    About Me I'm the CEO and President of CJ Ventures, Inc., which includes Medical Mingle, Absolutely Health Care, and Rehab Options USA, Med Options USA, and Nurse Options USA. I'm married to my high school sweetheart Robin for over 30 years, have two terrific kids, Cary and Jessica, and we have a small zoo in our home, with 2 Huskies and a Yellow Lab, and 3 cats. We live on a lake in Lake Worth, FL, which is in Palm Beach County.

    Movies I like action movies and comedies.
    TV
    Likes I love to travel, exercise, attend sporting events, comedy, and the theatre.
    Dislikes The opera and the ballet, which I need to go to from time to time to make my wife happy.
    Hobbies I consider our company as both my job and a major hobby. During the workday, I work to generate business and help our customers. During down time, I often spend time to think and come up with innovative ways to improve our business, products, and services. It is a joyful task that never ends. My newest hobby is Medical Mingle, which has been a lot of fun to meet and interact with our members.
    Smoke No
    Drink Yes
    Virtues Hard working, loyal, caring, and generous. I love doing nice things for other people.
    Heroes I can think of a few, but one is Alonzo Mourning with the Miami Heat, who has overcome serious illness, and plays basketball with the type of tremendous passion that I have for my job and for our company. He is also a fine person that does for others through Alonzo Mourning Charities.
    My Profession President & CEO - CJ Ventures, Inc.
    A Bit About My Job I'm the leader of a team that has created a unique set of recruitment tools for the health care and medical field, and have packaged them in a way that no one else has. The buck stops here in trying to keep over 1,000 client companies happy in an industry, where there are endless openings, and not enough talent to fill them. This makes for an interesting job, as no matter how hard we try, it's virtually impossible to keep everyone happy all the time. However, we try to do our best, and just keep on working at improving at all times. We've helped hundreds of thousands of job seekers over the years, so it's rewarding to know that we've helped a tremendous number of people.

    Medical Mingle Seeks More Leaders

    Tuesday, February 16, 2010, 08:21 AM EST [General]

    We have some great leaders on our site. It's obvious who they are just by looking around, and I thank each and every leader for your contributions.

    Some members are very involved with our site, and add content (forum posts, blog posts, comments, pictures, videos, ratings, comments, etc...), and try to help members who ask various questions and seek help.

    Some members tend to add content mostly on days when they will receive credit in our terrific contests, which to me is a shame, as we'd love to see you here more often.

    Some members pop on and create content here and there.

    Some members create content when they post their profile, and then you never see them here again.

    There are no requirements to participate in order to be a member, but as our site's creator, I certainly wish our site to be as vibrant, active, and helpful a community as is possible.

    Therefore, we are always seeking more leaders who are willing to post to our forums and blog, post pictures and videos, make comments, try to help members that ask for help with different things, and help us add more members.

    If each member just contributed just a little bit a few times a week, it would take our site to a whole different level, and would take very little time and effort to do so.

    We have great members here, and no one needs to be afraid to participate.

    For those of you who enjoy recognition, we give it regularly through our various contests, and through our network recognition loyalty program. CLICK HERE for more details.

    Remember, the more each member contributes to our community, the more each member can benefit from our community.

    We are a TEAM (Together Each Achieves More)! 

    I look forward to seeing more of our members getting involved.

    Your CJ Ventures, Inc. Checklist For Success Scorecard & Recognition

    Tuesday, October 20, 2009, 09:24 AM EST [General]

    With our various checklists for success, we have created a point system so you can see what you've accomplished with this initiative, and where there is room for improvement.


    The following number of points can be earned for each module:


    General Training & Reminders Checklist For Hiring/Placing Clients = 3

    Job Posting Checklist For Hiring/Placing Clients = 16

    Resume Database Checklist For Hiring/Placing Clients = 7

    Professional/Social Networking Checklist For Hiring/Placing Clients = 8

    Network Of Preferred Vendors Checklist For Hiring/Placing Clients = 4

    Candidate Profile Checklist For Hiring/Placing Clients = 6


    Therefore: 

    The maximum number of points that you can earn as an Absolutely Health Care only subscriber (first 5 checklists only) is 39.

    The maximum number of points that you can earn as a Rehab Options USA, Med Options USA, and/or Nurse Options USA subscriber (all 6 checklists) is 45.


    Scoring:

    Add up your total points from the various applicable checklists, and divide them by the total number of points that you could earn. This will provide you with your score.

    Using school type scoring:

    90% - 100% = Excellent
    80% - 89% = Good
    70% - 79% = Fair
    65% - 69% = Poor

    We'd suggest that you continually work to improve your score. Thanks!

    Candidate Profile Checklist For Hiring/Placing Clients

    Saturday, October 10, 2009, 07:56 AM EST [General]

    (+ 1 if you have done this or it's not applicable) Only clients subscribing to Rehab Options USA, Med Options USA, and/or Nurse Options USA are entitled to receive candidate profiles from our company, which for the most part, are different candidates that you'll have access to through Absolutely Health Care. If you are an Absolutely Health Care client, and have no idea of what these services are, please either call me at 800-863-8314 or email me at ken@healthjobsusa.com to find out. We also welcome you to review this short video which overviews our various products/services, and to attend CJ Ventures, Inc. University.

    (+1) _____1. Do you just contact candidate profiles for direct recruitment, our do you also use the database for networking. Every person in our database knows other professionals, who know other professionals,  etc, etc, etc.... If used properly, our database can produce an endless stream of leads. If you've ever learned about Six Degrees Of Separation, you'll understand. If you don't network on an ongoing basis, you are truly missing the boat.

    (+1) _____2. Do you store candidate profiles in your candidate database/candidate tracking system for future use? Receiving profiles in an Excel format, as well as a Word format makes this very easy to do. 

    (+1) _____3. Realize that clients receive candidate profiles on the same day. Therefore, depending on how in demand a job seeker is, some clients race to contact job seekers, attempting to reach them before anyone else. Some clients wait a couple of days to let the rush go by, and then contact the job seeker. Others wait a week or so before doing so. You might want to try different approaches, and see what approach works best for you.  

    (+ 1 if you have done this or it's not applicable) _____4. If there's anything you think of that you feel should be added to this list, please let me know.

    (+ 1 if you have done this or it's not applicable)_____5. If you don't know how to do any of these things, either take one of our classes or call Wendy at 866-761-4185 or Kathy at 800-334-2576 in Customer Support. If they can't answer a particular question, they will refer you to me. 

    Give yourself a point for each item with a (+1) in this blog post that you are doing and/or have completed. How many points out of a total possible score of 6 did you score?
