Job Career Networking in the Employment Fields
Thursday, October 23rd, 2008
Imagine the or a scenario such as this occurrence - suppose that you have never heard of the type or kind of job that you really would like to find. Then one morning you wake up and found out that you won the Lotto Canada jackpot. You go to that moron boss kirk and tell him “shove off …. get lost”.
This would now mean that if you wanted to work - even for fun that you could well pick and choose - both with your time and the job or career of your dreams. No pressure no urgency.
In the same way networking is like that. Keep at , put in time at your present place of employment while you have others find your dream job for you so to speak. Networking for a new job or career is like that. It is basic management skills on the job site - to have others do your job for you gladly and with enjoyment. Management 101.

UncategorizedOpen a Restaurant in Today’s Business Climate ?
Wednesday, October 8th, 2008
The market is always there - there is always a hungry mouth to feed or is willing to pay for a meal. Still running a restaurant is hard work as well as lots of hours. It seems now that it is even tougher and harder as restaurateurs are feeling the pinch in their pocketbooks as a slowing economy and rising costs have bit in. Food prices for ingredients are way up - that is no secret to anyone who has recently shopped at any supermarket. Yet many restaurant customers resist price increases regarding any price hikes as unwarranted and unjustified. I paid this amount last year, it should not be any different or more. The other option is to reduce portions or levels or service. However in the long run or even the shorter run this could be downright disastrous for any restaurant. Once a reputation in the food service, or basically any business, it is next to impossible to restore.
The option for others is to open a franchise. By opening a franchise you are basically buying a reputation as well as proven system for running the shop , training and hiring staff. It can be argued that it better to have someone work out the bugs - do the homework and be able to purchase supplies in bulk. Yet you are stuck with some else’s ideas of how to run your own business and with what. More chance or surviving but will you ever prosper or in essence bought yourself a job with your hard earned capital.
Apprenticeships to Expand Your Career Path
Wednesday, October 8th, 2008
What is an apprenticeship ? Apprenticeship is a form of post secondary education , so to speak , like university or college - but in the real world. It can even be said that in some areas of the world - like Britain or the U.K. , training that would be in advanced university training is there done to a great degree , under the specific eyes of a trained practitioner in this case another M.D. or in the U.K. called a M.B. .
The advantage is that while you have to save ahead of time to go to university or college and as well work along the way - in an apprenticeship program you are paid as well for the work that you are doing - which softens the blow to a great degree.

Alcohol and Work
Thursday, October 2nd, 2008
Alcohol and work. Boozers are losers.
In carefully conducted surveys and reports on the attitudes of both working men and women towards women drinking Bill Piker reported , along with Shaun Stevens the most liberal attitude was that women should only drink white wine at most. A number in the range of thirty five ( 35 %) reported that it was their feeling and feelings that women should “not” or “never “ drink. But women who do not drink but make it more than obvious that they object to other people drinking drew similar responses and negative reactions.
Rules of the Office for Women
Thursday, October 2nd, 2008
There are all sorts of pitfalls a women should avoid at all costs in business and at the “office”
Here are some general guidelines-
- first do not have your office painted in any color or colour scheme but a standard run of the mill office color. Resist the temptation to be “cute” or trendy. Conservative and staid is the best choice overall to present “stability” or the image of tried and true. Blue and beige are the most basic and widely used.
- do not have a flower on your desk. It is the badge of a secretary
- It is a good idea to keep an extra set of clothes in your office. However keep them out of site. It is as if you are broadcasting that you may spill something on yourself at any moment. Not unlike an over controlling poor manager of a business who not only had closed circuit tv camera monitors proudly displayed in the front of his employment agency , webcams pointed at visitors with signs demanding “announce yourself” and an exercise bicycle in full view in his office area - as if he had to offload great stress at each moment and was on the verge of a final nervous collapse. What a relief that would of been to his workers from all the control efforts.
- Lastly although men display pictures of their wives , their dogs and even their hunting buddies it is not a wise idea for a women to have her husband’s pictures on her desk. However pictures of kids , grand kids and even pets seem to get a good response.

Work Acroutriments
Thursday, October 2nd, 2008
In terms of carry on luggage for a women looking for employment there is only one type of luggage any women in America, Canada or Mexico should carry. It is a matched set of canvas luggage with belting leather strapping.
If a women carries belted leather luggage , which is the standard luggage of the male executive she comes on as an imitation male. Sort of like a woman’s male suit of clothes. A poor imitation at best. Be yourself in action. Not a flower copy.
However if a women carries pink, yellow or other gaily colored bags that announce to the world and business world at that that she is at best “frilly”, she also will not get the best treatment. Those tags tell bellboys that she is a non-tipping secretary on “vacation”.
The luggage that seems to test best overall appears to be good canvas with belted leather strapping. This choice gets salutes from male executives and service from bellboys and bellhops. Louis Vuitton luggage tests better than other brands and types. Close imitations without designer initials tested well as well. As well they are significantly lower priced - very reasonably priced at that.
One useful tip is to use a business card holder that functions as well as a luggage tag. Often hotels will hand them out to regular business travels as a spiff. These cards and tags indentify you as such as a “business traveller”, a regular who should be afforded better levels of service.
