#8216;Non-Code Codes#8217;a Way to Maintain Office E-Mail Privacy
8216Non-Code Codes8217a Way to Maintain Office E-Mail Privacy 8216Non-Code Codes8217- a Way to Maintain Office E-Mail Privacy Thats because my friends computer is the only one in the office network that is not under real-time, on-screen surveillance with live access to employee emails.My friend has refused to comply and is currently looking into new job options for his formidable, high pay-grade talents.Now, thats really intrusive. So, what can you do to maintain some semblance of privacy and confidentiality- not to mention dignity- under such circumstances?Well, you cant encrypt your on-the-job emails into indecipherable strings with encryption software. That would merely provoke a confrontation, or at least raise grave suspicions.Encoding Hamlet as Duck DynastyInstead, consider writing everything in readable, ordinary-language code- seemingly non-code code, if you will. If you think thats not easy, youre absolutely right, especially if you take things a step further and encode ev erything you write as perfectly normal, coherent text that doesnt at all resemble anything coded.That would be like undetectably encoding and transcribing the entire text of Shakespeares Hamlet as an episode of Duck Dynasty.I dont know enough cryptography to even begin to answer the question whether that is humanly or mathematically possible. Sure, individual words, no problem.For example, take care that, when writing about how many miles you traveled on your recent holiday, you dont let your entire right-hand slip one character to the left on your keyboard, because then miles will appear as nukes in your email- with results you can imagine.So, as this method shows, one word or maybe even a sentence or two may easily be possible. But paragraph after paragraph? Heres an imaginable short reply, at work, to a fictitious emailed question about how many air miles I have on my Royal Bank of Canada Gold Card, using the simple shift-code described above Gave 55,356 nukes Have 55,356 miles. The point is that even this much is a challenge.Now, you may think suggesting youre handing over nukes is worse than revealing how many air miles you have but, if you think about it, the last thing a boss wants you to be thinking or writing about at work is your travel plans.Be that as it may, the point is that it wasnt easy to create even that much code, even when half the keyboard- on the left- required no special coding.Hence, it seems to me that writing paragraph after paragraph to a Hamlet-Duck Dynasty encoding standard will be impossible for just about everyone, with the possible exception of those whose job is to do precisely that- which, of course, suggests they are probably already doing that with their own office emails as well as with their paid projects.However, dont despair. Theres a simple workaround Just preface every email you send, encoded or not, with THE FOLLOWING MAY BE AN ENCODED homilie. If it is intercepted by your boss or his software, youve got plausible de niability, e.g., Its really my project report, which I wanted to protect from unauthorized interception or surveillance. The problem is that my dog ate the code before I could code the code and send it.Kolmogorov, One Million Monkeys and Your BossThis office-email coding issue resonates with the well-known Kolmogorov test for complexity and randomness, e.g., of codes and that which they code, which, among other things, specifies that the longer the sequence of characters required to describe a second string of characters, the more closely the latter approximates a purely random, complex sequence.For example, both the code for and the sequence consisting of 1234123412341234, endlessly repeated, are simple and non-random, the code being write 1234 repeat indefinitely. On the other hand, 15436133221914378574. continued with no evident pattern whatsoever represents a code and a message far more complex and random.As an upper limit, a purely random, infinitely or indefinitely-long comple x coded messages description and code is equivalent to the message itself. So, on analogy, can it not be argued that as non-random text indefinitely increases in length, the only coded descriptive recipe for it becomes the text itself?Note This tandem relationship between increasing complexity and increasing randomness of information needs to be compared with and distinguished from the relationship between biological complexity and randomness, which, on the face of it or at least on some interpretation, seem to vary inversely.The challenge of coded transcription of Hamlet into Duck Dynasty or of your emails into coherent concealment is also a variation on the 1000000 monkeys with a million typewriters thought experiment, which imagines that given enough time, one million monkeys will indeed flawlessly type out a compilable copy of Hamlet.However, in the email case, the prediction is not that eventually they would write Hamlet, but that they would/would not be caught and exposed afte r writing a Duck Dynasty episode as code for Hamlet.To Be or Not to Be CageyTherefore, if you preface every in-office or other email with THE FOLLOWING MAY BE AN ENCODED glaubenszeugnis or THE FOLLOWING IS AN ENCODED MESSAGE, you may be able to retain some measure of privacy, if only because of the confusion you and the attendant employer exasperation will sow.As for which of the two versions, i.e., the IS AN ENCODED MESSAGE or MAY BE AN ENCODED MESSAGE, the choice will depend on whether you ever expect to have your coding abilities challenged or tested by your boss.One advantage of the MAY BE version is that it amounts to a randomized strategy that makes predicting whether or not youve encoded your emails very difficult.Besides protecting you from spot tests and challenges, it will, as a minimum will keep your boss off-balance and uncertain as to when to confront you.Hence, for now, for me and probably for you, MAY BE is likely to be the wiser choice.unless you think that at least one of us is looking at a perfectly coded article arguing the contrary and that you can prove or match it.___________Note In case it went unnoticed, there was some intended humor in this.

55+ And Need To Get Hired Heres How To Do It.
55+ And Need To Get Hired Heres How To Do It.55+ And Need To Get Hired Heres How To Do It.In just the past 7 days, zu siches whats happened with 3 job search candidates over age 55 one received and accepted an offer one received 2 offers and is presently weighing his options and one got an offer in a writing for a job she applied for about 2 weeks ago. Lets take a deeper look at our third candidate, to walk through the precise steps that took herbei from online application, to phone interview, to in-person interview, to written offer.Her name is Sheila. She works at the senior level in operations in the health care sector.Sheila came across a VP, Operations role online, which caught her interest not because she particularly loved the description of the role, but because she tapped into her existing knowledge of the industry and realized this welches a growing organization with major plans for continued expansion in the near future.Takeaway 1 See the larger picture not just the job, but the companySheila followed the directions indicated and applied for the role. Immediately prior to that, she researched the decision makers at the company. For a VP-level role, minimally, you need to aim to reach the SVP. Ideally, aim for the President or CxO. In Sheilas case, she identified the CFO. She messaged the CFO a short email of introduction, mentioning the top 3 skills she offered that directly related to the role, and asking if the CFO was open to holding a quick conversation.Takeaway 2 Make direct contact with a real and relevant actual human beingThe CFO replied within 24 hours and they held the call. Elevator pitch at the ready, Sheila discussed those top 3 skills, and exactly why they would prove beneficial in the new role. She also gained some insight through this conversation about what was important to the executive leadership team as they continued to solidify their imminent growth strategy. After another 24 hours, the CFO invited Sheila in for an in-person in terview with the CEO.Takeaway 3 Know and state your concrete value in a way that directly relates to THAT companyThe interview planned with the CFO and CEO actually expanded into a panel interview with 2 additional decision makers, including the current VP Operations, who would be transitioning out of that role to a different position during the corporate expansion. In addition to them all hearing Sheilas qualifications, they also heard the pointed questions Sheila brought to the table, the answers to which revealed some growing pains, and she offered preliminary solutions.Takeaway 4 Interview them as much as theyre interviewing youSheila walked away from the interview confident, but not hitching all her hopes and dreams to that particular opportunity. In fact, she came back to her home office and resumed where she left off in her search.Takeaway 5 Search, search, and search until you land and START that jobHeres the offer Sheila receivedThere are a few morals to this storyExpand yo ur thought process when youre searching online. The jobs you see advertised are just a window to the organization. When you look through a window, youre looking for something specific in a job search scenario, that means someone specific. When you find that someone, say something to the person that will matter to that person, so they take notice.These 3 candidates all over age 55 followed similar paths to success just this week. Thats because they applied the simple strategies you need for job search today, which are dramatically different than the brde time you probably looked for a job. If you want to know exactly how you can find the real decision maker you need every single time, with precision (not the shot in the dark method), then find out what successful jobseekers are actually doing to get employed. You can see real people who told their own success stories in full on LinkedIn.
