Does the prospect of receiving formal feedback from your boss, peers and subordinates in the form of a professional performance appraisal have your petrified to the core? Here are some tips from bayt.com on how to make the most of your performance appraisal and turn it to your advantage. It's that dreaded time of year again. The rumour mill has it that those much-maligned annual performance reviews are already in the process of being churned by the HR departments and that this year they are even more rigorous and detailed than last year. The sudden silence from the HR quarters would seem to confirm this. Word even has it that last year's grades were considered "inflated" across the board and that this year managers were being coaxed to take a more subdued approach and "rein in" their accolades! |

You have the right to be pushy on the internet, as long as you maintain a fine line between being popular and responsibly selling your product, and turning into a pest. The virtual world requires just as much planning and timely execution as does the tangible world.
any readers may not agree with the placing of an extra ‘e’ in the title of this article. However, I stand my ground.
Allow me to explain. In today’s world, marketing is either passive or aggressive: for example, you have a website for your business just sitting there online, or you get some internet savvy people and work within certain boundaries to attract visitors in the hope of converting some of those hits into potential business solutions. One of the ways to do this is to send them email messages. Of course, there is a very fine line between marketing and spam.
Here is a scenario that you might find familiar: you plan your company’s website right down to the ‘T’. Find the web development company, set a budget to have it designed. Then what? Your site sits online waiting to be noticed. It’s almost like having a stall at Sunday bazaar, where there are hundreds of stalls and buyers. Though search engines and directories are present on the internet, the rate at which new sites join the global network is a lot faster than how they can be organised online. Chances are high that you, with your average budget and great product line, will get lost.

It’s a matter of experience, convenience and career planning. The MBA is a business school program designed to take graduates into the next stage of their career. It provides a general background to the entire range of business skills that are required, though students can take electives that are geared to their interests, whether in finance, entrepreneurship, marketing or other core specializations. MBAs are largely full-time and of great intensity. The average age is around 28 (with at least three-four years of work experience) although there really is no age limit and many people take MBAs in their 40s. It is simply a question of showing the school that you are the right person to excel on their course. |
