You’re Job Search for Employment in New Fields

Thursday, March 6th, 2008

When changing fields, the first thing you’ll want to do once you’ve decided which direction to go, is refine your job search. Employment is very commonly found most quickly by those who really have a good idea what they want to do. Of course, there are many nuances that can be decided upon when sorting through the first results of a well-conducted job search.

Employment in a radically new field that is new to you is most often an exercise in really getting a good idea of what makes you happy in the workplace, balanced against what you’re good at. This often means putting together a rather lengthy list of each, as well as any ideas you have about what sort of job might appeal to you.

What Are Recruitment Agencies?

Tuesday, March 4th, 2008

Below, is a snippet of an article I wrote about recriutment agencies.

 Both employers and employment candidates have learned over the last few years that the best way to find an employee or an employer is to search through recruitment agencies. Recruitment agencies offer a myriad of possibilities to both potential employees and employers: information about job trends, communication facilitation, and skills matching; these things were previously either unavailable to job seekers and employers or they were not as obvious as they needed to be. In either case, recruitment agencies have successfully gained popularity for their ability to provide these important services to companies and job candidates worldwide.

Basketball good for central Iowa tourism

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

One of the big draws for central Iowa tourism is the basketball team that was recently located here. This league was developed to act much as the Iowa Cubs acts for the Chicago cubs, it is more or less a farm team except that this basketball team serves two pro teams not just one. The excitement builds when one of the pro stars gets hurt and needs to come down to the lower league to do his recovery. The fans get to see big name stars play in person without having to drive all the way to Chicago, Minneapolis, Kansas City, or St Louis – all the area cities that have pro basketball teams. The tickets are not nearly as expensive and the crowds are smaller. This lets the fans actually get close to the players to collect autographs. It also allows fans to be able to see some of the local players improve and that develops loyalty to that player and by extension the pro team that the player transfers to when he has earned the right to do so. This is a winning operation for both fans and teams. The teams actually make money while having a place for an underperforming player to heal.

Employing the Newest Technology for your Conference Room

Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008

How many meetings have you attended where there was a scrabbling for the lights at the beginning and end of a PowerPoint presentation? One new addition to the meeting room technology industry is interactive room-control systems. A room control system will permit you to control most of the Video Conferencing in the boardroom from a single centralized area.
A room control system ends all that rushing to switch on the lights, complaints that the thermostat should be turned down, and questions about who is nearest the projector (and who knows where the button is to turn it on).
Another more fundamental addition to Video Conferencingtechnology in meeting rooms is a dedicated computer. This is especially convenient for those that tend to spend a lot of time presiding over meetings. Instead of having to unplug and haul a computer into the conference room (or, worse, calling the tech department to set one up in there for you), all you have to do is bring a CD of your presentation, or find the presentation via the web. This makes setting up for meetings fast and unproblematic, and also helps with Video Conferencing, as everything is already in its place.
With the bills of travel ever-increasing, video conferencing is becoming more and more important, especially in larger companies with nationwide (or world-wide) branches. While the conventional teleconference still has its place in a meeting, and probably always will, being able to see and speak easily to your coworkers or clients can be very important.

Another standard in Video Conferencing for boardrooms is a digital projector. For those that frequently use PowerPoint presentations as a meeting tool, a projector is a total necessity. A digital projector will show any computer application on a white board or screen (or even a light-colored wall), helping you to impart information, presentations, even digital films or satellite tv. While digital projectors used to be prohibitively expensive, especially for smaller businesses, their price of Video Conferencing is falling as technology develops, making them an easily obtainable addition to the meeting audio visual system of any company.

A new variation on the electronic white board is the PDP, or Plasma Display Panel. A plasma display panel is fundamentally a huge, but much slimmer, flat-screen television or computer monitor. PDPs are usually 42″ to 50″, and have a very clear, intense screen, making them great for video conferencing. As PDPs are a comparatively new addition to the Video Conferencing market, they’re also very costly, ranging from about $8,000 to $20,000. For around $4,000 more, companies can invest in an interactive overlay for the PDP. This is a somewhat small investment when compared to the price of the PDP and when bearing in mind the many practical uses of a PDP with an interactive overlay. An interactive overlay will add touch sensibility and annotation abilities, letting you to use your PDP just like an interactive whiteboard.

All Buildings Are Not Alike

Thursday, October 18th, 2007

As well as understanding the space needs of your proposed office space, it is important to understand the shape, office design and efficiency of a building.

A common fallacy is to believe that one building is much like another. Actually, the design and shape of buildings vary substantially in terms of their overall efficiency and effectiveness, and consequently, productivity.

For example, you may choose to rent 50,000 sq ft in one building compared to 50,000 sq ft in another because it might appear to be cheaper. But take a close look at the design. You may be looking at a long, thin Sixties building, or a deeper-spaced building from the 70s/80s. In contrast, today’s buildings tend to have central atria and are doughnut shaped.

The irony is that the more modern the building, the less efficient they are, because by law, you have to provide defined routes of escape between protected core areas. But these diagrams (to come) show you how much of the space you’re paying for is wasted. It is your space, and you’re indeed paying for it; you can’t use it all, however, and you have to provide the corridors. So remember that when you’re comparing buildings, it’s not just about the rental, it’s also about the efficiency.

A key aspect of efficiency is the planning module. Buildings are usually built based on a 1.5 metre grid, so you can create office design in blocks of 1.5m. For example, you can have an office of 3m by 4.5m because the window mullions tie in with the ceiling grids, and tie in with the floor grids.

However, that planning module depends entirely on the age and style of the building. And if you’re considering developing a converted period building in London as an office location, your planning module is likely to be more complex.

In general, the more efficient the building, the more useful space you will have with minimal wastage. If it is less efficient, with, for example, a number of columns in the structure, little nooks and crannies and pockets of dead space, that reduces the number of employees you can get into the building. It also means more expense in having to buy bespoke, fitted furniture to fit the awkward spacing.

A Guide to the Conclusion Section of Your Speech

Wednesday, October 10th, 2007

THE CONCLUSION, OR PERORATION

This is the summing up, or culmination, of all that has gone before, and should be marked by great earnestness. It is the most vital part of a speech, the supreme moment when the speaker is to drive his message home and make his most lasting impression. This calls for the very best that is in a man. The style of conclusion may vary according to circumstances, but generally it should be short, simple and earnest.

The customary method is to recapitulate or summarize what has been said, in order to impress it vividly upon the mind of the audience.

Get Your Office Move Wrong and It Can Cost You Millions

Monday, October 1st, 2007

Tags:

I have been working in this field for 25 years, and I am constantly surprised by the naiveté of companies in the way they go about moving office, and the costs they are ultimately willing to commit over 10-15 years without having any idea of what they’ll need in terms of office design and build, and how critical that decision will ultimately be in the development of the business.

Office space is expensive! Get it wrong, and you will literally be paying for it for years. Your staff will be unhappy, demotivated by their surroundings, and in the long run, your business cannot reach its potential.

Consider the long-term costs to the business of acquiring a building with too much – or even too little – space. If you were to consider current rental costs in London’s West End, they’re in excess of £100, £115, £120 per square foot, and the cost of getting it wrong over 15 years could be £800 or even £1500. Multiply that by 10,000 sq ft, and you’re talking about massive overpayments of £16m before office design costs..

Let’s stick with smaller 15-year terms and suggest that £50 a square foot is a middle income rent. If you took £50 per square foot for a 5000 sq ft building and get it wrong by say, 10%, the cost overrun will be £5m over a ten year term, or £7.5m over a 15-year term.

Why you’re better off using specialists: they understand the bigger picture, and are more efficient and cost effective

Thursday, September 27th, 2007

A specialist interior office design company has a greater understanding of what an organisation’s future needs will be, and can put in place the most appropriate IT cooling and power management solutions for the organisation’s future growth.

And because it already has partnerships with organisations such as APC and Rittal, it is more likely to be able to save time and money by doing it right first time around.Let’s take a closer look at some of the costs involved. In addition to the cost of  building walls and floors, the following costs have to be considered for interior office design:

  • air conditioning, which might cost up to £15,000
  • an extra £12,000 for uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems.
  • Communications for a data centre of 5-8 server racks would be around £10000, plus all your network costs

In total, that’s pretty close to £50,000, just for a medium-sized, server room facility. Now, you wouldn’t ask your facilities manager to design £50,000 worth of office, kitchen, or meeting room space because that’s just not what they do. So why would you ask your communications people to put their signature against that amount of money because they ‘do’ IT?

The Solution to Feeling Good Whilst at Work

Tuesday, September 18th, 2007

Our company is known throughout the industry for its efficiency and common sense cost-cutting measures. Long ago, we streamlined every aspect of our corporation. We get more done with less money than most of the businesses out there, and we get better every day. Not to brag, but money saving tips from our corporation are viewed as invaluable among many of our rivals. That is why so many people get surprised when they see our office design. In a day of small cubicles, they are definitely nice by contemporary standards. We have nice office chairs and gorgeous office desks. Even our junior partners have office computer desks made out of authentic cherry wood stained a beautiful, rich, dark red.

Naturally, I have been asked why I spend so much money on office design when I’m willing to cut expenses basically everywhere else. After all, isn’t one office desk about as good as another? The answer is no. I actually discovered this trick while I was working at home on my office computer desk. At the time, I was somewhat of a cheapskate. Working as a junior executive trying to make it into the big time, I wouldn’t waste money on practically anything. I would not even spend money on nice office computer desks – I was working at the dining room table! Then one day, the stresses of not having a well set up workspace got to me. My kids were too loud, my house was too cluttered, and I was completely overwhelmed.

I set up my spare bedroom as in office space and invested in a nice office desk, executive chair, and everything else that goes with it. Suddenly, my productivity was way up! Sitting at professional looking office design just simply makes you feel more professional. It is as simple as that. You don’t want to clutter or scratch the nice wood, so you keep your supplies well-organized and arranged. You feel like a professionals, so you work like a professional, manage your time like a professional, and even dress like a professional.

This is why I decided to bring in such nice office desks. I didn’t want to hand down dress codes, and I didn’t want to lecture people on proper office decorum. I simply wanted to create an environment where professionalism was taken for granted! When you treat your employees with respect, you get results. When looked at that way, expensive office desks are a small sacrifice.
