		<title>PRIMARY REASONS TO OFFSHORE PRODUCTION</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I used to be the corporate controller for the largest (at the time) disk drive manufacturing company in the world.  It was called Shugart Associates (yes, that would be Al Shugart).  We made all our products in Sunnyvale and never had any issues getting good quality labor to make them.  We were growing at 100% [...]]]></description>

		<title>First Half Report &#8211; 2012</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Has anyone noticed that it has been a while since we last posted a blog?  We have been trying out some of the latest and greatest social media tools to get our messages out and didn’t blog to see how the social media tools worked.  After about a year of posting on our Kula Facebook [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is It Hot, Or Is It Just Kula?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, it’s finally springtime, our tax returns are filed, or extended, and the hot job market seems to be getting hotter.  It’s about time don’t you think.  The job market started to cool in the summer of 2008, then went into an “ice age” for about two years, and now it’s starting to feel like [...]]]></description>

		<title>National Tax Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today is Tax Day.  Usually it’s April 15th, but, since this year seems to be different from all the rest of them, April 18th is the day when our federal and state income tax returns are due.  Tomorrow’s the day that tax preparers sleep in &#8211; - -until the day after tomorrow.  Since taxes, debt [...]]]></description>

		<title>KULA ADDS I.T. &amp; ENGINEERING PRACTICE</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few months ago a couple of our long-time clients approached us about helping them recruit staff for their I.T. and Engineering areas.  We’ve been asked to do this a few times over the eight years Kula’s been in business, but had always declined.  We declined these requests for two primary reasons:  1. We were [...]]]></description>

		<title>Help Us Beat Fidel Castro</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My last posting covered the power of social media to change the world.  At that time, the Egyptian people had taken to the streets and peacefully forced the government to resign.  Prior to that, the people of Tunisia used social media sites to do the same thing to their government.  O.K., they did have a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Who Knew?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few years ago Kevin Costner appeared in Hollywood at a fund raiser for Israel.  He told the audience he was there because he had Jewish ancestors and, therefore, felt close to Israel.  His speech was followed by long-time comic Jackie Mason, the King of one-liners, who simply said:  “Who knew?” (The shrug is implied.)  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Updated Kula Consulting Website</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you haven’t already done so, please take a look at our newest version of our Kula website at:  www.kulaconsulting.com.  It’s been a while (since around early 2008) since we updated the site, and lots of things have changed since then.  Our old version was more of a static, on-line brochure and didn’t provide many [...]]]></description>

		<title>Holiday Greetings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s less than ten days to Black Friday and there are only forty-one shopping days remaining until Christmas.  That also means there are only forty-eight days left in 2010.  For all you calendar year companies out there, year end is officially within sight.  Time for the accounting and finance folks to rack-up some huge overtime!  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Summer&#8217;s Over!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Summertime is one of the worst times of the year to be a recruiter!  The other time is the period from the last Monday in November through the end of the year.  These are the two times every year when it becomes very difficult to schedule people for interviews, and to get all decision makers [...]]]></description>
