Your Best Firend and Enemy are the Same

OnlineSafetyThe internet can be both a friend or foe at the same time, for it does give you access to all the opportunities out there for earning money. The bad side has everything about you always within reach over the net making it a very dangerous place indeed. Identity Theft, Vishing, Phishing and many other scams abound so when you read something that sounds too good to be true it probably is a scam.
There are a lot of jobs yes, but there may be just as much scams so be wary of any offers that come out of the blue. Free employment opportunities that ask for advance fees are scams that charge you in the end with the site asking you to pay for some amount in exchange for some printed materials you are to get in the mail(they reached you through mail, why not send the said information to you through the same channel?). You’re merely being scammed for a few bucks but risk getting your credit card info stolen. Online safety is a must, not a trivial warning so take this seriously.

Myths in Job Hunting

It is vital to be fully aware of the process that is involved in looking for a job. It will require you to be diligent and stay focused. There are many misconceptions about certain points in job hunting that can really break your chances of getting hired. We’ll take a look at a few of them here. A lot of job seekers think that, a cover letter is not that important. You are so wrong. The purpose of the cover letter is to inform the employer about your specific qualifications for the position being applied for. The cover letter is the letter of introduction. That simply means that if the cover letter is ommited, the resume is INCOMPLETE. That’ll spell TRASH BIN to your resume. Searching for a job, fresh from college, is easy. Most fresh graduates land a job or two without even knowing if the job that they got is really the job that they want. This is true, because, it is not an easy thing to identify the right job for you when you’re still just starting out. The process takes time. It will need you to reflect more on the true interests and hobbies within your self. An indicator of these things are skills and qualifications.

A Resume that is well designed is better… NOT! Keeping a simple yet informative resume will land you the job. Flashy and overly decorated resumes do you no good. It might even be mistaken for a virus if you send the ‘thingy’ through email. A resume must have a professional look. And you must keep several copies of it so you can be ready to give out a copy when the need arises.

Protect Yourself

30 May 2008

By: Govy

It is very important to protect yourself when it comes to online job hunting. There are a lot of fake websites that tries to drain your money, grabbing the opportunity that job seekers are desperate to be hired and willing to shell-out their money just to be on the list of applicants.

Keep your contact information to a minimum on resumes posted online and you can use an alternate e-mail address to weed out spam and irrelevant requests, but it’s also the professional way to protect yourself. Remember, never use your business e-mail on your job hunt.

Protect your privileged information and never provide any personal info over the phone or online to prospective employers (or anyone for that matter) outside of what’s currently available on your resume.

Use your common sense…we have all been in the “unemployed and desperate” space at some point in our lives and it is never fun. All these troubles can be avoided if we keep our eyes and ears open and ensure our safety and protect ourselves.

Pitfalls of Online Job Hunting

26 May 2008

By: Govy

Online Job Hunting can be very exhausting, there is no assurance that opportunity would come in as expected. Job seekers should take time to research all possible options thoroughly and don’t rely on the information posted from the job site.

The online job search engines provides us possible job but no online post could prepare job seekers would face. The online sites don’t tell what to watch out for and more importantly they can’t tell you what the company is really like because they don’t know.

Another frightening reality is that resumes posted on the Internet are sometimes used for other purposes such as spam mails and even identity theft. Resumes are the greatest way to learn everything you want to know about a person including their address, work history, places of residence and education so this could divulge so much information and it could be very dangerous.

Worse yet, there is the possibility that your current employer (if you’re already employed) may do a quick search and find out that you’re looking for another work which might affect their perspective towards you and this could be very exhausting.
