Translating between English and Mandarin Chinese job

If you looking for working as a translator, that is to translate between English and Mandarin Chinese. And you are fluent in both English and Mandarin Chinese, also you can both translate/speak and write. Luckily, I have a friend who does translating, and she recommended this website:

http://www.atanet.org/

This website is for the American Translators Association and it has a lot of useful information in terms of jobs, which languages you are interested in translating to/from and also it has a list of universities/colleges and other schools that offer programs for certifications in translating or interpreting. Unfortunately, there is a membership fee for this group, but you will find lots of information on the website without having to join.

Good Luck

Extra money, without getting another job?

Try a better-paying job, or a raise. Otherwise, if you aren't selling something, your only option is a second job.

Start your own little business based on your existing skills. Lots of small businesses could use a graphic designer or a bookkeeper. Walk dogs, do lawn and garden care, shovel snow. Hang wallpaper or start a courier service. Take in other kids for a babysitting/child care service.

There is simply no way to make money without exchanging your labor or expertise for it, and to make any money at all will require a big time investment.

Good luck!

Job seeking

Job seeking or Job hunting or is the act of looking for employment, due to unemployment or discontent with a current position. The immediate goal of job seeking is usually to obtain a job interview with an employer which may lead to getting hired. The job hunter or seeker typically first looks for job vacancies or employment opportunities. Common methods of job hunting are:

* using a job search engine
* looking through the classifieds in newspapers
* using a private or public employment agency or recruiter
* finding a job through a friend or an extended business network or personal network

Knowing the employers

It is expected the job seekers will have done a reasonable amount of research into the employers. Some basic information about an employer should be collected first before applying the organization's positions, including full name, locations, web site, business description, year established, revenues, number of employees, stock price if public, name of chief executive officer, major products or services, major competitors, strength as well as challenges.

With all of the resources available on the Internet, expand the research into the employer to discover if the employer's operation is healthy and likely to continue to prosper. If an employer's financial situation is shaky, new employees are often the first one out the door when a cut back occurs. Employers that are companies with publicly traded equities are good subjects for pre-employment research and enable the job hunter to avoid being the last one hired before the reductions and layoffs begin.

Networking

Contacting as many people as possible is the best way to find a job. It is estimated that 60% or higher of all jobs are found through networking.

Applying

One can also go and hand out résumés or Curriculum Vitae to prospective employers. Another recommended method of job hunting is to use cold calling or emailing to companies that one desires to work for and inquire to whether there are any job vacancies.

After finding a desirable job, they would then apply for the job by responding to the advertisement. This may mean emailing or mailing in a hard copy of your résumé to a prospective employer. There is no one correct way to write a résumé but it is generally recommended that it be brief, organized, concise, and targeted to the position being sought. With certain occupations, such as graphic design or writing, portfolios of a job seeker's previous work are essential and are evaluated as much, if not more than the person's résumé. With most other occupations, the résumé should focus on past accomplishments, expressed in terms as concretely as possible (e.g. number of people managed, amount of increased sales or improved customer satisfaction).

Interviewing

Once an employer has received your résumé, they will make a short list of potential employees to be interviewed based on the resume and any other information contributed. During the interview process, interviewers generally look for persons who they believe will be best for the job and work environment. The interview may occur in several rounds until the interviewer is satisfied and offers the job to the applicant.

Types of Jobs

There are several types of jobs, including full-time long-term regular jobs, internship, or contract jobs.

Job hunting in economic theory

Economists use the term 'frictional unemployment' to mean unemployment resulting from the time and effort that must be expended before an appropriate job is found. Search theory is the economic theory that studies the optimal decision of how much time and effort to spend searching, and which offers to accept or reject (in the context of a job hunt, or likewise in other contexts like searching for a low price).

Best job at Disneyland?

I am thinking about disneyland hotel desk or stores.

It would be better to Do the desk. I imagine the stores would suck just like they do anywhere else..a bunch of kids tearing up a store mad cause they cant get what they want..I have to clean it up...The desk I check people in I check people out..I send maids up with extra pillows etc when people are pissy... :)

I know. It's really hard to get a really good job at Disneyland. I wouldn't want to work in the hotel because it's awfully boring and dull. I will be better to try applying for a job in one of the stands or for one of the rides. Makes the job more interesting. Due to Disneyland doesn't promote employees often.

Job search sites recommended

Here are a partial list of some of the job search sites People are using now. Craig's List, Indeed, Yahoo Hot Jobs, Monster, Snag A Job, Job Find, etc

But it would be better, you try www.myjobsearch.com

How to handle multiple job interviews or offers?

How about when you want one job and are still waiting for the interview but you've already been offered another job? Is there a certain etiquette so you don't seem duplicitous? Do you take the offer with the other job? If you get the job you want, should you quit the other job even if you've only worked there for a few days?

Don't take a job that you really aren't wanting if it isn't your first choice. What you should do is ask for some time while you are waiting for the offer you want.

If you want job A and job B has given you an offer tell job A that you need some time to consider the offer. Give them a deadline (no more than a few days, up to a week) and tell them you will make your decision by then.

Tell job B that you require an answer by a certain time and then wait. You can also let them know that there are other offers on the table but your first choice is them so you are anticipating their offer, should you get one. This is the best etiquette and by far the most professional one.

Most companies know that good prospects will be aggressive in their job search and will be interviewing with multiple companies and may possibly receive various offers. It is okay to let them know the truth.

Definitely don't take a job offer only to quit a few days later. It is bad business practice and you will be burning a bridge that you may need to cross later on. You are also going to be wasting your time as well as those of the company that hired you on. Remember that they hired you in good faith that you actually wanted that job so you are also putting yourself in a position of being dishonest. You don't want to develop a bad reputation in any industry as it could haunt you later on -- plus you don't know who knows who.

Good Luck

Legal Secretary job

How do you find a job as a legal secretary without looking online ?

The best thing would be to write letters to the HR managers in solicitors practices but you will need to be able to show that you can type well. I would follow this up with a phone call a week or so after sending the letter and explain your position. If you are actually studying at the minute then they will probably be more likely than if you were to say "in the future i am going to study...".

Also, try recruitment agencies, but if you have no office experience or typing/admin qualifications then you will have to look at sorting that first.

Starbucks treats job applicants badly

Do you agree?

This is my friend's story, as below:
...I am now employed and working part-time by a large retailer. But when I was job searching; I applied to work for a Starbucks for the holiday season. I was treated like crap by them.

When I applied for the job; I applied in September. When I handed in my application, I was clean, well-dressed, calm, easy-going and presentable. A week after I handed-in my application, I called the place to find-out any info about my application. The manager wasn't available so I spoke to someone else that also did the hiring. She told me that they weren't going to start hiring until November. She then looked at my application after I told her my name She then told garenteed me a job interview. She then said that I would DEFFINETLY be called in for an interview in first week of Nov.

The first week of Nov. came, and I didn't hear anything. So the second week came, and I called them back. I spoke to the manager, and she told me that she hired better people. She gave me an attitude for applying for the job, and got really snobby. She then started cursing at me, and I hung-up on her.

Also; I have experience working with food and drinks and I wrote that down on the application and it was on my resume. I don't know why they garenteed me an interview and then turned me down...it's a job at Starbucks. Not a job at the white house.

Have you ever applied for a job at Starbuck? How were u treated? What's your opinion?

Here is the answer :)
That was really unprofessional that she said she hired better people and cursed. I would call her manager or see if you can find a regional manager and report her.

She should have briefly said we're sorry the positions were filled and left it at that. They don't have to give you an excuse, but I'm sure corporate or regional managers want to know she's ruining their image.

You are better off, if she's like that you're lucky to not work for her. Face it, she's a manager at Starbucks and is stuck in a lame job, she has to act important to make herself feel validated.

Any other opinion?

Best method to search for Event Coordinator jobs

Are you interested in finding a job as an event coordinator/public relations?

So You can check out a temp agency and see if any of them specialize in this field. If so, see if you can procure a full-time job.

One idea is to take a class in Event Management through the Continuing Education branch of a local college. It's not expensive and you will meet students who are already working in the field. Plus the class will be taught by an Event Management professional and maybe some outside speakers will participate. Of course, you will turn in fabulous assignments, contribute to class discussion and volunteer to make a presentation so that you thoroughly dazzle the instructor. Network with with one or two students after each class session and with the instructor when the semester is over. I got a job from a student's firm and freelance work from the instructor.

Job searching can be a tough job in itself, especially if you're not used to it. I was making heavy weather of with my job searching recently until I uncovered the site in the box below site which has some superb tips for job hunters. After following their helpful advice for a couple of weeks I secured myself a superb job.

A security job interview

How can you answer the bull$hit questions you get asked at a security job interview?

Try to do some research of the place beforehand if possible, and anticipate what sorts of questions they might want to ask about. Think about how you'd handle certain security situations that might come up and jot down some notes as you're thinking of things. You don't necessarily need to take your notes with you on the interview, but you should go over them and practice your answers before the big day.

Some common questions you also might be asked are...

What are your strengths? a good response in a security job is that you work well under pressure or in a crisis situation and that you are a good observer. Of course you will want to be truthful in your answers, but it always helps to think about what they WANT to hear. ;)

What are your weaknesses? go with something that can be turned into a positive. say you're a perfectionist. that's a weakness but it's also something employers desire.

What are some things you didn't like at your last job? trick question... Even if u hated ur last job, tell them it was great and that you learned a lot from it. They don't want to hire someone who's willing to bad-mouth their boss.

What can you tell me about yourself? Don't be nervous about this question. To be honest they really don't care but are asking it to establish a rapport. Stick to the simple facts of your life and don't get into detail. You can mention where u live, your family, your education but don't get more personal than that or you'll seem like a flake.

It also doesn't hurt to have a couple of questions prepared to ask the interviewer at the end, because they always say... "So, do you have any questions for me?" You'll look better prepared if you have something to say other than, Uh no I think you about covered it!" They'll be impressed by your interest in their company and more apt to remember you when it's time to make a decision.

Good luck!
