“I want to DIE! That dumb boy scout should have his Eagle revoked! It was a blazing hot day, and I learned a lesson I will never forget. I had to learn it the hard way, just like these 7 Stupid Outsourcing Mistakes... I live in the heart of the Rockies. My wife Kim and I love to spend time together hiking. Since I only work 17 hours a week (thanks to outsourcing) we hike regularly. That particular afternoon, we were excited to try out a new trail. We drove to the base of a mountain just a few miles from our house. It’s smaller in scale and we were sure we could reach the top in time to watch the sunset over the valley. We started up the trail at a steady pace. But a glitch in the trail quickly wore us out. The trail was blazed straight up the mountain, sheer incline. No curves, no switchbacks. AND, after we had forged our way about a quarter of the way up the mountain... the trail stopped. No more sawed-off branches. No more pink ribbons tied to trees to mark the path. No more rest stops. It was like the boy scout just gave up and went home. We should’ve done the same thing, but we didn’t. We really wanted to see the sunset from the summit. Just to give you an idea of how difficult the trail was: it took us 2 hours to climb 1.2 miles. It was 3,500 feet up. That’s right, 1.2 miles long, 3,500 feet up. That’s like climbing 3,500 stairs without stopping. We eventually made it to the top, but we missed the sunset... I got spanked - just like 90% of small businesses in their first five years of operation. 70% of new small businesses don’t live to fight ‘the mountain’ past the first year! Outsourcing will rescue your time, your sanity and your business. And if you’re one of the lucky few who’s already doing well, outsourcing will give you more freedom and time to scale your business. But you have to do it the right way. Here’s a list of 7 Stupid Mistakes to avoid when outsourcing to the Philippines. I learned from all of these mistakes the hard way, so you don’t have to. If you haven’t made your first hire yet, you have nothing to lose. Get started by posting a job or searching our worker profile database. Happy Hiring, John Jonas and the OnlineJobs.ph Team |

As you narrow your field of potential hirees, use specific questions to find the brightest and most capable candidates.
And don’t forget about experience/skill-specific questions. Allow the candidate to talk about their skills and experience—what systems and programs they know and how well they know them, how long they’ve performed those tasks, and their past work experience. |
