Over the past month Careers Seeker carried out a candidate surveys exploring the common feeling regarding psychometric tests, and found that Psychometric tests are becoming more common in the interview process, and that they are a relatively unknown concept in day to day life, so can seem very daunting.

Considering Plastic Surgery: New Plastic Surgeon Referral Service Has All the Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Resources Patients Need

Considering Plastic Surgery: New Plastic Surgeon Referral Service Has All the Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Resources Patients Need

Finding a local plastic surgeon or checking on a doctor's credentials and background is only a click or phone call away.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 24, 2008

Yellow Pages, surfing the web and word of mouth -- good resources do not always have the inside scoop. 1800mySurgeon. com, however, does.

1800mySurgeon. com is a new, free consumer service committed to facilitating a patient's decision to have cosmetic surgery. By visiting their comprehensive website (http://www.1800mysurgeon. com (http://www.1800mysurgeon. com)) or calling 1-800-My-Surgeon, patients can take the guesswork out of finding a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon they can trust.

The patient coordinators at 1800mySurgeon. com can help those interested in a cosmetic surgery procedure by referring them to the qualified plastic surgeons in their nationwide network. They can then provide relevant information about that plastic surgeon's board records, credentials, experiences and specialty areas.

Los Angeles plastic surgeon Dr. Vishal Kapoor M. D., who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and a 1800mySurgeon. com member, recognizes the benefits of the services 1800mySurgeon. com offers patients.

"Patients have been prepped by 1800mySurgeon. com staff, who have given them background on the doctor and reassurance that they are getting someone who is qualified and Board Certified," said Dr. Kapoor.

If a patient has conducted their own research to find a doctor, 1800mySurgeon. com can run a complete background search on that doctor and pull up information such as the doctor's education, training, certification and professional record. A full background check includes any disciplinary actions or cited malpractice judgments against a surgeon.

One should be careful when choosing a doctor to perform plastic surgery. Physicians can call themselves plastic surgeons just by taking a weekend course. 1800mySurgeon. com works with a network of prescreened Board Certified Plastic Surgeons, which means that the surgeons have gone through rigorous, extensive training and have a solid background in plastic surgery.

"When patients take it upon themselves to use the services of 1800mySurgeon. com, there is standard of care -- a standard that 1800mySurgeon. com likes to maintain," said Dr. Kapoor. "I think it makes the patients feel comfortable knowing that these doctors have met these standards and are seen in a good light by 1800mySurgeon. com."

The website offers informative patient resources such as articles, videos and real-life patient experiences, highlighting the importance of safety, surgery education and finding a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, which can be seen at (http://www.1800mysurgeon. com/articles-videos. cfm (http://www.1800mysurgeon. com/articles-videos. cfm)).

Along with professional organizations such as The American Board of Medical Specialties, The American Board of Plastic Surgery, The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and The American Society of Plastic Surgeons, 1800mySurgeon. com is dedicated to promote the importance of choosing plastic surgeons that are certified by the board.

As Job Search Gets Tough, Job Seekers Get Creative: College Grads Take to Job Search Outsourcing

As Job Search Gets Tough, Job Seekers Get Creative: College Grads Take to Job Search Outsourcing

With uncertain economic times ahead, a growing number of the nation's 1.5 million graduating college students face stiff competition for a shrinking number of jobs. Last week the bureau of labor reported that the US economy shed 159,000 non-farm jobs in September alone. One pioneering firm gives recent graduates a leg up in the hunt using a widespread business practice: outsourcing.

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) November 19, 2008

With uncertain economic times ahead, a growing number of the nation's 1.5 million graduating college students face stiff competition for a shrinking number of jobs. Last week the bureau of labor reported that the US economy shed 159,000 non-farm jobs in September alone. One pioneering firm gives recent graduates a leg up in the hunt using a widespread business practice: outsourcing.

JobSerf (JobSerf. com) is an online career search firm that helps job seekers cover more ground with their resumes to develop new job leads. The company uses Internet job-search professionals in India to search and apply for jobs online on behalf of their clients. The JobSerf search team can cover far more ground more effectively than a single job seeker in a given week.

The service has won the praises of college graduates in particular, eager to utilize the timesaving service and gain an advantage in this competitive job market. From December 2007 to April 2008, JobSerf tested its services with recent graduates of Southern Methodist University in Dallas. All students in the test group received interviews and job offers from leads generated by JobSerf's efforts.

Del, an SMU business graduate, went on 15 interviews and received three job offers within a month of using JobSerf but decided to return to graduate school. Chelsea, a recent marketing graduate from SMU, received 35 call backs and a job offer from one of her target companies after the JobSerf team invested 200 hours over six weeks searching and applying on her behalf.

"Instead of applying to 2 or 3 jobs a day, they can apply to 20 or 30," said Chelsea. "You get your name out there in the job market much faster than you would on your own."

JobSerf works largely on the principles of task specialization. The online job marketplace is increasingly complicated, with more than 40,000 Internet job sites and millions of people posting their resumes to the web each year. Navigating this web of application systems, corporate sites, recruiting firms and job listing agencies can become a time-consuming headache. It takes a talented full-time professional to know all the angles.

"The JobSerf team can provide superior results as compared to an individual's efforts by leveraging the search expertise of the JobSerfs, their knowledge of the job boards and ability to share leads with their colleagues," says JobSerf Creator and Chairman Jay Martin.

This high-level, online job search assistance frees the job seeker to focus their time on practical real-world efforts. "Rather than spending countless hours scouring the Internet for job openings, our clients can be more productive by networking, preparing for interviews or working at their current jobs," says Martin.

JobSerf gets its client's resumes and cover letters in front of hiring managers using technology that permits the JobSerfs to send emails that appear to come from their client's personal address. JobSerf's involvement is completely invisible to the target company, allowing the candidate to follow-up on the lead with a fresh and impressive interview.

JobSerf, which began operations in the more promising economic conditions of 2006, believes its services are more valuable than ever in this increasingly scarce American job market. According to job placement experts, increasing your level of exposure can dramatically increase your chances of scoring an interview.

Given the value of an American job, JobSerf is cost effective, and the offshore model keeps it affordable to the average American. "For parents who have spent as much as $100,000 on their student's four-year college education, this is a small investment towards making that degree pay off," added Martin.

JobSerf starts new customers at 20 hours for $98, translating to $4.90 per hour in the first week. Afterwards, job seekers may continue with thorough coverage of the job market at 20 hours per week, or narrow their search to a more targeted eight hours per week for $49.

About JobSerf (www. jobserf. com)
JobSerf, Inc. is a privately held Texas-based corporation that is the pioneer in using non-U. S. talent to search and apply for jobs on behalf of clients. JobSerf was founded in February of 2004 by partners who collectively have more than 60 years of experience with some of the world's top firms. The company also has retained advisors from the human resources, outplacement, e-commerce and investment banking industries.

New Company Aims to Boost Elementary Student's Interest in Science, Prepare for Future Careers

New Company Aims to Boost Elementary Student's Interest in Science, Prepare for Future Careers

Recent studies show American students scoring lower on science and math exams, and that teachers spend anywhere from two to no hours a week on science education, due to the national emphasis on No Child Left Behind. To fill the void, Mini Me Geology (www. MiniMeGeology. com) has created a unique blend of fun and learning for children by launching a one-stop geology education shop. Mini Me Geology is a website where children, parents and educators can come to learn not only about great rocks and minerals but also receive free information about the science of geology. The site offers rock and mineral samples from around the world and kits not available anywhere else, project ideas and curriculum for the class or home, "Ask a Geologist", an interactive site with games and puzzles to encourage learning, Rockland Gazette newsletter, and more.

Mt. Pleasant, SC (PRWEB) June 26, 2008

Recent studies not only show American students scoring lower on science and math exams, but that teachers spend anywhere from two to no hours a week on science education, due to the national emphasis on No Child Left Behind. To fill the void, Mini Me Geology (www. MiniMeGeology. com) has created a unique blend of fun and learning for children by launching a one-stop geology education shop for parents, children and educators.

It all started when Tracy Barnhart and her husband were asked to discuss their careers at their son's kindergarten class. Her husband works in radio broadcasting and she, at the time, used her expertise in geology at an environmental consulting firm. She quickly considered that the young children would probably not understand what she did at her firm, so she gathered up a variety of rocks, minerals and some gemstones to teach them about rocks and what a geologist is. The children were thrilled and she allowed them to take the rock samples home.

"After the experience, I began to think about the children's reactions and the fact that there isn't much taught about geology in early elementary school - the age when children are typically really interested in rocks and minerals," said Barnhart Founder/Owner of Mini Me Geology. "In first grade my son completed only a brief study on rocks but it included very little information. After that he really didn't have any study on the subject at all and science is part of our everyday lives." It gave Barnhart an idea.

In 2006, Barnhart cut back her hours at the environmental firm and started Mini Me Geology (www. minimegeology. com). She realized that her mission as a professional geologist was to show kids and adults the wonders of Earth.

Mini Me Geology is a site where children, parents and educators can come to learn not only about great rocks and minerals but also receive free information about the science of geology. The site offers rock and mineral samples from around the world and kits not available anywhere else, project ideas and curriculum for the class or home, "Ask a Geologist", an interactive site with games and puzzles to encourage learning, Rockland Gazette newsletter, and more.

"Most of our requests come from children looking for rocks and minerals that can't readily be found in their area. It's nice to know that we are contributing to their education by making these available to people across the country."

Since starting the business, Barnhart has received considerably positive feedback from parents, including those that home school, and educators about Mini Me Geology emphasizing that she offers more than just a box of rocks, but a real opportunity for children to interact, experience and learn.

"Our site is specifically designed for kids because there are so many neat things about rocks and minerals that young kids can understand without gimmicks and without being bored," says Barnhart. "But we also provide specific information and affordable products for educators to create excitement in the classroom."

About Mini Me Geology
Mini Me Geology is a division of Giverny, Inc. The company's owner, Tracy Barnhart, has been a geologist for more than 16 years. The company, inspired by her two children and their friends, provides a unique blend of high-quality products with free educational information, uniquely combining rocks, minerals from around the world and other geology related toys with free educational information, free puzzles and free access to the site's personal geologist. Mini Me Geology is the new destination for kids and parents looking for quality science toys, education and fun, easy-to-understand information.

Mini Me Geology offers "My Rockin' Collections", rock kit storage bags, minerals, igneous rocks, metamorphic rocks and sedimentary rocks, and individual rock and mineral samples, are also available through the Web site, and it recently added a new line for the classroom called "School Edition".

The concept for ValSecrets was developed months ago and the website's owner, Valeria Tignini, has been working diligently with her team to ensure perfection in every detail of the website from concept to operation. The site is a breath if fresh air in the midst of today's economic crisis, foreclosure rates, and war on the news, bringing positivity and fortitude back into the forefront of media.

The official launch party was held February 21, 2009 at the Boucarou Lounge in New York City and was a huge success. Many people showed up in support of ValSecrets. com and the message the site brings to the online media community. Since the launch party, Valeria and ValSecrets have been moving forward quickly preparing to set a confirmed launch date and putting many other plans for the business into action.

"It's a site where real women are reaching out to other real women - providing support, inspiration, and entertainment.
