  • How Rude! Minding Your Manners at Work

    June 29, 2015

    We have all seen rude behavior at work. The co-worker who becomes absorbed into their phone mid-meeting or the colleague who doesn’t clean up after themselves in a shared space. What do you consider rude work behavior and do you feel it is on the rise? A growing number of psychologists do and they are conducting research on incivility in the workplace. Polls are finding that most Americans feel civility has declined, not just making the workplace unpleasant but ultimately having an impact on work productivity and well-being — even beyond the cubicle.

  • Résumé Font: What Does It Say about You?

    June 17, 2015

    Your résumé often creates an employer’s very first impression of you as a candidate.

  • FROM THE ARCHIVE – Families and Science: Can They Mix?

    June 10, 2015

    Are you thinking about starting a family? Or, perhaps you have children and know all too well the challenges of finding your own work-life balance. The OITE Career Blog is reposting a three part series from the archive about having a family during one’s scientific training. In this series, we asked grad students, postdocs, and clinical fellows questions about parenthood in an attempt to compile a list of pros/cons and general advice. Question #1: Why was this a good time for you to start a family? https://oitecareersblog.od.nih.gov/2011/08/18/families-and-science-can-they-mix/ Question # 2: What were the challenges you faced? https://oitecareersblog.od.nih.gov/2011/08/29/families-and-training-part-2/ Question # 3: Do you have any advice for NIH trainees thinking about…
