(Updated!) Great School Jobs Website - Returning 5/13/2008

(Updated: 5/13/2008 8:30 AM)

Based on the feedback we received this weekend while working on the site, it’s great to see that GreatSchoolJobs.com is a valuable job-finding resource. We really appreciated all of the feedback and share with you our pain that it has been unavailable for several days.

THE GOOD NEWS…all of the problems that we saw last week have been addressed and we are re-enabling the site now. It should be available as soon as 10:00 AM (Eastern Time) on Tuesday, 5/13/2008.

We have some more scheduled maintenance to perform, but we will be reserving that for late evenings when it shouldn’t impact so many people so much.

Thanks for all your patience! Looking forward to seeing you back here very, very soon.

Sincerely,

Tony Goggin

While testing on the integrity of the database and code on Great School Jobs has gone well, we have identified a security vulnerabily with the Great School Jobs website that may allow a malicious attacker to erase data from the site. Due to these security threats, Solutionwhere has decided to temporarily take GreatSchoolJobs.com offline for detailed evaluation and enhancement.

This is a preemptive measure on our part. All user information in the database is secure and the site will be back up early next week at the latest. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.

We will be working on the site throughout the weekend in an effort to get it ready in the most timely fashion possible. We promise to have the site back up so that you may quickly resume your teaching job search, administrative job search, or other school job related search with our site.

We hope to see you back next week. Until then, have a good weekend!

Sincerely,

The Great School Jobs website is currently undergoing website maintenance. We’re very sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Normally we reserve this kind of maintenance for off-peak hours, however problems in the database that drive the website have arisen in the past couple of days, causing us to perform these tasks now. We are working very hard to correct these problems and we will bring back the website just as soon as we are able to.

Great School Jobs is the top site on the internet for finding teaching jobs, school administrator jobs, librarian jobs, and other school faculty jobs.

Thanks for your patience! Hope to see you back here very soon.

Tips on Writing Resumes and Job Applications

Nowadays, online resources make it much easier for college graduates to search for jobs and start working on a career that will enable them to achieve their dreams in life. The World Wide Web gives easy and convenient access to various job search sites and online career advices. With the technology we have today, it is much more easy and quick to get hired and paid. By just entering keywords in search engines, you are being exposed to hundreds and thousands of possible employers and with just a click of a button, you are on your way to getting the job you desire.

But even with all the information that can be obtained online, some college students still find it hard to begin a career after graduation. There may be several explanations here but the major reason why some graduates still find it hard is because they do not know where to begin. If you are a college graduate seeking a job, then you have probably asked yourself these questions - What do I want to do for a living? What type of company do I want to work for? Am I willing to relocate?

Tough questions? Perhaps. But every journey starts with a first step, which in our case would be to make a first impression through writing a perfect resume. Here are some great tips on how to write your perfect resume.

  • Before writing your resume, you have to take into consideration the type of job you are applying for. Think of specific keywords that your employer might search for in your resume. Here are some examples:
  1. Ability to (uphold, delegate, supervise, etc.)
  2. Analytical ability
  3. Detail oriented
  4. Problem solving skills
  5. Result driven
  6. Communication skills
  7. Team leader
  • Personalize your resume:
  1. Create a positive first impression. Showcase your communication skills and make sure your resume is easy to read. In most cases you won’t get a second chance to impress the employer so you better do it right the first time.
  2. Tell who you are. Inform the reader about your most prominent qualifications and why they should hire you for the job. Bear in mind, however, that there is no need to lie. Most, if not all, of the employers out there prefer an honest resume to keep them from setting expectations far greater than what you are capable of.
  3. Describe what you have learned. It is undertandable that fresh graduates such as yourself do not have any work experience. In this case, it is best to highlight the courses, seminars and projects that you have conducted, participated in and attended.
  4. Make a list of your achievements. It is best to put modesty on the backseat at this point. Show your employer the achievements and awards you have acquired in the past and list them down accordingly.
  • After writing your resume make sure to:
  1. Adjust and edit as needed.
  2. Print out the resume that you have created to see how it would look like on paper.
  3. Always bring your resume to a job interview so you can leave a copy if needed.

After writing your resume, do not limit yourself to just one job application. Give yourself options. It’s a big wide world and there are plenty of places to start your career. UK, for one, offers many opportunities for fresh graduate students to begin their career. It is best to choose an environment that suits you and colleagues that you see yourself working well with at the early stages of your career to avoid regrets later on. It is quite vital that you get on track right from the start.

Whether it is Healthcare and Pharmaceuticals, Industrial and Engineering, Banking and Finance, Technology or any other sector, graduate jobs in the UK prove to be the best starting point for one’s career. Considering that fresh graduates do not have work experiences, the UK job market has various great job opportunities from top companies opened for them. Why settle for unpaid experiences when you can get hired and paid by top companies, adding up work experience as you travel down the road of your chosen career?

Whatever sector you choose in the UK; from graduate jobs in sales, graduate jobs in retail, graduate management jobs, graduate consultancy jobs or graduate leisure and travel jobs, you got to choose the ultimate resource for discovering your future. It is imperative to gain knowledge about leading companies, industry news, emerging sectors, salary terms and much more, so you can make an educated decision.

Effective Employment Producing Job Interview Tips

by James Redder

When you’re looking for a new job, the interview is for most the most nerve-wracking part of the whole process. There is an element of fear, which can make you nervous with the result being poor performance during the interview. Doing well in a job interview depends largely on being well prepared and in a good frame of mind. The job interview is the number one thing on which employers judge prospective employees; gauging whether or not the prospective hire would be capable of the duties entailed by the position. During the interview, the employer will try to get a sense of how you think and how this might apply to the position in question. This is why preparation is key - if you show up for an interview with no idea how to deal with the demands of the job you are trying to land, then it will be no surprise if you fail to do well in the interview.
