Government Jobs

By: Brian G Chadra

Writing a resume for a government job is different from that of a normal employer. The U.S. government is one of the largest employers in the world and takes a unique approach in their hiring process. Minorities and handicapped people are urged to apply since they are not discriminated against. In this way, the best possible candidate can be evaluated and hired regardless or race, creed or color.

Now assuming you already know a bit about constructing a resume, let's focus on the area of most concern: the education area. Believe it or not, the U.S. government places a larger premium on your educational background than your actual work experience.

This is not to say that your previous job experience is not important, but since many of these positions require analytical skills, a fresh thinker is often more advantageous than one who is used to do things a certain way. Looking at the postings for government jobs or civil service lends itself to this approach. Many of the positions will accept education in lieu of experience. This is because most college graduates have received the newest theories and training available to date.

It is this valuable commodity that makes a new graduate attractive to Uncle Sam. Be sure that you have your educational background complete and up to date when completing your resume. Make sure that it is emphasize by putting it before the work experience section. You may also wish to include any special academic awards or honors won while in school. Finally, be sure to target the job by placing a few strategic keywords from the advertisement in your job objective. This will ensure that your resume gets noticed by the right people. Good luck!

MBA Jobs

By: Josh Hohman

So you've graduated college, and you've been working for a while, but you want to do something more with your life, something to give it some purpose. The best way, or at least you've been told, is to go to business school and earn an MBA. Since you've always been interested in business, that's what you decide to pursue, the coveted MBA. There's nothing wrong with that dream in the least, but there are a lot of people striving to attain it, which does render it a little harder to get. You're able to improve your odds of being accepted by having a good MBA Recommendation letter, but by good, we don't mean having a letter written by a celebrity, such as an astronaut, cowboy, or rock star. Of course it can't hurt your application, but it can't help either. Celebrity recommendations, got in the exact same pile as all the others, and sometimes they even have to be screened for authenticity, meaning a lot more time before you get accepted into the school of your choice.

You may not know what to write, and that's expected if this is the first time you've applied to business school, so the best thing you can do is look a Sample MBA Recommendation. They're all over the internet, and all you have to do is a simple search, but if you're here then you've already been searching, so here is a decent Sample MBA Recommendation for you to model yours after:

To Whom It May Concern:

It has come to my attention that my esteemed co-worker Corporal Michael Cabot has applied for admittance into your program at the Apalucia Business School. I am writing to offer my full recommendation, for him, as I have known him for many years.

I can tell you that he does his best in every single case, no matter how minute the task is. Whether it's arming the tanks, or setting up tents, he has always done the best he can on this tour of duty, where others have faltered and lost hope.

For those who have lost hope, he has been a source of it. His leadership inspires the men around him, and teaches them to stand on their own, many wishing that they could be like him, and have his confidence. He saved a lot of lives, and even went as far as to put his own safety aside to make sure that others would live to go home and see their families once more.

I know that it was his dream to go to business school, in fact that is the precise reason he joined the armed forces, so that he could acquire the money from the G.I. Bill and make his way through college, leading the life he always wanted.

I can tell you that allowing Michael to attend your fine school would be the right decision, because not only will you get a quality individual, you'll also be accepting someone who fought for his country. There isn't a much better deal than that, and I hope that you will see it that way too.

Sincerely

Sgt. Mark Maddery

There you have a Sample MBA Recommendation. The one that you have written may be longer, though hopefully not shorter, and this one give you an idea of what a university looks for. Make sure your sample MBA letter tells things about you, and the things you have accomplished, and don't be afraid to boast, because everyone else will be boasting too. So good luck, and I hope you've found this Sample MBA Recommendation helpful in getting your actual MBA Recommendation written.

Accounting Jobs

By: Ellis Jackson Jr

Gone are the days that accounting jobs are considered boring and dull. It seem like all you do is sit behind a desk and staring at numbers, statistics and spreadsheets. Now ever since the Enron accounting scandal the focus for accounting jobs and auditors to find accounting fraud have been in very high demand. For that reason it now looks like it's the best college major around.

Since 2005, on the top 10 list of college majors you can find accounting. I fact it was number one. But today it has fallen off the top ten list but look out. Especially now with a bad economy and all the recent company failures like Fanny Mae, Freddie Mac, AIG and more made selecting college majors like accounting a no brainer. Don't be surprised if in the future it will become number one again.

Some people when picking college majors look for the top salary positions first. Now with the big demand for accounting and the lost of jobs that is currently going on students are cashing in on this major in college.

Colleges have been recruiting hard to find more accounting teachers and professors as the older ones retire. It has not been easy since there are more accounting faculties opening up than applicants to fill them. This is why it is still one of the best college majors out there. So if you are planning to go to college and you have been struggling with finding the right major then you might want to think about becoming an accountant.

If not, then here is a list of top ten college majors that you can take a look at created by the Princeton Review.

1. Business Administration and Management: Yes, it seems like most people want to be the boss or at least a high powered executive that makes the big calls and get all the big bonuses and then screw up the company and ask the government to bail them out.

2. Psychology: With this job you can study the way humans and animals interact and how they respond to their environment. You can study their behavior and their thoughts behind it. Just be prepared to go to school for about a total of 9 to 10 years if you want your own private practice.

3. Elementary Education: It seems like people are still interested in shaping the minds of the future generation while they cry and throw up on you. Good Luck!

4. Biology: If you want to know what makes the living tick, then this is for you. But be prepared to study your butt off if you want to make it in this field.

5. Nursing: Hope you have the patience for this one. Get it! You will be tested by all types of people as you play the role of educator, mediator, listener, problem solver, comforter, and therapist as you attend to basic health needs.

6. Education: Unless you have a spouse making good money you better be prepared to have a second job. It may be rewarding to teach the next up in coming president, it will not be rewarding to you wallet. But most people who get in this field can't imagine doing anything else.

7. English: Read, write, discuss, and read some more. Who knows, maybe you can become a writer like the people who wrote the series "Caveman". Well I hope you become better than that for your sake.

8. Communications: With this job you can produce the next late night infomercial telling everybody how to make big bucks while sitting in your underwear.

9. Computer Science: Lets face facts! It's not the meek that shall inherit the earth, it's the Geek that shall inherit the earth. More computers means more computer problems and that means you will have a job for life or until the next big asteroid sends use back to the stone age.

10. Political Science: I guest since George Bush lowered the bar for all future presidents now anybody feels like they have a shot. Even Sara Palin! Not!

Well there you have it. Even though accounting is not one the top ten list anymore you can still be on your way to having a job that is in big demand. Better start picking college majors now before you have to get in line and wait behind all the future accountants.

Finance Jobs

By: Crone Corkill

In the not so long-gone past, many career advisers were advising young people seeking to start out a career to go into finance. The financial markets were doing well then, finance jobs were in plenty and MBA schools were bursting with young students seeking to build a career in finance. And the finance jobs were, of course, not limited to the financial markets. With a strong economy, finance graduates who couldn't get jobs in the financial markets and investment banks could quite easily be absorbed into commerce and industry accounting jobs. Other would get middle office finance jobs in the public service, and going was good.

Then the bubble burst.

The economy went into recession mode, the financial markets shrunk and finance graduates who had taken up jobs with investment banks found themselves facing the axe, as the investment banks are the worst affected by turmoil in the financial markets. And as if on cue, companies, in a bid to cut costs, were also cutting on their head counts, thus also shaking the fortunes of the finance graduates who found commerce and industry accounting jobs in the private sector. In the midst of all this, it seems that the only secure finance graduates are those who took up middle office finance jobs in the public sector, but even this is not fear-proof for we do not know for sure what the full effects of the economic turmoil will be on civil service staffing.

So in the face of all this, what is the future of finance jobs?

It might seem counter-intuitive to say, but the future of finance jobs is still bright, in spite of the current turmoil in the financial markets. As it were, economists tell us that the current economic turmoil is largely short-term to medium term, which is to say that it won't be with us forever. Which means that the people who chose to pursue a career in finance need not regret their choice, as better times are coming. But even before the better times arrive, the people with finance backgrounds who are currently getting laid off might not find themselves in the cold for too long.

As governments unveil the various economic stimulus plans, there will be need for people to manage the money as it goes into various sectors - which translates to some finance jobs. Of course the finance jobs created in this way will be for the best brains in finance.

And then there is the fact that all companies, like human beings, have a native survival instinct, which they are likely to find handy in these hard economic times. One survival strategies for companies in crises is to hire the experts who are likely to navigate them through the particular crises. And since the current crisis is financial, the companies are likely to find themselves hiring financial experts to help them address the economic crisis. Of course, the companies are not likely to be overtly looking for finance experts to help them address the financial crises. What we are likely to see is an increase in commerce and industry accounting jobs, but the accountants so hired are bound to be almost exclusively tasked with cost and revenue management tasks, geared towards helping their employers sail through the turbulent times successfully.

And finally the good times will surely come back again. If the history of the financial markets is anything to go by, we know that all bursts are always followed by booms.

Marketing Jobs

By: Sarah Maple

The county of Surrey is situated in the South East of England and borders Greater London. This prime location for access to the capital means that over the years the county has developed as an increasingly prosperous and affluent area, leading to many important businesses and companies to establish offices and headquarters in the area. Consequently, the county boasts a number of thriving industrial sectors and marketing jobs in Surrey are particularly sought after.

Electronics is one such sector, and the county has many opportunities for marketers therein. Two major Japanese photographic giants, Nikon and Canon, have their UK bases in Surrey - alongside other key players on the electronics scene: Samsung, Toshiba, and Philips. Interactive entertainment developers, Electronic Arts (makers of The Sims and Medal of Honour), also have a base in Guildford, Surrey's largest town with a population of over 65,000 inhabitants.

Surrey is also home to some significant members of the automotive industry, as well as being a one-time motor racing destination due to the location of Brooklands near Weybridge. The racing circuit at Brooklands has since been replaced with its very own museum of motorsport and aviation history (Brooklands Museum) and is something of a tourist attraction. South Korean car manufacturers KIA Motors, and Japanese motoring giants Toyota each have head offices in the county. Racing team and organisation, McLaren, are also based in Woking towards the North West.

Fast moving consumer goods (i.e. toiletries, cosmetics and detergents) companies are also well-established in the county. Food and cleaning conglomerate, Unilever, now have their headquarters in Surrey - as well as Nestle and hygiene giants Colgate-Palmolive. Pfizer, the American drugs/pharmaceutics producers also have their UK base there, as do Sanofi-Aventis - who specialize in Cancer and Allergy medication. All boast significant marketing teams with opportunities both in and outside of the city.

Aside from the electronics, motoring and industrial sectors, it may come as a surprise that the one of the biggest sectors in which marketing opportunities are available might be horticulture. This is primarily due to the major attraction (and one of the most visited gardens in the country), RHS Garden, Wisley. Established for over a century, the garden continues to expand with the opening of a new tri-section glass house containing desert, tropical and temperate climates. Surrey is also the UK home to two environmentally conscious non-governmental organizations, the World Wide Fund for Nature and Compassion in World farming.

Types Of Business Jobs

By: M Braziel

There are a lot of different types of home assembly jobs out there. In this article, I would like to discuss the different types of home assembly jobs that are available. Below are five of the most common home assembly jobs. Though there is more out there than what is listed, these are the top five that you will most likely encounter during your search.

Sewing

Sewing home assembly jobs are typically used in making dolls, baby bibs, or other small to medium scale items. Project specifications can range from hand stitching to machine sewing. Most of the time, all materials are provided, minus the sewing machine, of course. If getting involved in such a home assembly job, I would highly recommend that you either currently own or plan to purchase a sewing machine, as it will make producing products much faster as well as improving the overall quality of your finished projects.

Miniatures

Producing miniatures can range from something as simple as cutting out miniature decks of cards (a project I personally worked on) to making dollhouse furniture. Most companies that offer home assembly employment will allow you to choose from many different projects. Thankfully, such companies also usually implement a difficulty system, letting you know how difficult and time consuming it would be to assemble each different project. What you will be paid per project also usually varies due to the difficulty level. Most, if not all supplies, are provided by the company.

Jewelry

Usually jewelry making deals with necklaces, bracelets, and pins. Think of stringing beads, occasionally having to pick up a hot glue gun, and twisting wires. That's the basis for this market. Though you would think that projects of this nature would be simple, all of the ones I have personally worked on have been rather challenging. In these types of projects, the company usually supplies all of the materials needed to assemble the items, but you must usually have to supply your own tools. (pliars, wire cutters, hot glue gun, etc.)

Envelope stuffers

Pretty self explanatory. You fold brochures and stick them in envelopes. Truth be told, there are tons of these types of companies out there, but I have yet to find a legitimate one. I almost signed up for one a long time ago, but backed down out of fear of being ripped off. From what I understand, you have to stuff a ton of envelopes in order to be paid any substantial amount of money, which makes sense. I mean, seriously, how much effort does it take to stick a piece of paper in an envelope?

Crafts

This encompasses an array of different things. In fact, the possibilities are almost limitless. I've seen everything from painting clay figures to assembling baskets. Most companies that do not specialize in a single item will usually let you choose from a number of projects separated by pay rate and difficulty level. I would recommend this if you get bored quickly, as there are plenty of different types of projects to constantly stimulate your mind.

And that is a basic overview of the most common types of home assembly jobs. There are literally hundreds of different home assembly jobs out there that are not mentioned in this article, some you would never imagine in your entire lifetime...like putting together fly fishing lures. Yes, there is really a home assembly job that does that.

My best suggestion would be to find something you'll enjoy doing. Don't focus so much on what pays the most. If you enjoy what you're doing, it makes it feel less like a job. I think that's what we all strive for in terms of working.

Entry Level Business Jobs

By: David Millers

There are plenty of entry level opportunities for new accounting graduates. In recent years there have been smaller numbers of students choosing accounting as their field of study creating a shortage of accounting graduates. There are several reasons for this; one the requirements have become tougher; two the field has gotten a bad reputation from accounting scandals; and three increasingly complex laws and regulations have made it an unpopular field to work in for many.

There are four basic fields of accounting: Public Accounting; Managerial Accounting; Governmental Accounting; and, Internal Auditing. Each of these fields has widely varying job duties, however the fundamental tasks of the profession broadly stated "are to prepare, analyze, and verify financial documents in order to provide information to clients". Most accounting jobs require at least a bachelor degree in accounting, but previous job experience is also helpful and most collages offer part time and summer internships.

It is important for aspiring accountants to have an aptitude for math and be and able to analyze, compare, and interpret facts and figures quickly and accurately. Good communication skills both verbally and in writing are essential. Accountants must be able to work with people, business systems, and computers effectively and have a familiarity with basic accounting and computer software packages as well as be able to understand complex law regulations and accounting concepts.

As mentioned earlier the requirements for accountants have become more stringent in recent years. As of 2007, 42 States and the District of Columbia required CPA candidates to have 150 semester hours of college coursework, which is an additional 30 hours beyond the usual four year bachelor's degree and several other States are in the process of implementing similar requirements. Many schools have altered their programs as a result and now offer masters degrees as part of the 150 hours. Becoming a CPA will be much more difficult in the future.
Even though CPAs are regulated by their individual states, the very rigorous two day four-part Uniform CPA Examination is used throughout the United States. Also there is an experience requirement for a CPA certificate in most states; however requirements vary from state to state.

Top Business Jobs

By: Sambi O'jon

Ideas from which you can earn some extra money are everywhere on the internet and some of them will even make you realize just how important that it is to find the perfect opportunity for yourself and your family. Knowing what you want out of one of these opportunities and what you expect to get back out of the investment of your time and energy is important to knowing exactly what kind of business you should work with. Ideas are always available through different sources; however, it is the application applied on these ideas, and timing that makes all the difference in failure or success.

The top 5 Business Ideas for earning extra income online are;

  • Being an independent virtual assistant: This is like you offering to be somebody's personal office assistant online. It mainly involves administrative tasks that are done remotely for you.
  • Writing articles for other websites. With the average fee around $5 - $7 an article, that could quickly mount up over the course of the month and do not forget there is software out there that actually helps you write articles too.
  • Converting your hobbies or skills into a business. When you are passionate about something it is a lot easier to pass as an expert about that thing. Being an expert means now that you have information about a particular niche that other people will be willing to pay for. All you have to do is set up a few pages for a website and you should be on your way to earning that all important first online dollar.
  • Running a website or a web based business. If you are willing to learn or be taught, you do not have to be an expert in something to run a successful business relating to a particular field.
  • Buying and selling products on auction sites such as eBay and QXL. There is a lot of information online about how this is done and most of it is centered around drop shipping (which is entails you advertising goods and services for a third party and not having to buy any stock upfront nor get involved in the logistics of shipping).

To grasp these opportunities successfully sometimes you will have to be able to stand out from the crowd, try and think outside the box - be creative. Creativity also brings an excitement and freshness to the work. Creating profitable business ideas is not rocket science. Being creative does not necessarily mean you have to invent something from scratch - it could be something as simple as a different sort of packaging, a different type of advertising. For people who have good marketing sense, specifically creative advertising skills, this is a viable option. New business ideas are developed day by day, every day, online business is 24/7! Online product selling is among the most popular internet business ideas.

The internet has created more millionaires than anything else in the past 50 years! Since the beginning a lot of common folks have found a home business opportunity that suits them. An internet based business would mean doing all the work online and hence no paid workers thus keeping costs down and a lion's share of the profits to yourself. The good opportunities are those which allow you to do the same as well as allow you to get out of the home occasionally and meet people of different walks of life.

Probably, the only issue which everyone searching for new business ideas should review systematically is their own strengths and weaknesses and to use this as their key building block and jumping off point. Probably the biggest mistake that many people make is assuming one factor alone will guarantee success. A lot of budding businessmen seem to think if they work hard enough, they will make that first million no matter how lousy their product idea is, how crowded the market is, how much talent they have etc. Unfortunately in the real world there will be a lot more factors at play and there should be an awareness of all of them.

Gone are the days when entrepreneurs used to learn business on the job. This was the most prevalent way of getting business education, though informal. There are numerous successful entrepreneurs who succeeded in business field without any formal business education.

One can learn business on the job as has been demonstrated by a large number of businessmen. That route takes longer and is fraught with uncertainties.

With the complexities of modern business, business education has now been formalized. In order to do business, it is necessary that one should be conversant with so many business practices. Any business is now interdependent on other national and international factors. Formal business learning is now necessary in order to understand business environment as a whole.

Without a business degree from a renowned business school, it is difficult to undertake a business career.

Basis of business education are business and economic practices and theories. These comprise of courses in fields like business accounting and bookkeeping, business strategy, business intelligence, business law, business writing, business consulting, financial management, organizational behavior, business marketing, business planning, international business, micro and macro economics etc.

Business education leads to important degrees like bachelors and masters (MBA). These two are the most important business degrees and are in high demand amongst companies and business establishments.

A university level business qualification leading to an MBA degree is the crown of a business course. MBA programs have been in high demand because of their clout in the market. While business concepts get clear at bachelor’s level, master’s education is a more specialized form of business education.

Generally an MBA program is spread over a two year period after bachelors. Most renowned MBA universities are in North America, UK and Australia. There are certain institutions like Indian Institutes of Management (IITs) in India which are equally reputed.

Some universities also have executive MBA programs which can be completed in one to two years. Executive MBAs are specific to working executives and managers who have been practicing in business field or at jobs for a number of years.

Executive MBA candidates have mostly bachelor level degrees and experience of a number of years. Essential qualifications for an executive MBA program are a combination of education and business experience. Executive MBA programs are generally employer supported and have a shorter duration than regular MBAs.
It is estimated that MBA salaries are generally higher by about 35 per cent than regular graduates. They hold prestigious jobs. They position their businesses strategically and help in the growth of companies and economies.

MBA degrees can be obtained at a university campus, through distance learning MBA, MBA online and part time MBA. With the spread of internet, it has become easier to pursue an MBA degree. It is no longer necessary now to be a full time student at a campus, although this is most desirable.

Almost 43 per cent of MBA universities also have online MBA degree programs. About two thirds of MBA degrees get awarded through distance MBA programs and part time MBA education.

Though expensive, one can study an MBA course on part time basis or through distance learning MBA while on the job. An MBA course enables a person not only to have a successful MBA career, but also helps one to establish own business consulting or any other independent business.

Entry Level Business Jobs

In the Australian Mining industry, getting an entry level mining job is far from being easy, but it certainly can be done with the right information and a bit of research.

Though most of the positions advertised are for skilled workers, there is still a large market for unskilled entry level jobs in the mining business.

Contrary to the belief of many, even some entry level jobs are reasonably well paid in this industry.

Many companies provide you with a training program that greatly helps in gaining experience. These training programs not only prepare you for the job but after your training they may also offer you an appropriate opening in the job market.

You should be prepared to do high-intensity physical work in some fields of employment. But there are other fields open which do not require physical strength though a high mental strength is required which means you should either know about machinery or another prospering field in mining is to drive dump trucks.

You should also be well equipped with the right license and certificates, such as safety tickets and MARCSTA.

Another thing to bear in mind is some jobs require you to be working for quite some time before getting or even expecting rest. Also because sometimes this work requires a very tight schedule often requiring you to work straight for 12 hours and 7 days a week.

Depending on the firm in which you are being employed you can get work shift for 3 weeks on and 1 week off or maybe 9 days on and 5 days off. All of this suggests that entry level job is also quite demanding and go to this business one should be ready for everything.

Working on a mine though facilitates you with good financial basis but the environment in which you will be giving your service is the most taxing part. Following the instructions well under the circumstances with all the safety that can be followed should be constantly in your mind as you will be in fairley treacherous surroundings.

Although unskilled, there are quite a few entry level mining jobs in mining industry. Starting from the top you can be office staff, cleaning staff or catering staff. Other positions that you can go for are laboring position, trade assistants, security, gardeners or drillers assistants.

The more experience you earn in the mining job, you have more chances to earn more money by moving to a higher pay scale and even to a higher grade. It’s not that entry level job does not provide you with enough money, but after getting some experience it definitely increases.

Even after preparing for all the necessities, you still need good advice or the information for entry level mining job, which my article gives you.

If you are looking for international jobs then you have opened a world of opportunities for your desired pay range as well as expanded your horizons to different cultures. In many places overseas, the value of money is much less than the American dollar, and you can find yourself living luxuriously while you work, traveling in your spare time and enjoying the life outside of America.

International jobs may require you to learn a different language, depending on where you go, and it may be necessary for you to learn how to drive on the opposite side of the road also. Outside of these exciting additions to your resume, your skills will be much needed in the field of your choice. Many employment opportunities overseas will pay your expenses while you work and offer you incentives for leisure and travel during your days off.

Another exciting bonus to having an international job is the opportunity to help individuals who can use your training and expertise to improve their company. Also, your specific position may help the company to network with other businesses that are impressed by their ability to have a diverse work force. You will find many doors opening as a result of seeking out employment overseas.

When applying for international jobs, ensure that you have received the education and experience that new job will require of you. You will want to be prepared for the demands of an international job, as those demands may be different from what you are used to in an American job in a different field. Be sure to study the etiquette of the culture that you will be surrounded by to make this experience pleasant and memorable by being respectful of the culture you are visiting.

Many cultures overseas have different business practices in their international jobs, and you will want to learn as much as possible about the way you need to conduct yourself when doing business with individuals from overseas. Depending on where your clients or employers are from, the way you greet them, whether your hands are in your pockets and any gestures that you make with your body will determine if they want to do business with you or not, so be sure that you are aware of this business etiquette.

There are cultures that enjoy negotiating and bargaining, so be sure to brush up on these skills before you settle into your new international job. Depending on the field that you are going into, your bargaining and negotiation skills can be a valuable asset in the company you are employed in, so find out how much you will need to know and exactly how you can brush up on this technique to get you the results you desire.

The Operating Agreement LLC is the most important document after the formation certificate for an LLC business. In this agreement, ownership is established in the business and this document sets forth the rights and responsibilities of the owners.

This document also puts in place an operational structure which is very important because it states how the business takes actions and operates on a daily basis.

Every member, manager and officer must gain a practical understanding of how the business will be managed. If the specific matters are set forth properly in an operating agreement, everyone will be on the same page and this will prevent later problems and misunderstandings.

The limited liability company laws provide some default rules that apply in the event that an operating agreement is not adopted or one does not address a specific issue. However, it is never recommended that you rely on the default rules of your state. Many of them are not fair and do not make sense in a real business setting.

The better method is for the stakeholders in your business to get together and determine a set of rules that makes the most sense given your particular situation. One great thing is that the law acknowledges that there is no one size fits all solution to how a limited liability company can be operated. As a result, owners have great flexibility to determine what rules and limitations apply to their business.

3 Major Business Issues to Address in an Operating Agreement LLC

While an operating agreement can be very simple or very complex, there are a few matters that should be addressed in every one of them.

The first is to have a clear structure for how the limited liability company is owned. Ownership disputes are one of the most litigated issues in small business. By having proper ownership provisions in the governing documents, these can be avoided.

Second, there should be a clear method of how the LLC business becomes authorized to transaction business. There are two general operational structures, member managed and manager managed. With member managed, the owners, called members, are active in managing the business. With manager managed, there is a separate governing body called a Board of Managers. Owners only have management authority if they are elected to serve as a manager.

After a structure is determined, voting requirements need to be spelled out in the document. Many businesses require that owners holding a majority of the ownership need to approve major business decisions, but this percentage can be higher or lower based on each situation.

Third, an operating agreement LLC should address distributions which is when an LLC is authorized to distribute profits of the business out to its members. This typically requires a vote by the members. However, some businesses will create provisional limitations when it is important for a business to conserve capital to grow or others will require mandatory distributions.

SUMMARY

This Article summarizes only the key provisions. A typical operating agreement is at least 8 pages and can be hundreds of pages for a complex business. Because this document is so essential, this is one area where retaining a business lawyer to draft one is well worth the costs.

Marketing


By: Lottie Carrot

How does a business excel? One would say by its quality of products and services. But, how does a customer come to know that the business has these perks to offer? It needs a pair of wings called marketing. Also, with globalization every firm needs to employ various innovative marketing techniques for maturing their business. One of the most prominent styles is inculcating a tradition of issuing promotional products. These build a brand name which benefits the business immensely.

While buying a product every customer demands full worth for their money he or she pays. But to delight one, an extra effort can be made. This is in the form of additional products along with the mainstream ones. These products not only serve well in retaining the current customers but also in attracting new ones. They fall into a variety of categories ranging from a small mug or pen to watches. As far as clients are concerned a certain level of discretion is expected. For instance, it is highly subjective whether a client will like a t-shirt with a certain company logo over it. So, the winning formula needs a perfect rendezvous of taste and need of the end user.

Products such as these are the basic means for raising consciousness among people about the brand of the firm. The products for promotion depend upon the quality and quantity of the clients. Buying expensive products for the regular consumers can be fruitful. On the other hand, smaller customers can be given more moderate valued products. But, one should also not forget to attract a new giant customer by giving a major discount or certain valuable products for free. No matter whatever the choice business should proliferate from one customer to another by word of mouth or a small distributable thing like a pen bearing the company name.

The environment for initiating the distribution of such products is equally important. A party, conference or a large public event can be considered good scenarios where the promotional products can be distributed amongst large chunks of people. This is a best practice when the target market is not concentrated. All in all, the momentum of promotion should be cost effective and there should be a professional approach in terms of marketing. It should lead to increased number of customers and less overhead expenses to deal with. With a well charted methodology promotional products can do wonders.

Now you can reach an even bigger audience and gain more people with using the tools of an aerial ad. An aerial ad can improve your chances of having everything done to make sure that you get the most out of your advertising dollars and not waste money on advertisements that are only going to get you mediocre results. It is time to turn away from the same old boring advertising and toward something unexpected. There are too many advertising sites for help wanted ads to try and figure out which one is best. You could place one advertisement and turn the heads of thousands of people all in one shot.

Isn't it worth it to be able to have more applicants to go through in the hopes that there are a few qualified ones in the bunch rather than having just a few to go through and not really having anyone to meet your needs? An aerial ad may not be the typical approach that employers would take for advertising for an open position. Just maybe a lot more qualified applicants will come through your dog from flying your aerial ad.

There are so many means of advertising out there today that sometimes it takes trying something different to really get people's attention. How many people use the newspaper or internet job sites? How many times have you seen numerous employment agencies say they have work for prospective job seekers but turn out to have nothing or they have a load of unqualified people? People do not want to go with employment agencies because they go through such a long process of paperwork and testing just to get told there is nothing available for them at this time.

Arnold Aerial Advertising is one of the many companies that provide such services. Located in New York, Arnold Aerial Advertising provides nationwide service with affordable rates.

Part Time Job
by: Denise Brienne

f you are a teacher who is in need of a part time job, you are in a unique position. While your work schedule as an educator does give you quite a bit of free time to work another job, your hours are limited. You have a ton of time in the summer, but during the school year you are limited to late afternoon and evening hours. Here are some tips to use to find the perfect part time job, apply for it, and get it!

First, start looking everywhere you go for part time work. Often stores will post "part time help wanted" signs when they need someone. Even if you doubt the job will fit your schedule, inquire. Do not be afraid to check the classifieds or look online for work opportunities as well. Talk to friends and family to see if they know of any opportunities.

If you have an idea in mind about the part time job you would like, the best strategy is to apply in person. Make sure you are dressed appropriately, chances are your school wardrobe will be fine, and head to the store, restaurant, or business to request the application. Ask about openings even if you do not see a sign.

When you fill out the application, make sure you are honest about your availability and current employment as a teacher. Your potential employer needs to know exactly when you are available. If you put that you can work all night long, seven days a week, you better be prepared to be offered an overnight position. Be sure you account for your need for sleep.

If necessary, submit the application with a resume. Most part time jobs do not require a resume, but have it handy when you apply just in case. Be prepared for an on-the-spot interview. Many part time positions are open because the company needs help right away. If you can start right away, you may be offered the job on the spot, but not without an interview.

Remember, the best part time jobs for teachers are those with some measure of flexibility. Try to find a job that can open up some hours for you if you find you have a day off from your teaching position. Look for a job that can increase your hours in the summer. However, the main goal is to find a job. Once you have it, work hard, and chances are high your employer will be willing to be flexible with your schedule as you progress through your working relationship.
