Apply through email? No problem.

by: Christine Zafra

The internet is the fastest vehicle when it comes to communication. A lot of companies prefer applicants to apply online since they receive the applications in a matter of seconds. Although some job aggregates do have automatic systems of delivering applications to the respective companies, some only operate manually—that is, they only function as a “listing site” and they only have a directory of employers (i.e. emails, contact numbers are listed).

The biggest dilemma people encounter is that of what to write in their emails. Always remember to keep the email concise, attach your resume if the company said so and tell your employer your purpose of applying. Keep in mind that simple and concise emails are the ones mostly being read by these busy HR managers (since they receive probably hundreds of applications everyday).

The Two Kinds of Job Search Networking

Image Source: wrightplace.co.uk

Networking plays an important role in job search. It is where people meet, explore new business relationships, exchange ideas and share valuable knowledge, information and job opportunities. There are two kinds of job search networking: the informal job search networking and the formal job search networking.

Informal job search networking is a direct approach to friends, college alumni, community leaders, associations or just about anyone to generate job leads, information and advice.

Formal job search networking, on the other hand, involves joining an established network (mostly online) to be more exposed to the employment world. Same with informal networking, it connects a person to a community of people and organization for potential job opportunities.

Both the informal and the formal job search networking produce good results in helping people get the job they want. It largely depends on one�s beliefs and values what kind of networking to join in.

However, note also that employers differ in enforcing rules and employment guidelines. While many employers require online application, some ask applicants to apply in person. Following instructions can save you the hassle, time and energy.

Blogging for money

null

The key to blogging for money is to be able to find a niche where you will be able to provide unique content that you’re sure people will read and go back to. Regularly updating you website / blog is a must, as people will also develop the routine of visiting you when they know you’ve put up something new. Readers are sure to shy away or forget you completely if you post erratically. Another thing you should remember is to keep your site clean and free from clutter – don’t put too many ads. Remember, people come to your blog for your content, not because of your ads. And about content, be sure that your advertising DOES NOT compromise your content. Some advertisers will want a say in the content you write; the trick is finding the right balance between serving your advertisers and serving your readers.

Ghost Writing

proofThis type of gig is in the realm of the social internet alongside blogging and article writing (or maybe all are the same?!? beats me), been doing it for a while and the term applies to people who provide content for other people who publish them as their own or a pool of people who do the same for a common publisher or company who owns a web site. It is still writing much like blogging where you get to earn money doing stuff you do normally for your own personal page. many have benefited from this type of work for it doesn’t matter where you live as long as you have a computer connected to the internet, you’re all set.
While on the subject, plagiarism or the copying of the works of others from the internet is common but as he nature of the social internet goes, if it’s online its a free for all. Many have tried to protect content and many have given up, allowing the use of content from their pages as long as they are not used for commercial purposes. It might be easier but you should at least do a rephrasing of your work if you use content or ideas from some other site, you should also give credit to those who deserve it for you’d want others to do the same with your work, wouldn’t you?

Mystery Shopper Scams

ShoppingHaven’t heard of it, well it has you, the promising victim, receiving and email that you have been selected for a promising job as a mystery shopper for some big names in the retail industry. They have you go around exclusive and posh stores buying items with your job being to rate the work ethics and demeanor of the store staff, so on and so forth. You get in touch with people through a website, who give you the instructions on which store to go to and buy from, receiving reimbursements for all your expenses. You get the items you bought plus the fee for each and every shop you buy from and rate. Still not suspicious, well look at this from another angle, who would be crazy enough to pay somebody they don’t even know buying stuff from their stores, keep the stuff and pay you for it?
This scam is growing and all you end up with is a lot of debt and headaches on how you are going to pay for the stuff you all bought, you even get your personal information stolen in the process as you release them to your employers(con artists) who in turn use it for more mischief that you have to pay for. Just remember that anything that sounds too good to be true is probably a scam so be wary of such offers.

Employment Services Boom

There is an increasing need for employment services due to the need for skilled and non-skilled employees in various sectors, including manufacturing, service and sales industries.
They act as middlemen between jobs and job applicants. They provide equal opportunities to employers and employees. most companies these days,have openings for both casual and permanent jobs.

Employment services usually cater to the needs of a company through three sectors, these being contract placement; contract to hire placement and direct placement.

Employment services provide contract placements to companies that do not have a need for full time professional staff. Skilled employees are sometimes hired on a contractual basis for a particular project. These companies rely on agencies because the agencies have the resources to fulfill their requirements. In a contract to hire placement, it is a slightly different alternative. Here, the temporary employment may be extended or you may be absorbed as full time employee depending on the circumstances. In a direct employment service, the placement is full time.
