Where are Australian's future work?

Just recently read two news about jobless: "Telstra, origin and iluka cut 1,200 jobs" and "I couldn't even buy a job" about a 61-year-old Sydney woman received more than 500 job rejections. The lady even couldn't planned to enjoy her retirement years.

It lets me seriously think about the career development and movement. While the company couldn't offer the long term positions due to uncertain economy, we (employees) should improve or develop the skills and enhance the value to the company.  For above lady, she could learn more skills such as  accounting, bookkeeping, Internet, social media, creative writing, cooking, gardening, baby sittings... rather than just applying for office and Administrator job.

In addition, we should make our finance and retirement planning as earlier as possible. Learn various investment areas such as stock market, managed funding, investment property and get advices from Finance planner.   

Moreover, people would think about "StartUp" (start a new business if they have a great idea). I like this article "Being an Entrepreneur: The best advice I received". The author Nick Ellsmore started his IT security company in 2000 and sold it to BAE systems in 2010. He is very proud of, to have started, acquired, merged, and ultimately sold the company successfully. This is a good example for another path to successful life while compare with "stable jobs".

SharePoint 2013 error - "Application error when access /_vti_bin/client.svc"

I had been received a error message " Application error when access /_vti_bin/client.svc, Error=Path '/_vti_bin/client.svc/ProcessQuery' is forbidden " when try to add user account to a user group in SharePoint 2013 Portal . I searched the issue in google and found out it may related to security issue in local folder  "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\ISAPI" of " /_vti_bin/client.svc ". I verified the user permission on this folder and found out that "IUSR" for IIS is not there, and so I granted user account "IUSR" read and execute permission in this folder. I went back to try add user account in SharePoint again, and it worked successfully this time! This issue is related to error "The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again." which can be resolved using above configuration. In addition, if this error still occur, check the windows features in con

Enable the Microsoft Power BI report file type (.pbix) in SharePoint Search

Image
By default, the Microsoft Power BI report file (.pbix) is not in the list of file type in SharePoint 2013 search configuration in Central Admin, and so you wouldn't open the Power BI file directly by clicking the link from the search result page. However, it's easy to add this file type by following configuration. Open “Central Admin” site, and then go to "Manage service applications”->”Search Service Application XX” (use the actual name of the “Search Service Application” in your site). Click on the “File Type” in left side navigation. Click the New File Type button and type PBIX (no period needed) in the File extension box and click OK. Restart the Search Service: Go to local “services”, stop the SharePoint Server Search service and start it again. Reset Your Index: Back on the Search Administration page within Central Administration you will want to click on the Index Reset link under Crawling on the left side menu. Press the Reset Now button.
