Ten Great Careers That Don't Require A Four Year Degree o find understanding and a listening ear. When that person offers advice, you listen because you trust them. They know how to help since they have heard you instead of trying to force their ideas on you.One of the great myths associated with the “American Dream” is that you need to have a four-year college degree to be successful. As the economy has shifted to the information age, with a greater reliance on technology and services, this belief applies less and less.The new economy relies on technology more than any time in the past. In fact 70% of existing jobs require specific technical knowledge and this technology is being applied in newly created industries like biometrics, homeland security, nanotechnology and reusable energy.Eighty percent of existing jobs don’t require a four-year degree, while only 25% of students who begin college actually graduate.

Kinda makes you want to spend more time with them, hu HR Interview Questions There are basically two ways in which you can either attract or repel prospects. I call these Attraction Marketing and Repel Marketing.When conducting HR interviews, it is vital to ask the right questions to get the information needed. This information is the basis for deciding if the candidates being interviewed are a good fit for the job or not. Well-crafted questions are necessary, to know a candidate as much as possible during the allotted interview time. It is important to ask the right questions, but it is equally important to know what not to ask. In other words, the various employment laws specify that certain questions should not be asked. Questions related to age, race, sex, religion, and disability cannot be asked; similarly, questions pertaining to color, nationality, origin, pregnancy, and other protected classifications are considered illegal.As a common thumb rule, all HR interview questions should be directly associated with the job in question and the tasks a candidate would be required to carry out if hired. You can either attract or repel prospects in your traditional marketing activities...such as: networking, direct mail, your web site, your brochure, your business graphics, your product or services, etc... You can also attract or repel prospects in your invisible marketing...such as: the way you present yourself, your attitude, the tone you use, subtleties in the way you run your small business, your thoughts, your actions, your motivation, etc...

In the 20th century there has been a sharp rise in the media industries (i.e. radio, television, film, newspapers…etc.).

Obviously, Attraction Marketing is the way you MUST market your small business. By incorporating Attraction Marketing, your prospect is attracted to you. Your prospect wants to be around you. Your prospect trusts you. Your prospect feels comfortable with you. And your prospect buys from you. If you are not attracting clients or customers, you are probably being a Repel Marketer. I hear you saying, "Who me? How could I possibly be a Repel Marketer?" It’s actually easier to be a Repel Marketer that an Attraction Marketer. Being an attractor takes empathy, listening, concentration, care and concern. Being a Repel Marketer is easy...just be lazy and do everything half-hearted and I can guarantee...your pretty much there. Let's discuss Repel Marketing in some detail.
