Too Much Competition? Change the Color of Your Collar!

I work for an agency that operates a wastewater treatment plant. It's one of several industrial sites in the county, which is home to several factories and four large oil refineries. 

>vacancy

A friend of mine at work is a welder. He'd once thought about becoming a pharmacist, but changed his mind when he realized he could earn more money by using his hands, working outdoors, and fusing metal together. He loves his job, and teaches welding at a local community college in his spare time. But the number of students is dwindling.

It seems that few young people have any interest in learning blue-collar trades that could earn them six-figure salaries. Instead, they want a college degree -- often at their parents' urging -- and a comfortable white-collar job where their hands stay clean and their work is no more strenuous than tapping a keyboard.

As blue-collar Baby Boomers near retirement age, there will be a serious shortage of workers to replace them.

Companies that in the past had no trouble hiring blue-collar workers are getting worried about the future. They're actively recruiting, and trying to convince people that blue-collar jobs are worth pursuing.

My friend the welder doesn't understand the lack of interest. "I make $100,000 a year welding, I don't have to deal with office politics, and I'm always home for my son's Little League games. What's not to like?"

5 Steps to Finding Your Dream Job

The successful job search all boils down to one word -- synergy.

Synergy is defined as "the interaction of two or more agents so that their combined effect is greater than the sum of their individual effects." 

Synergy explains the difference between John, Paul, George and Ringo (individual musicians) and The Beatles (a magical combination).

Most job seekers apply for positions haphazardly--sending out an email resume for this opening, a printed resume for that one, sometimes following up and most often not. >vacancy

But you'll get far better results--and create synergy--if you first write out a job search calendar, to schedule your efforts over the next 60-90 days. Then, follow your plan and systematically use as many tactics as possible for each job you apply for. Organizing your efforts this way will focus your job search, like sunlight through a magnifying glass.    

> job vacancy indonesia 

Here's how to create synergy and job search magic, in 5 easy steps.

Step 1 -- Choose your target job You can do so by picking a job title (example: Sales Manager) or skill set to shoot for (example: sales, marketing, management). No target job = no results in your job search. Because you can't score if you don't have a goal.

Step 2 -- Choose your tactics There are many. Among the most effective is networking with your personal and professional contacts. Let people know you're in the job market and tell them what you're looking for. Then ask this question: "Who do you know that I should be talking to?" This one question can double or triple the size of your network. Other job hunting tactics include submitting your resume to online job postings, the newspaper classifieds, recruiters and temp agencies. But try to spend 80% of your time networking.

Step 3 -- Plan your work Create a job search calendar. Any calendar will do, so long as there's room to write brief notes for each day. Map out the next 30-90 days with specific goals for every day, such as visiting 5 web sites, calling 10 networking contacts and mailing 7 resumes. Post your job search calendar prominently. Then ...

Step 4 -- Work your plan Devote at least 3-5 hours a day to your job search if you're currently employed, and 5-8 hours a day if you're unemployed. Recognize that your job search is a job in itself, the most important one you have right now. And that means you look for work EVERY day, Monday through Friday. Because just one day skipped per week equals a 20% loss in output. You can't afford that.

Step 5 -- Fail your way to a new job As you follow your job search plan and contact all those people every day, you're going to hear one word more than any other: "No." Learn to embrace failure like Thomas Edison, who "failed" 10,000 times before inventing the light bulb. He said: "Every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward." Every "no" you hear in your job search is another step closer to the one "yes" you need to get that position you really want. It's simply a numbers game. Take heart in this fact.

By following this five-step formula, you can create synergy, magic and the job offer you're dreaming about.

The Major Key to Your Better Future is You

Of all the things that can have an effect on your future, I believe personal growth is the greatest. We can talk about sales growth, profit growth, asset growth, but all of this probably will not happen without personal growth. It’s really the open door to it all. In fact I’d like to have you memorize a most important phrase. Here it is, “The major key to your better future is YOU.” 

Let me repeat that. “The major key to your better future is YOU.” Put that someplace you can see it everyday, in the bathroom, in the kitchen, at the office, anywhere where you can see it everyday. The major key to your better future is YOU. Try to remember that every day you live and think about it. The major key is YOU. vacancy

Now, there are many things that will help your better future. If you belong to a strong, dynamic and progressive company, that would help. If the company has good products, good services that you are proud of, that would certainly help. If there were good sales aids, that would help, good training would certainly help. If there is strong leadership that will certainly help. All of these things will help, and of course, if it doesn’t storm, that will help. If your car doesn’t break down, that will help. If the kids don’t get sick, that will help. If the neighbors stay half way civil, that will help. If your relatives don’t bug you, that will help. If it isn’t too cold, if it isn’t too hot, all those things will help your better future. And if prices don’t go much higher and if taxes don’t get much heavier, that will help. And if the economy stays stable, those things will all help. We could go on and on with the list; but remember this, the list of things that I’ve just covered and many more - all put together - play a minor role in your better future. 

The major key to your better future is you. Lock your mind onto that. This is a super important point to remember. The major key is you. Mr. Shoaff always answered when asked, “How do you develop an above average income?” by saying “Simple, become an above average person. Work on you.” Mr. Shoaff would say, “Develop an above average handshake.” He would say, “A lot of people want to be successful, and they don’t even work on their handshake. As easy as that would be to start, they let it slide. They don’t understand.” Mr. Shoaff would say, “Develop an above average smile. Develop an above average excitement. Develop an above average dedication. Develop an above average interest in other people.” He would say, “To have more, become more.” Remember; work harder on yourself than you do on your job. For a long time in my life, I didn’t have this figured out. job vacancy indonesia 

Strangely enough, with two different people in the same company one may earn an extra $100 a month, and the other may earn a $1,000. What could possibly be the difference? If the products were the same, if the training was the same, if they both had the same literature, the same tools. If they both had the same teacher, the same compensation plan, if they both attended the same meetings, why would one person earn the $100 per month and the other person earn the $1000? Remember here is the difference...the difference is personal, inside, not outside, inside.

You see the real difference is inside you. In fact, the difference IS you. Someone once said, “The magic is not in the products. The magic is not in the literature. The magic is not in the film. There isn’t a magic meeting, but the magic that makes things better is inside you, and personal growth makes this magic work for you.

The magic is in believing. The magic is in daring. The magic is in trying. The real magic is in persevering. The magic is in accepting. It’s in working. The magic is in thinking. There is magic in a handshake. There is magic in a smile. There is magic in excitement and determination. There is real magic in compassion and caring and sharing. There is unusual magic in strong feeling and you see, all that comes from inside, not outside. So, the difference is inside you. The real difference is you. You are the major key to your better future. vacancy

If you are wondering how to become an oceanographer, below are tips and advice on training for and beginning careers ( job) in this area of the environmental sciences, as well as job prospects in the UK.
The Job ( career )Description
Oceanographers use their knowledge of biology, chemistry, physics and geology to study the seas and oceans. Examples of their work include conducting research into the effects of climate change, and exploring the impact of pollution and offshore engineering on marine ecosystems.
As an oceanographer, you could specialise in one of four areas:
marine biology – studying marine plants and animals
marine chemistry – anaylysing the chemical composition of seawater and the behaviour of pollutants
marine geology – studying the structure and make-up of the ocean floor
marine physics – as a marine physicist you would study water temperature and density, wave motion, tides and currents.
You would use a variety of techniques to collect data, including:
remote sensors on satellites
instruments on towed or self-powered submersibles
apparatus on moored or drifting buoys
probes lowered into the sea
drills to explore the seabed and acoustics.
Your work would vary depending on the area you specialise in, but will often include:
research and writing reports
presenting and publishing your findings
working with computer modellers to produce graphical simulations of your research
managing a project
leading a team of technical support staff.
Person Specification
The key personal attributes of good oceanographers include:
strong mathematical and scientific skills
good powers of observation
practical skills
good research and problem solving skills
a flexible approach to work
accuracy and attention to detail
good physical health and fitness for research work
the ability to work alone and as part of a team
excellent spoken and written communication skills.
How to become an oceanographer
To become an oceanographer you need a degree in a science-based subject (such as maths, physics or chemistry). As an alternative, you could do a joint honours degree, studying oceanography with either maths, physics or chemistry. Many employers also prefer you to have a relevant postgraduate qualification. For example, a good preparation for work in marine physics would be a physics degree followed by an MSc in Oceanography.
Many degree courses in this area include fieldwork and take around four years to complete. At postgraduate-level, there are taught Masters degrees, research degrees and PhD programmes. The Society for Underwater Technology (SUT) has details of relevant courses and possible funding options; see Further Information.
To get onto a relevant science-based degree you will usually need:
five or more GCSEs (A-C) including English, maths and three science subjects
two or three A levels, including maths, physics and one other science or computing
However, please check with course providers because alternative qualifications may also be accepted.
Training and Development
As an oceanographer you will usually receive on-the-job training from your employer, which will often be combined with short courses, self-managed learning, seminars and conferences.
To help keep you up-to-date, the SUT has details of courses including a Continuing Professional Development programme offered by a group of universities known as MTEC (Marine Technology Education Consortium).
The Pay (a rough guide)
Starting salaries can be between £19,000 and £22,000 a year
With experience this can rise to around £36,000.
Job Prospects
In the UK, many jobs ( career )in oceanography are created and funded by the Natural Environment Research Council. You will find jobs (career )opportunities with organisations, such as the National Oceanography Centre (Southampton), Sea Mammal Research Institute and the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research.
You could also work within teaching and research at a university, with the Royal Navy, the Ministry of Defence (MoD), the Environment Agency, and the Department for Environments, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA).

Job Tips -> Become a Job Magnet

By Sherrie Madia

One of the most frustrating parts of looking for a job is that you have to get other people to at least give you a chance to show them what you've got. Getting in the door is the hardest part.

But when you become an expert, others seek you out. Or, at least, when you knock on the door, at least some people will hear you out for a bit longer if they think you know something that could help them.

You want to be like a magnet-pulling people toward you-instead of having to push yourself on others. By creating good-quality content that helps to promote your expertise, you'll prove that you are also a problem solver. You'll show that you can add value, and therefore others who need what you have to offer will contact you.

Before you say to yourself that you aren't going to put the work into creating content that promotes your expertise, realize that your competition is doing it. In the past, being perceived as an expert was a nice-to-have asset. Today, it's a need-to-have element.

Target Your Employer 'Wish List

Your paper resume, social network profile and social media resume are the message. They are your advertisement--a commercial of you. As part of your preparation for crafting and fine-tuning that message to take advantage of leveraging online social networking and social media channels, you need to know who your audience is. Why? Because it will affect how you present-or, as it is known in marketing-"position"-yourself. So, beginning with the end in mind, and with some direction, ask yourself, "Where do I want to work?"

As you proceed in both your people and company search, you'll come up with new ideas for places you want to work, or you may find that you can't break in to your original targets, so you might modify your targets.

Examples of a 'top X' employer wish list could be the direct competitors to your prior or current firm. However, if you have signed a non-compete agreement, that could get sticky.

Note that while meant to protect a company from customer defections or loss of proprietary intellectual property, at their core, these agreements can be challengeable in court depending on legal precedents and the particular state in which the agreement was executed. That said, no company can legally prohibit you from earning a living. If they choose, big companies with dedicated legal departments and deep pockets can make your life difficult should you choose to test the agreement that you have signed.

Other examples of a top employer wish-list could be key suppliers or vendors to your past or current company, or select distributors/dealers in your firms' sales distribution channel.

The first step is to write down a list of the top 10 companies you'd like to work for. Of course, there is no magic in the number 10-you might have a top 20-but start with a limited set of targets-Ideally, no more than two dozen.

This targeted "short list" is important because it acts as a jumping-off point to your main personal network contacts-those most closely known by you.

You will be communicating this target list to them. If you list too many, you can end up causing confusion and dilute the effectiveness of those who may be able to help you.

Specific Industries and Types of Companies

Beyond writing down your wish list of specific companies, you will also want to think of three or four different types of companies that you are looking to target.

Take your wish list of specific companies, and think of the types of companies that they represent. Also think about grouping them by industry, and then make a list of those firms too.

Here's an example: Let's say you worked for, or are currently with, Dell Computer. You've already made a list of Dell's competitors (HP, IBM, Toshiba, etc.), as part of your wish list).

• Been a PC lover? How about considering switching horses to Apple, and key MAC product vendors? There's a whole new universe of potential employers there you might never have thought of. Make a list.
• What about chip/semiconductor manufacturers like Intel and AMD? Make another list.
• How about monitor manufacturers like Nokia, Samsung, and the like? Make a third list.
• Or perhaps look at a different angle and go behind the scenes to computer OEMs who sell to the Dells of the world. They make key parts like motherboards, soundcards, graphic cards, and SCSI cards. Keep going! Brainstorm and let your mind run wild.

That's the kind of "lateral thinking" that will propel your job search. Don't filter, and be open to anything because you never know where the next opportunity will come from. It might very well be one you never heard or thought of before.

Don't get too broad. Lack of focus in communicating your target industry of interest to others (e.g., healthcare industry) will get you very little help because it's too vague.

To maximize the help your personal network can provide in your company-search/people-search, your contacts need specific direction. A list of targeted firms does just that. You'll want to narrow that down and say, for example, that you are looking for a position in a company that deals in healthcare medical recordkeeping.

This is not to discourage you from thinking broadly but rather to encourage you to avoid scattering your energies in too many directions.
