Health. Many studies have found that
people who regularly volunteer tend to lead
healthier lives and have a reduced risk of
heart disease. The jury is still out as to why
exactly this is, but giving back to others
seems to reduce stress, build confidence and
increase a person’s sense of satisfaction. These
psychological factors play an enormous role
in our physical health.
While they help create connections and
build community, volunteers also get a huge
amount of personal benefits from their work.
Better health, a sense of satisfaction and joy
that comes with helping others are only a few
of the reasons why more people are deciding
to give their time to others.
Community. In our digital age when
everyone is engrossed in their smartphones
and seem to be locked in their own world,
connecting with others - whether it’s those in
need or other volunteers - is more important
than ever. This is what happened when BCBS
companies spearheaded efforts to improve
health care access for the uninsured and
under-insured. Volunteers helped at mobile
clinics and food banks and with educational
programs, making invaluable contributions
and connections in their communities.
Family. When their employer gives them
the opportunity to take a day or two off to
volunteer, many people bring their family
along. The reason is simple: coming together
to do something for others is an incredible
bonding experience and can really strengthen
relationships. •

5 Essential Soft Skills
For A Job Interview
(BPT) - Picture this: After months of
networking and polishing your resume, you
managed to make the necessary connections,
get in front of the right people and land an
interview.
You deserve to be here. After all, you have
an impressive background, great experience,
fantastic references and are confident you
can exceed the requirements of the job. The
interview is really just a formality.
For many, the hardest part of the job hunt
is simply getting an interview. However,
many top candidates get passed over and are
surprised when they are not offered a job.
The reason for this is they often spend a lot
of time practicing how to answer questions
and explaining their qualifications, but forget
about the soft skills.
A successful interview is about making the
right impression, and these five soft skills
are essential to making the impression that
leads to a job offer.
1. A memorable appearance. We all know
you need to dress your best before going
into an interview, but you should go the
extra mile to ensure the person you meet
with remembers you. In addition to looking
clean, tidy and professional, dress in a way
that makes you feel confident and will make
others notice.
2. Be ready to floss on the go. If someone
notices something in your teeth, a piece of
spinach or fleck of cereal, they won’t be able
to see anything else. Before any interview,
be sure to have a pack of Plackers Flossers
with you. Made with strong floss that can
quickly remove any gunk stuck in your teeth,
these convenient one-handed flossers also
double as a toothpick. Don’t leave home
without them!
3. Exude confidence. Beyond just making
you look good, the big reason behind dressing
well and double checking that your teeth
are clean and free of gunk is because this
will give you confidence. Hiring managers
can tell the difference between someone
who is confident and someone who is not.
Needless to say, they’re more impressed by
confidence! So even if you’re nervous, dress
up, keep clean, give a firm handshake and-if
you have to-fake it until you make it!
4. Keep it positive. How you answer
questions is often just as important as the
answers you give. Always frame what you
say in a positive note. In describing difficult
managers or poor work conditions at other
companies, frame it as a challenge you were
happy to take on, an opportunity to learn and
grow. Most importantly, remember to smile!
5. Eat well. You might be nervous and lose
your appetite, but be sure you eat well the
night before and the morning of the interview.
Whole grains and foods loaded with fatty acids,
such as salmon, eggs and kale, can help you
feel great and relaxed for the interview. Just
remember to have a few Plackers Flossers on
hand so that energizing meal doesn’t become
an unsightly mess in your mouth! •
