If the number of people already using Twitter to do just that is anything to go by, the answer is a resounding yes. But there is something worth noting here that every potential tweeter should think about before tweeting in 140 characters or less.

The worst thing you can do is to pile in, start following countless different people and ask them all if they have any work at home positions available or anything that needs doing that they would pay you for. What does this sound like to you? To many people it sounds quite desperate – which of course is exactly what it is.

The key to solving this problem and finding the kind of contacts you are looking for on Twitter is to go about the task in a different way. Instead of asking people if they have work available, why not start connecting with them first? If you ask them straight out it is akin to being sold something when you aren’t looking to buy anything. This is how other people will view your efforts, and you won’t get very far as a result.

The best way to start is by focusing on your interests when it comes to working from home. You must know what it is you want to do otherwise you won’t be able to focus in on the people who could help you. For instance if you want to write web pages and articles, you should focus on people who want to develop their existing websites. If you want to be a photographer you need to zoom in on people who are looking for photos to use on their websites and in other ways as well. This provides you with your starting point.

Once this is done, you can set up your mini bio and tweets to appeal to this kind of market. Your tweets can therefore be relevant to your target market and also to your skills, without being overly promotional at the same time.

From this point on you should look for people to follow who may be interested in eventually developing a working relationship with you. As you follow people you will see some will start following you back. Thank them for doing so and take every opportunity to actually engage in conversation and take part in discussions on relevant topics.

Another good bet is to search Twitter for jobs relating to your area of interest and expertise. The more people you have following you and the more active you are on the site, the more you will find it possible to snag jobs in this way. Don’t expect it to happen every day but look for potential job leads regularly so you have a better chance of getting one or two when they do arise.

Twitter has helped many people find the jobs they were looking for. But as you can see you need to go about things in just the right way.

No matter what kind of jobs there are that you can do from home, there are two basic types of people out there that do those jobs. Firstly there is the person who works full time at home for one specific company. They perform pretty much the same job every day and they don’t have to go looking for various other jobs or positions because they only work for that one company.

Secondly there is the freelancer. These people work for themselves instead of being associated as an employee for a specific company. As such it is down to them to find their work. This has to be a constant process otherwise they will end up running out of work to do.

If you are a freelancer or you are thinking of doing this when you start working from home, you need to consider where you will find your work. For instance will you advertise or promote yourself online or offline or both? Will you have your own website to help promote your services? What about the type of businesses you will target?

As you can see there are plenty of questions and options to think about all the time, so you have to be on your toes and have some kind of marketing plan in mind. If you don’t, you will simply go from one place and idea to another. This can work on occasion but it does pay to have that plan to back you up. When it works you can just keep on applying it to different situations and scenarios so you can get the results you want.

One good way to find lots of different job leads as a freelancer is to look for them in different places all the time. If you have specific job related websites that aggregate lots of jobs and bring them together all in one place, put them in a specific folder in the bookmarks section on your computer. All you have to do is to remember to check them each and every day for new leads.

You can also join bidding sites that enable you to find jobs immediately and put in a bid for them. Not everyone likes or needs to use these, but they can be particularly good for beginners as well as more established freelancers.

The important thing to remember is that not all freelancers do the same kind of work. As such you may be looking for a specific audience that will be willing to buy your services. For instance, if you are a web designer you will be sought out by people who want to have a website built for them. But if you are a writer you might be sought out by people who want web content, articles for magazines, press releases and much more besides.

So you see it is vital to know where you will look for work. And when you find those useful links you will be able to make the most of them on a daily basis.

Since our firm does senior level and above staffing, our clients (believe me or not), do not discriminate due to age because a lot of people in these positions have a good amount of work experience, but it seems that many companies do shy away from hiring older employees. What is the reason for this perceived notion? I do not know because I’ve always felt that talent is talent. Though, if you, as an older job seeker, feel that you are not getting in the door due to your age, here are some tips for that should assist you upon implementing a successful job hunt.

Dates and Titles of Older Positions Held

If you want to look younger on your resume, don’t put that you were a Sales Manager in ‘77. Instead, change that title to a “Sales Representative” or similar (if you are going for a position other than business development) job and focus on sales you did for the company, thus shying away from and not mentioning the word “management.”

Out of all the outlined tips provided below, this is the first and most crucial way to start to conjure up some interest in your resume and what the assets that you can bring to the companies that you are applying to work for.

Male vs. Female Tendencies

A recent study by Rutgers University showed that males who are dominate during an interview are much more likely to get the job than males who cannot control the conversation in any sense and, subsequently are only talked at and who fail to make the interview a “give and take.” Conversely, the opposite goes for females. Therefore, equipped with this knowledge, upon getting into the interview, you will be more likely to seal the deal and get the offer you deserve.

Go For Broke - Might As Well Put Your Age on the Table

If you feel that, during the interview, you are “behind,” simply state, in a firm voice,

“I understand that I am older and that it puts me a little behind, however I can assure you that I can produce faster and more swiftly than the others going for the job. I’ve done it before and I can do it again.”

Regardless of age, this is what any interviewer wants to hear from any applicant. Also, putting your age in the equation should kill all doubt that you can successfully do the job and that you are worth hiring. Make the interviewer understand that you “understand,” then you are on more than on a level playing field.

What Have You Been Doing Since?

If you have not been employed by the last employer stated on your resume for over 3+ months, it’s best that you don’t have a work history that begins with a specific date for that job and ends with a “- present.” Instead, have a consulting job on your resume.

Then, if asked during the interview as to what you have been doing since your last firm and yourself stopped the relationship, you have something to tell them. Make sure that you are doing something work related while technically unemployed or the interest in your resume will deteriorate.

How to Be a Consultant After Retirement

Jan-16-2012 By IngvarGrimsmo

Retired? Want to still be in the game? Then consider consulting as a retirement self-employment.

In most fields you learn something. Whether you go to school for it or not - you become sort of an expert in your field. No matter what it is. For example, I know a retired fire chief. He is pondering different ways he can contribute to society and make a little business out of it. He is planning to create a safety course/inspection service. Good idea.

There are many ways to go about sharing your knowledge after retirement. You can set up a blog and start writing tips. People will come. You can use flyers, go to trade shows, join clubs etc.

You want to go where your potential clients are. So here are some tips for going forward:

Step 1 - Define Your Perfect Client.

Age, gender, occupation - etc. Write it down. Where do they hang out? Do they have conferences? Blogs?

Step 2 - Find The Hurt - Stir It Up.

Now you need to define what you can do to help reduce their hurt. This is going to be the base of your pitch. Let’s take our fire chief as an example. He definitely can make your home or business safer. No doubts. But how to convince a prospective buyer? Use fear of loss.

Make a list of everything that could go wrong under certain conditions. Loss of home, life and business. Then you make it so by hiring you they can reduce that fear. In some cases you do the reverse. You pitch the desire for gain. This works on services that help people save or make money. You can use both….. very effective.

Step 3 - Write Your Pitch.

First you write it down in long hand. What hurts or potential gain? Physical hurt, property, money - any potential loss by not using your services and knowledge. What concrete gains? Then file it down to a sentence or two.

Step 4 - Start Marketing and Never Stop

Now you go to your potential clients with your pitch. Hold free seminars. Go where they hang out. Trade associations. Absolutely start with a website/blog. Unless you have a good website - you will have difficulty in coming across as credible. The trick with websites for a consultant is to give away 80% of your knowledge - and charge like heck for the rest.

Business Matters.

This is the boring stuff. First, let me say there are two types of “consultants”. The people who actually do hands-on work (they really shouldn’t be called consultants, but contractors) and the people who understands the client’s issues and can device clever and workable solutions. That’s what you want to be.

Charging money

You need to get paid. How much to charge is always a problem to figure out. How much is your time worth? And more important - how much is the value you provide worth to your client? I have pretty well stopped charging by the hour. Having an hourly “rack rate” is good, some clients insist. Thing is with that, once you have an hourly rate you can be compared. “Joe consultant down the street charges ten bucks per hour less than you.” If you are a contractor - fine, that’s the way it is. But if you offer solutions to help increase profits or get more clients - set your rates on the product.

Hourly rates vary wildly. top consultants charge like lawyers. $2-500/Hour. As a new consultant - unless you come from a top position - start off at $95-$130 per hour.

Better still - package a service and charge a fixed fee. That’s what I do. So for example, my friend the fire chief goes into a company, does some questioning and looking around and comes back with a solution to reduce the fire risk factor by 50%. (I am making this up to illustrate). By thinking a little but and crunching some numbers - you figure he can save on insurance, make his employees feel better and so on. Then set your price. Of course, take into consideration your time and expenses. When you set a fixed fee you need to factor in the assignments that might take more time. If your hourly rate is $100 - calculate at least $150/hour for a fixed fee. It works for me, it’s food for thought.

Ingvar is getting close to “the golden age”. He writes about entrepreneurship after retirement. www.retiremententrepreneurs.com

Pharmacist jobs are becoming more and more popular for several reasons.

Summer Job Options For Teens and College Students

Jan-11-2012 By StewartWrighter

If you or your child is searching for a summer job, there are plenty of options. If you are concerned about getting stuck behind a fast food counter with no other option, consider these choices before you begin applying for jobs. Many kids get stuck in low paying jobs like fast food service and newspaper delivery. While there is nothing wrong with kids making minimum wage for spending money, they may be bored or disgusted by what they are doing. Serving fast food is hard work and it may not be the best environment for a teen who struggles with maintaining a healthy diet. Newspaper delivery gets you out and about on your bike or on foot, but few newspaper companies are doing well enough to deliver that many papers each day. The good news is teens have plenty of options if they just look in unexpected areas. Kids can put their cleaning skills to work and work at a maid service or house cleaning company. Cleaning is hard work, but kids are indoors all day and avoiding many of the common temptations teens struggle with.

Another option for kids eager to earn some extra cash during the summer months is painting. Homeowners and businesses are often happy to pay painters and while professional painters have their positive aspects, student painters will often do the job just as well for a much lower price. As a teen, you can offer to provide painting services to neighbors or you can join student painting groups that work together to complete large painting projects in the community.

If you love spending time outdoors, there are plenty of options for teens and college kids to work in landscaping. Learning how to complete landscaping projects gives you a great start for a career in landscaping, or you can just use the knowledge to one day do your own great landscape for your yard while earning some money? Landscaping under the hot sun is back-breaking work, but if you are young and healthy, it might be a great option for you.

Responsible kids may have success freelancing and running errands for people they know and who they live near. You may not be able to find an official employer who will pay you to do this, but if you are motivated and enthusiastic, let friends and neighbors know you are free to take care of things like pet walking, grocery shopping, picking up dry-cleaning, and running a variety of errands. This can be fun for a kid with entrepreneurial spirit and it is a great way to make some money.

For those who want to focus on the pet portion of the errand running, you could just walk dogs all summer. People are usually happy to pass the responsibility of their pets off to others so they can focus on kids and work. If you are able to walk their dogs at mid-day, it will save them the effort of running home from work on their lunch break to take care of pet care.

Stewart Wrighter has an assistant at the office that searched the term maid service Jersey City to hire a service to do general cleaning in the business offices. His wife hired a house cleaning Jersey City company to clean her elderly parent

Is A Temp Agency A Good Way To Find Work?

Jan-8-2012 By AdrianaNotton

A temp agency is in the business of providing staff required by companies on short or long term contracts to carry out a specific job role. An agency will normally maintain a pool of candidates with the skills and experience which are important in the sector or industry they supply staff to. Any of these agencies needs to be able to respond quickly to request for temporary staff so the individuals on their books can be considered as soon as a temporary vacancy becomes available.

Smaller agencies tend to specialize in just one or two specific employment roles or industry sectors. While the larger agencies may cover several separate industries or have teams that deal with a much wider spread of employment roles.

In the majority of cases, the temporary staff member remains contracted and paid by the agency while undertaking work on behalf of the agency. The buyer is then invoiced by the seller on the basis of the hours worked by the temp, plus their commission fees on top.

The HR service will normally be the link and point of contact between the hiring company and the agency consultant. They will be responsible for liaising with the agencies to obtain staff for a specified period of time. Depending on the nature of their contract, the company HR can choose to interview a short list of candidates provided by the agency. Or depending on the nature of the job and the skills and experience level, they may request that the agency just sends someone along.

Using short term temporary staff may be for as little as one day and is often used to fill a stop gap, to assist with a specific workload issue. Longer term contracts can be used to cover sickness absence, maternity or career breaks or to cover holiday periods.

Many job seekers sign up with agencies offering short term work as a stop gap, while they are seeking a long term or permanent appointment. To a certain extent this allows them a degree of flexibility to pick and choose when they are available to take on work and for how long. However, continually turning down offers of work could result in the individual being removed from the agencies books. While temps who build up a reputation as being willing and reliable are likely to be offered more work opportunities.

Many individuals, who require a degree of flexibility in their working and life balance for whatever reason, find that temporary working best meets their needs and can be content working on this basis. They have no need or inclination to seek a full time or part time permanent position.

A temp agency can also be referred to as an employment agency or a placement agency. But in general the latter two are perceived by job seekers as the providers of permanent vacancies. Whereas the temporary agency does what is says and places temporary staff in part time and full time posts for a limited time period only.

Hiring the wrong person can end up costing three times a yearly salary, use our placement agencies to effectively hire the right person the first time.

Job Opportunities in Your Neighborhood

Jan-7-2012 By StewartWrighter

Even if you have steady employment and a decent paycheck each week, you may be looking for an opportunity to make some additional money. There are plenty of part-time jobs available, but many of them involve thankless tasks, pay very little, and offer no flexibility at all. If you are looking for something that can work around your existing schedule, there are still plenty of opportunities. Many of them are right in your own neighborhood. Other homeowners are just as busy as you and there are plenty of times they need someone to help them keep up with tasks around the house. If you have basic homecare skills and you are looking to earn some money, consider helping others with their needs. Tree trimming or tree pruning is a great option if you have the right equipment. Remember, if the branches are near electrical wires, it is always better to leave the trimming for the professionals. But if you have a neighbor that just needs a bit of work, consider pitching in.

Another option for earning some cash doing chores people would rather avoid is car washing. Many people run their vehicles through automatic washes at the gas station, but some prefer a lighter touch. If you have a neighbor who adores his car but lacks the time to wash it as frequently as he would like, consider doing this for payment. Just washing a few cars a week can earn you an extra $100 or more per month. Plus, you are out in the fresh air and enjoying the sunshine while you work.

If your neighbors have dogs, they probably spend a lot of time walking them and caring for them. In some cases, they may even come home from work during the afternoon, just to take out the dog instead of being inconvenienced in this manner, offer to walk the dog for a fee. You may be surprised how much people are willing to pay to get their lunch hour back. During colder weather, your business may increase because people would rather stay indoors where it is warm. The good news is, dogs usually feel the same, so once they have completed their outdoor business, your job is done and you have earned some cash.

Another great winter way to earn extra money is by shoveling. Shoveling is hard physical labor, so many homeowners welcome the opportunity to avoid it. If you are in good shape and you want to earn some money, shoveling is a great option. You will earn extra cash and get plenty of exercise.

Finally, consider landscaping in your neighborhood for money. Every spring and fall, people want to add color to the exterior of their home. You can help them and earn extra money not only do you pick up some extra work; your neighborhood looks brighter and more welcoming when you are done. Plus, landscape work comes with built-in referrals. As your neighbors see your handiwork, they may contact you and offer you additional opportunities.

Stewart Wrighter recently spent time searching the term tree trimming Minneapolis on the internet looking for a service to help around his office building. He hired a tree pruning Minneapolis company to trim all the trees near his house.

Salary Negotiation

Jan-6-2012 By AnthonyScolaro

Most people don’t prefer negotiating to get higher salary, however, firstly you need to know your worth and you need to know what you want and then go after hunting for it. To do this successfully, you always need to be tactful and have your research done to the fullest. Before going for an interview however some tips that are given below, are to help you in get the information (and the salary) you need.

Do Your Research

Many sites out there online with salary calculators can help you get salary ranges. Oftentimes, the job description might not exactly match what you’ll be required to do in the new position. Try to gather a couple of different close job titles and their descriptions to make your work easy. Usually the salaries will be close.

Another good resource is to use your networking contacts to get you the information about the salary you deserve. You would have several people within your network having knowledge about the industry you are in and should be able to give you generalities on what you should expect or demand for a salary. If you do not find someone within your immediate network to help you with this, they may refer you someone who does have the knowledge. This way you can have a better understanding and know-how regarding the salary that you deserve according to your experience.

Items that are Negotiable

Never forget that everything in this world is negotiable. This is not only the salary issue, but also the vacation time, moving costs, medical, signing bonuses, and review time periods with salary raises.

While you don’t want to be extra aggressive with your monetary requirements, use the research you’ve done to negotiate and justify a fair salary for yourself. Don’t forget to do some more selling of yourself, bargaining and demonstrate to the employer what you’ll be able to bring to the company if they fulfill your requirements.

If the company is unable to offer any more money because of departmental budgets that might exceed, they need to stay within, or move on to other items or benefits in your compensation package that would make you more satisfied. Try maybe getting a couple of more vacation days, medical facilities, or ask for a shorter monetary review period. Make sure to have benefits for yourself in case the company cannot offer you the salary that you deserve or maybe expect according to the work load.

Overall, there are a few things you need to remember. Be confident about what you want and don’t feel obligated to accept the very first offer that is given to you. You should have an attitude of being bold rather than just saying yes to the very first offer that is given to you. And when you settle on your compensation package, make sure to get everything in writing. This makes sure that you are being professional as well as the company. It also helps to get rid of any further confusion from both the sides.

How to Break Into Movie Acting

Jan-3-2012 By StewartWrighter

If you have dreamed of heading to Hollywood and finding fame and fortune, and you believe you have the talent to hit it big, there are ways to get started in the businesses that will reduce your risk of failure. Everyday people hop off the bus in hopes of finding luck on the silver screen, but they lack the experience, talent, and know-how to accomplish anything. Those who have put in a lot of hard work and gotten the experience it takes to succeed are the ones that are most likely to succeed. Getting experience before you have been discovered as a future star can be tough, but if you have a plan and you know where to begin, it is possible. The first thing you should do, especially if you have not left for Los Angeles, is contact a modeling agency. Modeling agencies can help you get set up with photographs or head shots and may have tips on getting started in the industry. Many models have taken success with photographs and turned it into a career in acting.

To really get a feel for acting, you must spend time doing it. Participating in theater performances is not exactly the same as movie work, but many would argue it is tougher. When making a movie, you get to redo things that are mistakes, but during live performances, this is not an option. You are also engaged with your audience because they are right in the room. Acting in theater performances gives you a chance to learn how to memorize lines, understand interaction with fellow performers, and understand how rehearsals and state direction works.

One of the most popular ways movie stars get started in their craft is working in commercials. Many of today’s famous actors were once in commercials, and many of them continue commercial work once they are famous. Commercial acting is a great way to get your face out there for talent scouts and casting directors to see, and best of all, it is a great way to make money while waiting for your big break.

When it comes to agents, your success will depend on how aggressive your agent is. You want someone who is experienced and professional, but remember you will have to work hard to work with the best agents. Typically, your agent’s pay is based on a percentage of your earnings, so this is motivation for them to work as hard as they can to make you money.

Finally, the best way to find success in the movie industry is to make you as valuable as possible. Actors who are versatile and who can do more than just look good on-screen have the most opportunities. If you can sing, dance, speak several languages, or speak in convincing accents, be sure casting directors know this. When you audition, find ways to showcase all of your talents and be sure your agent is looking for opportunities in a number of different genres. Flexibility is necessary to build success in Hollywood.

Stewart Wrighter has a friend on the West Coast whose daughter works for a Seattle modeling agency. He hired a group of people from Seattle modeling agencies to do a photo shoot for a local company.
