What is your job shadowing experience?
I like the idea, but it doesn’t really work. If you’re taking over someone’s job, you will fulfill that in your own way. Shadowing someone is either a replacement for (safety) training or finding out what should be done. But when you’re shadowing someone you can bet that you’re taking mental notes of things you’d do differently (only to ultimately go back to doing the same thing).
How do I get a job/internship as a social media analyst?
As for companies outside of the U.S., i'm not sure. I bet with a little help from Google you can find them. With respect to getting a job/internship, you want to stand out from the crowd. That doesn't necessarily mean you need to be more knowledgeable. I think creativity is key here.Create something unique that showcases where your coming from and what you'd like to be doing for xyz company. Research the company. Follow them on LinkedIn and Twitter. Engage and reach out as appropriate.A cool infographic, analysis of company improvements / suggestions, or maybe a custom Sitedrop website.
How do I get a job at a newspaper? Is it mandatory to have completed journalism?
Most editors won't care that your degree isn't in journalism -- an engineering degree might even be an advantage since it shows you know things that most reporters don't know.The tricky part is getting hired without experience. Try to get experience as a freelance writer. Many newspapers need help covering high school sports and local government. If one editor turns you down, keep looking. The smaller the paper, the more likely the editor will be willing to consider someone without experience.Once you have that experience, try applying for a staff job. Small papers in remote areas are your best bet. I started my career at a particularly tough time and had to go to a tiny paper in rural Nevada, a town so remote that you had to drive 200 miles to get to the nearest larger town.Good luck!
I'm supposed to kiss my friend's bare butt because of a lost bet?
Maquis47 has this one perfect. I say you DO have to go through with the bet, but NO PICTURES!!! Absolutely, positively not! Long ago, having a picture of someone doing something lewd meant only the person who owned the picture could see it or pass it around to others to see it. Once that picture was destroyed or otherwise ruined, it was gone forever. If it were embarrassing enough, you could even PAY the person to give you the picture, and you would never have to worry about it ever again. NOT ANYMORE!!! As Maquis47 suggested, once you allow a picture of this, it will NEVER, EVER go away! This will be on the internet forever. There are bets that you pay up, and there are bets that can ruin your life. This is one of those that can ruin your life. Take your lumps and back out of the "pictures" part of the bet. Tell him you'll allow friends to watch and that you'll pay up the important part of the bet, but if you find out that ANYONE brings a camera with them, the bet is over. This includes cell phones! If you see anyone take out a cell phone, the bet is over. I promise you that someone WILL try to get a picture of this. Be VERY careful! ***Oh - and what have we learned??? You bet, you lose! Learn your lesson.
Am i personally liable for my ltd companies debt if i strike it off? PLEASE HELP!!?
looks like you are gonna need a lawyer and an accountant cos you could be in deep sh//t (virgin media could be the least of your problems) (1) "you" cannot write any "debt" off- you can only set company expenses against company profits 2) "it would come off my tax rather than my own money" no it dont- it comes of the tax on the profits the company makes You can set company expenses against that profit to lower the taxes the "company" pays (those expenses include money the company pays to you for the work you did FOR the company) 3) looks like the company aint being making any profit - so there is nothing to set those expenses against (my betting is- you have taken all the money paid to the company (for the work you did) as YOUR income , while ignoring expenses the company should have paid (such as virgin media)) Your problem is - if you operate a company that continues to accumulates debt that it has no way of paying THATS fraud (by you as company director) (it cant pay them cos you have been taking all company income as your "pay") 4) If you took money from the company as pay then you should have paid NI contributions and paid tax on it as an employee ,and declared this payment in the company books Only other way you could get the money is direct from the company AFTER the company had paid its debts (ie - the "distributions of profits of the company") THEN filled out a self assessment form declaring this as income (from company dividend) . AND paid NI as a company director My betting is- you aint done either of these. Only way you gonna find out how deep the ****, is to do what "girlie electrics" says , but my betting is - its gonna take the rest of this year to sort it out (you should have subscribed to "quickbooks" - For a small monthly fee they would have done ALL your bookkeeping, taxes etc for you As self employed it would have only cost you at most £6/month)
Is anyone recruiting or sourcing from Pinterest?
While I haven’t heard any stories or had any personal experiences with recruiting from Pinterest, I’m sure someone is! I am willing to bet that it depends on the field in which you are recruiting whether or not Pinterest will work for your sourcing efforts. For example, a tech company may not have much luck. A flower arrangement service, on the other hand, might be able to find relevant blog owners or contributors to reach out to by doing a simple search for content.Additionally, you could place an ad on Pinterest with your job opening! With social media sourcing, it’s important to craft your ad in accordance with the platform’s “rules”. These rules may be unspoken or spoken, but generally go along with how the majority of users are interacting with the platform. For instance, Instagram is very photo-centered. Facebook is all about the comments section. Pinterest users love a good infographic! Check out this job ad example:It’s eye-catching, informative, easy to read, and stays in line with what Pinterest users are used to seeing and consuming on the site! Read more about social recruiting here.All of that said, if you’re going to try new sources, you should track their performance! An ATS like Recruitee can help you do so automatically:Every company has different hiring needs. Therefore, the best sources for candidates will vary.
Paramedic roles in the Coast Guard?
I'm currently a 22yr old EMT going through Paramedic school and have plans of perusing a career in fire. My question is this - Are there any specials paramedic roles the Cost Guard has to offer? I'd love the experience I'd gain from the CG, but I'd like to be able to use my medic education during it. I know my best bet would be to talk with a recruiter, but I was wondering if anyone had any first-hand info in regards to this. Thanks a lot!
The company you just interviewed with, do you think they are looking at your social media accounts to help make their decision to hire you?
Yup. You bet they are. And some of them are paying an outside company to do a “deep dive” into your entire social media history. The more public the position, the deeper they’ll probe your accounts, going back years into your past.OK, there are some employers, and some positions, where they aren’t going to bother to do that. If you’re looking at a job driving a forklift in a warehouse, no one is going to care what you tweeted two years ago. If a problem arises at work, they’ll just fire you and hire a new forklift driver.On the other hand, if you’re going into a higher profile position, they’re going to care. They’ll dig up that silly, slightly derogatory joke that you posted, or the angry, threatening tweets you sent the girl who dumped you when you were 19. Nothing is off limits. And if you’re really a high profile person, the media will dig up everything. Look at Heisman Trophy winner Kyle Murray’s recent experience.Your best bet? Stay off of social media altogether. If you just have to do it, scrub your posts of anything that could be even slightly offensive, then lock down your accounts to that only a few people can see what you’ve written. Then don’t post anything any more toxic than some cat videos.
