Italian Language Tutoring and Teaching

July 18th, 2008

Finally I have decided to go a step further. Now I am accepting applications for students of Italian. I will teach them Italian (did I write that I am Italian mother tongue?) I come from the only part of Italy where Italian is spoken properly (Tuscany) and I have a deep knowledge of the Italian grammar as well of course the perfect pronunciation of words. I heard a few “Teachers of Italian” and I was horrified; they have probably learned Italian on CD’s!!

Recruiters’ Wall of Shame

June 23rd, 2008

Since I am bombarded by idiots (mostly recruiters) of any sort, people not even answering emails, not showing up to appointments, resume collectors and people practicing the “sport” of discrimination, I have decided to publish their names and what they did to me. Maybe a good share of bad publicity will moralize this field. People acting like these so called “recruiters” are low-life worms, not human being; they take advantage of people searching for a job, treating them like pieces of meat. Stay tuned for the updated list.

The Truth About Recruiters

June 10th, 2008

I am damn tired of recruiters. These people treat you like a piece of meat. They are not any better than debt collectors. Admittedly (there are posts all over the Internet), they are just like any other sales person, they are at the same level of car sales people. There are exceptions of course, but I never met one of these exceptions.

June 5th, 2008

It’s a well known fact that airlines have crazy fares; they change prices by the minute. Lately, with this “cost of gasoline” frenzy, every excuse is good to hit Customers with stupid surcharges, such as the checked luggage. Yesterday I found out something even crazier.

Importance of PR (Page Rank)

May 14th, 2008

Many people believe that PR (or Page Rank) is extremely important for their SEO efforts. First of all let me tell you that the PR appearing on the Google toolbar has nothing to do with the real PR used by Google; the toolbar shows only an approximation of the real value (which is logarithmic). I have several pages with a low PR (in some instance ZERO) and the results returned by Google give me a better exposure than many other websites with higher PR for the same keywords. If you focus solely on PR you are just wasting your time. Content is King as well as a good website design.
