Translating success: Network of language experts key to Pangea Lingua’s growth

August 1, 2005

Good translations are seldom noticed. But bad ones can become infamous. And Tamra Lewis has heard them all. There’s the “Got Milk?” slogan, which in literal Spanish means “Are you lactating?” Or classic examples, such as the name of Chevy’s Nova automobile-understood as “No go” in Latin America. As the CEO of locally based Pangea Lingua, Lewis, 38, aims to keep her clients’ translations from becoming the next Internet joke. Now and then, that means nudging a company away from…

Accounting employees in demand: Sarbanes-Oxley requirements spark hiring surge of experienced accountants, creating openings at smaller firms

July 25, 2005

Little did Josh Malarsky know five years ago when he began pursuing his master’s degree in accounting that firms would be hiring in such unprecedented numbers. But that was before federal legislation tightening auditing and accounting rules and regulations turned the profession on its head. Known as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the law and its stiffer controls have caused accounting firms and corporations to ratchet up staffing numbers. The Big Four firms that audit public companies mostly are searching for seniorlevel…

Builders pine for acreage: Earlham expects big bucks from land freed by deal

July 11, 2005

Like vultures circling a lone man in the desert, local developers and home builders are jockeying to swoop in and take 413 acres of prime Carmel land when owner Earlham College gives it up following its settlement with Conner Prairie. But Earlham, recognizing the prominence of the last large undeveloped tract in eastern Carmel, isn’t going gently. Interested parties-more than two dozen, at last count-will be required to undergo a formal proposal process before one can feast on the farmland….

City to land more aircraft mechanics: Lease calls for Republic to add 186 jobs

June 13, 2005

Republic Airways Holdings plans to add nearly 200 aircraft maintenance jobs at Indianapolis International Airport, based on employment projections in a lease the carrier recently signed for a new hangar. The Indianapolis-based regional carrier that employs 114 mechanics here “agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to achieve average employment of 300 full-time Indiana resident employees at the facility … at an average salary of $18 per hour during the first year,” states a lease signed April 15 with the Indianapolis…

‘Rat’ campaign targets projects: Union-hired protesters picket non-union contractors

May 23, 2005

Union supporters have no plans to exterminate the giant rats that have become a common sight downtown, as they continue to pressure certain contractors to pay what they consider fair wages. That is the message from the Indiana/Kentucky Regional Council of Carpenters, the labor organization that has adopted the rodent as its mascot for a campaign targeting various downtown construction projects. Organizers said the effort is twofold: to create public awareness that union contractors are losing work, and to better…

NOTIONS: College course proposal: How to apply for a job

May 2, 2005

Hetrick has the week off. In his absence, this column, an adaptation of one that appeared on April 14, 2003, is being reprinted. The first line of the first song in the musical comedy “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying” is “How to Apply for a Job.” That’s also the name of the course I’m proposing to any university that will buy it. I offer this proposal to my friends in academe because many of the candidates they’re…

Accounting firm looks overseas for help: Sarbanes-Oxley business sparks need for extra hands

April 18, 2005

Zietsman is one of several employees of PricewaterhouseCoopers who are in the United States to temporarily help the global accounting firm complete client audit work created by the 2002 Sarbanes-Oxley corporate-accountability law. One rule, Section 404, requires corporations to assess the internal accounting controls they have in place to ensure their financial reporting is accurate and reliable-and requires accounting firms to vouch for those controls. Many public companies had to devote thousands of employee hours and millions of dollars to…

It isn’t just $hopping: Retail buyers have to do a lot of analysis and numbers-crunching

March 14, 2005

“I can’t think of one thing [I don’t like about my job],” said Demmary, whose title is merchandise manager. “For my personality, it’s a great fit. But some people may not like how detailed you have to be, and how much computer work there is. I’ve heard other salespeople say, ‘How can you stare at that spreadsheet all day?’ But if you don’t like to work the numbers and be at the computer a lot, you wouldn’t like it.” Demmary’s…

Giving women a boost: Companies use in-house programs to maximize the potential of female employees Crowe Chizek and Co. LLC Rolls-Royce North America

February 14, 2005

While men and women are often hired in equal numbers, inequities tend to crop up once employees reach management level and above. For innovative companies, the race is on to move more women into the management pipeline. “I think it is a trend in companies that have been smart enough to take a look at their promotion patterns over the last five to six years,” said Nancy Ahlrichs Raichart, author and founder of Indianapolis-based EOC Strategies, a human resources consulting…
