I am currently unhappy where I am currently employed and I wish to find another job.
The only problem is, I do not really have one particular thing that I want to do. Of course, education is a big factor, and I have only attended some college.
I am a very artistically talented and intelligent individual. I can write, paint, draw, take photographs, and I have tons of work experience, but I don’t know what field my resume’ should be geared towards. In any job I have had I could accomplish any task that was put in front of me, but I am having trouble specifying what to put in my resume that will capitalize on these things.
Right now I am a technical writer, but I only have 5 months technical writing experience, and a lot of resume’ websites want specifics on job field. Any advice on what I should do to brush up my resume’ with the talents I have?

If you have been looking for a job on websites which are known to provide good references between employers and employees then you have definitively seen some job positions which sound more like advertisements, they often promise compensation which is hard to believe and have no direct phone contact, instead they redirect you to a sign up page or to a sales page which is 14 miles long.

The reason you see these “fake jobs” at job hunting sites is because they work very well with the prospects who visit these sites who are genuinely interested in a good career opportunity. Recently there has been an increase in “business opportunities” at these sites which promise to make you this much money in almost no time. This is often a red flag which should tell you this particular “job” is not real and you should stay away from it.’

I had a recent experience with a friend who told me there was a great business opportunity at a job oriented website which involved making money with rebates. My friend was really excited about the idea because the website which had a huge sales letter promised people they would make a six figure income within their first year, and when you are looking for a job such flashy claims can turn things in your head upside down. The fact is that the idea is legit, but the website wanted to charge people about $200 dollars for extra advice in order to receive specific information about the business/career.

On top of that, it also had an SSL (hot linked) logo which indicated the site was secure and a 100% money back guarantee. There is a problem with all of these claims which are placed on such sites to claim they are legitimate businesses, when it comes to money back guarantees you need to make sure you can get a hold of the people you are dealing with, this site had no contact information other than an email address which is also a red flag.

Real jobs do not charge you an up front fee in order to disclose information which will help you perform your duties, nor real businesses. If you are in between jobs and are seriously considering starting your own business then it is imperative that you do a complete research about the business you are trying to start, make a good business plan and don’t let other people fool you with false promises and guarantees. Good working businesses are not sold cheap, so it is obvious that if someone knows of a business which makes them money they will not want to create competition for their own which is another indication that the business idea you are being sold on doesn’t work or may not be legitimate.

chinno98 asked:


I have been unemployed for about 5 months, and people constantly ask how it’s going and if I have found anything. I know they are probably just trying to have a conversation, but it really bugs me that I have to keep saying no job yet, I’m still a failure… I kind of want to say it ***** but thanks for reminding me.

Even my husband bickers about it, and I told him it bugs me and makes me feel bad but he and all the family/friends keep mentioning it. Should I say I got a job just to shut them up? Would you be offended? I would think if I had one, I would tell them and they shouldn’t be asking!

We are known for what we do rather than what we are. This is an unfortunate reality but one has to accept it. Getting a job is not that simple, but before that the most important thing is knowing what sort of job you are capable of doing and want to do.

First up, consider and revise the goals you have set for yourself. If you don’t have any then make some. Be sure about what you want to achieve and only then can you pursue it. When considering what type of job you want, think about your weaknesses and strengths and then look for a job that suits you best.

The next step is to make a list of all the companies/organizations that you want to apply to. Having done that, it is time to write and send them your resume. Writing an impressive and honest resume is important. Leave out any information you feel would give them a wrong impression if that is possible and focus on highlighting your achievements and positive aspects of your academic and extra curricular activities.

Do some research on these companies and find out on what basis they tend to hire their employees. Find someone recently employed if possible and inquire about the type of questions they can possibly ask. Prepare yourself for the interview and be confident. If your academic results are not good enough, show them that they do not reflect what you are capable of. Companies usually tend to employ people who are confident, show good management skills and are acute learners, rather than based on their academic records.

When you appear for your interview, keep in mind you are about to become a professional, so start acting like one. Dress properly in a business suit and stay upright. Show them you are confident and that you were made for this job. While expressing your point of view on some question they might ask, hold back your biases for a while and make them hear what they want to hear. If you are asked about your future plans and goals, be realistic when you answer.

The amount of competition in this world keeps growing and getting a job becomes more and more challenging. You might fail in your first few interviews but eventually you will find a good job that suits you. Keep trying, because giving up or accepting defeat will be the beginning of a troublesome and worthless life.

Job hunting doesn’t have to be a pain. Be prepared, look in the right places, and maximize your search. Here are a few tips for your job hunt.

Check your local newspaper for jobs. This can be a tedious task especially when you can search for jobs online. The only reason to search for jobs in your local newspaper is when you don’t have access to a computer. You can read a newspaper anywhere like in line at the grocery store, while you’re having lunch or riding the bus. Sometimes you can find a job in the paper that you didn’t see online. It can’t hurt to give it a peek.

The best way to job hunt is online. Hunting for jobs online is the easiest way to look through job ads. These websites have time-saving features you can utilize in your search. One great feature is the keyword search. You can type in a certain phrase or job title and you’ll receive a list of results that match your search.

Within this search you can sort the job ads by date so that you see the recently posted job ads instead ads that have been out for two weeks or more. You can forget about those jobs. Employers have either hired someone by that time or at least received dozens and dozens of resumes that will take weeks to weed through. If they still can’t find someone the employer will repost the job anyway. Don’t waste your time with old posts. The trick is to apply to a new posting as early as possible, preferably the same day.

Anther way to search job web sites is by location or zip code. This allows you to really set the area that you wish to work. No point in looking at a position that’s two hours away unless you’re heart is set on that particular company.

Once you’ve located the jobs you want, the next step is to send out your resume. You should already have your resume done before you search for jobs. You can’t be the first to email or fax your resume if you still have to take a day to polish it. Your resume should be ready to go so that you can make minor changes quickly in order to tailor your resume to a particular position.

Most companies will ask you to email your resume. Be sure to have your resume in a file that can be opened by most programs. A Word file is a good option. Pay attention to the job ad. Does it ask you not to send your resume as an attachment? Many companies don’t like to open attachments because of computer viruses. If you see this warning, copy and paste your resume into the body of your email. Email it to yourself first so you can see what it looks like. Change any fonts or bullet points if it doesn’t show well in email format.

Whether you use the newspaper or the Internet, job searching doesn’t have to be a pain. The trick is to be prepared to send out your resume at a moment’s notice. Soon you’ll have the job you’re looking for.
