It’s early November and businesses are scrambling to fill temporary positions to meet their holiday rush. Though it had been months since some applicants applied, they rush through hundreds of resumes to find those applicants that are still in need of a job. Now the hiring manager gets desperate to fill the vacancies so they hire the first few people that respond to their phone call. Can this process be easier and not such a pain?

 The answer is yes!, introducing JobBullet.com which helps you find all types of ideal professionals to complete side or temp jobs and projects. JobBullet provides a fast searchable platform for the hiring manager. Instead of wasting time looking through piles of resumes, with JobBullet, they can search resumes digitally, welcome to the 21st century. Each profile has all the necessary information contained in a resume plus more.  We help the manager quickly discern between applicants by attaching certain images to the applicant’s profile so in just a few seconds, a manager could look at ten applicants simultaneously and determine which applicant has the higher credentials. Profiles also contain graded prior work reviews, recommendations, and a list of their professional network. By sorting through applicants very quickly and locate several qualified ones all while each party’s information is kept away from the party is quite genious! Is this all possible? Yes it is and you won’t find this high quality of service from monster, craigslist, or Elance.

 For the holiday season, JobBullet will be looking for people to install Christmas lights, help build and assemble furniture for IKEA, Home Depot and Lowes. It is a side job worth having for the holidays!

Boost your salary!

Sunday, November 1st, 2009

The recession of 2008 has finally ended but it is still a tough economy to survive.  The commerce department reported that incomes were flat for the month of September so in fact as a nation, we all made less this month than the previous month when you throw in inflation. Dating back to last year, income has risen about 2%.

 

To boost your salary during tough economic times is going to take outside the box thinking.  That is where competitive advantage sets in.  Simply put, competitive advantage is the ability to do something easier than someone else. So a 7 feet person has a competitive advantage over someone that is 5 feet when it comes to dunking a basketball hoop.  To boost your salary, I encourage you to think about any competitive advantage that you might have (Legal Of course) to boost your salary.

 

We have all heard of someone that has a side job.  These days side jobs are becoming the norm and increasing in popularity.  In Taiwan , over 60% of workers do side jobs and 82% of those without are looking. Not just any side job is going to work. Successful businesses all have a competitive advantage so your side job must recognize its competitive advantage.

 

Consider two teenagers trying to start a lawn mowing business. If one of the teenager’s parents worked in a bank and the other teenager’s parent had a home business that sold household items. Which would have a competitive advantage? It is the teen with the parent that has the home business. Why? The teen could advertise their lawn service as a complimentary service with their parent’s business or the parent could lend their expertise and teach the teen how to sell to households. This puts the teen at an advantage over the one that has a parent that works in the bank.  Look around you, there are advantages everywhere. Put them to work and incorporate it with a side job to help to boost salary.  

 

There is no limit on the types of side jobs that you can do. You could help with tax preparation, fix computers, do hair, mentor, clean gutters etc
