State can help with Internet job search

Hi all!

Today I would like to speak about work. And I have found one question and an answer for it. For some people it may be useful advice.

Q. I have been laid off from my job at a telemarketing company in Bridgewater. I received two weeks of severance pay and I am now collecting unemployment insurance. My problem is that I cannot afford to buy my own computer and I realize that having access to one is necessary for doing a thorough job search. Previously, I was always able to use the computer supplied by my employer to get on the Internet. I need to know if there is a computer service I can use for this purpose that is not expensive?

A. The Massachusetts State Employment and Training Resources division operates One-Stop Career Centers. These centers are located throughout the state and they all have free computer access for your job search.

In addition to free use of the Internet, they offer free use of their software and laser printing facilities for typing, duplicating, and sending your resume. They also provide free use of a fax machine and other related services.

Most importantly, the centers maintain an active listing of job openings supplied by Massachusetts employers and available to you.

I have heard that the staff and the career counselors are helpful and they offer free courses and workshops to improve your career planning and job search process.

A few examples are: How to post your resume on the Web and Internet job boards, interviewing techniques, and training in computer programs such as Excel and Word.

These centers are usually open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Many also have evening hours on Wednesdays.

For more information on these state services, including a listing of the 37 centers, their addresses, phone numbers, Web addresses, and directions on how to reach each of these locations, check these websites: www.mass.gov/careercenters, www.etrcc.com, www.yourcareersource.com, and www.jobnetboston.org.

Other ideas for computer access are public libraries, Internet cafes, and, of course, friends or relatives.

Credit card fraud is rising fast

Hi, people!

Found somethin about credit card frauds. I have never thought that it can be so. Read this note carefully and do not make mistakes like this ever more.

Credit card fraud is rapidly on the increase in South Africa and you need to become more vigilant with your credit card and all information relating to it, says Virgin Money.
According to Virgin Money, you should sign new credit cards as soon as you receive them.
If you receive a replacement card, be sure to destroy your old card by cutting it into many small pieces.
You should, ideally, not dispose of all the pieces of your old credit card in one place because criminals can easily get hold of your personal credit card details by simply putting the pieces together again.
Once you have reconciled your monthly credit card statements with your credit card receipts, you should get rid of the old credit card receipts. If you have access to a paper shredder, this would be an ideal solution, says Virgin Money.
Disposing of old receipts in this way, or by simply tearing them up, frustrates fraudsters’ common practice of going through rubbish bins to find receipts and steal your identity.
When you make a purchase with your credit card, avoid faxing your credit card details to third parties.
Your card details on an uncollected fax sheet could lie for hours in the fax basket at the other end. Anyone passing by the fax machine can record your number and begin to use your card number fraudulently.
It is even possible for criminals to intercept your credit card number while the fax is in transmission.
Similarly, when you are making a credit card purchase over the telephone or on the internet, you should exercise the greatest caution.
You should give your credit card details only in telephone calls you have initiated to businesses you trust.
Never give your details to callers who call you unexpectedly or to callers who claim to be from your bank and want to “confirm your details”.

An Island Spot Perfect for Wildlife Lovers

Found an interesting story about one couple. As for me, I would like to live in such house, surrounded by wildlife. Isn`t it a dream for everyone? To find a place separated from another world for you could spend some time alone with yourself and nature?

George and Susan Roth admit that buying land more than 2,400 miles from their Connecticut home was an impulsive decision at the end of an idyllic vacation. But during that 1995 trip, when the Roths saw the two-acre site on Salt Spring Island, with a private cove and a sweeping view of the ocean and forest, “that was it,” he said.
“When we got back to Connecticut, people thought we were absolutely crazy. They said: ‘You bought land where?’ ”
It made perfect sense to the couple, though. Mr. Roth was an assistant treasurer at Xerox, based at the company headquarters in Stamford, Conn., and retirement was on his mind. The Roths, both avid bird watchers, wanted a spot surrounded by nature without feeling that they were cut off from civilization, qualities provided by the island’s full-time population of more than 10,000 and its placement as one of the Gulf Islands off Canada’s southwest coast.
But another consideration trumped the spot’s appeal: its distance from Colorado, where their son and his family now live. So the Roths, both 66, reluctantly have put the 2,500-square-foot, single-level house on the market for 2,695,000 Canadian dollars (about $2.3 million). “Half of me says I hope it never sells, while the other half says we really would like to sell and get closer to the kids,” Mr. Roth said.
After buying the land, it took a few years for the Roths to find Heather Johnston, a local architect whose style meshed perfectly with their ideas for a vacation home. The construction, which took a year, became more complicated when Ms. Johnston moved to La Jolla, Calif., about two-thirds of the way through the process. The Roths spoke to other architects on the island about taking over the job, “but it just wasn’t the same — we had such a wonderful relationship with her,” Mr. Roth said. So they convinced Ms. Johnston to continue to oversee the project from California directing the builders via the Internet and fax.
Ideas for the renovations came from Ms. Johnston and the Roths. She came up with the concept of a circular wood-and-glass atrium at the entrance; they suggested putting a stone bridge over the fish pond at the front door.
For now, however, the Roths are looking forward to spending at least one more summer at their Salt Spring retreat. “During the summertime,” Mr. Roth said, “I’ve never seen a nicer place on the planet.”

Nice story as for me. Don`t you think so?
