Are There Fees Involved with Finding a Position Through Beacon Resources?

If you are a job seeker, you may have heard great things about Beacon Resources and its finance staffing and CPA recruitment efforts. However, it is natural to wonder, “How much does Beacon Resources charge?” The answer is: Nothing. That is, nothing for you. The companies that need jobs filled are the ones paying.

Complimentary Services for Candidates

Beacon Resources offers many free services to its job candidates. For example, Executive Recruiters discuss the specific skills you have to offer and the type of workplace you seek. Other topics to talk about include:

  • Your goals
  • Your soft skills and intangible attributes
  • Your interests
  • The unique value you can bring to different opportunities
  • The corporate culture you would thrive best in
  • Your preferred responsibilities and work schedule

Your Executive Recruiter will probably also offer feedback on your resume and interviewing skills—and all of this is free. A huge number of businesses work with Beacon Resources, many positions are filled every week, and there is no need to charge job candidates anything. So, whether you seek a long-term job or something temporary, you pay nothing to Beacon Resources.

Of course, that does not mean your job search is entirely free. For instance, an Executive Recruiter may recommend that you invest in a certain type of interview suit or change the look of your business cards. These moves are standard as you learn what works and what does not work in your specific job search.

What Businesses Get for Their Money

The value that Beacon Resources offers its clients is tremendous. For example, many bypass posting job openings online because they know that Beacon Resources can likely present impressive candidates within a day or two. Candidates are thoroughly vetted already, having undergone a screening process that includes background and reference checks.

Beacon Resources strives to give businesses a qualified stable of candidates that can meet (or exceed) their needs. One big advantage is that this process often takes days compared with months, and for a business, is well worth the investment.

Top Ways to Keep the Children Occupied This Easter for Less

The Easter holidays are one of the longer breaks in the school year and often the weather isn’t always at its best.  This means that the children quickly get bored of their toys and games and restlessness sets in.  A great way to keep them occupied is to make things together with them and My Voucher Codes have created a great pack to help you enjoy the fun and easy crafts and activities that don’t break the bank.

Decorating the house for Easter

Decorating the house for Easter has become very popular in the way that Halloween and Christmas see our homes transformed.  Easter is about pastel colours, rabbits, chicks and, of course, Easter eggs.  Making your own colourful Easter eggs with the kids is one of the easier tasks to undertake and lets the children bring out their artistic side.

Prick two holes in an egg and use tape to stop them cracking.  Put a small straw into one hold and gently blow out the egg yolk and white through the bottom hole.  Give then a gentle rinse and they are ready for decoration.  The children can then paint them as they want and put them in a bowl to decorate the dining room table.

Easy games

Another set of great ideas in the Easter Hack Pack surrounds easy games you can play with the kids over the Easter weekend, especially the younger ones.

Treasure hunts are always popular and there’s no reason that you can’t hold your own around the house and garden.  Hide a set of little treats and make a map or a series of clues for the kids to follow to track down each treat.  Remember to include the same number of treats in each spot as children to avoid any arguments.

The egg and spoon race is a mainstay of Easter games and there’s no reason why you can’t hold your own.  Hard boil an egg for each child (and you can use them for salads afterwards if they survive in one piece).  Everyone gets an egg and a spoon and the idea is to run as quickly as possible to the finish line without dropping the egg.

Make your cash go further

Because Easter can be a costly time of the year, it also helps to remember those little tips that make your cash go further.  While the children will want an Easter egg for Easter Sunday, limit them to one each.  Then pop to the stores on Monday as you know there will be lots of discounts and multi-buy offers.  Then you can dish out eggs during the holidays to avoid chocolate overload or as part of your games.

Use websites to check out the best deals on Easter egg prices before you buy any.  Web sites such as MySupermarket and MyVoucherCodes will tell you what prices eggs are at the different shops and often offer vouchers for stores that helps with the cost.  You might even spot one for a luxury chocolate store to treat the adults as well as the kids!

Best Cars and SUVs for Families

Whether your family includes a new teenage driver who’s going to want your keys, or you’re still figuring out how to install that first car seat, there are a number of things you’ll want in a new family vehicle. When it comes to picking out the perfect family vehicle, safety and available seating and storage space are probably at the top of your list of things to consider. You’ll also want a good value and mpg rating so your family budget won’t be strained.

Here are a few of the best cars and SUVs for families. They all consider safety, value, space, and versatility so that your vehicle can be a part of your family through so many stages of growing up.

2017 Honda CR-V

The CR-V as you know it has been redesigned for 2017 and as expected it doesn’t disappoint. For a compact SUV, it has the most passenger and cargo space of any other vehicle in its class. A blend of safety and convenience features really make this SUV a favorite. A hands-free liftgate lets you juggle bags and babies effortlessly. Lane Keeping Assist, forward collision warning and automatic braking make it easy for you to stay safe while being distracted by the family. Add in the average 28 to 34 mpg and low entry price of about $24,000 and it’s easy to see why the CR-V is a long-time favorite.

2017 Chevy Tahoe

This powerhouse SUV is perfect for a family that likes to travel in luxury. Features like wireless mobile charging, an enhanced rear-seat entertainment system, tri-zone climate control and seating and storage for up to 9 people make this such a comfortable and enjoyable ride. Take the family and all your toys on a trip and tow up to 8,600 pounds. You’ll also get the Teen Driver feature that’s notable in Chevy vehicles so you’ll know your teen will be safer behind the wheel. Your mpg will average between 16 and 23, but this isn’t bad since you’re practically driving around in a small luxury apartment on wheels in the Tahoe.

2017 Kia Soul

This smaller but spacious car has won the U.S. News Best Compact Car for Families award for two years in a row now. It has the perfect blend of features that make it desirable for everyone in your family. Your teenager will have too much fun with the turbocharged engine, while your new baby’s seat will fit in perfectly with room to spare. If you need to take grandpa to the doctor in something he can get in and out of easily, the lower height of this vehicle is for you. Starting in at around $16,000 for a new model and having between 25 to 30 mpg on average, this is an excellent budget-friendly option.

2017 Chevrolet Malibu

This spacious sedan won the U.S. News award for being the Best Midsize Car for Families for two years in a row, and averages an impressive 36 mpg on the highway. Teen Driver technology makes it a top choice for families with a new driver. This built-in system lets you set things like speed alerts, volume limits for the radio, and a driving “report card” so you can track your teen’s driving even when you aren’t there. Technology like Apple Car Play will keep the adults happy, too. If you have a baby and a busy lifestyle, the new Rear Seat Reminder system will make sure you never forget you have kids in the back seat, even if they’re being so quiet you forgot they were there. As if that would ever happen…

2017 Subaru Outback

If your family loves adventuring, the Outback is one of the best choices. The all-wheel drive will let you safely explore almost any type of terrain, while the roomy interior will fit everyone comfortably. Features like side and rear head airbags, rear body air bags and a blind spot monitor up the safety, while an average mpg of 32 on the highways will stretch your family fuel budget even further. These affordable vehicles also have an excellent reputation and resale value if you decide to upgrade to something else in the future, or buy a used one instead of a new 2017 model. All around, you can’t go wrong with a Subaru as your family vehicle.

Why Sleepwear Can Be Fun and Practical

There are lots of wonderful things about your children growing up but one of the downsides is that you need to be a little more careful around them.  For many people, sleeping in the nude is common place but as kids get a little older, sometimes this can be a bit awkward so parents turn to sleepwear.  But the good news is that sleepwear can be fun as well as practical when you look at sexy lingerie website 3Wishes.

Shalimar range

One of the ranges you can see on 3wishes.com is called the Shalimar range and this includes items for both men and women.  All the items use a sexy, stylish black satin style material that looks great and is very easy to wear.  It is also ideal for all times of the year, allowing the skin to breath and to help you keep an even temperature, even if the kids join you.

The Shalimar Robe Lingerie Set includes a charmeuse short length kimono robe that comes to around upper thigh length and has a belt to keep it in place.  The robe has three quarter length sleeves and inside ties to make it easy to wear.  Also in the set is the matching babydoll with a low back and adjustable crisscross straps.  The set even comes with a padded lingerie hanger to keep it crease free while not being worn.

Playboy Bunny range

The Playboy Bunny range is perfect for both home and when you go on vacation as it is easy to wear and looks great.  The range features the Playboy rabbit head logo as well as a tiny heart pattern and comes in four different colors – pink/black, lavender/red, white/red and white/black so you can choose by what suits you or what you like.

The Cotton Cami has spaghetti straps and is easy to wear with a waist length and stretchy material.  You can pair it with the Playboy Bunny Dot Pajama Pants that offer comfort and style.  They have a drawstring waist and are made with stretch cotton material.  For those warmer nights, you can swap the pants for the Pajama Shorts, featuring the same Playboy pattern and available in four different sizes.  Finally, if you want something a little sexier for the nights when the kids are staying with friends, go for the Playboy Bunny Hot Pants.  These are hipster style with the pink bunny at the thigh and are made from stretchy soft cotton.
