— Are older workers job hoarding, hurting economy? 44% of young employees say
graying workforce is a problem. – AP (DIERSEN: My GAO superiors and supervisors
hinted/implied/argued/shouted that their Democrat employees who were younger,
minority, female, and/or veteran wanted GAO to get rid of its Republican
employees who were older, White, male, and/or non-veteran.) https://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-biz-older-workers-blocking-jobs-poll-20190606-story.html (FROM THE ARTICLE: ore
older Americans are forgoing the concept of a traditional retirement at the age
of 65, a trend that some younger workers aren’t particularly thrilled to see. A
recent poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research
found that workers under the age of 50 were significantly more likely to view
America’s aging workforce as a negative development when compared with their
older counterparts. About 4 in 10 respondents ages 18 to 49 and 44% of the
youngest respondents ages 18 to 29 said they consider the trend to be a bad
thing for American workers. Just 14% of those age 60 and over said the same.
“I don’t think in things like IT and medicine you’re as effective a worker
(at 65 years old) as you are at 50,” says Katie Otting, a 29-year-old
living in Southern California. “If some 65-year-old is in a position that
he’s not ready to quit because he wants a better pension and there’s someone else
ready to take that job, they’re not going to replace him.” An aging
population, elevated health care costs and lingering financial uncertainty
following the Great Recession all are believed to be contributing to America’s
steadily graying workforce. Nearly 20% of Americans over the age of 65 were
employed or actively looking for work last year, up from less than 12% two
decades prior, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.)

Documents obtained from Murray State University challenge former Southern
Illinois University President Randy Dunn’s claim that he did nothing to
“fast-track” the hiring of the son of a former SIU trustee while president of
MSU. The documents, obtained by The Southern via the Kentucky Open Records Act,
show Dunn signed a hiring process exemption, also known as a search waiver, to
hire Tyson Manering — son of former SIU Trustee Donna Manering — as an
international recruiter at MSU. The exemption allowed Murray State to hire
Tyson Manering outside of its standard search and hiring protocols. Generally,
filling a position like Manering’s would have required forming a search
committee to vet applicants, interview top candidates, and collectively make a
hire, MSU policy indicates. In this case, Manering was selected directly, via
the exemption, 12 days before the international recruiter job was ever publicly
posted, and more than two weeks before he submitted his online job application,
records show.)

Highlight your strengths and what is most relevant to the potential employer.
Place the strongest and most relevant points first where they are more apt to
be read in order to hook the reader. Match the needs of the hiring company.
Review job postings online and in the newspapers for positions that interest
you. Each listing will almost always have a brief blurb about the company and
the position available. Read the job description closely, and use the key words
listed in these ads, and match them to the bullet points in your resume. Tailor
your resume to the position. Be positive. For instance, if you feel your past
graduation date will subject you to age discrimination, leave it off the
resume. Focus on the duties that do support your objective and curtail or omit
irrelevant personal information like your race.)

have been many — is the weakening of traditional standards of argument and
proof in the public debate over allegations that the Trump campaign conspired
with Russia to fix the 2016 election. (Just for the record: It didn’t.) In
particular, angry disputes about the president have done terrible harm to the
principle that an investigator, be it a journalist or a prosecutor, should meet
at least some standard of proof before leveling an accusation.)

— On ‘Seeking: digital natives’ – ANGELA COPELAND (DIERSEN: How long have you
had your email address? I have had diersen@aol.com for
more than 24 years, since January of 1995 when I was 46 years old. How long
have you owned a computer system? I have owned a computer system since 1982
when I was 34 years old. While I worked for GAO during the 1990s, before GAO
provided its staff with computer systems, I bought several computer systems and
used them in my office. I published Milton Township Republican Central
Committee’s (MTRCC) first website in 2000 and served as MTRCC’s webmaster
2000-2004 and 2008-2010. I published Milton Township’s first website in 2001
and served as its webmaster 2001-2003. I served as Illinois Center Right
Coalition’s webmaster 2004-2006. I have been sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails

since 2005. I have been on Facebook since January of 2009.) https://www.times-standard.com/2019/05/26/career-corner-seeking-digital-natives/ (FROM THE ARTICLE: This
term makes sense at first. But, the definition of a digital native, according
to Dictionary.com, is “a person born or brought up during the age of digital
technology and therefore familiar with computers and the internet from an early
age.” Those who are turning forty this year probably started to use the
internet around 1995, when they were sophomores in high school — if they were
lucky. That was in the time of the dial-up modem and America Online. Their
parents were ahead of the game to have a home computer then. In all likelihood,
they really began to use computers when they went to college. It should be
noted that I’m omitting early Mac computers and things like Atari for the
purposes of this column. I’m talking about the real-deal internet. Digital
natives had the internet in elementary school or middle school. Wikipedia says
digital natives “are often used to describe the digital gap in terms of the
ability of technological use among people born from 1980 onward and those born
before.” By this definition, a digital native would be 38 years old or younger
today. Let that soak in. A job description that specifically requests that
someone is 38 years old or less. Why does this happen? I don’t have the answer
for you. I’d like to know this myself. I thought that the idea of a job posting
was to hire someone with a certain skillset rather than a certain age. I also
heard this rumor that discriminating on the basis of age when hiring is not
allowed. In fact, I think there may be something called the Age Discrimination
in Employment Act.)

— How Can You Tell if a Job Candidate Is Lying About Their Credentials? – Adam
C. Uzialko https://www.businessnewsdaily.com/11314-background-check-candidate-credentials.html (FROM THE ARTICLE: When
employers don’t want to conduct candidate verification themselves or feel it
would be better handled by a professional third party, there are background
check services. These companies are available to screen candidates, usually for
a per-candidate fee, and provide background check reports for the employer’s
review. Background checks generally review criminal history at the federal and
state level, as well as verify past employment and educational attainment.
“Manual verification of job candidates, especially in high-volume
situations, may be impractical,” Chancey said. “For best results,
employers should consider partnering with a reliable background screening
vendor. Look for a vendor whose screening platform is easy to use and takes out
the hassle of verifying multiple candidates, integrates with other HR systems
such as the applicant tracking system, and whose capabilities can be customized
to the needs of your organization.”)

Government Accountability Office staff fell by one-third, from 4,572 to 2,989.) https://prospect.org/article/pelosi-must-not-run-congress-trump-ran-his-businesses (FROM THE ARTICLE: A
quarter-century ago, Newt Gingrich set out to destroy Congress as a force for
progress, slashing the House’s funding by 14 percent and eviscerating its
support agencies, like the Office of Technology Assessment, which drafted
reports on emerging scientific and technological issues. In the last decade,
House Republicans literally decimated funding for the House. Overall funding
for the legislative branch is down by $370 million in constant dollars over the
last decade alone, and funding for committees over that time has dropped by 22
percent—from $432 million to $329 million in constant dollars. Congress is a
shadow of itself. What this means in terms of personnel, for example, is House
committee staff fell by one-third from 1994 to 2016, from 1,947 people to

expertise of and resources available to the rump of remaining staff have
dropped precipitously, and few in power have any real experience governing. As
if you couldn’t tell. To sum up, Congress is in no shape to take on Trump.)

attention. Here are some formulas for achieving the aim. – Patricia Cohen
(DIERSEN: Affirmative Action (AA), Diversity, and Inclusion are reparations.
The Democrats who run the federal government use AA, Diversity, Inclusion,
up-or-out, budget cuts, etc. to make their Republican employees who are White,
male, older, and/or non-veteran pay the price of AA, Diversity, and Inclusion,
that is, pay reparations.)

— Charging Rent When Your Adult Kid Moves Home Many parents don’t charge their
boomerang children rent, but some experts say that’s a mistake – Beth DeCarbo
(DIERSEN: After you earned your bachelor’s degree, did you live with your
parents? My father died suddenly in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21. My mother
had never attended high school and she had never worked outside of our home.
After I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in August of 1970, I
applied for and eventually got a financial hardship draft deferment to help
support my mother and brother. I lived with my mother and brother in our Crete
home and helped pay their bills until September of 1972 when I bought a new
town home in University Park. I helped pay their bills with money that I earned
a) working for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights full-time 1970-1971 and
part-time 1971-1972 and b) working IRS in Chicago during 1971 and then in
Harvey.) https://www.wsj.com/articles/charging-rent-when-your-adult-kid-moves-home-11558603801
— The ‘Underpaid Teachers’ Myth – Jason Richwine and Andrew G. Biggs (DIERSEN:
According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, the
federal government grossly overpaid me. In my defense, first, none of my
critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes would have taken the jobs
that I held because the pay was too low. Second, most, if not virtually all of
them lack education, work experience, professional certifications, etc.
required for the jobs. And third, I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree
when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and
48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47,
and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32.) https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-underpaid-teachers-myth-11558565415

— What’s your why? Share it with your audience to sustain your future. –
Jennifer Hefty https://medium.com/trusting-news/whats-your-why-share-it-with-your-audience-to-sustain-your-future-a070669f317 (FROM THE ARTICLE: Why
do we do it? Why do we work in a highly unstable career with no job security?
Why do we cover stories so unimaginably terrible that sometimes all that’s left
for us to do at the end of the day is cry? Why do we endure a high-pressure,
fast-paced environment with little pay while at the same time dealing with a
constant barrage of criticism from those we are trying to serve? (You’ve
unfortunately probably heard some of this before: you’re a liberal rag; you’re
in Politician X’s pocket; have you EVER even HEARD of a copy editor?) We do it
because we care. We do it because our passion for our communities runs deep in
our veins. We do it because we feel a responsibility to tell our neighbors’
stories, keep our cities safe and hold our governments accountable. We do it
because we can’t imagine doing anything else. Historically, we haven’t been
very good at telling the story of our why. But it’s one that is key to
sustaining local journalism for years to come. As the news industry continues to
face more layoffs, I’ve heard my colleagues ask, “So what can we do? How can we
help ensure the future of our news organization?”)
