Some vastly different jobs have similar important aspects.

Of the five most important aspects of a job, paycheck size comes in a surprising second. Address the other four job aspects that employees say matter to them and you will decrease turnover.

Aspect Number Five: Using Skills and Abilities

Opportunities to use skills and abilities held the number one position in 2012, but it has fallen to number five, according to the Society for Human Resource Management's 2017 Employee Job Satisfaction and Engagement report. Give your employees a challenge suited to their strengths and help them figure out how to achieve it.

Aspect Number Four: Job Security

Job security held the number two slot in 2012 but has fallen to job aspect number four as of 2017. Part of the reason may lie in the gig economy and the increase in the number of self-employed workers.

Tip

Take a chance: discuss the gig economy versus a regular job with your employees. If they find the flexibility and self-direction of gig work appealing, you can remain competitive by offering job-sharing or flexible hours.

Aspect Number Three: Trust

Transparency prevents workers from leaving your company when rumors of upcoming layoffs or closings fly. Keeping pending changes under wraps only fuels speculation, and quashing a layoff rumor today only increases mistrust later when the layoffs take place.

Tip

Don't sugar-coat or deny bad news. Share news of mergers and layoffs as soon as possible so that employees can plan ahead. They will often reward your trust by sticking with you through the entire process.

Aspect Number Two: Pay and Compensation

Rising in importance from its number-three spot in 2012, this job aspect is the only salient aspect of the job with a bottom-line price tag. Employees understand that hard times for the company may limit potential raises and bonuses. When the company does well, though, so should the rank and file. Pay them more before you give bonuses to management, especially upper management.

Aspect Number One: Respect

Of the five aspects, respect carries the most weight with your employees. It costs nothing to show employees that you value respect as much as they do. Model respectful behavior and make sure middle managers do the same.

Bella Vista Apartments, a senior living community in Mesa, Arizona, uses the motto, "Open the DOOR to Customer Service." The letters stand for "Delight, Offer, Own, and Respond." Every day, each employee strives to delight and inspire one resident at a time. This concept is easy to apply to your employees.
Examples:
Before the shift begins: make sure your employees have any passwords, supplies, equipment or data needed to perform the day's tasks.

Greet employees by name as they arrive.

Avoid yawning when an employee speaks with you.

Do not eat while talking with employees, especially if they are not eating as well.

Put what you are doing aside when employees approach you.

Make eye contact and turn toward employees to further emphasize your respect.

Take employees aside when you have to correct them or discuss something that might embarrass or upset them.

Why spend time on company research when you're job hunting? There are several good reasons why it's worth investigating companies, all of which are important to your successful job search.

First of all, spending some time looking for and at employers will give you an idea of which companies are in your industries and fields of choice. You'll also be able to determine which companies are hiring and what types of job openings they have available.

Also, after all your research, you will be a well-prepared candidate for the position. Knowing specifics about the company's goals, mission, products, policies, and company culture will impress upon the hiring manager your keen interest in the position, and your ability to assimilate quickly into a productive role.

Spend some of your valuable company research time investigating the needs and benefits of organizations in your industry that appear to offer much more than the others. Do they specifically need people in your field? Or are they generalizing to, as they say, "cherry pick the workforce."

If you can, talk to people who work at a company to determine whether it's a place you want to work and if they would appreciate your particular skills. You don't want to find yourself welcomed one day and then laid off six months later.

It's also helpful to learn more about the company history, financial stability, products and services, personnel, and perhaps some information about the company culture to see how you would fit in if you're hired. Most companies, large and small, have websites where they showcase career opportunities and the company's mission.

If you have a connection that will help you find inside information, use it. Do you know someone who works there? Ask them what the company culture is like, and how accurate and current the information on their website is. If you're a college graduate, ask your Career Office if they can give you a list of alumni who work at your target company. Then call or email those alumni to ask for insight, advice, and assistance.

You can search Hoover's Online by company name or keyword. ​​ Superpages allows you to search by business name, category or location. Vault is a website that offers job seekers an in-depth look inside some of the hottest industries. They also provide career advice, along with company and industry profiles.

Preparing for an interview is a certainly a crucial reason to research employers. You'll want to know as much about your potential employer as possible, so that you can start your interview on good footing.

Standard interview questions are "What do you know about us?" and "Why do you want to work here?" Research will enable you to have an informed, detailed response - and ask right questions, remember an interview is a dialogue. It's as important for you to ensure the job is a good fit as it is for the employer.

Read anything and everything you can about your target company. Use Google to find the employer's website and check the company's social media profiles. Then review the sites to see what the company is saying about itself.

Many times, you'll find articles or links about new products or technologies where the company is mentioned. That's a good place to explore for more in-depth research. Next, take a look at what the rest of the world is saying. Vault Reports is a good resource to find specific, detailed information about a particular employer.

20 Technology Skills Every Educator Should Have

During the last 15 years, we in education have moved at light speed in the area of educational technology. Whether you are involved in higher ed, secondary ed, elementary ed, or special ed, all of us find it difficult to catch up, keep up, and put up with fast-moving computer-based technology. Not since the introduction of the blackboard have we seen a piece of equipment make such a difference in how we teach. Today, not only do we use computers, but we also have laptops, wireless laptops, and tablet PCs. In addition, we have the World Wide Web, scanners, CD burners, USB drives, digital cameras and digital video cameras, PDAs, as well as video and DVD players. And most educators use a variety of tools-including video, e-mail, desktop conferencing, online programs such as WebCT and Blackboard, as well as video conferencing-to teach. Thus, it is no longer acceptable for educators to be technology illiterate.

With that in mind, here is a comprehensive listing of the technology skills that every educator should have. Because as computer and associated technologies continue to change and evolve, educators must continue to strive for excellence in their work. Today that includes continued time and effort to maintain and improve their technology skills (as much as some educators do not want to admit).

Here are 20 basic technology skills that all educators should now have:

1. Word Processing Skills

2. Spreadsheets Skills

3. Database Skills

4. Electronic Presentation Skills

5. Web Navigation Skills

6. Web Site Design Skills

7. E-Mail Management Skills

8. Digital Cameras

9. Computer Network Knowledge Applicable to your School System

10. File Management & Windows Explorer Skills

For the second year in a row, Austin, Texas has been named the best place to live in the United States.

U.S. News & World Report just released its third annual ranking of America's 125 largest metropolitan areas based on affordability, job prospects and quality of life.

"Relocating to a new part of the country is a common occurrence for millennials, who have largely emerged in the professional world ready to move for the right job, regardless of where it takes them," U.S. News & World Report real estate editor Devon Thorsby tells CNBC Make It.

Research shows that where you live can have a great impact on your health, well-being and overall happiness, all of which millennials are now taking into consideration as they take better care of their health.

"As more millennials are starting families and thinking about their careers with a more long-term scope, their choice of where to settle down brings more factors into the mix than before," Thorsby says.

Compared to last year, the 2018 list also introduced 25 additional, smaller metro areas that offer competitive job markets and value compared to the country's biggest cities, says Thorsby.

The study analyzed survey responses from 3,000 people as well as data collected from the U.S. Census, the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the FBI Uniform Crime Report and other U.S. News rankings.

"The job market certainly still plays a major role in the decision," Thorsby adds, "but so does the affordability of the area, the quality of education, commute time and growth of the area, signifying the metro area's long-term success, among other factors."

Here are the 10 best places to live in the United States in 2018.

The most essential skill a fine artist must have the ability to draw whatever he or she sees, thinks, or imagines in a reaistic manner.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
By Vladimir London

As the Drawing Academy tutor, I'm often asked what skills a proficient artist must have.

In this presentation, I will discuss some of the skills that will help you express your creative abilities to their fullest potential.

The opinions in this presentation come from my personal point of view. You are very welcome to agree or disagree with them and express your thoughts and feedback by commenting on this page.
Here are, in my opinion, the twelve most necessary skills for a fine artist:

1. Realistic drawing

The most essential skill a fine artist must have is the ability to draw whatever he or she sees, thinks, or imagines in a realistic manner.

Realistic drawing has a profoundly rich history. The first skillful, realistic art known to man was created more than 32,000 years ago. These drawings of animals on cave walls in Southern France are breathtaking examples of realistic art. Not every contemporary living artist can necessarily portray wild animals from memory with such precision and knowledge.

Realistic drawing has continued to develop through various periods of history, including Greek and Roman art, Renaissance and Baroque, and the later art schools in Europe and the rest of the world.

If you want to become a skillful fine artist, then learning how to draw realistically is indispensible. That is why in the Drawing Academy course, every lesson teaches you how to draw realistically.

2. Constructive drawing

The principle of constructive drawing is the cornerstone of drawing. This principle enables artists to draw what they know or whatever they can imagine. With this skill a fine artist can "build" objects in a work of art so that they look realistic and believable.

Constructive drawing has many rules, such as drawing objects as if they were transparent and using imaginary helping lines (like axes of symmetry, perspective lines, and proportions lines).

These rules are described in detail in the Drawing Academy video lessons and can be applied to whatever you draw - portraits and figurative art, animals, botanical objects, still-lifes, landscapes, and architecture.

3. Ability to draw from life

I have met many artists who admit they can only copy; when it comes to drawing from life, they are out of their depth. This comes from the erroneous ways in which students are taught to draw. Many artists just copy from photos or pictures and never develop the ability to draw from life. I explain the cognitive process that rewires the brain into copying instead of drawing in the video presentation "Drawing from Photos vs. Drawing from Life."

What enables an artist to draw from life? Although I list it as one skill, in fact it is a combination of various skills. It includes proficiency in constructive drawing, the ability to judge distances and proportions, an understanding of perspective, the capability to think three-dimensionally, and others.

When drawing human figures from life, it also includes knowledge of human anatomy and the proportions of the human head, face, and body. Some of these skills are so important that I will spend extra time on them later.

In the Drawing Academy, you will learn how to draw live portraits and figurative artwork, how to draw from nature, how to depict animals, botanical objects, and architecture, and more! Although these video lessons present the complete process from beginning to end, I encourage students not to copy what they see but instead learn from what is presented and apply that new knowledge to drawing from life and nature.

4. Drawing from memory and imagination

I also know of other artists that can draw from life but struggle when it comes to creating works of art from their memory and imagination. At first, I was puzzled: how can someone who can draw from life not draw a simple human figure without a model? The answer lies in their lack of familiarity with constructive drawing, human anatomy, and drawing in perspective. These artists can draw from life only by copying what they see, without a real understanding of what lies beneath the model's skin.

Proficient artists draw what they know. Learning the fundamental rules, principles and techniques of drawing will help your ability to draw from your memory and imagination, which you will find in the Drawing Academy lessons.

5. Knowledge of art materials and their skillful use

Know about art supplies and being able to get the most out of them is definitely a skill a fine artist must have.

Have you ever seen a professional golfer who doesn't know how to hold a golf club? I haven't. Why then are there so many artists who do not know how to hold a pencil the correct way?

I find it strange that the number of art products constantly expands while the quality of art goes down.

Have you ever bought art materials in the hope that it would be the magic ingredient for creating a masterpiece? Was the artwork as good as you envisioned?

Here's the secret art manufacturers don't want you to know: your skills will make the artwork great, not art supplies.

Of course, it helps to have good pencils, paints, brushes, and the like. But the magical ingredient is you and your skills. Invest in your art education first.

6. Knowledge of the rules of perspective

The rules of perspective are as old as art itself. To become a masterful artist, you must master the rules of perspective.

In the Drawing Academy video lessons and bonuses, I offer presentations on one-, two-, three-, and four-point perspective, as well as explaining aerial perspective, perceptive perspective, and photo perspective.

Depicting three-dimensional reality on a flat surface is impossible without distortion. Perspective helps to minimize such distortion and deal with relative proportions and foreshortening, so objects and the relationships between them look realistic.

7. Knowledge of golden proportions

It is fascinating to consider how everything in the world is governed by the Golden Ratio. Golden proportions are present in nature, life, and art. Knowing them enables you to draw not only realistic but also beautiful artworks.

There are reasons why certain objects, faces, figures, and pieces of art look beautiful. They all have golden proportions. If your aim is to create art that is beautiful, well-balanced, and stylish, you have to know the rules of golden proportions.

In the Drawing Academy, you will learn what those rules are and how you can use Golden Proportions in your own art and compositions.

8. Composition skills

Composition refers to the arrangement of visual elements in a work of art; literally, the word means "putting together."

All artistic elements, such as lines, shapes, tone, form, depth, color, texture and space, can be arranged in various ways. Visual arrangements that follow the rules of composition, however, will look better.

In the Drawing Academy course, I offer rules and principles that you can use to make well-composed works of art.

Some elements of composition which are essential to fine art include:

Shapes and proportions

Orientation, balance, and harmony of visual elements

Contrast and tonal values

Rhythm and gamut

Perspective

Symmetry

Stylization

Visual focus

There are certain rules can be used to achieve a good composition, including:

The rule of golden proportions

The rule of thirds

Rules of rabatment

Rules for guiding a viewer's gaze

Rules of symmetry

And others

9. Knowledge of the proportions of the human head, face, and body

It is impossible to create a skillful, figurative work of art from life or memory without knowledge of the proportions of the human head and figure.

Every great master knew and used these proportions, so if you want to create better figurative art, you must learn them as well.

This topic is very important for fine artists; that is why in every Drawing Academy video lesson dedicated to figurative drawing, you will receive an in-depth and comprehensive explanation of the proportions of the human body. These include the proportions of the human head and facial features, as well as the proportions of the human figure.

10. Knowledge of human anatomy

Another important skill for figurative art is the knowledge of human anatomy.

Drawing a portrait or human figure requires more than just copying the exterior form. To make truly realistic figurative art, you need to know what lies beneath the skin.

Don't stress about learning this admittedly complicated subject. You are an artist, not a doctor, so you don't have to memorize the Latin names of every bone, muscle, and organ in the human body or know all the workings of their physiology. You do, however, need to know the structure of the major bones and muscles that affect human body shape and influence its dynamics.

In the Drawing Academy, you will find comprehensive tutorials on skeletal and muscular anatomy for artists. The Academy lessons present all you need to know about human anatomy in a very friendly and easy-to-understand way.

11. Understanding and using the techniques of rendering tonal value

The magic of portraying three-dimensional nature in a realistic way happens when tonal values are depicted truthfully and skillfully.

There are right and wrong ways of rendering tonal values in graphite pencil. Unfortunately, the majority of YouTube "Watch-Me-Draw" presentations shows how not to do it. There are certain rules you need to know to avoid such amateurish techniques as smudging graphite for blending, working with a blunt pencil, relying of five different pencil grades, and rendering in full strength from the start.

If you want to learn truly professional pencil hatching techniques, you need to learn from experts. In the Drawing Academy, you will find full explanation and demonstration of rendering techniques. You will learn how to rely on your skills rather than depend upon on grayscale values or combinations of pencil grades.

12. Color theory and techniques for working with colors

In this presentation, I concentrate primarily on drawing skills. Working in color, however, is an essential part of your art education.

Color theory and the skillful use of colors is necessary in multicolored works.

Many great artists will say that a well-painted artwork is well-drawn. Some put it in other words: "I draw with colors."

Drawing is the foundation of all visual arts. To become a better artist, you need to master the essential drawing skills listed above.

To help you, we created the Drawing Academy.

In the Academy, you will learn all the necessary techniques that will enable you to draw whatever you see, think, or imagine.

You are not alone here. Academy tutors are ready to help! You will enjoy unlimited personal support from professional fine artists for whatever you need, whether you have questions about art, need advice on your creative development, or simply want a professional opinion of your artwork.

The Drawing Academy is much more than a drawing course. It is also an art community from which you will personally benefit. You can communicate with fellow students, exhibit your works of art, and comment on others' artworks.

The Drawing Academy is available for you at the very modest price of only $257. This is as little as one cup of coffee per day. You can even split the tuition up into three monthly installments of $97.

After three months, you will receive the Academy Diploma, and your membership will become free for life.

Compare this to a contemporary art college, which would take at least four years of your life, cost you more than $100,000, and gives no guarantee that you will develop solid drawing skills.
Save your time and money, get the best value from the Drawing Academy!

You are just one click away from beginning your comprehensive art education.
