    Audit Recruitment - A Crash Course in Auditing
    However before applying or training for a job in audit it’s worth gaining a good overview of the industry.Internal and External Audit JobsInternal auditors work within companies. Their responsibility is to evaluate the processes & internal systems of control. They try to work as independently of the company as possible to gain the most objective distance, whilst still being directly employed by the company. Internal audit jobs are ideal for those with an analytical mind and who like the variety of working across various departments of a company.External auditors often carry out similar sorts of tasks as internal audit

    Media Training: When Reporters Bully You
    UNDER FIREA friend whose organization is often in the media spotlight recently told me a story about her boss. Her boss, let’s call her Susan, is on the leadership team for a lobbying group that represents a somewhat unpopular industry.Susan was interviewed a few months ago by Dateline NBC Correspondent Lea Thompson about a topic that could make her organization look bad. She knew she’d have to answer tough questions.Nervous about saying something embarrassing about her organization, Susan carefully prepared for the interview. She developed her main messages, thought about the worst questions she could possibly face and practiced her
    I am writing this from my new (new to me) 10,000 square foot office. I have been so productive lately that I thought I would write about the impact of the right working environment....the right office.

    Obviously with over 10,000 square feet I am not alone, but it is far from loud or chaotic. Throughout the office quiet but calming music plays in the background and throws a blanket over what little chatter there is.

    It is an open floor plan, no cubicles here. Thank God! Talk about a shitty environment? Have you ever looked over a see of cubicles? It's depressing. I can't tell you how many times I have caught myself u-turning and zig-zagging through a cubicle maze just trying to find an exit. Conspiracy theorists would tell you that the company does this in an effort to confuse the employee into more hours of work.

    The lighting is bright, and much of it natural. There are comfortable chairs found throughout the floor for anyone that wants to sit and read, or just take a time-out...or whatever. Next to the leather chairs are small tables where you can place the coffee and snack that you got at the cafeteria (really a little coffee shop like stand). The temperature is kept cool, but not cold. Your attention never has to stray to how uncomfortable you are. This freedom of movement and comfort of environment is conducive to creative thought and productive action. Many companies recognize the bottom line benefits to reducing workplace stress for their employees.

    Oh, one of the best features (very well thought out) is a large library of books and audio and video access-able to everyone at any time. I have found myself on several occasions finding a book or video on a particular subject that I was writing about. I have also had new ideas sparked by reading something that was off my radar. I think they call this synergy. If not, it sounds good in this piece so I am leaving it in.

    Goals or Wishes?
    Goal setting has to be one of the most common phrases when setting out to gain more business. We all dislike the planning process that happens in large corporations. It seems that the goals are set and nothing really happens to fulfill them. The goals we need to set are goals for obtaining a number of business contacts that can lead to a business relationship. Goals for the number of contacts you need to make in order to gain one business relationship may vary from industry to industry. When working with professional sales staff, I find that some firms have a six to one ratio before a sale is made. In other cases it may be one hundred to one (which is fai

    The Outside Of The Box Is As Important As What Is Inside
    So many people never think about the package when they develop a product. Packaging should be the first thought in product development -- not the last. Without the package, you couldn't even have a product to sell or ship. After all, the package transports the product from point A to point B, protects it and secures the contents inside.The product has to be shipped using some method of conveyance – the package. So, no matter what kind of product you develop (whether it be informative, literature or a physical consumer product) the choice of the shipping container or box is just as important as what you put inside it.Your "package" is the fi

    The Power Of The 5WH Formula
    If you are contemplating starting a new business it will pay dividends to ask yourself these 5 very important questions before making any business decisions: Who, what, where, when, why and how. These 5 questions are known as the 5WH formula and apply to every business decision you will ever make. To help you understand the basic application of these questions and how they can help probe issues for answers a few examples are offered below:WHO is going to be responsible for starting the business, registering the name and making sure it is in legal compliance with local, state and federal authoritiesWHAT form of operation will your business ta

    Face to Face Negotiation
    In our age of ever-expanding communication possibilities, researchers have been drawn to answer the question of which communication mode is most likely to lend itself to successful negotiation. Although the answer is undetermined, Face-to-face communication has been proven to have a greater possibility of alleviating miscommunication. When you're in person, you are more apt to pick up all the nuances of the exchange. That way, you will be better able to gauge what the other party is thinking and to determine the direction in which the negotiating is headed. For the same reasons, it is also easier to create and maintain rapport. If th

    My office is Borders Books.

    And if you want to learn a lesson about a successful business practice you should look closely at Borders Books. My Borders is in Pleasanton, CA., my home town. Every morning I arrive around 9:30 and I am greeted by a friendly face behind the Seattle's Best coffee shop located inside the store. As with other professional Barristas, they remember my favorite morning drink and I settle in to one of the many tables that are each equipped with an outlet for your laptop or other gear. There are other familiar faces. The other "office workers" who have discovered the UNBELIEVABLE value in reporting here for work each day. Many of us are here all day, and even have lunch here (purchased at their cafe of course). We are never approached by a manager telling us that we can't simply "loiter" in their store. We are never given the "vibe" by employees who are trying to telegraph their disdain for your outstayed welcome. Instead, they continue to greet you warmly throughout the day as they work in the background (work in the background...and this is THEIR store!).

    I remember vividly the way bookstores used to operate (many still do). First of all, even thinking of bringing in something to drink (let alone eat) was heresy. You would be expelled immediately if caught having snuck one in. Of course cardinal rule #2 was, although you could thumb through something briefly, NO READING in the store (no reading in a book store!). At Borders they will SELL you something to eat or drink. At Borders they will ENCOURAGE you to READ in the store (hence the comfortable chairs). You are encouraged to read AND PUT IN BACK if you want. At Borders you are encouraged to spend ALL DA
