Waiting For The Residential Deck Cleaning And Driveway Cleaning Guys To Come

June 21, 2008 By: PF Category: Education No Comments →

When I was younger and living with my parents, I’d stay home from my college classes when something needed to get done. If the cable was being installed, I stayed home. If a phone line was being put in, I stayed home. I even stayed home for a Residential Deck Cleaning. Once I moved out to live in the city of Chicago, I thought for sure my mom or dad would drop by my house to wait for the cable or phone guy while I was working . Unfortunately they did not see it the way I did, so they never came to wait while I was working . Both parents said that they did not have time, and they were too busy with their own lives to be bothered by mine . What upset me about this situation was that I didn’t really have time to stay home either, I was supposed to be in class, but instead I had to sit around and wait for their stuff to be done . I missed out on a lot of important notes I could have been taking during my college classes. I even missed a test or two. In that case I did reschedule the test but it wasn’t like I could study while the plumbers were there, my mother is very possessive of her things and didn’t want strangers around them, as they might feel the urge to take her antique glass elephant . Basically what I am trying to get at is that I was always helping them but when it came time that I needed help they were just way too busy for it and put me off as if I wasn’t their child . They say they gave me life, fed, housed, and clothed me for years, but that’s just an excuse.

Your College Experience

June 20, 2008 By: PF Category: Education No Comments →

If there is something I would wish for everyone is that they get the chance to go to college. This isn’t just about getting an education for a career either. It’s also about life and the world. You learn much more in college than what is presented to you in your classes. Your college experience may teach you more than you ever dreamed about the world around you and the people who populate it. There are lessons you have yet to learn, and many of them will show you who you really are.

When I went to college I was glad to leave the small town I was from in the dust. I hated that place, and I knew there was more to the world. It was full of small-minded people who thought their existence within this town made them special. When I came home from college for a break, everyone told me how much I had changed, and this statement was said with some hostility. I had changed, and I hope that your college experience will change you too. You may find that they politics of high school have nothing to do with the reality of life, and your college experience may show you that you are not only smaller than you thought you were, you are also bigger than where you came from.

It’s actually hard to explain what I would hope your college experience will teach you, but if you go, you may find out for yourself. You will change, and that change will be for the best. You will find that life is more than just about popularity, and you will find that there will always be somewhere where you fit in, no matter who you are or what you are interested in. Your college experience will teach you that most of the things you thought were a big deal were really just minor blips on the road of life.

Many of those who stayed in that small town I am from have remained the same as they were in high school. They have not grown, and they are shallow forms of the people they could have been. They still see themselves as the person they were in high school when I have left that part of myself far into the past. It doesn’t really matter, and I hope if you can go to school that your college experience will give you the same freedom it gave me. Pay attention to your studies and do well, but remember that your college experience is about so much more. Find out who you are, and learn to see the world as a whole.

Forensic Science

June 18, 2008 By: PF Category: Education No Comments →

What do you want to be when you grow up? Or, if you’re already an adult and don’t really feel passionate about your job, what do you wish to try next? When I sit down and picture my life differently, as though I had chosen a different field, I can’t help but ponder a forensic science degree. Not that I don’t love what I currently do; because I do. But, if I were to select something else, I think a crime scene investigator, or lab analyst would be awesome. Yeah, I know what you’re thinking now. “CSI!” Of course; this hit television series got us all stoked about forensic science and figuring out puzzles. I can’t even begin to imagine how many individuals pursued this field after that show hit so big.

Choosing a major in college can be a challenge on its own. It’s not just about the homework and midterms. Selecting the right course of study is somewhat stressful and puzzling. How can you know for certain that the forensic science degree is ideal for you and what you feel passionate about? You certainly don’t want to graduate from a University and suddenly realize that you despise your choice of degree, or career. This happen more than people realize, so just make sure it doesn’t happen to you. One thing you can do to ensure that a forensic science degree is right for you is take it to the next level. INVESTIGATE! Ha, isn’t that the perfect term? Anyway, find out what it is exactly you can do with your forensic science degree. Get a dose of the real world work and see what you think of it. Job shadowing may prove beneficial. And secondly, it may be wise to sort through the job availability. Not that you should base you major on what jobs are currently available. However, you may find that the career you’re after is extremely difficult to snag. This can have some effect on your choices.

Just to be clear, pretty much every field is competitive as ever now days. There are too many humans walking this planet for it not to be. So if a forensic science degree is what you’re after, then go get it. But, when doing so, be sure to take it to the next level with grades and learning. This places you a notch above the rest.

Foreign Exchange

June 18, 2008 By: PF Category: Education No Comments →

When I was in high school I briefly thought about being a foreign exchange student, but then decided against it. My cousin entered the program, however, and soon found herself living in Japan. She loved being there, but it did mean that she missed a lot that was going on at home. Our grandmother was sick and almost died, but my aunt decided it was best not to tell her what had happened unless our grandmother didn’t make it. She was fine, and my cousin was not told until she came home.

She loved being part of the foreign exchange, and has fond memories of the year she lived and studied in Japan with her host family. I’m not sure if she still talks to them or not, but last I knew she did. A part of me wishes that I had done it, but I probably would have wanted to go to a school in either Australia or England, as both are places I would love to visit. I’m not much for picking up languages, so a foreign exchange for me in a country with a different language might be a disaster. If my daughter asks to do it one day, it will be hard to let go of her for a year, but I would never ask her to miss out on the opportunity.

There was a problem associated with my cousin’s foreign exchange, however. Apparently, she was quite a hit in Japan, and many boys were falling in love with her. I don’t know if she just didn’t know how to say that she was not interested, but many kept trying to call her long after her foreign exchange time was up. One boy even got onto a plane and flew over here to the US to surprise her at Christmas. Surprise might not be a strong enough word. He was a nice boy though, so they didn’t shove him back on the plane straight away. He is in one of our family Christmas pictures from that year, and I laugh every time I see the picture.

If you want to have your child take part in the foreign exchange student program, talk to someone at your school about it. Most schools take part in it, and they will have a lot of information to give you as well as stuff you must give them for consideration. In some cases when you send your child for foreign exchange, you are taking in a student from another country at the same time. You may even have a child from the home where your child is gone, though I can’t say I know exactly how it works. You can find details at your school or online if you do a search.

If You’re Bored And You Know It, Go Job-hunting!

June 17, 2008 By: PF Category: Education No Comments →

You don’t like your job. Every day, you wake up wishing you’re plucky enough to just get up and leave, and become one of the thousands on the look-out for employment - stable, sustainable, or otherwise. There are many things you would rather do than be a secretary. If it makes you feel better, there are worse things than being a secretary; but if you think Discovery Channel’s Dirty Jobs has the last say on career options that sucks vacuum cleaners, think again.

Below are some career options that would make a secretarial post seem like choice picking.

1. Snake Milker
There are snake wranglers, snake charmers, and then there are snake milkers. Who knew snakes had milk glands? The world owes a lot to snake milkers, however. They get the venom out of snakes so anti-venom could be produced. However, this is one job you sure don’t need kick-ass suits and engravable cufflinks for!

2. Ostrich Babysitter
Some would find this not much different from babysitting. All you have to do is sit in a field teeming with on them to make sure they do not peck each other to death, or somehow get themselves stolen. The advantage of this job is that you get to sit down, read a book, and do practically nothing all day. The downside is that ostriches sure are no babies, and they have aggressive behavior down to a science.

3. Fortune Cookie Writer
There’s work for journalism and linguistics major, it seems, and this work is more exciting and less time-consuming than writing for newspapers or reading the 12 o’clock news for a local radio station. Ever wondered who wrote those fortunes in English? Apparently, take-out Chinese meal is not just full of monosodium glutamate, it also overflows with witty advice, lovingly dispensed by a BA-holding fortune cookie writer.

4. Whiskey Ambassador
If curing liver problems or alcoholism is a chore, so is eventually damaging your liver and becoming an alcoholic. As whiskey ambassador, you would be in charge of selecting only the finest of whiskeys and then teaching clients the right way to sniff them, taste them, and appreciate their attributes.

5. Personal Shopper
Believe it or not, some people find shopping tedious. So, they hire someone else to look out for cool groomsmen gifts for them, or buy engraved Zippo lighters to later hand out as corporate giveaways. However, it’s doubtful if putting in “highly skilled shopper with a sharp eye for bargain” on your resume actually increases your value as a potential employee.

Evidently, being someone’s underling is not the worst that could happen to you after college. You could be out there writing fortune cookies or singlehandedly encouraging liver damage.

Become A Private Investigator

June 14, 2008 By: PF Category: Education No Comments →

Conducting Surveillance

private investigator requirements

Surveillance is usually billed on an hourly basis plus a mileage charge. Rates are sometimes dependant on where the surveillance will take place. Surveillance, if conducted properly by a licensed investigator, is a record of what actually occurred during the surveillance period and can be used during subsequent litigation. A licensed private investigator is an impartial party to the dispute.

Insurance Companies

Insurance companies will employ the services of private investigators in attempt to verify or defeat these fraudulant claims. The private investigators evidence is usually the only evidence an insurance company can rely on to honor or refuse to pay a claim or determine if it is legit. Insurance investigators sometimes called fraud investigators are assigned to special investigation units or (SIU) , throughout the world where the insurance company has claims offices or field branch offices. Many SIU employees work out of their homes or small offices.

Police and Private Investigators

private investigator news

Police reports and signed statements from witnesses to the death are also often needed. Newspaper accounts of the subject’s death can also help the investigator develop needed facts. Police Forces do not always have the manpower and time to devote to solving these crimes. By using the same evidence gathering techniques, the professional private investigator can supplement the overworked police officer.

Information may be used to find someone or something, reveal details about a person?s character, solve a mystery or solve a crime. Detective is a title in many law enforcement agencies for those investigators in the upper echelons. Information usually includes the following: past employment, credit worthiness, and criminal history . These checks are important because they allow better informed and less-subjective evaluations to be made about a person but also pose risks.

Verification

Check with the state licensing agency to verify a private investigator’s license. Links to most state private investigator licensing agencies are listed on the corresponding state page in our directory. Check the yellow pages for a licensed investigator who specializes in spousal, matrimonial, or domestic investigations, as infidelity investigations are sometimes called. Even better - try to get a recommendation from a divorce attorney or someone you know and trust. Check your local community college to see what courses they might offer, because many of them offer classes taught by private investigators. The courses offered here at PI-CEU are primarily for those who are already licensed, although some of these courses may help you decide whether or not to become a private investigator.

Are You Charge-a-holic?

June 09, 2008 By: PF Category: Education No Comments →

You walk past your favorite shop and see purple pumps on display. Almost as if mesmerized, you walk towards the footwear and try them on. Finding them a perfect fit, you zip towards the counter. “Charge those to my account,” you airily told the cashier, but not before you’ve plucked a pink swiss army knife and a purple passport wallet to add to your tab. The cashier gives you a strange look. “I’m sorry,” she begins, and then proceeds to explain why your card is nothing more than a useless piece of plastic at the moment: it’s been maxed out.

Welcome to the world of credit card abusers! If you’re one who wields the power of the plastic, and wields it regardless of interest rates and finance charges, you’re headed straight for trouble. You’re worse than a shopaholic; you’re a debt-addict. You shouldn’t be running around with any credit card to your name. You should be on an allowance, and tightly budgeted at that!

Luckily, there are warning signs that should clue you in as to the kind of credit card user you are. Here is a checklist that should call your attention to credit abuse.

1. You are afraid to answer the phone. For sure, it’s a collector asking why the credit card company did not receive any payment this time.

2. You could not go for a day without using your credit card. You live in a big city, after all, and what would city life be without regular visits to the shops?

3. You find yourself glancing only at the minimum amount due on your credit card billing. Not only that, you actually pay only the minimum amount due each time.

4. Your mailbox teems with credit card offers, and you take the time to read each one - before completing the application forms.

5. Your credit card holders bulges, but this doesn’t surprise you. After all, you have more credit cards than photographs in your wallet.

If you answer yes to two or more numbers, you may want to stop and reconsider your financial well-being. With credit cards as with superpowers, great power is always in tandem with great responsibility.

Have Gumption, Will Deal

June 08, 2008 By: PF Category: Education No Comments →

You’ve played your cards and played out your bankroll. You’ve plunked down all of your free poker bets. With your original playing money and the free casino beats you earned from referrals, you’ve successfully increased your bankroll from $100 to $500. Other punters would head on to the next level - either play more games with more seasoned players or play for higher stakes. Not you, however. You decide, right there and then, to take the game from online to off. You will become a casino dealer!

Math Wizardry

Is “casino dealer” a good addition to your resume? It depends. Dealing is actually a lot more difficult than it seems. For starters, dealers must do a lot of math in their heads. Some dealers peg the figure at a thousand addition problems per hour - and that’s only at the card games. Throw in payouts for games that play for 6 to 5 bets, and you would surely find yourself making as many computations as Newton when he calculated the speed of a falling apple.

The Job Description

Math is not the only thing dealers have to be good at, though. They have to be good at implementing rules, too. As if this is not enough, while they’re making mental calculations and keeping track of how well players follow rules, they’re also required to keep a steady chatter with players - commiserate over their losses, for example, or ask about the missus who played at the same table two nights ago. Casinos believe - and quite rightly so - that players show the tables some lovin’ not just for the game or the winnings but also because of the friendly blackjack dealer who treat players like extended family. So in more ways than one, dealers actually serve as these gaming centers agents of goodwill. That, or punching bags of the players who lose big. “I’ve been called many names,” recounts one dealer. “I’m a bastard, a good-for-nothing son of a gun, an honorary member of a thieving government. Do I enjoy it? No, but it’s part of the job, and if I lose my money to the house, I’d be pretty mad, too.”

Furious Finger Action

The job description does not stop at name-calling, though. There’s the matter of manual dexterity. Dealers are expected to serve roughly a hundred hands an hour for blackjack alone. With about seven players per table on an average run, it’s not surprising many dealers suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome! and other repetitive strain injuries. Casinos help ease this burden by giving dealers a 20-minute break for every 60 minutes of work.

Clearly, casino dealing is a tough occupation, and it may not be one your resume can benefit from. You might want to reconsider your career path at this point, and simply settle for placing sport bets online.
