Military Divorce and Separation

Military Divorce and SeparationMilitary Divorce and SeparationEach U.S. military service has steuerungs that require members to provide adequate support to family members. However, without a court order, the military cant compel a member to pay support. Exactly what constitutes adequate supportdiffers among the services, and each branch enforces its rules a little differently. Heres how support payments are handled across the various branches. Army Family Support Rules Army Regulation 608-99, Family Support, Child Custody and Paternity, requires a soldier to provide an amount equal to the basic housing allowanceat the with dependent rate, unless a court order or written agreement provides for a different amount. If the soldier has more than one support obligation, that amount is divided equally among the supported parties. This is bedrngnis an absolute requirement, however the regulation contains provisions that allow the commander to waive requirements in certain cases, such as when the spouse makes more money than the soldier, if the soldier is a victim of abuse, or if the family member is in jail. Air Force Family Support Rules Air Force Instruction 36-2906, Personal Financial Responsibility,does leid specify a dollar amount for adequate support. In the absence of a written agreement or court order, adequate support is determined by the individual commander, based on the circumstances. Navy and Marines Family Support Rules The Naval Personnel Manual Section 1754-030 provides the following guidance to commanders for determining adequate support in the event of a nonsupport complaint, where there is no court-ordered amount, nor written agreement. Spouse only 1/3 of gross paySpouse and one minor child 1/2 of gross paySpouse and two or more children 3/5 of gross payOne minor child 1/6 of gross payTwo minor children 1/4 of gross payThree minor children 1/3 of gross pay Gross pay includes base pay and basic allowance for housing (if entitled), bu t does not include hazardous duty pay, sea or foreign duty pay, incentive pay, or subsistence allowance. Punishment for Failing to Pay Support If a commander does elect to punish a military member for failing to pay support, any such administrative sanctions are protected by the Privacy Act of 1974. Therefore, the commander cannot even legally inform the complainant that the member has been punished. Defense Department Family Support Enforcement Rules In addition to individual service regulations, the Department of Defense Financial Management Regulation prohibits payment of the basic allowance at the with-dependent rate to members who refuse to provide adequate support to their dependents. The regulation also contains provisions to recoup any BAH payments already made for periods of nonsupport. The best way of ensuring you receive spouse/child support from a military member is by obtaining a court order. If the member still fails to pay, you can return to court and obtain a garnishment or involuntary allotment order. This order allows you to have the support payments taken directly out of the members pay, through the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS), completely bypassing the military chain of command. Keep in mind, however, that service members have certain legal protections under theServicemembers Civil Relief Act. For example, if a service member cannot appear in court due to military necessity (if the member is deployed or assigned overseas), and the commander certifies that leave is not possible, the court must grant a 90-day stay (delay) in any court action. Upon application to the court, the member can request that such stays be extended. Its best to make your complaint in writing. If you dont know where the member is stationed, you may have to use one of the militaryslocator services. Another option is to call the base locator. Each military base operates a locator service, which can release (nonprivacy act) information about milit ary members assigned to that base. Whether you elect to write or call, keep your communication unemotional and to the point. Simply state that your spouse is failing to make support payments as required by agreement, court order, etc., if applicable and military regulations, and youre requesting assistance to obtain the required support. Include all facts related to the support (date of separation, date member stopped providing support, and so on). Garnishment and Involuntary Allotments There are only two ways to involuntarily take money from a servicemembers pay for spousal support (alimony) or child support, and both methods require legal action Federal law authorizes garnishment against the pay of military members to enforce child support and alimony in accordance with state law. Garnishments may be placed against the pay ofactive-duty, Reserve, Guard, and retired military members. The procedure to obtain a garnishment order is determined by state law. However, federal law de termines how the garnishment order is applied to military pay, that is, how service or process is accomplished, the type of pay subject to garnishment, and so forth. Unless state law specifies a lesser amount, federal law provides a limit of 50 percent of the members aggregate disposable earnings for any workweek if the member is currently supporting a second family (spouse or child) and 60 percent if the member is not supporting a second family. The percentage may be increased by 5 percent if the arrearage is 12 weeks or more. Federal Statutory Allotments for Child Support and Alimony Federal law authorizes allotments from active-dutymilitary payin order to satisfy child support and alimony obligations. Alimony alone does not qualify under this law. These statutory allotments may only be paid from active-duty pay. A statutory allotment may be initiated when child support and alimony payments are at least two months in arrears. Allotments cannot exceed 50 percent of a members pa y and allowances if the member is supporting a second family. If the member is not supporting a second family, the allotment may not exceed 60 percent.

These are the 9 signs you are dating a psychopath

These are the 9 signs you are dating a gefhrlicher irrerThese are the 9 signs you are dating a gefhrlicher irrerA somewhat common response, when asked why you broke up with someone, is to say your ex is a psychopath (or maybe thats just me?) but with the recent release and buzz around the Netflix filmExtremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vileabout the life of psychopath serial killer Ted Bundy (played by Zac Efron) you may wonder if you actually ever dated a psychopath? The film takes the perspective of Bundys romantic partner,Elizabeth Kloepfer (played by Lily Collins), whom he welches in a relationship with for six years.Of course psychopaths do only makeup 1% of the population but they tend to favor certain states over others (watch out if you live in Connecticut, California and New Jersey.) So there is always a chance you may run into one or even find yourself in a relationship with one of them. Here are the signs to look for.Follow Ladders on FlipboardFollow Ladders magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and more1. They are very charismaticDo you know those people who just draw you in? Well, that could be a psychopath. The most exciting thing for me was being able to sort of lend that Ted Bundy charisma to the part, Efron toldE News of his recent role. I hope thats what comes across the most The most interesting and exciting thing for me to contribute to the movie was Ted had this thing about him, this facade, his charm, and the way that he worked with people. But all through the charm is manipulation.Ce Anderson, therapist and author ofLove TAPS,says, I cannot stress enough how strategic and manipulative and charismatic these individuals are, all the while weaving an intricate trap,2. They are pathological liarsWere not talking the occassional white lie. We mean constant lying. They have to be lying all the time in order to hide their behaviors. This is one of the defining characteristics of a psychopath. 3. The relationship moves very fastYes, it is normal, especially for older people, to have their relationships move at an accelerated speed but with psychopaths, that isnt a good thing because it is about control and invasion. There is an agenda behind it. David Gillespie, author ofTaming Toxic People The Science of Identifying and Dealing With Psychopaths At Work and At Home said, They will seem absolutely perfect. Upfront, they will tell you exactly what you want to hear and they will be exactly what you want to be. They will be the best lover youve ever had, the most sharing partie.4. They bring in a third party (triangulation)After they make you feel like you are the only person in the world they bring someone else in to complicate things and make you not feel like that anymore. Usually it is an ex of some kind to reinforce that other people want them and you should be so grateful to have them.5. They expect the bestWell after all the abuse you just heard about this one may make you feel good (except for the fact that you are dating a psychopath) but psychopaths believe they deserve the best. They want the best looking person in the room, the most desirable and they believe that is you. They are arrogant to an extreme and think they deserve extreme success.6. They gaslight youIf you started this relationship feeling confident and now feel completely worthless there is a strong chance this person had a lot to do with it. Gaslighting means they are little by little diminishing your confidence. It can be very subtle. They know how to find your vulnerable areas and pray upon them.7. There is no real emotional attachmentPsychologist John M. Grohol, founder of Psych Central writes, They form artificial, shallow relationships designed to be manipulated in a way that most benefits the psychopath. People are seen as pawns to be used to forward the psychopaths goals. Psychopaths rarely feel guilt regarding any of their behaviors, no matter how much they hurt others. 8. They trap youAs part of that accelerated relationship, they will make sure you are controlled so it would be very difficult for you to escape whether this be through joint bank accounts or moving in with you immediately.9. They make you feel grateful for themThroughout the relationship, they have mostly isolated you from your social circle and friends. This makes you more focused on them and also you start to see them as the only thing you can rely on.Dr. Perpetua Neo wrote for Mind, Body, Green, This loving creature is the last person youd expect to hurt you. Unfortunately, theyre a master of manipulation, having spent their entire life perfecting the art of playing people like puppets. The transgressions grow bigger their refrain that youre crazy and ungrateful becomes stronger. A lie, repeated often enough, feels like the truth. As you feel more disconnected from others, they tell you you should be grateful theyre still there in your life.You might also enjoyNew neuroscience r eveals 4 rituals that will make you happyStrangers know your social class in the first seven words you say, study finds10 lessons from Benjamin Franklins daily schedule that will double your productivityThe worst mistakes you can make in an interview, according to 12 CEOs10 habits of mentally strong people

Kung Fu Control vs. Pacino Passion

Kung Fu Control vs. Pacino Passion Kung Fu Control vs. Pacino Passion OK. So control is generally, even if bedrngnis always, a good thing. This means there are two challenges in controlling controlKnowing which kind of control to try to exert in any given situation.Knowing when to relinquish or otherwise do without it.The iconic image of a self-controlled kung fu master in serene control of not only any assailant, but also of his inner environment, including his feelings, concentration, focus, weapons and skills, is very appealing. But, in appeal and merit it is countered by the equally iconic images of passionate Pablo Picasso, fiery out-of-control whooping Al Pacino and lovestruck/star-crossed Romeo and Juliet- ah, those LatinsBut wait Out of what kind of control?Assuming that in some situations control is a good thing, it remains to decide which kind of control to shoot for. Heres a menu of forms of control it is useful to identify and important not to confuse with each otherWea therman effect control Being a meteorologist gives you a degree of what can be called effect control- control over the effects of things you are powerless to stop, e.g., a hurricane, tornado or blizzard, e.g., by evacuation, retreating to a storm shelter or by chopping extra logs for the fireplace.The heart of this kind of control is the power of prediction and having the resources to deal with the consequences when the prediction comes true. In an office environment, an example would be having duplicate copies of your project report that your absent-minded boss is notorious for misplacing and losing. This can also be described as a form of partial control.Engineer cause control This kind of control amounts to three things- 1. prevention 2. staging 3. execution, implementation and maintenance. Designing a bridge or a jet involves all three designing structures and function that will prevent problems, framing the processes and structures to get the job done, and concretely carrying t hem out and maintaining or upgrading them.This most closely approximates the ideal of total control- and the kind of control that makes micro-managing types drool. From this perspective, designing a boss who is incapable of misplacing a report, or failing that, designing a fail-safe ordnungsprinzip of filing making compensatory backup files unnecessary would perfectly exemplify cause control.If you think of an engineer as being like God, or vice versa, this kind of cause control can be further analyzed like thisPure Designer Control Deism is the philosophical idea that once God designed the universe, He/She set it loose, free from any further direct control and allowed to unwind like a watch designed by a Master Watchmaker or a jet created by Boeing engineers. Translated into terms of HR departments, this means controlling your job flow by having a system design that incorporates preparations for any contingency, including the sudden disappearance of the new recruit on Day-1.Interve ner Designer Control Deism is in contrast to the idea of a much more interventionist Designer, who, in addition to or instead of designing the clockwork, will tinker with it from time to time, in order to bring about, through direct control, changes that seem suitable- usually in the form of fine-tuning or miracles. Engineering refits and accounting systems modifications fall into this category of cause control.Kung fu-master contingency control The idealized control exerted by a wispy-bearded kung fu master is different from both themeteorologists and engineers control paradigms. A kung fu master, unlike a meteorologist, cannot and need not predict what will happen nor, like the engineer, engineer it in advance. Instead, with respect to the outer world, he exercises purely contingency control- being prepared for whatever happens, despite neither predicting nor creating it. Its as though he is calmly and confidently making his way through a dark, menacing forest, totally ready for t he unexpected. Parallel to this control is the Masters unwavering self-control that makes this kind of comprehensive contingency control possible.In a business environment, kung fu-master control amounts to being ready to roll with and parry the punches, even when they are, in detail, utterly unforeseen and unpredictable. It means being mentally, logistically, operationally and otherwise ready for whatever happens and being confident and calm in virtue of being that ready.Like weatherman control, this is reactive but like engineer cause-control it is proactive to the extent that built into the makeup and design of a kung fu master are capacities to deal with a very wide range of contingencies, including emergencies. The difference, however, is that the kung fu master, unlike the engineer and possibly under the influence of a Taoist or Buddhist doctrine of non-action, doesnt try to cause anything, including forcing others do things- except obey the laws of physics and collapse when h e pummels them, while nonetheless being ready for whatever they may throw at him.Caution about PassionWhat about passion? If construed as the opposite of self-control, when should it be held in check or reined in? One clue to an answer is whether it is seen as control that is relinquished, surrendered or waived, or, instead, lost.It can be argued that when control is voluntarily relinquished it is probably safe to do so. As examples of this kind of relinquished control, theres allowing others to tickle you, agreeing to skinny dip or choosing to resign as CEO in order to spend more time with the family or golfing.On the other hand, when what is experienced feels like a loss of control and a complete surrender to the moment, things can get very tricky and muddy. For example, surrendering to heat of sensual passion can feel like loss of control, feel very good and turn out quite well for all concerned. Yet, when you read, He lost control and you are probably braced and rightly prepar ed to hear an unhappy story as the completion.This perspective may seem to be reinforced by the concept of the Passion of Christ, which somehow suggests a pawns passivity as a consequence or in the face of a loss of control over ones fate, seized by ones persecutors. However, a careful look at the etymology of passion suggests otherwise, and, at most, an emotional connection with what we (should) do, rather than an obstacle to it. In this connection, it has been suggested thatThe Latin word, passionem, which means to endure, welches tagged onto the word pie (which means suffering) Note as in Michelangelos Pieta and later imbued with the sense of the Greek word pathos to create the meaning of passion, as the endurance of great suffering (as that of Jesus) and that the modern meaning, which may have derived from some poetic wordplay on the sufferings of love was not used until the early 1600s, but has gradually become more commonly used than the original meaning.Another complication i s that passion and self-control are not always mutually exclusive a passionate research scientist toiling to find a cure for the cancer that has afflicted his wife will nonetheless be utterly disciplined and self-controlled in his lab work. Such an easily comprehended scenario merely reflects the fact that we can be intensely passionate about our goals, yet in complete self-control and control of the elements constituting or related to the means.Even the kung fu master is likely to passionately defend his values while calmly defending himself from physical attack or stoically tolerating it.As for Al Pacino, the degree of self-control and discipline that underlies his passionate portrayals further illustrates not only how passionate ends can require self-controlled means, but also quite the oppositeHow passionate means, e.g., fiery dramatic performances, help achieve very disciplined, focused and cool-headed or equally passionately held goals, e.g., to become a master of ones craft a nd of huge troves of wealth and fame.

10 MustRead Facts for Mustangs

10 MustRead Facts for Mustangs 10 MustRead Facts for Mustangs 10 Must-Read Facts for MustangsThe Mustang Fords revolutionary pony car turns 50 this year. The iconic four-seat muscle car is revered for its revved up performance, its revolutionary profile, and its lasting reverberations in American popular culture.Ford and several Mustang fan organizations have big plans to celebrate the milestone, kicking off in Norman, OK, with a bi-directional long-distance Pony Drive. Twin convoys of Mustangs and their devoted drivers will head en masse to two simultaneous Ford-sanctioned events at speedways in Las Vegas and Charlotte over Easter weekend. But you dont need to be there or even be a Mustang fan to appreciate the cars dual impact on automotive engineering and popular culture. In celebration of the Mustangs milestone, here are 10 of the most notable facts from the pony cars past.10. Father of the PonyThe genesis of the Mustang begins with the professional rise of engineer Lee Iacoc ca the man often considered, over his objections, to be the Father of the Mustang. From the beginning, the Mustang welches a pacesetter in konzeption and performance, but it welches not easy to get it out of the Ford starting gate. This pony was too wild it bucked tradition, but it couldnt throw the tenacious engineer-turned-executive.Iacocca graduated with an undergraduate engineering degree from Lehigh University and went on to earn a masters from Princeton in 1946. He joined Ford as an engineering trainee the same year. Though his talents drew him to sales, his engineering know-how would serve him well. Recently kicked upstairs to head the Ford division, Iacocca stepped into his role determined there was a new and yet-to-be identified car buyer out there looking for a dream car that didnt then exist. In 1962, he assembled a super-secret automotive A-team of engineers, designers, product planners, market researchers, and ad men the Fairlane Committee to plot Fords future. A do zen or so clandestine meetings later, muscle car history was made. More than one million Mustangs were built in its first two years of production. It was Fords greatest hit since the Model T.Philip Clarks original 1962 sketch of the Mustang horse badge. ansehen Ford.com9. Whats Not in a NameWhat do you call a totally new car for a totally new category of customer? Some team members proposed naming it after things that fly Special Falcon, XT-Bird, Thunderbird II, Comet. Others went for exotic-sounding foreign names Avanti, Avventura, Allegro, Stiletto, Monte Carlo, Torino. Still others voted for a name with four legs Cougar, Bronco, Cheetah, Puma, Colt. Many of these names found their way onto later car emblems, but Ford stuck with Mustang for the sporty low-slung original.Although many fans maintain the Mustang name honors the WWII-era P-51 Mustang fighter plane, the moniker has always had an equine connection. The misconception persists because its at least partly true. The airp lane was indeed an inspiration for the Mustang name on a long and very preliminary list of ideas pitched for the still-conceptual car. A few years later, on the strength of emblem designer Phillip Clarks vivid sketches of horses in motion, the name was pitched again, this time as a symbol of Americas small, hardy, half-wild horse. Mustang had its brand.8. E-Guys Finish LastThe Mustang success story in many ways begins with an equally famous flop, the Edsel. Originally called the E-car for experimental, Fords new Edsel marquee bombed big. In the early 1960s the multimillion-dollar losses were still racking up. The Edsels status as a lemon soured board chairman Henry Ford II on experimental concepts like the Mustang for years. Fords pejorative tag E-guy meant an executives career was running on fumes.7. Sexy, Fast, and Cheap?Ford market research showed that young car buyers knew just what they wanted in a car, and it was nothing that didnt already exist. However, those features were i mpossible to find in the same car. What they wanted was a contradiction in terms, Iacocca told author Robert A. Fria in his history Mustang Genesis. New drivers and young professionals sought the Thunderbirds sex appeal, the Ferraris racy lines, and the Volkswagens compact price tag. At the time, he said, you could not expect to turn heads, win races, or save gas in a car that cost only $2,500. Enter the Mustang.6. Big Wheel on CampusBy 1963, a Mustang experimental prototype was strutting its stuff in exhibitions on major U.S. speedways. Purdue University officials invited Ford to bring the model to campus to give its engineering students a sneak peek at the auto industrys future. They turned out in droves, prompting the company to launch a 17-campus national tour exposing the prototype to more than 63,000 college students. The intent was to interest good engineering students in a Ford career but the company also pre-sold 500 Mustangs in the process.In the 1968 movie Bullitt, a seve n-minute chase scene featured a Ford Mustang GT 390 Fastback. Image Wikimedia Commons5. Manly Yes, but Mom Likes It TooThe Mustang has a macho muscle-car prestige, but it was also the first car Ford specifically marketed to women. As the post-World War II economy stretched, women became a market sector to be reckoned with. Working women gained direct purchasing power and growing families suddenly had money for a second or third car. Stay-at-home moms and teenagers suddenly had a voice in the car buying decision. That could explain why ads of the time declared Mustang The sweetheart of the supermarket set.4. Star PowerMustangs flashy looks have landed it in starring roles from the beginning. From James Bond vehicles like Goldfinger and Diamonds are Forever, to Steve McQueens iconic two-seater in the king of car chase movies, Bullitt, Mustang has added muscle to more than 3,000 movies and television shows.3. FORTRAN on the FloorThe Mustang was Fords first foray into computer-aided des ign. With the mighty FORTRAN program calculating the curves, nascent CAD technologies mapped out the novel suspension design protocol.2. First, at LastMany of Fords design and engineering innovations behind 1962s two-seat Mustang prototype were repurposed in the GT-40, the first entry in Fords new performance era and the first LeMans win for an American manufacturer. Soon titans of the track like Al Uncer, Mario Andretti, and A.J. Foyt were winning races with Fords new performance-powered engines. In 1965, a Ford car flew under the checkered flag of the Indianapolis 500 for the first time, leaving Fords dull image in the dust.1. Beatles, Ponies, and Kids Gone WildOne memorable Sunday night in February 1964, a record 73 million Americans were glued to TV screens as the Beatles debuted on the Ed Sullivan Show. Five three-minute songs later, the below-30 set was calling most of the shots in American consumer trends. The next day, the first car designed specifically for those screaming teens began rolling down the assembly line.Michael MacRae is an independent writer.For Further Discussion The Mustang has a macho muscle-car image, but it was also the first car Ford specifically marketed to women.

Why giving my daughter permission to fail helped her succeed

Why giving my daughter permission to fail helped zu sich succeedWhy giving my daughter permission to fail helped her succeedWelcome toGreat Moments in Parenting, a series in which fathers explain a parenting hurdle they faced and the unique way they overcame it. Here, Adam a dad from Atlanta, Georgia, explains the excellent a-ha moment he had with his daughter when they were playing baskettanzabend.My daughter welches probably about eight years old. She was trying to playbasketballon the court. She had typically had a lot of problems getting the ball in the basket. Her upper body strength may not have been what it needed to be. She wastoo short, really, and she couldnt get that ball up there. Either she couldnt go high enough or it went wide.Follow Ladders on FlipboardFollow Ladders magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and moreIm certified in the Feldenkrais method of exercise therapy and its given me a lot of insight into how to re direct peoples learning processes. Im sure it informed my choice in how I approached the problem. I didnt want to tell her dont give up or push harder or keep trying. So I changed the goal for her.She was about to give up and I said, Do one more thing for me before you quit. I want you to take 20 shots at thatbasket, but I want you to miss. I dont want you to make any of the baskets. But I said, You cant just miss. You have to just barely miss. And if you get it in, you lose. I dont know why, but she went ahead and did it. After only a couple of shots, that ball started going in.She was surprised. I think it helped her. She did go on to play basketball with other kids in a league, and she did just fine, and that was great. But I knew why it worked - and I dont think she did, although maybe she knows why now. Shes almost 20 now. But it worked because first of all, we took the shame out of the whole activity. She was supposed tofail. So if she failed to fail, she would succeed. Basic ally, she was either going to succeed or she was going to succeed.Sometimes when we try to achieve a goal, theres a whole lot of baggage attached to that, and I just took the baggage away so all she had to focus on was the task. If my daughter had to shoot a goal, and she failed, it would change what kind of person she is to her,it said something about who she was as a person, and if she was successful. I knew she was susceptible to that kind of thought process because Im susceptible to that kind of thought process. By telling her she had to just barely miss the goal, thats such a strange thing to do that she couldnt attach it to any emotional resonance in herself. It was just weird.Like, why would you try to just barely miss? So she was completely focused on the actual activity. And because she wasnt a fantastic basketball player, she couldnt just barely miss. Instead, she got it in, because you have to be really good to just barely miss the goal, but if youre not that good, youre going to get it in.The Feldenkrais Method examines a persons ability to understand their own capacity by taking away everything except for the idea of functional movement. The method has people engage in some kind of movement task - like reaching, twisting, or turning, and adding some kind of examination to that which is curious, patient and tends to have no goals attached to it. If that activity is done curiously, it takes away all the stress. Its such a strange movement, just like the basketball goal thing, that you get really interested in exactly what it is youre doing. When you start paying attention to what youre doing as opposed to who you should be, amazing things can happen. When you come out of that exploration, you find that your body image has changed, you feel different, you walk different, and you can do different things.It changed everything. It changed the way she looked at the goal and the way she thought about using her arms and her body and it worked. I was reall y pleased that it worked. It didnt necessarily have to, but Im really happy that it did.Basketball has never been a huge part of her life or anything like that, but she was on the court and she was frustrated that she couldnt get the ball in. So it was a great moment for her. I just had an insight and I was able to sufficiently create alessonthat I didnt have any attachment to, whether she got that in the goal or not.This article first appeared on Fatherly.You might also enjoyNew neuroscience reveals 4 rituals that will make you happyStrangers know your social class in the first seven words you say, study finds10 lessons from Benjamin Franklins daily schedule that will double your productivityThe worst mistakes you can make in an interview, according to 12 CEOs10 habits of mentally strong people

A lot of geschftslebenes and employers are beginning to use technology as an addition to their conventional working lives in order to make their jobs easier. Video interviewing is one of these technologies.What is video interviewing?A video interview is a modern and digital way of giving someone a job interview with the use of a computer and a webcam. Its used as the sieve that narrows down the remaining resumes to the final few who are invited for in-person job interviews.Typically, companies will receive hundreds or thousands of applications when they advertise for a job opening. The process of sorting through all of these applications and narrowing them down for interviews can be quite a time consuming job. It would usually consist of reading through on-paper resumes and evaluating whether or not an applicant could be a good match for the job role by analyzing their skills and experience in the given sector.However, with the use of video interviewing, employers can take a faster route to locating the best applicants and eventually finding the right person for the job.How does it work?Video interviewing is the next step after sorting through resumes. Once the employer has sorted through the resumes and excluded the ones that arent up to standards, they can then infasson the remaining applicants that they will be given the opportunity to express themselves through a video interview.This cuts down on the time it takes to entirely sort through all of the resumes and narrow them down to the interviewees. This can be a very long process. It takes a lot of consideration and the employer is basing their decision entirely on an on-paper resume. However, with the use of a video interview, the employer simply has to dismiss all of the useless applications and give the rest a chance to show what they can bring to the company.The video interview could be one-way, which requires the applicant to answer the given questions within the time limit and send it back to the employer in the form of a video. This allows the employer to analyse the candidates confidence and speaking skills, as well as anything else they suggest that they can bring to the table.If the candidate answers all the questions sufficiently, this gives the employer an easier decision to make. Comparing video interviews practically side-by-side is not only a faster and easier way of narrowing down candidates, but allows for a better portrayal of each candidate, as opposed to how they come across on paper.A video interview can also be two-way, between the employer and the interviewee. It would consist of the employer asking the candidate a set of questions and allowing them to answer over live video. This is similar to a one-way video interview, however it also allows the employer to analyse the communication skills of t he candidate on the spot.Some companies even accept video resumes instead of conventional paper ones. These give the candidate the opportunity to communicate himself or herself to the employer in a professional and more realistic manner.What are the overall advantages of video interviewing?Applicants are able to express themselves more freelyA faster way of sieving through large amounts of applicationsWork as a decision maker if an employer is stuck on a particular resumeAllow employers to make a side-by-side comparison of candidatesA more realistic portrayal of a candidateWith this in mind, its not surprising that companies are choosing to use video interviewing as a way of saving time and giving themselves a better opportunity to hire the perfect employee.About the AuthorCharlotte Ellis is a freelancer and blogger,specializingin the careers andbusiness sectors.
