idea that they
are being an issue. Sometimes a wake-up
call is all that is needed.

27.  I prefer to give the person every chance to
try to adjust via one on one communication
between us but it is up to you how many
attempts you want to do before you talk to a
manager. I just say, try at least once to let a
person know that their behavior is
upsetting you and if they don’t try to
improve well at least you tried.

28.  In the end, you cannot fix or change anyone. Set the good example via
your own behavior and treat everyone the way you want to be treated.
That is what you can control.
 If a person continues to show negative behavior, you have to think that
you are not the only person who has seen this behavior and thus the
problem will be solved in due course.
 Sometimes you come in one day and the person is just not there
anymore. Companies solve issues like this on their schedule so all you
can do is stay positive, focused and productive. That is what the
company is paying you to do.
 You are not the company fixer. There are professionals that get paid for
that. Just control your response and do your job because that is what
you were hired to do. The person does not own you. You own you.

29.  I want to reiterate that I am not a professional and only
providing you with things I did that helped me out
during my own job search.
 I do these presentations because the job search process
has a lot to do with attitude and outlook. That’s on you.
As I say, excuses are for losers. Be a winner and take
charge. You can do it because you have done it before I
bet.
 Make sure you individualize any all of the information
provided on this or any of my presentations. My ideas
are to guide you and help you to understand concepts.
