ARE YOU A STRONG CANDIDATE FOR PROFESSIONAL CONSULTING AND CONTRACTING?

I am a strong believer in the professional contracting work avenue/model. I feel it gets us closer to our roots, and takes us back to a time before we had Fortune 500 companies where we could go work for 30 years and retire. Employment, as we know it today, is the newest work model as a whole. There are other avenues and models that have come about as a result of traditional employment, but the idea of someone paying you a set salary for 40 hours a week, giving you 2 weeks paid vacation and 5 PTO days per year is, believe it or not, quite new!!! Right now you are probably thinking I am completely nuts, and that's ok, stay with me and you will see what I mean.

Prior to the industrial age, people worked either at home or very near, and they did one thing, that is, 1 job. We will use a Blacksmith as an example. This Blacksmith would be commissioned by a Buggy-maker making a buggy (that someone requested from him) to make 6 wheels. The Blacksmith would set a price, and the Buggy-maker would agree to it. The Blacksmith would work on these wheels for a 3 day period and then he would give the finished product to the Buggy-maker in exchange for the money (or clams!). The next day, a Farmer calls and requests that you build him a new piece of farming equipment, and the cycle begins all over again. What would not happen is the Blacksmith requesting 10 clams an hour until the job was done or telling the Buggy-maker that he would work on them for 1 day, take a fishing trip for 2 days (which the Buggy-maker would pay for) and then returning to work to finish up the wheels over the course of the next week or two.

Being a professional contractor is a lot like being that Blacksmith. A company might call you (your are a Mechanical Design Engineer) one day and request that you work with them to design a new steering & brake system for a new car they are working on. You will agree on a price (likely an hour wage and possibly a per diem) and you go to work, either at your home office or at the companies' facility. Once that new steering & brake system has been designed, you go on to help design a new tractor for a farm equipment manufacturer, and the cycle starts all over.

In conclusion, consulting and contracting can give you the best of both worlds-that is, corporate America and self-employment. I have been working with Contractors and Consultants from both a recruiting and career coaching perspective over my entire career and I have to tell you, most of them wouldn't change their careers for anything! Many actually look forward to companies downsizing because that often means 'call in the Consultants!' Do you want to explore if Consulting and Contracting is for you?

Volvo North America Reports January Sales Drop

Volvo Cars of North America, LLC, reported 7,819 sales in the United States for the month of January. Compared to the figures reported last year for the same month, the numbers are down by 12 percent.

Overall Volvo sales for North America including Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico, were 8,628. The number is 11 percent down compared to the start of 2006. Volvo Canada sales dropped by 4.5 percent with 571 units sold while Volvo Mexico sales increased by 15.5 percent with 238 units sold.

Volvo Cars of North America, which is based in Irvine, California, is a subsidiary of the Volvo Car Corporation of Goteborg, Sweden. The company provides marketing, sales, parts, service, technology and training support to Volvo automobile retailers in the United States, and oversees Volvo operations in the markets of Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico.

Volvo is famed for manufacturing cars with safety in mind. “Cars are driven by people – the guiding principle behind everything we make at Volvo, therefore, is and must remain – safety,” said Assar Gabrielsson and Gustaf Larson - both are founders of Volvo.

“Every year is a road safety year at Volvo.” That is the tagline of the automaker. And it expresses vast commitment to safety. As a fact, a quick sojourn to the past could tell how the automaker has been seriously taking its commitment to automotive safety. The track record includes 75 ground-braking safety innovations since 1927. From the innovative Volvo brake pads, airbags, seatbelts, to other car systems - the automaker is determined to contribute the best in auto safety features and technologies.

For the 2007 model year, Volvo introduced the award-winning new Volvo S40 and its wagon counterpart the Volvo V50; the award-winning Volvo XC90; the sporty Volvo S60 sedan - including the award-winning performance sedan; the Volvo S60 R and the performance wagon version - Volvo V70 R; the versatile Volvo V70 wagon and rugged Volvo XC70; the new Volvo C70 - the convertible with the innovative retractable hardtop, and the all-new Volvo S80.

Volvo is not losing its confidence in its lineup. The January sales drop could be recovered in the coming months. This is the very reason why the automaker is concentrating on marketing strategies to make the new lineup sell better.

The Ford Motor Co., where Volvo brand belongs, also reported a sales decline by 19 percent compared to last year’s figures. The decline was primarily attributed to the reduction in sales to daily rental companies by 65 percent.

"All of us at Ford are focused on restructuring our business to be profitable at lower volumes and offering more of the products people want, including more cars and more crossovers," said Mark Fields, Ford's President of The Americas. "We are focusing more of our attention on retail customers and reducing sales to daily rental companies sharply. Our customers benefit from this plan because their vehicles' residual values will improve - a trend we already are seeing with our newest products."

According to the Automotive Leasing Guide, “The resale values of Ford's newest products have improved by as much as 11 percentage points with Ford closing the gap on many Asian competitors.” The residual values have also improved 2 percentage points compared with the prior model year for the 2007 Ford Fusion sedan. Sales have also been 6 points better for the 2007 Lincoln Navigator, 9 points better for the 2007 Ford Expedition and 11 points better for the 2008 Ford Escape. Ford's new 2007 Edge crossover has resale values higher than Toyota Highlander and Nissan Murano. Ford, along with all its brands, is striving hard to recover from the debilitating loss.

Why cant someone build an accessory that install easily in any car storing extra residual energy to home use?

A gadget that can fit easily in anycar, plug it in and let it accumulate and store all the wasted energy, energy resulted from a car decelerating or braking..And as I reach home, plug it on a special power socket on my garage, specifically to run my home lightings or computer? This saves a lot of gasoline dollars cummulatively for the whoel country, isnt it? And helps to reduce the Earth Warming too!
Hope the high storing capacity of modern bateries is now cheaper as it is more widely accepted as standard

thats basically the idea of a hybrid engine, except instead of powering a house, it helps power the car. see, electric motors actually work as electric generators in reverse, so hybrid cars have a gas and electric motor. the electric motor generates power when braking, which is stored in batteries. then, when you start up again, the electric motor helps accelerate so the gas engine doesnt work so hard. its alot easier and more efficient to use the stored enrgy within the car rather than putting it into the power grid.
