Added for You - How To Get A Job Fast
While referrals are one of the most important sources of new clients for therapists and coaches, how to get them seems to be something of a mystery. Below is a five-step referral strategy that can switch on your referral faucet, or turn a trickle into a steady flow.#1-Focus on Your Ideal Clients Do you want to work with men in career transition? People dealing with health issues? Families in crisis? Females with eating disorders? Newly retired individuals? You may serve a narrow niche of clientele, or a broad swath. For example, your market may be "stay-at-home mothers in their 30s who used to be corporate executives with six-figure incomes," or you may help your clients deal with an assortment of issues, such as: depression, addictions, marital issues, stress and sexual trauma. It doesn't matter for these purposes. What does matter is getting clear: Whom do you serve?#2-Discover Where They Gather Where do the people who could benefit from your services gather? If you're a therapist specializing in grief, for example, think about mortuaries and churches. People dealing with addiction issues might be found at AA or other 12-step meetings, including Al-Anon. If you work with couples in crisis, consider coffee shops, beauty salons, the offices of family lawyers and mom groups.Small business owners might meet at the local Chamber of Commerce or at professional networking gatherings. People concerned with their health and fitness might be found at gyms, day spas or the offices of massage therapists, personal trainers or holistic practitioners. Retired people? Think volunteer organizations, travel agencies, hobby shops, golf courses. Get the picture? When you're clear about where your ideal clients gather, you can take the next step, which is to build a relationship with the professional or person in charge at each of these locations.#3-Cultivate These Locations as Referral Sources How you build these relationships will differ from person to person and location to location. Face-to-face is usually best, especially if y

Whether you are looking for that dream job or are just trying to get a pay raise or promotion, there are 10 things you can do to improve your chances. In general these 10 things fall into 2 categories; the first is building your portfolio and the second is in building your network.While technology is causing rapid change in most industries and for many jobs, it is changing even faster for Information Technology (IT) workers. You may not want to hear this, but as a result of this rapid change, you may need to put in more work and effort than you can squeeze into a 40 hour work week. Are you already putting in long hours? If not, would you be willing to if it could help you find that dream job, get promotions, and pay raises? If you aren’t willing to put in that extra effort and time, you might need to rethink your career path as you won’t be able to keep up with the changing technology.1. Get involved This is a big one. Find out what professional IT organizations are in the area and attend some meetings. If you find some of them particularly valuable, step forward and offer to help.Did you know that most of the best jobs aren’t advertised in the paper or on a job board? If you spend all your time responding to help wanted ads in the paper and on job boards and sitting by the phone waiting for that call; then you will miss out on the truly great jobs.You must get out and network with others. Attending professional meetings is one of the ways to develop a network. Now that you are attending meetings, why not volunteer to help with some aspect of the organization? This keeps you from being just a face in the crowd and gives you even more opportunities to interact with others in the group.However, if you volunteer for something, be sure to follow through or you will leave people with a negative impression. Others will assume that you would fail to follow through this same way in a work environment.2. Be selfless Being selfless ties in with the first item above. If you join a professional group;
While there may be some compensation upon being let go from the firm you work for, this money won't last forever. Or, if eligible for unemployment benefits, this also has a finite period of time attached to the check. Sooner or later, job hunting will be necessary.

Once again, I'm taking a look at the current status of the programming job market. I guess my biggest interest is in seeing which programming languages are the most popular. Originally, I did an article about this 3 months ago (Decisions! Decisions!) as an exercise to see if where I was headed as a programmer was in tune with where the market is headed. When I go back a look at that article, I'm surprised at where I was heading. At that time I felt that C# was the best direction for me to look into. Well, now we're three months later into 2005 and I'm in a totally different direction. I guess it all depends on what the client wants and how good the project pay is. ;) While C# still looks like a very good market to be in, I'm currently involved with Java and FileMaker. Well, it's what the client wants!Anyway, here's the chart for this quarter. Below the chart I'll discuss the interesting changes that have occurred just during the past three months.(EZineArticles currently doesn't support the viewing of tables. But, you can view the table at www.timothytrimble.info under the ART of Software Development blog.)Here's what I find interesting about this chart compared to three months ago:* VB continues to hold a steady market share. This includes .Net and pre-.Net. There was only a .2% drop in job market share this quarter, which is hardly worth mentioning. VB programmers are still in high demand, especially when they have SQL experience.* Contrary to what anyone says, C++ is still going strong and has gained job market share. This quarter has seen a 1.79% increase in the market. My guess is that this is due to the increase of the Linux market since C++ is the number one development environment for that platform.* The biggest winners in job market share gains is Java with 2.33% increase, MS SQL with a 2.57% increase, and the number one winner is Oracle with a 2.88% job market share. Oracle continues to be the leader in job positions with a 27.74% of the market.* The biggest loser for this quarter is Pearl, which lost a

Continuation of Six Figure Success, part one. Steps five through eight.5. Surround yourself with excellence.Find resources that empower you, including coaches and mastermind teams. Peak performers will tell you over and over again that they achieve their biggest successes with the support and encouragement of the people they're surrounding themselves with.Develop and increase your expertise in all aspects of business management including planning, financials, marketing, customer service and sales. People tend to focus on what they do best. Consultants consult. However, at some point, sustaining growth in any business will require shifting resources away from providing 100% services all of the time. You should spend 40% of your time consulting, 10% of your time on business management and 50% of your time marketing, including new product development.Consider hiring another expert to support your core business functions (bookkeeping, marketing, sales, etc.) They, too, are an investment in the future growth and prosperity of your business. Go back to your values. There are only so many hours in the day, but things still need to be accomplished and somebody has to do the work.For me, I needed support in keeping my business organized, which is growing at a healthy pace. I needed someone who could handle the administrative work that was bombarding me – and that I was avoiding. The week I hired my virtual assistant, I tripled my business. Small investment = big return. I also hired a marketing professional. Even though I am an expert marketer, I got what I call the "Vampire Effect'. You look in the mirror and you can't see yourself. Hiring someone to give a new perspective to market my business was the best investment I made.6. Effective marketing will build business, bad marketing will destroy it.Tell people who you are, what value you offer them and where to find you… again and again. Develop a powerful personal brand that differentiates you within your industry. Why should they hire you over a different professional?

How many of you people are bored of your current career? Is the grind of working nine to five with the same people day in day out getting you down? Have you had enough of that long commute to the office and all of those traffic jams? If you have answered yes to any of these three questions it may well be the time to think of an alternative career. This is what I and many other people have done, I have managed to turn one of my hobbies into a career. In this article I will of course explain more.A couple of years ago I was on the way to work when for no apparant reason I became stuck in what I call non moving traffic. I phoned the office where I worked to let them know that I was likely to arrive slightly late. Do not worry commented my boss, you can make up the hours before you leave. This angered me some what, it was not my fault that I was in all of this traffic, it was just a one off. The boss was also aware that I held training for an under eights football team on this particluar night and that it was not really possible for me to work later, unless of course I was to organise somebody else to run the training session.I sat there thinking there must be more to life than this. We are a long time dead, therefore while we are on this planet surely we should be having fun. In the boredom of this traffic queue my mind started to wonder. What career could I have which possibly would make me happy? As a hobby I love to promote the website that I have. I enjoy finding out about the latest web marketing and web promotion ideas by reading the seo forums.My mind was set I am going to offer my services in the UK as a website promotion expert! Two weeks later I made a huge leap, I resigned from my position in the office and went self-employed. I have never looked back since and even though it is hard work, it sure beats being stuck in traffic and working for an unfair boss.
The secret is knowing where to look, what to ask and how to narrow down the type of job you'd not only enjoy, but be pretty good at, too! So much of this is understanding what makes you tick! Who better to identify this than you? This booklet will give you some pointers in doing it, but it will be up to you to take the time to really analyze what it is you like and want to do. Knowing your strengths and weaknesses will give you the power to change your life!
Identifying Your Skills
What are you good at?
Have you ever thought about it? In a truly critical, analytical way? Have you actually sat down and listed your skills and capabilities?
This may seem basic, but it's not. Even if you've attempted to start a list, it is very likely you didn't go far enough or deep enough and thus missed a few outlets for your skills that might very well unlock the key to your career future.
The following exercise can help you truly identify the skills you currently use (or maybe not use) and this will set the stage to see if they're transferable to another industry.
There are three major categories of skill identification. You deal with people, things and information everyday. In each category, this requires a skill or combination of several skills. You might not even realize the extent of your ability in an area. You probably know what you're not good at or what you don't like doing, but pinpointing exact skills is not necessarily easy.
People. Let's divide your skills at dealing with people into working with individuals and working with groups.
Individuals: In working with individuals singly, are you good at:
* communicating in direct conversation or on the phone? * communicating well by the written word? * helping, serving or receiving and carrying out instructions? * referring people, or helping put two people together? * advising, monitoring, coaching or counseling?
