3 Employer affects every job candidate must provide

Imagine shopping for an electronic device and has several models to choose from. As part of the preparation of a smart buying decision, some basic things about the widget you know:

• Is it in my price range?
• Does it work as advertised?
• Have you lived up to my expectations?

Like these questions are reasonable concerns of any hiring authority when the occupying of a large number of applicants for a job. When viewed from this angle, you can get a better idea of how to deal with these issues in your resume, cover letter and interview talks LinkedIn profile.

1. "Is it in my price range?" = "What are your salary expectations?" While the respondents effort to examine the question of whether a candidate will fall into the budget of the employer. While you are often pressed to name a few, what a sensible scientist really have to determine is if they are too expensive to rent, or you will be reasonable when it comes to the final after negotiations.

You are wise to resist the appointment to a particular number or a range from the beginning. However, you should prepare to provide an approximation of the salary history to this point in time. The solution of the problem from the perspective of supply and equity wait and stay focused on the game usually not at a specific price.

2. "Can it work as advertised?" = "Can you do the job?" You can begin to solve this with parts of the skills in your resume and LinkedIn profile. But claiming jurisdiction is exactly that - a claim. For this reason, we are certain practical tests in an interview, know-how and thought-provoking questions, the researchers determine how your mind organizes its answers to complex problems to help them cope.

Technology companies, as a matter of course, candidates will be on a board amount to problems in real-time and the speed to control the models and to think the results. Questions such as "How many windows are in Manhattan?" will not be asked to recognize when you know the facts, but to see how you can go about using the skills and resources available, with a complex problem.

3. "The high expectations of widgets?" = "Really good performance at work?" Of course, you can never predict the future with absolute certainty. But we all tend to look to the past as a guide for what you can expect in the future. Therefore, the most impressive resumes are are filled with care, and not on mere recitation of their current or former tasks.

In an interview, probably asked about his greatest successes. Be prepared to tell stories and not boast. Instead of "I am the best in ..." I'm going with "Here are my challenges is what I did, and here are my results."

If you are the kind of person presenting a history of reliability and practical benefits that employers have is some basis for hope that it will continue its performance. And vice versa, if you do not have these things, raise a red flag.

The other aspect of this concern is the continued reliability. How to stay there long at work? Therefore, you will meet the standard question: "Where do you see yourself in five years," Everyone knows that never work these days, can not wait any employer a great long-term commitment of the candidate. However, found a recent survey that CareerBuilder unfortunate reaction of a real candidate, "the researchers said that he did not stay long in a position to work with, because he thought that he might get an inheritance if his uncle died - and his uncle not too good. "

There are few people who "sell" like himself. However, if you with the realization that the employer is a valid concern, which can be treated reasonably, the process approach, you will be well on your way to get to a constructive dialogue to advance your career.

The state is one of several increasing the minimum wage in the new year, with an increase with effect from January 1, Connecticut, Rhode Iceland, USA, Florida, and other states.

New York lawmakers have to pay the increase in 2013 as part of a series of measures to $ 9 until 31 December 2015.

It might also increase a minimum of $ 10.10 per hour, if the legislature approved a further increase of the legislature in 2015 supporters of a minimum wage increase to demand and wants cities like New York give the authority to increase more.

But opponents say another wage increase could face rising labor costs and incentives for employers cut jobs to convert.

Fall further increases in the Legislature last year to a halt when they encountered the opposition of Republicans in the Senate. The Republican Party won two additional seats in the Senate elections in the fall, but proponents of a higher minimum wage took a valuable ally in the Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo, who agreed a higher minimum support during his successful re-election campaign.

"There is no doubt that we have the debate," said Ken Pokalsky, Vice-President of the State Council Affairs in New York, a group that supports Cuomo, but in exchange for the minimum wage. "The minimum wage increases, we do not like to do, what will people do. We did not agree with the idea that the means to produce jobs better paying job is requiring a law to adopt people to pay more I'd market beat. "

To Arecelly Cantos, however, a higher minimum wage would allow him to work fewer hours, better shelter or less are worried about how to pay the bills. Currently, the 27-year-old Queens resident working two jobs to make ends meet customer service.

The increase to 8.75 $, he said, is "better than nothing".

"New York is one of the highest costs of living in the country, but with such low wages, it is very difficult to get out," he told The Associated Press by a Spanish translator. "I have all the time to work. I have no days off. It affected my life."

The Cuomo administration is also considering raising the minimum wage for waiters, busboys and other workers who are tips that can be paid below the minimum wage receive if their advice makes the difference. It is expected that a recommendation to the commissioner of labor Cuomo February issue a decision in state committees content.

As 2014 2015 AOL Jobs Carl reader has a question ...

Hey Jack. Can you prior resolutions for the new year of my constant search for a job?

Yes, of course I can, Carl - and he gives me another excuse to write my own decisions .

1) I'm going to apply at least one job every day. As with many things in life, is a numbers game to find a job, so why not increase your chances? Then in practice remain filling out applications.

2) I will stay positive. New Year strain Thanksgiving is not the time to find the perfect job. Hiring managers undressing still there, her thoughts were not always rushed at work or to complete projects at the end. So do not be upset about the recent lack of response; The new year is a new opportunity. And everyone will remain focused on their work until Memorial Day!

3) At least once a week, I'll get in touch with an old friend / colleague / friend / respect. Oh, every week there is no contact with the same person as it could have goosebumps. But networking is the name of the game. Who knows, maybe his old friend has met a new job or just someone in your area. The informal "If you hear anything, let me know," could really get the ball rolling.

4) I will keep my resume and LinkedIn profile up to date. Months pass and we forget some of the project work that we have done, or a volunteer position or even change into apartments. Periodic updating avoids last minute fight, when asked to provide your contact details.

5) We read "Ask Jack" every week, and always share it on Facebook and Twitter. Hey, it was worth it, right?

By Jennifer Kay

Two horses had to be euthanized Friday, bringing the death toll to six since October Davie Horse Master said Andy Jaffa, the lawyer of the Centre and the owner of 20 horses.

All horses in the middle of eating contaminated food, and all will eventually die. Their owners hardly not free watch animals as their health.

Terms of the deal last week with Lakeland Animal Nutrition is confidential, but Jaffa said Monday that its customers new horses and care of the remaining sick horses for sale - all of which are expected to die.

Affected horses ponies in value from $ 25,000 to $ 50,000 for elite competition worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

"The other horses deteriorate further - sadly," Jaffa said. "We knew we had to do, but I do not believe it. We did not know it would be so soon."

The food came to the school in September, but it was weeks before anyone realized that there was something with horses in the masterpiece.

Since the first death in October horse owners tried to keep their pets at home, lavish attention on them with "spa day" in their stables. All lessons were suspended and the parents of young drivers struggling center to explain how all the horses, not just one or two, dying and there was nothing we could do except to give treats horses and additional toilet.

The company, based in Lakeland recalled based product has stopped producing horse feed and realized that food monensin and lasalocid content delivered to additives, anti-bacterial as safe for livestock and poultry masterpiece, but poisonous to horses muscles.

The CEO Jonathan Lang said 95-year-old company was devastated by the loss masterpiece on the ground.

30 years later, Cabbage Patch Kids were even fans

By Kate Brumback

Cleveland, Ohio (AP) -. Standing to be in an open, Freehand, Circle, a group of about five dozen adults reciting the oath on the best adoptive father in the world. Then, when the word was given to encrypt the room to find the perfect baby.

Are collectors Babyland General Hospital, birthplace of Cabbage Patch Kids. And are not dolls after the mass market, which triggered a frenzy of three decades ago. They came to a limited edition, hand-sewn baby hanging - not the wrists in Babyland General call.

In the foothills of the North Georgia area, Babyland General resembles a southern style house with white columns and a large veranda. Inside, the mother of carbon is the basis of the crystal glamor.

If crystals begin on the base of the tree to light and an announcement over the loudspeaker, the mother of carbon is extended to collect the visitor to see the mother of carbon deliver a baby. A nurse gives mother a small dose of carbon "Imagicillin" to help remove the leaves and a large portion of pats or TLC, and then took the audience on breathing exercises before drawing a naked doll leaves.

Every baby in the limited collection of Christmas Appalachians in recent panels at the event was unique, and some people have trouble choosing.

"I have a face like that," said Arrington collectors Wilma. "That's the first thing I look."

"And your hair," said her husband, John ,.

"The hair and the celebration should go hand in hand," agreed his wife.

For others, it's a bit more abstract.

"It is the personality and appearance of the baby, because we come here, and some we bring, and we do," said Eileen Cancilla, another collector. "This is the baby chooses us."

On this day, six called Cancilla and her husband, Bob, who traveled in Northern California. At home, have a collection of about 2,500.

And if everyone is clearly focused on getting children they want, not in a hurry, or fight for individual babies - in contrast to 1983, when the production was produced by the demand for dolls Version mass and chubby fight broke overwhelmed toys.

"Everyone respects everyone," Rebecca Wagner said. "If a person sees a baby they want, and then reverse the other person."

Wagner spent her Cabbage Patch Kids love his daughter, 24, Victoria, and both have more than a thousand dolls. Make the trip to Cleveland, Ohio, in general Babyland several times a year.

Collectors sometimes have difficulties in explaining their passion with friends. Bob Cancilla endure a few jokes about his hobby a few years ago to retire from his post as deputy sheriff.

"They laughed until they found that the value of older babies," he said with a smile.

Latest babies start hand sewn from at around $ 225, but the dolls before frenzied mass market can for tens of thousands of dollars to sell.

During his trip to the most recent event collector in November Bartolomé wickets and a baby in 1978 they pay for the use of "time to take" a payment plan for the most expensive doll was.

But what keeps these collectors make several trips a year to Babyland General formed close friendships with other collectors who share your passion. The Arrington, which are also used to Ohio for seasonal collection of cases, live an hour away.

"The main reason why we had moved here because of Babyland" John Arrington said.

And while like all babies in their collections, each collector has a favorite.

Victoria Wagner is a Blackberry Winter 1980 issue preemie hand by Cabbage Patch Kid creator Xavier Roberts signed in the summer of thought.

"This is my oldest son and is so small," he said. "That's because my pride and joy."

Do I get extra for working? If the office is closed for the holidays, I get paid?

AOL Jobs readers have many questions about holiday pay. Most think that they are paying extra if you work at parties. Here are some questions I asked:

My job here in Illinois, I worked on holidays and paid straight time. My boss told me, gave me two days a week, work on the holiday gave me 40 hours, which I have not paid twice. I explained that if you work on the holiday you get paid double pay. I went on a date with a patient and was 4.5 hours and was told I had to leave early to 4.5 hours of my time adds up to 40 hours. this week. My question is this legal?

My employer has several "policy" that are unjust, at least, if not illegal. It is a building in New Jersey. Among other things, no paid vacation. It is unwise, immoral or illegal?

I work in a hospital in New York. I worked 18: 00-12: 00 Clock held New Year's Day. The day shift time and a half for the hours paid for, but I was told that I was not on vacation compensation in line. I thought the holiday is a day of 24 hours. This hospital has done nothing illegal by paying some employees and not others for the same work?

Therefore, you will be an hour and a half to two times, if you work in Europe? Do you have to pay the employer if you are not working on a holiday, because business is closed? This is what you need to know about holiday pay:

Extra pay for working on public holidays

There is no federal law additional compensation for work on a public holiday for non-government employees not engaged in federal contracts require. No double. Not even time and a half. This federal law requires that if you work more than 40 hours per week, and are not exempt from overtime must be paid time and a half. So if you already worked on Christmas to a colleague who wants to go, and has 40 hours this week working as a favor, you must pay overtime if you are not exempt. But if you work on Christmas and lasts 40 hours, your employer may require you to take the rest of the week to avoid paying overtime

If you are not sure whether you are exempt, read my column is used, is what get overtime? Chances are good that you should . My column 10 Employers use tricks to cheat workers from overtime could also help.

I do not have a state law, additional compensation for the holidays for workers in the private sector is, if your state has a law like this, you can find me know in the comments. (Incidentally, Rhode Iceland an interesting law, employers can not do that you are on vacation and not to discriminate against you if you refuse ,.)

If you have a contract, binding agreement or if the employer policy says that pay for the license, then you can also add additional compensation if you work on a holiday. Some employers offer an incentive to encourage employees to voluntarily on a vacation. However, they may designate all or part of the party paying the premium. If the policy or contract, the employer pays the entire stay something, and, most likely to qualify for this additional remuneration throughout the 24 hours.

If not, you probably have regular rate for work on a holiday.

Holiday pay, when the office is closed

If you are exempt from overtime and working part of the week, then you should pay when the office is closed. If you are not free, then there is no federal law, paid leave for non-government employees who do not have work contracts on Federal. I do not have a state law, paid vacation in the private sector either found. If your state has a law like this, let me know in the comments. So it is not immoral and unwise to pay to the employee for the holidays? Yes I am. Illegal? Probably not.

If you do not work for the government, then you can have a contract or agreement of the Union require paid leave. Many companies offer paid vacation, but private companies can change their policies holiday pay if they want to.

Work in government contracts

To treat two federal laws vacation pay benefits to employees who work with Federal contracts: The McNamara-O'Hara Service Agreement Law and the Davis-Bacon Act . These laws regulate some paid leave. Much they pay 'extra under such laws to work overtime depends on whether you are full time or part time and other factors. The details of the holiday pay for McNamara-O'Hara here . For more information about the holiday pay Davis-Bacon Act is here .

Happy holidays are still used

Such a beautiful holiday season, but not in trouble claiming an additional content, which is not authorized or refuses to work when you get to pay extra. This is a very bad time of year to be fired.

If you need legal advice, it is best to speak to one employment lawyer in your country , but if you have general legal problems to speak to me here in public, except to discrimination, conditions, employment contracts, sick or do you want to work labor law issues You can ask AOL Jobs .

Note: Everything you write, I can one of my columns selected. I will not be able to answer questions individually.

Ingrid colleagues in the mood bah humbug. She explains ....

Floods are tireless work as everyone rushes to her stuff in my ministry dump before the start of the holiday. One of the worst things about this time of the year for me. What can I do?

Uggh, questions send me everyone I write this column right before the holidays. Oh, wait a minute, but then someone has to find encodes a picture of me and other people, and you plan to display and share them on Twitter .... Ingrid is an important point: too often think the world begins and ends with only ourselves. I can not tell you how many freelance jobs I received at the end of Friday afternoon. Hey, I am grateful for the work, but I really liked the weekend. Especially at this time of year, we practice some of these "good will towards other" things that we love to sing.

But until the world to set their own boundaries to a better place, Ingrid, his department. In early November, send an e-mail group to explain, if different members of your team will be taken out, and get feedback labor Thanksgiving / Christmas / New Year, and so on which date to deliver. If someone something inevitably fall at the last minute, quietly and politely explain that you are your best to the normal delivery time to meet, but you can absolutely guarantee that you get from 04.59 clock on 24 December and yes and I hope you go for the holidays home.

Helicoptering? Parents take their children to college

Leanne Italy

NEW YORK (AP) - Lori Osterberg and her husband are people, Denver, but it was moved and is intended for the sake of adventure, when his only son to move out of the house for college.

Well, long story short, she did so. Something like that.

Instead of following the sun low in Mexico, followed her daughter in Portland, Oregon, in the second year where they. While taking long weekends and other trips to Canada and California, the couple bought an apartment near campus that three actions.

"We call our Sabbath. We are here at this time, with the possibility that spans his academic career," Osterberg said. "We have one year after another."

Sometimes mocked as the last helicopter education, Osterberg and others see only advantages to relocate or to purchase a second home to be near their children's schools.

Osterberg me happy. She and her husband work primarily online, rather than pay crushing 9-5 in the old way of college bills.

Dianne Sikel in Phoenix, this is football by his two sons, 18 and 15. There are plans to reorganize the calendar as an auctioneer, part-time real estate agent and former actress, as their college begins almost Anaheim, California next year, at the age so that he both could attend games.

This, he said, means that she will leave first Phoenix Saturday morning during the football season in a rental house in the area, on the campus of California, deals with his younger game in Phoenix on Friday. His younger will stay with her father when she's gone.

"These are moments that are lost forever. I refuse to lose," said Sikel. "I must be about my children."

Coldwell Banker real estate company who first noticed by the parents, as movements in 2008, when compiling its annual College Home Compare Price Index, the average price of accommodation took in over 300 locations. David Siroty a company spokesman, said the index has not been done for many years, but anecdotally to continue to see the alert pop on holiday and marketing in the country, near the campus.

Regina Santore, an agent for Coldwell in Knoxville, Tennessee home, the University of Tennessee, the couple moved last summer in the city, about 380 miles away in the western part of the state, live for the first year with them.

"They firmly believe they do not want their daughter to live on campus. It felt as if it would have been a better learning environment when she was with them. It seems to have a problem with it," Santore said.

The father, a computer programmer, and mother, an aspiring restorer installed in a house near the campus of 1600m² ranch style.

"I can understand that, frankly, these days," Santore that a 4-year-old said.

"But I do not know if I will appreciate to follow him to school," he laughs.

Santore, originally from a small town in upstate New York, said a neighbor who recently to live in New York with her daughter in law school.

"Basically, his daughter that her priority," he said.

More often told in Knoxville, Santore, so you do not have the parents who buy condos weekend to fight for hotel rooms to attend soccer matches in the stadium of 100,000-plus seat ut. The school has about 21,000 students.

A surprising twist to Roslyn Levy, an agent of Coldwell in Gainesville, Florida, is the parents who cross it, followed by the subsequent transmission to children in nearly 50,000 students at the University of Florida and Santa Fe College a manger.

"So what really works both ways," he said.

"We see the parents moved here or buy a second home here, either because they have a child to school here because they went to school here themselves," Levy said. "We see people buying houses, larger and more expensive than you would expect from a student, because they use around the house when they come here to visit."

Some said, keep the house when they leave the children.

Sheila Baker Gujral in Maplewood, New Jersey, is a Georgetown alum interviews with prospective students in Washington, DC, to school. She offered to do it for 10 or 15 years, and last summer went by offshoring.

"I was this girl, and asked how his parents of his departure," Baker Gujral said. "She said she did not mind living on the east coast and the west coast, so apply in these locations" I was like, "I should say they are going to move somewhere. You go to school," and she said, Yes. She does not look very excited. "

Baker Gujral said meeting for dinner and channeled his teenage daughter with a friend whose parents moved to New Orleans, where he entered Tulane with her.

Osterberg believes that his movement more support for his 19 years. "He had his ups and downs in the first year," he said. "He missed his dog. He missed his friends. We will miss him."

Parents need a few basic rules when there for the second time.

"We told him he had to be in the clubs, things like that and it does its job." Osterberg said. "She considered studying abroad next year"

Parents continue?

"It's beautiful here, and all, but at this time we do not have on what we do here, decided," Osterberg said.

This time of year you can think and talk with friends and family around 2015, resolutions and plans for the future of the working world or not. For this reason it is a good time to really figure out how you feel at work. Perhaps there is someone who does not particularly like. Or maybe your boss does not give you the opportunities and salary you think you deserve.

It all depends on your personality and perspective (and not) can be tolerated in the workplace. Some people may not know a colleague who everyone gets on my nerves. There are people who are willing to do the basic work and do not want to take on additional responsibilities. It is important to know what combination of circumstances can stand and it really can not.

This holiday season, to talk to friends and family to hear. What is he really like to work and that's what you want? Write it. In two columns "I like" and "dislike" If you meet one of the cases under the column "likes", you may not need the change that you thought so little time.

Flexibility. If you are able to take the time to work, if you need to for medical appointments or the rights of the child, it is an advantage that not everyone enjoys. If your boss you can from home on demand or periodically, congratulations! Most people accept a pay cut for the occasion.

Autonomy. Do you have a degree of independence at work, when it comes to managing your time and effort? This may be important because micro managers can really hurt the initiative, creativity and incentive to work hard. If you do trust his job and usually left alone to do it - two inches.

I work. Like the real day to day, what do you do? Do you feel challenged? Do you feel valued? This can be a deal breaker. Even if you do not get along with colleagues if you love what you do, do it well and by the right people (read: government) recognize, then you may be in some amazing opportunities for the future.

People. The corporate culture that is actually determined by the people in an organization can make or break your experience. If you forward to colleagues in the office every morning and look at can you do, even if you do not like the work you do every day. On the other hand, do you think he would like to do the work with people you like, love is not it? Depends on what you are satisfied with the work.

Ways. It may take some research and proactivity on your part, but the identification of future opportunities in your business or organization, you can have a good reason to stay, give. Yes, it may take a network, but is usually easier to move in a company to go out and find something new. In addition, the path takes much less time in front of the part of the entire work. Perhaps may not know exist, but when it sufficient to at your department or similar function offers people to show their interest, you can find something new and broaden their perspectives.

Salary and benefits. Can you pay the bills and pay for entertainment, such as a fitness center and holiday fun? Not everyone can do it. While there is no single reason to stay in your business, it's something to consider, taking into account other "do not like" and "like" on your list. Perhaps your company for membership of a club or vocational training is paid. Again, these are not the profits of most companies offer.

It is very rare that everything you want in a job. There are some benefits that you go out and have as to allow commitment in a relationship with a significant other. However, you need to get to know yourself, to understand what moves you.

If you still have trouble understanding if your employer is suitable for you, or if you need a change to examine the extent to which you can handle and what is not. You can add a scale from 1 to 10 of their list. "One" would mean unbearable - you tremble with rage - and "10" means completely satisfied. You can then use the points you have given everything on your list and see if the "Like" or "do not like" win. The result is to respond to the way you look down, on and. With people and situations

Think about it. Maybe it's not as bad as it seems.

Data security in the question of the company after Sony Hack

By Mae Anderson, AP Technology Writer

ATLANTA (AP) - The companies all over the world are on alert in order to strengthen network security, not the next company knelt by pirates as a leading spectacular cyber attack against Sony Pictures Entertainment.

The hack, said a US official investigators believe is in North Korea in connection led to the cancellation of a movie from Sony and ultimately could be hundreds of millions of movie studios cost. This hack contain terrorist threats and focused on far-reaching damage to the economy, and not steal customer information for the crimes of fraud as Home Depot and Target, says a new frontier has become the cyber security. Suddenly all the big companies could be cyberextortion the goal.

"The injury of Sony's renaissance, after the year of the mega gaps we have seen," said Lee Weiner, senior vice president of security company Rapid7 Boston and engineering products. "It's a stolen harm to society very different data type".

This should show to all US companies must "take cyber as serious as the physical safety of employees or the safety of the physical facilities," says Cynthia Larose, president of the practice of privacy and security Mintz Levin firm in Boston.

The injury is particularly worrying in Hollywood, in which it is assumed that the secret to be essential to ensure that the millions of cinema not leak secrets.

"Films studios were usually the security vendors that have been recorded IP behaved strictly controlled Inspectors are stored and smugglers are pursued wherever possible," says Professor Faculty of the University said Seth Shapiro Southern California Motion Picture Arts. He said that's what makes it so surprising that email leaks have revealed that Sony executives apparently gave passwords in unencrypted e-mails and made other security error.

"The apparent negligence of Sony Computer Security - given the history of previous hacks - is unprecedented in the history of technology media," he said. The Sony Corp. PlayStation Network was hacked in 2011.

The studios are trying to strengthen after the attack Sony. Warner Bros. executives earlier this week ordered a password reset for the entire company and sent a list of security control in five points for advising the employee to see your computer for all unneeded data in an e-mail from The Associated to Clean Press. "Take only what you need for business purposes," the message.

Nevertheless, some say there is little they can do business in order to avoid such a sophisticated cyber attack. The key lies more in the damage detection and limit.

"There are very few companies that can withstand such a big attack" Mogull, an analyst at security firm Securosis in Phoenix said. "However, many companies need to improve what they do in terms of safety, I see every day with the company I work with."

The companies have to invest in their networks in order to identify and work quickly to resolve it vulnerabilities. Jonathan Sander, strategy and research director of the security company STEALTHbits data in Hawthorne, New Jersey recommends a comprehensive review to ensure that obsolete, such as digital copies of old contracts and electronic files conversations took place for years, and are not stored on the corporate network is.

"There are a lot of things sitting there and waiting was added and the kinds of things that are used happened this time Sony" says Sander.

Sony said that the failure was each client session since STEALTHbits Technologies began earlier this month stolen information leaks and made international headlines come.

"We used to have people on the idea that you need to take to protect such data must," he said. "Now we go in and ask," How can I make my data appears on the Internet as well as Sony? "

Some customers wonder if they reduce their reliance on email and other digital forms of communication such as e-mail systems do not need to save the data. Sander is not accepted, much protection as making a phone call to exchange passwords and other sensitive information.

More importantly, companies need to quickly grasp on the ability to concentrate and to limit notches as soon as possible. Currently, the average amount of time that a company disclose a breach 200-230 days Rapid7, Weiner said. "This makes it possible allow the attacker to time for a lot of knowledge to gain and do a lot of damage," he said.

Although none of the customers Weiner attack specific major changes to its security in response to Sony, computer security has become a major focus in general. "There has been an increase in investment in information security and awareness of the risks and dangers of such attacks," he said. "We are beginning to see information security as an issue the boardroom, much more attention."

One example is the company could in the technology sector, where most companies have to follow their security measures tightened in the last 18 months in response to revelations about digital espionage tactics US government.

From former contract NSA Edward Snowden documents showed reports that the US government computer networks of Google, Yahoo, Facebook and other technology companies in search of e-mails and other communications used electronics, can reveal the terrorist plans and other illegal activities. The US government has claimed that it never received stolen the kind of very personal information in the breach of Sony Pictures. But technology companies have operated by the NSA tries to free to the public to thwart surveillance by encrypting its internal mail and large customers. Google and Apple, the first software vendor in the world of mobile devices are also automatically encrypt data stored on smartphones, so that information to decipher unauthorized users including government agencies.

General Motors says it amplifies the Internet in the past two years through the integration of information technology in the enterprise to external suppliers. The car company has a leading cyber hackers staff for the entry of GM vehicles consolidated computers and electronic storage of data from 23 centers in the world into two stop near Detroit.

"I'd say we have a higher level (safety) than other companies," said spokeswoman Jennie Ecclestone.

A key to thwart attacks is to know the enemy and just want your business to determine hurt, says Tom Chapman, head of cyber security operations in San Diego Edge Wave.

"In the past, people were looking for a firewall or a single product" for the protection, says Chapman, a retired naval intelligence officer specializing in hunting pirates. "Now they realize that there is a human element. You have to understand that it might be for them. By understanding their potential opponents, you can better tailor your defense."

How to make sense of health benefits for employers - or lack thereof

Robin Reshwan

This is the open enrollment season. If you're new to the game of insurance you have probably 15 February 2015 in order to make a decision to choose the health insurance. If you have insurance, chances are you have completed your selection recently cover.

"The universal health care" certainly has its share of fans and critics. However should job seekers looking for career and employers to limit offer health insurance? Keep these tips to make sense of several service packages do today:

Learn, Discover the exchange of health care in your state. Even if you currently informed insurance, always better than in the dark. Finally, as uninformed to receive a $ 6,000 for this "option" MRI lead after breaking his leg soccer flag and go to the nearest hospital MRI that will not get in your network and are not recommended by your doctor. Oh, and these two additional bandages that gave him his hand scraped costs $ 200, because it is "medically necessary" coded as for his care.

Joking aside, pay a lot of new job seekers and professionals believe to back them up and pay for their own medical services no option for them. But this is should be the case.

When connecting to the website of the Health Insurance in your state, you can check the various levels of health insurance and to see the prices for each. This information is very powerful for several reasons. First, you will find that most major insurance plans are used by employers, are taken directly from the website. Second, if you have little or no income, you can find out if you are reduced to a set or tax incentives. Third, it can be calculated fairly accurately what your monthly insurance costs would be if you need to insure itself. And finally, it may be more grateful for their parents or employers consider all options in the past, if you know that have only covered the advantage.

If the employer is small and does not offer insurance: Small employers are required to subsidized insurance to provide their employees that offer so many non-insurance. Yes, some of these patterns may be cheap, but most are simply good business. The cost for a company to offer a small group of employees is usually more expensive than if the employer insure given a grant to the employee. In other words, you are buying dollars more insurance if you are paid as an expense not taxed if the money used for your own plan.

If an employer does not mind because he is willing to offer the monthly payment for all or part of your insurance premium. This is usually a sign of a businessman who has the math and tried to give employees the maximum benefit per dollar spent. With this pattern, you should be aware that the monthly payment is and what to do or need to qualify for this benefit. Often it is as simple as buying insurance for you and present the receipt of a month, as it an expense report. , So that you can get the refund payment for companies that are not subject to tax the full value.

If you are offered a safe, but it's a 50:50: Large employers are responsible for paying at least half of the monthly premium for the employee responsible. However, the spouse or family cover is completely optional, which means that the employer is not to pay the monthly premium.

Many employers are in the 50 percent to stop coverage for each employee and spouse or to provide coverage for a fee of 100 percent. This is a scenario in which the search for similar opportunities for the exchange of health services or websites like ehealthinsurance.com can help you determine whether it is better to cover your family through your employer or purchase a separate policy for them. There is no doubt that the plan is simple, but not always the cheapest option.

If you are offered an insurance policy with a higher percentage for the whole family: This is an exceptional value and security is the key term care easier for you health. But do not let this not so perfect to accept a role for this performance, the simplicity court. Determination of the financial value of the total or partial health insurance is the best way to put into perspective the advantage when it comes to make informed decisions about career choices.

Do the math Suppose you a great opportunity to have a small business with an outstanding mentor and interesting projects -. But no advantages. Before turning the paper, check the calculation. For a person that can cost a month without government help for health insurance between $ 100 and $ 250. If you take the higher premium scenario, buying insurance costs about $ 3,000 a year. How do we know that many employers offer coverage insurance premium by 50 percent, with a role without benefit takes you around $ 1500. disadvantage compared with the advantage that the "average" employer. Now you have to decide if the benefits outweigh the role of spending $ 1500 from you. While no one wants additional costs $ 125 months probably not important enough to immediately reject a great career opportunity.

Just before closing his eyes to have career positions just because they do not offer health insurance benefits, take a minute to compute. If the paper itself is ideal for you, the figures often add up to a healthier image of what I thought.

Remember: health issues are expensive, regardless of who pays the premium. This is usually deductible, maximum tire from his pocket and optional facing major financial surprises. This is a healthy 2015 - professionally and otherwise.

Would extreme commute in the world?

Think of the alignment of your trip? Try a resident of the village Yushan in Hubei Province, China, where a rope slide slopes above 1,500 meters above sea level is the only way to access the outside world. We see the traffic during peak times complain today.

A fragile small diesel tram is on the line, a pair over 3000 meters between the remote mountain village and the nearest cliff hanging expand. In fact, "tram" is generous - it is an open cage big enough for a few people (or part of the goods needed to keep the city). And while there are plans to build a road in Yushan, it might be a while before the old transport cart itself be attached to a rope.

As reported by the Daily Mail, Yushan Zhang Xinjian his residence the postcard city has over the last 15 years, a position that grease the cable once a week (no, do not get on AOL Jobs) includes receiving .ventanilla This means that ballot paper strips along, as he is in the top of the basket as a trapeze artist overzealous and lubricates the strings by hand. I repeat: the basket more than 1,500 feet above the ground.

"I at no one would take the job began working there since the rope was created." Zhang said Post. "At first, my father, my brother and I took care of together around the cable, but to leave after my younger brother and my father's health went wrong, only that could do the job."

You will see maternity leave USA never pay than good by legal mandate? Under a President, perhaps?

Oh, of course, is easy to point the finger at the United States. But what of Papua New Guinea? How not guarantee paid maternity leave , right? Or Oman? Or ... well, I think it is, really. The United States, the Federal Act of 1993 Medical Leave that up to 12 weeks of leave mandates to care for a new member of the family or an ailing parents. However, there is no promise to pay for the license, and small businesses are excluded.

Paid vacation and what seems inevitable in the United States (to Fatherhood!) To do - and at least all, strengthening the law in 1993. But that will happen soon? A President, either Hillary Clinton or anyone else, but Taylor Swift until 2024 at the earliest can not get their government depend on women's issues. Although I like to think I would have become an even more important part of our national debate, and that is a good thing. If you care about the problem does not sit and wait: Contact Congress and the White House . Or write to the column AOL. Oh, wait, you have already done.

Why do you think a job in the section above about the company that they have a lot of coffee? I'm serious about my job search and seem to be the light thereof. I want a job, not a cup of coffee!

A few things in mind do not keep: 1) The fact that a place says it simple, do not it actually is and 2) Some jobs "Wacky" will definitely be trying too hard and to be annoying.

Anyone who has worked on live television, know that you can not always control what happens in front of the camera. And if something goes wrong, goes wrong in front of millions of viewers. Sharon Osbourne have a booster reminder of this reality, on Tuesday, fell as one of his front teeth during a live recording of his CBS show The Talk.

"Oh s ***! My tooth is falling!" when she was crying, as it should be, when he realized that something felt like it was released in the mouth. Be a moment later the tooth was in his hand, and Osbourne turned to the camera in a cool gap on the right side appears (it was interfering with either or unlovable, depending on the viewing angle). Fortunately, the tooth was only an implant for all dentists in the public could sit for the duration of the fair.

"I have a fortune on this bloody f *** ing thing!" Osbourne cried. "Seriously, someone put glue? We have to take a break dental emergency."

But you know what they say, the show must go on. And he did it look like Osbourne invited interviewed Lisa Kudrow toothless, sometimes moving to hide his hand in his mouth. Even by the standards of the Osbourne family of heavy metals (famous man once Ozzy bit the head off a live bat), it's pretty hardcore. Anyone who wants to make on TV - and behind the scenes - should take notes.

Why not sweet incentives

News Flash: Get a discarded candy bar in my head, do not get me to work harder. In fact, only makes me give up.

That's how I felt when my former employer the opportunity to reward my performance with candy. I know that employers and managers sometimes have to be creative when it comes to an incentive and reward results. Of course, our content should be an incentive, but rarely is the only way that employers give their employees. The festival of the year 401 (k) good games , employers can win a variety of things, retain and motivate employees to offer. This is a difficult task, the incentives to motivate employees to find more, but good managers are up.

Unfortunately, as I have learned (and I am sure that you have), you can encourage scratching your head or rub in my case. It is my belief that if managers are able to provide incentives for employees. Capable of a synergy of more efficient work, corresponding to create all benefit Although I am now independent, I have done everything to some of the most and least effective incentives, which I made during my career highlight.

Patrol Price

I spent five years in the online brokerage industry . It was at the height of the Great Recession, understandably, was a stressful time for employees and customers. One of my main tasks was to speak on a daily basis to investors to help their investment needs and offer advice. One thing that will not be lost, was also priced Patrol.

Particularly busy day or if managers wanted to increase sales in a particular area, a group of several dozen executives came in costume Skateboards blowing kazoos and pull candy bars and soda cans on our heads. They called Price Patrol. Remember, though, that was all, while we. On mobile clients talking about their investments Some of us lucky to have a gift card or something to forgive wanted something for every shop do it, or could have been accidental. I can understand that management wanted us to attract and fun, but often feel drained employees or irritated.

How can numbers for commercial off

If you are a sales person, or someone who is, you know how easy it is to focus on the numbers at the expense of other things. Often sellers are compensated to some extent and competitive situation to achieve, will do anything to get your number. Of course, companies and managers want to promote sales, but not at the expense of harm to society. The problem comes when you begin to set limits on the amount of fees by a representative in a given month to earn.

I saw this at work before I work in the brokerage industry had. I worked for a financial services company with a dedicated sales. The company has a very restrictive representatives ceiling Committee could earn every month. Now everything would be done to reach this limit every month, and when they arrive, they will adhere to the submission of new accounts until next month on the first day would be turned off. Officials do not want to present their work would not earn a maximum fee, and the company does not pay more than they should. The result was a bad career direction auction results and a large number of representatives who left dissatisfied otherwise.

Do not ever make money

One of the keys I've seen of incentive programs that have worked well is that you add something value for the employee to do. It is the responsibility of the company, on one level, to find these things and use them to not only win, but maintain strong staff.

This was a particular challenge in the past by the state of the economy years, but more can be done. As a company, I think this is the key to the transparent with employees. You understand that time can be difficult, but there are still many ways to encourage your employees. Some of these methods are:

• Extended with job responsibilities
• if the display or flexible working hours
• Offer other opportunities to grow professionally

Again, the key is to just find out what adds value to the employee. While it can be a challenge, the managers who, even with the employees who work hard and create effective do synergy at work are

Keep the element of surprise

An incentive that I have seen work is truly amazing people. Also remember that it encourage some, but not others. Employees want to know that they are appreciated, not the big money is needed to make them feel valued. Surprise can something as simple as a short note of thanks with a small gift card be (think $ 5 or $ 10) to a favorite store or cafe to right 15 or 30 minutes left before Friday.

Have one year's service not if - do when they enter into a contract or initiative that brings the value for the team or organization. This also has to be a good manager and know that their employees, but if done correctly, can little surprises a great work environment in which employees are motivated to work more efficiently create.

Determine provide the appropriate incentives for employees can be a challenge. The key is to not treat employees like children - instead find what adds value, and the rest will work.
