Job Seekers - GET OUT

By Meredith Masse

Job Vacancy Indonesia, Employee, Vacancy   

If you're like most job seekers, you're spending your day searching job boards, sending your resume fiendishly to anything that looks close to what you might want to do and crossing your fingers that someone...ANYONE... will just call you in for an interview.

My friends, it's time for a change. First... So you're feeling a little... let's face it... unmotivated, maybe bordering on apathetic. It happens to all of us at one time or another so first, please know: YOU ARE COMPLETELY NORMAL. You're allowed to have your feelings, and I always encourage family, friends and clients alike to REALLY FEEL them. What you're going through right now is no fun to say the least. But I also would not be doing my job and fulfilling my mission if I were to let you stay there too long. So this is your official kick in the pants. Get up. No, really, right now. Stretch. Take three deep mind-clearing breaths. And set your mind to GET OUT. Out of your doldrums AND out from behind that computer. That's right: it's time to DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

"GET OUT? BUT WHERE?" My strongest recommendation for your "theme" for the next month:

GET OUT! Step away from the computer and get your face out there in front of people who can hire you, recommend you, refer you. Some ideas (and I and other readers welcome your comments below with more suggestions!):

CHECK THE CHAMBER. Does your local Chamber do ribbon cuttings for new members? You will find attendees to these events aren't the typical cast and crew of most networking events. Go and be ready to introduce yourself to all the new faces.

ATTEND GRAND OPENINGS. Keep an eye out for the businesses that are opening their doors at grand opening events. Again, not the usual cast of characters and a great way to meet the people from the surrounding businesses. Open houses, too. If you know of businesses holding open houses, go! For all the same reasons noted above.

GET SOME CLASS. Go to a computer class, a LinkedIn class, a class related to your hobby (art, cooking, wine tasting, pottery, quilting, golf, exercise, fly fishing...), something that engages your brain, helps you learn a new or keep up a skill, gets you into a space with others who are doing the same. The trick is you cannot be shy. Again, introduce yourself and start to make new connections.

"MEET UP." Love hiking? Speaking a foreign language? Check local "meet-ups" in your area to find like-minded people who enjoy the same activities you do. You'll have one thing instantly in common and may find that will accelerate the ice breaking to start talking about how you can support one another in other ways. You support them with what they need; they'll support you in your job search.

VOLUNTEER. Everyone and their grandmother will tell you that volunteering is a great resume builder and that volunteers often have the first "in" for positions as they are available. ("Duh," Meredith.) But I'm talking about volunteering for the sheer joy of helping someone (or some "thing," cause, crusade, etc.) else other than yourself. Go give to someone else selflessly for a day. Consider volunteering for a cause where you stay busy helping others and focus on their challenges rather than your own. Helping others gives you the satisfaction of knowing you are making a difference in the world. That alone will elevate your mood. And don't ignore those other volunteers. Have I said it enough? Introduce yourself and really connect with the other volunteers. You never know who they know.

GO TO LUNCH. Schedule lunch with former colleagues, community connections, employed friends and others who might know people you need to know who can help in your search. Buy them lunch (or coffee) in exchange for time to tap their expertise. Tapping into their ego in this way works. EVERYONE loves to be asked for their expert $0.02 and advice. Everyone. And it gets you out of the house. Be prepared with specifics you want to ask about. Make the most of your time and theirs. In the process you're starting to create champions and advocates for " Cause: You."

ASK. All this "getting out" is all very well and good, but make the most of it and ask people with whom you are developing these relationships for help with exactly what you need: introductions and referrals. Get specific: "I would love to meet anyone who works in XYZ industry, ABC company or holds 123 position in an organization. Do you know someone like that you could introduce me to?" Or "I saw an opening at ACME Company and remember you mentioning you knew people there. Would you help me be get my resume in front of some people there?"

FOLLOW-UPING. My friend TC (Very Direct Marketing) coined the term to replace that nasty "c-c" word we all hate (Cold-calling). As you GET OUT and build your "database" (little black book, contacts in your Blackberry, friends on Facebook, connections on LinkedIn), you have to stay in touch. Contact them at least once a month to stay top of mind (another favorite TC-ism) and remind them how they can hep you. This includes your best friend's mother, the manicurist at the salon where you get your hair done even if she doesn't do your nails, the guy at Goodyear who changes the oil in your car, your favorite bartender and her manager.

"WHY BOTHER?" BECAUSE NETWORKING WORKS. "But, Meredith, I hate networking." Maybe this will help motivate you to change your mind:

• 75-85% of job openings are never published on those job boards you so love to spend your time on.
• Even better, 70-80% of job seekers report finding their "next position" through networking.

Enough said?

"WHAT DO I NEED?" A eye catching - kick butt - top of mind resume! Even with all the social media in the world, you still have to have a resume. Consider it your personal brochure that answers, "What's in it for me if I hire you?" every hiring manager is asking. ( Resume help here! ) A decent 30-second "commercial" describing what you're looking for, what you offer and how others can help. Again, the more specific, the easier it is for people to know how to help you. Personal business cards. Yes, get business cards even if there's no company and title to put on them yet. Include all your contact information and consider using the space on the back of the card to put some "promotional" wording about why YOU are the best one for the job. VistaPrint.com has a nice selection of FREE business cards. You pay shipping. A little courage. I promise, with practice, it gets easier.

Again, step away from the computer. And when you do, report back here! Tell us about your successes. Recall your funniest snafus. Let us help you refine your networking techniques to help you land that job faster!

Aircraft Mechanic - Career Courses

By Renata McGee


Job Vacancy Indonesia, Employee, Vacancy 

Working equipment on aircrafts is the number one priority when it comes to flight safety. All aspects of an aircraft are vital to the success of a flight. Students can enter a career as an aircraft mechanic after completing a schooling program from a vocational college.

To gain a further understanding of the career students can research typical vocational programs and their curriculums. An aircraft mechanic program or often referred to as avionics technician program can be entered at numerous schools. In the process of working through focused courses students learn to be specialized repair technicians. The goal of education is to prepare students to perform repairs, maintenance, and inspections of an aircraft. Courses hone in on the ability for mechanics to recall information so they can install, manage, and remove equipment. Different aspects of the field are looked at in separate courses. Coursework inside a vocational degree may include:

• Aircraft Electrical Systems
• Autopilot Systems
• Avionics Maintenance
• Calibration Equipment

Vocational colleges offer students these courses and more inside a certificate or associate's degree program. The integration of these courses is centered on providing students with the educational background to service aircrafts. Troubleshooting potential problem areas and ensuring that the structure of an aircraft is sound and ready for flight are the two main ways mechanics perform service. Students can expect to learn the entire mechanical process after completing a program. General courses taken inside a vocational program teach students the maintenance needed to maintain an aircraft.

Courses vary depending on the school and program selected but most include courses like:

*Aircraft Electrical Systems

Introductory concepts are introduced that include alternative and direct power currents. The circuits and voltage used are emphasized so students understand how to fix electrical systems inside aircrafts. After a basic foundation is laid students apply their knowledge to the operation of an aircraft. Understanding the power behind operation is how students learn to fix aircrafts when they cease to work or malfunction.

*Maintenance Procedure

Due to the regulation standards set forth by the Federal Aviation Administration students are required to adhere to these standards in the classroom and in the workplace. This type of course examines how to inspect, manage, and report all maintenance completed. Students learn to keep records of all work conducted to ensure that repairs are done according to code and the specific technical requirements of aircrafts.

*Communication Maintenance

The ability for a pilot to communicate is essential for safe travel. Students work to understand the systems of an aircraft and how to fix them when they fail. The main system is explored to train students to repair the electronics part so pilots can successfully send out messages to their control tower.

The knowledge gained inside a program is vital to the work done in the professional world. Students can study the mechanics of an aircraft by first exploring the different schooling options and entering accredited program. Programs and their concentrated courses center on giving students the proper knowledge to go from the classroom to the field. Full accreditation is provided by agencies like the Council on Aviation Accreditation ( http://www.aabi.aero/ ) to programs that offer the best quality education. Students can make this transition smoothly by completing a program in aircraft mechanics.

Tips For Hiring Your 1st Employee

By Ken Sundheim

Job Vacancy Indonesia, Employee, Vacancy  

As a small business owner, hiring your first employee is typically quite exciting as it alludes to the fact that you are doing well and are doing what every business should be - growing. Since employees can make or break a company, you want to start out on the right foot and, thus use this person to further build your business.

Though, keep in mind that you should not be hiring employees just because you think that having an employee is prestigious or that it looks good for clients. Ensure that business is coming in at a steady pace before you go through with the aforementioned search.

How to Find Employees Without Incurring High Fees
Unless you've allotted a fair amount of money to this search and you need somebody very specific, there are cheaper routes one can through rather than using a recruiting agency. Unless you have someone in mind for the job and can network, there are cheaper ways to find what you are looking for.

First, you can buy a Monster or Yahoo posting package which will run you a few hundred dollars, but if you find the right person via the route, the return on investment ought to be quite sound.

Then, there is the obvious Craigslist, though you are less likely to find what you are looking for through this medium. Linked-In is free and can also be effective. Last, and this is a route many don't think to go through, you can contact local universities and they should allow you to post the jobs for free.

You Have to Sell Them As Much As They Have to Sell You
For any employee, working for a start-up organization is risky as they don't know whether or not they will find themselves back on the job market in a few months with a resume that now reads less employment stability than it had prior to coming to your company. How do you sell them on the position? There are a few ways.

Make Them See Your Vision, But Be Honest
Upon meeting with the job candidates, be prepared to paint a vision as to where the company is going, how it is currently doing financially and describe as to what you wish to do with the firm. Conversely, if you tell them that you are sitting on the next Google and throw out lofty goals that you can't back up, people are going to shy away.

Have a Firm Game Plan
Prior to meeting with the applicants, have a salary and a job description set up. For a small business, since so much needs to get done, this can be somewhat difficult. Even so, try your best to be as specific as possible.

Give Them a Certain Amount of Autonomy
Even though a candidate resume may read "Sales," as a leader, you should challenge them regarding all aspects of the business. Small businesses have limited resources when it comes to hiring a first employee. In time, take a serious look at their capabilities and use all of them to your advantage. Not only will this help you, it will make the job much more interesting for the employee which means, among other factors, increased productivity.

Thinking of a Career Change - Oil and Gas Recruitment

By Paul B Smith

Job Vacancy Indonesia, Employee, Vacancy

At some point, everyone considers a change in career. That may be through personal choice - perhaps your current job no longer presents you with enough of a challenge to maintain your interest. Or it could be through forced redundancy and a wish to pursue a different path. Maybe you're just tired of the same old nine to five desk job. For anyone thinking of a career change that could lead to advancement, new skills training and a decent pay packet at the end of the month, the oil and gas industry is worth serious consideration.

A complex and multi-faceted industry

Oil and gas jobs don't just mean working on a rig or drilling platform. The industry is a complex and multi-faceted one, filled with opportunities for both the outdoor type and those who prefer not to get their hands too dirty. Oil and gas exploration involves a huge 'backroom' operation including environmental surveying, personnel management, recruitment and rig jobs. While the image of the industry may be of men in hard-hats and gloves wrestling with heavy machinery, the truth is that the oil and gas industry is a modern business, tackling a wide range of issues and challenges.

The main draw for many into oil and gas jobs is the pay. Even entry-level positions bring with them salary advantages that you will not find in other, less challenging industries. This is particularly true for younger applicants joining the industry on the lowest rungs. The additional benefit of rapid advancement for those who show an aptitude for the job means that moving up to more highly skilled and highly paid jobs within the industry is much more achievable in a relatively short space of time.

Know who to talk to

But it pays to know who to talk to. Oil and gas recruitment agencies specialise purely in jobs within the industry, and have the ability to place suitable candidates into the right positions. They also have the contacts within the industry and are able to know what's available and when. From degree-level candidates to those with fewer qualifications but a willingness to work hard, oil and gas recruitment agencies can marry up the right person with the right job.

For those who are willing to work away from home for a while and to put in long hours, the rewards are great. Rig teams develop close bonds with one another, and although rig work can be hard and sometimes dangerous, a camaraderie develops that you are unlikely to find in other industries. For those more interested in research and development, the industry is constantly looking at new ways to extend the planet's natural resources and extract them as cleanly and efficiently as possible. So research and development is a key area of employment within the industry, offering degree-level candidates life-long careers that are challenging and interesting.

The result is an industry that actively encourages new ideas, new talent and presents new opportunities for those looking for a career, rather than 'just a job'. With new fields constantly being opened up, this wealth of opportunity looks set to continue for a long time to come and those who want to be a part of it would be well advised to consider looking at a career in the oil and gas industry.

Such employees create a positive atmosphere around them and do not say" I cannot". The positive atmosphere in their work space encourages the others also to work well.

Strong Work Ethic

Ethics is very important in terms of an employee. They must be hard working and that is what any employee will look forward to. The employee must finish his job and then move to the other one rather than being just enthusiastic and keep jumping from one work to the other without completing any of them.

Motivate and Initiate

The majority of employees just indulge in the on time work finish it and when it is time to go they leave. There is no use for the company as well as himself with such a behavior. Initiative must be taken and also motivate the others to do the works or even take the leadership and guide others. The employee himself should approach his upper level and ask for the other jobs rather than to wait and do what they just ask to do. He must also find creative solutions.

Reliability

The skills, talents and the behavior of the employee must make the employer believe that the employee is reliable and can be trusted for any work. Reliability not only refers to the honesty of the person but also the ability to finish a work in time.

The personal phone calls can be avoided during work time and also the usage of the company phones for personal use should not be there.

Punctuality

On time to work and finishing a work in time refers to the punctuality. The employee must inform his superior if in case it will get late and should not take advantage of it.

Tips For Designing Workshops

By Sharon Tappenden

Job Vacancy Indonesia, Employee, Vacancy    

Being flexible is a great place to start when designing a training workshop for your business. Here are some tips to help get you started.

It is easy to create an effective format on which to base your workshop that will deliver maximum learning, development, team building and problem solving. Firstly think about your team and your aim for the workshop.

What are the outcomes you want to achieve? Why not consider making your workshop a true team effort and encourage those who will be participating to contribute ideas and suggestions beforehand. By doing this you will:

• create interest
• encourage commitment
• cultivate curiosity

You may wish to promote productivity when running the workshop by splitting the team up into pairs or small groups of 3. You will achieve a much better opportunity for interaction and ideas by doing this.

However, if you do choose to work with groups of 4 or more, you must appoint a leader to the team to avoid the possibility of discussions collapsing into chaos. Group leaders will guide the group and facilitate an even balance of participation, ideas, debate and results.

Dynamic interaction is the key to a great workshop and you will always achieve this by way of a paper flip chart and colored marker pens for each group. Individuals will easily be able to communicate effectively and efficiently with each other via the use of diagrams, charts, bullet point lists and descriptions of their ideas using the flip chart.

Try to avoid the use of laptops and projectors as they are notoriously impersonal and in many instances have been known to cause 'day dreaming'.

Flip chart paper and marker pens on the other hand are definitely a dynamic way of expressing individual and group ideas. Each piece can be torn off and hung up strategically in the room for other groups to identify with, review and remark on.

It is worth taking into consideration that some people will prefer to communicate in different ways such as role-playing, discussions/debates, or via computer programs. So it will be helpful for you to assess your participants prior to conducting the workshop, so as to get the best participation level from each attendee. This way you will be maximizing your potential results and outcomes for your business or franchise.

Tips On Hiring A Great Freelance Writer

By Debbie Panell

Job Vacancy Indonesia, Employee, Vacancy 

  

Do an Internet search on "hiring a freelance writer" or anything similar, and you will find millions of links to job boards, freelance writer sites, message boards and all sorts of other trails to lead you to various sources. You will find freelance writers, no doubt about that, but what kind of writer are they? Are they fluent in English (American English is very different than British English), do they do the work themselves or outsource it? Do they charge per piece or per word? What is their turnaround time? How do they handle revisions?

These are things you may not have considered, other than price.

Most people and companies that hire freelance writers have learned these lessons the hard way. So, in an effort to save you some money, as well as time, I am going to give you some pointers!

* When you contact a freelance writer for the first time, or post a project on a job board, give the details of what you are looking for! One writer may be terrific at SEO and keyword content, but if you want more of an opinion or humor piece this writer may not be ideal for you! If you give the details (topic, keywords, length) upfront, the writer will be able to assess your needs and quote you a price accordingly. I turn down projects on a regular basis - not because I like turning down money, but rather because if it is a topic totally foreign to me, or one I think will be better written by a specialist in that area, I will tell you. I would rather refer you to another writer and be remembered as the writer who was professional and you want to come back to do a different project with in the future, then take the project and do a horrible job, earn a lousy reputation and have a dissatisfied customer!

* How do you intend to pay your freelance writer? I, along with most freelancers, prefer Paypal. Many established, reputable writers will require a deposit. Don't let this scare you. My deposit has been as low as $5 and as high as $2000. I am most likely to charge a deposit if I have not worked with you in the past, if it is a large project or if you failed to pay me for a previous job (in which case the total amount is due upfront). If you are a company which pays only by check, make sure you give the company contact information to the writer you choose to hire.

* Should you pay by the word or by the piece? It depends on the individual writer. I do both, depending on the client and my mood. Most of my work though, is by the word - and I charge between 10 cents and 30 cents per word. This is not uncommon for a quality freelance writer who is experienced, educated and takes pride in their work. If you have a budget, give a word limit (which you should anyways, otherwise you'll either end up with a thesis or a five sentence article!)

* Why should you pay $50 for an article, when you can buy one for $1.50? Once you have purchased a $1.50 article, you will have your answer. Quite often, super low rates are a sign of overseas outsourcing (meaning your article will sound as though its been written by a foreigner and the grammar, while perhaps technically correct, feels "weird") or it is a new freelance writer who has no clue what they are doing. I can say that, because I've been there. You want a writer who knows what they are doing, knows how to provide superior customer service and meet a deadline and knows how to write clearly.

* Ask about revisions! Many writers charge a fee for any revisions you request. I do not, unless you want a totally new piece written. But if the changes you want made are relatively simple, and are not going to take all day, they are included in my price.

* RIGHTS! Unless you SPECIFICALLY state in a contract that you as the buyer retain all copyright to the work, the writer is allowed to sell the work to someone else. If this is important to you, make sure you specify rights privileges in your contract!

Full Time Employee

Job Vacancy Indonesia, Employee, Vacancy

 

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) does not define full time employee or part time employee. What is counted as a full time employee is generally defined by the employer by policy. The definition of a full time employee is often published in the employee handbook.
A full time employee has traditionally worked a 40 hour work week with the expectation that exempt employees will work the hours necessary to accomplish their jobs. Non-exempt employees must be paid overtime for time worked in excess of 40 hours. Today, some employers count employees as full time if they work 30, 32, or 36 hours a week. In fact, fewer required work hours is considered a non-standard benefit in some organizations.
In many organizations, one differentiation between full time and part time employees is eligibility for benefits such as health insurance, paid time off (PTO), paid vacation days, and sick leave. Some organizations enable part time employees to collect a pro-rated set of benefits. In other organizations, part time status makes an employee ineligible for any benefits.

Working and Communicating Online

By Jacci Howard Bear

Job Vacancy Indonesia, Employee, Vacancy

Can you run a business, including a desktop publishing or graphic design business, without ever leaving home? Email, Web-based services, online shopping, and net conferencing have changed the way businesses and customers communicate.

Reach potential clients almost anywhere in the world with your Web site and targeted email marketing. In some cases, a Web-based portfolio and email can replace face-to-face meetings both at the initial stage and throughout the design process. When a client needs "hard copy" samples of your work, there's always the regular mail — and you can do that from your desktop too.

Instead of phone tag, communicate quickly with new clients through email. You can even transmit documents such as contracts using Internet fax services. In some cases, instant messaging such as ICQ or AIM can provide useful real-time communication with clients or business partners.

There's no need to limit yourself to local service bureaus and printers. Get printing quotes online. Transmit files electronically and follow up with faxed proofs or laser proofs shipped through a company such as Federal Express, which offers pickup and online tracking of packages. Exchange samples and proofs with clients using email attachments. The PDF format is ideal for this purpose.

When you or the client need more interaction video conferences and electronic white boards allow you to transmit images, markup documents, and discuss projects almost as if you were sitting together in your office.

Although the technology makes it possible, is it practical? There are obstacles to overcome.

• Online advertising may not be able to reach your target audience.
• Not everyone is proficient at or comfortable with sending or opening email attachments, sending/receiving faxes, or using conferencing software.
• You or your clients may not have the minimum software/hardware requirements for video conferencing and other cutting-edge (or basic) technologies.
• Not limited to online encounters, file incompatibilities can crop up at anytime — different versions of the same program and cross-platform issues can be especially frustrating for a potential customer not accustomed to these problems.
• Some people are simply uncomfortable working with someone sight unseen.
• Email, fax, and delivery may be fast but it is impersonal. The phone can personalize communications but not being able to pop over to the printer or drop off a proof and discuss it in-person can be frustrating.
• Due to the overwhelming growth of spam and email-transmitted viruses, email can be troublesome, especially for clients who are not up-to-speed on the latest spam filters and virus protection software.

If you are willing to take the time and initiative to develop reliable Internet skills, have the patience to work with the technology, teach reluctant clients, and pursue long-distance relationships with clients, printers, and other suppliers then yes, you could run a design business without (hardly) ever leaving home.

Any suggestions for working from home providing SEO services?

By Lahle Wolfe

Job Vacancy Indonesia, Employee, Vacancy

Question: Any suggestions for working from home providing SEO services?

A WIB forum poster asks: "I am looking for a new work from home job that is not a gimmick. I want to stay home with the kids. I do some freelance web design, but not enough to make a go of it. I'd like to work on some SEO projects, or maybe do some freelance writing. Any suggestions?"
Answer: In a "keyword:" specialize.

I own an SEO business and focus on serving the unique needs of attorneys and nonprofit organizations because I have extensive business experience in both areas.

Local businesses are so competitive they often want more than one-time SEO work, they want monthly services to stay on top of their game. But to get local businesses on board, you must appear as an expert in their area of business.

If you are knowledgeable, passionate, and excel at anything in particular - even in "just" being a mom, focus your SEO services website on that particular area to get started. For example, day care centers, child advocacy groups, mom support groups, etc.

SEO consultants - experts who teach corporations how to manage their own websites - earn $100 to $1,000 per hour. So if you are not interested in doing all the SEO work yourself (which, as you know is incredibly research and labor intensive) consider offering consulting services.

As you probably know, the SEO service industry keyword competition is incredibly fierce because of all the scam service providers polluting the Internet. Your own business will stand a greater chance of coming up solidly in search engine queries if you specialize in a particular industry or type of service than if you simply offer general "SEO Services."

It is very important that your own SEO business site perform well in search engines because your clients will assume if you cannot get results for your own business, you will not likely do a good job for them either.

Read my interview with an SEO industry guru, John Barremore, who specializes providing in web services for dentists. He has great advice about what to look for in an SEO company.

Benefits and Perks

By Alison Doyle

Job Vacancy Indonesia, Employee, Vacancy

For many of us, the most important factor in considering a job offer is salary. For others, job security is of primary importance. Also high on the list of considerations are benefits and perks. When considering perks, the desire to work in a comfortable, casual environment where employees can set their own work schedule, have an option to telecommute, and where there is a a casual dress code, are all important.

Typical Employee Benefit Packages

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics the average number of annual paid holidays is 10. The average amount of vacation days are 9.4 after a year of service. Almost half the (medium and large) employers surveyed offered either a defined benefit or a defined contribution pension plan. About 75% offered health insurance but, almost as many, required some employee contribution towards the cost. It's not hard to look at the averages and see how your employer or your job offer measures up. What complicates matters is the increasing use of bonuses, perks and incentives by employers to recruit and retain employees. Look at the companies rated the best places to work and you'll discover many offer health club memberships, flexible schedules, day care, tuition reimbursement, and even on-site dry cleaning.

Surveys by Ceridian have found 65 percent of employers believe that perks help to attract employees. The average number of perks offered by companies range from 3.38 perks at the smallest employers to to 5.20 perks at firms with over 5000 employees. A sure sign that employers are paying attention to the importance of added benefits is the fact that the most frequently offered perks mirror the most frequently desired perks - casual dress and flexible work hours. Some companies even offer a few options that I wasn't aware of on the list including bringing your pet to work, concierge services and take home meals.

How to Evaluate Perks

As you can see there is no standard list of perks that you can measure your job offer against. What you'll need to do is evaluate each offer on it's merits - the salary, the benefits and the perks, and determine how those perks will benefit you. If you don't plan on having children for a while or if your children are grown, it's not that important whether on-site child care is offered. Parents should check to see if the company provides paid time-off if your child is sick. It's a benefit I couldn't have done without when my daughter was a baby!

If you absolutely have to work-out every day, look for employers who offer a gym membership. Not a morning person? Ask about flexible hours. Can't stand wearing a suit? Ask about dress code. And it is important to ask, not all perks will be offered to all employees nor will they be mentioned during an interview. Consider which perks would complement your life style and your needs and choose accordingly.

Effective Meetings Produce Results: Tips for Meeting Management

By Susan M. Heathfield

Job Vacancy Indonesia, Employee, Vacancy

After the Meeting to Ensure Effective Meetings

Actions and planning before and during the meeting play a big role in helping you achieve expected, positive, and constructive outcomes. Your actions following the meeting are just as crucial. Follow-up at the next scheduled meeting is never enough of an investment to ensure results.

Publish Meeting Minutes

Begin by publishing your minutes and action plan within 24 hours. People will most effectively contribute to results if they get started on action items right away. They still have a fresh memory of the meeting, the discussion and the rationale for the chosen direction. They remain enthusiastic and ready to get started. A delay in the distribution of minutes will hurt your results since most people wait for the minutes to arrive before they begin to tackle their commitments.

Effective Meeting Follow-up

Respecting and observing deadlines and follow-up will help you achieve results from your meetings. The deadline was established during the meeting. Following the meeting, each person with an action item should also make a plan for their personal accomplishment of their commitment. Whether they write the steps in their planner, delegate the tasks to another staff person, or just complete the task, the individual is responsible for follow-up.

So is the meeting planner. You can improve meeting results by following up with each person who has an action item mid-way between meetings. Your goal is to check progress and ensure that tasks are underway. Remember that what you ask about gets accomplished.

Accountability for Follow-up during the Next Meeting

Have you ever sat in a follow-up meeting that consisted of each participant telling the group why they were unable to accomplish their commitment? I have, and the result is deplorable. Establishing the norm or custom of accountability for results begins early in your meeting cycle.

Follow-up by the facilitator mid-way between meetings helps, but the group must make failure to keep commitments unacceptable. Report on progress and outcomes at the next meeting and expect that all will have been accomplished. Alternatively, check progress at the next meeting and if there is a real roadblock to progress, determine how to proceed.

Debrief the Meeting Process for Continuous Improvement

The practice of debriefing each meeting is a powerful tool for continuous improvement. Participants take turns discussing what was effective or ineffective about the current meeting process. They also discuss the progress they feel the group is making on the topic of the meeting.

Taking continuous improvement to another level, successful teams debrief their entire project as well as the process to determine how effectively they managed to create results. Future meetings reflect the evaluation. Meetings evolve as an even more effective tool for creating organization results.

Conclusion

Results are achievable and predictable from well-planned and implemented meetings. Follow these twelve recommendations to ensure that meeting attendees achieve expected, positive, and constructive outcomes from the time invested in meetings.

Best Holiday Season Job SearchTips For Temporary Retail Jobs in the 2009

By Barbara Farfan

Job Vacancy Indonesia, Employee, Vacancy

Temporary retail holiday jobs are usually filled by students and teachers on break, people who want to earn extra money for gifts, and those who just want to buy stuff with their employee discount. In 2009, though, the usual holiday retail temp will be competing with 15 million people who aren't looking for holiday money, they're looking for rent and food money. A larger pool of candidates will be competing for a smaller number of temporary retail holiday positions in 2009, and the competition will be fierce.

The retail job seekers in the 2009 holiday season will need creativity, salesmanship, and a competitive advantage to land one of the coveted retail temp positions. These tips will help job seekers find the temporary holiday openings, and once located, land the job.

Holiday Retail Job Search Tip #1
Go Where the Jobs Are

Luxury stores are struggling, discount stores are thriving. Electronics sales are expected to be up this holiday season, retail specialty apparel sales are expected to be flat. Some retailers are opening new stores before the end of the year. Some retailers are struggling to keep their chains open. Do your homework, and save yourself some time by going where the jobs are.

Holiday Retail Job Search Tip #2
Get Out of the Mall

Not all retail holiday spending is done in a mall. While people will probably not be spending as much on gifts in the upcoming holiday, they will still be making extra food purchases for traditional holiday meals, treats, and parties. Grocery stores often hire temporary seasonal employees to handle their business increases. Temporary seasonal job openings might be less competitive at grocery stores because job hunters often forget about them.

Holiday Retail Job Search Tip #3
Apply Early, Follow Up Often

Retailers already had a stack of resumes before they had any open positions. You need to get your resume into the stack as soon as possible and keep it near the top of the stack by following up with your potential employers regularly. Persistence is a positive quality to demonstrate. Pestering is not.

Holiday Retail Job Search Tip #4
Retool Your Resume

If your resume was created to help you get a job in the financial services sector, the travel industry, the tech industry or anything other than retail, then it needs to be retooled to focus on skills and experience that match the needs of your potential retail employer. Customer service, sales, and cash handling skills are what retailers need during a busy holiday season. If you have any training or experience in any of those areas, then they need to be emphasized on your resume. Everything else should be deemphasized or removed altogether.

Holiday Retail Job Search Tip #5
Ask for the Job That Nobody Else Wants

In the holiday season, the need for late night and early morning stocking employees increases. If you specifically request those shifts, you will position yourself as the right fit for a hard-to-fill position. Of course you'll need to actually be able and willing to work those hours or else you will quickly find yourself job hunting again.

Holiday Retail Job Search Tip #6
Show Respect For the Retail Profession

Working in a retail store may be your last resort, but hiring you is not a retailer's last resort. The retail sector has lost 868,000 jobs since the beginning of the recession, and many of those displaced workers actually want a retailing career. Retailing is a profession, not a pastime, and now more than ever retailers want employees who will respect and appreciate their jobs. Nobody likes to feel like the consolation prize.
