Chicken Soup for Job Seekers

Do you want to change your job but don't know the right way to go about it? Are you vacillating between waiting for your dream job or accepting the first one that comes your way? Or are you a fresher falling in line with what your parents wish you to be rather than what you wish to be? If this is the kind of situation you find yourself in, then the next few minutes will help you get a clearer picture. Here is our bowl of chicken soup for the job seeker's soul. Read on...


Searching for a job today is almost a job in itself because you are spending so much of your time and effort on it. Enthusiasm, excitement, anxiety, frustration and depression-all these are phases one encounters during a job search. The key point is to take this phase positively and persevere till you get that pot of gold at the end of your job search rainbow- your dream job. In today's cut-throat working environment, looking for a job is not just about working hard but about working Smart.


So to stay ahead of the herd, here are a few tips from the team of Naukri.com, India's No.1 Job portal-


1) Set your priorities right -Don't take a decision by simply imitating your friends, batch mates or depending on word of mouth. Be aware of what is really important to you and what is not, because once your priorities are set, things will automatically start falling into their place.


2) Resume writing - Employers are busy people and they hardly spend more than 30-45 seconds on a resume when they have 500 more to scan through. They are not interested in your entire history as they just want to know what you are best at. So, make your resume to the point and clearly showcase your key skills. In fact some recruiters prefer only single page resumes.


Try out the Resume Services provided by our counselors at Naukri.com.


3) Self-marketing is the key - When you are applying for jobs you are actually selling yourself. So, sound confident, positive and persuasive during an interview, but DO NOT exaggerate about your accomplishments.


4) Knowledge of your field - It is very important to know your field thoroughly. Brush up your knowledge on the who's who of the field, current trends, the competition, the dos and the don'ts and so on. Keep yourself abreast with the latest developments by keeping your eyes and ears open.


5) Tools of Job search - you could begin your job search by scanning newspaper classifieds, talking to job consultants and logging on to premier job websites. Be regular in your search, spend ample time on it and follow-up with the companies where you have applied.


For an internet job search and for Jobs in India you can log on to http://www.naukri.com and check out the vacancies available in your field of specialization.


6) Networking - It pays to know people in high places. Or in a job seeker's world "people in the right place". Networking is an important tool that can help you immensely during the job search. Track friends or contacts in the organization you want to be in, talk to them, and they might be able to open new doors for your dream job.


7) Have patience - 'Patience is a virtue'. Being desperate and anxious does not help much, rather it may spoil your job search. If it's your first step towards your career then think before taking each step. Don't feel inferior just because you are a fresher, after all you will be spending time, energy and intelligence on the firm that will hire you. Don't forget the fact that other employees cannot match the energy level of a fresher.


If you are already working somewhere then don't leave the job just because you are not happy. You're marketable because you are already working with a firm and have added work experience and value to your resume. So, wait for a while.

Maintaining Focus in Your Job Search

Unemployment has become rampant the world over. This has led to frustrations among the rising numbers of job seekers, thereby leading to unintelligent choices and decisions in relation to searching for jobs.

Fraudsters and con men have taken advantage on the situation and are luring unknowing individuals into parting with their hard-earned cash or savings. An employment seeker should be very sober and have a clear conscious when looking for a job, as con men are looking for any loopholes and opportunities to defraud the unemployed.

Frustration may lead one to choose on any job opportunity or vacancy that comes his or her way but this is very inappropriate. One should choose a career that he or she is comfortable with and not just any job due to frustration. A job is something that should be carried out with dedication and commitment and at the same time, one should be happy while working. If one chooses any job, doubts will definitely arise as regards to the commitment and happiness of the worker.

A job seeker should have a plan as to what he or she wants to do. The job seeker should make a number of considerations before taking up on a job opportunity. The following considerations could help in making the right decision.

1. What is the career line of the job seeker?

2. What are the requirements and qualifications needed for the available vacancy?

3. Would the available opportunity be enough to support the job seeker?

4. Is the job a permanent one or a short, part-time job?

5. Does the job have any incentives?

The above considerations are the major issues of concern that the job seeker should look at before making any major decision lest he or she regrets.

Construction Jobs Abroad - Overseas Jobs in the Middle East

It's true that the worldwide economic crisis has affected numerous industries, including construction, where companies in various countries have had to cut down on the number of employees they are hiring and retaining. However, certain areas of the world, particularly the Middle East, remain viable options for those who are looking for construction jobs abroad.

According to research undertaken by the Kuwait National Bank, ongoing and planned development projects in GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) countries -- i.e., the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia -- indicate that jobs will continue to be generated in the years to come. And while the recession has had a big impact on the construction, financial, and information technology industries in the UAE, the job market remains vibrant due to the value of those planned or ongoing projects.

In fact, according to the Kuwait National Bank's study, the aggregate value of those projects is approximately USD 2.1 trillion at the close of the second quarter of 2009. Moreover, the growth of development projects has been promising, at the rate of about 50 percent per annum.

Another promising study, this time conducted by Mercer, showed that approximately 73 percent of companies in the GCC region plan to increase their growth in 2009. One of the ways they aim to do this is by adding to their employee numbers. This "future" trend certainly seems to be true even now. Just browse through the web sites of international recruitment agencies and you will see plenty of job vacancies in the UAE and elsewhere in the GCC.

The region is a popular destination among top-notch expatriate workers in the building industry and other industries for many reasons: no income tax, the progressive yet culturally-rich environment, the diversity of people, etc. It can be an excellent career move for those seeking to work in construction jobs abroad

Jobs For Stay At Home Moms - Become Part of the Online Community

The hardest job in the world is being a stay-at-home mom. Many women make the difficult choice to forgo their hard-earned careers just so their children are not raised by nannies and daycares. But wouldn't it be a breath of fresh air to make your own money again, without having to give up that quality time with your kids? Thanks to the Internet, anything is possible.

There are many ways for moms to be a part of the workforce via the online community. The freedom is there to work when you want, so you can still drive your kids to soccer practice or make dinner while the baby naps. If you organize your time wisely, you can be the momtrepreneur you've always wanted to be through your home-based business.

Telecommuting. Blogging. Multi-Level Marketing (MLM). Responding to emails for online businesses. Advertising.

YouTubing. Generating traffic for affiliate marketers. Online mystery shopping. Representing direct sales. Freelance writing. The various online business ventures available for stay-at-home moms are endless. But, how do you know if you're choosing the right one?

Talk to people. The online community is more closely connected than it seems. For example, if you've decided you want to start a home-based business as a representative for a direct sales marketing company, start out by doing some research; if you're chosen company is legitimate, it will appear on search engines. The next step is to track down people who've had experiences with the same company; again, if the company is for real, you should be able to do so without a hitch.

Make sure the sign-up fee (if there is one) isn't too big. Anything exceeding one hundred dollars should be considered suspect. Granted, companies have to protect themselves by not giving away start-up packages to everyone out there, so a small fee may be justifiable. Nonetheless, go with your instinct - if it seems phony, it probably is.

Be prepared to kiss a few frogs. You probably didn't marry the first man you ever went on a date with. You likely didn't stick with the same job for your entire career. In other words, be prepared to try a couple different online ventures before you find the one that is right for you. Just be cautious in how much time you put into any particular venture until you feel confident about it.

Finally, be realistic. You won't make millions overnight - and if you think you will, get out now. Starting an online home-based business takes time and patience. You need to work diligently and set aside time each day to develop your business. Everything in life is work, and your online business is no exception to this rule.

If you keep the above steps in mind, you will likely see success in the world of online home-based businesses. If you work really hard at it, who knows? You just might be the one putting food on that kitchen table. Start your home-based business today.

To Your Success,

Is Fashion Your Passion? Make Fashion Your Career

Do you live and breathe fashion? Would a fashion career suit your style and aspirations?

For fashion enthusiasts, a fashion career can seem like a dream job; an opportunity to influence society and change the way a nation dresses for the day and evening. Read on to see which fashion career might be right for you.

Fashion careers are essentially of two types - those in fashion design and those in the sales and marketing side of the industry (fashion merchandising). You can further customize your fashion career by choosing to focus on a particular style or kind of garment.

Other fashion career opportunities include costume design for TV, film and theater productions; personal stylist positions with high-end department stores and private clients, fashion photography; and modeling work for everything from newspapers ads to strutting the catwalk in Milan or Paris.

But to turn your passion for fashion into a lucrative fashion career you need more than just the ideas and enthusiasm; you need technical and industry expertise to turn your creative energies into saleable apparel.

One thing fashion careers share, aside from being a rewarding outlet for your creative talents, is their starting point - fashion school. A fashion design education should prepare you for a fashion career, even if you find yourself working in a supporting role as you start out in the business.

Entering a fashion career begins with an innate ability to create unique and functional clothing styles and effectively communicate them on paper.

If you decide to study for a fashion career, you'll learn to design clothing and accessories or the fabrics and materials they're made of.

It is essential that anyone interested in a fashion career attend an accredited fashion schooling program that will address the fundamentals of fashion including design, drawing, textiles, sewing, and manufacturing. This fashion career education will be the core of your training on which you can lay the groundwork for experience.

Experience is ultimately the key when it comes to a fashion career.
Following school or even during it is imperative that you begin a fashion career with an internship or apprenticeship with an established design house. Building experience such as this can often jump start your fashion career and allow you to begin working on independent projects.

For those who have the ability, drive, and determination, a fashion career can be an amazing journey filled with success, self-satisfaction and great clothes. But dont let it ever be said that a fashion career does not require a significant amount of hard work and a vast amount of skill.

CONCLUSION

A fashion career can take many different forms, reflecting the various aspects of the fashion industry.
No matter what area or areas you're interested in, there is a fashion career specifically designed to suit your tastes.

To get your fashion career off the ground, it helps to decide at the outset which of the many fashion industry jobs you want to attain.

A starting point for your fashion career could be to study some of the articles about training and careers in fashion collected at the author's website. Your fashion career could be just a few mouse clicks away.

Free Resume Tips To Improve Your Chances

Free resume tip anyone? Struggling to write an effective resume is something that holds many people back in their search for career success and employment happiness. Luckily, it's not really that tough at all if you know how, so check out these 5 free resume tips to make your resume more effective!

Free Resume Tip 1-

Make sure your resume fits the bill. Far too many people just draw up a quick resume and submit the same thing to every vacancy they find. Needless to say, this is not usually too effective. Instead, rewrite it for every job you apply to, making sure all your stated skills and accomplishments match up with what the employer is looking for.

Free Resume Tip 2-

Show them what you can do for them. An employer is making a big investment in you when they take you on, and like anyone they want the biggest return on that investment. Show them what their returns will be by mentioning giving examples of your past achievements.

Free Resume Tip 3-

Don't mention your current/previous salaries unless they specifically ask for them. If you do mention detail like this, quite simply you may be putting an upward limit on your earnings, or even worse may price you out of the running completely. Leave stuff like this for when you get the interview, or better yet, for when you get the job offer, as only then do you have some real leverage.

Free Resume Tip 4-

Go for a simple style. The number one problem facing most job applicants is time-employers simply don't have time to give every application the time it may deserve, so you have to make it as easy as possible to read your resume. If you go for some outlandish or elaborate style with the hope of standing out, you will likely lose out because the employer will not make the effort to read it, and instead will move on to something simpler.

Free Resume Tip 5-

Try not to give too much work history. It's unlikely that every single position you have had is relevant to the one you are applying for, so try and cut it down to an easily digestible amount. In reality, most employers really won't care to know every single job you had since you left high school 25 years ago-with the time constraints faced by many businesses, it's simply not practice to go into every candidate's work history at such a depth.

As you can see, writing a resume is more about making the biggest impact you can in the least amount of time possible than it is about qualifications. Use these free resume tips to get ahead!

Resume Tips to Nail That Job Interview

Your resume is extremely important. Think about it. In the span of a few pages, you need to convey that YOU are worthy of at least being considered for that job vacancy. It really doesn't matter if you are applying for a manager job or an executive position, what's important is that the resume contents and resume layout fit the position at hand. Sadly, many ruin their chances at job success because they cannot format their resumes properly. Don't be one of them. Follow our resume tips and you'll get the chance you deserve.

Resume Tips to Help you Get that Job Interview Call

Before you go on your hunt for great job interview tips, you should first focus on writing a great resume. After all, the job interview will come IF your resume says you deserve it.

Resume Tip No. 1 - Different resume types require different resume formats.

Your resume is really your 'first impression' and just like any real, one-on-one interview, it's important that your resume conveys the right 'image'. For instance, an executive resume is best presented with a cover letter outlining the highlights of your career. For the succeeding pages, it's best to list your work experience in reverse chronological order (i.e., most recent first). For mid-level positions, a cover letter is not really required. For new graduates, it's best to start your resume with your educational attainment and any related 'on-the-job' training or seminars even if you are currently employed.

Apart from the above, you can't go wrong with using a clear, easy-to-read font like Times New Roman 10 pt or 12 pt. Also, assuming you send in your resume via email, use general Word processing software like Microsoft Word. Don't use the latest version as it may not yet be used by those handling recruitments, rending your resume un-openable and thus, useless.

Resume Tip No. 2 - Include a no B.S. executive summary.

Job recruiters get really annoyed when they're fed with Executive Summaries that are VAGUE. The Executive Summary must answer the question on why you are the best candidate for the job. The best resume layout for this would be to enumerate your skills in a bulleted list. Each skill should be written so that it clearly shows how that skill makes you a perfect fit for the job vacancy in particular, and the company in general.

Resume Tip No. 3 - Do NOT lie.

Who doesn't embellish his resume to get that job interview? That's true... but don't exaggerate to the point of lying either. For instance, you know that figures are great in resumes, but don't say "Managed a $50 million dollar publishing project..." if it you cannot back up that figure. Don't forget that job recruiters, especially for managerial and executive positions, really do check up with previous employers.

Resume Tip No. 4 - What about online resumes?

A great resume tip that doesn't cost anything at all is to view sample online resumes! There's a lot of information out there for different types of resumes with samples to boot so do give them a try. Apart from free samples, there are also ready-to-use online resume templates you can purchase where all you need to do is just 'fill out the blanks'. If you opt for this, just ensure that the template really fits your resume needs.

Resume Tip No. 5 - Hire a professional resume writer.

When all else fails, or if you don't have the time, or the job is simply too important that you want to go in with your BEST chance at landing a job interview, then by all means, get the services of a professional resume writer. Not everybody is blessed with having that special way with words so a professional CV writer can definitely help you. Note too that such a person can help you 'smooth out' some job history problems you may have such as employment gaps or 'job hopping' trends (i.e., moving from one job to another in relative short periods of time).

When it comes top writing resumes, you should always put your best foot forward so you get called for that job interview. Hopefully, the resume tips we've provided here helps you achieve exactly that.

Career Success For Women - The Foundation Question

Several studies point to the fact that men are more often motivated in their careers by high income and high power positions while women are motivated more often by connection, meaningful work and recognition. But in both cases, the road to success in most organizations means climbing the corporate ladder. And steps up the ladder are supported by rungs of leadership. You must be seen as a leader to move up.

While not easy, leadership is simple. As I write in No Ceiling, No Walls, it consists of a 3-part equation:

1. using your personal greatness/strengths to

2. achieve and sustain key outcomes by

3. engaging the greatness/strengths of others.

Our studies indicate that much of the advice that women have been given about leadership over-focuses on elements 1 and 3: identifying and cultivating their own strengths (74%) and developing the interpersonal skills to effectively engage others (24%). Advice about what it means to deliver key outcomes is sadly missing - only 2%.

This was not the case for Merrill Sherman, CEO of Bank RI who was advised early in her career, "Be for the business." This piece of wisdom is at the heart of the most important question a woman must ask and answer in order to build a successful career:

Do I/Can I believe in and support the mission, work and products/services of this company?

While a man who answers "no" might be motivated to succeed by the allure of higher power and compensation, if you answer "no" to this question, you are likely to find it difficult to wholeheartedly commit yourself to delivering key outcomes. Chances are good that you will be unable to engage your whole self at work. You are likely to burn out or be seen as retired-in-place. The chances of achieving your career goals will be lessened because you won't be seen as "being for the business."

If you answer "yes" to this question, it will be easy for you to engage your heart (passion), head (creativity and innovation) and hands (execution) to achieve and sustain key outcomes in service of your organization's strategy. You will substantially increase your chances of being seen as having potential. You will leave work each day feeling as though you've done something important - and that sense is the difference between distress that leaves you exhausted and eustress (positive stress) that energizes you.

So, look courageously in the mirror and ask yourself if you believe in the company you work for. If your honest answer is "no", create an action plan to move to a company in whose mission, work and products/services you can believe. If your honest answer is "yes", your work isn't over. Make sure that you are able to climb the ladder on rungs of leadership by ensuring that you get high marks on all 3 parts of the leadership and career success equation.
