I was speaking with an intelligent lady in her early 50’s and she was telling me about the number of job applications she had done but got no interviews!

This lady has plenty of experience and training but was still struggling to get employers to notice her.

Is this happening to you?

As a business owner this happens EVERY DAY! and you learn to keep digging and applying and calling and emailing. You also need to evolve and tweak and improve on every little aspect where you feel you could have done better.

Courses help to fill any knowledge gaps you have and the more job applications you do the more you’ll see what employers are looking for.

The key is to keep your chin up, take a break if you need to and start searching again.

House renovations and improvements are interesting projects which need good project management skills. Several years ago I had to erect a shed for a tenant and to show how naïve I was about building back then I just saw a nice sized shed advertised for $600 and thought that would do the trick – good size and nice and cheap.

Luckily I had a friend who was much handier than me and some staff who could help with the project.

Job Tracking (in MYOB) and Projects in Xero is a system where you can allocate job numbers to transactions and then run reports to show the income and expenses that relate to that job number. Seems pretty simple right?

The problem with proper project and job tracking is that it involves many people making sure that they use that job number. Not just office admin staff but the trades people who are working on site need to keep track of every aspect of the job.

In this case study you’ll see how the trades people going to Bunnings to buy screws and wood for the concrete slab need to keep track of their expenses, just like the tradies who picked up the 10 bags of cement from the depot.

A tricky transactions was when they needed the help of another staff member to come and help put the roof on the shed. This person had to come from another work site, spend 30 minutes helping and then driving back to the other site – it was 1.5 hours of time that needs to be tracked as an expense!
