Making an impression (The Star, Malaysia)

Everyone knows that first impressions are important. This is especially true at a new job where you're meeting so many people for the first time, and most important of all, your new boss.

1. Don't get in the way

New employees tend to be so overwhelmed that they ask too many questions of their boss and don't understand when they're starting to be a drain on team productivity.

Business/Management Skills
Business office premises (New Straits Times, Malaysia)

Choosing new business premises isn't always straight forward, and professional advice should be sought to ensure you get the right office space to suit your needs. If you are looking for new office premises or are thinking about starting a business, then you need to consider future expansion plans, security or whether the electrical wiring is adequate for TVs, computers, fax machines and telephone systems.

Human Resource
Aug 31 deadline for firms to register workers with Socso (The Star, Malaysia)

Employers who have yet to register their workers with Socso have until the end of the month to do so or risk getting compounded. Socso chief executive officer Datuk Dr Mohammad Azman Aziz Mohammed said that from Sept 1 onwards, they would begin Ops Kesan to track and issue compound to errant employers.

Opinion
Strategic thinking skills for organisations (New Straits Times, Malaysia)

Strategic thinking employs thinking tools to enable organisations to move from what they are to what they could be in the future. Strategic thinking requires the ability to analyse the overall organisation and the industry. In our consulting engagement with clients to undertake strategic direction setting, our company has developed the B.A.C.H.A. analysis to help CEOs and managers translate strategic thinking into tangible strategic action plan.

Tips
How to create a great resume (New Straits Times, Malaysia)

Imagine you asked a company for their brochure and they gave you a list of projects they have done in the past, and that's it. Odds are you would not end up using that company - because they are not talking about what they can do for you. Why should your resume be any different?

Working Smart
Balancing act for working women (New Straits Times, Malaysia)

Looking after your home and job at the same time is quite a harrowing experience. Today, women are both homemakers as well as career-oriented, but it is not an easy task to strike a balance.
