Whether you are an active job seeker or not, the idea of committing to a future working in the unchartered territory is stressful! Saying yes to a job that doesn’t support your career goals may reduce your motivation and add unnecessary stress to your life. But saying no may mean missed opportunities for personal and professional growth!
Here are a few questions to ask yourself before saying “YES!” to a new job.
1. What is your motivation for accepting a new job?
Hate the job you’re in? Jumping at the first job offer you get may lead you to hate that job too. Looking to expand your experience? Make sure that you’ll be getting the experience you want before saying yes! Time for a change? Change is good, go for it!
2. What are your short-term goals in a job?
Do you want to improve your client service skills? Learn more about human resources? Short term goals are just as important as long-term goals. Identify some short term goals to help steer you toward your end goal.
3. What is your career end goal?
It’s okay if you don’t know. Pick a ‘ballpark’ end goal. Do you want to manage people? Be a successful writer? Teach? Be an expert in accounting? Identify what you are working towards and start building the path thereby accepting jobs that will help with your personal and professional development.
4. Will this job add valuable skills and experience to your resume?
Any experience is a good experience. But don’t settle for just any experiences. What skills and experiences can this job offer you that will help you reach your short-term and long-term career goals?
5. What do you value most in a job?
Do you value autonomy? Challenges? Opportunities to work in a team environment? Do some research. Interview your interviewer and find out if your values are the right fit for the job they are offering you.
6. What work-related activities keep you from staring at the clock?
Do project base activities keep you engaged all day? Maybe math related work makes time fly by. Identify what you love to do at work, and identify the things you hate while you’re at it. If you’ve been offered an administrative opportunity, and you hate administrative tasks, pass on the job and find another, more enjoyable way to add those skills to your resume.
Choose wisely and aim for the stars!

The Road to the Million (1 min read)

Every now and then, there have been success stories being discussed on the paper, TV and mainstream. Whereas, more and more people are still struggling their way to work and dot their thing for the rest of the day.
Are still wondering on how there are those people who have made their first million at such a young age whereas you, a hardworker, who have worked far greater than those young kids struggled in keeping your money in your pockets?
Do not wonder. Kids these days have thought of ways on how to get their first million by a variety of ways. They have thought of a side job, cost cutting and saving. Those simple things are easier said than done.
Why would they think of having a side job if they cannot even do their best on one particular job? Well it’s simply they love the other over the other and they are not losing the passion for something they love, something that old fellas failed to get through as years pass by. There are talents being wasted through passage of time like drawing, painting, writing and music that were never given attention off but if only friends and parents would acknowledge the greatness individuals possess on those fields. They would surely excel and become their road to glory.
How would you cut costs of living you ask? Then look around you. When was the last time you went shopping? or treat yourself a great coffee in Starbucks? or took your last vacation? Surely those frugal activities can be minimized and replaced by doing a few things that benefit yourself and the camaraderie around the family like reading, watching DVD’s or even fooling around with the kids whenever you’re free.
And lastly saving. I do believe that ‘Saving is the first way to get things going.’ because if you would not build the habit of saving to be combined with additional income in the form of sideline and cost cutting. Attaining your first million would be a hard mountain to climb. So, do those three things and you would surely get that first million you are eager to have!

1. Facebook Apps
Do you give Facebook followers an easy way to join your newsletter? Facebook has apps for Constant Contact, Mail Chimp, and others to allow your followers to sign up. This makes it easier for you to capture a consumer group, or a list of individuals who may be interested in company news and updates.

5 Quick Ways to get your Business noticed Online (2 min read)
1. Use social media to do more than just sell your product or service.
Social media is the best way to get your business noticed online, but be careful. Don’t use every post and tweet to tout your product or service. Instead, mix in some links to interesting stories that are relevant to your industry and community, as well as personal posts, such as a fun anecdote about your office culture. Don’t overdo it, however. Though frolicking kitten photos rule the Internet, they probably don’t have a place on your business’s social accounts unless you run a pet store.
