Added for You - The A-Z of Web 2.0 Jargon
All right, that's a bit strident.Some professional resume writers would strongly recommend an objective statement. There's nothing necessarily WRONG with one, but I think it's a challenge to make any objective strong and compelling enough, and sometimes it gives you enough rope to hang yourself.A typical objective statement goes something like this:"A challenging position with a respected and dynamic company in the industry."Let me rephrase that for you:"A job."Most resumes have such a poorly written objective that the person reading uses it for garbage bin target practice.Don't misunderstand me here. It's possible to have a well-written objective statement. That would look something like this:"An extremely motivated Senior Manager with a proven track record in operations management and quality improvement. Possessing expert TQM skills in addition to excellent communication, interpersonal and analytical skills. Seeking a challenging position where these skills will be used fully."That objective statement probably won't get your resume thrown out.See the difference?The first resume obj

Many of us have heard of the current trend for businesses to become ‘customer-centric’, that is, to put the customer at the centre of our business in terms of our strategies, actions and processes. For most of us, old truths still hold good, such as it’s easier and more profitable to sell to existing customers than to find new ones. In practice, organisations are increasingly setting themselves strategies to measure and ensure customer retention, and charging their staff to be more customer-focused and service-oriented. Many organisations now approach the ‘lifetime value’ of customers (calculated as the typical number of purchases per year multiplied by the average purchase value multiplied by the expected number of years of the customer relationship) and seek to increase it.In the modern era building customer satisfaction and loyalty is a key we say to profitable business – but do many of us really know why? And what we should really be doing to achieve this goal?A good method to establish whether our customers are satisfied with us has been to ask them. Customer feedback mechanisms such as surveys, focus groups, and even feedback forms in hotels and restaurants
A is for AJAX
Ajax is a town in Ontario, Canada, a brand of household cleanser and an acronym for Asynchronous JavaScript + XML or Advanced JavaScript + XML (see JavaScript and XML definitions below). In a nutshell, it stands for the technologies used in building applications like social bookmarking and social networking sites. Unless you’re a programmer, that’s pretty much all you need to know.
B is for Blogroll

Once upon a time there was a rug merchant who saw that a beautiful carpet he acquired had a large bump in its center. He gently stepped on the bump to flatten it out. He succeeded, but the bump reappeared in a new spot beneath the carpet. He jumped on the bump and it disappeared...for a moment, until it appeared in yet another new spot. Again and again he jumped, scuffing and mangling the rug in his frustration. Finally, he lifted one corner of the carpet and an angry snake slithered out.I love this story, which I found in a book by systems guru Peter Senge, because it leaves a vivid image of the problem created by failure to raise and address conflict at work---it just becomes the snake under the rug.A few years ago the Harvard Business Review published a piece of research about the price of silence during organizational or interpersonal problems at work. In “Is Silence Killing Your Company,” authors Leslie Perlow and Stephanie Williams explore the reasons for and the results of employees’ decision to keep silent instead of questioning or confronting a problem.They suggested there are several reasons people hold their tongues: It’s better, as the old

A great product does not necessarily mean you’ll even make enough money with it because your competitors with not-so-great products can sell more of theirs if they use certain marketing strategies that you’re not. We can learn some of the strategies and tactics used by some of the Master Marketers of not-so-great products and apply them to our great products to:1. Beat our competitors to a pulp; or 2. Create an impenetrable barrier for new competitors; or 3. Ensure our survival where competition is fierce; or 4. All of the above.An excellent case in point is Microsoft’s dominant Operating System (OS) software for computers. It started off as MS-DOS over a quarter of a century ago, and eventually became Windows XP today, with the next version called “Vista” on the way.Microsoft’s OS is generally felt to be inferior to Apple’s Operating System in many ways, even to this day - but yet it became and remains the dominant OS, powering over 90% of the world’s computers at this very moment. Over the years, I’ve had my fair share of Microsoft OS crashes, “Illegal Operation” messages, security problems, viruses and so on - yet I still buy computers wit

Direct sales incentives come in many forms, from cash bonuses for selling a given amount of a specific product, to selling to reach a specified sales quota. Some of these direct sales incentives do not always have an immediate cash value, but the idea of company wide recognition for that month, quarter or year, with perhaps an end of year bonus.The major questions might well be: What is the best direct sales incentive? What direct sales incentive will help companies keep their best and most productive representatives? The answer to these questions is not universal, every company has to evaluate their staff and create a direct sales incentive that is geared to their needs and their triggers. A good direct sales incentive is not necessarily the one with the largest cash value, unless of course that is the driving force that gets your reps going.There are companies that have survived on direct sales incentives that only provide certificates or letters of recognition and maybe also recognition at big company meetings or parties at the end of the year. This may not sound like much, but if recognition for a job well done is what your people need, then that will be the d

J is for JavaScript
JavaScript is a system of programming codes that can be added to the HTML code of a web page to make it do the cool interactive things you find in web 2.0. (The “J” in AJAX).
K is Knowledge Economy
Knowledge economy describes the use of knowledge to produce economic benefits. Social media is a way of sharing knowledge on a grand scale, using computer hardware and software, interactive websites, self-publishing platforms like blogs, forums and wikis (see W). This mass movement of knowledge may be monetized in many ways including affiliate revenues, e-books, software sales and service contracts that began with a search online, all contributing to the worldwide economy.
A number of New Zealand businesses had been identified as being highly innovative and leading their fields as a result of the knowledge and intellectual creativity that went into their products and services. The resulting success is seen as a pathway for others to follow.
Various observers describe today's global economy as one in transition to a "knowledge economy", or an "information society". But the rules and practices that determined success in the industrial economy of the 20th century need rewriting in an interconnected world where resources such as know-how are more critical than other economic resources.
Here, there may be a need to differentiate with the Web Economy of Google, Skype and Ebay that seems to have created wealth based more on services dependent on mass interconnectivity rather than on knowledge-based skills.
