In this tight job market, you sometimes have no option but to 'take it where you find it'. This article gives an overview of the global market for expatriate 'contract work' in developing countries, isolated and high-risk environments.

There are three main types of overseas work:

1. Fixed Term Contract as an Expatriate.
2. Contract or permanent, with the aim of becoming a citizen of that country.
3. Overseas Assignment (secondment or transfer) whilst employed by your home company.

Work Permits

Most countries are capping the number of foreign nationals allowed to work there, and changing rules for Points-based entry. Before spending hours on the internet applying for jobs, check what types of skills are in demand. There are specialist emigration agencies and law firms that can advise you on the permit or visa that will enable you to live and work in the country you're interested in. Many of these also have useful (free!) advice on their website.

What kinds of jobs are available?

There is a huge variety of jobs, especially in a good economic climate. The recent world market financial crisis has dampened this prospect but it will pick up again. Everything from technical (engineering, electrical, mechanics) to management (HR, finance, training) and security-related work.

PRO's: Why should I consider working overseas?

• It builds good experience which can help you to get a job when you return home.
• In most cases, it pays very well, always in US dollars.

CONS: What are the main negatives?

• Most jobs are in places where no-one wants to go - either very isolated, high-risk or 3rd world environments.
• It is difficult to start a new life and career without a good support network, e.g. family and friends. You need emotional and psychological resilience - the loneliness and homesickness may result in poor concentration, or depression.
• Long distances and poor infrastructure means that travel to and from home (for rotational leave) can be exhausting and frustrating.
• Cultural differences play a bigger role than you may expect. It is difficult to make friends.
• The cost of living can be high - although accommodation may be supplied by the employer, food and extras can be exorbitant.

Client Feedback

"I recently arrived in Ghana to start a new contact and did some sight-seeing in Accra (capital) this weekend. They have a Woolworths, Shoprite/Checkers, Game Store, Mr Price Clothing and good pharmacies but it is all very expensive. One box of Breakfast All Bran Flakes = USD 12.00!"

What kind of salary can I expect to earn?

In most cases, Expat contracts include accommodation, food and travel (to country of origin and back for rotational leave) on top of the salary. Salaries range from US$3,500.00 to US$15,000.00 - obviously depending on the position.

What are the main criteria for overseas applications?

1. A qualification from a recognised tertiary or training institution.
2. Excellent health - full medical checks are mandatory.
3. Clean criminal record - you need a Police Clearance Certificate.
4. References plays an important role...have them lined up!
5. Credit record verification will be done for most senior and financial positions.

Useful CV hints

- Your CV should be 100 % correct in terms of dates worked at companies.
- If you're a senior professional with a lot of detailed information for your CV, have two documents - a 2-page Resumé which is sent first, and a detailed version which can be sent on request if the recruiter wants to shortlist you.
- Ensure you have all the international dialling codes for your contact numbers, including your referees. For international calls to South Africa, this is: +27-31-5723193 (Durban). Also include e-mail addresses for referees.
- Include your passport number, Visa status (e.g. whether you have a work permit) and any other passports you hold, in the CV.

Aircraft Mechanic - Career Courses

By Renata McGee


Job Vacancy Indonesia, Employee, Vacancy 

Working equipment on aircrafts is the number one priority when it comes to flight safety. All aspects of an aircraft are vital to the success of a flight. Students can enter a career as an aircraft mechanic after completing a schooling program from a vocational college.

To gain a further understanding of the career students can research typical vocational programs and their curriculums. An aircraft mechanic program or often referred to as avionics technician program can be entered at numerous schools. In the process of working through focused courses students learn to be specialized repair technicians. The goal of education is to prepare students to perform repairs, maintenance, and inspections of an aircraft. Courses hone in on the ability for mechanics to recall information so they can install, manage, and remove equipment. Different aspects of the field are looked at in separate courses. Coursework inside a vocational degree may include:

• Aircraft Electrical Systems
• Autopilot Systems
• Avionics Maintenance
• Calibration Equipment

Vocational colleges offer students these courses and more inside a certificate or associate's degree program. The integration of these courses is centered on providing students with the educational background to service aircrafts. Troubleshooting potential problem areas and ensuring that the structure of an aircraft is sound and ready for flight are the two main ways mechanics perform service. Students can expect to learn the entire mechanical process after completing a program. General courses taken inside a vocational program teach students the maintenance needed to maintain an aircraft.

Courses vary depending on the school and program selected but most include courses like:

*Aircraft Electrical Systems

Introductory concepts are introduced that include alternative and direct power currents. The circuits and voltage used are emphasized so students understand how to fix electrical systems inside aircrafts. After a basic foundation is laid students apply their knowledge to the operation of an aircraft. Understanding the power behind operation is how students learn to fix aircrafts when they cease to work or malfunction.

*Maintenance Procedure

Due to the regulation standards set forth by the Federal Aviation Administration students are required to adhere to these standards in the classroom and in the workplace. This type of course examines how to inspect, manage, and report all maintenance completed. Students learn to keep records of all work conducted to ensure that repairs are done according to code and the specific technical requirements of aircrafts.

*Communication Maintenance

The ability for a pilot to communicate is essential for safe travel. Students work to understand the systems of an aircraft and how to fix them when they fail. The main system is explored to train students to repair the electronics part so pilots can successfully send out messages to their control tower.

The knowledge gained inside a program is vital to the work done in the professional world. Students can study the mechanics of an aircraft by first exploring the different schooling options and entering accredited program. Programs and their concentrated courses center on giving students the proper knowledge to go from the classroom to the field. Full accreditation is provided by agencies like the Council on Aviation Accreditation ( http://www.aabi.aero/ ) to programs that offer the best quality education. Students can make this transition smoothly by completing a program in aircraft mechanics.

Fridge Magnets As An Advertising Tool - Does It Work?

By Robert Badger

Job Vacancy Indonesia, Employee, Vacancy  

Fridge magnets are gaining in popularity as a way to advertise a business. The one question that many people have is if it actually works. Although there are no guarantees on any advertising options, fridge magnets have a very successful track record for a number of reasons.

Refrigerators are one of those items that every household has. It is also located in a heavily traveled area and has many people opening and shutting it every day. Because of this, companies have decided to include these magnets in the reach of their advertising.

Each time someone walks up to the refrigerator, they will see the magnetic advertisement- depending on where they put the actual magnet. It is very common to place fridge magnets on the front of the refrigerator rather than on the side which means it is very possible that a person would see the advertisement every time. Once a person grabs what they need out of the fridge, they shut the door and have an opportunity to see the magnet advertisement once again. Every single time someone heads toward the refrigerator, this process happens.

Consider the fact that people go into the kitchen for many other reasons. One of these reasons is to wash their hands. Other reasons people go in the kitchen is to make a meal, do the dishes, get a cup or utensils and much more. If the fridge is in the garage, there are many other opportunities to see the advertisement as well. No matter where the fridge magnet is located, it will gain a ton of exposure.

Many people choose to create business card fridge magnets as a replacement or addition to the traditional business card. There are benefits to this including the fact that it will not get damaged. This route is highly successful because, unlike a paper business card, the magnet does not usually get misplaced. If someone picks up a card and then sets it down after a number has been dialed, there is a greater chance that it will be lost and not available for future use. When people refer to fridge magnets, it usually remains on the fridge because they walk up to it, dial the number and then walk away.

There are many ways that fridge magnets can be effective. It is important to identify a target market before deciding on which style to go with. Some companies get a huge return for using magnetic calendars or photo frames while others fair better with a simple business card look.

Choosing fridge magnets as a medium to advertise through is an excellent idea. It provides a huge amount of exposure which lasts a long time and brands the company name, logo and slogan multiple times daily to the people who see it.

By Alex F Gray

Job Vacancy Indonesia, Employee, Vacancy 

Human Resource Management, also referred to as HRM, performs a variety of different functions and activities to satisfy the staffing needs of a small business or large corporation. Several different areas of staffing and employee development are considered in HRM. Each decision made is geared to the betterment of the company while still reducing operational and overhead costs. A Human Resource Management Department will be dedicated to hiring the best candidates, paying employees and providing benefits information, training employees, ensuring compliance to state and federal-mandated regulations, ensuring a safe working environment, and rewarding high performing employees. Each of these functions plays a significant role in the operation of any business no matter the size.

In Human Resource Management, getting the best employees is more than just conducting interviews. The management department will need to develop a plan by determining how many employees are needed and which positions need to be filled. They will also be responsible for specifying job titles and responsibilities and recruiting individuals with experience who may prove to be an asset to the company. Once candidates have been selected, they will also perform screening and background checks as required by the company.

HRM handles compensation and benefits for employees. The HRM department decides all retirement plans, life insurance, health insurance, disability insurance, employee stock ownership, salary, bonuses and commissions. When issues with pay or benefits arise, employees are told to consult a benefits or HR employee to discuss the concerns or errors.

Training employees is yet another function Human Resource Management is responsible for. From new hire orientations and training to career and leadership development classes, there are several programs to consider. Employees being promoted from within will often require management development courses, which will be planned and overseen by the HRM department.

Federal and state regulations are very strict about work policies and personnel records. The HRM must meet federal requirements at all times and keep detailed records for audits. Employee laws and Ethics training will need to review on an annual basis as the laws and practices change frequently. Keeping up with these changes is required of all HRM departments in the country.

Making sure employees are performing to their full potential is important to run a profitable organization. The Human Resource Management department will oversee employee performance, perform reviews, give warnings, write ups, oversee attendance, and sustain high performing employees. Each function of the department is important for the health of a business of corporation.

Increase Local Plumbing Service Leads Through Directory Listings and Internet Marketing

By B. K. Sachse

Job Vacancy Indonesia, Employee, Vacancy    

For a local plumber, it can be difficult to gain new leads and sales in your service area due to increased market competition and changes in advertising methods. Most companies rely on yellow pages, radio, and television advertising to gain new customers. These mediums work for companies that have large advertising budgets thus making the barrier to entry great.

For smaller companies, word of mouth, networking, referrals, and vehicle advertising are the only methods used. While these methods work, they lack long-term sustainability and growth potential. Small business plumbers should seek alternative means of gaining new customers such as creating a website, hiring an internet marketing professional, and obtaining plumber directory listings.

Creating a website can be one of the most beneficial means of gaining new customers in your service area as it allows you to target keywords that are specific to individuals that are seeking plumbing services in a certain city, region, or state. Your website will also allow up selling through additional services that you offer to customers when they are unaware of every skill your company provides. Obtaining a website is easily the most cost-effective advertising money you will spend.

Once your website is created, you will want to hire an affordable internet marketing company that can provide a free consultation in order to understand your online marketing goals. An internet marketing company will provide keyword research, competition analysis, search engine submission, local search submission, on-page and off-page search engine optimization, and optionally, search engine marketing. The long-term benefits of hiring a web marketing company far outweigh the initial upfront costs and an effective provider will provide a nice return on investment for years to come. Be aware that providers in the internet marketing industry vary from company to company. Similar to the plumbing industry, some service providers complete superior work, while others make the issue worse than it was to begin with.

Your internet marketing consultant should provide a list of promotion methods you can do on your own that will facilitate your plumbing company's success on the web. These include, but are not limited to: posting in relevant plumbing forums with your company information in the signature, creating plumbing directory listings for your company, creating plumbing industry blog posts on your website, and maintaining web 2.0 accounts on the most popular social networking websites.

Increasing local plumbing service leads in your service area can be a difficult task to smaller companies. Your plumbing company does not need a huge marketing and advertising budget to succeed. Using the methods and advice provided in this article should lower the barriers to entry and increase company success while saving on monthly costs that traditional advertising requires.

Offset Printing Vs Digital Printing

By Noah Salzman

Job Vacancy Indonesia, Employee, Vacancy   

Most commercial printers these days offer both offset printing and digital printing, but which is better and what are the differences that are significant to the print buyer?

In almost all cases, there is a clear and obvious choice which method is best suited for the production of an order, and any professional commercial printing sales representative should be able to know immediately which way to go.

Let me begin by stating that the quality of the print impression is not one of the deciding factors. Before commercial printers had invested in digital equipment they would point out that digital imaging quality was inferior to offset imaging quality, and perhaps there was a time when this was true, but not today. Over the last decade, the technical advancements in digital printing has brought it to the point where even people working in the trade can not tell the difference between a digitally printed sheet or one that was offset printed. The print buyer or average consumer looking at the printed item certainly has no clue which of the two methods was used.

So what are the deciding factors? The first and most significant issue is the quantity of the run. Offset printing requires plates and set up time which is the same whether the print run is one hundred or one million, and there is a fixed cost for that. Digital printing does not require plates or significant set up time and can produce a quality impression from the first output sheet. However, digital printing is slow and there is no economy of scale. The one hundredth sheet or the one thousandth sheet, costs the same as the first sheet. In offset printing the press can run at incredible speed. In some cases the press can print more than 4 sheets a second which is approximately 6 times faster than a digital press, and that's not taking into consideration the huge difference in the size of the sheet, but we'll talk about that in another paragraph. Therefore, in offset printing, you amortize the fixed costs of plates and set up into your run (the number of sheets being printed), and the unit cost reduces with every additional sheet being printed. In general, the number of impressions where the two methods cost the same is one thousand. Above that number offset will be more cost-effective, and below that number digital will be less expensive. So the trick here is to determine the required quantity. Usually, if a client needs 5,000 of an item he won't be ordering 500, and vice versa.

The size of the press sheet is also a main determining factor. At present the largest digital print image is 12in. x 18in., so any item larger than that automatically has to be printed offset. There is one exception. If you are only printing a few copies of a large image, it can be done in large format digital, but at $6.00 a square foot, at around 20 units offset printing will become less expensive. As well, if you want to print (for example) 8 - 8 1/2 x 11 pages, this would fit onto one set of plates of a 40in. offset press and would be more efficient than digital unless, of course, the quantity was very small - under 300. So, as you can see, the decision becomes a function of size and quantity, but an experienced estimator can usually tell at a glance which method would work best.

As a footnote I would like to mention that Fuji is unveiling the first 28in. digital printing press later this month at the Graph Expo in Chicago.

Success at Work : People Skills : Complaining

By Stephen Bucaro

Job Vacancy Indonesia, Employee, Vacancy  

Do you know an individual at work who is a chronic complainer? Are YOU a chronic complainer? People don't like complainers. Listening to a chronic complainer gets people depressed. They prefer to associate with people that make them feel good. If you are always complaining about something, people will start to ignore you.

If you're a chronic complainer, you're sabotaging yourself and your success at work. In this article, I explain how you can improve your outlook at work and improve your prospects for success. The first thing you need to do is get in touch with reality.

People are not perfect and you shouldn't expect them to be. An organization is a group of people, so no company or organization can be perfect. If you expect your organization to be perfect, you need to change your expectations.

Instead of expecting things to be perfect, expect everything to be totally screwed up at all times. Then on the rare occasion when something does go right, you will be pleasantly surprised.

There are many problems that you can't do anything about. Learn to work around the things you can't change. Some things you can change. Instead of whining and complaining, take responsibility for a problem you can solve. Don't try to change the world, focus on improving your own little corner of the company.

You might realize that there are many problems you might be able to solve. Don't try to solve all the problems at once. Prioritize the things that you view as problems and choose your battles. Attack the most important problem first.

When you complain, limit your complaint to one problem and be specific. Along with your complaint, suggest a realistic solution. If you can't think of a realistic solution to the problem, then how do you expect someone else to solve the problem?

Sometimes it's best to put your complaint in writing. Put your written complaint aside for a day. Don't submit your complaint until your writing is clear, logical, and carefully thought out. By the time you finish, you may realize that you didn't completely understand the problem, or you may decide that the problem isn't worth complaining about after all.

If your complaint involves a person, avoid attacking that individual. Don't complain that the individual is stupid or inconsiderate. Complain that what the individual did was stupid or inconsiderate. If a person works really hard, they might be able to change how they act, but they can never change who they are.

Complaining about your boss or a higher manager is very dangerous. Don't complain about the boss to your coworkers. If your boss loses face, the only way to gain back their self respect may be to fire you. Ask your boss for a private meeting and discuss the problem in a calm and polite manner.

Whether the person you are complaining about is your boss or a coworker, try to make some compliments along with the complaint. Everybody has good and bad characteristics. Make sure the individual understands that you recognize and appreciate their good characteristics. That person may not realize that anyone thought they had good characteristics and you may gain a new friend.

Note: Similar to never complaining about your boss to coworkers, a consultant should never complain about his company to the firm that he is hired out to.

It may be difficult to recognize, but all problems have a good side. Many problems are opportunities in disguise. Look for the positive side in every problem. Approach all problems with a sense of humor. If you can find the positives or the humor in a problem and you make positive statements to your coworkers and your boss, you will greatly improve your prospects for success at work.

Account Executives

From Rachel Deahl

Job Vacancy Indonesia, Employee, Vacancy

 

What Do Account Executives Do?

A friend of mine, who works in advertising, once likened the job of an account executive to that of an orchestra conductor. As he explained it, account executives, like orchestra conductors, are there to make sure everything, and everyone, is working in unison.

While you might argue that account executives also aim to make beautiful music, their tools are undoubtedly different -- instead of directing musicians they’re working at advertising agencies making sure the copywriters, art directors and other creatives are doing their jobs.

What Does an Account Executive Oversee?

In short, account executives oversee ad campaigns. Advertising agencies are multifaceted, in so far as they create campaigns for clients across a number of mediums -- print, TV, online. Because of this fact there are various people working on different aspects of a single campaign.

While one department within an agency might be creating a series of print ads for a client, another department might be fashioning a series of television ads. Despite this fact all the ads being created need to be getting across the same message, and it's the account executive's job to make sure that's happening.

Put another way, the account executive is there to make sure all the people creating the various components of the campaign are working in a unified manner, and staying on target with the message of the campaign as hammered out by the media planner.

The account executive is also the liaison between the client and the advertising agency. This means that it's up to the account executive to distill the client’s wishes to the creatives at the agency, and vice versa.

How Do You Get a Job As An Account Executive?

There’s no specific training for account executive positions but most agencies look to hire people with a college degree. Account executives, who need to be skilled at working with people and distilling ideas and directions in a clear and concise way, work their way up at advertising agencies. Generally account execs prove their worth by successfully handling accounts and moving on to work on multiple accounts and/or bigger accounts. Above the account executive position is the account manager.
