3 Easy Steps to Get Hired Now

One of the easiest ways to find a job is to let it find you. Yep that's the secret. You don't have to go line up & fill up forms everywhere. You let the jobs come to you. How do you do that?

Well let's start at the beginning - the job seeker. The job seeker has to be more visible.

1. Put yourself out there - be visible. Sign up on job sites like Jobstreet.com, Jobsdb.com, Bestjobs.ph. I have no bias for these online job sites but I just happen to know they work. Companies actually use these sites to find prospect applicants.

These sites also have job alerts you can sign up too so that if there's a job that's right up your alley, it can be emailed to you on a routine basis so you can apply for the ones you like.

2. Network - ask your friends. They're your best referrals. They know what it's like & they care about you so they won't just let you go work for a place that is terrible (without telling you about it in advance at the very least)

3. Update you resume - now employers hunt down applicants & review their resumes. If you don't make a good first impression, you won't get that first call or email. So better make sure your resume is as pretty as ever

These are the easiest & fastest ways for you get the job you want.

To bring attention to European Anti-trafficking Day back in October, McCann-Erikson Belgium created a campaign that illustrates just how connected those in the human trafficking trade are to their jobs.

Each of the three ads shows a person "connected" to their profession. Too much so I would say. Looking at these remind me never to get too attached to my job.

Would You Like This Job? Wanted Drinker To Join Dad In Pub

"Wanted: Person to accompany elderly gentleman to the pub" -- and the lucky winner will even get paid for sharing a friendly pint of beer.

Mike Hammond put the advertisement in his village post office so his widowed 88-year-old father Jack could have someone to chat to on twice-weekly visits to a southern England pub from a local nursing home.

"It's got to be the best job in the world," Mike Hammond said as he sifted through a list of likely candidates who will be paid 7 pounds an hour plus expenses.

The successful applicant must not be a woman, a teenager or "somebody who is just going to get wrecked. Dad is not a heavy drinker," Mike Hammond told the Times.

His father likes women, he said, but it would be a little bit awkward going out to the pub with a lady he didn't know.
