Job searching on the internet for a business major
I hate job searching on the Internet! It’s really a dreadful experience, and I think for most of us who majored in business - we would all agree. searching.gifI always begin by first checking job searching sites like Monster.com and Careerbuilder.com, always finding the leads to be very disappointing, and when I get called by a prospective employer, it’s usually for something undesirable: no, I don’t want to open up my own life insurance branch, pay for all my own licensing, and then hustle and sell to all my friends - and then hopefully (after months or years of sales tactics) finally have an income. And when did marketing become the same thing as sales? What happened to market research, campaign management, and product placement? Marketing jobs on these sites are nothing but bad sales jobs. Why do I only get pursued for customer service and sales positions, when my major focused on accounting, human resources, marketing, and management? These days these jobs are hard to find unless you have a lot of experience; entry level jobs in these fields have become a thing of the past. Even if the job description is entry level, they still want lots of experience.

If I could go back in time, to say……high school, I think I would have excelled in math or science. Perhaps then, I would have been an engineer by now, or doing research in a bio-tech lab, on a good career path, and making payments on my first condo. Anyhow, as I visit job searching sites (both the widely popular and obscure), and company websites with minimal jobs that I am qualified for, I become more and more disappointed and frustrated with my career and its potential. Even when I do meet someone who may be able to help, they sadly refer me to their cold company website - because it is the only thing that they can recommend. There my resumes and cover letters are doomed get lost in the heaping piles of other submissions, and there it will stay because I don’t have years of experience, an ivy league education, or a technical background, and for the millions of us who don’t - we are all chewing, and fighting at each other for the same entry level jobs, and doing it behind a computer screen over the Internet. Sorry…I don’t mean to be too discouraging - I’m just frustrated with my career path.

Job Vacancy For Disabled People

A friend sent me the following comic strip that he did a few weeks back. I have meant to put it up in a website that I am developing to deal specifically with disability issues in Malaysia. Since I know myself too well and that I will procrastinate, this strip will be placed in this blog first.

The story in the comic is a true reflection of the situation here in Malaysia. Although some corporations are genuine in employing disabled persons for their skills and qualifications, many do it merely as a corporate social responsibility (CSR) exercise to show that they care and to gain publicity by getting the press to highlight their magnanimity. Surprisingly, cheap publicity stunts like these are able to garner accolades from the public.

Truth be told, we are still very far away from a masyarakat yang benar-benar penyayang. We are a society that sees disabled people as opportunities to be charitable. There is a reason why 80% of disabled people of working age are jobless. We do not have to look far and deep to find out. I have disabled friends who are still hunting for jobs two years after their graduation. And this comic strips tells you why.

Top 10 industries in carrier

The skills shortage is biting across all industries but there are some sectors that are still expanding despite the current economic slowdown. Here's ten top industry sectors that are currently enjoying a boom period, have the most vacancies, and offer the best career prospects for the near future.
===============================================================
1. Plumbing
-----------------
There are over 30,000 unfilled plumbing vacancies in the UK, thanks in part to the expansion of the higher education system that drew people away from skilled trades and apprenticeships. The vacancies are also partly due to Australia’s demand for British plumbers, which has lured many of our trades-people to abandon the UK for a new life Down Under, according to the Institute of Plumbers. Some plumbers can charge as much as £85 call-out fee and earn in excess of £50,000 per annum, whereas the average plumber will typically earn £25-35,000 a year.
===============================================================
2. Construction
---------------------
With the Olympics in 2012 and Commonwealth Games in 2014 being held in London and Glasgow respectively, in addition to a series of ambitious construction projects throughout the UK over the next six years, demand for construction workers is at an all-time high. Growing at a rate of 17% each year, the industry needs more than 17,000 skilled workers to fulfil these plans, according to the ECITB.
====================================================================== 3. Oil and Gas
-------------------
The recent rise in fuel prices and claims that the world’s existing oil reserves are drying up haven’t stopped oil production. In addition, with a sharp increase in demand from the likes of India and China, not to mention the amount of oil needed to fuel the extra 4 million vehicles that will be on British roads by 2010, new sources need to be tapped into. This has created a booming sector for engineers – some of whom are reported to be commanding rates of £600-700 per day.
===========================================================
4. IT & Computing
-------------------------
The UK’s IT industry is growing at five to eight times the national growth average and needs around 150,000 new entrants every year to meet current levels of demand. However, with 58% of employers struggling to fill positions, this has pushed salaries up to an average of £40,300 per annum. And in the next three years, it is estimated that more than half of the UK’s GDP will be generated by people within this sector as the country moves to a knowledge-based economy, according to the 2007 Developing the Future report. Data analysts and information officers are most in demand.
===========================================================
5. Midwifery
-----------------
In the next ten years, the UK population is forecast to exceed 70 million – a combination of immigration into the country and the fact that birth rates have continued to rise by 12.5% every year. And with a high proportion of midwives due to retire over the next few year, a further 10,000 new entrants are needed to fill their places, according to the Royal College of Midwives. Salaries now range from around £19,000 for newly qualified midwives to over £36,000 for senior roles.
==========================================================
6. Teaching
----------------
With 32,000 vacancies to fill every year and a 10% fall in applicants enrolling on teacher training courses in 2008, there is a huge demand for teachers. Maths, English, History, Chemistry and French teachers are among the most sought after, according to the Policy Exchange. The Government’s Teacher Training Agency is offering £5,000 ‘golden hellos’ to encourage more applicants and newly qualified teachers can expect to earn up to £28,000 per year.
======================================================================
7. Finance
--------------
The banking and financial sector currently employs around 350,000 people throughout the UK. And despite fears of mass job losses and the closure of some high-profile financial institutions such as Northern Rock, demand remains relatively robust. The Skills Review suggests that there are around 6,000 vacancies at present, with product analysts, risk managers and credit analysts being the most in demand.
======================================================================
8. Customer Services
-----------------------------
Many organisations – particularly within the banking and insurance sectors - who had moved their customer services overseas, particularly to India, have responded to growing public criticism and decided to relocate their operations back to the UK. Indeed, the number of call centres operating in the UK has risen by 21% since 2001 to 6,900 and the industry now employs over 800,000 people, according to the Sector Skills Council. Although the average salary is only £14,300, staff can earn additional bonuses.
=================================================================== 9. Public Relations
--------------------------
The media is becoming increasingly specialised and fragmented to the extent that organisations wishing to promote their brand are constantly looking for more cost-effective and targeted ways to get their message across. As such, sizeable chunks of an organisation’s advertising budget are being used for public relations campaigns. The UK PR industry is now worth over £6.5 bn and, with account directors typically earning £53,000 and more a year, it is easy to see why many within the sector set up their own company after a few years in the industry, according to the CIPR.
====================================================================== 10. Nursing
----------------
Britain’s changing demographic means that demand for more nurses is higher than ever. With 180,000 nurses (one-in-three of all nurses) due to retire in the next ten years added to the fact that over 5,000 nurses a year are leaving the UK to work in Australia and the US, the need for new recruits is evident, according to the Royal College of Nursing.
======================================================================
