Maine Prep Expands to Portland, Maine

Maine’s premier SAT and ACT prep company has helped thousands of students raise their SAT and ACT scores.

Portland, Maine (PRWEB) August 30, 2008

Maine Prep, Maine’s largest SAT and ACT prep company, is expanding its business to include SAT prep classes for high school students in Portland, Maine. The new classes will take place at Deering High School, 370 Stevens Avenue, Portland, Maine.

The eight-session Maine Prep course, designed to teach students strategies to use in the math, writing and reading sections of the SAT, begins Thursday, September 4, 6:00 p.m., and will meet every Monday and Thursday evening from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. until October 2. The Maine Prep classes prepare students for the Fall SAT and PSAT tests.

Maine Prep, located at 22 Parker’s Way, Brunswick, Maine 04011 (http://www.maineprep.com), was founded by test prep professional Jack Mahoney to help Maine students raise standardized test scores and be more competitive when applying for college admission and financial aid. “I improved my overall score by 380 points,” says Moira Yoe of North Yarmouth Academy and now a student at Williams College. “I am sure part of it was becoming familiar with the test – which kept my overall anxiety down, but another part of it was Maine Prep’s help.”

Jack Mahoney is a native New Englander who, after winning five games on Jeopardy! in 1992-93, took a job teaching test preparation for Stanley Kaplan Educational, the world’s largest test prep company. For Kaplan, Jack taught SAT, ACT, GRE, GMAT, LSAT, and other standardized tests before becoming a trainer of new Kaplan teachers in the New York Metro area. Moving to Maine in 2002, Jack began working with private students and writing the Maine Prep curriculum, TEN FOR TEN. Under Jack’s leadership, Maine Prep has expanded to include ten teachers who work with over 300 students a year in full classes or private tutoring courses. Maine Prep has become “the fastest growing small business I’ve ever seen,” according to Topsham, Maine CPA Lorraine Darling.

The company is celebrating its seventh year of test prep services. In addition to Portland, Maine Prep holds classes and private tutoring in seven different Maine locations, including Bangor, Falmouth, Brunswick, Kennebunkport, Lewiston/Auburn, Cape Elizabeth and Kents Hill. “Ten for Ten,” the curriculum developed by Maine Prep, is now a credit course taught as part of the school day at Lewiston High School, South Portland High School and Bridgton Academy.

Innovative Job Finding System Now Available to Help Millions with their New Year’s Resolution to Find the Perfect Job

Vancouver, BC (PRWEB) January 9, 2009

In this time of high unemployment and massive lay-offs, finding the perfect job may sound like a pipedream. But it really is possible to find a job where you are appreciated for who you are, and where you are set free to work from your strengths and passions. Your dream job may be closer than you think.

Pam Jonsson’s new “R4 Great Job! Finder” is a unique career search program that gives professionals the tools to find jobs that are a perfect fit for their skills, interests, talents and temperament.

“Most professionals are willing to accept ‘the luck of the draw’ when it comes to their job satisfaction,” says Pam Jonsson of Job Satisfaction Career Pro, “especially if they work in high stress jobs.” She goes on to say, “They just resign themselves to doing the best they can with a tough situation. In fact, they’re famous for ‘toughing it out’.”

Jonsson maintains that job stress, leading to job burnout, not only hurts your health, but eventually leads to job performance problems.

Jonsson believes that professional job satisfaction is both necessary and normal. She advocates “taking job satisfaction into your own hands” and notes that, “If you search ‘job satisfaction’ on Google, you’ll find mainly sites with resources for employers. I’d never put my job satisfaction in the hands of an employer, or anyone else, for that matter. And nobody needs to. At Job Satisfaction Career Pro, our clients have proven time and again that there are jobs that deliver on the promise of job satisfaction, in almost every industry. You just have to know how to find them. And that’s exactly what we teach.”

Job Satisfaction Career Pro’s “R4 Great Job! Finder” system not only guides job seekers as they research which jobs are right for them. It also cuts through all the red tape that stymies people during their traditional job searches. The system gives them the tools to tap into the hidden job market – with a twist.

With the launch of the new “R4 Great Job! Finder” system, Jonsson has made it her mission to spread the word and help millions of professionals find their dream job.

Job Satisfaction Career Pro was established in 2007 to “Improve Job Satisfaction for professionals by teaching them a unique and powerful method for finding and hiring the employer of their dreams”. In late 2008, the System was made available to a wider audience through online courses, delivered via the company website.

Westbrook, ME (PRWEB) December 2, 2005

Using JobsInNH.com’s marketing capabilities and its local resources, the NHNA will offer professional development opportunities for a typically underserved job seeker — the Registered Nurse.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of registered nurses is expected to grow faster than the average for all occupations through 2012, resulting in many new nursing jobs. In fact, more new jobs are expected to be created for RNs than for any other occupation.

Through the power of the Internet, nurses will be encouraged to login to a dedicated welcome page on JobsInNH.com, set up an account, post their resume, create career agent job searches that run automatically, find jobs in the database and apply online — all for free. The welcome page will also show how to best take advantage of the site and list upcoming educational events.

The first local partnership of its kind for NHNA, it will offer many benefits, including:

    Discounts on JobsInNH.com employer subscriptions to all healthcare organizations that are, or want to become, organizational members of the NHNA.

    Seminars on non-clinical, nurse management skills, such as: team leadership, human resources skills, recruiting and business management.

    JobsInNH.com-sponsored regional conferences four times per year.

    An easy-to-use website as a major nursing career resource.

“JobsInNH.com is proud to be working with the NHNA in this capacity,” Erin Kroll, JobsInNH.com Event and Community Marketing Representative, said. “We look forward to helping NHNA expand their membership through our combined marketing efforts, while offering new, valuable technology and resources that will help to aid and advance the professional development of New Hampshire’s nurses.”

“There’s more to offer nurses who are looking for employment than the typical barrage of recruiters seeking to fill open positions” Bob Best, NHNA’s Executive Director, said. “We hope this partnership will provide real value to nurses by teaching individuals to be savvy candidates for the jobs they really want. With JobsInNH.com and NH Nurses’ Association working together, we can help nurses know what makes an organization a great place to work, learn leadership and managerial skills, and learn how to obtain that job they’d always hoped would come their way.”    

About NHNA

Founded in 1906, the New Hampshire Nurses’ Association was created by six nurses who incorporated the New Hampshire Association of Graduate Nurses. NHNA will celebrate its 100th Anniversary on October 3, 2006. Today, NHNA’s work includes continuing education, membership surveys, recognition award programs, promoting nursing as a career and legislative lobbying.

Insurance Attorney Jobs

Insurance Attorney Jobs

Some decades back, there was a need realized to meet the increasing public restlessness about jobs not giving any compensation for any injuries. This was taken up by the federal authorities discussed and then the new concept of insurance was born. Though it existed hundreds of years ago, but then there was hardly anyone who knew about it and did not put it in paper and as a business.

Insurance companies thrived on the public money – because they knew that all their investors wouldn’t die or suffer injuries together and hence they could afford to make the compensation to a few.

But then greed started creeping in and often companies would find reasons to decline the insurance coverage of their customers. Again a need was born for someone who could argue against them logically and would help them gain the amount for which the people were insured.

Areas of work of attorney insurance jobs

•    Coverage and Claims: The main job of an insurance attorney involves the study and research on the coverage and the claims of the insurance policy and that of the concerned company. Many a times, companies fool innocent people and deny them their claims, citing company rules and regulations – this is where the insurance attorney jumps in.

•    Health Insurance: More people are subscribing to health insurance; therefore there is a growing problem in claims made too. Health insurance companies are the cleverest of the lot and have many clauses that they cite to deny their claim. When asked discreetly, they say that since they are here to do business and start providing claims to everyone, they have to force the shutters close – Mainly because almost all the people they cover have some or the other medical complication.

An attorney here will help the affected patient or their relatives to ask for claim for the patient.

•    Automobile Insurance: Needless to say, you will have to have some knowledge about the working of a motor vehicle and the type you specialize in. During accidents, it will be your responsibility to see to it that your customer, the claimant gets what they should and are not taken for a ride by the insurance company.

Truly, necessity is the mother of invention and thus attorneys were called to help the insurance sector too. Insurance attorneys generally work for the people and help them make their claims and take their demands to the higher authority of the concerned insurance authorities and even the court – if the company defaults on its promise. Since insurance is a sensitive public area, companies now have resorted to taking more careful steps and clear instructions for the benefit of the general masses.
