I need a better way to find employeesQ: I own a small business. I usually post on Craigslist or free job board sites when I am trying to hire someone. I can't say I've had the best luck. Any ideas what I can try? A: Here's my secret weapon: LinkedInJobs. You might think of it as just a networking site, but there are so many qualified candidates on LinkedIn looking for work. You choose your own budget and you can go head-to-head with big companies to find the best talent. In fact, LinkedIn says 87% of professionals are interested in joining a small business. |
Help! These robocalls are driving me up the wallQ: I get multiple robocalls every day and I'm so sick of it. What can I do? A: I hate robocalls and junk mail. They're often a sign of higher identity theft risk. Why? Because it means your private information is on marketing lists, easily available for purchase. Protecting your identity has never been more crucial. I use Identity Guard for the best identity theft protection, and now it's solving the root causes of privacy issues. For a limited time, Identity Guard is giving you its junk mail and robocall stopper add-on for free with the purchase of an Identity Guard plan. Plans start at less than $7 a month. Get 33% off at IdentityGuard.com/Kim. |
How do I remember all these passwords?Q: I write my passwords on a Post-it stuck to my monitor. I know that's dumb, but a password manager seems like a hassle. Who wants my passwords anyway? A: Writing down your passwords isn't worth the risk. You never know who might get their hands on that Post-it and get access to all your accounts. Luckily, password managers make protecting yourself online really easy. Setup is a snap, and no more writing down passwords or hoping you remember them all. Check out RoboForm. |
