What Do Employers Want?
 
There are three basics that employers look for when filling a position or eliminating a position.
1)      Does this position/person make money for the firm?
2)      Does this position/person save money for the firm?
3)      Does this position/person cost the firm?
All positions should either make or save a firm money. 
 
As the economy  recovers and companies reorganize staffing remember this criteria.  
Think like the employer even looking  at positions that you might not consider doing either.   Take the Greater at WalMart, that person has a great impact on whether someone feels welcomed and a valued customer.  If  Grumpy Greater greats you, next time you will probably choose Costco, Meijers or Target.    
 
APPLICANTS HELPFUL HINT - make sure you include how you made or saved your past employers money on your resumes and cover letters.

Helpful Hints for the Technologically Challenged
 
If you are of an age where you wonder what all the texting shorthand  means, don't despair.  I have found a great little book titled
TMSG (Test Messaging Survival Guide) by Evie and Jack Shoeman.  IMHO
(in my humble opinion) it is saving me the embarrassment of not knowing what the heck someone is trying to tell me in a text message. 
To the authors I say GJ (good job). 
 
Now if someone could help me with program my Blackberry.
 
HAGD!
GROUND HOG PREDICTS 6 MORE WEEKS OF WINTER!
 
Not great headlines for Sun Worshipers, but Great news for Snow Bunnies.  The Ground Hog report  actually sounds a lot like the "talking heads" telling us about the economy and unemployment rates.  Those of us that are news junkies hear daily that another business is cutting jobs, that one is going out of business, that we are in an economic crisis, that unemployment is at 7.2%.  What we don't hear is the GOOD NEWS -  that 92.8% of Americans are employed, that new businesses are starting up every day, that looking at all the economic indicators  for the first time in the past 3 months we are seeing positives.   When we stop thinking about the negatives and look at the positive side the outlook is much brighter.
