Yes Head Hunters. Now don't think of an image of some guy hunting your head.But Yes it is.Most of the premium jobs around the world is filled up by Private Head Hunters.Recent surveys says that 70% of the job never reach the market as they are already filled by Head Hunters.
Now what is Head Hunter?
The answer to this is Head Hunter is a person who is in higher authority of the company or a group or organization who has pretty good knowledge of keeping personal relation ship's and thus when a job opening comes up , these Head Hunter use there PR to hunt down some men they know and that's it the job is filled.
Think of a executive job opening when there is a opening for a team lead or a manager in a company .No company advertise it for the 1st week or may be month ,the reason behind is others may be manager or higher level executives use there contacts and call in some of the people whom they have worked for and offer them the job opening there company has .99% of the time the offer is being accepted by there contacts result the person who had offered them the the job had just earned 1 month of his salary by referring him to the company.So do always keep in mind no matter if you are just 1 month old or 3 years old in the company if you find that your manager is leaving .Try to push your leg by asking your company senior to promote you .
The company will never say no as they know that you have the talent you are working for .So you may have a 50-50 chance to kick into yours managers or your team lead shoes.
Most of the people whom i have worked with don't even bother to think about it becz of the myth that they can only excel by changing job , well from now on try doing this and if your company says no find another job and put down your papers , the company will on its knees to retain you hence you will be in the part of negotiating the job you do the salary you get and many other things.
Always remember that people in your past hasn't made with you in your present becz they don't deserve .
What i have learn t in my previous job experience back in India was "Love your work , Not you Company".
So next time you see your old boss do remind him that you still exists and are willing to change your job.Who know he might be able to help you out.
Comments would be appreciated.

Getting a job in IT field
Most of the people i have met so far are having a mixed experience in all the fields in IT.But what they don't understand is that you only have to be good in just one field .Lets say take the Data field in IT all i hear is some doing SQL or Oracle or Sysbase ... all these are a part of data field but limited to what they are trying to achieve.If a person wants to become a data base administrator he should know what a data base administrator do.The way he can know is search for key words in Google for data base administrator job description,check out the website which have salary survey for DBA(data base administrator) understand what this field is about and then go ahead with the right step to proceed .
IT is a vast field there is always a job for every kind of IT stuff we have.One of another branch of Data jobs in IT is data analysis or business analytic s jobs .Now most of the people I have worked with don`t even know a world that exists outside of there work environment.SAS is one of the biggest player in data or business analytic s , they have there technology to process and to analyze the data ,model data and many other .So instead of taking a college education of 4 years and then learn just the basics of all language its better to just do a programmer certification in SAS or an analyst certification SAS and start working as a data analyst , for sure will get a job .SAS has a huge market share in data analytic s so there are always jobs which need SAS programmers or SAS data modeler .
All i am saying is while considering taking a debt from and doing your course in a college or university if you know what you have to do, they why not go directly for it.
FACT- that companies never look out for education in any fields all they look is if u can work and make money for them.
Do leave comments .I would appreciate suggestions.

Hydrogen Fuel Cell Cars H2ICE
Hydrogen Fuel Cars
Hydrogen cars are not only the future, they are here, now. When hydrogen cars become the status quo, the U. S. can lessen its dependence upon foreign oil, achieve lower prices at the fuel pumps and cut down on the greenhouse gases that produce global warming. The future of hydrogen cars is not a pipe dream, as there are already many hydrogen fuel cell cars and H2ICE vehicles on the roads. California, Japan and the European Union (especially Germany) have many hydrogen fuel cars being used as fleet vehicles now.
Hydrogen Fuel Cell Cars
Hydrogen Fuel Cell Cars
In 2005, Honda leased the first commercial hydrogen car to a family in Redondo Beach, California, (pictured above). In 2008, the Honda FCX Clarity became the first production line built hydrogen fuel cell lease vehicle rolled out to the same family plus dozens others.
For the past 28 years, the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) has been conducting research on hydrogen fuel cells for use in transportation, industry and residential use. According to the LANL, "Hydrogen & Fuel Cell Research at Los Alamos has made significant technological advances in Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) fuel cells, Direct Methanol Fuel Cells (DMFC), and related technologies such as the electrolyzer (a fuel cell in reverse, liberating hydrogen from electricity and pure water)."
Unlike many of the hybrid and "green" cars currently on the market, hydrogen fuel can offer the promise of zero emission technology, where the only byproduct from the cars is water vapor. Current fossil-fuel burning vehicles emit all sorts of pollutants such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrous oxide, ozone and microscopic particulate matter. Hybrids and other green cars address these issues to a large extent but only hydrogen cars hold the promise of zero emission of pollutants. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that fossil-fuel automobiles emit 1 ½ billion tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere each year and going to hydrogen fuel based transportation would all but eliminate this.
Not only that, hydrogen cars will lessen the United States' dependence upon foreign oil. The so-called "hydrogen highway" will mean less dependence upon OPEC, the big U. S. oil companies, oil refinery malfunctions and breakdowns and less resistance from oil-selling nations like Venezuela and Saudi Arabia or from hostile nations who would rather sell elsewhere.
H2ICE Fuel Car
Consumers will finally get a break from the never-ending rising prices at the gasoline pumps.
President Bush when he was in office allocated approximately $2 billion in hydrogen highway research funds. California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger was pushing to get 200 hydrogen filling stations built by 2010 stretching from Vancouver, British Columbia, all the way down to Baja, California (but has fallen short of this goal because of a poor economy and lack of political will).
Since Californians buy one-fifth of the nation's cars, the new hydrogen car technology could replace the current gasoline engine automobiles in what is called "disruptive technology" where something so innovative comes along it simply replaces the old technology very quickly.
Then again, a more likely scenario is that dual-fuel automotive systems will be developed that can run on either gasoline or hydrogen fuel as the hydrogen infrastructure is being developed. The conversion from gasoline-powered internal combustion engines to hydrogen powered combustion engines is agreed upon by most scientists and engineers to be a particularly easy transition and would buy time for hydrogen fuel cell cars to be fully adapted.
But, hydrogen cars are not isolated to those that burn the fuel in internal combustion engines (H2ICE). There are more hydrogen fuel cell cars being built currently than any other kind.
Hydrogen Fuel Car
Let's also not forget about hydrogen-on-demand vehicles that are either using a hydrogen compound or electrolyzing water to create H2, avoiding the compressed or liquid hydrogen refueling scenario altogether. And, what about adapting hydrogen peroxide for fuel in car since it is currently being used in racecars and jet packs as a propellant?
Hydrogen cars are the future, so why not take a test drive of this website right now and see what you'll be driving a few short years from now. With Germany, Japan, Norway and the U. S. in the hunt, the hydrogen economy is just around the bend. Will you be ready?

Ford Adding New Jobs for Making Hybride Cars
Ford Motor Company –moving to create a center of excellence in Michigan for vehicle electrification – today announced it is investing $135 million to design, engineer and produce key components for the company’s next-generation hybrid-electric vehicles.
Ford engineers in Dearborn will design the battery packs while engineers in Livonia will design electric-drive transaxles for the next-generation hybrids, based on Ford’s global C- and CD-car platforms, which go into production in North America in 2012.
“Electrified vehicles are a key part of our plan to offer a full lineup of green vehicles, and we are building a center of excellence in the U.S., here in Michigan, to keep Ford on the cutting edge,” said Mark Fields, Ford’s president of The Americas. “Today’s announcement is another important step in our larger strategy to launch a family of hybrids, plug-in hybrids and full electric vehicles around the world.”
Ford’s Rawsonville Plant in Ypsilanti, Mich., will assemble the battery packs beginning in 2012, moving work to Michigan that is currently performed in Mexico by a supplier. Ford’s Van Dyke Transmission Plant in Sterling Heights, Mich., will build the electric drive transaxles beginning in 2012 from a supplier facility in Japan. Ford is adding a combined 170 jobs at the Rawsonville and Van Dyke facilities to build these key components.
“I am proud of the tremendous success of the UAW and Ford in working together to keep good manufacturing jobs in the U.S.,” said Bob King, UAW vice president, National Ford Department. “We are pleased that both Rawsonville and Van Dyke Transmission have been selected to produce these important components for Ford's next generation hybrid-electric vehicles. These new products will help the community and local economy in Michigan by creating 170 new direct jobs at Ford and hundreds of other supporting jobs in the community, while helping to reduce emissions that cause air pollution and global warming.”
Center of Excellence in Michigan
Ford’s creation of a center of excellence for vehicle electrification in Michigan now includes the design and manufacture of electrified key components as well as total vehicle manufacturing for hybrids, plug-in hybrids and battery-electric vehicles. Ford is adding more than 50 engineers to work on electrification as we bring these technologies in-house. By physically bringing research, engineering and manufacturing closer together, Ford, its suppliers, universities and related industries can drive both innovation and job growth in this evolving form of transportation.
“We're working hard to make Michigan the center for electrified vehicle technology and production,” said Michigan Gov. Jennifer M. Granholm. “Today’s announcement by Ford represents another step forward in moving Michigan from the Rust Belt to the Green Belt by investing in green technology and creating green jobs."
Ford’s in-house team will design and engineer the advanced lithium-ion battery systems powering its next-generation hybrid vehicles. These battery systems will be designed specifically for the company’s next-generation hybrids, including the new global CD-car platform hybrid and the new global C-car platform hybrid, which will be built at Ford’s Michigan Assembly Plant in 2012.
To support battery pack assembly at the Rawsonville Plant, Ford will invest approximately $10 million in capital equipment and add about 40 jobs. Ford’s investment also supports the necessary engineering and launch costs for the advanced battery systems.
“Southeast Michigan has the talented, skilled work force that can turn 21st Century visions into reality. I am delighted that Ford will expand its presence in our area with a new operation critical to the company’s future,” said U.S. Congressman John Dingell. These are the jobs that will revitalize our region, strengthen our environment and allow us here in Southeast Michigan to power the high-tech economy of the 21st Century. This is the kind of announcement that shows the green shoots of our economic recovery.”
Hybrid Electric Drive Transmission
Ford also will internally design and engineer an electric, front-wheel-drive, continuously variable transaxle to supply its next-generation hybrid-electric and plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles in North America. Beginning in early 2012, Ford’s Van Dyke Transmission Plant in Sterling Heights, Mich., will produce the HF35 transaxle. Current model electric-drive transaxles are provided by a supplier in Japan.
To launch the new transaxle, Ford will add engineering and production jobs in Southeast Michigan, including about 130 manufacturing jobs at its Van Dyke facility, while investing about $125 million. The investment includes a grant received from the Department of Energy to help create green technology jobs in the U.S. This investment includes manufacturing capital equipment, launch and engineering costs and supplier tooling upgrades, all required to support the production launch of the HF35 transaxle.
Ford’s Electrified Future
Ford's global electrification strategy includes plans to launch five new full electric or hybrid vehicles in the compact, midsize and light commercial segments for the North American market by 2012 and European markets by 2013. This lineup includes:
* The Transit Connect Electric light commercial vehicle in North America later this year and in Europe in 2011
* The Focus Electric in North America in 2011 and in Europe in 2012
* A Lincoln MKZ hybrid, available this fall in North America
* A next-generation hybrid electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicle based on Ford's global C-car platform in North America in 2012
* A C-MAX hybrid electric and plug-in hybrid electric model for Europe in 2013
“Electrified vehicles are one part of Ford’s broader strategy to offer a wide range of environmentally friendly transportation solutions designed to improve fuel economy and lower CO2 emissions affordably for customers around the world,” said Nancy Gioia, Ford’s director of global electrification.

Toyota Prius
Sales of gas-electric cars jumped nearly 20 percent in May, compared to last month, outpacing the overall vehicle market that increased by 12.3 percent. Sales of the 2010 Toyota Prius, which continues to make up half of all hybrid purchases, increased by 13.5 percent to 14,248 units—despite a relatively poor showing by the entire Toyota brand. Industry observers believe that Toyota has yet to overcome negative publicity from safety recalls earlier this years, yet car shoppers are apparently excusing the Toyota Prius from those quality concerns.
Sales of the Ford Fusion Hybrid accelerated by a whopping 64 percent to 2,486 units. Ford also added nearly 25 percent more sales of the Ford Escape Hybrid. At this point, Ford has decisively leapfrogged Honda to become the number two seller of hybrid cars. Toyota owns 68 percent of the hybrid market; Ford holds 14 percent; and Honda has dropped to nearly 9 percent of hybrid car sales. The upcoming Honda CR-Z hybrid might help the company regain the second place spot—and Honda executives are promising a clean-slate approach for future hybrids.
Sales of the Altima hybrid, which is only available in eight states, soared by 253 percent. It’s unclear if publicity about the company’s all-electric Nissan Leaf helped raise the green perception of the entire Nissan brand.
BMW shipped the first 7 units of its $103,000 ActiveHybrid 7. Those units, combined with 12 reported sales of the BMW X6, reveal the company’s half-hearted efforts with hybrids. General Motors and Mercedes haven’t fared much better.
Clean diesel sales were up by 8.4 percent to 6,961 units in May compared to last month. Volkswagen continues to dominate clean diesel sales with nearly 80 percent of the market, led by the Jetta TDI, which single-handedly is responsible for 62 percent of all clean diesel purchases.
Despite the rebound in May, hybrid gas-electric cars continue to lag behind the overall market in year-to-date sales, with an 8.5 percent increase so far in 2010 over last year—compared to a 17.2 percent increase in the overall market. That’s not a big surprise, considering that average U.S. gas prices are about 20 cents lower than this time last year. Public outrage over the Gulf oil spill has created a latent demand for fuel-efficient or petroleum-free alternatives—but as long as gas is cheap, sales of hybrids, clean diesel and upcoming plug-in cars will be dampened. If and when gas prices start to climb, Toyota and Ford will be well positioned with hybrids, and Volkswagen with clean diesel vehicles.

Cars.
Since this is a blog about education so lets educate some about cars.
I personal a big fan of Honda and Toyota the only thing which attracts me is low maintenance and big saving's on fuel.
keep reading as i post some of the important facts about buying and driving a Hybrid car.

How are you going to pay for school?
Well I am a international student and i have been paying my college 3 times what a national candidate would pay for the education.Now when a topic comes up saying how are we going to pay for the school.Well for international students after arriving to Canada and studying for 6 months they can apply for a off-campus work permit.
For most of the student will try to get a job through a job agency is not going to work.Most of them will call you in take your resume do the interview and say they are not having any opening's right now and will call when they have.
The best option is to get a job in the college itself. That's far better than all the hazels of the agency.
I will be back with more information as how to get a job once you are a graduate.Till then keep reading my posts & do comment.
