Blog #5 Instructions on how to assemble a vacuum


I researched instructions on line for assembling the Eureka AS1000 series vacuum.  The instructions were available in three languages English, French, and Spanish.  The English guide has only English instructions printed on sheet.  The French and Spanish guide has both the French instructions printed first.  The Spanish instructions are printed second under the French instructions.  All of the headings are bold in all three languages.  Both assemble guides feature six colors black, blue, gray, green, red, and yellow.  The Eureka AS1000 series vacuum quick start guide is really designed well.  The pictures walk you through all four steps.  The first step informs you of everything that should be in the box that you purchased.  The second step has twelve easy assembly picture boxes.  The third step shows you how to turn on the vacuum through pictures and instructions.  The fourth step shows you how to clean and assemble the dust cup through pictures and instructions  also.  The Quick Start Guide lives up to its name.  The guide is very user friendly, clearly written, and also includes an customer services helpline phone number.

BLOG MANAGING YOUR ONLINE IDENTITY
Who would have ever thought that your online identity would be considered valuable property?   Having your name or a company name as an email or web address can be priceless.  The ability to enter your name or company name in a web search and put up your name or business can give you a huge advantage in the internet world.  Web addresses are distributed on a first-come-first-served basis.  Someone with the same name as yours or the same company name can stop in your tracks. 
My name is not as unique as I thought it was.  As a matter of fact it is very common.  I have to provide information on the web that will promote a profession and positive image of me.  The subject content will have to make me stand out from all of the others.

What is the role of constructive criticism in the work place


What is really the role of constructive criticism in the work place?  The definition of constructive is constructing or tending to construct; helping to improve; promoting further development or advancement.  The definition of criticism is the act of passing judgment as to the merits of anything.  The purpose constructive criticism in the work place is to build up an employee in areas that they may be unaware of or weak in.  Bring these areas to their attention in a positive and uplifting manner will be more likely to produce positive behavior and life changing results.  It is not always what we say but how we say it.
