Indifference Curves Compare Job Offers With The Job Payoff Index (Israeli Version)

Indifference Curves Compare Job Offers With The Job Payoff Index (Israeli Version) 32 A tool that helps you compare Israeli salary packages so you can make the best job search decisions. This a guest post by Jonathan Degani. If you’d also like to guest post here on JobMob, follow these guest post guidelines. Disclaimer: I am not a certified accountant, nor financial adviser. The information here should not be understood legally as financial advice. Any posts about financial stuff are based on whatever tax websites I see from the Israeli government. Some information could be flawed; I’m only human. I am always open to corrections, new ideas, and new opinions. What is an Indifference Curve? A few months ago, a friend was telling me about his job search. “I know exactly what I want,” he told me. “I want to earn X shekels and get a company car.”eval “But what if you earn a bit more and don’t get a car?” I asked. “Possibly,” he responded, “but it would have to be at least 500 shekels more.”eval In this conversation, my friend and I were actively illustrating his indifference curve regarding the compensation he was looking for in his upcoming job. For example, one may accept a lower salary for a higher pension or one may accept a higher salary but no company car. In Israel especially, an indifference curve is no small matter. As you venture through the Israeli job market, you’re going to hear a lot about tanaim (literally, ‘conditions' i.e. compensation benefits). Tanaim refer to all the stuff you get in addition to your salary. Tanaim include, but are not limited to: holidays vacation days a sick leave policy membership in a pension plan additional investments summer vacation bonus a company car and more… Some companies give more tanaim, some give less and some give none (legally there is a minimum, but without getting into the “legalese,” there are tremendous loopholes in the law that allow employers to get around it.) In order to ensure that you receive the compensation you deserve, it is important to create a measure of all the potential tanaim in order to understand your full compensation. Such a measurement would allow: a job seeker to weigh the compensation package of one job against that of another a new mother to measure if it is economically worth it in the short run to reenter the job market a worker to learn if that 45 shekels an hour he is getting is a great opportunity or a rip-off barely paying minimum wage So how do you measure tanaim? How can one measure one job that gives 10,000 shekels and a company car against another that offers 12,000 shekels and no car or one that offers 13,000 shekels, but no pension? What about a job with a higher pension package and lower salary against another one that offers less of a pension, but a keren hishtalmut (a kind of tax-free savings plan)? With so many different variables and a complicated, progressive tax system, it can be very difficult to measure a marginal shekel in take home pay, especially from so many different sources. Introducing the Job Payoff Index That’s why I began developing the Job Payoff Index (JPI). The JPI is an index that takes all the general conditions that come with a job and put it into one quantifiable number that represents how much you earn from your job. The JPI is designed to compare your take home pay, benefits, investments, and preferences into one simple number that you can use in order to compare how much a job is really worth to you. How to use the Job Payoff Index Download the Job Payoff Index spreadsheet In order to find out the value of a potential job, download the file, answer the questions on the first tab (labeled ‘information'), and then go to the second tab to see what your average paycheck would look like and what your job payoff would be. The amount of the job payoff could be used to answer the questions we mentioned above and to make sure that a potential job falls within or beyond your indifference curve. Please note that while the JPI is a good place to start valuing a potential job, it is far from perfect. For one, it cannot measure important factors in determining your job such as potential for growth, how nice your coworkers are, nor how interesting your job is.

Pinterest sharing is word of mouth Using a social networking site is one of the best ways to share your content and perhaps the best way to get your content shared. Different sites offer different attributes, each requiring that the user apply a specific marketing strategy to their particular brand. Promote Your Brand Effectively in Pinterest When it comes to the social network site called Pinterest, sharing is only a click away. This site is visually appealing, making it a great opportunity to gain visibility and relate to the audience. For the most part, the focus is generally on the visually appealing aspect of graphics, memes, and condensed infographics. These can say a lot about your brand. But, the trick is to use those visual aspects to your advantage. Exhibit your brand’s personality Selling your brand doesn’t mean that you have to sell your brand. What makes the sale is the sharing that is done because the audience can relate to you. Start by simply creating boards that aren’t trying to sell merchandise and instead focus on content that represents the brand. What drives you? What imagery represents your brand? Pinterest is best used when you can associate yourself with the audience rather than simply talking to them. Your task is basically to engage the Pinterest community as a part of it. As you interact on a community level, which includes sharing of your own material as well as providing new material, you build trust between the audience and your brand. Just be sure that you embed sharing options in your content (such as links back to your sites and blogs). Another good practice is to use your Pinterest pictures as part of your blogs. Rather than simply limiting your blog material to the blog itself, create a board dedicated to your blog photos. Ask to share Remember: Just because you post an attractive photo doesn’t mean that it will get shared. Be sure that you encourage sharing. Social sharing at its core is basically word of mouth marketing. (click to tweet) [tweet this]. And, it speaks louder than your brand alone can. “Like it? Pin it!” you can give the audience the extra push they need to share your material with their own networks with this simple call to action. One of the most important things you can do is simply to remain active. Don’t neglect your account, especially since your account actually reflects your activity. The more active you are the more authentic your brand will appear to the audience and the more likely they will be to engage your brand. Pinterest might be a site dedicated to pictures and photos, but pictures say far more than you can in a single sentence. You need to share the right material with your audience and promote your brand as approachable and something they can relate to. When you do that, your audience will want to share more than just your Pinterest pins.

Star performance doesnt trump interpersonal problems

Star performance doesnt trump interpersonal problems Movie mogul Mark Gill, the guy who produced blockbusters on a shoestring like March of the Penguins ($77 million at the box office) and Good Night, and Good Luck (six Oscar nominations) has been fired. Well, officially resigned, but really he was pushed out because he cant get along with his boss. The New York Times reports that, Mr. Gills personal style continually clashed with that of Jeff Robinov, Warners president of production and Mr. Gills boss. About a year ago, Gill knew there was a problem and said, I definitely had to make some adjustments to fit into this culture. But he obviously did not make the necessary changes. No surprise. The more you feel like a star, the more you feel like you dont need to change. But dont kid yourself that doing great work for your company means you dont have to adjust your attitude and behavior to fit in. Even a guy who produces the most popular documentaries of the year has to get along with his boss in order to keep his job. This is not revolutionary management. In fact theres a Harvard Business Review case study (that you have to pay for) called What a Star What a Jerk that discusses the need to fire people who perform well but dont mesh with the organization. But, like most case studies about interpersonal skills, you dont need to read twenty pages to know the truth: If you dont like someone, nothing else about them matters.
