A Mozilla Browser Is Coming to iPad, but It's Not Firefox [IPad Apps]

Because Apple won't allow any browser technology besides Webkit on iOS, Mozilla can't bring Firefox to Apple's mobile devices. But instead of ignoring the platform completely, they're working on Junior: a Webkit-based browser that eschews tabs and the standard URL bar in favor of a new UI. More »

The Business of the Law Firm: Better risk management to prevent

MH900422602Operating a law firm is a business.? And like all businesses that demands lots of attention to risk management.? Law firms, for example, have to adopt a defensive stance on what kinds of clients they accept, what kinds of cases, how it handles those cases, and avoiding any appearance or reality of a conflict of interest.?

The number of large malpractice claims against law firms is rising, reports Tom Huddleston, Jr. of THE AM LAW DAILY.? According to a survey by insurance broker Ames & Gough, the overall number of malpractice claims is down for the first six months of 2012.? However those of at least $500,000 have increased.

Responding to what one perceives as subpar service which caused harm with a lawsuit has become commonplace.? The former Norman Rockwell?kind of bond?between a service provider and the customer or client is rare to find.? When a cordial relationship exists it often represents a calculated approach by the customer or client to enhance the odds of getting good service.? That mindset is honed in Dale Carnegie human relations basic courses.

Even in my field of communications more of us are selective in who we agree to work with.? If we smell a "troublemaker" or the possibility of trouble, we?provide a nice cover story for not taking the account.? This goes back to the 80/20 rule, that is, 80% of our revenues comes from 20% of our clients.? The trick is to find and keep the right 20%.? To extend that rule, one might say that 80% of the possibility of a malpractice suit comes from those kinds of clients who represent only about 20% of the kinds of business which are available to us.

In this economy, you need a college degree

By Allison Linn

If you want to get a job in this economy, it's becoming increasingly clear that you better also be thinking about getting an education beyond just a high school degree.

The government reported Friday that the unemployment rate for college graduates fell slightly in May, to 3.9 percent from 4 percent a month earlier.

For people with just a high school degree, the unemployment rate increased to 8.1 percent, from 7.9 percent a month earlier.

The overall unemployment rate was 8.2 percent in May, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said. That reflects even higher rates of unemployment among those who don?t even have a high school degree.

In general, it?s long been the case that people with a college degree have an easier time finding a job, and make more money, than those who have just a high school degree. But in the past year or so, as the job market has improved slowly and in fits and starts, the gap between education levels has become especially stark.

That?s a trend that experts expect to continue as the job market increasingly comes to rely on more skilled workers and has fewer options for people with just a high school degree.

?We?re not creating jobs in that arena, period,? said Diane Swonk, chief economist at Mesirow Financial.

The?number of college graduates who are employed increased by about 1.5 million in the past year, to nearly 46.4 million people as of May, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The number of people who just have a high school degree and are employed has actually fallen very slightly, to 33.9 million people, the government data shows.

The trends in the employment data aren?t surprising to Jack Downing, a managing partner with the job placement firm MRINetwork WorldBridge Partners.

In the past six months or so, Downing said he?s started to see such high demand for college graduates, particularly in fields such as engineering and information technology, that some candidates are fielding multiple job offers.

That?s a situation he said he and his partners hadn?t encountered in three years, and that is catching picky employers off guard.

On the other hand, Downing said, he?s finding that the job search is much tougher for people with just a high school degree, particularly if they?ve had a long bout of unemployment and may face the perception that their skills and experience are out of date.

Downing said one problem for people without an advanced education is that low-skilled jobs are increasingly moving overseas or being consolidated.

Another issue is that employers are increasingly asking for candidates with a college degree even for jobs that might once not have had that requirement.

?They have an option now, so they?re going to take somebody with a college education over somebody that?s not (got a degree),? Downing said. ?It shows a commitment to themselves. It shows that they can learn, and most likely are going to be committed to career development.?

Downing doesn?t expect the preference for more educated workers to change, even if the economy starts to improve more quickly and more jobs become available.

Still, college isn?t for everyone, and Swonk said the changing job market does have options for people who don?t want to get a four-year degree. She said there is high demand for people who have done certain shorter-term, specialized training in trades like welding, or in fields such as aerospace.

The key is making sure you get trained in a field where there is demand for workers.

?You need, minimally, some kind of an education to get a job,? she said. ?The question is, are you getting the right education??

The unemployment rate for people with some college or an associate?s degree was 7.9 percent in May, slightly lower than for people with less education.

Of course, in this economy even people with a college degree are finding the job market difficult, and that?s particularly true?if they are fresh out of college. The unemployment for younger workers is generally higher than for older workers, and many are struggling with high student loan debt loads.

Do you think it's possible to get a good job with just a high school degree these days?

What Is So Good about Outsourcing Your Call Center? | PAUSA ...

Many businesses have discovered that outsourcing their calls have been advantageous. Businesses are now looking at their choices regarding the call center location. There are a number of reasons why a company would want to outsource the call center operations to another outfit.

First of all, outsourcing saves money. This can include money that an organization would normally spend on training, equipment and staff. You have another company providing services for you without the expense of providing it for yourself.

Next, an organization can outsource the call center operations and remove the burden of having your own call center and use your staff to perform other important company tasks. An organization outsources contact centre services because the contact centres are able to respond when the volume of contacts increases or decreases. The contact centres can increase the number of employees available to answer calls or decrease the number of employees dependent upon what is needed.

You are able to maintain brand loyalty when consumers call with concerns and receive prompt, friendly service. These quick resolutions will boost assurance in your company. Next, you have a telemarketing group that is set up for any type of services you need. The group has the employees and the know-how to make any vision come to fruition.

The telemarketing agents are available around the clock. Your clients can call the telemarketing office and always get someone on the line to answer questions. The clients never have to deal with the office being closed. You also save money on the equipment. You get not only the expert skills, you also save money on the equipment that is essential to handle all the calls you will receive.

Telemarketing centers are devoted to offering outstanding service to your clients. They are extremely knowledgeable about the services and products you offer to customers. These agents receive their training from someone else. You give them the directions and the potential. The telemarketing center management and trainers provide training to the agents.

The contact centre offers language support for customers. Your customers come from varied backgrounds. You cater to an international audience with your products and services. A contact centre can offer you the staff that speaks the languages you need.

A telemarketing center can cause great growth in the amount of calls received when a new product campaign is started. An outsourced telemarketing center is equipped to take care of the influx of calls that you might be unable to handle otherwise.

Now, you have the reasons why contact centres are outsourced. Are these reasons valid enough to encourage you to make the move to outsourcing? Or do you still need to be persuaded?
