I recently posted a job at 48days.net for someone to work at the Free Agent Academy as a Branding Professor. We’re paying $2,000 per month for one day of work each week, and almost instantly I received over 60 resumes from very interested applicants. I needed a quick way to find the best person for the job, but I also didn’t want to rush and hire the wrong person. What follows is an inside look at the process I used, along with what it took to actually get hired.  Read more »

You might be a “sluggard” if…….

May 16, 2012 in Uncategorized with 11 Comments

The dictionary defines a “sluggard” as a habitually inactive or lazy person. Here’s an example. My wife Joanne is mentoring a young lady who just got out of prison. While incarcerated, a grandmother cared for her 4-yr-old daughter. This gal counted the days until she could be reunited with her precious little girl. Three weeks after she was released she was told that the father of the child wanted full custody. It seemed odd that he was unwilling to care for his child while the mother was in prison – and now he has a sudden desire to be the sole caretaker.

However, the rest of the story soon came out. Baby Daddy has discovered that if can get custody of this little girl, he will receive free housing, food stamps and a monthly stipend. He can totally remove himself from having to work, and can live the life he has apparently dreamed of.  I’d call this guy a sluggard.  Read more »

We’ve all heard about jobs going to India, China, Taiwan and Mexico.  Well, here’s an even more imposing proposition.  A California company plans to anchor a 600-cabin cruise ship just beyond the three-mile limit off the coast of El Segundo, near Los Angeles, and fill it with foreign software programmers.  The company will classify the workers as “seamen,” and thus avoid U.S. payroll taxes and the need for immigration visas.  The programmers would work 8 or 10-hr shifts, day or night and receive about $21,500 a year.

Compare that to the salary of an American programmer – median salary for programmers is around $60,000, and those with extensive experience can make $125,000 or more.  Read more »
