5 ways to win with passive-aggressive people5 ways to win with passive-aggressive peoplePassive-aggressive people.You know the type.They never say they wont do sohonigweinhing. They agree but then, aw shucks, the dog ate their homework and, of course, its elendlage their fault.They never ask for what they want. They whine or charm or sulk until you offer. But they didnt ask, so they dont owe you anything. Hey, you offered.And they claim to be the kindest personin the world. Would never hurt a fly. But they attack others - always with plausible deniability.Its nevertheir fault. Theyre bedrngnis a badeanstalt person. In fact,at least according to them, theyre always the victim. Clinical psychologist Randy Patersonexplains passive-aggressive behavior asIn all cases you get your own way, but you have a plausible excuse that allows you to escape taking responsibility for your actions. You manage to avoid being confronted by those who are affected. If they try to confront you, you can al ways deny any intent (No, I really wanted to be on time, but the bus welches late.)These people will drive you crazy. So what do experts recommend you do to win with ansicht types?Lets get to it . . .(Im not asking you to keep reading. I dont care if you read another word. But, if you areso inclined, go right ahead. Now its true thatone time someone didnt finish reading something I wrote and I was so upset I was hospitalized for a month - but dont feel obligated in any way. I wouldnt want to be a burden. Totally up to you. Do whatever you think is right. Im just trying to help)Whats the deal with passive-aggressive people?Well-adjusted people are assertive. Theyll explain why they cant help orask for what they want. Aggressive folks will respond to requests with a flatNo and will happily steamroll you to achieve their goals. Other people are passive. Theyll cave and do what you tell them, or give up on what they desire rather than ask for it.And then we have the passive-aggressive bunch theyre not going to say no, but theyre not going to follow through either. Theyre not going to ask for what they want, but thats not going to stop them from trying to get it.FromEmotional Vampires Dealing with People Who Drain You DryThe more these hapless vampires like, respect, or fear you, the less able they are to say directly, Im angry or I dont want to do that. They have to rely on misunderstanding, forgetting, or falling apart to do the job for them. Thats the way it is accept it or pay the price. The most frequent cause of headaches is pursuing the one goal that is absolutely unattainable with Histrionic vampires- having them admit to their actual motives.Most passive-aggressives live in a fantasy world of denial. They dont want to be seen as a bad person but they dont want to do unpleasant things. But if the unpleasant things dont get done because of an accident, well, its not their fault, and theyre nota badperson.FromEmotional Vampires Dealing with People Who Drain You DryIn their minds, they are good children- innocent, happy, eager to please, and always willing to do more than their share. Real people are complex, full of base motivations and unacceptable desires as well as the stuff of angels. Passive-Aggressive Histrionics have the frightening capacity to deny any but the most superficial and attractive thoughts. They blithely ignore the ugly stuff even if its plainly visible to everyone else. Histrionics are not perfectionists, theyre more like perfectionist wannabes. They dont necessarily want to be perfect they just want to look perfect Normal people recognize that they cant act on their impulses. Passive-Aggressive Histrionics try to believe that they have no inappropriate impulses to act on. This is what makes them dangerous.Theyre perpetually innocent. And if you accuse them, youre a bully. Theyre always the victim.Now there is another typeaggressives who use passive-aggressiveness as a deliberate strategy to act likejerksand not be held accountable. Modern corporate culture has come down hard on aggressive behavior. While noble, this has just driven it underground. Shouting is verboten, so they manipulate youinstead.So whats the best way toidentifya passive-aggressive as early as possible? Look for a past that resembles Hurricane Katrina.These types often leaveawake of devastation behind them. Of course, it wasnt their fault. They were the victim. But if someone keeps having bad luck again and again and again thats not bad luck.See them coming and you might be able to stop them from bleeding you dry. And thats why clinical psychologist Albert Bernstein refers to them as vampires.FromEmotional Vampires Dealing with People Who Drain You DryOften these vampires have a history of interpersonal problems that, according to them, come out of nowhere to plague them. Their world is two-dimensional, full of villains and victims. In an interview they will usually tell you about personality conflicts in their previous job . On a first date they will tell you about their last dysfunctional relationship because youre a nice person and will understand. Be warned. Nice person or not, in their next interview or on their next first date, theyll be saying the same things about you.(To learn how to deal with a narcissist, click here.)Okay, we have met the enemy - and its never their fault.As with narcissists, subclinical psychopaths and other oh-so-pleasant folks, if you see them for what they are, the best way to deal with them is not to deal with them. Run.But there are many cases where that just isnt an option, like the office. So what do you do about it?1. Dont give inTheyre giving you a migraine. Theres always an excuse. They are always the victim. Wouldnt it just be easier to give inso theyshut up and go away?No.Dont give them what they want. Now youre rewarding the puppy for pooping on the carpet. Guess whats going to happen next time they want something?FromEmotional Vampires Dealing with People Who Drain You DryIn the short run it seems easier not to deal with them at all and just do whatever they were supposed to do yourself. Big mistake. One of the reasons these vampires are so difficult is that most people deal with their passive tantrums passively, by absolving them of their responsibilities. This approach ensures that the next time there is something difficult to be done, Histrionics will again handle it by not being able to handle it.(To learn how to deal with psychopaths and other toxic people, click here.)Maybe if you can just get them to tell you what they want, you can break them of this terrible habit. Or maybe if you just explode on them you can show them how frustrating theyre being and theyll snap out of it.Wrong . . .2. Dont get angry or call them outIf you get furiousor make accusations, then youre a bully. Theyre always the victim, remember? So dont give them a plausible way of accusing you of being a bully.You dont want to end up on their enemies list. Not t hat theyre vindictive - theyre as pure as the driven snow - but your bullying behavior might be something HR should be aware of. You know, for the good of the company. After all, they just want to help.And trying to get them to take responsibility for their actions is a fools errand. Theyd have to admit theyre not sweet, kind and lovable. Theyd have to admit they have base desires. Not gonna happen.FromEmotional Vampires Dealing with People Who Drain You DryForget any attempt to make Passive-Aggressive vampires admit to what they really feel. Itll only make your headache worse. Dont make the mistake of demanding that they talk to you directly about problems. You might as well demand that they speak in rhyming couplets. There really are no battles you can win with the Passive-Aggressive. Once the situation turns into a battle, you have already lost. The battles you can win are all with yourself.(To learnhow a clinical psychologist recommends you handle difficult conversations, clic k here.)So you know what not to do. But whats the first step in getting this victim who has such horrible luck to behave the right way?3. Speak their languageYou need to express your needs intheir I-am-the-victim reality. Tell them it is truly awful that space aliens stopped them from taking care of that task they committed to. (Youve dealt with E.T. yourself, and you understand how difficult he can be.) You appreciate them doing their best, and were just going to need to try again.FromEmotional Vampires Dealing with People Who Drain You DryYour words must reflect an understanding of their view of the world, rather than demanding that they accept yours. These vampires live in an alternate reality where their thoughts are pure, their motives are selfless, and all their mistakes are caused by misinterpretation. That is where you must go to have any meaningful communication with them. Phrase everything in a way that doesnt assault their view of reality. Instead of criticizing, acknowle dge that Passive-Aggressives were doing their best, then let them know how to do better. Dont even think of talking to them when youre angry. Theyll see it as verbal abuse.(To learn an FBI behavior experts secrets for getting people to like you, click here.)So youre talking to them in a way they wont reject. Now how do you get them to do what they should have already done?4. Be direct and always reward good behaviorDo what they cantbe direct about what you want. Otherwise, we now have two passive-aggressives dealing with one another. And while that might make a fantasticSNL sketch, its not something you want to be a part of. (Youll lose. They have a lot more practice at this than you do.)So be direct aboutwhat is expected and let contingencies do the work.FromEmotional Vampires Dealing with People Who Drain You DryIf you live or work with Passive-Aggressive Histrionics, you want them to do what theyre supposed to do, and not feel criticized and abused. At least not enough to retalia te. To accomplish this formidable goal, you and the vampire have to relate on the basis of clear, explicit expectations rather than any sort of unspoken agreements.You were clear about what you wanted and they followed through. Great. Nowheap on the approval theyve been craving. If this sounds like dog training, well, thats because it is dog training. So give Sparky a treat and a pat on the head.FromEmotional Vampires Dealing with People Who Drain You DryThe most productive goal with these vampires is preventing their Passive-Aggressive outbursts by giving them the approval they want, but making it contingent on specific behaviors. Never let them guess what you want the consequences are too great if they get it wrong. Tell Passive-Aggressives in explicit detail what it takes to please you and praise them profusely when they do it. The strategy is simple and almost foolproof, but it is seldom employed.(To learn the 4 rituals neuroscience says will make you happy, click here.)Some peo ple will say that sounds all too simple. Now it does work, but maybe not immediately. So how do you punish bad behavior with someone who is itching to paint themselves as the victim and you as the jerk?5. Use response costsOvert punishment or retaliation wont work. That just feeds their narrative of Me Victim You Bully.But their bad behavior causes problems for you and it needs to causeproblems for them too. It was awful that a 747 crashed into the post office where they were supposed to mail that letter for you, and you feel terrible they had to suffer through that tragedy. But since it happened, theres now another step they need to complete.Filling out an incident reportor paying that late fee you incurred. Anything you can think upthat makes their accidental slip ups not worth the hassle in the future.FromEmotional Vampires Dealing with People Who Drain You DryIf there need to be negative consequences for breaking rules, the kind that work best are called response costs. They are nt punishments theyre more like raising the price of messing up. If people forget to do something or do it incorrectly, make them do it over, especially when it would be easier to do it yourself. Creative practitioners may raise the price of misbehavior still further by adding paperwork- incident reports, remediation plans for absences, or whatever else they can think up.(To learn the 7-step morning ritual that will keep you happy all day, click here.)Okay, weve learned a lot.

How to End a Conversation When Networking

How to End a Conversation When NetworkingHow to End a Conversation When Networking5Thing is, its a networking no-brainer that you should be nice to everyone at the event. After all, todays boring conversationalist might be the gatekeeper to your job tomorrow. That doesnt mean that you should be chatting up someone and not establishing the connections you really need to make.Since weve all been there, here are three (kind) ways to end a conversation when networking1. Be honest. If youve been already speaking with the other part for quite a few minutes, its perfectly acceptable to tell them that youre ready to move on. You can say something like, Its been wonderful meeting you, but there are a couple of other people I need to connect with before leaving the event. The rolle youre speaking with shouldnt feel offended and ultimately understand that the point of networking events is to make as many connections as possible.2. Offer to keep in touch. Youre actually having a great conversati on with someone youve met at a networking event- but the clock is ticking and youve only established one connection so far. If you like the person youre chatting up but know that you need to make the most of your time at the event, offer to stay in touch with him. You can say, Its been great speaking with you. Maybe we can continue the conversation at a later date? But only offer this option to the person if you genuinely want to keep the connection going.3. Create a new connection- for the other person. Lets say that youve been dropping hints to let the person know that you are ready to end the conversation. Youve stopped making as much eye contact as before, and youre slowly sliding your way towards the door. If your clueless conversation partner isnt catching on, an easy exit can be to pass the person onto someone else. Try connecting him with another person at the networking event that you know, and if you dont know anyone else, you can suggest that he meet up with one of the ev ents moderators. Then gracefully make your exit.It can be tricky to end a conversation, but when youre looking to build your network, every minute counts. So try to make the most of your conversations that you have at the event, and tactfully end the ones that just arent working for you.

Information About Advertising Careers

Information About Advertising CareersInformation About Advertising CareersWhether youre still in school and ready to launch your advertising career, or youre looking to switch professions, you need to know exactly what to expect, and that can vary greatly depending upon what role you want to fulfill in an agency and which area of advertising you want to work in. Location can be a defining factor too. Account Side vs. Creative Department Before you get into advertising, you have to decide what you want to do when you get to an agency. In general, there are two roads to take - creative or accounts. This is, of course, a massive generalization there are many roles not even covered by those descriptions. A typical advertising agency structure includes, but is not limited to, the following key roles Art DirectorAccount Executive/SupervisorAccount PlannerCopywriterProduction DesignerProduction DirectorMedia Buyer/PlannerCreative DirectorWeb DesignerTraffic Manager Say Goodbye to Reg ular 9 to 5 Hours All too often, inspired advertising is not produced in a traditional working week. Be prepared for long nights, weekends and a whole lot of rejection. The creative work is the heart and soul of any ad agency. Its the product. Which means it has to be great work. Its also subjective, so a great idea to one person is a complete head-scratcher to another. That means that, unlike an accountant, there are no right or wrong answers. You are at the whim of the creative director, who is at the whim of the client. The Client is Always Right Something you will discover very quickly is that money is power in advertising. With the exception of the powerhouse ad agencies (Crispin, Porter Bogusky, Weiden Kennedy, TBWAChiatDay) the clients have all the money and most of the power. So, be prepared to have your 120 creative ideas flushed down the toilet in favor of a Frankensteins monster of an ad that the client designed with his or her daughter and the babysitter. Smart Creatives Are Highly-Prized Possessions You have the ideas that make the agency successful, and thus, you will be treated like a king when you get it right. Keep doing it for a few decades, and you will one day have your name on the door of the agency, joining the ranks of Bill Bernbach, Tim Delaney, David Abbott, Leo Burnett and many more. Work hard, and you can carve your name into the advertising history books and earn a handsome living doing it. The Roles of the Account Teams On the other side of the coin, working in accounts has its ups and downs as well. Despite what you want to hear, you are there to serve the creative work. Heres just a short list of what various account tafelgeschirr roles entail Expect to work equally long hours as the creativesBe prepared to fight for work that you may not agree withKnow how to formulate a solid strategyLearn to service the client without giving in to every requestBalance a budget and meet firm deadlinesPresent work, often several t imesWork closely with the creative directorBe a diplomatAssist with production of TV and video shoots Knowing When to Say Yes or No You have a client to satisfy, and will often be caught between the two worlds. If you work for an ad agency that values great work above billings, you will be fine. If you work for an agency concerned only with the bottom line, expect to get your head bitten off regularly by the frustrated creatives who see their work limping back to the agency as a shadow of its former self. Go Beyond the Walls of the Agency Theres more to life in advertising than just doing the work. Advertising is part of pop culture, and to be good at it you have to immerse yourself in it. Which means that, as a good ad agency employee, you will involve yourself in many extra-curricular activities that expand your mind and your horizons. You should Take vacations that expand your mindRead interesting and diverse books, magazines, ?and blogsSee more than the usual moviesGo to the theaterWrite a blogRead newspapers and magazines outside of the industryTake up some interesting hobbies A well-furnished mind is a good advertising brain. The best agencies will expect you to fill yours with experiences that will benefit the work, so if youre a social wallflower, advertising is not for you. Its More About Working Hard Than Playing Hard When it comes to the decadence and debauchery, saying that it doesnt happen anymore, anywhere, would be disingenuous. Dont expect to lead the life of a rock-star by working in advertising. While its true that a certain amount of exuberance and decadence used to proliferate the profession (Mad Men is one such example), it has all but vanished since the stock market collapse of the late eighties. These days, just like any other profession, its all about working hard and making money. Keep your head down, and its a fantastic and rewarding career that can take you all around the world.

How to Deal With Rejection During a Career Change

How to Deal With Rejection During a Career Change Dealing constructively with rejection is an important part of almost any job hunt, but especially when youre making a career change. When you switch industries or take on a role that doesnt quite fit with your previous experience, you have to be prepared for some pushback.According to psychologist Guy Winch, the same areas of the brain become activated when we experience rejection as when we experience physical pain. Indeed, the responses are so similar that over-the-counter painkillers have proven effective in lessening the emotional impact of rejection in controlled experiments.That said, dont reach for the paracetamol just yet. If you want to conquer your fear of rejection and change careers successfully, youll need to focus on your mindset. Here are some valuable lessons Ive learned about rejection during my own professional journey. Maybe theyll help you, too1. Ask for Feedback and Use It to Your AdvantageSometimes, your application will be met by an automated rejection emaille with no reply-to address. That is of no use to you. Trash the email immediately and put it out of your mind.However, in instances where you can actuallytalk to a person on the other end, take the opportunity to ask for honest feedback and be open to receiving it. When you have insider knowledge about why you didnt advance, you can address the issue to ensure it doesnt happen again.Whether its a poorly presented resume, a lack of experience, or an interview question you mishandled, almost any problem a recruiter or hiring manager can highlight will be helpful to your future success, as long as youre leid defensive about it.2. Wait Before Replying to a Rejection EmailThis will give you the distance and perspective you need to compose a measured response, which will reflect positively on you if you apply with the same company in the future.I once sat through a particularly tense interview where there was a slight language barrier between the assistant hiring manager and myself. I was struggling to find common ground, but I saw her open up a bit when I spoke about my struggle with perfectionism. So, I expanded on the topic when she asked me to tell her about a weakness.A few days later, I got a rejection email from my recruiter. He told me the interviewer had named my tendency to become easily distracted by minutiae as a concern. I was stunned. That wasnt at all what I had said during the interview Writing back almost immediately, I was polite but made it clear the interviewer had misunderstood me.It was hard to make peace with being disqualified because of a misinterpretation, but once I did, I regretted that email to my recruiter. Had I given myself a day or two to think things through, I mightve sent a more strategic response. Instead, I got defensive and forgot to ask him about other openings.3. Spot the Blessings in DisguiseMy friend Cindy loves to spot the blessings in disguis e, no matter the situation. Your house could fall to pieces while you slept, and shed still find a way to spin it into a blessing. That wasnt the house for you, she might say.
