The Best Way To Find Good Jobs Online


Jobs Online

How can you find good jobs online? Finding good jobs has become impossible in today’s scenario. Good jobs are rarely available these days. This is mainly due to the effects of the economic recession. Recession has eaten into the profits of companies and led to severe losses and global economic slowdowns. This has impacted hiring negatively and companies are now skeptical about bringing new talent on board. This has created a stressful situation for job aspirants and youngsters who have just passed out of universities or colleges and are looking to enter the job market.

One distinctive feature of this prevailing market uncertainty pertains to the huge number of professionals working in job sectors that are distinctly removed from their original skills and qualifications. People are lucky to hold on to their jobs during these tough times and this is another reason for the large numbers of individuals working in apparently different job sectors as compared to their own attributes. Today’s youngsters are clueless about proper job avenues for themselves. There are some conventional options which are most often exercised by job aspirants and other job seekers. These can be listed below:
  • Classified advertisements in newspapers: These are corner page advertisement posted by organizations in and around the city. However, there is always some doubt over their authenticity and reliability. Also, this does not cater to a wide range of job sectors
  • Full blown newspaper advertisements: These are also rare and come out only once in a while when there are serious vacancies in a company or organization. Youngsters cannot rely on such infrequent advertisements from specific companies in specific sectors
  • Online job portals: These are another source of finding jobs but they usually remain restricted to particular companies in particular fields. They do not have available vacancies all at once in usual cases. Alongside, the whole process of creating one’s profile is quite tedious and cumbersome on these portals. The application procedure is complex as well. All this time and energy is simply impossible to find in today’s times
  • Word of mouth, networking and self-publicity: You can choose to publicize your own profile and experience on social networking sites but it may not yield results. Alongside, networking and contact building can lead to some leads but this does not guarantee results. Alongside, all of this takes up a lot of time and effort on your part. Word of mouth does not work as well. You may tell your friends, relatives and other family members but how often does it yield results? 

If you want to find quality jobs or good jobs in other cities, you should be a regular visitor to online job classifieds portals. How are these portals helpful? They possess a regular supply of jobs in almost all major sectors. You can reply to advertisements and apply for these jobs or even contact job providers directly if contact details are provided.

Working Abroad As A Hospitality Professional


Several countries are boosting their economy through the development of tourism. Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, UAE are some of the countries that are enticing foreign tourists with luxury hotels, great shopping destinations and beaches to relax in. The largest hotel chains in the world have their hotels in different cities of these countries. Not only are the largest hotel chains making money off these places, but smaller budget hotels have also opened up that cater to customers who cannot afford luxurious hotels.

Sometimes these hotels are much understaffed which is why they want to bring people from overseas to work there. They usually require receptionists, lobby managers, floor managers, chefs, discotheque managers etc. and they hire many Indians to work there. The reason for this sort of hiring is that Indians are well versed in English which is not a big plus point in many of these countries. The payment offered is quite good. It is much more than what you will be making in a hotel working here. Some of these hotels also provide employees with accommodation. The conditions for working here are hygienic and congenial for you.

The opportunities to progress in these hotels are quite high. There are many hotels present in these countries and you can change your job if you do not like your present job. At any point in your life, if you want to come back to the country, then the experience that you gather there will fetch you a good job.

However, we have all heard of scams involving agents who promised a job in a certain restaurant or hotel and instead put people in a sweatshop. You should be aware for the kind of job you are signing up for. It would be best that you do not consult hospitality recruiters for these kinds of jobs. You should instead log into a job portal, upload your CV and find the right kind of job for yourself. You will be able to verify the terms and conditions of the job yourself and also judge how your employer will be like.

You should also make your Visa application through proper channels otherwise you might be stuck with a work permit that won’t be in your favour. Make your working terms and conditions clear before moving. Several Indian expats have faced trouble after leaving their job because their passports were with their employers who were unwilling to return it to them. Since it is a foreign country, the Indian consulate will be your only friend in these matters. Even after approaching the consulate, it may take several weeks for you to receive it back. On the brighter side, these problems were faced mostly by employees in the Gulf countries. Indians working in Russia, Ukraine, Singapore and Malaysia have seldom faced such problems, let alone the ones working in UK and USA.

You can now log into online websites hosting free classifieds to find the right kind of job for you.

How Does Your CV Impact Your Job Prospects?


Most people tend to send in CVs that are 4-5 pages long as a part of a job application. Their CVs record every achievement in their life, right from winning a singing competition in Class I to participating in the local gardening competition. However, it is people with a crisp and short CV who bag a job interview. Therefore, as an applicant, you can judge the importance of sending in a good CV.

Curriculum Vitas are supposed to highlight every aspect of your life relating to the job that you are applying for. The main headings of a CV include educational qualifications, additional trainings obtained, work experience and extra-curricular activities pursued. It has been found that a talent acquisition manager or HR executive doesn’t spend more than 12 seconds reading a CV. Therefore, you need to present your credentials in a compact manner so that the reader can form a complete profile of yours by reading the brief. Since the time spent on a CV is so little, it is best to limit your CV to a single page or so. Below given are some pointers that you can use to prepare your CV:

  • Present your educational information in a tabular format, beginning with the highest educational qualification that you have obtained. This helps the reader assimilate the information without having to go through numerous lines. If you have pursued additional courses, you can mention them at the bottom of the table. 
  • Do not include information that is not relevant to the job. If you are applying for the job of a programmer, there is no use stating the best marks that you scored in high school level history or your vital statistics. Stick to the skills that are best related to the job. 


  • Do not include too much of personal information as it deviates the reader from the main content of the CV. 
  • If you have pursued a number of extra-curricular activities and have won a number of accolades for it, then mention those that are of much importance, among the others. For e.g. if you have won an international, national or state level tournament, then it would do justice to leave out the ones that you won at the inter college or school level. 
  • Highlight your job experience because every recruiter would want to hire someone with work experience as they would have to put in less effort to teach the person. Do not go into details about working in the firm- simply mentioning the name of the firm, your period of working, the post that you held would do. You can also include a sentence or two about your job profile, but not more than that. Even if you have completed an internship, it would benefit you loads to mention it on your CV. 

If you are not sure of how to make resumes, then you can log onto different websites to get them made according to a set template. You can also outsource it to a company. By getting a proper CV made, you can get the requisite exposure in your attempt at job search.

Making A Mark In The Advertisement World


A lot in the world depends on the way we sell concepts. We want to own iPhones because we have been shown in advertisements that they are exceptionally good products and are meant for a certain class of people. Consumerism depends a lot on how ads project a particular product to be like. Therefore, to influence a large number of people, you need to be highly convincing. The kind of message you want to show through videos should make people want to buy what you are selling.

Advertisement is not only meant for the television media. Advertisements can be print campaigns, internet campaigns, radio campaigns etc. The advertisements that we see on television are now available on websites like YouTube. Every brand worth its name has a page on Facebook to promote itself by giving more information about their existing and upcoming products, offers etc.

In order to be good at advertising, you need to be creative. You need to think of ways in which people would take an instant liking to what you have to say. It could be something that the masses relate with or it could be something that they have never thought of before and would like to try. A lot of advertisements that we see on television pertain to real life examples- behaviour of people in certain situations of daily life. The advertisement that you make should have a concept that people immediately identify with.


Wanted Jobs

When you start out with advertisement jobs, you will not be asked to create an advertisement all by yourself. You will be involved as an understudy first, to learn the tricks of the trade. You might also be asked to be a copywriter with the company. As you gather experience, you will be handed more important jobs. Good advertising companies usually do not need to go out on a limb to hunt for clients. However, it does no harm to bring in a new account.

Advertisement firms usually have several divisions- print media, video commercials, radio and podcasts and social media advertisements. At first you will not be allotted a specific division to work for. However, as time goes by and you discover your penchant for a particular medium, you will be assigned to work on that division.

Media jobs can be quite taxing in terms of the number of hours you put in. You might have to work for more than 8 hours in a day if it is demanded. Before presentations and pitches to clients, you might have to work late into the night. Firms usually offer pick up and drop off services to employees in these situations. However, the hours won’t seem long as you will be working with a group of people and you can interact with them. The pay is not very good in the beginning but as you go on proving your mettle, it will be hiked manifold in your advertising job.

You can find jobs and traineeships in advertising by browsing through online classifieds or job portals.

How Important Is A Good Resume?


The first thing that an individual forwards to a company for a job is his/her curriculum vitae or resume. A resume is a summary of all the achievements of a person on a certain career track. It includes details of schooling, college, professional degrees earned, internships completed and past jobs along with personal details. A resume is supposed to give an employer basic idea about an applicant’s work and personal profile.

Before looking at graduation mark sheets and certificates, a recruiter looks at the resume of an individual to judge whether s/he fits the bill. Once the resume passes the scrutiny test, his/her certificates are looked into. Hence, forwarding a good resume is of utmost importance.

There are certain things that one should bear in mind about writing a resume:
  • Keep a resume as short as possible- Given the condition of the job market in the country, a recruiter has to sift through hundreds of resumes before drawing up a list of potential candidates for an interview. Hence, the recruiter does not have much time to read through a resume. It has been opined that recruiters do not spend more than 12 seconds on a single resume.
  • Abstract data as much as possible- The information in a resume needs to be presented in a way that gives a recruiter the largest amount of information about you in the shortest space possible. You can achieve such a feat if you follow this format:
    Post Your Resume
    Resume Tips
    1. Use tables to represent your academic qualification. Make a few columns in the table and write in your school’s name, college’s name, university’s name etc. It would be best to start with the highest degree you have earned.
    2. Use bullet points to highlight special features about your academic life like holding offices in school or college etc.
    3. When you are mentioning your work experience, mention the name of the organization, the location, the period of work and the post that you held in the organization. Do not go into many details.
    4. Do not mention unnecessary personal information about yourself. For e.g. if you are applying for a position of a data analyst, there is hardly much point in mentioning your height, weight, blood group etc.
    5. If you have participated in a lot of extra-curricular activities and have won a lot of accolades, then mention only those which are important in your field.
  • As the time given to your resume by a recruiter is very limited, it would be best to limit your resume to a single page.

Many people find it difficult to write such a resume. They can always seek help from site for employment for tips on writing a crisp resume. Once the resume is written, a person can upload it on their profile on a job hunting site or online classifieds and see offers pour in. A well written resume can go a long way to get you noticed by a potential recruiter.

Being A Teacher - A Fulfilling Job


A lot of people dismiss the work of a teacher based on the adage that those who couldn’t do anything become teachers. However, teachers are the foundation of a nation- an individual becomes good if s/he is taught well. Moulding so many people in terms of ideas and ideology is very fulfilling. When past students come up to a teacher to talk to him/her, a teacher becomes elated with pride on hearing a student’s achievements.

To become a teacher, one needs the following characteristics:
Patience- The group of students to be taught is a heterogeneous one. Every student comes from a different background. The assimilation capacity of students is different. Hence, a teacher needs to be patient with all.

Perseverance- Since the capacity to assimilate is not the same among students a teacher might have to put in a little more effort than what s/he does for a good student. A teacher’s aim is not to produce the highest score achiever, but it is to take the whole class forward together.

Righteousness- A teacher needs to be an epitome of morals. S/he is a figure that students look up to which is why s/he needs to set the right example to a student.

Guide- Whenever a student is stuck; a teacher should be able to guide the student out of the dilemma. When in need, a teacher should appear to a student as a friend.

Teachers are required at all kinds of educational institutions- schools, colleges, professional courses etc.Many people may not be comfortable teaching school children but want to become teachers. Such people have the alternatives of becoming college and university professors. The higher up an individual wants to teach the more qualifications he or she requires. For college teacher’s jobs, it is mandatory to complete a PhD degree and clear NET examination.

For school teacher’s jobs, an individual needs to complete the B.Ed degree. The criterion that needs to be fulfilled for technical education based schools is different. If one is stuck with housework and cannot devote too much time to work, they can take up giving tuitions. Many people support their households by giving tuitions at home. You can also join a coaching centre as a teacher.

Earlier, the salaries of teachers were not much and teachers mostly remained in the profession for their love of education. Nowadays, the pay scale is fixed by central and state government which is why teachers can live comfortably off their earnings. Being a teacher also has another perk- lot of holidays. School and College teachers get holidays during summer and winter vacations and most institutions are closed on Saturdays hence they get two days off in a week. Also, the work hours are quite comfortable.

If you want to be a teacher and feel that you have the needed qualities, you can log into online classifieds to look up such jobs. You can key in your city and preferred area and the website will show you vacancies available in local institutions. You can also sign up with a recruitment agency to find suitable employment in a school.

Doing Your Bit For The Society - Join An NGO


Most social services are now done through non-governmental organizations. Non-governmental organizations are no more viewed to be institutions that visit remote villages to distribute food and clothing items. The work of NGOs is now divided further into sub categories. NGOs tend to concentrate on only one or two aspects, so that they get the job done well. Some concentrate on child education while others concentrate on mitigating domestic violence against women. NGOs receive a lot of grant and aid from foreign and domestic organizations which is why they are working more efficiently than before.

Even governments of certain states in India provide funds to NGOs to perform their duties better. Developmental work in the country is now happening through the public private partnership mode and NGOs are playing a pivotal role in doing so.

It is a common misconception of people that NGOs work only in rural areas. Contrary to popular belief, NGOs work in the city also on the issues of human trafficking, rights of domestic help, adult education etc. Some NGOs are also engaged in providing better livelihoods to people in rural and urban areas. They develop business models which will help a household earn better and at the same time will help improve the welfare of the community as well. Such projects are knows as social entrepreneurship. More than handing out products and commodities to the needy and unfortunate, NGOs are building these models so that the people of an area can sustain themselves without being dependent on hand outs by the government or other agencies.

NGOs nowadays require not only social workers but also economists who can analyse the feasibility of business models being thought of by an NGO. They also build socially sustainable business models depending on the capital outlay of the NGO. NGOs require people from all backgrounds as teachers, educators, implementers etc.




Earlier, NGOs hardly paid their staff. Only those with a philanthropic bent of mind would work with these institutions. Over time, the numbers of funding institutions have gone up and NGO workers get paid for their work. The pay might not be much but the sense of satisfaction is immense. Some NGOs even have the finances to pay interns!

If you have always wanted to work with the underprivileged, then joining an NGO would be the best idea. You can gain a lot of exposure to real life crises and solutions. Working for non-profit organizations can be quite valuable in getting you placed at a good company. If you have plans of studying abroad, then working for an NGO will work to your advantage. The selection process of NGOs is not very strict. Most NGOs would take you on after a simple telephonic or personal interview. Some of the larger organizations do hold several rounds of interviews to select their employees.

You can now NGO jobs in India by logging into an online classifieds website. You can search according to the city of your preference and also your area of preference. Through such websites, you can find the right NGO for you to work with.
