How I Found A Lot Of Jobs In My Area

Tuesday, January 6th, 2009

Welcome to Get Ur Dream Job. I’ve made this site because I didn’t know how to find jobs in my area that matched my education and career plan.

Unemployment isn’t fun. I have tried it myself for some years. I have a History Degree, and I have tried different things in my working life, but there were no jobs in my area for a Historian. I didn’t want to move to get a job because I have a family. It’s not easy to make your family life and working life come together, right? Therefore I wanted a job in my local area. I checked the job listings all the time but there were no jobs. You can easily have experienced the same problem. I started looking a little more around the working places in my area. I made a research among the different businesses, industries and state offices to see if they needed a person with my qualifications. There were a lot of jobs that I felt could manage. There were hundreds of jobs in my area every month, just as there are in your local area. Maybe you’re just looking in all the wrong places, like I did. I also find out that there were a lot of high paying jobs hiring in my neighborhood. Real jobs in my area, almost to good to be true.

Job Interview Guide

Now I have found my dream job just a few blocks away, as a recruit agent. It is a huge advantage because I know the area so well and thereby also many of the people with whom we do business. Just get started finding your own dream job in your area! The secret is to look for jobs “outside the box”, you might be the right person for jobs you can’t imagine. But how do I do that, you might think. First of all your resume should convince the employee that you can manage the job. Tell them why you fit the job description perfectly. The next thing you know you’ve been called in for a job interview and now you have the “foot in the door” and you can sell yourself face-to-face. But you have to prepare yourself for the interview and those ‘tricky’ questions and situations.

Social Networking Can Get You Your Dream Job

Sunday, August 24th, 2008

The point of this article about social networking is to help you to the next level and show you what this amazing subject has to offer.

No matter why type of job or career you have, social networking is a good idea. It used to be that most did this sort of thing over the produce section of the grocery store, or at the local bar happy hour. Some did this at church, and often communities would have activities and events meant to draw people together. Most networking was about meeting people and striking up a conversation. Today, this can also be done online, but some wonder if it has the same affect as in-person communication.

There is something impersonal about talking with people online. Though many can meet their mates there, or form wonderful friendships, this is done online first, but always then goes personal either via phone or meeting in person. The same should be said for social networking. I cant think that I would offer someone information about a position I had heard about just because they were my friend on a social networking site. Its possible I suppose, but it would have to be a very strong connection between the two of us.

If you feel that you have not learned anything new thus far, there is a whole new realm of information in the rest of this article.

If your purpose for having a space on a site like Myspace is work related, you should really think about what you put on that site. Most aren’t aware that contacts and potential employers often use these sites to see what a person is really like before they decide if they want to hire them. If you have pictures of wild parties and even some other types of very questionable pictures up on social networking sites, and your potential employer sees them, you may have just talked yourself out of a very good job. Its good to remember that nothing is private when online.

There’s nothing wrong with responsible social networking online, but make sure you do it in person as well. People are losing touch with their communities, and I find that I am a bit guilty of this as well. Online contacts are great, but you have to have friends and contacts in your town as well. This means you have a network that supports you when those online are no where near when you need help or support. You may even find it to be a huge relief to get off the computer and find some friends the old fashioned way. You may find more people out there just like you, that have lost touch and want some in person friendships to balance out their lives.

Share the information that you have learned about social networking, with your friends and family. They will be impressed by your knowledge and happy to learn something new too.
