Fred Harteis News Articles - Best cars with great gas mileage

Fred Harteis News Articles - You find plenty of lists out there of cars that get the best fuel economy. Those lists are easy to produce, but they aren't really of much use.

For example, the most fuel-efficient car on the market today is the Honda Insight, but do you really want to buy a rough-riding two-seater with no storage space? After all, you probably need your car to do more than just get you from one place to another. You might like to carry a few other people or some luggage. You might even want a little driving enjoyment from all those miles you're driving with each fill-up.

Edmunds.com, the people who provide automotive data and content for CNN's automotive Web sites, has select vehicles in five categories that get very good fuel mileage but that are also otherwise outstanding automotive values. There's no point to buying a fuel-efficient car that doesn't pay off in other ways.

Here are five -- a luxury car, family sedan, sports car, crossover SUV and a subcompact -- that are smart buys and easy on fuel. For each category, we've also mentioned two alternatives.

None of the top cars are hybrids. That's because, with their added cost, hybrids aren't really a good value from a purely economic standpoint. But we've provided a hybrid choice in some categories for those who are willing to pay more to burn less fuel.

Luxury Vehicle - Mercedes-Benz E320 CDI

Family Sedan – Toyota Camry

Sports Car – Chevrolet Corvette

Crossover / wagon – Toyota Rav4

Compact Car – Toyota Corolla

Fred Harteis News Articles - Who's Hiring the Class of '06: Hottest Jobs for Grads

Fred Harteis News articles - Thanks to an improving economy and healthy nationwide job creation, things are looking promising for the class of 2006.

Seventy percent of hiring managers say they plan to recruit recent college graduates in 2006, and one-in-four expect to hire more new grads than last year, according to CareerBuilder.com's annual survey on college hiring.

While the job market is generally favorable, certain occupations are particularly new grad-friendly. In its 2006 spring salary survey, the National Association of Colleges and Employers ranked the top jobs for 2005-06 bachelor's degree graduates by the number of job offers reported. The following, listed with their average starting salaries, topped the heap:

Accounting (private) -- $45,817
Businesses are scrambling to expand their accounting departments to deal with new pressures from the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and global expansion, said Blane Ruschak, national director of university relations at Big Four accounting firm KPMG. Young accountants are cashing in on these new jobs.

Management Trainee -- $38,482
Management trainee programs are intensive "boot camps" through which new graduates can learn about all facets of the organization, said Rosemary Haefner, vice president of human resources for CareerBuilder.com. This gives new hires from all educational backgrounds the benefit of shadowing others and getting more personalized training.

Financial/Treasury Analysis -- $46,335
Financial analysts help banks, insurance companies, mutual and pension funds, securities firms and other businesses make investment decisions, according to the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics. To get hired, candidates need stellar math skills -- therefore, business, economics, finance and mathematics majors will find themselves especially in-demand. Once hired, financial analysts should expect long hours, but many earn large bonuses that substantially increase their earnings.

Sales -- $38,830
New graduates make excellent salespeople because they're high energy, driven to success and undaunted by rejection. They also save their employers training time, Haefner said. Students hoping to start a career in sales should get involved on campus and use their résumés to demonstrate how they've used the traits of a successful salesperson in their everyday lives -- for example balancing school and work or playing competitive sports, Haefner explained.

Project Engineering -- $50,365
Globalization is translating into more job opportunities for engineering graduates, said Karen Clark, who leads the engineering recruitment effort for Washington Group International, a leading integrated engineering, construction and management solutions company. "The engineering fields are in-demand now because of the multitude of projects to help improve living conditions throughout the world," she said.

Consulting -- $50,120
The consulting market is bouncing back to levels not seen since 1999 or 2000, and that's translating into more opportunities for new graduates at both the bachelor's and MBA levels, said Archstone Consulting's Lauren Shapiro said. New graduates are raw talent, she said. "We know we can mold them."
Teaching -- $30,377
Job growth, retiring teachers and high turnover are creating good opportunities for new graduates looking for teaching positions -- especially in special education, math, science, some foreign languages and computer sciences, said Reg Weaver, president of the National Education Association.

Fred Harteis – Inspirational Favorite by Helen Keller


Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.


Helen Keller (1880-1968) was quite possibly the most remarkable person ever to grace our planet. Left deaf and blind as a result of a childhood illness at the age of 19 months, Helen Keller nevertheless became an articulate spokesperson for the dignity of all individuals.

That's why we're providing some quick quotes on the subject." Fred Harteis, Jody Victor

Harteis Business Insights: Getting A’s In Business

by Fred Harteis

When working with my potential or developing leaders, I keep the four A’s in mind. The letters remind me to Accept, Approve, Applaud and Appreciate.

Accept means that I accept my responsibility as the leader. I model the behavior that I want to see in my team.

The next three A’s remind me that people tend to thrive in an atmosphere where they are Accepted, Approved, and Applauded. Potential leaders will take risks and learn lessons if they are not penalized for the behavior.

Great leaders in every field know that acquiring and keeping good people is a leader’s most important task. Equipment tends to loose its value. People are assets. They can grow and add more value over time if the leader understands helps to develop their potential. That’s our focus at Harteis International and Harties Associates.

Harteis Business Insights: Movie and Music Phones

by Fred Harteis

If you yet haven’t watched video, movie clips or listened to audio on your wireless phone or other device, it is coming. The young adult audience is the most likely market. According to IDC From a technological point of view, a compelling video and audio experience over wireless networks and devices has arrived. IDC predicts that by 2009, over 30 million US wireless subscribers will be consuming commercial video/TV content and services over their wireless devices.

Like any new idea, there will be challenges. Some of the major challenges facing the commercial video and television marketplace will come from a content availability, network and handset capability. This combination is likely to keep penetration/use levels relatively low. However, IDC anticipates that annual revenue will still top the $3 billion mark within the next four years. It’s definitely a growth industry.
