    Job Applications - Common Interview Questions Part 1
    Questions about your present, or most recent, job can be tricky and if you aren't careful you can ruin your chances by making negative or undiplomatic comments. So make sure you are prepared.In an ideal world, we'd all get on brilliantly with the boss and our colleagues - and we'd love every minute of the job. If this were the case, it's very unlikely we'd ever look for another post. In the real world, the reason you want to leave a job may well be that you don't get on with

    The following morning, the parts arrive in a box at my doorstep. I’m confused. Why were they sent to me and not to the service person?

    I call in again, and the auto-voice tells me we’re still on for Thursday’s meet.

    Wholesale Advertising Specialties
    The revolution in the advertising industry has necessitated a change in the traditional mode of advertising. Newspapers, radio, television, direct mailers, or even the Internet is no longer enough to meet the demands of the various advertising needs. In today's demanding times, the call is for a different kind of infusion that can pump up the advertising campaign. This infusion forms specialty advertising.Over the years, many companies have developed an expertise in wholesale
    I didn’t realize how bad service had become until recently when I tried to get a brand new dryer repaired under warranty.

    I did everything right. In fact, I didn’t even press to get an earlier appointment.

    The repair truck pulled up, and the driver just sat there for about ten minutes before coming to the door. When he arrived, he mumbled so badly that I had to keep prompting him to repeat himself.

    He asked what was wrong with the machine, as if he hadn’t been briefed.

    “It won’t dry clothes.”

    Looking at the machine he said “We’ve had a lot of problems with this model. Maybe you can get them to give you a new one.”

    “It is new,” I pointed out.

    “Well, I suppose we can order the parts,” he murmured, not at all bolstering my confidence in his abilities.

    “You mean you don’t have the parts on the truck?” I asked, wondering at that point why they even bothered having trucks, except for the fact that customers might expect to see them.

    “No, I’ll have to order the parts for you,” he replied weakly, and with that, he opened a battered laptop, something out of Han Solo’s junk cruiser, and began to tap in an order.

    He printed a receipt and told me he was setting an appointment for the following Thursday, but he didn’t expect the parts would even be in at that point. If they hadn’t arrived, he’d set yet another appointment.

    Fast forwarding, I got an automated call on Tuesday telling me to phone in about my scheduled appointment. I am told that my parts won’t arrive in time for Thursday’s slot because “They haven’t even been shipped, yet.”

    The Reference Check: How People Lose Job Offers At This Stage
    The reference check is probably the most ignored part of the job search process.As a recruiter I’m always amazed how many job searchers consider the reference check to be a moot point given how little time and effort they spend on this part of their job search.Typically, references are completed by a company (or recruiter) directly before they are about to make a job offer. Companies aren’t in the process of creating extra work for themselves so they tend to only proce

    Naming Your Start-up: Simple Do's and Don’ts
    The time to start thinking about the ideal name for your new business is at the same time you start putting your business plan on paper. Yes, your business – no matter how small a start-up – should have a written business plan. But that’s another story for another day. For now, let’s look at the most important reason to pick just the right name for your business.If there’s one idea you want to carry with you always, particularly as you evaluate possible names for your busi

    Do Gay Men Really Make More Than The Average American?
    There are those who have observed that many gay men appear to make more money than the average American? Some pass this off as Urban Myth, while others say “no” and say it is true. Some claim that Homosexual men do not make more than the average, some claim they make less and that if you are to take into consideration all the closet homosexuals that in fact they make much less than the average American.In my estimation and observance of homosexual men they do make more money

    I call in and they tell me, “We tried calling both of your numbers at 7:40 in the morning.”

    What that has to do with getting my clothes dried, I don’t know.

    My phone logs show no such contacts were made, and I suspect the driver went to the beach, instead, and I say so.

    We reschedule for the next Tuesday, from 1-5. Again, the driver is a no-show.

    What’s up with this? Where is your man?

    I call and express my concern, mentioning I am President of Customersatisfaction.com and best-selling author of numerous books, including MONITORING, MEASURING & MANAGING CUSTOMER SERVICE.

    A poorly trained, robotic CSR says, “I’m sorry that happened. Would you like to set another appointment?”

    I’m inconsolable.

    “I don’t want your apologies or even appointments. I want DRY CLOTHES!” I bark.

    We’re going on three weeks, and I’ve complained through the web, called in to a “special 800 number,” which wasn’t staffed, and I’m about to return the machine, altogether.

    Someone needs to give this behemoth of a company this message:

    Warranties came about because customers wouldn’t buy increasingly complicated machinery and technology without the promise that they would be repaired when they broke or failed to perform their intended functions.

    Warranties and the service that makes them meaningful are not add-ons or gifts that are “given” to customers.

    They are PART OF THE PRODUCT ITSELF, bargained and paid for, expected and essential satisfactions.
