That is a scam – neither of those are legitimate Hewlett Packard email addresses. if it doesn’t end in @hp.com you are not dealing with the real company

This is nothing but a scam to eventually steal all of your money and commit identity theft with your information. They will ask you to send a copy of your passport to some "agency" to process the visa, then ask for money. Then ask for more money for another certificate. Then more money then more until you finally wake up and realise it’s been a scam all the time

Delete this or report it to whichever agency in your country deals with internet crime

A major global company like HP is NEVER going to offer a job over the internet. If you were not flown to the UK for an interview at their head office in Bristol (they aren’t in London) then the job doesn’t exist. A company cannot get a visa for a person they’ve never met in person. That’s one of the requirements the company has to prove – that they have either flown to meet you or flown you in to meet them for at least 2 interviews before they can offer you the job and sponsor a visa

Sybase and SAP now have a partnership that is centered around co-innovation that will change how mobile users access critical business information anytime, anywhere while increasing productivity to mobile workers . Sybase and SAP co-innovated and collaborated to deliver the new SAP® Business Suite software for the first time to iPhone, Windows Mobile, BlackBerry and other mobile devices by integrating it with Sybase’s industry-leading mobile enterprise application platform. SAP and Sybase share a common vision to provide businesses easy access to valuable information contained within enterprise applications through tight integration with a wide range of mobile device environments.
In today’s tight economy sales managers like Graham Burroughs need to maximize their efficiency when working from outside the office. For Graham, however, the limitations of mobile technology are often frustrating. Now more than ever, business people need their phones to have the same tools as they have at their desks for handling critical tasks and decision making. Sybase, a company focused on mobilizing information, and software maker SAP, have partnered to bring this ability to the mobile workforce.
Especially, in this time of economic crisis, it is extremely important that decision makers, that business users are able to make the right decisions based on the right information right now. You cannot wait. You cannot wait to get back to your desk, to approve an exception, to look at a scorecard or a dashboard, something that, some business event that is critical to your business.
Through this partnership SAP will deliver the business applications and Sybase will provide the mobile infrastructure.
The combination of that will allow in excess of forty million SAP users out there to be able to deliver and communicate with each other not only through the back end but through devices and point to point devices or any devices like mobile phones, anything with an IP address. So its truly a kind of an enterprise on the move.
SAP Sybase mobility solutions will revolutionize how enterprise workers leverage mobility. For instance, if an executive is at the customer site and gets an urgent sales approval request on his iphone, he can directly access SAP business process applications to get the necessary insight to approve, or reject, this discount request immediately.

What this means is my salesmen are empowered to do complex deals in a much more timely fashion.
This will dramatically change the game for mobile professionals. Business teams are on the road all the time. Approval requests can be sent directly from their mobile and those requests can be processed anywhere, anytime and on any device.
This will dramatically improve the productivity and responsiveness of my team.
John Chen of Sybase believes the distinction between being in the office or out of the office is quickly becoming less significant.
There’s mobile worlds, theres non-mobile. It is probably a transitionary period in our industry. Going forward, nobody will care. They expect to pick up anything, get the same interface through the same applications. And they expect the applications to talk to each other with the same type of interfaces. So the future of mobility really is about anywhere, anytime, anyplace and with the same interfaces.
Bechelle Sieka already sees a wide spectrum of things SAP and Sybase will make mobile.
All of the way from simple activities like work for approvals, looking at your event and your costs and so on, all of them depend on critical applications that can only be done in a mobile environment. So, I see that entire spectrum of coverage happening. Mobile is not just about email anymore or about taking pictures and listening to songs. It is really about conducting business.
With the SAP Sybase solution, Graham and other mobile users will be able to conduct critical business right from their phones. This will bring the power of the desktop right to the palms of their hands.

GopherHaul 24- Lawn Care Software Business Entrepreneur Show

Business Question:

A member of our Gopher Lawn Care Business Forum, Michelle asked about buying a lawn care business. How much should she be paying?

In response a member wrote:
“General rule of thumb for buying customers is that they are worth about 1 month revenue. If they are commercial you’ll pay a little more and if there is a signed multi-year agreement in place ( which you said there is ) then this will push the price up too. So it could be worth as much as 2 or 3 months revenue depending on the situation.”

Mike then joined the discussion and talked about how many customers would stay with him after he bought their accounts.

“I did lose a few here and there, but I only paid 2.5 times the mowing price, and usually got at least 3 mows before they quit me.”

“Have you checked some of his accounts to make sure they are priced in accordance with what you would charge?

One of the lawn companies I bought out was considerably higher in pricing than mine, so I ended up raising all my original customers up to that standard.”

Should you offer to buy lawn care accounts on craigslist?

http://www.gophergraphics.com/forum/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=8;t=7521;

Fernando joined the discussion and said he posts ads in free online sites in which he offers to buy lawn care customer accounts. Here is the ad he posted in craigslist. Check out the full ad on our forum.

“-Too Tired over the Summer? …or can’t keep up during the hot season?
-Too Hard to work from Sunrise to Sundown?
-Too busy to take care of ALL of your accounts during the “Crunch Time”?
-Customers complaining about not cutting the lawn on time?

I am willing to buy Lawn Accounts”

All this information is great if you are interested in knowing how to buy lawn care accounts but what about selling them? How do you sell lawn care accounts? This poster wants to sell his accounts. How much and how should he do it.

One Gopher Lawn Care Business Forum member made a post about how best to make the transition when you sell lawn care accounts to a new lawn care business. “I bought out 3 lawn companies, and all we did was send a letter to the customers, describing what happened(a new lawn company would be taking care of your yard)

If you want to meet each and everyone of them, then do it.

The new lawn care business owner may want you to sign a non-compete clause so you can’t compete to take the customers back.”

Product Promotion

Kenneth LaVoie III wrote a book and starting a lawn care business entitled “How to start a lawn care business a whole NEW way.” One of the many fascinating things he discusses in the book is about pruning customers once a year. If there are customers that you find yourself clashing with, he suggests not to raise their price but to simply cancel service for them and replace them with newer clients you do work well with.

Hi,

I graduated with a degree in IT engineering from an engineering college affiliated to University Of Pune, India in 2009. While still in college I did not have any job offer from any IT companies visiting our campus, all due to low grades and poor academic performance. I managed to get a job off campus where I was hired as an Trainee Software Developer in a start-up IT company. I started working there but my job was more of QA where I would test the mobile games that are being developed and port them from J2ME to Android to some extent.

After studying 4 years of engineering, I realized that I am not interested working much into technology as working on the business side. So i made up mind and resigned from the job after 5 months.As I was more keen on getting broader business experience before pursuing a full time career in any industry & becoming an expert in that field, so I started doing research about Strategy Consulting and dreaming working in MCKinsey/BCG/ Bain. I applied for above three and a few other but all in vain as I never got through, as I realized it is highly impossible to get into these companies with such low grades and no work experience. Also these companies mostly hire IIT graduates.

My academic performance is very average with very little extra curricular.

10th- 66.8%
12th- 55%
Graduation (B.Tech) (average of 4 years)- 52.4%, I flunked once in graduation. During that 1 year gap in engineering I worked for 7 months as an IT Support Engineer in the IT department of an construction company where my work was to troubleshoot hardware/software/LAN/WAN problem, installing & updating software packages/LAN/WAN, and conducting a review of the configuration of computers in the organization.

After 6 months of gap since resignation from the first job after graduation I managed to get a job of an Analyst from one of the Big 4 for their Risk Advisory services. Here my work revolves around AUTOMOBILE/MANUFACTURING companies, where I help my team members in creating Standard Operating Procedures, Internal Audit, conducting business process reviews and formatting word documents & PPT, creating minutes of meetings in Microsoft office 2007.

As I have very less interest in programming and my programming skills are also average, I took up this job which pays me over Rs.15,000/- a month. Its been more than 1 month since I took up this job. Most of the people in my team (15) are Chartered Accountants except for my manager who is an MBA graduate and is a Mechanical Engineering degree undergraduate. Also I came to that people working at this designation as me (Analyst) are mostly 99.99% commerce graduates, just out of their colleges .

My future plan is to pursue an MBA from an international B-school, 2-3 years from now. I am not expecting to get an admit in to Harvard or London Business school but I am aiming for an globally recognized institute. I took up this job because I thought the name of Big 4 on my resume would fill up the gaps due to poor academic performance during engineering. I am planning to work here for 2 years (1 at least) & I am thinking of trying again for Business Analyst position at McKinsey after 1 year. But this feeling of me being an IT engineer working with commerce undergraduates and doing Internal Audit is not letting me focus on my daily work hence my productivity is getting hampered.

I am really CONFUSED whether or not I have taken a right decision. I am wondering what impact this decision will have when I would be applying to top 20 b-schools in UK/US/France ?? Also does working in this area as an Analyst helps you getting a job in strategy consulting firms like McKinsey & Co, BCG etc ??

Is Internal Audit/ Standard Operating Procedures/Business Process Review meant only for Chartered Accountants ??

Can anyone please give me a detail explanation for my above queries, I am worried and feeling insecure at this point of time.

Thanks in advance.

Do an outstanding job where you are. Gain as much experience as possible
and consider keeping the job and attending school at the same time. You become
more valuable to your employer and you show your stability and determination.
