How and Why To Get A Job in Australia

Paradise for vacationing... and for skilled job seekers? This a guest post by Rob Kiernan. If you’d also like to guest post here on JobMob, follow these guest post guidelines. Australia is known as the lucky country, a phrase first coined by Professor Donald Horne back in the 60’s, although he did it with a sense of sarcasm at the time. But today Australia really is regarded as a pretty lucky place to be. Moving forward about 35 years, Ben Southall won a competition and landed "the best job in the world" and was sent to the Islands of the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland, Australia. Paradise, yes. But it didn't stop him getting stung by an Irukandji. Ouch! There is much talk about Australia being a land full of venomous creatures, but it is also a country of great opportunity, because...

How To Define Your Ideal Job and Why You Should

Why your passions are more important than what you studied in college. This is a guest post by Melvin Dichoso. If you’d also like to guest post here on JobMob, follow these guest post guidelines. I know the word "ideal" varies from person to person but here in this article by saying "ideal job", what I mean is a job that you want and you think you can enjoy. In this guest writeup, I'm going to cover up why you need to define your ideal job first and foremost and how it's going to make your job hunting much easier. A little background about me first. I'm just 20 years old with a degree in Computer Science. I'm running my own small online business which has something to do with community-oriented websites and blogs yet still I prefer to have a day job, working as online marketing staff in one of the companies here in the Philippines. Now you know me :) How do I define it?

Goodbye Gatekeepers: Use Social Media To Target Hiring Managers

Use social media to directly reach the people who will want to hire you most. This is a guest post by Peggy McKee. If you’d also like to guest post here on JobMob, follow these guest post guidelines. Today’s job search is unlike any you’ve ever seen before. In addition to the recession-fueled glut of workers, the explosion of web-based job searches and online social networking has turned the process into something entirely new. That has resulted in candidates who previously, would have flooded the market with resumes, gotten several responses, a few interviews, and a couple of job offers, but now face online job applications that thousands of others have seen, too. It’s all too easy to get lost in the shuffle, and never even get a “Dear John” letter. Instead of lamenting the cyberspace crush of candidates, you can use the same tools that work against you and turn them into aids in your job search strategy.

An Impractical Exercise: The Job Search Alphabet

A dose of job search self-help and inspiration. This is a guest post by Kate Baggott. If you’d also like to guest post here on JobMob, follow these guest post guidelines. I’m a freelance writer, I teach on a freelance basis and I consult as a freelancer. There are times when I have too much work and times when I have almost none. The insecurity of it all is worst when life’s disasters strike. I’ve recently been ill and unable to work consistently for almost three months. I hope it won’t be a financial disaster in the long term. The Practical Exercises While I was in the hospital, I was in a hurry to get home. Unfortunately, after days of improvement, the infection values in my blood work suddenly worsened. It looked like I would have to stay in hospital for several more days. I was worried, but I did a few practical things...
