Recruiters: Part of Your Job Search?

By Carl Mueller Should you use recruiters during your job search? First, let's take one step back. I began working as a recruiter in 2000 and I quickly realized that not everyone knows exactly what a recruiter does or what the protocol is when working with one. Recruiters get paid to help companies find new staff. Recruiters work on jobs that companies can't find staff for and attempt to locate a small number of job searchers to put in front of the hiring manager for consideration for the job. A recruiter needs an open job to work on and obviously then needs to go out and find a great candidate (ie. you!) to fill the position. If you decide to work with recruiters, I usually suggest working with a small handful of them, perhaps 3-4. Keep in mind that recruiters are paid by the hiring company, not the job searcher so I always suggest using recruiters to supplement your job search as opposed to relying on them to find a job for you. A recruiter's job is to fill the job, not to get you a job specifically so keep this in mind. Recruiters good ones can put jobs in front of you that you might otherwise not have heard of and can also assist you with preparing for interviews with their clients and can often add value in ways you don't realize the value of, until you get a job through one of them! In order to get the most value out of recruiters, have an up to date and professional looking resume ready, have a list of references in mind that you can use during the reference check phase, and keep an open mind with regards to considering various jobs and eventually, job offers, that come your way through a recruiter. A good recruiter will also help you negotiate a job offer and will help you resign from your current employer once you get a new job through them.

Top Ten Superbowl Snack Foods

By Chris McCarthy Even if you dont really follow football closely or at all - everyone celebrates the Superbowl. There is fun for everyone, like new and funny commercials, over the top pre-game and half time shows, and an excuse to have a party, eat and drink too much. The foods that are most famously associated with this event are admittedly geared more towards men and carnivorous choices but, you can find a vegetable or legume on the list too. Some items on the list can be made as unhealthily or healthful as you like by the ingredients you use. Most would agree that the Superbowl is all about food, friends and fun! Okay, Here is my list of the top ten Superbowl foods:
10. Chips, Dips, Salsa and Nuts This is a big umbrella of general "snack food" or " junk food". Beer nuts or any kind of nuts are almost a pre-requisite for a Football party anyway. There are some really great appetizers that are now almost synonymous with Football. For example: Nachos - whether you just pour some melted cheese on them or go all out with salsa, guacamole, jalapenos, black olives, refried beans and spiced ground meat these are always a crowd pleaser. Theres also the "old fashioned" Chex mix that is really quite a nice retro snack. Purchase, various Chex cereal flavors, add mini pretzels, some peanuts, melt some butter and honey with some kicked up seasonings mix them all together and spread them out on a cookie sheet in the oven on 350 for 15-20 minutes. Great stuff. 9. BBQ Baked Beans The classic baked bean recipe can take over 24 hours to prepare and serve. It involves soaking the dry beans which takes up most of the time, and marinating and baking the beans in a combination of Molasses, brown sugar and BBQ sauce. It normally has Pork in it too and that adds a really great flavor but, if thats not your bag you can substitute ground turkey or have no meat at all. 8. Steak Tips There are also Turkey, Swordfish and Chicken tips out there too now a days. Whichever you choose, marinating them in a good marinade first is a must. Steak will need the longest in a marinade but, all of them will be great once they are grilled on a nice hot grill. Pair tips with Salad and a mixed rice and you are all set! 7. Sandwiches I prefer the foot long Italian hoagie from the local deli cut up into 2 or 3 inch size sandwiches. Hot peppers are a necessity but should probably be "on the side" for the less inclined. Any kind of sandwiches will work really and Calzones which are not really considered sandwiches are a great choice because they are easy to eat while not sitting down and come in all kinds of yummy flavors. 6. Pizza Well, I had to put it on the list. It is really popular as a football food. Its not truly my choice but, considering that watching football is a male oriented past time and most men are not into cooking, it makes sense that something you can pick up the phone and have delivered within 30 minutes (men are not normally planners either) would be on the list. PS: Anything that can be ordered, created and delivered within 30 minutes is not something I would recommend for adults Childrenokay. 5. BBQ Pork with all the fixins This choice is really for a dedicated BBQer and will take some time to do right but, boy. It is well worth it. You really have to start this menu item the day before you want to enjoy it. It takes a smoker and a pork butt, some good dry rub, a mop sauce (this is important as far as I am concerned) and some good BBQ sauce along with a dedication to the low and slow way of cooking. In addition to the pulled pork, lay out some hamburger buns, home made cold slaw, and some chips and you have the perfect football party meal. 4. Chili This is one of the most versatile and easy one-pan dishes you can make. You can prepare it for a whole crowd using a crockpot and it has so many variations there is bound to be one thats to your liking. Just type in "Chili Recipes" in Google or your favorite browser and see all of the hits you get. Yep, you cant go wrong with a good chili. Make sure to have extra hot sauce for the diehards that insist on kicking it up a notch! 3. Ribs Short ribs, Long ribs, Dry ribs, Wet ribs.There is a whole big debate about the best type of meat to use and the best way to cook ribs that is almost as hotly debated as who is going to win the big game. Two things I can tell you about ribs: 1. They are difficult to cook just right and, 2. When they are cooked correctly they are delicious! My suggestion to you is to purchase some ribs at your best local BBQ restaurant or grocery market and pop them in your oven before your friends arrive, set out your favorite BBQ sauce and pass them off as your own creation. See if anyone figures it out. 2. Sausages, Hot Dogs These may not appeal to those of you that are on a health food kick but, really there have been vast improvements in the hot dog and sausage varieties and quite a few are now more healthy options than other choices. And really, whats better than a sweet Italian Sausage smothered in sauted peppers and onions with gobs of mustard all wrapped up in a bun mummm mummm. You can take a walk at half time to make up for it. 1. Chicken Wings Okay, No surprise here. I dont know exactly how Chicken Wings became the unofficial Football food but, I am cool with it. I have no complaints. Wings are pretty easy to make and you can make small batches at a time which is great if you are not sure how many people will be showing up demanding to be feed on the big day. The secret to great wings is the Wing sauce. There are almost as many brands of Wing sauce these days as BBQ sauce and mustard! That tells a little something about how popular these babies are. Chris McCarthy owns InsaneChicken's Hot Sauce and BBQ Sauce Catalog. InsaneChicken's Hot Sauce and BBQ Catalog also has a large selection of Wing Sauce.

Bass Fishing Equipment For Beginners

By Tom Williamson We are going to start our lessons with the assumption that you are
new to bass fishing.
What I am about to share with you is my own personal opinion for
starting out in the great sport of bass fishing. We will start out with equipment you will need. You will need at least 2 identical rod and reel combo's. The reason
that they need to be identical is that it will make it easier for you to
learn how to cast and not have to learn how to use different styles
just starting out. One reel need to have a heavier line, around 14# test is a good
weight to start. This reel will be used to cast heavier lures such
as plastic worms, spinner baits and jigs.
I would have around 10# on the other reel. This reel will be used
to cast smaller lures with.
You will need a medium size tackle box and I would suggest
purchasing a few different color plastic worms with some being
dark and some lighter colors. Use the larger, darker worms in dingy water and the lighter color
in clear water. I prefer worms around 7 inches long. I would use 7/16 oz
sliding worm sinkers and a size 3 worm hook.
You will also need a few 7/16oz spinner baits of different colors
and a few medium running crank baits.
Now you need to take your new equipment out to the back yard
and practice casting until you are good at hitting your target.
Putting your lure in the right spot is a huge part of being a
successful bass angler. In our next lesson we will talk more about the different types
of plastic worms and when to use each type.
We will also discuss the different types of spinner bait blades. I hope this first lesson has been of some help. Written by long time angler and tournament fisherman, Tom Williamson.

Partially Disabled: What Happens Next with My Virginia Workers' Comp Claim?

By Jerry Lutkenhaus You have an work place injury on the job. It prevents you from doing your old job and you have a partial disability & a comp claim. do you still receive worker's compensation compensation for this under Virginia Law? PARTIAL DISABILITY: This can take many forms. You may have an arm impairment which limits your lifting. You may have a leg impairment which limits your standing. You may have a back impairment which limits your lifting or standing. The big question is will this injury prevent you from doing your pre-injury work? If so, then you may be eligible for workers compensation benefits. MARKETING: If you are only partially disabled, this by itself may not get you compensation. This is so because you are not totally "unable to work." It may also be necessary to look for work within your restrictions. This usually requires registering with the Virginia Employment Commission Job Service program and filing job applications within your restrictions. Usually, I suggest five job applications per week. The main thing is to keep a careful record of this job search. THE EMPLOYER: The employer may offer you or create for you a light duty job that you can do within the restrictions set for you by your doctor. Typically, if you have a lifting restriction due to an injury, the employer could offer you a light duty job which has restricted lifting. The employer would have an incentive to do this because the longer you stay out on workers compensation the higher the insurance company will eventually raise the employers premiums. THE VOCATIONAL PLACEMENT WORKER: If you are on workers compensation in Virginia but have been released for light duty work, the insurer will often hire a job placement worker to place you in alternative employment. This worker will first try to place you with your old employer in a light duty position. If that fails, then the worker will try to place you elsewhere. If you are on compensation, you have a duty to cooperate with this job placement worker. EDUCATION: The injured worker with a partial disability may wonder why he/she cannot have the insurer send him or her back to school to learn a light duty occupation. The Virginia law does provide for this but the Commission has taken the position the insurance company has to be allowed a certain amount of time to do job placement. After job placement is not successful, the injured worker can ask the Commission to order the insurer to provide for re-education. THE DOCTOR: The doctor has a vital role in the job placement process. The doctor sets the restrictions which the vocational worker has to follow. If a light duty job is found, the doctor often will have to agree that the job is appropriate. THE CLAIMS ADJUSTER: The adjuster for the insurance company will make the decision to when to refer the employee to vocational placement. When the referral is made, the employee does have a duty to cooperate with vocational placement. This is especially the case when the employee has been released to light duty work. SUMMARY, in my 30 years of practice handling Virginia Workers Compensation claims, many employees have not wanted to cooperate with vocational job placement. However, under the law, they have a duty to do so. If they do not, their compensation can be suspended. It can be very difficult to cooperate with vocational placement especially if the worker makes the employee file job applications for jobs the employee is not interested in. If there is a problem, the partially disabled employee should consult an attorney who is experienced in Virginia Workers Compensation problems. Copyright 2006, Jerry Lutkenhaus.
