Bogus Ads On Craigslist 2008-02-01 13:05:17 I just stumbled up on a bogus ad on craigslist. After talking with Sheila Herrera, HR Director for the Miami Science Museum, she has confirmed that there are no web design positions with her company. She has currently forwarded the link over to the IT department to look into the matter. A bogus ad such as this makes the Miami Science Museum looks bad for when they do have a legitimate job opening. Craigslist is a great free site for posting ads, but this goes to show that there are numerous bogus job ads on the site. Job seekers, recruiters, and employers should beware of this scam. ...

spring semester beginning soon 2008-01-05 21:36:20 January 14 begins the Spring 2008 semester with my next course PSYC 101 General Psychology. This is a fully-online, Internet-based course that meets January 14th to March 9th. Even though this is a fully online, Internet-based course, it is not an online, self-study course with a due date at the last day of scheduled class. This course has firm weekly due dates has specified in the syllabus.  Although the students and the instructor are not tied down to specific times of day, we all adhere to a weekly schedule that includes many activities, including discussions, assignments, quizzes, etc. This is an undergraduate course with no lectures. However, it appears imperative that keeping up with the weekly readings is a must. There are two chapters that must be read each week. Some weeks there are three chapters to read. Due to the nature of this course, my instructor has imposed deadlines will not be extended, so completing my work on time is imperative. If I miss an assignment or activi ...

Going to school online is great for me because there is flexibility that allows me to choose when I go to school and how long I stay.” Whether you are looking to enroll as an un ...

Comcast Violates Net Neutrality 2007-11-05 15:00:55 Comcast has given us a glimpse of a world without Net Neutrality, and it’s a chilling sight. An investigation by the Associated Press caught the cable giant secretly inspecting online communications and crippling users’ ability to share information with one another. This is a gross violation of Net Neutrality — the longstanding principle that ensures a free and open Internet. Tell the FCC: Save the Free and Open Internet Today, Free Press filed a legal complaint demanding that the FCC take action to protect the free flow of information on the Internet. By joining the complaint by the Free Press, you can help stop Comcast and other gatekeepers. The future of the Internet is far more than Web sites and e-mail. People are now using new peer-to-peer technologies to upload and share videos, photographs and music. They are innovating without permission from Internet gatekeepers.

Leadership - Developing Your Team 2007-11-05 14:38:34 CJ McClanahan is an business coach and inspirational speaker and was wondering about how to keep your star performers forever and not have them leave when a new opportunity arises. The reality is that “the majority of your best people will eventually leave.” The average length of time that someone stays with an employer is one to two years. They then move on to bigger and better things, such as starting their own business. He suggests 3 key reasons why you should treat your top performers the same way you treat any other major investment, such as an automobile or your new house. 1. Investing in your employees will dramatically improve the overall performance of your company. As Zig Ziglar states, people don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care. If your best team members recognize that you are just as interested in them as you are in the bottom line, they will produce more. Would your top performers be less likely to spend 45 minutes every morni ... Developing
