While some chills just with the idea of getting on to the process, it is just natural to feel daunted and nervous. However, no one gets hired without going through it. It is better to get prepared. The more prepared a candidate is, the more confident he will be.<br /><br />During the job hunting process, it is better to always keep a notepad. Employers call anytime of the day and give details for the interview. Keeping a track is better to help determine the availability when the employer wants a scheduled interview. Maintaining a composure is always looked up to. Professionalism must always be maintained when an employer calls to arrange an interview. Speaking clearly and thanking them are good points to consider.<br /><br />Once the interview is set, the first step is to have thorough research about the employer and the position applied for, highlighting the key points for one to be hired. Looking at possible resources could include the company’s website and brochures and any job descriptions they have provided, or even a “drive by” of the workplace.<br /><br />Thinking of the possible questions help prepare for possible answers. Mock interviews can be very helpful. Being more prepared means more confident. Although, being prepared does not mean sounding too rehearsed. It is better to sound comfortable, natural, friendly, clear and confident.<br /><br />Getting there would take much of the time when unaware. It is best to know the exact location to avoid getting there late. The ideal time would be arriving at the place ten or fifteen minutes ahead of the scheduled interview.<br /><br />Dressing appropriately for the interview gives the employer the idea of who the applicant is. A lousy dresser has less chances of getting hired. It is better to be presentable and professional rather than being casual.<br /><br />During the interview, one or more persons might be an interviewee. If there are more than one person, it is a panel interview. The most appropriate way to deal initially is to shake hands with each panel member before the interview starts. Getting nervous is but normal. However, maintaining the calmness, friendliness helps boost confidence. In a panel interview, talking with just one person is a big NO-NO. The best thing to do is to involve them all .<br /><br />Speaking clearly would be most appreciated. Trying to sell so hard might not be appealing. The employers might find it to arrogant and aggressive. Answer what are being being asked. The interviewers don’t want to hear what’s wrong with your current employer or about any personal problems. It’s perfectly acceptable to say that you want to develop your career or make a career change, when ask what prompted the sudden resignation from the previous job.<br /><br />When the interview is done, thank the interviewers. Even if the interview sucked, it is better to be polite. This might even turn up to something unexpected.Lino Claudiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07008250168424915215noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242546521145187739.post-50922116678061317432008-08-18T04:46:00.000-07:002008-08-18T04:48:05.921-07:00Which jobs will give you the skills you need?<span id="incNews_lblContent"><p>Some jobs can be better for long term career prospects than others. When starting out in an industry, the kind of experience you have in your first few jobs can inform the progression of your entire career. If you have specific <strong>career goals</strong>, then, it may be a good idea to look for jobs that will allow you to develop the appropriate skills for jobs that you take on later in life.</p> <p>Management positions will often only be available to people who have demonstrated some ability to lead in the past. While you first job is unlikely to give you leadership opportunities, at least for some time, planning to take up positions that occasionally require you to lead may be good preparation for <strong>management jobs</strong> in the future.</p> <p><strong>Planning and consultancy jobs</strong> can require that you become well-versed in many areas or else extremely experienced in a specialty. You may need to be exceptionally careful in planning your career path, and may even need to continuously look for opportunities to learn more about your specialisation if you intend to end up in a consultancy role in the future.</p></span>Lino Claudiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07008250168424915215noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242546521145187739.post-5874037821178364282008-08-04T06:06:00.000-07:002008-08-04T06:12:19.915-07:00Using jobs to boost your confidence<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://great-careers.blogspot.com"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px;" src="http://z.about.com/d/animatedtv/1/0/4/T/fGuyPeterRush09_22_72.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><strong>The same jobs can grow stale,</strong> which is why it can occasionally be a good idea to try something different. Rather than insisting your career path take a straight line to the end, perhaps you should let it wind into a few other areas. Not all the skills you develop while working will be specialized to a single field. Often, general working experience can get you into middle level jobs in other sectors, and many industries have a use for experts from related fields. Don’t just discount a <strong>change in your career</strong> because you doubt the usefulness of your skills. Effective searching for jobs will routinely bring you surprising results and could see you in a refreshing new position. <p>If you are looking for jobs in Australia, please visit our <a title="Admin jobs" href="http://jobs.ozfreeonline.com/location/brisbane/administration-jobs">admin jobs</a>, <a title="Engineering jobs" href="http://jobs.ozfreeonline.com/news/2008/6/19/using-jobs-to-boost-your-confidence/location/cairns/engineering-jobs">engineer jobs</a> and <a title="Insurance jobs" href="http://jobs.ozfreeonline.com/location/sydney/financial-planning-and-insurance-and-superannuation-jobs">insurance jobs</a> pages to <strong>find listings of the best new jobs.</strong></p>Lino Claudiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07008250168424915215noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242546521145187739.post-14457368906337166122008-07-30T01:16:00.000-07:002008-07-30T01:17:40.631-07:00Thinking about applying for overseas jobs?<p>Looking for <strong>jobs overseas</strong> and doing a <strong>working holiday</strong>?

You <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv21o2Bd6xg0V0NEEX-HgnCUTStjmS5KNqJoRhcXcujMDDccJiuitlh2299b6Vvh4yE0pw4qbJuM7TEAUeE2g7KovBcNXjV8FL68qEnBawdp9d6HeyKckxzrZwrItftNAgnba-xSGJw7Y/s1600-h/phpn35Ks2AM.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv21o2Bd6xg0V0NEEX-HgnCUTStjmS5KNqJoRhcXcujMDDccJiuitlh2299b6Vvh4yE0pw4qbJuM7TEAUeE2g7KovBcNXjV8FL68qEnBawdp9d6HeyKckxzrZwrItftNAgnba-xSGJw7Y/s200/phpn35Ks2AM.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5200179154979646674" border="0" /></a>have the power to ensure that leaving your current employer strengthens your relationship and reputation rather than destroying it.<br /><br />Remember the day you started your job? Most likely you were welcomed with open arms, introduced to co-workers and supported as you eased into your role. There was an air of excitement and the experience was a positive one.<br /><br />And now its time to move on.There is a way to leave with the same collegiality and positive atmosphere. There is a way to strengthen bridges rather than burn them behind you. Really!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Transitions need to be carefully planned and thought through</span>. It is important to give as much notice as possible (3-4 weeks for a professional position). Consider others' vacation schedules and workload distribution. Think through what needs to be done and develop a transition plan. Your employer will appreciate your thoughtfulness. After all, you know your job better than anyone else and your supervisor should welcome ideas on how best to recruit a replacement and transition your work.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Feelings need to be considered as well as the practical aspects of leaving your employer.</span> As with any ending, there is a period of shock and grief. Be prepared for this, both within yourself and with your co-workers, supervisor and colleagues. As we all know, people express grief differently. One colleague may wish you well, another may express anger and yet another may burst into tears. Even if you are leaving because of difficult circumstances, there will be feelings about your leaving. Take time to listen and talk with your co-workers and supervisor. To exit gracefully, you will need their support.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Resist the urge to focus on the negative. </span>You are leaving for a reason. It is best to focus on the positive aspects of your employment during your transition time. Thank the people who hired you and those who mentored and supported you. If you decide to discuss your disenchantment with your work, carefully plan a constructive way to do this. It may be that you save your suggestions for an exit interview with the human resource department. If you are feeling angry and resentful about your employment, consider talking it over with family and friends before resigning. If there are extenuating circumstances, a visit to an employee assistance counselor, may help you deal with your negative feelings and plan your successful transition.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Allow for ceremonies.</span> With any transition, marking the ending of a period of employment is important. Allow your co-workers to have a farewell party for you or go to lunch with them. Gracefully accept cards and remembrances. Take time to write to those who have supported you in this period of employment, thank them, and let them know how to contact you after you leave.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Organize, Organize, Organize.</span> Take a moment and think of the person that will follow you and take over your workload. Organize it, tie up all loose ends possible, and make your files and notes easy to understand and locate.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Transition relationships.</span> Make a list of your cases or projects, indicate what is needed next and suggest a transition plan.You have important contacts and it is gracious to introduce those people to the person who will be taking your place.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Take care of yourself.</span> Interviewing for a new position, accepting it, giving notice at your old position and managing a positive, graceful transition is not easy. It will require considerable physical, mental and emotional energy. Allow for a vacation between jobs. Reflect on your last job and what it meant for you and set some goals for the job that you will soon start. Make sure you take time to rest and renew your spirit.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Arrive refreshed at your new job. </span>Hit the ground running! They will be ready for you and expect you to be enthusiastic. Make sure you have the mental and emotional energy necessary to meet new people and learn new systems. Celebrate your new beginning!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Source:</span> <a href="http://jobsearch.about.com/od/resignation/a/leaveyourjob.htm">http://jobsearch.about.com/od/resignation/a/leaveyourjob.htm</a>Lino Claudiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07008250168424915215noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242546521145187739.post-27480790265633041622008-05-09T01:39:00.000-07:002008-12-08T20:19:16.276-08:00Making Job Search a Success<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc5jdUUQA8WB7aQUvYWCOirbThpBPgOJZQpmd0tXFG1Uz39WRG50MzZcPjUA7WSBRq500KespdarpiNzqJb7KqR3M8eh3H_yqz7XBC0SdVfYLzusvCtNTxuVqJn4M-YB-AKbZ8jkOgraY/s1600-h/cartoon-www.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 142px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc5jdUUQA8WB7aQUvYWCOirbThpBPgOJZQpmd0tXFG1Uz39WRG50MzZcPjUA7WSBRq500KespdarpiNzqJb7KqR3M8eh3H_yqz7XBC0SdVfYLzusvCtNTxuVqJn4M-YB-AKbZ8jkOgraY/s200/cartoon-www.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5198299614655980498" border="0" /></a>Every people involved in a job search always have their own different preferences.

Don't know what to say in an interview? Career expert and author, Joyce Lain Kennedy, shares her twelve best job interview answers to the question "Why were you fired?"<br /><br />Joyce Lain Kennedy is the nation's first syndicated careers columnist. Her<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://great-careers.blogspot.com"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 321px; height: 245px;" src="http://www.careerportfoliosystems.com/images/cartoonRc.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a> work is distributed by Tribune Media Services and appears in more than 100 newspapers and Web sites. In addition, Joyce is author of eight career-related books including Job Interviews for Dummies, where you can read additional excellent interview advice, Cover Letters for Dummies and Resumes for Dummies.<br /><br />Joyce Lain Kennedy's sample answers to the interview question "Why were you fired?"<br /><br /><ul><li>Being cut loose was a blessing in disguise. Now I have an opportunity to explore jobs that better suit my qualifications and interests. My research suggests that such an opportunity may be the one on your table. Would you like to hear more about my skills in working with new technology?</li><li>My competencies were not the right match for my previous employer's needs but it looks like they'd be a good fit in your organization. In addition to marketing and advertising, would skills in promotion be valued here?</li><li>Although circumstances caused me to leave my first job, I was very successful in school and got along well with both students and faculty. Perhaps I didn't fully understand my boss's expectations or why he released me so quickly before I had a chance to prove myself.</li><li>The job wasn't working out so my boss and I agreed that it was time for me to move on to a position that would show a better return for both of us. So here I am, ready to work.</li><li>After thinking about why I left, I realize I should have done some things differently. That job was a learning experience and I think I'm wiser now. I'd like the chance to prove that to you.</li><li>A new manager came in and cleaned house in order to bring in members of his old team. That was his right but it cleared my head to envision better opportunities elsewhere.</li><li>Certain personal problems, which I now have solved, unfortunately upset my work life. These problems no longer exist and I'm up and running strong to exceed expectations in my new job.</li><li>I wanted my career to move in a different direction, and I guess my mental separation set up the conditions that led to my departure. But by contrast, the opportunity we're discussing seems to be made for me and I hope to eventually grow into a position of responsibility.</li><li>I usually hit it off very well with my bosses, but this case was the exception that proved my rule of good relationships. We just didn't get on well. I'm not sure why.</li><li>My job was offshored to India. That's too bad because people familiar with my work say it is superior and fairly priced.</li><li>I outlasted several downsizings but the last one included me. Sign of the times, I guess.</li><li>I was desperate for work and took the wrong job without looking around the corner. I won't make that mistake again. I'd prefer an environment that is congenial, structured and team-oriented, where my best talents can shine and make a substantial contribution. </li></ul><br />Kennedy also says, "Practice in advance what you'll say. Then keep it brief, keep it honest and keep it moving." That way, you'll get past the sticky issue of getting fired and can move on to your skills and why you're qualified for the job.<br /><br />Source: <a href="http://jobsearch.about.com/od/interviewquestionsanswers/a/interviewfired.htm">http://jobsearch.about.com/od/interviewquestionsanswers/a/interviewfired.htm</a><br /><br /></div><br /><div style="padding: 5px;

I'm not sure if that's entirely accurate - even dream jobs can be hard work, but, it does make life much easier when you are doing something you love.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">What's Your Dream Job</span><br /><br />What type of job do you dream about? Some of us know from the time we are very young what we want to do when we grow up. Others are still trying to figure that out. Still others have tried a career or two, then went on to do something completely different with their lives. The days of working for the same company for a lifetime are long gone and in some industries having one job for a significant period of time is frowned upon rather than considered an asset. So, it's quite acceptable in today's workplace to consider a variety of career options.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">It's interesting to see the wide variety of jobs that visitors' to this site dream about:</span><br /><ul><li> Stand-up comedienne on a cruise ship for singles</li><li> Jockey</li><li> Concert promoter for charity</li><li> Help disadvantaged families</li><li> Work for an outdoor adventure travel</li><li> Work for a cruise line or any fun and adventure job</li><li> Freelance writer or editor</li><li> Track the number of words a variety of animals could learn to differentiate</li><li> Work for a dolphin therapy organization</li><li> A back-up dancer for famous singers</li><li> Travel the world and bring joy and change to the lives of others</li><li> The best martial arts superstar there ever lived</li><li> Work for the gaming industry</li><li> Thoroughbred Racing/Training/Breeding farm owner</li></ul><br /></div><br /><div style="padding:5px;

width: 440px; margin-top: -100px;"><br />When writing a letter of resignation, it's important to keep your resignation letter as simple, brief, and focused as possible. It should also be positive.<br /><br />Once you have made the decision to move on, there's no point in criticizing your employer or your job. Your letter of resignation should include information on when you are leaving. You can also let the employer know you appreciate your time with the company. When you're not sure what to write, review resignation letter samples to get some ideas.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Your resignation letter should include:</span><br /><br />The fact that you are leaving and date when your resignation is effective.<br />Thanks to your employer for the opportunities you have had during your employment.<br /><br />Regardless of why you are resigning or how you feel about it, if you mention why you are leaving, make sure that you do not include anything negative or disparaging about the company, your supervisor, your co-workers, or your subordinates.<br /><br /></div><br /><div style="border: 3px outset rgb(204, 204, 204);

width: 440px; margin-top: -100px;"><br />1.Non-competecontracts are given to protect the company from its former employees working on competitors or revealing company trade secrets.<br /><br />2.It is also called nomcompete agreement, non-competition agreement, non-comp or covenant not to compete. Employees sign it when they got hired, during employment, when they decide to leave or all of the above.<br /><br />3.It is also given to valuable employees to whom the company have spent money for training or to those who have access to important informations that losing him would accumulate loss for the business.<br /><br />4.If employees sign it, they agree not to engage in the same industry for a certain period of time after leaving the company. If they opt not to sign it, they’re likely out of a job, benefit or even had been subjected to lawsuit depending on when they chose not to sign.<br /><br />5.It should not cover too wide geographic area because the legal system also puts high regard on a person’s right to earn a living.<br /><br />6.It must not prohibit the former employee in engaging in too many types of businesses. It can disallow, for a reasonable duration, joining key competitors but not other indirectly related industries.<br /><br />7.Six months to two years duration is considered a reasonable time for the non-compete contract to last.<br /><br />8.It is highly appreciated if appropriate benefits will be provided in exchange of signing a non-compete agreement. Promotion or a raise is also most welcome.<br /><br />9.Non-compete contracts might not be enforceable if employees quit or were fired because they refused to engage in illegal activities while on the job.<br /><br />10.It is also non-enforceable if the employer allowed other key employees to take employment on competitors. It will be unjust to permit the employer to rely on this contract which was fully ignored in the past.<br /><br />While some of these information about Non-compete contract seems discouraging, it exists mainly to protect employers from unscrupulous employees. So as long as an employer or employee is reasonable, the law will definitely comes in favor with them.<br /><br />Ozfreeonline recommends <a href="http://jobs.ozfreeonline.com/jobseekers/jobseeker_registration.php">Job Search</a> at OzFreeOnline for your <a href="http://jobs.ozfreeonline.com/employers/employer_registration.php">Career Opportunity</a>.

width: 440px; margin-top: -30px;"><br />The most dreaded scene in Donald Trump’s show The Apprentice is when he meets a contestant at the boardroom and tells him “You’re fired!�?. Then the only thing a contestant can do is either plead or cry. The pithy phrase strikes fear to the audience especially for those working professionals. It’s either you’re a heir of an empire to not care or you dread to lose your job. For the majority, their job supports their expenses and feeds their passion. It is not enough to work hard, working professionals must know how to keep themselves employed amidst the strong industry competition. The list below discuss the top 10 effective workplace habits to prolong one’s career.<br /><br />1.Have a life plan. Most successful people have created a clear life plan. They either memorized it by heart or wrote about it, by doing these they’ve outlined the direction that they want to take. This helps them take the small steps that will make them closer to their big dream. Roadblocks might cross their paths but being focus on their plans, definitely it will lead them to the right way.<br /><br />2.Update your skills sets. The only constant thing is change. In every industry advancement is discovered thus keeping your skills set current will make you stay at par with your colleagues. Be updated on new methods that will make you more efficient.<br /><br />3.Be responsible. A professional employee exert all their efforts until they achieve the results that they wanted. Give all your best, getting hired doesn’t mean that you can’t give the same enthusiasm that you’ve showed as an applicant of your company.<br /><br />4.Do the job using efficient and effective means. The end doesn’t always justify the means therefore make sure you do your work efficiently and effectively to give you more viable outcomes.<br /><br />5.<br /> Be irreplaceable. Work hard and show them that no one can do the job right, but you.<br /><br />6.Remember that knowledge is power. Don’t be afraid to keep on learning new ideas and approaches that can ameliorate your career. Continuously feed your brains by reading lots of books even if it’s not related to your work.<br /><br />7.Be with the right crowd. Be with people who exudes positive behavior and encourages intelligence and creativity in others because you can learn from them that might help with your grow as a person.<br /><br />8.Give credit to where it is due. Don’t hesitate to acknowledge a colleague’s good work because people inevitably reap what they saw. Similarly you will also be recognize for your best efforts.<br /><br />9.Distinguish the line between promoting your self and bragging your accomplishments. Find the proper way and venue to let your colleagues in the industry know about your success.<br /><br />10.Accept the fact that your career’s success will not be a walk in the park. There will be times where despite all your attempts and good intentions, unfavorable situations happens but you must not lose your focus. Being mentally and physically tough will help you get through the ordeal.<br /><br /><br /></div><br /></div>Lino Claudiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07008250168424915215noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242546521145187739.post-25808723003365612142008-02-15T05:06:00.000-08:002008-02-15T05:13:59.565-08:00Positioning Yourself for Job Search SuccessWhen the <a href="http://jobs.ozfreeonline.com">job</a> market tightens up, and there are less opportunities for job seekers, job searching becomes much more competitive. Rather than it being a buyer’s market, where you can pick and choose between job offers, there are fewer jobs available and more candidates, so employers can afford to be picky.<br /><br />When job searching times get even a little tough, it’s more important than usual to make sure that you stand out from the job searching crowd and show the hiring manager that you are a candidate who definitely should be selected for an interview.<br /><br />What can you do to get noticed? It’s not as hard as you might think. Your application materials, have to be perfect, of course, and you will need to use your connections to help get an “in” at the company.<br /><br />You’ll also need to actively market your candidacy and yourself, rather than waiting for a new job to find you.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">How to Be a Compelling Candidate</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><blockquote><span style="font-weight: bold;">Write a Targeted Resume</span><br />I know this is harder than just having one resume that you use to apply for every job. However, it works. Taking the time to edit or rewrite your resume so it matches the qualifications for the job you’re applying for will show the hiring manager that you have the credentials for the job and should be considered for an interview.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Write a Targeted Cover Letter</span><br />Write a cover letter that shows, at a glance, why you are a strong match for the job. Don’t repeat your resume, rather link (list or use bullets) your relevant skills to the skills the employer is seeking. Highlight your professional qualifications that match the hiring requirements. You only have seconds to catch the hiring manager’s attention, so use them wisely.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Build Your Professional Brand</span><br />Sometimes, recruiters Google candidates even before they schedule an interview. You will want to make sure that everything they find when they search and everything related to you on the professional and networking sites (like LinkedIn and Facebook) is information that is presentable to the public. Also, be sure to edit your profile on LinkedIn so your connections know you are available for career and/or job opportunities.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Use Your Connections</span><br />Do you have connections at the company you just sent your resume to? If so, use them. They may be able to give your resume a boost and help you get an interview. You can also use your connections to find out more about the company. I know one job seeker, for example, who was able to connect with an employee at the company he was interviewing and get the inside scoop on the job and the company - before he set foot in the door.<br /><br />In a tight job market, your connections are an even more important resource than they are when jobs are plentiful.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Be Proactive</span><br />Remember that old saying “He who hesitates is lost” - it’s true. Employers don’t wait forever for applicants to submit their resume (I know more than a few people who have waited too long to apply and lost out on what could have been a good job), so when you find a job listing that’s a good match, apply immediately. Set up job search agents on the job search engines and/or job banks so you get new positions via email as soon as they are posted online. Again, don’t wait to apply.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Unstick Your Job Search</span><br />If your job search seems to be stuck, try some new initiatives to get it started, so you can get back on track to find a new job, sooner rather than later.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Practice Make Perfect</span><br />Practice before you go for an interview. Review typical interview questions and research the company so you are well-prepared to interview. Have interview clothes ready (dry cleaned, shoes polished, etc.) so you’re ready to interview professionally at a moment’s notice. That way, your first impression will be positive and that’s the impression you want to make on everyone you meet when you’re job searching.</blockquote><br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.adsbycata.com/index.php?url=http://jobs.ozfreeonline.com&title=Australia%20Job%20Search"><img alt="Social Bookmarking" src="http://www.adsbycata.com/bookmark2.gif" border="0" height="24" width="252" /></a></center>Lino Claudiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07008250168424915215noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242546521145187739.post-24367010221817598692008-02-13T05:17:00.000-08:002008-02-13T05:34:24.646-08:00Sticky Office Situations<span style="font-weight: bold;">#1 How to deal with officemates when you get promoted as their superior.</span><br /><br />Handling the shift of being their colleague to a boss is a challenging problem. Adjustments should be done by both sides to deal with this issue properly. The first thing to do is to acknowledge that your relationship has been changed. You are now in a different status but you’re certainly looking forward to work with them as it was like before. You should also maintain an open communication with your team by taking their suggestions and acknowledging their good efforts. Lastly, don’t take everything personally. Others might be jealous of your achievement but the only better thing to do is ignore them because you know how hard you worked to get that promotion.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">#2 What to do when your co-worker have too much personal drama.</span><br /><br />Ideally, a person should have a separate personal and professional life but some people brings their personal drama to work to the point that it causes stress to everyone around her. When there is a lot of non-work related stress in your office, the best thing to do is to stay away from it. It’s a hard ordeal because you work at the same office but you must not talk about the issue and don’t make any comments about it. If you are asked about your opinion just say that you would rather not get involved . Perhaps make a suggestion that it is much a better idea to seeks help to the superior in your company like the supervisor etc.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">#3 How to deal with the boss from hell?</span><br /><br />Most people have dealt with the difficult, intimidating, or pushy bosses and supervisors. You may not be able to change their behavior but you can learn how to deal with them properly. Learn to manage this conflict by thinking before speaking or doing an action rather than acting based on emotion. You should try to discuss (not confront) to your boss your issue with him. When he criticize your performance ask for his advice on how you can improve. Remember that you don’t have to like your boss as a person but you can be professional in dealing with him and get your job done as his subordinate.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">#4 How to handle relationship with your partner inside the office.</span><br /><br />Yes, love is inevitable, especially with two persons that are physically and spiritually attracted to each other. Wherever you are, in whatever circumstances it may be, if you fall in love you will do everything for this moment. However, if you’re mature enough to know how to handle this things, like if your co-employee is your lover you should know that you’re both officemates inside the company. There is no things that in favor with each other, inside the office you must act professionally and responsible for your own job. And if ever that you have problems with your relationship, it will be a great idea if you doesn’t bring it within your work, because it will not just affect your performances with your job but also to your partner.<br /><br />Ozfreeonline recommends <a href="http://jobs.ozfreeonline.com/jobseekers/jobseeker_registration.php">Job Search</a> at OzFreeOnline for your <a href="http://jobs.ozfreeonline.com/employers/employer_registration.php">Career Opportunity</a>.

Having an inspiration is always beneficial because it makes you look forward for the betterment of your career and for your life. The light of inspiration is always triggered by a <span style="font-weight: bold;">spark</span> inside each individual. It must be ignited to continuously motivate a person to take the necessary path, which is aligned to the person’s deepest interest and passion in life. Hence, each individual must protect the spark of inspiration from the distractions that stands before them.<br /><br />Here are some reminders to <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">keep the spark in you, alive.</span><br /><ol><li>Always look for new interests, ideas, hobby, routine or activity. Do not dismiss anything until you have fully explored the possibilities it entails.</li><li>Do no forget to pursue other things aside from your work. Sometimes people get too exhausted from work that they don’t have time to do other things that equally matter.</li><li>Cliché as it may sound but remember to live life to the fullest. Stay away from doing routines by making each day more exciting than the last. Have a break whenever you could, and continuously live up your life, but not in a mediocre type.</li><li>Do not be afraid of making changes and doing something that takes an extra effort. Becoming complacent with work or life will get you nowhere while doing random things adds excitement and bursts pleasant surprises. Be impulsive sometimes to know what are the things that you’re capable of, perhaps it will make you a better person eventually.</li><li>Be with people who exudes positive vibe because those are the individuals who you can share inspiring ideas, exciting dreams and take new directions. Exercise can also produce endorphines that naturally makes you happy, if you’re stress this will makes you feel better.</li><li>Nurture the courage to live your dreams and aspiration. Each person might have a dream as simple or big as it is, but not everyone pursue it. In the words of Bill Shankly, “Aim for the sky and you’ll reach the ceiling. Aim for the ceiling and you’ll stay on the floor.�?</li><li>Always follow what you want to do rather than what your supposed to do because family, friends or society says so.

Population growth, the increase of many different styles of food, and the upsurge in restaurants have created many new positions. The majority of openings will arise from high turnover, since food service work is often a short-term source of income for students, those between jobs, and trainees who want work experience to enhance their entrance into other hospitality, more lucrative fields.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://jobs.ozfreeonline.com/"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 217px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyWgzpCQaf8KEwxUe4ahDMF5j_8l0FNfL_gAa8ZuFq-2ro-YTfSqot2sPfBTEBTHJgdw25hhiww4GPvAz_Q9GTBhBhaUhGbVH3_R1VBQXPxML-8X2a3kkTC3oTE57Xfi42tBVPqIDn-MM/s200/bigfishy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5152651267670543682" border="0" /></a>Keen competition is usual for upmarket positions in popular restaurants, International hotels and fine dining establishments, where likely earnings from tips are greatest.<br /><br />Food and beverage servers are the frontline of customer service. Waiters whether male or female, are the largest group of these workers. Waiters serve food and drinks to guests in hotels, restaurants, clubs, bistros, cafes, coffee shops, and other dining establishments. Before a restaurant is open, or before the guests arrive at a function, (such as a wedding), the waiting staff may have several jobs to do. They might have to move tables around, polish the cutlery, lay the tables; putting out tablecloths, napkins, and cutlery, crockery, glassware, and table decorations.<br /><br />Some wait staff greet customers, escort them to their tables, seat them, and hand them menus. They may answer questions, explain menu items and specials, and keep tables and dining areas clean, neat and prepare fresh settings for new diners. They take customers’ orders, and serve food and beverages.<br /><br />When diners have had their appetizer for a few minutes, the duty of the waiter is to ask whether everything is as expected. During their shift, they will refill water glasses, wine or other beverages, prepare itemized food bills, and sometimes accept payment. When diners prepare to leave, the waiter asks whether everything was to their satisfaction, thanks them for dining in the restaurant, and invites them to return and may escort them to the front door.<br /><br /><br />No doubt, waiting at tables is hard work, but when you are reliable, punctual, and consistent and find the perfect job then you can rely on making good money, especially with tips.<br /><br />The State of Food Service in Australia<br />It is surprising there are not more young people wanting to be the best in the waiting profession. Wages for floor staff in Australia is generally regarded as reasonable. For instance, the top floor positions in leading restaurants can command salaries, according to industry sources, from $55,000 to $75,000. In addition, though most waiters are tight-lipped about tips, it doesn't take much to figure out that a basic 10% gratuity on a bill at a ‘three-hatted’ restaurant is not exactly pocket change. Customers want good service when they go out to eat in a restaurant and they certainly recognise when they get it, so it is a shame that the industry does not do more to provide better service and to promote waiting as a life-long profession as they do in Europe.<br /><br />Servers are expected to provide speedy, competent, courteous service. When the food is ready, the waiting staff brings it from the kitchen and serves it to the guests. Most times the food is put on the plate in the kitchen (this is known as 'plate service') and presented to the diner.<br /><br />Duties vary considerably, depending on the establishment. Most work as part of a team, helping co-workers to improve workflow and customer service. Food and beverage service workers are on their feet most of the time and often carry heavy trays of food, dishes, and glassware. During busy dining periods, they are under pressure to serve customers quickly and efficiently.<br /><br />Ozfreeonline recommends <a href="http://jobs.ozfreeonline.com/jobseekers/jobseeker_registration.php">Job Search</a> at OzFreeOnline for your <a href="http://jobs.ozfreeonline.com/employers/employer_registration.php">Career Opportunity</a>.

A person who wants to pursue a career of being a film director needs to have an artistic awareness; long patience<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://jobs.ozfreeonline.com"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 210px; height: 212px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVjSabFgR7YhPwhH02Rp_VgxhVDr_7F7EsrAvbXrEMtMFSiBtDM7nwOsgdldMpZOfNUomnE1ZthwgKntmDaE7NgrI9hhRMNJuPCGt2tfwnW_VMQf6_zkWIiQ9L7OPMVovrAEx_UqRh5kM/s200/ist2_2263192_film_director.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5151606160393506082" border="0" /></a>, good communication skills, can motivate and exercise authority over the whole production. His main responsibility is to make sure that the artists are all ready to act and shoot. A director also read and study the script and eventually apply an artistic representation and criticism. He plans the set design, costumes, lighting and camera effects and selects the cast from screen tests and auditions. He also coordinates the taping, instructs cameraman for the shots, edits the film. He adds some effects for the shoots and coordinates the overall activities of the whole production including the crew, cast and technicians.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Here are 7 career paths to be the next Steven Spielberg or James Cameron:</span><br /><br />1. Come up with any potential contacts within the film industry. Working as an apprentice under a current director for films, TV commercials, music videos or feature films will help you boost your connection.<br /><br />2.Attending a film school can help you gain both theoretical concepts and industry contacts. Some of the top film schools are New York University, the University of Southern California, the American Film Institute in Los Angeles, California Institute of the Arts and the University of California at Los Angeles.<br /><br />3. You can apply for entry level jobs on movie sets such as production assistant. Working hard and/or finding the right friends can help you move up the ladder. Because there is no such job abruptly as a director, you should try hard to achieve it with your professional skills and talents.<br /><br />4. You can use TV commercials or music videos direction as a stepping stone since many film directors started in that field. A good example is American director David Leo Fincher who directed Rick Springfield’s “Dance This World Away”(1984), Madonna’s “Vogue"?(1990) to Nine Inch Nail’s “Only"?(2005). Then on 1992 he entered film direction through the movie Alien, which was followed by his collaborations with Brad Pitt such as “Se7en"?, “Fight Club"? and the upcoming movie, “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button"?.<br /><br />5: Develop a good eye in capturing the right angle and views. A roll of a photographic film with a series of frames to be visualize using a movie projector, with professional quality can be very useful for your training as a director.<br /><br />6. Shooting a short films, in a 10 minutes long black and white resolution, on your own. You should find your own actor and write your own script to construct your experience and put it proudly to your resumé.<br /><br />7. Update your industry contacts regularly especially the directors, producers and actors. Having a constant networking leads to more opportunities. Be friendly and make sure to know who’s in charge so that sooner or later she/he will be very helpful to your career.<br /><br />Stay involves in as much as many film productions as you can. You should be creative and persistent because to become a film director it is not easy as you’ve always imagine. Continue to build your industry connections and be updated on the upcoming productions and possible job openings.<br /><br />Ozfreeonline recommends <a href="http://jobs.ozfreeonline.com/jobseekers/jobseeker_registration.php">Job Search</a> at OzFreeOnline for your <a href="http://jobs.ozfreeonline.com/employers/employer_registration.php">Career Opportunity</a>.

I now got my bachelor’s degree. Everyone greeted me, “Welcome to the real world!? with a sheepish grin on their faces. Everything is so surreal. The idea of independence, earning my own money and finally starting my career is giving me a different kind of rush. I am actually qualified and not to mention required to start looking for a job.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://jobs.ozfreeonline.com"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 540px; height: 251px;" src="http://www.caglecartoons.com/images/preview/%7BA490E49B-B4C5-476A-A451-DFBCEAD527F3%7D.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>I took a well deserved break for two weeks, I went to the beach, went out with my friends that I neglected when I was cramming to graduate. I’m ready to begin the new chapter of my life and start my job hunting.<br /><br />I decided to start looking for jobs on the Internet, so I registered to an online job search site. As I scanned through the job listings, I get a bit frustrated because most vacancy requires a job experience or a very impressive academic statistics.

I feel that Im under employed though I cant really complain because I dont have an impressive academic background to boot.<br /><br />OzFreeOnline Jobs says:<br /><br />Earning your degree will allow you to be qualified for vast career options. Notice that I used the word “career? not job because we often view job as a work done to pay your bills, etc and you should aim for building a career not just having a job.<br /><br />As a fresh graduate, you will be looking for your first job and most of the time you would end up doing work that you never imagined or studied in college. But you don’t need to press the panic button just yet. As a newbie in the employment or “real? world, you need to open yourself to these possibilities which can certainly be translated into a learning experience.<br /><br />Reality check, your college degree is not enough to prepare you for the obstacles in starting your career, you need to be equipped with the proper mindset to succeed and maintain a level of sanity.<br /><br />Here are the things that you should keep in mind that you should learn from your first job experience:<br /><br />There’s no better place to learn being responsible that on the workplace. Its either you beat the deadline and meet the requirements or you lose your job.<br /><br />You would learn the value of accomplishment, the satisfaction that you gain when your hard work paid off.<br /><br />You should choose your first job well and do it with dignity and commitment, so at the end of the day you will feel self-respect.<br /><br />We know that most employers would want to hire applicants with job experience but here are some tips to be competitive in the job market.<br /><ol><li>Work on your resume.
