Recent Job Gains in African American Community Led By Black Women, Report Says

Black women job gains in Sept. 2012

Recent Job Gains in African American Community Led By Black Women, Report Says

Take a look at news we found about growing job gains for African Americans below:

One report says black women are 'doing it for themselves' when it comes to geting back into the workforce during our struggling job market. We can report to that black women are leading the way in the new jobs created in the black community.

Read report below:
The economy added 114,000 jobs last month, on top of an upward revision of 86,000 jobs to July and August. The private sector has added jobs for 31 consecutive months, and after coming into office in the depths of the Great Recession, President Barack Obama has created more than a million jobs over his first term. For the first time since he took office, the unemployment rate is below 8 percent, hitting 7.8 percent in September.
Meanwhile, the share of African Americans with a job edged up from 52.7 percent to 53.0 percent and the unemployment rate fell to 13.4 percent, after hovering just above 14 percent for the past three months. Among adults ages 20 and over, all of the gains for African Americans were among women. Although the share of black adult women overall employed rose from 55.1 percent to 55.3 percent, the share of black adult men employed fell from 57.7 percent to 57.5 percent. Both adult men and women, however, have seen their employment rate rise over the past year 0.5 percentage points.
Rebuild Your Resume Today with IWRITE!
Last month’s decline in the unemployment rate was driven by large reported employment gains, with 873,000 people indicating that they got a job in September. This is an exceptionally large one-month gain in reported employment, and therefore we should interpret it carefully. Higher employment is consistent with data from the establishment survey, however, and while the pace of reported employment in the household survey will likely be slower in the months to come, it is clear that employment is rising.
Both men and women reported increased employment, with 67.5 percent of adult men (ages 20 and over) reporting having a job in September — up from 67.0 percent a year ago — and 55.1 percent of adult women reporting having a job — up from 55.0 percent a year ago. Employment grew most for workers with some college or more, while falling for workers with only a high school diploma.
Though the percentages don't seem very high or appear to make a big difference, we assume the amount of people getting new jobs is a good thing. Its obvious we are still a long way from making some huge strides for both male and female job seekers. Read more HERE

Black Owned Business Booming with Business Plans Backing Them Up


Black Owned Business Booming with Business Plans Backing Them Up

According to Michigan Black Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Ken Harris, African-American businesses are growing at a rate three times the national average.

Harris substantiates the reason for this tremendous growth is partly that many younger adults are choosing to turn their passions of an idea into a business that will sustain them and their families.

"And, so entrepreneurship is extremely attractive," said  Ken Harris. "That's why we have a Chamber of Commerce to really nurture and develop young entrepreneurs; to put the types of resources in place that will allow them to benefit, to build their businesses more than just a one-employee business. But, more importantly, to compete globally."
Source: WWJ

 
This proves that anyone who has an idea and is truly passionate about it can bring it to life. With a professional attitude, tenacity and a bold persona, anyone can create a lifestyle for themselves and their families by putting it into action.

In order to be noticed and be able to compete, every business owner needs to start off writing down their business goals and aspirations in a formal written structure. This written structure is none other than a business plan carefully crafted to suite your business model and goals. 

We here at IWRITE can help you create a business plan that will help guide you through your business venture step by step.

Did you know? Resume Do's and Dont's...


When it comes to preparing a resume, we often times stress over the 'process' period. It doesn't have to be that way at all! There are key factors that we must remember while preparing a resume. First thing first, KEEP IT SHORT. I have to say this again, KEEP IT SHORT. Why? The shorter it is, the better it becomes. For some reason we have it process in our minds that the longer the resume the better the impact will be. Absolutely not! And here's the reason why...

The length of the resume should only be one page. Yes, you read that correctly ONE PAGE. Why? Employers nowadays, are getting away from collecting paper. Everything is electronic including: applications, new hire paperwork, and payment selection. Collaborating is the key while preparing  a resume. Try to condensed everything in that one page that you possible can. Condensing represents being cohesive.

Get away from 'fancy' paper. For some reason many think that because they have their resume on glossy or laminated paper, that it will draw attention. Not! Did you know that 95% of the time, managers don't keep resumes? Don't put too much emphasizes on the look. keep it simple, clean, and straight to the point. You want to impress the hiring manager what's on the resume, not so much on how it looks.

If you remember these key factors, your resume will get you that job you have been waiting for!

9 Tips on How to Make an Essay Shine

 

 9 Tips on How to Make an Essay Shine

Here are nine tips on how to make an essay shine by paying attention to simple writing rules.
A good essay is not simply about content; the elements of style are equally important if a piece of writing is to receive top marks. An argument cannot be persuasive, incisive or elegant, if it is not lucid, and it will not be clear if it has not been redrafted, revised and rewritten several times over. The following reminders about writing will help produce well-rounded, and well-written essays.

Tip #1: Concise Essay Writing

In an effort to reach the required word limit, students often pad their essay with extra words mistakenly thinking that how much they write is more important that how they write. This is usually a sign that a student does not know what they want to say or are short on ideas. The result is papers that use lots of words but say nothing. A general rule is that less is more when it comes to essay writing. This does not mean that sentences should be short, but that students should make every word count

 Three tips for eliminating wordiness includes:

1) use the active voice. "Shirley loves Bob" is concise and active. The passive form is longer and less concise, "Bob is loved by Shirley."

2) Avoid phrases such as "It can be seen that," or "due to the fact that," "In this essay I will argue that." These are wordy and unnecessary. An argument , for example, should be clear without having to announce it to the reader.

3) Prune. Read each sentence and eliminate unnecessary words; "there are many women who never marry" can be shortened to "many women never marry" without changing the meaning.

Tip #2 The Art of Writing is Re-writing

Rewriting is the essence of all writing. It involves evaluating and reading each sentence from the perspective of a skeptical critic – is it clear? Is it relevant? Does it serve the argument in the best way possible? Be honest. Then re-write. And re-read. And revise. After a bout of late-night writing, re-read everything in the cold light of morning. Do not be surprised if ideas no longer seem as brilliantly conceived, or as beautifully expressed.

Tip #3 Proofreading an Essay... Read more at Campus Life Suite 101

Become a Better Writer Through Revision

 
 
Become a Better Writer Through Revision 
 
If you ever want to be successful at writing better and taking it to the next level, you will soon learn that revision makes all the difference.

Our friends at Writing Forward have some great advice for anyone including undergraduate and graduate students:

Some writers love the revision process; others think it’s a drag. Regardless of how you feel about revising your work, one thing is certain: if you want to produce better writing (and become a better writer), then revision is absolutely essential.

Revise What?

We use the terms “first draft” or “rough draft” when we are composing a piece of writing because almost every single project is going to have to go through a revision (or two, or three, four, or more). But what does that mean? How is it done? And what are the benefits?

We’ve already discussed the difference between proofreading and editing. Where does revision fit into all of that?

If you need help typing and revising your papers this coming semester, its not too late to contact us her at IWRITE. We can help you get the best grades possible from your written papers.

To revise means to change or alter. In the world of writing, revise means “to alter something already written or printed, in order to make corrections, improve, or update: to revise a manuscript.” (dictionary.com).

Generally speaking, revision involves making substantial changes to make the writing better. In fiction, this could involve changing characters’ names, realigning the plot, or re-sequencing the scenes. In other types of writing, revision might involve major structural changes (moving chapters around) or a content overhaul (adding, removing, or changing information). Sometimes, revision means rewriting a project entirely.

Entrepreneur Freedom: How To Manage Your Free Time Wisely and Successfully

 Entrepreneur Freedom: How To Manage Your Free Time Wisely and Successfully

Susan Strayer for Young Entrepreneur Council has some great information for those of us who need to manage their entrepreneur freedom. Don't take this advice lightly. To be successful at any business, even the free time you gain, needs to be used wisely for your business.

Read more to find out why and hear her story:

This isn’t my first entrepreneurial rodeo. I started my first business in the early 2000s, before I was lured back into corporate America and all its fancy resources, stability and brand names. But after five years of the so-called stability, I was ready for that freedom again—freedom to tweet, to travel and ideate. Freedom to speak as I saw fit, to work where I wanted and to manage my own time. That’s just not possible in corporate America.

I get it—there are brands and images to protect, a voice to maintain. But I’m from Philadelphia, and we’re just not quiet people.

Unfortunately, another run at entrepreneurship came with an unexpected freedom—freedom from focus. All this newfound freedom meant zero accountability to anyone but myself. Before I knew it, I was spending more time tweeting than consulting, more time having coffee than getting new business. As an entrepreneur, freedom must be managed properly and use it for true business productivity. Here are four key ways to do just that:
  1. Avoid the downtime spiral. No more commute. No more required 9 to 5. No more endless executive approval meetings. It’s amazing how your calendar opens up! But it’s also easy to fill because initially, you have the perception of having more downtime (at least until you really get the business cooking). All of that flexibility means you can visit Mom and Dad during the week, or extend that weekend by an extra day. But it also means you quickly turn well-deserved downtime into wasted time. Instead, schedule your downtime in a way that works for you...
  2. Use travel time wisely. Now that I’m not chained to a desk in a building on the other side of town, it’s easy for me to go anywhere for lunch or a meeting. Because of that, I often found myself spending more time in the car or on the subway than I did when I had a long commute to my corporate gig. I always offered to go to the person directly instead of meeting somewhere in between. Though there are cases where it’s appropriate and imperative to make that sacrifice, don’t always be the one to travel to an appointment...
  3. Be social with a purpose. As an entrepreneur, you can now use that limitless voice as loud and as often as you want. But it’s so easy to get sucked into a long Facebook conversation with a fellow entrepreneur, or join every live Twitter chat your industry has to offer. Stop. Instead, be purposeful with your time on social media...
  4. Be free from being an entrepreneur. While entrepreneurs are famous for living and breathing their businesses 24/7, there’s real value in stepping away, even if only briefly. I found that stepping away into something completely different is the best way to refocus.... Source
Susan Strayer gave some great information on managing your entrepreneur time. We can all use this knowledge to better our lives surrounding our business life.

To get focused again on what's important, if you do not have a business plan or need to create a new one for your new or existing business, you can get it done HERE at IWRITE. 

IWRITE professionals can help you turn your business ideas and goals into a winning and professional business plan.

Access Capital Sources for your New Business




 
Access Capital Sources for your New Business


The Entrepreneur Access to Capital Act is helping those with startups a way to get funds from fresh capital sources:

Right now, all sorts of nonprofit causes and entertainment projects can receive cash donations from ordinary people through crowdfunding websites such as IndieGoGo.com, KickStarter.com, and RocketHub.com. But because of securities laws intended to prevent fraud, for-profit businesses aren’t legally allowed to raise funds from large numbers of donors to finance their ventures without first registering with the Securities and Exchange Commission or complying with restrictive SEC regulations.

That’s soon to change with the Entrepreneur Access to Capital Act, designed to help startups tap sources of capital other than bank loans, venture capitalists, and angel funds. “Given the dire need for investments in startup and high-growth companies, lawmakers have been pushing to allow individuals to make $1,000 to $10,000 contributions in new or existing companies,” says Thomas “Danny” Boston, member of the Black Enterprise Board of Economists.
 The practice of crowdfunding appears to provide a reasonable way around this barrier, Boston says. However, he warns, it also could be easily abused since any would-be entrepreneurs could use crowdfunding for fraudulent undertakings.  Congress is still fiddling with the details, in part to make sure investors are well-protected. But Boston believes “to be successful, crowdfunding would need extensive transparency and regulatory controls to avoid abuse.”
 The Entrepreneur Access to Capital Act, which has bipartisan support, was approved by the House of Representatives last fall with the intent of making it less arduous, less expensive, and a lot quicker to raise seed funds and grow businesses. Startups could use crowdfunding without having to register first with the SEC to raise up to $2 million from an unlimited number of individuals who can invest up to $10,000 each. Current securities laws allow only accredited investors (such as someone with a $1 million net worth) to buy a financial stake in a business, with few exceptions. Entrepreneurs could use crowdfunding websites to post information about their businesses and offer perks such as T-shirts in exchange for financial donations. Source
While the Entrepreneur Access to Capital Act is planning to make way for funding for some deserving new businesses, new startup owners need to make sure they have a  professional business plan to present to these companies.


IWRITE can help you produce a business plan superior to the competition and in less time expected.

Start Ups Will Fund Your College Education for FREE


Start Ups Will Fund Your College Education for FREE

How can anyone pass this up? Here's a company who has connections with start up businesses that want to pay you to go to college!  This is an awesome opportunity and they can't get it off the ground and successful if people don't come in and ask for the FREE assistance.
The founders of tech start-ups behind this revolutionary idea say they have already had success with their models, but they say there needs to be more momentum if their idea is to succeed.

"The 99% should be protesting college campuses," says Sebastian Thrun, a Stanford University artificial intelligence professor, who recently co-founded Udacity, a technology start-up dedicated to providing higher education at a very low cost.

With the average cost to attend a private university on the rise, more and more people, who have the intellectual capacity to excel at that level, are unable to afford it.

Thrun is helping to lead a new surge of Silicon Valley start-ups with the quest to "democratize education" or make advanced education available to all people. 
Will you take advantage of a free education and work in the tech field? It may also be time to get that resume updated for your new or advanced degree objectives. Get resume help here.

The First Step to a Successful Business: Writing a Business Plan Says Amazon Founder

 The First Step to a Successful Business: Writing a Business Plan

The advice below comes from the Founder and CEO of Amazon, Jeff Bezos.

Jeff Bezos is an American entrepreneur who played a key role in the growth of e-commerce as the founder and chief executive officer of Amazon.com, Inc., an online merchant of books and later of a wide variety of products. Under his guidance, Amazon.com became the largest retailer on the World Wide Web and the model for Internet sales. -Wikipedia

"So, you want to start a company...Well, the first thing you do is you should write a business plan, and so I did that. I wrote about a 30-page business plan. I wrote a first draft.."

"You know the business plan won't survive its first encounters with reality. It will always be different. The reality will never be the plan, but the discipline of writing the plan forces you to think through some of the issues and to get sort of mentally comfortable in the space. Then you start to understand, if you push on this knob this will move over here and so on. So, that's the first step." -Source

Now is the time to get your business plan started. If you don't have a business plan, you will never really know exactly what you want to do; where you want to go and ultimately what your goals are for the future. A business plan can open many doors for you as well as make your business goals visually clear.

We are in the business of helping businesses start off right and get them going in the right direction.

IWRITE does business plans at an affordable rate. If you need help getting your thoughts and ideas on paper and need our expertise in writing a business plan for you, contact us now for a free consultation HERE.

Can You Launch a Start Up While on Your Day Job?


Can You Launch a Start Up While on Your Day Job?

The answer to this question is: Yes, of course you can! Now, the way in which you juggle your day job and your start up can create some challenges but it is very possible. While you may have the passion for your new business, you will need to use your self discipline and strategic skills to make it work. 

It's obvious you need to stay on your day job, so here is some advice from four entrepreneurs who were able to do it and stay in good standing with their jobs. First, let's hear from Chris Altchek of PolicyMic who says its possible. In fact, he kept his day job with Goldman Sachs before launching his business:

"Many investors will want to speak with former employers as a reference. If you've let your side project get in the way of your full-time commitments, you may be hurting your chances more than you think."
Let's hear from other entrepreneurs who have some good advice on getting your dream start up off the ground and keeping in good graces with your current employer.


Sacrifice

Whether it's your job, or whether it's your family, it is very difficult. It's all about long hours. There's the whole thing of finding more time in existing busy lives. Those who manage to do that are really successful."— Eric Lagier, founder of Memolane, a tech company that builds web activity timelines
Work through Lunch Break

"Spending time on Wikifashion allowed me to relax from my work at the treasury. I'd take my laptop into work with me and spend my lunch breaks at the local cafe working on pages, emailing brands and helping out new contributors." —Madeline Veenstra, co-founder of Wikifashion, an online hub where users and brands can share fashion industry information

TIP: Don't forget to begin with a professional business plan for your start up.
Invest

"This is something that comes from my own mistakes: don't leverage your income from your day job to do unnatural things early on in the life of your part-time startup ... Constrain yourself financially so you can focus on getting as much done without wasting your valuable resources. Save that money instead so you can put it to good use when you actually are financially constrained." —Willis Jackson, founder of ShownHome, a developer of software for real estate professionals
Respect current employer

"Don't slack at your day job because you're pursuing another passion. Your current employer, and what he or she thinks of you, matters. Many successful entrepreneurs go to their ex-bosses for seed capital. Many investors will want to speak with former employers as a reference. If you've let your side project get in the way of your full-time commitments, you may be hurting your chances more than you think." — Chris Altchek, co-founder of PolicyMic, an online political news source aimed at user engagement
