For as long as I can remember, I wanted to go to university, so when it got closer, and eventually came around, I was ecstatic.

It’s an amazing and daunting thing trying to figure out your life. I knew what I wanted to do, knew that I wanted to amount to something. I knew that really young…the trouble was that I didn’t know how I was going to do it. Shit, does anyone? I spent my entire late teens and the majority of my twenties working for a photography company, living off the road like a rock star (or a roadie, or a dirty corporate hippy, whichever), and making way too much money for doing almost nothing. Teenagers are the worst, their parents even more so. As an adult, I realized my generation was the last generation that really had a childhood. And a disciplined one at that.
6 Tips to Help Your Lead Generation
Lead generation refers to the process of turning strangers into prospective business clients or customers. Leads are not necessarily ready to buy your product or service, but they are willing to pay attention to your business and look into the services you’re providing.

Signs You're Interviewing for a Fake Job Opportunity
As a writer and a workaholic, I have a lot of beef with the people and organizations that offer fake job opportunities. The working world is filled with them — and many of them take advantage of people who are disenfranchised, new to the game, or just really in need of new work.

All across the globe, industries are pushing forward innovations that change the way we perceive common objects and services we had become accustomed to. The healthcare sector is no exception, as more and more healthcare startups are coming up with ideas that they can do better than the competition. If you are considering becoming a healthcare provider, this is the perfect time to do it.

However, as money brings more business opportunities, it also brings more competitors. These things are something you should know if you want to bypass some commonplace obstacles.

Managers are, in fact, leaders and should focus first on leading their crew and staff before managing their business. As a former US Army JROTC cadet, I was taught how to lead and how to optimize the resource of manpower.

As a married woman, one of my many duties (amongst cooking, cleaning, and keeping order in the house) is to listen to my spouse's recollection of the day; from having to fix coworkers mistakes to staying later than expected, it occurred to me after a few venting sessions that there's a possibility they were purposely nitpicking. In most cases, if an employee is fired, you must pay unemployment benefits to the ex-employee, but if you quit, you in turn forfeit these benefits. Of course in the interests of the company, they will use "booting" tactics to help you make this choice. Though we are still trying to flesh out our next steps, I figured I would share some helpful information on signs the company may want you to quit, and what you should do to protect yourself moving forward.
