I came across a very interesting article on the Huffington Post about efforts under way to improve job search technology: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/blackberry/p.html?id=866161
Think there might be some good ideas there?
Below is a list of the companies coming to the August Group’s Career Fair on June 1: [List updated 5/29 to add three new companies][List updated 5/31 to scratch Paychex]
I couldn’t get on the Internet this morning. After about 45 minutes of resetting/rebooting my computer, router, and cable modem I gave up and called the cable company. Busy signal, so I went ahead and rode to the shop. I should be able to get on the Net from there, right?
Wrong. The Internet was down everywhere, for a couple of hours. (Yes, it came back up, otherwise I couldn’t post this!)
This got me to thinking: What if I had one of those Internet/TV/Phone packages? Lose the cable and everything is out. Single point of failure. What would be my Plan B?
Years ago I was laid off from my job at a Fortune 100 company. Rather than looking for another job I started my own business. It’s guiding principal was to have multiple clients so that they’d all have to “lay me off” before I’d be out of work.
How many backup plans do you have? For example, if your car dies do you have another way to get to work? What will you do if your power goes out for several days? If your house burns down, where will you live?
What are your Plan Bs?
Have you had any experience with Pennylord?
It’s an auction site with a difference. A bid increases the price by $0.01 (one penny). I think it also extends the auction time by 40 seconds. (Except that auctions get suspended between midnight and 10 am. I think.)
There is a catch. It costs you $0.80 to place a bid.
Here’s an example: An item sells for $25. This means that 2,500 bids were placed on it, and the seller (I’m presuming Pennylord is selling their own stuff) made $2,000 is selling fees.
I’m currently looking at a $250 Lowes Gift Card which is in its final moments. It’s currently selling for $4.34, meaning that Pennylord is already making a profit on the card (even if they purchased it at retail!) There’s about five or six people bidding against one another for this, meaning that each person has already spent over $50 for this card.
What a unique business model!
