HOW TO CHOOSE A SUITABLE JOB POSITION


To find the right job for you, you'll need to figure out what type of person you are, and what your interests are. For many jobs available, you will need the proper training or education. Most employers require at least a High School diploma, and some require a College Degree. However, a lot of jobs do offer on the job training, which would enable you to apply for that particular field. Try to match your personality, interests, knowledge, and age, with a position suitable for you. Don't be afraid to venture out and try new things.

[edit] Steps
Consider a position in the medical, dental or pharmaceutical field if you are friendly and outgoing and educated or trained in this field. Other similar jobs include receptionist, cashier, waitress/waiter, or salesperson.
If you desire such a medical professional position but lack the education, be prepared for several years' school and high tuition bills. If you make it through, though, you're pretty much guaranteed a job whenever and wherever you want, with a very pretty paycheck.
Check out being a sample model, or cosmetic salesperson if you are friendly and attractive. You never know how far you can go with a great smile.
Try out creative professions if you've got that innovative streak. These could include something in the arts, flower arranging, interior decorating, etc. If you are creative and love to cook, a job in the culinary arts could be for you (you could also start your own catering business).
Embrace your energetic-side by getting involved as an exercise teacher, personal trainer, or coach. Check-out your local YMCA for options.
Seek out a more solitary job position if you are shy or moody. For example, driving a truck, plumbing, roofing, house painting, housekeeping, and so forth. There are many job positions that you can try.
Get into a management position if you consider yourself to be a take-charge sort of person. There are a wide range of positions to choose from...search the help wanted ads.
Become a teacher or caretaker, if you like being around children or the elderly. Normally, there are always positions available in those particular fields.
If you enjoy designing things, you may want to become a draftsman, or go to school to become an engineer. You may want to check some schools out that offer night classes, since most people are busy during the day.

[edit] Tips
Consider trying a few 'personality type' tests such as the Myers-Briggs Type Index (MBTI). Many free online versions can be found on the web.
When applying for a job that involves typing, do not let the fact that you can not type a hundred words a minute scare you off, if that is the case. There are many office jobs that require little typing, and look for accuracy over speed...invoicing doesn't require a lot of speed.
If you are currently unemployed, consider working for a 'Temporary Agency'; you can get paid while trying out new types of jobs and working environments.
Be willing to try different things; plus think seriously about what type of job suits you. Think of others while you are evaluating yourself; don't put having a personality disorder off on others.
When you are seeking a job position that you have never tried, be sure to let your new employer know that you are eager to learn.
If you are good at design work, you may want to seek out a field that you can exercise that... such as putting together catalogues, or doing paste up work. Search around to see what’s out there. You may possibly want to try designing your own greeting cards, sitting at home at your kitchen table... it's been done before.
If you are good at drawing, then maybe try your luck at cartoon drawings and send them off to places like Readers' Digest, or Woman's World Magazine...you never know until you try.
If you are fond of writing, there are endless ways to use that skill. Start with getting a Writers Market...you can go to the library, if you choose not to buy one; but keep in mind that the library's books are a few years old.
You can take a very limited education and do wonders with it. On the other hand, you can take the best education that money can buy and do nothing. You can always build on the foundation that is laid, if you have the right spirit.
It takes all types of people doing all sorts of different jobs to maintain the world in which we live. We can all take pride in earning an honest dollar.
If you like dressing-up and looking pretty and have good office skills, by all means give office work a try...if you like working with numbers, bookkeeping may possibly be perfect for you.
If you're a hothead, you may want to get into Boxing, or join the Military Service that should work some of that out of you.
If you should choose to go into house cleaning; it is best to start out by going to work for an established Maid Service to learn the ropes, before adventuring out on your own. Naturally your pay will be less than if you are keeping all the profits. However, the Maid Service will furnish the supplies, instead of you. The pay is good in any case, all you need is the energy.
If you enjoy polishing and caring for your own nails, you may be interested in becoming a Manicurist or (nail technician) to fancy the term up. Check out a directory for Beauty Schools, by searching the Internet, or phone directory.
You may be a person that enjoys applying makeup, kind of like an art form...if so, being a Makeup Artist may be "right up your alley." Once again, search under Beauty Schools on the Internet, for classes. If you enjoy working with skin, search under Cosmetology. You could end up doing makeup for somebody famous, you never can tell, can you?
If you love to dance, it is possible that with a little training, you could become a teacher of dance. You could even end up with your own Dance Studio, who knows?
There's money to be made in Arts and Crafts, if you are skilled in that area. A person can sale their items at a Flea Market, or in regards to selling your items, there are many other avenues to take. You can often place items in consignment and thrift shops. If you are good with computers, you can create your own Internet sales web site.
If you speak very clearly and are easy to understand, you may enjoy Public Speaking.
Ref. to step #8; A Draftsman needs special tools, the same as a Painter needs an Easel, or a Model needs a Portfolio. Therefore, a good place to search for great buys on tools is to surf the Internet...and be sure to check-out eBay.
Note: This Article was written to represent all our workers, regardless of what job position they may have. They all help to make our lives better. Their hard work is very appreciated.

[edit] Warnings
You do not have to enjoy drinking alcohol to be a bartender. Some bars train on site, and the pay and tips are great for outgoing and friendly people. This is usually a good night job for those who have other responsibilities during the day.

avoid interview mistakes




If you want to learn how to avoid interview mistakes, keep reading. It is so important to know how to handle yourself in an interview setting.

[edit] Steps
First Impressions are essential. Are you dressed appropriately? Is your hair style attractive? Are your fingernails clean and trimmed? If you wear makeup, is it subdued enough for a work setting?
Yes, it sounds like this is just a little too much, but you can't be too careful in an interview. You want to eliminate anything and everything that might keep you from being considered for employment. Eliminate as many of the possible problem areas as you can so that the employer focuses on what you bring to the table in terms of qualifications.
Arriving on time is a must. Actually, it is best if you arrive at the location ten to fifteen minutes before the scheduled interview. Take a few moments to calm your nerves, say a prayer (if you like) and check yourself in a mirror. When it is time to walk in the door, do so a minute or two before the interview is supposed to start. Never arrive late. If something comes up, such as a traffic accident, call the company as soon as possible to make them aware of the situation.
Professionalism is highly valued. Are you chewing gum, smoking or tapping your pen on your portfolio? Everything you do will be judged in some form or fashion by the interviewer. Omit anything that might exclude you from further consideration as a potential job candidate.
Speaking clearly and concisely is wise. Remember the phrase, "Never use two words when one word will do." Address each person you meet as "Mr." or "Ms." and articulate your words using proper grammar. Also, keep your answers short and to the point. Talk to communicate a message, not just to fill the quiet spells in the interview.
Know the organization. If you have not taken the time to research the company, it will become very obvious in the interview. Check the company's web site or visit the local library and learn some key information about the place where you are thinking about spending 40 or so hours per week. What products do they make or what services do they provide? Who are their major competitors? Does the company have a mission statement and do you agree with it? Not only will you glean valuable information for yourself, but you will be better prepared for the interview.

how to choose a right interview question



It is important to have the right questions for your interview. Open and closed questions fulfill different purposes, and are used under different circumstances. Closed questions require short answers and get statistic data. Open questions require longer answers get more in depth answers.

[edit] Steps
Before an interview it is important to decide what kind of answers you want.Open an Interview give different answers and serve different purposes. Some questions that help you find your type of interview is:
What is the purpose of the interview?
What kind of facts do you want?
How do you want to collect the answers, tape recorder or taking notes?
How do you want to present the material, in diagrams or in a textual form?
How much do you want the interviewed to control the interview?
How much control do you want to have?
Do you want the interviewed to explain why he or she answers the question in a specific way?
When you have answered these questions it is time to consider if open or closed questions best fulfill your purpose.
Closed questions require short answers, with one word or one phrase, for example “yes�? and “no�?. They give you facts, are easy to answer and the interviewer keeps control over the interview. It is easy to make statistic conclusions from closed questions; therefore a research project with closed questions requires more interviews. That gives you a random sample of reality, a statistic foundation. A good example of a research with close questions is a poll. The interviewer has all the control and asks questions that everybody can answer rather quickly. The questions are short and do not leave much room for the interviewed to reflect over the questions. Another way to do research with closed questions is through a questionnaire that is handed out to a specific amount of people. Some examples of closed question are:
Do you think that George W. Bush is doing a good job?
Do you consider yourself as a conservative or a liberal?
Open questions: These questions require more information from the interviewed. That means that the answers contain more than one or two word responses. Open questions help the interviewer to go deeper and analyze why things are the way they are. For example, open questions answers not only that a person does not like his or her job, but also why he or she does not like it. It gives the interviewed a chance of developing thoughts and opinions. In a research project with open questions, the researches are analyzing more deeply and go beyond the surface to find answers. This way of interviewing often requires that the interview takes place face to face. Some information does not show in the answers, but in the body language. If the interviewer wants to go beyond the surface and find out why peoples do or think the way they do it is crucial to also analyze body language. It is also a good idea to tape the interview; otherwise it is hard to recognize different tones in the interviewee’s voice, such as irony and excitement. Since the meaning is to get deep and get (sometimes) sensitive data, it is important that the interviewed is relaxed. The interview shall take place where he or she feels comfortable and no one else can hear the conversation. Some examples of open question are:
How do you think that George W. Bush could have done a better job?
What does the liberal ideology mean to you?

CHOOSE THE FIRST JOB

It is important to be thinking about occupations from a young age. Try to volunteer or "job shadow" at places you are interested in working for. You should start thinking about this early, before going to college and having the pressure of choosing a major, finding internships, etc.

[edit] Steps
List all of the jobs you might be interested in.
Then each day take some time to research facts about each job and/or major you might be interested in. For example a lawyer needs reading&writing skills. Keep all this info in a word file for later use.
As you progress through school, take a look back at the list you created. Reread it and look at the notes you took. This would be a good time to look for internships/volunteer opportunities in the jobs you still find interesting. Call the boss of the place, go in and talk to them and keep bothering them until they let you have a job/internship.
After this, look at your list and then eliminate all the jobs you dislike after trying them out and researching the major that you will need to accomplish you goal of getting that particular job.
Ultimately and critically look at the list of jobs and try to pick one that you can see yourself doing in 5 or 10 years. Talk to people who you know that have that job. Interview them. Check out internet forums, articles online about people in that line of work, and email the people in that line of work to see if they like it.
Then take action and find an internship or volunteer position in the field of your choice while you are going to college. Do not wait to act. Do not wait until after you graduate. Try as many jobs as you can early, while you are still in college and can change your major if necessary. Get involved with what you want to do as soon as you can.

[edit] Tips
Pick and try out a range of 5-10 jobs you find yourself interested in.
Carefully consider your personal values, and begin to assess potential employers who are also aligned with these values. For example, if you are strongly inclined to grow and reward others, seek employers who are not completely and totally financially focused; rather seek those firms who reward team building and support to other offices or groups, and acknowledge the money is an outcome of success, not the sole reason.

how to switch careers

Making a big career change isn't easy, especially if you've got kids to support, a mortgage to pay, and a car to worry about. But if you've got the motivation, you can do it. Here's how.

[edit] Steps
Tackle the golden question: If you had all the money in the world, what would you be doing with yourself? Don't hold back. This is brainstorming time. Make a list of all the things you'd rather be doing with your time. Your first few answers will probably be something like: Take a tropical vacation, spend more time with the kids, etc. But push your thinking beyond that.
Evaluate your skills and talents. Ask yourself: What am I good at? What do I most enjoy doing? Write down every skill you're capable of. Don't be shy.
Think of jobs that allow you to do what you really want to do, at least in some form, and apply your skills and talents every day. Be creative and open-minded.
Consider your financial situation. How much does it cost, on a monthly and annual basis, to support your current standard of living? Are you willing to lower your standard so that you can take a job that pays less?
Make a list of everything you want in your new job, and one of everything you don't.
Browse job descriptions in your desired field. Visit a site like Salary.com to find out how much you can expect to earn in your new career. (However, do realize that Salary.com is NOT the source businesses use to set salaries- they use services that survey other businesses. Salary.com just shows a possible average of salaries and is a decent general place to start for career info.) Also refer to the Occupational Outlook Handbookto see how competitive the job market may be.
Check local schools for courses and programs that may give you an edge. Start taking night classes while you're still at your current job. Establish rapport with your teacher - he or she will prove to be a valuable reference when you're applying for a new job.
Volunteer for organizations related to your desired career. For example, if you want to work in architecture, volunteer for Habitat for Humanity, which builds houses for disadvantaged families. You get experience, and they get a helping hand!
Network. Talk to people in your desired field. Explain your situation. Ask them for advice. Give them your contact information. If what they say is true - "It's not what you know, it's who you know" - then cover all your bases in this department.
Save enough money to support you for 3-6 months, or however long you think it'll take to find a job in your new career that'll support you adequately.
Write a new resume. Make sure you include your objectives (based on step 1), education (step 6) and relevant experience (step 7). See also How to Write a Resume.
Start your job search and good luck!

[edit] Tips
Most people's deepest vocational passions fall within three categories: teaching, healing, and creating. If your focus in your career is on doing one of these three things, you're far more likely to draw satisfaction from your job.
Having a spouse with a steady job makes switching careers a lot easier, but is by no means necessary. You should, however, seek the moral support of friends and family.
Consider donating your time for free if your new chosen profession enables this, to help you gain some experience and meet people in the field.
Consider shifting roles within your workplace to give you a more rewarding experience.
