What To Do When You’re Nervous About Your New Job

In addition to doing the work itself, you have to learn about a whole new office ecosystem — the physical space itself, the personal connections within it, the routines that have been created without you in mind — and figure out how you fit into everything.

Introverts out there are certainly imploding on sight at the question in the title of this section, but there are some people out there who truly don’t see what the big deal is when it comes to working someplace new.

People like this — extroverts, typically — love the chance to put themselves in new situations, challenge themselves, meet new people, and explore their own capabilities by utilizing those skills in the context of a different job or company.

Thankfully, most people out there experience at least some trepidation when it comes to a new work situation, so odds are you’ll meet at least one person out there who can sympathize with your nervousness.

The fact is that a new job always comes with a host of new variables that can make any sense of comfort feel incredibly remote. All that stuff you either learned at your last job or have been slowly putting together in theory during your time at school?

And in the event that your new job functions relatively (or even completely) similarly to your last one, you’re still in a brand new company with brand new people, and it’s essential that you (quickly) figure out how things work here.

What to Do to Calm Down Before Going Into Your New Job

Get a good night’s sleep. Not technically a morning thing, but make sure you got some sleep the night before. Take a sleep aid if you’re having trouble getting sleep on your own, or if you know you have trouble falling asleep normally. It’s critical that you be as rested as possible on your first day.

Wake up early. If you’re stressed and are having trouble sleeping, this might be a decision your body makes on your behalf, but either way it’s good to have some extra time in the morning before you go in for your first day.

Wear something nice on your first day. It’s ok if you’re a little overdressed compared to the rest of the office. For one thing, it’s better to err on the side of caution when it comes to office dress codes (you can always dress more casually later on), and for another, you’re more likely to feel confident in yourself during the rest of the day if you’re dressed in a way that makes you feel good about yourself.

Eat breakfast. Do it, nerd. We know you “don’t normally eat breakfast.” We know you “just don’t feel hungry when you wake up.” We know you might be “too nervous.” Just eat. It is scientifically better for you to eat breakfast than to not.

Prepare as much as possible. Look into your new responsibilities or a new way of completing duties you’re familiar with. If you can talk to your manager about what’s expected of you before your first day, you can start to brush up on your skills and knowledge.

Manage your expectations. You may want to jump into your new job and immediately start adding value — that’s a great attitude, but don’t put too much pressure on yourself to start off as an expert. The first couple of weeks are a learning experience, so keep that in mind and relax, even if you don’t know everything.

Express your anxiety. Often, the best way to dispel anxiety is to simply talk about it with a trusted confidante. They can remind you of how awesome you are and why you earned the job in the first place.

If there’s nobody around to talk to, try journaling about your feelings. Your anxieties may feel a little less unresolvable once you put them down on paper and look at them objectively.

Plan something nice for yourself. Hey, your first day might be stressful, but be kind to yourself and plan something fun or relaxing after your first day at the new job. This will provide motivation throughout the day and help you realize that work isn’t everything.

7 Tips to Overcome New Job Nerves and Anxiety

You have exciting new opportunities before you as you prepare to begin your new career. To help you overcome your anxiety and move confidently into your new position, there are a few strategies you can employ. Here are the top seven we recommend.

When your employer offered you this new position, they selected you from all the other candidates. In other words, after examining your skills and experience, they decided that you were the right person for the job. From your resume to your job interview, you made a good first impression. Now, remember that this was also the right impression. Put that imposter syndrome aside and remind yourself that you can do this.

It can be a challenge to keep this simple piece of advice in mind, especially when you’re nervous, as confidence in your ability can quickly fly out the window. However, some find it helpful to write a positive mantra on a piece of paper and put it somewhere they can see it on their way to work.

You Won’t Know Everything — and That’s OK

As you walk into work for the first time, remember that it’s OK not to absorb everything in the first few days. New hires have a learning curve as they begin to master new business systems and operations. Any logical co-worker or new boss will know that you’re still learning and be willing to help you when you need it.

However, as you go through the onboarding process, take the time to ask questions and make sure you fully understand what they’re training you to do. This will help make a great first impression, as you show your dedication to understanding and doing the best job possible. It will also help you uncover important information that allows you to adapt faster. Let your job jitters inspire you to be particularly conscientious as you adjust.

Don’t freak out if mistakes happen, though. Just make sure to admit to your mistakes as early as possible. The faster mistakes are addressed, the easier it will be to correct any problems, helping you continue learning and growing in your new position.

Stay positive and set realistic expectations

Train your mind to focus on the wins and to see failures as learning experiences. Even the most experienced employee is bound to fall short of a goal now and then. And as a new employee, it’s going to take time to learn the ropes and best practices of your new workplace. Give yourself the chance to learn during this transitional period and use your missteps as a way to become a more efficient and knowledgeable employee.

Try not to clutter your daily to-do list with an excessive number of tasks. When starting out at a new job, it’s important to take things slow and celebrate every accomplishment and step forward. If you assign yourself too many tasks, you will become overwhelmed and won’t be able to get to them, and that will only add to your stress. Focus on your top few priorities each day. You will feel much more accomplished when you’re able to clear your to-do list on a daily basis.

Get enough sleep

Everyone says it for a reason: You need an adequate amount of sleep to be able to do your best work. Countless studies have consistently shown that adults need seven to eight hours of restful sleep each night in order to function at a high level the next morning. And at a new job, having a ready-to-go attitude is even more important as you are still working to make positive first impressions.

Simply do whatever you need to do to get a good night’s sleep. If you wake often during the night (or of the day, if you work overnights) and need to improve your sleep quality, try using blackout curtains, earplugs, a sleep mask, or essential oils to aid your sleep. If you have regular shift hours, try downloading a sleep pattern app to help you decide when exactly you should go to sleep each night in order to get an adequate amount of rest.

Whatever you do, don’t show up to work without having had enough sleep. Not only will you show up in a bad mood, but you’ll also be less productive during your shift, adding to your stress levels and making co-workers question why you were hired.

To conclude, new job anxiety and stress can be reduced by putting your mental health and wellbeing first: Exercise, sleep well, and make time for your family and hobbies. If you are feeling healthy and productive when you walk into work, you’ll start your first day off on a good foot. Train your mind to focus on the positives, set achievable goals, and learn from your mistakes. Manage your time wisely at work and avoid unnecessary negative interaction with co-workers by steering clear of workplace drama. By implementing these practical tips, you can thrive at your new job without being weighed down by unnecessary stress.

Working capital as a ratio is meaningful when it is compared, alongside activity ratios, the operating cycle and cash conversion cycle, over time and against a company’s peers. Taken together, managers and investors gain powerful insights into the short-term liquidity and operations of a business.

Working Capital

As a working capital example, here’s the balance sheet of Noodles & Company, a fast-casual restaurant chain. As of October 3, 2017, the company had $21.8 million in current assets and $38.4 million in current liabilities, for a negative working capital balance of -$16.6 million:

Current Ratio and Quick Ratio

A financial ratio that measures working capital is the current ratio, which is defined as current assets divided by current liabilities and is designed to provide a measure of a company’s liquidity:

As we’ll see shortly, this ratio is of limited use without context, but a general view is that a current ratio of > 1 implies a company is more liquid because it has liquid assets that can presumably be converted into cash and will more than cover the upcoming short-term liabilities.

Another closely related ratio is the quick ratio (or acid test) which isolates only the most liquid assets (cash and receivables) to gauge liquidity. The benefit of ignoring inventory and other non-current assets is that liquidating inventory may not be simple or desirable, so the quick ratio ignores those as a source of short term liquidity:

Working Capital Presentation on Cash Flow Statement

Reconciling Working Capital on the Balance Sheet with CFS

As it so happens, most current assets and liabilities are related to operating activities [1] (inventory, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, etc.) and are thus primarily clustered in the operating activities section of the cash flow statement under a section called “changes in operating assets and liabilities.”

Because most of the working capital items are clustered in operating activities, finance professionals generally refer to the “changes in operating assets and liabilities” section of the cash flow statement as the “changes in working capital” section.

However, this can be confusing since not all current assets and liabilities are tied to operations. For example, items such as marketable securities and short-term debt are not tied to operations and are included in investing and financing activities instead (although in the above example, Noodles & Co happened to not have any marketable securities or short-term debt).

Operating Items vs. Working Capital on the Cash Flow Statement

Adding to the confusion is that the “changes in operating activities and liabilities” (often called the “changes in working capital”) section of the cash flow statement commingles both current and long-term operating assets and liabilities. That’s because the purpose of the section is to identify the cash impact of all assets and liabilities tied to operations, not just current assets and liabilities.

For example, Noodles & Co classifies deferred rent as a long-term liability on the balance sheet and as an operating liability on the cash flow statement [2] . It is thus not included in the calculation of working capital, but it is included in the “changes in operating activities and liabilities” section (which we now know people often also refer to, confusingly, as “changes to working capital”).

Working Capital on Financial Statements

Interpreting Working Capital

Now that we’ve addressed how working capital is presented, what does working capital tell us? Let’s continue with our Noodles & Co example. What does the company’s negative $16.6 million working capital balance tell us?

For starters, it tells us that there are $16.6 million more liabilities coming due over the next year than assets that can be converted within the year. This might seem like a troubling metric. For example, if all of Noodles & Co’s accrued expenses and payables are due next month, while all the receivables are expected 6 months from now, there would be a liquidity problem at Noodles. They’d need to borrow, sell equipment or even liquidate inventory.

But the same negative working capital balance could be telling a completely different tale, namely of healthy and efficient working capital management, where accounts payables, accounts receivable and inventory are carefully managed to ensure that inventory is quickly sold and cash is quickly collected, allowing Noodles & Co to pay invoices as they come due and purchase more inventory without tying up cash and without skipping a beat. Further, Noodles & Co might have an untapped credit facility (revolving credit line) with sufficient borrowing capacity to address an unexpected lag in collection.

Our working capital position benefits from the fact that we generally collect cash from sales to customers the same day, or in the case of credit or debit card transactions, within several days of the related sale, and we typically have up to 30 days to pay our vendors. We believe that expected cash flow from operations, the proceeds received from the private placement transactions and existing borrowing capacity under our credit facility are adequate to fund debt service requirements, operating lease obligations, capital expenditures, the Restaurant Closing Liabilities, the Data Breach Liabilities and working capital obligations for the remainder of fiscal year 2017.

The Operating Cycle

Cash, accounts receivable, inventories and accounts payable are often discussed together because they represent the moving parts involved in a company’s operating cycle (a fancy term that describes the time it takes, from start to finish, of buying or producing inventory, selling it, and collecting cash for it).

In other words, there are 63 days between when cash was invested in the process and when cash was returned to the company. Conceptually, the operating cycle is the number of days that it takes between when a company initially puts up cash to get (or make) stuff and getting the cash back out after you sold the stuff.

Since companies often purchase inventory on credit, a related concept is net operating cycle (or cash conversion cycle), which factors in credit purchases. In our example, if the retailer purchased the inventory on credit with 30-day terms, it had to put up the cash 33 days before it was collected. Here, the cash conversion cycle is 35 days + 28 days – 30 days = 33 days. Pretty straightforward.

Working Capital Management

For many firms, the analysis and management of the operating cycle is the key to healthy operations. For example, imagine the appliance retailer ordered too much inventory – its cash will be tied up and unavailable for spending on other things (such as fixed assets and salaries). Moreover, it will need larger warehouses, will have to pay for unnecessary storage, and will have no space to house other inventory.

Imagine that in addition to buying too much inventory, the retailer is lenient with payment terms to its own customers (perhaps to stand out from the competition). This extends the amount of time cash is tied up and adds a layer of uncertainty and risk around collection.

Now imagine our appliance retailer mitigates these issues by paying for the inventory on credit (often necessary as the retailer only gets cash once it sells the inventory). Cash is no longer tied up, but effective working capital management is even more important since the retailer may be forced to discount more aggressively (lowering margins or even taking a loss) to move inventory in order to meet vendor payments and escape facing penalties.

Taken together, this process represents the operating cycle (also called the cash conversion cycle). Companies with significant working capital considerations must carefully and actively manage working capital to avoid inefficiencies and possible liquidity problems. In our example, a perfect storm could look like this:

In this perfect storm, the retailer doesn’t have the funds to replenish the inventory that’s flying off the shelves because it hasn’t collected enough cash from customers. The suppliers, who haven’t yet been paid, are unwilling to provide additional credit, or demand even less favorable terms. In this case, the retailer may draw on their revolver, tap other debt, or even be forced to liquidate assets. The risk is that when working capital is sufficiently mismanaged, seeking last-minute sources of liquidity may be costly, deleterious to the business, or in the worst-case scenario, undoable.

Components of Working Capital

Current Assets

Current assets are assets that a company can easily turn into cash within one year or one business cycle, whichever is less. They do not include long-term or illiquid investments such as certain hedge funds, real estate, or collectibles.

Examples of current assets include checking and savings accounts; highly liquid marketable securities such as stocks, bonds, mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs); money market accounts; cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventory, and other shorter-term prepaid expenses. Other examples include current assets of discontinued operations and interest payable.

Current Liabilities

Current liabilities are all the debts and expenses the company expects to pay within a year or one business cycle, whichever is less. This typically includes the normal costs of running the business such as rent, utilities, materials and supplies; interest or principal payments on debt; accounts payable; accrued liabilities; and accrued income taxes.

6 Ways to Increase Working Capital

A business may wish to increase its working capital if it, for example, needs to cover project-related expenses or experiences a temporary drop in sales. Tactics to bridge that gap involve either adding to current assets or reducing current liabilities.

Managing working capital with accounting software is important for your company’s health. Positive working capital means you have enough liquid assets to invest in growth while meeting short-term obligations, like paying suppliers and making interest payments on loans. In contrast, negative working capital is a warning sign that a company may have difficulty keeping its head above water — and an ERP with strong compliance management improves business performance and increases financial close efficiency while reducing back-office costs, resolving delays and generating statements and disclosures that comply with regulatory requirements.

Over time, if they hold their coins, the value is predicted to continuously go up. In this sense, the profitability of mining over a long period is dependent on the coin’s value. Many miners see this as a reason to mine coins, despite cost inefficiencies.

Cryptocurrency Mining

Cryptocurrency mining, or crypto mining, is the method of verifying transactions on a digital ledger for a blockchain using machines with extensive computing power. Cryptocurrency mining is something any individual or organization can do with adequate hardware and software resources, but the expansion of mining and increasing costs make it progressively difficult for newcomers.

Cryptocurrency mining is the process where specialized computers , also known as nodes or mining rigs, validate blockchain transactions for a specific cryptocoin and, in turn, receive a mining reward for their computational effort.

The Vehicle for Mining: Nodes, Rigs, and Pools

Blockchains require an expansive network of machines to verify and store transactions to support global cryptocurrencies’ overarching distributed digital ledgers. Rigs use the latest processors (e.g., GPU , FPGA , or ASIC ) and do little else but serve as a node for the blockchain’s network. Using standard personal computers as mining equipment is not advisable, as most lack the computational power to handle mining-level processing.

Achieving Consensus Through Proof-of-Work

Blockchains require a protocol for achieving a decentralized consensus to verify the integrity of new blocks, and in crypto mining, this consensus mechanism is proof-of-work (PoW). By contributing computational effort to validating transactions, miners receive a predefined amount of the coin for their proof of work.

The protocol ensures the integrity of blockchain transactions and rewards miners for their expenses and effort, but it also deters threat actors who hope to manipulate the cryptocurrency. Crypto mining requires extensive processor power, creating competition and a barrier to entry for prospective nodes and mining rigs.

Imagine that you have a machine that mines crypto coins. We’ll talk about the specific types of machines later on in the tutorial, but for example’s sake, let’s just say that it’s your own, personal computer and you’re trying to figure out how to mine cryptocurrency.

Your PC would perform specific tasks that are required to be able to obtain even the slightest amounts of cryptocurrency. These tasks are called “Proof of Work”, and they are designed to create a fair playing field for all the different miners out there.

The tasks themselves are math equations. The more miners want to mine one, a specific mining pool – the tougher the equations become. This brings balance to the pool, but it also motivates bigger and stronger machinery usage.

Risks of Mining

What does crypto mining mean to you? For some, it means risk. When mining, there is always a chance you could lose money on your investment. Price volatility can be a factor, as well as the risk of burning out your equipment or losing precious information.

An obvious risk to mining is security. It isn’t uncommon in the cyber world for hackers to target crypto traders and miners. This might come in the form of a security breach where hackers download malware onto a mining device, usually through an unsecured wifi network. Crypto mining software tagged as malware can also be a problem.

Another attack used is phishing, where victims get tricked into clicking links that load cryptocurrency mining code on their devices. They may also infect websites with malicious code. These attacks can happen without the knowledge of the miner, who may see little or no differences.

Final Thoughts on Cryptocurrency Mining

Mining is a legitimate means of being a part of a future where centralized banking becomes obsolete, replaced altogether by decentralized blockchain technology. It is also a movement that is changing the world.

🏅 How to mine bitcoin at home?

Yes, you can technically mine bitcoin at home. Considering the complexity of mining bitcoin, it is very crucial that you invest in the right type of hardware. If you are mining bitcoin at home, you need to consider hardware electricity consumption. The success rate will be very less. Because nowadays cryptocurrency is so popular that even a kindergarten kid is mining bitcoins. You need a dedicated mining hardware to see any reasonable success.

The underlying cost of mining is the energy consumed. Thus for a miner, whatever revenue he or she generates from the mining process has to cover these costs, as well as the original amount invested in the mining hardware.

The earnings also depend on the cryptocurrency being mined. For instance, last year, an ASIC mining machine like Whatsminer M20s generated around $8 in BTC every day. Now this will naturally be a lot more than the profits produced from mining Ethereum, which is mined using high-end GPUs.

Cryptocurrency mining

Many cryptocurrencies are mined using mining equipment: Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), designed to mine a particular crypto asset. Therefore, it might become challenging for you to compete with other proficient miners if you do not persistently upgrade the ASIC miner to the latest version, as you may not win rewards for the same coin.

What is Cryptocurrency?

For simplicity, I’ll sometimes use Bitcoin to refer to cryptocurrencies in general and bitcoin to mention it as the individual currency. Bitcoins are digital coins managed at decentralized digital ledgers called blockchains. They are circulated (mined) and used without the centralized control of any public or private institution.

Interestingly, unlike fiat currencies, there is a circulation limit to most cryptocurrencies. For instance, only 21 million Bitcoins can be mined. This fact turns cryptocurrencies into a powerful hedge against inflation.

How do Crypto miners find the target hash?

Based on the number of participants, you can divide mining into Solo and Pool. It’s termed CPU mining or GPU mining as per the primary equipment used in the process. But, if you’re using rented infrastructure, then it’s called Cloud Mining.

#1. Solo Mining

Solo mining, as the name might suggest, is mining independently. It’s the most costly affair, but at the same time, you earn the exclusive reward for your efforts. Notably, you miss sharing the profits of other miners as well.

So, you’re looking at considerable investments to set up a cool, ventilated, large, and remote space to install your mining farm. Add to this the sky-high cost of mining rigs, and your wallet may start to feel lighter already.

The good news is, this cut-throat mining atmosphere is only valid for bitcoin and some other established currencies. But you can mine some other (read new) crypto coins quite profitably at a fraction of investment.

Solo Mining Profitability

A crypto mining rig is excellent, and it’s like a pumped-up regular personal computer. It deploys lots of graphic cards to get the job done. You can do your daily digital chores, and the mining will take place in the background.

Technical Setup of Solo Mining

Just keep in mind that mining depends on luck as well. It’s not a definite milestone to achieve with powerful hardware. You may come home empty-handed despite sophisticated machines buzzing by your side. This holds especially true for solo miners.

List Of The Best Cryptocurrency To Mine In 2022

Bitcoin is the world’s strongest and oldest Cryptocurrency. However, it is not the best Cryptocurrency to mine. You might be thinking, which one is the best coin to mine? Or what are the top cryptocurrencies for mining that can yield extraordinary returns?

Our team has done comprehensive research to find out the most profitable coins to mine. So have a look at spectacular cryptocurrencies to mine through which you can multiply your investment within a few months. We have listed below the 11 best coins to mine in 2022:

1. RavenCoin (RVN)

RavenCoin is one of the most profitable coins to mine, which primarily focuses on transforming mining decentralized. It was named after the small blackbirds in George R.R Martin’s fictional world of Westeros.

This Cryptocurrency was launched on 3 rd January 2018 (at the ninth anniversary of Bitcoin). The coin was designed to enable instant payments seamlessly. In 2019, the developers featured this coin with magnificent features such as enabled messaging, mobile wallet with seed phrase, better compatibility, voting with RVN, etc.

The primary objective of RavenCoin is to create a blockchain optimized for the transfer of assets from one person to another. The main reason why it is recommended for miners is that it uses the X16R algorithm and KawPoW protocol.

2. Monero (XMR)

Monero is one of the top cryptocurrencies to mine in 2021, with more than $3 billion in market capitalization. It is ranked 14 th in the cryptocurrency market list, which is also ASIC-resistant, similar to Verticoin.

3. LiteCoin (LTC)

Mining Litecoin will never be a wrong decision as it is a robust cryptocurrency used by a comprehensive range of users. Furthermore, it uses SCRYPT protocol which means you need not buy ASIC chips; and can easily be mined with the GPU.

4. Ethereum Classic (ETC)

Ethereum Classic is a cryptocurrency aiming to maintain the original Ethereum blockchain. This spectacular crypto platform was launched in July 2016. Currently, it is having a market capitalization of more than $13 billion. This Cryptocurrency recently applied a cap on coins supply to 210 million.

It is pretty simple to start mining this Cryptocurrency just by acquiring the wallet and a graphic card supporting this Cryptocurrency. In addition, the block time for this crypto is less than another crypto which is around 13 seconds.

5. Zcash (ZEC)

The reviews of Zcash tell us about its long-term sustainability as the value of this crypto is less fragile than other cryptocurrencies. Another good feature of Zcash is that it is equipped with more privacy features than other coins.

6. Grin (GRIN)

7. Metaverse (ETP)

8. Bitcoin Gold (BTG)

GPU mining is incomplete without mentioning Bitcoin Gold. It is one of the best cryptocurrencies to mine using GPU launched to get rid of ASICs. Apart from kicking out ASIC miners, it also involves a minimal investment, unlike other altcoins.

The primary aim of this crypto was to lower the risk for the miner. The approach of Bitcoin Gold developers was to minimize the risk so as the investors need not throw away BTG Antminer even if the Cryptocurrency’s Price comes down drastically. The best part is you can direct your hash power to any coin you desire.

9. Dogecoin (DOGE)

Dogecoin is a cryptocurrency made for fun with the symbol of the dog by Billy Markus. This Cryptocurrency is well ahead in the altcoin rally, which has broken many records and does not show any signs of slowing down.

It uses Scrypt protocol similar to Litecoin as it does not let you buy expensive machines to add doge to your portfolio. However, this does not mean you should use your pc or laptop to mine this coin. To make its mining seamless, you can use a GPU/CPU to ensure its efficient performance.

10. Dash (DASH)

Dash is an open-source cryptocurrency providing users with the freedom to spend anywhere and move their money anytime they want. The main objective of this coin is to ensure seamless and secure money transfer transactions around the globe via PrivateSend and InstaSend.

It can be immensely profitable to mine this coin in 2021 as it is one of the most profitable coins to mine. However, it is imperative to ensure the hash rate of your mining device, electricity cost, and network range at your location as the mining profitability extremely depends upon these factors.

11. Vertcoin (VTC)

If you are looking for the best coin to mine, you can opt for Vertcoin. This Cryptocurrency uses a Lyra2RE proof-of-work algorithm to verify transactions. The coin is ASIC resistant and is categorized under the coins that can be mined using GPU.

Being ASIC resistant indicates that the founders of Vertcoin decided not to put restrictions on mine this coin. This increased the possibility of fair distribution of this Cryptocurrency worldwide without being controlled by ASIC mining firms and pools.

Vertcoin has 2 pools based on your computing power named Network 1 and Network 2. If you have more than two graphic cards, opt for Network 1. Whereas, if you have two or less two graphic cards, select Network 2. Always remember, if you choose Network 1, this coin supports NVIDIA and AMD graphic cards.

12. DigiByte (DGB)

Still, confused about which one is the best coin to mine? Mining Digibyte coin can be immensely profitable because it offers high mining rewards. Moreover, the cryptocurrency supports multiple options, be it ASIC, GPU or CPU, through which you can mine.

DigiBytie is using five different algorithms and is hard-capped at 21 billion coins. Plus, the network of this robust crypto is built on three layers named a public ledger, a smart contract ‘App Store,’ and the core protocol featuring nodes communicating to relay transactions.

13. Monacoin (MONA)

The miners do not require ASIC machines in order to mine this crypto. The best part is the mining of this coin involves minimal investment, unlike other heavy coins. Plus, the time taken to mine 1 block and qualify for reward is just less than 2 minutes (1.5 minutes).

14. Aeternity (AE)

How Long Does It Take to Mine 1 Bitcoin?

At the current Bitcoin (BTC) price point of $55K, a single, medium-ranged Bitcoin mining machine with 50 TH/s would be able to mine 1 BTC within one year. As you can see, we have long passed the threshold where Bitcoin mining can be effectively done at such a small scale.

Nonetheless,” there is an alternative form of crypto mining in the form of cloud mining. For example, StormGain offers a cloud mining service with which you can mine up to 0.0318 BTC per day. This is a legit way of mining without suspicious malware being installed on your computer, or even having to have a mining rig. Otherwise, StormGain wouldn’t be a member of the Blockchain Association of the Financial Commission.

Which Bitcoin Miner Is Most Profitable?

Although not on the list because it has only been announced last month, it seems that Bitcoin mining machines from BitWats are poised to be the most profitable mining rigs. Out of three, the one with the lowest price, at $5,000, reportedly has 360 TH/s at 550W power consumption.

A single ASIC miner, such as AvalonMiner A1166 Pro, capable of about 81 TH/s, could make about $23 per day. Of course, this is excluding the cost of the unit and ongoing electricity costs. If you are not prepared to invest in an ASIC miner, outside of cloud mining with StormGain, you could also join a mining pool.

Mining pools represent coordination with fellow miners, combining computing power to add a new block. Once the block is mined, the block reward is then shared among all the pool participants. As you would expect, most mining pools can be found in China, seconded by Malta, and then in the US. There are several mining pools to choose from:

Note that the pool’s region is not relevant to the process, so that you could join a Chinese pool from the US. Also, keep in mind that mining pools are different from cloud mining; as for the former, you have to have a mining rig.

Lastly, if some unknown Bitcoin cloud mining or pool mining website seems too good to be true, it’s likely a scam. The biggest such scheme was BitClub Network, when three fraudsters were arrested for pilfering $722 million worth in crypto assets. The common tactic is to promise a share in the hashing power for an initial investment. As befits a true Ponzi scheme, scammers would then also ask the investors to bring in new recruits for rewards.

How to Write a Convincing Resume Objective [w/ 5 Pro Tips]

Resume objectives get a bad rep because they’re hard to write and even harder to write well. At their worst, they’re overly generic and say nothing new about the applicant. When done right, though, they can really help your resume stand out.

The resume objective is structured in three main parts: (1) Who you are (2) What you offer to the company (3) How you’ll help the company accomplish its goals.

(1) [SKILL/EDUCATION/CERTIFICATION RELEVANT TO THE JOB WITH JOB TITLE]. Looking to apply my (2) [years/months of EXPERIENCE RELEVANT TO THE JOB DESCRIPTION] at [COMPANY YOU ARE APPLYING TO], to help (3) [TYPE OF RESPONSIBILITIES YOU WILL HELP OUT WITH SUCCESSFULLY].

“CPA-certified forensic accountant with demonstrated experience in financial record examination. Looking to apply my 3 years of experience at Deloitte, to help the team of XYZ improve their activity-based accounting techniques in the role of a managerial accountant.”

If you follow the formatting, you’re already 90% ready with your resume objective. Now, all you have to do is ensure that your resume objective is in sync with the following 5 pro tips, and we’re done!

TIP 1: Make sure to tailor your resume objective to the specific position or organization you are applying to. After all, a vague “Engineer looking for an Engineering job” doesn’t impress anyone.

TIP 2: You should include skills, knowledge, and abilities that you know will help the company achieve its goals. The resume objective isn’t about yourself or your own career – it’s about how you’re going to help the company.

TIP 3: Do not brag or use subjective language in your resume objective. Use as many facts and numbers as possible to back up your experience. It’s one thing to say “Expert at Advertising” and another to say “Facebook Marketer, experienced in managing 5-figure advertising spend.”

XYZ Inc. is looking for a sales representative manager for its German branch. Minimum of 3 years of working experience in management. Daily duties: planning, directing, and overseeing the sales representative team.

Why it’s bad :

“Sales manager trained in Berlin. Looking to apply my 5+ years of management experience in XYZ Inc. by making sure the sales representative team is staffed and follows quality standards, helping XYZ increase revenue and market share in the process.”

One woman who knows a thing or two about writing a diary is podcaster Liz Beardsell. She has kept a diary since she was 12 years old and, at the age of 39, has written over 10,000 diary entries over her lifetime.

Diary Writing Samples

A diary writing is a personal record of events and feelings affecting the writer. It is written for personal record and reflection; therefore, it may not always be objective in its view. It almost always details the events occurring in the present. It includes facts, observations, perceptions, and descriptions all according to the writer’s worldview.

I am very sorry for not writing to you last night. I was extremely tired after enjoying the entire day at Shangrila Resort. I could not even keep my eyes open. The place was so huge that by the end of the day we still felt like we did not see the entire place. It had one large pool for adults, two pools for children over 10 years, and a really shallow yet very cute pool for small children. There was a large waterfall as well. The entire place was surrounded by grass and trees. It felt as if we were in a real jungle. They also had speakers hidden in the trees giving sound effects of wild animals. The food too was fresh and filling. It gave us the energy to go on playing. We had a great time and wished we could stay there forever.

Diary Writing Sample

Our board exam results have not yet been declared and already the news of malpractice is making the rounds. There are cases of attempted bribery reported for admissions into esteemed colleges. Such news is really very disheartening. Especially when coupled with the various reservation schemes already existing. This leaves no scope for children like me who do not fit in any minority groups nor can sum up large amounts for donation. This is a very serious problem, and I am really threatened by it. Even if the malpractices are ignored or hushed up, as very often they will be, the fact that these students will not excel in their courses is inevitable, thus causing a loss of the country’s resources employed in their training. I do not know what to look forward to anymore. I just hope and pray that such practices are tracked and nipped in the bud.

Last night, I had a very strange dream. I saw that two of my friends and I were going to attend my cousin’s wedding reception. On our way a rather strange-looking man intercepted us. Despite our protests, he insisted on narrating to us his tale of resentment. He looked unnaturally old with skinny limbs and glittering eyes, and the tale he narrated seemed too surreal to be true. He said he used to be a mariner who shot an innocent albatross who was guiding their ship out of the perilous ice at sea. This act enraged a powerful spirit who used to love the bird. His actions resulted in the death of his crewmates. Also, he was doomed to feel a great deal of agony which was relieved only when he narrated the tale to somebody. The dream taught me a valuable lesson: Never hurt the hand which helps you.

8 Tips When Starting a Diary

Writing can be hard and getting started is usually the hardest part. If you feel like you don’t know how to write a diary entry, don’t stress over it. You can start writing about anything. You can even write about how you can’t think of anything to write. Once you start getting words out, they will start to flow naturally.

1. Decide to write

2. Decide what to write

This is definitely the hardest part when writing a diary, but it is probably the most important. If you want your diary to be specific, decide what topic you would like to discuss during your entries. You can create multiple diaries for different topics, or just have one diary that has everything. Generally, diaries are personal and private thoughts, but they can also be a great way to keep track of personal musings on anything you would like:

3. Create a schedule

Starting a diary requires that you write in it frequently, but it is up to you to decide how frequently you want to write in it. Whether it be once a day or once a week, create a schedule that you can adhere to. The more you can make writing in your diary a part of your routine, the more comprehensive and helpful a practice it will become.

When you have decided what you want write in your diary, decide on a writing schedule that is appropriate for the topic. For example, if you want your diary to be general, maybe you want to decide to write in it at a certain time everyday, like right before you go to bed. If you want your writings to be more specific, like about food, maybe you will write in it every time you cook or find a new recipe. Make your schedule work for you and your topic.

4. Set a time limit

It is easy to get carried away and write too much when diary writing. A way to stay concise and on track is to set a time limit for your writing. Depending on how much you want to write, set a time limit that reflects that. Somewhere between 30 minutes and an hour is ideal. If you feel like you want to spend more time than that, feel free.

5. Date your entries

The great thing about a diary is that you are able to look back through it and see how you have progressed over time. It is important to date every entry you write. Luckily, Penzu dates your entries automatically.

6. Create an introductory entry

For your first diary entry, try to write an introduction to what your diary will be about. Introduce yourself, what things interest you, what you think it important and what you want this dairy to be about. Open up and be yourself.

7. Act like you’re writing to a trusted friend

Wondering how to write a diary entry? The best way to write is as if you’re talking to your best friend. This is your personal diary, for your eyes only, so you should feel comfortable writing as if you’re talking to a trusted companion. As cliché as “Dear Diary” may sound, it can really lead you in the write direction in terms of the tone you should be writing in. The goal of a diary is to discuss things honestly and candidly, as if you were talking through them with a best friend or family member.

8. Have fun!

Writing in your diary should never be a chore or a burden, so remember to have fun with it. It can be a place of solace, a place of creativity, a place of reflection, a place where your thoughts can roam free. When starting a diary, make sure you are writing about things you care about and are passionate about because. As long as you enjoy what you’re writing and the process of it, you will never miss an entry!
