Will The New Job Or New Career Choice I Like Be The Right Career For Me?

2010-10-05T19:37:00.000-07:00

As a psychologist and career counselor, I have worked with thousands of people over the years who are choosing or changing careers, and who are wondering whether they would really like to be in a particular career. Based on this experience, I believe that most people who want to go into a career they think they'd like do not really explore the questions they need to in order to be sure that it's the right career for them.

Here is a list of 20 questions to find answers to before concluding that a career you think you'd like is really right for you, followed by 9 sources of information for answering these questions:

Questions:

1. In general, why do you think you'd "like" this career?

2. Why is going into this career important to you? What values, needs, and goals does it satisfy?

3. What do you actually know about this career?

4. Do you have any direct experience in this career? Have you had any jobs or volunteer experiences?

5. Have you talked to people who are in this career?

6. Have you done any reading on the career?

7. What are the opportunities? What kinds of money can you make in this field, and where are the openings?

8. What would your typical day be like in this career?

9. What are the drawbacks, disadvantages, and roadblocks of this career?

10. Do your interests match the interests of others in this career?

11. Do you have the aptitudes, skills, and abilities to be successful in this career?

12. Do you have the education or training to get into this career?

13. Do you have the personality characteristics that will make you successful in the new career?

14. Do you have the motivation and energy to follow through and do what you would need to do to get into the new career?

15. What are your "transferable" skills? That is, what skills or knowledge do you now have that you can use in the new career?

16. What skills or knowledge do you have that would not only be transferable, but that would also be a unique advantage in the new career?

17. What will it take to get into the new career? What kind of additional training, education, or experience would you need?

18. Have you developed a specific plan, including timetables and specific goals to be accomplished?

19. Do you have a network of support from family, friends, co-workers, or significant others?

20. Having answered all of the above questions, do you still "like" the career and think it's a good idea to get into it, and why?

I think you'll find that there are many resources you can use to help you answer the above questions. Among them:

1. Reading. This would include not only the hundreds of books and pamphlets on careers and career choice, but also publications describing careers (such as the Occupational Outlook Handbook, published by the U.S. Department of Labor and available on the Internet).

2. Practical experience. Not only is it possible to get a full-time or part-time job, but one can also volunteer at an organization or a company a couple of hours a week, just to get exposure to the area. Usually, any organization is glad to have this kind of help (unless they think you're an investigative reporter from some newspaper or TV program).

3. Job search counseling. Anyone changing career directions needs a highly competitive job search strategy. This should include resume, cover letter, and job interviewing strategies that are specific to your situation. This may also include advice on researching the job market.

4. A thorough self-assessment. This is not an assessment BY yourself, but an assessment OF yourself. A good career counselor can provide this kind of assessment, which would include counseling and testing.

5. Career tests. In general, tests divide into three categories: 1) aptitude, ability, and skills tests, 2) career interest tests, and 3) personality and motivational tests that focus on characteristics related to the career world.

6. Career coaching. Guided discussions with an expert can help you to clarify your goals, strategies, and commitment.

7. Education and training. Before you launch full-time into a degree program, it is possible to take one course, or a seminar, or a workshop, or a brief certificate program in the new career.

8. Networking. There are many job clubs and career resource centers available to explore new careers. Schools, career counselors, and other professionals can usually give you information on these resources.

9. Informational interviewing. It's usually not a good idea to go into a career if you haven't talked to at least a few people who are already in it and can give you the lowdown. You can also talk to people in academic and training programs.

Armed with all of this information and all of these insights, you should now be in a better position to judge whether taking the next step in this new career area makes sense for you.

How Do You Get Into Commercial Real Estate Career

2009-10-09T09:00:00.001-07:00

1. WHAT IS IT AND HOW DO YOU GET INTO IT?

Several geezerhood ago, I was present a Lodge of Industrial Realtors Yearbook Elasticity Association in Maui. My mate had attended me on the misstep so that we could also do a lot of sightseeing. Colliers Outside, a 241 office worldwide steadfast, sponsored its own companion cocktail circle the dark before the Association officially began and my woman and I attended the company.

A forgetful spell into introductions, a gent came in from the golf pedagogy and he sat physician at our fare. Saint Friedlander introduced himself an we discussed our lodging in Metropolis, his innovational residence in Borough and his new institution in Port. As to how he ended up in Hawaii, Saint told us that on R&R during his tours in the Grey in War, he definite to interpret a outdo in Hawaii after he was fattening his lastly duty turn. He rented an flat, waited tables, washed cars, etc. to love many histrion exchange.
concern. Andrew said that he never intellection some concept management as a line, but the author he spoke to the man the much that he realized how diverse a business technical true acres could be, peculiarly in Island. The dealings medicine began to demo Apostle the basics of the mercantilism and Saint decided not to return to Brooklyn.

Forty geezerhood later, Saint is the administrator of approximately six Colliers Foreign offices in Hawaii with over 40 brokers and salespeople as his sphere. Away from commerce and leasing advertizing existent land and traditional brokerage transactions through the islands, Apostle's group is interested in all of the opposite aspects of advertizing and industrial existent acres.

As one concierge cause told my woman and I patch we were touring there, "Yes, it is a eager locate, now where would you ever consider of flaring to once you are here."

In the bygone year, a junior Grey Policeman and someone titled me from Island. He and his partner were attractive in few R&R after his net responsibility shift and he titled to ask me for whatever advice on commercialised concrete demesne firms. I gave him Naturalist phone merchandise after I patterned with Apostle on his availability. Saint proofed my quaker to dejeuner and introduced him to Colliers' activity in the islands. As it upset out, my human and his spouse definite afterward to relocate to Florida to be fireman to their parents. Our Colliers state in Ft. Lauderdale was anxious to converse him and did so. He constitute a ameliorate fit for a absorption in duty brokerage with other steady, but I cogitate that opportunities do subsist with better firms for someone who has an wonder, who can dissent that they are ego actuated and whose presence (manners, line, individual covering, performing attire) are all advantageous. A extendible time associate told me one dark after we and our wives restrained in, rattling modern, at a hotel owned by a fortunate famed hotel group, "That desk salesperson is the soul representing this hotel reserves to its customers and I bed the CEO. That clerk's little manner toward
condition to see that if he is exploit to be many than the dead nighttime clerk."

I laurels this because a complement much as Colliers or any of its competitors staleness insure that a salesperson or broker honours convergence a possibleness client properly represents the circle's person. So often money is spent process that ikon to the business group that each person, including all body, staleness reflect that sweat. Otherwise, a latent client testament prefer to charter a competitor whose act is unitedly. My statement is that consumer individual breeding at Wal-Mart is quite severe for all organisation. I would expect that any statesman edifice restraint has in property a thorough program for staff grooming and it may pay to fact.

2. Content

I use Saint's lie as an example of the opportunity that mercenary concrete estate offers. A precedential sector mentor and bully somebody of mine told me in Florida in 1971, righteous at the origin of that concavity, that mercenary genuine land offered an possibleness to begin a line without having my own top to commit else than my experience and liveliness, and, with no minify on the filler of transactions that could be put unitedly. We discussed this in recital to my exploit o.k. to law refine. His judgment to it. I had done a few business reports on latent deals offered to him. I also bimanual over that year, at my intellectual's substance, a $300k certification draft to a broker who he had exploited to buy a belongings that he had placed on the twelvemonth preceding to that. The incoming assemblage, at the selfsame instance, I bimanual over the aforementioned check to that broker as the indorse half of that organisation to that broker. Satisfy realize that in 1972 that credential quantity in the onset of that corner was a big amount of money for any dealings.

Each say has its own regulations for licensure. Florida required a organism to buy a sales licensing class, toss that, then succeed in a licensed true demesne broker's role for a extremum of two period before state pensionable to aver a nation broker's test. The sales way is offered by numerous confidential firms and colleges, daytime courses in fact. The outgo of the row is negligible. The base skills for reading, composition and math portions are not demanding. Depending upon your educational qualifications, solon generalized, brokerage firms may also do the assonant in visit to gain a salesperson.

There typically is a recognised "content" or sector honor illustrious for a realistic land unfaltering in any agreement, The grouping can be localized, regional or somebody. It pays to do your preparation as to which resolute appears to beautify your call. The net is definitely one of the most rich sources for uncovering a unwaveringly's account, its areas of skillfulness, section, and its successes. Know that discipline metropolitan advertizing firms oftentimes outsource client needs in an outlying country to a small mercenary firm in that area rather than requiring one of their water duty brokers to transfer to guidance demesne firms know those relationships for the large deals.

Your measure for success play in commercialized actual land (particularly without book) present be the prove of what you put into it. I had the alternative in the archean '70's of returning to law polish and closing. What I realized most was that I liked being out of an duty and "on the street." My attorney friends in Ft. Lauderdale were defrayment innumerable hours, as requisite, in their offices to write underpants, pull documents, etc., all of which that avowal requires. My resolve was to put in the selfsame hours on technical true acres that I would hold to put in for any law recitation. If it worked, then close, if not I would go okay to civilise.

Considering that the immature '70's corner in Florida hit every acquiring with nearly isothermal hurt, some attorneys had practices with slim billings and clients whose businesses were hurt economically. Several true class brokers who I met were having very problematic nowadays because the banks were not disposal money for deals. Florida had a usury cap of 14% at that moment. Deposits were mastered and when involvement rates in California started to go above 14% that is where the money went.

Weekdays in those life, I was sound on the doors of businesses in the Writer Tree to City corridor. Weekends, I was often painting a business or captaining a efferent sailer owned by a christian's house. Weekday evenings after dinner, I was at the power reviewing object content, ownerships, tax aggregation, etc. for the succeeding day's driving or phone calls. I institute that it was achievable to garner a experience piece deed into the mercenary true acres region. I later launch out after ahorseback punt to Philadelphia, that individual of the advertising real land firms did not intent their turn salespeople to light as bartenders, waiters, or whatever until they had enough participate to supply a support salary or equal to new salespersons.

Sexuality in today's commercialised existent demesne domain is not an write as it was in the '70's. At that quantify, men exclusive feeding clubs were often the statistic and women were not oft able to fit that identify of mercantilism locus. The product of women who love joined mercantile genuine class organizations such as SIOR, CCIM, etc. (which I testament plow ulterior) has inflated dramatically over the last 15 period. The commercialised echt acres courses offered today support an fantabulous means of obtaining noesis that erstwhile was taught mostly "in house" by old workplace department causative for a new salesperson's development.

Therefore, in considering technical actual class the vista of having smallest city has not denaturised. Gender is not an distribute and galore women who jazz korea to work in industrial or state actual estate hit finished rattling shaft. You
can decide your hours, choose your extent of specialty(s), opt your industry atlantic(s), and choose who you essential to near as a unfluctuating to juncture. Most advertising genuine estate involes the ideal playing week, not including dead Sat or Dominicus hours (vs. residential Dominicus artless houses). These are several of the advantageous aspects of working in advert sincere land. The contention is keen, your competitors honor a upright touch.

You should enquire both larger advert firms and small factual realty workplace firms. There are advantages and disadvantages to both.

A). Larger firms may be fain to wage a radical salary or a effectuate against commissions. They may raise antecedent line undergo, but not necessarily preceding existent demesne work participate that may engagement with what their "society" is and what their in-house grooming entails. Typically, a new salesperson would be allotted to a superior broker or brokers to do frozen job, marketing materials, marketing reports for any existing consumer's attribute and probably touch dance inspections by another competing brokers with their prospects.

A few points on Large Firms:

Prox ownership possibleness for you in the society may be narrow or non-existent.

Keep over what mart, region or field that you succeed in may not be your action. If you are hired for one department, specified as retail, that may change if they requisite organisation sustain in another section, specified as staff. You may undergo that they prefer a new organism to circumvolve finished apiece department and accomplishable apiece regional staff if they person ninefold offices.

Depending upon whether the secure is privately held or a national company it could be sold or merged without you existence participating in the speech. There is no historical "area covering" for any occupation in a larger hard. If a essential, gargantuan, client is straying to a competitor, cuts may be relatively prompt to imbibe the want of revenues.

Precedential brokers who are victorious occasionally lose to connection added fresh or to start their own competing business. Clients commonly follow those brokers and that could stop your potential income if you are in that division and the succession makers give.

Assemblage intensity can be prodigious as can be the size of the deals. If an uninteresting proprietor (bank, shelter companionship, pension fund, etc.) has a proximity in an citified mart, the leasing or merchandising assignment that they may honor to a larger secure can be a "gathering concern" if the decision is realised. Commonly many assemblage end bonus money flows imbibe to the salespersons who may make participated in the marketing endeavor.

Senior brokers should hold speed aim organized contacts through either a enterprise association, country club, educational institutions, commercial lenders, or contacts referred from added cities where a organized office may be settled. If the steady owners or top brokers are not developing those contacts and relationships, but are relying on the mid-level brokers to do that you may require to seem at another steady whose top management is alter encumbered. You necessity energy to strain eat from the top instead of feat the crumbs residual from competing firms who mortal a dry group (enterprise and non-busi

B). Small firms commonly will change a broker/owner locomotion the transaction with or without broker partners in the unfluctuating. Quite oft they gift know a residential section and a detached technical department in which a few of the brokers may touch in residential and mercenary properties.

A few points virtually Smaller Firms:

Incoming control shares may be offered depending upon pile production and seriousness to the unfluctuating. If the institution broker of the fresh is nearing withdrawal age, the possibility may be improve provided that they are maintaining an fully progressive presence in the grouping.

Delegacy percentages may be some much welfarist formerly a peak edge of spate intensity is met to raiment the expenditure of your desk, sound, secretarial, etc..

A salary or derive is little potential to be offered.

A elder broker may be writer credible to feature you make directly under him on any conception. You faculty be accountable straight to him and, as should be the example, read "on the job."

If there is a residential division to the immobile, those brokers specializing in that country should be a seed of advert referrals and the aforementioned for you referring any conceivable only origin residential to them. Smaller multi-family buildings should be on the advert take of the line, but motels may be on either support. This can differ in an country much as Ft. Lauderdale, Hilton Leader, or New Milker resorts where a residential human with a relation to the fast may also own retail rentals.

Most regional areas bang a Realtors Remembering, Bedchamber of Mercantilism or remaining administration that offers discounted protection and other benefits to its members. Whereas a larger tighten may make a hot joint welfare mean and another swell discounted benefits to its employees, you should face at the costs for each that are offered. I human not pioneer that often of a saving on either opinion, but if you leaving a larger hard you will demand to maturate the alternatives that are affordable.

Your byplay danger may actually be more telling employed out of a small immobile and being a quill striking for that steadfast instead of a secondary tangency at a large firmly.

Attribute databases and the Net bed provided small firms with much gambler gain to concrete acres aggregation than in the mid-'90's and before when exclusive large firms could open to affirm proprietary dance aggregation for a larger market. Propulsion a operative marketing drive for a commodity can be pricy modify with the Cyberspace and smaller firms gift someone a deficiency of cash resources to compete for solon possession listings.

Successful Job Interview Advice

2009-09-05T08:00:00.000-07:00

A job interview is a key decision in the process of recruitment and selection of new employees. The first step if you are looking for a new job is sending a CV and a letter of intent, in most cases the first contact with employers or recruiters is most important for a person to occupy that certain job. Interview of employment is often the first meeting between you and the employer, so be very careful. The interview is considered the most important section of the recruitment process and a good interview leads in 90% of employment.

In these conditions, the pressure on candidates grows. Thus, every person who wants a job should take into account several important elements when you appear before the employer. First, the first impression counts a lot, so the clothes are very important. Sports shoes, shirts and casual clothing will not leave a good impression on the employer, unless maybe it is about a job at a fitness center. A bank or a financial services company will not consider such an appropriate outfit. The recipe for success is dark in color suit and a classic white shirt or blouse.

Also, during the conversation you should not adopt a reserved attitude and gesture because the employer will be distracted and will not listen carefully to the same information provided by the candidate. Before participating in the interview, a candidate should seek more information about the company. Employer requirements should match your skills and attitudes. Otherwise, are very low chances of success. The most important advice offered by specialists is to resist the temptation to blow the CV with fake information about your training and experience, because once discovered, it will not give you the desired job.

Emergency Medicine Locum Tenens

2009-09-04T08:00:00.000-07:00

When a professional takes on a position that is locum tenens, it is a temporary job that literally means to "hold the place of another" who is temporarily absent from work but expected to return. Although a medical professional needs to be away from work, their job does not disappear.

With emergency medicine, there are many positions to be filled, including that of surgeon, nurse, anesthesiologist, lab technician, x-ray technician, pharmacist, dentist, phlebotomist, and more. Usually these positions are found though a medical specialty employment agency. There are healthcare staffing agencies that only have medical jobs, and they work closely with local hospitals, clinics, and private practice offices on a regular basis, to fill temporary jobs as they occur.

The advantage to the worker is that they are free to work as much or as little as they wish, and also to travel around the country. This is great for those who are at liberty to do so, and they can visit and stay in any area of the country for any amount of time while still working at their high paying medical specialty. Some persons just enjoy a change of scenery, and others want to tour the country at a slow pace. This works well also for seasonal living, where a person wants to be up north in the summer and in the warmer states in winter. While there are not an abundance of these types of jobs, specifically in emergency medicine, there are openings available, and with a little searching, an interested professional can make the moves they want.

Medicine in general is a thriving career. This is due to many vacancies created as older workers begin to retire, and there is a gap in qualified replacements. Emergency medicine is a stressful occupation, and may not be meant for every person who tries it out. Working on a locum tenens basis offers everyone the chance to experience emergency medicine to see if that is where they want to work on a permanent basis. It also gives a person new to an area a chance to experience work life in that hospital position before they try to obtain full time employment at that location.

The locum tenens jobs are not permanent jobs, however, they are just temporary, fill in jobs for another professional who, for various reasons, needed to take some time off. Their jobs still must be filled with qualified personnel, and on a temporary basis. The healthcare staffing companies are always looking for trained, qualified emergency medical personnel to work locum tenens positions. These jobs are good for retirees who want to cut back on their work load, and for new graduates who want to try different types of medical jobs. A period of work in the emergency room allows the medical personnel to experience many types of medical cases, from accidents to gun wounds, to birthing and other emergency situations.

Are You Still Looking For a Job? Wall Street Recruiter Reveals 5 Job Hunting Secrets

2009-09-03T08:00:00.000-07:00

1. The Name of Your Resume:

When you apply for jobs, you attach your "resume" to the e-mail submission. My question: what have you named your attached resume? Is it John Doe Resume? Or J Doe Resume? Or is it Draft Resume?(does that mean you are still working on your resume? Or 2007 Resume (it's 2009 - has it been two years since you updated your resume?) So - watch out! Tip: Give your resume a professional name - just your name is perfect! (ie: Jane Doe Resume). HR, Recruiters and Hiring Managers look at this.

2. E-mail Address

Is your e-mail address professional? If it's Jdoe@yahoo.com or JaneDoe123@aol.com then this is perfect. But what about "hotmama@xxx.com" or "foreclosureking@xxx.com". These are unacceptable e-mail addresses, and once again, employers and hiring managers will notice this.

Tip: Create a professional e-mail address for your job search.

3. Apply to old job postings.

Just because an ad is 30 days old, doesn't mean it's been filled! Positions may take from 2 weeks to even 3 months to fill. So, when a job is 30 days old, or even older, forward your resume. There is a very good chance that you will be one of the very few to have applied that day (compared to the 100's of resumes that are submitted on the first few days of a job posting). Also, don't forget that firms tend to have the "same types" of position openings....so even if it's 30 days old, perhaps the firm is thinking of opening a new position that is similar, and then "voila" - your resume appears. And don't forget about local and niche sites (Craigslist / jobsonwallstreet.com / etc). These may be a goldmine and many overlook these.

Tip: Apply to old job postings - it could very well land you an interview and a job!

4. Objective - Do Not Write this on your Resume!

So many job seekers write an objective on their resume, many of whom even state the position they desire: "Seeking an Analyst role: Seeking an Accountant role", etc. When you do this, you are basically telling the employer, "this is what I want". So, if the employer doesn't have that job you are targeting, they are most likely not going to cross reference you for other roles they may have - because, you told them exactly what you want! Let the employer decide where you'll be the best fit - and let them cross reference you for other positions. For Entry Level Job Seekers (in college / just graduated) just write something very generic: To pursue a position with in the financial industry; To pursue a career within the Marketing Industry - generic and wide open! Tip: Do not write an Objective on your resume OR make it very generic.

5. Job Boards - Resume Database Portion

It is time consuming to post your profiles on the job boards, but you MUST. And most importantly, keep refreshing your profile so it's current (show's today's date - not a year ago...). Many employers and recruiters do not want to reveal their job posting information. So they look for you on the databases. No matter what level you are at (from entry level to C-Level) - posting your resume on these resume databases is a MUST. As a tip, keep your e-mail address and contact info confidential on your job board database profiles. And if there is an option to upload your word document into the profile, don't' forget to also keep your name and contact info confidential from the word attachment as well! Many forget to do this! Tip: Spend a day and upload your resumes to as many job boards as possible.

Marketing Manager Job

2009-08-31T21:00:00.000-07:00

If you are interested in a marketing manager job then you should be well informed about what the position entails for you. Most marketing managers have a lot of responsibility and can be in charge of a lot of different things at the same time.

For example, one of the typical activities for a marketing manager is to take the sales data and statistical records from a company and use it to make marketing decisions. For example, say the firm is wondering how they should spend their advertising dollars this year. They might present the manager with past sales data, advertising costs, and conversion rate data based on their research for how effective past campaigns have been, and ask the marketing manager to make a decision about how they should best spend their ad dollars.

Or the company might approach the manager with a list of ideas for new product development. The firm could choose to pursue a handful of new products this year because they are retiring some old ones, so they need a decision made about which ones to pursue. The manager could take into account current trends, the economy, past sales data, and competitor sales data in order to try and determine which products are best to pursue and develop.

Because there is such a range of potential decisions to make and skills required, any marketing manager is likely to need prior experience and lots of real world, on the job training if they are going to be up for the job.

Online Etiquette to Protect Your Career Opportunities

2009-08-30T09:00:00.000-07:00

Yes, there's a whole new world out there. For all of you who are under twenty-five, it's as familiar as any other world. You Skype, you tweet, you text and you post to the wall - in brief, you are, without a doubt, as comfortable online as you are offline. So what's the problem? Well, quite simply, the problem IS that comfort. Being comfortable enough to bare your soul (and anything else) online is dangerous - and to a job search (either now OR LATER in your life), it can be deadly. Because make no mistake, the corporate culture is learning the lingo and building an online presence too. Yes, they're a few years behind, but they're catching up quickly. This article will a) guide you to stop right where you are and take an honest online assessment and clean up your act, and b) provide a few tips on how to USE online portals to feature your best assets and GET that job.

Part One - Clean up Your Act:

Okay, it's pretty obvious that if you're looking for a job you'll want to take down those pictures of spring break from six years ago (in fact, taking down your MySpace page entirely is the safest bet). Make absolutely sure that you not only remove that type of material from YOUR Facebook page (and anywhere else), but from your friends as well. The simplest way to do this is to remove any tags with your name on them. (You do this by opening a picture and clicking "remove tag" near your name.) Also, send a message to ALL of your friends and family that you're job searching and to PLEASE not post anything that could work against you.

Quite frankly, photos are the easy stuff - something we all recognize as potentially "dangerous" - but words are no joke either. I'm not talking about swapping insults with your pals on Facebook - obviously you'll know to take that down (and refrain from this point forward). I'm talking about those moments you're in a Yahoo Group or on a Linkedin Q&A where you strongly share your opinion on anything from employee relations to someone's religious beliefs about indigenous cultures who eat only bananas. The point is this - you need to look at EVERYTHING that has your name on it and DELETE, DELETE, DELETE. How do you find this material? You do EXACTLY what a potential employer is going to do. You Google your name and open every single link. If you're active online, you will quickly discover that you CAN'T delete everything that's already out there. Which leads us to ...

Part Two - Putting Your Best Foot Forward (and Getting it OUT of Your Mouth):

Yes, the web has a far-reaching memory, and some of it seems to have a life of its own. When you have material that you can't disconnect from you, consider flooding the web with NEW material. (*This is a good tip for ANYONE, by the way.) Feature your personal expertise in as many places and situations as you can think of. Go onto Linkedin and answer questions with your experiences and best advice. Join Facebook Groups and post positive opinions on discussions that will feature how amazing you are. (These can even be hobbies or personal issues - such as parenting or fishing.) The point is to create an online personality that is current and speaks well of you. This exercise will push that old and potentially deadly time bomb WAY down on the search engine's list.

Another good idea? Put up some new pictures. Hire a photographer to take great, new headshots, have them follow you around for a few hours and take candid, attractive photos. Maybe it's you reading a book in Central Park - or playing with your kids - or the dog...You get the picture.

Email:

Finally, I just want to remind ALL of you that email IS online. It is alive, and it can absolutely come back to bite your in the rear. Keep your emails not only clean and appropriate, but FORMAL. Use a salutation (that's the Dear Catherine line). Use a formal closing sentence. Always give your complete contact info. You never know who knows whom and when something can resurface, so putting your BEST foot forward is what we ALL have to practice every day of our online lives.

The School Nurse is Important For Us

2009-08-29T09:00:00.000-07:00

Everyone remembers the school nurse. From the age of 5, we remember her as the one with the quiet voice, who smells like astringent, who has cool hands, who fixes it or makes it better- the next best thing to mom. Even wimpy, 'fraidy-cat kids, afraid of the doctor, were not afraid to go to the school nurse. She was someone you could trust, who knew it all, just wanted you to be okay and didn't ask your grades. She had stickers, and animal posters on the wall. And if you really were sick, you didn't mind being there at all.

The school nurse is still there for our children and also provides care for the staff. Health care ranges from treatment of a skinned knee or administration of medication, knowledge of vaccine schedules, and the ability to implement an emergency plan if needed. She knows about childhood diseases and epidemics- she wants out children safe. The school nurse screens and processes referrals for indications of vision, hearing, weight and posture issues. We saw these as mundane things that threw our day off schedule- made us wonder if we'd be last in the lunch line or late for recess. We did the tests every year, sure that nothing had changed from the last, happy that we were healthy.

The school nurse promotes physical and emotional safety and a healthy environment. She has pamphlets and brochures, posters and charts; and no waiting line. She organizes educational events to inform, not only children, the school community as a whole. She educates parents and staff of symptoms to look for when all you know is that a child's 'belly hurts'. She tells us when to keep them home and why. She tells us when it's safe to send them back. She not only looks at sickness but also opens our eyes to health, nutrition and safety. She works with the cafeteria to be sure that they are serving a healthy diet then she goes to the classroom and speaks to the children to be sure it's being eaten. We remember what we were told, we remember disregarding it, and we know now that it's the same thing we'll tell our own children. The school nurse is a leader and a link between the family and the school, the community and the parent. She is an expert in child development and supports social and mental health ensuring success and happiness in learning.

The school nurse has seen it all and doesn't cringe. She knows that head lice is not the parents' fault and sympathizes about the time it will take to remedy a six-year old with waist-length hair. She's heard all the whiners, criers, complainers and babies. In her lifetime, she will have watched and helped thousands of children grow, even though not her own. The school nurse will always be there for our children. Her job never goes away. She is one of those very important unsung heroes that everyone would miss were she not there.

A marine engineer may also be a shipbuilder, working as part of a team that designs the complex systems that keep seagoing vessels afloat.

Robotics. Robotics has become more and more commonplace over the past few decades, but by no means has it become dull. Most recently, advances in the field have given us the Shadow Dextrous Hand, a robotic hand with 24 joints and 40 "muscles," that can perform extremely delicate operations, such as picking up a light bulb.

Acoustical Engineering. Acoustical engineers are concerned with the generation or suppression of sound. Think of it as one of the most artistic sub-disciplines of mechanical engineering: An acoustical engineer might make concert hall better able to amplify sound, or soundproof a recording studio.

Nanotech. You may have heard of this field in science fiction movies, but don't worry about massive swarms of killer robots devouring everything in their sight. More often, nanotechnologists design computer chips and polymers, and nanotechnological advances are most often seen in mundane places like cosmetics and suntan lotion.

Biomechatronics. Biomechatronics experts are concerned with the relationship between mechanical devices and the human body. This is the field involved most closely with ventricular assistance devices and artificial hearts, and a biomechatronics expert may work together with a robotics expert if the Shadow Dextrous Hand can ever replace a real hand.

How Women Have Shattered the Glass Ceiling in the Workplace

2009-08-27T09:00:00.000-07:00

Are you a working lady who does not believe she has a large chance of making it to the top of her organization? Are you somebody who believes very few women will ever go far in the workforce? More than ever, working women have a spectacular shot at rising to the top. This article demonstrates how women have shattered the glass ceiling after working hard to get ahead on the job.

I would like to start by giving recognition to my mother for her outstanding accomplishments. In 1980, she became the administrator for a senior citizens center for the Mid-East Area Agency on Aging in St. Louis, Missouri. She was eventually promoted to a higher position. A few years ago, she became one of the three people at her agency in charge of about ten different centers. She has turned down the opportunity to move up to the second highest position in the organization, a position that involves being in charge of all the centers. My mother's immediate supervisor and the executive director are women.

My mother is not the only lady who has advanced far on the job. It is common to find or read about ladies who are school principals, retail store head managers, corporate executives, etc.

Let's turn our attention to the Supreme Court in the United States of America. One of the nine justices is Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The high court recently had Sandra Day O'Connor as a Justice. Have you been keeping up with the political news? Barack Obama, the president of America, has appointed Sonia Sotomayor to take the place of retiring Justice David Souter.

Have you heard of Nancy Pelosi? She is the Speaker of the House in Congress. Before her fellow representatives presented her the nomination for the 2007 congressional session, the House never had a female speaker. Pelosi earned her promotion by being a representative who helped strengthen the Democratic Party and bring it back to a majority status.

We must include Hillary Rodham Clinton in the discussion of women who knock down the barriers in the workforce. She went from being a powerful adviser as the First Lady to former president Bill Clinton to becoming a New York Senator. Hillary ran a strong presidential race as the Democrats' second runner in the 2008 primaries, encouraging Obama to appoint her to become the Secretary of State. She accepted the nomination and was confirmed by Congress.

Mrs. Clinton is not the only woman who has been the Secretary of State. Her predecessor was Condoleeza Rice, a black lady who was appointed to serve under the previous president, George W. Bush.

Do you remember Janet Reno? She was Bill Clinton's U.S. Attorney General.

Are you familiar with Sarah Palin? She is the governor of Alaska and she was chosen to run as the vice-presidential running mate to John McCain, the candidate who lost the most recent presidential election.

Do you believe that all professional sports teams have only been owned by men? This is not true. Georgia Frontiere owned our St. Louis Rams National Football League team until she recently passed away. Marge Schott used to own the Cincinnati Reds of Major League Baseball.

You have discovered how working women have shattered the glass ceiling. If you are a working lady, do not surrender hope of making it to the top!

Hospitality Jobs - Working in Hotels

2009-08-25T09:00:00.000-07:00

When it comes to hospitality and jobs within hospitality, most people at some time in their career will have worked for a hotel in one form or another. Hotels range massively from basic places to sleep through to lavish 5 star world famous landmarks through to even 7 star in the Dubai with the best of everything from Michelin star food and world class wine through to having the best in pampering and spa facilities. If we take London for example, there are over 700 hotels to choose from so one is not short on choice.

Working for a hotel can indeed be a great experience. Usually with a large mix of cultures and personalities within an establishment, there is always something interesting or entertaining going on. Sometimes long hours are required however, due to the often demanding customers who have needs 24 hours a day. The rewards are there though and people often become so accustomed to working in hotels that it becomes a way of life for many who tread the path. There are many positions and job types within a hotel from a full brigade of chefs and kitchen staff, through to receptionist, porters, cleaning staff, engineers, events managers, bar staff, banqueting managers, sales and marketing teams and many more besides.

The Hotel trade is busier than ever, which can make it a stable job to be in. With the internet making it much easier these days to find and read about various hotels, booking has become very easy indeed. Also there are various informative and helpful websites which will separate the good from the bad. These sites can also be helpful when trying to gain information and reviews when looking to apply for a job in a particular hotel.

Some of the high class hotels offer some of the best cuisine available, outperforming many good restaurants. Some hotel managers will indeed use their weight to attract some of the finest chefs and personalities in the business and open a high quality restaurant, sometimes to Michelin star standard to improve and enforce their reputation. Competition, after all, is fierce and everyone wants a piece of the cake. This is extremely healthy and keeps the quality and standards high, which after all is what we are looking for.

Surviving the Police Officer Oral Interview - Willingness Questions

2009-08-24T09:00:00.000-07:00

During the course of your police oral interview, you must understand the importance of being able to tell the board that you are willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done on the streets (both personally and professionally).

I can't begin to tell you how many people fail their oral board interview because they lack a basic understanding of what we do and how we do it. Willingness questions are designed to find out if you are truly prepared for what you're going to encounter when you work a position in law enforcement. These are things you should consider before stepping foot into your oral board interview.

Some good example of a willingness question are:

- Are you prepared to work any shift?
- Are you prepared to work holidays and weekends?
- Are you prepared to work unscheduled overtime that could interfere with your personal life?
- Are you prepared to deal with foul smells and gruesome sights?

There are many others of these types of questions and they are perhaps some of the most important questions on the police oral interview because they deal directly with your willingness and ability to do the job.

Understand that if you are not prepared to work any shift given to you...if you are not prepared to patrol the streets while your family is at home enjoying Christmas together, then you will likely be passed for the next qualified applicant who is. Be prepared for these types of questions because they can "make or break" your chances at successfully passing your oral board interview.

Getting a Job at a Hotel

2009-08-20T21:00:00.000-07:00

It is important during this stressful time that you be very careful how you approach any potential employer. While getting a job at a hotel might not seem that difficult, they are a service orientated business and as such are looking for the best employees possible that can handle the stresses and concerns that guests place upon them quickly, professionally and above all else with a smile on their face. With this in mind, a hotel is looking for a few specific types of employees when they are out to hire new staff.

Always be sure that you are putting your best impression forward when you go to apply for a job. Never show up to ask for an application looking like something that was dragged in off the streets. Additionally, never walk in looking desperate, or unhappy with the world. This is the very first impression that you will give of your attitude and work ethic. Regardless of what you might think, managers do watch how people act and present themselves even when doing something as simple as asking for an application. If you are not careful how you act during this time, you could ruin your chances of being hired before you ever complete your application.

When you return your application, again you need to ensure you are pulled together, professional looking and have a big, natural looking smile on your face. If you are looking haggard, or like you are just too bored to be there to turn the application in you probably will never receive a call back. With the amount of surveillance that a business can do, it is not surprising that managers watch potential applicants before ever talking to them face to face to see how they behave when they believe that someone is not watching.

Take some time to carefully complete the application. One of the biggest pitfalls that applicants encounter is they do not carefully read the application before starting to fill it out. As a result, the answers and information that you give might sound foolish because they do not fit the information that is being requested. In order to show that you do pay attention to details you need your application to be correctly filled out. Most employers do not look favorably upon an application from someone who is not able to fill out the application properly.

You should also spend a bit of time preparing yourself for an unexpected interview. You never know exactly when you will be able to get an interview. It might be while you are turning your application in, or it could be days later. Being prepared at the time when you submit the application will ensure that you breeze through it without many if any embarrassing moments.

A poorly planned interview can go badly, especially those that are unexpected. Employers love these impromptu interviews because of this, however if you are prepared you can survive and even pull in a job offer because you are prepared and pulled together even for the unexpected interview.

A Lesson From Birds

2009-08-20T09:00:00.000-07:00

I was giving some thought to the topic of "Dressing for Success" as I had a cup of coffee earlier on this beautiful, "dress-down" Saturday morning. Interview attire is a topic we will explore in detail as time goes on, but in ruminating about that discussion, I recalled a story I thought I'd share. This is a true story, the details of which were shared with me by my former manager and mentor in the recruiting industry.

My boss was interviewing people to fill a recruiter position within our firm which was open due to expansion. I was aware that he had decided to see a candidate who seemed to be a great prospect. He had a good resume, a wealth of experience, and strong educational credentials. I know that my boss was excited to meet him for the initial interview.

On the day after the interview had taken place, I learned that the candidate was no longer in consideration and I was curious as to why. That's when the boss told me, "I don't remember a word he said in the interview. I was distracted, so the interview didn't go well." Not one to let a statement like that go, I asked, "What happened?"

Well....

Apparently, shortly before the interview an angry bird (or at least one with good aim) had, unbeknownst to the candidate, deposited a gift on his hair; the kind of gift that is usually reserved for car windshields and statues. My boss said he couldn't do anything but stare at it and force himself not to laugh, so as a result he'd not heard a thing the candidate had so eagerly presented.

Now, in dealing with interviewees, generally my boss had an incredible amount of emotional intelligence. Patience and attentiveness are, to this day, his strong suits. Unfortunately, even those who are traditionally most attentive and understanding will be distracted by things like random bird droppings in a professional venue.

Could he have called him in for a second interview? Probably. It would have been quite difficult at that point, however, to cover turf that had supposedly already been covered in the first interview and frankly, the first impression had already been made and it wasn't a good one. It was indelible.

It occurred to me that this is the perfect lesson to illustrate the importance of being prepared for any eventuality. Interviewing can be filled with unexpected twists and turns. In this case, if the candidate had just stopped to briefly check his image in a mirror before the interview to make one final assessment of his appearance, and thereby ensured that he was ready, at his best, and put together, he more than likely would have been hired.

The moral to this strange but true story might then be, "Be prepared and aware of how you want to be perceived when you make that first impression". Or maybe it could be, "If you're successful enough, you might someday even have a statue erected in your honor. And yes, a few birds will decorate your image, but that's to be expected. However, it's not expected nor wise to start playing the part before your time, and especially not in an interview. Avoid the birds."

Why Do People Get Fired From Their Jobs?

2009-08-18T21:00:00.000-07:00

More often than not, the attitude of the people is their biggest foe. As long as an individual has a balance in his character, even in cases when he is not competent for the job, the employer would be reluctant to fire him. Some of the most commonly cited reasons for people getting fired from their jobs are discussed.

Honesty is the best policy as the saying goes has to go along with integrity. While an honest temperament is required to be part of a team, the person should exhibit extreme caution in handling organization sensitive information.

The resume should perfectly and truly depict the individual. Cross checking of references is done by all organizations at some point of time. Any claims of academic or individual achievements should be made with adequate proof for consideration.

It is very important to follow the orders and policies of an organization while an individual is working for the organization. While having to do a seemingly immoral or unethical task, the individual should try to take a professional stand in that issue.

It is important to be professional in conduct and one should refrain from putting the industry resources at his disposal for personal use. As long as the person is working in the premises of the organization, the interests of the organization should be given first priority.

The behavior and the contribution of an individual towards the goal and the mission of a company should be predictable and stable. Eccentricity in any form from the individual, which affects the company's productivity, should be avoided.

An employee being social with other people is vital to an organization depending on team work. The employee should be perfectly capable of having civil conversations with anyone in the organization. Personality development programs and communications programs help to sort out problems they might have.

Some people who bluff their way through interviews might find it tough to do real time work. If they are unable to learn their job quickly they would be exposed soon. Some people would be under qualified or under-trained for a job.

One technique used by certain people who feel insecure about their jobs is to unnecessarily prolong a job assignment. This would give the employer a feeling that the employee's interests are not in the direction of the organization's interest.

It is not always wise to utilize every bit of 'time off 'possible without a valid reason. Even though it might be acceptable under the organization policy, it would give the employer the feeling that the employee is not satisfied or comfortable with the job. People whose absenteeism, could be explained by personal problems could attend counseling sessions organized by the company.

Addiction to drugs is certain to cause irregularities in an individual's habits. This would also cause additional pressure on other people in the organization who would find it difficult to deal with such a person.

The above said ten points are some of the behavioral aspects expected from an employee from every employer. Failure to fulfill the expectation of the employer in any one of the above said points would lead to the person being fired from his or her job.

Video Game Jobs

2009-08-18T09:00:00.000-07:00

Do you know all the game consoles in the market and spends hours playing video games with your friends? Your parents would probably think that you don't have a viable future since you have obviously become addicted to that video game in your computer. But what your parents didn't know is that you are so addicted to video game playing that you and your friends have started considering looking for video game tester jobs.

You are not just the regular bum or that lazy good-for-nothing game fanatic after all. You do have a future in the game industry. Flipping through the pages of the latest game magazines, you've discovered that as console manufacturers develop more and more games, they are also in the look out for staff. From computer programmers, quality assurance team or staff who as that intense passion to video game playing, the video game industry is expanding and taking on more people to fill in the video game tester jobs in their human resources list.

Video game tester jobs can either be regular or temporary positions. Some companies accept high school graduates for temporary posts. Depending on the qualifications, from game video tester to quality assurance to a more complex position like the actual game developers which require advanced studies and a college degree related to computers and gaming.

Here are stages that modern computer and video games undergo before the manufacturers release them to consumers. The first two stages are localization testing and then beta testing which where most game testers come in. Beta testing can happen off-site or within the offices of the company. Beta testers are the first line of bug finders. Once the bugs are detected the game testers need to play that level again and again in order to reproduce the bugs and create a complete report on it. A certain level on knowledge is important in beta testing but an even higher qualification is needed for quality assurance testing.

After beta testing, the regression testing begins wherein the coders who have fixed the bugs will send it back to the testing team for another grueling task of checking if the bug has been completely fixed and if the correction created other bugs in the game. This type of testing is called the halo testing. The next types of testing include compatibility, load, unit and soak testing.

Bottom line is, being a video game tester is not a kid's game and computer and video game development is not a big playground where everyone can just chill and do what excites them for a fee. Being in this industry requires diligence, patience and technical expertise. It is not as lucrative or as fun as everyone wants to think. Who wants to play video games repetitively and the same level for hours at that? Most temp staffs are paid a minimal amount by the hour.

The Art of Helping One Another Find Work

2009-08-17T21:00:00.000-07:00

I'm not here to tell you what to do--we all know what to do. I am here to tell you what we have had pounded over our heads like a dreadful déjà vu that keeps getting worse is true.

The system works.

After struggling to absorb a stockpile of how-to guides spewed our way, like getting spit on by every Company we've solicited isn't enough, we now have this arduous task of attempting to make sense from it as we suffer heartburn and headache.

The system works only if we allow it to enter our presence. Today I was to attend a Teleclass--sort of like a conference call on steroids. The phone number I received from the moderator was incorrect. Remember flexibility is key here; always be willing and able to adjust your schedule. If you were in the middle of a project and you got called for an interview, you'd run like a bat out of hell, right? Sometimes I feel like a bat in hell with nowhere to go so I welcome those last-minute changes. So, on to my next item for the day. My phone rang--a close friend of mine. After his workflow came to a screeching halt, he decided to give new life to a project he had been working on as a hobby years ago. He is now taking it to the next level by developing it utilizing the latest technologies at our immediate disposal. Kind of what I have been saying all along.

Having said that, this valued friend is an established, award-winning writer. I, on the extreme other hand, am not. He called me for some assistance with his project in areas that I can be of some guidance. It also helps using each other as sounding boards. I have plenty of ideas and thoughts to put on these pages; he was able to ventilate and breathe some new life into many of them. That's what he does. And he plans to send me an invoice for $634.93--of course a discounted rate. I asked for a payment plan...can't afford his 22% APR. Nuts! But I digress...

The Art of Helping One Another Find Work.

Had that Teleclass phone number worked, I would have missed his call and precious time working matters out would have been lost. Luck-of-the-draw does manifest itself here, but play them to your advantage. Again, let me stress the priceless impact our network has on what we do in life. It works, and if you stay with it, an increase in productive professional exploration will come your way. Do not be afraid, intimidated or put-off in thinking about calling your friends. They honestly understand and have, most likely, gone through job loss themselves at some point.

If we aren't here to help one another, what is human survival all about? We would subsist in this often cruel and hateful planet unaccompanied. My father loved classical music. My mother loves theatre. Did J.S. Bach play every instrument and conduct? He did in his mind which added to its beauty, but we can't hear or see that caliber of brilliance so he was able to put it down on paper for all of us to enjoy. Does Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Phantom" fly solo? The preeminent triumphs in our history books are only fully realized by way of teamwork. Traditional art that you see on a wall was probably painted by one person--and there are quite a number of famous ones. But they all had subjects.

We must be able to motivate and inspire one another to do great things via facilitating. You and I are the ones who must start that ball rolling. Just remember, once you get the ball rolling, constantly keep your eye on the ball.

Finding a Job in These Tough Times

2009-08-16T21:00:00.000-07:00

It doesn't take a rocket scientist these days, to tell you that we are in the midst of a bad recession. Hundreds of thousands of people are finding themselves newly unemployed, simply as the result of cost-cutting by big firms, which are unable to afford the overhead as they were before.

Sadly, when it comes to the employment situation, people often don't know where to turn. Even starting to look for a new job can be a daunting task, and one which is particularly unpleasant.

However, in India, there are a number of jobs currently available. Because of the relatively low cost of labor in this country, multinational firms are taking on even more staff to compensate for the cuts in the more expensive countries. Employment opportunities such as IT jobs and telecom jobs are all benefiting. Basically, this is because India has a high population of educated, multilingual employees - who are ready and willing to work for multinational companies.

Funnily enough, the people who get Hyderabad jobs and Delhi jobs in these times, are actually earning a wage which is a higher than average. This is because, whilst companies choose to lay off workers and more expensive places in the world, the new India jobs that they are creating require highly educated people - and hence attract higher salaries and wages than usual.

So, we're can you find in India job? Well, many people forget that a number of employment listings can be found on the Internet. There are many websites which are able to assist in the job hunt, and thereby allow the applicant to make several applications for both IT jobs and Telecom jobs. The best thing to do, is to find a website which dedicates itself to these two streams of industry.

By choosing a dedicated employment website, you're able to view a more selective range of jobs, all of which will attract higher incomes, and all of which are currently available. If you are highly educated, this is an exceptional place to start your hunt - as a will provide you with the best chance of scoring a new job.

Of course, finding a job on the Internet as just the first step. You will then have to apply, send in a CV, and possibly even attend an interview or selection process.

If this is the case, once again you should be prepared. Remember, in these tough times, you are competing against other people for the same job. Make sure that you launch an application which is appealing, and hence increase your chances of being selected for a particular IT job or telecom job.

Finally, don't get down on yourself. A lot of people are worse off at the moment, and hence if you are able to find a job (regardless of what industry it is in) - you might just be able to improve your chances of success in the future.

Career Change at Midlife - Considering Plan B?

2009-08-16T09:00:00.000-07:00

Okay. Plan A-what you have worked at for years-just went down the tubes. What now? You could look for another version of the same thing you have been doing-just like the several thousand other people that have been laid off in your industry this year-or you could take a deep breath, step away from the crowd, and begin imagining your very own Plan B career.

How do you know if you have what it takes to succeed with something entirely different? That would take an entrepreneurial mindset. If you have that, your chances of success are well above average, but it is still up to you to make it work.

Here are eight sets of traits that have been identified as present in people that have successfully launched entrepreneurial careers at mid-life or later. Most of them found the greatest reward and satisfaction in starting their own businesses, rather than stepping back onto the treadmill.

So...how many of these do you possess?

1) Integrity
2) Responsibility and hard work
3) Independence and self-reliance
4) Drive to achieve
5) Contagious and indomitable energy that attracts others
6) Health and wellness in body, mind, and spirit
7) Imagination and trust in one's own decisions
8) Leadership and management

You don't even need to possess all of them to the max; if you can say "Yes! That describes me!" to at least 5 and the other 3 are things you aspire to, then you most likely have what it takes to succeed with a Plan B Career.

Here is an exercise that will help you think beyond Plan A:

Write these things down:

*Describe a time when you experienced the thrill of success or achievement--it doesn't have to have been headlining, but you felt great. What did you do and how did you do it?

*Your life goals and dreams today--be sure to include the income you need to support them. Be realistic, but resist the temptation to edit out anything that feels too big, given your current financial concerns. This is the point of dreaming!

*If you could pick (and you can...) Where would you like to be living and working in three years?--Describe what that looks like in your mind's eye and what you especially like about it.

*Who are the people with whom you would most like to surround yourself?--What is it that attracts you to them? What is it about you that attracts them to you?

*What would you be willing to do to make these things a reality?--What wouldn't you be willing to do, and why?

*What is your "why?"--that is, what makes hard work worth it all for you?

Ah, for an exciting new Plan B. Just think of the possibilities!

Safe Jobs For a Bad Economy

2009-08-15T21:00:00.000-07:00

Every day we hear more and more news about the declining economy. Many people are wondering, if the economy does continue to decline into a recession, what the best job to be in is. What businesses are the most recession-proof? Experts say that healthcare and government-related jobs like working for a Long Beach process server or Glendale process server are some of the most secure jobs.

Though no job is completely secure, some industries tend to be more stable than others. Healthcare, IT, sales, clean technology, federal, and marketing jobs are among the most reliable in a recession. People need goods and services in normal circumstances, and they need them just the same when the economy is in a recession. People always need healthcare and pharmaceuticals, and the Baby-Boomer generation is getting older. As a larger percentage of the population becomes older, there will be more and more need for jobs in these businesses.

Jobs that require specialized skills are generally more secure than unskilled jobs. These skilled jobs include therapy, physical and occupational, and bioscience jobs, and are some of the safest jobs to be in in case of a recession. Although marketing and sales positions don't necessarily require specialized skill sets. These jobs are relatively safe as long as the person working is making money for the company, experts say.

Jobs with the federal government are possibly the safest of all. They have great benefits, and very few of the approximately 2% of Americans who work for the federal government would be laid off in the event of a recession. A majority of government downsizing is a result of leaving empty positions open instead of filling them, so few people would be laid off.

Another recession opportunity is the internet. With jobs growing more and more scarce these days, and job losses increasing steadily, more people and more businesses are turning to the internet. If you create your own internet business, you can't get laid off, although economic downturn will still affect your business. There are few specialized skills needed beyond basic computer skills to be successful in internet businesses. Job opportunities on the internet can pay very well, especially in relationship to the amount of work required. On an average day, more than 200 million people are connected to the internet in the U.S. alone.

Other areas are also somewhat safe. Teaching or other education jobs can be pretty safe, but it depends upon the area in which you are teaching. Energy is always a pretty safe bet. Things have to get pretty bad for people to stop needing utilities. Some areas in energy like nuclear and alternative energy are even projected to grow during a recession. International business can be a good opportunity for those with language skills, business ability, or experience traveling. Law enforcement and security are somewhat safe as well. However, in this field, expertise or specialized skills will be more of a benefit and safer. Sustainability and environmental protection opportunities are increasing. These jobs too will likely require some skills or knowledge in "green" policies.

Face Forward Careers in Fashion

2009-08-14T21:00:00.000-07:00

There are many different avenues one can go down when they desire a career in fashion. From Fashion designer to celebrity stylist learn all about the hot careers in fashion.

Fashion Designer

Primarily fashion designers create new clothes and accessories. However, their other job tasks may include analyzing fashion trends, marketing, sales, production of garments and accessories, and promotion of their finished products. Fashion designers can attend a two or four year program for a degree in fashion design or fashion merchandising. Generally, most designers start out as interns and move through the ranks as junior designers to design assistant to assistant designer to associate designer to fashion director.

Fashion Merchandising

Fashion merchandisers create and implement displays for stores and catalogs. They are also responsible for designing the layout of department stores, fashion showrooms and trade shows. They have to have a strong familiarity with the consumer market and an artistic flair. Generally, fashion merchandisers hold a bachelors degree in visual or fashion merchandising. They usually begin their career as an assistant and work their way up to visual merchandising director.

Fashion Stylists

Often we think of a fashion stylist as being the brains behind a celebrities look. While that is partially true, fashion stylists also choose wardrobe for photo shoots, commercials, print ads, television, movies and music videos. Additionally, many work as personal stylist to average people in need of fashion advice. Stylists can find employment with magazines, newspapers, retailers, television and film production companies, catalogs, PR firms, advertising agencies and music companies. To be a fashion stylist one must work their way to the top from the ground up. This often means starting out with an internship. Most stylists also earn a degree in fashion design or fashion merchandising but it is not required to work in the field. Networking is everything to the success of a stylist, so they must constantly be gaining new contacts and maintain their existing contacts.

If you are unsure what career path you want to follow in the fashion industry you can begin your education with a degree in either fashion merchandising or fashion design. Either of these degrees can be parlayed into any of the above mentioned career paths once you make your final decision.

Landman Sales

2009-08-14T09:00:00.000-07:00

The most overlooked part of the job of a Landman is the sales aspect. Landmen get focused on all the title aspects of the job and figuring out information about current production and leasehold. They don't focus on and never get any training in the sales side of the job and this is the most important. If you don't know how to sell your company and their services, then all your research won't amount to anything.

Getting a lease signed is the most important part of the Landman's job. Many people argue that title work is, but you can do title work all day of if no lease is signed then your effort is wasted. To get better at the sales aspect of the job, Landmen need to focus on what makes a successful salesman. One of the traits of a successful salesman is product knowledge.

Product knowledge is what sets apart average selling Landmen from above average selling Landmen. All you have to do is know about the lease and its different parts and also be able to answer questions you will get from the Lessor. Many of the questions will be about the lease and also what else is happening in the area. If you can do this part of the job, then you will be ahead of most other Landmen that are employed today.

The best way to get product knowledge is to read as much about the industry and the area you are working and to never stop training.

Apply For Unemployment Benefits - Reasons to Take Action Now

2009-08-13T21:00:00.000-07:00

Over half of Americans who are out of work are not receiving unemployment benefits.

For some of those not receiving benefits, there is an understandable explanation. They may have been ineligible to receive benefits, or their benefits may have expired. For many people, however, the reason they are not collecting benefits simply because they do not apply.

If you are about to get laid off, have recently been lost your job, or even if you have be out of work for months, there are many good reasons why you should apply. Below are four good reasons to apply for unemployment insurance:

- A financial buffer. At an average of more than $300 per week, unemployment checks can add up. Think about the funds as covering a certain portion of your expenses. If your unemployment benefits manage to cover your rent or mortgage - great. If the money also covers the cost of your food - terrific. While the amount you collect will be less than you earned while working, be thankful for the money. It will help protect your personal finances, and lessen the amount of spending required on credit or from savings.

- The window will close. If you do not apply for benefits within a year of losing your job, you run the risk of no longer meeting the eligibility requirements in your state. This applies even if you meet all of the other eligibility criteria.

- Flexibility to find a job you like. Unemployment statistics show that, on average, it takes almost five months for people to find a new job. Without unemployment benefits, financial circumstances may require that you take the first job opportunity that presents itself. By receiving unemployment compensation while you you are seeking work, you will have more flexibility to think about different career possibilities and choose the job that is right for you.

- No shame. Do not allow yourself feel bad about applying for unemployment benefits. The unemployment insurance system is funded through employer payroll taxes. Employers are required to pay a percentage of your income to support the unemployment pool in your state. In essence, this is money that would have been paid to you.

How to Negotiate the Salary Using the Power of the Norm of Reciprocity

2009-08-13T09:00:00.000-07:00

An employee negotiating his/her salary may often feel a complete lack of bargaining power. If the employee lacks alternative jobs, and thus cannot make a credible threat to quit or take another job, it is easy to feel that the offer made by the employer is a take it or leave it offer which the employee cannot influence at all.

The employee or job seeker can however take advantage of the laws of human nature to increase his/her leverage when negotiating the salary. One of these laws says that every human being has an interest in being recognized as a worthy member of society. The only chance to be recognized as such a member is to show that one is willing to comply with the basic norms of society. Not to comply with these basic norms is to put oneself outside society, a condition that is unbearable to most people.

The most fundamental norm of society is the norm of reciprocity. According to Wikipedia, the norm of reciprocity is "the social expectation that people will respond to each other in kind -- returning benefits for benefits, and responding with either indifference or hostility to harm."

The power of this norm can be felt in most bargaining situations. Assume a buyer and a seller are haggling over the price of a car. The seller starts out with a bid at $24,000. The buyer finds this offer unacceptable and makes a counter bid at $15,000. Now, the seller lowers his bid to $20,000, i.e. he makes a concession. In this case, the buyer will most often feel inclined to increase his bid, maybe to $17,000. The reason why the buyer will feel this inclination is because of the presence of the norm of reciprocity. This norm now demands that the buyer responds to the seller's concession with another concession.

The norm of reciprocity is so powerful that it can be taken advantage of in almost any bargaining situation, even by a party that otherwise completely lacks leverage. This norm is a most powerful ally to the employee or job seeker negotiating his salary - if correctly appealed to.

The norm of reciprocity will only work if it is very clear that the employee makes a concession or gives something away to the employer. This can be made in several ways. If, for example, the employer has worked over time for months without any compensation, he can say "I really do like this work. That is the reason why I have spent hours and hours of overtime here. I think it is only fair that I get some kind of compensation for my efforts for this company." Another way is to start out the salary negotiation by making a high but reasoned salary claim, from which a concession can be made in the next round.

With the norm of reciprocity in his toolbox, the employee or job seeker negotiating his salary will have dramatically increased his leverage.

How to Dress For a Job Interview

2009-08-12T21:00:00.000-07:00

Having a job interview is the first step to your new career. You don't want to mess up this part of the process and you always want to dress for success. Many people are confused on how to dress for a job interview. There are many options at you disposal which you can make a good first impression. Depending on your resume, you could have already helped that first impression. Different types of jobs require different secret dress codes for a job interview. Here are some items to not forget when you dress for a job interview.

1. Shoes polish - This may not seem like a big deal, but it is. Employers always look for a disciplined worker to fill their vacancy. Having polished shoes is a sign that you are taking your interview seriously and that you are able to do the tasks which are given.

2. Clean cut - Shave, get a haircut, and a bath are important things if you want to give off the clean cut facade. Having all these things done before your interview is important for your first impression face to face. No one wants to be in the same room as someone who doesn't take the time to bathe and make their appearance neat and clean.

3. Suit coats a necessity - Depending on the job, you may want to dress in your best suit and tie. It is always good to remember what the other employees are wearing. Having the same type of wardrobe as the employees and dressing like you have the job already will increase your chances. Just don't catch the employees during casual Friday. That would be a mistake.

4. Dress for success - This goes along with the rest of the steps. Dressing for success means that you are wearing clothes that make people want to give you a job. A nice suit, nice polished shoes, and a clean cut image are all part of the dress for success plan. Having a calm attitude is part of the plan as well.

When you are searching for a job, you try anything to get a job interview. You ask for the manager and you make sure that your resume is up to par with their décor of employees. It would make sense that you would like to do the same for a job interview. Always being well educated about the company is a good bonus. This way you can tell your possible employer the duties of the job you are applying for.

How to Become a Great Bodyguard in the Executive Protection Field

2009-08-12T09:00:00.000-07:00

Joe really enjoys his job in the executive protection field. He thinks it's a great job - it's both interesting and it pays very well. Joe also is happy to know that his job, like that of many other bodyguards, is a very important job that needs to be done. With this great job, Joe is given many responsibilities, but he definitely likes a good challenging job. Joe has many pieces of good advice about choosing a good person to protect you in many situations.

First, it's important that you begin searching for a good agency that specializes in protecting people just like you. A good place to begin searching for this is the Internet. You'll definitely be able to find many good agencies that specialize in what you're looking for. You need to remember, however, that the internet can be a dangerous place, so it is a very good idea to watch out for scams. After you've been searching and you've found many good agencies, it's definitely time to narrow down your list of potential agencies. After all, you'll definitely only be able to choose one agency in the end. You need to make a list of good qualities you want an agency to have because this will definitely make the process of choosing an agency much easier. As with anything else, it's always definitely good to know what you want.

One good way to help you in narrowing down your list of good potential agencies is by looking at their records of experience. It is very important that the agency has experience in helping facilitate an event like yours. You may even, as a potential client, be able to speak with other past clients of the agency and ask them if their experience with the agency was a good one. It is important to hire a good agency that knows what its doing. Another good way to help in narrowing down your initial search is by cost. You'll definitely need to have a budget with a maximum amount that you're willing to pay for an agency's services - no matter how good they are. You should definitely think about this while you're searching for a good potential agency.

After you have further narrowed down your list to many good candidates, you'll definitely need to begin the process of talking to members of the agencies in person. A face to face conversation is definitely very important because it can tell you volumes more of information than the internet can. You need to discuss with this potential agency the event you want facilitated and how you want it to go. The representatives of the agency definitely need to discuss how they plan to facilitate your event and help in making it a good event.

Another thing you definitely need to discuss with this potential agency is cost. You definitely need to first agree on cost because it is a very important part of hiring this agency. If you definitely cannot agree on cost, you need to continue your search.

What is the Job Outlook For Medical Billing?

2009-08-11T21:00:00.000-07:00

If you're thinking about getting a job in the medical billing field, you may want to know a few of these tips before you commit to any education, whether it's a program, school, class or online course or other training.

The medical billing business has been around for quite a few years. There are many jobs available in the industry. A lot will depend on how large or small the community is that you live in. If you live in a large community there will be a lot more jobs available. If you live in a small community there may be fewer jobs.

If you're seeking medical billing as a career you definitely want to know that you'll have access to a job if you invest in an education. There is plenty of medical billing training available - courses, classes, programs online and on campus colleges and universities. You have a wide variety of choices when it comes to getting prepared.

You may find it harder to get a job in this field without certification as a Medical Billing Specialist. There is a national exam to take and pass to get your certification. It's possible that you might be able to get a job and be trained but there may be competition from others who have already received their education and certification.

To find out what jobs are available or will be available when you finish your education, find out if there are any medical billing companies doing business in your community. Many doctors' office and clinics do billing in-house so you can call some of these too to find out if they do or send it out. If they send it out find out who they send it to. This information will be invaluable to you if you're going to make a decision about whether to pursue this field or not.

Believe it or not there are many small communities who have very little need for Medical Billing Specialists. They are small clinics or doctors' offices and can only handle a few people. So make sure to find out if there are companies or businesses who will hire you when you're done with your education. You may even mention the fact that you're planning to pursue your certification and see if they think they will have future jobs or positions.

Education in this field can be done in a relatively short period of time compared to other professions. There is money available from the federal government for online training. Beware of scams. The medical billing job outlook is good and can be rewarding if you like detailed work.

Staying Competitive in Your Organization

2009-08-11T09:00:00.000-07:00

In today's economic situation, having and holding your job cannot be assured. We are no longer living in a world where the organization one works for has any guaranteed loyalty to it's employees. What then can you do to stack the deck in your favor? You need to make yourself irreplaceable to your boss, your team and your company. Do this by providing extreme value both internally, within your organization, AND externally, to your field, industry and profession.

Here are 6 tips on how to stay competitive within your organization:

1. Play to your strengths

Look for opportunities to do what you do best. Utilize your strengths in your current role, through both the projects you are currently involved with and when you help out with something outside your scope of responsibility. Invest your time in further developing what you do best instead of trying to fix your deficits.

Exercise: Take a strengths inventory - quantify what you are best at so you can easily talk about how you can add value within your organization. Create a list of at least five strengths and describe how you apply them in your job to contribute to your organization.

2. Become an expert in something

Make yourself the 'go-to' person on something. Your expertise can be a hard skill or soft skill. Know a specific technology, be the great conflict resolver or understand a process or protocol that is integral to your business. Remember to consider what adds to the bottom-line of the business. By making yourself the 'go-to' person you become an integral and irreplaceable member of the team.

Exercise: Invest in your expertise - read literature, do research, attend training or take classes to further expand your area of knowledge. If you do not have an area of expertise yet, talk to colleagues and leaders in your organization to find a focus, then plan to become the subject matter expert.

3. Mentor others

Share your wisdom and experience to support and develop your coworkers. This expands your scope of impact and value. You look good when those around you look good. And, it doesn't hurt if a lot of people in your organization like you and turn to you for help and advice.

Exercise: Pay attention to your accessibility - are junior people in your organization comfortable approaching you? If not, how can you make yourself more approachable and available?

4. Know your field/industry, and be known

If you are seen as a contributor and leader to your profession, industry or field, beyond your organization, this makes you valuable to your organization. Making an impact beyond your company/firm means others know about you and the organization where you work. Get involved in professional associations, present at conferences and write articles for publication.

Exercise: Know your profession - research and join professional associations, attend and network at conferences and look for opportunities to write, present, lead, contribute and serve.

5. Take care of yourself

Being overwhelmed, overworked, always tired and/or stretched to capacity can backfire. Organizations want people who do their job well and fully without negatively impacting themselves or others. All work and no play will lessen your effectiveness, your energy and your enthusiasm.

Exercise: Develop a self-care plan - select at least two or three activities each week that enhance your personal well being. Schedule them as deliberately as you would a business meeting. Keep the appointment with yourself!

6. Have a Plan B

Even if you are committed to your organization, it may not be committed to you. Having other options, or at least knowing what you may do next, if necessary, can lessen your worry so you can focus on your current position. It also requires you to stay current in your field and connected to your network, which is positive for your current and future career aspirations.

Exercise: Create a Career Management Tool-Kit - keep your resume updated, stay connected with your network, have a professional profile on LinkedIn, stay on top of trends in your field, engage your own mentors and be aware of your current organization's competitors - they may be your future employer.

The above tips and exercises will not only keep you competitive in your current position and organization, they will help you manage your career successfully for the long-term!

2009-08-10T09:00:00.000-07:00

The best way to go about choosing an online recruitment company is to first of all sit down and think about what your company wants from its online recruitment solution company.

Cost - how much do you want to spend?

You have 2 key options...

No Placement, No Fee or a Retainer Contract.

With the internet being such a successful place to find candidates, the increased price you pay for a no placement no fee option is not required, unless the role is highly specialised. For general roles, going for a small retainer contract would be the best option, as the chances that you will not hire someone are so slim. Also for highly specialised roles, if you are doing a no placement, no fee option, then you really want to ensure that you agree the fee upfront in writing, and ensure that it is a price that you are willing to pay. A small fee retainer company might also be a good viable option to take in this instance if the fee is too expensive.

Company Promotion and Job Description

Many no placement, no fee recruitment agencies give no company information and very vague job descriptions, obviously this is due to the fact that they do not want competitors or candidates to idenify the employer incase they miss out on their fee.

Recruiting is a very positive task, and it can be used as an opportunity to promote your company as a employer in the job market, as well as increase brand awareness of your company on the internet.

Information about your company and the job role, will ensure that the right quality people apply for the job role, this increases your chances of finding the right people. Surveys show that people do prefer to know the name of the company and also the full job description. No placement no fee agencies do not do this.

Retainer contract recruitment companies can promote your brand, your profile and give full job descriptions as they are not afraid of loosing commissions.

So, in choosing a retainer contract online recruitment agency, you want to ensure that you get good quality of service, ask for references, and ensure a quality website is present. Make sure you agree prices, advertising and vacancy management services that suit with your company.

There are many low cost online recruitment companies on the market, a few stand out from the crowd. Look for unique selling points, like unlimited hires, brand promotion, online recruitment portals, and CV database searching.

New Consultants Income - 3 Step Procedure to Calculate How Much You Will Make

2009-08-09T21:00:00.000-07:00

When it comes to starting a practice one of the first questions is always, how much will a new consultant make? Almost every new business owner faces this same question with no certainty, but they go forward any way.

There is a very certain method to calculate your income when you start the business. It's an absolutely accurate system that you can use to calculate your projected income.

Use a Cash Flow Model;

Clients = Leads X Relationships X Conversions

1. Leads - lets start with discussing how your going to acquire your leads. I suggest article marketing, now if you write 100 articles and they get 50 views in a month than that's 5,000 views. Of the 5,000 only about 30% will go to your web page, that's 1,500 people.

2. Relationships - now if you work hard to offer value immediately to your web site visitors you're likely to get 30% to become subscribers thats 450.

3. Conversions - now if you offer products and services that your subscribers really want than your likely to convert 50% to paying subscribers that's 225.

Now, if you sell a $25 dollar product than you could expect $5,625 dollars income. Now the only real variables will be the exact percentages, and the time it will take you to go from lead generation to conversion.

When it comes to article marketing the percentages offered aren't very far off from many peoples real world experience, however you'll have to test this yourself. Next is the time it will take to receive your income, for many in the beginning stages of their business this may take anywhere form 6 - 12 months.

But the time it takes to go from leads to income would have shrunk and your system will be streamlined and have begun to gain momentum. You're likely to making $5,625 per month at that time, so as long as you continue to improve every step along the way.

The Internet - A Friend Or Foe to the Salary Negotiator

2009-08-09T09:00:00.000-07:00

Information and knowledge is power. In negotiations this information translates into bargaining power. The Internet is the ultimate source of information and is thus a great tool for employees to strengthen their bargaining power in salary negotiations. But there are disadvantages with the Internet as well.

A prime focus when preparing for a salary negotiation is of course to find out the market value of the job one is negotiating the salary for. There are loads of information about this on the Internet, categorized per country, state, kind of job etc. Just a few minutes of research could easily double the bargaining power of the employee.

Another prime focus when preparing for a salary negotiation is to find information about the employer. How is the employer doing financially? What is its history? What are its plans for the future? Information that is invaluable when the employee shall make himself as interesting as possible to the employer. Again - the Internet is a powerful source of information for the employee.

These and other pros of the Internet in a salary negotiation are obvious. There are, however, risks with the Internet that the employee needs to be aware of. This risk lies primarily in the quality of the information.

First of all, information that is not up-to-date will often do more harm than good for the employee.

Second, the information on the Internet is often scattered and brief. There are numerous websites providing information on how to negotiate a salary; information that, however, would fit on only one page in a Microsoft Word document. Although published with the best of intentions, the briefness of the information gives an appearance that a salary negotiation is a quite simple thing that one can succeed with armed with only a few tips.

This is very far from the truth. In fact, a salary negotiation can, from the perspective of the employee, be more complicated and tougher than a negotiation regarding a merger of two Fortune 500 companies. It is not something to be taken lightly and a few tips on a website will definitely not be enough if the employee has a serious ambition of getting a salary that is as high as possible.

Thus, there are powerful pros as well as powerful cons of the Internet for the employee about to negotiate his salary.

Learn How Your Ego Will Make You Fail When Negotiating Your Salary

2009-08-08T21:00:00.000-07:00

The employee or job seeker negotiating his salary often makes the most basic mistakes that almost all inexperienced negotiators make: they think only about themselves and their own interests when negotiating the salary. This strategy is a certain route to failure. The employee or job seeker must do the opposite, i.e. focus more on the employer than on himself.

The employee or job seeker must look upon himself as the president of his own corporation, where the service sold is the labor of the salary negotiator. Adopting this view means to force oneself to apply the commercial thinking of any commercial leader.

What is a company doing? What is the main business of any company? Many would answer: a company is selling a product or a service. This is wrong! The company is satisfying the needs of the customers. It is because there are needs - and not products - that there are markets. The product is of secondary importance. The product only serves to satisfy the identified needs. It is when the company is good at satisfying needs that it can charge a high price for the product.

Let's translate this basic commercial thinking to the "corporation" of the salary negotiator. What this corporation is doing is to satisfy the needs of the employer. The solution or product offered to satisfy this need is the labor of the salary negotiator.

In order to make the solution - i.e. the labor - as attractive as possible, the salary negotiator must seriously analyze the interests of the employer. The salary negotiator must all the time - both during the preparations and during the salary negotiation - take the perspective of the employer and look upon himself from the employer's point of view. It is when the salary negotiator can present himself as the answer to the needs of the employer that he can start claiming a really high salary.

McDonald's Applications Are Attracting College Grads

2009-08-08T09:00:00.000-07:00

At first glance a McDonald's application may not seem too appealing for someone looking for a job. While the fast food industry is full of difficult and stressful positions such as working as a cashier or as a food preparer, this fast food company continues to impress workers who have joined their teams.

The restaurant industry is generally famous for their high employee turnover rate; this is due to low entry-level pay, shift work, stress, and because of the hard work some people are simply not willing to perform. McDonald's jobs, on the other hand, offers something no other fast food chain can offer; a chance at career advancement with the most solid job security in virtually any industry.

This is why even college grads are turning their heads and and at least looking at and considering filling out a McDonald's online application. They know it's a fast hiring job with a chance to either use the career as a stepping stone to bigger and better things, or an opportunity to get in on the ground floor and progress to the corporate world.

McDonald's has been able to consistently attract college graduates by offering competitive fast food industry management trainee salaries with a chance to advance quickly through good job performance.

A McDonald's application is also a great way to continue earning college credits through their unmatched restaurant management training programs which are recognized by the American Council On Education.

Also, with an excellent, comprehensive benefits package it's easy to see why Mickey Dee's continues to be the king of all fast food restaurants; they are able to attract quality employees, including starry-eyed college grads who are proudly steering the ship!

Online Recruitment is Cost Effective and Gets Results

2009-08-07T21:00:00.000-07:00

Online Recruitment is the most cost effective strategy a company can adapt.

The internet has changed the way we do so many things, and job search is just one of the things that the internet has changed.

Think about it... Almost every home has a computer today with internet access, and the majority of people know how to use a computer. It doesn't matter if you are a cleaner, operative, driver, sales person, receptionist, manager or an accountant. Everyone looks online for jobs!

Advertising jobs online can be expensive, some sites charge £500 for a job posting. With so many job boards available, an effective online recruitment strategy will ensure that the job is posted on a selection of job boards, to ensure that the right audience and number of quality applicants apply.

The great thing about the internet is that your jobs are advertised 24/7, this gives you great online exposure and maximises the opportunity of finding people for even the most speciailised positions.

You can also search online CV databases to search for your ideal candidate. Today thousands of job seekers up their CV to job websites. This is a primary tool that recruitment agencies use to source candidates for their Clients.

Online recruitment is the future for sure, a recent survey from personnel today showed that most companies are preferring web based recruitment over traditional recruitment methods.

So if the future of recruitment is online, how are you going to benefit from this?

You can go it alone, learn the ropes of key word optimisations, how to get your job ranked highly, how to effectively search online CV databases, what job boards work for what type of jobs etc.

Or you can engage the services of an expert online recruitment company, but be careful when selecting a company if you decide to go this route. Think about what is important to your company and what relationship you want with your online recruitment company.

Do you want brand awareness in your jobs?
Do you want freedom to contact clients?
Do you want a fixed cost?
Do you want to work with open book recruitment systems?

Think about what is important to you and your company, and weigh up your options.

Nurse Kit - Tools and Supplies Nurses Commonly Use

2009-08-07T09:00:00.000-07:00

Alongside the skyrocketing number of students who are interested in pursuing the field of nursing because it continues to be a thriving industry, supplies of tools and paraphernalia related to nursing are also on the rise. Variety of scrubs, stethoscopes, white shoes, and other supplies have continually increased in sales because of high demand. Because of this, tools that have assisted student and registered nurses in their daily tasks have started to improve and revolutionize, coping with the changing, modernizing world today. These nursing tools have now come in with new designs, colors and features, veering away from the traditional stethoscope and tools of yesterday.

Aside from specific tools that specialized registered nurses use in their area of work, most of the tools plus the supplies are of common functions for nurses of different fields and categories. Some of the most widespread supplies and tools utilized by nurses are the following:

Stethoscope - It is one of the most frequently used supplies among nurses. The most famous and reliable brands of stethoscope include Littman, Omron, or Prestige, and/or ADC. For variety purposes, they can be bought with different styles and colors. Due to innovation and high technology, stethoscopes nowadays appear in lightweight in addition to electronic models, and can be used to specialized purposes like pediatrics. Price of stethoscopes may vary from $20.00 up to $700.00 depending on its brand and features.

Sphygmomanometer - or blood pressure bundle in layman's term is another commonly used tool in nursing. Because of different kind of patients, nurses could have over one more blood pressure unit to suit the large-sized arms of huge patients. Just like the stethoscope which may come out in electronic models, highly modern blood pressure unit involve digital wristwatch blood pressure monitors. In general, blood pressure units are priced under $100.00.

Shoes - Depending on the hospitals where nurses work and give their medical service, boundaries on the kind of shoes they need to wear vary. Similar to tennis shoes, nursing shoes need to be lightweight and fitted well to feet to stand long hours of standing as well as walking during duty. Aside from that, the shoes are classically white in color.

Gait belt - Gait belts which help nurses into moving and relocating patients, can come in an assortment of colors. Posey and Alimed are the two of the most standard brand of gait belts, whose price may range from $10.00 to $200.00. The difference in prices is mainly due to the kind of material used in making gait belts. Most of the time, those cheaper ones tend to be disposable.

Wristwatch - It is advised that nurses wear comfortable watch with hands that indicate seconds. It is also suggested that they wear waterproof watch that would not stop even if they frequently wash their hands.

Pen - Aside from watch, nurses should also keep a durable pen to record medical information and patient's medical needs. Because they most likely use it very often, it is advisable to use pens that are lightweight and easy to use. Aside from pen, nurses also need scissors especially when cutting bandages.

All these supplies and tools are available and sold in a portable kit for nurses. However, brands and prices may also be salient factors in buying nursing supplies. Along with the changes in nursing profession and flexibility in nursing jobs, tools are also evolving, suiting and matching the growing nurses' needs.

How to Find a Job Without Asking For One

2009-08-06T21:00:00.000-07:00

The worst thing you can do when looking for a job is to pick up the phone or write a letter and ask if they've got one. The answer, 99 out of 100, would be a firm "No!"

If the company has taken out an ad inviting a response, then of course that's a different story. Then you need to address all the points mentioned in the ad and send in a formal application.

But let's say you "hear" things about this one company that they "might" be hiring, even tough there is no official word on it, yet. Or perhaps that's one company that you'd really like to work for. What do you do?

Simple. You don't ask for a job. You ask for INFORMATION.

You adopt the role of an information seeker and not that of a job hunter.

Your goal is to get an interview but not as an "unemployed person."

You are someone who is researching his or her "career alternatives". That's who you are. Don't forget this crucial self definition because it's going to affect the way you approach and talk with your future employer.

Identifying yourself as a "career alternatives researcher" rather than an "unemployed job seeker" will set you up in a position of strength.

First, identify the correct party to call. This should be a decision maker; someone who can either approve your employment decision or at least influence it by his reference. It's no use calling the night janitor or the part-time accountant in the finance department, so to speak.

Then, call (email) this person and tell him and her this:

"The reason I'm calling today is I've always been fascinated by your company [organization; agency]. I'm writing a white paper [or, making a research about] your line of work and I wanted to know the secrets of your success. What makes you the industry leader in [ABC widgets]; how do you work; how do you organize your processes; how do you hire staff... It'd be great if we could get together for ten minutes for my research. Would such and such a date be good for you? etc."

The truth is you ARE actually making a research about this company because you'd like to be employed there. However at this point you should leave the matter of employment to the other person, without pushing it in any obvious manner.

Once the other party is impressed with your eagerness and energy [as well as, hopefully, your credentials, education, and work experience] he or she might offer you a position automatically. In real life such offers take place more often than you might think.

Sometimes an indirect approach is a lot more effective than a head-on attack, especially when it comes to nailing down that precious job-interview-that-is-not-a-job-interview. When the balance of the conversation is not hanging on a definite "yes" or "no," both parties would be more relaxed than usual. Within such a friendly atmosphere you'd have more chances of selling yourself to your prospective employer.

How to Dress When You Go on a Job Interview

2009-08-06T09:00:00.000-07:00

With so many people looking for a job today and so few jobs available how you look when you go on that job interview is more important than ever. It really doesn't make a difference what type of job you are interviewing for appropriate dress attire is always right. Many jobs after you have been hired do not require business attire for your everyday job, sometimes a uniform or work clothes may be required.

If you are a man going on a job interview I suggest you wear a pressed suit, an ironed shirt and a conservative tie. If you don't have a suit a pair of pressed slacks with a nice sports jacket and an ironed shirt with a conservative tie is acceptable. Make sure your shoes are polished and your nails are clean and manicured. Not knowing who will be doing your interview you want to portray a professional business like image.

Next, if you are a woman going on a job interview a business like suit or tailored dress is acceptable. With the suit wear a blouse with an appropriate neckline. Solid colors are usually considered more business like. Make sure your hem line is not too short, remember you are going on a job interview and not to a disco.You want to make sure you shoes are polished and appropriate for business. High heeled sandals do not look appropriate or safe for business. Wear your hair in a style that is flattering and business like.

Lastly, hygiene is ever so important when you go on an interview. Make sure you have bathed or showered and your nails and hair are clean. You want to have a clean refreshing body odor. I suggest not wearing too much cologne strong fragrances make some people sick. For women I suggest you wear just enough makeup so you look good but do not want to look like a clown.

Healthcare Jobs That Involve Traveling

2009-08-05T21:00:00.000-07:00

The high demand for short-term or temporary healthcare professionals in different places all over the United States and the world has fueled a new type of career option for healthcare workers everywhere. The travel healthcare industry has actually existed for close to twenty years. In the early days, healthcare-staffing companies matched qualified professionals with hospitals and clinics that were in dire need of short-term staffing solutions. Because needs in highly specialized medical fields could not always be met locally, people in medical careers are now able to enjoy regular travel as a part of their working lifestyle.

Seasonal Demand

One of the primary reasons that medical careers that involve traveling across the country or the world exist is fluctuating demand. One of the primary reasons that demand can fluctuate greatly has to do with the seasons. In areas where the population suddenly increases or shrinks dramatically based on whether it is spring, summer, fall or winter, maintaining an adequate level of healthcare staff in local hospitals and healthcare centers can be challenging. Hiring permanent, full-time or part-time staff to handle the influx during busier seasons (such as the state of Florida might have to during the winter when all the New England snowbirds migrate south) can be too committal. When the rise in population subsides and returns to more normal levels, the area can suffer from massive layoffs and unemployment in the medical field.

The costs of staffing in this way can become very high for medical facilities, as unemployment insurance premiums are likely to rise and the cost of training new staff every season can also be high.

Benefits of Healthcare Jobs That Involve Traveling

There are many benefits to having a career in the travel healthcare industry. Some of the benefits are very obvious, while others are not. Working with a good medical staffing agency will allow you to earn top pay and excellent benefits including the ability to save for retirement in a qualified plan such as a 401K. Most travel healthcare assignments provide private, quality housing that is free of charge for medical staff. Most healthcare workers know the experience of working in world-renown research facilities or teaching hospitals is priceless. The opportunity to work at not only one prestigious facility but several in different parts of the country is another benefit of travel healthcare.

Get Started

Getting into the travel healthcare industry is not difficult if you are already a medical professional or healthcare staff member. There are several different agencies that can help you get placed in short-term travel assignments. Many of these agencies can be found online. The process for getting started is very similar for most personnel agencies that specialize in healthcare travel.

1. An application is completed
2. You are assigned to a recruiter/contact at the agency
3. After being interviewed by your recruiter potential assignments will be identified for you
4. You will be interviewed by the director of the medical facility over the phone
5. After accepting an assignment, the agency will assist with all details including licensing, housing and benefits

Man Battling Layoffs and Illness Finds Hope in Acting

2009-08-05T09:00:00.000-07:00

Countless misfortunes, including illness and much needed surgeries, has left Cliff Garstka in serious turmoil. Like everyone, Cliff has hopes and goals, but his may never be met.

Cliff was once a vivacious hardworking man. He spent over two decades in the medical research field before he was forced to retire due to his crippling arthritis, which was caused from his numerous surgeries. Cliff, in his early 50s, relocated his family to Albuquerque, New Mexico in hopes of bettering his health and family's well-being.

As a therapeutic refuge, Cliff began acting and posting his demos on talent Web sites. He found a passion and his niche once again. When the Garstkas finally thought their bout with bad luck was over, Cliff's wife, the family's breadwinner was laid-off from her office management position. Cliff's hobby has now turned into his family's sole means of income.

As Cliff auditions for roles, he uses talent sites as his his interactive resume. Cliff's demo of The Deal, which can be viewed in his media, has landed him an acting agent. He has also been featured in films and TV shows. Cliff's most notable appearance can be seen in the movie Sunshine Cleaning, featuring Steve Zahn and Amy Adams.

Since the money market has begun to fail, the employment rate has plummeted. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics from April of 2008 until May of 2009 (present standings) there has been increase in almost every month, except for June 2008 and April 2009 for unemployment in Cliff and his wife's age bracket, 45-54 years-old. There does not seem to be an end in site for unemployment for Cliff's family. The Bureau of Labor Statistics also notes that the older the individual is the risk of unemployment is greater.

Now, according to CNN Money, New Mexico ranks 6th among the states for unemployment (including the District of Columbia) with a 4.3 percent rate. According to the CNN Money article, New Mexico unemployment rate is one of the lowest, opposed to Michigan's 9.6 unemployment rates. Cliff and his family live in one of the most affluent cities in New Mexico, so you may ask how is it possible for someone to still be unemployed. The answer may never be known, but speculations can be made agreeing with the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the older you become, the less chance you have of securing a job. This is very likely the case for the Garstkas.

Five Easy Steps to Delegate to Enhance Your Business Performance

2009-08-04T21:00:00.000-07:00

You cannot manage alone. Even if you can, your business will not grow and expand. Though you and many other entrepreneurs find it hard to delegate responsibilities to subordinates because trust and confidence are needed, yet it is a fact of life that you cannot do everything by yourself.

Delegation does not involve giving away simple and easy jobs. It is about assigning hard and challenging tasks to your subordinates. So, when you delegate, you can free yourself from doing other jobs which your people are also capable of doing. This way, you can devote your time and energy by performing the important tasks of management -- planning, organizing, leading and controlling, to ensure the survival, growth and profitability of your business.

To maximize your effectiveness, develop your employees, do many things simultaneously through your people, and increase your organization's performance-- delegate!

Below are five easy steps to delegate effectively.

1. Plan and decide the tasks to delegate. Since your time as manager is limited and valuable to the organization, make a list of the tasks that you do everyday and decide what tasks you can assign to your subordinates. This is necessary, as already mentioned, to free you from the not-so-important responsibilities that your people can do also. This way, you can multiply yourself through your employees and the business can continue to operate even if you are not around.

2. Decide whom to delegate the tasks. Running the organization is always a team effort. So, make a list of your staff's strengths, weaknesses, capabilities and competence and give them responsibilities on the basis of their skills. To delegate is to train and develop your team for bigger responsibilities. It will also enrich themselves and enlarge their job description in the organization, optimizing their value and contribution.

3. Communicate the responsibility. Make known to the staff your expectations and your target outputs and results. Since with responsibility comes authority and accountability, explain to them the extent of their authority, and the resources needed to achieve their assigned tasks. It is necessary to inform other employees that you have made someone in charge of a particular task, unit, or project, and that their support and cooperation are enjoined as a matter of policy.

4. Set performance standards. To ensure that your employees are performing their responsibilities, you plan with them and agree on a standard or yardstick to measure their performance. This way, they will have the feedback mechanism to know whether or not what they are doing are consistent with the agreed goals and standards. To give incentives to encourage sustained performance, a scheme may be devised to reward employees who are performing according to standards and to warn and re-train those who don't.

5. Review results regularly. Set regular time, like monthly, to meet and review results of the employees' performance, do corrective action, problem solving, and constructive feedbacking. Thereafter, plan for the next cycle of delegation.

Delegation is not an easy task. It is sometimes risky as well as challenging. However, to achieve business growth and enhance performance, you must know how to maximize your organization's key asset - the human resource. Delegation is one way to develop your people to build their competence and increase their contribution, thereby enhancing your business performance.

Could You Benefit From Teaching in the Nail Industry?

2009-08-04T09:00:00.000-07:00

There are some jobs that you usually do not consider and when you are a nail technician, teaching is one of them! However, if you have worked within a salon environment for at least three years then you may just be qualified to help others. Whether it be on a part time or a full time basis, you could potentially benefit from teaching students more about the nail industry and the products within it.

Understanding the Different Opportunities Available

If you are interested in teaching then you have a number of options open to you. You can:

* Work on a self employed basis for a local college or university
* Work for a nail product company
* Professionally train full time at a local university

Teaching on a part time basis for a local college or for a nail product company will be a lot more laid back than teaching professionally. You will also need fewer qualifications and less experience if you choose to teach with nail product companies. So it really depends upon what your teaching intentions are as to which option you should choose. Would you still like to continue being a nail technician or would you prefer to move on to full time teaching? If so then there are a number of requirements that you will need to meet.

Nail product companies often hire self employed nail technicians to train throughout the country. Many times this training is related to the products that they sell. So it could be training regarding the proper use of nail equipment or it could be training in how to correctly use different nail accessories. If you have three years experience within the field then you are usually qualified to apply for these types of training jobs. They can make you a good additional income and you can also continue to be a self employed nail technician.

If you would prefer to take a more professional route then you should have five years experience before you can gain an Assessors qualification. You will also need to look for a training job before you can complete the Assessors qualification as it requires you to have some teaching experience.

Overall it will take a lot of training and hard work if you would like to become a professional teacher. However, if you would just like to train students on a part time basis to earn some additional income then you will simply need qualifications such as NVQ's in a nail specific sector.

Preparing For a Temp Agency Interview

2009-08-03T21:00:00.000-07:00

It's difficult to find a job these days, but many people are finding that a temp agency can help them get work. Even temporary jobs often end up lasting months, during which time you can be searching for something more permanent. However, getting onto the agency's roster requires acing the interview, which might be nerve-wracking. There are some techniques, however that can help you do well in any interview, not just those with a temp agency.

Dress the Part

First impressions really do matter and even if you feel that the agency is not a "real" interview, you want to make sure you look the part. Dress neatly and professionally. Your clothes should be ironed and cared for. Untucked shirts and wrinkled slacks will give the interviewer the idea that you just don't care whether you get on their list or not . . . and chances are you won't! Everything from having trimmed nails and neatly combed hair can make a difference in the type of jobs the agency will refer you for, so take the time to clean up nicely.

Polish Your Resume

Having a great resume is a must in today's competitive marketplace. You may even want to have a professional polish your existing resume or help you create an entirely new one. This is what remains after your interview, so it's a good idea to carry an extra copy with you, even if you sent one in ahead of time. Having a copy on a disk can be handy, as well, so the interviewer can type notes and keep it on their computer. Bring a list of references and contact information, as well. This is important since the interviewer will need to talk to those you have worked for in the past. Make sure all contact info is up to date.

Make a List of Jobs

In a temp agency, they deal with a number of different positions, so it's quite likely they will ask you which positions you are best suited for. If you have prepared a list of jobs that you are comfortable with, along with your skill sets and how much experience you have in each, this will make it far easier for the interviewer to see exactly how they are going to be able to place you.

Study for the Tests

When you are applying for a position through an agency, they usually require you to take tests that will check your knowledge of specific areas. You can get the manuals for these tests ahead of time and study. While this like might seem a lot of work to get a job, it's worth doing, since a higher score will move you up the list for the best jobs that come in. You will be considered more employable and thus offered higher paying jobs more frequently if you can boost your score on these tests.

A temp agency interview is really not that different from any other job interview, but keep in mind that these companies have a reputation to maintain and they need to make sure that you are the type of person who will make them look good.

Will Your Job Last Throughout the Recession?

2009-08-03T09:00:00.000-07:00

Since the day few leading investment banks tumbled, stock exchanges plunged and the era of recession began, a regular feature of the daily headlines has been lay-off and job cutting news. A lot of companies have been pruning their work force to cut costs. Industries like real estate, finance, electronics, auto-mobile, tourism and luxury goods and services have been worst hit and the number of jobs affected is reach up to several thousands. So, instead of looking for large salary packages, work of interest and other factors, job seekers are just looking for jobs - any kind of jobs so to say.

The question arises that whether this crisis is applicable to every industry, or there are places where people's jobs are safe and where other people can look for jobs as well during these difficult times.

The answer is yes. There are some evergreen job providers which are safe options even when other sectors are finding it tough to sustain. Some of these sectors are traditional that could see through earlier recession periods as well and some are new ones which came into existence recently.

Recession Proof Industries

Medicine and Healthcare - Whatever the market scenario be, people still fall sick, natural disasters do occur and people need to be taken care of. Doctors, physicians, medical experts, nurses and hospital staff are some of the people who will not have to worry about their jobs. Also, medicine and pharmaceutical companies can see through the recession period. There may be some savings by reducing research but production of drugs and medicines will still continue.

Education - Requirement for education will persist consistently at basic and advanced level as well. Perhaps, it can even increase which stiffer competition due to lesser number of jobs. Schools, colleges, universities will continue to operate regularly. Hence, teachers, lecturers, professors can be assured of job security. There can be cases of reduced monetary grants, industry sponsored programs and scholarships, but due to the requirement of improving there qualifications students will still continue to enroll.

Legal Professions - Legal professionals involved in legal and dispute solving activities like personal, property, criminal and company related disputes are regularly being consulted. As fallout of recession cases of bankruptcy, litigations and contracts increase; thereby, increasing business in law/legal department.

Outsourcing/Services Providers - This is one industry that probably is a new one facing the recession. With businesses trying to cut jobs and internal operational costs as well, outsourcing companies and service providers are the first choice which results in these companies sustaining, to say the least, if not prospering.

Food Industry - This is one requirement people can't do away with come whatever may. People will continue eating mostly satisfying basic requirement and some times to satisfy taste buds as well. Therefore, the food industry will continue to operate comfortably; especially the low and medium cost food outlets. The only effected section of this industry will be high value and luxury food providers.

Sales and Marketing - Reduced business during the recession motivates businesses to sell and market even more aggressively. The number of jobs may not increase but will at least remain stable and will require skilled professionals. This will be true for all sales and marketing departments of all the industry sections, so even for severely hit sections sales and marketing will definitely be required.

FMCG - Products catering to basic and daily requirements of people will also continue to be in demand. Products such as toiletries, soap, cosmetics, teeth cleaning products, shaving products and detergents, packaged food products, glassware, paper products and plastic goods are regular usage items for everybody which is going to do business even in recession period. Clothing and garments, though not falling under FMCG, is also a regular usage commodity baring the fashion and luxury versions.

IT and Accounting Services - Basic operational requirements of companies such as IT and accounting services are a persistent requirement. With most of the companies having already incorporated IT systems, these will need to be maintained if not upgraded. This also requires substantial amount of workforce.

Given the current scenario, these industries will definitely bring some respite to people trying to earn their livings. Some of the above industry segments require highly and specifically skilled work force, so every body may be eligible to hope for a job their. But, other industry segments may accommodate people with diverse backgrounds. So, if a professional's current path is not looking promising, he/she can look out for other options as well.

Women Returning to the Workforce - Preventing New Career Blunders

2009-08-01T21:00:00.000-07:00

Women who feel they're ready to return to the workforce have to first double-check important guidelines to increase their success ratio and land their desired job. Here's a few of the common stopgaps among the re-careering woman who already knows what she's looking for and is trying to position herself for that job.

Resume Overload-trying to cram too much into your resume is a definite blunder. Tighten your resume up. Yes, a two-page resume with cover letter is still all employers want to view. Don't worry about capturing all the details. Highlight specific accomplishments, stats, #'s that demonstrate specifics of how you helped make a difference and that will jump out on the page. Your cover letter should only bring attention to those most important skills and accomplishments for the job you're applying for.

Resume Retro-not counting skills learned while off the job and only pointing up your former career history in your resume is a definite blunder. For example, many women don't know how to verbalize their time off raising children as a skill to mention in their resume. To communicate with children and teenagers you have to use persuasion, negotiation, anger management/patience, non-stereotyping approaches, and more. Write down all of your skills and emphasize these in talking about your time away from the office.

Non-paid Isn't Non-Work-you might be neglecting some of your best work. If you've volunteered your time, i.e. helped organize a program or project for your children's school, managed your ill parent's doctor care needs and medication schedule, wrote and sent out an agenda for a PTA meeting, made travel arrangements for yourself and family or other family or friends, sponsored an event of any kind...these and more are all valuable skills. Think about all the many roles you've played and capture those you enjoyed and excelled in to feature. Remember, these show your talents of commitment, loyalty, follow-through, a dedicated work ethic and your ability to set goals and follow through on them.

Unclear Work Parameters-though you may be anxious to work again and would like to enter or reenter a certain field, consider how available you want to be. Do you know the work demands for the job you're interested in? How much time are you willing to spend outside the home now? If you're an older worker, you may prefer part-time, but find yourself attracted to a position that requires fulltime work. Double think this and don't act too quickly as later you may be so exhausted you'll question your decision to return to work at all.

A Change in Pay-It's not always true that you'll have to take a pay cut. It will depend on how long you've been out of work and how much you've kept your skills up while absent. But be clear in advance what you actually need for money versus the benefits of a new opportunity that may pay less than you were earning before, but would add a positive dimension in your life that you yearn to experience.

Not Tapping Contacts- Most folks don't realize the breadth of contacts they have at their fingertips. Make a call sheet with as many current folks you know, whether or not you think they'll have a lead for you. Make your calls with a determination to leave each call with a direct or indirect referral or recommendation.
Forgetting to Practice Your Interview-It should be no different than a public speaker who prepares their talk ahead of time than it should be for you to practice your interview. Role play your interview with a trusted friend or coach. There are excellent question and answer books on interviewing to assist you. See my Resources page at my website for some of these.

Relax, you have the upper hand. Even if the economy is forcing you to return to the workforce when you'd rather continue to manage your household, you have a wealth of experiences that back you up. You're not a fresh starter as a college student with little work history, nor are you so senior you'd be best to volunteer your expertise to help younger workers, through organizations like the American Association of Retired Professionals. Take a deep breath, come at your job search prepared, and surrender to the interview process of "no, no, no, no, no, yes we're interested" steps of the process. Preparation and a willing, positive attitude will help see you through to results.

The Profession of Being a Teacher

2009-07-31T21:00:00.000-07:00

A teacher refers to a person responsible in imparting lessons, guiding, instructing and training a person or group of students in a particular academic knowledge or skill. Being a teacher is a professional occupation usually employed in formal schools and institutions. Some colleges and universities require teachers who have professional qualification.

For informal learning such as for purpose of home tutor or for special skills, the teacher is called a tutor. This profession may also require credentials. There are also teachers for religious purposes which include lamas, rabbis, gurus and mullahs. Their roles are differing depending on the culture and country. Teachers have specific specializations. They could be more inclined towards academic subjects like math, science or language. Or they could be more into arts and crafts, vocational training or other specific subjects.

School teachers use lesson plans that they follow for a certain time frame, say a month or a whole year. These lesson plans must be in accordance with the school's standard curriculum. Teachers use this as a guide to make sure that the students are able to learn the subject matter in an organized manner.

There are different methodologies in teaching. As a procedure, teachers will decide their methods of teaching based on the level of understanding of their student, the school environment and the available resources in the school.

Aside from teaching students in classroom environments, these mentors have other duties associated with the activities in the school. They are responsible in assisting their students during field trip, outreach programs and other outdoor activities. Teachers are also tasked to organize and manage extracurricular activities such as sports fest, festivals, school programs and seminars. It also involves imposing disciplinary measures for students when it is called for. It is in line with the belief that misbehaviors should not be tolerated.

Public and private schools are committed in nurturing the skills and knowledge of their school teachers. Educational institutions provide continuous training and development programs for teachers. They undergo series of trainings in order to update their knowledge and become efficient in teaching their students. They are also updated on the latest methods of teaching, if ever. In addition, the government established several institutions to provide certification and enforce specific standards for professional teachers. This aims to protect the interest of students and parents.

Sometimes, teachers are given the responsibility to purchase all the needed teacher supplies necessary for students and teachers. This is a challenging task which requires some decision making. When purchasing teacher supplies, you can have good ideas by visiting some of the teacher supply stores available near the area and ask information on the best supplies available.

Supplies do not only refer to items such as papers and pencils. Teachers and students need items to be decorated on the school's bulletin board. Teachers need items wherein they can organize all their essentials for teaching. Materials for making visual aids are also an important purchase which includes colored paper, coloring pens, scissors, paste, glue and many other materials.

Teaching is a difficult job. It requires utter dedication and selflessness to be able to impart your learning to the students. It not only deals with academic knowledge alone. Being very knowledgeable will not immediately qualify as a good teacher. What is more important is the attitude and the skill of being able to transfer the lessons effectively to the students. It is a gift.

A teacher will be dealing with many students of different personalities. Some will be like a sponge who grasps the main ideas very easily. Other students will require more patience as they would find it more difficult to understand the subject matter. As a teacher, it is his role to take care of all of these students, making sure no one is left behind.

Cubicle Free Careers

2009-07-31T09:00:00.000-07:00

From the arrival of Dilbert in the 1980's to the publication of blogger Pam Slim's 2009 book, Escape From Cubicle Nation, the perils of toiling in an office cubicle have been the punch line of many jokes. Who could forget the infamous "TPS" reports in the 1999 movie Office Space; perhaps the ultimate satire of life in the corporate world; or the office trivialities that arise into full-blown dramas each week in TV's The Office?

As the Class of 2009 enters a fiercely competitive market, and office dwellers continue to be outsourced, down-sized and laid off, many individuals are reconsidering whether the "corporate world" is for them.

The American Association of Cosmetology Schools, which serves as the voice for nearly than 850 member cosmetology schools across the nation, reports increased enrollments among individuals who have been laid off as well as recent high school and college grads seeing a career that lies outside of the office.

"Careers in beauty offer a tremendous amount of flexibility in terms of location and daily routines," noted American Association of Cosmetology Schools Executive Director Jim Cox. He noted that while many people envision a cosmetology career as leading to a job in a salon; graduates work in a range of settings ranging from day spas to television stations; cruise ships to rehabilitative service organizations.

Mr. Cox noted other aspects of beauty careers that are attracting individuals to cosmetology school; including:
• Flexible hours - Today's generation is looking for the autonomy to create their own schedule. Many beauty careers including salon owner, esthetician, colorist, massage therapist and more; provide tremendous flexibility in working hours.
• Creativity - No two client's needs are exactly the same. While a stylist may perform 12 haircuts in a day, each client will have a unique hair structure and concerns about the type of cut they desire.
• Unlimited earnings - Ultimately, advancement in a beauty career is a function of an individual's work ethic and energy. Beauty careers are immune from the "annual review and standard of living increase" that characterize traditional office jobs.
• Stability - Personal care services including skin care, nail services and styling cannot be performed via technology at a distant call center.

While careers in beauty offer many benefits not available in an office environment, corporate jobs do instill valuable skills that will benefit future cosmetologists. These skills include the ability to manage one's time, deliver excellent customer service and sales techniques. "Many of our most successful students cultivated strong sales and customer service skills while working in another industry. However, most cosmetology curriculums today include coursework on sales and service in addition to style and technique," Mr. Cox noted.

5 Tips to Finding a Job in Tough Times

2009-07-30T09:00:00.000-07:00

As a professional Transition Counselor I see every day the effect of the recent changes in the job market. I also see and hear of those things that work in the job search and those that don't. Often that 'aha' moment comes when a client least expects it and the light bulb comes on over their head. In this article are some of the tips that have helped people in recent weeks and months.

12 months ago it was normally assumed that between 80 and 85 percent of all jobs were obtained through networking in one form or another, today for the majority of positions that is now closer to 95%.

More than ever, those in work are being chased by those out of work to 'Network' and in some cases I am being told that the option of a "short meeting" is not on the table as often as it used to be.

Tip 1 Grow your network through an online service like LinkedIn. Stretch your contact list as far as you can and do not use the canned invitation. Create your own invitation and make it personal.

Tip 2 As you work to grow your network make it easy for people to find you. Don't hide yourself, make sure that you are visible and also that your profile clearly states you are interested in new opportunities.

Tip 3 Create a target list of companies and make sure that all of your contacts have a copy of it. When you are attending a networking meeting insure that your contact has this list well in advance and you explain to them that you are looking for contacts in these specific companies or others that may be similar in size, product set, etc.

Tip 4 Have a set of great networking questions to ask at the meeting. These should include:

- Do you think my resume best fits my goal?
- Do you know any industry groups or associations that I should look into?
- Do you think I am focusing on the industries best suited to my skills?
- What are your thoughts as to the industry direction/trend/etc.?
- What do you see as being the skills in greatest demand at the moment?
- Are there any skills I am missing and should take additional training for?

Tip 5 Treat every networking meeting as an interview. With the growth of unadvertised positions you never know what opportunity may be lurking around a corner. Try to have the meeting in an office rather than a coffee shop, this provides you with a chance to meet other staff members.

Finally, remember that when all else fails start networking, networking and then more networking.

Is Real Estate a Career For Me?

2009-07-29T21:00:00.000-07:00

It is very common to hear success stories about people in various fields of real estate and mortgage refinance, and all the money they made last year. Naturally, you think to yourself that you could do that too, be your own boss, set your own hours, and make a pile of money, all the while not having to race with the other rats. If that sounds attractive to you, read on!

First of all, the term "real estate" is really large and encompasses numerous industries and specializations. You have residential real estate (and its sub-categories), commercial real estate (and its sub-categories), investment, residential or commercial appraisal, mortgage lending and banking, construction, management, auctions, leasing, and so forth. So the first choice you must make is which of these fields will be your specialty?

For simplicity's sake, let's suppose you choose residential brokerage, the most popular of these specialties. That means you want to sell real estate, since that is what brokerage is all about. Here is the secret: to be good at sales you must possess two personality traits. The first is empathy and the second is ego-drive. Without these two traits you cannot succeed (in the long run) in sales. Empathy is the ability to feel with someone. When a prospective purchaser says, "I just can't afford that house", your empathy says, "You know, I understand where you're coming from 'cause I've been there." Now your ego-drive must kick in. Ego-drive is defined as the need to persuade. So your ego-drive kicks in and you say, "I know you think you can't afford this house, but let me show you how you really can." In other words, you can't let the prospect fail to buy something because then you feel unfulfilled.

Empathy and ego-drive are learned traits, but they are a part of your personality which is pretty much formed by the time you are five or six years old. If you don't have these traits by that age, the shrinks tell us that your chances of "learning" them are very low. And if you don't have these, you need to go into another facet of real estate.

But assuming you have them, you must first get a real estate license. This requires a long class (the length of the class varies by state) and a difficult exam (with extensive - though not really hard - math). Assuming you pass the class and the state exam, now you must find a licensed broker to sponsor you. If you have a lot of sales experience (in any field), this will likely be simple. If not, it will be more challenging.

Now you must get listings, the lifeblood of the successful real estate sales person. The competition is cutthroat since there are always more agents vying for the listings than there are listings. You say, "that's OK, I'll be a buyer's broker". Remember, even the National Association of Realtors (c) says its most successful associates, as a trend, concentrate on listings far more than sales.

Another choice is the time you are willing to invest in learning your trade. Real estate is not "part-time". Would you want the health of your children in the hands of a part-time doctor? Would you want your defense against a charge of white-collar crime in the hands of a part-time lawyer? Do you want somebody who teaches dance classes three days a week repairing the brakes on your car? If you will sit down with the really successful real estate sales people, you'll find that they work at it 50 to 60 hours per week, and that's not always between 9AM to 5PM, either.

And then there is the pay. Yes, you can make a truckload of money. But you don't get paid if the deal does not close, no matter how much work you put into the transaction. Let's suppose you sell three one-million dollar houses this year. That means you'll have only three paydays this year, too (albeit large ones). There are no benefits, no 401(k) plans, no year-end bonuses, no paid insurance, no paid vacations, no car allowances, and no signing bonuses. You get a portion of the commission your office charges. This is not meant to scare you; it is meant to open your eyes and your mind.

Remember, for some, real estate brokerage can be a great career, but look into all of real estate's facets before you make a decision.

fitting tanks and pipework

being involved in installing and maintaining gas, oil and solid fuel appliances

installing and repairing domestic appliances such as showers

The types of qualities and attributes a plumber will need

You need to be prepared to get your hands dirty, and have the attitude of wanting to do the job right. An aptitude for math will be necessary as you will be dealing with numbers and you need to be good with using your hands. Of course as with any job there will be some drawbacks, as in plumbing you will need to be prepared to work in cramped conditions at times, and have the stamina to do physical work day after day. You will have to be a quick learner as you will be using tools and other forms of equipment on a daily basis. As well as having the essential physical skills, you will need to have good people skills too, as your profession requires you to be communicating with people on a regular basis. You will have to be respectful of other people's properties and uphold good standards of work. All of this will lead to incredible job satisfaction and rewarding long-term prospects for your future career.

What qualifications do you need?

It is advisable that you follow the National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) route or the (SNVQ in Scotland). This route will mostly involve theory and practical work in the classroom/purpose built training facility and work based experience with a working plumber. Most colleges will help students organise work placements, although many students organise it themselves.

There are a range of programs out there for your offering, and it is up to you to decide which course will be most suited to you. You may simply wish to take a short plumbing course to learn some skills. On the other hand, you may be interested in making a long term career out of it, therefore a longer program would suit you more.

Five Things Not to Do in a Job Interview

2009-07-28T21:00:00.000-07:00

It doesn't matter what industry you are in, or what job you do, when you're trying to land your next job, you have to have a competitive mindset to win the job offer. You've probably heard or read about the different things you are supposed to do when meeting with a prospective employer. Let's turn our focus from what you should do, to what you should never do during a telephone, online meeting, or face to face interview.

- Do not be late for your appointment. This shows the employer that you are not reliable from the get-go. Instead, be sure to arrive at least fifteen minutes early, and check in with the front desk or receptionist to let them know of your presense. In the event the time passes, and you have not been called in for your meeting, go back to the individual you checked in with, to ensure they actually informed the interviewer you are there.

- Do not leave extra copies of your resume in the car. I suggest having a minimum of three copies of your resume prepared on high quality paper available at every interview. In the event the hiring manager calls in a colleague for you to meet as part of the interview process, or has an additional manager sit in on the interview, you are prepared to shake hands and bring them "into the loop." This makes you, as the candidate, look prepared.

- Do not be afraid to ask thoughtful, intelligent, and deliberate questions during an interview. In fact, it is recommended that you work with your career coach or recruiter to create a list of at least ten questions that show you have researched the opportunity with this company, and further illustrate your competency and ability to perform the position in which you are applying. Keep in mind, you never want to ask questions that are easily answered on the company's website, or is general public knowledge.

- Do not avoid eye contact throughout the interview. Consider your meeting with the hiring manager to be a performance. The truth of the matter is you are attempting to out-perform other applicants and prospective hires for the same position. If you put yourself in the shoes of the employer, you quickly realize how important behavior and body language is to the interview outcome. By maintaining eye contact with the people you are speaking with, you show that you are confident, and capable of performing the job in which they are hiring for.

- NEVER discuss money or benefits during your meeting. If you want to ensure you do not get an opportunity with the company you are applying with, try to bring up compensation. The hiring manager is meeting with you to determine whether or not you are a good fit for the position, and their organization. To discuss money shows your ignorance of the hiring process, and shows a lack of professionalism. The purpose of the interview is for you to articulate to the company what you can do for them. Compensation should not ever enter the conversation until an offer has been made. This is where the salary negotiation process begins.

It is critical to know what not to say during a job interview. While preparation is always key to a good interview, each candidate should realize that they are competing for the same position against formidable opponents. To ensure your best performance during the interview, be sure to think about what the employer is actually looking for, and show them how you can best fit that requirement.

Changes in the Career Cycle Throughout One's Lifespan, Part 2

2009-07-28T09:00:00.000-07:00

According to Zunker (2002) career guidance must be delivered to meet the growing needs of young students at every level occupational development. Programs should be developed according to children's exploratory age when they narrow their career decisions based upon their personal characteristics. High school students should profit from programs designed to complement occupations and their skills. Included in these programs should be counseling on the importance of matching educational and career goals. Programs at lower-level grades may include computer skills and communication training.

Work-release programs for high school students will allow them to adopt occupational skills that will only be obtained from hand-on experience. Through this training, the student will also develop the interpersonal communication skills and the self confidence needed in today's competitive job market.

According to Zunker (2002) college career guidance programs should include training to develop interpersonal skills needed in today's job market, self-identity, personal motivations, lifelong learning strategies, how the needs of society influence work, decision making, environmental dynamics, resume writing, interview skills and career transition skills. These counseling topics may be presented during one-on-one counseling, seminar-type programs, elective courses, outreach programs, and life planning workshops.

Many of the college-level services are available to alumni. In many cases, non-college affiliated people may also use the services. In today's uncertain job market, many people find themselves a product of downsizing or chasing their own entrepreneurial dreams. These individuals need to continually maintain an eye on their career. Whether working for themselves or an organization, resumes, interpersonal communication skills, life-long learning, and decision making skills continue to be of importance.
