Case Upon - What is the Purpose of Dr. Deming's Theory of Management?
More Companies Using Job Interview Phone Screening
Planning and preparing before you begin to send out resumes could save you some embarrassing moments when you receive that unexpected call.You just never know when that phone is going to ring. Let's say the phone rings just as you are about to sit down for dinner, but this time it's not a pesky telemarketer -- it's a company recruiter calling. The voice on the other end of the phone says she is calling about a resume you sent in six weeks ago. 'What -- six weeks ago? I sent out 40 resumes in the past six weeks? Who exactly are you and what was the job you are calling about?' You've been caught off-guard!The telephone 'screen call' can come at any time -- day or night. Some interviewers find evenings the best time to catch people at home, where they will be able to talk more candidly. That being the case, you should be on-call and prepared to receive a telephone interview at any time.Even though you cannot control the timing of these calls, there are some steps that you can take to not be caught off-guard.1. Get organized.Set aside your materials as though you were going to a face-to-face interview. Have a folder with job postings or ads you have answered, along with company information.

Small Business - Big Results
If you’re a micro business (less than 5 employees), then you’re competing against large, well resourced retail / service organisations for customers. This can be pretty scary. But don’t be discouraged, you’ve got more clout than you think. For example, in Australia, micro business represents 47% of the private sector. That’s Australia’s biggest employer! So, not so shabby after all, are you?World trends are showing a remarkable growth in micro business start ups, all due to the Global Economy and e–business. But you can’t compete head on with big business. They’ll squash you like a bug if you try. So how do you compete? Well, you can’t out-gun them, so you have to out-think them.What’s the biggest single advantage that large retailers have? PRICE. That’s right. They buy lots of generic stuff and sell at the lowest price possible. So are you going to carry the same stuff and sell it cheaper? Of course not! You’re going to provide products and services that have a point of difference, that stand out, that are better in every way.But aren’t they expensive to buy? Yes-more expensive to buy, more expensive to make, but your margins are a lot better. After all, you don’t go into business to undercut the competition. You go into business because you’ve got passion and commitment! You’ve got
