Business Owners, Meet Your New Graduates | DemGen Inc. - Virtual ...

After graduation, students should be elated to be done school, but the search for a new job can cause even more panic attacks than your last final. You may have finally received that coveted diploma, but the real test has only just begun.

If you?re a recent graduate looking for a new position, or a business owner looking for a new partner, these suggestions will make the hiring process a little easier.

1.??? Interviews are key.

For Business Owners:? It doesn?t matter if you?ve found someone with the most impressive resume in the world, meeting someone for an interview is extremely important. Asking questions about past project, school involvement, and future aspirations with the company will help you understand their overall personality and work ethic. If they engage you in conversation and show a willingness to learn about the company ? you know you?ve found a good candidate.

For Recent Graduates: Go on as many interviews as possible. Even if you?re not 100 per cent qualified for the position, going to multiple interviews will strengthen your comfort in tense situations. You may not land your first job interview, so it?s important to keep going. Engage in conversation with your interviewer, bring an extra copy of your resume (and portfolio pieces if necessary) and make sure they get to know you.

2.??? Lose any pretence of attitude.

For Business Owners: Remember: you still need to sell your business. You?re not the only company that?s hiring, and you won?t be doing anyone a favour if you make them feel as though they?d be lucky to work for you. The reason you?re hiring graduates is to add new talent, and you might end up losing them if you belittle their benefits to the company.

For Recent Graduates: Please remember that you are not the only person with a new diploma. You may have graduated top of your class and acquired some great references, but you?re still new, and there might be someone with more experience and a similar diploma sitting in the waiting room with you. You want to build a relationship, and a bad attitude won?t help with that.

3.??? Get over any procrastination tendencies, and fear of group work.

For Business Owners: Never procrastinate when it comes to hiring. Don?t hire someone when you need him or her to start immediately. It?s better to hire someone during a slow period, so you have time to train them and introduce them to the company. When you are conducting interviews, bring someone else with you. They might pick up something you missed.

For Recent Graduates: If you haven?t already figured out how to beat procrastination, do it now, and quickly. Chances are you won?t stick around very long if you can?t keep on top of your assigned work. And remember how much you despise group work because of that one person who doesn?t pull their weight? Well, it?s time to shake that feeling and jump in headfirst. You?re in a new place with new people, and showing your boss that you?re eager to work as a team is a great way to start building relationships.

Kids Who Grow Up Using iPads Have Restricted ... - Business Insider

Oli Scarff/Getty Images

The iPad generation will learn fewer words, experts fear, as using text messages, emails and computers to learn could be stunting children?s vocabulary.

Our brains are hardwired to learn new words when we hear others use them in conversation. But as children increasingly learn through devices instead of listening to others they do not get the opportunity to hear a wide range of words.

Therefore experts believed that the oral tradition of passing on knowledge is being eroded, and all generations spend too long staring at their screens.

Marco Catani, of the Institute of Psychiatry, King?s College London, told the Daily Mail that increasingly people do not have time to communicate and children turn to the internet, iPhones, mobile phones and tablet computers to which they all have access to.

"These are visual rather than auditory, so it is likely that they will end up with a lower average number of words than previous generations,? he said.

Over reliance on computers has previously been blamed for shorter attention spans and making children increasingly self-centered.

In a study, 27 volunteers had their brains scanned as they learned made-up words, and it was found that hearing and verbally imitating speech was the key to understanding.

Dr Catani explained that when learning new vocabulary you start by hearing it then repeat it until you get it right, and therefore increase your vocabulary and by the time a person reaches adulthood they know around 30,000 words.

One area of the brain, the arcuate fasciculus, is key to this process.

It is a bundle of nerve fibres which links two regions of the brain which are tied to language ? one that hears and decodes sounds, and one that moves the mouth to form speech.Those with a stronger arcuate fasciculus found it easier to learn new words, the scans showed.

Once familiar, words are stored in other parts of the brain, according to the study reported in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Dr Catani said: ?Now we understand that this is how we learn new words, our concern is that children learn new words, our concern is that children will have less vocabulary, as much of their interaction is through text, email and screen.

"This research reinforces the need for us to maintain the oral tradition of talking to our children.?

Former NFL Players Are Turning to Digital Startups

Mike Wahle

When injuries permanently sidelined National Football League offensive guard Mike Wahle a few years ago, like all retiring pro athletes, he had to ask himself, ?What?s next?? And while some guys might have rested on their laurels, the 6-foot-6-inch former all-pro got a master?s degree from London Business School before dedicating himself to founding a social platform called Crowd Cam, which will go live before the upcoming football season.

While former athletes have always looked to television and radio for second careers, Wahle represents a growing breed of ex-NFLers taking aim at digital media. Wahle?s Crowd Cam offers athletes, coaches and teams free profile pages that aggregate their content from social nets such as Twitter and Instagram while giving obsessed fans a single stop to keep tabs on the musings of their sports favorites.

?The best thing about sports is storylines,? Wahle said. ?Every week of an NFL season is like a chapter in a book. We?ve created an environment where people can both interact during the lead-up to the games as well as their aftermath.?

Seventy-five athletes have committed to using the platform as well as a handful of college football coaches, he said, adding that ?98 percent of their profile page will be created for them through the aggregation system, and from there they sprinkle in their own text or video content.? Like many digital hopefuls, Wahle?s business model leans on advertising. So he?s teamed with ad-world players, and they are finalizing what Crowd Cam?s paid promos will be. Think BuzzFeed-like integrations and sponsor takeovers for profile pages.

?There will be opportunities for brands that are interested in content marketing, native advertising and using video to insert themselves into different fan streams,? Wahle said.

Another notable NFL retiree attempting to tackle interactive media is Tiki Barber with his year-old Thuzio, an online service that lets consumers book lunches and appearances with famous athletes. And pro football veteran Tony Gonzalez seems to have a digital career on his mind even though he has two years left on his playing contract, launching an exercise mobile app with tech company FitStar.

And then there?s Tony Mandarich, who is best known as an overhyped draft pick in 1989. He launched a Web marketing service in 2005 that he says is growing annually by 50 percent in recent years.

?My advice to those guys just starting out is to be ready for constant change,? Mandarich said. ?The changes don?t happen every quarter?they occur every month. You have to stay up to speed or get left behind.?

And with more pro athletes who grew up with digital set to retire in the next several years, the competition among former ballplayers will likely intensify.

?There?s only so many broadcasting gigs for former athletes,? said Bob Dorfman, a creative director for Baker Street Advertising and a sports marketing analyst. ?So it makes sense to go where the jobs, the money, the fan base and marketing opportunities exist. And that?s in digital these days.?

Israel's deepest well targets 1.5B barrels of crude

(Bloomberg Businessweek) The deepest oil well drilled in Israel?s 65-year history may be the most important.

Houston?s Noble Energy Inc. (NBL:US) will probe 6,500 meters (4 miles) below the Mediterranean seabed later this year, targeting as much as 1.5 billion barrels of crude, equal to about 15 years of Israeli demand.

While explorers have found enough natural gas in the past five years to turn Israel into an exporter, a major oil discovery would break new ground. The Middle East?s third-largest economy spends about $10 billion a year importing 98 percent of the oil it uses. Domestic production would increase tax revenue, boost the country?s balance of payments and reduce vulnerability to supply disruptions.

BP Veteran Browne Builds US Gulf Oil Acreage

Reuters reports that former BP chief executive John Browne is to preside over the biggest set of oil and gas assets in the shallower, mature section of the Gulf of Mexico after buying them from U.S.-based Apache Corp (APA.N).

Private equity firm Riverstone Holdings LLC, where Browne is a partner, is to pay Apache $3.75 billion for its continental shelf assets, Houston-based Apache announced on Thursday.

The area covering 1.9 million net acres and 500 blocks will be held through a Riverstone portfolio company, Fieldwood Energy LLC, Riverstone said in its own statement.

Browne ran BP from 1995 to 2007 through an era when it built a position as one of the most important players in the Gulf, especially in the deeper water, where it still is a big player. He was replaced by Tony Hayward - who became the public face of the company's 2010 oil spill. Hayward has also since left the British company, which is now embroiled in costly litigation over the spill.

The assets sold by Apache ended 2012 with estimated proved reserves of 133 million barrels of oil and natural gas liquids and 636 billion cubic feet of natural gas. The fields produced around 50,000 barrels of oil and liquids and 254 million cubic feet of natural gas per day. Apache is keeping a 50 percent stake in the unexplored portions of the properties.

Scarborough Battles GOP Rep. King Over U.S. ?Military Adventurism?: ?It?s Not Our Job To Be World Policemen!?

This morning on Morning Joe, host Joe Scarborough confronted Rep. Peter King (R-NY) over American ?military adventurism? and the Republican Party?s expansive foreign policy decisions of the past decade.

The heated exchange came shortly after Rep. King expressed his contempt for the ?isolationist? foreign policy views of Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), a current frontrunner for candidacy in the 2016 GOP primary field. Scarborough took umbrage at the congressman?s outright dismissal of Sen. Paul?s foreign policy concerns, and so he grilled him on whether a full decade of warfare costing several trillion dollars and thousands of lives has been worth it.

?You do believe, do you not, that the Republican Party?s foreign policy has been too expansive over the past decade,? the host asked King, ?We even, dare I say as a country, engage in military adventurism that has not put the United States first.? How long, Scarborough asked, before it?s okay to remove troops from the embattled country?

?If we pull out of Afghanistan, how are we different from September 10th, 2001?? King replied. ?There?s going to be a vacuum. There?s going to be the Taliban, al Qaeda, also the Pakistan Taliban. We?re talking about Islamist terrorists who are poised to come at us. So we just can?t walk back and say we?re out of Afghanistan.?

?How are we different after we pull out of Afghanistan than we were on September 10th? Osama bin Laden is dead. Al Qaeda has been decimated,? the MSNBC host shot back. King responded that al Qaeda is ?right across the border? in Pakistan, prompting Scarborough to assert that the terror network is anything but centralized.

King then accused the host of engaging in ?the type of exaggerated debate that does not help us,? which ultimately led to the two taking a heated tone with one another. ?We?ve been in Afghanistan since 2001, there are people dying in Afghanistan this week that were 5, 6, 7 years old when the war started, Peter,? Scarborough said, his voice rising. ?It is not our job to be the world?s policeman and to be there for the next 20 years!?

?It is our job to protect the United States,? King pushed back. ?If we arbitrarily withdraw from Afghanistan, we leave ourselves open for another attack.?
