"The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference." — Elie Wiesel, French-American writer and 1986 Nobel Peace Prize winnerJack and Elizabeth are in their mid seventies and love life. They had fulfilling careers and raised three children who now have families of their own. There aren't enough hours in the day for all they like to do. Walking, swimming, traveling, volunteer work, community service club activities, family gatherings, hobbies, and reading keep them very busy. Jack has been taking a few university courses in religion, philosophy, and literature. Elizabeth has just been certified as a master gardener. When they can squeeze it in (and they feel emotionally up to the challenge), they try to help out their neighbors, the Reddens (who are about 10 years younger).Howard Redden is practically a shut-in with his ailing heart and numerous other health probl

Audit Jobs Overview and Requirements
In order to attract the best and brightest of those newly qualified to take audit positions – both internal and external – companies are going to have to come up with more money. A major survey of HR professionals at the Big Four firms and recruitment firms states that salaries for entry level audit jobs will increase up to 25% over the next two to three years. All this has taken positions in audit out of the back office and made audit jobs some of the most hotly recruited positions out there.External auditors are charged with looking over the accounts and business dealings of firms to which they are contracted and ensuring that their practices meet all the legal compliance standards. They check that the financial accounts present a ‘true and reasonable’ picture of the firm’s position, and show the profit or loss for the year. Those in internal audit jobs have the task of ensuring that their firm is in compliance with increasingly complex regulations and standards and makes recommendatio

Moonlighting Jobs as a Computer Consultant for Small Business
Securing moonlighting jobs as a computer consultant for small businesses is difficult because you're typically working when the small businesses are closed. You need the flexibility to carry out your moonlighting jobs during the evening and on weekends and many small businesses are not going to be comfortable with that arrangement. These business owners want to interact with their consultants on their time and prefer you to work around their schedule rather than vice versa.A straightforward solution for securing small business moonlighting jobs as a computer consultant is to target businesses where there is a natural fit between your time frame and their schedule. Businesses that are open in the evenings like restaurants, health clubs and call centers are one source of moonlighting jobs. Others include businesses that run second or third shifts and even those that operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week.The problem with this method is that these clients are not necessarily ideal, full-time customers, unless, of course, you e

Listening to Customers - 5 Tips
In a strange juxtapositioning of articles, this month's UK 'Management Today' has three pieces, relating to the importance of listening to customers.Susan Rice, CEO of Lloyds TSB makes it clear how vital it is for great leaders to listen and hear. She uses the example of how Coca Cola was swift to 'hear' it's customers when they revolted against New Coke back in 1985 (good job too, it was yuk!). She also rails against the viability of change programmes where over 70% fail to meet the original objectives. A dismal return, pretty consistently due to failing to hear the needs of staff as well as customers in the business.Fast forward to page 19, where a small piece follows the situation Henry Ford precipitated in the early 20's, with his policy of 'any colour as long as it's black', for his new revolution in car making, the Model T. This worked very well for a few years, giving Ford an enormous 57% of the market. Yet this historic icon of manufacturin

The Sea Freight Industry is Failing to Meet Its Schedules
A recent survey of the reliability of scheduling in the sea freight industry has revealed worrying results. The survey examined sea freight schedules on a worldwide basis. It demonstrated that over 40% of the world’s cargo carrying ships arrived at their destination at least a day late. In many cases ships arrived in port well over several days late.The survey derived results from an examination of 3,300 ships arriving on 23 east-west and north-south routes. It was part of a quarterly review of the global sea freight industry.Although the survey showed that nearly 60% of all container ships arrived on time, the overall results were not inspiring. 22% of all the container ships arrived a day later than their scheduled arrival date. Moreover, 21% of the ships that were tracked arrived more than one day late.The results from the survey also showed that there were large variations in performance between the different sea freight operators. Between December last year and April this year, on time arrival ranged betw
