If you are in charge of hiring for a large business or corporation, you will probably end up spending very little time around anyone you end up hiring after they start working for the company, but if - on the other hand - you own a small business and are looking to hire a new employee or two, you will probably end up spending a great deal of time around whoever it is that you hire. While you will certainly not be looking for "new friends" through the interview process, it is always nice (considering the amount of time you will end up spending around the person you hire!) to hire someone who will not only do a great job for you, but who will be enjoyable to be around all the time as well.

When you are hoping to hire someone you will enjoy being around, the first step of the hiring process is the same as the hiring process any other time, as you will want to narrow down the applications to those you feel are most qualified; when you do this first, you will ensure that anyone you interview is (on paper, at least!) fully qualified for and capable of the duties required by the position itself.

When conducting the actual interview with each of these prospective employees, one thing you will, of course, be doing is asking the regular questions you would ask to assess who would be best for the job, but in addition to this, you should also try to be personable with each person you are interviewing; when you do this, you will be able to get a much better feel for who will be personable and easy to be around in return.

And once this new hire has started working for you - even if you felt in the interview that they were someone you would thoroughly enjoy being around - you may end up finding that you really do not enjoy being around this person at all; if this is the case, do not worry, however, as you will at least know that you hired someone who will do an excellent job, and that is by far the most important thing!

How To Run A Company From Your Home

Your 2016 years earning plan: STEP -BY-STEP

These days, the internet makes it entirely possible for people to fulfill their dream of owning a small business and working from home. But for each person who chases this dream successfully, hundreds of others try to chase this dream and fail miserably. Here are a few things for you to keep in mind as you get started if you want to run a small business out of your own home.

1) What: Asking yourself what you will sell or provide is the first step to running a successful business from your home, as it will help you gain your identity. A lot of people fail because, at the beginning, they try to do far too much. Instead, you should figure out what you want to specialize in selling or providing, and as you become successful with this, you can expand from there. Furthermore, having a concrete understanding of exactly what it is you sell or provide will allow customers to gain a concrete understanding of what they are coming to you for.

2) Where: People often overlook this one, as the internet makes them feel like they can do business anywhere and everywhere! Your best strategy, when you get started yourself, is to remember that there is only so much you can do as one person, and it is best to grow a concentrated following in a small area and grow from there. Take the time to understand exactly where you want to operate early on, before you ever get started; in this way, you will be able to gain traction.

3) How: How is "make or break" item, as lots of people fall short by having no clue how they will operate. If someone does not know how their operation will be run, they will fail, even if they have a great product or idea. The two "How"s to know are A) How will I get the word out there about my company, and B) How will I run my operation?

Make sure you know your What, Where, and How before you ever get started with your business, and you will not only be able to run a business out of your house, you will be able to run a successful business!

Your 2016 years earning plan: STEP -BY-STEP

The social media site Facebook has reached a popularity status attained by few. Around the world there are no more than 500 million active users of the site. An active user is one that uses the website on a consistent basis to connect with friends. This means that there is an absolutely massive audience available for every kind of business. The methods that Facebook allows for when marketing have not been afforded to businesses in the past. If your business isn’t taking advantage of them, then it is badly missing out.

There are however many difficulties that marketing on Facebook has proven to present to businesses. In what ways do most businesses market on Facebook? This is just one question of many that don’t have solid answers. There isn't a set blue print to marketing for a website like Facebook that is this relatively new. A lot of people don't like this about the site, but it offers some very unique opportunities in reality.

There is no set way to market on Facebook so a business owner can experiment to find the best way. Once they find an effective way to promote they won’t be competing with thousands of other businesses promoting in the same way. Instead they will be able to use a method they developed on their own to make sure their business is successful. Targeting the audience they desire to attract is the only way to stay successful in the long run though.

Letting new opportunities pass by your business is a mistake. Although many older methods are considered tried and true, many of them have run their course. The fact that almost every business uses them doesn't make them the best choice. Any marketing expert will attest that the best way to market your business is through a method no one else has used. Using Facebook to market isn’t brand new, but it hasn’t been around long enough to be exploited. Gather new clients in new ways so your business can stay ahead of the curve the rest are on!
