How To Find A Job
"THANK YOU for creating the site, since it helped me get on the right track and finally find the strength to get out of the gang lifestylez." Hellfire In today's economy how to find a job is a challenge for a lot of people. Combining the expertise of Lil Miss P and her series "Knowing How" we will be covering all the aspects of how to find a job as well as including other helpful articles and even the ability to submit your details so that you can have a resume created. Questions about finding a jobNew Websites For Job SeekersThe Number One Mistake Job Seekers Make?Career Profile: Fashion Buyer, Designer, or MerchandiserHelping you to choose a career Lil Miss P runs down another profession….Are you the kind of person that always looks stylish? Are you the one that everybody goes to find out fashion advice, or sees in the latest trends? There is a whole... Career Profile: ChefIt’s amazing that people can make a career out of cooking. It goes beyond working at a restaurant (though that is a great job too!) to setting your sights on a formal cooking career. Believe it or not, professional chefs can make very good... Career Profile: Publicist/Public Relations ExecutiveUnlike publicity, which focuses on communicating with the media for the sole purpose of coverage of people, companies, products, etc., marketing is the overall umbrella of how a company or person portrays and promotes themselves — the look/feel, the messaging, the interaction, etc. and then overseeing and participating — but not necessarily running — advertising and publicity. Career Profile: Publicist/Public Relations ExecutiveTo let the media know what is going on, many companies, politicians, personalities, celebrities, etc. will work with publicists or publicity firms. The firms work to take news and updates out to the media to help secure coverage of their clients in the press. It’s said that something like 75% of what you read/watch on TV is generated by publicists — probably most of all by entertainment. Hustling Is A Skill That Can Get You Into The Life And Work You WantSomeone once said to me that hustling is a universal skill — something that can be used for good or bad in life. The same skills that may have made someone sharp on the street are the exact same skills that many of the country’s top... How to achieve your goalsLil Miss P returns with another piece on how to achieve your goals... How To Write A Good Cover Letter When Applying For A JobLil Miss P Continues here job finding series with tips on how to write a good cover letter when applying for a job: They say it’s not what you say but how you say it, but when it comes to job hunting and potentially nailing an interview... Can You Be An Entrepreneur? Yes!Miss P continues her series with a look at the possibilities of running your own business… While everybody has to make money to survive and buy the things they need, what we do to make money is entirely up to each of us — and that means the sky is the limit on what we can pick! For some, being an entrepreneur might be the right fit. You’ll work very hard, and sometimes, you’ll have to work even when you don’t want to, but it’s not unlike a high paying job in that sense. Q&A With A Top Employment RecruiterLil Miss P continues her series on how to find a job...all of her posts can be found under our Knowing How section. This past week, I tapped a top employment recruiter who has done work with some of the biggest companies in the world. Here is...Do Not Let Your Past Dictate Your Future — in Work, Life Or Anything ElseToday’s post was inspired by someone who emailed in for help this past week. This one is for you. If I were to speak to the hundreds of thousands of gang members in the country, I would say one thing: You did not deserve to be born into the world you were in. You didn’t ask to be a little baby brought into whatever situation you may have been. It wasn’t your fault that you may have grown up hungry, afraid, hurt, abused, lost, ignored or whatever else may have happened. You were meant to matter, to go on to doing great and big things. Building The Ultimate Resume No Matter What Experience You HaveLil Miss P continue her series on how to find a job, this week looking at Resumes. One of the hardest parts of the job hunting process is creating a good resume. Without it, job candidates can be looked over. A good resume can help you stand out in a tight economy where companies often have upwards of two and five hundred submissions for a single position. It can also be the backdrop to ace an interview once you get in the door — everything they need to know about how fantastic you are is right on paper How to find a job: Making the ChoiceLil Miss P continues her series looking at how you can stick to your plan, be persistent and succeed... I once heard a famous pastor talk about how God writes the plans He has for us on our hearts – that the exact things you wish you could do, the person you feel you could be — are in line with the things God had in mind for you, too. Somehow, somewhere along the line, we can be pushed further and further away from that. Naysayers might discourage you from believing you can be what you feel in your heart of heart’s you can be. Circumstances and situations, such as where you are born or what you have access to, might make it seem impossible. Hottest CareersMy high school had a college and career center that wasn’t very large and unfortunately, didn’t provide much insight or visibility into many careers. I grew up in a smaller town in a suburb of a major city where there... Education That Can Propel Your Career Forward Comes In Many FormsGrowing up, my home life had hit some troubles due to my parents’ divorce and some other problems my parents were having. They were unable to be of much help about college and career even though they wanted to help if they could and were... Finding A Job: You Need The Right SupportOne of the most important things you can do when trying to accomplish a goal or make a change is support. The right kind of mentors, guidance, etc. — and even the right employees and vendors when you own your own company or creating a project — can make all the difference. Not only can good people around you help you find your way, but they can also potentially benefit you in other areas. One of my biggest mentors helped me land some of my early positions that ended up opening up the right doors for my future career. Another made introductions and shared insight that helped catapult my work from there. Whether you’re job hunting to make ends meet or working on building the career of your dreams, the company you keep is important. Here’s how to find the right type of people to help move your goals and ideas. More... "Writing YOUR Vision And Making It Clear"There’s a Bible verse I remember a lot — "Write the vision and make it clear." In other words, create a simple, clear plan of what you want to do ahead. The more that I have gone through various business and work related things, the more this verse has held true. Even if you are not a person of faith, having a good, solid plan of where you’re heading — like a roadmap — is helpful. I’ve seen this come in all forms. Sometimes it can be just a super short list, others make long and elaborate story pages describing their goals and plans. While it’s not intended to be a wish list per say, it is where you can put your biggest goals and dreams — after all, if you’re making a list or writing your vision, you’re already on your way to working towards accomplishing it. I say all the time to people that I mentor that all it takes are these small steps. More... "How To Ace Any Interview"One of the biggest things I do before everything major in my life, be it a first date to a major business meeting, is take a little time and think about how I want to handle that situation. When it’s something fun or personal, it could be remembering to put work behind me. For a major business meeting, however, it can be as elaborate as jotting down points I want to make to rehearsing what I want to say to prepare. You would be surprised at how much this helps. Not only do I go into situations more confident, but also, if things get a little sidetracked in a meeting it helps me stay focused. If you’re getting ready to interview for a job, take a business meeting, etc. here are the five best ways to prepare: More... Knowing How: Finding a job & identifying your talentsA good future is in youI’m new here. I had a troubled life full of hurt and sadness that I know was very similar to a lot of people that visit this site. But that’s not what I’m going to write about today. That’s because like you, I wanted to move on and those days are behind me. I didn’t get to choose what I was born into or what the past I was given during my childhood but everyday I wake up and I choose what happens next. A long time ago, I vowed to do this and my life has never been the way since. A big part of how I was able to do this was having a vision of what I wanted to do and that didn’t come easily. When you’re not exposed to a lot of options growing up, it’s hard to know what option might be for you. The good news is that the number one clue to finding this is closer than you think. It’s in you. More... More Job ResourcesHow To Get A Job With A Criminal Record from wikiHowWhether you’ve just been released from a lengthy incarceration or you had a minor scrape with the law when you were a kid, a criminal record can be an added source of anxiety in an already stressful job search. Depending on the severity of your offense(s), your criminal record may not affect your employment prospects at all, or it may make finding a job nearly impossible. Still, you have reason to be hopeful. While you may face some hurdles, you will eventually be able to find employment, regardless of your record. More... |
