Atricle Dump - Moving On Out - Top Ten Things To Take With You When You Move To Your New Teaching Job Abroad
If you are a typical Yellow Page advertiser, this headline is what you want to hear. Either from me, your YP rep, or the publisher. Why? Because you are paying too much already, or at least you think you are. I should know. I was a YP consultant for a Bell publishing company for 25 years and always heard how expensive we were. Whether it was for a $10 listing or a $1500 full page, it didn’t matter. So I fought over the rates before I ever got to the main problem with the ads. That’s right, the cost isn’t the problem. So what is it, you asked?It’s the amount of money or profit that you will make on your YP program. Traditionally, it’s called the ROI or return on investment. That’s all that’s truly important. For instance, if you could spend $10 a month on a listing and get $100 in business, would that be a good deal? If you said, “Yes,” you’re wrong! That’s because you should have asked for the $1000 ad that also returned 10 to 1, giving you $10,000 instead. That’s a much higher profit, of course. But many business people fail to see the big picture. Now the ROI

3. Medical records and adequate supplies of medications
Anyone in your family that has an ongoing medical condition should request a copy of their medical records. For your children you should have or get a copy of their vaccination record.
Take at least a two month supply of your regular medications with you. This will give you adequate
How good are you at telling a story? Not so hot? Well then it's time to brush up and hone that skill because your business, every business, is basically a story. And how well you tell that story will determine if people (i.e. your customers) will continue to listen or politely walk away.How do you tell a good story?You start with a captivating, intriguing hook. In the business equivalent, that would ideally be your company name. That's why evocative, and even provocative, names work so well. So in the elevator at the trade show it goes something like this... "Who are you here with ?" You then share your company name. If it's interesting, you'll probably get asked for more. If it's purely descriptive, (i.e. Superior Sprockets) they will assume they get the whole picture and move on. But if you say..."I'm with Virgin."...You just might get some interesting looks. Someone might say, "I'm sorry, did you say 'Virgin'?" And then you would segue into how you represent the airline or record company by that name. If the conversation moved
1. Passport (valid for at least the length of your contract)
You may think this is an obvious one considering we’re talking about relocating your whole life to another country. Tell me, do you know when your passport expires? Mine expires in 2015.
Depending on where you’re living, a new passport may take up to 6 months to get. It’s not wise to rely on the ‘estimated turn around’ time on the form as in the past both the UK and the USA have had extremely long delays in issuing new passports to their citizens. Of course, if you’re running short of time you can usually apply for an express service, at a ridiculously inflated cost.
So, go now and check when your passport expires.
It’s better for you to have a passport that’s valid for the length of your contract because it’s a real pain to have to get a new one issued from a consulate or embassy abroad. Trust me; I’ve had to do it!
2. Original documents that prove who you are and what you know
Government departments don’t tend to accept copies of foreign identification or certification documents. Ensure that you take all your original documentation. If you don’t have it, then get it.
It’s always good to keep a copy at home too, either with a family member, a lawyer or in a safety deposit box, so if you can, get duplicate originals. An extra set is insurance against theft, fire or natural disaster and makes good sense.
You’ll need:
* Birth certificate
* Marriage certificate
* Police clearance certificate
* Degree certificates
* Teacher certification
* Recommendation letters

In a sense, the entrance to SFGT is a window into the person who leads the company, Dudley Fitzpatrick, CEO. Open the big front door of the old town house on Walnut Street and the first thing you notice is three old stone steps. Couldn't they afford new steps? Then you see the second door. It's all glass and through it you see the modern reception room, the classic furniture, the attractive receptionist and the small oriental rug in the center of the beautiful wood floor. "I get it," you think to yourself.When you meet Dudley and chat with him, you really get it. He's a traditionalist, like the steps and the beams on the ceiling. He's confident and assertive, like the stately furniture and the offices themselves. He's tasteful, like the oriental rug and like the conference room on the fifth floor. You go there for the interview after a trip on the modern elevator.And Dudley's a trip.This is a man who knows where he's going, who wants to do it the right way, who has strong feelings about his beloved business. Notice that I didn't say "his beloved ad

Let’s say you’re on a sales call.And in the back of your mind, you don’t care. Which is not to say you’re apathetic. It’s just that you’re relaxed. With yourself. With your product. With your prospect. So, you “don’t care” insofar as you’re not negatively affected by the thought of failure.If I don’t make the sale, no biggie, you think. You do the best you can, be yourself, and if you close the deal, great. If not, it’s cool. Onto the next prospect!So, what often happens?That’s right. You make the sale.Because when you care the least, you do the best.Now let’s say you walk into a bar.And in the back of your mind, you don’t care.Which is not to say you’re being cold. You’re just looking to have a good time, laugh, hang out with your friends; maybe throw back a few pints of Guinness. You’re not actively looking for a date. But if someone cute DOES approach you, that would be great.If I don’t get her number, no biggie, you think. You act friendly, be yoursel

If youd like to offer professional home inspection services there are a number of training programs and courses you can take - some of them online. From one online home inspection training provider we found the courses that teach the creation of a home inspection report.Included in this report are the overall condition of the home, with specific attention to the plumbing and electrical systems, the heating and cooling equipment, the siding and the roof, the foundation and the homes frame. This particular home inspection certification program is offered as a partnership with numerous colleges and universities that oversee the various course materials and curriculum.The home builders organization offering the online home inspection courses was established twenty years ago. Its mission remains to offer home inspection education, occupation training, as well as construction and home inspection technical support.The programs include classroom training, field training, seminars, and continuing education courses in addition to the Internet-based program.>* Degree certificates

Take at least a two month supply of your regular medications with you. This will give you adequate time to check out the medical services in your new country and register with a physician.
Some medications are sold under alternative brand names in different countries, so ask your doctor for alternative names before you leave. It took me ages to figure out that Tylenol was the American brand name for paracetamol.
4. Vaccinations and a vaccination certificate
You are going to be living and working abroad, which means that you’ll be exposed to all sorts of new organisms. Check with your doctor or with a travel clinic to see what vaccinations are recommended for the country to which you’re moving and be sure to let them know that you’ll be living there long term rather than just going on holiday for a week or two. If you’re traveling to Thailand for a holiday the recommended vaccinations are different to the ones recommended if you’re staying here a while.
Get a vaccination certificate to prove what vaccinations you’ve had and ask your health professional to make a note of when you’ll need to get any booster shots. Many vaccinations are good for a number of years, but some need a series of shots before you are covered for any appreciable length of time.
5. Emergency numbers
This is another one that may seem obvious to you, but guess what, you don’t need only your Mum’s phone number for checking in once you arrive.
You need to take these contact numbers with you, at least:
* A responsible member of your family
* Your bank
* Your credit card company
* Your insurance company
* Your Doctor
* Your travel agent
Now, you can probably find most if not all of this on the internet. But in an emergency, like your wallet being stolen, do you really want the hassle?
