Entry Level Jobs

Sometimes, finding entry level jobs is difficult. Especially when you don't have much experience and there is lots of competition for each and every job opening.  Most of the job sites geared to entry level candidates (like MonsterTrak, Experience, etc.) have job listings, which are helpful, of course. It can be really useful though, to be able to review more information than just a job posting. One Day One Job does exactly that.  You'll find in-depth profiles of [...]

When People are not Supportive of your Work at Home Venture

Many people dream for years and years about working from home either in a telecommuting job or owning their own business. When you finally take the leap, you may be the only one happy for you. I hear from people, mostly women, all the time who encounter a lot of negativity toward their working from home. This negativity comes from spouses, family members, former co-workers, friends, and neighbors. These attitudes are often generated from misunderstanding, [...]

Blog Promotion with BlogSigs

One of Hotmail's secrets of success is that little line at the bottom of every mail sent from a Hotmail account that promote Hotmail itself. If it worked for them, it can work for you. Promo your blog with a line at the end of every email you send out. It seems simple enough, but what about including the headline of your latest post too. This would generate more interest then [...]

Advertising Cutbacks should make Marketers more Effective

With the World’s dipping economy and the US recession corporations could look to cutting back Marketing and Advertising budgets in order to save money. It might not make sense, from a marketers point of view, to cut back marketing spend during tough times but this could usher in a new challenge to the marketing fraternity in terms of making their marketing strategy and plans more effective. Marketing has cemented its place in the global economy [...]

LinkedIn for Grads

I read a really good Pure Visibility blog post the other day that discussed how important it is for students and graduates to be on LinkedIn saying, "If you’re looking for a job, you can’t NOT be in LinkedIn. It positively shocks me that every college and university is not making this clear to today’s graduating class." That's true and, I agree, colleges should be doing a better job of stressing the importance of LinkedIn. [...]

5 alternative ways to market YOU.

Yesterday I read about Richard Millington's alternative approach to landing an internship with Seth Godin. Basically, Richard has gone one step further than simply sending in his CV and has created a blog to showcase his talents and - not so subtly - to let the world know that he wants to work with Seth Godin. It's a good idea. It's different enough to be noticed (it's already appeared in at least one UK [...]

School holidays: how do you mix work with your kids?

I used to love the school holidays when I was a kid. But now that I work from home and have kids, it's a completely different story. During term time, my kids (ages 6 and 3) are out all day at school and my time is my own, save for school runs and the like. I can get stuff done. It's fantastic. But during holidays - like the two weeks starting from today here [...]

Healthcare - a hot growth industry?

The Daily Breeze has an article that covers the reasons why healthcare is a great career choice right now. Check it out... Clearly, the need for health-care workers will continue to rise, largely because of two factors: Aging baby boomers will require more services, and current health- care workers will retire, leaving their jobs to be filled. So, make sure you keep an eye out for jobs at the wurk healthcare job listings! [...]

Working from Home

I've lost count of the number of times I've been asked whether there were really real work at home jobs. There's no easy answer to that question, but, in a nutshell, the more skills you have the better chance you'll have of being able to find work you can do at home or of building a freelance business. You will also need a high speed internet connection, a decent computer, and [...]
