Top Ten Job Searching Tips
How many of these have you read? Here we go again, but this time I am concentrating on those matters which have emerged over the last two to three years, that we often neglected or failed to use in the past; mainly it’s to do with new technology.

1. Get a professional email address.

Ditch the babyangel@gmail.com. Now is the time to professionalise yourself, use your proper name or professional name.

2. Google yourself.

Sounds egotistic doesn’t it? But just in case you wrote something many years ago, and it raises its head to bite you in the foot, it is better to check what is out there on you in cyber space. Also while we are at it, blog your email address, telephone number and address as well, all these can leave a digital footprint exposing yourself to other information .

3. Add your email address to your CV or resume.

How many times do I see this omission?

4. Start blogging.

This is a free way of getting yourself known and building your profile.

5. Register on online job sites.

There are many: seek.com, TradeMe/jobs.co.nz, and also check out your local newspaper online listings.

6. Use social networking sites to your advantage.

Make a special professional Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, Bebo etc account specifically to your work environment, keep your personal social networks to your friends.

7. Network.

Join societies, organisations and clubs associated to your career. Check out the Yellow Pages and online directories to see what is available, then network with these people.

8. Specialize – Become a Subject Matter Expert.

A sophisticated society has many specialist roles, therefore, the more specialised you are or can become, the more expertise you can provide, and more value to an employer’s team. But don’t forget to be a generalist in all areas connected with your career.

9. Lead from your strengths.

If you know what you are good at, or above average, or just brilliant at … then move from that area first. If you are good at public speaking then use that as your primary form of accentuating your strengths.

10. Mitigate your weaknesses.

Similar to number nine. Play down your weaknesses. Avoid (especially in those first couple of meetings) those things that you are not so good at, or generally don’t like doing.

Each day, we used the major search engines such as the Yahoo, Google, MSN, Ask and many others. We simply look for results of words like home based data entry, data entry jobs, data entry work online, data entry from home and a lot more. We do these things because we only want to know if there are jobs available and hoping also to land a true one on the list. The problem with the beginners is that they easily taken away advertisements that appear like frauds. Majority of these advertisements looks like real data entry but in the end, it is nothing more like an affiliate program such as the Pay per Click that is in disguise.

And what happens is that, people get frustrated and never to trust again easily. Why is there a need for a person to be landing in a fake program so that a lesson could be learned? If only they practice alertness from the start so that scams could be avoided. Now that they already paid their hard-earned money in joining the program, they have to continue doing it, so that they could bring their money back in any way possible. They are able to earn from this affiliate program but by commission basis only.

Majority of people does not want to do affiliate marketing but they are here to try the easy job of data entry jobs online. These jobs are easy to understand and to accomplish. This is a rare opportunity that could be done without leaving the house. Once you find one real job, do not let this chance to just slip away for there are lots out there ready to grab it.

We do some research on programs that really give what they promised in their ads and it did not take awhile and we finally found one. There are many others but we only found one that we are comfortable doing it. We found one that is a standout in the midst of numerous easy data entry. This one clearly states that there are no fees involve and was not an affiliate program in disguise.

There are numerous online jobs and it could be done in any place that is with an internet connection. You could decide the exact time you will be doing these jobs and decide also on the amount that you could accept as your assignment. Take time to look for a job that matches your skills and enjoy while doing it. Your motivation will be the extra cash you will be earning once you are into this. Always think of your dreams, work hard for it and never forget to extend your patience some more while you create an income from home.

These works could be a very rewarding experience but you have to work hard to attain it. The good news is that you are working without a supervisor. The more work you do, the more amount you could earn. At the beginning, do not expect to earn that much but it is worth the wait and the patience you put into it.

Targeted Resumes – How to Target Your Resume to the Job You Want

1. Determine what you are trying to accomplish.

Make sure you have a clear goal in mind. Hiring managers are too busy to try to figure out what you want to accomplish.

Writing a general, one-size fits all resume wont cut it in todays competitive job market. You have to make an effort to stand apart from everyone else.

If you dont know what you want to do, STOP and figure it out. You cannot create an awesome, knock-your-socks-off resume without a goal. If you are struggling with this, enlist the help of someone to brainstorm with you.

2. Find out the industry keywords that are “hot” in your career field and put them into your resume.

Why do this? Because more and more companies are using automated databases to store resumes. When they need to hire someone, they find potential candidates by utilizing key word phrases (sort of how you search on google using a keyword). If you are using the right keywords, your resume will be included in the top contenders.

You can find the keyword phrases by searching monster.com or hotjobs.com for the job you want to apply to. Read several postings from all regions of the county and look for the qualifications and duties.

For instance, I looked up “executive assistant” and found the following phrases that seemed to be repeating:

“Microsoft office proficient”
“Setting up appointments”
“travel arrangements”
“correspondence, presentations, and reports”
“Prepareedit executive PowerPoint presentations”
“arranging travel, scheduling meetings”
“prepare high quality presentations and reports”
“proficient to expert level of ability in the MS Office suite”

As you can see, there is emphasis on the MS Office programs, scheduling, and presentations. So you MUST include those words in your resume.

3. Always include a cover letter detailing the exact position you are interested in, where you saw the job listing, and why you are interested, not just that you are interested.

Doing this will automatically make you stand apart from everyone else and will make it clear to the hiring manager what you have to offer and what you are seeking.

Many newcomers to Information Technology get an overly-optimistic picture of the field from tech school ads that continually make note that “an average MCSE salary is 80.000 a year!”.

And if someone’s thinking of getting into IT and goes on the internet to do some research, they’re met with the opposite end of the spectrum – complaint after complaint about how much IT is a terrible field, you can’t break in, there’s no room for newcomers, etc.

As usual, the truth lies in the middle. As much as I love the IT field, I’ll be the first to say that it’s often hard to get that first job. Many tech schools have a job placement department, and that can be one big plus in their favor.

What if you don’t have that resource working for you? When you’re breaking into any field, IT or not, you must not make the classic mistake of sending a ton of resumes and waiting for the phone to ring. The odds are that it won’t.

You must get out and talk to people. The term “networking” doesn’t just refer to allowing computers to talk to each other; it also refers to people talking to each other. In your case, you’ve got to get out and meet people. Check the business section of your local newspaper. There will be dozens of networking meetings listed in there. It doesn’t matter that you aren’t in the field yet; go to these meetings and meet people. Initiative is never a bad thing.

And once you get that first job, make it count. Show up on time and do what you say you’ll do. If you don’t know something, dig into Google and find the answer or ask a more knowledgeable colleague. (Just doing these few basic things will put you way ahead of the pack.)

Getting started in IT is as tough as breaking into any other field. Having worked in a few different jobs in my life, though, I can tell you this: No other field in the world rewards individual drive, initiative, and achievement like Information Technology. The fact that you have to work so hard to get in will make your eventual and unstoppable success just that much sweeter.
