Numerous people have lost their jobs. A person can’t help but think that flashy and outrageous is the way to get noticed. There are several ways for you to hunt a job, or either way let the job find you.

Start a blog

Find a subject you’re knowledgeable about and start writing. Compose articles that illustrate your command of the topic and that can serve as resources for someone. Over time you’ll accumulate an impressive collection of work, says Lauren Milligan of ResuMAYDAY, a company that helps job seekers craft résumés.

Blogs like this will attract a lot of readers; just keep it concise and honest.

Facebook
Even though social networking isn’t the technology fledgling it once was, it’s still new on the scene in terms of job seeking. We hear about people who get caught lying on their Facebook profiles, but people are getting hired via networking sites, too. You can use your education and work history fields to create a new form of résumé. Search your friends list for valuable contacts or join professional networks that can help you find a job or at least get the word out that you’re looking.

Twitter
On Twitter, which is a different kind of networking site, you can leverage contacts in the same way, only you can Tweet about your job hunt and people can stumble upon your profile more easily.

Those are just some easy steps to keep companies to check you out. Don’t forget that people will appreciate you for your honesty and determination.

Ways to Amaze Your Boss

Published by gracelim in Around the Network, Blog Jobs, Jobs and Careers on October 30th, 2011 | No Comments »

There are certain things you need to consider when dealing with your boss. They could fire you or promote you just by the way you handle them or how you perfom in you work. Yahoo had some amazing advices to give away to keep us from loosing our jobs.

Be honest. Everyone makes mistakes — and you’re no exception. Be forthcoming about it from the start. “Admit if you do something wrong, and then ask your boss how you can rectify the situation. Don’t allow yourself to get caught in a maze of lies or excuses that will result in a loss of credibility,” she advises.

Be respectful of the boss’s time. If you think your plate is full, consider that of your boss. Use your time together wisely and efficiently. Levit suggests, “Appear in her office with a checklist of things you need to cover, and don’t dwell too long on any particular subject. Your boss will be more receptive to meeting with you if she knows you’ll be in and out of his office quickly.”

Be a “can-do” employee. Redefine the concept of a “yes man” (or “yes woman”) at the office. She advises, “When your boss asks you to do something, accommodate him, if possible. The words ‘I don’t have time’ should never escape your lips. If you know something needs to be done, do it without being prodded, and if your boss asks for help in a group setting, be the first to volunteer.”

Apart from all this, your goof to go.

Avoid Scams

Ever since I started learning to appreciate books, I have always considered my self to be a writer. Well not really the writer type who sells award wining books. I just found my passion in writing. Little did I realize that not only does it enable me to practice my skills but blogging allows me to earn money. I used to spend hours at the internet looking for home based jobs. Some were scams, some dint make sense. One of the things to look at when finding home based jobs is their background. Later on, I discovered one promising site that opened so many doors for me for blogging.

There are several tips to take on before trusting some SEO sites.

Check References

Whether you want to have your home painted, rent a vacation villa, or have your website optimized, it makes sense to ask others about the services they use and what their experience has been. Ask the SEO company for references which will include sites they have optimized, and the keywords they have optimized those sites for. Follow up the references by contacting the site owners and ask them if their SEO company has provided the results they promised. You don’t know whether the sites provided for reference are owned by friends of the SEO providers, so search for the company name in a search engine and see if they are mentioned in forums etc. A little research at this point can save a lot of heartache later on.

Make them Work

Verify what keywords the SEO company will optimize your site for. Any company will be able to have your website achieve a top ten ranking for ‘hairdresser in myverysmalltown’, but they’ll have to actually work (and be good at it) to achieve a similar ranking for ‘business’ or ‘US loans’, Their guarantee will be useless if they are based on optimizing for keywords that have little or no competition.

Don’t believe an SEO company has a special relationship with Google, or special openings into other search engines, no matter what they say. Search engines guard their objectivity jealously, and would not want to lose their reputation by promoting your site unfairly. If the Search Engine Optimization company promises you special treatment, stay away from them.

Achieving and maintaining good ranking positions in search engine results takes continued time and effort. It is not a once-only exercise that can be charged for, and then forgotten about. Search engines promote sites which show evidence of long term continued development and organic growth. A site that makes a big impact and then sits unattended will not have a long term future.

There are some of the things I learned from blogging fingers. They allow you to learn more about SEO and blogging. Always remember that NOT all blogging are scams. Most of them allow people to learn more.

New Work at Home Options for Moms Affected by Economy

Published by Damien in Blog Jobs, Blogger Jobs, Career, Telecommute Jobs on September 30th, 2011 | No Comments »

With today’s uncertain economic climate, moms across the country are seeking ways to offset the economic downturn with flexible work options. From starting their own home businesses to freelancing and telecommuting, thousands of moms — many of whom are highly educated and experienced — are jumping back into the workforce and choosing to work at home.

These moms now have a new ally and free resources to help them start and market their home businesses. Home Based Working Moms (HBWM) is a professional association and online community of parents who work at home and those who would like to. HBWM.com’s new interactive website provides a variety of tools and resources to help moms network, learn and grow in their role as a home-based working mom, including free business profiles, member directory and networking opportunities.

“We are seeing a stronger interest from moms wanting to work from home. Many of them are trying to offset lower salaries and/or higher household expenses. Others are seeking to help their family through a layoff or potential layoff. And starting a home business makes sense, as many of these moms can take their past experience or career and begin freelancing from home or start a home business. Our website aims to give them ideas, support, tools and connections to help their businesses flourish,” Lesley Spencer Pyle, HBWM Founder and President says.

The website features interactive profiles allowing members to post their profiles and business information for free. In addition, they can learn from other moms what has worked and what has not in regards to types of businesses, marketing approaches and even parenting challenges.

“I’ve just started my online business and thanks to HBWM, I have received so much help and support from other moms — it’s just overwhelming,” Marcolina Gonzalez, owner of Payless Home Decor & Gifts says.

Pyle is the author of The Work-at-Home Workbook: Your Step-by-Step Guide on Selecting and Starting the Perfect Home Business for You, a columnist with Entrepreneur.com and is also featured on DrPhil.com. She lives in Houston with her husband and four children.
