5 Tips on Web Site Building and Web Stats

By Devin Jopp, SCORE COO

The most basic Web site services are free services. These services are easy to use, but limited in the amount of space and bandwidth. They typically also place advertisements on your site to offset their cost.

The next step up are services that charge a monthly fee. In exchange, you get a greater amount of space, bandwidth and no advertisements. All of the domain registrars like Network Solutions and Go Daddy offer Web development solutions.

The next option, building your own Web site, provides the most flexibility. You can either build your own or hire a consultant to do it for you. Once you have selected your domain registrar and hosting company (ISP), you can begin programming your new Web site. Tools like Microsoft Front Page or Macromedia Dreamweaver provide a familiar Windows front-end that automatically generates html code and allows you to click and drag items in order to create your Web site. Or, you can hire a Web design firm to do this for you.

 Get bids for Web site development at www.elance.com. Simply post your requirements and wait for the bids to come in, or get estimates from firms in your city.

Analyze your Web traffic and track statistics. Google Analytics offers a free web analytic solution. StatCounter is a free package you access by logging in and copying code into your Web site. You can also buy an off-the-shelf package like Webtrends that is installed on the server and tracks critical stats like the number of visitors, highest ranked pages, etc. Many of the site builder tools mentioned earlier also provide options for tracking Web stats.

5 Tips for Taking Your Small Business Online

  1. Your product line should be able to be delivered economically and conveniently through the mail or over the Internet.
  2. The Web allows you to market to customers outside your geographical location. Your product should appeal to people nation-or-continent-wide.
  3. Compare new “technology” costs to current bricks and mortar costs, e.g.: rent, labor, inventory and printing costs.
  4. Realize that the World Wide Web levels the playing ground—you can look like a big company with a great Web site. 
  5. Draw visitors to your site cheaply. Establish and grow alliances that will hotlink to your site for free.

How to Build Strategic International Relationships

by John Astor

Just learning how to shake hands in career world doesn’t make you culturally aware. A few learned copy-cat mannerisms and a couple opening lines will not put the global executive into the good graces of their regional leaders. It used to be fine, considering the small amount of time that leaders spent abroad. But more and more, as we see top-level local management strategies that have transparent relationships with each other for alignment and success, building relationships that are strong and solid are absolutely essential in today’s highly competitive marketplace.

In Japan, during the 1980’s boom years, foreigners were falling over each other to grab some of the success that Japanese businesses had created. Many managers learned a little bit of the language, how to eat soup, etc., but they missed a great opportunity to build real bonds. Unfortunately, those bonds could have also helped the Japanese businesses during the ‘90’s.

Today, we are in the midst of a series of dynamics such as, rising new economies, immediate access to customers and speed decision making, so creating and nurturing long lasting connections is a must. Maya Hu-Chan of the Global Leadership Development Center so correctly states, ‘In my work with multinational corporations, my global clients have often pointed out that building partnerships is one of the most important competencies for global leaders of the future’.

To develop powerful partnerships and prevent problematic situations, integrate these five pieces of advice.
  • Have a real interest in other cultures and learn about them through food, the arts and music, literature and the areas that give uniqueness to their place the human experience.
  • Build partnerships wherever you go with ease. You never force a friendship. You develop it. Become an open access point of assistance to your host reports, superiors and especially those horizontally. Encourage others to do the same.
  • Listen, Listen, Listen! This may be one of the great challenges for human beings, but it is an essential skill for trust. Don’t just listen with your ears, but apprehend the individual with all of your faculties. Go beyond their special behaviors and reach for what they are trying to communicate.
  • Never be patronizing. This may be very difficult for some cultures that have been taught they are the best. Be careful not to appear paternal or on a higher level than other people. Also pay close attention to how you phrase comments about their culture. This is also true for spouses of expatriates.
  • Get out of your shell. The higher you go up in an organization, the more insulated you become. Mingle with different people with different interests and you will be well prepared to meet the exciting challenges of interacting with all types of personalities from all over the world.

By putting these five points into action will give you a basis for working in all environments and with all cultures. Of course, each culture has unique aspects that give them their own perspectives on business and life, and we are all unique individuals with unique behaviors, but having a real sense of how we can make deeper connections profoundly helps us move forward together.

GE Buys 25,000 Electric Cars To Kick-Start Market !!!

Author: bbc.co.uk

Lowongan Kerja - It hopes that its purchase of 25,000 electric vehicles will drive the development of a network of charging stations, and other related products, which it produces.

Its first order is for 12,000 Chevrolet Volts, which will start to roll off GM's production lines this month.

GE will use them as company cars and lease them to corporate customers.

It intends to buy the 25,000 cars by 2015. It will use some of them in its own fleet.
The rest will go into its Capital Fleet Services business, which leases cars to corporate customers.

GM said it wanted to "lead wide-scale electric adoption and generate growth for its businesses".

GE's Jeff Immelt said he hope the purchase would "move electric vehicles from anticipation to action".

It predicts that the nascent electric vehicle market could be worth $500m (£310m; 366m euros) in revenue to GM over the next three years.

General Motors Getting Ready For Profitable Future

Author: bbc.co.uk


Job Indonesia - A year-and-a-half after the US automotive giant General Motors (GM) filled for bankruptcy protection, the Cadillac factory in Lansing, Michigan, is still churning out cars. - Job Vacancy

The Grand River Assembly, which lies about 90 miles west of Detroit, is gearing up production, hiring hundreds of new workers and getting ready to start producing a Cadillac that will be both smaller and much less thirsty than those it used to make.

Lowongan Kerja - The model is a powerful symbol of a new beginning for the bruised carmaker after last year's $50bn - £31bn at current exchange rates - bail-out by the US taxpayer.

But symbolism will not do for GM's new chief executive Dan Akerson, a former telecoms executive and naval officer known for his keen, at times even combative, focus on figures.

They are beginning to look impressive. GM made $2bn net profits during the July to September quarter, a dramatic turnaround from a near-$1bn loss during the same period a year earlier.

"The results of the third quarter clearly point to the amount of progress that GM has made," says Mr Akerson, who also has a background in private equity investment.

With sales remaining strong during the last three months of the year, GM expects to make a profit for the year as a whole.

"Although we're a different company, it's worth noting that last time GM reported a profitable year was 1994," Mr Akerson says.

Making better cars
Dan Akerson, chief executive, General Motors Mr Akerson is known as a combative executive who focuses closely on financial figures
With Mr Akerson at the helm, GM is getting ready for the second leg of a long and painful journey.

The first, which was run by his predecessors Fritz Henderson and Ed Whitacre, was all about pushing through a harsh restructuring, all under the watchful eye of a board of directors representing the US government's 61% stake in the group.
The second phase of GM's revival is about to start as the government and its co-owners - the Canadian government and the union - get ready to pass majority control of the company back to private investors.

And it is clear that this phase will have to be product-led.

In recent years, the quality of many of the models made by GM has fallen short of the quality products delivered by many of its rivals, and so the company reputation has suffered a great deal.

Mr Akerson is eager to fix that.

He knows well that building quality cars can be costly, so this year GM has spent close to $5bn on capital expenditure.

Next year, and in the years ahead, Mr Akerson is expected to spend even more - and he is eager to pass on the message.

"We've just started doing a better job in marketing our brands to consumers," he says.

International challenge
But making better cars will not be enough without further changes to GM's corporate culture, as well as a bolstering of morale in a company that has seen tens of thousands of jobs go in a matter of months.
Improved financial risk management is also vital, according to Mr Akerson, who has been pushing for closer monitoring of what profit margins different units within the firm deliver, as well as for a more deliberate approach to currency risk.
And of course, Mr Akerson says, "we continue to be vigilant in reducing cost".
But the biggest challenge will be to rebuild relations with both customers and government officials, workers and dealers, across the pond.
This is particularly important in Germany, the largest car market in Europe, where deep wounds were inflicted last year during lengthy talks with both the unions and the government.
Mr Akerson is fully aware of what needs to be done. "We know we have much work to do. We still have to fix Europe," he says.
Private investors, preparing to buy GM shares, will hope he also knows how to do it.

GM Shares Jump After Record Public Offering

Author: bbc.co.uk


Indonesia Job - Shares in General Motors (GM) have risen 3.6% on the first day of trading following the carmaker's record public share offering.

Job Indonesia - Shares closed at $34.19 in New York from a start of $33, although they did reach a high of $35.60 during the day. - Job Vacancy

GM raised $20.1bn through its offering, making it the largest share sale in the US to date.

President Barack Obama said the firm was on track to recover the government money spent on bailing it out.

The amount raised could rise to a world record $23.1bn if underwriters exercise an option to sell more shares.

Surprisingly strong investor demand had allowed the carmaker to lift the price of the shares on offer to $33 from the $26 it had initially hoped for.

GM is returning to the market after a $50bn government bail-out.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed up 173 points at 11,183, a rise of 1.6%.
Mr Obama said: "Today, one of the toughest tales of the recession took another big step toward becoming a success story.

"American taxpayers are now positioned to recover more than my administration invested in GM, and that's a good thing."

Canada, which pumped in $10bn and owns 12% of the stock, said it too would seek to recover some of its investment by selling part of its stake.

Different ballpark
 
The day's trading began on Wall Street when GM chief executive Dan Akerson rang the opening bell on the New York Stock Exchange.
Continue reading the main story

Analysis

This is a very bright start.
The share offering is more ambitious than anyone expected, and the demand for stock seems overwhelming.
Not bad for a company that almost went bankrupt 18 months ago.
But there's still a long way to go if the taxpayers are to get all their money back. The bailout cost them $50bn.
It's thought the government will have to sell its remaining stock at around $50 a share for several years to recoup its investment.
But the bailout was never only about GM. The Obama administration argued that the entire American car industry, with all its associated businesses, was at stake.
So far, the evidence suggests that something is working.
A general revival does seem to be under way, at least in terms of the profitability and competitiveness of the companies involved.
But the cost has been huge: tens of thousands of workers were laid off, plants closed, familiar brands ditched and auto dealers told to look for other work.
And the bailout itself remains hugely controversial, with the administration's critics still seeing it as an unwarranted intrusion of big government into the free market.
It's clearly in the interests of both GM and the White House for the nickname "Government Motors" to become a thing of the past.
"There's a lot of work to do, but today is the beginning of the new company," said Mark Reuss, GM's North American president.
Government officials said the company's strong market debut showed they had made the right choice in rescuing the carmaker.
"This is a bit better than people had been projecting. As to a year ago, it's not even in the same ballpark," Ron Bloom, the Treasury official in charge of the GM investment told Reuters.
"A year ago, people said, 'You have no exit, you have no strategy. This company is not fixed'."
The carmaker has raised $20.1bn from the sale of the shares. However, an over-allotment option, which will be settled over the next 30 days, would add $3bn to that figure, taking GM beyond the $22.1bn raised by the Agricultural Bank of China's market launch.
The share sale, known as an initial public offering (IPO), will allow the US government reduce its current 61% stake in the company to as low as 33%.
GM returned to profit this year for the first time since 2004. The company made $5bn during the first nine months of this year.
Scott Painter from the US car comparison site Truecar.com believes the IPO is a sign of how well the economic recovery is going.
"I think GM having a strong IPO and pricing it at the high end of the range certainly speaks well of America and confidence in America, and GM is a really good indicator of everything that we've been through over the last couple of years and how the recovery is working out," he said.

Why 'Yes' is so hard for the Irish

Author: bbc.co.uk

Job Indonesia - In a radio interview, the Governor of the Bank of Ireland Patrick Honohan confirmed what most people expected - that some kind of bail-out for Ireland seems to be on the way. They may dress it up as a loan for the banks but it will involve tens of billions of euros. Up until the governor's comments, the Irish government was sticking to its line that it did not need rescuing. - Job Vacancy

Lowongan Kerja - And indeed even after the governor had spoken, Irish Finance Minister Brian Lenihan said that his country was not yet at the point of taking a substantial international loan.

Europe's crisis managers, who have been a busy bunch this year, had not envisaged a situation where a country did not want to be bailed out. Quite the opposite. In setting up various rescue mechanisms they feared the profligate, or those who ran up bad debts, would beat a path to their door.

So when last weekend various officials - some close to the European Central Bank - began briefing that it was only a matter of time before Ireland was bailed out, they did not expect such stout resistance from Dublin.

So why did Ireland try and hold out?

The Irish government is fragile. It faces a difficult by-election. Its hold on power is slight. A bail-out, however dressed up, is a humiliation. It is a judgment on the way the government has run the country.
There is a stigma to being rescued. The image of the Celtic Tiger has long disappeared but the Irish still cherish the memory. For some years they had the fastest-growing country in Europe. To be bailed out would wound Irish pride.

Then there are conditions. One of the reasons that Ireland did so well was inward investment - particularly from the US. Large multinational companies were attracted to Ireland by a corporate tax rate of 12.5%. Others in Europe - including the French and Germans - dislike the tax. They believe it gives Ireland an unfair advantage.
Many government officials in Ireland fear that one condition of a rescue would be to give up their low corporate tax rate. A few days ago, Ireland's Europe Minister, Dick Roche, bridled at the very suggestion. "We are in charge of our own taxes," he said. We shall see what the terms of any loan are.
European Commissioner for the Economy Olli Rehn (archive 
image)
Then there is the not-so-little matter of sovereignty. Already Irish commentators have focused on the EU Economics Commissioner, Ollie Rehn. When they were not reporting on his visit to an expensive restaurant, they asked: "Is he the most important man in Ireland?" Is this unelected official essentially running the country, was the tone of some of the comment.

There are stirrings of unease here at what Ireland may be giving away. When it was announced that a team of experts from the EU, the IMF and the ECB were coming to Dublin, the opposition leader referred to them as "officials arriving to dictate terms of a bail-out to the government".

Ireland for a long period was enthusiastically European. Many smart people headed to Brussels. They embraced the European identity as a way of distancing themselves from their neighbour Britain. They took great satisfaction in seeing Irish companies buying up big hotels in London.

So there is foreboding as to what a bail-out would signify. One Irish commentator wrote today: "Having obtained our political independence from Britain to be the masters of our own affairs, we have now surrendered our sovereignty to the European Commission."

Brian Lenihan has defended the increasing influence of the officials from Brussels with references to European solidarity. "We share our sovereignty with Europe in relation to currency," he said. "We pool our sovereignty in this area, so if you're pooling your sovereignty, you have to act with your partners in whatever steps you take." Yesterday he spoke of a "very supportive reaction from the wider European family".

What the Irish government is hoping for - if the Bank governor is right - is a narrow deal to restore the liquidity of its banks so they can borrow more easily. That would be less of a humiliation.


It should not be forgotten that when Irish voters were first given a say on what became the Lisbon Treaty they voted "No". Irish independence is both young and keenly felt.

So if the country is forced to accept a full bail-out, questions will be asked about the future. Will Ireland ever regain control over its budget and its economy?
And that is a question being asked not just on the streets of Dublin but in Athens, Lisbon and Madrid.

Ian Martin, writing in the Wall Street Journal observed: "A new model of government without direct accountability to voters is being constructed."
That, of course, is the long-term implication of this crisis. Presuming that the eurozone does not fracture, its flaws are being used to give the European Commission much greater powers of scrutiny and economic management. And this may go further. While everyone focuses on Ireland, Greece and Portugal, the gap between these economies and Germany only widens. The price of saving the euro may be that the stronger countries bail out the weaker - precisely what German voters were told would never happen.

The "ever closer union" that some dream of may be delivered on the back of a battered currency.

Life Style Sehat di Ajang Internasional

Job Indonesia - JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Hidup sehat sangat diidam-idamkan setiap orang, baik pria atau perempuan, tua atau muda, warga negara Indonesia ataupun warga negara di belahan dunia lainnya. Tak ada yang menginginkan sakit, sehat sekarang menjadi mode dan tren. Kampanye hidup sehat banyak disuarakan berbagai pihak. Berawal dari kampanye nasional, lantas ide ini menginspirasi Nutrifood untuk menyelenggarakan ajang Mister International 2010 di Jakarta setelah menyisihkan negara lainnya. - Indonesia Job

Lowongan Kerja - Menurut Christian Widi Nugraha, Brand Manager L-Men, penyelenggaraan Mister International bertujuan mengkampanyekan gaya hidup sehat bernutrisi. "Kami ingin memotivasi para pria Indonesia untuk lebih peduli terhadap kesehatan dan penampilan," kata Widi.


Bertemakan Transformation, L-Men ingin menginspirasi para pria Indonesia untuk melakukan perubahan dalam hidup menjadi lebih baik, terutama pola hidup sehat. Terbukti, ajang Mister International 2010 mendapat sambutan positif. Mereka pun datang ke Indonesia. Sekitar 40 peserta dari berbagai negara yang umumnya berprofesi sebagai model ini antusias berpartisipasi. Tahun ini merupakan tahun kelima ajang Mister International digelar oleh Mister Singapore Organization.

Bagi Widi, acara ini memiliki makna ganda. Pertama mengkampanyekan gaya hidup sehat ke dunia internasional. Kedua, memajukan pariwisata Indonesia. Selama pageant period, para peserta kemudian diajak mengunjungi berbagai obyek wisata di Jakarta, Bandung dan Bali. Di Jakarta mereka diantaranya mengunjungi Museum Gajah. Di Bandung, mereka diajak merasakan indahnya suara musik tradisional angklung Mang Udjo dan berlatih silat. Di Bali pun mereka dihibur oleh beragam tarian dan bertandang ke tempat-tempat wisata, seperti pantai Dreamland, Tanjung Benoa, arung jeram di Sungai Ayung, Bali Zoo, dan Bali Classic Center.

"Cuaca di Bali tak beda jauh dengan di Namibia," kata Barnabas Hangey Weyulu (27), peserta dari Namibia ketika asyik menikmati keindahan pemandangan di Bali Classic Center, Ubud, Minggu (14/11/2010).

Selama empat hari berada Bali, selain dipadati dengan berbagai pemotretan, agar tidak jenuh mereka banyak belajar soal hidup, kebudayaan dan masyarakat setempat. Saat memasuki Bali Classic Center di Ubud, Gianyar, mereka terkagum-kagum dengan tari selamat datang yang disuguhkan. Para peserta begitu antusias mendengarkan penjelasan soal kehidupan masyarakat Bali sehari-hari, bersatu dengan alam sekitar. Yang paling mereka sukai adalah berlatih tari kecak dan berbaur bersama seniman Bali lainnya.

Thomas Sebastian (25), peserta asal Indonesia sangat menikmati keindahan Pulau Dewata. Pria yang lahir di Bandung, 3 Januari 1985 ini mewakili Indonesia dalam ajang Mister International. Dengan tinggi 181 cm dan berat 74 kilogram, Thomas tentu menyandang beban berat karena sebagai tuan rumah, dia pasti diharapkan muncul sebagai pemenang.

Namun siapa sangka operasional manager di sebuah perusahaan tekstil ini dulunya memiliki bobot 98 kilogram. "Perlu kerja keras menurunkan berat badan seperti sekarang," ujarnya disela-sela sesi pemotretan di pantai Dreamland, Pecatu. Tak heran untuk menjaga kondisi tubuh agar tetap fit, penggemar musik dan biliar ini rutin ke gym 4 kali seminggu. "Selama 2 jam saya habiskan di gym," sambung Thomas.

Surfing

Namanya sesi pemotretan, sudah pasti diperlukan partisipasi, kedisiplinan, keseriusan para peserta. Untuk itu berkali-kali pengarah gaya berteriak-teriak melalui megapon agar seluruh peserta konsentrasi penuh saat pengambilan gambar di pantai Dreamland, Pecatu, dimana matahari sedang bersinar terik. Ternyata deburan ombak di pantai Dreamland tak mampu membuat Tim Boulenger (25), peserta dari Australia berkonsentrasi.

Tim yang berdiri di barisan belakang sering kali mengalihkan pandangannya ke arah ombak yang datang bergulung-gulung ke pantai Dreamland itu. Pengarah gaya pun tak kenal lelah berteriak-teriak agar Tim melihat kamera. Begitu sesi pemotretan selesai, Tim lah yang paling dulu bergegas meninggalkan lokasi. Dia mengambil papan berselancar dan langsung merasakan deburan ombak pantai Dreamland. Wajar Tim kebelet ingin berselancar atau surfing, pasalnya dia berprofesi sebagai instruktur berselancar di Australia.

Setelah puas menikmati alam Bali, mereka kembali ke Jakarta untuk bersiap-siap mengikuti pemilihan Mister International pada 20 November 2010. Lantas apa saja yang menjadi penilaian para dewan juri? Alan Sim, President Mister Singapore Organization mengatakan penilaian dititikberatkan kepada penampilan fisik, fotogenitas, kepribadian, karakter yang menarik dan kemampuan berkomunikasi. Nah, siapa pemenangnya, kita tunggu.

Jet Lag Bisa Bikin Bodoh !!!

Author: yahoo.com


Lowongan Kerja - Apakah Anda sering bepergian dan terbang melewati zona waktu yang berbeda, terus merasa sulit berpikir normal? Ataukah Anda merasa saudara atau teman yang baru balik dari luar negeri agak tidak nyambung kalau diajak ngobrol? Sebuah penelitian membuktikan, ternyata jet lag bisa menimbulkan efek tak bagus terhadap kecerdasan dan daya ingat. - Job Vacancy

Job Indonesia - Sebuah studi yang dipresentasikan di pertemuan tahunan Society for Neuroscience Senin lalu menemukan, hamster percobaan yang mengalami jet-lag yang ekstrim dan kronis ternyata memiliki kemampuan belajar yabng merosot dan memori yang rendah.

Tidak hanya terhadap kecerdasan, menurut Erin Gibson, peneliti dari Universitas California, Berkeley, jet-lag juga merupakan ancaman yang serius terhadap kesehatan. Studi ini menunjukkan bahwa orang yang jenis pekerjaannya mengharuskan dia kerap mengubah pola tidurnya memiliki potensi yang tinggi mengidap penyakit-penyakit kardiovaskular, diabetes dan kanker.

Gibson dan koleganya membuat jadwal tertentu buat hamster percobaan ini dengan cara memajukan jadwal siang dan malam buat hewan ini selama enam jam setiap tiga hari dalam periode hampir satu bulan. “Tak ubahnya naik penerbangan dari New York ke Paris setiap tiga hari,” ujarnya seperti dikutip Wired.com. Jumlah total tidur sang hamster sejatinya tidak berubah, tapi jam-jam bangun dan tidur betul-betul berubah.

Jadi kalau Anda sering-sering bepergian jauh naik pesawat, jangan lupa sering-sering baca buku supaya tetap pintar dan tidak pelupa (pikun)..

Ziarah ke Makam Private Harry Potter

Author: yahoo.com - Job Vacancy



Lowongan Kerja - Sebuah pemakaman di Israel kedatangan rombongan penggemar Harry Potter, yang datang untuk berziarah makam seorang yang juga bernama Harry Potter. - Job Indonesia

Prajurit Harry Potter dulunya adalah seorang tentara Kerajaan Inggris yang tewas di sebuah pertempuran pada 1939. Saat itu ia berumur 18 tahun, tapi di makamnya ditulis 19 tahun, sebab ia mengaku 1 tahun lebih tua saat mendaftar masuk ketentaraan.

Kata seorang pemandu wisata di kota Ramle, tak ada hubungan antara prajurit Harry Potter dengan tokoh karangan JK Rowling. “Tapi nama itu memang laku dijual,” ujarnya, seperti dilansir Yahoo! Movies UK & Ireland.

Ziarah para fans ke makam itu dimulai sejak lima tahun lalu, dan makam itu makin populer setelah dicantumkan di sebuah situs daring (online) pariwisata. “Kalau tak dibilang Harry Potter dimakamkan di sini, tak adalah yang bakal ke sini,” kata warga Tel Aviv, Josef Peretz.

Sampai saat ini, Arumi pun berada di bawah lindungan KPAI. Hadi mengakui jika Arumi berada di tempat yang dirahasiakannya. Ini untuk mencegah agar kasus ini tidak melebar dan semakin ruwet.

"KPAI memberikan perlindungan dan membawa ke tempat rahasia. Saat kabur aja dia menyamar pakai jaket, kacamata hitam karena takut. Dia diikuti terus sama teman-teman pria itu," ujar Hadi.

"Kondisi Arumi kasihan sekali, sambil nangis. Dengan keadaan tertekan sekali. Saat ini Arumi berada di tempat yang dirahasiakan di Jakarta," tambahnya.

Leaders Are Created

By Joaquin Duenas

Job Vacancy Indonesia, Employee, Vacancy

Being a leader takes up time, dedication and inner exploration. Natural Born Leaders have certain qualities that properly developed will then create a great leader. Becoming a leader is a daily task, that takes time and experience, being exposed to different types of problems and challenges and having to deal with different individuals.
Athletes have a natural talent, not only to a single sport but in general to all physical activity. Athletes have to work hard, typically harder than most of us to bring out the best of them. Relying on their talent alone will not bring out the exceptional skills and they would only be average players. The same theory applies to leadership, everyday there are things to learn and gather knowledge from experiences. Personality, integrity, passion and setting the example are key elements to becoming a successful leader.
Leaders learn from other leaders, they learn by gaining experience from problem solving, they do not limit themselves and they are constantly looking to grow and for new challenges. Leaders learn from each other, they learn to distinguish success from failure and good actions from bad decisions. The golden rule to being a great leader is acknowledging his or her strengths and weaknesses and those of the people that conform his or her team.
Knowing the individuals will allow a leader to place the right person in the right task and successfully increase the chances of achieving positive results. What makes one person a better leader than others is entirely up to each individual, the tools are available, but it all depends on how each individual makes use of them. All individuals with hard work and dedication can master the necessary skills to become a successful and respected leader.
An individual must be passionate. Love and live the work they do. An individual that has a job to work from 8 to 5 and take home his paycheck will not succeed as a team leader; the person has to do it for the thrill and the satisfaction. Everyone needs a salary, individuals do not work for free, but there is a huge difference between working only for the money and working and enjoying what you do. Money will come if the individual works hard and honesty and sincerity are part of the way he or she does business. Hard and dedicated people, as long as they master the skills needed, will become successful leaders.

10 Best Part Time Jobs For College Students

By Azhar Devaraj Victor

Job Vacancy Indonesia, Employee, Vacancy

What are the best part time jobs for college students? These are jobs which allow flexibility in terms of working hours and to a great extent location. The main focus of college students should be their studies and the timely completion of the courses that they have signed up for. Though part time jobs enable college students a source of much needed income, such jobs should not, in any way, distract them from their studies. Based on the above, the following are some of the 10 best part time jobs for college students:
  1. Online Surveys: There are several sites and Google Ads that will help you learn more about online surveys. Pick the ones that have a proven track record and are offered by reputable sources.
  2. College or on campus jobs: Check out the part time jobs that are available at your college or those near you. It could be something administrative especially during student intake peaks or an operational job. The library, counter, student counseling, cafeteria or any such service areas offer part time work opportunities.
  3. Sales Promoters: You will be surprised at how much you can make for just a few hours a day. Pick those where you can select the number of hours you wish to work or the shift that is suitable to you.

With the demand for oil and gas increasing in the world, the industry is expanding their operations and with technology making ever more possible the exploration and extraction of hard-to-get-at oil and gas, jobs, too, are expanding for people with various degrees and even for those with no degree. The first rung of the ladder is usually the roustabout so in this article, we will discuss what the job is all about and what you need to get hired for roustabout jobs.

The expansion of the oil and gas industries as well as the alternative energy sector such as wind farms, makes this the perfect time to try your hand at the entry level roustabout jobs. Yes, the roustabout is the one who does all the dirty jobs necessary to support everyone else working on an oil drilling platform. He takes the supplies off the boats and stows them, he does the scraping and painting of the equipment, deck and work areas, he does the stacking of the pipes for the drilling, he deals with the drilling mud and may even repair the mud pumps. His is a physically demanding job, with lots of lifting, bending and working at heights while dealing with heavy equipment, often in severe weather conditions (depending on the location). He will be working long hours, seven days a week but he gets very well rewarded for what could be called a 'hard grind'. However for someone with just a high school diploma and no experience, the roustabout's job is one way to earn lots of money and enjoy lots of free time as well.

We mentioned the type of work the roustabout does for his 12 hours shifts. The twelve hours off can be spent in the recreational areas as well as sleeping or eating in the crew quarters and canteens. He is likely to have to work those shifts from 2 to 4 weeks at a time, followed by the same amount of time off. Depending on where in the world the roustabout is located, that much time off means he could go home or go travelling.

A roustabout can earn anywhere from $20K to $30K a year as his starting salary. As he progresses up the promotions ladder, his salary could go as high as $50K. In some areas where labour is in short supply like the oil sands fields of Alberta, Canada, earnings can be even higher. Besides the wages, the benefits include full medical and dental, paid room and board while on the rig and very generous retirement pension contributions. Some companies will also give the roustabout an allowance for travelling to and from the heliports used to ferry crew to and from the oil rigs.

What qualities does the person (usually male over the age of 18), have to have to become a roustabout? He has to be in very good mental and physical condition, enjoy physical work and working outdoors sometimes working at heights, be willing to learn and work as part of a team and have the right attitude to safety and work in general. It also helps if doesn't mind being away from home.

To enter this industry, you need to be at least 18 years old, physically and mentally fit and fluent in English. You will have to pass a medical relevant to working offshore, plus follow the rules each country has for having the necessary work permits and training certification.

Hooray! Hope your new opportunity with, more money, new people, new location, and better benefits yes baby. Signing on to a new job can be stressful and exciting both at the same time. The word gets out to your current co-workers that you are leaving and the questions pile up. Your going to have to CYA (cover your ass) to successfully transition out of your current job without usage of friendly fire or enemy fire.

Giving the proper notice, when you accept your new offer-letter the new company usually once you to start within 2 weeks. If the new company wants you to start right away because of some training program you need to enroll into beware that your current job wants to download all the information in your head that is not already on paper. You know the projects that only you know the details. Could projects now be in jeopardy and if you leave early, your company sees this as you smacking them in the face (Ouch).

Write a resignation letter that explains in detail when your last day will be and how much you appreciate the learning experience you have encountered.

Emotions are everywhere! Your emotions, coworkers, vendors, security guards, even the janitor knows you by first name. Everyone fills you with feedback and asking tons of questions. Most of these feelings will be positive but some will be negative. Coworkers can be jealous, the old "Nothing Personal" but "I hate you for leaving before me, or can you take me with you, help."

Keep a level head because you do not want to burn any bridges just in case you current company opens up a position they should have had while you were there. Play the "Murphy's Law" game and expect the unexpected, again do not crap on your desk as you out-process. The environment that made you want to leave could turn for the better and the enticement to come back good is strong.

Prepare documents that will help your replacement. Clean out your desk with all your belongings with quickness, even if you have to stay late to do it. Too many things popup out of know where your last few days so get things done early. How many days will you need to take off before starting on your new job?

Turn in all items of value such as BlackBerry's, laptops, thump drives, and portable hard drives. Make sure to get a receipt. When you leave, you do not want any misconceptions that you may have taken something with you that needed to turn over to your replacement.

Your last check should not be a surprise to you. Did you receive any corporate training? Were you negative vacation and sick? If you received training, some companies prorate meaning you only owe based on the timeframe that has passed within one-year period. If you were negation vacation or sick, you had better believe it would affect your last check.

Thank-you-letter expresses your deepest appreciation for those who have helped you to become successful. You never know when a new opportunity might open up that makes you smile and you want to return to the same company you just left.

Exit interviews may not be mandatory, but whatever you do please do not trash your company, on the way out the door. Think about leaving on good terms. A good reference is worth it.

Will your manager counter offer to keep you around? Do you really have an option to return someday if your current situation just does not work out? Everyone has at least one nightmare transition story.

Are You the New Manager Or Supervisor?

Are you the new manager or supervisor? This new experience can be extremely stressful. Most companies do not provide any type of training when making a move to promote. You know you received a promotion based on your technical expertise, not because of your managerial skills. Everyone now sees you as the person who makes decisions and should have all the right answers. How quickly can you understand, rules, policies, and guidelines? Guidelines and policies are in place to help you navigate through the day-to-day positives and negatives.

Understand your co-workers that you considered your friends may not handle your new role as well as you would have liked? Will upper management except your management style that has yet to be developed? Have you ever made the comment "if I were in charge things would be different"? Will corporate politics derail your great ideas on changing your environment for the better? Everyone in management has gone through the transition from individual contributor to team leader/manager and people find their own way to "survive." The following suggestions will help you keep your perspective and your health to get you started.

1. Monitor your work hours

Monitoring your work hours will be easy to do, because when you work late you realize decisions that have to be made, such as, are you eating dinner at home or should you stop what your doing and get something to eat so you can continue working? You should estimate the hours you think you will need to work late. If you do not need to stay after hours that is great, but if you do set limits and stick to them. Even if you are lucky enough that you can take advantage of new technology such as a secure token or some sort of remote login to your network, remember the number of hours you work over-time can have a burn out effect.

2. Recognize signs of stress

Recognize signs of stress quickly. Everyone stresses out in different ways. Some people are quiet when stressed, others have "blow ups.'' Be aware if your home life starts changing, family and friends should gauge if your personality is changing. Are you distancing yourself from close friends and family because you worked late? Some people get very forgetful or lose concentration, and can be short-tempered. Know your signs of stress.

3. Mentor or a Coach

Make sure you have a mentor or a coach, this will be important to keep you moving in the right direction. There are many undocumented rules of behavior or corporate do's and don'ts you will need to hurdle over while you build your momentum. Your manager will be the first place to turn until you can build your networking skills to find a career mentor. Having lunch with managers from other departments is always a great way to get insight into the happenings around you.
4. Learn to delegate Delegating is giving others the responsibility and authority to carry out tasks. You maintain the accountability to get them done, but you let others decide how they will carry out the tasks themselves. Delegation is a skill to learn. Start learning it.

5. Communicate Communicate, communicate, communicate, cannot be said enough. Ninety percent of what you do should be communicating upward, downward, and sideways. You should hold regular meetings with your staff. The reactive approach is to meet just when new information is available or there is a fire to put out. The proactive approach is to meet with employees regardless. The idea is to build relationships and to prevent fires from occurring. There is always something to communicate, even if to say that things are going well.

6. Incidents & Problems

Based on the number of employees you have you could spend everyday dealing with employees who abuse time and attendance, missed deadlines, employee family emergencies, performance problems, team chemistry issues. You will have to learn through time or through your mentor on how to respond to the numerous situations that can occur through out the week. Should you wear the "Fire Hat" or the "Police Hat," each day, each hour it can be the opposite extremes. As you move forward with experience, you quit responding to the incident and instead respond to the problem that caused the incident. You learn basic skills in conflict resolution with employees, your manager, as well as with sub-contractors/vendors.

7. Ask for training Senior management should understand your need to receive training for career development. You know your employees need training as well. What kind of job training programs does the company offer? Who makes the decision? How much is in the budget for training? What is your training philosophy? Should you make sure your employees are more effective in their present jobs or help to prepare them for the future?

8. Recognize accomplishments Organizational culture is design to reward problem solvers or the person with the highest sales in a department. Make sure to reward those unsung hero's who perform outstanding work behind the scenes. Definitely acknowledge accomplishments, if only by having a good laugh by the coffee machine, monetary company bonuses, and communicate thank you notes to your people by e-mail. Doing simple things to let your people know you care. Give out movie tickets or restaurant gift certificates, these work very well when you need to give on the spot recognition. Lunch can be a rewarding experience.

Most important, you must understand that management is a process, you never really complete your "things-to-do" list. With experience, you will learn to relax and let autopilot engage. If you have ever complained about management now is your chance to make sure that learning happens and that productivity and morale are improved. You are the future. Good Luck to you!
