Dear Founder: You have invested some of your own money (and much "sweat equity") into the company you founded, taken some seed or angel money as the initial funding, and are making progress with some initial trials. There is significant interest in your product and you have accumulated a project pipeline. Your company looks like it may start ramping up from the several US$10k monthly run-rate to US$50k or US$100k monthly run-rate. As you embark to scale this growth (at three-digit percentage [i.e. 100%+] for at least 2 to 3 more years from today, and consistent growth of sales month after month), you are looking around for VC funding to help you with this ramp-up. It's probably time to look at going to "institutional" money. But not everyone is suited to a VC or PE type of investment. What we'd say is it does put pressure on you – though most of it is good. And it's also important that you find the right strategy and the right partners. You couldn't ask for more – this is probably the best time ever to be a start up in India. You have the country standing up and paying attention to entrepreneurs. No questions asked about age, education, experience or background. All that matters is your idea and how you make it happen. As passionate founders are well aware, the 'making it happen' is where the equation changes. When the idea rides not just on you as a founder or your investors, but a team that readily gets their hands dirty - that's when there's a high chance that your dream will happen. We understand why it is critical, but why do entrepreneurs find it challenging to hire the right people? If your work culture is different to that of traditional companies, why shouldn't your hiring strategy be? Every start-up will state that factors like finding people who can and are willing to work in a start-up, adjusting to the small company-high energy work culture, and inability to compensate according to industry standards are some of the major challenges. But the fundamental issue is with how you hire people. If you are going to look for your right team within an old hiring box, the hiring challenge is going to continue to trouble you. You need to take a perceptibly different approach and find new ways of working with people. Here is an alternative approach to think about: Why should you ONLY hire full time employees and commit to a lifetime of benefits, when you might need their services for just over a year? Why should you spend your money in setting up a full-fledged office space at the early stages of your company? Why was the internet invented after all! And more importantly, would you compromise on the quality of your hire, just because you cannot match the industry compensation standards? Welcome! We're are so glad you're here!

Photocopie du (dernier diplôme obtenu) Objet : Demande d'admission au BTS de (intitulé du BTS) (Madame, Monsieur), J'ai l'honneur de vous soumettre ma candidature à l'admission au BTS de (intitulé du BTS).

Thank you for your honest feedback, I do really appreciate it. You've raised the same point many others raised, and it's important to note that my argument of uselessness is from the specific standpoint of daily, long term usage of Docker, both locally and in production. I have since updated the article to reflect on some more of the positives, and you + others are right to call me out on this. If you look further into the article, you will see that I do give fair mention that Docker/LXC can result in faster startup times and lower memory usage. The tone of the article is an accurate representation of my feelings towards Docker, writing anything else would have been a lie. I'm sorry you feel like the article was a waste of time, but I appreciate your honesty! Despite these corrections, I still stand by my conclusion, however it's been quite insightful to have peer review from a wide audience and so far 99.9% of the feedback has been constructive.

Thank you for your time and consideration' It sometimes happens that, directly after an interview, something drastically changed in your mind or life and you decided not to chase that position any longer. For example, you could find a different exceptional offer, chose to relocate to another city or part of the world, or simply got disappointed in the company that you had idealized before your direct interaction its employees. Do such situations occur in real life? Quite often, so you better be prepared for them. Whatever happens, you still have to compose a "thank-you" note. Maybe something will change again in the future, and you will decide to apply for the same position again one more time, but even if you know you certainly will not, it is useful to retain a good attitude towards yourself because nobody knows for sure when, where and under which circumstances you might meet those same people again. And if it comes down to it at some point in your life, you already have the right connections to possibly get what you need. The content of the document naturally differs in this case - you have to politely explain why you are no longer interested, give thanks for the conversation, wish them all the best, and say that you will be glad to meet them again someday. In a more common situation when you have not changed your mind about that job the note will help to reaffirm your interest in the discussed position and remind the employer once again of your eagerness to work there. Dear Ms. Collins , I want to thank you for taking time to speak with me on April 15 th about your career in corporate finance at ABC Corporation and sharing the knowledge of the field you've gained along the way. Your advice on work experiences and specific areas of study that most benefited you in building your career has helped direct my summer inte rnship plans to those areas where I need further development. I found your insights into future industry trends to be most interesting and have begun to research the articles and publications you recommended. Also, per your suggestion, I have arranged an informational interview with your colleague, Marty Simonson , and will be meeting him next week. Thank you again for that connection and I will follow up with you afterwards to let you know of the outcome. I look forward to seeing you again.

Here are some takeaways from the fiery discussion. Read more at https://www.phillymag.com/business/2018/05/04/venture-capital-philadelphia-startups-innovation/#zhBA83DolSUQs62r.99 On Thursday, Philly Tech Week brought together three of the country's leading investors — Josh Kopelman, First Round Capital founding partner, Arlan Hamilton, Backstage Capital founder and managing partner, and Maya Baratz, Comcast NBCUniversal Lift Labs Accelerator Powered by Techstars managing director. The three investment leaders talked freely about where they think the venture capital world is headed and offered pointed advice about why venture capital isn't the best option for many founders. Looking ahead, the innovation space will drastically change in terms of who's at the table. Those VCs who don't adapt will be left behind.

These services are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a wee k and allow patients to arrange their prescriptions and book appointment s without having to ring the surgery. Nurse appointments are not avail able online because each nurse has a different role. The first step in using the online services is to r egister which you do by first asking for a Patient Access Registration Information Letter from reception and making sure the surgery has your curr ent E-mail address and mobile telephone number (used for password reco very). Once registered, you can use the Patient Access App on a smart phone or tablet as well as being able to login to the site p rovider (emis) using your personal computer. In order to maintain patient confidentiality, there are a number of conditions for registration: • A patient must always be registered in their own n ame and appointments / prescriptions are always made in the patient's name regardless of who makes the appointment or who is a ttending. Hence, the registration for children, carers, etc. is always done in the patient's name so that the registration details wil l be in that patient's name. • For children, the practice will only allow parents to register their children for the service up to the age of 14. Any o lder than that and the child would have to request the registration de tails themselves. • People cannot register other people unless there i s a lack of capacity scenario. So, for example, husbands and wives canno t register each other because the registration allows access to con fidential Welcome! We are so glad you are here!

Very truly yours, The Rosen Law Firm Lee Rosen You polish your resume, sharpen your interviewing skills and land an on-campus interview. A few weeks later, you are invited to the corporate offices for a second round of interviews, which you are sure you aced. You get ready to break open the Champagne, thinking that you should be getting the offer letter any day now. After you have been sitting on pins and needles for what seems like an eternity, the letter comes, but instead of an offer, it is a "ding"letter, a "bullet," a rejection. What do you do now? Do you tear the letter into a thousand pieces, burn your interviewing suit, and resolve to never again darken the doors of corporate America, or do you take another, a better, approach? There is so much advice out there about what to do when you win, but very little about what you do when you lose? Take Five — Time for Reflection Because we don't like rejection, we generally don't take it very well. We either assume the one who rejected us was being unfair, or that we weren't good enough, neither of which is necessarily true. Your job now is to avoid falling into either of these traps. It's okay to feel disappointed for a hot minute, but then you must get back into the game. There are some things you want to do right away. First of all, address how you are feeling about this rejection. It is reasonable to feel hurt, even depressed. Face your emotions and ride them out. Don't become obsessive about a rejection, or even a number of them — some students even paper their walls with the ding letters they receive before landing their first offer. Resist the urge to rehash old rejections and old failures. Just because you were the last one picked for basketball or your prince charming asked someone else to the prom does not mean this is a life-long pattern. A rejection letter is not personal, although it certainly feels personal; it is business, and you need to treat it as such Thanks I'm thrilled that I get to share my latest ideas with you. I think you're going to enjoy it. Keep an eye out for my first email. I've got a quick question for you that'll help us figure out exactly what will make the biggest difference in your practice. Thanks. Lee Rosen Thanks I'm thrilled that I get to share my latest ideas with you. I think you're going to enjoy it. Keep an eye out for my first email.

Lee Rosen Subscription Confirmed Your subscription to CS Dojo Newletter has been confirmed! If you have a minute, come visit my YouTube channel as well :) -> https://www.youtube.com/csdojo Thank you for being honest and admitting not only your weakness, but also your willingness to learn. It's refreshing compared to all the people on the internet that feel like they need to know more than the other person and to tell everyone they know more. Thank You for Being Honest by SB Sarah · Apr 28, 2009 at 4:00 pm · View all 88 comments At the RT booksigning on Saturday, someone came up to meet me. I absolutely love putting faces to names that I read online. When this very kind and interesting person left, she said, "Thank you for being honest." I loved that. I so appreciate when people let me know that they enjoy the site, and I love how she put it: "Being honest." There's no implication of acceptance or even of agreement with what I say. But there is acknowledgment of honesty, and its value. At the panel Jane and I gave Thursday about blogging, I said that any person who participates online has to understand that internet marketing is not a zero-sum game. There isn't a winner/loser relationship in marketing online. Using some buzzwords, online public relationships are horizontal in nature, and so is the marketing. You can't beat someone else because there's no time limit or goal to be reached in online community establishment. Horizontal marketing creates a collaborative community of group success. Jaye Wells put it better when she hand-sold a copy of my book to someone who had stopped to meet her (Thank you Jaye): "Any book that sells is good for all of us." Amen to that. Thank you for never second-guessing another's right to the truth. Thank you for picking up the slack. Thank you for filling in the holes in a world filled with doubt and uncertainty. Thank you for your honesty. You merit a million high-fives and endless words of gratitude. Sincerely, Thank you for being my better half. We don't share the same genetic makeup, but after all the sleepovers, heart-to-heart conversations, shopping until our bank accounts cry, and swapping clothes so often that we don't know what belongs to whom, how could I not consider you family? We have shared some my fondest memories together, and I wouldn't want them to feature anyone but you. You've been with me on my best days, and loved me on my worst. You know how to make me laugh when all I want to do is crawl into a hole and die. Your admirers Subscription newsletter Thank you for confirming your subscription.

Client Testimonial – "Thank You For Being Honest With Me…" August 28, 2012 Elsa ST writes: "As always, I so enjoy working with you. I feel like you are a friend to me who's knowledge, wisdom, and opinion I value because regardless of it's something I want to hear or not, you tell me what's in the charts. The truth is what most people seek but aren't willing to accept or even profess. I want to thank you for always being honest with me, even if it's things I don't necessarily want to hear sometimes. I feel like in the past year you've worked with me, I've reach a level of awareness that makes me realize I have such a long way to go. I take it day by day to be a better person, to be the best I can be, not just professionally and physically but as a human being. Things like self control and consideration of others, which can be hard for me at times. Thank you again, and you are truly gifted!" Thanks, ST!

From all I have seen and read from you on this site (and the site itself) I can imagine your readings truly are something of great value. You seem to have a deep and innate grasp of some essential truths about human nature, along with the skill to see how an astrological chart displays these truths.

This will serve as a reminder of your upcoming appointment as well as a confirmation that we both have the same date and time reserved for you. Late Arrivals We ask that you arrive at least 10 minutes before your scheduled appointment. This allows time for you to complete any required paperwork and for us to update your medical history, if necessary. If you are more than 15 minutes late for your appointment, we may, at our discretion, ask you to reschedule. Otherwise, if we can fit you into the schedule at a later time that same day, and you agree to wait in the office, then we will reschedule you for the same day. If the schedule does not accommodate that, then we will reschedule you for another day. We try to remain on schedule, so in fairness to other patients, if you arrive more than 15 minutes late, we may be unable to see you as scheduled. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding in this. Appointment Policy for Operative and Routine Treatments We have reserved valuable time for your dental treatment. If you miss your appointment, time has been lost that could have been offered to another patient. If you are unable to keep your treatment appointment, please notify us as soon as possible so that we may offer the time to another patient. This enables us to stay on schedule and to accommodate as many patients as possible.

We realize that there are many things that can come up in people's day to day lives. While truly sympathetic, when a client cancels without giving enough notice, they prevent another client from being seen. In fairness to all clients as well as to all therapists, this policy is in effect regardless of the reason for the cancellation. Massage Sense has a minimum 24 hour cancellation/rescheduling policy. If an appointment is missed, canceled or changed with less than 24 hours notice, there will be charge of cancellation fee. Here's how it works: Massage Sense allows clients to choose from two standardized appointment types with distinct cancellation policies Fixed and Flexible. Fixed (Value deal) No rescheduling option No discount options If you cancel or miss your scheduled appointment, no refunds will be provided (min. 24 hour cancellation notice is not applicable) Should you be unable to make it to your appointment, you can choose to use your reservation and send someone else on your behalf. In this case, we require a notice of such change by a text message to this number: 06 480 66 574 If Massage Sense has to cancel your reservation, you can choose to rebook with another therapist (this is subject of therapists' availability), or to be fully refunded avaya.com | 1 HEALTHCARE CHALLENGES Rising costs, inefficient use of resources and facilities, and patient satisfaction are all top of mind concerns for the modern, digital hospital. Appointment no-shows exacerbate each of these challenges. • 10-30% of all appointments are 'no shows' 2 . • Appointment 'no shows' cost the US healthcare system over $150bn a year 3 . • Approximately 1 in 10 hospital outpatient appointments are missed every year in England 4 with missed first outpatient appointments costing the NHS up to £225 million between 2012 and 2013 5 . • Using staff to manually place appointment reminder calls is inefficient and costly, adding up to an average of $120,000 a year in expenses 6 . • Inefficient appointment rescheduling can limit available appointment times and degrade patient satisfaction. Improving Patient Care, Resource Utilization and Revenue Generation In today's digitally savvy world, good communication is no longer a nice to have; it's a fundamental necessity. With the volume of communication between healthcare systems and patients expected to increase over the next few years, it's essential for healthcare organizations to find the right communication solution. One area where timely, proactive communication with patients is essential is appointment reminders during their care journey. Hugely expensive and massively frustrating, appointment "no-shows" are more due to patient forgetfulness than to lack of consideration or effort. Recent research shows that 76 percent of respondents worldwide would like their healthcare providers to remind them of their medical appointments 1 . Avaya Patient Appointment Reminder addresses key contact points through the care journey, helping to improve appointment attendance rates and proactively increase clinical productivity through business intelligence and proactive, automated notifications.
