Upgrade your small businesses phone system

November 21, 2007 by Tricia

If you own a small business and have been thinking of upgrading your telephone system to one that includes voIP technology you might want to visit Neobits and have a look at their Talkswitch phone systems.

Neobits specializes in providing phone systems to small businesses. When I say small businesses I mean small, with perhaps only two employees to larger small businesses with up to 300 employees who would use the system. They currently have over 3000 customers nationwide. Their clients belong to just about every field of business from retail to medical to construction and so on.

Neobits is able to perform local installation services in every zip code across the nation and their customers can choose from dial tone and or broadband internet services.

Now I’ll bet you’d like to know what kind of telephone brands are available with their phone systems? Well, Neobits offers major brand name telephone systems from Panasonic, Avaya, NEC, Allworx, Talkswitch, Epygi and several others.

Neobits also offers a complete range of telephone system accessories such as headsets, corded telephones, surge protection, cordless phones, voicemail systems and more. While you are on the site you can visit their forums or read their client testimonials.

Looking for a job? Try Monster

November 7, 2007 by Tricia

Monster.ca has been around for quite a while. I remember searching for nursing jobs on the site as long ago as perhaps 10 years ago! I’m glad to see that it’s still around and has so many options for employers and job seekers.

I’m discussing Monster.ca here, but as you probably already know Monster is a worldwide company with sites for specific countries such as the United States, Australia, Hong Kong, and many European countries. I don’t think there’s a part of the globe that they don’t cover!

If you are visiting the site to look over their job listing you’ll find a wide variety of positions from professional listings in the medical field to service or trade industries. You can search by the type of employment you are interested in or you can search for jobs by location or if you are an employer you can easily create a post job in the system.

Just like when I used Monster in the past, a job seeker can register and create a profile which can include the posting of your resume. I really like that feature because once your resume is up on the site you can update it over time. Employers can look over the listings as well to find potential employees that might suit whatever position for which they are hiring so posting your resume and creating a profile on the site has many benefits.

You’ll also find a Career centre on the site where you can read articles containing career advice, and the resume centre where you can build an online resume. You’ll also discover the Interview Centre, Self Assessment centre, Employment Law Centre and career news within the Career Centre subheading at the top of every page on Monster.ca.

As you can see there are quite a number of resources at Monster for anyone who is searching for a job. I’m certain that if you were to visit the various centres you’d gain some valuable knowledge that would help you get through interviews successfully or that would teach you to create a resume that would catch an employers eye.

Visit the Monster site to start setting up your profile and resume today.

I’m a bad bad person

November 2, 2007 by Tricia

The house next door to use is for sale. The semi-detached … really attached house I mean.

Am I a bad person to make noise in my house when I hear a really noisy crowd of people go through the house next door? Am I?

Seriously. The other day when I wasn’t feeling well I was asleep on the couch and I was rudely awoken when the realtor or the people he/she was showing the house next door to started talking loudly at the top of his voice. I mean – he was so loud he woke me up out of a deep sleep!

In fear of the loud talker being a potential home buyer, I got up off the couch and started walking around my home – loudly. You know, walking on my heels. Thump, thump thump up and down the stairs. I also closed a few doors noisily, coughed a bit and turned the TV up a bit.

Nothing too terrible or was it?

All I was doing was trying to show the potential home buyer that if someone makes really loud noises in either home it can be heard.

You know, as much as I complain about our current karaoke neighbors they aren’t that bad. Unless their son is jumping on the couch or playing a really loud video game (sound up high, probably when parents aren’t home) we don’t hear them that much. I mean, we can’t hear normal conversations or anything. It’s just when they start playing their musical instruments – tuba? electric guitar, start singing gawd awful karaoke or have a party (with fellow karaoke buddies) that we really hear them.

But if a loud talker moves in … someone that we’ll be able to hear all the time, every day? Ahhhh! I swear we’ll have to move.

The person that was either showing or viewing the house the other day was sooooo loud!

So. Am I bad for making some noise of my own?

Join AutionAds and instantly get $25!

October 4, 2007 by Tricia

I’ve been using AuctionAds on my blogs pretty much since Auction ads started up in March, 2007.

Do you see the widget in my right sidebar? About a third of the way down? There’s photo’s of items and it says “Current Bid $” below them? Well that’s how I’m using AuctionAds on this site.

You can create vertical or horizontal widgets to use on your site. You can use them in posts, pages or in your sidebars if you’d like. It’s very easy. Plus, once you sign up you not only instantly get $25 added to your account immediately, but you are also automatically entered into their referral program so that anyone that signs up via your link gains you a referral.

You pick the keywords that fit with your site, article or post and AuctionAds finds products on Ebay that are being sold that fit the keyword descriptions.

For example, I just quickly created a widget that would display ipods, digital cameras or cellphones and this is what my widget looks like:

So what are you waiting for? Try AuctionAds Today!

BTW anyone who signed up, but hasn’t earned anything is apparently getting $25 added to their account too, so check your accounts! and yes, all my links are affiliate links. I’d love it if I could refer you and help you start making some money too.

Note – I’m only posting this to make you aware that you can get a free 25 bucks for signing up. This is not a paid post.

Our neighbors house is for sale!

September 28, 2007 by Tricia

Chris should be home from work any minute so I just went to the door to unlock it for him and while I was there I peeked outside. Chris walks home from work since we only live about three blocks away from the Hospital. I didn’t see him, but I did see a For Sale sign on our karaoke neighbors lawn!

Yeah! Finally!

They must have had a ton of repairs to do before they could put their house up for sale. I heard sawing noises as late as yesterday and hammering etc as early as what? Mid- August or so?

I’m not certain it’s their best moving putting their house up for sale at this time of year. They have a teenage son and they say that they want to move close to the husbands work (which really isn’t all that far from here) so does that mean their son will have to change schools? I think he’s in grade nine or ten. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have wanted to change schools while in one of those grades. Poor kid.

Well, we’ll see how things go. If they do sell I hope we get better, quieter neighbors! If we don’t, well, that will just re-enforce the fact that the next home we buy will be detached!
