Question by Lovely As The Sun: What is your advice about career schools in Arizona?
I'm thinking of starting one of those 10 month career colleges soon to hold me up while I persue my chosen career. What are the pros and cons, what advice can someone give me, I've heard they're aren't accredible, what can I make of these college programs? This is more research for me by the way. Please only reply if you have a real answer thank you!

If you are 16 to 24 years old, look into JobCorps (website: www.jobcorps.org).

It is a free government program run by the US Dept of Labor. There's two in AZ, but they will send you to any of their locations that has the job training you want to study. They will even give you housing, food, healthcare, transportation, cash, job placement, etc.

You do not even need to be a high school graduate - they'll help you there too. And based on the fact that it's a government program, I'm sure their courses are accredited. Again, it's all free. But you have to get in before your 25th birthday.

Good luck.

The Benefits of an Employment Agency

Article by Ashley Toh

One of the things you need to understand about the job market is that there is plenty of competition and the numbers do not hit you until you realise that there are millions of people looking for jobs on a daily basis. Millions of people all over the world. You have to think global, not local; because the job market now spans a borderless arena.

When thinking about your next job, or if you have been looking for a job for a while now, you must re-look at your strategy and perhaps include the use of an employment agency to help you out with your job search. There are many benefits of an employment agency that will assist you to not only secure a job, but secure one that is beneficial for your own career path. Now this works both ways, from the perspective of someone looking to find a job and form the perspective of a business looking for talent in the job market.

For the job seeker, the employment agency will have the business contacts necessary to push your resume and your details to many more businesses, who will be able to assess and perhaps consider your resume as one that has a potential place in their company. The bottom line about having an employment agency is that you get much more exposure than you would if you were to be looking in a newspaper or even an online job search.

The exposure would be almost ten times of what you would be normally getting because business still trust the services of an employment agency to get the results that they need. For one thing, they will get much more focused results, instead of being swamped with resumes of persons who are not even qualified for some of these jobs. Having a targeted and focused function that the employment agency gives would be then a boon to businesses who want the quickest results in the best time.

This would also mean that your resume would be sent to the companies that would not only be interested in you but of course the types of career matches that would further enhance your career path. Because of the global reach of even local based employment agencies, your horizon would also be increased to great levels.

For businesses, the employment agency is also a great place to find temporary workers for short term contracts as well, as they would have a pool of resources of these people on the call list. These are some of the benefits of an employment agency that you need to know about. If you are searching for a job or an employee, the connections and the resources of an employment agency can only assist you in your search to find something or someone that complements you in every way. There are many quality local and international employment agencies for you to choose from, and a quick search online is all you need to get started.

About 18000 people are receiving unemployment in Spokane County. Many of those people are turning to employment agencies for help but they said there's not a lot work to go around right now.

Question by nibycuba: Career Advice: BA in Spanish wanting to go into teaching?
Hello, I am getting my BA in Spanish Literature this year, and I am planning doing my Master in Teaching (Spanish) next year. Since I will not have a license I have to complete the Masters before I can start teaching. I've gotten different advice, is it good to complete a masters without previous working experience? Is it going to be harder for a school to hire me since I will have a masters? Any advice?

Best answer:

Answer by tim P
sometimes yes it is harder since the amount of teaching experience is small. The school will have to pay you for your masters but you will have no experience. See what classes would be required to get a BS in education w/ emphasis in spanish for 6-12th grade.

Finding a suitable employment agency

Article by fORTUNATO

Working with employment agencies is meant to save you time but if you want to sign up with an employment agency, it is important to avoid signing up with the wrong one and at the same time ending up with the wrong type of employee.

Many employment agencies specialize in a certain industry or specialize in specific types of hiring. Before you consider working with employment agencies, it is very important to understand who is who and who does what in the world of employment recruiting.

Search Firm/Executive Search Firm

These firms are typically working on exclusive search assignments and usually paid by their company clients either by retainer or on a per assignment basis. They work primarily at the line management level and above.

Contingency Employment Agency- They are paid a fee if they successfully place you in a job. These firms work in fields all the way from clerical to technical to line management and sometimes above. Fees are paid by the employer, but only when a referred candidate is hired.

Employment Consultants - Fee-Based Applicant-Paid. Most of the services they offer in career planning are available for free or very little cost. They are getting paid when they successfully place you in a job. They use community groups and external agencies to find suitable employment for jobseekers or clients.

Temporary (Temp) Employment AgenciesTemp agencies seek to place permanent employees where their position starts out as a temporary job, but, could become permanent if the employer decides to hire the candidate. Many temporary agencies specialize in a particular profession or field of business. Temporary agencies can provide qualified workers to fill in temp jobs. One of the popular temp agencies in Australia is Adecco.com.au.

Recruiters

Recruiters are industry experts who specialize in delivering professionals with the right skills to corporate clients. A headhunter /recruiter might be an independent contractor, internally working for one organization or working for multiple clients in a third-party broker. These are the persons you might actually work with during your job search.

Question by Sarah J: Does anyone have good career advice?
I am really confused about what I want to do with the rest of my life. I like to help people and I am really good at giving people advice. So after I started thinking about it I thought I wanted to be an addiction counselor. Would this be a good career choice? If not this then are there any other careers where I could help people. I really want to have a career that I love

Also I am good at math and science so on the other side I could go into a career in the health field or computors that would probably make more money.

Best answer:

Answer by KabbaSurabie
If you're good at math and science AND you like to help people, you should look into a career in psychology, counseling or social work. All of those mean you have the opportunity to work with people who need your help.

Esp. with psychology, it's beneficial to be good at math/science, so that'll be helpful when you're in college. How old are you? If you're in high school or just starting college, my best advice would be to keep an open mind about careers, as it's very common to change your mind.

I'm not saying you'll want to do something else other than help people, but you don't necessarily have to pinpoint a specific career/job title right now. Once you're in school and start taking classes, you'll get an even better idea of what you like/dislike, so that'll help you narrow things down.

If you're in high school, go talk to a guidance counselor--they can help you think about career choices (and, hey, since you're thinking about counseling, you might even be able to quiz them about their career choices/educational backgrounds).

Same advice goes if you're in college or thinking about college. Talk to a professor, advisor or even someone in the career center if your school has one.

Oh, and one last thing, social work and psychology are both great professions where you can make a genuine difference in someone's life--just keep in mind that psychologists tend to get paid more than social workers. Money may or may not be an issue for you, but it might be something to think about as you make plans.

Good luck! I really admire people who dedicate their lives to others. Makes me want to be less selfish.

Question by : I'm a psych major and I want to work with babies/young children but not troubled ones; any career advice?
I love psychology but I would prefer to not work troubled babies or children. I am very open to any career suggestions because I am willing to go to post undergrad school and not necessarily dealing with psychology.

I do not want to work in day care.

I've looked into speech therapy a little bit but am not entirely interested and neonatal nursing requires too much schooling for me. Any other suggestions?

Best answer:

Answer by TUG
Sounds like you should study Sociology instead. You can be a school counselor, or a social worker in a hospital perhaps.
Think about it.
Good Luck
