Four Simple Steps To Better Results With Your Resume
Is every job description you read the same? No.Is every job you submit your resume to the same? Of course they aren’t.If all these job descriptions are different, why do you submit the same resume?Every day, people send the same generic resume out as though each position was identical and each employer was attempting to hire identical skills and attributes. Too often, the results they receive are like the broken watch that is right twice a day—hit or miss success.They list their name, address, phone numbers and email address, list an objective, education, and chronology of experience with dates of employment. The resume includes some successes or accomplishments. This is their resume.In the days prior to computers when changing a resume required you to re-type different versions, this made sense. Today, when computers allow you to customize, spell and grammar check documents so easily, you are missing out on opportunities and costing

ers the business benefits. This would be considered the new end to end business process.

This end to end business process is supported by four key technologies that are installed in your business and should be evaluated to ensure synergy. These four key communications technologies, internet, office, voice and CRM, make up an end to end business process and are considered to be the IOVC layer.

• Internet - arguable every thing runs through the internet. The internet consist of more then a website, it is also web services and your email strategy. Your customers may only come through the internet. Today if you are not on the internet, you are missing business exposure, revenue and your potential customers are missing you.

For Effective Decisions, Look Beyond Career Stereotypes
You've probably been taught not to stereotype people based on race, religion or sex. But when you make a career or business decision, do you still make decisions based on stereotypes?"Insurance sales reps must be gregarious."Hal, a successful insurance agent for many years, has developed a portfolio of loyal, happy clients. Hal can be described as an introvert. He rarely speaks unless spoken to, and then he speaks briefly and softly. His clients have learned that he's a caring, dedicated agent who never misses a detail."Accountants sit quietly and crunch numbers."These days, accountants, especially those in the large firms, have to become experts at client relations. Often they're expected to steer business towards the firm's consulting division."Want to travel? Be a travel agent!"Once upon a time, when nobody worried about security and airlines gave us more than an inch of legroom, I loved to travel. When I sought ways to com

Ever wonder if the latest greatest technology can help you? Do you wonder what would happen if you step back and took a look at your business process workflow in an end to end manner? Would you learn how to be more efficient and more profitable? When you hear business process improvement (BPI) and business process management (BPM), do you know the difference between the two? If you do know, then are you like most business owners, wondering what problems could be solved and what components are part of a BPI/BPM Assessment and if your business could benefit by a business process impact study?

To do this we first need to look at your business process workflow in an end to end manner. Consider that a task is a collection of organized processes that you the business owner or manager organized to complete one of your business activities. It does not matter the size of your business, your workflow tasks include processes that will occur in a sequential or parallel manner. Your sequential processes operate and are linked/worked one after the other. Your parallel processes occur simultaneously and reflect the way you operate daily. Large or small, your business process workflow contains many of these tasks, subtasks and steps.

After your business has been operating for a while, business process become out of sync because the normal execution and interaction of your team with customers and suppliers means unknowns occur and business workflow by their nature become complex, disjointed and out of sync. The ability to manage your processes and keep them operating at peak efficiency becomes harder and it then becomes harder to keep your business healthy. Trying to keep your personnel in sync with your business processes and their supporting technologies is even harder.

To understand this more, you need to understand the makeup or architecture of your business and what tools would be considered. This architecture and tools are in use everyday and hence drive your efficiencies. The architecture consists of the following:

• Communications Tools - Your communication tools consist of the processes, methodologies and workflow software applications that your organization uses on a daily basis to conduct your business. This layer is used by your personnel daily and your customers experience the results daily. This layer drives your business and your workflow management.

• Support Technologies - Your technology supports your business communication tools and provides specific capabilities that individually, hinder or enable your business operation at a system or computer level. Support technologies consist of your vendor products, their proprietary or open source capabilities. Included at this layer are the standards that may drive your business. This layer supports and drives your communication tools and your business environment.

• Integration Collaboration - The integration and collaboration of your communication tools across your supported technologies has the potential to provide your business with a major positive impact. This integrated layer, BPM workflow, SOA, service oriented application as examples, drives and delivers the business benefits. This would be considered the new end to end business process.

The Power of Graphic Design
Basically, we can find anything that has ‘graphic design’ (in term of composition on a surface) in our daily basis. For example, take a look at your shirt, you can see the composition on it (buttons, pocket(s), motifs, color(s)). Or try to find any other items, let say… your television, it consist of composition as well (the screen, the button(s), etc.). It also happens to any other items (clocks/watches, magazines, signage, any apparel, households, etc.)When you buy something (well.., almost anything), what is the most get your attention? I bet it must be the design (in term of composition of any element on it). In the contrary, if you choose to buy specific items (cellular phone in this case) for certain features, would you buy it if that item has an ugly design?! Maybe you would, but at least you think twice before you make your decision. Things that might bother you could be: the color(s), how the way they composed the screen, keypads, buttons. It just not

The Purpose of Ad Campaigns - Part 1
PURPOSE OF CAMPAIGNEstablishing ReputationAdvertising is not always required for the purpose of increasing the sales of a product, although that must be the final effect of the advertising if it does its work. It frequently happens that business organizations at various times in their careers need advertising for the extension of values along more general lines in connection with the organization and its market. Sometimes it is necessary to forestall difficulty by establishing relations of confidence with the public, not merely in connection with the product but in connection with the organization itself. It is frequently necessary to find other uses for a product and impress them upon the consumer.In the last 15 years of rapidly increasing activity along the internet lines, many concerns which have started and gained a considerable amount of business have been obligated to set themselves at work to devis

Minding Your Own Brand - Why Can't I Get That With Whipped Cream?
A few weeks ago, some friends and I were on our yearly trip to Nantucket. According to ritual we stopped by our favorite ice cream shop as soon as we got off the boat. My friend asked for whipped cream on his small cup of chocolate ice cream. The clerk proceeded to tell him that “whipped cream only comes with sundaes.” Thinking it was a cost issue, he offered to pay the extra twenty-five cents that they charge to put candy on a cup of ice cream, which he felt would surely cover the cost of a squirt of whipped cream. The clerk refused the offer saying that was the “candy charge” and there is “no way” to charge him for just whipped cream. She went on to say that “the shop policy is that whipped cream can only be put on sundaes.” So in order to get whipped cream. he would have to order a sundae with no hot fudge, no nuts and no cherry.He settled for his chocolate ice cream without the added calories, but for the rest of the weekend we all had to listen as he told

Business Cards - This Is The Way
Business cards can become excellent advertisements for your business if they are distributed to potential customers in the vicinity of your premises. They can be handed out to passersby in the local shopping malls or in the car parks.Design and print your cards yourself to save expenses.

• Office - your office operations are driven by a set of business processes that whether formally designed, inherited or grew out of spontaneous interaction due to day to day demands, they are the heart beat of your operation, which means they drive the efficiency of your operation.

• Voice - people talking to people ensure services, problems and solutions are handled in a timely and accurate manner. Your telephone system must provide more then just voice communication, it should provide value added mobility services that sets you apart from your competition.

• CRM – Customers contact you/your people to buy products and services and to rectify a problem. This customer interaction should be used to build a strong customer relationship. Your people, using your customer interaction process will make all the difference in retaining or losing customers.

Understanding the architecture, the technology and the IOVC components, you can now make a fair assessment about the benefits of learning whether a business process improvement (BPI) and business process management (BPM) assessment can help you.

If you train yourself, you would learn what a business process is and you would learn how to define your key business processes. You and your team would be able to define what tools are used in identifying your business processes. The team would learn how to document the existing business process by developing process maps. More importantly, they would be able to identify which workflow tasks or steps add value. Then the team would identify and work to eliminate those business steps that fail to add value. At this point in the assessment, the team starts to transition from identifying and knowing what steps to improve and moves to working on a deployment solution.

In deployment the team collectively understands and discusses what to do when the identified solution conflicts with business policy or a current external process. The goal of the team is to make it functional within your organization. The solution then gets implemented and becomes operational.

On an ongoing basis the team needs to ensure continued success, the group must manage the business process. This requires a complete understanding of current routines, future goals and the gaps in between. This is considered business process management or BPM.

Another factor to consider, when learning about BPI and BPM is you should consider how you should learn? You should learn in the manner that is related to how you work. For BPI/BPM assessments to be effective, the best way to learn is in a situational manner which enables you to identify and manage your specific business processes. You may want to consider having customized courses or consulting that can be defined to target your specific situation.

In summary, implementation of a business process workflow management system with proper understanding, people, education and learning in a situational environment, one can first identify the process, and then analyze the process, move on to improving and deploying the process. Finally, you monitor and manage the process to make radical improvements within your business.
