Where To Find Executive Job Placement?

Do you feel that the higher you climb up the corporate ladder, the bigger pressure it brings and the less job opportunities you have making you vulnerable? It is like, one wrong step and you are down and then you will have difficulty looking for a job with a similar level of importance and benefits.

A friend of mine was laid off work when his company was downsizing. He quickly got in touch with an executive search firm to help him with his job search as only companies like A.E. Feldman Associates, Inc., with forty years of experience in matching executives and managers in appropriate positions in corporate companies would be able to find a suitable job for him.

Corporate companies prefer to allow companies like A.E. Feldman Associates, Inc. to help them filled those high posts because recruiters at A.E. Feldman Associates, Inc. are similarly experienced in their careers and so they understand the requirements of their clients.

WTH! My Stremyx Is Down AGAIN!

I seriously do not know what is happening! Is TM playing with me or what? Within the past few days, it has been On and Off for a few times already. I called up TM Support Centre this afternoon telling them that I could not connect to the internet since morning but they said that their log shows that I have an active connection. Who in their right mind would call up complaining if they do have a connection, right?

I don’t know why but they said that they will cancel my active connection, asked me to restart my modem, helped to troubleshoot my computer, asked me to swap my cables and make a direct connection but nothing worked.

My iPhone wasn’t picking up my wi-fi signal either.

Anyway, after three calls to them only did they helped me to put in a report for their technical department to check my line. Even though I have a back up internet line, I was still pissed to have to spend half my life trying to get the connection to connect and so I was not able to get my work done. Besides, I missed my afternoon nap!

Now I gotta wait for two days and see what happens. F@rk TM should give me a rebate, man!!!

The Largest New York Real Estate Company

My friend, Paul, who has lived in New York City for almost 15 years, tells me that New York City is a very happening city and as an architect, he has seen how the city has evolved with property changing hands and new owners having better and innovative designs and architecture done on their newly acquired property.

While on the internet this morning, I stumbled upon the website of a New York real estate company. If one is looking for property in New York City and its neighboring cities, then this is a good place to start. I mean, you can search through the listings of property, commercial or residential, that are available and then only contact their New York real estate broker. It actually saves both parties a lot of time.

Like a complete real estate company, actually, I have been told that this is THE largest real estate company in New York, besides providing prospective property buyers with an up-to-date list of property for sale, you can also valuate and sell you property through them or even read up on the latest on mortgage and rates.

Windows Live [Hotmail] Locks Out Safari Users

Last night, I was having an issue of being locked out of Hotmail when I tried to access my account via my iPhone. I did a search on the internet to see it there were other users who were similarly affected but apparently, there wasn’t.

This morning, after a good night’s sleep and a clearer mind, I did a search again, this time to see if it was a browser issue [Safari] and not iPhone issue. True enough, I found pages of articles mentioning this problem.

The weird thing is that it looks as if the problem started in early January, 2008, some even experienced this problem on their MAC back in 2006 and 2007 (!) but it only struck me yesterday. Ah…. maybe it’s like a virus and it takes time to travel to me in Malaysia.

Anyway, I have a new iPhone blog and I think I will be discussing future iPhone issues in that blog.

Cash Via Structured Settlements

Months ago, when I first discovered structured settlement and thought that it would be a good option for people who would like a lump sum of cash, someone chided me, saying that I know nothing about the ins and outs of structured settlements. It’s true and that’s why I have taken the time to read about it.

The internet is a great place to learn whatever we want to learn about and I do most of my search for information online. When it comes to structured settlements, it is the same.

Just now, I was told that I could learn all about structured settlements and more from the website of StoneStreet Capital. I learned that many lottery winners who at first opted for an installment plan have benefited from structured settlements where they received a lump sum of cash instead. Sure, the amount is a little less but if you compare that loss to the potential of growing your money from that lump sum of money either through bank interests or property and stock investments, that amount lost initially is insignificant.

Of course, I don’t think that most of us would be lucky enough to strike a jackpot like that but there are many instances where people may be a recipient of a structured settlement. While having this option out cash out of structured settlements is a positive one, there are instances where it is not a good idea to get a lump sum of cash, especially for people who do not know how to manage their finances!

Social Bookmarking Plug-Ins For WordPress

As the owner of four WordPress blogs with four more in the works, I have been trying to look for a good social bookmarking plug in for all my blogs. I would like to place those fancy buttons at the bottom of each post so that my readers could conveniently Digg, Reddit, Sphinn, Stumble or whatever them… without such a button, I know I am losing potential readers because most people will not take the trouble to do it. Personally, I won’t even REMEMBER to do so if not for all the buttons in front of my face.

Sure, I have del.icio.us and Stumble Upon on my toolbar BUT I did not opt to have my toolbar shown because I wanted to expand my screen real estate so with the toolbars hidden, I hardly use them.

I know that many people are the same as well. So, do you know of any good, easy-to-install social bookmarking plug-ins for WordPress which I could use?

Alamak… to think that when then prefect one has been found and I would have to go around my blogs to install, activate, customize and embed the codes! Eeeyerrrrrr!!!

Information On Home Security & Insurance

Although I do not own a home, I am paying for the insurance of the home. How ironic. The other day, I had a talk with my mom about increasing the policy of our homeowners insurance because that policy was taken a long time ago and what my mom did was just renew it year in and out without considering that we now have many more valuable electrical and electronic items at home.

But how much should our home be insured for? My mom has yet to speak to our insurance agent. Just now, I was doing a little research to learn more about homeowners insurance before talking to our agent to increase our policy. Little did I know that keeping two large breed dogs in our home could be considered risky in terms of insurance coverage. I just read this information from a site called HomeSecurityInformation.com.

Besides this article, there are also many articles on home security and information on homeowners insurance that I think every home owner should read because they are useful. Like I said, I don’t even own a home but I have to do this little research for my own knowledge and also because money is coming out of my own pocketbook *sigh*
