TMI Executive Resources Shares Top 5 Career Changing Pitfalls

With the epic number of layoffs over the past year and a tough job market, many unemployed executives are faced with the challenge of reinventing themselves. TMI Executive Resources (http://www.TMIer.com), a firm providing outplacement and career consulting services to thousands of clients around the globe, share their insight on potential career changing pitfalls.

In an article in the Harvard Business Review, “Beware the Pitfalls of Global Marketing,” the author began this way: “Shortcomings in a campaign, like over-standardization and poor follow-up, can fell a good product.” These shortcomings, which in many cases also handicap the job campaign, are thoroughly addressed by TMI Executive Resources.

The company’s team of expert consultants outlines the top five pitfalls that handicap the job campaign:

1. Insufficient Research. Formal research is not alien to marketing decision making, yet many a job search program has been kicked off without the benefit of a reality test. Job seekers need to determine answers to a number of key questions such as: How viable are my options? Which are most appropriate? Short-cutting this early step is likely to be costly sooner or later in one’s career.

2. Rigid Implementation. When a job search is burdened with too many conventional methods, inventiveness is lost. Objectivity, innovation and an individualized program consisting of a strong communications strategy (writing, personal presentation, negotiating) is necessary to stay updated and responsive to changing market conditions.

3. Poor Follow-up. Impressive meetings and splashy presentations to company heads are important “attention-getters” at the start of a campaign. But the momentum will be lost if these are not followed up by concrete steps to monitor progress, debate issues and solve problems as they occur. These post-launch activities can determine whether or not your efforts will be productive.

4. Narrow Vision. Narrow vision is a serious problem. In most cases only a single (non-objective) perspective is presented during the launch and beyond. Without a forum for debating issues and alternatives, and for developing solutions, decisions will be narrow and insular. This will inevitably hamper your marketing process. A key contributor to the problem is a job searcher’s insistence on a home-brewed recipe for self-positioning and self-marketing in an already crowded and competitive job market.

5. Over-Standardization. A standardized, off-the-shelf marketing approach taken to a job search can be dramatically limiting due to the current economic environment. Since the job market is dynamic and changing, flexibility should be built into your program’s implementation. Absence of flexibility becomes an obstacle to competitive advantage.

“TMI Executive Resources has developed an approach to help people avoid these pitfalls and find the right career opportunities at the right income. As career management experts we can bring great knowledge, convenience and speed to most people’s efforts,” explained Rick Story, Executive Vice President.

Stoneham/DirectBuy blood drive to be held on July 22, 2pm to 8pm

STONEHAM, MASSACHUSETTS…

Supporting the blood supply is a community-wide responsibility. That’s why DirectBuy is teaming up with the American Red Cross to host a blood drive on Wednesday, July 22, 2009.

The American Red Cross blood bus will be at DirectBuy of Boston North’s 100A Fallon Road location in Stoneham between the hours of 2pm and 8 pm. Walk-ins are welcome. However, due to limited space in the Donor Center, the Red Cross encourages donors to make an appointment by calling 1-800-GIVE-LIFE or logging on to www.givelife.org.

As an added incentive for donors to make an appointment in advance, all presenting donors will receive a coupon for a free carton of Friendly’s Ice Cream. A scheduled appointment is required to receive the coupon.

“A safe and sufficient blood supply must be on the shelves when patients need it most, and the only source of blood is a generous blood donor,” says Donna M. Morrissey, Director of Public Relations and Corporate Affairs, American Red Cross – Northeast Division. “The American Red Cross is appreciative of DirectBuy for its support of our life-saving mission.”

The need for blood is constant. Every day, the Northeast Division must collect 2,000 units of blood just to meet the basic needs of patients across New England. The difference a donor can make in the life of a patient is something that cannot be overstated.

Blood can be used for patients undergoing many surgical procedures, organ transplants, trauma and chemotherapy. For some patients, such as the victim of an automobile accident, the need for blood is sudden. For others, ongoing transfusions are needed to sustain lifesaving medical treatment.

“As a member of the Stoneham business community, we’re happy to host this blood drive,” said Carl Krawczyk, managing partner of DirectBuy of Boston North.  “We urge our members and residents of the greater Stoneham area to come out and donate. Your donation could save up to three lives.”

Charitable endeavors are nothing new for DirectBuy. DirectBuy locations across Canada and the United States are active contributors to many local non-profits and charities, including the Boys & Girls Clubs, Salvation Army, YMCAs, Homes for Our Troops and Children’s Hospitals.

Since 1971, DirectBuy has helped consumers enjoy enormous savings on home furnishings, home improvement items, entertainment and outdoor products, and accessories, by providing an avenue to purchase directly from the manufacturer. Conveniently located at 100A Fallon Road in Stoneham, Massachusetts, just north of the City of Boston, DirectBuy offers members a comfortable setting, where they finally have the financial control of buying direct.

For more information on a DirectBuy membership, you can call 781-279-4433 or visit http://www.directbuycares.com.

The American Red Cross has been a primary supplier of lifesaving blood products in the United States for more than 50 years. The American Red Cross Blood Services — Northeast Division supplies a wide range of blood components, plasma derivatives, and transfusion services to over 200 hospitals and other medical facilities throughout Maine, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Connecticut.

*In the state of Maine and Massachusetts, persons who are 16 years of age are eligible to donate blood with parental consent.

Clean carpets and floors on the horizon…Green Horizons carpet and floor cleaning service to serve Metrowest, South Shore and SE Mass.

STOUGHTON, MA…

Green Horizons Carpet Cleaning and Floor Care, a division of Drysdale’s Total Floor Care, recently began operations for both commercial and residential customers to the west and south of Boston.

As the “green” in its name suggests, Green Horizons cleans rugs and carpets without chemicals. The low-moisture process Green Horizons uses, perfected over the last two decades, is better for the environment and avoids potential damage to carpeting, carpet
pads and to wood floors that can occur with “splash and dash” steam cleaners. Not to mention saving customers hours, even days’ worth of wet carpeting.

“When you think of carpet cleaning, environmentally friendly doesn’t exactly come to mind. You think of large machines with chemicals and steam,” said Micaela Parsons, who along with partner John McGrath, owns and operates Green Horizons. “The process we use truly is a green way to clean floors and carpeting. It has been recognized in a McGraw-Hill Book, Build a Green Small Business and our parent company is the only carpet cleaning business in New England listed in the National Green Pages.”

Besides recognition from green publications, the company has also received a “Best of Boston” recognition from Boston Magazine and maintains an A rating on AngiesList.

In addition to cleaning carpets, Green Horizons utilizes its natural cleaning process for:

●       Upholstery cleaning

●       Cleaning of tile & grout floors

●       Sterilizing of mattresses through the use of high-pressure, 300 degree
live steam (enough heat to destroy dust mite allergen)

●       Dustless sanding & refinishing of wood floors.

Based in Stoughton, Green Horizons service area extends from Boston west, to the South Shore and southeastern Massachusetts.

“We’re even happy to travel down to the Cape, all the way to Provincetown,” said Parsons.

King Collision Center looking to incorporate a high school Apprentice Program

Students in the Cooperative Education Program at Plymouth South High School learned about the vast career options in the collision repair industry during a recent tour of King Collision Center in Plymouth (http://www.kingcollision.com).

Seven Plymouth South students enrolled in the auto body repair program at the high school were able to get a first-hand look at King’s operations; tour the repair shop and ask plenty of questions. They learned about the numerous career opportunities at King Collision Centers, which range from managerial and customer care positions to those in collision repair, paint/refinish and detailing to Licensed Damage Appraiser positions.

“We’re in the process of developing an Apprentice Program at King Collision Centers to mentor teens who are in collision repair and graphic arts programs in high school. Those involved in our Apprentice Program would have the opportunity to work for King on a part-time basis,” explained Bruce King, president of the family owned business.

The company is looking to incorporate an Apprentice Program at their shops in Plymouth and Pembroke and is set to begin talks with the cooperative education program liaisons at the high schools in those towns.

“We’d like to have a program in place by 2010,” noted King.

Anyone Can Remove Dents – King Collision Centers Removes Doubts

Founded in 1984 by Bruce King, King Collision Centers provides superior collision repair and extraordinary customer care to thousands of clients south of Boston. King Collision is dedicated to earning customers for life and their team of professionals help clients through the collision repair process every step of the way – from coordinating a rental vehicle; providing accurate damage appraisal; assisting with the insurance claim process and ensuring that the vehicle is returned to its pre-accident operation, safety and value.

King Collision Centers was voted “Best Collision Repair” in 2003 and 2004 by Market Surveys of America and they have been selected to participate in the Repair Shop Referral Programs of 20 different insurance companies.

King Collision Centers are located in Pembroke, Plymouth and most recently, Raynham, MA.

It’s your move…How knowing what size mover to select can save you a fortune on your move.

BRAINTREE, MA…

Nobody likes to move. And if you’re hiring a mover, that’s just one more thing you want to get over with as soon as possible. Yet by doing a little calling around and finding a mover based on how much you’re moving and where to, you can save yourself a considerable amount of money and time.

“Most people don’t realize there’s more than one kind of mover. So, when it’s time to move, they probably go to the phone book or Internet and choose the first mover they come across. Usually that’s going to be one of the larger movers. That’s fine if you’re moving a four-bedroom home. But if you’re moving less than a thousand pounds of stuff, for example your mother’s antique dresser and a few other pieces to your sister in Dallas, a large, national mover might not be the most cost-effective option,” said Joe Fell, co-owner of Boston Pack and Ship, a small load shipping specialist for the past two decades.

Typically, large moving companies charge by weight with a 1000 pound or 2500 pound minimum. Small load shipping specialists don’t have minimums, but generally handle shipments of 1,000 pounds or less. So if you’re moving less than the large mover’s minimum, you may want to consider other, more cost-effective options.

Besides minimums, there are several other differences between the larger movers and small load shipping specialists:

  • Out of state moves – small load shippers strictly do out-of-state and international moves; large movers also offer local service within the same state.
  • Estimates – small load shippers charge by the size of the shipment and where it’s going; movers charge by actual weight or a calculated weight based on the dimensions of your goods.
  • Specialized packing services – many small load shippers offer custom crating and boxes, as well as higher-end technologies like foam-in-place packing. While larger movers offer packing, very few, if any offer foam in place packing or custom boxes for very delicate things like sculptures, large pieces of art, or delicate pieces of furniture. “
  • Transit times – if you’re moving an entire house, then your move takes up the entire truck. For smaller shipments using small load shippers, they share space with other moves. Sharing space does bring the cost down, however it can affect the timing of your move. Small load shippers can help you control the timing but you often save a considerable amount of money if you can trade off time.

“We work with a number of larger movers and if the move is smaller than their minimum or there is a fragile item that requires our packing expertise, they’ll refer the business to us. Many times, people think that they only have a small amount to ship. After speaking with them, we can determine that they are better suited for a large mover and we make the referral to the appropriate mover,” said Fell. “The important thing for consumers to know is they do have options and to find the one that best suits their situation.”

Boston Pack and Ship specializes in moves of 1,000 pounds or less. In addition, it offers customized package and custom crate building services at its workshop in Braintree. For items like computer equipment, artwork and other fragile items, Boston Pack and Ship employs foam-in-place technology to “lock” those items in place and limit movement within the package.

The breadth of Boston Pack and Ship’s relocation services includes:

  • Small loads – with no minimum requirement; blanket-wrapping for fragile, delicate moves; full insurance available
  • Custom crates and packaging for computers, electronic instruments, prototypes, antiques and artwork.
  • State-of-the-art, foam-in-place solutions to protect valuables
  • Multiple U.S. and International shipping options—ocean or air—to help lower costs
  • Door-to-door and door-to-port delivery with insurance available
  • On-time pickups by appointment

Small load specialists

Boston Pack and Ship has been a trusted strategic partner of many movers in eastern Massachusetts for more than two decades. Based in Braintree, Massachusetts, Boston Pack and Ship employs custom crates and packaging and foam-in-place solutions to pack and ship everything from artwork to heirlooms, computers to antiques to both out-of-state and international destinations. Known for its fast and efficient customer service, one call is usually all it takes to schedule a pickup for a door-to-door or door-to-port shipment.
