Finding a good work-at-home job is not easy. Although you see all the online advertising, there aren’t that many of them. Those that are available may require that you live in a certain area or spend at least some time in the office. Others may be only part-time jobs.
    Keep in mind that the skills needed for home employment are similar to those needed for working in an office. You’ll also need a home office with a high speed internet connection, phone, fax, computer, printer, and other basic office equipment.
    To get started, consider your job search as your job. Spend as many hours per week on your job search as you would spend working. If you’re looking for full-time work, you should be spending fill-time hours seeking a job.
    Networking (人际联系) remains the top way to find a job and it does work. Develop contacts—friends, family, even the other job seekers—anyone who might have the information you need. You can take a direct approach and ask for job information or try a less formal approach and ask for information and advice. Contact everyone you know and tell them you want to work from home. You may be surprised by the people they know and the job information they can provide.

    Running your small business requires good staff. Once you find them, you don’t want to let them go elsewhere.
    During an employee's time with a company, there are a number of forces that influence his or her behavior. I like to refer to them as “push” and “pull”. You’re either pushing an employee towards the door, or pulling them deeper into your organization.
    Suppose that you’ve made a good hire and you want to keep the employees, the trick is to recognize individual needs of employees and satisfy those needs, within reason, in order to keep pulling them away from the door. Even if you can't pull them away from the door, at least don’ t do things to push them out the door.
    Recognize that some employees will lose interest and need something fresh to keep their interest. If you can't continually provide challenges, opportunities for promotion and other interesting and rewarding opportunities, then you’ll have some employees leave through no fault of your own.
    The important thing is to identify your key employees and make certain they are being treated well. Communicate with them on a regular basis to make certain that you understand what makes them behave in a particular way, and be aware of concerns they may have about job satisfaction.

    Over two-thirds of Americans now book their flights online. But when is the best time to book to get a cheap flight? Flying on Wednesday is a good way to save money: you’ll find emptier and cheaper seats. If you can't avoid flying on a weekend, at least BOOK your flight on Wednesday; airlines tend to raise their fares on Friday and bring them back down on Monday. Another suggestion is to book your flight after the 7th of every month.
