Jobs are something that most of us have to have in order to pay the mortgage or rent and to feed our families. Some people have been stuck in a job which they do not enjoy for years, worried about leaving it for the unknown.

Job satisfaction is important for not only your own health and well being but also for that of your colleagues and the company that you work for. If you are in a job where you do not believe in the products or services you are selling then this can have a detrimental effect on all. Many people that work in call centres say that they do not like the way they are trained to speak to customers, often trying to persuade them or pressurise them in to buying something. This can leave you feeling deflated at the end of the day and can have a massive knock on effect on your home life.

If you are in a job that gives you very little or no satisfaction, why not start to explore other avenues of jobs that you may be able to apply for, you never know, it could be the best move you have ever made.

If you are in the web design industry then you will probably know that to create a comprehensive jobs board website requires a lot of programming and complex functionality and all of this costs time and money. If you are considering setting up a jobs boards you will need to take some time to carefully consider how you are going to make money from it. Are you going to charge the employers a fee to list the jobs, or the candidates a fee to apply for a position or maybe you are going to try and make your revenue from putting adverts on the site.

Ideally a jobs board should let employers and recruitment agencies register on the site and upload any job vacancies they have. If you are charging for this service you will need to add in a payment gateway system and possibly some sort of recurring payment system too.

For the candidates you will need to build in the functionality to ensure that the jobs are able to be searched and filter often on location, job type / role and salary. You may want to build in a system to allow candidates to upload their CV and apply for multiple jobs in a short period of time.

Sometimes a business will grow over time and it will become obvious to the owner that they need to take on more staff. This can happen gradually or suddenly there may be a need for more people. Some businesses need to have more than one member of staff to even start trading and this can often be quite risky for start up businesses that do not know how well they will succeed. If you have a business that requires additional staff you need to consider carefully not only who you employ but how you are going to manage them. If you are quite hands on in the business then you will probably have a good idea of what turnover and importantly profit you are making. From this you can work out how much you can afford to pay an employee leaving still enough profit within the company and also allowing for cash flow.

As a business owner you may be used to having to alter your wage each month depending on how well the business has done, but many employers offer their staff a salary so regardless of the profit the company has made, they will get paid the same. Some companies will offer a lower salary to staff with the opportunity to earn commission.

If you are self employed or have a small business then you may struggle to keep up with the costs of renting a business premises. On top of the rent you may also be responsible for business rates and internet / phone charges and this can very quickly add up to an extortionate amount a month.

Often people rent offices and only use a small proportion of the space available and essentially this is wasted. If you are looking to rent an office but feel that you don’t need a whole room then why not look at renting out part of the office to someone else. You will need to check what the terms of the contract is to ensure that you are allowed to do this but many owners are happy to do this as long as you guarantee the rent is paid even if the person you are leasing part of it out to doesn’t pay you.

If the thought of taking on the responsibility of renting out an office is a little bit too much for you then you could look in to renting a desk within an existing office. This is getting more and more popular and often you will pay a set amount a day or month which will include everything.

If you are looking to take on a new member of staff then you will need to consider how you are going to advertise the post. Some businesses choose to advertise the post themselves and others opt for using an agency. If you are going to use an agency then you will have to expect there to be a cost involved in advertising and managing the whole job application process for you. Often agencies will ask for a fixed fee or a percentage of the salary that you are offering on the job as their commission.

If you are advertising the job yourself then you need to consider where you wish to post your ad. You will probably be able to put it on a company website but this may not get seen as much as you need it to so often companies choose to also advertise on online jobs boards, in local papers and even on social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.

Time and time again people ask if they should add a picture to a CV. As a rule it is not necessary to add a picture to your CV but in certain industries such as beauty, you may wish to do so. If you do then be sure to add a professional image and not one of your latest holiday snaps.

If you are struggling to write your CV or need ideas on how to format the layout then search online for a template or speak to a careers advisors who should be able to give you some ideas.

A CV is often the first impression a potential employer will have about you so it needs to be professional. Checking for spelling and grammar mistakes is a must and ensuring that all your contact details are correct can be the difference between being invited to an interview and not.

When looking for a new job, how important is a wage? Most people would like to pick a job based on the satisfaction it gives them, something that they would enjoy to do, but unfortunately money is often the deciding factor.

A decent wage can add to job satisfaction as you may then feel that the job you are doing is being appreciated and that you are getting paid as you should do.  If you are working in a job that is low paid and you believe that you are giving your company a good level of service during your employment then you could ask for a rise in your salary. When asking for a wage rise, be sure to have a reason why you think that you deserve a rise, for example because you have accrued new business, you regularly work extra time without asking for overtime etc.

As wrong as it is, I still find many people are stating that they are better off for not working than working for minimum wage. This is a sad situation this day in age, when everyone should be rewarded financially for working and not suffer because of it. Often this is the case for parents with young children, where they also have to pay for nursery fees making it almost pointless in going to work.

When I was faced with a similar situation, you do have to consider the long term. My children will soon both be in school and then I will not have the cost of nursery. This means at this time I will be able to have more money left over and therefore will be financially better off. Had I chose to be out of work for years, I might have found it a lot harded to get back in to work and get a job when the time comes.

If you have been asked to attend an interview for a job that you have applied for then you want to make sure that you give yourself the best opportunity to be offered the role. Even if the job states that full training will be giving and no experience is necessary, it is still worth while doing a bit of your own research. If the company has a website, have a good look through it and find out exactly what it is they sell or that they do. Try to look in to a few products and familiarise yourself with members of staff that may be shown on a meet the tem page. This will also help your nerves on the day, if you are able to put faces to names.

Sometime you will be asked questions about the business in the interview and even though they may not expect you to know the answer, it always looks good if you can give them the correct one or at least show that you have tried to find out more about what they offer.
