Nisht in Shabbos Gereht, vol. 7: Parshat Vayeishev
Although we have a few business deals in this parsha, due to their unique nature, we won’t analyze those this week. Instead, we’ll focus on one’s attitude towards business, and subsequently, life in general. When looking over the parsha, one can’t help but notice the "Cardinal Sins" demonstrated by some of our greatest forefathers. Excuse …

Building your Business with Referrals & JobShuk Referral System
For information on JobShuk’s referral system, click here to skip down. When people ask me how to advertise their business online, I think my brain goes into auto-mode and I regurgitate the same boring stuff that we’re spoon-fed: link building, CPC, SEO, etc. But I have my own vision of the web which isn’t so …

Nisht in Shabbos Gereht, vol. 6: Parshat Vayishlach
Parshat Vayishlach contains 2 major stories of military strategy employed by Yaakov and his sons on their return to Israel. The first story concerns Yaakov’s confrontation with his brother Eisav, and the second tells us of his sons’ dealings with Chamor and Shchem. But what do these have to do with business? It’s not a …

Update your Profile, Search Engines: Part 2
A few months ago, I started writing about the importance of search engines, both on the web as a whole, and for each individual website. To sum up, "finding the answers" to your questions is both the blessing and the challenge handed to us by the Internet. Sometimes seekers even narrow down their search to …

Nisht in Shabbos Gereht, vol. 5: Parshat Vayetzei
Begrudgingly, we’re going to learn a business lesson this week from Lavan. I can offer 2 justifications for this: 1) since the history of the Jewish people was kick-started through Lavan’s intervention, it must have been G-d’s will, 2) we can still learn positive lessons from the actions of bad people. Without saying that the …

Should I list prices on my profile?
I can’t remember how I came to Blake Snow’s blog, Smooth Harold. While taking some time to read and comment on some blogs on my watch list, I noticed a few great recent posts by Blake. The first is about pricing. Without making pricing a separate and required field on the "Edit Profile" form, something I’ve …
We’re on the Radar!
I received the document below today after running an ad though Google Adwords network on sites such as JPost.com. The ad was to attract people’s eyes using a familiar and respected name, and a company which has similar goals as my own in finding people in Israel a parnasa. I hope that one day, …
Nisht in Shabbos Gereht, vol. 4: Parshat Toldot
Once again, our Parsha begins with a business transaction. This time, it takes place between two brothers, Eisav and Yaakov, over a strange item: the right of the firstborn child, the Bechora. The background to this story is rather limited. Eisav is a hunter, he has his father’s love, and he returns from hunting on …

Nisht in Shabbos Gereht, vol. 3: Parshat Chayei Sara
Welcome to my new Parshat HaShavua series discussing business principles and ethics as they relate to the weekly Torah portion. You may be wondering where the first 2 volumes of this series are. They were delivered on Shabbat, and are still in my head. I’ll put them in here soon before I forget, no worries. …
