    Passive Candidates: Are You An Active or Passive Job Searcher
    What does it mean to be a passive candidate?In the recruitment world, recruiters and hiring managers use the term “passive candidate” to describe someone who is not actively looking for a job.A passive candidate is typically someone who isn’t looking for a new job but who would (or might) consider a good opportunity if one arose.This is opposed to being an active candidate, someone who is actively searching for a new job.Many in the recruitment world talk about how a passive candidate is preferabl
    MSDS SHEETS

    MSDS stands for Material Safety Data Sheets. MSDS sheets contain nine sections. These sections are:

    I. General Information

    II. Ingredients

    III. Physical Data

    IV. Fire and Explosion Hazard Data

    V. Health Hazard Information

    VI. Reactivity Data

    VII. Spill, Leak and Disposal Procedures VIII. Special Handling Information

    IX. User’s Responsibility

    At the top of each sheet is a square on end. It looks like a diamond shape. It is broken into four squares inside this diamond shape. The squares mean:

    Top Square (Fire)

    Left Square (Toxic)

    Right Square (Reaction)

    Bottom Square (Special)

    In each square there is a number from zero to four. The numbers equal:

    Four = Extreme

    Three = High

    Two = Moderate

    One = Slight

    Zero = Insignificant

    This indicates how safe or volatile the product is. It also gives you an indication of whether the fumes are dangerous, if it is flammable, if it will react adversely with other chemical or if it is radioactive or biologically unsafe.

    Section I, the general information section, contains information such as:

    Who prepared the MSDS Sheet

    The product’s trade name and type of chemical

    Which chemical family the product belongs to

    Basic formula

    Name and address of manufacturer

    DOT shipping classification

    DOT Hazard classification

    Section II contains ingredients. Generally only hazardous ingredients will be listed. It will normally be in chart form:

    Name of component

    CAS number

    Percentage of hazardous chemicals

    Concentration in parts per million

    Section III contains physical data, things that you probably learned in chemistry class:

    Boiling point
     Vapor pressure
     Vapor density
     Solubility in water
     Odor
     Appearance and color
     Gravity in terms of water
     Percentage which is or could be volatile
     Reactivity, if any, in water

    Making an Agreement with Your Power Team
    Power Teams seem like an ideal way to promote your business and offer a wide range of services. It is true when they work well. Although the concept is excellent, you should not work with a Power Team unless you have an agreement in place. With an agreement, you will be able to define what is important and how to divide the spoils. Never leave anything to chance. If you know that you will be providing one hundred hours of work and the other team member will be providing only twenty, then the agreement must reflect how you plan on h

    Essentials of Business Ethics
    Traditionally, business ethics was considered to be a very controversial notion because even nowadays some people believe that it is a cornerstone of any future more or less prospective company’s strategy while others perceive it like an oxymoron. Personally, I think that business ethics have to be developed yet and, unfortunately, it is mainly the question philosophers or social critics are worried about but not those who are in the center of its attention, namely businessmen, managers, employees, etc. As far as I understand, the
