AOL Jobs ABS Reader question:

I think to start my own business. Would it be wrong to start doing it on the side while I was still at my current job?

ABS ABS ...... let me guess: You want to open a business ABS. Good for you! Now it seems that almost a professional overlap when you run the floor when you finally take the plunge.

But the key words of your question seems to be "on the side." Someone takes a self or mind is actually a new company , it is easy to get to the gray areas. For example, it is fine, on the "other project" during the hours of work when you have downtime? Or how to use office equipment company for your current job? (This color printer is just sitting there!) If your new business is in a similar range - and assuming you are a competition have not signed - may be even more difficult. Would existing customers to convince or even colleagues staff jump ship with you? Or have you betrayed the information confidential to use to take its implementation?

These are all questions that you really want to respond themselves, but to carefully consider as a precedent for the establishment of business ethics of your new business. Ask yourself: How would you like your future employee behavior in the same scenario?

5 ways to streamline your job search

Young woman looking at the screen in notebook

Alison Green

If you are always on the job search advice over ten years, it is very likely that you will unwittingly sabotage their own chances of being hired. And if you think that you have to have in this case too young, think again: it's not just employees with decades of experience that fall into it - even 20 years and some are victims because they shut down to Policies of Workers' Councils based parents who do not realize that the conventions have changed jobs or even college career centers have their knowledge of how things work currently being updated.

Here are five ways to streamline your job search competition in 2014.

1 Clear. Purpose of your resume. Yeah, years ago, you have learned that every resume should start with a goal , but the Council is long gone. The goals are now looking your resume contact with modern conventions. In addition, the goals are are what you want, what you want instead of the employer - and in the initial stage of the recruitment process, employers are much more with the skills and experience they can share their hopes and dreams to offer. In addition, most of the goals and generic tones have unnatural anyway. It has long been a fact that favors a candidate for a position.

After removing the lens, replace it with a profile section - a few sentences or bullets that show who you are as a candidate, and what makes them different. Now they can serve the entire development of the application, to explain the employer of the essential facts that you want them to know about you. In fact, the profiles have the Popularity start as a resume without a cover, look gained a little worn.

February. Do not add, two decades ago. Offers you work have done is unlikely that a long time ago strengthen your application today , and experience and the day. If you have had an impressive career in the last 15 years, why waste space talking subordinate roles rather than before? Remember: A resume is a marketing document, not a complete list of everything you have always done.

Three. Delete "References available upon request." Anticipate employers that you, so no need to give references available when asked for them known in advance. It is a convention, on the left side of another time. No employer you decline include, but are need space better used for something else and want to make your resume feels dated.

Selling kills Iness April. In their approach. Counseling and job search is used to focus on the aggressive tactics that now seem to be uncomfortable for most employers. For example:
  • The inclusion of a line in your letter that you will call in a week for an interview. (You are not the one who decides an interview if you have expressed interest in the application to the expression, the ball is in the employer.)
  • Send designed biscuits or chocolate to the hiring manager or other gimmicks to make your resume noticed. (He comes on, as if you do not understand professional boundaries, and if you do not believe that their grades are for their own merit. Moreover, fewer people these days accept food from strangers, so is likely to end the gift of food in the garbage .)
  • Overnighting you make your application to the hiring manager. Take each work ten years ago, the job search, and you will still find this advice in it. But these days, it is more likely someone who does not follow the instructions are similar - and worse, your documents can not be considered because you do not have to get into the electronics business application.

5 No "hitting the pavement" to their parents or people who do not listen to a long-sought work at the companies you want to be submitted to the work and send your resume in person, but ... With the exception of a handful of employers who explicitly requires is no more and come across as naive and boring for most employers. In contrast, most of the research work carried out in these days especially online -. Watching online ads, send resume and cover letter, filling and networking online applications on sites like LinkedIn course you should always connect to the network in person, but the concept of "pounding the pavement" looking one before all necrotic work.

Alison Green writes the popular Ask a Manager blog where she advises on career issues, job search and management. She is the author of "How to Get a Job: Secrets of a" human resources director, co-author of "Managing to Change the World: The Manager's Guide View charitable purposes Results" and former chief of staff successful nonprofit, where he for the day-to-day staff.

Vodola Chris is responsible for developing client Stella, measures and yields of retail customer service online. As part of the development team of the client, working closely with Chris retailers Stella share data and objective analysis platform - Stella Metric - provide significant improvements in service performance.

Vodola has over 15 years of customer service and operational experience has led teams in a number of consumer organizations, including The Estee Lauder Companies, Nestle Waters and Colgate-Palmolive. He joined the team Stella Bluefly.com , where he served as director of customer service and operations.

AOL Jobs was asked what it takes to be a customer service representative will be in the digital age.

What skills are needed?

A career in customer service is not for everyone. He is listening, empathy, to try to understand the issues and have the ability to find solutions. Even more important than what this process really enjoy. The only prerequisites for a new course entry level cars are good (I've never been someone who does not like to hire) and how to use a computer, because you will use it, either talk to your customers use the systems for problems to solve , or just make the difficult interactions that you come across.

How these skills are acquired?

An incredible way to gain social skills to work in detail, even if it's only a few months. I worked at Staples Center local copy of the summer after high school and learned more about customer needs, limitations and restrictions that I'm learned in a class or course with them. Retail is not done behind a digital wall. Is face to face - it will run and hide behind a cell phone or laptop!

What can you expect to earn?

This can be very different. Customer service representative at the entrance typically earn between $ 12 to $ 20 per hour, but should be adjusted depending on market conditions up or down. The most flexible and is available, you are attempting to earn more money in the long run. Employers need reliable, available agents, and in some cases, to pay a premium in order to keep them. Most supervisors met started on the ground floor and has earned respect for a reliable, friendly and reliable person. You can go to earn a full time salary ranges from $ 30k even as high as six figures for senior management.

How have they changed the expectations of the customer (or not)?

Basically, no matter how much technology we. At hand, the customers are people We just want to get from point A to point B without provocation, empathy helps lubricate the way. Sometimes the point B of the landing in the hands of the mother's birthday flowers is, and sometimes it is an active Wi-Fi. What has changed is the speed at which we hope not to reach forth to point B. It was long, had to call a toll free number and navigate a massive stream of phone messages even begin our journey. Today, this support is often only a tweet or post on Facebook and more customers this type of connection and immediate resolution is higher. And if they fail, they will find it elsewhere!

Secrets of the CIA cafeteria Bared!

Why not WikiLeaks everywhere in this story?

Took MuckRock, another site dedicated to the disclosure of the documents to actually investigate, which must be known by the public, but not in the dark world of the CIA headquarters in Washington, DC

One factor for the website with the Freedom of Information Act to obtain these documents until now secret.

This is what I found: In a world of duplicity and terror world, the best means in our country are still focused on the essentials. As the food in the cafeteria of the company.

Reported complaints register (and some praise) of CIA personnel in the management of the cafeteria, which dated to 2011. Documents Back E-mail contains these gems.

(Editor's note: Some complaints are for the sake of brevity and style were also cleared a good grammar is not a condition of employment by the CIA ..)
  • Stroganoff is not supposed to be a relevant option from a menu of Russian cuisine. If you ever want in Russia, you would know that is an Americanized Stroganoff brew.
  • Replacement of individual parts of ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise Jumbo pumps distributors of these spices box should be reconsidered. Or at least some of those little paper cups to sprinkle spices.
  • My goodness, where KieÅ‚basa? It was horrible!
  • An entry of a chicken identified as part of the fourth white chicken meat must include both the breast and thighs. The wing was wrongly omitted from my lunch. This is not acceptable.

Best of all was the content analysis of the survey of a salad dish called Jazz, a scrupulously honest love grapes CIA professionals. Here it is verbatim from the complaint by e-mail:

"Hi - I sent observations on jazz before Misadvertised salads, but yesterday salad cake takes Jazz is one of Sonoma Grape and Prosciutto Salad This was to be announced on the online menu, and come .. salad (sometimes different) This is one. my favorites when I noticed the line and that it grapes. Grapes are like salad., I asked her, and the server said the cherry tomatoes [sic], they said, red grapes, I said, "No, those are tomatoes [sic] I sooo grape salad bar .. it really is not to give an opinion, but not to understand the grapes in the salad bar, and were I not my body (she has asked me to write a note - . I hope you note) does not justify putting items on salad bar Jazz (call me for container bar to separate elements from each other to add to the salad jazz), but felt justified in this case.

However, if an article in the title Jazz Salad, please make an effort to include these items on the salad. Thank you. "

A final revelation seems to be a secret Burger King operates its in the premises of the CIA. But - you will not believe it - that did not have the dollar menu!

Legal marijuana industry Washington Open for business

Mark McCants cultures Happy Shoppe is a retailer of 502 in the state of Washington.
More than a year and a half of voters Washington overwhelmingly leisure for adults, retail stores in the state of Washington July 8, finally opened for the legalization of marijuana for business on Tuesday.

About two dozen locations around the state, need to open their doors - a fraction of the 334 retail stores finally approved and supervised by the Board of Alcoholic Beverage Control Washington.

The national and local press is on Columbia City Seattle where concentrate the city attorney Pete Holmes Seattle (1-502 sponsor) and Alison Holcomb of the ACLU (who wrote the I-502) will witness the historic event. It is expected that the long, narrow range of products (especially in large quantities, and the flower of the pre-rolled) and the high prices for the event lines that usually starts at "High Noon".

But from my perspective as CEO of the Association of Canadian marijuana (MJBA) - also known as "the Chamber of Commerce for business legal cannabis", the true story goes far beyond the media event on Tuesday.

Over the past one and a half years, the building blocks for a new industry in the U.S. state of Washington have established. A true popular phenomenon , the law marijuana industry is created by a wide band of U.S. Americans who each bring something unique to the party.

These entrepreneurial pioneers come from all walks of life: 20 years and experienced some technical and business 50 years ; Medical marijuana patients, the proponents of the system and are savvy entrepreneurs and investors who recognize the potential of an untapped market.

The Green noise is the beginning of a new era for American companies - a world of children, gentler business cooperation and competition drive innovation. We have developed about Gordon Gecko "greed is good" philosophy, through the conspicuous consumption and planned obsolescence.

While many of us are building our brands and differentiate ourselves from the competition trained; the establishment of a new industry, it is important to be together as a community to define best practices, standards and principles. Self-regulation is better regulation imposed from outside.

MJBA offers forums and platforms for the participants of the right cannabis industry to define our best practices. Through events such as trade shows, vendors and training seminars, we take all stakeholders to discuss critical issues such as finance, security, distribution and packaging.

July 8 marks the official beginning of our experience. Those of us involved in the emerging industry of Washington to take seriously our responsibility. We know the rest of the country, and to see, in fact, the rest of the world, as not only the effects of the legalization of the economy but the social fabric.

As an industry, we are committed as consistent. We know we will be performing at a higher level, and our goal is to create self-control.

It is a revolution of the Company at the base; Industry, which has been grown overnight in pregnancy for 40 or 50 years ago. Driven by federal ban - industry creates by state by state, county district, each trying to define the best way to meet growing market demand.

It is both a history of local businesses, and a global problem. What's going on this week in the State of Washington is new; what happens in the weeks and months to the development of the industry will follow make history.
