As a private investigator sooner or later you’ll be asked to find out where someone works. This is called a current employment locate or a POE.

There are several reasons why a client may need to find out where someone works. But before you begin this job you should try to verify if the client has a legitimate reason to request a current place of employment locate. This way you prevent someone that may be a stalker from obtaining this information.

Permissible reasons for a POE:

1. Collection of a judgment

2. Child support enforcement 3. Service legal papers 4. Vehicle repossession 5. Fugitive recovery.

There are many other permissible reasons but as a profession you must use good judgment as with any investigation.

How to locate a person’s employment:

Old timers in this profession will immediately attempt a surveillance. They will try to follow the subject to work in the morning. This can be very costly to the client. You can begin a surveillance on a Monday morning at say 5 AM. The subject may have left already, they may work nights. They may be sick that day, on vacation or have that day off. Even if you catch him leaving the house you might lose him or get burned.

Surveillance can be expensive.

Another thing you can try is a curbside investigation. You drive by the house on trash day and take their trash bags from the curb. Try to replace their trash bags with decoy bags of the same color. You can bring your own but if the size and color don’t match you can get some from a neighbor.

(Be sure to check your local laws on curbside trash removal first)

You can also try a pretext call to trick the subject into revealing where they work. This is only advisable as a last resort and should only be attempted by an experienced telephone pretexter that can think fast. If you get burned on the phone you could blow the investigation.

Database services. There are little known databases that can reveal a persons employment. These are only available to licensed PI’s for legitimate permissible use.

Sources. Every PI has to be constantly developing sources with access to inside information that will act as tipsters to provide an investigator with the information they need.

Many times a PI will be too busy to do all this preparation and leg work on their own. Instead they will rely on another PI that brokers thins kind of information in bulk. They are already set up with the necessary databases, trap lines , pretext scripts and insider informants. They routinely buy and sell this kind of information all day long.

A PI may find it easier to outsource this kind of job rather than weed through someone else’s dirty garbage.

In the end the decision is up to you how you will locate a persons place of employment. You can get yourself set up and prepared for repeat jobs or farm it out to a PI that buys and sells this type of information.

There are plenty of people out there that really hate what they do for a living. Although they may have started out enjoying what they did, the oppression of being under a boss and working for a company can really wear on a person. One of the only ways to get out from underneath this type of lifestyle, however, is starting your own business. That is assuming, of course, that you don’t win the lottery or something similar to that. Do you want to know what the easiest business to start is, one that you can begin in your spare time? It’s a cleaning business.

What makes a cleaning business easy to start? Well there are three things, actually. First, cleaning is always in demand, especially if you are able to offer a service that other people do not readily offer. This particular type of business has very low startup costs and many people are able to begin their first jobs using a lot of the equipment that they use to clean their own homes. Finally, it doesn’t take a lot of cleaning contracts to be able to afford to quit your full-time job and concentrate on your business without distraction.

If you’re ready to take a leap, began notifying local businesses to tell them that you are starting up a new cleaning business. You may also want to tell your friends and family members that you are going to be doing this as well. Even though some of them may scoff at the idea, it may help you to land a contract at one of their places of employment. Make sure that you are neat and clean looking whenever you go out to talk to businesses as this will leave a very good impression, especially considering the type of work you’re looking for.

As far as the equipment that you need to start up a business, it all depends on the type of cleaning that you are going to be doing. For some kinds of specialized cleaning, such as carpet cleaning or floor scrubbing, the startup costs can be a little bit more expensive. It is often best to start out with some light office cleaning or perhaps residential cleaning in order to build up your finances to purchase the larger equipment. If it does become necessary for you to use these larger pieces in your office cleaning jobs, simply rent them from a local hardware store.

It takes a little bit of diligence on your part but if you do a good job for your existing clients, you will find that your client base grows at an alarming rate. In fact, many people who start cleaning businesses soon have to turn away work so that they can concentrate on their existing contracts. So if you are tired of working at your day job, starting a cleaning business is one way to free yourself from under that yoke.

Keeping warm in the winter can be a challenge, especially when you’re faced with high heating bills. Most people use space heaters and other direct contact heating to keep them warm while running their furnaces on low in the background. Whether you’re using propane tanks in Manchester CT, or power from your local energy company, there are ways to save on heating costs. Here are a few of them to get you started.

Whole Home Insulation

If you haven’t already done so, make sure that your home is fully insulated for the winter. It’s not enough to just insulate the attic and not the rest of the home, especially if you have an older structure. Your walls need to be insulated to keep the cold air from coming into the cracks and crevices of the outer walls of your home. You can have a company do this for you, or you can do it yourself. It’s one of the best ways to keep the heat in and save on heating costs in the winter.

Window Coverings

Your window coverings should have a thermal backing. Thermal coverings can help keep the cold out. You can also cover your windows with plastic to ensure that no cold air seeps in from that area. This is a simple task that can be done within a few hours, depending on the size of your home. When you’re out buying propane tanks in Manchester CT, stop and pick up a roll of plastic. It’s inexpensive and could make a big difference in the amount of cold air that enters your home from the windows.

Layered Clothing

When you’re at home in the winter, layer up your clothing to keep from having to turn up the thermostat. Add a layer of long johns to your normal clothing, and this could make a big difference in how you feel. Heavy sweaters that are easy to remove are also ideal in winter. Wool socks and other warm materials can be beneficial when the winter months arrive and you’re not able to pay for the increase in power needed to keep warm. You will need to keep your pipes from freezing, so turning your furnace off entirely to use a space heater or any other source of alternative heating is not recommended.

Start your search for propane tanks in Manchester CT now, and start seeing a difference in your energy costs.
