Selected properly, a book holder can reduce or even eliminate hand, wrist, arm and neck fatigue for book lovers, protect the book it holds, and protect the reader’s privacy. While book holders may be a necessity for book readers faced with certain disabilities, most readers believe they don’t really “need” a book holder. However, almost all book lovers quickly come to prefer reading with one once they’ve actually used a well conceived design.

Some book holder designs also serve as a stand to support and position a book for more comfortable reading without the need of any other supporting device, making for totally “hands-free” reading pleasure. Some designs consist of simple wire creations that clip onto pages of the book to hold it open, while other designs form stands for use on flat surfaces and can be folded flat for easy storage or transport from home to office to school or wherever. Other designs include floor stand models that can be easily moved from a favorite chair to bedside to kitchen counter top, to a desk, etc., for use at home, in the dorm or at the office. Other designs feature spring steel inside vinyl covers that wrap around a book to keep it open while reading and snap closed for protection during travel.

Other book holder designs can perform double duty as magazine holders, copy holders, newspaper holders, etc, thus extending the range of benefits its owner enjoys. There are book holders designed to float in a pool or tub, and there are book holders designed to hold your book attached to your computer or laptop screen. And there are book holders designed to be secured to a table, counter top or desk to support a book weighing up to five pounds while conserving valuable work space. These are particularly useful for cook books, instruction manuals, user manuals, repair manuals, and other reading materials you need to keep handy when working, but where work surface is at a premium.

By selecting the right book holder(s), a book lover’s pleasure can be increased many fold.

If want to find a job in a different region of the country. What is the best way to go about finding a high level COO, VP, or General Manager job when searching outside your region?

The job boards like Monster and others don’t seem to work well.

I think you should use a recruiting firm such as Robert Half. Professional staffing firms can do alot of the leg work for you so you don’t have to spend time looking through postings, filling out applications, and sending in cover letters and resumes. Most job postings online don’t give you any idea about the culture or the salary for the position. I’ve preferred this method of finding a job because I can ask the recruiter questions that I wouldn’t ask an interviewer until I had an offer.

Also, some companies don’t post open positions to the public and exclusively use staffing firms. These firms get paid up to 30% of your base salary once you get hired so they’re willing to put in the time looking for something that will appeal to you.

I know of the Internet web sites for job searching but how do you get in contact with recruiters in those areas? I live in the north east of the United States. My wife and I are considering relocating to the south west.

When you are looking for a job out side of your current area? You can find out about school districts and other beneficial information that would help in relocating? Searching Plus, I’ve experienced many companies want to higher people that are local.

Moving people across country at the company expense is a rare event today, unless you are at a VP or higher level. Some industries do more frequently, such as IT.

Almost everyone has heard about IQ tests. In a lot of printed publications, focused on women in particular, you may find them. Or just google ‘IQ tests’ and you will get as many as you like. You’ll get this page of questions filling your screen and you’ve got to select your answer online quickly. Then you submit the test and before you can count to ten, you get your results – a two or three digit number.

But to start from the beginning, what is an IQ test really? What is the meaning of the IQ score? IQ stands for ‘Intelligence Quotient’, meaning how smart you are. It’s supposed to give you an idea of how well you’ll do at a certain profession or how well you’ll perform academically.

The whole idea of the IQ test is to measure the potential of your brains using problems posed to you on paper. It assesses the ability of your brain to figure out solutions to issues presented to you in written form. The raw test scores are then compared to other persons. It’s one method commonly used to measure human intelligence.

The average IQ score is 100. If your score is higher than 100 you are more intelligent than average. A score below 100 tells that you are less intelligent than average.

Advantages of the IQ Test

• Recruitment Let’s say you’re hiring someone for a new job. You could get a better understanding of the applicant’s intelligence by conducting an IQ test. The test could be on logical, linguistic and spatial intelligence. These may be more related to the type of work involved. The results should give a clue on the suitability of the candidate for the position. That way some candidates could be eliminated since they would most likely not be able to make the job.
• College entrance On top of the SAT and other tests IQ tests to judge their intelligence. As there are often fewer places than applicants, this could be an additional screening tool. You could pick the cream of the crop from the high IQ scorers and send rejection slips to those who didn’t make the grade.

Disadvantages of the IQ Test

• IQ tests don’t tell the full story Plenty of folks who have taken an IQ test as part of the interview process didn’t do so well at work. It is quite common that they do not climb very fast or high on the corporate career ladder.
• Other factors may be more important College students who initially showed promising scores on their IQ test ended up not being so hot when they sat their term papers. Studies have found out that a student’s self-discipline is a better gauge of how well they’ll do at college or high school. Relying only on smartness is not enough you must put whatever IQ you have to work to do really well. Many high IQ scorers have been overtaken by so-called ‘weaker’ minds with much lower IQ.

• IQ does not measure everythingLeadership is one area which is not measured by IQ tests Another area not covered is your emotional intelligence, also called EQ, how good you are at handling other people and relationships. There is also the theory of multiple intelligences, that defines 8 different aspects of intelligence that you may have to varying degrees. So your IQ score may not be the only defining factor in your overall intelligence.
