Have you ever tried to hire employees without posting the job in the newspaper, on the door of your business, or on the Internet? Not doing so makes it difficult to find high quality employees. Not doing so also makes it difficult to fill a position that needs filling quickly. Luckily, there are many different methods in which you can easily post a job. It may be sort of easy to send a classified ad to the local newspaper, but that is something that is slowly becoming obsolete. This is because the Internet has opened up a completely new doorway to how jobs are listed. With the invention of job listings on the Internet, less and less people actually frequent their newspapers when looking for jobs. They go to job seeker sites and look at the listings there. As a matter of fact, that is how a lot of people get their jobs nowadays. The evolution of job listings Let's step back a bit and look at the days in which the newspaper was the only option. People would go through the lists of jo

A personal trainer is a fitness professional who coaches, motivates and instructs clients in exercise, nutrition and healthful living. Trainers can work in a variety of different business places, from cruise ships and health clubs to chiropractors’ offices. They help clients develop goals and a fitness program that will meet their individual needs. A personal trainer is not the same as an ‘athletic trainer’. Athletic trainers are allied health workers who specialize in preventing and treating injuries that are caused by exercise. If you are interested in fitness, have an outgoing personality and are able to motivate others, personal training might just be your perfect career. There are several different routes to becoming a personal trainer. In order to safely instruct clients, trainers should be educated in all facets of exercise physiology and safety. Many four year and vocational colleges offer degree or certificate programs in personal training. There is no nationwide standard r

I am on the precipice of a proverbial cliff. This cliff (which we shall call the cliff of education) is steep but finally I am about to reach the end of my steep climb. For 17 years I have been writing and learning and writing and learning, all in preparation for this single moment. You may have guessed by now but if you haven’t I am talking about finally receiving my hard earned degree. This degree may only be a piece of paper but it symbolises the transition from one phase of my life to the next, in effect shouting ‘it’s time to grow up’ through the paper. Of course I could prolong this stage and start applying for postgraduate and masters qualifications but I know that it is time for me to cast off my cap and gown and enter the world of paid work. Paying over £3000 a year to study has made a big financial hole so getting paid to do work is something that I’m really looking forward to. The only thing I am worried about is what I am going to get a job doing and where. Because I li

Looking for part time jobs as a student was a nightmare. I remember that broke college feeling, that realisation that there was no way you were going to be able survive on £30 EMA a week…and some kids didn’t even get that. Too young and under qualified to get a full time job and too old to rely on mum and dad for handouts, the responsibility of clothing oneself starts to fall heavily upon the shoulders of students everywhere. The options of part time employment open to students are hardly extensive. It’s a cruel, mind numbing world of waitressing, shop attending and dish washing and if it isn’t any of those three you can be pretty much certain that it will be something similarly boring. The best part time job I had at college was at a large restaurant in town called the Meadery. The Meadery was an ‘eat with your fingers’ establishment that usually catered for large groups on business functions, families and the occasional stag and hen party. To pass the time when we weren’t running

The Hospitality Industry, Jobs and News Africa http://www.hospitalityjobsafrica.com The African online recruitment market place is an expanding one, but is currently controlled predominantly large generic job boards, backed by the big international media companies. While this is all good and well, there is still room and much need for smaller specialist and industry specific job boards. The beauty of such sites, would be to add a greater amount of value for the industry to which they are targeting.

According to a recent survey, carried out by Research in Motion (RIM), almost 90 per cent of girls aged between 11 and 16 think that using technology is ‘cool’ and is a regular topic of conversation with friends. In addition, 38 per cent of girls talk about technology, including mobile downloads and social networking, on a daily basis. Great news for an industry experiencing both a chronic shortage in skills and dramatic decline in female workers I hear you cry? Not so. The survey also highlighted that, despite the vast interest as consumers and end users, technology is only considered as a career choice by 28 per cent of girls – compared with 52 per cent of boys. So, where have all the good women gone? What steps need to be taken to help address this gender imbalance? And what are the implications for the skills shortage in the UK? From computer geek to computer chic The IT industry has a serious image problem. For many young women, the idea of working in IT doesn’t top their lis

After doing a multi-media journalism degree I feel as though there are not many jobs that I would not be confident in applying for. Anyone who says that journalism is not a valid degree course should spend a week in my shoes before they start to criticise. However, for prospective employers this is not an option. It is up to me to convince employers that I am worthy of the job in question, I can’t expect brilliant graduate jobs to fall into my lap without any effort. I have set my sights on applying for a job at a notorious intelligence agency. You may ask how a journalism student could possibly be qualified to work in intelligence but I have deduced that I would actually be the perfect candidate…who could be more apt for the task than an investigative journalist, master of inquisition and gatherer of information in order to write interesting, accurate and unbiased reports for others to read. A thorough knowledge on human rights and international relations with a dash of internationa

The petroleum industry, for example, comprises over 200 companies involved in the refinement, distribution and marketing of petroleum. Within this infrastructure, there are varying degrees of input, ranging from the large, multinational oil companies to small, countryside petrol stations. The UK’s nuclear industry provides around 22% of the country’s electricity. Currently this sector employs around 50, 000 people, 15, 000 of whom operate and decommission power stations. With the rising demand for more ecologically-sound implementations, it has been estimated that a further 9,000 engineers and scientists will be required to continue this progress. Nuclear jobs in this industry can require a lot of travel, for example research scientists work in partnership with other scientists from across the globe to develop a power source that also has worldwide effects. On a larger scale, the water industry currently employs around 160,000 people who help to collect, treat and distribute over 16

The government is continuing to invest huge sums into the improvement of existing rail networks and is dedicated to providing a ‘greener’ service by the year 2014, aiming to bring carbon emissions down to an absolute minimum, whilst looking at factors such as trackside biodiversity, reduced intrusion on communities and their landscapes, air quality, noise and vibration levels. There is even research into rainwater harvesting and the use of photovoltaic cells to generate electricity from the sun’s rays. The increase in fuel prices is doing what the government could not and is turning people to the trains for transport to and from work. In addition, with a larger portion of Britons deciding to holiday at home, there is a steady increase in rail use for holiday travel. The UK’s rail industry appears to be an impressively sustainable form as transport, one of which that has a major impact on the nation’s economy. As well as transporting commuters and holiday-makers, it also devotes a sign
