Handling awkward moments in an interview
Posted by editor on Feb 21, 2009
There will be times, during a job interview, when your interviewer will ask you questions along the lines of “How did you deal with a stubborn client or co-worker?” or “What was the most challenging or difficult aspect / task in your previous job?”
These may be awkward questions, and while the interviewer is aware that they are, he or she asks you these kinds of questions to gauge your responses to less than ideal situations, including the one he or she just put you in. The key is to remain calm and focused, and only discuss the positive aspects of the issues raised – like saying how you dealt with a certain problem or situation. No need to detail the problem or where other people whet wrong. No matter how in the right you were, it doesn’t look good when you diss someone.

求人サイトでの詐欺は、このように起こります。あなたが求人サイトで仕事を探しているとします。そのサイトは、 信用できる企業 の情報を掲載していることで知られるサイトです。ところが、そういったサイトに掲載されている求人の中に、明らかに広告目的の投稿があるのをよく見かけるでしょう。 こういった広告はすぐにわかります。必ずといっていいほど非現実的な好条件が書かれていて、直接の連絡先が書かれていないからです。 そういったニセの求人情報のリンク先のページは、さらに多くの広告で埋め尽くされています。 こういった情報は詐欺なので、引っかからないようにしましょう。 こういった情報が投稿され続けるのは、本物の求人情報を求めてサイトを訪れる人がだまされる、つまり効果があるからです。 そして、ニセ求人情報の数は増え続けています。 そういった情報は短時間で高収入を得られるように書かれているので、つい心を引かれてしまいます。 そして、登録料やその他の良くわからない名目の手数料を、多いときには200ドルほど要求されることになってしまうのです。 合法的な仕事なら、このような手数料を取られることはあり得ません。 仕事はお金を稼ぐためにすることで、仕事を得るためにお金を払うのはおかしいのです。 常識で考えればわかることです。
Fed Open Doors
Posted by editor on Dec 26, 2008
Not finding any jobs, try the military or federal government offices for they are going to be opening their doors to swell their ranks and of course create jobs that are so badly needed. Have a job, feel lucky for there isn’t many left. more and more people are losing it by the way and you might just get whacked if you don’t perform well.
Always treat a new day as a new challenge for improvement and not mind the reality of the worsening economy. Too many people are already feeling bad so one less is better. Be satisfied with your job and the pay you get for having a job is indeed a rarity in today’s economy. The Federal Government has been doing what it could to encourage people to get work in their offices but even these are so limited that many will be rushing at the first sign of availability. Use your skills in the military services, not necessarily in the battlefield but with support services such as in mechanical maintenance and other fields.

Scams work this way… when you are looking for a possible job opening on a job hunting site which is known to be a provider of good references of employers, more likely, you have enocuntered on those sites, job positions that are obviously advertisements. You can decipher this because it almost always offer to good to be true compensation and does not have direct contact information. They often will lead you to a web page which is bombarded with more advertisements. These are scams, and you should stay away from them. These exist because it works well with searchers who visit the job looking for a genuine job opportunity. And the number of these fake jobs are rising. IT is easy to be lured by the scam because it offers you much more money in no time at all.

Times are tough. Many people continually lose their jobs either because of closure or retrenchment. Looking for new jobs is difficult. But often rewarding if you know how to find them. Local newspapers simply cannot help you as much as job search engines do. Job search websites are huge databases of job listings which can be searched by job seekers.

I know job hunting is hard especially when you don’t have enough resources. That’s why lets have a closer look to an online job search site “JOBSDB”. JobsDB or Jobs Database is a collection of job vacancies from different partner companies. This website was established in 1998 at Hong Kong. Its main objective is to help job hunters to find the right job that will be suitable for them by visiting jobsdb website. JobsDb is also international because if you will visit the main page there are countries to choose from like Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand and etc. But I know Jobsdb also organized job fair in different places to accommodate job finders who don’t have the resources of internet or computer. Last September I attended one job fair organized by Jobsdb in world trade center of Philippines and there are about 100 plus companies who participated that event and I think about 10,000 have been employed by BPO, Call Center, and other Companies because of that jobfair.
Put your best shoe forward

The first thing an interviewer will notice about you is your appearance.
For the ladies, keep your hair away from your face. You may wear make-up but remember that anything in excess is always a bad thing. For clothing, make it clean and well-pressed. You may wear a pantsuit or a skirt as long as it’s not too short, too tight, or too flowy. Be careful not to ruin hosiery.
For the men, be sure that your hair is well-trimmed and your face is clean shaven. Please be sure that you smell clean though. Wear a clean and well-pressed suit.
For both, no jewelry except wedding rings. Polish your shoes if they need it. No perfume, cologne, or strong aftershave.
