Fishing in Stocked Ponds and Resume Writing From the Company Perspective...

Fishing in Stocked Ponds and Resume Writing From the Company Perspective...Fishing in Stocked Ponds and Resume Writing From the Company Perspective...Where would you rather fish, folks? In a big ocean with a flimsy rod and reel from a little rowboat, or in a small pond over-stocked with the best, tastiest fish on the planet using the most advanced fish finders from a comfortable boat (and, yes, lets say the beer cooler is stocked, too).Well, read on, and Ill tell you how the answer to that question is also the answer to the fastest way to find your next job.Ive just returned from California, folks I love driving through that great state, and the opportunity to spread Ladders.com message all the way across the airwaves made it a heck of lot of fun. We should have clips for you next week, but suffice it to say we had great conversations on air in San Diego, Los Angeles, and San Francisco (and with papers such as The L.A. Times, San Francisco Chronicle, and The Wall Street Journal).This is an important part of what we do, because we work for you, our Readers.Our now 262,000 Readers represent the cream of the nations crop in sales, marketing, law, finance, technology, operations, HR, and every other discipline.And our job here at Ladders.com, which we take very seriously, is help you find your next job as quickly, as painlessly, and at the highest compensation level, possible.So getting the word out to more and more employers about Ladders.com is a great way for us to help get you there quicker. And even though were already the largest resource for $100K+ jobs on the planet, by far, we?re not going to rest on our heels while even one of our Readers is still looking.So why does Ladders.com work?Well, I was the SVP, Finance Operations at HotJobs.com, and led our sale to Yahoo in 2002. I learned a lot at the 2 job motherboard about how people really get jobs. I also learned a lot about how people don?t get jobs.You see, the big job boards are great for middle-market jobs. These jobs are middling desirable and are filled by mid-level people. For the folks hiring and the folks being hired, at this level it works really, really well.Where the big job boards fail is at the high-level jobs.Because its free for applicants to apply, what do you think happens when you put a really great CMO job up there? Or a fantastic VP Sales, or CFO or Global Systems Manager job?Well, if youve ever been on the receiving end of a firehose (or maybe dumptruck is the better analogy), you?d have a pretty good sense of what recruiters feel like when theyre brave, foolish, or na Ive enough to post great jobs on those middle market boards. Wham They get inundatedNow, my direct phone number is still on our press releases (memo to self change that). But the happy consequence of this is that I still get a lot of calls directly from subscribers and recruiters. And I love to ask recruiters what they think of the system.To a person, they tell me Ladders.com is the greatest inter net resource theyve ever found. The candidates are targeted, the candidates are high-class, and the volume of applications is really reasonable (in fact, the typical job posting on Ladders.com only gets 15 applications versus hundreds on the big job boards).And thats why recruiters love us. Were free, unlike the big job boards, and weve got the best candidates on the planet right here.And thats why recruiters come fishing at Ladders.coms pond. Its easy for them to land the big one. Just like youd pay to fish in a stocked pond (or, I suppose, in this case, youre paying to be the fish in the stocked pond), recruiters post their jobs with Ladders.com because weve stacked the odds way in their favor.So happy fishing, er, nibbling, Readers. Weve got over 4,500 all-new jobs from companies all over this great land of ours. So lets get at it

Engineering with the Animals

Engineering with the Animals Engineering with the Animals Engineering with the AnimalsThe zoo provides endless entertainment for children and adults alike, and has become a common diversion in the US and around the globe. However, few know how much engineering goes into these facilities. Both Len Lundquist and Lewis Anderson are well aware of what goes into a successful zoo, having worked on their share of zoo projects with LKPB Engineers, Inc.In fact, one institution they worked with quite closely welches the Como Zoo, in St. Paul, Minnesota. A big aspect of that project was working with the polar bears. It the habitat was a salt-based system, so we had the challenges to work with the water filtration system. There were the challenges with salt and corrosion and, with polar bears, we had to work around issues relating to cold weather, Anderson says. This was a year-round exhibit, so piping systems and heating systems have to be able to function and pass through areas that might be s ubject to minus 40 Farenheit.But there was also off-exhibit workthat had a den for a female polar bear to go ahead and have a cub, Lundquist explains. That required a focus on the air-handling units to maintain a temperature of around 60 degrees. The air-handling unit is susceptible to very cold temperatures inside the unit, so we then had to specify a complete thermal grade air handling. In warm weather we didnt want to transfer that cold air atmosphere out to the exterior, Lundquist says. Because the temperatures in Minnesota will get to 92 degrees with high humidity and you avoid condensation that way.At Como Zoo Polar Bear Odyssey in Saint Paul, Minnesota. ansehen LKPB EngineersThe polar bears in the off-exhibit area are sensitive to sound and they make sure if they do have rooftop air-handling systems that ventilate the area that they have sound and vibration control. We have emergency generator backup and its about 100 feet away from the building so they dont upset the polar b ear with regard to sound and noise, Lundquist says.But theres a quarantine area to content with, where they take mammals when they are sick or under care of a veterinarian. For the HVAC system, you have to create the negative pressures within the holding area and the filtration is better, Lundquist says. Its more severe or a higher percentage of filtration, like a hospital isolation room.There are indoor exhibit areas that need dehumidification to help with the moisture, says Lundquist. With the air-handling systems or ventilation systems, you have one for the people who are visiting the zoo and one for the off-exhibit area where the dens are because you have these odors. You dont want to transfer them from back in the house to visitors. In winter time, for the viewing area, we have the ability to bring in dry, cooler, outside air and that will dehumidify it.Anderson says they also built the system to recirculate. For example, fiberglass pumps are used against corrosion. After all, you dont want salt in the city sewer and want to retain as much of it as you can from a pollution standpoint and economic standpoint. Theres a whole intricate system of filtration and backwashing to recover as much saltwater as possible and put it back into the exhibit, Anderson says.Eric Butterman is an independent writer.
