How can I better my chances of finding a job?

Nick Roy November 7th, 2007

Browsing Yahoo Answers today, I found an interesting question from job seeker.

I made a resume, that’s really professional looking and impressive. I think it will help me. But I was hoping someone could offer me some good advice that might help me get a job. The bad news is I was fired from my previous job of one year, so I’m little cautious, and scared that because of that a new job is hopeless.

Well, job seeker, do you have in-depth knowledge of some topic or field? Try writing about that topic and publish your articles to your own website using a blog. You may end up doing so well on your website by generating ad revenue that you won’t need to get a full time job. In the meantime, by having your own website, you create a way for potential employers to view your work. If they like your work, they will contact you. So it is a good idea to have your contact information on your website, as well as links to your RSS feeds in a prominent location.

Writing For Social Media

Nick Roy October 31st, 2007

Muhammad Saleem of CopyBlogger wrote an interesting an article about writing for social media. The audience that you are targeting dictates where and what you write. The audience that frequents social media sites tend to be the same audience that read the tabloids. They may even be the far left fanatics that are causing all of the trouble in this country; making up stuff just to sell papers.

When deciding to promote your business in the social media, it comes down to knowing your target audience. If your customers are consertive, chances are they may not be frequenting the social media sites. On the other hand, if your customers are more liberal than the general population, they will be monopilizing sites such as MySpace, Digg, StumbleUpon, Yelp, etc.
