The good thing about it is that they have a job search by country and then by area, making this truly an international resource, which I really like. If you are looking for <a href="http://71f515pdy5v1dd9i3xsc1dsexe.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_blank">Carribian jobs</a>, or are learning <a href="http://d35440ze03l6lf5mx329wsbw1s.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_blank">Hindi</a> to teach in India, they have you covered. The site seems organized and consistent in its layout, which makes for easier navigating. They have a A-Z keyword search page, which I really like, and helps you to see at a glance if they can answer the questions you may have regarding your job search. The advice in the career guide is practical, but really nothing you probably don’t already know. The employment news seems up to date and there are very few ads or distractions. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><br />

The site has been around since 1994 which is impressive to me since it appears to be a “one woman shop” – she obviously knows her stuff. If you find a job on this site, drop me a line. I’d be interested in hearing your story. <o:p></o:p></span></div></div>NYAGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15103778493531339517noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7028516848181900190.post-24594934314055934742011-12-08T07:10:00.001-05:002011-12-08T07:12:34.457-05:00Website Review: eFinancial Careers<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXaHloGOvIMCEXv9cUwGx2AvI2lm5a1FavWeWor22sCWHKimNMqG80Cd88oCB5aky4GCPzdYcc9SpTKasSUQKuZKkZ58niqY1fKfS7atD9pbFh58pKvi9Q0yjD9zhv6_vqVVMYuHLmh-w/s1600/efin.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="221" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXaHloGOvIMCEXv9cUwGx2AvI2lm5a1FavWeWor22sCWHKimNMqG80Cd88oCB5aky4GCPzdYcc9SpTKasSUQKuZKkZ58niqY1fKfS7atD9pbFh58pKvi9Q0yjD9zhv6_vqVVMYuHLmh-w/s320/efin.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"></div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222;">Understand your employer’s expectations – This can’t be emphasized enough!</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222;">When you have already established rapport in the office that is great – your employer is already familiar with your work ethic.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222;">But if not. . . then there is the possibility of some major misunderstandings.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222;">Be sure that you both clearly know what is expected and keep communication open.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222;"> </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222;">Do all that you can to meet and exceed your employer’s expectations.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222;">Set up a comfortable, separate space for your work area. This is vital.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222;">My first work at home job was in my bedroom and I found that I couldn’t get a good night’s rest because my job was there staring me in the face!</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222;">Also, working in a busy living room or a messy kitchen doesn’t do anything toward having a “productive” state of mind.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222;"> </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222;">Set boundaries with your family and friends.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222;">When you work from home, family seems to interpret this as not working at all.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222;">And that can be bad. . .real bad.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222;">Communicate well with your family regarding your type of work, work hours and what you need from them during this time “on the clock”.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222;">Schedule daily and weekly breaks. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222;">As CareeRealism puts it “Many home workers find they spend too much time at the computer which can decrease overall productivity. Schedule breaks into your day. Take a regular lunch (at any time you want – no one is watching!) and stand up and walk around periodically.”</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222;">I personally found myself working </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222;">5-10 hours non-stop.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222;">In front of a computer, that is not good for your eyes and being seated for that long is definitely not good for your body.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222;">Take a break – you deserve it!</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222;">Understand your work style.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222;">Tackle your hardest task at your mentally-best part of the day.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222;">Keep track, be organized.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222;">Or else you will end up frustrated from working hours and accomplishing nothing!</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222;">Take care of yourself.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222;">People assume that someone working from home is “pampered” but that is rarely the case.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222;">More often than not, we work twice as hard than when we are in the office.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222;"> </span></li>
</ul><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="color: #222222; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Ok - so there you have it. Enough about what I think – what do you think? What types of challenges have you overcome working from home and what advice would you give to a newby?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div></div>NYAGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15103778493531339517noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7028516848181900190.post-35701968768553601882011-12-06T07:58:00.002-05:002011-12-08T07:19:06.056-05:00Basic Job Search Websites<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />

As you may have noticed from our website, <a href="http://notyouraveragegig.com/">NotYourAverageGig.com</a>, we are an Employment/Job Search Resource created to help you - the fearless job seeker looking for the non-so-average employment opportunity. But what are we going to write about in a blog? Well, what are you wanting to know? We figured that you would like to know more about the companies listed on our website, the processes that they have for hiring, whether they are legit opportunities or not and the like. And if we're thinking right, you probably want to know what you can do to make money at home. . .regardless of where "home" maybe. We cater to world travelers, especially those volunteering to "declare good news of good things" world wide, so we will be certain to post global opportunties about working abroad, seasonal work and jobs that you can do via the internet anywhere in the world where the internet may be found. So, bookmark this site, put us in your favorites or suscribe to our feed so that you don't miss any of the great things to come!</div></div>NYAGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15103778493531339517noreply@blogger.com0
