*Benefits Becoming Crucial in Recruiting Contingent Staffers*
Many staffing firms are offering health insurance as well as an array of
benefits because these are great ways to attract and retain workers.
*By Julie McCoy*
------------------------------

*Ask temporary workers what they want these days, and one thing they'll say
is important is to be provided with benefits*.

In this tough economic climate, many are coming to staffing agencies
having lost their regular full-time jobs and their health insurance. If they
happen to be single or can't get on their spouse's insurance, they want to
work for a staffing firm that not only provides medical coverage but also
makes it affordable—or at least more affordable than expensive COBRA
premiums.

Many staffing firms are indeed offering health insurance as well as an
array of benefits because they recognize that it is a great recruiting tool.
It's also a way to attract and retain workers.

Adecco partners with UnitedHealthcare to offer three to five different
medical plans from which workers can choose, depending on which line of
business they happen to be working in, says Adam Entenberg, benefits
director. Those who work for Adecco General Staffing have a different set of
plans from which to choose than those who work for Adecco Technical.

"We're moving toward consolidating it [and offering a similar program
for everyone]," Entenberg says. "We're trying to standardize wherever
possible."

Additionally, workers can enroll in dental and vision plans and
short-term disability insurance, which are offered through UnitedHealthcare,
Entenberg says. Adecco also offers life insurance and accidental death and
dismemberment insurance through UnitedHealthcare.

Workers who want to save money for retirement while they're with Adecco
can enroll in a 401(k) program through Wells Fargo. Another benefit Adecco
offers is tuition reimbursement for workers who want to go back to school to
learn new skills.

Early this year, Adecco began providing legal insurance through
Transamerica. Workers who are closing on a house or want to have a will
prepared can pay a premium to have access to a lawyer. Consultation with a
lawyer is free, and for those who are preparing a will, the will is free as
well.

Another service Adecco began offering this year is group accident
insurance through Allstate, which pays workers if they are in a car
accident. Adecco also offers critical illness insurance through Allstate.

Someone who is diagnosed with a heart attack or stroke, or undergoes
bypass surgery, for example, can be paid benefits. Entenberg estimates that
just less than 10 percent of workers are taking advantage of at least one
benefit that Adecco offers.

At Manpower, workers can take advantage of various medical plan options
through a national insurance provider, according to Mike Steinmetz, vice
president and general manager of the company's Midwest division. Those who
sign up for the insurance have access to a nurse line and an employee
assistance line.

Additionally, Manpower offers vacation and holiday pay, a dental plan,
life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment insurance, and a 401(k)
plan. Workers are eligible to receive benefits within one week of receiving
their first paycheck.

"We believe it's an advantage for both our associates and clients,"
Steinmetz says. "We believe it's a differentiator in the recruitment
process, from competitors who don't offer benefits or whose benefits aren't
as robust. We're committed to providing valuable benefits options that our
employees need and that assist us in attracting and retaining strong
candidates for our clients."

Express Employment Professionals provides medical, dental, vision,
short-term disability and life insurance, also through a national provider,
says Sam Fox, director of compensation benefits. Workers are eligible to
sign up for the benefits immediately.

Fox estimates that about one-third of workers are taking advantage of
them.

Workers also receive six paid holidays (after they have worked 500
hours) and paid vacations. They get two days of paid vacation after 1,000
hours, three days after 1,500 hours and five days after 2,000 hours.
Employees can also enroll in a 401(k) plan, which doesn't have a waiting
period, according to Fox.

"We certainly do find it is helpful in recruiting and retention to offer
benefits," he says. "We have found that offering benefits [is] pretty
doggone important to our clients too. So, our experience has been that
offering benefits has been important with two very important groups: our
employees and our client companies."

Spherion offers medical and vision insurance through Aetna, according to
Loretta Penn, the company's senior vice president and president of staffing
services. Additionally, workers can enroll in a life insurance policy and a
stock purchase plan.

Also, Spherion offers service and retention bonuses, both of which are
client-specific, Penn says. The service bonus is paid annually and is the
equivalent of about a week's worth of pay. About a third of workers qualify
for the service and retention bonuses.

"It's a unique time in the economy," Penn says. "You have individuals
who have been laid off, downsized. For those [who] fall into that category,
they are looking for a company that will offer them a job and then, even
better, a company that offers benefits."

She adds: "[Offering benefits is] not only a great attraction tool but
[also] it is certainly a great retention tool. It certainly represents both
of those. Our goal is to make Spherion an employer of choice."

Labor Finders provides a limited medical plan that is offered by
Strategic Resource Co., which is part of Aetna, according to Jonathan
Klorfein, director of client services.

"We basically did it because we value our workers," he says. "We created
this program to ensure their well-being and health—give them an option."

The broker of the plan, McGriff Seibels and Williams, customized the
program to meet Labor Finders' needs, Klorfein says. Employees pay $20 a
week for $5,000 worth of coverage for themselves, or about $60 a week for
$10,000 worth of coverage for not only themselves but also their families.
In some cases, clients have paid the cost, Klorfein says. Workers only have
to work one day a week for the coverage to be in effect.

At SOS Staffing, workers can enroll in a health care plan called the
American Worker Plan, according to Lynn Richardson, vice president of human
resources. It's "not a full-blown medical plan but provides front-end
coverage," Richardson says.

There are different levels of the plan that are different prices. The
plan includes not only medical but also dental and vision coverage, no
matter which level workers choose.

Additionally, workers can enroll in SOS' 401(k) program. They also are
eligible for a week's worth of paid time off once they have worked a
specific number of hours, which varies by region.

Yet, despite the fact that SOS offers these benefits, Richardson
estimates that 10 percent or less of workers are actually taking advantage
of them.

A lot of SOS' clients ask if the company offers benefits because they
want to know SOS has some way of retaining workers and making them happy,
Richardson points out. And if workers are weighing the options of going to
work for SOS or another staffing firm that doesn't offer benefits, "we're
going to win that game," Richardson says.

QPS offers a mini-medical plan, says Dan McNulty, executive vice
president and COO.

"They like it," he says. "It's competitively priced. It's affordable for
sure. People find it really attractive."

Employee Chris Darge—who didn't have health insurance for himself or his
two children—is thankful he can get it through QPS.

"Just the fact that they offered that was a huge plus," he says.

In addition to medical benefits, QPS offers holiday bonuses that are
distributed five times a year, and year-end bonuses that are paid out the
week before Christmas, McNulty says.

"We don't wait for our year to end and pay it in January," he says.
McNulty estimates the company spends $25,000 a year on year-end bonuses.

The Nelson Family of Companies offers medical insurance through three
providers, including Blue Cross/Blue Shield and Kaiser, according to Debbie
Beardslee, senior staffing supervisor.

"Many of the candidates we work with are in a position where they could
not do it on their own," she says. "I think that makes us more attractive as
a staffing partner."

Workers also receive holiday pay and bonus checks after 1,200 hours. The
bonus checks are the equivalent of 30 hours of work, Beardslee says.

Akraya, an IT staffing firm, provides contract workers with medical and
vision insurance through Kaiser Permanente and dental insurance through
Premier Access, says vice president Narayanan Duraiswami.

Contract workers can also enroll in Akraya's cafeteria plan, which is
designed to save them 25 to 40 percent in taxes (depending on their income
tax bracket) on out-of-pocket medical, dental, vision and day-care expenses.
They're eligible to participate in the cafeteria plan from the first day of
their employment with Akraya.

Additionally, contract workers are eligible to enroll in Akraya's 401(k)
program after they have been with the company for a year. Each year Akraya
matches their 401(k) contributions on a discretionary basis. In 2008, Akraya
matched 25 percent of the first 6 percent of employee deferral. Duraiswami
estimates 75 percent of contractors take advantage of the benefits the
company offers.

Workway CEO Matt Johnston says the fact that his company offers a global
cash card has been beneficial in its recruiting efforts. If Workway didn't
provide the cash card, it wouldn't be able to pay people who want or need to
be paid on a daily basis, he points out.

"It allows us to pay daily without stretching our resources," Johnston
says. "That's the one thing we can prove we get most of our candidates
from."

Workway also provides referral bonuses to those who refer someone to
Workway after that person has worked a specific amount of time.

"We're constantly looking for more referrals," Johnston says. "That's
where you find the majority of good people."

While large and medium-sized staffing companies are more likely to offer
benefits, many small staffing firms offer them as well. Small staffing
companies that don't offer benefits at all are missing out on an opportunity
to compete with larger firms.

For small staffing companies that are reluctant to offer benefits
because of the cost and time involved, outsourcing benefits to a
professional employer organization would be one way to even the playing
field with larger firms and to be distinguished in a positive way from other
small firms.

Bloomington, Minnesota-based Award Staffing provides three medical
benefits options through Essential StaffCARE, president Tom Thissen says.

Workers can choose from plans that cover just themselves, or themselves
and their families. Award Staffing also offers dental coverage, vacation and
holiday pay, life insurance, and short-term and long-term disability
insurance.

Thissen says he has had clients tell him the benefits Award Staffing
offers are better than the benefits they offer their own employees.

"It helps with not only attracting the right talent but also retaining
the right talent. Health insurance is one of the hot items with employees
right now, and this way they're able to have that with us," he says.

Reliable Staffing Services works with Essential StaffCARE to offer Mini
Medical, which provides coverage up to $5,000, according to CEO Larry Kidd.

In addition to medical coverage, workers can add on vision and dental
insurance through Mini Medical. There aren't any restrictions on getting
into the program. For example, workers don't have to be employed a certain
amount of time to be eligible.

"We certainly advertise it," Kidd says. "I think it does make some
difference. I'm not sure if people are coming in because of the benefits or
the economy."

The Accuro Group offers medical and vision insurance through a national
paid-provider-organization provider, and dental insurance through another
national provider, says president Jennifer Dunleavy. Accuro also offers life
insurance administered through an outside agent.

"It has allowed us to build a recruitment and retention model. It's
really our responsibility to provide a level of support where they can
support their families and be able to have a career," Dunleavy says.

If your firm isn't providing benefits, maybe now is the time to start.
It's a good way to attract new temporary workers and keep existing ones.
Plus, it can help ensure that your organization remains competitive with all
the other staffing companies that provide benefits.

Meeting
To: tcn@paneverde.com

.
In times like these, business ownership has become quite an appealing career
option for entrepreneurs, investors, and career transitioners. The lure of
independence, financial freedom, and heightened self-purpose has drawn the
interest of many, particularly as the traditional job market recovery
remains in question.

TCN's next meeting will feature a talk by special guest Frank Dunne,
presenting:

"Career Alternatives in Business Ownership Through Franchising"

The franchise industry is projected to experience modest growth in 2010, and
continues to attract new and exciting concepts. In this workshop,
individuals will learn about key considerations underlying business
ownership, franchising opportunities, and whether they can be leveraged to
help attain ones goals.

Monday, March 22nd, 7:00 - 9:00 PM
Barnert Temple, 747 Route 208 South, Franklin Lakes, NJ*

Directions to Barnert Temple:
http://barnerttemple.org/about_us/about_us.php3?page=249<http://www.linkedin.com/redirect?url=http%3A%2F%2Fbarnerttemple%2Eorg%2Fabout_us%2Fabout_us%2Ephp3%3Fpage%3D249&urlhash=pyAn>

Frank Dunne helps entrepreneurs, investors, and those in career transition
explore franchise opportunities. He provides counsel on the benefits, costs,
and risks of franchising, as well as helping to navigate the maze of
franchise concepts. Utilizing cutting-edge profiling, and 1:1 consultative
processes, he helps match leading franchises that best fit each client's
goals, skills, and interests. Qualified clients receive coaching services at
no cost, as all funding is provided by franchisors.

We look forward to seeing you at Barnert Temple on Monday, March 22nd for

*Job search requires change in tactics*
By David Migoya
The Denver Post
Posted: 02/03/2010 01:00:00 AM MST
Updated: 02/03/2010 06:13:40 AM MST

Many of today's unemployed are staying that way longer because they're
competing for jobs with yesterday's job-search skills and techniques, career
experts say.

The economic collapse that has officially left 10 percent of the nation
unemployed has turned into a buyer's market as companies begin to hire back
the workforce. That means tighter resume screenings and more stringent
interviews are the norm.

But more and more Americans remain unemployed — and millions more simply
give up looking — because they have not adapted to the tougher job market,
career coaches say.
"Companies are indeed hiring, but the burden is now on the candidates," said
Vicki Brackett, founder and president of Make It Happen Consulting, a Denver
firm that does job-search makeovers.

"Many phones are not ringing because people are simply looking in the wrong
place," she said. "What worked before isn't working now."

Before, on average, women remained unemployed for three to five months, said
Brackett, who also owns Make It Happen for Women.

"Now they've been there for a year, men included," she said. "And 80 percent
of the men are unemployed for more than a year, even those with terrific
backgrounds and some of them finalists for six or eight jobs."

And the reason isn't money. The successful candidate is the one who builds
value, with a strategy on the hiring company. Fewer than 10 percent of all
jobs are gotten via job boards, yet better than 80 percent of job seekers
focus their efforts there, studies show.

"And fewer than 2 percent of professional jobs come from there," Brackett
said.
Job seekers need to make adjustments — sometimes serious changes — to their
search approach because companies, though still hiring, are scrutinizing
more and being more selective.

"What we're finding is that companies and organizations may have laid off
500 or 1,000 people, (and) they're not going to hire 500 or 1,000 back.
They'll hire 200 or 300," Kevin Kelly, chief executive of Heidrick &
Struggles, one of the largest recruiting firms, told The Associated Press
recently.

Many top-shelf candidates are simply unaccustomed to selling themselves,
Brackett said, because they've dealt only with recruiters and career
networking.

"People are doing job searches backward, putting resumes together, then
sending them out," Brackett said.

The key is in personal marketing, selling yourself to a specific job with a
specific set of criteria. And the three areas to focus on are *making the
company money, saving it money and minimizing its risks.*

"Most resumes don't speak to this," Brackett said. "They're too busy writing
down job descriptions instead of what makes you right and the best
candidate. Everyone looks the same on paper and says the same things in
interviews. They know the details of a company but not the strategy to help
them."

David Migoya: 303-954-1506 or dmigoya@denverpost.com

Work on a new strategy
Success in today's job market requires more ingenuity than merely a resume
and good interviewing skills. Hints from the experts:

Companies are indeed hiring, but the burden is now on the candidates."
• Practice selling yourself.
• Customize your resume to a specific job and company.
• Present a strategy on how you can help a company make money, save money
and cut risk.
• Go beyond job boards by using social and business networking.

19.: GENERAL: Does Your Resume Date You

Posted by: "john sampson" jcsspike@yahoo.com jcsspike

Fri Mar 12, 2010 3:21 pm (PST)

Does Your Resume Show Your Age?
Filed under: Resumes Print Article
Posted Mar 10th 2010 6:19AM

By Barbara Safani
Once a year I go through my closet and get rid of the clothing that no longer fits me or is out of style. It's not an easy thing to do because I become attached to certain favorites and old reliables, but I know they're no longer relevant to the way I want to look so I let go and give them away.

Updating your resumé often requires the same "letting go" process. It can be difficult to delete even the oldest, most entry level job from your resume. After all, it's part of your story, a brick in the road that got you where you are today. But too much information makes it harder for hiring managers to focus in on the experience they're interested in, and like a skirt or necktie from a bygone era, obsolete job histories can make you look unnecessarily dated.

Here are six signs your resume is due for a makeover:

Your resume leads with an objective. These openers communicate what you are looking for, but a hiring manager wants to know what's in it for him. Do you have the skills and experience to help solve the company's business problems? Replace your "objective" with a summary outlining your big picture accomplishments and the value you can bring to an employer.

Your contact information includes your fax number. Nothing screams the 80s like a fax number. Chances are no employer will need to contact you by fax. Use that space to include the URL for your LinkedIn page or blog.

Your dates of employment are all left justified. Having dates of employment to the left made sense in the days of the typewriter, when tabs were the only way to indent content. With Microsoft Word, text is much more malleable and you can make better use of your page space. Place employment dates after the company name save room for more important content, like all your accomplishments.

The font on your resume is Courier 10. Courier 10 was all there was when all documents were created on typewriters. Now we have scores of choices. Pick something else.

Your resume contains several personal attributes to describe you. If you are using adjectives such as loyal, detail-oriented, good communicator, or hard-working to describe yourself, please stop. These personal attributes are meaningless without tangible proof of them throughout your resume. The new rule is, don't tell me; show me. To do otherwise will suggest that you put your resume together during Clinton's first administration.

Your resume states that references are available upon request. Well, who needs them? Hiring managers routinely check out candidates via Internet searches before they call them in for an interview. So your references are available online whether you want them to be or not. Ditch the statement about references and make sure your name "Googles" well.

MIS Ntwk Assoc Mtg Dates:
Mar 16th - Tues - No Mtg - PMI Dinner Mtg - Basking Ridge
Mar 23rd - Tues - Bring 20 copies of your resume - 6 pm - Carnevale Center 10 Lenox Ave Pompton Lakes 07442 Rm 9 - plan to have dinner with us afterwards

About Amicus Therapeutics:
Amicus Therapeutics is a late-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the
discovery, development and commercialization of novel small molecule,
orally-administered drugs known as pharmacological chaperones, for the
treatment of a range of human genetic diseases and diseases of
neurodegeneration.
Amicus is committed to developing its pharmacological chaperone technology
and has built a robust clinical and preclinical pipeline of small molecule,
orally-administered agents.
As part of Amicus' strategic business plan, the Company is focused in three
key areas:
The Phase 3 development of its lead program, AT1001 for the treatment of
Fabry disease;
Advancement of pharmacological chaperones used in combination with enzyme
replacement therapies (ERT) for the treatment of lysosomal storage diseases;
and
Advancement of its lead pre-clinical programs that utilize its
pharmacological chaperone technology for the treatment of diseases of
neurodegeneration.
Amicus is in Phase 3 clinical development with its flagship product
candidate, AT1001 for the treatment of Fabry disease. In the second quarter
of 2009, Amicus announced that the Company reached agreement with the FDA on
the key protocol design elements of its pivotal trial, including the use of
the surrogate primary endpoint of the change in the amount of kidney
interstitial capillary GL-3, the substrate that accumulates in the cells of
Fabry patients. In addition, the FDA is in agreement that the Company is
eligible to seek Accelerated Approval for AT1001 according to Subpart H
regulations. Amicus began submitting the Phase 3 protocol to investigational
sites worldwide in June 2009 and patient enrollment and dosing are now
underway. The Company expects to report top-line data from this trial in
the second half of 2011.
The advancement of the use of pharmacological chaperones in combination with
enzyme replacement therapies for the treatment of lysosomal storage diseases
and potentially more broadly with other recombinant protein therapies
remains a priority for the Company. Amicus is building an increasingly
strong body of preclinical evidence and will continue to evaluate options
for taking those programs forward with the combination approaches and the
potential to move from pre-clinical to clinical proof of concept.
Amicus has an advanced pre-clinical program utilizing its pharmacological
chaperone technology for the treatment of Parkinson's disease with unique
molecules, a unique target and what has the potential to be a very ground
breaking approach to treating this devastating disease.
Amicus has broad, issued intellectual property around the methods, use, and
composition of pharmacological chaperones to treat genetic diseases and
diseases of neurodegeneration. In addition to the currently issued patents,
Amicus has several patent applications pending.
Since its inception in 2002, Amicus has assembled a world-class leadership
team with proven expertise in drug discovery, development and
commercialization. The Company completed an Initial Public Offering in May
2007 and trades on the NASDAQ National Market under the Ticker Symbol:
FOLD. Amicus' headquarters is located in Cranbury, NJ and has a research
facility in San Diego, CA.
