<title>Handling Rejection During Your Job Search</title>

<description><![CDATA[ A lot of people fear rejection during their job quest, and if you happen to be one of such people then you should remain comforted in the knowledge that you are not alone. Only a sadist would like dealing with unending rejection.  Every job hunter out there fears rejection, and the only thing different is the way they handle it. Successful job hunters use rejection as a tool to push further and drive them towards success, while less successful ones allow rejection to drown them in a pool of depression. Handling rejection more positively is the way to success, and understanding how to do so is tied to taking rejection in stride when it comes.

Think of it, how many actors win an audition the first time the try out? How many people get a job the first time they ever apply? Rejection in job hunting is a constant that you have to deal with, and this constant cannot be avoided even by you! Handle your job search efforts well, and free yourself from stress by understanding the fact that many situations will occur which may lead to you not getting a job.

Getting rejected when you apply for a job is not an easy thing but it cannot be avoided. The way to avoid taking rejection personally is by looking at it from an entirely different point of view. The fact that you are getting rejected means that your chances of getting a job are actually improving. 

The reason for this is that by job hunting and getting rejected, you tend to understand more about yourself and the job marketplace and what this does is that it gives you more information to work with at subsequent interviews.

A basic fact you should get into your head when job searching is that you will likely encounter more rejection than acceptance during the quest for a job.  Your aim is to find that one opportunity that will turn out to be a success.

You should also keep it in mind that being rejected for a job does not necessarily mean career failure or a lack of abilities as a person. It may be due to a failure in your method of approach or other reasons which were beyond your immediate control.

At the end of each interview, you should reflect upon what you did well during the interview and work on those things. And, you should reflect on what you did wrong and how that could be improved on as well. Doing this will prepare you better for the next interview and give you a better chance at succeeding in your job quest.

Finally you should remember that job hunting is a numbers game: some people make it while other people don't, and the more you get interviews and improve yourself the better your chances of winning become. When you are focused on the next interview at hand, then you throw the feelings of rejection and depression out the window much faster and prime yourself for success. ]]></description>

<title>Writing Successful Cover Letters</title>

<description><![CDATA[ When searching for a job, you should think of yourself as a product and the marketer of that product at the same time. Companies that offer job prospects should be thought of as buyers of a product. And these are not just ordinary buyers, as they are spending thousands of dollars on buying the product which is you.  So, think of them as you would think in terms of a car buyer seeking to purchase a brand new car at the right price.  Successful car dealers are successful not necessarily because they all sell flashy cars, but because they tend to offer give the buyers the impression that they are getting the best value for their money. Approach job hunting and the writing of your resumes and cover letters in this way and you will be primed for success.

The cover letter is the best place to entice a company to hire you. It's like the preview of a movie, the first chapter of a book and your chance to make a good first impression. No one is going to wait to get to the good part in the middle of the movie if the beginning is dull or incomprehensible.  And the same thing applies to a book, which is the reason why a good cover letter is important. If the resume is the main event, like the middle of the book or movie, than the cover letter is your introduction or exposition. The cover letter is a synopsis of the reasons why the company should hire you, a presentation of the reasons why they should even bother reading your resume. Don't forget that you're not the only person who applied for the job. A lot of other people are vying for the same post so it is important you use every single edge available to you.

A great cover letter should answer the main questions of the employer and give them a reason to call you up for an interview. They want to know what motivates you, why they should hire you and why you are the right one that meets with their needs.

When writing an effective cover letter, your focus should be job-specific, most people have a one-size fits all cover letter which they modify as required and give to employers who have jobs on offer.  Well, the truth is that this won't cut it anymore. You have to explain how your particular skills and experiences match the particular job that you are applying for: this is what really concerns your potential employer.

Make sure that the cover letter adequately markets who you are.  This is your chance to make the employer buy into whatever you are selling in the resume. If your cover letter doesn't get the message across, then don't count on them reading the resume, because they haven't paid for your services yet and nothing is compelling them to continue. Another essential thing to do is to make sure that your cover letter is thoroughly checked to eliminate grammatical errors, because nothing puts people more off a sales pitch than an error, whether glaring or subtly hidden. ]]></description>

<title>When and How References Matter in Your Job Application</title>
<link>http://www.populate.net/Career/when-and-how-references-matter-in-your-job-application.html</link>

<description><![CDATA[ After a successful job interview, the next thing that will probably happen before your employer fully decides to hire you is an employment reference check. People tend to think of such job reference checks as afterthoughts instead of the very important factors they are in a job application. Having the right job reference can make all the difference between you getting a job and someone else getting that job. For employers, getting value for their money is an important issue and they want to be sure that the person they are hiring is as good as they claim to be on their application.

These important tips should assist you when you are providing job references to a potential employer:

Sometimes You Don't Need a Reference Letter

Especially if it is an informal letter, potential employers aren't interested in your past and such letters do not have genuine credibility as they can be written by anyone.  What employers need is a live and talking witness who can attest to your personality and whether you are suitable for the job you are seeking out, and they would preferably like someone they could easily reach on the phone.

Write References on a Separate Sheet

You should write your references on a separate sheet and not on your main resume. Only provide references when they are asked for, and you should have at least five references that can be easily contacted by the employer if needed. Sometimes when references aren't asked for in your application you may add the line "references available upon request" so that they know you have a list of potential references on standby.

Choose References Wisely

Don't choose someone as a reference simply because their title and job description looks good on paper, and don't choose someone because they are a friend. The best people to have as references are former superiors who were responsible for your supervision and whom you reported to. These references will be quite aware of your strengths and weaknesses in order to highlight why you would be the best possible choice for the job as far as your employers are concerned. However, if you are fresh out of college, getting up to five references in terms of work may be a serious problem so you can go ahead and contact co-students, your professors in college or other acquaintances you may have met by virtue of your brief work experience.

Get Approval First

You don't simply go and list someone as a reference without asking whether they are comfortable first.  What if the employer contacts your reference and catches them unaware? It will not seem professional to an employer, and neither will your reference be able to provide a comprehensive answer to the questions of why the employer would want to hire you.

Provide Contact Information That is Current

The information which you provide about your reference should be current and up-to-date. The current nature of this information should include everything from the job description to the contact information entailing the e-mail address as well as the phone numbers. ]]></description>

<title>The Right Way to Distribute Your Resume</title>

<description><![CDATA[ When you are out seeking a job, the results you get depend not only on your skills and capabilities, but on your manner of presentation of these skills and capabilities as well.  

In order to do this, you have to first focus on writing your resume properly or improving on the current state of your resume. Sometimes if you are unable to know where your resume is lacking in terms of content, it pays to have a professional write it for you instead.

As soon as your resume has been written properly the next step which you need to be concerned about is effective distribution. Various services exist and they include both paid resume distribution services and free resume distribution services. The results you get from these services also vary; some of these services produce very fast results, while others take a relatively long time to provide the right results.
In order to discover the best method of distributing your resume, you should consider the various possible methods which you can do it and then analyze the advantages and the disadvantages of each method.

The first method to be considered is the manual method. It is less common nowadays due to the fact that it is easier to use the Internet to distribute your resume, but certain people find it beneficial to distribute their resumes by manually responding to classifieds which they feel match their job descriptions. The beauty of this method is that it gives a person the power to choose which job they would like to apply for, and that responses can be personalized to match a particular employers expectations. The bad thing about this method is that it takes a lot of time, especially when you want to apply for various jobs.

Other than the manual method, you can patronize the services of recruiters who are usually paid to fill certain positions within particular companies. A lot of recruiters tend to match job descriptions to people who fit the sort of careers specified by these job descriptions. They are advantageous because they can find new job openings before you do, and they can make for your quest for a job more efficient and stress-free. Unfortunately for some people, they have to send their resumes to a lot of such recruiters before they actually get jobs and use of recruiters may be time-consuming in some cases.

The last popular method, and the easiest one, is to post your resume on the Internet. A lot of web sites exist which perform in this capacity and let you host your resume online according to the industry in which you work. The great thing about using such online services is that most of them are free, and this tends to encourage employers to give you a lot of job offers. The bad thing about such sites is that they tend to be flooded with a whole lot of job seekers like you, and the success rate is less than what you get elsewhere. ]]></description>

<title>Job Search Advice for Recent College Graduates</title>
<link>http://www.populate.net/Career/job-search-advice-for-recent-college-graduates.html</link>
<guid>http://www.populate.net/Career/job-search-advice-for-recent-college-graduates.html</guid>
<pubDate>Tue, 13 May 2008 00:00:00 -0700</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[ Graduates fresh out of college have a problem, and the problem is that they are fresh out of college. Other than some little work experience and theoretical knowledge, few graduates have the needed experience to become practical successes immediately they step into their first jobs. Entry-level positions are available which provide on the job training but the number of positions available is small and bears no reflection to the huge amount of graduates that institutions of learning churn out on an annual basis. 

Most graduates are ignorant of this fact primarily because they are fresh out of school and do not realize the difficulty of getting employed and the rigors of the job market. The bulk of these graduates are still suffering from the aftermath of sorority and fraternity parties and they don't really know getting jobs takes more than having educational qualifications. More importantly, it involves the personal readiness to work, showing employers you are ready and that you have the capacity to learn what you don't know  quickly. These bits of advice will help:

Aggression is Required

The majority of college graduates don't act like they need a job; they wait on placement firms and prospects to send in their sparsely filled resumes. Most companies have a pile of such resumes sitting at the desk of a bored mid or low level employee with no interest in reading what you spent the last few years of your life doing in college, after all they are the ones doing you the favor by accepting your application in exchange for a job, job seekers are in no short supply.

A college graduate should be much more aggressive in searching for a job than someone who has years of experience and is switching employers.  Such people have experience to trade and something to give to those that employ them and yet they seek out jobs actively, so why should college graduates with little or no experience have it easier? A college graduate has to be proactive and persistent and seek out the decision-makers in the establishment they wish to work in.  Make calls, send e-mails and get directions. Sure, a number of rejections and slammed doors will come your way but sooner or later you will get the single positive answer that is all you need.

Do the Necessary Research

A prospective employee has to know more about the company they intend to work for in order to better structure their application and resume to meet the exact requirements and demands of such an organization. If you end up getting a job interview you'll also end up doing better by virtue of this knowledge. Don't think in terms of asking for a job alone, think in terms of asking for a job and telling prospective employers how you can offer your readiness to learn and work to match the precise needs of their organization.

Employing the Power of Networking

Established career seekers make use of networking in their arsenal of job seeking tools; recent college graduates looking for jobs can do the same as well. Better networking is possible by contacting people who are already established in the field you intend to find a career in. You can also network by finding other job seekers that are as serious as you are and who can share beneficial information with you which should help in career search goals. ]]></description>

<title>Smart Salary Negotiation 101</title>

<description><![CDATA[ If you have a job offer, then negotiating a salary and compensation package should be the next thing on board. If a company has spent time and effort interviewing you for a job and has decided to secure your services as employee, they will want to ensure that you remain in the company paying you just enough to ensure that you don't get snapped up by the competition. However despite all this, negotiating a compensation package is a tricky issue, you don't want to ask for too much and make yourself seem unreasonable and on the other hand you don't want to ask for too little and feel shortchanged. So how exactly do you go about the whole thing?

Some people are excited when given the opportunity to negotiate their salary and a compensation package; others on the other hand tend to be perturbed when faced with such a task. Whatever your state of mind, make sure you do the following:

Determine Your Worth

The person at the other end of the table knows how much they feel you are worth, you on the other hand should have an idea about how much you feel the career package is worth. When you start negotiating, you should be aware of all the facts concerning your particular job description. The Internet is a great resource and you can use it to your advantage to get informed about salaries and compensation packages for someone in your shoes. You should make sure that the informational resource you are using factors in the cost of living in the area your employer wants you to work. Having a standpoint in terms of determining your worth means you know what you are negotiating for.

Have a Goal

Just as you can't get into battle without a battle plan in hand and you don't get into a football match without laying out a plan to win, you have to define your goal in the salary negotiation proceedings; you can't get into negotiations without a goal. Shoot a little beyond your mark, if you feel the job is worth around $70,000 in total; ask for a bit more but not that much more. The reason being that the negotiators want to leave the table feeling they have gained something, if you give them the exact figure you have in mind, they'll aim to beat it down.

Know When to Walk

You're not up for a charitable cause, it's your career that's at stake and you have responsibilities and bills to pay. If you absolutely know you cannot take anything below a particular amount, then walk away and seek alternative options. Deciding to make do with what is below your expectations and which does not cover the level of your financial responsibilities can land you in a quandary, if you know you have better more financially beneficial options elsewhere, then you can drop the offer and move on.

Be Fair

Make sure you use standards that are reasonable for someone in your shoes, the company that's giving you the offer knows how much the industry pays and you should as well, everyone is trying to win something in the deal. Failure to stick to fair expectations may lead to resentment and comfort with your future job if you accept something below par only to find out later on that fellow employees on the same level as you are, are raking in more than you are. ]]></description>

<title>Understanding the Differences between a CV and a Resume</title>

<description><![CDATA[ A number of people make the mistake of thinking that a curriculum vitae and a resume are the same thing but they are not. Some people are aware that the two differ but they are unaware about how that affects their job application prospects. If you fall into one of these categories or you just want more clarification, then you have chosen the wiser path which will serve your purposes better in future and keep you better informed about the career seeking process.

The curriculum vitae documents are more popular outside the shores of the United States where they tend to serve the purpose that resumes do. If you were applying for an international position in the United Kingdom instead of the United States, a smarter idea would be to send in curriculum vitae instead of a resume.

The United States isn't a country with complete aversion to curriculum vitae; there are certain job conditions where you would be required to send in a CV instead of a resume.  If you are looking for a job in academia, say perhaps as a professor at a college or university, then you would need a CV instead of a resume. Other than the academic field, if you are an employee in the fields of research in any subject and especially in the medical field and you're looking for a fellowship, residency position or admission to a PhD program; you would need a CV instead of a resume. One last case is also if you have been published and made presentations frequently, in this case a CV would be preferred as well.

There are a lot of differences between CV's and resumes. CV's are usually much more detailed than resumes and more so abroad than in the United States, they usually include just about every detail about the prospective candidate as possible. Such CV's may even range from 10 pages or more and will include information about educational and academic backgrounds as well as teaching and research experience, publications, presentations, awards, honors, affiliations and other details.

A resume is basically a one or two page version that is a summary of everything that would ordinarily be present in a CV. Most resumes will normally cover your skill set as well as your experience and your education. 

Never send in a resume instead of a CV if you are applying for jobs abroad. In the case of job applications in the United States always send a resume except when a CV is explicitly requested. For the CV's you can make sure everything is as detailed as possible as that is the usual requirement while in the case of the resume it would be a smart idea to keep everything short and concise. You should ensure that you don't spend too much word power on explaining a few details, cover everything in a summary like form to give your prospective employer a detailed insight into your various qualifications as well as your experience and the reason why you would be the best person for the prospective job under consideration. ]]></description>

<title>Some Popular Job Interview Mistakes and How to Avoid Them</title>

<description><![CDATA[ If you are familiar with people who work in human resources and hiring services, they will be sure to tell you of many experiences where they encountered applications that really looked great on paper but when the actual people behind these applications turned up to be interviewed, they turned out to be disasters. You don't have to suffer the same fate; you can take note of the mistakes these individuals have made and prepare yourself for career success. You have to learn to make a good first impression by avoiding these four major mistakes which job seekers tend to make regularly and convince the interviewers that you are even much better in person than on paper. Avoid these blunders:

Failure to Prepare for Questions 

Most people plan for interviews by setting a few interview questions for themselves and then preparing to respond to these specific questions, this is a very wrong move to make. Preparation is best for all possible eventualities or you rather not prepare at all. Think of it, what if you make up your mind to answer a set of specific questions and you end up being caught unawares and unprepared, how will that make you look? If you need preparation, you best think of as many possible questions as you can and anticipate as many possible eventualities as possible. In the end you will also have to learn not to rely too much on the questions you anticipate (you can't possibly get them all, can you?) but your readiness to answer any that come your way.

Lack of Effective Communication

Impressing your interviewers and satisfying them with your responses is called effective communication, failure to effectively communicate leads to failure to be understood and failure to get the message across of how beneficial an employee you can be to the organization or establishment in question.  Match the style of the interviewer asking questions when you answer them. If the interviewer is brisk and business-like, don't attempt any jokes but respond in an equally business-like manner instead. Any questions that are directly asked should be directly answered as well.

Excessive Talking 

Excessive talkers are a problem in any interviewing situation, interviewers will tell you this as well. Sometimes the excessive talk is due to over exuberance and sometimes it is due to the desire of the interviewee to over-compensate for what they perceive to be their own weaknesses. Whatever the precise case, being over-talkative is seen as a sign of weakness. Avoid taking an excessive amount of time to answer direct questions, get to the point. Never talk nervously as it indicates you're either covering up for certain unclear deficiencies or that you are lying when you may not be.  

Badmouthing Previous Bosses

Not all employers are Santa Claus and his band of merry elves but even if your previous employer was the Grinch Who Stole Christmas keep the sad stories out of your interview. Never express ill-feelings held about your previous employer or work situation. When it comes to challenges you experienced with your previous employer which were subject to negativity, learn to spin your experiences in a positive light. ]]></description>

<title>Finding Jobs for Spanish Speakers</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Searching for jobs can be challenging, even in the best of times. Whether you have just graduated from school or are a seasoned professional, speaking Spanish contributes greatly to your qualifications in a growing number of markets in North America. The steps below are designed to help you refine your search and land your prize assignment.

Seek and Ye Shall Find 

The resources you use for finding employment will differ, depending on whether you are merely looking for place to use your Spanish in the course of normal duties, or plan to teach the language. Excellent sources for bilingual jobs are Lat Pro and Diversity Inc. If you are looking in the education market, Teachers Net is a premier resource. In either case, make sure to register which any site so that they can keep you informed about any new opportunities. And use any associated forum so that you can communicate with other people looking for similar jobs. But you might want to be a little careful about divulging any information that could give a lead away to a potential competitor. And it should go without saying, but do your research on a company or educational institution well before your first interview or email contact.

What Do You Really Want?

This may be stating the obvious, but make sure that your desires are in line with the positions you are apply for consideration. One popular technique is to interview yourself, focusing on questions asked by typical employers. Just as they will want to know your true motivations for applying to their organization, you should be aware of how the position will fulfill your requirements. It is best to be as specific as possible in your responses, which shows decisiveness and commitment. Employers are generally more interested in determined applicants, showing clarity around both their strengths and weaknesses, than those who show a lack of interest and foresight.

Time to Apply Yourself

Take any application, whether written or online, very seriously. This application packet is your virtual ambassador until the recruiter or potential future boss gets a chance to communicate with you personally. Design a resume in a style and format that works best for you. Even though many applications now are stripped down to text format, the language and organization evident in your application is your first chance to put your best foot forward, so to speak. For example, if you are lacking in work experience, you can focus more on previous volunteer work and educational achievements.  It is never to early to show confidence and enthusiasm. The only caution is to steer clear of boastfulness.

If at First You Do Not Succeed

Find a job, especially one that meets most or all of your requirements, is a journey. Most of us do not get our ideal job on the first attempt. But if you apply the above techniques to your search, and see this as part of a life strategy, the perfect job may come looking for you rather than the other way around. ]]></description>

<title>Broadband High Speed Internet: Choosing The Right Service</title>
<link>http://www.populate.net/Internet/Broadband/broadband-high-speed-internet-choosing-the-right-service.html</link>
<guid>http://www.populate.net/Internet/Broadband/broadband-high-speed-internet-choosing-the-right-service.html</guid>
<pubDate>Thu, 03 Jan 2008 00:00:00 -0800</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[ What is broadband high speed Internet?  First, let us find the basis for comparison for in-home broadband services, often called consumer class, which is basic dial-up.  Dial-up access streams at 56 Kbps (Kilobits per second), and it requires the use of a phone line.  One cannot surf and talk at the same time.  The cost for dial-up is $10-$25 per month.  Reading further, one finds that with broadband high speed Internet, there is no comparison to dial-up Internet.

Satellite broadband has a 400 Kbps speed downstream and upstream speed. A satellite connection can be used when DSL and Cable are not available.  Unlike dial-up, satellite is an instant connection; multiple PC's can share the connection, and there is no need for a second phone line. Home satellite broadband high speed connections run approximately $60-100/month.
     
In comparison, DSL has a speed of 128Kbps to 1.5 Mbps downstream speed. 64 Kbps to 1.5 Mbps upstream speed which is up to 50 times faster than dial up, but one still has to have a landline for DSL. Downloading and streaming music, videos, movies, and playing online gaming just became faster and easier.  Home-based DSL costs about $40-$50 per month.
     
Cable modems have 200Kbps to 2 Mbps downstream & upstream speed.  Cable modems are always on with instant access, and there is no hassle with having a second phone line. Cable modems have comparable cost to DSL.

Units of Measurement - Broadband Internet Access Speed 

bit= smallest unit of digital information, i.e. ones & zeros 
byte= a set of bits
bps= bits per second
Kbps= kilobits per second =1000 bits per second
Mbps = Million bits per second =1,000,000 bits per second
Gbps = Gigabits per second = 1,000,000,000 (one billion) bits per second
Tbps = Terabits per second = 1,000,000,000,000 (one trillion) bits per second

Consumer class broadband differs in costs and services offered from high speed Internet for businesses. For instance, DSL for business runs at 128Kbps to 1.5 Mbps downstream, and 64Kbps to 1.5 Mbps upstream for a cost of $90-$400 per month, depending upon the bandwith speed required.

Another variation of business broad band is Fractional T1. Provided at the speed of 128 Kbps to 1.0 Mbps, Fractional T1 speed has some of the 24-64 Kbps channels turned off.  Prices are approximately $220-$500 per month depending on fractional bandwidth speed required, which includes local loop.  Hardware and installation costs vary. 

DSL and Fractional T1 can be combined for a broadband speed of 1.544 Mbps using a digital circuit. T1/DS1 is dedicated Internet access, point-to-point or integrated (voice & data). Prices are approximately $500-1000 per month which includes local loop.  Hardware and installation costs vary.  

Fractional T3, which is 3 Mbps to 44.736 Mbps basic T3 with some of the 67-264 Kbps channels turned off, comes at a hefty price of approximately $3000-$5000/month, depending on fractional bandwidth speed required. 

T3/DS3 has a broadband speed of 44.736 Mbps digital circuit. It can be dedicated Internet access, point-to-point or integrated. Prices are approx. $5000-15,000 per month plus local loop. Set up costs will be additional. ]]></description>
