I worked at Advanced Resource Managers (ARM) full-time (less than a year)
ProsThe people, for the most part, are a good bunch. There's generally quite a mix, which makes for a good workplace. They do make an effort for the social events and prizes. As far as recruitment companies go, there's far better and also far worse.
ConsStaff are generally treated as cash-cows. If you aren't hitting target you will likely not receive adequate support or guidance to enable you to hit target, other than being threatened with a formal warning or dismissal. The majority of recruitment jobs there are high stress and pressure 95% of the time. There is a constant rotating door of people getting sacked and hired which can make for an uneasy atmosphere - but this is probably common in recruitment.
Advice to ManagementAdviceWhilst there was some investment in people, and I appreciate that it's a sales oriented business, there was often a tendency to hit the panic button and leave people feeling stressed and isolated, rather than supported and enabled. At times this was due to line managers being under equal stress. It feeds down from the top really - but I suppose that's sales, right?

Eliphaz urges that the sin of sinners in their ruin. (1-5) God is to be regarded in affliction. (6-16) The happy end of God's correction. (17-27)
Verses 1-5 Eliphaz here calls upon Job to answer his arguments. Were any of the saints or servants of God visited with such Divine judgments as Job, or did they ever behave like him under their sufferings? The term, "saints," holy, or more strictly, consecrated ones, seems in all ages to have been applied to the people of God, through the Sacrifice slain in the covenant of their reconciliation. Eliphaz doubts not that the sin of sinners directly tends to their ruin. They kill themselves by some lust or other; therefore, no doubt, Job has done some foolish thing, by which he has brought himself into this condition. The allusion was plain to Job's former prosperity; but there was no evidence of Job's wickedness, and the application to him was unfair and severe.
Verses 6-16 Eliphaz reminds Job, that no affliction comes by chance, nor is to be placed to second causes. The difference between prosperity and adversity is not so exactly observed, as that between day and night, summer and winter; but it is according to the will and counsel of God. We must not attribute our afflictions to fortune, for they are from God; nor our sins to fate, for they are from ourselves. Man is born in sin, and therefore born to trouble. There is nothing in this world we are born to, and can truly call our own, but sin and trouble. Actual transgressions are sparks that fly out of the furnace of original corruption. Such is the frailty of our bodies, and the vanity of all our enjoyments, that our troubles arise thence as the sparks fly upward; so many are they, and so fast does one follow another. Eliphaz reproves Job for not seeking God, instead of quarrelling with him. Is any afflicted? let him pray. It is heart's ease, a salve for every sore. Eliphaz speaks of rain, which we are apt to look upon as a little thing; but if we consider how it is produced, and what is produced by it, we shall see it to be a great work of power and goodness. Too often the great Author of all our comforts, and the manner in which they are conveyed to us, are not noticed, because they are received as things of course. In the ways of Providence, the experiences of some are encouragements to others, to hope the best in the worst of times; for it is the glory of God to send help to the helpless, and hope to the hopeless. And daring sinners are confounded, and forced to acknowledge the justice of God's proceedings.
Verses 17-27 Eliphaz gives to Job a word of caution and exhortation: Despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty. Call it a chastening, which comes from the Father's love, and is for the child's good; and notice it as a messenger from Heaven. Eliphaz also encourages Job to submit to his condition. A good man is happy though he be afflicted, for he has not lost his enjoyment of God, nor his title to heaven; nay, he is happy because he is afflicted. Correction mortifies his corruptions, weans his heart from the world, draws him nearer to God, brings him to his Bible, brings him to his knees. Though God wounds, yet he supports his people under afflictions, and in due time delivers them. Making a wound is sometimes part of a cure. Eliphaz gives Job precious promises of what God would do for him, if he humbled himself. Whatever troubles good men may be in, they shall do them no real harm. Being kept from sin, they are kept from the evil of trouble. And if the servants of Christ are not delivered from outward troubles, they are delivered by them, and while overcome by one trouble, they conquer all. Whatever is maliciously said against them shall not hurt them. They shall have wisdom and grace to manage their concerns. The greatest blessing, both in our employments and in our enjoyments, is to be kept from sin. They shall finish their course with joy and honour. That man lives long enough who has done his work, and is fit for another world. It is a mercy to die seasonably, as the corn is cut and housed when fully ripe; not till then, but then not suffered to stand any longer. Our times are in God's hands; it is well they are so. Believers are not to expect great wealth, long life, or to be free from trials. But all will be ordered for the best. And remark from Job's history, that steadiness of mind and heart under trial, is one of the highest attainments of faith. There is little exercise for faith when all things go well. But if God raises a storm, permits the enemy to send wave after wave, and seemingly stands aloof from our prayers, then, still to hang on and trust God, when we cannot trace him, this is the patience of the saints. Blessed Saviour! how sweet it is to look unto thee, the Author and Finisher of faith, in such moments!
Job 5:1-27 . ELIPHAZ' CONCLUSION FROM THE VISION.
1. if there be any, &c.--Rather, "will He (God) reply to thee?" Job, after the revelation just given, cannot be so presumptuous as to think God or any of the holy ones ( Daniel 4:17 , "angels") round His throne, will vouchsafe a reply (a judicial expression) to his rebellious complaint.
2. wrath . . . envy--fretful and passionate complaints, such as Eliphaz charged Job with ( Job 4:5 ; so Proverbs 14:30 ). Not, the wrath of God killeth the foolish, and His envy, &c.
3. the foolish--the wicked. I have seen the sinner spread his "root" wide in prosperity, yet circumstances "suddenly" occurred which gave occasion for his once prosperous dwelling being "cursed" as desolate ( Psalms 37:35 Psalms 37:36 , Jeremiah 17:8 ).
4. His children . . . crushed in the gate--A judicial formula. The gate was the place of judgment and of other public proceedings ( Psalms 127:5 , Proverbs 22:22 , Genesis 23:10 , Deuteronomy 21:19 ). Such propylæa have been found in the Assyrian remains. Eliphaz obliquely alludes to the calamity which cut off Job's children.
5. even out of the thorns--Even when part of the grain remains hanging on the thorn bushes (or, "is growing among thorns," Matthew 13:7 ), the hungry gleaner does not grudge the trouble of even taking it away, so clean swept away is the harvest of the wicked.
the robber--as the Sabeans, who robbed Job. Rather, translate "the thirsty," as the antithesis in the parallelism, "the hungry," proves.
6. Although--rather, "for truly" [UMBREIT].
affliction cometh not forth of the dust--like a weed, of its own accord. Eliphaz hints that the cause of it lay with Job himself.
7. Yet--rather, "Truly," or, But affliction does not come from chance, but is the appointment of God for sin; that is, the original birth-sin of man. Eliphaz passes from the particular sin and consequent suffering of Job to the universal sin and suffering of mankind. Troubles spring from man's common sin by as necessary a law of natural consequences as sparks (Hebrew, "sons of coal") fly upward. Troubles are many and fiery, as sparks ( 1 Peter 4:12 , Isaiah 43:2 ). UMBREIT for "sparks" has "birds of prey."
8. Therefore (as affliction is ordered by God, on account of sin), "I would" have you to "seek unto God" ( Isaiah 8:19 , Amos 5:8 , Jeremiah 5:24 ).
11. Connected with Job 5:9 . His "unsearchable" dealings are with a view to raise the humble and abase the proud ( Luke 1:52 ). Therefore Job ought to turn humbly to Him.
12. enterprise--literally, "realization." The Hebrew combines in the one word the two ideas, wisdom and happiness, "enduring existence" being the etymological and philosophical root of the combined notion [UMBREIT].
13. Paul ( 1 Corinthians 3:19 ) quoted this clause with the formula establishing its inspiration, "it is written." He cites the exact Hebrew words, not as he usually does the Septuagint, Greek version ( Psalms 9:15 ). Haman was hanged on the gallows he prepared for Mordecai ( Esther 5:14 , 7:10 ).
the wise--that is, "the cunning."
is carried headlong--Their scheme is precipitated before it is ripe.
14. Judicial blindness often is sent upon keen men of the world ( Deuteronomy 28:29 , Isaiah 59:10 , John 9:39 ).
15. "From the sword" which proceedeth "from their mouth" ( Psalms 59:7 , 57:4 ).
16. the poor hath hope--of the interposition of God.
iniquity stoppeth her mouth--( Psalms 107:42 , Micah 7:9 Micah 7:10 , Isaiah 52:15 ). Especially at the last day, through shame ( Jude 1:15 , Matthew 22:12 ). The "mouth" was the offender ( Job 5:15 ), and the mouth shall then be stopped ( Isaiah 25:8 ) at the end.
17. happy--not that the actual suffering is joyous; but the consideration of the righteousness of Him who sends it, and the end for which it is sent, make it a cause for thankfulness, not for complaints, such as Job had uttered ( Hebrews 12:11 ). Eliphaz implies that the end in this case is to call back Job from the particular sin of which he takes for granted that Job is guilty. Paul seems to allude to this passage in Hebrews 12:5 ; so 1:12 , Proverbs 3:12 . Eliphaz does not give due prominence to this truth, but rather to Job's sin. It is Elihu alone (Job 32:1-37:24') who fully dwells upon the truth, that affliction is mercy and justice in disguise, for the good of the sufferer.
18. he maketh sore, and bindeth up--( Deuteronomy 32:39 , Hosea 6:1 , 1 Samuel 2:6 ). An image from binding up a wound. The healing art consisted much at that time in external applications.
19. in six . . . yea, in seven--( Proverbs 6:16 , Amos 1:3 ). The Hebrew idiom fixes on a certain number (here "six"), in order to call attention as to a thing of importance; then increases the force by adding, with a "yea, nay seven," the next higher number; here "seven," the sacred and perfect number. In all possible troubles; not merely in the precise number "seven."
20. power--Hebrew, "hands" ( Ezekiel 35:5 , Margin).
of the sword--( Jeremiah 5:12 ). Hands are given to the sword personified as a living agent.
21. ( Psalms 31:20 , Jeremiah 18:18 ).
22. famine thou shalt laugh--Not, in spite of destruction and famine, which is true ( Habakkuk 3:17 Habakkuk 3:18 ), though not the truth meant by Eliphaz, but because those calamities shall not come upon thee. A different Hebrew word from that in Job 5:20 ; there, famine in general; here, the languid state of those wanting proper nutriment [BARNES].
23. in league with the stones of the field--They shall not hurt the fertility of thy soil; nor the wild beasts thy fruits; spoken in Arabia-Deserta, where stones abounded. Arabia, derived from Arabah--a desert plain. The first clause of this verse answers to the first clause of Job 5:22 ; and the last of this verse to the last of that verse. The full realization of this is yet future ( Isaiah 65:23 Isaiah 65:25 , Hosea 2:18 ).
24. know--"Thou shalt rest in the assurance, that thine habitation is the abode of peace; and (if) thou numberest thine herd, thine expectations prove not fallacious" [UMBREIT]. "Sin" does not agree with the context. The Hebrew word--"to miss" a mark, said of archers ( Judges 20:16 ). The Hebrew for "habitation" primarily means "the fold for cattle"; and for "visit," often to "take an account of, to number." "Peace" is the common Eastern salutation; including inward and outward prosperity.
25. as the grass--( Psalms 72:16 ). Properly, "herb-bearing seed" ( Genesis 1:11 Genesis 1:12 ).
26. in a full age--So "full of days" ( Job 42:17 , Genesis 35:29 ). Not mere length of years, but ripeness for death, one's inward and outward full development not being prematurely cut short, is denoted ( Isaiah 65:22 ).
Thou shalt come--not literally, but expressing willingness to die. Eliphaz speaks from the Old Testament point of view, which made full years a reward of the righteous ( Psalms 91:16 , Exodus 20:12 ), and premature death the lot of the wicked ( Psalms 55:23 ). The righteous are immortal till their work is done. To keep them longer would be to render them less fit to die. God takes them at their best ( Isaiah 57:1 ). The good are compared to wheat ( Matthew 13:30 ).
cometh in--literally, "ascends." The corn is lifted up off the earth and carried home; so the good man "is raised into the heap of sheaves" [UMBREIT].
27. searched it . . . for thy good--literally, "for thyself" ( Psalms 111:2 , Proverbs 2:4 , 9:12 ).

48HFP Filmmaker goes to Sundance
Sundance Film Festival. It's one of the most internationally acclaimed film festivals in the world. Many filmmakers dream of one day having a film at Sundance. For 48HFP filmmaker Bryant Mock, that dream has come true.
Des Moines 48HFP filmmaker Mock worked on the film Prairie Love that was recently featured as part of Sundance's NEXT competition for low-budget indie films. The film centers on the relationship between a woman who has recently been released from prison, and a stranger who has stolen the identity of her boyfriend pen-pal. Prairie Love received its world premiere screening several weeks ago at Sundance. It was featured in the Huffington Post and reviewed by the Hollywood Reporter. We were able to get in touch with Mock after the festival to talk about his experiences.
What sort of work did you do for the film?
I was a producer on the film. Producing a low budget film means a lot of things. I would often go from finding things needed for the shoot to art department, wardrobe, gripping, and even playing a small role in the film.
Was there a point when you realized you were working on a really great project?
The shoot was very difficult in that we were in the Minot, North Dakota area Dec - Jan of 2008. A lot of the film takes place outside in the elements. It was a 'character' in the film itself. Needless to say shooting in -30 with windchill was challenging. That being said our crew was small and we had a great team effort. The acting really made it feel special and our DP Lawrence Schweich is a master at his craft. I would say it really hit home that we were on to something once principal photography started.
How was your first Sundance experience? What was it like seeing your film and being surrounded by brilliant filmmakers from around the world?
Sundance was simply amazing. Being around a collective group of people who share the same passion as you in such numbers is exhilarating. There is so much positive energy. When you're an independent filmmaker you're constantly being challenged with budgets and the restraints of your independence.
It's great to be around all those people who have done it like you. Sundance really has it going on for the indie filmmaker in that it really is about independent film. Yes, there are the 'big' budget indies but most of the films are not. They cater to the filmmakers with workshops, support systems, and having it in Park City which is a magical place in itself.
Do you think having a lower budget helped or hindered you? Do you think it's easier to make a film with a larger budget?
Obviously having more money for a film makes it easier, I think. It gives you latitude on having department heads or more crew and so on. Making a film for say $5 million is a challenge but making that same film for under $500K - now that's dedication. You are forced to be more resourceful and wear many hats. I think that makes you a better filmmaker. Did shooting this picture with a lower budget help or hinder? That's hard to say but for the most part I think it actually helped us. We were a small team and we were very dedicated. There was no animosity on set and it felt like family instead of hierarchy that you often find with big budget films.
Have you screened the film at other festivals? How about any plans for distribution in the works?
Prairie Love world premiered at Sundance which I have to say is a great feeling. The EP's have hired a PR firm to handle distribution and basically the future of the film. I am not at liberty at the moment to discuss those options. You may follow our website http://prairielove.com/ and see the press releases as to what moves are being made.
Now you're a 48HFP filmmaker as well--what has your experience been with the 48HFP?
I assembled a team and competed in my first 48 Hour competition at the 2009 48 Hour Film Project Des Moines Iowa. I thought it would be a good idea to see what happens when all of those crazy ingredients where combined in such a short time period. Let's face it, making films is hard enough, and doing it on such a level as the 48HFP hones your skills in a way that nothing else really can. We have a great team that I am really proud of. For everyone to give up their time and effort to produce such great things in a short time is exhilarating. We ended up winning for "Secretary's Day" Best of City-Best Actor-Best Acting Ensemble-Best Director-Audience Choice for our film. I had only intended to do just the one competition but it was so much fun we've been doing them since. We then went on to compete in the international which was great as well. Paris went on to win that one and deservedly they should of, it was a great film. Most of our team went to the Filmapalooza at NAB in Vegas that year and had a blast. I loved how Mark, Liz, Christina, and Ben organized the awards. They had other activities other than just the films that made it an overall event.
We then entered the 2010 48HFP Des Moines again and again we won Best of City-Best Use of Character-Best Use of Line of Dialog-Best Editing-Best Actress-Best Directing. We are once again attending Filmapalooza in Miami and are looking forward to a great time.
Have you learned anything from working on the 48HFP that you have been able to apply to your other films?
I think putting yourself in a position of making the best piece of film under the guidelines of a 48HFP is very challenging. I think it makes you a better filmmaker. You have to be great, fast, and everything else in 48 hours! That makes you a better filmmaker in the sense of your decision-making, economizing, and follow through. These are important steps if you want to be a filmmaker. I think overall it just works and it's a lot of fun. Even if you're not an indie or professional filmmaker by trade it's just a great way to be creative.
What's the next project you're working on?
2011 Eco Challenge!
Many thanks to Bryant Mock for taking the time to speak with us, and we wish him best of luck! For more information about Prairie Love, visit www.prairielove.com.

Pitching Your Film: The Inside Story
Larry Meistrich is founder and Chairman of Nehst Studios. He produced the Oscar-winner Sling Blade as well as You Can Count on Me, Croupier, and Belly, among many others. He created indy legend The Shooting Gallery and the innovative distribution company Film Movement.
48HFP Newsletter Editor Brian Bowers interviewed Larry about the pitch process.
As a movie producer, how often are you pitched projects?
I'm pitched all the time - at the dentist, with his hands in my mouth - at the grocery store, at my kid's school.
What sort of stage are these projects in when they're pitched? Script or treatment? Just a rough idea?
We get all types. But I want to explain that the real objective of a pitch - to us or anyone else - is simply to get them to say "I'd like to read that script." You see there are ideas and there is execution. People in the film business really buy execution. You might have a great idea, but what the producer wants to see is whether you can turn it into a shootable script. You don't need training to invent an idea, but you need lots of hours at the laptop before you can turn out a pro script - you need to be able to show the goods. We have made deals on ideas and treatments, but the writer has less leverage than when they are holding a shootable script in hand. If we have to hire someone to write from your idea that's a different value to us. Everyone has ideas. My dentist has ideas. What makes you marketable is having a great script that executes on that idea.
Tell us a little bit about what you think makes a successful pitch
A great pitch has to stand out from the thousands of pitches and scripts we see all the time. Ideally the pitch paints, in shorthand, an indelible picture of a unique main character in an unusual situation. The great pitch lets us think, "Oh, we could get that funded - that movie could make money." In order to do that, we like to see a character that a star actor will want to play. We want just enough to pique our interest so we start a dialog with you about the story and can't wait to read the script.
Who should filmmakers pitch their ideas to? Producers, directors, agents, etc.?
The term pitch - though standard in film, doesn't really capture what you need to be doing. You are "telling your story." You should be practicing telling your story to anyone who will listen - but - you really want to be pitching a qualified customer. You're not going to get many shots in front of a producer, so only do it when your project is ready. You can pitch to your friends, family and classmates for practice - but don't expect an industry reaction. An agent doesn't care about the pitch if you don't have a great draft. An agent can't sell a pitch, he can sell a screenplay. I wouldn't be pitching my ideas all over the place unless I had a strong draft of the script.
Where can they find these people to pitch to, and what is the best way to getting a pitch meeting?
The best way to get a pitch meeting is to be introduced by someone the producer knows and trusts. But that person isn't going to "use up" a favor unless your project won't embarrass him. You're just not going to get that many pitch meetings - make them count. You can also pitch your script to Nehst's on-line pitching service Pitch Nehst.
What's the best advice you can give filmmakers who have projects they want to get produced, funded, and/or distributed?
Pay your dues. Getting your script produced is just as hard as playing in the Superbowl, playing at Carnegie Hall, or doing brain surgery at Columbia Presbyterian hospital. The scripts that get bought are rarely the first script a writer has done. Just because you have Final Draft doesn't mean you are a pro - it means your work is formatted professionally. This business is as Darwinian as any - you need to commit to the work, be as ruthless as the next guy, and your planets have to be in alignment.

What I Learned from Jason Reitman
Jason Reitman speaks at Filmapalooza
Last week I was at NAB Show in Las Vegas attending Filmapalooza, the year end competition for the 48 Hour Film Project. Over 70 films from around the world were screened, all representing the Best 48 Hour Film from each of their respective cities. I had a great time watching the films, checking out the latest video gear at NAB, and of course soaking in a little bit of the Las Vegas nightlife. But the highlight of the trip for me was watching Jason Reitman speak.
Jason Reitman is the Academy Award nominated director of films such as Juno, Thank You for Smoking, and the current release Up in the Air. He flew in to deliver the keynote speech to a room filled with filmmakers from all around the world. The experience was incredible; Reitman is a very personable speaker and talks on a level that really connects with the younger filmmaking crowd. He talked about growing up in Beverly Hills, his long journey from film to medical school and back to film, and took questions from the audience.
Here are just a few of the highlights of what I learned.
Write the bad scripts first. Reitman prefers to direct films that he has also written the screenplay for because he really knows the dialogue and flow of the script will work on camera. But he didn't always write really great stuff. It took him a long time to develop his own style of writing, and he wrote a lot of bad scripts before anything worthwhile came out. An important part of developing writing skills is to really just keep doing it--get your ideas out onto paper, find out what works and what doesn't, and begin to develop your own voice.
Work with people you like. Though Reitman is not the first person to have said this, he stands by this mantra.There are tons of talented people in the world, so don't stress yourself out by working with talented people who are a pain to work with. Reitman states it best: "Do you want to be standing next to someone you hate on that day who is incredibly talented and gifted but you want to punch in the face? No, you want someone you can talk to."
Don't go for the "cool shot." Remember that the film is about storytelling, not a showcase for your camera techniques. Reitman and his regular DP like to keep each other in check, joking with each other about the "cool shots for their portfolio" when it looks like one of them may be straying from the storytelling aspect of the film in order to get too artistic with the cinematography.
There is no excuse not to make your film. Filmmaking has never been more accessible as it is now. Reitman recalled the old days when he was starting out and everything was shot on film, making for a time-consuming and expensive editing process. Now you can find a decent digital camera in nearly every big box store or electronics retailer you walk in to. All you need is a story, a camera, and a basic editing software. Reitman himself scrounged the money for his first film by selling desk calendars to his college. He challenged the filmmakers to stop making excuses and just go out and make your film with what you have.
Watching Reitman speak was in itself worth the trip to Las Vegas. He was insightful and inspiring, as well as encouraging to all of the filmmakers present. I'll look forward to continuing to watch his great films, and will hope for that Academy Award sometime in the near future.

Panasonic/48 Hour Film Project
HD Filmmaker Showdown Winner
Washington Improv Theater (WIT) won the 48 Hour HD Filmmaker Showdown with their fantasy short film, "Multiverse". "We're all still bouncing off the walls about the whole thing," said WIT's Director, Tyler Korba. The DC team was awarded a Panasonic HVX200 High Definition Camera at the 48HFP end-of-year event at the Cinequest Film Festival in San Jose, California. All five of the competing teams including Cincinnati, Des Moines, Nashville and San Francisco received Avid's Mojo Accelerator and HD Xpress Software for their participation in the Showdown. They were also loaned Panasonic HVX200 HD cameras during the event weekend, which helped immeasurably in making these five beautiful HD films.
The WIT Team has competed four times in the 48HFP. Their last 48 Hour Film, Occupational Hazard, won the 2005 audience award in Washington, DC, along with awards for best direction and best film. WIT's winning HD film was shown March 11 at Cinequest. If you didn't make it to San Jose, you can see the film here.

la tropezienne tote
by CLARE V.
While working in French television, Clare Vivier began making bags as a result of her busy travel schedule. She discovered a gap in the market for laptop cases that were functional yet stylish, inspiring her to create her own bag. The concept quickly parlayed into her now eponymous line of handbags and clutches that are as stylish as they are utilitarian. She attributes her sense of chic simplicity to her strong connection with France. Clare's design principle is timeless but her aesthetic is bold, always taking into consideration the elegant tension between modern detail and classic shapes.
