The Perils of Positive Thinking

Description:

Content:

Something bothered me about the teeth of the consultant who was sitting in front of me, on the other side of the helpdesk. I couldn't identify what it was immediately. I was at my bank's foreign exchange division, hoping to get some advice on an upcoming business trip. As the positive and friendly consultant was talking, I suddenly realized what seemed out of place for me. Embedded in his front tooth was the ultimate symbol of business success - a gold dollar sign! I struggled to concentrate on our conversation. I caught myself in forced contemplation and my curious mind was analyzing why he chose this unique form of expression. I was ambushed by the realization that it was because he was working in foreign exchange. Different strokes for different folks. Some committed corporate employees choose to personalize their car number plates with the company's name, but this consultant chose to add some bite to the bark. I interrogated myself in silence. Was this not taking it a bit too far? Was I a perplexed spectator of misdirected positive thinking?

I'm not sure what the right answer is, but I am convinced that this type of mindset can sometimes lead to eccentric behaviour, to say the least. The wheel starts buckling once we abandon common sense and basic business acumen in the process. Positive thinking without common sense is like operating your computer without anti-virus software. It causes illogical and unnecessary threats to one's career and business that could easily be avoided. Please don't get me wrong! The workplace needs more positive people than ever. No-one can deny the exciting impact that positive attitudes have on the outcome of our strategies and events. The problem is just that positive thinking on its own doesn't pay the bills nor grow market share. Someone once said that zeal without knowledge is deadly. Positive thinking without substance is nothing but a fairytale for adults. Overemphasizing positive thinking at the expense of other critical success factors will only lead to embarrassment and disappointment.

A whole industry has sprung up in recent times to teach us how to radiate a positive image. We get taught to dress professionally and how this will positively influence our companies, careers and credibility. Clients will view us in a new light and the business results will follow. Positive image consultants help us with our colour coding, rearrange our wardrobes and make sure that certain clothing items get the boot. Being in touch with our colours and making our ties and scarves work for us will positively sway opinions around us. We will also feel better about ourselves. To a certain extent this might be true, but what about the elegantly dressed executive who cannot rally her sales force to higher performance? What about the colour coordinated, smartly dressed financial broker who doesn't know the difference between life insurance and a pension fund? Do they perhaps spend too much time in front of the mirror and too little time growing their knowledge, products and people? A young accountant approached her retired mentor one day and asked very expectantly how she managed such a successful career. This answer was surprisingly brief: "Good decisions". In anticipation she launched the next question: "But how can I learn to make good decisions?" The wise mentor paused for a moment and replied: "Through experience!" Again the eager accountant asked: "But how do I gain experience?" Her mentor smiled understandingly: "Through bad decisions!"

Some of the ardent advocates of positive thinking with their new-age message of "I", "me" and "myself" are simply neglecting very important factors in the process. Very often, they do not take into account the importance of experience, teamwork and old-fashioned hard work across the span of a career. It is much easier and profitable to sell instant solutions to the market place. The problem is just that people are not computers. A rapid reboot doesn't instantly prepare people for a lifetime of growth and success. A quick download from a memory stick doesn't build self-awareness nor instantly delete insecurity. A pair of trendy shoes with matching socks doesn't produce the performance required to get promoted to the next level. I don't know about you, but rather give me a team in denims and t-shirts who can do the job efficiently, caring for the customers and who are real and secure about themselves than people with very little substance. The old cliché still rings true: "don't judge a book by its cover!"

All of us will get discouraged some or other time at work. At times like these, we seek out the support of a trusted colleague or friend. This dejected situation usually unfolds in one of two scenarios. The ideal is when the other person truly listens and empathizes with you during this challenging time. You appreciate the chance to get the problem off your chest and leave the room, ready to face the world again. The second scenario involves the friend or colleague that is a single-minded positive thinker. The more that you try to verbalize the problem in order to feel better, the more you get interrupted with "positive solutions". The more you crave empathy, the more they inject you with the importance of positive thinking. It leaves you feeling even more dejected and riddled with guilt about your inability to think positively during this trying time. Interestingly enough this is not a new phenomenon. An ancient Hebrew proverb already described hundreds and hundreds of years back that this type of approach is like "one who takes off a garment on a cold day, or like vinegar on soda, is he who sings songs to a troubled heart."

Positive thinking on its own cannot and will never be a substitute for getting things done and achieving results. Positive thinking without application of knowledge and skill is nothing but wishful dreaming and fraught with the dangers of disillusionment. A penchant for action is a sure way to move ahead in the workplace. One of the greatest characteristics of all successful people is that they are forever action-oriented. Positive thinking in the absence of all the other factors that contribute to success will never be the magic bullet it is made out to be. And before I forget, the positive thinking consultant from my bank with the gold dollar smile made a positive impression on me, but unfortunately he couldn't solve my query...

You Can Work at Home - Achieve your Dreams!

Description:

This article will help you understand the ups and downs of building your home business. It will help you get started and avoid some of the stumbling blocks most of us encounter. I will relay to you some of the mistakes I made and some helpful hints to help you get started on the right foot.

Content:

Would you like to start your own home business? It's a wonderful feeling to be able to work from your own home! It isn't as easy as some people would have you think, however. It does take time, work, and most of all, patience.

When I first started working online, I joined alot of the affiliate programs out there that seemed to be the going thing. After a few weeks of getting nowhere, I began to get frustrated. I realized there were no products to promote! If a program is primarily concerned with you recruiting new members and not products, you are in the wrong program. If no one sells products, there isn't going to be any money made!

Soon I began working on programs that did have products. It didn't take long to realize that all of these products were marketing and how-to items that 80% of affiliates were trying to promote also. I was trying to promote the same things that others were marketing to me!

After weeks of spinning my wheels, I finally thought, why not promote items that real people buy and use everyday? I don't know why it took me so long to figure this out, but maybe you won't make the same mistakes!

I now market popular products that people love and use, and make a great income. I'm glad I didn't give up during the times I was discouraged. You will have these times, but keep going!

The best advice I could give you to start your own business is to find products you believe in and are comfortable marketing. Don't start out thinking you are going to make a huge income in your first weeks! It takes time to get a business up and running.

Advertise your business everywhere you can! Be creative and use your imagination. Classified ads, newsletters, blogs, forums, e-mail advertising, anything you can dream up. The more you can put your business out there, the better your chances are. In my opinion, submitting articles is one of the best ways to advertise your business and improve your rankings with the search engines.

And most of all, above everything else, have patience! If you stick with it, you can realize your dreams.

Avoid the Top 5 Career-killing Mistakes People Still Make & Get the Paycheck you Deserve

Description:

Content:

Unless you are very wealthy or extremely good at winning lotteries, you can expect to be working for 40 years of your life or more. And while not everyone has what it takes to become a top executive, you do have complete control over how far you go and how much you earn in your career.

You can crack the corporate success code! But only if you stop making career-killing mistakes…

Here are the Top 5 Career-Killing Mistakes People Still Make & Then Wonder Why They're Not Advancing Their Careers:

Career Killing-Mistake #1: Not knowing the real purpose of your resume.

Of all the things critical to landing a great job, having a great resume isn't on the list because that's not its real purpose! And you cannot create a killer resume if you don't know what that purpose actually is.

The purpose of your resume is not to get the job. It's to be selected for the short-list of people that the employer wants to interview. This decision is made in less than 10 seconds and NOT by the hiring manager. It's usually an administrative assistant who looks at the submissions and it takes him/her at least 3 seconds to look at your name! Not understanding this means most resumes are thrown in the trash immediately

Career-Killing Mistake #2: Not getting the answer to the most important question of all before you start answering your interviewer's questions.

The hiring decision is made in the first four minutes of a job interview. Everything that happens after this only serves to reinforce your interviewer's decision. You HAVE to get the answer to this question before time is up: Are they looking to hire MORE people like those they already have on the team/in the department or are they looking for people who are DIFFERENT from those already on staff to inject new blood/fresh thinking into their organization? The answer to this question will determine how you respond to their questions. Otherwise, you'll just be wasting their time and yours.

Career-Killing Mistake #3: Believing the key to success is working hard and putting in long hours then making sure your boss knows about it.

Most people believe ensuring people know how hard you are working is the #1 key to getting ahead. No -- A thousand times no! This is actually one of the fastest ways to hold yourself back in your career! In fact only 3% of people working hard ever experience success. And this career-killing mistake is not good for your health either.

Career-Killing Mistake #4: Not doing the one thing that renders all on-the-job competition irrelevant.

The one thing is taking ACTION. Taking action requires no special tools or intelligence. And 98% of your co-workers will NOT be doing it.

In any organization there are always a bazillion things that need to be done. However, 10% of the employee population will make professional commitments to getting thing one with enthusiasm. And only 2% ever actually take action.

Management has to constantly CHASE and FOLLOW UP with the other 98% if they want to make sure things are getting done. So what this means is if you work in a department of 100 people, only 10 people will have high potential and only 2 people will be in direct competition for raises and promotions

So, if you're not taking action you are automatically keeping yourself from getting ahead and won't be taking home the paycheck you deserve.

Career-Killing Mistake #5: Not setting up an employment file at home and not checking what the employer has in your personnel file once a year.

No one will ever care more about your career than you do. Create your own employment file and keep it at home.

Also, once a year, make an appointment with Human Resources to review your personnel file. Mistakes happen. Only you can make sure all the good things that should be in your file are actually there. Opinions (strong ones) of your worth to the employer are formed on the basis of what is found in that file. Don't let the wrong ones be made about you.

The Best Way to Avoid These Career-Killing Mistakes

These career-killing mistakes and many others people still make at work have one thing in common. They are all easily preventable. The best way to do that is to get a good mentor. Someone more experienced, who can guide your way and keep you from making these mistakes in the first place!

Interview Etiquette

Description:

Ever wonder how you can improve your performance in interviews and gain an edge over other candidates? This article cuts through the fluff to show you etiquette tips that most job candidates have never heard of!

Content:

By far, interview etiquette remains the third most important factor that decides the fates of most job candidates. Subject expertise or skills and body language are the only two qualities that score over interview etiquette, according to expert human resource practitioners. These elements gain importance, as they are often the only indications of a candidate's character.

Interview Etiquette: An Overview

If etiquette can be described as rules governing socially acceptable behavior, they apply to a job interview, too, in the same fashion. Good etiquette shows from the moment you enter the company, and how you conduct yourself until you are called.

1. Unless someone shows you in, knock at the door before you enter.

2. Being lenient with dressing, un-pressed clothing or wearing casual clothing for interviews is simply not good etiquette. An office environment and especially interviews call for formal dress.

3. Greeting the interviewer is another aspect of etiquette. Greet him before he greets you, and with a firm handshake. Be assertive in shaking hands, as this is where you can start building a good impression. Remember, being assertive does not mean you are aggressive. Some people slightly take back their opposite shoulder and bend forward simultaneously while shaking hands as a show of respect. But don't indulge in over doing it or shaking hands for endless seconds.

4. Wait until they offer a seat to you or you can ask them if you can have a seat. Choose a seat opposite the interviewer so you can keep direct eye contact. You can sit in a semi-casual position. Crossing the legs at knees may be alright but you should never put a foot over your opposite knee. Shaking your legs during the interview or scratching your head are things to avoid.

5. If you are offered business card, don't just stuff it into your pocket; instead, study the card for a while. You should ask a pertinent question, too. Never write anything on the card; it is not your notepad.

6. Trying to monopolize the conversation will often annoy the interviewer. Making rude remarks or speaking negatively about your past employers will expose the down side of your character. Sitting there with nothing to say can be seen as a negative. You have to have something to say, even if it is just small talk.

7. When you are asked to talk about yourself, they are not asking about your family or personal history. This is your opportunity to make the most of your time; talk about how you can contribute to the organization and so on.

8. Avoid discussing salary in the beginning unless the interviewer brings it up first.

9. Never forget to thank the interviewer before you leave the room; also don't forget to ask whether they want you to get in touch with them or when they can get back you.

10. On your way out, give a thank you and a smile to the receptionist or secretary. These are the people that will often give feedback to the interviewer.

Demystifying the Auditor’s Gathering of Evidence: Part Three

Description:

Content:

On the other hand, sufficiency of evidential matter relates to the quantity of evidence the auditors should obtain. As previously mentioned, there are no fast rules fixing the number of evidence the auditor should have. In this aspect, the auditor exercises professional judgment, taking in consideration the circumstances in the particular case and the cost of obtaining the evidence. The following principles may aid the auditor in determining the quantity of evidence he may gather:
1. The more competent the evidential matter, the less amount of evidence is needed to support his opinion. If the internal control on the processing of credit sales has been evaluated to be effective, from the time sales has been recognized to the eventual payment of the receivable, the auditor could put more confidence that the eventual recording of the transaction is likewise proper. The substantive testing needed for the Receivables and Sales accounts could be reduced to the minimum.
2. The more material a financial statement item is, the greater the need for competent evidence. The Salaries and Wages account normally gets more attention from the auditor than Representation or Office Supplies Expense because the former is usually the bulk of a company’s expenditure. Depending on the nature of the business, the ordinary and direct expenses related to the income-generating activity of the client are more material than the incidental costs of the business.
3. As the risk of material misstatement associated with a particular engagement increases, the more evidence the auditor gathers. If the auditors are engaged to determine if there is fraud involved, the accounting records may not be reliable at all. The risk involved will cause the auditors to assign different weights to various types of evidence than they otherwise would.
In evaluating the evidential matter, the auditor considers whether specific audit objectives have been achieved. These objectives are the backbone of the audit procedures the auditor would accomplish in order to have a reasonable basis for his opinion. In doing so, his mind set should be geared on the possibility that there may be material misstatements in the financial statements, and the audit procedures designed should be sufficient to determine such. Having considered relevant evidential matter, regardless of whether it corroborates or contradicts the assertions in the financial statement, the auditor should obtain first sufficient competent evidence before issuing an opinion.

Offshore Outsourcing is an Unavoidable Trend

Description:

Content:

As more companies transfer programming and call- center jobs offshore, the topic of offshore outsourcing is raging throughout the information technology industry. I understand the frustration of workers whose jobs have been removed and of customers who fail to get their technical-support questions answered. But one of the latest studies indicates that the trend may actually be creating more jobs.

Given our global economy, the globalization of the IT industry is inevitable. Most big IT companies do much of their business overseas and naturally want to have some of their employees in those markets. Lower wages in some countries are also a huge incentive to move operations, especially since high-speed communication removes many of the barriers to dealing with U.S.-based colleagues and customers.

Interestingly, figures say that rather than reducing the number of jobs in the U.S., offshoring is lowering costs for everyone and actually creating jobs, thanks to a more efficient economy. It says that about 354,000 new jobs—both IT and non-IT—were created in 2005 thanks to offshore IT outsourcing, and by 2008 the number will reach over 589,000.

According to a study, fewer than 5 percent of U.S. IT jobs have moved offshore. But analysts predict that by 2010 25 percent will be in developing countries. They urge companies to proceed carefully, as such moves could result in the loss of future talent, intellectual assets, and organizational performance.

Of course, the creation of new jobs isn't much consolation for people who have lost their jobs. Still, moving some jobs offshore seems inevitable. There is no good alternative.

All the emphasis on offshore jobs is obscuring an important trend: Information technology jobs are changing dramatically. Though many IT jobs are still out there, you won't find the huge demand—or the huge salaries and generous options—that we saw in the dot-com era. During that period, many companies had trouble filling open positions, which led to higher wages. Now that we're back to normal, wages have retreated too.

Increased productivity also plays a key role in the new IT job scene: IT support requires fewer people than it once did. Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Mac OS X are far from perfect, but there's no question that they are more stable than Windows 95 or 98, or Mac OS 8 or 9. As a result, companies need fewer people to support them. (And if we can ever get spam and viruses under control, we'll need even fewer support personnel.)

Meanwhile, server consolidation and better desktop management have been significant trends for a long time, resulting in the need for fewer IT jobs. These trends are also reflected in job statistics. IT jobs won't disappear altogether, but we may need fewer of them.

Perhaps the biggest transformation taking place is in programming. The number of computer science majors has dropped significantly, a big concern because these are the people who would have their names on the next great innovations

Avoid the Burn of a Bad Music Contract

Description:

If you are involved with any aspect of the music industry, then you will run across a time where music contracts will be involved. But you have to be very careful in the music industry.

Content:

If you are involved with any aspect of the music industry, then you will run across a time where music contracts will be involved. But you have to be very careful in the music industry. If you are one of the lucky ones that have made it so far to be offered a contract then you are definitely on the right track. Unfortunately, recording contracts can be tricky and you need to make sure you have someone watching your back before you sign.

Some top dogs in the music industry have notoriously taken advantage of the young, naive or just plain desperate. Don't fall victim to bad music business contracts! That is the best advice you can be given. The excitement of being offered a contract should never alter your judgment of the terms in music contracts or recording contracts.

You have to be on the defense at all times in the music industry. I mean, we are talking about your career and your money, after all. People who only have your best interest in mind are the only people you should be involved with. That is the bottom line. Recording contracts, for example, should allot you the biggest share of any profits just to start.

Always keep in mind that when you sign music business contracts that you are signing a real, no holds barred legal document. This document can make you or absolutely break you so you have to be on guard. Also, you need to make sure that everything promised to you is written down and included in the music contracts. Unfortunately, a man's word is just not as good as it used to be. You can't argue a handshake in court.

You may be wondering if you need legal help at this point. Well, you do not technically need a lawyer to read a document for you. If you don't feel confident that you understand absolutely every word contained within, then you should question it. If you feel like your question about the recording contracts is being avoided, then consult legal assistance.

The music industry is a tough business. Fully understanding music contracts is an even harder business. Not every company, manager or label is devious and out to get you. But you do need to be aware of those that are. Don't become overzealous and sign anything placed before you. Take the music business contracts home, review them with your band members. Then make notes on questions you may have or areas that you feel are up for revision.

How Work At Home Moms Work Through Distractions

Description:

Other than any children that may be present, work at home moms are more susceptible to distractions than anyone else in the work force is...

Content:

Other than any children that may be present, work at home moms are more susceptible to distractions than anyone else in the work force is. Family and friends will stop in just to see the kids, or to say hello and that day's work is going to get further behind. That does not count the natural distractions of the children you are probably staying home to care for.

Fortunately, there are many opportunities for work at home moms so that they can remain at home and care for their family while still being a productive member of the work force. Most work at home opportunities allow for liberal working hours, providing deadlines are met, as well as have a relaxed dress code. Most work at home moms believe that if it was not for the lack of dress code, they would have trouble getting their work done.

The pre-internet envelope stuffing scam still proliferates through cyberspace, with the difference being how fast the scammer can get your money. Probably the hardest thing for a work at home mom will be deciding which opportunity is worth of their time and effort. Home assembly of products, which if connected to a legitimate company, can offer lucrative earnings, but unless you can zip through product assembly like a hot knife through butter, is probably not the right at home job for you.

Typically, work at home moms have a large network of other work at home moms where they discuss ideas of keeping busy and making money while staying home and taking care of the kids. This type of brainstorming can create numerous new businesses based on the needs of this group. For example, a few stay at home moms started a website designed to help moms work at home. They have researched many different work at home opportunities and only talk about the ones they determined were not scams.

Additionally, with moms in constant communication, if one is getting behind on a deadline another may be able to jump in and help them catch up. The favor will be repaid later, but all jobs can get done by deadline when they help each other. They can also help in trading babysitting services if one is really behind in their work. Watching a neighbor's child today can help you out tomorrow if you get really busy.

Another advantage of networking with other work at home moms is they can share information about which opportunities offer the best income potential and which ones a fraudulent. They can protect everyone in their circle from making the transition from work at home mom to victim. You can also share success stories with others to help them achieve the same income level you may be enjoying.

Employee Retention: Lessons From a Master

Description:

The secret to a low turnover rate begins with recruiting the best people possible and is followed by solid retention tactics, such as fostering professional development, giving positive feedback, and respecting and rewarding employees.

Content:

While visiting this award-winning restaurant over the past year, I noticed that the same lovely hostess greeted me warmly each time. And the waiters were always the same helpful and easygoing professionals. Given that restaurants, like the hospitals we serve, often struggle with retaining both staff and management, I began to wonder about Blue Ginger’s secret.

During my most recent dinner there, I got the opportunity to find out. Chef Ming was kind enough to take a few minutes to share some tips on retaining top employees in a turnover-prone service industry. I’m delighted now to pass them along to you.

Clearly, keeping your talent engaged, happy, and productive should be Job #1 at your organization. This is a priority at Blue Ginger, where many managers and staff have worked for the restaurant well over the industry norm of two years. In fact, three of his managers, Paula, Jon, and Sarah, have all been at the restaurant for more than five years.

According to Chef Ming, good retention starts with good hiring. He is involved in almost all hiring decisions and asks potential candidates for a commitment of two years – an eternity at most restaurants. Even though he can’t really enforce such a commitment, it sets a high level of expectation that permeates the Blue Ginger team.

During the interview, Chef Ming also outlines possible career paths for those coming on board. He lets line cooks know they can move up to sous chef, and waiters can move into management. In fact, Chef Ming rarely hires management from the outside and, instead, typically promotes from within.

“I screen for attitude when hiring,” Chef Ming told me. “I can teach just about any necessary skill to my employees, but I can’t teach attitude.” What I found particularly refreshing was Chef Ming’s own attitude. He feels that he must set a good example for his staff and encourage a team atmosphere. He personally greets all employees in the morning and wishes them a good night when they leave. “I make it a point to say ‘please’ and ‘thank you,’ and I never say that someone works for me. Rather, we work together.” His approach to his employees struck me as particularly genuine and personal – indicating that he really cares about them.

Of course, nobody is perfect. Chef Ming described a bad hire, a key chef who interviewed well but with time did not successfully integrate into the team. “I let him go as soon as it was clear he wasn’t a good fit,” said Chef Ming. “One of the biggest mistakes one can make in this business is to simply hope things will change. If a person isn’t working out, it can be a drain on others. It’s better for all concerned to end things sooner rather than later.”

Chef Ming’s interest in his employees’ well-being extends to his business decisions. For instance, he told me that early on, he sensed that his staff felt the strain of working weekends. A family man himself, he understood that personal time is a precious commodity, and that no amount of money would make up for missing countless weekends with family and friends. He decided to close the restaurant on Sundays, and open instead on Mondays. While it wasn’t the best financial decision for the business, it was indeed the best decision for his staff. He feels this one change was a crucial element to his high rate of retention.

Chef Ming also understands the need to recognize and reward his people. In addition to positive feedback and a collaborative atmosphere, he gives management and line cooks cash bonuses at the end of the year, based on the restaurant’s profitability. “Cash is king,” says Chef Ming, who went on to explain that in the restaurant business, waiters can make much more money than management, which can be a sore spot at times. Giving management and line cooks a cash bonus brings their salaries more in line with the waitstaff and ties their compensation to the success of the organization.

Summary: Those of us in the healthcare industry can learn much from Chef Ming’s success running Blue Ginger. The secret to a low turnover rate begins with recruiting the best people possible and is followed by solid retention tactics, such as fostering professional development, giving positive feedback, and respecting and rewarding employees. These are great lessons from a master.

Professional Copywriting Techniques: Influencing Others Through Words

Description:

Content:

Copywriting is a manner of promoting products, services, ideas or even personalities to the public through the use of words. A good copy has a textual style and content that can effectively sway people's opinions about the object that the copy is intended for. You might not realize the fact that professional copywriting has been around for a long time influencing how society thinks and affecting human lives in more ways than one.

For business entities, professional copywriting is indispensable because it is the cornerstone of brand building. Remember that unforgettable tagline your telephone company has printed right under its logo? It is a good bet that those words are a product of some professional copywriter's imagination. Copywriting also provides for effective presentations and information sharing within industries.

Over the Internet, well-arranged words are the only means that people and businesses can get the attention they want from the public. In websites, professional copywriting is evident in the way keywords are arranged for search engine optimization, which in turn, is largely the way marketing nowadays is conducted online. Even ordinary websites that do not sell anything need to have an effective copy or risk losing visitor traffic.

But more often than not, you will see the full contributions of professional copywriting in marketing. It is an important component in promoting products or services. As it is involved in all advertising campaigns done in the free world, copywriting has greatly influenced people's buying decisions. And because of this important function, the scope of copywriting has engulfed the whole of mass media.

While copywriters already abound in the real world and in cyberspace, it is never too late to learn the concepts of professional copywriting. Learn how to make your own copy like professionals do so you can save on your expenses, grow your business, or dabble into professional copywriting altogether. The following are the top copywriting techniques that you can use to help you on your way to becoming a professional. It does not matter what you want to promote, professional copywriting revolves around these basic concepts.

Make Broad Ideas Simple

Professional copywriters have unparalleled abilities in turning complex ideas into concise and simple-worded phrases or sentences. Complicated information about certain products and services can lead to customer decline; complexity is the enemy of marketing. People have enough things to consider in their lives already, so normally they will not bother cramming more difficult ideas into their heads. Simple statements that get their attention are an essence of professional copywriting; professional copywriters often rely on the power of small words to convey their ideas.

Put The Subject In The Limelight

Great professional copywriters put the product, services or whatever subject they are tasked to promote at the center of attention in their words. Copywriting requires adequate and accurate knowledge of the subject so that the copywriter is acquainted with its characteristics, its strengths and weaknesses; and ultimately know what words and phrases will be used to effectively advance the subject.

Know The Prospective Audience

Professional copywriting always think of ways on how to put the subject into the lives of their prospective audience. Building new and lasting relationships with prospects through the use of words require that copywriters know how their intended audience think and feel. By doing so, copywriters can effectively reach out into the prospects' decision making processes.

Related to this technique is the ability to bring about familiarity with the target audience or reader. An effective copy can impress trust from other people.

Creativity Is The Name Of The Game

As a professional copywriter, you must invent ways to make your copy unique. Hone your skills at seeing potentially good copy ideas around you and not merely in books or websites. Being creative is the most important quality that a copywriter must possess. Being common and imitative will only bring rejection or even mockery from prospective audience.

People are a fickle lot; to please prospects you must always come up with new concepts. Your clients and their prospects will always open their minds to something they have not seen or heard before.

Be Informative

At the bottom line of every copywriting job is the need to spread information to the public; with a hope that the copy will influence the public's views regarding the copywriter's subject. As a professional copywriter, you must capitalize on the people's clamor to learn new things and to be aware of their surroundings. Being informative, your copy will almost surely gain proper attention from the people.

A Career in Graphic Design - Working your way to the top of the creative industries

Description:

Top design jobs from creative directors down to lowly artworkers. How to get into the graphic design industry

Content:

Creative Director
Lets start at the top and work down. Art directors, or Creative Directors are responsible for a creative team that may design work for magazines, television, advertising graphics, websites, or on packaging. A creative team can consist of layout artists, graphic designers, photographers, copywriters, and menial staff to do the work. An Art directors job is to make sure that each of these workers do not slack off down the pub and complete their work to a deadline and to the client's needs. Art directors also make major decisicions along the lines of should the background be slate grey or cobalt blue, issuing dictates and changing their mind several days after a deadline has passed - leaving co-workers resolutely glum about their position in the grand scheme of things. Art directors will inevitably have come from some kind of marketing or sales background and need no prior graphic design knowledge or skill.

Senior Designer
A Senior Designer is mainly concerned with the visual aspects of a company and will probably have been promoted on the basis that she is fun and a 'great team player' (despite this being far from the case). A Senior Designer will usually insist on having a larger widescreen monitor than the rest of the team which will be decorated variously with fluffy pink bits marketing people send through on a daily basis. A Senior Designer will be involved in the elements of a company's look such as business cards, stationery, packaging design, media advertising graphics, promotional design, and sticking up pictures of topless 'hunks'.

Graphic Designer
The job of a Graphic Designer is to provide a new and exciting way to express the key information of a company or product through a dynamic image or use of typography. Graphic Designers take the scant information given to them by the client and using the internet to scab some free clip art, fashion their own ripped off logo designs in order to fleece the client for all they are worth.

Layout Artists and Artworkers
The engine room of the design world. These scumbags have been buried away with their dusty macs for decades, remorselessly churning out pages and layouts. Inevitably some clueless muppet will send over a 100 page brochure layed out in microsoft word and it will be the Artworkers thankless task to make it publishable. They will need to recognise a font at 50 yards, be able to colour correct the dreariest of images and take a good bollocking every now and again to keep them on their toes. The Artworker must have the ability to design magazines, design brochures, design flyers, design books and design posters. He harbours murder fantasies.

Illustrators
Illustrators generally speaking will have long greying hair and be influenced by prog rock. Working from home among the dungeon and dragonns figurines and manga comics they will attempt to put their own unique spin on whatever brief they are given. What you will be presented with is a semi clad girl with oversized boobs. You will have waited several weeks for this. You will never learn from previous mistakes.

Web Designers
Web designers create the pages, layout, and graphics for web pages, they will be technically minded to the point of absurdity. They will insist on using c++ coding language to impress other geeks and will beaver away doing whatever it is geeks do for hours on end. Web designers also design and develop the navigation tools of a site which will for design websites involve tiny text that makes your eyes bleed. Web designers are far too clever for their own good and should never be encouraged.

Transcription vs. Data Entry, Which Pays Best?

Description:

The two jobs that come to mind first when people think of telecommuting quite often are transcription and data entry.

Content:

The two jobs that come to mind first when people think of telecommuting quite often are transcription and data entry. There are a few similarities between the jobs:

• Good typing speed (60 WPM or better)
• Accurate typing
• Reliable computer
• Reliable internet connection (probably high speed)

Despite the similarities, the jobs themselves are quite different.

Transcription jobs require a bit more training, especially if transcribing from a recording. Medical and legal transcriptions are much more specialized. It may also require the purchase of a 4-track transcriber. A good vocabulary and grammar skills are also important. The pay rates for transcription are usually based on a per-line rate, ranging from $ 0.06 to $ 0.12.

Transcriptionists quite often get regular work with more than one company, on a freelance basis. But, there are times when people can get a full-time position, with benefits with one company. If you already have a position doing transcription in-office, it might be worth asking your employer to consider telecommuting.

Data entry jobs are less specialized, but can be equally challenging. You need to be very accurate in your typing, not only with the standard keyboard, but also with the ten key. Data entry jobs may pay an average of $8 an hour, to start. There is quite a bit of competition for the data entry.

After you decide which job is right for you, you need to decide if you want to approach it as a job, or as a business owner, offering your services to companies on a freelance basis. Both approaches have their pros and cons.

If you run your own business, you have the freedom to pick and chose your jobs, set your own schedule and vacation times. But, you also have to keep track of your income and expenditures for taxes. If you work as an employee, it saves you doing all the extra paperwork involved in running your own business.

Either way, you need to act as professionally as possible, to keep a good working relationship with the companies you deal with on a daily basis.

Career Track: Becoming An Engineer

Description:

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics defines engineers as those who "apply the theories and principles of science and mathematics to research and develop economical solutions to technical problems.

Content:

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics defines engineers as those who "apply the theories and principles of science and mathematics to research and develop economical solutions to technical problems." In other words, engineers are the ones who solve complex problems for the rest of us.

There are approximately 1.5 million engineers in the U.S. today. Engineering is a challenging job with decent pay (an engineer's pay is higher than most with just a bachelor's degree). In fact, the average salary for an engineer was reported at just slightly over $65,000 in 2002. The top 10% of all engineers earned more than $90,000. Of course, an engineer's salary ultimately depends on their location and specialty.

Engineers find employment virtually anywhere innovation takes place. Engineers design and manufacture machines, processes, systems and even economical structures. They commonly work in the government, research, industry, military, teaching, management or consulting sectors.

There are more than 25 recognized career tracks for the engineer. And you can rest assured that as technology advances, engineering specialties will only grow in number. A few of the major engineering specialties include; aerospace, chemical, civil, electrical industrial, materials, mechanical, and software engineering.

You will at least need a bachelor's degree from a university engineering program to qualify for an engineering position. The degree must be from a college or university accredited by the ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology).

To get into most college engineering programs, a student is expected to have completed two years of high school algebra and one year of trigonometry. They should have also completed one year of both chemistry and physics.

As you've probably heard, engineers are typically very good at math and science. So if the thought of algebra makes you squirm, this career may not be the right one for you.

The best engineers enjoy complex problem solving, and are true inventors at heart. If you choose engineering as a career, you can expect to be right on the cutting edge of technology. You will turn ideas into reality and solve problems that better society.

Her clients that stem from her home in the CA. Bay Area and her clients from Hawaii to Oregon have come to her for instruction and education in starting their own companies and Teri decided it was time to put together a detailed training course that is user friendly that they can use at their own pace.

Stuff To Think About Before You Begin Your Home Business

Description:

A short quiz to determine if you're suited for having your own home business.

Content:

To become a successful work-at-home entrepreneur, you must possess more than a desire to work from your own home. The most successful entrepreneurs have the following qualities: * A high level of self-motivation and personal drive and a commitment to work long hours each day as you grow your business. * The ability to establish a plan with solid goals and work hard to reach them. * A willingness to take risks. * Specific expertise, knowledge, and talent in your field of interest. * Ability to identify your market and reach them. * In addition, you must realize that you could work for months before actually generating a profit.

If you possess the majority of these characteristics, then you have a shot at making it on your own. Determining what business is right for you will require a short self-assessment.

So, do you have what it takes to WFH (Work-From-Home)?

What types of skills and experience do you have that could be brought into your business?

For example: * If you are interested in starting a bookkeeping service, do you possess good skills in math, working with calculators, computer spreadsheets and knowledge of how a bookkeeping system works? * What do you enjoy doing with your time? Are you a person who starts things or one who seems to put things off? Are you a "busy" natured person or do you get pleasure out of sitting down with a good book or watching television? * Can you turn your hobbies and interests into cash? For instance, could you easily market your woodcraft hobby and meet the demand it might create? * Will your family, especially your spouse, support you in your business? It is extremely important that your family supports your decision to start your own business. You will depend on their strength, support, and encouragement each step of the way. * How much of your time will have to be put into operating a business? Expect to spend many hours each day managing and growing your business, especially during those important start-up months. * What products and/or services can you offer? Make a list of what you will sell, whether it is actual products or services. * Who are your competitors and what advantages will you have over them? Do some research and discover who else in your locality is offering the same products and services? What can you do to give you an edge over them? * Is your idea practical and will it fill a need? Will there be a demand for what you have to offer? Is it something that will meet the needs of your target customers? * How much money do you need to get started and are you aware of any resources to fund your business? Do cost estimates on everything you will need. Total up all costs that come to mind to figure the amount of money you will need to get the business up and running. Where will you get the money? * What equipment and supplies will you have to purchase to get started and meet your future needs?

Make a list of everything you must have to get started now plus what you might need to grow your business further.

You now should have a good idea if working-from-your-home is right for you and if you have what it takes to make it work.

If you have what it takes...go for it!
