Startup DIY – How to Hire the Right People!

max — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 12:20:53 +0000

For those of you starting your online or offline business, you might want to read up on this quick post on how to hire an A-team. As a person who’s running a start-up myself, I do highly believe that your success has everything to do with people you hire. Of course, my favorite tip is “hiring athletes.” I just happened to be playing competitive pro golf before I dived into the corporate world so…

Here is a bit of timeless wisdom from Warren Buffet. He advises that, when hiring, look for brains, energy, and integrity. But if the people you find don’t have integrity, the other two qualities will kill you.

Blog DIY – How to Make a Wordpress Blog in 2 Hours!

max — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 06:57:42 +0000

Well, I started writing a DIY on how to make a Wordpress Blog over at my Ad Optimization blog and it got rather long. But I do tell you how to make a Wordpress blog with all the bells and whistles in just 2 hours and also what “skills” you’d need to do it that fast.

If you are thinking about designing blogs for a living, this will definitely of great help in getting things done faster.

Here’s an excerpt:

1. I go to GoDaddy.com and register domain. As soon as I register, I point the DNS to one of my dedicated servers. As long as you set the IP within 5 minute time frame, your domain will be live in less than 5 minutes. I find that GoDaddy is the best domain company out there today and part of the reason I can do this fast is that their systems run fast too. (Don’t use Network Solutions btw, they are one of the worst I’ve used)

Time to do this for me: 10 minutes

2. I SSH2 into my dedicated server, download the latest Wordpress software, load all the plugins, activate the blog, do various setup for the blog.

Time to do this for me: 15 minutes

3. I load one of my blog themes and customize the CSS layout and colors.

Time to do this for me: 15 minutes

4. Design a logo, favicons on Photoshop, load it onto the blog as quickly as I can.

Time to do this for me: 30 minutes

5. Do 5 blog posts.

Time to do this for me: 30 minutes

Well, that’s total of 1 hour and 40 minutes to setup a brand new blog with a brand new design.

Job Hack – How to Get a Job Overseas!

max — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 18:48:55 +0000

Although this blog isn’t about how to get a job, I will try to enlighten those people who just got out of college looking for jobs.

If you read my free E-book, you will know how I got this “job”, but let me summarize what I did to get a job in a bad economy few years ago.

I graduated from UC Davis with a degree in Computer Engineering. With high hopes that I will be able to get a job right away, (and the fact that Computer Engineers had one of the highest average salaries at the time) I started submitting my resume to many companies. At one point, I had submitted to about 5,000 tech companies in Silicon Valley.

Well, in short, I couldn’t get an engineering job ANYWHERE as most of the jobs either required 2-3 years of experience OR those start-up jobs were too competitive. Besides that, my legal name is pretty non-english, helping those HR people to prejudice against my name. (Yes, that still exists today.)

Although I could speak perfect English, if you looked at my legal name, you think twice. (Jung Lee)

I did eventually end up with a weird job in the bedding industry through a referral of a friend. And to make matters worse, I hated the job and quit only after couple months.

So, what did I do?

I started looking elsewhere. Since I can speak/write fluent Korean, I figured I’d try to get a job in Korea as an engineer. Well, after submitting just about 100 resumes to Korean companies who were looking for an English/Korean speaking engineer, I had about 20-30 job offers from various companies.

Then it hit me, “Ah ha, you need to GO somewhere there’s a job. You need to go FIND that job, job doesn’t find you.”

That company I worked for was called, “Comfile Technology Inc.“ I was hired to train in Korea for 1 year on their products, then come back to America to make USA headquarters for Comfile.

Well, the byproduct of my Comfile guerilla marketing work is this blog you see today. I don’t know how I got here, I just know it took all those weird steps of flying half-way around the world and bringing the job back with me.

The funny thing is, I get job offers nowdays all the time, the phone doesn’t stop ringing almost like credit collection agencies. Here’s my typical line, “Oh, I am sorry but I cannot work for you as I have promised myself to never ever get a job again.”

Did I feel angry against the U.S. government when I couldn’t find a job right out of college? You betcha, hell yes. But at least I can stick it to the man now.

Even if you don’t speak another language, there’s thousands of big U.S. companies who have overseas offices and they actually need English-speaking people working there too with great pay and benefits. They will even pay for your flight, rent, and any funds required for relocation. (You just gotta “look” for the jobs.)

That’s right, if you just lost your job or can’t find a job around where you live, just go find another “place” in the world that needs you.

In short, you need to find a job that’s high in demand, low in supply. In America, this is a BIG problem for everyone who graduates from college, as there’s NO JOBS! It’s been like that couple years ago and will get worse and worse as most of start-up jobs are gone overseas. (Now, I took advantage by going overseas, you can too.)

Think out of the box. The box is America. You need to get out of America to think correctly. Once you can think out of the box, you will still be able to when you get back in the box.

Think of it this way, you and your friend both graduated with degree in Computer Engineering. Now, what makes one of you better than the other apart from grades?

NOTHING, to the employers today, you are the same whether you finished Top 5 in your class or 5th from last. Basically, no one has advantage over the other because both studied the same bs.

Even if you did some internship work, that’s not gonna help you that much than if you could show the employer, you got some extra skills such as “I can speak French/German fluently” and the job requires a lot of dealing with French and German people.

Of course, if you don’t want a job at all, you can always start an internet blogging business.

I will add one more note that I am lucky to be where I am. If I didn’t go to Korea that year, I will probably be working at the Mall, McDonalds, or somewhere miserably like a lot of college graduates who DON’T get a job for years and end up nothing better than non-college graduates. Think about how many people you know who went to college and still works at a restaurant. (Darn, I know way too many people like that, so let’s vote for change, no more Bush and Republican followers in the House.)

Linsay Pollack has some good advice on finding good jobs in this bad economy, so check that out too.

NYU Student creates DIY Virtual Girlfriend

max — Mon, 19 May 2008 18:50:41 +0000

NYU Student creates a 2-D virtual girlfriend that will respond to his kisses and movements. Very interesting, this might good for relaxing 9-5 men who don’t have partners.

It’s simple to behold — a single mattress, tucked into a dark, curtained back room of the showcase space. On it: a lithe brunette. She’s perfectly quiet, but once you sit or lie down, she responds to your every move. Lie on your back, she snuggles up right next to you in a log position. Curl up in the fetal position, she spoons. The only hitch: She’s 2-D. “Yeah, you can’t feel the girl. That’s the thing,” Burrows explained as he demonstrated his invention, an “infrared sensitive” light projection (meaning it reacts, and the projected woman moves, based on an infrared sensor) called INBED. “Still, it’s so nice if you’re tired and worn out to have someone to curl up with.”

The USB stress buster

David Allen — Mon, 24 Dec 2007 20:00:58 +0000

Now if you spend a lot of time on the phone talking really bad customers who are constantly complaining about this and that, then is probably something that you would be interested as you could get off the phone and bash the devices head in.

Being plugged into the USB port means that it has power and therefore the head can make sound of pain as you hit it, very satisfying and yet probably dangerous for the computer.
