Social Networking to Find Work or New Business

Best Future Careers — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 13:32:24 +0000

Social networking has been the next big thing in our economy and some are finding ways to get ahead doing it. I think we all would agree that using the various networks (Facebook, MySpace, Twitter) are fun but how many people are actually being pro-active in marketing themselves for new positions, promotions, or business ventures? Today a Guest Post from Barry Livingstone, author of The Social Networking Business Plan with Onefineham. Economic Times Are Tough, But the Tough Are Still Going This has been one of the longest sustained downturns in the modern era and sadly it seems every switch we seem to throw blows up in our face. What then for the “fellowship of the willing” (to borrow a sad phrase from the failed aspirations of the prior administration) to do in order to stay economically afloat? Savvy people are using their one unassailable asset, THEIR BRAINS, to figure out their own true value to others, and then marketing themselves using social networks. The unlocking the key to discovering your own true value and earning potential is the first step toward pulling yourself out of the current economic quagmire and start building a new income stream (or streams) for [...]

Best Future Careers — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 23:21:00 +0000

One occupation that is increasing in both prominence and influence is that of the administrative assistant or executive assistant. While this role was once thought of as primarily of secretarial nature, administrative assistants today are multi-skilled business professionals who perform a catch all function for their manager, boss, or executive. The types, varieties and frequencies of duties varies from position to position but you can be certain that several skills will be called upon on any given day. Some of the Typical Duties an Administrative Assistant Might Include: Office management with limited budget or petty cash responsibilities Gatekeeper for the manager Scheduling meetings Meeting materials preparation Staff manager (rarely) Dictation Limited analysis (expanding role) Travel coordination Office organizer / Supplies / Flow coordinator Act as additional set of eyes and ears for the manager It’s Not A Secretary’s Job Anymore As a result of this diverse and demanding variety of tasks, it is understandable that the qualifications to become an executive assistant or administrative assistant have grown over the years as well.

Career Accountant | Steps to Become a CPA

Best Future Careers — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 14:18:42 +0000

To be a career accountant does not always mean become a CPA, but I can tell you from experience it is better if you do. It takes quite a lot of sacrifice for someone to become a CPA, but any career accountant will tell you that it was worth the sacrifice. Steps to Become a CPA Step 1: Undergraduate Degree The first step to become a CPA is to get an undergraduate degree either in accounting or finance – or a business degree with a heavy emphasis on accounting. Some states are mandating significant additional coursework/credit hours in future years so NOW is definitely the time to be getting into the field before the education (very expensive education) requirements get tightened/go into effect. Step 2: Professional Experience (a.k.a get a public accounting job) State laws vary, however most states require a substantial amount of professional work hours in accounting – with some restrictions on the type of work performed. Your firm (once you are hired) will know the specifics of the requirements for your state and (if they’re any good) will help guide you through the process to get the right hours as you prepare for the next step. Figure [...]

A Career in Nursing Offers A Variety of Options | Best Future Careers

Best Future Careers — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 11:47:20 +0000

A career in nursing represents several of the best future careers in the United States in the coming years. The growing number of seniors and elderly patients will continue to be a challenge for health care providers for the foreseeable future. I typically recommend nursing as a career to virtually anyone I meet with even the slightest interest in first aid these days because I know the demand is high. You can put money on the table for your family anywhere in the world if you have nursing skills. Unlike many other areas of study, there is a easily identifiable relationship between level of nursing education and annual wages earned (see the top future jobs). State rules vary, but here’s the general breakdown of the possibilities of a career in nursing employment today. Each layer represents another level of required education with a corresponding increase in average wages. You’ll get the idea. Continuing Education a Common Thread of All Health Care Related Fields One common thread will all these fields is the need for continuing education. The medical field is one of the fastest evolving careers and as a result skills and knowledge gained previously becomes obsolete. State boards typically have specific continuing education [...]

The economy is turning, so why not find a job now that can make the downturn a distant memory? It may be hard to be motivated right now given that unemployment benefits might be running out, or that much of what you previously worked for (home, savings, car, family) may be in a bad state of disrepair.
