"The point is ladies and gentlemen, that greed… for lack of a better word is good." Gordon GekkoSaving money, generating cash flow (creating an atmosphere where the employer can do those two things) are all the employer is interested in. They will not hire you because their bank accounts are swollen and about to burst and they need a way to get rid of the money. Before you try to market yourself to the employer, you need to get focused on their Greed Gland. Business is about profit, pure and simple. Even non-profit organizations have to keep costs down and funds flowing in, to sta
Choice #4 – Choosing to take a job will only spiral down his career, his confidence, his perceived capability and his cash. Being talked into – that is recruited/sold – a cookie-cutter position versus taking a position that has been engineered around him. There should be no question.
Well, Steve has gotten accustomed to the commute and his efficiency apartment and really looks forward to seeing his kids next weekend. The job is just that – he’s surviving, but there’s no challenge…same-o every day. That recruiter
Have you ever heard people say that to you. Well this article gives you something to think about.You are the smallest company in the economy. So tell me what is your business?When we are still at school there are little worries. We learn and we observe others, but then, at one moment we are to choose. This can be versatile; there are so many jobs and careers to choose from that it may dazzle you when you are leaving the school door.Take your time, but do not forget that if you do not choose others will choose for you. You can accept that job that is not ideal and thi
Steve’s wife can’t figure out why he’s so moody and angry…she doesn’t understand that Steve has feelings of rejection from a company he had been loyal to for 5 years. He had poured heart and soul into his projects. Even though he didn’t always agree with his manager’s direction, on a project he shepherded, he had been recognized for achievement. Gosh, only 2 years in and already a rising “star”.
In hindsight, Steve saw he had subtly butted heads on how the team was treated by management and that he made suggestions that “his bosses’ way” was backward. Things began to slip. It was more real when he didn’t get a merit raise. He didn’t fathom the basic tenet that consistent values with the management are fundamental to longevity. You see, Steve made an “easy” choice to compromise his work ethics and principles because he thought he was on the upside of lots of growth (money).
Choice #1 – Choose based on values – not only on personalities in the organization.
Now that his desk was cleared out, a few weeks to wind down was in order before he could mount the energy to start looking. After all, he deserved a break, didn’t he? It gave him time to think over what went wrong…to concentrate, to brood over the calamity that landed on him because others hadn’t done their jobs. It simply wasn’t fair…Jesse, their 6 year old, couldn’t understand why “daddy just sits in the den and won’t play with me anymore…”
Choice #2 – You have power to choose your reaction to difficulty. It was business, not personal, and even if it was personal, so what, get some support, get some direction, get some help to tackle this bump in the road and get on with life.
Steve’s wife finally pushed him to get his resume posted online…this is easy! What he didn’t know was the internet is only about 4% of the market and that less than 10% of the companies who have posted have ever hired someone from the internet. He has complacently fallen into a deadly trap believing quantity will always yield quality positions!
Choice #3 – Choosing to get a career by coincidence will seldom (read seldom as never) yield a role with expansive growth potential and long term satisfaction. It is not easy; it takes expertise, competitive edges of timing, better exposure and more powerful communications about capacity to win a position of your choice.
Eventually, Steve let a recruiter encourage him to “get his foot in the door” in a company a few states over. It was his only “egg in his nest” and a few steps back to where he had been 8-9 years earlier…and he’d have to leave Sundays and come back home Fridays since relocation wasn’t even offered. But what choice does he have – it’s been 11 months since he was let go and savings have dwindled and he’s tired of being a stay-at-home dad.

While many fans are anxious for the big game itself, business executives around the world have their attentions turned to Super Bowl commercials. Much of the next week will be focused on the best-known or most-famous commercials that have aired during the history of the game, and everyone will be talking about the big spots that are set to air this year.With airtime during the game this year being estimated at about $2.6 million for a 30-second spot, this is a venture that only the powerhouses or the truly imperialistic would embark on. But a successful Super Bowl commercial can

"In the fourth quarter of 2006 Mancini Group found a double digit increase in Employment and Education Verifications" stated Simpson, President of the Mancini Group. As more small and mid-size companies use background checks the increase in our business has been in this area due to more falsification on resumes. We are digging more and finding more information on prospective employees including previous salaries, dates of employment, job titles and job descriptions. In the education areas we are finding more falsified information on graduation dates, majors, minors and specialty educatio
