How To Get A
Job Using
With Help Along
The Way!
Don Lamont
Need A Job ASAP?
With the economy the way it is tover the world there are a lot of people that need a job
ASAP. It is getting very difficult to land a job or ratherthe job you want and with so
much competition. You will need to be on top of your game, and prepare a job hunting
strategy. The days are pretty much gone where you will see help wanted signs in store
windows. Now most of the time you have to apply online for a job at most major
businesses. This can be a slow, tedious process. There
are some steps to follow that will speed up the process.
First of all if you make up a resume with all of your infor-
mation, such as all the jobs you have had and dates of
employment. Include job descriptions and precisely what
duties you performed there. A big majority of the applications you will fill out online are
pretty much the same. It might take an hour or more to fill just one out, but if you have
all of your information at your fingertips you don't have to keep trying to remember all
your work history and dates you worked at each job. This will make going through an
application so much easier and take a lot less time.You should make a schedule every
day for a certain amount of time to devout to job hunting. Start by searching in your
local newspaper.
You can't wait till the afternoon to look, by that time any new job posted will be gone to
the early bird. Then look for new jobs posted on the internet. A lot of local employment
agencies post their jobs online so you don't have to go into the office to look. Then
decide on a specific number of businesses a day and put in applications online for
them. If there are any certain ones you are interested in you can call to see if they are
taking applications and if you have to apply in person or online. With some of businesses
you have to renew your application every month or they are deleted so always make
sure you mark down the dates you applied at each business and go back just under a
month and renew the application.

Using Social Site To Find Work
With the high volume of people applying for the same jobs it is increasingly competitive
to stand out from the crowd. Which is why it make sense to be diverse in your
approach when applying and that is doing what many people are not doing. Though
there are free services online to finding jobs where you will produce or update your
resume with a cover letter, one thing to bare in mind
is that it is not the resume that will do the selling
for you but rather the cover letter tailoring the job
requirement is what will capture the employer's
attention. Here this guide will not be about the pro's
and cons of finding work. Here you will be shown
other ways effective ways of finding work using social
media sites like LinkedIn, Facebook. Also there is an opportunity to be your own boss
using these social platforms at the end of the guide that includes full training.
Using social media sites is a better way to connect with job recruiters and land the job
of your dreams. You're probably wondering which social media sites are the best to use
for this purpose. The truth is that all of them provide some valuable connections that
can help you in your job search. These include Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn.
Twitter
Twitter allows you to connect with people who have shared interests without having to
know them personally. This provides a distinct advantage over other sites because you
can start following people in your target industry without requesting their permission.
You can then start a conversation with the people you follow and build up a rapport.
Then use the site to tell people you are looking for a job. Many of your contacts on
Twitter can help you get in touch with the right person. Twitter also provides a unique
opportunity to search for jobs. In Twitter Search, type in a few key words (i.e. engineer-
ing jobs) and all conversations with these words will show up.
Paid4SM.com
Wihin Twitter you can also subscribe to the RSS feed for the search and check it a few
times a day.
Facebook
Facebook is one of the most popular social networks today. Millions of people are on
this site, which is an advantage for you, the job seeker. Search for people you know in
your industry to add as friends, and make sure to show your skills on your profile. You
can participate in discussions and let people know you are an expert in your field,
which will get the attention of the hiring manager browsing the site looking for potential
job applicants.
LinkedIn
LinkedIn has the unique designation of being a social network for working professionals.
This can help you immensely in your job search. You can connect with former co-workers
and colleagues around the world, and let them know you are searching for a new job.
You can also get recommendations from people in your network, which will stand out to
a hiring manager looking at your profile. You can also utilize LinkedIn's search engine
to look for a job, as well as browse company profiles to see what they value in their
employees.
Make Connections
Regardless of which social network you choose, there are a few tips you should follow
to maximize your chances of finding a job using social media. More so now than ever,
it's more about WHO you know than what you know. Making connections with people in
your industry can prove to be invaluable in tough times. A lot of jobs get filled before
anyone knows about them, because recruiters recommend people they know in the
industry. To build a network of contacts, you need to get in touch with colleagues, former
classmates, former co-workers and supervisors, and alumni. It also helps to find contacts
in other industries to broaden your reach. Ask for help once you have made connec-
tions with a few people, let them know you are looking for a job and ask for their help.
Paid4SM.com
They can help you find a job that is a good match for your skills, and provide valuable
advice on how to get your foot in the door. You can also leverage your contacts by
reaching out to their contacts to broaden your network. Promotion is key to get yourself
out there for recruiters to see, you
need to promote your skills. Tailor
your profile to showcase your skills
and experience, and leave out any
questionable details or facts that
could turn off a potential employer.
Some job seekers find it helpful to
create a website that includes a port-
folio and resume, and then link to it
from your social network profile.
Most recruiters will look at a website if it is listed in your profile, which could prove to be
invaluable and provide more relevant information about your skills than your profile is
able to.
Join the DiscussionStart participating in discussions and showcase your expertise.
This can help you make connections and help you leverage your skills.
Using the mentioned social sites one must realise that a resume and a cover letter
alone is going to guarantee getting a job and one must consider the the option of how
they will stand out among the crowd. So the only solution is to think about extending
yourself as a brand to show potential employers who you and what you about the same
way companies advertise their products or services.
The next chapter will focus on where you can hire people to do simple or complex jobs
for pocket change. The adnatage of the site is that you can be as creative as you want
requesting the help of people to do the work for you allowing you more time to concen-
trate on other tasks.

Many people don't really know what Fiverr.com is and the benefits they can gain from
it. Here you will understand what this popular website has to offer and how to take full
advantage of the services it provides. As you read on, you will learn how to earn money
by providing services on Fiverr. You will also discover what you can gain from other
sellers on this website. To start with, Fiverr is primarily a huge marketplace where people
can sign up for an account and post anything they desire to do for $5. It is the five

discover some of the really
amazing tasks that people
are willing to do.
With this basic understanding
about Fiverr, let's look at how
you are going to put it to use.
First, you need to define your
primary goal. What do you
really want to achieve? If
your intention is to make
some money by offering a
kind of service for $5, this is
a very simple task. All you
need to do is go to Fiverr.com and sign up for an account - it's free.
Then you update your profile and post the task that you want to do for five dollars. The
task you want to do is commonly referred to as a gig. You may not be interested in
offering a service but rather you need someone to outsource an important task to -
Fiverr is the best place to find someone. For example, you may have spent several
weeks putting up your website and writing SEO articles to boost your page rank.
You may have even signed up with web 2.0 websites like Facebook, Pinterest,
Instagram and the likes. And now you seem to be so busy that you are wondering if
you'd be able to keep up with the work required to get top rankings for your website. In
such a case, Fiverr is a great place to go to for help.

Fiverr is a good place to start for the preparation to getting the job you want if done
right. The key thing to do would be to browse the site typing in the keyword relating to
your requirment or selecting the menu category and finding the gigs right for you to
bookmark. In the last chapter the subject of branding was mentioned in order to stand
out from the crowd. Basically you can be as creative as you want using Fiverr and is
only limited by your imagination. When making preparations to applying for jobs it make
sense to be selective on what jobs you require suitable to increase your chances of
Since you will be promoting yourself as a brand will get the attention of more employers
ringing your phone rather than you chasing them. A fundamental point you will need to
consider noting when purchasing a gig on Fiverr.com is you must ensure to communicate
clearly and explicitly with the person you want to buy from. The more effective your
communication with the other party is the more likely you are to be happy with the
outcome of the deal.

If your resume needs to updating or perhaps it needs revamping you could hire a pro-
fessional and with a good rating on Fiver to change things around emphasising your
full potential and using certain words to attract the employers attention.
You could hire someone on Fiver to create a wordpress blog about you or perhaps
recreate the same resume as a site blog with links to pictures or in turn to your face-
book fanpage about you which you could also hire someone in that area to create.
To add to the chain of branding, you could hire someone on Fiverr to create a video ad
about you selling your skills, highlighting your strengths with punchline for employment
and have your wordpress blog linking to it on YouTube.
