Boost Credibility with Good Credentials
Filed Under Business | Leave a Comment
There is a reason that people go to school to get advanced degrees. It is not only to get an education. It is also to get those little letters that go after their names on business cards. You may think that this doesn’t count for much but it can make the difference between a good job and a great one.
You do not necessarily have to get an advanced college degree to boost your own credibility in the business world. However you do need to look out for opportunities through which you can add some credentials to your own job title. Take advantage of any chance that you have to add some letters to your own name.
For example, let’s say that you want people to recognize that you are a green business person. You could get basic leed training. Alternatively you could work a little bit harder to become a leed green associate. This name sounds a lot fancier on paper and it gives you more credibility with your clients.
A lot is in a name. Even little letters and degrees make a big difference. You may or may not like that this is the way things are but you can’t deny that it’s the way it is. Play the game by getting the credentials that will move you along in the business world.

Survey Says
Filed Under Business | Leave a Comment
I work for a city manager’s office. It is the city manager’s job to make sure that city government runs like a well oiled machine. But one of the things that are also important is that the citizens in the city feel as if their government is doing a good job. And what better way to find out how people feel than by asking them? So that is what we set out to do. We took a survey and it was no small undertaking.
We didn’t want a small representative sample. We wanted to go big. Since we are on the top of the food chain here in city hall, we had the perfect resource. We used our utility billing system. Every household that gets a water bill got a survey. And the response was terrific.
We knew going into this that we would not be able to hand tally the results. We knew that we would need special equipment for this. But that kind of scanning equipment is expensive. So we actually did a scanner rental. So as the surveys came in we would just feed them into this scanner that looked a bit like a copy machine. And when all was said and done, it appears that overall the citizens are very happy with the city services that they are receiving.
