    Acting Lesson to be an Successful Actor
    Successful ActorsAdvice to anyone who wants a career as an actor.Be on time.On a big film the money is going out the door at about 30 grand every 20 minutes. On a network TV show the rate is only a bit less. If you are ten minutes late for a job that pays five hundred bucks - you will be very disliked by the producer and everybody that works for him. People will scream at you. If you are late for an audition, the casting director will worry that you won't get to the job on time. If you are late for a

    Finding A Job Using The Internet
    Times have changed; job seekers and employers are no longer waiting for the newspaper delivery in the local shop to find that perfect job and employers are no longer rushing to place an advert in the paper. Today people are using the internet as a fast and reliable means to find jobs and look for employees. The use of online recruitment is growing steadily with the growth of the World Wide Web. The internet, compared to regular newspapers is reaching out to more people around the world, providing up-to-date and comprehensive informatio
    There're many ways to conduct online job search. However, many job seekers only think of posting resumes and searching opportunities on big job sites like monster.com, hotjobs.com, and careerbuilder.com etc. There's nothing wrong with it, but according to a survey conducted by careerXrooads.com, of all hires in 2002, only 3.6% come from monster.com, 1.5% come careerbuilder.com, and 0.5% come from hotjobs.com. Morever, many companies only advertise their job openings on their own company websites and some other speciality websites. Wouldn't it be nice if you can use search engines to find these opportunities that are ignored by other job seekers?

    Before we go any further of how to conduct online job search, I would like to talk a little bit about Boolean Logic. If you are a math or a computer student, you may have already known it. Actually, it's very powerful, yet simple to use in search engines. The following are some of the most popular Boolean operators, modifiers and field search commands.

  • AND: Collects documents that include all terms.

    Google default operator.

    Example: job AND nursing

  • OR: Collects documents that include at least one of the terms.

    Example: nurse OR rn

  • NOT Collects documents that include the term that precedes it but not the

    term that follows it.

    AltaVista: AND NOT; Google: - (e.g. –submit); All The Web: ANDNOT

    Example: manager AND NOT sales

  • NEAR Collects documents with both terms that are within close proximity to

    each other (usually 10 terms or less).

    AltaVista ONLY. Useful for finding contacts within a specific location.

    Example: manager NEAR marketing

  • Quotation Marks “” Specify an exact phrase

    Example: “SAS programmer”

  • Parenthesis () Define a search subset

    Not used in Google

    Example: (iowa OR ia) AND (manager OR director)

  • Wildcard Symbol * Matches any type and number of characters.

    AltaVista ONLY.

    Example: manag*

  • url: Look for keywords in the document URL.

    Google: inurl

    Example: url:position AND ibm

  • title: Look for keywords in the document title.

    Google: intitle

    Example: title:position AND merk

  • link: Look for pages linked to a particular URL.

    Example: link:dell.com

  • host: Scans a specific computer or host of a URL.

    Example: host:mit.edu

  • domain: Looks for pages within a specific domain like .com, .org, .edu.

    Example: domain:.org AND nurse

    AltaVista: like:

    Example: filetype:xls OR filetype:pdf

    The 'S' Corporation is a Dinosaur
    The ‘S’ corporation is a dinosaur. It has been over-rated and overused as a ‘knee-jerk’ default entity choice when in fact its usefulness is limited to specific circumstances. Many well-meaning advisers have for years urged their clients to use the ‘S’ corporation based upon outdated case law or cocktail party conversations that were a poor substitute for continuing education. As a practical matter, the ‘S’ corporation’s utility is severely limited, primarily because it restricts flexibility, ownership choices, tax savings and liabilit
