17 Important Things To Remember As You Prepare For An Interview
Several Days - One Week Before the Interview1. Spend some time to research the organization and the position at hand. To find company-specific information, visit your local library, run a search on the internet, or talk to current or former employees about their experiences and impressions of the company. Study up on the company's products and services, industry, target market, annual sales, geographic location(s), structure, history, officers, and any other key information. Are there any new trends in the industry?2. Identify the organization’s major competitors and do some basic research on how they differ (either positively or negatively) from the company at which you are

Be Wary of Green Washing
Products on market today that claim to be recycled or have recycled content in them may not be true. Because there are not any regulations in place about recycled content, it's often confusing and misleading to consumers. By distinguishing the difference between what Post Consumer Waste and Post Industrial Waste, Consumers can make more educated decisions on the products that they purchase.Post-Consumer Waste can be defined as paper that has already been used and returned through a recycling program, and keeping it out of the landfill. This process usually involves removing the inks from these materials and then processed to make new paper or board. Office paper waste makes up the majo

The most important minutes in the Interview Process are the first five minutes! For that reason, you must make a great first impression. Needless to say, dress professionally. Do not be a trend setter on an interview. Dress in a conservative suit for men, white shirt, contrasting tie, and shined shoes; for women, a skirted suit is still preferable to a pant suit, also a light color blouse, as well as neutral colored hose and heels!

You may be wondering why I would even mention this- you wouldn’t even believe the amount of people who do not dress professionally on interviews! Very early in my career as a Recruiter, an employer turned down a candidate for a variety of reasons- one being, he didn’t bother to shine his shoes! He had made the effort to do everything else right, but wore his “work shoes” on the interview! I also remember the woman who when I told her to we

Making It Great!
Today I am joined by Phil Gerbyshak of Make It Great!, one of the web’s premier personal development bloggers.Benjamin: How did you get started in the field of Self Improvement?Phil: About 5 years ago, I decided I wasn’t happy with the path I was on, so I decided to pick up a few good books to try to get motivated and change my life. I was reading about 20 books a year, and over the past 5 years, I’ve turned it up to read 40-50 a year on self-improvement, motivation, business, and the like.B: Were you always this positive a person?P: No, I sure haven’t been. I used to be an energy sucker. It pains me to admit it, but I was until about 7 years ago. Most of the peopl

Is Your Yellow Page Rep Working for You?
The real question would be, how are they actually paid? But let’s start at the beginning. Assuming you are the archetype small, family-run business, that is the typical Yellow Page advertiser, you probably have a YP rep that sees you every year. Or perhaps you are a moderate spender that only warrants a telephone call instead. Either way, you will be contacted by the rep and should be aware of some basic truths. What qualifies me to give them to you, you may ask? Because I was a YP rep for 25 years, owned my own advertising agency prior to that and have a degree in marketing. So, with those credentials, let’s look at the rep. On every call they should be providing: A review of your c

Business Branding for the Future
Does business branding play a significant role in your marketing campaign? Again, as in other articles, I like to begin with the philosophy behind the subject matter. This establishes the general feeling behind the need for the same.A business decides to employ branding techniques simply to reach their target market. However the philosophy that determines which market and under what exposure is the interesting part.Branding a product means that it must be produced with the customers in mind. But which customers and how to decide the branding necessary is the problem?For a start it is essential for a business to work with its strengths and promote them accordingly, e.g.wh

One Size EMR Does Not Fit All
Is there an electronic medical record system ready for the 21st century? Is there an affordable electronic medical record system? Can a good EMR help to reduce my business’s medical liability expenses?21st Century Specs You Need for Your EMRThis is a time of fast-paced business. To be blunt, if your current EMR does not keep up with 21st century needs, than your medical practice will experience something similar to driving down a road filled with potholes. No matter how fast you try to move, you will keep getting your practice knocked around until you finally have to pay more to repair it.Why not take a road without potholes? An EMR that can keep up with the needs of your pr

’t bother to shine his shoes! He had made the effort to do everything else right, but wore his “work shoes” on the interview! I also remember the woman who when I told her to wear stockings during the high heat of the summer, pacified me and decided not to listen to that advice. On my follow-up call to the prospective employer, he was laughing at my advice and had decided to hire her because she had more common sense than her recruiter during a heat wave! Luckily for her, he was one of my most easygoing and relaxed clients; and stockings were not a big concern for him like they would have been to other prospective employers. Both of these stories illustrate the fact that your goal is to make the prospective employer concentrate on YOU and what you have to offer their company instead of what you are wearing!

What is a Virtual Assistant? Who uses a Virtual Assistant? How much do they charge? How can they complete my work without being in my office? How is a Virtual Assistant more beneficial than someone in my office? How do I know that I can trust the hours they charge and that they won’t share my personal information? How do I go about finding a Virtual Assistant that is a “match” for me?

Category benefits are a poor substitute for brand meaning and brand definition. It is one of the major pratfalls in brand development and a trap into which many brands fall victim. Defining your brand by such benign promises is a sure fire bet to promote the market leader — not exactly what you have in mind when your goal is to grab market share and outsmart your competition.

Size matters. Or, at least, that is what the big players like to think. Here in Ireland, we have been more aware than most that size is relative. More than most too, we have taken sides when the little streets have hurled themselves against the great.
