Information on Computer Graphic and Design Schools



December11

Graphic design will be one of the fast growing job markets by 2014. The most in demand jobs will be concentrated around graphic design, designing websites and computer animation. The market will be highly competitive even when there are plenty of jobs available in computer graphic design. This is because this is a popular area of study, and many people pursue it as a career, a hobby, or a part time freelancing gig. A four year college degree or a Bachelors Degree is sufficient to become a computer graphic designer. Some technical positions can be obtained with only a two year college degree, or Associates Degree. However, this type of career will not go progress far without further education. Formal education is a must, if you want to pursue this career.

Nearly 3 in every ten of all those working as computer graphic professionals work as independent freelancers. Holding a regular job of a computer graphic designer or any other computer related profession is normal for nearly half of the freelancers. If you decide to opt for freelancing, it is a feasible option since there is a continuous stream of demand from smaller firms with computer graphic design requirement and who can not afford the fees of larger design companies.

There are several other career options in computer graphic design. You can seek a career in print or audio advertising, television or film media, and book or magazine publishing. Although not wide enough in terms of variety, a career in a small or large specialist company may throw up a steady stream of work. To keep your clients happy and get involved in new projects, you have to show them that you work hard. This is the responsibility of every freelancer in this profession.

If you wish to pursue this as a career, a college degree, desire, and knowing where you want to go is not enough. Development of skills in using computer graphic software and other computer-related work is essential. You should make a portfolio which carries a collection of some of your best work. The portfolio content can be a deciding factor on whether you would get the job or would still be in the queue.

As soon as you finish your college and have made up your mind as to what you want to do, your aim should be to get that first entry level job. Where can you get computer graphic design jobs? You can get them through online job boards, online or print classified ads or through the college or university placement desks. Freelance jobs can be found through online job boards, classifieds, and work for hire job boards. Because every one knows that this is a rather expensive endeavor, work for hire boards give better results for design careers than any other career. Wish you good luck in your pursuit for a graphic design career.

Joe Vitale Scam?



December11

It’s time to revisit Joe Vitale and see just what it is he is up to now

It’s time to revisit Joe Vitale and see just what it is he is up to now

Looks like ol Joe Vitale has hooked himself up with the film “The Secret”.

Another mystic way to improve yourself through the “Laws of Attraction”.

The film is largely influenced by Wallace D. Wattles’ 1910 book “The Science of Getting Rich.”

The Secret, described as a self-help film, uses a documentary format to present the Law of Attraction.

This law is the “secret” that, according to the tagline, “has traveled through centuries to reach you.”

The film features the short dramatized experiences and interviews of a team called “personal transformation specialists”, “spiritual messengers”, “feng shui masters”, what ever that is, and other experts, right!

As described in the film, the “Law of Attraction” principle posits that feelings and thoughts can attract events, from the workings of the cosmos to interactions among individuals in their physical, emotional, and professional affairs.

The film also suggests that there has been a strong tendency by those in positions of power to keep this central principle hidden from the public.

The previews or “clues” to the film, show men who “uncovered the Secret…”.

The film also includes quotes by historical figures, described by producer Rhonda Byrne in the voiceover as “past secret teachers.”

Byrne states in the voiceover, “I can’t believe all the people who knew this; they were the greatest people in history.”

The people identified include: Hermes Trismegistus, Buddha, Aristotle, W. Clement Stone, Plato, Isaac Newton, Martin Luther King Jr., Carl Jung, Victor Hugo, Henry Ford, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein, Robert Collier, Winston Churchill, Andrew Carnegie, Joseph Campbell, Alexander Graham Bell, and Ludwig van Beethoven.

Seeing as how all these people are dead it’s kind of hard to walk up to, e-mail them, or write them and ask them if they really believe in “The Secret” of if someone is just using their name to sell someone a “bill of goods” for their own profit.

Here’s a letter from “BK” who, IMO, seems to have his head on his shoulders and is thinking clearly.

BK from Fresno, CA. USA

Vitale is very believable and is listed as a “Metaphysics” expert. He and others expect you to believe that all you need to do is VISUALIZE what you want, FEEL what it will be like to receive it, and BELIEVE it will happen. Money (or whatever you wish for) will fall from Heaven. Sure it will……..

Golly “BK” it doesn’t sound like you need to apply for your secret decoder ring to get “the Secret” you know it already.

Nothing comes to you just from thinking about it. “If wishes were horses, beggars would ride” seems to come to mind

This person has asked two questions that I had asked myself when I saw the “Dr.” in front of Joe Vitale’s name. Sounds like he took the time to find the answers.

Dr Loveless from Chicago, IL

“Dr.” … of what? “PhD, from where?”

The main problem I have with Mr. Vitale is that his academic credentials are questionable.

He attended Kent State University but apparently never graduated. Nothing wrong with that in itself, except that in order to get a legitimate PhD you have to not only graduate from a 4-year college or university, you usually have to earn a master’s degree as well.

You have to dig deep online to discover that Mr. Vitale’s “PhD” is from the non-accredited University of Metaphysics in Sedona, AZ.

I find it disturbing that in Mr. Vitale’s Hypnotic Gold program he makes a point of introducing himself as Doctor Joe Vitale, as if that is his main claim to fame. I wouldn’t mind so much if the content had value, but when he interviewed a 10-year-old kid for creating a website all about farting, I had to draw the line and cancel my membership.

Do you mean to tell me that Dr. Joe Vital’s PhD was made up out of thin air, kind of like farts? Must be, as there isn’t any base B.S. or B.A. for him to build on, to get his PhD.

Somehow that doesn’t surprise me when we are talking about a man who is trying to sell you on the idea that in order to get what you want all you have to do is think good thoughts about it and it will happen.

Ok after taking another look at Joe Vitale it seems as if he’s still trying to sell his same old line of BS that the power of good thoughts will get you what you want with out any hard work on your part

John Cummuta Will It Work?



December11

John Cummuta offers a downloadable Transferring Debt into Wealth Book for $39.95 and if you aren’t satisfied for any reason within a year he will pay your $39.95 back plus another $39.95. John Cummuta Transferring Debt Into Wealth will however ask you to write a personal descriptive letter/email to explain why you were not satisfied with his product. Here is what one person has to say about John Cummuta’s money back guarantee;

January 18, 2008 Linda R from Virginia. “I ordered a John Cummuta Debt Into Wealth CD from the radio but I had to go out of town and got busy for the next few weeks. Needless to say the 30 days lapsed and when I called today I was told I could not cancel because I was beyond the 30 days. I told them I no longer wanted this service and I was informed that I could not return the product and that I would continue to be charged the monthly rate for 4 more months! I did not want the service, but no dice. The best they could do was to eliminate the last monthly charge-big deal. I have not even opened up any of the folders. I am tempted to call or notify Clark Howard. Has anyone else had this experience?”

Hey what happened to that 1-year money back guarantee? This kind of blows that out of the water. Lets see what else people have to say about him.

November 4, 2005 Frank A. from California. “After ordering John Cummutas program Debt Into Wealth in May, I never received the product. However his company continued to pull out 5 payments at a cost of $80 dollars per month. I call his company and they gave me a phone number to call. After calling the customer service department and speaking to the most rude survive rep. who stated to me that they were not going to give my money back and that the package was delivered to me by FedEx at a time that I am not home from work.”

John Cummuta calls this Transforming Debt into Wealth because it does just that, it transfers money from your account into John Cummuta’s account Presto, no more debt. For John Cummuta.

March 12, 2008 John P. from Providence, RI “I downloaded the Turning Debt Into Wealth program and listened to all the audio. The system makes complete sense and would probably set off a light bulb in your head. Although, I did get a call from Prosper Learning shortly after and they wanted me to purchase a mentoring program from them for $8,000 to $14,000 dollars. I could not believe it; what a scam! Legal I’m sure.

When Are Voice Professionals Needed?



December11

Marketers working on ad campaigns would do well to remember the unique power of multimedia presentations. Regardless of whether your advertisement is to be played on television, on the Internet or online, an audio-visual element can be quite helpful in boosting the effectiveness of your marketing. On the graphical end, you will want to ensure that all of your logos, photography, and video shoots all creatively and professionally done. In regard to the audio element of a multimedia presentation, one cannot underestimate the advantage bestowed upon marketers who hire distinctive, professional voice over actors and actresses.

There are a variety of marketing media in which an audio element can be present, and marketers developing material for any of these should consider the possibility of hiring skilled voice talent. Don’t make the mistake of thinking you can just use someone you find around the office who enjoys public speaking– voice over work requires a specialized set of skills and talents, and many in your audience will be able to distinguish between a professional and am amateur. With efficient sourcing and interviewing, finding a great professional voice actor or actress is relatively easy, and the benefits of hiring one are manifold. Here are some situations in which a unique, professional voice can bolster the efficacy of your marketing:

Podcasting. Podcasts are becoming a popular addition to websites and blogs, and can help boost your brand, deliver important messages, and make it easy to highlight your products and services in the form of an announcement. Podcasts do not have to be recorded by a professional, but employing a vocal artist for the script can help you generate the right interest and help broadcast your message more effectively.

Business videos: Many marketers will find themselves developing business videos to be used internally. When you’re introducing a new product or making a sales demonstration to your valued clients, you want to present your message with the greatest possible degree of professionalism. When it comes to staff, clients, and prospective customers engaged in your business videos, professional voice talent can give you the edge.

Training videos or tutorials. Training videos, documentaries, and tutorials are other projects that can be much more effective with a professional voice talent. Consider hiring a professional actor for a variety of subjects so you can create a professional presentation with ease.

Telephone answering services: Organizations that conduct a good deal of business, for example in sales and ordering, often have automated answering systems. If you want your recorded messages to have the professional sheen with which you present yourself as a company, hiring a skilled actor or actress is always preferable to having one of your employees do the job. Your potential clients will hear the difference.

Online videos. Cheaper that television and radio spots, online video advertisements are rapidly growing in popularity. With such a large audience perusing the Internet, however, don’t you want to look and sound your best? Professional narration in your online videos is a simple way to polish the image you project to viewers.

In any of these situations (and many more), hiring professional voice actors will prove a highly beneficial way of increasing the power and reach of your marketing message, and ensuring that your presentations are as powerful as they can be.

Customer Focus: Usability - Part 1



December11

In Holland, a recent study found that half of the ‘faulty’ new electronic products returned to retailers, actually work perfectly well. The buyers simply could not figure out how to use their new mobile phone or entertainment system, and assumed it was broken.

Worse still, an American research suggests that around 10% of consumers damage or even destroy their high tech gadgets out of frustration. In one case, it was discovered that a restaurant manager had thrown his laptop into the deep fryer, ruining both the laptop and deep fryer.

High tech products aren’t the only things which people get angry over. The BBC reports that 90 percent of people feel frustrated or angry after talking with a call centre representative. I felt this last year when I was moving house as it took 167 minutes spread across 2 days and 9 phone calls just to get the phone switched over to the new address.

What amazes me even more is that companies spend so much on advertising a product or service and very little on advertising its ease of use. Ultimately, if a consumer has had a terrible experience with a particular product or service, chances are, no amount of advertising could persuade them to use that particular brand again.

Instead, organisations need to focus on improving the customer experience. This involves understanding customers’ expectations and the quality of their interactions across all aspects of the company, its services and products.

Understanding expectations is about knowing what customers want to do, and how they would like to be treated. These expectations can be entirely different, depending on the nature of the visit. A customer ringing for support may have very different needs to one looking at the website, wanting to buy the product. Customer expectations can be driven by word-of-mouth, advertising and their own previous experiences.

Just to make things more difficult, companies and organisations now have various ways for a customer to interact with them. Websites, call centres, email and local brances all need to provide the same consistent information which is appropriate to the limitations of that medium. Because different technologies can persuade people in different ways, some mediums are more suited for some interactions than others.

If a company can’t provide an adequate customer experience, angry customers, an eroding brand and lost revenue are sure to be the result. On the flipside, if an organisation or company can get its customer experience right, the benefits will include an increase in customer satisfaction, which leads to more sales. A differentiation in product/service will create a valuable competitive advantage, and improved brand perception will result in an increase in market share.

Cold Calling Mistakes - 8 Tips To Avoid



December11

1) Know Your Call’s Goal

Before you even pick up the phone, you need to have a clear idea of your intention and goal for the call. Do you have a direction that you want your prospect to head in after speaking to you? If you do not have a vision for your call, you are unlikely to achieve the end result that you want.

2) Don’t Give It All Away Too Fast

When your prospect says, “Send me some information,” that does not translate into them reading that information. Do not oblige them and send information just as a means to get off of the phone. Find out if they really want the information, or if they are just trying to get rid of you.

3) Bad Telephone Etiquette

Good manners and phone etiquette seem fairly simple. However, when you are on the phone, you might not even realize that what you are doing is obnoxious to the person on the other end of the line. It is best to not chew gum, eat, drink, or be trying to do other things while you are making a call. You will be distracted as well as your prospect.

4) Not Listening To Your Prospect

If you want to get a good idea about what your prospect thinks, you need to listen up. Make sure to ask questions, rather than monopolize the whole conversation. If you don’t listen, you won’t have success.

5) Making Your Fears The Prospects’

Although you might think that someone is pushing you off because they are busy at the moment does not mean that they don’t want to speak to you. Request a better time to reach them and then call them back at that time.

6) Not Asking Enough Questions

To find out what you need to know about your prospects, it is critical that you ask enough questions so that you can qualify them. Everyone loves to talk about their own life experiences, their family, and other things that interest them. By asking the right questions, you will build rapport and show interest in what is important to them.

7) Preparation In Key

You would be foolish to enter into an important presentation with little to no preparation. The phone is absolutely no different. Take some time to think over what you have to say. It might also be helpful to role play with a friend or loved one. Find out what areas you need to work on and smooth out the rough spots.

8) Request What You Want

You want to compel your prospect to action. It’s not good enough to tell them, you want them to do their due diligence and look into what you’re telling them. If you ask them to do something for you, then you have an opportunity to follow up with them and make sure that they did what you requested of them.

What Steps Do You Take To Recruit Ideal Talent



December11

When the economy becomes such a challenge it become ever more important to think intelligently and not get emotional about sourcing job candidates during this environment. If you invest wisely you can actually jump far ahead of your competition by intelligent marketing and planning whether that is your co-worker or a peer in another company.

Probably one of the best things you can do is take the time to put in a 80/20 rule for your employees if you are a manager. Keep on the top 20% of your most productive recruiters and extend their contracts to show faith during challenging times. Then you will need to look to trim the excess with the bottom 10% and look to even take more out if necessary.

With the middle 70% you are going to have to be intelligent and look at each situation by an individual basis to find out exactly what works and what doesn’t work during a challenging economy. Effort is so important with each person and often they just need time to prove themselves.

If you don’t have managerial responsibilities, you do have personal responsibilities you need to take care of and these same rules apply. You have to analyze with a fine tooth comb what works and what is wasting your time. It is amazing when you map out exactly what your day is filled with and what you actually get done.

Look to train and make improvements daily in your strategies and look for ways to do so after hours when you are not working. It is best to be smart with your efforts and implement methods and test them during the day and re-evaluate daily what is working well and what isn’t. You can be amazed what you can change with a few tweaks here and there.

What is going to be smart is to start planning your hiring needs by the quarter for all of your major positions that you are looking to fill. Get your line managers to also update their quarterly plans and have them preform quarterly tracking to find out exactly when you need to turn on your sourcing efforts even further.

The most important thing is that you need to find time to use online advertising tools like Entice Labs and Jobs2Web to attract your ideal customers. The more you do this the better chance you will have of finding the ideal candidates and decrease your cost per hire in a difficult marketing period.

These are going to be wise avenues for you to create a lot of money during this time that will save cost per hire and improve your time per hire. All of this can lead to a huge boom when we come out of this economic downfall.
