Asking these four questions during the recruitment process will help weed out candidates who are wrong for the position.
• “What are your career goals?”
If they clearly don’t align with your company, the candidate is not right for the position.
• “What are you really good at professionally? Please give me some examples.”
This question should be easy for most people to answer. Make sure the qualities mentioned are relevant in your work place.
• “What are you not good at or not interested in? Please give some examples.”
If the candidate has trouble with this question, they may be hiding something - or may genuinely think they don’t have flaws. Decipher if these traits would have a drastically negative impact on your organisation before deciding to go further with the candidate.
• “Who were your last five bosses, how will they rate your performance when we talk with them and why?”
Use a scale of 1-10 and take note of what the candidate says. See how these results match with what the previous bosses do say.

MARKETING TIP
Offer customers immediately after a sale
The best time to target a client is when you are front and centre of their mind. The best time to achieve this is right after they have made a purchase from you.
So the next time a client purchases from your store, stays in your establishment, or transacts with you in any way send them a note thanking them for their business and informing them that upon their return with "this note" they may take advantage of a special offer, such as 10% off their next purchase.
A great idea to ensure the success of this strategy is to create urgency, so remember to include an expiration date. Always sit down.

TAX TIP
Starting from the 2011 tax year, IRD mileage (kilomatage?) rates are 74c per km. The rate applies to all petrol and diesel fuelled vehicles regardless of their cc capacity. This does not include motor cycles.
