Business Development for National Shopping Service
Though the name itself may seem a bit mysterious, the concept of mystery shopping is actually straightforward. Also referred to as secret shopping, performance evaluations, service checks and frontline evaluations to name a few, mystery shopping allows companies to obtain a “snapshot in time” by trained researchers who know in advance what they are to evaluate. It provides management a method to quickly yet efficiently evaluate their business practices, deliverables, and employees from the perspective of a non-biased consumer. Mystery shoppers visit or call businesses posing as ordinary customers and provide detailed evaluations of their experience using written reports or questionnaires."

The Interview Coach
Since no two interviews are alike, it is difficult to be prepared for what lies ahead, but you can focus on your presentation skills, which may be even more important than what you have to say. Three areas of performance, which should be considered dangerous and deadly, are worth spending some time thinking about before your next interview."

Conducting a job search is a wonderful opportunity for you to discover more about yourself, clarify what you want in a job, and determine where you're career is heading. Most people however, get so wrapped up in the actual job search tasks that they neglect important step. Writing your resume, looking for work, and interviewing, are all important steps for finding a new job. But without doing the necessary inner work of assessing and identifying what you really want, you may wind up in job that doesn't maximize your strengths, move you forward in your career, or bring you joy and professional growth."

“R-E-S-P-E-C-T / find out what it means to me” is a line made famous by Aretha Franklin, and one that recruiters have adopted as their mantra. This is probably because there is a love-hate relationship between candidates and recruiters. Specifically, candidates love what recruiters can do for them, but at the same time, aren’t fond of the fact that they need their services. "

You have to contact employers one by one, spend your time traveling and lugging your portfolio to their offices. Well, things have changed, and for the better let me tell you. Now you can make your own on-line portfolio on the Internet, and send its web page address to numerous design companies at once so they can all see your work easily. You don’t even have to leave your house and organizations all over the world can access your work easily."

Cathy Goodwin writes: "Very few people change careers by the book: listing their strengths, identifying options and aggressively pursuing choices. When career specialists conduct research on life change, they find that most people can point to a chance encounter or a moment when everything came together. The word "serendipity" has begun to appear in staid research journals. Experts have begun to realize that career choice is about being open to what lands - sometimes literally - in your lap.
So how can you attract - not attack - your next career?"

Cathy Goodwin writes: "You're considering a new career, new place to live, new business, retirement, or any major life move. You ask, "Will I be happy?" If you remember the old, old song, "What will be" may not be the answer you're looking for."

This is often the only thing that a potential employer has to base a hiring decision on since they most likely will not be interviewing you in person, your resume has to make that great first impression for you.

The Interview Coach
Good news! You've been invited back for a second interview (or a third or fourth). But, you feel that you've already covered everything in the first interview? How will this interview be different from the first? How do you prepare for the second round?"

Cathy Goodwin writes: "Myth #1: Your resume will get you the job.
Reality: A great resume may not be enough to land the job. Other candidates may meet the qualifications more closely. Unwritten rules may govern the hiring process. When you answer an ad, your cover letter may be even more critical than your resume."
