Many people would love to get a better job. And most of these same people have the proper training and skills to achieve this goal. Unfortunately, so many job hunters have very poor communication skills. They are unable to clearly tell potential employers about their job qualifications. In short, they do not have good job seeking skills.

There is a plethora of ways to make money on the internet, and the most recent to emerge is type at home. Believe it or not, you can get paid to type a few sentences here and there for companies. And we are not talking about a few bucks. There are people making a large amount of residual income from this. Is it too good to be true?

Data entry workers are expanding at an incredible rate across the nation, and for obvious reasons. It is extremely easy labor and the pay can actually be fairly decent if you put in the time and effort. However, because of the type of work that is done, data entry jobs are simply not for everyone.

What we name something matters.

It sets a tone that alters our attitude.

Give something a new name and the difference may seem insignificant or even trivial.

However, if it changes our attitude, it can amount to a very big change.

Recently, I heard the term “survival job.”

I understood this to mean a job that is often part-time and unrelated to one’s primary career focus. One takes such a job because one’s previous position has been eliminated, out-sourced, down-sized, off-shored, or otherwise zapped.

Money motives in American culture appear to be what drives a job seeker to accept a job. Why work if it is not for money?

The intangibles count more than money! What are these intangibles? Pleasant co-workers, interesting tasks to do, fair management, health benefits, retirement plans, etc. Money seems almost an extra perk that goes with the other things that can't really be measured.

- Résumé Lies and Half Truths -

According to the résumés that are distributed to large corporations and small businesses, only good guys look for jobs. This seems to be especially true in the Information Technology field. You will never see a résumé that shows that a project was cancelled, or that the programmer was removed from a project due to his inability to meet the needs of the company or a client. Instead, the résumé's all show that only the best of the best are looking for work.
