How to highlight your application online.
2008-01-09 23:49:00
online advertising (http://www.bidvertiser.com/bdv/BidVertis er/bdv_advertiser.dbm) How to highlight your application online. “Just be creative if you want to highlight your application and get the chance to be interviewed first.” This was my answer to a certain job seekers’ question on how to highlight his application. There are so many gimmicks you can do just to highlight yourself and your application but please don’t go beyond the extremes to prevent bad impressions. Follow up by phone. As an example on how to highlight your application is to make a follow up call but this could irritate employers if you keep on calling them about the status of your application. Worst, this approach is totally conventional and could not possibly give you the edge to stand out from the rest of the applicants because of its negative impact to recruiters aside from it’s time consuming entertaining calls in between deadlines. Follow up by snail mail. Email has be...

Self as the Benchmark.
2008-01-04 01:31:00
This post was guest blogged by Pradeep Mahesh (Maheshwari) of Gunas (http://gunasimpex.bloombiz.com/). Self as the Benchmark . How subjective can we get? That we tend to take decisions and act on what is convenient and understandable to us and within our experience is not just a theory. Practical experience has proven it again and again. In the early 70s I had just put my first foot forward in the professional arena and had come to settle in Delhi. The Lord in his kindness gave me a good start and I rented a small 2 room flat for my bachelor self in a so called “posh” colony. I had grand plans and I was of the belief that a good start was half the journey. Success comes to those who “seem” successful. Plus I had the definite making of a snob and dinghy places were not for me. I was paying a princely sum of Rs 250 per month which happened to be at that time the average monthly income of an Indian. My ancestral home town being only 35 miles away from Delhi, I ...

Careerclub Philippines and Smorty

Careerclub Philippines and Smorty I just recently joined this affiliate program hoping that it could help Careerclub Philippines on the funds that we need to give the site the needed mileage for 2008. We’re keeping our fingers crossed that by January 2008 we can localize the service site to students, job seekers, employees and employers in general. I’ll be shifting our focus on the local market for the first quarter of the year since most of traffic came from the US as per raw logs. That’s no surprise to us since we really wanted to boast Careerclub’s link popularity through focusing on blogging as the first move to gain popularity, traffic and we just did it. From 4 Million plus down to 800,000 plus courtesy of Alexa site traffic rankings. So what’s Smorty’s role on the success of Carreerclub Philippines? Smorty is basically a service connecting advertisers with bloggers at a premium. So Smorty is one source of the funds for Careerclub Philippi...

Offering you a resume review at no cost I just bumped into this egroup of Human Resource Professinals (http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/HR PN) based in the US who's offering to review your resume at no cost. I joined their egroup weeks back and after which they sent me a simple invitation about the said initiative wherein they are offering such service for FREE. The good thing about this is that they have the pool of Human Resource Professionals (http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/HR PN) that they call volunteers who are experienced at their field and are the ones who'll be reviewing your resume for FREE. All you have to do is email your updated resume to the moderator and the moderator will forward your resume to their volunteer professionals. So what's the catch? I don't know and I havn't tried it but you've got nothing to lose if you'll try. Cofidentiality is not also a problem to them since it's their no.1 rule.

Though he sometimes listens to my advices but I don’t expect him to follow that; the youngest among the three kings and a typical brat who wants nothing but attention. Anyway, he’s pursuing his law degree right now so I guess it’s a good excuse for him on not to look for a stable job. Although I really wanted him to look for a job first and pursue his studies right after but still he insist on doing things his own way then so be it. Moreover, I honestly don’t find him a lawyer material but if granted worst things happen… my god expect criminals to be on the run.

Cash advance 101 Cash advance (http://www.cashadvance1500.com/) or payday loans (http://www.cashadvance1500.com/) are sometimes one of the most abused benefits by some of our employees if your policy is not in place. To some its one of those benefits that an employee wants to have especially on cases that they needed it the most. To some company policies they are offering no interest to any of those cash advances availed as long as you stay for the company for the next couple of years or as computed. Cash advances or payday loans are one of the quickest ways to get hold of money when you are short of funds especially on emergency cases. Others might call it short-term loan in the sense that it can offer you quick cash for your bills or your other dues for the month since you’ll be paying it with your next salary. Cash advances are made available to regular employees only and dependent on your capacity to pay or dependent with the policy that the provider is implementing. Other...

Points on Good Body Language
2007-12-18 19:14:00
The following is a guest post by CJ of Job Life Upgrade. Points on Good Body Language Introduction We all know of the statistic: 92% of our communication is nonverbal. A majority of that 92% is body language (voice tonality is the other). I’ve been working on my body language for a long time. It’s not perfect, but it gets the job done. Growing up a shy, insecure boy left me with almost no opportunities in college (in romantic life and job life). After being unemployed for a bit, I decided to improve my soft skills. Body language is important. One time, I went to a job interview with a company I didn’t care for. Just to experiment, I decided to consciously give bad body language. I gave the same answers that I would always give, but I made myself look meek and insecure. I did so “bad” in that interview that they actually started to offer me advice on how to do well in interviews. I was shocked how well my experiment worked. Of course, I didn’t get ...

When is the right time to attract?

When is the right time to attract? This may not be a new to you but mind you a lot of employer representatives failed to recognize the importance of attracting talents at the right time and at the right place. The latter might also be trivial as well for others since now a day’s there are lots of venues were talents lurk and loiter that confuses recruiters. On my previous rhetoric’s that can be found in this site, I was able to present some venues online were you can spot talents and flirt with them, but this article presents a prequel of the whole process i.e. attracting talents. I may not be discussing extensively on employment branding here though it plays a very significant role in attracting talents, but rest assured this article is still worth the read. Once an old employee resigns. Conventional recruiter only attracts and recruits applicants once an old employee resigns. This is very applicable to small companies or even to medium sized where HR is just an adminis...

2008 Demands Creative Minds While I was trying to create some sample teasers for our up coming Christmas bash, I then asked myself if I could really produce a really good out put knowing that I haven’t done these stuffs for couple of months now. Worst, I haven’t undergone any training on CS3 Photoshop though I can manage to outline some figures and throw some colors on it but I doubt if you’ll call that an art. But mind you, way back when I used to get enthused I tend to paint stuffs on a canvass. I wonder where those paintings are today… Anyway, I wonder what the demands are for 2008. Would it still demand for an average employee with less competencies and skills for you to compete in the global arena? Or would it demand knowledge workers packed with innovativeness and creativity to be able to survive. My fellow Human Resource colleagues, what’s your pick? And why such a demand is inevitable?

Networking: Headhunter secrets revealed and how ordinary professionals can learn from it. Why other headhunters are so successful in this field while others tend to fail? Failure in the sense that, they run out of resources or referrals for such a really hot seat for a certain company. Was their network too small? Have they run out of ideas on how to pool potential talents, where to search them and place them on a very dynamic database that updates itself from time to time? A vast network is the key ingredient for one headhunter to succeed and that’s a fact. Without a wider array of network a headhunter fails. If you are looking forward of becoming one, then I guess you’ll have to start networking now before it’s too late. Headhunters are increasing in population now a days and this is to the advantage to various employers who taps their service. The more an employer taps a service of various headhunters, the higher the percentage of filling such juicy vacancy. Co...
