Education Can Give You The Competitive Edge

Nowadays in which unemployment is high and jobs are scarce, many people are going back to school and get some kind of college education to freshen their minds and give themselves a huge advantage in this very competitive job market. Finding a job nowadays is very hard, and with many competition, it is best to arm ourselves with the right knowledge and tools to put ourselves on top of the lists of applicants. There is less demand and plenty of supply in the job market nowadays, many employers have the advantage to be very picky who they are going to hire, and they usually want the bests to join their team that can help grow their business or organization. So if there are several applicants that are applying the same job that you are applying, the applicant with whom the company believed that they can best benefit from as far as knowledge and expertise are concern then such applicant is most likely the one that will be hired. Inorder to arm yourself with knowledge and competitive edge, its best to be knowledgeable about the job tasks that you are applying for and you need to be able to prove not only in papers that you have what it takes, but also show in action your capability to get things done.

Education is one of the best gift that you can ever give yourself. Nobody can ever take your knowledge away from you. Once you know something and become an expert on it, then you become a pro. Its true that there are many free resources available online nowadays, but getting the motivation to regularly read your books, do your assignments, and study have been a difficult process for a lot of people if they decide to do it themselves. That's why being in a classroom, listening to a teacher explain the subject matter is still a very effective approach to learning, not to mention the certificate that you will receive at the end of the course is an easy proof that you can show during job application that you have what it takes.  Personally, I always want to know more about computer graphics and design, although I have some knowledge about the subject matter, I would like to be an expertise on it and learn all the new tools that experts use to get the job done in the graphic and design field. Depend on your line of interest, but if you are interested in becoming a Graphic Designer as well there are graphic design courses in Miami and other major cities that you can go to, its a step closer to your becoming an expert on. It helps a lot when you have a passion for something that you decide you want to learn because learning it is easier.

Gentle Giant Cat Fish

We have this cat fish for several years already. We bought her when she was a very tiny little fish, around an inch total length. Now, she is more than a foot long! Quite a gentle giant, I should say, doesn't move much, pretty much want to be left alone most of the time. Her favorite places in the tank is in the corner or dark places where the rest of the fishes give her the least destruction possible.

When we bought her at a local store, we were told that a cat fish is a great fish to have to keep the tank clean because they eat on algeas, so any algeas that are being developed in the tank can be a great food source for this gentle giant. You can also purchase algea tablets in most pet stores for feeding them.

We have several different types of fish in our tank. And our cat fish seems to get along with most of them pretty well. The only time I remember than she had a problem with another fish was when we had this super energetic bothersome Koi fish that drives her up a wall. It was not her fault though, the Koi fish was the one that bumps into her, and bothers her, and as a result she did try to chase that koi fish once in awhile. Unfortunately, that Koi fish passed away, and so far none of the other fishes we have seems to really bother her anymore. As long as she have her little corner away from the school of fish, she is pretty much happy and content!

Backup If You Are Going Paperless

For several centuries, when we think of office jobs, we think of papers and paperworks. But such concept has drastically changed these days. Nowadays, when you think of office works, computers come to mind. Using computers nowadays are neccessity in an office environment, nothing is foreign about it anymore, its a need and its just part of our days work. We use computers for writing notes, preparing print-outs, doing presentations and accounting, organizing business contacts and calendar, etc. We can literally almost eliminate the paper works all together and go paperless. The million dollar question is: What if your computer breaks down tommorrow unexpectedly? Can you function as a business? Can you do the normal tasks you do everyday and get things done without accessing your computer? If you answer a resounding NO to any of these questions then you are dependent on your computer to run your business and in this regard, you need to backup your files and data that you do online that way when a freak instant and your computer breaks down, you have other means of accessing your data and can still function normally without totally being helpless when your system needs a repair. Time is money, you can use other computers but you cannot sit and wait for one computer to get fix before you get going again. When you have a backup of your files that you can access in another system while your computer is down then you are definitely in the higher rank of the heirarchy chart, putting yourself above your computer system. You manage the computer, dont let the computer manage you.

High Priced Disposable Laptop

Almost two years ago I purchased a brand new laptop with all the hypes and whistles available at that time. Its amazing how technology change so fast because everything in that laptop computer is turning obsolete in comparison to what is available nowadays. The worst part is that its only been almost two years and its no longer functional. Since I didnt availed the extended warranty, I cannot get help from the manufacturer without paying to get help or assistance from them which kind of a bummer because paying almost a thousand dollars for an item that broke down even before two years and not get any fixing help is really poor customer service on their part. So we been trying to figure it out ourselves, by process of elimination, having disected such computer, its clear that its not the battery, the ac adapter, nor the CPU that is the problem. Its probably the motherboard that is having an issue which is a complete bummer because it should not have such problem only after two years. In my opinion, motherboards should last a lifetime, atleast 10 years.

Its sad that many computers are built to fall apart within the first two to three years of its purchase, basing on all the readings and research that I have done, I am definitely not alone having issues with broken computer just after two years. Im sure I can find a way to fix it, but the sad thing is the specifications are a little bit outdated as today standards. I only have 4GB RAM, when you can get 8GB to 16GB RAM nowadays. I have a dual core processor in this laptop when nowadays the more powerful quad core, or even six core are already out in the market! Not to mentioned such laptop only have 300GB hard drive, it sounds like a lot of memory at that time but its hardly any space for a person with all the games, graphics, photos that we store nowadays, right? I would definitely prefer atleast 750GB up to 2TB in it.

The amount of money I paid for my laptop two years ago, I can definitely get three times better unit and new. By trying to upgrade my laptop, I would be better off buying a new one. Upgrading RAMS, CPU, hard disk takes time and money and everything adds up, by the time I add everything, I can probably get a new computer cheaper with better and faster performance than my upgraded one. As a consumer, makes you feel like your high priced (one thousand dollar) investment is just a disposable item when they only last for two years by either breaking down or becoming outdated.

Knowledge Is The Key

I contacted the customer service of one of our utility service regarding a unit we have that is not working or functioning properly. After several hours of interaction with the customer service, the issue was never resolved and told me that he burned out all the possible options and resources available to for him to solve the issue. So he assumed that the unit is the problem and need to be replaced, instead of the connections or settings. We finished our interaction without the issue being solved.

Few hours later, I decided to contact the customer service, this time its another person on the other end of the line. The new customer service representative handling my concerns of their service was definitely more knowledgable. She managed to go through all the mace of the issues, and found a solution in few minutes and was able to let the unit function properly.

Same unit, same service, different customer service representative, one dont know what to do, the other one was able to solve the problem of their service with a breeze. Its amazing what knowledge can do. One knew their service in and out, the other one still need to familiarize more with their system and be able to solve issues that come up with their services and help their customers more effeciently and quickly.
