11 Apr 10 Hispanic Leads the Food Growth in the United States

In a research conducted by a Hispanic market research firm Latinum Network, it was fund that Hispanic community in the United States accounted for more than 50% real growth between 2005 and 2008 in the US food, beverage, and restaurant market, which in dollar terms turned out to be $52 billion (inflation-adjusted spending).

During the same period, non-Hispanic communities generated $40 billion inflation-adjusted spending. Hispanic spent 57.7% of food, beverage, and restaurant sale growth in the said period.

Impact of Hispanic community on US food

  • The community has generated $9 billion worth of value in declining categories like fresh fruit juice, dairy products, and fish and seafood between 2005 and 2008.
  • Hispanics also creates new value worth $5.9 billion in growing categories like vegetable juices, fruit drinks, frozen meals, and meats including ham, mutton, and pork. The community accounts for 20% of growth in this category.
  • In the time when other communities are cutting expenses on eating out, Hispanics go out more frequently.

This is piece of good news for marketer targeting Hispanics. Not only foods, category like cosmetics is also growing fast. Teens have shown more interest in using personal care products.

05 Mar 10 A Job-Search Guide to Help People Over 45 – XVIII

As said in the last post, this is the last post in the series, and with this I will conclude my discussion on job-search tips for over-45 job seekers. In this part, I will talk about what to you need to promote during your interview.

Attract attention, and focus on the bright side

There may be quite a few things in the résumé that were not so much impressive, so try to bury it deeper during your interview by focusing your interviewer’s attention on your strength. Do not just dodge the questions asked about your weak points. Tackle the question wisely and enroute take a turn and move towards your strength. Do it covertly.

Promote your work ethics

Tell your interviewer that because of your age, you do not feel like hopping from one job to another, and will settle if you get a satisfactory job like the one you are giving interview for. Well say this but not in so many words. It should look as if it is coming naturally from you. Do not fake it. Loyalty is a big asset and that too a rare one.

Tell your interviewer your monetary worth

You have accumulated a lot of knowledge and expertise (perhaps interdepartmental ones as well) in your long career before being unemployed. Tell the worth of those skills in dollar terms. The interviewer needs to know your real worth.

With this our discussion on this topic comes to an end. And as a parting though, I must say that this phase (unemployment) is temporary, and there is always a job for a person who deserves it, and works to get it.
