The Pressure of North Korea !

Author: bbc.co.uk (By: Paul Reynolds)

Job Indonesia - Military action is out - it carries with it the risk that the North would retaliate and might even launch action of its own. - Lowongan Kerja
North Korea has a million-strong army, 18,000 artillery pieces and possibly useable nuclear weapons. -  Job Vacancy
Sanctions have limited impact on the North. It is already ignoring UN sanctions restricting trade in military equipment and luxury goods.
It manages to keep going with Chinese help and that is unlikely to be withdrawn.
It might be that the South is left to make a lot of diplomatic noise, with American echoes.
In the end it might have to accept that the lesser of two evils is to make its factual case, protest, gain international support, limit its own dealings with North Korea and then continue to build up its forces for the future.
The China dimension The sinking of the Cheonan is not the first incident along the line of the disputed maritime boundary off the west coast.

NORTH KOREAN ATTACKS

• Jan 1967 - attacks South Korean warship near border, killing 39 sailors
• Jan 1968 - commandos storm presidential palace in Seoul in a failed attempt to kill President Park Chung-hee
• Jan 1968 - captures USS Pueblo - one crew member dies and 82 held hostage for 11 months
• Dec 1969 - hijacks South Korean airliner taking dozens of passengers hostage
• Oct 1983 - bombs hotel in Rangoon, Burma in failed attempt to kill South Korean President Chun Doo-hwan - 21 people die
• Nov 1987 - bombs South Korean airliner, killing 115
• Sept 1996 - sub carrying 26 troops disabled off South - some land in South sparking deadly manhunt
• Mar 2010 - torpedoes Cheonan warship, 46 sailors killed

• How the ship was sunk

None has led to outright war and there is therefore reason to think that this time as well, the South will have to live with the loss, unless it wants to risk a major conflict.

The investigation's findings have thrown the issue into the lap of US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who happens to be arriving in Beijing this weekend with a huge American delegation to discuss the wider relationship between the US and China.
It is possible that the US, pressed by South Korea, will favour a Security Council meeting and, if such a meeting is to have any traction, China's support will be needed.
And beyond that, if new sanctions are to be imposed, China will have to support them as well, being a veto-holding member of the Council.
Yet China usually prefers to deal with North Korea on a more discreet basis (it recently welcomed North Korea's leader Kim Jong-il to Beijing) and was slow even to express sympathy for the loss of South Korean sailors.
It only comes out against the North if Pyongyang does something with wide international ramifications, notably its nuclear testing.
Suspended talks The US might, at this moment, be more concerned to keep Chinese support for sanctions against Iran - agreed by the major Security Council powers this week - than to use its diplomatic credit up in seeking further sanctions on North Korea.

Co-head of investigation team, Yoon Duk-yong: "Both sections at the failure point were bent upward"

The prospects for settling the disputed maritime border are about as distant as the prospects for getting North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons capability. Talks about the latter are currently in suspension.
North and South Korea did nearly come to a maritime modus vivendi in 2007 in talks involving the then South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun. 

The idea was to concentrate on fishing - and fishing is a major North Korean concern in the disputed waters as its fishermen seek the south-migrating blue-crab from June to September.

But it came to nothing and the North clearly remains ready and willing to defend its interests there, with the South determined to uphold its position as well.
Some international experts think that what is known as the Northern Limit Line, drawn by the UN after the Korean war, should be moved in North Korea's favour, since the old international three-mile maritime limit has made way for 12.
But given the overall state of relations between North and South, there are no realistic hopes of an agreement.
There may well be further incidents ahead.

South Korea Names New Defence Minister !

Author: bbc.co.uk

Lowongan Kerja - Earlier reports said a security aide would succeed Mr Kim, who resigned after North Korea surprised Seoul by shelling a Southern island. Tuesday's barrage killed four people and sent regional tensions soaring.
The office of South Korean President Lee Myung-bak said several candidates were undergoing rigorous checks, denying local reports of a decision. - Job Vacancy
Job Indonesia - On Friday, Pyongyang said joint US-South Korean naval exercises planned for next week would take the region "to the brink of war".
The North's state news agency, KCNA, said the exercises were "reckless" and the "trigger-happy" allies were deliberately targeting the North.
The North Korean artillery shelling - which killed two South Korean civilians and two marines - was one of the worst incidents between the two Koreas since the end of the Korean war in 1953, which concluded without a peace treaty.
'Reckless provocation' President Lee Myung-Bak accepted Mr Kim's resignation "to improve the atmosphere in the military and to handle the series of incidents," a presidential official said.
Earlier on Friday local news agencies reported that Lee Hee-Won, 61, had been named as new defence minister. Mr Lee is a former four-star general who became deputy chief of the US-South Korea Joint Forces Command in 2005.
He retired from the military in 2006 and was made a presidential security advisor in May following the sinking of the Cheonan, a South Korean warship.
In response to Tuesday's incident South Korea has increased troop numbers on the island, Yeonpyeong, and has said it is changing its rules of engagement to allow it to respond more forcefully to similar incidents. The old rules have been criticised as too passive.

Mr Kim quit after being criticised for his handling of an artillery attack by North Korea

Whoever is appointed will now have the opportunity to overhaul the country's security apparatus, says the BBC's Chris Hogg in the South Korean capital, Seoul.
The cabinet had decided that under the old rules of engagement there was too much emphasis on preventing a military incident escalating into something worse, our correspondent adds.
In future, the South would implement different levels of response depending on whether the North attacked military or civilian targets, a presidential spokesman said.
The US aircraft carrier group led by the USS George Washington is meanwhile on its way to participate in exercises with the South Korean navy - a move arranged before the incident with the North.
North Korea has warned it will "wage second and even third rounds of attacks without any hesitation if warmongers in South Korea make reckless military provocations again".

The Secret of Donald Trump Success !!!

By Charles Miller Producer, Donald Trump: All-American Billionaire 

Job Indonesia - Donald Trump was in Scotland recently, collecting an honorary doctorate from a university in Aberdeen. In the press conference afterwards, he said he was thinking about running for President in 2012. -  Job Vacancy
'Trump considers White House bid' produced more coverage than his honorary doctorate. Whether or not he runs, Trump knew the media would take the bait. They always do. - Lowongan Kerja
In 1999, he said the same thing and generated the same kind of attention. And that was just a rerun of 1987, when rumours were also flying about Trump running for President. The following year, George Bush senior was elected - without Trump on the ticket.
Through the many ups and downs of a long business career, one of Trump's key assets has been his relationship with a media that never tires of his name.
The Big Apple

A man and his town: Donald Trump in Manhattan

He has had two bites at the Big Apple. In the first, he was a blonde, twenty-something tycoon from Brooklyn who developed huge, shiny buildings like Trump Tower on New York's Fifth Avenue. He and his wife Ivana became fixtures on the New York celebrity circuit.
But as the eighties drew to a close, Trump was battling for his business life, at what can now be seen as the end of the first part of his glittering career. Recession hit Trump's many projects and forced him into a spectacular near-bankruptcy. Around the same time, his marriage ended in divorce.
But Trump survived - to breathe life back into his business, and find domestic happiness again too.
The Trump franchise Today, he is a celebrity with global, rather than national, recognition. But in some ways, not much has changed.
He still lives in his Trump Tower triplex, he's still got a model wife - his third, Melania Knauss -, and he insists he's still got his own hair, whose curious architecture is now a key part of the image.
He's back at the top of his game, but this time round, it's a bigger game than in the eighties.

Trump: 'I like Alan very much'

There are 21 Trump buildings in New York, and more around the country and the world. There are 10 Trump golf courses, and another one in Scotland under construction - against some publicity-generating opposition, which he freely admits has helped raise its profile.
He has his very own beauty pageant business, Miss Universe. And he co-owns a huge global TV franchise, and stars in the original US-version of The Apprentice. (Lord Alan Sugar is Britain's version of Trump.)
Trumpeting Trump The key to Trump's business and media longevity, in both phases of his career, has been his ability to monetise his name.

“Start Quote

Trump's career was never just about money... fame was the real goal.”

End Quote Ned Eichler former business partner

Putting "Trump" in large gold letters on Trump Tower may have started as an ego-trip, but it quickly turned into a smart business move. Today he estimates the brand centred on his name as being worth $3bn - about half the $6bn he says he's worth.

Others dispute the figures: the authoritative Forbes Rich List, with which he regularly disagrees, has him down for 'only' $2bn to $3bn.
Whatever the number, nobody disputes that the name Donald J. Trump, on a residential building, a hotel, or even a silk tie, gives it a value it wouldn't have if it was branded Donald J. Bloggs.
Ned Eichler, a businessman who dealt with Trump in the early days, recognised Trump's priorities right from his first project. Trump's career, recalls Eichler, was never just about money: "money was just part of the fame, but fame was the real goal."
Too big to fail

Donald and Ivana Trump, here with Bob Hope, were part of New York High Society

Trump turned fame into money by writing an early autobiography and self-help book, The Art of the Deal, a couple of years before his financial crisis. He plugged it relentlessly, even turning up on the Wogan show with his wife Ivana. The book was a huge best-seller, adding to the name-recognition he had already created.
In his late eighties crisis, when a slew of Trump businesses were struggling to keep up interest payments on massive loans, his creditors had to decide whether to pull the plug on his empire. That they decided not to, says his biographer Gwenda Blair, was thanks to his name recognition:
"He was one of the first to get, that getting his name on things, getting his name associated with luxury, and making himself the central character, would make him the irreplaceable piece."
He was, in a phrase the recent global financial crisis has made familiar again, "too big to fail".
New caution Trump has his own account of how he scraped through that crisis, saying "it turned out that the banks liked me a lot". But he admits he 'took his eye off the ball' in the late eighties, over-expanding and believing his own hype.

Mark Burnett: 'Donald is not the kind of enemy you would want'

Who wouldn't when, as he remembers, his own father told him that "everything you touch turns to gold?"
Twenty years on, he's more cautious, saying he calculates what might go wrong before committing himself to a deal.
One sign of this new caution is what he calls the "branding deals" he negotiates with the developers of some of the latest Trump buildings.
They use his name on the building, along with his contacts and marketing expertise, and give him a share of the upside. If the project goes wrong, Trump's financial exposure is limited.
Family business At the same time, with the help of three of his children, Don Jnr, Ivanka and Eric, who now work as Trump executives, he's taken his business in new directions to exploit the brand he's created.
So alongside new luxury apartment blocks like New York's Trump World Tower, the tallest residential building in the city, there are the golf clubs and overseas resorts, such as those in Hawaii and (to come) Panama.

And there are Trump managed hotels, like the huge gold building in Las Vegas, where the Trump brand, once the preserve of the super-rich, is open to anyone who wants to stay a night in a reasonably priced room.
The familiar business journey from upmarket to profitable mass market works for Trump as well as for other brands.
At 64, Donald Trump is still firing on all cylinders. In years to come, it will be up to his children to maintain the right kind of media profile, so that the company can keep charging a premium for the name Mr Trump has worked so hard to associate with success.

Iranian Man Charged in Nigeria Over Arms Shipment !!!

Author: bbc.co.uk

Azim Aghajani appeared in court in Abuja, but did not enter a plea.
Court documents reportedly identified him as a Tehran businessman, and also a member of Iran's Revolutionary Guards.
Three Nigerians have also been charged in connection with the shipment, which included rockets and grenades hidden between building materials.
The court said Mr Aghajani had been charged with attempting to import prohibited arms into Nigeria and conspiring to send the illegal shipment to Gambia.
The Iranian said he needed his embassy to represent him before he could present his plea.
Two of the three Nigerian defendants were only charged with conspiring to re-export the shipment to Gambia.

This is a matter of great national importance, and if I may add, it has international implications”

End Quote Matthew Idakwo Prosecutor

All four men are reported to be in custody in the Nigerian capital.

"This is a matter of great national importance, and if I may add, it has international implications," said prosecutor Matthew Idakwo. "These arms were imported from Iran to our country. It is of great interest to the world."
The BBC's Fidelis Mbah in Port Harcourt, who has been following the case, says Mr Aghajani's court appearance came as a surprise.
People were not aware that Mr Aghajani was going to be charged in court, as the Iranian government had been reaching out to their Nigerian counterparts to find ways of resolving this issue, our correspondent says.
The arms were discovered at Apapa seaport in Lagos in October. They were hidden in 13 containers shipped from Iran, which were labelled as building supplies.
Mr Aghajani is believed to be the man who was questioned inside the Iranian embassy in Nigeria several weeks ago in relation to the shipment.

The arms cache included rockets, rocket launchers, grenades and ammunition

There were reports that the Nigerian authorities wanted to question a second Iranian national, but that he had since left the country.
Iran has said the weapons were the subject of a "misunderstanding" that has now been cleared up.
Nigeria reported the seizure of the shipment to the UN Security Council for an apparent breach of the sanctions against Iran.
Another illegal shipment of weapons was discovered in Lagos on Wednesday, increasing fears among some Nigerians of possible violence ahead of next year's elections.

How To Stick To The Budget

Author: George Battles

Job Vacancy - Being assigned to do the grocery is nerve-wracking. It is not easy. Sure it is easy to pick up the foods you want but it is hard if you are on a budget. You will need a grocery list organizer to help you out. It will keep you informed as to what items you still have in your kitchen and your home. - Indonesia Job

Sticking to the budget is hard especially if the given budget is not as big as you expect it to be. Times like this, you need to cut back on your spending. That is why you need to have a budget. If you are unaware as to how much you'll spend, you'll end up spending too much. Stick to a limit and be sure your budget is reasonable. Try to come up with a limit that is enough to buy foods to sustain you for 2 weeks.

A good money saver tip is to cut back on your meat consumption. Meat is priced a bit higher compared to vegetables. Try to make some dishes wherein meat is not the main ingredient. You could cook something Italian with less or no meat at all. Vegetables are good alternatives for meat. There's also gluten if you want.
Sale items are good deals. If you have some coupons, you can use it and you can even have discounts. If the item is on sale, you might want to buy in bulks. Only buy in bulks if you usually use it. Buy a dozen of the sale item. Also, you might want to do the grocery when your kids are in school. If you bring your kids along in the store, they will pester you until they get the junks that they want. They'll also pick up the foods which they want to eat at home. - Lowongan Kerja

Household Budgeting With a Scalpel

Author: Judy Juricek

Indonesia Job - Long before the current downturn in the economy, I was a frugal person who enjoyed doing household budgeting. I used coupons, drove as little as possible to save money on gas (even when gas was inexpensive), and took my lunch to work. Even being a frugal person, I found myself buying a lot more stuff than I needed, though. When I looked around our house which is large for two people, I saw a lot of things that were simply collecting dust that we didn't use. At that moment, I realized that my husband and I could do a lot better at saving money. After this realization, we got to work using a scalpel to carve out more savings and less spending and this is what we did to save on our monthly budget. - Job Vacancy.

First, we wrote down every bill that we had for the month and asked ourselves if we really needed to spend money on this item or service. We also spent time that month writing down every small purchase that we made in a notebook to chart just how much money was being spent in small increments for items like coffee, newspapers, or lunch. We reviewed the list and found lots of items or services that we could live without.

Cable television - We decided that we didn't watch enough television to justify spending $75 per month for cable television. Instead, we use an inexpensive service that delivers videos via the mail service two or three at a time. We get our news and weather from the internet and received most of the series that we liked on CD.

Cell phone - We were paying approximately $90 for 700 minutes from a well known cell phone service provider. I found a much lower cost and better plan provider from a pay-as-you-go service that uses a network from a large, well-known provider. We now have unlimited minutes and internet access for $15 less per month. We are saving money, getting more services, and we aren't locked into a contract.

Carpooling - My husband and I worked fifteen minutes away from each other. We bit the bullet and decided that the extra 30 minutes of commute time per day was worth it to save money on gas and car maintenance. An added benefit was having someone to converse with on the trip instead of simply listening to the radio.
Eating out at restaurants - We used to eat in a restaurant where the bill averaged between $25 and $40 once or twice a week. While we enjoyed this practice, we realized that we were spending an extra $1800 per year (average $35 x 2 x 52). We limited ourselves to eating out once per month which did save a lot and reduced our waistlines as well.

Buying in bulk - Being a frugal person, I was never very good at buying in bulk because I simply didn't want to spend that much money on groceries (which is probably why we spent so much money eating out!). I realized that I was costing us money by not stocking up on sale items that we really use. I bought a membership to a wholesale club and go once a month. While I spend a lot in one shop, I also save money because I am buying things usually on sale in large quantities. I also save time because I only have to go to the conventional grocery store for items that go out of date like bread, eggs, and salad. We also now
make a concerted effort to eat all of the food that I fix which also saves money and reduces the waste from our home.

Using coupons wisely - I was the worlds worst about using a coupon to get something at a very low cost or free but that we would not use. So, I stopped doing that because I realized that I wasn't really saving money, I was just cluttering up the house.

Limited my shopping - For many years, I have been a thrift store shopper. This is a great way of buying great clothes at inexpensive prices for the entire family. It becomes a problem, though, when you buy a lot of clothes that you don't need. I found that I was going twice or three times per month to my favorite thrift store spending between $30 and $50. I realized that I while I enjoyed shopping; I really didn't NEED all of those clothes. I now limit myself to a thrift store trip once per month and my spending limit is $20. I have less clutter in my closet and we save money.

Revisit our Vacation - We used to take a pretty lavish vacation for ten days per year. We would fly somewhere, rent a car, and stay in a nice hotel (not extravagant but nice nevertheless). We would also treat ourselves to nights out and dinner plus drinks. All of that added up fast! Now, we drive to the beach that is about four hours from our home, stay in a nice but moderately priced condo, and eat in. In fact, cooking on vacation is much less expensive and I have control over how the food is cooked. We also save money by taking in all of the free things that are available (museums, parks, the beach). We still have a wonderful time but have cut the cost of our vacation by about 50 percent.

After a few months of whittling down our budget, we save about $400 per month or $3600 per year which has given us much more financial freedom and peace of mind but we haven't missed anything that we cut out. If you are struggling to save money, I would recommend using a virtual scalpel to cut your budget as well. You can cut out unneeded purchases and watch your savings account grow!

Budgets and Business Building

Author: Robert Wayne Harris

Job Vacancy - A budget is critical to building a business. Business owners will tell you that bankers and lenders need a budget. Bankers insist on it, investors want it and business partners won't back the new business owner without it. - Job Indonesia

It makes perfectly good sense since the operation of a start-up business has no track record to draw from to show performance or profit. The risks involved are enormous and the statistics for failure is high. Over 80% of all businesses fail in the first 5 years. Those statistics scare most investors away and bankers carefully examine these risks.

The mistake new business owners most often make is failing to plan for failure or slow months when little or no money is available to pay their bills. This results in financial trouble almost before they complete their first year. Depending on their chosen business venture and their start-up time, a retailer for example will rely heavily on Christmas and other celebratory times of the year to move a substantial amount of inventory. When sales drop, the financial fallout can close the business down if not properly funded.

Proper budgeting and funding is relied upon in these instances to carry the business through. This is why banks and financial partners are careful in financing new businesses and especially new inexperienced business owners. The failure rate is high and no one wants to be burdened with a failed business and accompanying expenses.

Proper funding and budgeting is mandatory to the success of any business...especially when your inexperienced. Proper funding minimizes your worries and maximizes your potential for success. - Lowongan Kerja

Some Effective Tips About How To Save Money

Author: Steve Loanesco

Indonesia Job - Saving money is not just about finding a bargain and paying less for an item. This "saving" will only help you if you then set aside the money you "saved" and keep it till later. Saving money is to be able to put money away, ideally where you cannot access it easily, so that it's there to be used at a later time. - Job Vacancy

A study by economists found that income did not relate into volume of savings on retirement, and that low income earners were frequently able to have better savings on retirement than middle income earners. The study came to the conclusion that "persons with minimal savings on the eve of retirement have simply preferred to save less and spend more over their lifetimes.

Saving money is a decision; you choose to spend less than you earn and save the difference. Earning money is only half of the equation; we should find out how to control the money we earn and realize that not all money earned is for instant spending.

The first decision you must make is to save some of your earnings. To work out how much you can save, you first need to take the time to work out what your monthly bills total, how much is needed for the regular repeat costs like mortgage, utilities, insurances, vehicle costs etc. Work out a monthly cost by dividing the annual amount by twelve.

When you have a total monthly expenditure, compare it against your regular monthly earnings. If you are like the majority of people who do this exercise, you will now have to look for ways to reduce your expenditure to bring it in below your earnings. Consider things like credit cards, entertainment, eating out, fast food, vehicle expenses and clothing

Unless you take the time to explore the best ways to save money now, you will have to face the consequences of over-spending at some time down the track. Bite the bullet now and put yourself in a better financial position for the rest of your life. - Lowongan Kerja

Ways to Save Money on a Tight Budget

Author: Lyn Bell

Job Vacancy - When your budget is stretched you need to take control of your spending. Here are some ways to save money on a tight budget. Remember that the important thing is not how much you earn but how much you save and how you spend. - Indonesia Job
Going to the supermarket can be irresistible for unplanned spending. It is one of the major places to use more money than you intend. Be conscious about this fact and make yourself some simple rules.

• Start by allocating a set sum for groceries every month in your budget.
• Shop for groceries only once a week and do not be tempted to pop in every day. You'll invariably end up with more than the carton of milk you dropped in for.
• Plan your shopping by taking a list of the items you need. Make a note of the usual price of the items and add these up to indicate how much you will be spending.
• Only shop when you have eaten and not when you are hungry. If you are hungry you will end up with more food in your trolley than you need.
• Scour the specials and cut out coupons. Make you list using the weekly special publication.
• Take cash to cover your bill rather than placing it on the credit card.

Develop a checklist to make sure your effort to cut costs on your bills is actually working.
Power Bill

• Electricity bills can be lowered by simple things such as switching off appliances that are not in use.
• Check other providers to see if you can get a better rate for the use of your power.
• Switch off lights in rooms you are not using.
• Use energy-saving light bulbs.
• Insulating your home may be an expense at the start but will have an ongoing benefit of decreased electricity bills and providing a warm home.

Phone Bill

• Using the internet for online chats and sending emails helps you to stay in touch without having huge bills to talk on the phone.
• Use Skype to call friends who are also on the internet for free. You can also pay for calls to landlines at inexpensive rates.
• Ask your telephone provider if they have special deals that will cut the cost of calls.

Water Bill

• Even if you don't pay for water usage this applies. Attend to any dripping tap as this is a waste of water.

You may think of many more ideas but these are some of the ways you can save money on a tight budget. - Lowongan Kerja

Finding a Legitimate Data Entry Employer

www.employmentmag.com

Many novices think that it requires too much time to build a reputation and to get a reliable and legitimate data entry employer. This is also the reason why they don’t struggle to find a data entry employer. But this should not be the behavior of an intelligent person. You should understand that there are a number of data entry employers online ready to buy your services. Most of these employers are legitimate and legal while very few are fake and scam. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to have a small market research for determining the business standings of such employers. Once you are satisfied with the reviews and comments of specific buyers, you should start working for them.

The rule of thumb is to go for an employer that does not ask for any fee to offer their work. All legitimate and legal employers are free in providing the work and hence you don’t have to make and fee in order to get the work. The only fee that an employer may expend is that which it gives to the platform on which it is advertising about his/her job. But this fee is solely paid by the employer and not by employee. Moreover, the employee should make sure that the employer is not trying to contact illegally or trying to avoid the fees of the platform. Though this practice is very common on freelance websites but both the employer and employee should try to avoid such practices. Otherwise, it decreases down the reliability and surety of the payment for the effort of the employee. But one should also not consider that all employers are of such type. Most of the employers prefer to work legally and legitimately, which is a much safer and true way to work on internet.

The reason why people are doubtful about home based data entry jobs is that they are unable to directly correspond with the employer. If the employer is foreign and resides in some other continent, it is also very expensive to establish land line contacts with him. Therefore, many people miss a number of data entry jobs due to this reason. But one should understand that this is 21st century and here more than 99% of the business is done over internet. Therefore, you should also confess it and become a part of it in order to have long term success in with online home based jobs. It contains wide variety of opportunities and a huge earning potential. The amount you can earn through online home based jobs mostly depends upon your commitment. If you are able to give hours to the job every day, you can obviously earn a good amount of supplementary income. Otherwise, you can just cover your food and clothing expenses.

Financial managers, as the name suggests are primarily responsible in coordinating and directing the financial activities of the workers in a company department, branch or office.

Apart from analyzing the said information, he must be able to relate all these information to the company, and give advice with regards to company decisions to ensure a raise of profit. Evaluating the results based on the investments or risks that the company undertakes is also a part of a financial manager’s job. There are several duties that a financial manager must be able to do depending on the type of office or department where he is needed.

What to Look For in a Job Description

www.employmentmag.com

When you apply for a job, one of the first things you would want to know about is the job description. This is a document that explains what the job is all about. Through it, you should be able to form a picture in your mind what you have to do, what the limits are, what the bosses expect from you, what your output will be, or how you will have to spend your working hours within the company. You would not want to work in a company which doesn’t provide you with tools to work with, or information on how to accomplish your tasks.

On your end, you would have already prepared your resume even before you applied for a job to a particular company. You know you would have to stand out among other applicants for the same job. You consider yourself worthy and qualified for the work you seek. But is the organization or company worth getting into? You would need to do some research too, in order to become familiar with the company’s operations and products or services. But the bottom line is that you will have to depend on your position’s job description to see whether you will fit within the organization or not. Your decision to go ahead with your application will have to depend in part on the functions you will assume as delineated in the job description. Your career path within that company will be guided and influenced by the terms stated in the job description so you should be careful with your first step.

The job description for your particular position should include under what department you will be assigned and to whom you would be reporting to, what your overall responsibilities will be and in what key areas of the operations you will be particularly responsible for. You should pay special attention to the term of employment since this will play an important part in the future whether you would want to continue or not with the company.

In order for you to perform as expected, you have to make sure that the job description they provide you states the specific tasks you need to do. If they are simply looking for computer literate staff, be sure to ask if they are really looking for someone who is proficient in working with specific software programs. If the job description says “good communication skills”, ask if they want somebody who is actually able to communicate technical information to somebody how has no technical knowledge. Knowing what the particular demands and requirements are will ensure that you do the tasks as the bosses expected and you can contribute more to the overall productivity of the organization.

Most companies know that a well-written job description will help them get the best people for their job opening so they will put their best efforts in providing one that will convey to the job applicant a good “snapshot” of what the job requires through a good job description. It is up to you to see through embellishments, exaggerations and half-truths that some organizations may include in their job description just to lure qualified applicants.

Well, the first of these will be the simple fact that you are able to become your own boss and as such can create your own working schedule that you can fit around all of your other commitments and not the other way around. You can work whenever you wish to work and can spend only a few hours a day working or can work for all of the hours that you have. It really all comes down to what you want.

As such you have the opportunity to prioritise the work that you do and will not be accountable to anyone else but yourself. You can choose when to get our of bed each morning and when to do to bed each night.

If you wish to have a day off you can also do this. As long as you are managing to get done all of the work that you need to do in the day then you can get this done at any time.

And of course if you do want to work all hours of the day then you can do this as well.

The Secret to Work-At-Home Success

www.employmentmag.com

Many people make working at home more difficult than it is. That doesn’t mean working at home is easy or not without effort (as the scammers would have you believe). But some people get so bogged down in the details, they never actually get anywhere.

The Recipe for Success

Working at home is much like baking a cake. You can search for the best cake recipes. Research each item. Purchase items to make your cake. But until you actually mix up the ingredients and stick them in the oven, you won’t have a cake.

But that’s how many people approach working at home. They are always searching for the best work-at-home opportunity. They research each option. Many even buy stuff for their home office or new work-at-home venture. But they don’t actually put it all together to make money.

The secret to Work-At-Home Success is to take action. Yes, the search, research and planning is important, but at some point you need to put what you’ve learned to action and make money. Do you want a work at home job? Search for a job and submit a resume. Want to start a home business? Get the license and distribute business cards or work your network to find that first customer.

Rule of 10,000

For many people this first action step (beyond the research) is scary. Worries about what others will think or fear of failure paralyze them. But no one is 100% out the gate. When I was an exchange student in France, my host mother told me that when making crepes, the first one always gets thrown out because it doesn’t turn out right. The ones thereafter get better and therefore are used. The same will be true about working at home. The first steps may not turn out very well, but you keep working on it and you get better.

In Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell, one indication of success is practice…10,000 hours of practice. Nearly everyone studied who was at the very top of their profession had about 10,000 or practice. Fortunately you don’t need 10,000 of practice to make your first buck from home. You may not even need it to make a million. But it is true that the more you do the better you get.

One Day at a Time

We live in a world with instant gratification. A hundred years ago it took days even weeks to hear from loved ones across the country though mail. Today an email or an instant message connects people in real time. Work-at-home scammers and even gurus will have you believe that in a matter of hours or days you can be raking in money hand over fist. But the reality is, things take time. There is a learning curve to working at home. If you want to make money online you have learn about web sites, internet marketing, keywords, and how to write persuasively. Each takes time to learn much less master.

The problem is that many people give up because the money doesn’t come fast enough. In fact, some people never implement anything because it takes too long. But if you want success, you have to start today. If not, in two years you’ll still be looking for the fast fix, where as if you do something today, you could be successfully working at home in that time.

What many people fail to recognize that is that little can add up quickly. If you were to get one penny today, two pennies the second day, four pennies the third day and continued to double it each day, on the 31st day you’d get $5,368,709.12 and the sum total for the month would be $10,737,418.24! All that from doubling one piddly little penny.

Your work -at-home effort will be the same. At first it will seem like you’re not getting results.

Day 1: $.01

Day 2: $.02

Day 3: $.04

Day 4: $.08

Day 5: $.16

Day 6: $.32

Day 7: $.64

Day 8: $1.28

Day 9: $2.56

Day 10: $5.12

Day 11: $10.24

Day 12: $20.48

Day 13: $40.96

Day 14: $81.92

But if you continue to add to your previous effort, day after day, the results will explode.

Day 15: $163.84

Day 16: $327.68

Day 17: $655.36

Day 18: $1,310.72

Day 19: $2,621.44

Day 20: $5,242.88

Day 21: $10,485.76

Day 22: $20,971.52

Day 23: $41,943.04

Day 24: $83,386.08

Day 25: $167,772.16

Day 26: $335,544.32

Day 27: $671,088.64

Day 28: $1,342,177.28

Day 29: $2,684,354.56

Day 30: $5,368,709.12

So what’s the secret to work-at-home success?

Do something every day.

That’s it. Do at least one thing (beyond the research) that moves you towards your goal. Write your resume, today. Start submitting to jobs tomorrow and every day after until hired. Write a business plan today, get your permit tomorrow, and implement your marketing plan the next day and each day after until you’ve got customers. Do something every day and pretty soon you’ll be a success at it.

So…what are you going to do today, that will make you a success tomorrow?

Shirking away from responsibilities stands as the most significant causes for a man’s career halt. The world is filled with talented individuals who shirk their responsibilities and postpone to a time suitable to them.

- Careless attitude in your workplace. There is no dearth of individuals who show their character traits with their careless and reckless attitude. You may sound too clever when you think nobody has noticed your actions. Employers keenly watch every employees move, they are always on the lookout for a man of proper conduct and attitude to put more responsibilities on him. More responsibilities mean promotion and a rise in pay.

Avoid making private calls from your office, or chatting too closely with the members of opposite sex. Chewing gums, and laughing loudly in the office premises. Never attract undue negative attention if you want to rise up the ladder of success.

- Asking for a pay rise when your boss is in an angry mood. If you look for some excuse to be scolded badly by your boss, or print your name in his bad books for ever, then go ahead and ask for a leave, or rise in pay when he had a bad day. You can be assured that you would remain in your present job position for ever. Do it twice and you might even be demoted?

Trying avoiding the given tips, and you would witness your career soar to new heights.

Sample Interview Questions and Answers: How to Prepare For These Tough Questions

www.employmentmag.com


It’s no secret that it’s a buyer’s market out there right now for employers. They’ve got more applications than they know what to do with. You may be competing with dozens of applicants for every job opening. If you are lucky enough to be granted an interview, you better be prepared to answer some tough questions.

The more responsibility a specific job has, the more difficult the questions will be. Any job that involves supervising or managing people, or parts of an organization, will be highly competitive. You’ll need to be able to think on your feet at the interview. This may be your only shot at impressing the employer.

One of the big fears of going into a job interview is being asked a tough question and having no response except a blank look on your face. This would be the worst case scenario, of course, but it plays out in many people’s heads. Unfortunately, this scenario could become a reality unless you prepare ahead of time for a challenging interview.

Here’s an example of some tough sample job interview questions:

Tell me what you enjoyed about your last job? What you didn’t like?

The first part of this question is easy. Most people can find one or more things they liked about a job, even if they thought the job sucked. The second part is tricky. You know you shouldn’t bad mouth your former employer, but you still need to think of something to say.

Pick one thing that you didn’t like about your last job and explain that it bothered you because you felt the company could do better in this area. Give a suggestion of what you would improve. Stay away from negative comments about former coworkers or the company.

Why did you leave your last job?

Stay away from money reasons or negative issues with former coworkers. Instead, explain that you left to find opportunities to grow, explore new interests, etc.

Give an example of how you made an impact at your last job?

If you’ve never thought much about this, then now’s the time. Every person’s job at a company has a direct or indirect impact on the people around them, the organization and those that come into contact with the company. Find an example of something you did at your job that had a positive impact on either your coworkers, the company or the company’s customers.

Describe your biggest challenge and how you handled it?

You must take time to think about this one. There’s no way you will come up with a good answer on the fly. Think of a person, place or thing that made it difficult for you to do your job. How did you work around this obstacle and come out a winner?

Describe your decision making process.

You want to appear strong on this one. So, you need to figure out if you make decisions quick and confidently, or like to weigh the pros and cons of an idea first before coming to the best solution for the situation.

There’s no right or wrong to this question, the employer is trying to find out if you are capable of taking decisive action when needed. Some people have difficulty making up their minds. These are not the people they’re looking to hire.

How would you describe your management style?

Here’s where you tell them what type of manager you think you are. Are you very hands on or do you like to give people more independence and act in a supporting role?

Are you a people person?

Are you strict, but fair?

Know what your style is and be very honest with the employer about this.

What is your greatest weakness?

Warning: this is a question that can stop you cold in an interview. We’re so used to talking about our strengths in an interview situation that often we don’t have a clue what to say to someone asking us to describe a weakness.

However, you cannot stay silent. If you do, you may lose your chance at the position. The employer isn’t that interested in hearing about your weakness as they are in seeing how you handle the question. The ironic thing is that if you stare at them blankly on this one, you’ll end up looking weak – even if you were great a moment before.

Say something like you’re too chatty or overconfident or maybe a tad bit too focused on little details, etc. Pick a lightweight weakness and turn it into a positive. You talk a lot because you’re a people person. You’re overconfident at times, but careful not to step on anyone’s toes. You’re picky about details because you care about the quality of your work. Keep a smile on your face while answering.

What assets and talents do you feel you can contribute to our company?

Here is where you should shine. Give them action steps you will take to be a top performer in their organization. Don’t say that you “feel” you would do this or that. Tell them exactly what you WILL do. Act like you’re already one of the team and all they need to do let you loose and you will help their company soar to new heights.

It will help if you’ve already done some research on their company and have an idea of what would benefit them.
