Career Exploration and Career Stuff on the Internet Advertisements
Series of Blog posts on career stuff. Focus will be on career exploration and Internet job resources. My hope is that you will find the information helpful in your career journey. As with anything you read on the internet, please evaluate the information you read and use the specific information that helpful to you.
You may find advertisements dealing with career stuff. Advertisements dealing with career stuff can be in a variety of places like:
* Signs along the road
* T.V.
* Radio
* The Internet
* “help wanted” sign in front of a store
Advertisements dealing with career stuff can be in areas like:
* Jobs – see advertisements for specific job opportunities
* Careers – advertisements to have you enter a particular field; I seen examples of this to have people enter the public teaching profession
* Specific employers – you may see advertisements to look for employment opportunities for a specific employer
* Educational/training place – you may see advertisements on education or training
* Geographical areas – advertisements to have business locate in specific areas; state governments from the United States will advertise to have business come to their state
* Job Search assistance – you may find some places will advertise on giving you help to find a particular job; some places in this area can be
* Temporary placement firms – may be advertisements for a temporary firm to help place people find temporary job positions (also permanent job positions as well)
* Career expert – may see advertisements where a career expert can help a person with their career search
Advertisements can make you aware of opportunities. Advertisements may give a particular angle towards the information that has the effect that the information may not be accurate.
Few examples of this can be
Educational place that advertises great job positions for a profession; the educational place may overemphasize the number of jobs in the profession to gain students
Job advertisements – when a person looks for a job position, a person may find different job advertisements. A person who may have a job advertisement that promises a $1 million dollars a year and the job requires no effort and can be done part-time will likely be a job position that not accurate; a common saying goes something like “something sounds too good to be true, it probably is” can be helpful when looking at job positions
Advertisements can make us aware of opportunities that you may not be aware of; advertisements may have a particular point of view creating information that may not be accurate. Evaluate the information you receive from advertisements to see if the information may be of value to you.
