How to Get a Job in India
Posted by James Gunaseelan in Jobs on 03/12/2010
Job opportunities in India are there for the taking, but only if you keep your eyes open and know how to grab them. There are many contractual jobs available in the country, which are a good opportunity for companies and potential employees. As companies grow, so does the need for manpower. And as other employees leave or move on, there will always be a chance for professional growth.
If you are a fresh graduate or have never been employed before, you might not know how to begin your hunt. One way to propel yourself into the career world of India is to look for a consultant. A consultant can help you by evaluating your needs and expectations and provide what services you need in order to take advantage of the contract job that you find. To locate the best consultant in India, here are a few tips.
- Browse through directories on the Internet.
You may be able to find a list of possible consultants online. Through the world wide web, you can browse a little about their qualifications and narrow down your list to about three or five you would like to meet.
- Ask friends or family members.
Usually, it is best to settle for what is tried or tested. People you can trust who have availed of the services of a consultant in the past might want to make a favorable recommendation. They can also tell you how to get in touch with these people faster, and give you tips in maintaining a good relationship with him.
If you manage to locate a good consultant, your career will be in their hands. They will look for the best companies and try to accommodate you in the best position you qualify for. As long as you provide them with an accurate picture of your educational background, former experience, and your skills and capabilities, they are in the best position to assess where your professional starting point should be. They can also give you tips on how to obtain any of your desired jobs.
In most companies, the recruitment process is a long and tricky one. If they are hiring for a big number of positions, you may find that it takes them a long time to contact you. It is hard to follow up your application especially if they are processing a great number of other applicants. A good consultant will do that for you.
Also, with the help of a consultant, you can always find a job that agrees with your preferred schedule. While some people don’t mind working on rotating shifts, you may prefer a day or night job. You may even want to work two jobs or make room for other activities besides work. Going for a contractual job is the best option in this scenario. Some contractual jobs are part-time or have flexible timetables. Also, you have a chance of being regularized eventually depending on your performance and the available openings.
Before you sign any contract, make sure you know specifically what you want. You must have a mental list of what you’re looking for in a job, as well as possible deal-breakers such as a long commute, or expected salary.
Whether you are applying for jobs in India or someplace else, this is consistent: if you have a clear picture of where you want to be, the better are your chances of attaining it. Also, you will be able to ask the right questions in the interview. You would want to sign that job contract with the utmost confidence that you are not apt to breach it.
Getting the perfect job from a list of thousands of India jobs available can be tricky. So before you settle for a job that you think is “good enough”, think again. Read articles about jobs in India and give your self a chance to get the job that’s far greater than “good enough.”
Australia Oil Jobs Are Past the Recession
Posted by Richard Skidmore in Jobs on 03/05/2010
The central Governor of Australia’s bank, Glenn Stevens, is under pressure to begin increasing interest rates, after a marked pause in the country’s economy. The source of these demands is a declaration that Australia is officially beyond the grips of the recent global recession.
Economic Changes
What is certainly making Mr. Stevens’ stance more difficult to maintain is the news that Australia is experiencing the biggest jobs boom since 2005. The rate of employment has increased rapidly since October 2009, pushing levels of unemployment down to 5.3% – the lowest figures seen in almost a year. This is made even more palatable when you take into consideration the government’s prediction that levels of joblessness would peak at around 8.5%. But how has the government managed to evade the disastrous effects of recession that has gripped so tightly in other countries across the globe?
Spend Money to Make Money
Prime Minister Ken Rudd decided to tackle Australia’s impending economic crisis head on. In a bold move, he attempted to stimulate growth in the money markets by distributing more than A$20 billion in cash to consumers. In addition, he allocated a further A$22 billion to be spent on roads, railways and schools. At the same time, Governor Stevens reduced interest rates to the lowest figure seen in 50 years. A combination of these factors, plus the strength of Australia’s dollar abroad seems to have had the rejuvenating effect that Stevens and Rudd were looking for.
What’s the Effect?
The main boost seems to have been felt by the oil industry. With companies such as Chevron Corp. now looking for skilled workers to take up oil jobs and oil careers that were frozen during the recession, the tables are turning in favour of the employee. Because the oil industry decided to freeze jobs during the economic crisis rather than opt for redundancies, the demand for workers to fill oil rig jobs and drilling jobs has suddenly increased. This, in turn, means that potential employees are looking at a situation where they could conceivably command wages that have not been seen for some time. “The sting in the tail is that the job market is tightening, potentially causing employers to bid up for staff,” said Craig James, a senior economist at Commonwealth Bank of Australia. To add credence to this statement, The Australian Broadcasting Company has reported that the Maritime Workers Union of Australia has secured a A$50,000 pay-increase over a three year period for workers at Total Marine Services Ltd.
In December of 2009, Chevron Corp. announced that it had signed a deal with Japan’s Tokyo Electric Power Co, to the tune of A£82 billion. This deal secured Chevron as the supplier of liquid natural gas from its fields in Wheatstone in Western Australia. This project is expected to create 6,500 oil jobs and oil careers, including drilling jobs and oil-rig jobs.
However, money market analysts are not convinced that this sudden bout of good news will convince Governor Stevens to increase the interest rates. Instead, it is thought that he will want to see a period of stability before increasing the cost of borrowing.

Resume Summary Section – Every Resume Needs a Summary Section
Posted by David Alan Carter in Career on 03/04/2010
Resume summary section. Does your resume need one? Yes, says this former recruiter. Here’s why, and what to consider when writing a resume summary.
______
A resume without a summary section is like a book without a jacket cover. Book jackets typically offer a tight, teasing summary of what’s inside. If they didn’t, few people would pick up a tome and buy the thing. A resume summary, like a book jacket, is likely the readers’ first impression and can be a most powerful marketing statement.
As the name implies, a resume summary is an overview of the qualifications that make you the perfect fit for the job in question. It’s your advertising pitch to the reader, and your chance to hook that reader and keep him reading. It typically focuses on three to five skills or competencies that have been culled from the resume and represent the best arguments as to why you are a perfect match for the job in question. The goal is to intrigue the reader and motivate that reader to explore the balance of your resume with the predisposition that the qualifications for the job have already been met.
Resume Summary Section – Where To Place It On The Resume
If you’re working with a resume objective statement, you’ll want to place the summary directly beneath the objective. If you’ve elected to forgo an objective, the summary section will be the first section on the resume, just beneath your header (name and contact information).
Should The Summary Take The Place of the Objective?
In some cases, yes. A resume objective is not always necessary or even advisable. Though opinions will vary among career counselors, I believe a objective remains an asset to your resume if at least one of the following holds true:
1) You know the actual position title you’re applying for.
2) You have a diverse work background that doesn’t lend itself to a natural focus.
3) You’re changing careers, or entering the job market for the first time.
While a resume objective is not always needed or advised, keep in mind that focus is always required. So if you choose not to use an objective, your summary section will need to pull extra duty: it will have to include the element of focus that would have otherwise fallen to the objective.
Resume Summary – How To Structure One
The best resume summaries are brief in nature, as the word “summary” would imply. A summary can be a solid block of text (2-3 sentences, or a paragraph) that summarizes your qualifications for a targeted position. Or it can be a sentence or two that sets the stage, followed by a bulletted list of three or so notable specifics that act to reinforce that statement of qualification. Example:
Summary:
Division Merchandising Manager offering ten years of progressively responsible managerial experience in the retail industry – including budgetary accountability for up to $20 million and the management of up to 18 direct reports.
- Special expertise in trend analysis and forecasting, merchandise planning, inventory control, and advertising and promotion.
- Proactive style of management; take charge of situations and deliver effective results.
- Effective communicator (written and verbal) with polished presentation skills.
Different Names For The Summary Section
A resume summary section can go by different names. Pick your favorite: Profile; Summary of Qualifications; Career Summary; Accomplishments Profile; etc. You get the idea. Label it what you like. But whatever you label it, make sure it’s part of your resume.

Karren Brady Brings a New Style to the Apprentice
Times are changing on the hit BBC show The Apprentice. Not only has Lord Alan Sugar taken on a government role as the new Enterprise Tsar to the Prime Minister, but Margaret Mountford has resigned. She will be replaced by the “First Lady of Football” and former Birmingham City managing director, Karren Brady.
Who is Karren Brady and what makes her such a corporate success? Chantel du Plooy takes a look at Karren’s career and the role she is expected to play on The Apprentice Series 6.
The new Margaret
With Lord Sugar appointed as a Labour peer, the BBC Trust has called for a rescheduling of the programme. It wouldn’t be appropriate for The Apprentice to give additional media coverage to the Labour party when a general election is due. As a result, viewers will have to wait until July or August for the show to air.
Sadly the audience will also need to make peace with the absence of Margaret Mountford, who alongside Nick Hewer advised Lord Sugar since the show started five years ago.
The 56-year-old corporate lawyer was a natural. She played her role as Lord Sugar’s “eyes and ears” flawlessly, knowing just when to lift a brow, roll her eyes or speak.
In the Guardian, Kira Cochrane wrote that Margaret “combines a steely core with acute moral and business judgment.”
Before and during her time on The Apprentice, Margaret didn’t care for fame and that is what made her such a keeper. She left the show after finishing the fifth series to focus on her PhD studies in papyrology, leaving an extremely important role vacant.
Before news broke that Karren Brady would be her successor, many experts set their own characteristics for the “new Margaret”.
Tim Teeman, arts and entertainment editor of the Times, said that The Apprentice could risk losing its mystique if they opted to appoint someone glamorous to replace Margaret.
Daily Telegraph television critic Mary Evans added: “It’s quintessentially British to have the slightly older woman. We don’t do glamour in Britain; we do sensible, regal and sound. We have the candidates for eye-candy and it’s important that they are looking across the boardroom at the craggiest faces.”
Ironically enough, apart from the very attractive 40-year-old Karren Brady, the other candidates vying for the position were equally enchanting. These included 39-year-old the Ultimo Gel bra founder, Michelle Mone and 37-year-old entrepreneur, Martha Lane Fox.
“As tough as they come”
Karren Brady, the current vice-chairman of West Ham United, might already be familiar to The Apprentice fans after she featured in a series of one-off appearances. She also led a team on Comic Relief does The Apprentice and rose over £750,000.
However, Karren’s media career began at the age of 18 when she started working at advertising company Saatchi & Saatchi. She moved on to become an Account Executive at London Broadcasting Company (LBC) where her paths crossed with publisher David Sullivan.
Sullivan made her a director at his company when she was only 20-years-old. Three years later, she took over the management of Birmingham City Football Club. Although Karren didn’t know much about the sport, she directed the company back into profit. She became the youngest Managing Director of a PLC in the UK and improved the average gate of the Club from 6,000 to 30,000.
When she left Birmingham City after sixteen years, many were disappointed. Dough Ellis, former chairman of rivals Aston Villa told the Birmingham Post: “I’ve a great deal of respect for her business acumen and what she has done for the football club. I used to sit next to her in FA meetings and got to know her well.
“She’s as tough as they come and it’s a huge loss for Birmingham City Football Club. She’ll be missed enormously.”
Unlike Margaret, Karren enjoyed a lot of media attention during her career. She hosted her own TV show, Brady Bunch, presented Central Weekend Live and wrote a string of columns for UK newspapers.
She was also awarded Cosmopolitan magazine’s Woman of the Year in 2006, named Business Woman of the Year in 2007 and won the NatWest Every Woman Award in 2008. In between all her professional duties, she is also a wife and mother of two.
While Karren Brady doesn’t have Margaret’s mystique or matriarchal image, she does bring a wealth of experience and business smarts to the table, along with lashings of energy, wit and style.

Healthcare Jobs Tips
Posted by James Gunaseelan in Jobs on 03/03/2010
Although many people finish healthcare courses with the optimism of consequently finding healthcare jobs immediately after graduation, it is not that easy. Although there seem to be many opportunities in the medical field, a lot of fresh graduates can’t seem to get jobs. If you find yourself in this predicament, there may be good reasons behind this.
First, not all healthcare fields constantly have job openings. The kind of medical job you see yourself in may not be a realistic option at the moment. There are also many non-medical jobs you may apply for, but if you’re seeking to increase your knowledge in the field, then it is more advisable to get one that is compatible with your college degree.
It is also possible that the job you are eyeing is not an entry level job and requires years of experience. In that case, you will have to settle for a lower-level job instead. It may pay less, but think of it as an investment in your future. You will be able to acquire the experience that will eventually qualify you for a better opportunity, possibly even better than the one you were eyeing in the first place.
Another possible reason is that you don’t have the educational attainment required. You might have to finish a four-year course or get a Masters’ Degree for certain jobs. You might also want to scour for seminars and short training programs that will broaden your knowledge and make your resume more attractive to your prospective employer.
Connections also help. It doesn’t mean that you should do some name-dropping, which could irritate your potential employer. It only means that you should expand your networks, especially when it comes to people in respectable healthcare jobs. They will be able to put in a good word for you and will be good character references for background checks.
If you can get a subscription to a medical magazine, it might help too. Keeping posted on the latest in medical development also serves as a forecast as to where your particular field in medicine is headed. Not only will it keep you more informed, it also allows you to anticipate possible job openings ahead of the rest.
You may be located in a place where healthcare jobs are not as in demand as in other places. It also depends upon the population. If you live in a place with a young population, there may be a high demand for people in the field of pediatrics. If you’re looking for jobs in the field of geriatrics, look for a place with lots of retirement homes and an older population. You might have to relocate to get the job you want.
The demand for healthcare workers has been declining. Because of the economic recession, it may not be as easy to find a job in the field as it was a few years back. The good news is that the industry is still hiring people, more than other industries, even if the number is dwindling. The competition is higher now and a lot of experienced professionals who have dabbled in other careers or retired may try to come back because of financial difficulties. This means that your competition will be a little fiercer. You will just have to put your best foot forward and stand out among the other candidates.

Sales Objective – Tips For Writing a Sales Resume Objective
Posted by David Alan Carter in Jobs on 03/03/2010
A sales objective… struggling with one? Here’s what not to say, along with a case study of one sales resume objective that proved successful.
______
If you’ve built a career in sales, and you’re currently looking for a job, the objective on your resume is likely to be the first impression you’ll be casting to much of the world. Your resume has to sell you to a cynical audience – recruiters and hiring officials who have heard it all and seen it all on paper. And the first thing that cynical audience will see is your…
Sales Resume Objective
An objective statement is not required of every resume. There are times when a resume is better served without an objective. But an objective statement is important and advisable when 1) you know the exact title of the position you’re applying for, 2) your work background has been varied enough such that a reader would have a tough time identifying your current career goal without such an objective statement.
Toward that latter point, if you’ve got a background in tech support, sales, welding and rodeo clowning, you need focus and you need it fast. A resume objective quickly draws a bead on your target, and helps condition the reader to the information that follows.
Of course, that resume objective needs to be well written. Slap together an objective statement, and you’ll likely end up doing more harm than good. The biggest problem most people run into: they don’t view the objective through the eyes of the hiring official.
Sales Resume Objectives That Don’t Work, And Why
Here are three examples of sales objectives that delivered their attached resumes straight to the circular file. My notes are in [brackets].
1) “I wish to obtain a challenging job in sales.” [Too general. Yes, the writer has homed-in on sales as his occupational preference (as opposed to rodeo clowning). But what kind of sales? You've got your territory sales, your outside sales, your inside sales, and your sales management. And challenging? It's a resume cliche. I wish? Elementary school.]
2) “A position in Technical Sales offering advancement opportunities.” [Better, as the writer is targeting more precisely his occupational preference. But bringing up his desire for advancement in the same breath leaves me questioning his genuine enthusiasm for the day-to-day duties of technical sales. Tip: don't bring up advancement before securing even the first job on the ladder.]
3) “Seeking a position in Sales or Customer Service which could fully utilize my skills and abilities.” [Well, which is it going to be? Sales or customer service? In most companies, those are quite dissimilar professions. And what "skills and abilities" are you referring to? Yes, you want to subtly tease in the objective. But everybody's got "skills and abilities." This writer has not teased me to want to read further in order to identify those skills and abilities.]
Case Study – Alison
Alison was a licensed Realtor with three years experience selling homes in a highly competitive market. After combing through her work history and discussing her goals during a phone interview, I wrote the following resume objective. Keep in mind, Alison had identified the company she wanted to work for, and we were responding to an actual classified ad for a position opening.
“Position in NEW HOME SALES (Builder’s Representative) requiring a skilled negotiator with industry insight, excellent customer relations, and a demonstrated track record for delivering results.”
Why Did This Sales Objective Work?
For starters, it directly identified the position sought, which exactly matched the job opening. Secondly, it addressed the job qualifications as spelled out in the ad. In fact, the keywords “negotiator” and “track record” were actually in the advertisement, yet they also perfectly matched Alison’s skill set and work history.
Set ‘em Up and Keep ‘em Reading
Alison’s sales objective was targeted and focused. It spoke directly to the needs of the hiring manager, and offered tantalizing assertions as to the value of this candidate. The objective statement is not the place to prove those assertions. That would come in the subsequent “profile” and “experience” sections.
At this stage of the game, it’s sufficient that the hiring official keeps reading. And a good sales objective does just that – keeps ‘em reading.

Vital Information About Nurse Practitioners Training
Posted by Adriana N. in Career on 03/02/2010
Nurse practitioners are nurses that are legally allowed to perform same of the same services that many physicians do. This type of medical care provider has many things to offer their patients. The care that they provide will be equal to that of the doctor, but the benefits are often greater.
Many medical offices now give their patients the choice of seeing the physician or the nurse. To many people this is likely to seem odd. After all, the doctor is the only one competent enough to actually treat someone. That is a very common myth among society.
The fact is that these nursing specialists are quite capable of diagnosing any typical problems that their patients suffer from. They spend many years training and put a lot of time and efforts into their studies. It is even required for them to do clinical just like a doctor would.
The schooling
The entire degree will generally take a couple of years to complete and it will be dependent on many things. One such thing is how much of the studies have already been completed. Another factor may be how many classes are taken in a semester. A counselor will help in deciding all of these things.
Before anyone can even start courses for this popular program they must first complete their degree in nursing. Once that is finished then anyone is free to move forward into the practitioner field. It is a very intense area of study, but the rewards make everything worth it.
After successfully completing the classes that are required and doing all of the clinicals, a nurse will have to take a state exam to obtain a license. The tests vary for each state but will usually have many questions on them. A few weeks after the test is taken scores and licensures will be sent out.
The jobs
The actual jobs in this field can be very exciting and there is a large array to choose from. This particular specialist has the ability to do the work that a normal doctor does, but also perform many of the functions highly trained nurse. This is why they are so highly sought after.
Many nurses choose to work in a family practice where they see patients everyday just as the physician does. However, there are also those who follow careers in fields such as sports medicine, acute care units, and nursing homes. The possibilities are endless when it comes to the growing field.
Another employment for these specialists is in education. Schools are desperate for instructors in the nursing classes. Bonuses to choosing this career are the rewards. Being able to share a wealth of knowledge can make anyone feel great.
Nurse practitioners have the ability to offer all the same services as a doctor. They are just as well trained and there is usually not as long of a wait when seeing one of them. The next time you visit your doctor, consider giving one of these amazing specialty nurses a try. It might be a pleasant surprise.
Nursing can be a very rewarding career. Find more information about jobs for travel nurses or jobs for occupational therapy here.
Things to Think About When Filling Out a Job Application
Posted by Nick Woods in Career on 02/26/2010
Applying for a brand new job has never seemed to be a very relaxed process. Perhaps it is just the continuous turning down of job applications that makes it seem so challenging, I truly do not know. One point I know I’m absolutely convinced on is that a job application should be filled in carefully in order for ones probability of getting a interview and job to strengthen.
Anyway, so many individuals seem to find this very complicated, so I what I’ve done is outlined a number of beneficial tips on how to fill out a job application offline. Before we move any further with any job application you need to make certain you dig up all the information considered necessary to fill it out appropriately. Such as old resumes and earnings slip data from your prior employers is crucial for this stage of a job application. Without this information you will really struggle to fill it out the instant you get to a work place that asks you to conclude the form on the spot.
Write this valuable information and data down on a piece of paper or add it to note pad on your computer and print it off. Other vital documentation and information are obtainable from the social security department. You should as well continually make certain you take your social security Card wherever you go as well as a valid driver’s license. Both of these are mandatory for you to complete an application form for any listed jobs.
The next part of the application process is to truly fill in your application. Since these forms can be filled in on location it is crucial to mention that whatever is going to land you that job interview is all dependent on that piece of paper. Therefore when filling out the application it is foremost that you be as smart and clean as possible. Cancelling out unnecessarily will outcome in you being turned down on behalf of an interview since that communicates to the employer that you are careless and dirty.
Legibility is crucial as well. Carefully write everything in the spaces on the application in such a way that anyone who lays their hands on it will be able to read whatever is written there. Correctness and preciseness are again things you have got to use since any mistakes might merely lead to you not getting a response for your job application.
After you have finished the application you must double check to make certain that all entered information is correct to the last letter and number. Go through it more than merely once to make certain you do not over look specific errors that are not easily detectable at first read. The last part of the process includes you actually being smart while collecting and submitting the application. You ought to also make certain that you are polite and presentable in your conduct of speech. Such things stand out and a company will not hesitate to jot down that on the application as soon as you leave.
There are many options out there when you start looking for a job everything from Fast Food Jobs to Customer Service Jobs but you must learn how to fill out a job application to help increase your odds of getting the job.
