3 Signs You Should Turn Down a Job Offer
3 Signs You Should Turn Down a Job Offer3 Signs You Should Turn Down a Job OfferSometimes, a person who is unemployed or desperate gets tempted to take whatever job comes along. But while such a move might seem attractive at the moment, it oftentimes leads to regret. Still, when you should you turn down a job offer?The old saying of any port looks good in a storm could be a bad approach, as you can get stuck somewhere and never be able to get where you want to go, says Ronald Kaufman, author of Anatomy of Success.Need some help deciding whether or notto turn down a job offerand wait for a better opportunity to present itself? These three factors may tip the scale1. This position does nothing to further your career.While you neednt take a job expecting it to last forever, settling for something unrelated to your overall objectives may make achieving those goals harder in the future. Not only are you diverting focus and time from what you really want, you might have difficulty down the line presenting yourself as qualified and dedicated to your true interest.Always look through the eyes of potential employers and how they might view a choice, Kaufman says. How might a prospective employer view your work history?2. You dont fit in with the companys culture.Bad company culture = serious unhappiness, cautions Valerie Streif,senior advisor for Mentat. Even if a job offer comes with a nice paycheck and decent benefits, which seems 100 times better than being unemployed, if the company culture doesnt seem good from the get-go, it can be a recipe for destruction of your personal happiness.Remember, too, that feeling out of place doesnt just make it hard to get up in the morning- it can have lasting consequences. Morale tends to affect performance. In turn, your subpar productivity may make you less attractive for good assignments or deprive you of the stellar references needed to land another job.And if you resign yourself to working for a company that goes against your morals or has questionable ethics, you doom yourself to guilt by association. Avoid any employer you wouldnt be proud to list on a future resume.3. Youre already making an exit plan.Being uninspired from the start is a pretty clear sign that turning down the job offeris in your best interests. If money is the issue, consider freelancing or temping while continuing to seek a satisfying permanent position.As Streif notes, A thing to remember for frustrated job seekers is that if they settle for the wrong job, theyre going to end up right back where they started- frustrated and unemployed, and on top of that, they would have wasted time. Its always good to get offers, to see what is out there, but to have patience when making the decision on where youll commit to being an employee in the end.Still on the hunt for a new job?

Shareholder Agreement FAQ - United States
Shareholder Agreement FAQ - United StatesShareholder Agreement FAQ - United StatesWhat is a Shareholders Agreement?What is a Shareholders Agreement?A Shareholders Agreement (also called a Stockholder Agreement) is an agreement between all or some of the shareholders (or stockholders) of a Corporation. This contract establishes the rights of shareholders and the duties and powers of the motherboard of Directors and management. A Shareholders Agreement is very beneficial when the Corporation is closely-held or there are only a few shareholders. A typical shareholders agreement might do some or all of the following(1) determine rights related to the sale, issuance or subsequent distribution of shares (e.g. rights of first refusal, piggyback rights and pre-emptive rights)(2) set out the rights and duties of the Officers and other management(3) create options to buy or sell the shares (e.g. a shotgun clause)(4) determine what will happen in case of death, retirement, etc., of a shareho lder (with the value of the shares to be calculated according to a certain formula)(5) establish the number of Directors on the Board and their duties(6) zu nutz und frommenvide existing shareholders with the right to approve future shareholders.Who are the parties to the Shareholders Agreement?The parties to a Shareholders Agreement are the shareholders of the corporation. Ideally, all shareholders will participate in the Shareholders Agreement.When should my Shareholders Agreement end?The Shareholders Agreement can end when all shareholders agree to end it, or on a specific date. The option to end it upon the agreement of all shareholders should only be used where there are a relatively small number of shareholders, the Corporation is not thinking of taking on new shareholders, and the shareholders have a good working relationship. Even one disgruntled shareholder could cause significant problems for the Corporation by refusing to terminate the agreement, even where it would in the best interests of the Corporation to do so. If there are a relatively large number of shareholders, or where the Corporation is trying to increase the number of shareholders, or if the potential exists for conflict among the shareholders, then the Shareholders Agreement should probably be ended on a specific date.Where do I file/register my Shareholders Agreement?You do not file a Shareholders Agreement. To register a corporation you need to file your Articles of Incorporation and make regular annual filings as requested but that is all. Your Shareholders Agreement is an agreement between parties just like any other geschftsleben contract and is used for internal purposes only. It should be stored in your minute book.Warrants and RepresentationsWhy would I want the Corporation to warrant its shares?When a Corporation warrants its shares, it lists the shareholder names as well as the number and type of shares each shareholder owns at the time that the shareholders agreement is s igned. This warranty is beneficial when the shareholders may want some confidence as to how many shares of the Corporation are issued and who owns those shares.Why do we need Shareholders to warrant that they are the beneficial owners of their shares?Each shareholder may confirm that they are the beneficial owner of their shares. This means that that no other person has an interest in those shares nor are they held in trust for someone else. This warranty can provide some additional confidence to other shareholders and creditors regarding who really owns and controls the Corporation.Director and Officer SelectionWhy would I want the shareholders agreement to provide direction on Director selection?In a small corporation where one person may own over 50% of the shares, a majority shareholder can be prevented from electing every Director, simply by virtue of their majority ownership. Depending upon your jurisdiction, you may have certain options in determining the Corporations Dire ctors. For example, the shareholders might each appoint one Director. This option will work better when there is a smaller number of shareholders and you want each shareholder to have equal power.Alternatively, the shareholders may agree to elect a list of specified Directors. There might be ten shareholders, but all the shareholders might agree to have three specified Directors. This last option may be beneficial when the shareholders acknowledge that the majority shareholder should have greater representation but the minority shareholders each want a Director on the board to ensure their interests are protected.It should be noted that all Directors have a duty to act in the best interest of the Corporation no matter how they were elected or which group of shareholders they are intended to represent.Why would I want Alternative Directors specified?In case there is a vacancy on the Board of Directors, the shareholders might want to identify alternate or new Directors. The vacanc y could be temporary or permanent. This clause helps the shareholders to continue to control the appointment of Directors in the situation where one of the specified Directors is unable to continue to be on the Board of Directors.Why would I want to specify the Officers of the company?Specifying the Officers of the Corporation may prevents subsequent shareholders from firing the Officers even if they acquire a majority share or control of the Board of Directors. This may provides a level of managerial consistency to the company. However, for the saatkorn reason, specifying the Officers may also prevent the company from attracting sophisticated institutional investors who want to install their own management team to run the Corporation.Why do I need to decide management issues in the Shareholders Agreement?Specifying management issues in the Shareholders Agreement preserves the right of the existing shareholders to determine issues vital to the Corporation. If these issues are not specified in the Agreement, then the Board of Directors will be able to change and manage the Corporation as it sees fit. If you believe that the shareholders are in a better position to determine matters of importance to the Corporation than the Directors are, you should specify all the terms you deem important to the long term health of the Corporation.Share TransactionsHow does a Corporation redeem stock?A corporation can redeem stock by repurchasing it from existing shareholders and placing the stock back in the Corporations name. This is done mostly by established Corporations. It is usually only done where the Corporation has enough cash to make the purchase while still covering operating expenses. Redeeming shares transfers equity back into the Corporation, increasing the companys future value.When would a Corporation issue stock for non-money consideration?Corporations will sometimes issue stock for non-money considerations when they are trying to attract top level profes sionals and skilled workers to the Corporation or when they are trying to purchase property but do not have the capital to do so.What is the difference between a Shareholder Loan and purchase of shares?When a shareholder purchases shares, the shareholder increases their equity in the company. When a shareholder makes a Shareholder Loan to the company, it is a personal debt owed to the shareholder by the company, as though both were private individuals. The debt must be repaid, but it does not increase the shareholders equity in the company.What are pre-emptive rights?Pre-emptive rights give existing shareholders the right to buy any newly issued shares from the Corporation before it is sold to outside third parties. This protects existing shareholders by allowing them to retain their percentage of ownership in the company. Disadvantages of pre-emptive rights are that they may cause long delays in the sale of shares, and that they may discourage sophisticated institutional inves tors from investing because they may get a smaller proportionate share of the Corporation than they want when the pre-emptive rights are exercised.What is a shotgun clause?A shotgun clause provides an escape mechanism for shareholders if there is a serious dispute that cannot be resolved. One shareholder may offer to buy the other shareholders shares for a certain price. A shotgun clause stipulates that the other shareholder may either sell his/her shares at that price, or buy the offering shareholders shares at that same price. This process provides incentive for the offering shareholder to name a fair price.However, if shareholders have unequal financial resources, one shareholder could specify an unfairly low price, knowing that the other shareholder cannot afford to buyout the offered shares. The offerer could then turn around and buy the shares of the weaker shareholder at the unnaturally low bid. The shotgun clause, therefore, might also require that a fair price be set f or any buyout offer.What is a right of first refusal?A right of first refusal requires that when an existing shareholder wants to sell his shares, all shares must first be offered to existing shareholders on a pro rata basis, which enables the existing shareholders to retain their percentage stake in the Corporation, before being sold to an outside third party. It also protects existing shareholders from unwelcome new shareholders. However, if the existing shareholders cannot afford to buy the shares, the shares may still be sold to the third party and existing shareholders may end up with a new co-owner. One shortcoming of the right of first refusal is that it may cause long delays in the sale of shares.What are piggyback rights?A tag-along clause (also called piggyback rights) protects minority shareholders in the event of a third party buyout. If a majority shareholder sells his/her shares to a third party, the minority shareholder has the right to become part of the transacti on and sell his/her shares to the same third party purchaser at the same price and on similar terms. Thus, the third party, if they wish to purchase the shares, must be prepared to purchase ALL of the outstanding shares. The benefit to the minority shareholder is that they can avoid being in business with an unwanted new co-owner. It also ensures that all shareholders will receive similar buyout offers and protects small shareholders from being forced to accept much less attractive offers. A shortcoming of tag along rights is that it may cause long delays in the sale of shares.What is a valuation clause and why do I need it?A valuation clause provides a method to determine the value of the Corporations shares. Such a process is needed when shareholders want to sell their shares or when a shareholder dies and the other shareholders want to buy those shares. Since most small corporations are private (not traded on a stock exchange) the shares are hard to value without a predetermine d method. Having this clause will reduce the disagreement and uncertainty that occurs when a shareholder wants to buy or sell shares.Why would I need a professional valuator?Shares that are not publicly traded on a stock market are hard to valuate because they are not easily convertible to cash. Valuating the shares yourself may lead to a large over- or under-valuation of the share price. Both mistakes can be detrimental to the company and to all affected shareholders. A professional will give a more accurate valuation that is fair to all shareholders. However, the valuation may be expensive so you must carefully consider whether or not to use a professional valuator.MiscellaneousWhat is a dividend?A dividend is a share of the Corporations profits received by a shareholder at specific intervals during the year. Dividends are paid on a per share basis (e.g. $0.10 per share) and are used to give shareholders a positive return for holding onto shares. A corporation can pay out an y percentage of its profits as dividends, but most pay out less than 100%, so the corporation has assets for capital expenditures, business growth, unexpected expenses, or business losses in subsequent years.What is a non-compete clause?A non-compete clause prohibits shareholders from competing with the Corporation while they are owners in the Corporation and for a short period after they have left the Corporation. In a small corporation, customers deal closely with the shareholders. A non-compete clause prevents an influential shareholder or former shareholder from attracting customers away from the Corporation. A shareholder that leaves the Corporation may also possess confidential information that can be used to advantage against the Corporation.What is a non-solicitation clause?A non-solicitation clause prevents shareholders or former shareholders from inducing other shareholders, Directors, Officers or employees of the Corporation to leave the Corporation or to compete again st it. This clause prevents an influential shareholder from stealing key employees.What is a capital expenditure and why would I want to have shareholder approval to buy or dispose of them?A capital expenditure is money spent to acquire or upgrade physical assets such as buildings and machinery. Requiring shareholder approval of large capital expenditures protects the shareholders from the Corporations employees or Officers putting too great of an investment into certain ventures without the shareholders approval. It protects the shareholders investment from the poor judgment of an Officer or employee. The amount of the limit will be dependent upon the size and resources of the Corporation as well as the shareholders confidence in its management.What is the difference between mediation and arbitration?mediationszeit is a process by which a neutral third party, the mediator, assists the conflicting parties in negotiating an agreement regarding the issue in conflict. Arbitration i s a process by which the conflicting parties present their conflict to an agreed upon neutral third party who, upon hearing from both parties, decides on how to resolve the issue.When would the use of a mediator or arbitrator to settle disputes be beneficial?A mediator or arbitrator should be used when the parties are at a deadlock over an issue. Mediation and arbitration are superior processes when there is a long term relationship involved and the survival of the business relationship is desirable. If the dispute is not resolved and goes to court, a judge may decide on a compromise that is not desirable to either party, possibly to dissolve the company. But, if both parties agree to choose a neutral third party mediator or arbitrator to resolve the dispute, the business relationship may be able to continue successfully.Signing, witnesses and notariesWho needs to sign the Shareholders Agreement?Each shareholder must sign the Shareholders Agreement. In addition, a representative of the company should sign.Do the shareholder signatures need to be witnessed?This depends on whether the shareholders know and trust each other. If you suspect that one or more shareholders may deny ever having seen or signed the Shareholder Agreement then maybe all signatures should be witnessed.Do the shareholder signatures need to be notarized?Again, this depends on whether the shareholders know and trust each other. If there was ever a conflict in the future concerning the Agreement and you suspect that one or more shareholders may deny ever having seen or signed the Shareholder Agreement then maybe all signatures should be notarized.

How to talk your employer into a dog-friendly office
How to talk yur employer into a dog-friendly amtsstubeHow to talk your employer into a dog-friendly officeFor pet owners, leaving Fido at home to retreat to the office is a daily struggle. Not only are pup daycares and dog walkers expensive if you live in a city, but the guilt of thinking of your best friend home alone is tough to stomach, too.Though its not yet the norm, mora and mora companies are wagging their tail at the idea of dog-friendly offices, which have been scientifically proven to calm employees, while boosting morale and office interaction. As career and branding expert Wendi Weiner explains, Having a dog in the office can make you happier, more positive, more enthusiastic about coming to work, and even friendlier.Its that vibe the founder of Hello Products Craig Dubitsky was going for when he decided to start his company. Not only is their dedication to animals apparent in their vegan toothpaste and mouthwash, but their plant-based toothbrushes are never tested on fur ry pals, eitherbei. Their entire supply chain is cruelty-free, and they wanted to offer that same commitment to their employees pets with an open-door dog policy.We consider where we go to work each day as an extension of our home, and last I checked, many of us had dogs that we love in our homes so why wouldnt we want those same lovable, amazing, furry friends to come hang with us in the office? It was a no-brainer, he explained.At the company today, many pups are present daily, including Harbor, Shayna, Ace, Elvis, and Toby, all of which help define the culture. When folks feel comfortable to show their affectionate side, their emotional side, theres an honesty that just comes through in all of our interactions - with each other, with partners that come into our space, and with the outside world, he explains.So how do you sell your own employer on the concept of a dog-friendly office? Here, a few ideas to make your caseIt boosts office moraleAs evident from many startups and cor porations who set aside water bowls, everyones a bit happier when dogs are around. Weiner says to take into account the moments when the energy around the office is a little underwhelming or defeated - and use it to your advantage in opening arguments.Perhaps your office is full of CPAs and staff accountants who feel the lull of tax season. Imagine if Fridays were set so that you could bring your dog to work? Suddenly the tax season stress diminishes as you are looking forward to casual dress-down Friday as well as the added perk of bringing your dog into the office, she explains.As science says, higher spirits will mean more productivity for all. Those who work in four-leg-friendly offices can attest to the fact firsthand - or is it paw first? Software developer for InkSoft, Eric Nation says everyone in his office definitely smiles more with dogs around. Every Monday morning, his office has a town hall where all employees and their dogs are invited. While it might seem distractin g, he says its actually the opposite, since pups become part of the company family and culture.Having loving, cheerful and cute animals around just improves your mood and helps lighten your work day. If youre stressing over a deadline or call you just got off of, and then along comes Naudia wagging her tail with a big grin wanting you to pet her how are you going to be in a bad mood anymore? he explains. If employees are happier and in a better mood at work, they are going to naturally perform better. And what manager doesnt want that?It decreases stress and increases productivityAs a dog owner herself, Weiner says it can be difficult to manage a busy work schedule with the demands of being a pet mom. For many, the rush to get out of the door for their pups walk can put added pressure on the workday. When dogs are roaming the hallways, its easier to remain focused, since employees can take them out for a pee break whenever they need them.While dogs can be trained to hold it in for that long period of time, imagine how the dog owner feels knowing that he/she has left her dog alone for that time. Dogs crave the companionship of humans and enabling dogs in the office would reduce the personal stress of the owner to need to leave work earlier to tend to the dog, she explains.Some companies, like UNITE Hair, go the extra mile to make this possible as a dog-friendly office. At their 55,000-square foot office in Carlsbad, CA, they offer a meditation area, outdoor break room, indoor/outdoor kitchen area, custom coffee bars and a gym, including showers. With these amenities and pups by their sides, employees can detox for any demanding situation with ease, and without ever leaving.It can make your more competitiveAnother way to encourage your employee to welcome your dog is to illustrate how it makes them more competitive in the hiring process. If top-tier talent only seeks flexible companies - in policy, vacation and their furry sidekicks - it could make or break a n offer letter.Praytell, a creative communications agency headquartered in Brooklyn with offices in Los Angeles, Austin, San Francisco, Chicago and London not only allows dogs but offers benefits for pet parents, too. This includes pet insurance to help with any unexpected vet-related costs and a puppy leave program when you first adopt. They accredit their PR Agency of the Year for the past three years to a focus on company culture, including this animal-focused approach.

How to Write Job Descriptions for Your Resume
How to Write Job Descriptions for Your ResumeHow to Write Job Descriptions for Your ResumeWhen you think about job descriptions, you probably think of job ads posted by employers. But the most important job descriptions may be the ones you create yourself, when youre describing past positions on your resume. Job descriptions show prospective employers what you have accomplished in the positions youve held. They also provide a synopsis of your experience and skills. Well-written descriptions for each job you have held will help get your resume noticed and selected for interviews. Whats the best way to write attention-grabbing job descriptions? Before you start adding job descriptions to your resume, you may want to make a list of accomplishments at each of your jobs. This will prepare you for writing your resume. Focus on Skills and Achievements After you have written a job description, look for ways to make your explanation more concise. Make an effort to create effective impact statements. Highlight skills and achievements, providing only enough detail to support your premises. Try to edit out pronouns and articles. Begin phrases or sentences with verbs. Choose strong words- resume action words like initiated and supervised are powerful and show that youve made an impact on your team. If you will be submitting resumes to organizations that scan them into searchable computer databases, include as many industry and job-specific keywords as possible. When searching databases for fhigkeit candidates, employers seek resumes with the greatest number of hits on keywords. Keywords are most often nouns, e.g. customer tafelgeschirr or computer skills. To use keywords most effectively, be specific, use as many as possible, and sprinkle them throughout your resume. Be Selective About What You Include Your resume isnt your entire work history, and you dont need to include every duty for each role. Determine the most relevant information by putting yourself in your potential employers position Will this information help convince the employer that you are a worthwhile candidate to interview? You do not have to include every responsibility you ever had. Group together similar tasks. For instance, rather than listing Answered phones and Responded to customer emails in two bullet points, you can combine and say, Resolved customer issues through phone, email, and chat conversations. Prioritize Job Description Information Next, think about prioritizing the information you provide in each description. Present details that are of the greatest interest to potential employers first. For example, consider the candidate seeking a job in interior design. The resume might reflect a retail experience in which 75 percentof the candidates time welches spent on the sales floor, and 25 percentwas spent designing window and floor displays. Priority, determined by relevance to the employer, dictates that design of window and floor displays should be listed bef ore sales. Sales Associate Sales Associate, Retail USA, New York, NY October, 20XX - PresentDesigned all large windows using color as the primary focus.Created engaging point-of-purchase displays for slow moving small items increased sales of these items by 30 percent.Organized floor displays to maximize space and call attention to latest merchandise.Utilized strong interpersonal and communications skills to serve customers received employee of the month award twice. ExpandBottom line Highlight your most relevant qualifications for the job by listing them first in the job description. Quantify Your Accomplishments Quantify as much information as you can (numbers, dollar signs, percentages can all help to make your case). A bullet point that reads Grew traffic 35 percentyear-over-year is more impressive- and informative- than one that reads simply Improved traffic. Nearly any description, for any job, can be enhanced through the use of numbers. A waitress might start out with the description Took customer orders and delivered food. But a quantified description saying, Served customers in an upscale 100-seat restaurant, provides much more insight. Waitress Waitress, Maxills Restaurant, New York, NYJanuary 20XX - PresentProvided dining service for patrons at an upscale 100-seat fine dining establishment.Served meals, cleared tables, monitored five tables, and provided exceptional customer service to up to 30 customers.Trained new waitstaff on POS system, guest services, and restaurant policies and procedures. ExpandBottom line Employers like numbers. Its much easier to look at signs and symbols than it is to read words. Emphasize Accomplishments Over Responsibilities Its important for employees to know you have the necessary experience to do the work required in the position. Still, many candidates will have this relevant experience. To stand out, emphasize how you added value. Focus on accomplishments, rather than responsibilities. As seen above, numbers can be your friend when it comes to highlighting your accomplishments in your resume. As well, provide context. For instance, you might say, Increased revenue by 5 percent, after several years of decreasing sales. Or, rather than saying Answered phone calls and dealt with customer concerns, you can say, Resolved customer concerns, answering approximately 10 calls per hour. Became go-to person on the team for dealing with the toughest phone calls and most challenging complaints. While it is important to keep descriptions short, adding details and context can help show employers why youd be a good match for the position. Customer Service Customer Service Associate, ABD Company, March 20XX - August 20XXResolved customer concerns efficiently and expeditiously, answering approximately 300 calls per week.Achieved 100 percentof call performance goals for accuracy, speed, volume, resolution of issues, and customer satisfaction.Nominated for employee-of-the-month four times for excellent at titude and exemplary customer service skills. ExpandBottom line Employers want to know what you accomplished. Make it easy for them to see what youve done by using numbers and percentages. Make Your Jobs Sound Better There are easy ways to jazz up your resume job descriptions to make your jobs sound super impressive. A few simple tweaks here and there can make your resume much better.
