Your Most Important Asset

When you're looking to get hired or get promoted, what do you think is your most important asset? Your experience? Knowledge? Skill? Talent?

While all of those are advantages that will help you achieve your goals, there's one thing that's more important than all of them combined.

> job vacancy indonesia 

Your attitude!

I attended a board meeting recently. It should've been spelled "bored." Just about everyone's eyes were glazed over or nearly closed with fatigue as one dull presentation after another was foisted upon the board members, staff and audience. 

Then something changed.

Someone who had never spoken at a board meeting before got up, went to the lectern, fired up her PowerPoint presentation, and totally blew everyone away!

People perked up in their seats and listened attentively to her every word.

When she was done, people clapped! (If you've ever attended a public agency board meeting before, you'll know how remarkable that is!) The board president said, "I've seen hundreds of presentations. This is the first time I've ever seen one that elicited applause!"

Was this presenter more experienced, more knowledgeable, more skilled or more talented than all the others? Absolutely not. As a fairly new employee, she was actually inferior in all of those areas.

What made the difference? Her attitude.  >vacancy  

She was enthusiastic, positive, upbeat, energetic and truly excited about what she was talking about!

It wasn't the quality of her presentation that impressed people, it was how she made them feel. Her enthusiasm was contagious, so the audience greatly enjoyed listening to facts and figures that, presented by someone without her energetic attitude, would've bored them to tears.

Everyone in that room will remember and think very highly of her--not the more experienced, knowledgeable, skilled or talented presenters--because of her attitude.

You know why companies conduct time-consuming, labor-intensive job interviews instead of simply hiring people based on the qualifications presented in their resumes? One of the reasons is to find someone they'll enjoy working with.

This can only be conveyed in person, by your attitude.

Think of your own co-workers. Who do you enjoy working with? The smart guy who has all the answers but acts superior? The woman who has the most experience but whines or complains whenever she's asked to do something in a new way?

Or the person who always smiles, listens to you, stays positive, friendly and supportive no matter what? > employee

What To Do When Your Boss Is a Jerk

I've never worked for a boss I didn't like or respect. Sure, some were better than others, but I never considered quitting my job because of a bad boss. Unfortunately, many employees aren't so lucky.

If your boss is a total jerk, someone you'll never get along with, admire or respect no matter how hard you try, there are a few things you can do.

Wait. Is your boss close to retirement or promotion--or even better--termination? If so, try to bide your time and wait until that happy event happens. 

> job vacancy indonesia  

Bite your tongue. Keeping anger and frustration bottled up inside is not healthy, but neither is complaining about your boss at work. So if your family can tolerate it, vent at home instead. It'll make you feel better even if it does nothing to help your situation. It may be tempting to complain about your boss at work, especially if coworkers are talking about the same problems. But resist that temptation! If your boss finds out that you are complaining about him, he'll have a legitimate reason to take appropriate action against you and make your life under him worse than it already is.
Continue to work hard. Regardless of how your boss treats you, it's in your best self-interest to continue doing your job to the best of your ability. Stay focused and think about how your efforts are helping the company as a whole. If you do a good job, you may get noticed by your boss's colleagues or even his superiors. Maybe a better opportunity will arise.
>vacancy  
Try to improve your relationship. If your boss is a complete jerk, this may be impossible no matter what you do. But if he's only a partial jerk, perhaps it would be worth your time to try to make the situation better. After all, this person may have control over your advancement up the career ladder. And while quitting may seem to be the easiest thing to do, searching for another job, having to explain why you left your last one, and struggling to get a decent reference from an ex-jerk-boss may make leaving a difficult option for you. Instead, swallow your pride and try to understand your boss's management style and personality and adapt yourself to that. For instance, if he's a micromanager, give him constant updates and details on what you're doing (even if you think it's a waste of your time and he should just trust you to do your job).
Effective communication is very important, and it works both ways. If your boss is unclear in telling you what he wants, ask questions until you know exactly what's expected. During performance evaluations or one-on-one discussions, ask him what you can do to meet his expectations.
Go over your boss's head. This is rarely a good idea. But if you've tried everything else, and you feel that your boss is making serious mistakes that affect the company (and not just you), consider talking to his superior. If you take this route, be prepared with specific examples and proof, not just accusations. And realize that this tactic may backfire on you (especially if your boss's boss is also a jerk).

Settling Successfully Into Your New Job

The euphoria of getting a new job can sometimes be overcome by apprehension about what comes next. After all, you're "the new kid on the block," and there's much to learn--about your new job duties and much more. But here are some things you can do to make the process go smoother. 

> job vacancy indonesia  

1. Dress for success. You'll want to look professional. Dress on the conservative side for the first week. Once you've got a good idea of what's appropriate and what isn't, you can adjust your style.

2. Be on time. You never want to start your new job by being late, so make sure you allow plenty of time for your commute. Plan the most direct route, but be aware of alternates in case of an accident or other traffic snarls.

3. Get to know people. Be polite and friendly to everyone you meet, whether it's the receptionist or the general manager. Introduce yourself, smile and make eye contact. Make a positive first impression. Ask about your coworkers' interests. 

>vacancy

4. Ask questions. From "Where's the bathroom?" to "Which tool do I use for this task?" It's OK to ask for help! Your coworkers will feel good about doing whatever they can to assist you. Let them. It's always better to have to ask the right way to do something than to try to figure it out on your own, mess up, and have to do it all over again.

5. Remember your place. You may feel "qualified" to tell your new coworkers that there's a better way to do something, but be patient. Every workplace has its own way of doing things. Never say "That's not how we did it at my old company!" (You're coworkers may invite you to return to your old company!) Be patient and become an accepted member of the team before you make suggestions for improvements.

6. Be careful about office politics. Pay attention to the grapevine, but don't contribute to it. Do not accept at face value what one employee says about another; form your own opinions based on your own interactions and judgment. Never complain about anyone at your old job or your new one. Figure out who has the real authority to give you work to do, and who is trying to take advantage of your newness.

Above all, keep a positive attitude, do your work to the best of your ability, and keep an open mind. Before you know it, you'll be climbing the career ladder and giving advice to newcomers!

Job Tips -> Top Ten Tips for Attending Career and Job Fairs

by Randall S. Hansen, Ph.D.

1. Have a pen/pencil and paper available for notes.
2. Bring resumes and a folder or portfolio to hold your materials.
3. Take the time to find out what companies will be represented before the day of the career fair.
4. Research information about the participating companies and organizations prior to approaching the recruiters. Use the Internet, news sources and career fair materials to learn about the companies' booths you plan to visit. You can impress a recruiter by knowing about his or her company and can discuss its current situation.
5. Use time wisely. Determine where employers are located and in what order to visit them. Focus on three companies that you are truly interested in.
6. Broaden your focus and include many types of employers. For instance, you may not have considered working for a hospital, but hospitals recruit and hire professionals in many different fields (e.g., management, information systems, or health care).
7. Be aware of time demands on employers. Do not monopolize an employer's time. Ask specific questions and offer to follow up after the fair, as appropriate.
8. Be direct. Introduce yourself, including your name and career interests. If you are job-seeking, state the type of position in which you are interested. If you are gathering information, let employers know that you are only interested in materials and information. Remember to use good eye contact and a firm handshake. Career fairs are the perfect place to use your elevator speech.
9. Make sure you learn from the recruiter employment and/or hiring trends, skills necessary for different jobs, current openings, salary, benefits, training, and other information about the organization. Also make sure you know whom to contact for follow-up discussions.
10. Ask the employer for the next steps in the recruitment process and try to obtain the recruiter's business card for follow-up discussions/correspondence.

Succeeding with Panel Interviews

These days, job interviews often consist of a panel of three-to-six interviewers.

A "team approach" to finding the best candidate can be beneficial for the employer. Each member brings a different set of skills, experience and judgment to the team, and can point out pros (and cons) about a candidate that the other interviewers might miss. 

Panel interviews can also be beneficial for the job seekers.

In a one-on-one interview you only have one shot at making the best impression. With a team doing the interviewing, your odds are increased.

Say for example that Interviewer No. 1 had a bad experience with your past employer and unconsciously (or consciously) holds that against you, even though you had nothing to do with what happened. Interviewers No. 2, 3, and 4 have no such prejudices and so could sway the vote in your favor. 

While panel interviews often seem more intimidating than one-on-one interviews, here are some steps you can take to ease your stress and ensure a better outcome.

1. Relax. Remember that being faced by a panel of strangers (versus one) is better for you.

2. Smile. Everyone in the room will smile back and you'll all get off to a great start.

3. Greet each interviewer individually. Shake hands with each person. Repeat their names as you are introduced (everyone likes to hear their own name, and it will help you to remember them).

4. Include everyone when answering questions. Face and make eye contact with the person who asks the question, but then extend your eye contact to everyone in the room. You're speaking to all of them, not just the person who asked the question.

5. Get their cards. Before leaving, get a business card from each person in the room. These will come in handy when it's time to send your thank-you notes. (If they don't have cards, ask for their names again if you don't remember them; jot them down. You can contact the HR person or receptionist later to get their email or mailing address.)

6. Send individual thank-you notes. Immediately send a thank-you note to each member of the interview panel, but don't make the notes identical. Make it more personal by pointing out something that person said or asked. For example, "When you asked me about my marketing experience, I forgot to mention that in addition to my three years as a marketing representative at ABC company, I also participated on several marketing focus groups while working at XYZ company."

How to Answer Questions About Underperforming Co-workers

A new subscriber recently asked me how to respond to this type of interview question: "What would you do if a colleague was not pulling his weight?"

Note: since the question is worded with "colleague" and not "employee" or "subordinate," I'm going to answer this as it would apply to a NONSUPERVISORY position. 

There are generally two management styles that determine how employers want their people to handle such situations. Unfortunately, they are completely different.

One style encourages employees to resolve conflicts and fix problems at the lowest level. So in that case, they'd probably want you to talk to your colleague one-on-one, to explain what he or she is doing wrong and how it's bad for the company and his/her own job

security. Then offer to help that person improve (as long as it did not adversely affect your own duties). If you can help this person improve, then you are helping the employee pull his/her weight (meaning he/she may not have to be replaced), you are helping the company maintain its quality standards, and also helping the supervisor/manager by saving them from having to deal with this problem.

The other style encourages employees to notify supervisor/managers immediately whenever there is a problem. The theory here is that management needs to know what's going on so they can make improvements. If there's an employee who is not performing up to standards, it could mean that employee was poorly trained, is not being properly motivated, or should never have been hired. Any of those situations should be addressed by management, so the best thing would be to bring the colleague's poor performance to the attention of your supervisor. He/she can then decide what to do about it.

As you can see, these management styles are opposite in nature. If possible, it would be good if you could find out which type of approach is preferred by the company involved. But I realize that may be difficult. In that case, I believe the best way to answer that question is something like this:

"My first step would be to determine how ABC Company prefers for these types of situations to be handled -- whether they want such problems resolved at the lowest level, or immediately broght to management's attention. Can you tell me which is preferred by ABC Company?"

If they do tell you, then you can easily adjust your answer to fit their particular management style. If they do not tell you, then you'll have to say something like, "Well, if they prefer that these situations be handled at the lowest level, then I would personally try to help the employee to improve his performance (as long as it did not affect my own duties)." (Then go into some detail about ways you could help, such as answering his questions, showing him how to do a particular task, etc.)

"If my attempts to help the employee were unsuccessful and I felt his performance was going to continue to be below ABC Company standards, I would bring the matter to the attention of my supervisor. I know that ABC Company prides itself on quality service and performance, so I feel it would be my responsibility to ensure those standards are upheld, not only by myself, but by those around me.

"If ABC Company prefers that such situations be immediately brought to the attention of the appropriate supervisor or manager, then I would, of course, do that instead of spending time trying to help the employee improve."

Dealing With "How Would You...?" Questions

If you're a newsletter subscriber or frequent visitor to my website, you know that I'm always preaching about proper preparation prior to interviews. If you research the position and company carefully, you can anticipate likely questions and prepare excellent answers.

But something I also tell job seekers is that you can never anticipate every single question.

I once had to respond to a "How would you...?" question about exhuming a dead duck. I am not making this up. The position involved community affairs work for a sewer treatment plant. How could I have anticipated such a strange question? It took me totally by surprise.

But I got the job.

Often with problem-solving questions, the interviewer isn't looking for a "right" or "wrong" answer. He or she is more interested in the thought processes you demonstrate to come up with your answer.

The dead-duck question was based on an actual incident, and the person who asked it is the person who had to deal with it. My response showed that I would have handled the situation differently than she had, but it also showed that I knew about problem solving. I didn't panic at the unexpected question; I didn't answer before thinking about it for a few seconds; and I didn't blow it by giving a lame response like, "Gosh, that's a really tough question! I honestly don't know what I would do in that situation."

Here are a few tips to help you deal with "How would you...?" problem-solving questions:

1. Ask questions to determine exactly what the interviewer is looking for. (This will also give you a bit more time to think.)

2. Explain how you would gather the information and data necessary to develop a solution to the problem.

3. Tell how you’d use the information you gathered to develop and analyze alternative courses of action.

4. And finally, tell them your solution or recommendation, explaining how you feel it's the best option based on the info you were given.

The "How would you...?" type of problem-solving questions are popular in interviews these days. You must not let them scare you. Don't rush your response and don't stress yourself out wondering what answer they're looking for.

The 10 Worst Job Tips Ever Part II

By Liz Ryan

6. SEND YOUR RESUME VIA AN ONLINE JOB AD OR THE COMPANY WEB SITE, ONLY

Successful job-seekers use friends, LinkedIn contacts, and anybody else in their network to locate and reach out to contacts inside a target employer. Playing by the rules often gets your résumé pitched into the abyss at the far end of the e-mail address talent@xyzcorp.com. If you've got a way into the decision-maker's office, use it. Ignore advice that instructs you to send one résumé via the company Web site and wait (and wait, and wait) to hear from them.

7. NEVER SEND A PAPER RESUME

I've been recommending sending snail-mail letters to corporate job-search target contacts for three or four years now, and people tell me it's working. The response rate is higher, and the approach is friendlier. A surface-mail letter can often get you an interview in a case where an e-mail would get ignored or spam-filtered. One friend of mine sent her surface-mail résumé and cover letter to a major company's COO in New York, and got a call a week later from a general manager wanting to interview her in Phoenix, where she lives. She showed up at the interview to see her paper letter—yes, her actual, signed letter, on bond paper—and résumé sitting on his desk in Phoenix (probably conveyed via an old-fashioned Inter-Office envelope). An e-mail might have ended up in the COO's spam folder.

8. WAIT FOR THEM TO CALL YOU

You can't wait for companies to call you back. You've got to call and follow up on the résumés you've sent. If an ad says "no calls," use your LinkedIn connections to put you in touch with someone who can put in a word with the hiring manager. Don't sit and wait for the call to come. Your résumé is in a stack with 150 others, and if you don't push it up the pipeline, no one will.

9. GIVE THEM EVERYTHING.

Give them your résumé, your cover letter, and your time in a phone-screen or face-to-face interview. But don't give anyone your list of references until it's clear that mutual interest to move forward exists (usually after two interviews), and don't fill out endless tests and questionnaires in the hope of perhaps getting an audience with the Emperor. Let the employers know that you'd be happy to talk (ideally on the phone at first) to see whether your interests and theirs intersect. If there's a good match, you'll feel better about sharing more time and energy on whatever tests and exercises they've constructed to weed out unsuitable candidates. Maybe.

10. POST YOUR RESUME ON EVERY JOB BOARD

This is the best way in the world to get overexposed and undervalued in the job market. (Exception: If you're looking for contract or journeyman IT work, it's a great idea to post your credentials all over.) People will find your LinkedIn profile if they're looking and if you've taken the time to fill it out with pithy details of your background. If you're not employed, include a headline like "Online Marketer ISO Next Challenge" or "Controller Seeking Company Seeking Controller." Your résumé posted on a job board is a spam-and-scam magnet and a mark that your network isn't as robust as it might be. These aren't the signs you want to put out there. Use your network (vs. the world at large) to help you spread the job-search word.

Characteristics of a Good Employee

By N. Vijayarani

A good employee is like gold to a company. The employers always expect for employees with the following qualities and characteristics

Enthusiasm
The enthusiastic employees always have an interest in doing the job and thus the work will be complete in time and also with interest. Such employees create a positive atmosphere around them and do not say" I cannot". The positive atmosphere in their work space encourages the others also to work well.

Strong Work Ethic
Ethics is very important in terms of an employee. They must be hard working and that is what any employee will look forward to. The employee must finish his job and then move to the other one rather than being just enthusiastic and keep jumping from one work to the other without completing any of them.

Motivate and Initiate
The majority of employees just indulge in the on time work finish it and when it is time to go they leave. There is no use for the company as well as himself with such a behavior. Initiative must be taken and also motivate the others to do the works or even take the leadership and guide others. The employee himself should approach his upper level and ask for the other jobs rather than to wait and do what they just ask to do. He must also find creative solutions.

Reliability
The skills, talents and the behavior of the employee must make the employer believe that the employee is reliable and can be trusted for any work. Reliability not only refers to the honesty of the person but also the ability to finish a work in time.

Great Communication Skills
Communication skill is a major factor in terms of getting employed. The employee must know how to communicate with his colleagues and also his employers or the upper level of the organization. He must have the basics to understand and interpret what his employer informs or the work that he is given.

Positive Attitude
A good employee must always have a positive attitude and should always believe in "can do" for everything. If something goes wrong he should not be broken and should come back with the same attitude he had while doing the same work first time.

Honesty and Integrity
The employee must be honest and should not cheat, steal or betray his employer or even his colleagues. If an employee gets his wages for a full day he must have given the output for the full day. The personal phone calls can be avoided during work time and also the usage of the company phones for personal use should not be there.

Punctuality
On time to work and finishing a work in time refers to the punctuality. The employee must inform his superior if in case it will get late and should not take advantage of it.

Flexibility and Adaptability
The employee must be easy going with the others. People are always different from each other and it is not possible for everyone to be the same thus the employee must be easily flexible with the others. They must also get adapted with the surroundings to work properly.

Interpersonal Skills
The employee must always possess good interpersonal skills. He must have a neat physical appearance like properly pressed shirts and a neatly combed hair. He must also have a proper slang of his language.

Team Work Skills
The employee must be able to adapt for the team works and work efficiently with his team. He must be able to attain the company's goal working together as a team.

Loyalty
The employee must never let down his workplace to others. He must not talk bad about his own workplace. The confidential matters of the company must not be discussed with unknown and unauthorized people.

Top Ten Strategies For Becoming Uncommonly Successful

By Stacey Mayo

Job Vacancy Indonesia, Employee, Vacancy    

Here are 10 of 26 proven strategies gleaned from interviews with highly successful people who have overcome obstacles to accomplish such feats at climbing Mt. Everest, winning a Grammy, becoming a multi-millionaire, becoming an established author and humorist, a professional pitcher in the Major Leagues, an internet entrepreneur who earns millions and more. Regardless of your career or industry, when applied, these success principles can shorten your learning curve and be a catalyst for your success.

These principles were excerpted from the book, "I Can't Believe I Get Paid To Do This!" Remarkable People Reveal 26 Proven Strategies For Making Your Dreams a Reality by Stacey Mayo

1. Create Wealth in Alignment With Your Passions

It is important to focus on what you are passionate about first and then find a way to make money at it. Get in touch with your heart first, otherwise, the left side of your brain will rule out perfectly good ideas without having explored them.

"Money allows us the freedom to pursue the things that are important to us. Money is not an end it itself."
Stacy Allison, first American woman to successfully climb Mt. Everest

2. Honor Numero Uno: Design Your Life Around Your Priorities

Many people try to fit their dreams into their life and complain there are not enough hours in the day to make it happen. If you want your dream to become a reality, make it a priority. Otherwise, it will never be more than a pipedream.

3. Visualize Every Step of Your Dream and Watch the Magic Unfold

The muscle movement that helps us physically take action in our lives begins in the mind. That is why all great golfers, tennis players, basketball players, etc. visualize themselves making a shot beforehand. An experiment conducted by Alan Richardson, an Australian psychologist, found 23% performance improvement among subjects who visualized every day for 20 days. In his paper published in Research Quarterly, Richardson wrote that the most effective visualization occurs when the visualizer feels and sees what he is doing.

"I really visualized it, too, even as a child watching those programs. I could visualize myself walking up the stage, up the stairs. For me, visualizing those dreams happening was pertinent to making that happen, because I could see it. I pictured it in my head"
Mary Youngblood, welfare mom turned Grammy Award Winner

4. Easy Does It: Inspired Action Always Trumps Forced Action

Inspired action is joyful action that is in alignment with your dream. It is action you want to take and the idea of it brings a smile to your face. When you take inspired action, you are aligned with what you are doing and things flow naturally.

Contrast this to action that you are forcing yourself to take regardless of whether you feel like doing it. Maybe you are in a bad mood or have a headache but decide you have to take this action and keep trudging forward. The likelihood is that if you take action from this place it will take you twice as long to accomplish your task or goal or there will be obstacles that come up along the way. It's like swimming against strong currents.

5. Laser in On One Idea, Business or Income Stream at a Time

One of the mistakes people make is diversifying too quickly. This is true whether you are trying to build multiple streams of income or are just working on several different ideas at one time. The key is getting the first stream or idea up and running, producing good revenue, and having systems in place so it will keep running without you before going on to the next unrelated stream.

"Several things going on at one time is a distraction to cash."
Loral Langemeier, single mom, financial literacy coach and millionaire

6. Strengthen Your Relationships: Your Financial Independence is Dependent on Your Connections With Others

Many people think of the day when they will be financially independent as "freedom day." And, while financial independence is a worthwhile goal, it does not mean that you are free of your dependence on other people. As a matter of fact, in order to create financial independence, you just might need a lot more people in your life than you have right now.

7. Develop Your Resilience Muscle: Bounce Back From Setbacks

The truth is that you will have setbacks along the way. This is just inevitable. The sooner you accept that, the better. Many of these setbacks will take the form of circumstances that come up and block your way. If you look closely, you may find these setbacks are directly correlated with your innermost thoughts, fears, and limiting beliefs. This is because we create what we focus on including those things we don't want.

Don't get stopped by these bumps in the road; learn from them. As you work through the setbacks that come up, you will become the person you need to be to live out your dreams.

8. Streamline Your Efforts; Align Your Natural Talents With Your Goal

Success comes easier and more quickly when you enhance your strengths and delegate in areas where you are weak. Your natural talents are those things you do so easily and naturally that you think they are no big deal. Many of my clients were overlooking their natural talents when they first came to me. They thought if it is this easy for them, it must be this easy for everyone. This is rarely the case.

The key is to take your natural talents and abilities and strengthen them through education and experience. You are not born an expert at anything. It is something you develop.

9. Disarm That Sneaky Inner Saboteur

Even when we know what we need to do, we often don't do it out of fear of experiencing the emotions and other things that may come up as a result. Fear of failure and fear of success are the two biggest internal fears that people often face. Most other fears such as fear of rejection fall underneath one of these major categories. As human beings, we will go to great lengths to avoid our fears. That is why so many ideas never get beyond being a great idea, or projects are started and never finished. It is easy to find reasons, excuses, other diversions or projects, create chaos, and sometimes to even create emergencies to avoid these negative feelings or outcomes.

One of the most important things you can do is allow it to be okay to have these feelings. Then step back and notice what it is you do to get in your own way. When you have identified what you do, you can make a conscious decision to do it differently.

10. Shorten Your Learning Curve by Learning From The Best

You can learn from the people who are barely getting by, from those who are doing fairly well or from those at the top of the heap. Talk to people who are already successful and find out how they did it. That's what the book, "I Can't Believe I Get Paid To Do This!" is about. Its purpose is to provide success principles and philosophies from those who have excelled. They've already been down the road and you can learn from their experience. Why reinvent the wheel when someone else already did a great job of creating it?

Data entry jobs are among the most profitable jobs in today’s IT world. There are thousands of employers seeking for data entry clerks of different proficiencies and specialties. You can find millions of data entry jobs posted on internet at various websites. Most of these jobs are posted at freelance websites because new and novice people are always ready to do these jobs. If you are also on a freelance website searching for a data entry job, you should start with a low bid so that the employer can readily hire you for the job. Moreover, once your work is approved and appreciated, you can get truly long term projects only from a single client. And, if you have more than one client, you can forward the work of other clients to other reliable data entry clerks hence opening up your own small home based business. But this will take the things a little bit different and you will need to be something more responsible than just a freelancer.

If you are a novice on internet and seeking for data entry job, then you should understand that there are a number of blacklisted companies in the market ready to steal your money. These companies promise to give you relaxed deadlines work with huge earning potential. But they ask for a sign up or membership fee to register. This fee is never returned to you neither you are provided with the work to make money out of it. Hence, you end up with an empty pocket. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to have a market research of the employer before you start working with it. Many fake and scam data entry employers have very well designed websites hence attracting people. But these websites are discussed in bad words in forums and blogs. You should be a part of these forums and blogs so that you can also share your ideas, experiences and knowledge to help other novices.

Responsibility is of immense important for a data entry job. It is not only a tip to be extraordinarily responsible but also very necessary to have long term success with the employer. If you are a part time student and want to make money out of your spare time, then you should make sure that you will be able to give proper and regular time to the work. Responsibility is a very important factor which will help you in having long term relationships with the employer. Imagine yourself delivering late and degraded work to the employer. Obviously you will not be receiving any other large orders. And, in case of data entry jobs, the work is either true or false. There’s nothing of less quality. That’s why a greater responsibility, concentration and determination are required to give to work. Try to proceed with higher bids for reputed clients and gradually build a market reputation. It’s completely up to you to build your business standing in your online community. Your reviews and comments and ratings will be representing your services and skill level. So be careful, be learned and be determined.

Job Tips: Finding a Job When You’re Over 50 – Melding the Old With the New

www.employmentmag.com

If you’re over 50 and currently looking for a job in this time of economic downturn, then you’ve probably already either experienced, or heard about, how difficult it is to even get an employer to look at your resume due to your age. It’s almost becoming a cliche – employers don’t seem to want to hire older workers.

This is unfortunate, because older workers have years of on-the-job experience and can really contribute a lot to a company that needs to improve a certain area of their operation. The fact is, there’s now a glut of people looking for a job over 50 years of age. So, if you’re in that category, you’re competing with thousands of others for slim pickings.

In the future, more jobs will be created as the U.S. slowly moves its way out of the current age of confusion and job cutting. It may not seem like it now, but there will come a day when all ages of workers will be welcomed back into the workforce. However, right now, the country is still reeling from the shock of economic meltdown and the immense shedding of jobs that will never return.

But, of course, you already know this. You’re sitting there wondering how are you going to pay your bills and feed yourself and your family in the here and now. Let me just say, that the last thing you should do is become despondent and give up. Instead, accept the fact that your job search is going to be a challenging one, and you’ll need to be aggressive in finding opportunities to earn a living.

What Can You Do for the Employer Now?

At this stage in life, you’ve maybe gone through multiple jobs and done a multitude of different job tasks. That’s to be expected, but that’s all water under the bridge. When you are working on your resume, don’t give employers a litany of things you’ve done over the past 20 years. Instead, keep things current by telling them actions you took in your last position that helped your previous employer increase efficiency, get more customers or make money.

Employers want to hire employees that can be effective for their bottom line. So, you need to know what your more recent experience can do for a future employer. If you’ve had some recent career training classes, this will also help in making you look like you’re someone who is employable in this day and age, as well as, bring real value to the table.

Are You on the Social Networking Bandwagon?

These days, you not only want to use traditional means to conduct a job search, but you should also be plugged into the current online networking community. There are several popular networking sites where 50 something folks are welcome to join. In fact, being included in an online social network means you’re more likely to find those hidden job openings that are just right for your particular skills.

You can also start your own social network group or create your own blog around a certain topic. This activity keeps you current and shows employers that you’re on the ball with the whole web 2.0 trend.

Get in Shape and Spruce Up Your Look

While there’s no way you’ll be able to hide your age, you can do things that will make you appear younger than you are. Start paying attention to your personal health and do things to get your energy level up. If you’re feeling slouchy and slumpy, this will come across to potential employers, and they won’t even be interested in talking to you.

To quickly get your energy going, start exercising regularly and improve your eating habits. Also, be sure to get plenty of rest. You want to still feel youthful and invigorated so that you can show employers that you may have more years, but you’re just as ready to get the job done as any 20-something.

Update your wardrobe so that you look fresh and current. Also, if you’ve been wearing the same hairstyle for ten or more years, it’s time to get something new. If you’re a guy who has a comb over, or is significantly balding, consider shaving your head clean for a more modern look.

Adjust Your Attitude

This isn’t the time to be a wallflower or bitter about your circumstances. Remember, you’re constantly putting out energy to the universe. If your energy is negative, you’ll get back negative things. If it’s positive, then the sky’s the limit. Yes, getting a job over 50 years of age isn’t easy, but if you stay positive and visualize yourself working at your new job, then one day very soon, you may be enjoying a new work experience, and a new chapter in your professional life.

Ways to Make Your Online Executive Brand Come Alive

www.employmentmag.com

As you probably already know, creating an executive brand that flourishes online is just as important as developing your brand in the offline world. More and more recruiters are making their way to the Internet to find their next great talent – and of course, being that talent, you want to make sure that they find you in the easiest way possible. Here are some ways to get this done…

Get LinkedIn ASAP

Signing up for a LinkedIn account is a fantastic way to ensure that professionals you do and don’t know find you online. Creating a profile allows you to list your resume and other branding information, which then allows you to expand your networking horizon in a very short period of time.

What’s also great is that you can connect with old and new acquaintances, some of which may be able to give you a great lead on a new position. When employers are conducting their online checks on potential candidates, your LinkedIn page – which also incorporates the ability to allow your professional acquaintances to recommend you for future work – can give them immediate insight into who you are and why they should hire you.

Make a Twitter Resume

Since everyone who’s anyone is on Twitter, it’s a great idea to set up your own professional page on the site. But you may be wondering how you could accomplish anything on a site that only allows you to post 140 characters at a time.

Well, the answer is actually quite simple. Many professionals have found that even with the small amount of space to post, they can post a link to their LinkedIn page, Facebook profile or other professional site by creating a tiny url and the correct hashtags (ex. #executives) that link people to their profiles.

Start a Blog

Creating your own professional blog is taking a huge – and very beneficial – step toward nurturing your executive brand. A blog allows you to not only draw attention to yourself as an executive, but also share your expertise with the world. Most executives start a blog to share their personal and insights as a high-level professional in their industry. You could do the same to build your online executive brand.

Don’t Forget Your Google Profile

It’s also important at the executive level to create and develop a Google profile. The profile is similar to a Facebook profile in that it is not necessarily designated for a professional person. However, it’s a great resource for those who want to direct Google traffic to specific professional information.

The Google profile allows you to list your resume, links to your blogs and any other sites you want post. But even more important is that when someone searches your name in Google, the profile should be the first search item that the search engine pulls up. This helps to direct traffic to you in a professional manner rather than allowing recruiters or prospective employers to dig and run into the wrong information.

There’s no doubt that an online executive profile is very important in this day and age. So if you want to get noticed by companies, it’s a good idea to make your online executive brand come to life.

Career Prospects For a Nurse Practitioner

www.employmentmag.com

A career in nursing will be the most satisfying and challenging one in more than one aspect. The nursing profession provides innumerable opportunities for specialization in any one area of healthcare, which will not only be satisfying to a nursing professional to give his or her best, but also highly remunerative.

The ever-increasing need for specialized care and assistance in every field of medical diagnosis has opened the doors for specialization in specific areas. Now we have nurses in hospitals for different department and specialized courses for each type. For example, we have oncology nurse, cardiovascular nurse, travel nurse, military nurse, surgical nurse and such other things.

One of the many options available in nursing profession is that of becoming a Nursing Practitioner. A career as a Nurse Practitioner makes you look beyond nursing and entitles you to claim to be a quasi-qualified doctor. Before dwelling more on the qualifications and prospects about a career as Nurse Practitioner, let us discuss the responsibilities of a nurse practitioner.

Contrary to the role of a registered nurse who acts on the direction of a physician, a nurse practitioner is entitled to handle a large number of issues related to healthcare. They are entitled to provide treatment to minor injuries, and other common health related issues. In fact, nursing practitioners offer an opportunity to get relative cheaper treatment from them, instead of visiting a specialist doctor even for minor ailments.

The common things that a nurse practitioner is entitled to do without the intervention of a physician include the following tasks:

- Nursing Practitioner can perform physical examination of health condition, record patient’s history and also prescribe laboratory tests

- Nursing Practitioner is entitled to provide prescriptions and also coordinate referrals

- A nursing practitioner can execute certain medical procedures such as lumbar puncture, even in the absence of a doctor

- A nursing practitioner is entitled to provide pre-natal care as well as family planning services, and such other related services, basically, without the need to seek the advice of a qualified doctor.

Requirements of a Nurse Practitioner

To become a Nurse Practitioner, one needs to have acquired some qualifications. He or she should be a registered nurse. In other words, the nurse should have the completed either a) a 4-year degree course on nursing and get the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) certificate., or b) completed the Associate Degree in Nursing, or have taken up diploma courses conducted by many hospitals.

After the basic graduation degree and license as a Registered Nurse, one needs to take up Masters Degree for Nursing and complete it to become a Nurse Practitioner. In other words, the minimum academic qualification for a Nurse Practitioner is a Master’s Degree of Science in Nursing.

In addition to master’s degree, a registered nurse should have experience in clinical training to practice. Then he or she can obtain a license from the appropriate authority to work as Nurse Practitioner and carry out the duties and responsibilities.

The demand for nurse practitioners is on the rise with increasing specialized patient care facilities. Thus, it is worth exploring the option of becoming a Nurse Practitioner.

Here’s Your Sign! Increase Teacher Productivity With Signs

www.employmentmag.com

Being productive sometimes requires that you announce to others or even give yourself a reminder of what you are trying to accomplish. Handy signs can actually be a big benefit to you as an educator, and can help to enhance your productivity level. Making your own signs is fun and easy – and you’ll see from the ideas below how simple signs can be useful in keeping you “on task” and helping others stay focused as well. You can make signs on plain paper with a marker, or you can use sticky notes for small signs on your computer monitor.

Remind yourself of what you are doing and why you are doing it. For example, a simple sign that reads, “If I Died Right Now, Would This Task Matter?” or “What Should I Really Be Doing Right Now?” may help you focus on your priorities and determine what really matters on your to-do list. If you have a particular task that you need to complete but are afraid that you might overlook it amid the chaos of the day, make a sign for it. For instance, “Grade Papers to Return Tomorrow”. Tape the simple handwritten sign that is reminding you of what you are doing in a very visible (to you) area.

Use handmade signs to remind you of what your focus for the day needs to be – but don’t overlook your longer term “focus” as well. For example, if you have a particular goal for your future, keeping a hanging reminder of it can help you stay on the right track and perhaps see things in the “bigger scheme”, such as “Master’s Degree within the Next Five Years”.

Add humorous reminders that may make you smile (and think). If you have been looking to get rid of “junk” from the classroom, for example, you might choose a sign like “Postponed Decisions Are the Equivalent of Clutter”. Inspire yourself with handmade signs like “Breathe” or “Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff”. Want to stop a bad habit? Remind yourself of it with a sign that does just that, such as “Stop Biting Your Nails” or hang a sign beside your phone that reads “Do Not Interrupt Others While Talking”.

Use signs to tell other people what you need them to do or want them to do. For example, if you place a stack of books in the teacher’s lounge that you no longer want, place a sign on them that say “Free to Good Home – Take Them All”. This will keep you from being interrupted by people asking you why your books are stacked in the teacher’s lounge.

Keep people from disturbing you with a “Do Not Disturb” sign that tells them why you wish not to be disturbed, such as “Please Do Not Disturb – Planning” or so on. You can accomplish so much more if you don’t allow for interruptions – and don’t allow interruptions to occur in the first place. Don’t worry, other educators will know just where you are coming from and probably applaud your gutsiness in demanding not to be disturbed!
