<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.jobfairusa.net/" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" sr="true" src="http://emj.icbdr.com/artieimages/gx/ar5c12l6l1jxr7xhzmgx.gif" /></a> </div>Research conducted for the "2010 Salary Guides" from Robert Half International is painting a surprising picture about the salary landscape in the new year. Starting salaries in the accounting and finance, information technology and administrative fields are expected to remain relatively flat or see modest declines in 2010. But base compensation for certain positions will buck the trend, in some cases even increasing over 2009 levels. Here are 10 positions, segmented by industry, with the best prospects for 2010: Accounting and finance 1. Tax accountant: Companies seek tax accountants who can help their organizations achieve bottom-line savings through effective tax management strategies. Businesses also need their guidance to maintain compliance with tax regulations. Tax accountants with one to three years of experience at large companies, defined as earning more than $250 million in sales, are expected to see an average national starting salary in the range of $46,500 to $61,500. 2. Compliance director: Firms need professionals who can help them comply with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission mandates and prepare for the potential transition to International Financial Reporting Standards. New regulations that are issued as a result of the financial crisis may generate further demand for professionals with the requisite compliance expertise. The starting salary range for a compliance director at a small company, defined as earning up to $25 million in sales, is forecast to be $83,750 to $108,500. 3. Credit manager or supervisor: Companies need professionals who can contribute to the bottom line by reducing inefficiencies and enhancing profitability. As a result, credit and collections specialists who can evaluate credit risk, manage delinquent payments and help improve cash flow are in demand. Base compensation for credit managers or supervisors working in small companies is projected to range between $42,500 and $57,500. 4. Senior financial analyst: Businesses need professionals who are able to evaluate financial plans, forecasts and budgets, and identify ways to improve profitability. A senior financial analyst at a midsize company, defined as earning $25 million to $250 million in sales, is anticipated to earn $57,750 to $74,000 in starting salary in 2010. Information technology 5. Network administrator: Cloud computing, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and Software as a Service (SaaS) have significantly increased the complexity of and requirements placed on networks. Further, network administration remains an in-demand skill, according to chief information officers interviewed by Robert Half. Network administrators can expect to see starting salaries in the range of $54,500 to $80,250 in the coming year. 6. Information systems security manager: Protecting the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information from internal and external breaches is a must-have for companies of all sizes, making security professionals integral to the IT department. The salary range for an information systems security manager is expected to be $96,500 to $130,750. 7. Systems engineer: As companies implement new technologies, technical services roles remain critical to the organization. Systems engineers are in demand to help companies develop and maintain technical infrastructure, hardware and system software components in support of a variety of IT projects. Base compensation for these professionals is projected to range from $64,250 to $93,250. Administrative and office support 8. Medical records clerk: As more hospitals and healthcare organizations transition from paper to electronic medical records, facilities will seek medical records clerks who can help supervise the scanning and processing of patient data. These individuals can expect to earn a starting salary of $23,750 to $31,500 in 2010. 9. Customer service representative: In the current economy, hiring managers consider customer service the function most critical to their organizations' success, according to the 2009 Employment Dynamics and Growth Expectations (EDGE) Report from Robert Half and CareerBuilder. The salary range for a customer service representative is projected to be $22,750 to $30,750. 10. Executive assistant: Companies with leaner teams are looking for employees to take on a wider range of duties. Executive assistants who can wear many hats, support multiple managers and adapt readily to change are in particular demand. These individuals are likely to see starting salaries in the range of $35,000 to $47,000.

Preparing for Your 2010 Job Search - 5 Tips to Get You Ready

12:58 PM Anonymous 0

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://emj.icbdr.com/artieimages/89/ar5c5gl6qr1f5tsq3889.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://emj.icbdr.com/artieimages/89/ar5c5gl6qr1f5tsq3889.gif" vr="true" /></a> </div> The good news: You have a job. The bad news: You'd like to find a new one, and the current state of the economy has undermined your efforts. You don't have to wait out the storm. You can take steps to prepare for your job search. By laying the groundwork now, you'll be well-positioned once the job market recovers, giving you a valuable edge. Following are five tips to get you started: 1. Update your résumé. The most essential element of any job search is an up-to-date résumé. If you haven't touched your résumé in a while, dust it off and make sure it highlights your most recent skills, areas of responsibility and accomplishments. Taking a little time over the course of several weeks to work on this document is better than rushing to complete your résumé all at once, especially if you need to use it in a hurry. Keep in mind that this draft of your résumé will serve as a starting point. You'll want to customize it to each position for which you apply. 2. Keep your profile current. Your professional profile on networking Web sites such as LinkedIn and Facebook serves as an informal résumé for recruiters, who are more frequently using these sites to locate talented candidates. Make sure your profile is complete and current. Also, consider taking advantage of the extra features many of these sites offer. For example, LinkedIn allows you to secure recommendations from members of your network for display on your page. Adding a few to your profile can help you stand out from the crowd. 3. Put your best digital footprint forward. In a competitive job market, a polished professional reputation -- both online and off -- can make or break someone's chances of landing a coveted position. As a result, it's important to get a sense of your digital footprint, or the presence you have on the Web. Building a strong reputation online, or remaking a poor one, can take some time. Start by searching for yourself on several search engines. If you discover unflattering information, such as an embarrassing picture from a college trip to Mexico, remove it or ask the person who posted the information to do the same. You also should adjust your privacy settings on social networking websites to ensure personal details or photos are available only to the people you select. 4. Make new friends. The best time to expand your network of business connections is when you don't need a job. Reaching out to new contacts now allows you to nurture the relationships. Maintain regular communication with your contacts and offer your assistance as necessary. When you launch your own search and you're in need, they'll be eager to return the favor. 5. Prepare your references. You'll need several people with whom you've worked to sing your praises to prospective employers when your search begins. So why not start identifying and reaching out to these contacts now? Although most hiring managers ask to speak to just three to five individuals, you'll want to prep more people than this. Like your résumé, your reference list should be customized for each opportunity. That means you'll want to be able to call on people who can speak to several different aspects of your career -- for example, your work ethic, management skills or ability to work with diverse audiences. Check in with former managers and peers to ask if they would be willing to recommend you if contacted by a hiring manager. If it's been a while since you've connected with a potential reference, arrange to meet for coffee or lunch, or send a note along with an article you think the person would find interesting. Let each person know you'll contact him or her if a prospective employer has requested your references. Although you can't control the economy, you don't have to be a passive observer. By preparing for your entry into the job market now, you'll be ready to take advantage of new opportunities as soon as they arise.

What is a KRA?

10:05 AM Anonymous 0

What is a KRA? A KRA is a “Key Result Area.” Interviewers who use the “Targeted Selection” techniques outlined in <a href="http://jobfairusa.blogspot.com/search?q=staar">BE A STAAR</a> also rely on key result areas to help them formulate their questions of candidates. In an hour interview a good recruiter should be able to ask you 21 questions and get all the answers they need to formulate an informed opinion about you and your skills. KRAs are nothing more than the skills required to perform a job. When I was doing a lot of interviewing it wouldn’t be uncommon to see up to 8 job candidates per day. The only way I could accomplish this objective was to have a focused approach to the interview (Targeted Selection), which meant that the questions I asked each candidate were the same. In one of the positions that I was interviewing candidates for the role called for seven key areas that would be required for the person to perform the job effectively. For example, in these sales positions one of the areas was obviously their sales ability. Since the position required a great deal of autonomy daily and reliability regarding the sales person’s large budget, integrity was an important KRA. Applied intelligence was another KRA. Applied intelligence meant being able to learn a task and actually being able to apply it to the position or task. My goal was to ask 3 questions from each of the seven KRAs with most of the questions focusing on their recent past. Using the <a href="http://jobfairusa.blogspot.com/search?q=staar">STAAR</a> approach it was important that I received specific answers that would demonstrate their past behaviors. I needed to have a “Situation and/or Task,” the “Actions” the person took (or didn’t) and the “Achievements and/or Results” gained from those actions/inactions. By asking each candidate the same questions it was easy for me to build STAARs in able to gage and compare how each person would perform in the position. If I couldn’t build a complete STAAR I deemed the data incomplete and therefore wouldn’t use it. It was to the interviewee’s benefit to be specific. You, as an interviewee, should always strive to build complete STAARs for your interviewer regardless of the type of question you get. ALWAYS try to provide a specific example of a past experience that would relate to the interviewer’s question. As I pointed out my STAAR post, most interviewers are not properly trained in how to ask targeted selection questions and rely on the old, “How would you….” questions or “futuristic questions.” Those don’t benefit anyone, especially the candidate since they are effectively trying to figure out what the person wants to hear, not what they need to hear. Long before you ever show up at the interview you should have done your research into the position. Learn what the KRAs of this position would be. Talk to the recruiter ahead of time if possible. Ask questions about the job. Ask for a job description which will probably give you all the KRAs. Talk to current employees who hold a similar position and get their take on the job functions. Once you’ve fully understood the KRAs you should start to think about potential questions that you may be asked. Again, regardless of whether the recruiter asks you “how did you” or “how would you” your answer should be the same…”Great question, let me give you an example…” You should provide the situation and/or task, the specific actions you took and the achievements/results of those actions. Each answer should be concise, specific and leave the recruiter with a complete and “positive” STAAR. Your answer shouldn’t be more than a couple of minutes long. It is possible to provide a complete STAAR answer, yet be a “negative” STAAR. As an example I once asked this question to several college seniors who had applied for an entry-level sales position. I wanted to get a feel for their integrity. “Have you ever cheated on a test?” The answer that seven of the eight gave was, “No, I never cheat on a test!” “I think it’s wrong.” They went on to babble about how they did it once in third grade, but never in college. Not having a STAAR answer I asked a follow up question, “Have you ever seen anyone cheat while here at college.” “Sure,” they all answered. I then asked, “What did you do about it?” That really threw them! They all said that they’ve seen someone cheating (The Situation), but that they thought it was horrible and they, personally, wouldn’t cheat.” (Inaction). The Result was that the other person got away with it and probably affected the candidate’s grade because the curve was skewed. That is a negative STAAR. Only one person gave a positive STAAR. His answer was: “Yes, when I was a kid I cheated, but never in high school or college.” When asked about seeing someone cheat his answer was: “Yes. I have a class that is very hard and is graded on a curve. I saw these two guys cheating on the first couple of tests and quizzes. I knew that I was borderline A or B because of the difficulty of the material and if they affected the curve it might unfairly give bump me to a B.” I asked what he did about it. He said, “I went to the professor and told him what was going on and about my concern about the curve. I didn’t want to rat on the guys, so I suggested that he bring in teaching assistants for the next tests so they could proctor the exams. He agreed and did bring in three TAs who watched the class like hawks. The two guys, or anyone else, could no longer get away with it and didn’t they didn’t do very well in the class. As a result, I barely got an A, but I got the A.” That was a great answer! He hit all three components, the Situation, the Actions and the Results AND it was a positive STAAR! This candidate was asked twenty-one questions and had twenty-one STAARs that day. He was offered the position. The Lesson? Be Prepared By Bob Kinnison.  Kinnison has more than 25 years of professional interviewing and recruiting experience and is the auther of Interview Experts. He is currently working on his new book, "What Are You Selling?" which provides help on better communication in both your professional and personal lives.

Losing my way

2:51 PM Tukiyooo 0

I'm taking a month off from blogging. I read back through several of my recent posts (and deleted several). I was dismayed that everything was focused on work. My job has been consuming me for the last five weeks. It's all I talk or think about anymore. I considered completely deleting my blog since no one really reads it anymore anyway, and I certainly understand why they don't. It's suppose to be a "weight loss" blog, not a "my job sucks" blog. My goal is to refocus on what's important, and take some time to think. Someone recently commented they thought my priorities were mixed up because I had listed my job as number one, health number two, and my marriage number three. They said my marriage should be number one. Thank you Jack. I've been thinking about this for the past two weeks and I agree my marriage should be number one in my life, or at least near the top. Without my husband I would be lost. Without my health, I'd probably be dead, and without my job...oh well, I can always find another job. :) I found out today my sister completely lost her hearing in one ear. I love my sister to pieces and usually have two-hour phone conversations at least once a month (she lives in Alaska). Until today I hadn't talk to her since I visited in July. She lost her hearing while I was there but we thought it was because she'd been swimming in cold water. After seeing a specialist and having an MRI she was told her hearing is completely gone in her right ear. She knew two months ago. She called once but I was on the road and never called her back. How could I have not know this? How could I ignore my family and my husband and make my job my focus? How could have been such a idiot about life and what's really important? This is my new priority list: 1. God, my faith 2. Marriage 3. Health 4. Friends and family 5. Job Somehow I seem to have been lost lately. Living in a daze of airports, hotels, airplanes, and stress. I want to get my head back on straight. Live the life I want, not the one I feel forced into. The reason for a month off from blogging is I really want to focus on what's important. I won't be reading many blogs for the next month, unless I'm in an airport or hotel with down time. I'll be back December 1 and hopefully in a better place in my life. Diana 169.6 <---not where I want to be...in more ways than one.

Convention 09 Retrospective

11:53 AM Tukiyooo 0

I may be too worn out from convention -- the logistics !!! -- to give a coherent reflection on it, but by the time I'm rested up it will be old news, so here goes: We had a more relational convention this year -- less focus on transacting business; more emphasis on developing relationships among people who did not know each other. We did that through a lot of story telling, worship, and Bible study. We spent less time with the whole gathered assembly listening to individuals give reports (talking at) and more time for small groups with common interests to network with each other (talking with). We also formed new relationships with a place. A lot of folks who had not experienced Camp Galilee before set foot on the land, saw the lake and the mountains, and were of course instantly converted. The reception at Galilee and the Galilee tour connected many of us to this magical place which is both the historic heart of the diocese and the key to our future. How do we assess that kind of convention? All I know is that it looked to me as if people were having lively conversation. It looked as if people spoke from the hearts while others listened caringly. I hope we came away as better friends. On the downside, we invited a lot of non-delegates to attend this year. I regret that we failed to prepare for them properly. We ran out of worship books. Guests were not always welcomed in the way I would have hoped. That is a failure of foresight on my part. I apologize and will try to make convention more welcoming next year. There were three major items on the business agenda: First, we formed a companion diocese relationship with the Diocese of Santiago in the Philippines. This is not a charitable mission. The Diocese of Santiago is indpendent and strong. Our companion diocese bond is a friendship and a partnership so that we can work together, learn from each other, and be in closer communion across the ocean and cultural divides. Second, we funded a program of Ministry Development led by a Canon for Adult Formation. I believe this will strengthen all our parishes, large and small, urban and rural. Finally, we funded a Hispanic Ministries inititiave. The centerpiece of this initiative is to hire a Hispanic Missioner but there is more to it than that. We hope to have several more strong Hispanic worshiping communities by this time next year and that those communities will be the cutting edge of some of our most important social ministries.

The Vatican Invitation To Disaffected Anglicans

11:30 AM Tukiyooo 0

I am just emerging from Diocesan Convention, so this is my first chance to respond to those who have wanted to hear my thoughts on the Vatican Statement inviting disffected Anglican congregations to become Roman Catholics, but the priests can still be married and they can use Anglican liturgies. I really think it's perfectly fine. Some disaffected Anglicans are focused on issues where they will line up better with the RC Church -- particularly those who are opposed to the ordination of women. They will have to come to terms with some of the hot button issues in the RC Church, but if they can do that, their unity with a larger group of Christians will sustain their faith, help them be financially viable, and generally promote the gospel mission. We wish them well. We wish the Roman Catholic Church well. It is a good thing. Other disaffected Anglicans are of a more evangelical persuasion and may not find the RC Church to be a good home. That will be for them to discern and not for us to judge. Meanwhile, we will continue to seek reconciliation and greater unity with all our fellow Christians.

4 New Ways to Job Hunt

So if you're unemployed and competing with a record number of job seekers in today's economy, you can't help but think that flashy and outrageous is the way to get noticed. And maybe it is for some people, but not everyone is willing to stand at a busy intersection wearing a sandwich-board sign that says, "Hire me!" Where does that leave you, a job seeker who needs some way to make your résumé look more attractive than the 50 other ones in the stack? Fear not: The rules of job seeking are in constant flux, and employers are looking for an impressive candidate, even if his or her credentials are unorthodox. The following are some examples of what other job seekers are doing to get an edge over other applicants. 1. Start a blog Doesn't it seem as if everyone and their mother has a blog these days? Except you, that is. Find a subject you're knowledgeable about and start writing. Compose articles that illustrate your command of the topic and that can serve as resources for someone. Over time you'll accumulate an impressive collection of work, says Lauren Milligan of ResuMAYDAY, a company that helps job seekers craft résumés. "It doesn't really matter what type of job you are seeking; there is always an angle that will interest people," Milligan says. "If you are a financial manager, write about how a family's investment strategy should change during a recession, or how to research an investment opportunity to avoid the next Bernie Madoff. If you are an administrative professional, write about time-management strategies or online tools that help you through your day." She stresses that you don't have to be looking for a writing job to get an employer's attention. "Doing this will let potential employers know that you are engaged at an expert level and will gain insights into you as an employee that won't be available to other candidates," Milligan says. "It will also let employers know that you are comfortable with online tools. In other words, this is a great way to gain a competitive edge." 2. Facebook / LinkedIn / BrightFuse Even though social networking isn't the technology fledgling it once was, it's still new on the scene in terms of job seeking. We hear about people who get caught lying on their Facebook profiles, but people are getting hired via networking sites, too. You can use your education and work history fields to create a new form of résumé. Search your friends list for valuable contacts or join professional networks that can help you find a job or at least get the word out that you're looking. "Technology doesn't replace the networking step of the job search, but it can certainly make it easier and faster," says Lynne Sarikas, director of the MBA Career at Northeastern University's College of Business Administration. "Social networking sites can help you identify appropriate contacts for networking." 3. Twitter On Twitter, which is a different kind of networking site, you can leverage contacts in the same way, only you can Tweet about your job hunt and people can stumble upon your profile more easily. Your profile or Tweets can link to your personal site, whether it's an online portfolio or blog. Not only will you make new contacts, but you'll also have a larger audience viewing the hard work you put into your site, which can impress a potential employer. 4. Virtual career fairs If you dislike the idea of taking your suit to the cleaners and finding a sitter for the kids just to head out to a job fair, then stay at home and go online. "[Virtual career fairs are part of] a growing trend among employers looking for a new, cost-effective way to recruit high-quality talent as well as tech-savvy job seekers," says Jennefer Traeger, who works with Unisfair, a virtual job-fair provider. The global aspect of virtual fairs removes geographic obstacles that otherwise complicate job searches.

Hiring Manager Secrets

5:00 AM Anonymous 0

Adapted from "Career Building: Your Total Handbook for Finding a Job and Making It Work" Here's the bottom line: You have to get a job, you have to go to work, and someday, you'll probably have to change jobs. "CAREER BUILDING: Your Total Handbook for Finding a Job and Making It Work" (Collins Business) is a one-stop guide for navigating all those times in your career. If you worry about every possible way you can blow a job interview -- from mispronouncing the boss's name to babbling incessantly when you don't know what else to say -- you're going to walk in there feeling like you're destined to fail. True, job interviews are rife with opportunities for you to embarrass yourself, but hiring managers are more forgiving than you might think. We consulted some hiring experts about what is really going on inside their heads when interviewing job applicants. They offered the following insights: They like you. They really like you. Most hiring managers come to the interview wanting to hire you. They are hoping you are the best person for the job and can start when they need you. After all, you made it to the interview didn't you? Show you are confident, even if you have to fake it. Most hiring managers come to the interview wanting to hire you. They are hoping you are the best person for the job and can start when they need you. Have confidence. If you are frustrated with your job search, don't let that negativity show to the employer. Your pessimism can be a turnoff. Even if it's a temporary attitude brought on by rejection, the hiring manager might think it's your overall attitude. After all, you made it to the interview didn't you? Don't apologize for being out of work. A layoff can happen to anyone. What do you do if it happens to you? Don't be ashamed -- in today's climate, layoffs occur (unfortunately) daily. Many job seekers are in your shoes. Don't apologize. Instead, focus on the job you are interviewing for by showcasing your skills and exhibiting how you are the best fit. Target your job search. While you don't need to possess every single skill listed on a posting, you should at least be qualified for the position and prove that you have transferable skills. Your targeted résumé will help prove you're a serious candidate and have the right qualifications for the position. If you're spending time applying for jobs you're not qualified for, you're wasting valuable time you could be devoting to a position that's a better fit. If you recognize where your strengths lie and what transferable skills you possess, you'll see better results than if you apply to any posting you come across. Get primed. "Tell me what you know about the company" or "Why would you fit in well here?" have become staple interview questions, so don't be caught off guard. Shrugging your shoulders and saying, "I don't know" isn't going to score you points. Look at the company's Web site and read press releases and newspaper articles to see what's going on with your prospective future boss. In addition to prepare for the interview, you'll learn whether the company and its culture are a right fit for you. They don't want to hear what you think they want to hear Interviewers have gotten very smart to picking up if someone's spewing something they've memorized from a book. By only saying what they think the employer wants to hear, job candidates are simply putting on an act, and employers can see right through that. You have to be yourself in an interview and you have to be sincere. They don't expect you to have all the answers Employers are more interested in how you find answers to things you don't know than if you pretend to know something you don't. In some cases, the interviewer may ask a question that he or she doesn't expect you to be able to answer simply to see how you handle it. If you ever find that you don't know the answer to an interviewer's question, the best thing to do is to admit that you don't know, but either add that you could give an educated guess or provide a way you might go about finding the answer. Most important, if you don't know, don't try to fake it. Not knowing is OK. Making something up or pretending to know is not. They want you to want them You need to express genuine interest in the job or the company. As much as the recruiter wants to sell the candidate on the position and company, the recruiter also wants to know that the candidate actually wants to work in that position or for that company. From the editors of CareerBuilder.com, CAREER BUILDING is filled with the statistics, tips and priceless information on job-hunting and working in the digital age, including good and bad résumé samples, using social networking, searching online, résumé "keywords" and e-mail mistakes to avoid. In today's unstable economic climate, CAREER BUILDING is the guide you can't afford to go without.
