The Changing Future of Oklahoma Process Servers’ Job Security in Ten Years and the Need for Occupational Diversification

The Changing Future of Oklahoma Process Servers’ Job Security in Ten Years and the Need for Occupational Diversification

            It goes without saying that technology has changed our world in numerous ways.  An increasing number of students of all ages are studying online.  More consumers at the checkout counters can go through the process without too much assistance.  In fact, greater numbers of people are now even shopping from their homes and offices instead of in large stores like Wal-Mart and Target.  These are only a few of a plethora of examples of how technology is rapidly changing the lives and with it the careers of many professionals worldwide.  This also holds true for those who work as process servers in Oklahoma and elsewhere.

            An Oklahoma City process server, within the next ten years, may find himself or herself without a job.  That is right: with changes in technology, process servers may find that they no longer have a job.  Many process servers in Oklahoma City, Edmond, Yukon, Moore, Norman, Tulsa, Mustang, Piedmont, Lawton, and elsewhere have heard about how humans will eventually get served when they make a bank withdrawal, etc.  Of course, this should come as no surprise to Oklahoma process servers.

            With the increasing use of technology and the complete lack of privacy our world is embracing, everyone will soon know who did what, when, where, what they plan to do in the future, and where they are at any given moment.  This will not even require someone to live in a small, gossip-filled town, either.  It will and indeed already is taking place on a much larger global scale. 

Many E-mail programs such as Gmail and Yahoo!, as well as major social media sites such as Facebook, require the linking of a phone number with each account.  With an increasing number of people using cell phones with GPS tracking capabilities, tracking each person’s whereabouts is getting easier to do.  Many search engines and E-mail service providers are keeping records of all information each person has searched for and when, as well as comprehensive logs of E-mail communications and online conversations.  This, of course, is a process server’s worst nightmare – well, sort of.

            In the short run, all of this technology bodes well for process servers and Oklahoma City private investigators who use skip tracing to locate people – especially those who go from one county, state, or country to another.  There is a plethora of information out there just waiting for Norman, Oklahoma process servers and Oklahoma private investigators to utilize!  However, with the good also comes the bad, and the same kinds of technology that are helpful to process servers right and private detective agencies now will likely evolve and make the long term prospects for a process server much bleaker. 

Unfortunately, process servers in Oklahoma County, Canadian County, Payne County, Tulsa county, Cleveland County and others will not be the only professions that will suffer.  Other professional fields simultaneously held by process servers in Oklahoma, such as those who serve as mobile notaries, document retrieval specialists, etc., are already slowly beginning to disappear as more goods and services become available online.  This is why Yukon, Oklahoma process servers need to diversify the types of services they offer to meet the needs of their clientele.

Oklahoma Judicial Process Servers www.OklahomaJudicialProcessServers.com offers a very wide array of services.  This includes process serving, notary public services, bail bonds, private investigations, document retrieval, bodyguards, polygraph examiners, expert witness testimony, visa services, deception experts,  document translation, private security, and lie detection.  By offering a diverse number and type of services, Oklahoma Judicial Process Servers has added a cushion to its company’s overall profile.  As some services (i.e., notary public) eventually become obsolete, there are other services which the company can still perform.  Of course, this alone is not enough. 

In addition, all process servers and private investigation companies need to continue to expand into new fields, as they become available.  Over time, the demand for various fields (i.e., cyber security) will arise.  With these fields come the need for different education, training, marketing strategies, equipment, etc.  Process servers and Oklahoma City private investigators who embrace these newer areas first and form the best companies to service these needs will thrive well. 

It is important to remember that much of what many people have seen on Star Wars: The Phantom Menace www.StarWars.com but have written off (i.e., cloning, laser guns, battle droids, etc.), is becoming more of a reality each and every day.  Cloning has already begun, smaller “smart drones” are used more to search out potential battle areas, etc.  While all of these things are unlikely to happen tomorrow, they will come into play much more often as time passes.   

Fortunately for those already in the fields of process serving, document retrieval, notary public services,  polygraph examiners, etc., the end of these professions as we know them is not coming tomorrow.  Indeed, some areas like private investigation, while they may change in style and technique/method, will likely be around for some time to come.  However, for Oklahoma process servers, mobile notaries, and document retrieval specialists who do not plan to retire soon, anticipating which fields will change and how best to adapt to this changing technology will become increasingly vital.  

Lie Detection Tips and Tricks to Catch Liars in Oklahoma

Lie Detection Tips and Tricks to Catch Liars in Oklahoma

            At some point or another, everyone lies.  Some people consider certain lies to be harmless, but others contend that there is no such thing as a lie that does not hurt someone.  Whatever the case, many times lies do hurt others, and there are tips and tricks that lie detection experts use to avoid getting lied to.  The deception experts at Oklahoma Judicial Process Servers www.OklahomaJudicialProcessServers.com would like to share a few additional body language signals that people often do when lying. 

            One way in which a person’s body can show you that he or she is lying, is when the person tells such an outlandish tale that it starts to sound believable.  That is exactly right!  In an effort to make someone else think the lie is really true, a good liar in Oklahoma will intentionally try to embellish the lie to where others think it is something he or she could not just “make up”.  Unfortunately, such a lie is indeed just that – a made-up fallacy!

            Another deception indicator is when a person never points, especially when someone has accused him or her of doing something wrong.  If someone is speaking with conviction or authority, he or she will often point into the air or at someone else.  However, someone who is not standing on firm ground will be less likely to do so.  This is something else to watch out for when trying to determine whether or not an individual is lying or telling the truth.   

            Something else deception experts look for when trying to determine if someone in Oklahoma is lying to you, is to look at the direction the individual stands when speaking to you.  Lie detection experts can often find such people standing to the side of the individual or visibly wanting to leave.  This happens because the liar  in Oklahoma feels uncomfortable with directly facing an accuser, because it adds to the level of discomfort the liar feels.

            Another lie detection technique includes looking for phrases by people that depersonalize the situation.  If someone asks Mark if he stole money from the cashier’s box and he replies, “No, of course I didn’t!  Stealing is wrong.  You know how I feel about stealing!” . . . he is likely lying.  By making a statement like this, Mark is unconsciously trying to push the uncomfortable situation further away from him.

            These are just a few more indicators of lying that a person in Oklahoma trained in lie detection can help spot.  There are no absolutes, and there are a wide variety of other indicators that can indicate deception.  In addition, there are ways other than body language that an excellent lie detection expert can use to help bring out the truth.  These, of course, are items that the lie detection experts at Oklahoma Judicial Process Servers will discuss in a future article.           

The Body Never Lies: Deception Experts Share Secrets

The Body Never Lies: Deception Experts Share Secrets

Have you ever found yourself tired of being lied to?  Few, if any people, actually enjoy being lied to, but somehow everyone seems to tell untruths.  Of course, some people tell more lies than others do.  The deception experts at Oklahoma Judicial Process Servers www.OklahomaJudicialProcessServers.com would like to share a few secrets with you.  This way you can have a few indications of deception, which when taken as part of a whole scenario, can give you insight into whether or not someone is trying to lie to you.  Here are a few of many clues you can look for . . .

A person in Oklahoma or elsewhere who is trying to deceive you often avoids eye contact.  Why is this?  People who lie often feel very uncomfortable making eye contact with a person they are lying to.  If someone you are talking to really tries to avoid eye contact, then be on guard!  Of course, some cultures teach kids not to look at their elders in the eyes, so one must be sure to take the cultural aspects into perspective.

Another way in which a person might be deceptive is by shaking his or her head  side to side as if to say, “No” when making a statement.  This often indicates that the person you are speaking with has absolutely no confidence in what he or she is telling you.  Individuals often do this without even knowing it!

A skilled deception expert, whether in Oklahoma or elsewhere, would also spot someone who is likely to be lying, if the person covers his or her mouth or touches other parts of his or her head when making statements.  Often referred to as the “unconscious cover-up”, individuals often do this automatically when they are telling lies.  They unconsciously try to hide their mouth or face to “cover up” what they know they should not be saying.

Some people try to distance themselves from the person they are lying to by putting some sort of barrier in between the two of you.  This could be anything from a briefcase to a pillow or a glass of water.  This forms an unconscious barrier between you and that person.  This sometimes happens when people are uncomfortable with the situation, and it is a possible indication of deception.

Finally, watch out if someone ever says, “To tell you the truth,” or, “Not to offend you but . . .”  If these statements are not what that individual normally says, then whatever follows them is unlikely true or is meant to be offensive.  If something is true or the person does not mean to offend you, then the person does not need to state the fact that it is not a lie or something “non-offensive”.  The person’s words should speak for themselves, without having to justify it up front.

These are just a few indications of deception.  It is important to remember that it is vital that a person takes these indications of deception in conjunction with other clues and the situation as a whole.  Having a skilled deception expert on hand to help you can prove to be invaluable, so do not hesitate to contact one at (405) 593-3515 or by visiting www.OklahomaJudicialProcessServers.com.  Their lie detection division will help you in Oklahoma, another state, or around the world!
