ITS Provides Proven Rules for Job Hunters

Once a job offer is made, a lot of people think they have no basis for negotiating but they would be surprised, with the right approach, that they can often secure compensation packages beyond what they thought was possible. A key point to remember is that negotiating more at the start of a job can turn into a substantial amount of increased earnings over the course of several years. Once people achieve an increased level of earnings, they tend to maintain that difference over where they were for several years.

The negotiation process we recommend at ITS is easy to use. Based on our thousands of negotiations, it was carefully developed to be easy to use. It is based on common sense and the art of soft selling, so that you get what you want without offending the employer in any way.

There are five key areas you want to consider:

(1)   The initial offer, can you get it increased by 10% to 30%;

(2)   The responsibilities, can you expand them to a larger job that would pay more;

(3)   A signing bonus, which can be 10% to 30% of the salary in some cases;

(4)   The benefits, is the company willing to extend;

(5)   Stock options, whether they are available, and under what terms.

ITS gives job hunter’s guidance in each of those areas. There is also a lot of information on salary surveys to give you current information on which to base negotiations, and a cost-of-living comparison of various areas for those who are relocating. Senior level job seekers will be especially interested in the discussion of the various types of stock options and grants, exit strategies and severance agreements, and a dozen or so other benefits that can be a significant part of the total compensation package.

ITS offers Personal Marketing Services that goes far beyond Outplacement Career counseling. ITS uses its own unique technology to give job seekers access to as much as 85% of the advertised openings, including those from newspapers, recruiter openings, job boards, employer sites, and trade magazines. It also provides access to the unadvertised job market among employers, recruiters and growth companies.

OMG. Anne sat me across from this medical malpractice lawyer in Chicago who says he can get me 10 million dollars for my car accident! I nearly choked on my coq au vin. His name is Jason Kroot and he says that because the car insurance company overlooked the mistakes of my doctor, and since they cover his malpractice liability, that they had a serious conflict of interest in my case and therefore were deceptive in their investigation of his wrong doing. I am very glad to have met this intelligent and persusasive lawyer and will let you all know how it goes.

I didn’t go to law school expecting to become a personal injury lawyer. Chicago was, after all, where you went to become a supreme court justice, or maybe a class action litigator taking on populist causes and reaping unfathomable awards from them. But it just so happened that fate, in the form of a slippery floor at O’hare airport, led me to take personal injury and the complaints of those injured by negligence a lot more seriously. I suppose that sometimes it just takes a good knock in the head!

I’ve been doing karate and MMA at the best karate school in Miami for many years. I have an 8-year-old son who has watched me practice all my life, with awe, who I think would enjoy participating. That’s why I’m looking for a place that offers specially-tailored childrens karate in Miami. An all-kids class would probably be a better learning environment for him, not to mention a safer one, given that sparring is part of practicing the sport. If anyone has a suggestion (I’ve heard AKI is good) please feel free to share.

There is for most of the year, it’s simply too hot to get regular exercise outdoors in Miami unless you serve. So what’s a gal to do to stay in shape in the sauna that is Miami? Martial arts training are one of the best options I can think of. A constant schedule of classes makes it convenient. MMA and karate schools are air conditioned. The skills taught make me confident as a single woman that I could protect myself if I needed to. And the regular activity keeps me in shape, gives me a outlet to release stress from work, and is a disciplinary practice that makes it easier for me to make myself do all the things I need to do each and every day.

Have an idea for a product? Think you can get rich quicker than the other bozos you see pushing junk on TV? Get a patent, start producing, and get an infomercial! There really is no better way to get rich quick. Hire a Florida infomercial production company to make you a professional video advertising the benefits of your widget. A good company will make the pig impossible to see under all the lipstick they apply in the form of good video taping techniques, sound mixing, video editing, and more. Good luck!

When we think of TV, we most often think of the shows and movies we watch. And when we think about TV Channels, we generally consider them to be the biggest spenders on TV production – after all, they have to pay for television shows to get produced or else produce TV shows themselves. But it’s actually advertisers that spend the most on production – not TV channels. That’s why television commercial production is the largest employer of television producers. Not only do ads outnumber TV shows and take about 10 times longer to make on a production time to screen time basis, but consider that for every ad on TV about 2 more have been made but not used by the advertising company. This means that corporate ad production for television is incredibly competitive and that it makes sense to get only the best name in production to make your company’s ad.
