Alarm Clocks And Online Collaboration

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , — Owen Jones @ 10:52 am

Have you ever purchased an item of equipment that you thought could come in very handy only to leave it lying around for months because you could not work out how to set it up? Or not set all the features up, because it would have taken hours to read through the manual, which looked as if it had been translated by a machine anyway?

Many individuals have experienced the situation at some time or another. I had an alarm clock once that had dozens of features like waking me up at diverse times on the weekend to during the week and randomly selecting a radio channel every day to wake me up. It also had a feature with which I could train it to understand some voice commands, but I could not be concerned with all that.

I just wanted it to wake me up whenever I set it. Video recorders are similar devices. How many times do you hear of people setting their video recorder to record a film only to get a documentary on another channel? It used to occur a lot, did it not?

The aspect that I am getting at here is that the designers of these instruments have been told to put as many features as possible into them up to a price in order to be all things to all people. However, in making their equipment so convoluted, a lot of people decide not to bother using them at all and will avoid that make in the future, which is the exact opposite of what the manufacturers meant.

The next time you go out looking for some electronic gadget, you will say to yourself: “Oh, So-And-So, you need a degree to use one by So-And-So. I’m not buying one of those”.

So how can this concern you? Well, if you have to coordinate anything that you want others to take part in or be animated about, try not to make it excessively complex. I am not saying ‘dumb-down’, just don’t show off by putting all the bells and whistles on it merely to show that you can do that. People will not thank you for it, they will ignore your undertaking.

This has a lot of implications for on line projects where individuals can be hundreds of miles apart but still be working together on a joint project from home. Open source programming is a good example of this type of work. The team leaders should keep everything as simple as possible if they want the maximum co-operation.

One technique that you can use to check to see if your project is being understood is to ask. It sounds obvious and it should be, but a lot of team leaders will not ask because they think that it makes them look weak and unknowledgable. Again, in fact, the opposite is true. A good team leader is not a despot; a good team leader is a good organizer and is thoughtful.

Four Pieces Of Advice For A Telephone Interview

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , — Owen Jones @ 3:19 pm

Nowadays more and more interviews or at least preliminary interviews are made over the phone. In these days of soaring unemployment, there are sometimes hundreds of applications for a single post, so employers whittle the numbers down by holding first round telephone interviews.

Therefore, it makes sense to learn how to deal with such an interview. In this piece, we will give four tips on how to become more successful at telephone interviews.

# 1 Smiling: it sounds strange to suggest that smiling can make a difference in a tele-interview, but it can and it does. Smiling produces a change of attitude and conveys confidence. This confidence will be felt by the interviewer. In the same vein, if you normally gesticulate a lot, gesticulate whilst you are on the telephone as well. Just be natural and normal and try to be relaxed. This all boils down to smiling, so endeavour to smile in your telephone interview.

#2 Telephone: use a decent quality telephone. Why? Because your voice and your intonations will sound more natural. In the days when everybody leased their telephone units from their telephone firms, before it was compulsorily de-regulated by the government, everyone had a decent, if costly, telephone.

These days, you are able to purchase your own phone and plug it in. However, this often leads to individuals purchasing a cheap phone with poor reproduction qualities or keeping on using a phone long after it ought to have been replaced. Therefore, carry out your interview on a telephone of decent quality so that the interviewer can get an correct sense of who you are.

#3 Research: make sure you have researched the company you want to join. If you feel as if you know the company that you have applied to, you will feel much more confident and this confidence will come across in the interview.

Employers like it whenever their (prospective) employees are interested enough in their firm that they have conducted some research into it. Having done research will also prepare you for questions like: why do you prefer to work for us? And what value do you believe that you can bring to our company?

#4 Truth: the fourth tip is to be true to yourself. In other words, be yourself. Do not try to say what you think the interviewer wants to hear. If you only say what you think they want to hear, you will come over as obsequious and if you get the position you may not like it there anyway. Be yourself and find the right job for you.

You should practice your interview techniques in trials with friends or family playing the part of the interviewer. Do not forget, that the main thing in a telephone interview is confidence, so do anything you can to increase your degree of confidence and do everything that you can that allows that confidence to be conveyed.

The Only Way To Stop Smoking Cigarettes

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , — Owen Jones @ 7:05 pm

Smoking cigarettes used to be a lot more widespread than it is today. Now most smokers are searching for ways of stopping smoking. This is because smokers and the general public at large are more conscious of the risks of smoking cigarettes nowadays.

Just look at films manufactured in the Sixties and before, everyone is smoking. It shows how popular smoking was compared with today. This would not be possible now as you cannot smoke in public places, on public transport, in restaurants or in bars any more in most Western countries and elsewhere as well.

The problem with smoking is that not only the smoker suffers, so does everyone around the smoker. This is known as passive smoking and it has an effect on those working or living with smokers – a barman or a spouse for example. So, all these people are risking their health so that tobacco firms can get richer.

No matter how long someone has been smoking, it is possible to quit the habit. Anyone who has stopped smoking will tell you that stopping smoking cigarettes is all to do with the mind. You really have to desire to stop smoking or you will not do it successfully.

People have different ways of stopping smoking cigarettes. Some say that nicotine patches or nicotine gum help, because you can wean yourself off nicotine gradually without having to inhale the poisonous smoke of cigarettes. Nicotine is extremely addictive and most of the chemical withdrawal symptoms have to do with the shortage of nicotine in the body.

Most individuals find that the single effective way of stopping smoking cigarettes is to give up smoking dead – in one go. It is very difficult to cut down or to swap to a weaker brand. You are still inhaling poisonous smoke. It is still no good to you or anyone around you.

Cutting down or switching brands is not effective, because you will still smoke other smokers’ and you will still be in a smokers’ environment. You will also find yourself smoking tomorrow’s five cigarettes today, promising not to smoke any the next day. That never works. You have to quit smoking dead.

There are several situations that can provide the motivation to give up smoking cigarettes. Illness is usually high on the list. A few years ago two friends of mine who smoked heavily stopped smoking cigarettes within weeks of every other.

One was in his sixties and had smoked for almost sixty years: he was told that his lungs were beginning to go, but that if he stopped smoking, the shock might kill him. He stopped smoking one morning and is still alive, but what a dilemma!

The other was in his fifties and drove a lot as a travelling salesman. The doctor told him that he would probably have to have a leg removed next year, if he did not stop smoking and that the other might go a year or so after that. He stopped smoking instantly and still has both legs.

So it seems that the trick to stopping smoking cigarettes successfully is to find your motivation (do you want to live long enough to see the grandkids married?) and bear that image in front of you at all times. Take nicotine substitutes if you have to and keep away from environments where people smoke more, like taverns.Join a sports club instead, something like tennis, table tennis, swimming or even chess.

Some Advice On Quitting Smoking

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , — Owen Jones @ 9:03 pm

If you are a smoker, then the overwhelming odds are that you have tried to give up smoking, even if you never told anyone that you were trying to give up. The old joke among smokers is that they have given up giving up.

That is a real pity and a very sad joke. Most smokers started whilst they were young and impressionable, but it takes a lot of willpower to give up for good.

If you are attempting to quit smoking, then I hope that some of the tips set out below will be of use to you in your task to kick the habit. The truth is that it takes most people years to really give up smoking, although there are plenty of people who give up one day and never smoke again – ever.

It really depends on the type of person you are really. Some people can cut down gradually and others know that if they are going to quit, then they need to make a clean break once and for all.

It is straightforward to judge progress with the person who ceases from one day to the next, but a great deal harder to do the same with someone who cuts down. For example, how long is someone going to take to reduce from one packet a day to two?

How does a partner know when someone is smoking ten cigarettes an evening, that they have not already smoked thirty during the day? It is very difficult.

In the end, the quitter is alone and if he or she wants to tell lies concerning their progress, they can. No-one else will know, but at the end of the day, they are merely telling lies and attempting to fool themselves that they are trying to give up smoking. Having said that, a smoker must reward himself for each step of real progress.

A good tip is not to rely on just one strategy to give up. For example, you could wear a patch and reduce your intake by five or ten real cigarettes every week. Try nicotine gum at the same time.

Always tell people that you are giving up and never accept a cigarette off anyone and never give anyone one either. Do not get into ’rounds’ or ‘flashes’ of offering cigarettes.

If you find that you smoke more whilst you are in a stressful situation, such as at the time to submit the end of year accounts, hold off trying to quit until after then. One of the times that most smokers have a big problem cutting down is when they are in the pub drinking alcohol with their friends. This is probably the hardest time to overcome the habit.

Many people like a cigarette with a drink after finishing work and if you fit into this category, endeavor to go home from work for a drink or give up smoking with a friend and take it in turns to go to their house and yours for a drink after you finish. Once the first three months are up, you could go back to the pub and see how you get on or you simply may not want to anymore.

Why Should I Quit Smoking?

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , — Owen Jones @ 6:52 pm

Quitting an addiction that you’ve had most of your life is be very hard. Many smokers want to quit their unhealthy habit, but procrastinate because they feel that it’s too late or too hard for them to stop. Luckily this is not the case. It is never too late to change a bad habit.

The complete process of giving up smoking will probably take a long time and will require determination and will power on behalf of the smoker. However, although at first it may be difficultl to step away from being addicted to nicotine, as a smoker who wants to stop, it is better to focus on the long-term benefits of quitting smoking.

It’s a well-known fact that smoking causes all sorts of cancers and illnesses. Experts say that each time a person smokes a cigarette, he or she loses part of their life span, fitness, money and also esteem. We live in a world of so many anti-smoking agencies and institutions working against smoking that smokers are generally not seen in a good light. So why not think about the benefits of stopping smoking and lose your addiction instead of losing everything for the sake of a cigarette?

Health is wealth. One of the most important benefits of quitting smoking that anyone can achieve is to live a higher quality of life. It does not matter if you’ve smoked for a few years or have been a chain smoker all your life. What matters is that you have decided to quit. Starting from that point, you will be able to live a richer life with fewer illnesses meaning less suffering in hospital.

The benefits of quitting smoking are not only an increased health and an increase in life expectancy, but it can also have a positive effect on social life – you will have more friends and more (self) respect. Once a smoker stops this deadly addiction he or she will run less risk of developing cancer or heart disease and it will also mean that the ex-smoker will enjoy fresher air instead of air polluted with cigarette smoke, which will mean far less coughing and wheezing.

The benefits of quitting smoking are almost endless. For instance, smoking can have an adverse effect on people’s sexual health, quitting the habit would mean that the fertility rate would improve. Unlike previously, you’ll have whiter teeth, fresher breath and a higher energy level. Furthermore, people around you will finally have fresh air to breathe. Another benefit is the savings in your purse. Cigarettes are costly. So, stopping smoking would mean that the money that was spent on cigarettes could be used for other good causes such as pampering yourself with a little bit of what you fancy.

The benefits of quitting smoking are certainly many and the advantages of smoking are yet to be uncovered. Sure, it brings in a lot of tax revenue and keeps some people in gainful employment, but then smokers take more sick days and spend more time at the doctor’s than their non-smoking colleagues. Smokers say it soothes their nerves, but so would relaxation techniques such as yoga even sitting down. Let’s face it, public mood has moved against smoking with smokers being vilified and pitied these days. Smokers also look rather silly nipping out of the restaurant or pub for a cigarette every hour or less, don’t they?

Alarm Clocks And Online Collaboration

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , — Owen Jones @ 7:25 pm

Have you ever bought a piece of equipment that you thought would come in really useful only to leave it lying around for months because you could not figure out how to set it up? Or not set all the functions up, because it would have taken hours to read through the handbook, which looked as if it had been translated by a machine anyway?

Most people have undergone the situation at some time or another. I had an alarm clock once that had dozens of features like waking me up at different times on the weekend to during the week and arbitrarily choosing a radio channel every day to wake me up. It also had a feature with which I could train it to understand some voice commands, but I could not be bothered with all that.

I simply wanted it to wake me up whenever I set it. Video recorders are similar devices. How many times do you hear of people setting their video recorder to record a film only to get a documentary on another channel? It used to occur a lot, didn’t it?

The point that I am getting at here is that the designers of these machines have been told to put as many functions as possible into them up to a price in order to be all things to all people. However, in making their machines so convoluted, a great deal of people decide not to bother using them at all and will avoid that make in the future, which is the exact opposite of what the manufacturers wanted.

The next time you go out looking for some electrical gadget, you will say to yourself: “Oh, So-And-So, you need a diploma to use one by So-And-So. I’m not buying one of theirs”.

So how can this affect you? Well, if you have to organize anything that you expect others to take part in or be enthusiastic about, try not to make it excessively complex. I am not saying ‘dumb-down’, just don’t show off by putting all the bells and whistles on it simply to show that you can do that. People will not be grateful to you for it, they will take no notice of your undertaking.

This has a great deal of implications for on line projects where people can be thousands of miles apart but still be collaborating on a joint development from home. Open source programming is a fine example of this type of work. The team leaders should keep everything as simple as possible if they want the maximum co-operation.

One technique that you can use to test to see if your venture is being understood is to ask. It sounds obvious and it should be, but a lot of team leaders will not ask because they think that it makes them look weak and unknowledgeable. Again, in fact, the opposite is the case. A good team leader is not a tyrant; a good team leader is a good organizer and is considerate.
