Have you noticed that the Yellow Pages are getting thinner every year? That’s because fewer people are using them. Instead, your potential customers are using search engines on the Internet to find your business that provides your services. Hundreds, if not thousands, of searches for your services in your city are happening online every month—and amazingly, this number grows by 50% every single year! Now you’re probably wondering how this affects a small business owner, such as yourself. It’s simple: if you want your business to survive these times, you need to adapt to the growing impact of the Internet. You hope that the first thing a searcher sees when searching for a service is a website that features your business. And you even want this website to function like an interactive (交互式的) advertisement for your services. That is exactly what LocalTail provides you with through our all-in-one small business Internet advertising service called TheadSite Solution. Our goal is to help you get found by the hundreds of searchers looking for your services online every month, and turn these prospects into new customers for your business. LocalTail has helped many local businesses increase their revenues by as much as 300% just by using our TheadSite. Sound pretty good to you?

Finding a new job is not an easy thing to do. However, our economy is getting stronger, so now might be a good time to start looking for. If you think you have the skills and abilities that employers need, there are some things you should do to prepare for the job hunt. First, don’t quit your current job until you are sure you have a new one lined up. The best time to look for a job is when you are currently employed. People who are unemployed and desperate (极度渴望的) for work sometimes make bad decisions in accepting a job offer. Consider job offers carefully. Will the new job be better than the one you are having now? What about the location? Will the commute to work be easy or difficult?

Many cities offer free English classes through the public schools, or you can learn English online. You can take classes at night or on the weekend.
