    Should I Hire a Professional to Do My Advertising?
    You wake up one morning with a stabbing pain in your back. It’s in the lower part and hard to reach. You decide to take some aspirin or Tylenol. It seems to help and you forget about it. A week later you’re in the hospital in traction. What went wrong?It’s a scenario that describes many small businesses that refuse to pay for expert advertising advi

    The Future of Chinese Brands to Come
    History is about to repeat itself again and China is coming online and working to out produce the rest of the world and become the leader in many industries. Of course they know, since they have been studying our methods of commerce that they need to develop their products and develop their brands.In doing so we will be buying their brand names soon. Ah ha you are doubting
    Despite what some job seekers think, it is not illegal for former employers to tell reference checkers that you were fired. They can say anything they want as long as it's true.

    But many companies do have policies that limit what they will reveal about past employees.

    Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

    I was watching an episode of CBS's "60 Minutes" recently (hmmm, maybe I watch too much TV; no wait, this is "research," so it's OK). They had a shocking story about a male hospital worker who is suspected of killing more than 40 patients in several different hospitals during the past decade. He pleaded guilty to two of the murders.

    That is very disturbing by itself... but what makes this story so incredibly worse is that his employers unwittingly helped him do it! This guy had been fired many times for a variety of reasons -- hoarding potentially harmful drugs, illegally administering unprescribed treatments, being negligent with patients -- and other alarming actions. He'd even been convicted of something (I can't recall the charge).

    Maine's Economic Recovery; Market Sectors for Economic Growth
    I would like to discuss the issues concerning Maine and it’s economy. For this most important discussion we are going to focus on jobs and money flow. Well first we should discuss tourism in the coastal areas. They are not breaking any speed records in Kennebunkport or Bar Harbor, but things are doing a lot better now that the late winter is over, that was a bad one, not the wors

    Grants Are Ideal For Capital Raising!
    Raising capital can be a harrowing affair for most of us, but particularly so for small struggling businesses, disadvantaged groups and those belonging to the rural sector. Often many of these people have done the rounds of the banks and traditional lending institutions only to be turned away because they have not been able to meet their very strict lending criteria.

    Are You Making These Common Job Interview Mistakes?
    Going to an interview without a plan of action is like going out on a football field without a game plan. Total disaster!

    Apparently the hospital's lawyers were trying to protect them from lawsuits that could possibly result if something negative (and not proven as fact) was said about a past employee which prevented that employee from obtaining another job.

    So even though references were checked, they revealed nothing about this criminal's activities. And he was passed along from one hospital to the next, allegedly killing patients in each one until he was finally caught.

    This is a very extreme example of how such personnel policies are, in my opinion, doing more harm than good. This sword cuts both ways, after all. If you've done a truly exceptional job for your past employer, wouldn't you want that employer to be free to confirm your glowing accomplishments during a reference check?

    Things are changing, thank goodness. According to the Society of Human Resource Management, employers are conducting more criminal checks than ever before. The need to provide a safe workplace is helping to drive this increase. Plus companies that were on
