Checking the briefing offered by trendwatching.com is often very interesting. This month’s trend briefing was in the form of videos that addressed a few interesting questions.
There were two that were particularly interesting. One was Car vs Phone. It surveyed a fair number of people from all walks of life and in different countries as to [...]

What the unemployment figures are really telling us
An interesting statistic was mentioned in a post on Huffington. Unemployment for those making $150 000 a year was only 3% in the last quarter of 2009 whereas the percentage of unemployed was a staggering 31% for the bottom 10% of income (USA stats).
So much for an across the board unemployment rate. Put a figure [...]
The career of the future - internet marketer
Plying ones trade as an internet marketer is a fairly new profession. It was unheard of a few years ago to consider making a living by offering a good or service. Even the online giant of Amazon has only been around since 1995. That’s hardly a long time never mind a life time although it [...]

Wimbledon is quite something. It is such an English thing. For months leading up to the competition, the speculations are rife as to whether a Brit could possibly win it this time and just for a change. And the pressure on the poor English players is horrific.
Today is the first day of the competition [...]
Do you know how to sell
No matter what business you are in, what service you offer, what skills you have there is one underlying skill you have to have. You have to know how to sell. All business is about selling. In fact all life is one big selling campaign.
The point of business is to trade. I offer one thing [...]
A touch of advice for unemployed graduates
The current statistics of unemployed University graduates are quite alarming. Of course this is not necessarily a totally unique event. Forty odd years ago, my then fiancé was trying to find a clerkship with a firm of solicitors/lawyers. It took many months and the pulling of strings by family members before he managed to get [...]
Save thousands with an Article Writing Service
