How to Use LinkedIn to Build Your Side Hustle

Maid services are not for everybody but in a house where all members are working people or a house that's too large to clean oneself, hiring a maid service becomes necessary. Not only are the maids good at what they do but they carry a professional attitude not always found in independent maids.An adherence to good work ethics is required by services that run a tight ship. This isn't always the case with all services so clients need to look for one with glowing recommendations and one that has been in operation for several years. A good source is through word of mouth and even internet forums which provide real client testimonies on existing services.What about background checks? Only a few cleaning services actually run background checks on their employees. These are the ones worth checking out because they value client safety and by doing so, reduce the risk posed to them if something goes wrong. The best way to find out which service does run a check is by asking outright. Those that do will be more than willing to advertise the fact and will be happy to provide proof.How competent are professional maids?

20 Things to Remember When You Network

1. Smile. Your smile is your billboard advertisement. People see it from afar. It says, you're friendly, happy to be here and excited about life. It will draw them closer to "read you more."

2. Offer a firm handshake. Personal touch is powerful and it says a lot about you. A weak handshake can be interpreted as lack of passion for life while a heavy one can literally hurt someone.

3. Introduce yourself first. Many people are intimidated in a public setting. Make them feel at ease by first telling them your name, nature of your business and handing them your card asking for theirs in return. Look at his/her card and repeat his/her name (it's the sweetest name in his/her ear).

4. Make eye contact. Don't look over the person's shoulder as you search for a "higher net worth" contact. Give undivided attention to the person you're talking to. This indicates respect and makes them feel important.

Is Office-Based Working More Productive Than Remote Working?

There has been an ongoing debate about whether companies should allow their employees to work remotely or insist that they are office-based ever since Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer announced early in 2013 that she was revoking the company's remote working policy. Although she has declined to comment on the decision the argument reportedly is that the company needs employees to be able to communicate and collaborate quickly by working side by side, but also because ideas often come about via casual conversations between colleagues at the coffee machine or in discussions over a meal break. There is also a perception that a problem with having employees working remotely from home is that there is a loss of speed and of quality in some of their activities. From the employee's perspective it is also argued that those who work remotely are often treated as "second tier" compared with those colleagues who are in the office every day. This is a cultural issue, however, with only anecdotal evidence although there are some surveys that have shown that more than half of the bosses asked disapproved of remote working.

International Trade, or Modern Mercantilism

The world today operates as a global village, where individuals and establishments are connected by communications and travel. This has intriguing implications on the world economy; it no longer is the question of 'wealth of nations' but 'wealth of other nations'. Communications and travels spread out the assets, labour, goods, services as well as the invisible hand that drives the market of demand and supply, of one country to the others. If one considers the international trade as one global system, obviously it can have serious brunt on the ecology of the planet, since controls are now decentralised.
As the humanity advances, countries oscillate between the mode of internal wealth created by local resources and markets, and international wealth realised through international trade. In future, the wellness of a nation or its prosperity would depend on how cleverly its leaders manage their own wealth, and the wealth of other nations. International trade is based on strengths or weakness of resources of nations, is what a novice would believe. The reality is that trading partners take to this battlefield well equipped with the original principles of mercantilism. They have even advanced these principles.
