Need a Job?
When I was in the working world, one of the sites I used to look for work was Monster. This is one of the best comprehensive job listing sites out there. It just as easy to post jobs on there as it is to look for them. In the world that we live in, it is one of the easiest ways to let that world know that you are hiring. You are able to reach the entire United States, Canada, or almost any country of your choosing. As a potential employee, I love that I can upload my resume to them. Not only can I search for jobs but potential employers can be searching for me also. I have been contacted by employers through them, so it definitely works. You can show if you are looking for part time, full time, or seasonal work. You can show what salary you are looking for and what hours you want to work. This is such a time saver for everyone involved. I have been to job interviews where I have found out this information at the interview (and we could have saved everyone’s time if I had known beforehand). If you need a job or if you are looking to hire, definitely check out Monster.

Business Card Reader
Every so often I come across a product that Bill could really use at work. Since it is a smaller company, sometimes they actually take our suggestions. The product I saw today was for a business card reader. As a project manager, he has hundreds of business cards that he keeps in a file. He has business cards from general contractors to suppliers to customers (and about a hundred other people that I am missing). Finding the card he needs when he wants it can be somewhat cumbersome. He doesn’t have a secretary, so currently, if he wants the information in the computer, he has to type it himself. However, this scanning software solves that problem for him. The scanner scans the card in less than 5 seconds and then creates a record in Microsoft Outlook. It can get both the data and any images on the card. Instead of having to carry a huge binder with cards in it, he can just bring his laptop (which he usually has on him anyway). It looks way more professional in my opinion. The cost for this product is $179 which is way cheaper than his company hiring a secretary to do this for him. I plan on showing this to him later to see what he thinks. In my eyes, it is a definite time saver.
