Best Ways To Make Money

In today’s competitive marketplace, you will find some resume writing firms offering guarantees for the products they deliver. How do these guarantees work, you ask? They typically commit the resume company to reworking the product if the client has not earned an interview in a certain amount of time, say 30 or 45 days.

OK. Sounds nice, right?

But are you guaranteed a better resume as a result? Not necessarily. And this may have absolutely nothing to do with the level of expertise the writer holds or the quality of the document they produced.

Is it a bad thing?

Resume guarantees have some pros and some cons. For example, on the pro side, they tend to build the confidence the job seeker may have in the resume writer. Resume guarantees can also be a strong marketing tool to drive customers to a particular firm. However, many resume writers that also provide services to help job seekers in their job search refuse to offer a guarantee. They do so for several reasons; but the main reason is that the number of days in the guarantee sets a false expectation with the job seeker regarding how fast they should be able to get a job.

Just a Tool

Remember, the resume is just a tool. If a writer prepares a great resume for a job seeker, who then simply posts it on one site and waits for something to happen, how does this gauge the resume’s quality? It really doesn’t! With a guarantee, this particular job seeker will then be calling the resume writer after a few weeks to complain that they have not had any activity, they are disappointed, and that they want the resume revised.

If this job seeker sounds like you, watch out! You may very well be asking the resume writer to make unnecessary changes to well-written document, all because you did not have the proper expectations going into the process.

Look, there is no hard-and-fast rule when preparing a resume. It really is more art than science. It really does depend on the type of position you are pursuing, the depth and breadth of experience you have, the quality of accomplishments, and many other facets. Therefore, the results cannot be quantified into number of days = a certain amount of success.

Your focus instead should be on finding a quality writer and not on the cheap thrill. Did your writer capture your career progression and accomplishments well? Do you have a clear target? Can you back up everything stated on the resume?

If the answer is “yes,” then the resume, along with your top-notch job search strategy, should do what it is intended to do: secure you interviews.

For those of you who have come across my articles before, by now, you will see that I seem to have a mantra…”proper expectation…proper expectations…” That’s because so much comes down to that. Everyone thinks they have the answer, that they are the exception, that if they just buy this book or that system, but it all really comes down to common-sense principles leveraged with a keen understanding of your market, which all lead to, yep, you guessed it, proper expectations!

The Scope of This Project Exceeded Anything We Have Ever Done.

Our client was a high-end residential development in Southeast Texas. This master-planned community spanned nearly 2,000 acres and was home to a number of superb amenities which included a recreation center, a gymnasium, a game room, a resort pool with water slide, and most impressively, two World Class Polo Fields. The community planned to hold championship matches on one of these fields and decided to have a lighting system designed specifically for this purpose.

Many Unique Elements Distinguished This Endeavor.

This was a rather unique request for any lighting company to receive, considering that only two or three polo fields in the nation have lighting systems for nighttime matches. The client was aware that lighting a polo field essentially meant creating a unique and very rare facility, and they were more than willing to invest in this landmark facility in order to obtain the very best lighting design possible.

The project was ambitious, to say the least. The polo field spanned the area of nearly seven football fields. This already told us that a very high foot candle level would be necessary, and prior to even calculating the polo field lighting design, we knew that the poles we used would be laden with an exceptionally high number of lighting fixtures.

Lighting Design Software Enabled Us to Accommodate the Satisfy the Unique Parameters of This Project.

The client provided us with a CAD file which enabled us to calculate foot candle levels and determine exactly how many fixtures we were going to need. The results called for an exceptional configuration. First, we would need to create a luminance level of 50 foot candles over the entire field. Due to the massive area that we had to light, it would be necessary to place 48 fixtures on each lighting pole. This is far beyond industry standard configurations, and presented a formidable challenge to overcome. The wind loading of 48 fixtures on each pole is very great, and special care was needed when selecting the proper poles. Since this region of Texas lies near enough to the Gulf to experience tropical storms and occasional hurricane force winds, the high number of fixtures per pole amounted to a literal “wind sail” effect which represented a very unstable configuration if standard steel poles were used.

Unique Lighting Poles Were the Key to the Success of the Whole Endeavor.

To overcome this, we designed the polo field lighting system with 100’ concrete poles. These were the tallest and most powerful structures available for the task, and the modeling scenarios we ran in our photometric software confirmed that in spite of the high number of fixtures, these poles would provide reliable support for the lights and be able to resist the intermittent high winds that strike Southeast Texas on occasions.

Installation was Performed by a Local Team of Sports Lighting Installation Experts

The actual fixtures and poles were installed by a partner organization whose primary specialty lies in the arena of sports and athletic field lighting installation.

Have you ever reached that point during a job search when you start to think that you must be missing out on something…that someone, somewhere, must have the answer for your troubles?

I mean, if you could just unlock the secret…find the holy grail…swallow the miracle pill, do the happy dance…whatever, the phone would start ringing, the offers would flow in, and you would have the career you have always dreamed of.

If you look hard enough (actually, I don’t think you even need to look that hard), you will definitely find someone willing to sell it to you…they have the answer, that secret two-page document that will make you excel at every job interview, that full-proof approach that has you bypassing the resume entirely, or that high-level coaching course that unlocks the mystery to attaining career magic.

As a career coach, I always love these offers because I, too, would like to know what the right formula is so that I could bottle it and pass it along to all the job seekers who ask me, “Why is this so frustrating? Why is it taking so long?” I would give anything just to say, “Here, swallow this miracle job hunting pill, and it will all be over.”

When you take a good look at many of these approaches, what you often find is that they come back to the same old advice just repackaged with a shiny new bow.

The secret two-page job interview secret is that you should show up knowing as much about the company as possible and wow the hiring manager with your ability to talk the company’s language and step right into the position.

The full-proof, resume-free approach is really just another take on networking. If you network well, you may not even need a resume, “they” say. Just hand out a bio or something.

The high-level coaching course is nothing more than instruction on how to navigate your job search (and your career) through a sales life cycle.

So at the end of the day are these services offering bad advice? Not necessarily. In all of them is an element of truth. Even more importantly, however, none of their concepts are all that new!

Remembering that a job interview is more about fitting in and looking the part than about answering all the questions correctly is good advice. Using networking as the backbone of your job search is also good advice (although I contend that at some point someone is going to want to see a resume, not just a bio). And taking a sales perspective to your job search and career is good advice too.

But, again, these are not new ideas, and they certainly are not the answer to all your prayers.

What job seekers really need is to keep their feet on the ground, apply common-sense principles, and establish the proper expectations. To help them accomplish that, they should really invest in job search coaching services.

Why? Because unless you are on a perpetual job search (meaning that searching for a job is what you do for a living), you do not stay up-to-date on the latest opportunities, techniques, and job market trends. Your job search strategy from 2, 5, and definitely 10 years ago is not the job search strategy you should be applying today.

Furthermore, frankly, a job search is an emotional process, no matter what the reason. You are putting a product out there on the market to sell, and that product is “you”. There is no way you can look at yourself objectively. And I hate to tell you this, but your colleagues, significant other, friends, family, and so on, they don’t look at you objectively either.

So you need someone who can give it to you straight.

The recruiter can’t, because he or she is just trying to fill certain positions to make a commission. The recruiter can only evaluate you in light of those positions. And the resume writer’s focus is really on the resume and how it matches up with the competition.

That’s where the job search coach comes in. That’s the person you need when the going gets rough and you get stuck.

Why isn’t the phone ringing? How do you decide between two different offers? What’s the best way to bring up that sensitive topic to your new potential employer? How do you weigh the advice the recruiter is giving you?

A wise person seeks wise counsel. He or she doesn’t try to find it in a miracle pill or top secret document. So don’t be fooled by the shiny new bow. Invest those valuable resources where it can help you the most!

A Large, Homogeneous Group of Exposure Units

To facilitate the prediction of the probable loss through use of the law of large numbers, it is essential that there be a large number of similar units exposed to the same peril. If a company can insure only ten houses against damage by fire, very little prediction is possible. As noted in the discussion of the degree of risk, the larger the number of units involved, the less deviation there will be in the actual experience.

It is absolutely essential that there be a large group of exposure units. Not only is a large group of units necessary, but the units must be similar. In fire insurance, there must be a large number of similar properties. It is not possible to predict losses if the subjects for insurance present a hodgepodge of structures of various constructions, usages, and values. In life insurance, there must be a large number of persons in each age, health, and occupational classification.

Definite Loss

The loss must be difficult to counterfeit. Death, perhaps, comes closest to perfection in meeting this requisite. Death is so difficult to feign that few insureds will attempt it which is a big reason why so many different types of life insurance (http://www.equote.com/li/term-life-insurance-quote.html) are available. Only in cases in which the insured has disappeared can there be a suspicion of something other than death. In sickness insurance, however, it is sometimes difficult to tell if a loss has occurred. During the depression, it was found that sickness claims greatly increased.

Persons who could not find jobs either worried themselves sick or else, in order to collect benefits, decided to say they were indisposed. Inability to distinguish between real and fraudulent claims was in part responsible for the receivership of several insurance companies which wrote extensive amounts of disability insurance during the 1920’s and the 1930’s.

Disability insurance contracts today are much less liberal on the average than they were thirty years ago because of the adverse experience the companies had in those trying days. Companies are more careful both as to the kinds of disability contracts they will write and as to the people for whom they will be written.

Accidental Loss

The loss must not only be definite, but it must have been accidental, as distinguished from expected. Ideally, the loss should be beyond the control of the insured. Depreciation losses, for example, are uninsurable, since there is nothing accidental about their occurrence. Or if someone is killed in an unexpected accident at a younger age than expected, there are certain life insurance policies (http://www.equote.com/li/life-insurance.html) that compensate for that kind of tragedy.

These losses are expected. Also, when mercantile theft insurance is written, normal shoplifting losses are not covered. In credit insurance, normal credit losses are not covered; only the unexpected losses are insured. Death meets this requisite because, although death is certain, the time of death is uncertain.

Large Loss

The hazard to be insured against must be capable of producing a large loss which the insured could not pay without economic distress. Insurance against breakage of shoestrings is unknown. The loss involved is so small that it is not worth the time, effort, and expense to enter into an insurance contract to indemnify the loss. (And insureds would likely be furious at the company, since most shoestring breakage is due to wear and tear, which would not be covered by the policy.)

This example is a reductio ad absurdum, of course; but it illustrates the principle. There are, nevertheless, many coverages sold which insure small losses. Hospital policies which promise benefits of less than $150 although costing $15 a year are certainly in the small-loss class for many persons.

Automobile towing charges, with limits of $10 per disablement, seem to most insureds to involve such small losses as to make insurance inadvisable. It is uneconomic for a person to insure the small losses which he can very easily pay himself, for the cost of insurance includes not only the loss cost but also a rather substantial margin for expenses.

Are you working in a toxic company? - a company in which….

- Management, at least some in management, think their title is license to humiliate, to continually find fault with, to threaten, and generally to make life miserable for their staff. How can employees be expected to innovate and take risks, when they are treated as failures?

- There’s a “slip up and you’re out” mentality. How can you be expected to take on new responsibilities, to lead a project team, etc., when management is just waiting for you to make the job-ending mistake?

- The organizational culture is one of negativity, back-biting, getting ahead at the expense of others. How can you exhibit “team spirit” when it’s everyone for himself?

As a result, people come to work stressed, already expecting the boss to shout at them, or co-workers to sabotage their work or take credit for it. They feel powerless – being jerked around on the end of a chain. Each day is a repeat of the days before, and by the time the day is over, you are drained, discouraged, angry and demoralized.

If that describes your situation, you need a strategy to deal with it, so that it doesn’t do mental and physical harm to you. We know that stress causes all kinds of harm to your physical health. But it also poisons your mental attitude. And it’s your mental attitude which will ultimately determine your work and career success.

The first step to surviving a toxic company is to recognize a few facts:

1) There are many ways to react to your environment and people in it. You’ve probably adopted only one way – and it may or may not be working for you. Each day observe how others handle the toxic environment and see if their strategies might make sense for you.

2) There are people who can handle this toxicity and not let it bring them down, and who keep a positive attitude. Keep your eyes open for such people. Find ways to talk with them – about the company, about their work strategy, about your own work. Just being around these people can provide a source of positive energy you can benefit from.

3) Realize that when the boss is shouting (at you or others), that does not actually diminish you, but rather him. Say this over and over until you know it deep in your core: “The boss shouting is about him – not about me – no matter what I did or did not do.” When you master this, you’re making great progress toward health. (You may even find that the boss shouts less and less as a result.)

4) When you find yourself playing the same toxic game as the rest of the organization – whether it is complaining about the boss with your colleagues, or about the company, first notice that. Second, at least add something positive, such as completing the following sentence; “What the company/boss really needs to do is ________.” Then, every once in awhile, select one of those things you think should be done, and do something about it – either doing it yourself or taking it to the boss as a suggestion. When you propose it, be sure to connect your suggestion to some performance goal your boss cares about.

5) When you feel powerless, recognize that the powerless feeling, though it seems to come from the culture and the “fact” that the boss hasall the power, actually comes from yourself. Your deeper self (some would say your “soul”) has perhaps put you in this position – not to punish you for some sin – but rather to discover and express your own power. Expression of that power may be as dramatic as becoming a whistle blower, but more likely it will be something like standing up when a lie is being told, and speaking the truth, or refusing to do something unethical (either to a co-worker or a customer). Knowing that the truth will really set you free, you will be amazed at the amount of power you truly have.

6) Next realize that your power is not merely a negative power – to stand in the way of toxic management or to speak out against an injustice. It is even more powerful as a positive force. When you stand for something, you expand your energy and power. It could be something as simple as suggesting a way to honor someone who has contributed to the company – or a customer - and then to carry it out. It can be to stand up for someone who is being berated, pointing out how that person has contributed to your work, etc. It may also help you discover your true calling.

7) Ultimately, you have the power to leave the work organization. Yet some believe that they are locked in – by all the benefits they have built up, or by the fear that they wouldn’t be able to find a decent job elsewhere. But rather than flee the situation, use your current situation as a way to build your knowledge – not just about the industry or your profession, but about what it takes to lead an organization to great performance. When/if you leave, make sure that (emotionally), you are not merely fleeing from your situation, but more importantly are moving toward something positive.

Lastly, know that there are great companies out there to work for – and this group of companies is growing. They come from the ranks of the largest companies and from smaller, privately-held companies. Look for them, and you will find them.

So, take this time while involved in a toxic company to build your own muscles of insight, of wisdom, of compassion, of inclusion, of freedom, of service – for you will have the opportunity to put these all to good use – either in helping transform your current company into a noble enterprise – or to go elsewhere and contribute to their success.

So you’ve decided that you will leave your current employer. Perhaps you’ve found it lacking in opportunity or in the way it treats you and other employees. Maybe you’ve learned as much as you can, and feel the need to move on. Now that you’ve got more experience under your belt, consider a more comprehensive checklist as you search for the perfect job in the perfect company.

Most people have a few requirements in mind – a good job, good pay and good benefits. But there’s a lot more to a good place to work than those basic qualities, and many people discover that the hard way.

Just as companies will scrutinize you as a candidate to help them succeed, you too need to scrutinize them as a good place to entrust yourself and your career to. So you will want to ask a lot of good questions. (What many job applicants don’t realize is that when they ask great questions about the company, they are actually selling themselves at the same time.)

Here’s a check list to consult as you consider possible next employers. Use it to determine which companies that you are considering have these qualities, because the company that scores the highest on this checklist will likely be the best place for you to invest your time and energy.

1) UNDERLYING STRENGTHS: In these troubling economic times, you want to make sure that you’re talking to a solid company – one that can weather the normal ups and downs. If it’s a public company, you can read the analyses. You can also look at its history. Has it weathered economic storms and competition before? How has it fared during those downturns? Did it just circle the wagons, or did it take creative steps to succeed, like shoring up customer loyalty and/or calling on employees to work with management to develop and implement new strategies?

2) An Inspiring PURPOSE: What’s the mission of this company? Do you resonate with it? Is it merely to maximize shareholder value, or is there more? Companies that have a strong sense of Larger Purpose can be exciting and meaningful places to work. When you ask people you’re interviewing why they came to the company or what gets them excited Monday mornings, listen carefully to see whether anyone speaks about the purpose of the company.

3) High VALUES: If you care about ethical behavior and want to be trusted, respected and honored, find out the answers to these questions: When all is said and done, what does this company stand for? What will they never do? What do they do when times are tough? Ask people what the company’s most important values are – and for examples of corporate decisions or stories that illustrate how they walk the talk regarding values.

4) A great CULTURE: Get a feel for what kinds of human behavior are encouraged and valued in the company. How do people treat each other? How does management treat employees – and customers for that matter? Ask people in what ways this company differs from others in terms of its culture. Get examples of this also.

5) GROWTH: Many companies espouse growth – corporate growth (of revenues and profits). But does this company also commit to fostering employee growth? Furthermore, when they talk about employee growth, is it just about the traditional development of knowledge and job skills, or is it also deeper – like personal growth and leadership development?

6) The PEOPLE: Unless you will be stuck in a back room doing a job with no people contact, you will find that the kinds of people that you will be working with day in and day out will become an important ingredient in your experience at the company. Take a look at every person you meet at the company – right from when you walk in the lobby. Are they the kinds of people you like to be with and work with? Are they friendly, positive people? Is there a strong sense of community in which people respect and genuinely like each other?

7) The LEADER(S): Is the CEO of this company an inspiring person? Ask those you interview. What about the managers you will be working for or with – what kind of people are they? Ask your potential boss what her management style is. Once again, for purposes of learning what they mean by terms like “employee involvement” etc., ask for an example or two. Also ask what her vision is for her department (or company). Is it one that you relate to – or just “company speak”? If you relate well to the boss and to her vision and goals, that’s a great leading positive indicator that this could be a great job for you.

You will want to do your own “due diligence” to verify that what you are hearing is accurate. Here are a few ways to do that:

- Do an Internet search on the company – and see what others are saying about the company.

- Ask if they regularly conduct an employee survey, and, if they do, ask what the results are – and how they use those surveys.

- Ask your potential boss why he joined the company – and why he is still there.

- Ask everyone you meet a) what they like best about the company and b) if they had one complaint what it would be. As they answer, not only listen to their words, but watch their energy. Do they get excited about what they like about the company, or is it just a rote answer? If the latter, that’s not a very strong recommendation for the company.

- If you get serious enough about the Company and they make you a job offer (and you have some doubts), you might ask to spend a half day floating around the department where you will be working just to get a better feel for what it will be like working there. When you’ve finished that time at your potential new office, not only recall what you observed, but see how you feel. Your emotions can be an accurate indicator of whether this is the place for you.

After you’ve used this check list, you’ll have a pretty good idea where each company you’re talking to ranks. Companies that score high on all these characteristics are Noble Enterprises. As such, they attract great people – like yourself – and turn them into a great team, inspiring them and drawing out their best for the benefit of the company and for the individuals involved. Even if it seems like a difficult search, know that there are great companies out there – of all sizes. When you find one, with this list, you’ll know it. Then you can give thanks and sign on!

If due to certain circumstances, you feel the need to file for an insurance claim, you must be aware that it can be a terrible time if by any chance your insurance company refused to pay up or if they only offered you with a fraction of the required amount. This can come as quite a blow to you and your career, but there are other ways that are open and effective at the same time.

You can choose to fight for your fair share and one of the best ways to do this would be to get the help of a claims management firm. Using the helpful services, provided by the claims company, many people have got their due money as well as the compensation. Even you can avail this service to get the money that is due.

Claims Management Companies offer claims management services to the common man. These services consist of advice and services which concern claims for repayment for loss, remedy for loss, restitution, compensation or due to some other obligations. There are numerous benefits of insurance claim management; all you need to do is find the right one that suits your needs.

A claims management company can guarantee that you get back everything that had been involved in the claim. If it is necessary, the company can deal with all the professionals on your behalf. The company takes all the necessary steps to ensure that you get all the money that is due.

Although, you may think that paying extra to make the insurance company pay up may not be worth it but let me tell you that your money will make its way back to you in less time and without much effort on your part.

Here below are the benefits of taking help from a claims management company:

•In many cases, the company can perform certain calculations that can give you a proper idea as to when you can expect to receive the money and within what time span. Such expert advice from dedicated professionals can help you get a good night’s sleep.

•One major benefit is that the company takes over the negotiation on your behalf and offers with all the necessary and required legal advice you may need. Whether it is the calculations of your claim or the various problems which may rise when you are taking on the employee compensation issues, you need to make your decisions very wisely and this is where your claims management service steps in to make wise and calculated decisions for you.

•Another benefit with claims management is that their presence makes the insurance company aware about you being serious about the money. Insurance companies pay only what they think you are going to accept, therefore it is wise to take help of a claims management company to get the attention you need and deserve.

It can be really difficult to get your money and compensation from the insurance agency, in order to avoid such hassles, make sure to enlist the proper help as soon as you feel the need to. To find the best company, take a look at the features offered by various claims management companies to find out which offers the best services and advice.

There is something that just about everyone loves. It’s something that everyone has worn at one time or another, usually when the sun is especially bright or when they are laying on the beach somewhere. It’s something that companies are using more and more in their advertising. They are using this item because they know that it’s something that people are going to use, and when they use it they are going to advertise their company. This item is sunglasses, and they are something that companies have found to be a great promotional item.

But there are some mistakes that companies make when it comes to using branded Sunglasses. Here are the mistakes that companies have made so when they are using branded Sunglasses to promote their business that you can avoid making them.

Buying just one type

One of the biggest mistakes that companies make when it comes to branded Sunglasses is that they buy just one type of branded Sunglasses. They don’t take into consideration that they may be giving the Sunglasses to people who may not like the style or who may not be able to wear that type of branded Sunglasses. Companies should buy different types of branded Sunglasses so that they are going to have Sunglasses that fit anyone.

Buying the cheapest

Another mistake that companies make when they are buying branded Sunglasses is that they buy the cheapest branded Sunglasses that they can find. But what happens when you buy the cheapest of anything? A lot of times those items are the ones that are more likely to break and and aren’t going to last as long. The cheapest isn’t always the best. In fact, companies are finding that they have better results with branded Sunglasses if they choose better quality branded Sunglasses.

Buying the same for everyone

A third mistake that people make when they are ordering branded Sunglasses is that they don’t buy the nicer branded Sunglasses that they are giving to employees or clients. It’s important to remember that employees and clients are different than the people that you are going to meet at trade shows and conventions. They are people who deserve recognition and appreciation for what they have done for the company and they deserve better quality branded Sunglasses.

Buying all one colour

The last mistake that people make when they are ordering branded Sunglasses is that they are ordering all one colour of sunglasses. One of the things that a company should do is they should order different colours of sunglasses so that people have a choice instead of being forced to choose whatever colour the company has chosen.

Branded Sunglasses are a great promotional item and companies have had some good results with them, but there are also people that have made mistakes that have made the branded Sunglasses that they chose not as effective. When companies avoid the mistakes, they are going to find that branded Sunglasses are one of the promotional items that they can use.

With the way that the ozone layer is, a lot of people are becoming more conscious about the way that they treat their skin. They try to stay out of the sun and when they are outside they use protection. Skin cancer is something that is avoidable if people take care of themselves and don’t expose their skin to a lot of sun.

Because of the breaking down of the ozone layer, a lot of companies are starting to offer promotional sun protection to show that they want to protect their employees, clients and customers from the horrible affects of sun damage and skin cancer. If your company is thinking of using promotional sun protection to promote your business, here are some suggestions.

Don’t just distribute it in summer

One of the first things that people think about when they hear the words sun protection is the summertime, but summer isn’t the only time that a person can get a sunburn. It’s true that more of the skin is exposed during the summer, but you can also get a very nasty sunburn when you are skiing in the winter time. So have your company distribute your promotional sun protection during the winter as well as summer, right before the ski season starts.

Give it as part of a promotional package

Instead of just giving them promotional sun protection, why not give them other promotional items as well? This is especially a good idea if you are giving the promotional sun protection to a client or an employee.

For example, if you are giving them the promotional sun protection in the winter time, you can give it to them as part of a ski package – include the promotional sun protection

in a package that has a ski hat and a ski pass holder.

If you are giving them the promotional sun protection as a part of something for the summertime, you can give them the promotional sun protection along with sunglasses, sandals and a beach ball.

Don’t forget the lips

Another thing that people do when they are distributing promotional sun protection is that they simply give people the sun protection that is going to be used for their body. But lips are another part of the body that can get sunburned, so give them promotional sun protection for both their body and for their lips.

Get a variety

The last thing that a company should do when they are buying promotional sun protection is that they should get a variety of different types of promotional sun protection. Get different strengths and make sure that you have something that is going to work for everyone that may use it.

Offering people promotional sun protection is a great idea, no matter what time of year it is. Promotional sun protection is something that can be given to people by itself or as part of a package. But no matter how you give it to people, it’s going to show that both you and the company care.
