Survey: Bosses take more vacation time than their teams Posted: 21 Jun 2012 08:08 AM PDT It's hard to find anyone who doesn't think a vacation is a good thing. Beyond getting to explore different parts of the country or the world, vacations have been shown to improve mental health, prevent job burnout and even enhance creativity. Yet if you're guilty of ending the year without using most of your vacation days, you're not alone — at least among your peers. Your boss, however, might be a different story. According to a new CareerBuilder survey, 81 percent of managers have taken or plan to take vacation this year, compared with 65 percent of full-time employees. While that number is up from 61 percent in 2011, the number of vacationers did fall well below pre-financial crisis levels. In 2007, 80 percent of full-time workers went on vacation or expected to take a vacation that year.   Take a look at the infographic below for more vacation statistics. Don't worry about getting caught reading this instead of working — chances are your boss is on vacation anyway.  Click to see the full-size image

The Top 3 Interns Every Organization Must Have Posted: 21 Jun 2012 09:48 AM PDT This guest post is by Justin & Dreama Lee, co-founders of InternProfits.com. In 2012 we're poised to see more students than ever before looking for an internship, and a record number of companies looking to either improve, or start, an internship program. A lot of organizations are perfectly capable of hiring an intern within their area of expertise: accounting firms hire accounting interns, legal firms offer internships to the next round of "would be" attorneys, and TV and film companies are always ready to hire their next round of interns. But what about other organizations and businesses? How do they know what interns they should be hiring? What are the top internships for 2012? What are the internships that are going to drive more leads, more sales, more revenue, and more profit for you organization? In reality, aren't those the best types of internships? The kind that when the intern is finished, they've contributed to the growth of the organization, and had a rewarding and fulfilling experience? The type of internship that lets the intern walk away with a portfolio of work that they can be proud of? The type of internship that would inspire the company to hire them because of all of the fantastic results that they've achieved? Next week, on Thursday February 9th at 10am PST/1pm EST/6pm GMT we're hosting a special webinar for the entire Urban Interns community. The topic of the webinar is "The Top 3 Interns Every Organization Must Have", and it's perfectly timed to set up 2012 as your best year ever. We've selected this topic because not only do these "Top 3" internships help you grow your organization, but also because the 3 internships are hot! In other words, when you post these positions, motivated, skilled applicants are excited about taking on these projects at your organization. We love these three internships for a number of reasons: They instantly help you grow your company and your brand They can be offered no matter what type of organization your run (for profit, non-profit, or government agency) They can be offered no matter where your organization is located (these are perfect for virtual interns, so even if you work from home as a "solopreneur" this strategy will still work for you) It doesn't matter how long you've been in business (so whether you're an established company or a brand new start up, you can implement this) Interns across the planet are absolutely dying to take any one of the 3 internships (so it makes your job of attracting a high quality candidate that much easier)
