HOW TO GET A JOB

This is about construction jobs, but most of it applies to any job. What makes me an expert? I have had over 40 years exp. as a foreman, contractor, superintendent.

First-- Appearance! Yes it counts a lot! If you show up wearing gang colors with your pants around your knees, you are not getting a job!
Dress neatly, cleanly, do not wear a T-shirt. Wear full length pants, and a plain shirt without sayings or slogans on it. Dress like a pro, you may become one!
Take a bath! Shave! Brush your teeth! Get a haircut! You might get a real job! Nobody wants to interview or work with a nasty stinky person.
Dress appropriately!
Be bright eyed and bushy-tailed, do not show up with red eyes and a hangover. Don't be under the influence of anything, except maybe coffee.

Second, actions! I am not BOSSMAN, HOMEY, BRO, DUDE, or anything but SIR or MISTER until you have been around for awhile, maybe never.
I am doing you a favor hiring you, you are not doing me a favor working for me, always remember that!
I DO NOT CARE about what you do after work! DO NOT LET YOUR LIFE INTRUDE IN MY WORKPLACE! If you absolutely have to take the baby to the doctor, see your parole officer, or whatever, Please tell me as soon as possible, I understand you have a life, and I have a heart and family too! BUT remember that as far as I am concerned, IF YOU ARE NOT ON THE JOB, I don't need you! I CAN GET SOMEBODY ELSE. The job will be completed with or without you.

No phone calls, no visits, no yelling, no selling, no smelling. You are here to work not socialize.

I want to work with these people:


NOT THESE:

BE NICE,NEAT CLEAN, AND COMPLETE, ON TIME, ON THE LINE AND MAYBE YOU WILL BE MINE! above all stay safe!

LIQUIDATION.COM - THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER?

We recently won a bid at Liquidation.com of merchandise that when received was not from the same category that it was ordered from. A simple mislabeling of the product. If somebody would of looked in the box,maybe not even happen. Simple mistake.
I opened up a dispute and sent pictures, over a week later they ask for more pictures, no problem ,I sent them the next day, even though it took them over a week to look at 3 pictures, I don't know maybe they were studying them real good.
A day later I get an email saying that I was too slow sending them the pictures and the dispute was denied.

BASICALLY LIQUIDATION.COM SAID F*** Y** WE GOT YOUR MONEY AND WE DON'T CARE IF OUR F**-UPS COST YOU MONEY - TOO BAD SUCKER.

So I am out $400 and have a house full of junk I have to store for evidence for a lawsuit.

What are your experiences with this company?

FREE PHOTO HOSTING 1 GIG+

You can use PICASA from GOOGLE to host your EBAY or other site pictures! Over a gigabyte of picture storage,NO CHARGE! You can store your EBAY pictures on PICASA and your personal pictures on WINDOWS LIVE PHOTOS where you have a huge 25 gigs of storage and can share with anybody but not link or embed.
Now that AUCTIVA has to charge for their services due to an EBAY policy change, I've been looking for another way to list.
FREE PICASA and the free EBAY TURBO LISTER 2 are what I am trying out for now and they seem to be the way to go.
It is not as easy, but it is FREE! upload the picture to picasa, click on the picture, the links are on the right. Copy and paste where you want. NICE NEAT CLEAN COMPLETE! all done NO FEES!

LIQUIDATION.COM - is it worth it?

Liquidation.com, what do you think about that company? Have you used bid on their auctions? I have participated in a few, they auction part seems fair and reasonable. I like the 3 minute extensions that keeps it fair, no sniping!
The web site is simple and easy to follow, plain and solid, I like the way it works.
The selection is pretty broad and is from new to salvage, trucks to computer parts. just about anything can be found here. I keep looking for Brittney Spears to come up on a salvage auction, but fortunately not yet!
The pricing seems fair for the most part, some of the sellers need a reality check, when you add the $40.25 minimum s&h charge their product are sometimes priced at or above retail! But WE are supposed to be smarter than that!
The main complaint I have about this company is their packing! It looks like it was done by untrained chimps! just thrown in the box, like you empty a trash can, no attempt at all to put heavy articles on the bottom! I mean look at the auction pictures of some of the boxes! No respect for the items you are going to spend $100's if not $1000's on, its like it's trash to them. When it arrives the UPS guy complains because the boxes break and they look like deflated brown beach balls instead of boxes!
The shipping is fast, reasonable, and well tracked.
Overall, if they would train the packers to respect the merchandise, this would be a good place to bid!

SIMPLEX? OR IS IT COMPLICATED?

What do you think of SIMPLEX? Did you pay the $19.95, just to get a phone call? It costs $19.95 plus $150.00 and a monthly fee of almost $50 just to get some prices to compare and then you just get a little list. It costs $500+ to get the big list plus a monthly fee. Is it worth the gamble to just throw money in the dark hoping that it is competitive? Almost $220.00 before you can even compare what they have! I think Simplex is too complicated and risky.

To Stock or Not To Stock, that is a question.

When you use a dropshipper of course you do not have to stock your items or ship them. The problem is when somebody else does all the work they make most of the money and might not have the product when you make a sale. That is not good for your customers.

If you stock your items, you get a firm hand on your stock and ordeing in bulk you get a price break. The problems are tieing up your money, shipping in and out, storage and handling.
Which is better?
