Anago Cleaning Systems - Meet a Franchisor willing to get his hands dirty
Just out of Michigan State, David R. Povlitz wasn't just looking for a job. He was searching, literally door-to-door, for a calling. On that first day of job hunting, at five in the morning, he solicited Detroit businesses--a bowling alley, a bakery, bars, office buildings--to see if they needed any kind of help whatsoever.
Nothing.
"At the end of the day," he says, "I didn't get one lead."
He did get noticed, however. By the son of the owner of a janitorial supply company. He took Povlitz un… Continue

Many people dream of owning their own business. A popular method of achieving this goal has been to purchase a franchise. What is a franchise? What is franchising? You have all heard of it, but what is it, really?
Franchising is the business response to the massive amounts of capital required to establish and operate a company-owned network of product or service vendors.
Simply defined, franchising is a system of marketing and distribution in which an independent businessperson, for a fee, is granted the right to market the goods or services of the franchisor according to the established standards and practices of the franchisor.
Franchising is a package deal including:
- a marketing plan (either required or suggested);
- association with a commercial symbol (e.g., trademark); and
a franchise fee.
Ideally, the franchise system forms the perfect marriage between big business and the small businessperson. The franchisor obtains new sources of expansion capital, new distribution markets, and self-motivated vendors of its products, while the franchisee acquires the products, expertise, stability, and marketing savvy usually available only to larger enterprises. The relationship between franchisor and franchisee is controlled by a contract which defines a series of duties, obligations, and promises.

Robert Parkinson, talking about China’s Recruitment Trends
Amid the current financial crisis, we know there are fewer jobs available. To tell our listeners the latest information about the job market in China and to share some useful tips for job seekers, we have an expert in studio today.

With most of the globe held back by a deep recession, how is it that a massive 50% of China’s companies are still expecting to recruit this quarter?

Polska gospodarka zalicza się do jednych z nielicznych w Europie, która odnotowała wzrost PKB w ostatnim czasie.

Zeszłoroczne bankructwo czkawką odbiło się na obecnym rynku pracy, zwłaszcza w obszarze bankowości i finansów. Wyniki raportu „Global [...]POZYSKIWANIE TALENTÓW W TRUDNYCH CZASACH
Rynek spowalnia, co powoduje, że przedsiębiorstwa coraz ostrożniej rekrutują nowych pracowników. Z drugiej strony kandydaci realizujący się u obecnego pracodawcy są coraz mniej skłonni do podjęcia ryzyka i zmiany pracy. Dodatkowo kryzys odmieniany przez wszystkie przypadki w mediach jak i często negatywne prognozy gospodarcze sprawiają że pozyskanie najbardziej wartościowych pracowników robi się coraz trudniejsze.
