Do Not Be Frightened of Switching Your Vocation

February 16th, 2010

Don’t always listen to the weird things that people talk about when you mention the fact that you want to change your job. To be honest, a lot of what is spoken about career strategies is a load of rubbish.This is one of a series of articles to help you understand the truth about changing your job and preparing properly for a job interview.Let’s start by tackling some of the career myths that you might have heard of.

  1. Career Myth: You can’t make a living doing something you really, truly loveThis is the grand-daddy of career myths, the belief that you can’t have a “practical” career doing something that you were passionate about. It has to be one or the other.

    This myth is rooted in fear. Fear that we have to sacrifice our happiness to make a living. Don’t buy the myth that you can’t earn a living by doing what you love.

  2. Career Myth: Asking “What’s the best thing for me to do?” is the right question

    This is one of the most common questions asked when considering a career change or a career move. It seems like a logical analysis - weigh the pros and cons and evaluate the balance.

    Do not ask yourself this question!! It rarely leads you to the answers you’re seeking. It will lead you to feeling overwhelmed with options (sound familiar?), or feeling like you have to choose what’s practical over what seems to be impractical.

    The question that will lead you to answers is simple (but not easy!!) It is “What do I really want to do?” This is a very different question than “what’s best?”

Naveen Jain on InfoSpace and Intelius

February 12th, 2010

Naveen Jain is ahead of his game in terms of the technologies - in collecting, converting and transferring information from the Web to individual consumers and companies - that he engaged himself in. His brainchild, Intellius Inc, is an online information commerce company that functions as a provider of data and assistance to consumers, empowering them to make the best decisions about their business, assets and loved ones.

The Intelius co-founder was born in Uttar Pradesh, India on September 6th 1959. At the Indian Institute of Technology in Roorkee, he earned his undergraduate degree in engineering. At St. Xavier School of Management, he obtained his Master’s degree. After completing his Master’s, he left for the US through a business exchange program. His main intention was to study the high technology market of the country.

First employed at Burroughs Corporation (now called Unisys) in New Jersey, Naveen Jain later moved to Washington in 1989 to work for Microsoft Corporation as a senior executive. In the seven years that he had been in the company, he was among those who launched the online service MSN (Microsoft Network).

In the mid-90s he set out to form InfoSpace Inc, a privately owned metasearch business, and he functioned as its chief executive officer. The company intends to offer telephone directories and all other vital information to online properties like MSN, Lycos and AOL (America Online). The CEO resigned from the company but he continued to be one of its board directors until June of 2005.

In January of 2003, Naveen Jain established Intelius Incorporated, a business that proffered critical information to its consumers. Unlike InfoSpace, the company supplies web-based products and services such as background checks and the identity theft protection IDWatch, which has the power to secure clients from any form of fraudulence. The firm has recently reached more than 10 million unique consumers.

Edinburgh Quay 2 Shatters All Rumours of Investor Disinterest, Sells for £21M

February 5th, 2010


Edinburgh Quay 2, a joint initiative development product, was bought for £21.1 million by the Luxembourg-based Cordea Savills European Commercial Fund. Proving all speculators wrong that investors were no more interested in the development, the sale brought in a profit of nearly 6per cent and is expected to be a big boost to the reputation of the new financial district.

The Edinburgh Quay 2 has already attracted many of the big names including firms like Pinsent Masons solicitors and Baker Tilly and is said to be the most extensive shared office project in the region. It was earlier thought that development would be helpful in the growth of the financial district of Edinburgh.

After the emergence of the financial market credit squeeze in 2007 developers have found it hard to shift office space and land with 20per cent of the Edinburgh Quay 2 area still requiring tenants. If sources are to be believed some tenants are even thinking of quitting the general area.

The development site itself is situated near the former headquarters of HBOS before Lloyds Banking Group bought it.

The development was managed by the Edinburgh Quay Ltd., who claim that the building had several people and organizations bidding for it even before a formal advisement was released to attract potential buyers.

But according to a commercial property insider, the development is not a very good deal as it is too close to the Bank of Scotland offices, which be emptied by the bank very soon leaving the nearby area vacant, a scene that prospective tenants may find very unappealing.
