When my neighbor sold half of his nurse-placement business to Grace & Co. for $25 million. It was a business that he and his wife and another couple put together on their own and grew pretty much on the basis of instant demand.

A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, Taipan reports, projects that by 2020, the nationwide registered-nurse work force will be nearly 20% below anticipated requirements. The cur- rent nurse pool is getting older and retiring, while the baby boomers are fast moving toward the age at which they will need nurses. At the same time, enrollment in nursing-education programs in America is decreasing.

This spells opportunity for someone who can find a fresh supply of nurs- es. I’m thinking Third World. There’s got to be a way to meet this rising demand.

2. Internet-expert employment agency

Some of the fastest fortunes of the past 50 years have gone to people who have developed specialized employment agencies. Like the couple I just told you abut who were partners in a placement agency for nurses that was sold for $50 million (after less than five years). Similar stories exist in the marketing business, the sciences, the computer industry, and even in the field of entertainment.

The Internet industry is in its infancy — but the demand for talented peo- ple is already skyrocketing. This business takes very little start-up capi- tal. Just a lot of energy and the willingness to make many, many phone calls.

3. Internet job-referral service

There are literally thousands of Internet job-placement services on the Web. Maybe tens of thousands. One new twist involves reward systems.

Recommend someone for a job and if/when the deal is made, you get paid. This has long been a policy among large companies, but now it’s a fledg- ling Internet industry.

One such upstart is Refer.com. On this site, companies post job openings free of charge, offering compensation of at least $1,000 (through Refer.com) to anyone who helps them fill an empty position and paying a matching fee to Refer.com. Individuals sign on as members, peruse the listings, and refer friends and colleagues who look like good fits. Members who apply for jobs themselves get the referral reward in the form of a signing bonus.

4. Auto-purchase consulting

This is a very easy business. You get a call. You spend 15 minutes on the Internet. You send out a report. And, you collect $50 to $500.

All the information you need is available on the Internet. Prices. Costs. Technical specifications. Do some local advertising. Pass out a lot of cards. Award referral bonuses and your business will grow.

5. Yacht-cleaning service

Yacht cleaning works like auto cleaning and detailing, but you can charge a lot more money — and the perks are unbelievable! All you need is some basic cleaning supplies, a book on how to maintain boats, and a list of good local trades people. You will enjoy working in beauti- ful surroundings and get to meet some very wealthy people.

Be nice, smile a lot, and sooner or later, you will become best buddies with a Donald Trump or a Jack Nicholson.

6. Local computer service

Why aren’t there any local businesses that can take care of any problem you might have on a computer? Hardware. Software. Internet. Whatever. Techies are becoming easy to hire. You could pay them $15 each per hour and charge (at least) $60. This is a good opportunity if you would like to build a nice, clean service business.

Suggestion: Hire someone smart over someone with a lot of specific infor- mation. A smart guy will always be able to find out how to get an answer he doesn’t have. A highly informed person will sometimes be stymied by problems he doesn’t know the solution to.

7. Broker for car billboards

People get paid $200 to $400 a month to put vinyl ads on their cars. The amount they earn for being a mobile billboard depends on how much driv- ing they do. The business opportunity is to broker the ads. One compa- ny reported in the Highlander Club newsletter has 200 ad cars driving around with another 2,000 on the waiting list.

Solution: a temporary service that employs specialists who want to work on limited duration projects in their areas of expertise.

Say you’re a VP of marketing and you want to try a new promotion but you can’t get your marketing people to talk to you. You call the agency and explain the project. The agency posts your description on its website, which is read by thousands of qualified people looking for part-time, tem- porary work.

Everybody is a winner. And you have a growing business.

9. Rent-a-tank

Buy an old tank. Figure out how to make it street-legal. Rent it out as a novel birthday gift for aging baby boomers.

If this works, think of something else you can rent out — something equally weird. Pretty soon, you’ll have a business.

10. Dog-sitting theme park

Instead of being cooped up in a cage for days on end, dogs are treated to fun and freedom in a wonderland of doggie delights, including a large, open, play area where they can frolic with other captive canines; an obsta- cle course for fitness training; a grooming center; a training facility; and more.

Troublesome dogs are segregated and given “special attention.” Bathing, grooming, housebreaking, and other services are provided at extra cost.

Aging yuppies who feel guilty about putting Fido in a cage while they sip Cabernet in Napa Valley are going bonkers over these guiltless dog jails where so much more is provided at very competitive rates.

The secret to the program is that it ends up costing less than a convention- al facility to house the dogs in groups — yet, because of the seeming ben- efits of all that freedom and mobility, you can actually charge a little more.

The typical rate for overnight lodging is $20 plus extras; half that for a daytime stay. If you can get 100 dogs at an average of $15 a day each, you’ll have revenues of $45,000 a month. Rent on an 8,000-square-foot facility might be $4,000. Three full-time employees might set you back another $7,000 or $8,000. Food, insurance, utilities, and extras would come to maybe $5,000. And advertising — that’s always the big “if.”

Ultimately, it’s a real-estate play (as so many retail businesses are). If you can get a good location — preferably near a major highway or airport — at a good price (think warehouse-space pricing), it’s just a matter of mak- ing your warehouse look like doggie heaven with cheap props and cement floors and some good hoses. Sublet the pet shop, bathing, and grooming services. Keep an attendant working 24 hours a day to keep the mutts from killing one another. That’s it. (I say this with the confidence of an outsider.)

11. Making money from teenyboppers

The size of the U.S. teenage market has doubled in the last 10 years (according to Michael Wood of  Teenage Research Unlimited). The cur-rent market is approximately $150 billion big. And it’s getting bigger. Ten years from now, there will be 35 million American teens.

What I like about the teen market is that they are naturally rebellious. This means they favor what is new and have an aversion to name brands. Good news for the entrepreneur.

If you think you might want to get in on this market, you’ll be interested

to know that teens spend a third of their income on clothing, about 20% on entertainment, and 15% on food.

12. Catering to the echo boomers: the new market There are about 32 million people aged 12 to 19 in the United States alone. This is about 11% of the population. They are the children of the baby boomers. As our children, they are perhaps a bit easier to understand than earlier teenagers were. That’s because they’ve been forced to learn our culture as they were developing one of their own. Always self-cen- tered, we baby boomers have seen to it that our children are as fluent about Simon and Garfunkle as they are about Nine Inch Nails. And that presents a business opportunity for anyone interested in catering to that market.

Get in now — and as they age and start making money, you’ll do better and better. Maybe you can fund your own kid’s emerging entrepreneurial interests.

• One-inch binder with six dividers: We will call this your Job Search Binder
• Portable file box with file folders or an electronic online file system such as box.net: We are a mobile society. Make sure your job search can travel with you to your local coffee shop or net- working event.
• Medium to large size white board with markers: This is great for keeping track of opportunities in the funnel.
• Small note pad or pda that can fit into a breast pocket or purse: Invaluable when you get an unexpected job tip.
• Business card holder that can fit into a suit pocket: This gives you the appearance of a true professional.
• Work area with phone and computer access: You must learn to treat your job search like a job. If you don’t have an in-home office, create a space that is set aside specifically for your job search, shielded from any distractions.
• Business card organizer: During the job search process, you will likely collect a large number of business cards. Keeping them organized will be challenging. Don’t let an opportunity slip by because you lost someone’s card.
• Personal email address that is independent of your Internet carrier or your business email: Good ideas can include a Yahoo or Gmail address.
• Personal business cards, thank you cards, and return address stickers: A great way to brand yourself and be remembered.

Along with job openings, many company sites also offer other job search tools such as the ability to submit a résumé for future consideration, create career profiles, search by geography, etc. If you do find a posting for an open position and you would like to know how to post resume online, your first step should be to contact people from you networking list to see if anybody you know is employed by this company or knows someone employed by this company. If you use LinkedIn, you conduct a simple search of people in and out of your network who work for companies you are interested in.

Once you’ve located a company contact, explain that you are interest- ed in a certain position posted on the company’s site and ask if they wouldn’t mind giving your résumé to the HR Department or better yet to the actual person who will be doing the hiring. You may want to give them a short introduction about yourself and your work history and then say something like, “I know that there is an opening for a__________. Would you mind passing my résumé on to ________who will be doing the hiring for this position?” Just to cover all your bases, you might also want to submit your résumé online.

Make sure you follow up with a thank you to your company contact and offer to stay in touch. By taking this type of approach, you will effectually have bypassed the dreaded computer scanner, HR gatekeeper, and maybe a few other HR staff members assigned to weed through the gazillions of résumés. Yes, it will require a little extra effort on your part but it can pay dividends when they consider whom to bring in for interviews.

Remember: When submitting your résumé on company sites, first try to find a contact or advocate on the inside and second make sure your résumé contains the same keywords that are used in the company job description. Résumés submitted online are often scanned for these keywords and documents not containing such keywords may never see human eyes.

Online jobs such as copying and pasting, data entry, content writing, pay per click programs, article writing can collect a lot of money if you are successful in finding jobs legitimate online. Online jobs can be done by working only four hours a day from the comfort of your home. To make this work, all you need is a PC or laptop with Internet connection and software packages necessary to do the job that mostly provided by employers.

How do you accomplish this? Simply, have the job find you! Begin thinking like a hiring manager or search consultant, and make yourself easy to find. Most successful and talented people are so completely focused on their jobs that they seldom take time to market themselves the way they should. After all, why bother? They’re happy, challenged, and extremely busy, so another opportunity is the farthest thing from their minds. But while their work ethic may be admirable, their lack of personal marketing skills is not. Marketing “Me, Incorporated” is a continuous process and you should be constantly aware of opportunities that lead you closer to your long-term career/life goals.

When opportunity knocks, listen! You always want to be in the position of knowing about other opportunities, whether you have an immediate interest in them or not. It keeps you abreast of the marketplace, broadens your network, and is helpful as a measure of how your own career is progressing. So, how do you put yourself in a position to hear about opportunities? Raise your profile! How do you get discovered by search consultants and hiring managers? Raise your profile!.

Is your Rolodex looking a little thin? If so, you may want to increase your participation in professional associations and attendance at professional conferences and seminars. This can be an excellent way to meet new contacts, make lasting friendships, and stay on the forefront of your field. Search consultants know how important professional associations are and use their membership rosters extensively to identify the industry’s best. Active involvement in these associations, especially in a leadership position on the board, ensures that you’ll be among the first to know about the very best opportunities in your field. Benevolent associations can be another good way to network. City and country clubs, women’s organizations, and community groups also offer opportunities to raise your profile and make contact with key decision-makers. Don’t underestimate the benefit of well-timed notes to fellow members.

Stay in touch with friends and business associates on a regular basis. Keith Nave puts it this way, “Success in networking stems not from whom you know, but from who knows you!” You just never know where that once-in-a-lifetime opportunity will come from. According to a recent study by Drake Beam Morin, networking is responsible for 61 percent of new hires. So, it would be hard to overstate its importance in your long-term career strategy.

Like a young lady and a young man. Think about some things you are really good at and look for something relevant to that. Be confident, sell yourself and always ask questions.
Go (no call or e-mail, which is lazy) to the company or organization of the categories of work and request an application – whether the contract at that time or not. When you pick up the application, ask the person who gives it to you what your name is. Introduce yourself and thank them. Make a goal to collect 5 applications every weekend (which is 20 applications in one month!).

Make a copy of each application to collect. In this way, if you make a mistake while filling out the application (an error that the target output can not fix), will have a new application without having to make an embarrassing trip back to business X to another application.
Return the application within 48 hours of pickup. If you leave the application with someone other than the person who gave it to you, just explain that it was given to the application and ask for the name of the person taking your application. Again, introduce yourself and thank you for your time.Ask if they accept calls or emails from applicants who want to know how the pursuit of employee leaves and is called the supervisor and contact information if they do.

PS Make sure you are dressed business casual (ask mom or dad what that means) when you pick up an application. If the administrator is put into the room while you’re there, you’ll make a great first impression – especially if the manager is the application delivery. If a prospective coworker gives an application, we can mention the supervisor / manager. You do not want to be labeled as sleazy Juvi requested an application!

Have a sufficient wardrobe for at least three rounds interviews with the same company. Do not use the same suit or dress more than once. If you are doing a lot of things, see, you may even want to take note of what had each time to avoid a repetition of a view clothing. Personal hygiene is also very important. First impressions really do make a difference, and most companies put a lot of emphasis on appearance.
Depending on the industry, here are some suggestions:

-Your hair should be carefully carved.

- Men must be carefully shaved.

- The makeup should be light and suitable for the adjustment.

- jewelry should be tasteful and conservative.

- Cologne or perfume should be very light or nonexistent.

- Nails, both men and women, must be clean and well presented, or care.

It may sound exaggerated, but the whole company subsequent discussion focused on the pending interview of a candidate rather than their qualifications. Another company ruled out candidates on the basis of the shoes were not suitable for sea- child. Is it right? No. Does it matter? No. Does that matter? Yes, all time! Want to make a professional impression so the focus will be on their credentials, not to the preparation or cabinet.

Note that I referred to the objectives and career goals and collective life, instead of setting goals and career goals and life goals separately. This is because, for most of us the two are difficult if not impossible, to separate. The concept of management by setting targets is not new. Peter F. Drucker crystallized the idea in practice of Management (HarperBusiness, 1993). Since then, Douglas McGregor, Likert Rensis, and several other known behaviorists have also written extensively about setting goals. But perhaps Dr. George Ordiorne, considered the father of Management by Objectives (MBO), is best known for his work in this area.

The establishment of long-term career and life goals is the basis on which to measure the suitability of a particular career opportunity when presented to you. Another important benefit of the management of their race goals or objectives is “self image psychology” as described in the book by Dr. Maxwell Maltz, Psycho-Cybernetics (1987). According to their research, the mind and nervous system are combined to form a “meta-servo effort.” Maltz believes that once formed a mental image of a desired goal, the mind and body will automatically do the necessary to achieve that goal. More importantly, he found that too will be happier when you have a clear understanding of your goal and see yourself moving towards it. Through the establishment of a career / life goals, is much more likely to take the actions necessary to achieve its long-term goals.
Determine where you want to be at a certain time in the future, and set specific targets to help you reach your tar-get. If not, is more likely to commit an error in the selection of works introspection, less likely to be happy at work, and is almost certain to find your career path leading in the wrong direction. If you are working with a business management career, you probably already have access to a series of self-assessment tools.
If not, are as close as your nearest library, bookstore, or a personal computer. Use them as much as possible. When it comes to his career, an old axiom that really comes home, “Those who fail to plan is planning to fail.”
