☆ Wharton psychologist Adam Grant's tip for an 'amazing' cover letter: Admit if you are 'not quite the fit'

Wharton organizational psychologist Adam Grant recently told CNBC's "Squawk Box" about an 'amazing' cover letter he read a few years ago, where the applicant did not have all the qualifications listed. Instead of ignoring her weaknesses, she addressed the elephant in the room by admitting that she was "not quite the fit." I don't have the years of experience and I don't have these skills," Grant said the cover letter read. "She got the job [after that cover letter] and she crushed it." Some of the most in-demand soft skills like time management and critical thinking can be developed in non-position-specific experiences that you can instead demonstrate in your cover letter.

☆ How to land a job without previous ‘real-world’ industry experience, according to an Olympic swimmer turned engineer

There's a paradox about applying for jobs: You need experience to get the job, but in many cases, you need the job to get experience. But it hasn't been easy, since most of his work experience has taken place in a pool, not an office. As a result, when he set out on a job hunt, he was bound to encounter the employment experience paradox. He says he entered the candidate pool "with a resume that's not very robust when it comes to real-world engineering experience." But Fink managed to land a job at Quanta Utility Engineering Services, where he has worked as an assistant project manager since March.

☆ Australia's O'Callaghan smashes 14-year-old record to win world title

FUKUOKA, Japan, July 26 (Reuters) - Australia's Mollie O'Callaghan finished with a flourish to break the longest-standing world record in women's swimming, claiming the 200 metres freestyle title in a time of one minute, 52.85 seconds at the World Aquatics Championships on Wednesday. Summer McIntosh of Canada was 0.80 seconds behind to take bronze in a world junior record time. Olympic champion Titmus had blazed to the 400m freestyle title on Sunday to erase 16-year-old McIntosh's mark and was well placed to go for another record after topping the semi-final time sheet. Hungary's world record holder Kristof Milak was absent from the men's 200m butterfly that followed, as the Olympic and world champion skipped the meet saying that he was not physically or mentally in a position to compete. The mixed 4x100m medley relay concludes the fourth day of swimming with the Americans tipped to win their third title.

☆ How an Olympic swimmer with a 9-to-5 engineering job schedules his day: ‘It may not be easy, but there is time for everything’

Around the office, at his Atlanta-based engineering job, Nic Fink's coworkers call him "The Fish." It's an apt nickname for the 30-year-old who moonlights as a swimmer on the U.S. national team and has competed at Olympic tournaments. But for the average 9-to-5 worker, adding in a professional swim training schedule might seem nearly impossible — at least, without barreling toward burnout. Here are two tips he keeps in mind to make it happen:'There is time for everything'Fink typically starts his day at 5:30 a.m. to make it to his two-hour morning swim training. As he ping-pongs from the pool to the office back to the pool, Fink relies on to-do lists and strict scheduling to keep himself organized.

☆ 30-year-old balances 9-to-5 job with Olympic swimming side hustle: 'I'm really thankful that they're letting me do it'

"My co-workers, in and out of the pool, are really great with my schedule. Fink isn't the first professional athlete with a standard day job. But balancing a side gig and a full-time job isn't easy, especially when the side gig is high-level athletic competition. Of course, Fink's swimming career isn't over yet. I'm really thankful that they're letting me do it," he said in a statement following his victory last week.
