Any experience with Dufour sailboats?

Posted on March 1, 2011 by admin| 1 Comment

I was curious if anyone has had any experience either on or with Dufour sailboats? In the recent issue of Latitudes and Attitudes, there is an article about a 1974 Dufour, 35′ long, that is sailed as a bluewater cruiser with great success. When looking at Dufour sailboats online that are for sale, the price is definately less than other bluewater cruisers in the same category, although there doesn’t seem to be as much fancy woodwork inside the cabin. As long as the boat is still bluewater worthy, it’s not a bad option if one doesn’t need anything fancy. Just wanted to know if anyone has an opinion on this manufacture. Thanks in advance.

Seeking interviewing tips or advice.?

Posted on September 29, 2010 by admin| 2 Comments

I used to be an Executive Recruiter for the IT industry until the industry tanked in 2001. After that I had sales support positions until 2004, when I had surgery and went to temping for personal reasons. I have been temping since 2004. I have been trying to get back into the recruiting field with little success, and have finally landed an interview with a staffing firm. It has been so long since i interviewed for a perm. job I feel rusty. Any advice/tips on what questions to expect or how to best present myself as the right candidate would be appreciated. The position I am applying for is an entry level position, recruiting for office personnel. I do realize 6 years is too long of a stretch to expect to get back into an Exec. or senior position immediately. Thanks.

I have been looking for a job in Sugar Land, Texas over the internet with no success. It seems like the only person that can get a job there are technicians, engineers, sales reps and professionals, and medical personnel. I was an Infantry Squad leader about a month ago. Now I’m out of the Army and looking for something exciting but less dangerous.

Has anyone had success listing a new home for sale on internet websites?

Posted on May 22, 2010 by admin| 1 Comment

Our company has recently made the move from contract work to new home construction and in summer 2005 constructed 2 homes in a small development. We have tried to sell them on our own, but the price was a little high compared to the other lots because of extras like granite countertops, travertine tile, etc., and we still have them on our hands, growing more expensive with every month’s interest payment. Have you all had any success with other forms of advertising/selling? If so, please divulge…I am very open to suggestions. Thanks!
