Have A Dream To Work On Yachts? Then Don’t Make The Mistakes That Most Newbie’s Make When Finding Jobs…

October 21st, 2009

United Kingdom, 19th Oct 2009 – http://www.workonsuperyachts.com is currently giving away a comprehensive guide book for those who wish to work onboard yachts. There are certain mistakes which most people make especially while considering super yacht jobs as a career option. And while super yacht jobs may seem attractive there are many pros and cons which must be kept in mind.

The website teaches you the ways in which you can become a competent applicant for any yacht job. It shows the readers of this program how to create a better profile so that they have a better chance in the competitive superyacht job market.

The e-book acts like a comprehensive guide that provides a lot of detail regarding the super yacht industry and its job availability. The e-book focuses on the common mistakes most people make while applying for jobs in the yacht industry. The most common problem faced by any job applicant is the appearance with which he/she carries with them. The impression created matters a lot since it is on the basis of the appearance of the candidates that a yacht company might choose to recruit people. Recruitment is on the basis of the complete profile of the applicant, which might include any small or big detail.

One can never stop learning and this is one principle on the basis of which many people are working. The yacht industry has many openings but only the most proper and presentable characters would get the jobs. Getting a yacht job becomes difficult if your profile is marked negative. An applicant having a negative profile would face many problems in getting a proper job, since the profile maintained by the super yacht recruitment agencies is very important.

This guide is available for FREE and it promises to bring a lot to the users of this e-book. Hurry up and get this extensive guidebook today at http://www.workonsuperyachts.com

It’s not too late to consider an apprenticeship

August 25th, 2009

Armed with their GCSE results, many young people will be reconsidering their options for the forthcoming year.  David Bassett, managing director of DCET Training, specialists in electrical installation apprenticeships based in Exeter, explains it’s still not too late to consider an apprenticeship.

With training providers and colleges offering over 180 different apprenticeships to choose from and with many employers currently reviewing their short term and long term recruitment plans it certainly isn’t too late to seek an employer offering an apprenticeship.

Taking up an apprenticeship is a way of combining both academic study and practical experience to achieve a nationally recognised qualification whilst earning a wage. Young people are able to train and learn at their own pace usually via day release from employment to attend a college or a specialist training provider such as us. The length of an apprenticeship varies according to the qualification, with an average 42 months for an electrotechnical advanced apprenticeship.

Apprentices earn a wage from their employer and the training fees are paid by The Learning & Skills Council. So, unlike attending University an apprenticeship can be a financial viable alternative to train for a career.

No doubt many are concerned that with the current economic climate getting a job in any industry, let alone the construction industry, will either be very difficult or risky. It’s definitely harder, but most employers appreciate that developing skills in employees is still really important to ensure that when the recovery comes they have the skill base to be able to fulfil new contracts. Apprenticeships are also attracting more financial support. Last March, Gordon Brown announced an extra £140m of funding and there is a growing wave of support for the government to introduce financial support to assist employers taking on apprentices. So, now isn’t the time to be put off seeking an apprenticeship it might just take a little perseverance to find an employer.

With GCSE results in hand it is a good opportunity to assess your best subjects and what really interests you. In the electrotechnical sector we look for GCSE Grades A to C in Maths, English and Science. We also look for good practical and problem solving skills, not forgetting a head for heights and being prepared to work in all weathers! But each industry has different requirements, so it’s likely you can find an apprenticeship that suits your best qualities and attributes.

Taking an apprenticeship is a big decision both for a young person and their parents.  It’s really important for the young person to be certain which vocational path they want to follow and why! At the beginning, all apprentices need encouragement, reassurance and advice on entering the world of employment. Our tutors and training officers have extensive industrial experience and training knowledge to provide support for students and instil confidence and a belief in the individual. At DCET Training we offer young people and their parents the opportunity to visit us to understand what the training entails and what the industry is all about.

Once a decision has been made it’s time to do your research to identify suitable local employers. I suggest you start by talking with the Connexions service and also approach employers on your own. First write to them with a copy of your CV and tell them why you want an apprenticeship and why you want to do it with them. Don’t be afraid to follow them up with a call to check that they’ve received it and introduce yourself. If a position is available you may be called for aptitude or selection tests and an interview.

Undertaking an apprenticeship is a team approach between, the employer, the training provider, the apprentice and their family.  Once finished, our young people leave with a nationally recognised qualification and many career opportunities to follow within the electrical contracting industry. Over the 42 months we witness learners fulfilling their full potential and developing into skilled and confident young adults.

For information on a career in the Electrotechnical Industry contact DCET Training on 01392 829100 or visit www.dcet.co.uk.

Considering a Career in Court Reporting?

February 14th, 2009

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
For more information, contact:

Careertoolkits.com/court-reporter

Denver, Colorado, February 9, 2009 — The verdict is in: the Court Reporting Career Zone at CareerToolkits.com provides individuals with the best information they can find about pursuing an important and rewarding career as a court reporter.

Visitors to Careertoolkits.com/court-reporter will find not only the advice that they need to determine if a career as a court reporter is right for them, but also an extensive listing of court reporting schools offering accelerated curriculums to help them succeed in court reporting quickly.

Site spokesperson Jennifer Charleston said the Court Reporting Career Zone not only offers information about the lucrative salaries enjoyed by court reporters, who’s average annual salary is $45,000, with some as high as $60,000, but also discusses why court reporting is such an important career.

“Entering a career as a court reporter enables an individual to have a prestigious career in law without the many years of education and training required by other legal professions,” Charleston said. “Court reporters record legal proceedings, preserving all the spoken words and sometimes actions in a written transcript.”

Charleston said the career is exciting because court reporters are part of the court system by creating the transcriptions that are used by jurors, attorneys, and other legal personnel as an official record of what happened during a court proceeding.

Even those who subsequently decide they may not be right for a career in court reporting are still in luck. That’s because, in addition to providing listings of schools offering classes in court reporting and all-encompassing information about the profession, the site also includes links to sister sites with information on dozens of other careers.

Careertoolkits.com not only provides information about court reporting, the site also features free information about professions that include art, business, education, engineering, medical, hospitality, legal, sales and science. With so many people forced to consider different professions because of this tough economy, Careertoolkits shows it can provide quality and relevant information for job-seekers, all at a price they can afford, for free.

United States faces a perfect storm “the disconnect between education and the workplace”

June 17th, 2008

Employers are discovering increasing numbers of high school graduates who cannot do “applied” math, perform basic measurements and fill out job applications. In other words, “they are graduates who are not employable.” Fifty percent of high school graduates who go on to college must take remedial English or Math to graduate from college.

A new eBook, “Plan Your Career Now!” clearly addresses the problem facing employers and employees in the search for talent for present and future jobs. “Plan Your Career Now!” not only provides insight into the problems, it also presents many solutions to help the future workforce become “employable.”

A report, issued by America’s Promise Alliance, in 2008, found that seventeen of the nation’s 50 largest cities had high school graduation rates lower than 50 percent. Nationally, about1.2 million students drop out annually with only 70 percent of U.S. students graduating on time with a regular diploma.

For the young people who drop out of high school, college is an unlikely option. The vast majority of these individuals will also be stuck in minimum wage jobs most if not all of their lives. But even more disturbing is the current lack of preparedness of the nation’s high school graduates.

Well over half of new workforce entrants with only a high school diploma are deficiently prepared in all ten of the skills that employers rate critical. These include both basic skills such as writing, mathematics, and reading, as well as applied skills such as critical thinking, work ethic, and teamwork.

On the job, many college graduates are having difficulty writing clear concise reports. Although computer skills are generally good with the young generation of new workers, many rely on spell-check, not realizing the difference between words such as “there” and “their.” Even text messaging spelling is cropping up in both high school and college papers.

According to one study 60 percent of employers question whether a diploma means students have learned applied academic basics.” Many employers put relatively low priority on candidates’ years of schooling and grade-point average. Employers are more concerned about the applicants’ attitude and work ethic and their ability to work in an ever changing, knowledge based work environment.

Quoting Tom Vander Ark, director of education for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, “Today we have reached a crisis; we are virtually at a tipping point! Our culture and our education system are only producing a small percentage of individuals who are taking a “challenging curriculum” so they are truly prepared for the rigors of college or a knowledge-based workplace.”

At a time when we need to be preparing individuals for a “knowledge-based workplace” the average school year is 180 days or less, and little more than five hours a day of actual teacher – student classroom subject time is the norm. Compare this to the six day school week in most Asian countries. Add to this the high school drop out rate, failing test scores in core subjects, lack of “real world” career counseling and the millions of retiring baby boomers; it quickly becomes apparent the number of “employable” workers is shrinking. “We are truly becoming a Nation at Risk.”

Preparation of our young people to compete in the workplace should be major headlines, and a continual discussion point by the media, but it is treated at best, casually. In fact our failure to educate and lack of student and parent/guardian involvement should be the subject of ongoing debate by all segments of our society, seeking resolution, because it is directly tied to the future of virtually every American community.

Officials, educators and the American public need to become acutely aware of the gravity of the problem, and become involved in greatly improving policies to enhance the preparation of our present and future workforce. The future of the American workforce depends on action by all citizens.
