JobAsia August 08, 1997 The economies of South-East Asia appear to have been faltering slightly of late. Still, this geographical area remains dynamic and attractive in job terms. So how do you get into this growing job market? Hong Kong-based JobAsia may be the answer. The site is a little loaded with gew-gaws for our taste, but nonetheless appears to be a comprehensive resource. Once you have registered, JobAsia's engine allows you to search their database by:
or almost any combination of the above. The site also features "QuickResume" and "QuickApply", which allow you to apply for jobs on-line confidentially.
Networks August 07, 1997 Job prospects in Information Technology continue to just get better and better. And, within the field, there are a number of areas. According to a recent report from RHI Consulting, the "Hot Jobs Report", networking is the hottest speciality, with network, LAN and systems administration being emphasized. (RHI Consulting is a specialized staffing service placing information technology professionals on a short- and long-term basis.) The Hot Jobs Report tracks job growth in information technology through a survey of 1,400 CIOs nationwide. The study was developed by RHI Consulting and conducted by an independent research firm, which polled CIOs from a stratified random sample of U.S. companies with 100 or more employees. 32 percent of CIOs cited networking as the area experiencing the most growth within their IT departments. Internet/intranet development was also strong - 18 percent of all technology executives surveyed said it was the fastest area of expansion. Within the networking category, the job titles mentioned most by CIOs as being in strong demand were network administrators, network managers and specialists.
Transition Assistance Online August 06, 1997 The end of the Cold War gave rise to the so-called "Peace Dividend". But for the hundreds of thousands of servicemen and women who are, in effect, losing their jobs as a result of force reductions, the "dividend" may well have a bitter taste. In fact, according to Transition Assistance Online, over a quarter of a million people will make the transition from military to civilian life over the next year. Most of these people have only worked for the military. They have had little or no experience working in the civilian sector. Sound familiar? TAOnline's site (TAO) is available for former and current service-members to submit their resumes using the unique TAS software, via email or snail mail. Employers are able to search the TA0 resume bank and post employment and banner ads. TAO's employment opportunities cover a wide spectrum of professions with such well-known companies as McDonnell Douglas, Hughes, Keane Federal, Comsat, Logicon and Amoco. In addition, TA0 provides information on starting one's own business, franchising, and other career alternatives. As part of its development, the site plans to offer information on veteran's benefits and reserve matters, and an electronic store will offer products and services of particular interest to former service-members. The site is also launching a new Transition Seminars Program (TSP), which will provide "hands-on" training in job search tactics, resume preparation, interviewing skills, and networking. An added attraction will be the presence of major business recruiters looking to hire those with military experience.

A job search is a marketing campaign, plain and simple. To do it effectively, you need to know what you're looking for and what you have to offer. It also helps to understand the labor market and plan your job search. Begin by assessing yourself. Look at your goals and at what you value in a job. Is it security, teamwork, environment, or what? Then figure out what it is that you can do. Recognize and define your skills. ACM offers helpful questions to focus on your strengths. Once you understand what you need and what you're good at, target and organize your job search. Read local and national want ads to see what's available. Develop a contact network--people who might know whether openings exist. You can also contact employers directly. Figure out what jobs exist. The Occupational Outlook Handbook is a good source. Also learn about your prospective employers. Try a search engine like Dogpile and do a search on the company. Or, look in a local business journal or library. Career Fairs are great places to gather information about employment trends, necessary skills and training Each letter, however, must be individually tailored to the needs of the prospective employer and individually produced. Targeted cover letters (with strong emphasis on skills and experience as they relate to a specific job in a targeted organization) are more effective than generic "all-purpose" cover letters.
