To meet a

July 31st, 2010 admin No comments

To meet a growing need for career guidance and job hunting
support, Colleges are supplying more career services to their
alumni. Many offices work with alumni, and occasionally members of the local
community, at no cost or for low fees.

Networking Resources

Remember that conducting a job search requires much more than just
putting your resume on a job board. Networking is one of the best ways to find
resources on job opportunities, the career field, or company and industry
information.

Many alumni associations now publish online databases that
list former graduates who have volunteered to help new grads and other
alums with their job hunts. If your school has these services, you can search
for alumni by industry, job title, geographic location or employer.
These alums might have contacts with hiring managers, be willing to refer your
resume to the right person, serve as a mentor, and share information about
employment opportunities.

Career & Employment Resources

Career centers assist alumni by providing job search instruction.

Do you have

July 31st, 2010 admin No comments

Do you have a job at a Fortune 500 Company? Do you feel safe that you will not lose your job? Are you certain that your pension cannot be raided and you will be able to retire on-time with the full-benefits package that you were promised? What if I told you that many of the greatest American Corporations of the present period were laying off tens of thousands of people as we speak? Would you still feel safe?

Perhaps you work for a regional large corporation and feel safer; should you? Well, I would not if I were you as things can indeed change so very fast and then what? Are you still sure you are safe? Well then how sure are you?

Did you know that General Motors, Ford Motor Company, Intel and Dell are all laying off Thousands of Employees right now? Indeed we are told that unemployment is at an all-time low of 4.7% and that is great news. Well that is until it is your name that hits the lay off listings? Do you have a plan incase you are going to be laid off?

How will you pay the bills? How long can you go without an income? Are you in debt, high payments and what about credit cards? Sure you can live off those, but for how long and then what? What will you do have you thought about that? Consider all this in 2006.

Market Wire, July, 2010

Hop-on (PINKSHEETS: HPNN) and USAcig, Inc., makers of the groundbreaking electronic/electric cigarettes, are asking U.S. smokers to join them for interviews and auditions for a new TV Reality show called “No More Buts” that will air on National Television.

Casting producers are looking for addicted smokers, desirous of quitting, who are outgoing and charismatic with a competitive edge to their personality. Candidates must be at least 18 years of age and legal residents of the United States to participate.

Peter Michaels, President of USAcig, stated, “We are looking for the biggest characters for our Stop Smoking TV show ‘No More Buts.’ People who are brutally honest about their habit of smoking, people who have tried everything to quit, people who can showcase funny talents with their cigarettes and even people who are struggling with other addictions such as drinking and need that cigarette after cigarette. We want to help reduce the number of smoking Americans. Quitting smoking is not easy; but it can be done and should have fun doing it.”

The exact dates and locations for the casting calls will be posted on the “Join the 200K” website at: www.jointhe200.com and video submissions will also be considered if entered through the site. Please note that the casting teams will do their best to see the first 500 people in line, and will try to see everyone. Candidates must bring a non-returnable photo of them and may submit a video online to secure an audition.

Further, both Hop-on and USAcig continue to encourage all smoking Americans to Join the 200K. The mission is to help 200,000 Americans quit smoking this summer, through the “Join The 200K” campaign. The campaign, which is running for four months (June 22 to October 22, 2010), will entice and educate men, women, young adults, and parents on the health and environmental advantages of quitting smoking. Join the 200K endorses both traditional smoking cessation products and using smoking alternative products, such as the electronic/electric cigarette

Job losses as holiday firm closes two regional offices

0 Comments | Northern Echo, Jul 30, 2010 | by Owen McAteer

SCORES of North-East call centre workers are facing an uncertain future after holiday firm TUI Travel announced plans to axe two offices in the region.

The company, which owns Thomson Holidays, First Choice Holidays and LateRooms.com, plans to close its centres in Peterlee, County Durham, and Newcastle, which employ 90 workers.

The number of call centre jobs lost in the region this year already tops 2,000.

TUI said it wanted to consolidate its operations in the North- East at its Stockton centre, which at present employs 100 people. It has started a 90-day consultation with staff at the two threatened centres, some of whom may be offered the opportunity to relocate.

A spokeswoman said: “The company has given staff details of the proposed plans as well as details of the relocation opportunities available.

“There will be opportunities for staff to move to Stockton. However, at this time we cannot predict what proportion that might be. We expect a number of them to take up new roles in Stockton and will be offering the necessary support for those affected by the consultation and relocation process.”

The two centres are responsible for taking holiday bookings for UK customers.

“We do realise that announcements of this nature can be worrying, and to this end we will be working very closely with the staff affected over the coming weeks to understand what this means for them, and to ensure any changes are handled sensitively and fairly, ” the spokeswoman added.

The group, which has its UK base in Crawley, near Gatwick Airport, employs about 50,000 people and operates 146 aircraft.

In the financial year ended September 30, 2009, TUI Travel had revenues of [pounds]13.9bn and an underlying profit before tax of [pounds]366m

Strategy Analytics: Global Broadband Subs to Reach One Billion by

0 Comments | Wireless News, Jul 30, 2010

The total number of broadband subscriptions worldwide will reach one billion by 2015, according to Strategy Analytics in its recently released report entitled, “Global Broadband Forecast: 1H’10″.

The research group further noted in its report that the Asia Pacific region, which claims almost 45 percent of all broadband subscriptions, will lead in subscriber growth, seeing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of nearly 18 percent in the next five years. DSL will remain the dominant access platform, though it will give way to fiber over the next five years. By 2015, one quarter of broadband homes will connect via fiber, says the report. Service revenues will grow nearly nine percent over the forecast period, however average revenue per user (ARPU) will decline slightly.

“While broadband growth has been impressive, it is important to note that in 2010 more than 60 percent of households have no access to the Internet, much less broadband,” said Ben Piper, author of the report and Director of the Strategy Analytics Multiplay Market Dynamics service.

Strategy Analytics is a provider of market intelligence focused on opportunities and disruptive forces in the areas of automotive electronics and entertainment, broadband connected home, mobile and wireless intelligent systems and virtual worlds.

New PriceGrabber Survey: Clothing Retailers and Elementary School

0 Comments | Wireless News, Jul 22, 2010

PriceGrabber, a part of Experian, released the Back-to-School Shopping Consumer Behavior Report, which was conducted between May 12 and June 1, and includes responses from 1,718 online consumers.

Survey data reveals that shoppers are allocating their budgets differently this year, with a shift to gadget purchases for elementary students, increases in clothing purchases for all age groups and lowered back-to-school budgets for high school students.

As discussed in PriceGrabber’s first back-to-school shopping press release, back-to-school shoppers are making significant efforts to stay within their budget this year. Survey data also reveals that shoppers are allocating their budgets differently, which has created some interesting shifts in year-over-year consumer behavior.

One shift in back-to-school purchasing behavior involves the number of gadgets that will be purchased for elementary school students; that figure has almost doubled since last year. This year, 15 percent of elementary school students will start school with a new laptop, 13 percent will have computer accessories, and 10 percent will receive a new cell phone or smartphone. This is a change from 2009, when 7 percent of elementary school students received a laptop, 7 percent received computer accessories and 6 percent had a new cell phone or smartphone.

Additionally, the intent to purchase back-to-school clothing increased for all age groups compared with last year. According to a release, 85 percent of back-to-school shoppers plan to purchase clothing for elementary school students this year, compared with 78 percent last year. In 2010, 82 percent plan to purchase clothing for middle school students, compared with 77 percent in 2009. Eighty- four percent plan to purchase clothing for high school students, up from 74 percent in 2009

Go one further and layout

July 31st, 2010 admin No comments

Go one further and layout your own glossy magazine with pictures ad text put together in full colour. It’s easier (and cheaper) than you may think.

8. Product packaging. Think package design is the preserve of expensive design shops or advertising agencies? Think again! Most package design these days is done using computers. “Reverse engineer” a package by taking a similar sized one apart to get the dimensions, build your own template from the measurements, then let your imagination run wild. You’ll be surprised at what you can come up with – and how little it will cost.

9. Laying out a catalogue. If you sell multiple products, or just want to let customers know what’s in your shop or store, a catalogue can keep you uppermost in your customer’s mind. Designing it using your own DTP software means you can easily update it without having to pay a fortune to an agency.

The front and

July 30th, 2010 admin No comments

The
front and back seats are spacious, and the leather-trimmed seats are
handsomely coordinated with the silver-colored instrumentation and
wood grain panel trim and console. In my instance, the presentation was
further enhanced by a distinguished-looking Satin Jade Pearl (think
charcoal gray) exterior and interior.

At night, the simply designed, stylish instrument control faces are backlit
an attractive light green. Additionally, the dual-material steering wheel —
it’s light tortoise shell with a leather-covered bottom half — all add up to
give the driver and passengers a serene, luxurious experience.

The ride quality further complements the high praise, including a Best
Buy recommendation from Consumer Guide. My vehicle did have
increased wind rush at higher speeds. But it’s a small issue, particularly
considering the vast standard and optional features.

Among the standard features: Halogen projector headlamps, fog lamps,
heated front seats, tilted power steering wheel with radio controls, tire
pressure monitoring system and rain-sensitive windshield wipers.

More than a dozen option packages are available, with my test drive
featuring the Sound Group II ($635).

They have a low overhead.

July 29th, 2010 admin No comments

They have a low overhead. While large companies can buy components more cheaply, they also spend millions on advertising. The local store can often compete on price, particularly when you upgrade the configuration offered by the big brands to something that is actually usable.

4. They use standard parts. Some of the big names in computers use proprietary parts, such as power supplies, that cannot be replaced with industry-standard parts. With a local computer store, you can specifiy exactly what you want to get.

5. They don’t pre-load your computer with useless software. All the trial and demo version of AOL and other programs can really clutter your computer. If your local store installs Windows, that is all that will be on your computer.

The major drawback is that your local computer store might go out of business. I had that happen with a store that had been around for over 10 years, but the computers I bought from them still work, and when they have to be fixed, any other local computer store can repair them.

The first key is to

July 29th, 2010 admin No comments

The first key is to know your market and who are your best prospects.

To complete step one you need to use some MBA strategies prior to a mass divergence and departure from the norm. We must collect all the information about the best types of customers and categorize them often allowing the blurred lines of the categories to intersect. Gathering information is the key. We use the phone book, chamber of commerce lists, service clubs, actual drive thrus of the area, city business license lists, etc. and then we look at the area and cluster the potential customers. Remember in service business travel time and fuel economy is important.

After this we prioritize the lists, sub-lists and non-list potential non-customers. We study the list to see what we can do for the non-lists to place them on an A, B or C list of potential customers and then we set up our strategy to start contacting the As and Bs and cluster service routes as we consider the second step to the Bonzai and Blitz secret strategies. Consider all this in 2006.
