Do not put an "Objective". Employers don't care about your objective. They care about how you can help meet THEIR objectives. See http://richgrunenwald.blogspot.com/2010/01/using-your-resume-to-turn-inquiries.html Also, google "How recruiters review your resume' in 30 seconds or less". Essentially, the whole idea is to put yourself in the shoes of the person who might receive your resume' and arrange your resume' to pique their interest.

There are also a number of workers comp claim management companies. Careworks, Sedgwick (formerly Comp Mgt), and a few others that don't come to mind at the moment. Fiserv is in Dublin, I think OpenText is still in Hilliard.

You might do well picking up an old receiver with the built in phono pre-amp and using the tape out jacks. Most of what I read about the standalone pre-amps that are low price is that they are junk.

Silly Jones. He needs to take down a lowly Civic before he can take down Kale's car.

My wife had one of these for about 10 years and it was a great car. Ditto on the window motors. That's a good price if the car is as clean as it looks.

2001 - 2005 Lexus IS300. Dead reliable, right-wheel drive, holds value. Make sure the timing belt has been done ($1200). About 20mpg around town and 25mpg on the highway. Rich

Coincidentally, the OVR SCCA Board Meeting was going on in the party room to the left of the hostess stand, so I stopped there.

I did not get there until about 8:30 due to another commitment running late, and the hostess did not know of anything for Columbus Racing. How many folks showed up?

I am in. Let's finalize location. If this becomes a regular event, it can be rotated around different parts of town for accessibility.

Last two events of the year. Register at http://www.motorsportsreg.com.

Thanks guys. As of now, I have no serious buyers. Only lookers. Don't make me turn this back into a street car just to sell to some ricer punk kid. I can take off the suspension parts, trick header and exhaust, and so on, but I can't undo the Mugen suspension bushings or the Realtime Racing built engine. I would prefer to not to see it go to waste if at all possible. By the way, I will have it out on Saturday at the OVR autocross at National Trails.

Before doing anything, research the collect-ability of this particular truck. They are only stock and original once, and you may have a gem there depending on options, etc.

Chances are in a phone interview, you won't get asked about salary. However, if you do get asked, give an answer as I outline. A range that you know is reasonable for the job in the market you are in is fine. Our company and our clients hire thousands of people per year. Companies don't have time to go through the sourcing and screening process in order to get towards the offer stage and find out the candidate has unreasonable salary expectations. If you don't want to give a number, then reverse the question: "I of course want to be compensated fairly, and am flexible depending on the overall package. What salary range are you targeting for this position?". If they turn it around again, that means they have now asked you twice. Tell them your range. Remember, at this point in the hiring process, you are not negotiating because they haven't offered anything to negotiate over. They are SCREENING you to see if you are a realistic fit for their budget. If their salary range is $55k - $60k annually, and you are targeting $75k, then both you and the prospective employer need to know that up front so you don't waste additional time. Again, IF ASKED, have a range in mind that is reasonable for the job and geographic market. A plus or minus 10% range is close enough. As an aside, you can generally get an idea of market pay for certain jobs at salary.com. There's another site that I can't recall at the moment that takes it a step further and shows salary data for jobs at specific companies.

Rob, please look at this if you expect to get in. http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=61288

Matt, have a set of Kosei K1's you can borrow if in a pinch. Might sell these at a later date.

Not THAT old. Sheesh!

Did I happen to mention that I am open to selling in multiple configurations? Bump.

Common Interview Mistakes. Poor eye contact: You don't need to stare at the interviewer 100% of the time, but you do need to look them in the eye when listening and speaking. Poor appearance: Look clean, professional, and appropriate for the type of industry / job you are interviewing for. Even if it is a lower end, dirty labor job, a pair of Khaki's and button down shirt sets you apart. Don't be too early or two late: Arrove 10 minutes early. Too early gives the appearance of desperation. Wait in the parking lot if you happen to get there too early. Remember to breathe: Relax. An interview is simply a conversation between two or so people. Don't give excessively simple or complex answers: If asked, "Have you done X?", don't simply say "Yes" or "No". Give examples of where you've done it. If it is something you haven't done, answer truthfully and give an answer that indicates you've done something similar or perhaps where you had to learn a new skill to complete the task. Don't answer questions you don't understand: When asked something you don't understand, ask clarifying questions. "I may have done that, but I've not heard that phrase before. Can you explain how that's used here?". This does two things: it helps you understand the question and gives you time to think about an answer. Don't simply conclude the interview and leave: Ask whether there are questions or doubts or areas where the interviewer is not sure about your skills. Ask what next steps are and when you can expect to hear something. Don't be vague about money requirements: When asked about desired wage, don't give an overly evasive answer. State "I am looking at jobs in the $xx to $yy range, but salary is only one part of the overall package. Is this in your range for this position?". The interviewer needs to know your requirements are in the ballpark and doesn't have time to deal with BS answers. Probably more stuff as I come upon it. Google is your friend here.

Interview Tips Interviewing is the either the most stressful or the most enjoyable part of the job search process. With a little bit of preparation ahead of time, you will be able to go into the interview process relaxed and with confidence. There are two main purposes in any interview: 1) A company is trying to determine if you are right for the job, and 2) you are trying to find out if the job is right for you. Since your time with the interviewer may be short, you can make a good impression and take advantage of the time you have by doing a little homework. Even the smartest and most qualified job seekers need to prepare for job interviews. Why, you ask? Interviewing is a learned skill, and there are no second chances to make a great first impression. So study these strategies to enhance your interview IQ. Never Turn Down an Interview. There are many reasons as to why you should never decline an interview with a potential employer or recruiter. Not only do you have the opportunity to practice your interviewing techniques, but you never know what kind of valuable contacts you may develop from the encounter. Maybe the current job opening isn’t "the one for you"; however, a few months from now, the ideal position could become available. Making favorable impressions and networking with various people is an important part to moving your career in the direction you want. Research the Company. Far too many people focus only on the first step of the job hunt which is earning an interview. All too many fail to prepare adequately for the interview itself. Find out as much as you can about the company and its products. The more you know about the company, the better you will appear in the interview. There are many sources of information on the Internet, especially if the company is publicly traded. Use any of the popular search engines to locate information, local business magazines websites or local newspaper websites to see if there are any articles on the company. If the company is publicly traded on the stock exchange, any of the free online quote services can link you to news, stock reports, press releases, analyst opinions and more. Know what is going on in the industry you are interviewing in and what the competition is doing. Practice Good Nonverbal Communication. It's about demonstrating confidence: standing straight, making eye contact and connecting with a good, firm handshake. That first impression can be a great beginning -- or a quick ending -- to your interview. Dress for the Job and Company. Today's casual dress codes in the office do not give you permission to dress as "they" do when you interview. It is important to look professional and well-groomed. Whether you wear a suit or something less formal depends on the company culture and the position you are seeking. If possible, call to find out about the company dress code before the interview. Make a Good First Impression. Arrive early on the day of the interview to fill out any application materials, forms or tests. Have up to date interview material with you when you arrive; resume, references, samples of work, portfolio etc. Make a strong first impression with everyone you meet at the company, giving a firm handshake, looking everyone you meet in the eye, smile a lot and be sure to introduce yourself. Experts generally agree that people form an impression about you within 30 seconds so make those opening moments count. Introduce Yourself. When someone asks an open-ended question, such as, "Tell me a little bit about yourself." Nothing can lose a listener’s interest faster than an over-detailed, rambling response. A well-prepared and practiced introduction is likely to capture an employer’s attention and leave them wanting more. Use descriptive statements that relate to your skills and achievements. Whether in an interview or just networking, a good initial presentation will set the stage for a positive and pro-active conversation. Practice Beforehand. Rehearse answers to common interview questions; get a friend to ask you the questions if you need practice. Prepare a short list of questions you can ask the interviewer either about the company or about the position itself. Memorize these questions, don't read them off of notes, this way you will appear more spontaneous and conversational. Sell Yourself. The key is to sell yourself by highlighting not only the knowledge, skills and abilities you could bring to the company, but also your accomplishments. As you answer the interview questions, make sure you are in a sales mode. Is the interviewer (buyer) getting the information they need from you (the salesperson) to make an informed decision to buy from you (offer you the job)? Don't forget to close the sale by asking for the job or next step! Take Control of the Interview. Sometimes you will get an interviewer who is more of a screener than an interviewer. Typically these people are not skilled at asking the questions needed to draw out your background and abilities. If you run across an interviewer like this, be prepared to successfully guide the interview for them. Your overall objective should be to clearly and concisely communicate your skills and abilities to the employer, and feel confident that you have done so when the interview closes. You can strategically control the direction of the interview by asking targeted questions and offering additional information. Never leave an interview until you are certain you have fully promoted your abilities to interviewer. Listen. From the very beginning of the interview, your interviewer is giving you information, either directly or indirectly. If you are not listening, you are missing a major opportunity. Good communication skills include listening and letting the person know you heard what he said. Observe your interviewer and match that style and pace. Follow a Pattern. First you answer questions about your experience, background and qualifications, and then you ask questions about the job and the company. Remember that the interviewer is wondering how you can help the company. Your answers to his or her questions should illustrate how you can help the company achieve its goals. Think of your answers as painting a mental picture, can they "see" you in their mind's eye doing the job and doing it well. Find out about the job and the company when it's your turn to ask questions. Ask the questions you prepared in advance. Feel free to ask for specifics about whom you would report to and the duties and expectations of the position. Save questions about salary and benefits for negotiations after a job offer has been made. Also avoid any types of controversial questions until a second interview. Don't Talk Too Much. Being long-winded during an interview makes you sound chatty and unprepared. Avoid this common mistake by keeping your answers to about 60-90 seconds or so during an interview (unless the answer really calls for a lot more detail). You can perfect this by practicing answers to typical interviewing questions ahead of time. Not only will you sound intelligent and polished, but you’ll also be less nervous knowing that you were prepared. Convey Appropriate Body Language. During a job interview, what you convey non-verbally may be just as important as what you communicate verbally. Interviewers typically take note of a candidate’s non-verbal cues as they evaluate their skills and qualifications. Facial expressions, hand gestures, posture, and tone or inflection of voice all indicate a candidate’s level of confidence and overall interest in the role. Prior to an interview, have someone you know ask you "mock interview" questions, and then have them offer feedback on any non-verbal habits that may be distracting or unprofessional. Don't Be Too Familiar. The interview is a professional meeting to talk business. This is not about making a new friend. Your level of familiarity should mimic the interviewer's demeanor. It is important to bring energy and enthusiasm to the interview and to ask questions, but do not to overstep your place as a candidate looking for a job. Use Appropriate Language. It's a given that you should use professional language during the interview. Be aware of any inappropriate slang words or references to age, race, religion, politics or sexual preferences -- these topics could send you out the door very quickly. Don't Be Cocky. Attitude plays a key role in your interview success. There is a fine balance between confidence, professionalism and modesty. Even if you're putting on a performance to demonstrate your ability, overconfidence is as bad, if not worse, as being too reserved. Answer Questions Carefully. When an interviewer asks for an example of a time when you did something, he is seeking a sample of your past behavior. If you fail to relate a specific example, you not only don't answer the question, but you also miss an opportunity to prove your ability and tell about your skills. Ask Questions. When asked if they have any questions, the majority of candidates answer, "No." Wrong answer. It is extremely important to ask questions to demonstrate an interest in what goes on in the company. Asking questions also gives you the opportunity to find out if this is the right place for you. The best questions come from listening to what is asked during the interview and asking for additional information. Don't Appear Desperate. I know -- it's a tough job market and you need a job. But when you interview with the "please, please hire me" approach, you appear desperate and less confident. Maintain the three C's during the interview: cool, calm and confident. You know you can do the job; make sure the interviewer believes you can, too. Close the Sale. Interviewing is about selling your self to a prospective company. At the end of the interview, reiterate how your skills will benefit the company, and let the interviewer know that you are interested in the position. If an interviewer has a choice between two equal people and one says they are interested in the position at the end of the interview and one doesn't, whom do you think they will call back? Write Thank You Letter. The interview is over, but there is still more you can do to make a good impression. Always follow up an interview with a thank you letter or an email. This gives you a chance to reiterate how you would be a great fit for the company and to reiterate your interest level as well. Especially important is to draw on something from the interview that you both agreed upon, this will re-confirm in the interviewers mind about your "fit" for the company.

This would be a a cool tow vehicle for a somebody that races vintage cars. GLWS!

OPEN TO SELLING IN MULTIPLE CONFIGURATIONS IF YOU HAVE A BUDGET NUMBER YOU ARE TRYING TO WORK WITHIN, LET ME KNOW! Here is info regarding my Civic that I am very likely selling. I say "very likely" as the market is somewhat saturated with these cars right now (see SCCAForums) and prices are depressed. This is a full prep, national level autocross car. I might end up keeping it until spring, change classes to become an SMF car (I have most of the parts except wheels and Hoo-zha's), or just do STC one more time! I can send you a recent dyno plot as well as the original ad for the car when I bought it in 2006. Jimmy Crawford (2009 and 2010 National Champ) built it. He did a lot of good things in the build, but the springs / bars were low end even for then and the "custom upper control arms" were a hack job. I have changed and upgraded a ton of stuff to make it solid and reliable. Here's a description and the configuration I prefer to sell it in: - 89 Civic Si - Stock D16A6, built by Realtime Racing, recent valve job by Phillips Racing in Columbus (place Tipple, Robertson, Ruck, and others use). Dyno sheet shows 118 HP, 106 TQ. - Chipped ECU with Mugen map modified by Bryan Rawlings. Bryan thinks he can tweak the map a bit more to maybe get additional HP out of it. - DC Sports header - High flow cat - AEM CAI - Performance exhaust, dumping before rear axle - New Beck-Arnley reman Honda distributor - Unorthodox Racing underdrive pulley - Lightweight battery plus spare battery. - B&M Short Shifter; poly bushings in shift linkage - Koni SPSS shocks, Ground Control sleeves - Eibach springs, 600 front, 700 rear. - No front Sway Bar - Rear Suspension Techniques Adjustable Sway Bar - Front Skunk2 adjustable upper control arms - Rear Ingalls Engineering adjustable upper control arms - Mugen hard rubber bushings throughout - Set of Kosei K-1 15x7 wheels OR Rota Slipstream wheels 15x7.5 wheels - 6 Toyo R1R 195/50-15 tires, about 4/32 tread. - 2 sets of Toyo R1R's with low tread, good for two to four events each. - Momo Steering Wheel - Corbeau drivers seat - Schroth Harness - Recent maintenance includes new front hubs and bearings in June 2012, new rear hubs 2011, new brake hydraulics throughout in 2012 (MC, calipers, wheel cyinders), valve job / head refresh by Phillips Racing, transmission rebuilt last year by Bone (Honda Transmission guru - does Tipple's, Ruck's, others), new Honda clutch and pressure place in 2011 - Probably more stuff that I have forgotten. http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r228/31rx7/2012%20SCCA%20Lincoln%20Spring%20Nationals/IMG00298-20120524-19591.jpg Pictures from the past 6 years are on http://s145.photobucket.com/albums/r228/31rx7/ View all albums. Price: $5,500 I had the following parts on the car during the past year, and my plans are to convert some of them over to my CRX road race car and sell the others on the open market. However, I will sell these with the car if somebody is interested. The prices below are somewhat close to new price because if I sell them with the car, I have to turn around and buy new (Bisi, shocks, exhaust, sway bar). I won't sell the SSR's separate from the car until the car sells. - SSR 15x7.5 wheels. 9.1 lbs, unobtanium - $1500 - Bisimoto header, ceramic coated with high flow cat. Not sure if it generates more power, but it is light and pretty! $1000 - Light, quiet, stainless Coastal Fabrication exhaust - $500 - Koni 3011 double adjustable race shocks - $1900 - ASR adjustable rear sway bar - $500 The weight of the car as raced this year with 2/3 tank of gas was 1995 lbs. I suspect the weight in the configuration I show above would be about 2020 lbs. or so. There's a few things you could do to pull another 15 lbs out of it. Positive aspects of this particular car: - The car has national trophy capability, even with a hack driver like me. Kathy smoked me by 1.2 this year in Lincoln, and usually I am 2 seconds ahead of her on concrete. - Light, truly rust free, unibody, straight as an arrow. - Engine is strong, 118.6 hp on the dyno, and 106 torque (dyno sheet) - Engine was professionally built (Realtime Racing in Wisconsin). Compression, leakdown all good. - Has not seen Ohio winters; was a California car until purchased by Jimmy and shipped to Wisconsin. - LEGAL - Clean title Negative aspects of car: - Driver's seat is not the best. I like it because if fits me, but others don't. You may want to change it. - The car has 202k miles on it and is no show car or beauty queen. I just kept slapping on decals as I got them, and so it's a bit tacky. But, it fits in well on the STC grid. It has 23 years of dings and dents. The hood and front fenders are the worst. - The interior is a bit worn, but not terrible. - I assume the new owner will drive it to events. I know the brake lights, turn signals, headlights, wipers all work. I know the horn and rear wiper do not work. - The other negative is the reality of a 23 year old car that you drive the snot out of. The stuff that goes wrong is the stuff you wouldn't anticipate but happens due to age. If you are interested, I'd like to get the deal done soon so I can confirm plans for next year. I have a couple other folks who have interest but no $$ yet. One guy in particular wants to buy just the shell so he can use it for an SMF build - I would keep the engine, transmisison, all suspension, etc. This would really work for me as I can use the engine and tranny in my CRX. I may flex a little on price, but the reality is I can convert it to street car for $3500 - $4000 and sell the remaining parts for $2k - $3k. There are other cars that come available from time to time, and you can use those as a basis of comparison. The stuff under $4500 tends to have rust or a much lower level of prep. I am open to certain items for partial trades (vintage motorcycles, high end acoustic guitars, open race car trailer, collector / classic street cars, high end vintage audio, etc.), but really prefer a predominantly cash sale as I need the money for my CRX. I only advertised on the OVR SCCA site although I do have a discussion thread on RoadRaceAutoX. Give me a call if you want to talk. Rich Grunenwald 614 FiveHundred&SixtyOne 3412

The Civic (mine) was 118 whp, one of the red Miata's and the silver one were each 111 whp, and the other red one (that had a tune) was 123. On the dyno, we sounded like angry, but harmless, bees.
