Looking for a Job Using the Web to Win

January 10th, 2010

The Internet offers huge opportunities for a job hunter, but also presents several possible challenges. It also adds many complexities, and a lot more things to consider…and be wary of.

Job search needs to be thought of as a highly personal, extremely targeted marketing operation where you are the product. Your resume is an ad. Your extended network of colleagues is your inside source for information and job leads.

So where does the web fit in? At AA-Careers, we recently posted a job on Craigslist and got 600+ responses in a week. For a single position. That’s increased job hunting competition.

Had a great candidiate gotten ahold of us before we posted the ad, they could have landed the job before having all that competition. How? By finding someone who knows someone at our office who became aware of the job prior to posting. Everyone was aware of the job for at least 12 days before it was posted. Who in your network might know of a job that’s coming available soon?

Be sure to check your application matierials carefully! When we did an analysis of the 650 resumes, we found a large number of errors. 63% of the applicants were easily taken out with a fast-paced triage process. How? The same way any employer would. By rejecting resumes where the objective didn’t match our job description. By rejecting candidates whose cover letters gave us reasons not to hire them, like "I know I’m overqualified but I really need a job". By eliminating job hunters whose documents that didn’t open properly. And by eliminating candidates who didn’t trouble to spell check their cover letter and/or resume.

So the great news is that job boards give you a sense of who is hiring, and for what kinds of positions. But once those positions are posted, the competition is intense. You can still compete, if you have a well honed resume, designed to appeal directly and clearly to the recruiter. And if you have practiced interviewing – so you don’t stumble at a critical point.

Another thing to be aware of is how quickly and easily you can be checked out on the internet. As we Googled several job hunters, we ran into some MySpace comments that were in questionable taste. Nothing larcenous, but enough to sway our thinking about who to employ.

AA-Careers provides a encompassing set of services for Bay Area job seekers, providing our clients a personal career consultant, a managed job hunting campaign, modern tools like a personal website, video, highly targeted resume, and much more. Let us know if we can help you.

Be careful out there, and good hunting!

Your Spanish Mortgage: What Are Your Options?

January 10th, 2010

In uncertain economic times, many people find themselves unable to make their mortgage payments. This often leads to homeowners defaulting on their mortgage, and defaulting on a mortgage for a primary or secondary residence can have serious repercussions for the homeowner. These consequences vary by state, province, and country, so you must be sure to completely understand them.

There are specific repercussions involved in defaulting on a mortgage in Spain. If you are not a Spanish citizen but own a home in Spain, you may think its still possible to easily walk away from the mortgage with no consequences whatsoever. People who were not Spanish citizens but owned a vacation or second home in Spain could default on the mortgage with little or no cost or repercussions. But now Spanish mortgage holders can and do pursue every legal means necessary to collect on their mortgages.

In case a homeowner must default on a Spanish mortgage, turning over the home to the bank is often an option. This simple option will save the homeowner a lot of money in court costs and additional interest on the home loan. You cant just turn the keys over to the bank without arranging it, however. The bank can to agree to accept the home back, but they do not have to. The bank is more likely to accept the home back from you if you have had a true hardship that has affected your ability to make payments on your Spanish mortgage. Any homeowners that can prove such a hardship to the bank will be even more likely to succeed in negotiating a turnover.

If the bank rejects a home turnover offer from the homeowner, he or she will need to try to sell the home quickly. Try to get a final sale price that will cover the remaining amount on your Spanish mortgage or one that will come as close as possible to paying it off, as the bank will still expect the full amount from you in any case. They are more likely to do so if the shortfall is large. But the bank can legally attempt to collect any amount from you. This means you may face liens on any assets you own, including your primary home and investments. Although it may take years to collect on the shortfall by going through the court systems, the bank that holds your Spanish mortgage will not give up until they do.

Defaulting on a mortgage in Spain is an extremely serious situation, so it is essential that the homeowner work as closely as possible with the bank as soon as it is evident that defaulting is going to be unavoidable. Showing a willingness to work with the bank can allow a homeowner to walk away from a Spanish mortgage with as little financial cost as possible and still retain full ownership of all his or her other assets.

Stereophonics Frontman Admits He Spent Most of the Last Year Listening to Scottish Star Paolo Nutini

January 7th, 2010

Rocker Kelly Jones has revealed that he spent 2009 listening to Paolo Nutini.

The Stereophonics frontman said the 22-year-old Scottish star’s second LP Sunny Side Up was his favourite record of the past 12 months and he regularly played it at home.

Paisley soul sensation Paolo’s second record knocked American hip-hop favourite Eminem off the top of the album charts in June.

The follow-up to These Streets, gave him his second No1 and became the year’s third best-selling album in the UK.

Kelly said: “In a world of auto-tuned singles Pencil Full Of Lead is summer. Paolo is a great singer, with Sam Cooke and Otis Redding influences. It’s a good album to have on in the house.”

The Stereophonics singer joins a long line of stars who have praised Paolo.

Rod Stewart, Mick Jagger, Paul Weller, Michael Jackson’s producer Quincy Jones and Taylor Swift also love him.

In November, Pink hooked up with Paolo when he played a gig in Amsterdam and was highly impressed. Discussing Sunny Side Up, she said: “It makes me love music again. I’ve got a big goofy smile on my face.”

Since then, she has invited him to tour with her in Germany this year.

Rod has voiced his admiration for Paolo, too, saying: “He has a great career ahead of him. I’ve been around the block a few times to know what it takes to be able to pull in a crowd.

“There are similarities between us. We are both Celtic supporters and good looking but we have our own distinctivesounds.Paolowilldovery well. He comes across as humble.”

Sunny Side Up has already gone double platinum (600,000 sales) and featured the singles Candy, Coming Up Easy and Pencil Full Of Lead as well as 10/10, which is released on January 11.

Meanwhile, Paolo has a producer in mind for his next album, Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page.

He said: “You have people on your wishlist and Jimmy is definitely on mine. Getting someone that’s enthusiastic about your music is the main thing. It’s better to have someone like that than the trendy hitmakers.”

Spys in CyberWorld

January 6th, 2010

Did you know your own computer is syping on you? Did you know that every click you make on your windows start menu is logged to a hidden, encrypted database in your computer?

It’s very important that you read a site’s privacy policy to find out what information a web site gathers about you when you visit and how they intend to use it.

People ARE spying on you!! Companies are beginning to check the contents of their employees computers after working hours. Have you been surfing and sending email during working hours? Would your boss approve of this? If not, your job could be in jeopardy.

Think this sounds a bit outrageous?

— July 2000 — FACT: 50 Workers At Dow Chemical Co.’s Headquarters Site In Michigan were fired and another 200 were Disciplined for distributing, downloading or saving pictures that were either pornographic or violent in nature.

FACT: Merck Fired Two Workers And Disciplined Several Dozen Others for what the Company called “Inappropriate Use Of The Internet.”

FACT: Xerox Corporation, Fired 40 workers and The New York Times terminated 23 employees at a Data Processing Center for similar offenses.

— January 5, 2001 — Leading Insurance Company Royal and Sun Alliance sacked 10 people and suspended at least 77 over the distribution of “Lewd” E-mails.

Your computer keeps records of both your online and off-line activities. Everything you do is recorded. If you view web pages, movies or videos, play .wav or .midi files….it is all recorded to your hard drive! Did you know that when you do a search on the internet, this search information is recorded to hidden, encrypted files on your PC? Do you really know what’s been downloaded or hidden on your computer?

Forensic analysis has become technologically superior in finding evidence of all sorts. They can remove your PC’s hard drive and discover things about you that you probably didn’t even know was there. Things you “thought” you deleted. You might think you’ve cleaned out all your sensitive files, but the truth is, many of them are still there.

Peter Constantine of Data Discovery http://www.teleport.com/~peterc/ ) says that “….today’s computers are “grabbing material and tucking it away in little pigeonholes… The user has no idea that the data is out there.”

Digital Intelligence, Inc, http://www.digitalintel.com/freddie.htm ) has developed F.R.E.D.D.I.E. (F)orensic (R)ecovery of (E)vidence (D)evice (I)nterrogation (E)quipment which is portable and can be used in a crime scene (or any other time for that matter) to recover data from a multitude of electronic devices including, hard drives, CD’s, Floppys, Zip drives and tape cartridges.

Skeptical person that I am, I decided to do an experiment to find out exactly HOW MUCH hidden stuff really was on my computer. If you are a Windows 95/98 user, try this experiment yourself.

1. Delete all your files from your Windows 95/98 recycle bin using the standard ‘Empty Recycle Bin’ command. 2. Open your browser and delete the history files and browser cache from your preferences/options menu. 3. Open Windows Explorer and right click on the drive letter you use for your main hard drive. Select “Properties” 4. Write down your drive’s total Capacity, Used Space and Free Space; you’ll need this later. 5. Download the Evidence EliminatorT free trial program from http://www.evidence-eliminator.com/go.shtml?A654789 6. Run the Evidence Eliminator(TM). 7. Repeat step 3 and compare how much free space is now available on your hard drive.

Here’s the results of my experiment:

Total hard drive space 30,677,901,312 bytes (28.5GB)

Available space before Evidence Eliminator: 26,893,676,544 bytes Available space AFTER Evidence Eliminator: 26,620,821,504 bytes

Total reclaimed space: 272,855,040 bytes

To translate, Evidence Eliminator(TM) removed over 260MB of files from my computer! This isn’t much for those of us who have mega-space on our hard drives, but for those with more limited space, 260MB is a lot!

Here’s some astonishing information I discovered about files on my computer:

295 Windows Application logs were found. These logs stored information about what windows programs I’ve been using each day.

There were almost 90 “components” discovered and removed that had “installed themselves” to my computer without my knowledge!

271 Start Menu Recent Documents logs were removed. This held information about what programs I had selected from my Windows Start Menu.

3601 IE cache files were found AFTER I had cleared my IE cache and history!

1960 IE cookies were removed. I had full control over which cookies I kept and which ones I did not.

5636 Windows .TMP files were found that were NOT removed using the browser history delete options. Some of these files are the result of extracting .zip files that were downloaded from the internet, web pages I viewed off-line, .midi and .wav files which downloaded during visits to web pages with background music, etc.

My experiment proved to me that there IS information about me and my computer usage habits that is stored on my computer which takes up valuable space, not to mention information I might not want to ever be public knowledge. It’s always a good idea to keep your computer clean of unwanted files and protect your privacy at the same time.

Are you aware of every single file on your computer? You should be! Protect yourself from Cyber-Spys and regain control of what information is stored on your PC. In this world of high technology, you never can tell when this information could be found and used.
