Australian Business Visa Attracts Business Travels for the Holiday Season
With the holiday season fast approaching, more and more businesspeople are considering getting an Australian business visa for a different taste of winter.The Australian winter is actually the friendly reversal of Europe's and the U.S.'s version of deep frost and snowstorm, which is why the Land Down Under is always a top pick for holiday business travels and for business people who'd like to extend their work well into winter.Businesspeople are wising up on the extended opportunities Australia's holiday can give their businesses.

"I think that is an excellent conversation to have with your clients. I would say, it is actually good to work with multiple recruiters, just make sure you are working with the right ones. By that I mean your clients should make sure the firms they deal with specialize in their fields and have a long established track record of success. I would encourage your clients to develop relationships with recruiters and firms that take time to interview and get to know their clients and be cautious of organizations that call you based upon a resume on Monster.com and have a 10 minute conversation regarding one job."

Recycled Pens
Today 50% of the paper industry’s raw material comes from recovered paper and board. Paper is the most recycled product in Europe, and Europe is the global champion in paper recycling with a rate of 55.4%. The paper industry has been a driving force in achieving that rate and is part of a new industry initiative to push it even higher, to 66% by 2010. The potential exists to make this target a reality and bring us closer to the EU goal of a ‘recycling society’. But there is also a gap between industry’s view of recovered paper as a raw material and public policy, which views it as waste. If recycl

If you've done much job searching, you may have worked with a recruiter at one time or another. Maybe your experience was terrific and you found the job of your dreams, or maybe the recruiter treated you like a commodity to be shopped to the highest bidder.

On March 13 I held a joint teleconference with Joe Centrella of Resource Options Inc., one of the premier recruiting and placement firms in the Boston Area. You can hear a recording of the conference here. The official topic of the teleconference was, "What Do Recuiters Do For You", but as it developed, a better title would have been, "How can you find a really good recruiter, and how can you work effectively with him." The discussion ranged far and wide, but Joe came up with three good rules of thumb:

A good recruiter will spend time talking with you about your long-term goals and aspirations, what you're good at and what you enjoy doing, your good and bad jobs, and other things about you. He'll use this information to match you with a job and employer that suits you well, so there will be a better chance that you'll be a reall success in the new job.
A good recruiter also spends time talking with the hiring company and the hiring manager, finding out about the organizational culture, what sort of person they're looking for, the career path opportunities in the company, and other factors that he will use to make the perfect match between the job and the candidate.
A good recruiter looks for a good match for you, not a fast placement because he doesn't want to wast your time, the company's time, and his own time on an interview that doesn't fit either you or the company. So it may be weeks between phone calls, but when the recruiter calls you it's likely that he's found a very high probability match. (Joe says that it's okay to check in periodically to see how things are going, but don't overdo it and call every day...)

Shortly after that, one of my clients asked me about the advisability of working with more than one recruiter at a time - whether it would cause trouble or had any down side. I knew one answer to the question already: it makes your life much more complicated because you have to keep track of multiple recruiters and who they've sent you to - sort of like directing traffic in a busy intersection. But I didn't know the rest of the answer, so I sent the question out to the listserve of the Boston Recruiter's Group. As usual, the recruiters in the group were very helpful, and here are some the responses I got back:

"Having two or three recruiters representing you is wise....but be honest with each recruiter as to where your resume has already been submitted. Don't make the mistake of withholding that information. Also advise your client to be as sure as possible that their contingent recruiter of choice isn't blasting their resume all over kingdom come. Employers don't welcome a recruiter who spams resumes out where they are not wanted or invited. That's bad business for the recruiter, and bad business for the candidate." (KM)
"I 100% agree! The candidate needs to be selective which agency/recruiter(s) they choose. Also, make sure the recruiter(s) understand not to mass email without prior consent. There is nothing worse than 'Egg On Face' when a client tells you, 'this candidate has already been submitted thru another agency' and the candidate has no idea which recruiter or agency. It's damaging to both parties." (OC)

Actions are Louder Than
You have heard the saying that "actions speak louder than words". It is so true, especially when it comes to business relationships. We talked about places to keep in contact with the Power of Ten in the last chapter, as a basis for doing business. This chapter is more concentrated on doing the work through commitment and follow-up. You cannot expect to keep a customer unless you provide them with excellent customer service. You may argue that price is also an issue but I believe that a person will not mind paying a higher price (providing it is not too high) for the best customer service they hav

What Are Advertising Gifts?
Advertising gifts are those gifts that you hand out to potential clients and to future clients to keep your company’s name on the tip of their tongue and in the forefront of their minds. Mugs and mouse mats and other functional items are great for this purpose, as there is a good chance that your advertising gifts will be used again and again by customers and your name will be exposed to them constantly as well as to anyone that they come into contact with.Think carefully about these investments, though. Mugs can be replaced with gifts from other companies or from family members, pens can
