How to spend your time more productively
Its not the end of the world it just looks like it! Snow and Ice seems to have kept a lot of us at home yesterday and today but that doesnt mean that the world stops. Thanks to the internet and e-mail its still possible to keep in contact and to assess whats happening in your career.
Although it may be irritating that you have work to do at your desk and cant make it in to be physically present, it can sometimes be benificial from a number of perspectives being at home when you are snowed in.
Primarily from a safety perpective there is little benifit to you or your employer if you attempt to come to work only to end up coming to harm as a result of being stuck in a snowdrift for the majority of the day or being stressed to the point of a nervous break down as you slip and slide your way to work as usual or worse still; find yourself stuck behind an articulated truck which appears to be sliding unstopably towards you and your equally immobile car.
If you are at home and have as most people do these days, a home office, it may be possible to do quiet a lot of work contacting clients, drafting documents or reviewing plans that are sometimes difficult to achieve at work due to interuptions or staff meetings. When the weather clears it may then be possible to return to work with a clear mind and a fresh approach that may have not have been possible simply due to a lack of opportunity.
After all how many of us have found that a few hours away from the desk to think can allow you to see the woods for the trees rather than feeling like you are reacting to events rather than driving them?

Protect Santa & our children from Swine
Hi guys,
We were being serious in an earlier post this week about the need for Santa to also be vaccinated for the H1N1 as he is at serious risk.
Imagine the amount of children who will be sitting on his knee this year?
In hot stuffy shopping centres across the country with queues a mile long!
The Swine Flu is highly contagious and can be passed by touch and contact.
Although Santa normally wears gloves, he may remove them when hot.
The H1N1 vaccinations take 3-4 weeks and it is less then 4 weeks now to Christmas.
We have appealed to Mary Harney - Minister for Health to help this Santa appeal to protect our children and him.
With all the tragic stories of flooding, economic downturn and looming budget, please don’t let anything happen to Santa.
We have just started a facebook petition. If you have children who will be in contact with Santa this year sign up! All you have to do is click on the “become a fan” button on the Immunise Santa Facebook page.

Santa protesting that he should be immunised againse swine flu
Santa has made a good case for being classed as a priority for swine flu vaccination.
He cited the fact that he comes into close contact with millions of children in the run up to Christmas in grottos all over the world, and added that he personally handles all the presents he delivers on Christmas Eve.
Santa has also made a plea that his elves also be immunised against Swine Flu as a matter of urgency.
The H1N1 swine flu virus is extremely contagious. Given that children are already classified as an at risk group it makes sense that Santa and his helpers be immunised as a matter of urgency.
Jackie Brown Medical are calling on Minister of Health Mary Harney to address this situation immediately.

The importance of Time Keeping
Time and good time keeping is crucial! In todays employment market where being on time and meeting people who have even less time than you is a trait not to be underestimated or undervalued. Your next prospective employer may decide on meeting you again at second interview purely on the basis of your ability to meet at the agreed interview time. If you can’t do that what else can you not do?
Stephen Hawking wrote a Brief History of Time; if you get your time keeping wrong in todays employment climate your career prospects could be even briefer.
Why not visit our interview tips page.

As a kid, I used to love FunFairs and particularly the roller coaster. Today, as an adult, if you asked me to go on one, I would pass out with nerves as I don’t have the stomach for it.
But everyday that Employees go into work , they are on a Rollercoaster ride. They go into work with their stomachs in knots waiting to hear the news of redundancy or a pay cut. Holding on to your job today is likened to being on a Rollercoaster. Expect the unexpected!
My view is that if you are good at what you do and you add to the bottom line, your job will be safe.. This is particularly true for Medical Sales professionals.
They are the ones keeping companies afloat and adding to their bottom line.
Be aware that if you are concerned about your job right now, ask yourself if in what you do, you are adding to the bottom line. Make sure that you are not a liability in any way and whatever the Boss says, do.
Medical Sales professionals need to be ensuring that they make and exceed their targets and this is not a time for the faint-hearted. Be on the road at 6.30 am and start your first appointment at 8.00am. Be passionate, dogged and determined. Light up your customer’s day!
Don’t let this Recession beat you, beat it. Be the best….
We did it in the Rugby after all!!
