We have had numerous clients bring in HP Photosmart printers recently with a very common "Ink system has failed" error. HP does not have very good documentation on the user side for what causes this error, nor solutions to fix it. In fact, many of the solutions that have been proposed provide a simple possible solution and indicate if it does not resolve, that it requires service.
It appears that the printers begin to have this issue after about 12-14 months, conveniently after the 1 year warranty coverage timeframe, or when it has reached a certain page count. We have been able to succesfully clear this error on numerous printers that have been brought in. There is not one simple solution that works, the solution has required different fixes for different models, however, we are repairing the units for a flat 1/2 hour fee of $35.00

Don't judge a book by its cover... Not true for Recruiters.
Of course, we have all heard the line "Don't judge a book by its cover."
The sad part about this statement is that it doesn't apply for the majority of recruiters and job hunters.
Your book cover is your resume and really is the judgement factor of whether or not you will be emailed or called upon by a recruiter. To be brutally honest, if your cover is no good, you are only hurting yourself.
Regardless of whether you have great experience, a wonderful education, and skillsets and real-life scenarios to back it up, it has to be presented properly in your resume for it to stand out. Most recruiting firms are working through tools such as Monster, Yahoo, Talent Bank, etc. The search engines built into these tools are searching out keywords, content, and skillsets. Just as a search engine finds your website.
Take some time to review your resume and clean it up. Put yourself in the position of the recruiter and change the scenario to a bookstore. Make your book stand-out on the shelf and intimidate someone to pick it up.
Here are a few simple tips to help out:
- Summarize yourself in an introduction paragraph for viewers. Like cliffsnotes for your resume. Short, sweet, and to the point.
- Only list relevant professional experience applicable to the career path you are choosing. If you don't have much professional experience to show, obviously, you are limited to what you have to put down.
- Keep your job description and specifics of what your role was neat and to the point. Don't ramble on and repeat yourself. Consider your resume an outline.
- If you have superior education and limited work experience, list your education first.
- While hobbies are useful for an assortment of positions, they are not generally an area that is critiqued when looking for a potential candidate.
- Talk yourself up, but don't be a bragger. Bragging on your resume is the equivalent of bragging to a group of friends. Nobody likes it.
There are numerous other resume tips and suggestions for helping make the cover of your book stand-out.
If you are interested in assistance in revising and re-writing your resume to stand-out, please don't hesitate to contact us at 248.616.9600.

Keeping your website fresh and up-to-date
This is a situation that we come across constantly. Most businesses do not feel that their website is worth investing any time and money into. Feeling that it is not a method by which they obtain business. However, most of these companies are spendings hundreds to thousands of dollars on advertising in magazine, newspaper, billboard, google, etc.
There is no question that the statistics speak for themselves in terms of the power of advertising on the net as opposed to advertising on paper. Your population is numberless and reach-out capacity is priceless.
Most people have become somewhat computer-savvy these days. When they want to find something or are looking for a service, they go right to the Internet. At that point, if you haven't gotten yourself listed on the search engine sites either through their own local advertising or through your websites content, you will be stepped all over by those who have.
Spend some time and work on either creating a website for your business, or refreshing and updating your current website.
- Update any information that is old and out-of-date.
- Keep the site lively and interesting to potential visitors
- Incorporate clean content that is readable and understandable.
- Perform updates or refresh to your website in a different area, DO NOT perform updates to your website LIVE so that it is down or "under construction" during re-work.
T-Tech Solutions would love to assist in any refresh, face-lift, or content revision to your website. Please feel free to contact us with any questions, concerns, or analysis of your current site.
