Find work with CSI

January 9, 2007 by Tricia

I have to tell one of our friends about the CSI site. Our friend is a Civil Engineer and I believe he’s been unhappy with the company that he’s currently working for. CSI, or Civil Search International is a company who’s 14 dedicated recruiters work to match Civil Engineers with Civil Engineering Firms. This might be a great company for our friend to register with as he might be able to get a job that suits him.

According to the site the CSI team has quite a bit of accumulated experience behind them. Many of the 14 professional recruiters have 10, 20 and even 30 years of experience in executive management, civil engineering recruiting. All combined they have over 60 years worth of recruiting experience.

CSI believes that they have the most comprehensive list of civil engineering PE’s and EIT’s in the industry and this enables them to make over 25,000 calls through their data base of prospects as they work to match civil engineers with companies seeking to employ them. They customize each search to fit their clients needs.

They work with many of the top engineering firms in the US, both regional and international firms. The firms that CSI deals with have great projects, and provide excellent salaries and benefits.

Satisfied Clients Including Many of the Top Engineering Firms in the United States: Currently, we represent over 50 leading Civil Engineering firms, many are international leaders while others are top regional firms. These firms are working on the best projects, have outstanding management teams and offer excellent salaries/benefits as well as a chance for rapid promotion. After spending the time to get to know our client’s needs, we then prepare a detailed job order before beginning the outbound dialing process.

If you are a civil engineer why don’t you visit the CSI site and see if they have opportunities that suit your experience or future goals? You might just end up with a job that you’re happier with and perhaps better pay too.

Hello Strangers

January 8, 2007 by Tricia

I guess it seems like I’ve been missing in action, and I have been … sorta. I can’t believe how long I’ve been going not posting on my sites!

I’m puzzle hunting. Deep into a contest that might very well end some time today. I’m busy trying to win $1000 so I just plain haven’t been writing anything. I probably couldn’t write much anyway because I’ve been staying up late, sleeping for two or three hours and then getting back into the hunt. Yes, that’s just great for the Crohns too so I’m feeling pretty yucky right now too.

So please excuse my absence while I try my hardest to win some cash. I’ll be back soon – probably writing regularly again by tomorrow or even late tonight.

Meet “Little Me”

It looks like I was probably 2 years old or so in that photo. Squinting into the sun. I think I still probably make that face when the sun is in my eyes.

I don’t have any memory of that day, but I know from the background that it was taken up at our cottage, or rather, our old family farm in front of my grandmothers house. We’d taken over the old three story farm house far across the field from my grandmothers more modern house and we used the old family home as at cottage to visit on the weekends.

I loved our old farm house. I do remember that well. Unfortunately it burned down – with one of my brothers inside of it – when I was just five years old. Don’t worry, my uncle rescued my brother, but we didn’t know that for a while as we watched the farm house burn. We built a one story, 3 bedroom, open style cottage in it’s place and it became our weekend home away from home. It too ended up burning down when I was 19 or 20 years old. We never rebuilt after that happened.

My family 164

This is a photo of my brothers wedding party. Terry is the one on the far left, he’s the groom of course. He’s also the middle child. The second oldest is my brother Laurie, and he’s the man to the left of my brother Terry, and just to the right of him is my oldest brother Bob. The last man is my ex-sister in laws boyfriend. Beside my ex-sister-in-law, is her sister, then to the right of her, the woman with the dark hair is my sister Ellen. She’s the fourth child in the family. Then finally, there’s a younger version of me.

I think I was about 10 in that photo. Which means that my sister was 20, and my oldest brother was going on thirty! Big age gap!

By the time I was 12 all of my brothers were married and I was an aunt to my first niece! That felt strange too. My sister got married when I was 17 or 18. I was a flower girl, brides maid or maid of honor at each of my siblings weddings. I wasn’t a bride until many years later – like 10 years from the last family wedding!

Dealking gives you cash back when you shop

January 5, 2007 by Tricia

Do you like saving money and getting great deals? I know that I do. If you’re like me and enjoy finding a bargain then you should visit dealking.com. The site lists deals, discounts and even cash back offers on products purchased for 100’s on well known, name brand online stores.

To start saving money and get cash back on your purchases all you need to do is sign up for a free Deal King membership and then start shopping. Find a store or product you like and go to the site to purchase the product through the Dealking.com links to get your discounts or cash back deals. For example – I need some new clothes so I visited their Gap directory. In the Gap directory I found an offer that would get me 2% cashback on my Gap purchases. Dealking has other offers that are even better than that.

Silver and other precious metals as an investment

January 5, 2007 by Tricia

It seems these days that I’m all about money in one way or another – finding good deals so we can save our limited income, trying to put some funds aside in a high interest account in the bank, thinking about stocks, bonds and mutual funds, and now I’m looking at Monex Deposit Company. You see they sell silver coin and other precious metals as a form of investment.

Apparently world demand for silver now exceeds annual production of the precious metal.

It’s a worthy product to invest in now before stores of the stock piles of this metal go down further. MDC allows you to purchase silver and have it delivered for safe keeping to an independent bank or depository. The silver comes in coin, with currency value, or ingot form.

As I said I haven’t decided yet how I might invest my money, but I know that investing in a diverse amount of products or companies is usually a good idea, so perhaps one day I’ll have myself a little stockpile of silver or other precious metals.
