I’m not a big fan of YouTube tutorials since I find, too many times, there is a lot of self-promotion and little content value but of course, there are some exceptions and I find this person truly smart and even sarcastically funny as she explains what some job description jargon really means,,,

Learn while having some fun😎

Don't taste that coffee yet...

MUST READ WITHOUT FAILURE!

Many people will repeat the past, during the present moment, which will obviously affect their future.

However, it doesn't have to be that way! You can make a change. How?

"Keep your face always toward the sunshine - and the shadows will fall behind you."

Don't simply make the change, rather, be the change in 2024.

Then, everything else will fall-in-place. (See illustration below.)

I Believe You Can...!

Put that coffee down and...

MUST READ WITHOUT FAILURE!

Imagine, 2024 being a big fat blank check waiting for you to write the desires of your heart.

What would you write? When would you start? How can you see things differently?

Such as, I need a...

• New Job.
• New Car.
• New House.
• New Friendship.
• New Relationship.

Trust yourself to fill-in the blanks, which causes everything else to gradually fall-in-place.

You work in customer service either in person or online, and unlike your friends working in restaurants, take out food deliveries or hotels, in spite of providing exceptional service, you get NO TIP…

In spite of most companies telling us how we are the “face” of the company and how “crucial” we are..., they dont think of adding a tipping option when working online or dont go beyond the famous tips jar when in a physical store.

But you can very easily make extra cash by adding a tipping option from within any E-store if you work online or original tip jar ideas and QR payment apps for those working in person👍😎

1 - If you work online:

• All websites have an E-store running from the back to collect payment: Shopify, Square, Woocommerce, GoDdady, etc

• Ask your manager or go to the checkout option within settings. You will often have a tipping option. Often, you can also customize the description for this option so you can invite the customer to specify whom they want to tip. https://youtu.be/BAlxH57k9Fc?si=BWDD3PuIiRz9lm4e

• Unfortunately, either customer service support systems ( Reamaze, Georgias, Zendesk) havent yet realized the potential this could add to businesses by adding the option to their customer service satisfaction surveys or I’m crazy…

2 - If you work in person:

• My ultimate Tipping tip😎l: I’ve seen some tipping jars trying to be funny to get customers to tip in retail stores and I dont know about you but I find them a bit invasive.

• One cool idea would be to add a spinning tip wheel customers could play for a discount or prize whenever the spin lands on the right spot💲👍 This can also be done online. You can tweak around different similar ideas: a trivia tip jar for a discount or prize.

• You can complement or replace the good ‘ol tips jar by placing a very visible QR code on the counter directing the customer to a tipping app with no download needed. Many times, as customers we dont carry cash but I also think its possible that these QR codes can come across as aggressive.. There is also an increasing number of self-service places where an Ipad asks you for a tip… say whaaat???

• Invite the manager or owner to add a QR code for tipping discretely to the ticket or boxing so the customer can calmly decide from the comfort of his privacy.

• There are many apps doing this: https://tipbrightly.com/, http://www.globaltippingapp.com/ https://etip.io/ https://www.wearetipjar.com/us/personal/ and more.

Be Bold, offer your manager ideas with complete solutions!

Put down that coffee or hot chocolate...!

¡MUST READ NOW!

(Don't believe a word I'm saying, just trust your heart.)

Listen carefully...you can become more successful in 2024 "statistically" than 2023, if you...

1. Release the old daunting pains.
2. Release the old heavy baggage.
3. Release the old scornful situations.
4. Release the old thought process.
5. Release the old toxic conversations.

It has been said that, "so as a man or woman thinketh and speaketh, so shall their circumstances become."

This is how you take flight in 2024.

I Believe You Can...!

Along with Carmina Burana from Carl Orff and the best paintings from Joseph Turner: https://youtu.be/GXFSK0ogeg4?si=ZB84yLLGZNAtfWb-

Having been mostly working from “home” over 20 years, in my opinion, there are two sets of requirements:

1 - First the vitals!

If you want to work from home its because you want to be at eeaaasse… so once you land a wfh job you’ll first need:

• Your best Chocolate - it pumps up the blood- very good since in this industry you'll have your ass glued to a chair for many hours😉
• Your favorite drink - Mine is Argentinean Mate, coffee, coke and juices. When I get a real pain customer I resort to a few sips of wine or beer.
• Your favorite healthy snacks: Nuts and dried fruits are super cool since you dont waste time cooking anything and it doenst distract from work.
• Great clean environment - hmmm.. This is the kind of proper advice we need to say, I have to admit, I fail this one often...
• A great cushioned office chair - same reason as N1!
• A great music playlist

Ok so if you think thats humorous… no no no.. , you’ll soon see how all that is indispensable***

2 - The functional stuff:

• Obviously you need a PC, a phone and a great internet connection. Many companies require you have a minimum internet speed consisting of download and upload times. Typically this minimum is 10-15 Mbps. It pays to have significantly more: When wfh you’ll have many tabs open so you need the best speed you can get so your browser doenst freeze. Here you can see your speed: https://www.speedtest.net/

• Aside a PC, many jobs will require you to use a landline phone either for traditional customer service or a cell phone for testing apps or other things.

• A noise canceling headset: Many times companies require a super silent setting to service their customers through phone and you cant have dogs barking.. Around $50

• Mouse: Some you plug in to your PC, some are wireless, I’m with the cabled team, wireless looks Chic but I find its not 100% reliable since many times its unresponsive and you find yourself moving the damn mouse without it actually moving on the screen.. $20

• A separate keyboard: if you have a laptop, a separate keyboard can allow you to be more distant and that way avoid getting your eyes and back tired too soon. I find wired is more stable $25

• Ethernet cable: Many companies require you work “ wired” meaning you dont depend entirely on wifi that can be unstable. Even if most dont require it, its super useful. $5

• Laptop stands: Also great to prevent hunching over the screen. $60 for great adaptability and quality.

• Blue light glasses: When working many hours in front of a screen, your eyes will get tired.. To remain productive the most, it can be very useful to use computer lenses that block blue light. Some see no big difference, to me the difference is huge; I can work many more hours before my eyes get tired.

• Blue light reduction from the PC/laptop's own screen or as an addon; You can try programs like: https://justgetflux.com/. I find it helps but I still need bluelight glasses.

3 - Companies that hire remotely AND provide the basic equipment, Here is a post I wrote months ago with a list of companies. https://www.jobcase.com/conversations/ea8e25ea-ab76-49eb-9b9b-893ef35e2d95?sharedFrom=copyLink&p_key=GMneG6bF3LSbLz9uLFr_AMOE

Good luck!!

I'm in my late 50s, have been a freelance writer for a long time, have a BS in math and a PhD in physics. I desperately need to find a job. I have excellent numerical skills, analytical skills, writing skills and am a great critical thinker. I have always learned very fast. But I'm stumped what kinds of jobs I might apply for, esp at my age. Any ideas? And how do I sell myself at this age, with only about 7 years in the corporate world, mostly as a systems engineer and project manager, 30 yrs ago. (I don't want to go back to that industry.)

From my personal experience in life, also the excellent teaching from my mentors...Masters Of The Art, I found the measurements of truth in the statement below:

This is what caused me to change; and so can you.

I Believe You Can...!

MUST READ WITHOUT FAILURE!

The joys of life are so precious that once it's damaged, you can't get it back to it's rightful form.

That's why in selecting true friendships you don't want to fall. So, listen to your parents so you can fly!

PROVEN POINTS TO REMEMBER:

True friendships will NOT...

1. Endanger your health and welfare.
2. Suffocate your futuristic dreams.
3. Have a negative or toxic impact on you.
4. Entrap you with troublesome lies.
5. Jeopardize your family values.
6. Reap havoc in your mindset.
7. Cause you to lose hope in life.

Bad association" with the wrong people, can ruin your useful habits.

Parents, teach your children early in life how to fly and become successful. Don't allow the wrong friendships clip their wings.

I Believe You Can...!
