The Power of Approachability
Alright. Something weird is going on here.In the past few weeks, I’ve had three different people make almost the exact same comment to me.First it happened in Salt Lake City. I was recovering from a multi-speech day, resting in my hotel room, watching Anchorman. I checked the voicemail on my cell. It was from a strange guy named Mike. His message explained that he’d read my first book and would love to chat sometime.Cool, I thought. And since I’d already see

Invest some time in evaluating the skills and type of person you want for a position before placing a job advertisement or registering a job vacancy with an employment agency.

The job specification (spec) is a tailored description of the vacancy including the responsibilities of the incumbent and goals of the job. The person specification is a profile of the person you consider best fits the bill. Preparing a detailed spec helps you focus on exactly what skills you seek. The finished document assists your HR or personnel department or recruitment consultant in identifying candidates for you to interview. It's also a great exercise in re-evaluating your departmental needs; therefore, giving you the opportunity to juggle around responsibilities within your team if necessary.

Job and person specs also help job-seekers. They provide a better grasp of the job being advertised and help attract those who might not otherwise apply. The specs also narrow the field by hopefully excluding those who don't fit the bill or who don't like the sound of the job. Many employers make the mistake of advertising a vague-sounding job with the intention of seeing 'who turns up'. This often leads to lost time spent sifting through irrelevant applications or interviewing candidates who, when confronted with the reality of the position, discover the role is not for them after all.

The specifications you prepare will help you evaluate CV's faster and more ruthlessly as well as providing a list of appropriate questions for the interview.

Plan To Succeed In Your Business
We’ve all heard the saying: If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. But I like to think of it another way. Ask yourself, “am I planning to succeed?”In business, it’s important to follow a plan. It’s important to have a plan for your year, each week, and each day. Otherwise, you’re being reactive in your business instead of being proactive. When you’re proactive, you control your business – it doesn’t control you.Here are three easy-to-follow tips to creating and following a suc

Pay Per Click - What It Is And What It Is Not
PPC has emerged as one of the most effective ways to attain the highest search engine rankings. The concept is simple: Advertisers pay, or bid, for the placement of each keyword or search phrase. PPC advertisements are often listed above typical free search results and are entitled as “Sponsored Sites”.The cost of PPC depends on the product or service being offered.

Be specific

Being specific about your exact needs will help applicants understand what the position entails and enable them to show how they fulfil your expectations. This approach should prevent the problems that can arise once the successful applicant has actually started work. Vague (or non-existent) descriptions can even result in an employee leaving prematurely because they have found that the job has not met their expectations. On the other hand, you could end up continually frustrated due to mistakes that have been made in the job because the employee has not known the job requirements. Essentially, a job or person spec is a vital document that assists you, your department, your HR or personnel officer and your job applicants.
