Agawam, MA (Vocus/PRWEB ) August 7, 2008 — Many Americans have been directly affected by the housing crisis over the past two years, and almost all of us are feeling the effects of higher prices and tighter creditor policies. Recent statistics indicate that many consumers have begun relying on their credit cards more often to meet their day-to-day expenses. Not surprisingly, credit card debt has spiked - the national personal total is approaching $1 trillion dollars - and account delinquencies are on the rise. There may be no better time to enact a Credit Cardholders Bill of Rights, and that’s precisely what Representative Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) has put before Congress.

Cambridge Credit Counseling logo

“The Credit Cardholders Bill of Rights Act of 2008 is needed to protect consumers,” notes Christopher Viale, president and CEO of Cambridge Credit Counseling, a Massachusetts-based agency that assists financially troubled individuals nationwide. “This type of legislation can help ensure the economic prosperity of all Americans by shielding them from potentially harmful consequences they may not understand.”

Some of the key provisions of the Act include:

Elimination of Universal Default policies – A creditor would no longer be able to change the terms of its agreement with a cardholder if late payments are made to other lenders.

Arbitrary increases in interest rates minimized – A creditor would only be able to increase its rates as stipulated in the original contract with the cardholder.

Advanced notice of intended rate increases – If a creditor wants to increase the interest rate charged on an account, it would have to inform the cardholder at least 45 days in advance, and allow for the consumer to decline the increase by canceling the account. The balance would then have to be repaid at the interest rate currently being charged.

Over-limit management – Consumers would be able to prohibit their creditors from extending credit beyond the original terms of their contract, thus eliminating over-limit fees.

Elimination of double-cycle billing – Double-cycle billing allows a creditor to charge interest on the cardholder’s average daily balance by including the purchases from that billing cycle and those from the month before.

Sufficient notice of payment – Creditors would be required to mail statements at least 25 days in advance of the cardholder’s due date.

“It may sound cliché, but knowledge really is power,” commented Viale. “While this legislation is long overdue, so is the need for financial literacy. Many of the people in trouble today could have avoided difficulty if they knew the fundamentals of personal finance.”

Past participants have enthusiastically endorsed this in-depth workshop, describing it as “an investment that pays for itself” with information that can be “immediately put to use.”

“With markets in a state of tremendous volatility, it is now more important than ever to employ disciplined value investing strategies. By focusing on undervalued stocks, investors can take advantage of the current environment and realize the best long-term gains,” said Whitney Tilson, the co-founder of the Value Investing Congress, the founder of hedge fund firm T2 Partners, and a regular columnist for the Financial Times and Kiplinger’s Personal Finance.

Honolulu, HI (PRWEB) August 7, 2008 — Tassho Pearce, CEO and Founder of Flip the Bird Entertainment is set to release his forthcoming Album entitled “The Opening Act” on August 8th 2008. The date’s significance hits close to home for the artist because it reflects 808, Hawai’i’s area code and the MC/designer’s biggest fan base. As a way of saying thanks, Tassho in collaboration with The Honolulu Advertiser, the largest newspaper in Hawaii, have joined together to give visitors and residents of Hawaii the album for free.

The Honolulu Advertiser, which is Hawai’i’s largest print publication, is scheduled to run an in-depth story on Mr. Pearce in this Friday’s paper written by Lacy Matsumoto. The Advertiser readers can locate a code within the story and then they can log on to www.flipthebirdonline.com and download the album, The Opening Act for free. The launch date for the website is set for August 8th which is the same day as the album’s public release. When asked about the move, Tassho expressed his sentiments by saying, “It’s my way of giving back to the people of Honolulu for all the support they have been giving me and Flip the Bird Entertainment over the years.”

The Opening Act is the continuation of the album’s debut hit single “Return to the Basics.” “Return to the Basics” featuring Evidence and DJ Babu, Dj Chonz (produced by Evidence of Dilated Peoples and Franky Fade of Radio Bums) was featured on MTV’s Adventures in Hollyhood. Tassho’s gift and passion for rhyming is on throughout the album with famed production by Brian “B-Money” Hughes (Jay Z, 50 cent), Grammy award winner Evidence of Dilated Peoples (Kanye West, Beastie Boys, Linkin Park, Talib Kweli, The Alchemis), Rhettmatic, Babu, Hawaii’s own Syze One, Franky Fade of Radio Bums (WC, Boo Ya Tribe, RBX, Shorty of the Lench Mob), The Level, and notable collaborations with Qbert, Apathy, and Rakaa Iriscience. Radio Bums founder and Flip the Bird’s VP of Marketing, Hakeem Khaaliq said, “Tassho flew to Canada, LA, New York, and Japan to record, mix and master this album. This is not a mix tape; its four years in the making, and he is giving it away for free to the Hi State!”

“Return to the Basics” single featuring Evidence, DJ Babu, Dj Chonz and Franky Fade was released May 27th 2008 and distributed by Avatar/Itunes and Beatsource.

August 19th is the launch date of “The Opening Act” Pack that features the CD with bonus songs, a poster, and a limited Opening Act Tee. The package will be sold in select boutiques across the globe two weeks after the albums initial release.

The release party hosted by Dilated Peoples Rakaa Iriscience is set for Friday August 8th at club Indigo in Honolulu.

Tassho Pearce will be live on radio station Hot 93.9 FM (Honolulu), the Mind Tactics Show, hosted by DJ Jimmy Taco. The show, which is 10 years in the running, will interview Tassho about the album, fashion and the future of hip-hop in Hawaii.

Denver, CO (PRWEB) August 7, 2008 — “A consultant is someone who wakes up every morning unemployed,” says William S. Frank, President/CEO of CareerLab®, a career strategy firm based in Denver, CO.
“Consultants are perpetual job-hunters, so they need powerful cover letters to find new clients and jumpstart their businesses.” That’s why Mr. Frank posted “1,001 FREE Examples of Cover Letters for Consultants” at www.cover-letters.com. The cover letter samples are free, not trapped behind a password or subscription fee.

Mr. Frank has been extraordinarily lucky in his consulting practice. He began in 1978 in a spare bedroom of his house, and grew a $1,000,000 professional services business within 11 years. Since then, more than 300 brand-name corporations have hired CareerLab® as consultants.

These 1,001 letters, notes, memos, and e-mails created his success. If you’re a consultant, or thinking about becoming one, his time-tested library may increase your business. By surfing the site, you’ll find exactly the right letter to open a new door, announce a big event, collect a past-due account, or snatch a major consulting assignment from a competitor.

Gathered over 30 years, the collection of cover letter examples is a goldmine, covering every possible consulting issue: business development (getting clients), consulting and customer service (keeping clients), and day-to-day operations (running the business).

These three categories are divided into 21 subcategories. The Public Relations section contains 18 different types of letters, everything from Announcements to Sympathy. The Proposal section hosts 28 samples. The Thank You section contains 114 examples.

After reviewing “1,001 FREE Cover Letter Examples for Consultants,” Carolyn Byram, Senior Vice President of Human Resources for Crescent Healthcare in Anaheim, CA said, “Most letters begin with a tutorial about how and why the letter was written, so you get a consulting education as well as a template. It’s awesome!”

Mr. Frank says, “I’m confident these free cover letter templates will ignite your thoughts. You may consult in a different specialty in a different industry than mine, but our problems are the same. Best of all, the 1,001 free cover letter examples are not trapped behind a password or subscription fee. They’re available to everyone.”

The author, William S. Frank, is President/CEO of CareerLab®, a career strategy and leadership development firm based in Denver, Colorado USA. Since 1978, more than 300 brand-name corporations in 75 industries have hired CareerLab® to provide Career Strategy, Testing & Assessment, Executive Coaching, Leadership Development, and Outplacement. 2008 is CareerLab’s 30th anniversary.

Nashua, NH (PRWEB) August 6, 2008 — Akken, (www.akken.com), the first All-in-One on demand staffing and recruiting software provider announced it experienced dramatic growth, acquiring more than 200 clients during the first 12 months of selling its flagship product, Akken Staffing™. Integration and automation of all core business functions, ease of use, and superior service are the primary features driving staffing and recruiting companies to purchase Akken.

An innovative Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) company, Akken is causing a rapid shift in the staffing and recruiting software market. Akken’s impressive growth is a result of companies recognizing there is finally an affordable, All-in-One software solution to manage their entire business. More than just an applicant tracking system, Akken Staffing allows companies to be more efficient and effective in their sales and recruiting process while streamlining their back office human resources, billing, accounting and reporting functions.

A year ago, few knew about Akken. That’s changed. Bruce A. Bille, president of Technical Staffing Professionals LLC, had looked at Akken Staffing back in the fall of 2007. After reviewing 12 products, Bille’s team narrowed the field to three of Akken’s competitors.

“I don’t remember why I decided to give them (Akken) another look before making our final selection, but the timing was good,” says Bille. “… I had everyone look at Akken again, and it seemed to have everything the other three had, plus a more intuitive user interface and great resume parsing.”

The fact that it has grown to more than 200 customers in its first year is a testament to the value Akken provides its customers. “It reinforces our mission of empowering thousands of staffing and recruiting firms to manage themselves efficiently with an integrated, All-in-One solution that a business of any size can afford,” notes founder Giridhar Akkineni. “By automating daily tasks, companies are able to make more placements, generate more revenues, and increase their bottom line.”

And those companies are quickly learning that Akken’s team is committed to providing in-depth training, offering outstanding support, including 99.99% uptime and continuously enhancing its product - more than 70 percent of which stem from direct customer feedback.

Deb Schneider, VP and General Counsel of the Crossfire Group LLC, says, “We are impressed with the service that the Akken support team has been providing. Not only is the team incredibly responsive and available, but they are also fun to work with! They have helped us
through the transition to Akken, and we were able to begin use of the program the same day that we signed up. I would highly recommend Akken to any staffing company.”

Within the past year, Akken has upgraded system features including powerful summary screens, 360 degree visibility, client self service, invoicing, and reporting. “Their product has come a long way,” says Bille. “With a few more updates, which are scheduled soon, they will arguably be the best ATS out there.”   

About Akken
Akken provides affordable on demand software solutions for staffing and recruiting companies to run their entire business with one powerfully simple, integrated, web-based system. Akken’s flagship offering, Akken Staffing™, combines email, applicant tracking, CRM, job management, accounting, human resource management, and reporting into the industry’s first All-in-One software system. Akken helps its clients automate processes across all business functions, allowing them to generate more revenues and profits faster and easier while providing unparalleled client service.

Detroit, MI (PRWEB) August 7, 2008 — Social media has changed the game in recruiting. Organizations need to be creative and compelling in their communications to attract the best job candidates, and support it with an interactive career site.

In Social Networking and Your Career Site: Innovating for a Better Applicant Experience, applicant tracking vendor nowHIRE urges organizations to take the time to understand the new breed of applicants. Job seekers today are highly connected through online social networking sites like Facebook, LinkedIn and MySpace. And they expect that same level of interaction from potential employers.

“Static career sites no longer work,” said Joseph Impastato, president of nowHIRE. “Many of the applicants live online, and expect more than one-way communications from companies they’d like to work for. Companies need to reach out with new media like blogging and video tours, which brands their company as forward-thinking and applicant-friendly.”

Since applicants are consumers of the corporate brand, companies that design or redo their career site must remember specific candidate demographics. These include the age of the applicants, what their primary language is, their education level and what type of job they’re looking for (hourly or salaried).

Since career sites are the front end that integrates into the company’s hiring system, companies can do much to keep the conversation going. Pre-screening assessments should be designed so applicants can stop and start on their own time. Automated responses to applicant interaction personalize the company’s keep-in-touch communications (such as interview scheduling, status checks, etc.)

The nowHIRE application tracking system is the only system on the market focused on the applicant experience. nowHIRE provides the frontline technical support for candidates, with experts that respond to their questions quickly. Candidates can check their status online, and the system supports multiple languages. All these functions help candidates feel valued and respected during the application process.
