Our approach at Balance Chiropractic is simple. We believe that health is among our most valuable possessions. And while we generally meet people after they've lost their health, our commitment is two fold. First we strive to provide the best relief care to help people get back on their feet then offer wellness visits to maintain that fluid motion, proper muscle tone and un-interfered nervous system. Regardless of your health goals, our job is to offer you the finest chiropractic care possible and its up to you to decide how much of it you want.

Dr Hallows DC graduated top of the class from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, IA. He uses a combination of drops, side posture, Activator and Lumbar Flexion Distraction in addition to hands on muscle release and stretching. Sound interesting?

New Job Search Tips from Providentliving.org

Check out this list of new guides and ideas!

http://www.providentliving.org/content/display/0,11666,8550-1-4774-1,00.html

NEW: Job Search Tips
A series of Job Search Tip sheets have been developed to help you be successful in finding employment. The tip sheets go hand in hand with the Career Workshop taught at the Church’s many employment centers and highlight the most effective techniques for finding a job. The tip sheets are a great tool for employment specialists to use when coaching members.
Job Search Planning Finding a new job is a full-time job. Plan to work at it with the same discipline you would if you were working full-time.
Me in 30 Seconds A “Me in 30 Seconds” statement is a simple way to present to someone else a balanced understanding of who you are.
Present Your Skills Presenting facts about your skills and experience is not boasting; it allows others to understand how you can add value to their organization.
Effective Networking Networking is the most effective way to find a job; approximately 70 percent of all jobs are found this way.
Interview Techniques The key to a successful interview is adequate preparation.
Writing a Résumé or CV Employers will probably spend less than 30 seconds looking at your résumé or curriculum vitae (CV). They will interview only the strongest candidates.
Written Communication Filling out applications or writing cover letters and thank-you letters gives you opportunities to express your skills and impress employers.
Working a Job Fair The purpose of going to a job fair is not to ask for a job but to develop relationships that might lead to a job.
Negotiation Skills You are in a position to negotiate salary, benefits, and job details when the employer understands your value to the organization.
Earning Your Daily Bread Heavenly Father has blessed all of His children with the talents and gifts they will need to best provide for themselves and their families.

HOME SAVINGS IDEAS AND RESOURCES
THUNDER MTN WARD 2009


SAVING AND USING GROCERY STORE COUPONS

There are so many web sights that match up coupons for you and tell you exactly what coupons to use and where to find the coupons. They even provide direct links to internet coupons. A lot of these deals will result in free or almost free items, and some are even money makers. These web sights are a great resource, give you step by step directions, and are completely free.

Coupon Sources
Sunday Newspaper
www.dbe.azcentral.com ($1 Sunday paper)

Buy or Trade
Trading with friends, family, and neighbors is best and most economical. Make sure if you purchase them that it is worth it.

Internet Printables www.pinchingyourpennies.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9527
Printing out coupons can get expensive so use scratch paper as often as you can and for cheap ink refills go to: www.private.abacus24-7.com

E-coupons
These are coupons you can load on to your grocery store member cards and they automatically come off when you purchase the corisponding item. These can be stacked with paper coupons for double savings.

Stay Confident During Job Searches

STAY CONFIDENT DURING YOUR JOB SEARCH (Alice Arredondo, Department of Economic Security)
In these tough economic times, the loss of a job can be devastating. Along with the job, we often suffer the loss of self-worth. It’s necessary to stay confident in your next job search. Here are ways to help stay positive:
· Get up early and dress according to what you have scheduled for the day. Look productive, and you will feel productive.
· Set a schedule and follow it.
· Keep in touch with people in your field. Stay abreast of industry trends and news. This will help you stay connected.
· Surround yourself with motivated, positive people. Avoid the “downers” and avoid those who may fit in this category.
· Identify your strengths and think about them daily. You can ask yourself, “Why do people come to me?” You may need to get a new perspective of your talents.
· Listen to motivational tapes or CDs.
· Seek help. You can find job listings, career-guidance specialists, resume assistance and training at One Stop Career Centers. Check http://www.arizonaworkforceconnection.com/ for locations.
· When conducting your job search, give it 100 percent for six hours a day. Research has shown that time spent beyond that is non-productive.
· Take a break on the weekend and do something fun. Bolster your confidence and get a fresh start for the new week.
Keep in mind that the One Stop Career Centers and the Arizona Virtual One Stop at http://www.arizonavirtualonestop.com/ are excellent resources to access valuable employment assistance.

Check out the LDS Employment website http://www.ldsjobs.org/, “Tip to Get You Hired”. The LDS Employment Resource Service provides, Career Workshops, Self-Employment Workshops, Resume Writing Classes (see schedule below).
Talk to your Ward and Stake Employment Specialist they also provide individual assistance.
