£/ERS = £4U

ERS has trebled in size in terms of the internal team of highly experienced specialists and consultants, and also in the Client base of industry leading firms, reflected by turnover doubling, thereby bucking the credit crunch/recessionary trend. The Management remain suitably conservative, prudent and cautious, ensuring that ERS’s growth is organic, consistent and sustained.     

Simon Turner, a Senior Consultant for ERS, attributes much of this tangible success to ERS’s deliberate focus on the niche Atomic Power and Nuclear Energy Recruitment specialisations, combined with the strong effort-brings-reward culture and results driven ethos within the ever expanding highly motivated, pro-active and hand picked team at ERS, selected for the professionalism and commitment to excellence.

In addition, Simon attributes much of the success of the firm to the considerable volume of referrals from successfully placed Candidates and very satisfied past and present Clients. In response to this fact, and to acknowledge the value of such referrals from Clients, Candidates and indeed other sources, ERS have introduced a formal referral reward scheme for quality referrals resulting in successfully placed Candidates with new or existing Clients, or for the introduction of an instructing Client on receipt of placement fees for a successful Candidate engagement on contract or permanent basis.

Whilst this is predominantly a tangible ‘thank you’ gesture to acknowledge the value of quality referrals to a growing business in a niche market, the opportunity has been enthusiastically grasped, with rewards ranging from £50 to £500 in value being distributed.

The aesthetics, layout, and even the employees of retail Apple Stores really make for a quality experience. Personally, I have yet to have a bad experience with an Apple Retail Store or the Apple Online Store. As soon as you enter one of these stores, you’re welcomed with a smiling face. Yes, maybe that smiling face is hiding a very hungover employee, but it feels nonetheless genuine. Every Apple Store I've visited has always been well-staffed. There’s always a person to ask if you need assistance, even at the busiest times of day. Apple truly has every facet of consumer need filled with a special position.

The aforementioned greeter is what Apple calls Concierge. Apple describes Concierge as, “The warm welcome comes to life.  Be the first person our customer meets—that sets the tone for the revolutionary shopping experience only Apple can give,” and boy do they have that shopping experience right.

The other type of employee is the specialist. They’re the people who ask if you need help and are always there to fill your needs. If you really need one-to-one help with shopping, you can set an appointment for a Personal Shopping Specialist. This is a true, face-to-face shopping experience. With a Personal Shopping Specialist you don’t have to fight for attention (not that you do at an Apple Store) and don’t feel rushed to make purchases. I’ve had a shopping specialist help me and a friend with an iMac purchase. Never before have we felt so at-ease about a product and not feel buyer-remorse. You have to remember that it is incredibly easy in the retail world to emulate a used car salesman; at the Apple store, there are no cheesy sales pitches or coerced purchases.

One of the most prominent areas (the focus, actually) of the Apple Retail Store, is the Genius Bar. This is what sets Apple apart from the rest of the computer-service chains. The Genius Bar is available to any Apple customer, whether the product is under warranty or not, for troubleshooting of any Apple Product. Appointment-based, the Genius Bar really is an experience in itself. Coming from a world where you build your own PC and have respective warranties for each product, it was mind-blowing to know I could take my Mac to the Genius Bar and get every derivative of it inspected and repaired at one place. There are times when your hardware needs to be shipped off, but most of the time it’s fixed on the spot. Each Genius is fully trained and knows all of the nooks and crannies of a Mac and OS X.

The second component of the Apple Store experience is the Apple Online Store. Here you can get the same experience at a normal Apple Retail Store with the added convenience of sitting at home. The design of the website is very streamlined and it is incredibly easy to find any product. Most, if not all, products in the Apple Online Store have zoomed-in views and Apple/Customer product reviews all in one page. Not only is the shopping experience easy; the checkout procedure is fast and painless.

All of these components of Apple Retail make it really hard not to purchase an Apple product.

This is a great quote because it inspires each of us to continue to learn throughout life and to never be satisfied with our current skill set. Building a broad range of skills throughout life is useful not only for you but it positively impacts those around you. Perhaps we could even build a new definition of 'job security' here. In fact, why don't we throw out the idea of 'job security' (which implies that one must always strive to be impressive at one thing to avoid being laid off) and replace it with an idea of 'multicompetency' which would make an individual employable in many settings. Below is the New Oxford American Dictionary entry for generalist:

generalist |ˈjenərəlist|

noun
a person competent in several different fields or activities : with a generalist's education and some specific skills.
adjective ||
able to carry out a range of activities, or adapt to different situations : a generalist doctor.

While it is true that generalists may be more confident in the job market and better members of their communities and families, I feel like the most important skills of all are those that are useful in defending freedom. This includes being able to run for office, campaign, petition, sue the government, protest, speak out, fire a rifle, vote and everything else that makes a true patriot. We need more people like this in these trying times if we don't want to loose this country to the New World Order once and for all.

Perhaps in a future post I can write about some of the things I know how to do and some of the things that I would like to learn how to do, but for now I will leave my argument unfinished. How do you feel about striving to be a generalist? Do any of you feel like you can do more things well than most people? I sure know that since I stopped watching TV I've started having a lot more time to learn more about the world. I have even learned some great skills along the way.

In conclusion, I understand that generalists can't be good at everything, just many things at once. A few of the things that they should not be competent in are:

• Blindly waving flags
• Trusting the words of politicians over their voting record
• Watching TV
• Reading their history textbooks in high school
• Engaging in the false left-right paradigm
• Drinking fluoridated water
• Having any knowledge whatsoever of Sitcoms or Reality TV shows

URGENT REQUIREMENTS, ALL DISCIPLINES:

Mechanical, Engineering, Electrical, EC&I, Safety, Compliance, Quality Control & Assurance, Process, Business Development, Commercial Management, Project Management, Process, Planning, Design, Structural and Civil Engineering, New Power Plant Build, Construction, Commissioning, Pre-Commissioning, Construction, Site Management, Waste Management, IT, Document Management, etc.

The Peoples Republic of China’s State Nuclear Power Technology Company (SNPTC) has recently selected the Westinghouse/Shaw Consortium and Westinghouse’s AP1000 passive Generation III technology as the basis for four nuclear power plants.

The AP1000 Consortium will be working closely with Energy Recruitment Solutions Ltd (ERS) in the implementation of the new build program with positions and assignments.

As part of the AP1000 Consortium, Shaw provide engineering, procurement, commissioning, and management services for the four Chinese nuclear generation units. Energy Recruitment will assist in supporting this staffing requirement.

ERS therefore have an ongoing need for staff to fulfill this large scale demand for professional skilled and educated construction and engineering experts.  ERS have positions across all disciplines within construction and Engineering for long term ex-pat staff positions near Shanghai.

ERS would like to hear from candidates with recent and current experience in construction engineering of Nuclear Power Stations across the world.

Experienced candidates from the Ukraine, Romania, South Africa ,Sweden, Slovenia, Bulgaria, Finland, Russia, Lithuania, India, Slovakia, France, Canada and existing personnel from China Nuclear projects are actively sought.

Footnotes:With the fastest growing economy in the world and its population aggressively demanding to catch up with the western world.  Huge demand is placed on the shoulders of the PRC to enable businesses to operate across its vast lands.

With an enormous percentage of its population still living off the land and largely still existing without mains electricity. China has another demand for upgrading the national infrastructure to support the businesses and as the population that converts to working within its factories is looking to emulate its Western counterparts.

Wages enable independence better quality of life with improved towns and buildings.

Mainland China already has eleven nuclear power stations in commercial operation with a further six under construction, and plenty more in the planning stages about to start construction.  China needs more Nuclear reactors if it is to continue its vertical climb in world wide dominance.

China has to reduce its carbon foot print as its the second-largest contributor to energy-related carbon dioxide emissions after the USA.

Nuclear power is a natural choice to support the required power capacity in the coastal areas remote from the coalfields and where the economy is developing quickest

Locations: Shanghai, North and South, at Sangmen and Haiyang.

Background:

At the end of February 2007 a framework agreement was signed between Westinghouse and SNPTC specifying Haiyang in Shandong province  as the site of the second pair of AP1000 units, with Sanmen.

In July 2007, Westinghouse, along with consortium partner Shaw, signed the AP1000 contracts with SNPTC, Sanmen Nuclear Power Company, Shangdong Nuclear Power Company and China National Technical Import & Export Corporation (CNTIC). There were no specific terms released however figures of $5.3 billion for the deal have been widely quoted.

The Sanmen site works commenced in February 2008 and full construction for unit 1 is to start in March 2009, with the first power expected late in August 2013. 

Its is widely acknowledged that EDF will take a 30% share in the Taishan project as joint venture partner with CGNPC.

We understand that the Taishan Nuclear Power Company which will oversee the building, then own and operate the plant.  Cost is estimated for the project, including fuel supply, to total in excess of 8 billion Euros.  The Steam turbine generators alone will cost circa 300 million Euros.
