    Wholesale Clothing Tips For Retailers
    Wholesale clothing seems to be abundant these days. A quick click of the mouse and a retailer can find thousands of sources for wholesale clothing.But what retailers need the most, are strategies for selling the wholesale clothing which they buy.Here are my top tips for selling clothing out of a store:Clothing Sale Tip #1Always have a well lit store. You can have the nicest clothing in your store, but unless your customers get a good look at it they won’t buy it.Clothing Sale Tip #2Separate the clothing by brand. Your customers know the brands they want. H

    "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."

    Storage and Warehousing and the Importance of Following Health and Safety Guidelines
    Storage and warehousing can be a dangerous business if important safety rules are not adhered to. A recent serious injury to an employee of a warehousing company has prompted the Health and Safety Executive to remind companies of the necessity of following its rules.The recent accident that resulted in the victim fracturing his pelvis and crushing his vertebra after a fall, demonstrates the importance of supervision and planning heights properly. The accident occurred outside normal working hours at the storage and warehousing company based in the UK.According to the He
    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:

    1. 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.

    2. 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.

    3. 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)

    Networking is Like Black Jack
    Playing Black Jack (aka ‘21') requires that you play by the rules, or you ruin it for the other players. When the dealer has a card showing between 2 and 6, you never risk going over 21. That's the rule. More times than not, you will come out ahead and so will everyone at the table.You need to know and follow the rules in networking, too, or you risk upsetting everyone at the table! For example, when you have 30 seconds to talk about your business, respect that time.When you follow the rules consistently in Black Jack – combined with some skill - you win. When you follow the rul

    Houston Economic Rebound; retail franchise locations
    Houston has always been a boom or bust economy. Yet it is America’s third largest city with 5.5 million people. The ten-year economic cycles have been caused by oil price fluctuations. But as Houston diversifies its economy and matures it employs larger and larger percentages of folks in retail and service sectors. Let’s discuss some other economic issues during the last recession in Houston.

    Advertising On Talk Radio May Be Better Than Ads On Music Radio
    Recently, I have noticed some of my radio habits when driving in my car. When I'm listening to music I tend to switch radio stations whenever a commercial comes on. When I’m listening to talk radio I tend to leave the dial as is whether I’m listening to a talk show or whether a commercial is playing.I've been thinking about why this is the case and if other radio listeners have the same tendencies as I do. Here is what I think: When I’m in the mood for music, I want to hear music; I don't want to listen to radio advertisements. When I listen to talk radio, I get immersed in the topic being

(PD) You get the idea - it makes sense to get more than one person working on your behalf but only if you carefully qualify the recruiters you decide to use. Some questions you might ask:

    • How long have you been recruiting in this field?
    • How many candidates like me have you placed in the last year?
    • What sort of companies will you be contacting about me?
    • Tell me something about yourself and your philosophy of recruiting and placement.

    If you decide to use a recruiter in your job search, it makes sense to have one that fits you well, and I hope that this article has given you some ideas about how to find the right one.
