What to Look for When Buying Auto Insurance

Posted on March 19, 2015 by Krissyar

I started in the insurance industry back when there were paper applications, we mailed you everything instead of e-mailing it, and your monthly car insurance premium was less than a tank of gas. So needless to say I’ve been around the block a few times when it comes to the insurance industry. When I meet someone new, or a friend buys a car, I always get the same question, “What do I really need to look for when buying car insurance?”

There are quite a few things you want to do when shopping for car insurance. Though price is an important factor, don’t make it the only factor. I’ve had clients call me years after leaving one of my offices, admitting that one of the biggest mistakes they’ve ever made was to leave a good company just because they found it cheaper somewhere else. When it comes to insurance it’s not always ‘you get what you pay for’ but you definitely need to keep that in mind. Saving a few dollars each month could end up costing you hundreds, even thousands of dollars in the long run. Be sure to check the companies satisfaction ratings, company credit rating, as well as insurance grade on your local State Department of Insurance website. Know that not every company is going to make their clients happy all of the time, but getting an overall feel for what the company stands for, as well as their ability and willingness to go above and beyond for their client, is worth the extra few bucks a month. ……..

Changing A Life And Career

Posted on March 18, 2015 by Krissyar

When people are trying to make a change in their lives and careers, they can work for a company like Royal Holiday. These companies provide adventures that are also jobs for many people who like to work in the resort industry. The resort industry is in need of many people to work all over the place, and these resorts are going to allow people to go on a permanent adventure with their brand new job.

The Jobs

There are many jobs all over every resort that are going to allow people to work in an exotic place. These jobs start at the front desk, go to housekeeping and continue all over the property. There are people working in the shops, and there are people working in the restaurants. There are people managing the pool, people who offer child care for parents and management. This is going to allow the people that make their move to the resort so that they can work their way through the ranks of the resort.

The Ladder

When people start in these resorts, they will be able to start in a job that is going to allow them to get working as soon as they arrive. They could work as bellmen at the front desk, or they could work in other parts of the resort. These resorts are very large places that require the help of thousands of people to provide guests with the ideal experience. When people come to work in these places, they will be able to begin a journey up the ranks of the hotel and resort.

The Promotions

When people take these jobs, they will be able to get promotions that put them in management positions throughout the resort chain. People can start in one place, but they can finish in another as they rise through the ranks. There are even those who move so quickly through the organization that they can end up an executive in the main office of the company.

However, most people are going to take promotions until they find a place in the world where they want to settle down. This is the best way to find a place in the world to live that is exotic and exciting. This is a lifestyle that many people do not get to live because they are not working in the resort industry. People can move halfway across the world to work in the resort industry, but they can start a brand new life when they get there.

The people that are willing to make a change in their life can move today to find better work in a place that is far away from home. They can rise through the ranks of a large company, and they can greet guests every day in their job. There are many ways for people to make a change in their lives, but these changes are made with a job and location in mind that is truly unique.

ZucchiniFritterText1 (1)

Directions:

  1. Using the large holes of a box grater, grate zucchini into a medium bowl. Add the salt, lemon zest, chopped parsley, garlic, pepper, and eggs. Mix well to combine. Slowly add flour, stirring so no lumps form.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat until the oil sizzles when you drop a small amount of zucchini mixture into the pan. Carefully drop about 2 tablespoons zucchini mixture into pan; repeat, spacing fritters a few inches apart.
  3. Cook fritters until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Lower heat to medium. Turn fritters, and continue cooking until golden, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer fritters to a plate; set aside in a warm place. Cook remaining zucchini mixture, adding more oil to pan if necessary. Garnish with parsley sprigs and lemon wedges, if desired; serve.
