5 Rules to Make Your Reference an Asset

Five Rules to Make Your Professional Employment Reference an Asset:



It makes good business sense – and respectful professional etiquette – to stay in touch with your former bosses, as your efforts to stay connected with past employers could pay dividends many times over when they provide you with favorable professional references.



Given the ongoing upheaval in the nation’s job market, this timely advice comes from Heidi Allison, Managing Director of Allison & Taylor, the nation’s oldest professional reference checking firm. “If you were planning to hire someone and his or her former boss did not return your call looking for a professional reference, what message would that convey? In today’s highly competitive job market, people pay so much attention to their resumes and interview skills but, unfortunately, many fail to nurture their professional references that can make or break a successful job search.”



The most important rule for job seekers is to never leave your professional references to chance. If you are not 100 percent convinced that your professional references and past employers will relay positive comments about you to prospective employers, consider having them checked out. A professional reference-checking firm can either put your mind at ease, or supply you with the critical information and evidence that may be blocking your job search efforts.



So, what happens if a professional reference is indeed providing unfavorable or inaccurate information on a candidate to a prospective employer? Note there are indeed available remedies for such situations.



“Our firm hears poor to bad references on a daily basis,” says Allison. “We work with clients to explore the options available to them to assure their professional references portray them in the best light possible. The key is to first know what people are saying about them and then proactively addressing the situation as necessary.”



To enhance the chances of always landing the next job one wants, Allison suggests job seekers of all professional backgrounds follow these “Golden Rules of Job Reference Etiquette”:


Get Ready for BYOA (Build Your Own App)

While core enterprise systems such as ERP and CRM won't go away, they will increasingly be supplemented by more applications built to address specific business needs. However, it's who will do the development, not the process itself, that's the really radical part. Rather than creating application code, IT pros will instead design tools, objects and environments that will enable business users to build their own apps. Read more >


How Do You Differentiate Yourself?

Now that Nearly Every One is Social, How Do You Differentiate Yourself?



Facebook has over 600 million active users, and nearly 50% of those users are active on a daily basis. If Facebook was a country, it would be the third-largest in the world. Though hard to believe, it’s a reality that social media didn’t have any takers few years back and now there seems to be no room left on the overcrowded social media bandwagon. Twitter, too has come off age in the last couple of years, growing at a scorching pace.



While social media adoption in the business world is a mixed bag, it’s more of a norm rather than an exception in our personal lives. So, how do you stand out from the social media crowd? How do you ensure that your social efforts don’t end up being just another Facebook or Twitter profile with no rhyme or reason? Here are some tips on how to play the “It’s different” trump card for your social media efforts.

Women like silent men. They think they're listening. ~Marcel Achard, Quote, 4 November 1956 http://bit.ly/gl656q

Don't play dirty consultant tricks

Takeaway: Chip Camden offers his take on an article that characterizes consultants as vampires who are opponents of their clients’ best interests. He also shares tips on how to avoid playing dirty consulting tricks.



In 7 dirty consultant tricks (and how to avoid them), Dan Tynan adopts a highly mistrustful view of consultants as predators who are looking for any excuse to take your money in exchange for results that are less than you expected. Tynan offers suggestions for remedying each of the seven foul practices that he discusses, but I take exception to the characterization of consultants as opponents of their clients’ best interests. Therefore, I’ll examine each item in Tynan’s list from the perspective of the consultant, with the aim of preventing the problem altogether.

With that in mind, we’ve compiled a list of the top security apps in the Android Marketplace.


Convert Your Facebook Profile

How To Convert Your Facebook Profile To A Business Fan Page:



Facebook started off as a pure social network. As time passes, its creators and users both begin to realize its value proposition in the business world. So, Facebook launched “Pages” for business users analogous to “profiles” for personal users. In the business world, profiles became pages, followers became fans, the user interface changed to have a more business-centric appeal but the essence remained the same.



The launch of Facebook pages left many businesses wondering if they should now build a page or a profile? Those with existing profiles had a dilemma of whether to abandon their profile and build a page, have both a page and a profile or perhaps look for a means to migrate their existing profile into a business page.



Facebook recently launched a migration tool that converts a Facebook profile to an official Page with the click of a button, transforming friends to fans in the process. This is a welcome change to the cryptic process of creating a page from scratch and starting with an empty friends list.

Disasters happen. Unless you’re okay with losing all of your data, you need a good backup system. If you know this but haven’t got around to setting up backup on your PC, this is the guide to read.

“Stuff Happens: The Backup and Restore Guide” outlines everything you need to regularly back up your PC. Author Tina Sieber outlines backup strategies, what to backup and what tools to use for the job.

Backups are necessary because data has value. Whether this is sentimental, commercial, or legal value, a backup is a way of securing valuable information. The worst loss would be files of which we own the only copy in existence, such as personal documents or photos.

Protect these priceless files. Back them up. This guide can teach you how.

This guide explains:

  • How to use the built-in Windows 7/Vista backup tool.
  • Which files you should backup.
  • Putting your data and your operating system on separate partitions or disks.
  • The various kinds of backups you can run.
  • The costs and benefits of local, optical and online backups.
  • The benefits of syncing your files.
  • Alternative backup programs.

An open letter to Facebook about safety

Dear Facebook,



As you know, for some years we have been discussing with your security team our concerns about safety and privacy on Facebook.



Every day, victims report to us numerous incidents of crime and fraud on Facebook. They have been personally affected and are desperate for advice on how to deal with the consequences.



A frequent refrain from users who contact us is, ‘Why doesn’t Facebook do more to protect us?’



We have identified three simple steps you can take to better protect your users:



1) PRIVACY BY DEFAULT



No more sharing of information without your users’ express agreement (OPT-IN). Whenever you add a new feature to share additional information about your users, you should not assume that they want this feature turned on.



2) VETTED APP DEVELOPERS



It is far too easy to become a developer on Facebook. With over one million app developers already registered on the Facebook platform, it is hardly surprising that your service is riddled with rogue applications and viral scams. Only vetted and approved third-party developers should be allowed to publish apps on your platform.



3) HTTPS FOR EVERYTHING



We welcome you recently introducing an HTTPS option, but you left it turned off by default. Worse, you only commit to provide a secure connection “whenever possible”. Facebook should enforce a secure connection all the time, by default. Without this protection, your users are at risk of losing personal information to hackers.



Why wait until regulators force your hand on privacy? Act now for the greater good of all.



Your users tell us that these are issues they want resolved. So our question is simple: when do you plan to act?



Sincerely,



Naked Security
