    Medical Billing - How Is The Job Market?
    If you're thinking of getting into the field of medical billing, you'll probably want to know what kind of job market you're looking at in general. Naturally, depending on where you actually live and what skills you have, you'll have a better of worse chance of getting hired. These are just some general observations about the various fields.Let's start with being an actual medical biller, or the person who submits the claims to the medical agencies and companies like Medicare, Medicaid and so on. Because of all the regulations in the industry and all the rules that a medical billing person needs to be aware

    The 7 Surefire Signs of Clients to Avoid
    You’ve heard me get on my soapbox several times about needing to really hone in on your target audience BEFORE you go out there and market yourself extensively. One of the major reasons is that most people try to market to EVERYBODY, fearing that if they niche themselves too much, they’ll narrow down their prospective client pool too much.We now know that this is actually not true, quite the contrary, because experts make more per hour than generalists, the media is ONLY looking for experts and not jacks-of-all-trades, experts stand out in the marketplace and it’s much easier to market to a specif
    According to 2005 data by the American Staffing Association, the staffing industry has grown at a rate of about 8 percent per year for the last several years. Keith Jacob's Missouri-based staffing firm, St. Louis Staffing, leads this trend: His 11-year-old firm of 14 full-time employees and several hundred part-time employees has grown about 20 percent each year since 2004. This in an industry that the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts will create more new jobs than any other industry through 2014.

    Clearly, Jacob knows a good thing when he sees it.

    A 2006 Winning Workplaces/FORTUNE Small Business Best Boss, he is one of the youngest entrepreneurs to be honored by our annual workplace recognition program. His efforts to supply talented workers to clients in the light industrial sector in St. Louis as well as the Missouri communities of Columbia, Mexico and O'Fallon – where the company maintains satellite offices – earned him a spot on the St. Louis Business Journal's "40 Under 40" list.

    How to Clean Marble Floors
    An area that causes some cleaning contractors to scratch their heads, is the best way to clean marble floors. Asking janitorial supply houses or stores that sell marble flooring will almost always lead to different answers on the best way to clean and take care of marble floors. Suggestions on cleaning vary from using an all-purpose cleaner to plain water to vinegar. But these are not the ingredients that you need to care for the marble floors in your buildings.Begin with by realizing that marble is a natural stone so you need to treat it differently than other types of flooring. Stone floors are sensitive

    Chair Buying Guide: Community Centre, Hall, Church
    1. Establish a brief and stick to it.What do you want your chairs to do?Comfort: Not many suppliers will sell you a chair that is ‘uncomfortable’, so ask your supplier what makes their chairs comfortable. Ideally, ergonomically shaped seats and backs provide the best comfort over a long sitting. Beware of thick upholstery; it may appear attractive but is often of a very cheap grade that is prone to premature degradation. Thin, dense foams offer greater comfort over time, and will last far longer.Storage: If you have limited storage space, perhaps you require folding or stacking chairs. Sh

    In speaking with Jacob, one gets the sense that accolades don't matter that much – certainly not as much as fulfilling his motto of "working hard to keep you working" by matching workers' skills with client employers' needs. These days Jacob, who founded St. Louis Staffing after holding management positions at PepsiCo and Lanter Delivery Systems, is on a mission to diversify workplaces.

    "We've introduced the notion of a diverse workforce to several of our customers," he says. "They thought that the language barrier would be so prohibitive that they wouldn't even entertain bringing in people who didn't speak English [as a first language]. But just by our cajoling, we've had several customers who now very much enjoy having a more diverse workforce, and who request the opportunity to build a bigger Hispanic workforce within their own operation."
