Unemployment Continues to Climb; Many Parents Are Concerned About the Cost of Preschool Tuition

Published by Damien in Business, Career on October 11th, 2011 | No Comments »

As the unemployment rate climbs to over 9 percent (according to Bureau of Labor Statistics, The Employment Situation: May 2009), many financially strained families may feel pressure to send their young children to preschool. Authors Renee and Mike Mosiman help those parents who choose not to send their young children to school in their new book, “The Smarter Preschooler: Unlocking Your Child’s Intellectual Potential” (ISBN: 978-0-9816426-5-9).

The authors provide practical advice to parents, supported by the latest research, about boosting their child’s intellect. Their user-friendly book demonstrates how parents can help their children build verbal skills, enhance analytical abilities, and develop early reading skills that set the stage for success in elementary school. The authors also address such topics as how and what to read to a youngster, how different types of play impact early development, and the best environment for preschoolers to develop social skills with their peers.

Even parents who choose to send their children to preschool can benefit from the findings presented in The Smarter Preschooler. The authors believe “Each child has special gifts, and it is the parent’s job to cultivate a child’s talents and strengthen his or her weakness.” They offer many strategies for providing an enriched environment for the intellectual and social development of young children. And experts agree with their advice.

Shirley Wyver, Ph.D., said: “This is a fabulous book…that will enhance the quality of parent-child interactions and ultimately provide the best opportunities for intellectual, social and emotional development.”

Cathy Duffy Reviews: “Plenty of practical suggestions and resource recommendations show parents how to create an intellectually stimulating environment at home that promotes healthy academic, social, physical, and emotional development.”

“The Smarter Preschooler” (ISBN-13: 978-0-9816426-5-9) will be available in book stores nationwide September 1, 2009 for $14.95 and can be purchased today at http://www.TheSmarterPreschooler.com. Media review copies will be provided upon request.

You Have Your Accounting Degree. What’s Next?

Published by Damien in Career, Jobs and Careers on October 3rd, 2011 | No Comments »

They’ve spent years studying finance, auditing, and budgeting. They’ve joined the student chapters of professional associations like the Institute of Management Accountants (IMA) and networked with key practitioners in their community. As many thousands of graduates enter the workforce this month with an accounting degree in hand and a variety of relevant experience under their belts, many ask: “What can I do now?”

Despite the fragile economy, employment of accountants is expected to grow by 18 percent between 2006 and 2016, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, which is faster than the average for all other occupations.

Most accounting positions “fall into four categories: accounting in private industry, public accounting, government jobs, and jobs in nonprofit organizations,” said Sandra B. Richtermeyer, Ph.D., CMA, CPA and incoming Chair-Elect of the IMA Board of Directors, 2009-2010. Many of those positions involve internal accounting, internal or external auditing, tax preparation, and compliance-related responsibilities.

In addition to securing a job, accounting graduates will benefit greatly by connecting with local chapters of professional associations, such as IMA, for example. Professional associations offer the chance to network with peers in the industry as well as stay on top of accounting trends.

“Some graduates are hesitant to get involved with an association their first year out of school, but those who join see the benefits immediately,” said Dr. Richtermeyer, who is also chair of the Department of Accountancy at Xavier University’s Williams College of Business. “Meeting new contacts at various career stages can help graduates benchmark where they want to be in five to ten years.”

Those not graduating in the next few years can get a head start in gaining experience by obtaining internships, getting involved on campus, or volunteering with nonprofit organizations. In addition, Dr. Richtermeyer suggests selecting a minor that complements studies in accounting, such as information technology. Acquiring foreign language skills or learning about entrepreneurship can also help students stand out from their peers.
