Keep Your Career Edge Part 1: Never Stop Learning
June 20, 2008
J. Nisen--HispanicBusiness.com
Every June, a legion of fresh, motivated, talented individuals don mortarboards and gowns to symbolize their ascendancy into the workforce. Indeed, recent college graduates tend to grab many of the employment-related headlines, as reporters and columnists seek to help them on the path to their first full-time jobs.
But what about the vast majority of the workforce? The journeyman professionals and mid-level executives who are discovering some challenges mid-career, whether driven by the economic business cycle, changes in career goals, or the shifting priorities that come with maturity? Just because they are road-tested professionals doesn't mean they have all the answers. With changing workplace and life dynamics, some may need guidance as much as the recent graduates.
Fortunately, taking a cue from those recent graduates, experts agree that there's a solution that can help mitigate economic doldrums, career burnout, and life's curveballs -- continuing education.
Economic Realities
Many economic factors -- including high gas prices, the shrinking dollar, fallout from the subprime crisis, and tight credit markets -- are forcing companies to cut costs and improve efficiencies. Unfortunately, personnel moves, such as layoffs or attrition, are common solutions. The positions most likely to be on the chopping block could be those that carry higher salaries. This practice, however, could prove to be shortsighted.
Gloria Castillo, president of Chicago United, an organization dedicated to fostering sustainable workplace diversity at the executive level, believes that "Retention should be a key goal for companies even in tough times."
She told HispanicBusiness.com that, "It is important for companies to batten down the hatches while also being prepared to aggressively compete . . . to acquire critical talent when the economy turns around."
However, should an institution take a shortsighted view of the economic cycle, how can a mid-career professional help ensure that he or she is indispensable? Ms. Castillo indicates that education and communication are key.
"Employed professionals should be constantly honing their skills and leveraging opportunities within their companies," she said. Additionally, "it is important that they inform their leaders and managers that they are actively engaged in helping the company achieve its goals."
Keith Wyche, president of U.S. operations for Pitney Bowes Management Services and author of the upcoming book "'Good is Not Enough,' and Other Rules for Minority Professionals," agrees. He says that during tough economic times a company will determine what its value in the marketplace is. Then, when making personnel decisions, it will ask, "Who are the people who, based upon performance and results, are best suited to help us to deliver that value to the marketplace?"
"Regardless of what your position is in the organization, there are results or expectations that define whether you are successful or unsuccessful in your role," says Wyche. "Make it a priority to understand what those critical success factors are, and take the time to document them and measure your performance against them on a regular basis."
However, even when taking precautionary steps, a talented professional could end up looking for a new position. All the more reason, says Josh Warborg, President, Pacific Northwest District for Robert Half International, to keep up with one's professional education.
"Staying current makes you competitive in the market," he told us. Specifically, he believes that mid-career professionals should continue to improve their skills.
"Don't be complacent and always continue to take your career seriously," he said. "Welcome more challenges at work as you improve your on-the-job skill set. Earning certifications, like a CPA or CMA, in addition to advanced degrees, can certainly benefit."
Updating your resume on a regular basis is also critical, says Bill Krutzen, Director of HireDiversity.com. Job candidates often only update their resumes when they are out of work and actively looking for a new job. Recalling specific job achievements or new skill sets can be difficult to remember over the past few years. Resumes need to be looked at as living documents that need constant updating.
Ms. Castillo also reminds professionals to "own their professional development programs," by pursuing educational opportunities both within the company and by utilizing external efforts.
Ultimately, bettering your skills will make you more marketable within your own company and more attractive to other companies.
Education can also be a very important function in combating career burnout--please join us for part two of this series next week.

Hispanic MBAs – America needs them!
Originally published in TopMBA.com
Written by: Marie Field
It is estimated that more than 300 million people around the world speak Spanish. In the US alone, 35 million people speak the language and the country’s Hispanic population is rapidly growing. While English remains the international language of business, there is no doubt that an understanding of the Spanish language is right up there with Mandarin as an important asset to successful commerce. And it isn’t just language – but knowledge and experience of Hispanic cultural intricacies and values that are imperative to understanding Spanish-speaking markets.
With high demand from companies around the world for strategic thinkers with a deep understanding of Hispanic culture, it is surprising that such a small share of business-school applicants are indeed Hispanic. According to GMAC – the council responsible for the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), in the US alone, there was a five per cent decline in Hispanic American test-takers in 2006, from the previous year.
Jose Antonio Cruzado, Director of the QS World MBA Tour Latin American leg, reports that while there may be a decline in Hispanic GMAT test-takers in countries like the US, this doesn’t mean a lack of interest in MBA programs amongst Spanish speakers worldwide. “Our fairs in countries like Chile, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, and Venezuela have oversold this year,” says Jose Antonio. “People know very well that there is an exceptionally high demand among recruiters to hire people immersed in Hispanic culture, particularly when it comes to marketing.”
Jaime Martinez, Associate Director and Admissions Consultant at Finisterra, an MBA admissions consultancy group based in Mexico City, explains, “Latin American students have the skills and command of language and are therefore very valuable to the organizations which they may wish to join in the Spanish market – either in the EU or Latin America.”
Latin American MBAs have a good chance at joining the ranks of commerce teams in the US (if this is their goal), so even if fewer Hispanic Americans are graduating from business school, there will still be a highly qualified group of graduates to cover the booming Hispanic market in the US. And of course, Spanish-speaking MBAs from the US will have excellent opportunities.
The National Society of Hispanic MBAs (NSHMBA) aims to promote business education in the community, and has done well. As a fundamental goal, the organization aims to increase the number of Hispanics on Fortune 500 boards, in addition to promoting leadership of Hispanic professionals. One initiative the NSHMBA has taken is awarding scholarships to high-achieving Hispanics who wish to take on the MBA – a big step forward to increasing the number of Hispanic MBAs available to take on necessary business.
American corporations are also recognizing the gap in Hispanic talent. Companies like Coca Cola, Pfizer, Citibank, and P&G donate money to the scholarship pool, all too well knowing that future revenues and company image depend on this demographic, a demographic that after all makes up 13% of the US population. And for those who have already earned their MBAs – career opportunities are only beginning to multiply.

IBERO-AMERICAN EXPRESSIONS IN MANHATTAN
Three artists from Spain and two from Chile come together in Jadite Galleries in New York City to present the message of Expressions. The exhibition, Expressions, represents the passion and romance in the Spanish language translated unto the canvas, and these artists have captured those feelings in their works of art. Each artist brings its own version of Expressions, and together they create an impressive collage that is just as moving as the individual pieces.
These artists, some of whom are first time exhibitors to the New York art scene, bring their own interpretation of the language they share. Each one, much like their languages, slightly different, but they all stem from the same source causing similarities to become apparent, although vague in cases. Curator Marta Sozzi, and Director Roland Sainz, long time associates bring these Ibero-American gems to New York City for exposure. Marta Sozzi, an artist herself, found the artists and brought them together for Expressions, picking each one individually to maintain the overarching theme and idea.
The New York Chapter of the National Association of Hispanic MBAs (NSHMBA) joins the opening night celebration of Expressions. The organization, with32 chapters in the United States and Puerto Rico, has a diverse mix of members ranging from not only MBA students, but also undergraduates all the way to professionals. The majority of the organization’s members are of Hispanic origin, however, the over 7,000 members come from different ethnic groups. This diversity gives the NSHMBA members an incomparable edge not only in the business world, but in life; which is why NSHMBA New York decided to invite its members to the opening night of Expressions; non-members are welcome for a small fee. The networking event will occur on September 2nd, at Jadite Galleries in midtown, and will include champagne and wine, sponsored by Moët Hennessy USA, Inc., as well as hors d'oeuvres, compliments of Jadite Galleries and NSHMBA New York.Expressions is presented by Jadite Galleries in association with Marta Sozzi.
