Member You - Consulting: A Different World
Well its now 29/03/07 and still waiting for my first contract in the CP industry, IV been doing odd jobs here & there working with several companies doing door & VIP security.Sometimes things take that little bit longer than expected, although I have been approached about covering the VIP area of the reading rock festival in august, which is a good sign.This is a prime example of the quiet before the storm, and as such will keep on truck-in along as the summer 2007 is not yet here.Should start to get some calls around April /May time, that's when the panic sets in with companies trying to do too much with not enough staff, surprise, surprise?If you think the going is tough then remember the saying, the tough get going, don't give up.That’s exactly why I won’t be giving up; it’s still the early part of 2007 and there’s shed loads of work to be had, all we have to do is stick to it.I have been networking to the best of my ability; I suppose I could do better but still trying hard.Have been approached

However, there were no such things called free classified ads then.Free or paid, you are spending your time with classified ads and you need results from paid or free classified ads. Even in case you are getting an opportunity to list your product for free, you still need to test the effectiveness of the free offline or online classified ads.The techniques that advertisers employed to test the success rate of an ad were quite simple. To test the effectiveness of the words used or to test which paper give maximum mileage to the ad, advertisers use specific telephone numbers or post box numbers.By noticing which extension phone ringed the most and which post boxes filled up, they could measure the effectiveness of the ad. For each specific ad, they used to give a telephone number with a certain extension number. The extension number is their code for

Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) or FMECA is an analysis technique which facilitates the identification of potential problems in a design or process by examining the effects of lower level failures. Recommended actions or compensating provisions are made to reduce the likelihood of the problem occurring, and mitigate the risk, if in fact, it does occur.The FMEA team determines, by failure mode analysis, the effect of each failure and identifies single failure points that are critical. It may also rank each failure according to the criticality of a failure effect and its probability of occurring. FMECA is the result of two steps: 1) Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), and 2) Criticality Analysis (CA). Or in other words, FMECA is just FMEA with Criticality Analysis.There are many different types of FMEA. There are Conceptual or Functional FMEAs, Design FMEAs, and Process FMEAs. Sometimes during a Design FMEA the analysis will look at a combination of functions and hardware. Sometimes it will include just hardware, and soto the profession. We will first dispel the myths and address the realities associated with being a Consultant, then we will address the commandments of being a good and valued consultant.
