You may have noticed that each recent Search390.com newsletter featured a plea for tips. Well, the response from you has been less than spectacular.
I can't say I blame you. I know you are really busy. Finding the time to sit down and type out a tip can be tough. So this week we are offering a little incentive. If you jot down a CICS tip and send it to Search390.com, I will send you a free box of Kix! That's right, send me a tip and I will send you a box of the cereal if we publish it.
Now, you may ask yourself "why the hell would I want a box of Kix?" Well, first, the cereal is quite delicious. Second, and perhaps more importantly, the box would be a great conversation piece on your desk. It is a perfect opening for a debate with your colleagues over how to pronounce CICS. Is it See-Eye-See-ESS or is it Kix? (Also, the cereal could be a great emergency food supply for when you are working late).
Crafting a tip shouldn't take you too long. Just think of some time-saving short cut, trick or hint that helps you do your job better.
