Finding a job can be
a lot of work! How
exactly do you find a
job? Click here to
learn how!
To have a feeling of what a top job
website, for instance, looks like, click a
link. First, notice the Alexa toolbar
ranking of this site. If you have a
Google toolbar, check the ranking of
the site.
The rank on Google attempts to show the
importance of a particular web page. Note
however that having a low or no ranking on
Google toolbar doesn’t mean a website
isn’t important. The true importance of a
web page would better be determined by
individual visitors.
Perhaps the easiest way of determining
whether a site is in a top position or not is
by using the Alexa ranking which places a
website according to the amount of traffic
it is receiving. Any site that is ranked from
1 to 200,000 is a top website in its niche.
When a site is ranked for instance
900,001, it only means the traffic is in
the 900,000th position. It doesn’t
indicate the number of visitors. A site
that is ranked 100,000 is far much
better in traffic than the one ranked
500,000.
Again look at this site and study the
toolbars that appear above and below it.
I’m sure you’ve now got an idea of what a
top job website looks like.
Another way of determining whether a website
is on the top position is by checking their value
in Dollars. The value means how much money it
could easily be sold for. You can click here to
check the value of this site. Note however that
toolbars like Alexa and Google etc. provide the
basic information of which a site’s value is
determined.
Finding a graduate job vacancy may at
times be more difficult for new graduates,
as there are several extenuating factors
that will affect the rate of success for
landing a new job. The employment rate in
different fields and sectors of the economy
can have an enormous effect on jobs
prospects.
The regions in which you search will
also have an effect on the prospect of
finding a job, but since you have
already made an important career
choice and worked hard to graduate,
you may now be obligated to find a
job.
Somewhere during the job search, the
realization may begin to set in, and seekers
may often find that the graduate job vacancy
that was expected, may not materialize as easy
as was first expected. If after extensive search
activities, prospects of finding a graduate job
vacancy have not improved, it may be time to
consider some alternatives, or increase the
number of options.
Although it may be a bit more arduous,
it can be beneficial, and it should not
mean that you will give up on career
aspirations entirely, but the more
options you have available, your
chances of success may increase
proportionally.
Re-training in a different field may be
another alternative to finding a graduate
job vacancy. There are several areas,
where training can be completed by self-
learning, and there are now facilities
available where training can be completed
online, at little to no-cost.
Several universities have placed their
curriculum online, with total access
available to the public. All that is
required is the ability and the desire to
learn, and of course, the time.
If you can demonstrate your proficiency to
prospective employers, you can increase
your chances of success in any chosen
field. A classic example is in the high-
demand field of Information Technology
area of computer programming, where
much of the proficiency is developed by
practice.
You can demonstrate your dedication
after gaining some form of
employment by accepting the
challenge of being formally educated.
The world as we know it has changed
drastically over the last few decades. We
are more involved with communications
with other countries, and although there
are dozens of languages spoken globally,
the major language for communication is
still English.
You will now be free to explore other
opportunities where English teachers are
wanted, and you may have the
opportunity to choose from among the
scores of available vacancies. In several of
the countries, the governing bodies have
established programs to encourage
qualified English teachers to immigrate.
Alternatives can also include self-
employment or turn a hobby into a
business, although the option can be
considered, it may not be suitable for
everyone. But scores of people have
made a successful transformation to
entrepreneurship.
