Have You Checked Your Permanent Record Lately?
by: James H. Dimmitt
As a young student I feared getting bad grades because I didn’t want any bad marks on my “permanent record.” Get an “F” in fifth-grade science and it goes in your record. Act up in Mrs. Brown’s class? Yep, it’s in your record too. Get caught using a swear word and it’s not only in your permanent record but it goes right at the top! When you go to a parochial school like I did, you come to believe that there really is some mysterious file that follows you for the rest of your life.
Want to know a secret? There really IS a permanent file that follows you through life, but it has nothing to do with gramma (read full article) |

Dividing The Loot
by: Sam Vaknin, Ph.D.
It is when the going gets better, that the going gets tough. This enigmatic sentence bears explanation: when a firm is in dire straits, in the throes of a crisis, or is a loss maker – conflicts between the shareholders (partners) are rare. When a company is in the start-up phase, conducting research and development and fighting for its continued, profitable survival in the midst of a massive investment cycle – rarely will internal strife arise and threaten its existence. It is when the company turns a profit, when there is cash in the till – that, typically, all manner of grievances, complaints and demands arise. The internecine co (read full article) |

The Interviewable Resume
by: Linda Matias
It is rumored that the only word William Shakespeare wrote on his resume was “Available.” We’ll probably never know if that is true. But it raises an interesting question. How much information is too much and how much is too little when dealing with resume copy?
The resume is a vital piece to any job search. As companies scramble to find the ideal candidate, they use the resume to screen candidates. Done right, a resume builds an instant connection with the reader and helps steer the course of the interview in your favor. If you submit a resume that piques the curiosity of the reader, he or she most likely will ask questions based on th (read full article) |

How To Choose The Right Resume Format
by: Fayola Peters
After a thirty (30) second glance lots of resumes get thrown into the wastebasket. One of the reasons this happens is because the resume writer has failed to use the appropriate resume format.
Each individual has different work experiences and objectives. You may have gaps in your work history. You may be changing careers or have had jobs progressively in the same field.
You need to choose a format that is to your advantage and shows you as the best candidate for the job.
Here are the two (2) main resume formats used. Decide which is best for you.
1. The Chronological Resume Format:
Objective
Summary
Experience

How Real PR Works
by: Robert A. Kelly
For some, public relations works well when their news release or special event winds up in the newspaper or on the radio.
For others, public relations works best when it does something positive about the behaviors of outside audiences that affect their operations the most. I like this approach because a business, non-profit or association manager can use the fundamental premise of public relations to deliver key stakeholder behavior change – the kind that leads directly to achieving a manager’s objectives.
What fundamental premise of public relations am I talking about here, and how can you put it to good use persuading those important outs (read full article) |

From Bank Clerk to Entreprenuer
by: Carolyn James
What seems like a century ago, I left school and joined a well-known High Street Bank. In those days working as a bank clerk was a well-established route for many school leavers and perceived to be a proper job with prospects. It wasn’t long before I became disillusioned with the world of banking and sought a change of job. In complete contrast to my previous job, I became a clerk in the local hospital dealing with the injured and infirm, but it was a role that I found strangely interesting and rewarding. In today’s parlance, it is known as job satisfaction.
My career progressed rapidly and after working in a number of different (read full article) |

Free Competition Analysis for E-Commerce Startup
by: Lawrence Roth
For anyone who has completed research regarding e-commerce, there are some common catch phrases that we all come across. ‘Competition Analysis’ is one of those catch phrases. Competition Analysis is part of the business plan. And it is an important part.
However, completing some of the tasks that are required for Competition Analysis can be overwhelming and expensive. This is a disadvantage for e-commerce startups with limited budgets.
The following is a suggestion that has worked for us at Rothline Entertainment, an e-commerce site located at http://www.rothline.com. After reviewing information on completing Com (read full article) |

The 'Eighth Wonder of the World?'
by: colin mc caig
I'm sure you've heard this term used at least once or twice…
And if you're like many people, you've maybe never thought about its true significance.
One person even went as far as to say that 'those who understood it, were certain to collect it, while those that didn't would be doomed to pay it'.
Many have even called it the 'eighth wonder of the world'...
Some time ago now, someone asked me a strange question. At first I thought it was another of those stupid trick questions but he begged me to hear him out.
It went something like this…
If I were to give you the choice of working for 2000 dollars a day for the (read full article) |

Defining Success Your Way!
by: Ann Ronan, Ph.D.
Our society defines success primarily around three elements: power, money and fame. Many of you reading this may be saying, “wait a minute –those elements are not the most important things to me.” Success is often intangible. It’s certainly unique to each person. Have you considered how you will know when you are successful?
For one of my career coaching clients, a definition of success is having autonomy in her work. She wants to set her own goals and direct her own activities. She’s considering part-time consulting work as a transition to her success. Another client defines success as a satisfying family and personal (read full article) |

Can You Really Improve Your Organisation Skills
by: Lorraine Pirihi
I'm sure most of you have heard of Zig Ziglar International Sales Guru. Well in one of Zig's weekly newsletters, there were a number of comments about the habits of well-organised people which I couldn't resist sharing with you.
What are the habits of well-organised people?
Can a person be 'taught' skills that will make them organised, or is that a quality you either possess or lack?
We asked those questions of our readers and here are some of their responses:
"I think that natural abililty has to be coupled with good training to fully develop skills such as being organised."
"Thankfully, organisation skills are l (read full article) |
