Employment (Find Jobs)

I love this proverb: “Give a man a fish and he won’t starve for a day. Teach a man how to fish and he won’t starve for his entire life.” (author unknown)

John 15:7 (ESV)If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

Philippians 4:19 (ESV) And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.Today as we embark on this 39th day of Lenten Season… Today we are praying for and making our topic of focus: Employment (Find Jobs)…  In today’s economy, we know that finding a real job is a job by itself, unless you have some type of inside hook up that can help you get your foot in the door.. It’s just the way it is.. .It’s no longer what you know in some cases, unless you have a specialty profession such a Physician, Lawyer, Clergy, Real Estate, Loans, etc.,  or a specialty skilled worker such as a x-ray or ultrasound technician, teacher, etc..  Even then,  the market is still tough to get into some of these major corporations that offer full scale packages with benefits…. You can go to school for umpteen years and still have to wait in line just like the next man who has over 20+ years of experience on job and in employment.. It’s hard for the veterans, and laymen as myself with ample amount of experience with the economy alone..

Nevertheless, don’t freight because no matter what, God has got your back and as long as you are trusting him for Employment as you seek for a job, he will supply all of your needs according to his riches in glory if we just learn how to ask…  The bible says, we have NOT because we ask NOT!   Ask, and it shall be given, seek and ye shall find, knock and the door of employment will come open…   If you sit around and throw yourself a self pity party, you will never find a job or be employed in this economy where even the minimum wage job is starting to look appealing…   Matter of fact, some minimum wage jobs and entry level position at places such as In and Out Burger and Costco are starting entry level employees out with a minimum of $10.00  an hour which is at least above average that you can keep a roof over your head somewhere and food to eat….  It’s really all about dropping the pride and going into survival mode for you and or your family….

I tell my clients all the time,   write down all of your skills to know what you can do….  Just because your tittle says one thing, the job itself that you have done in the past consist of many modalities which you can pull  out individual skills and transpose the skills you have and transfer them to another whole profession completely… It’s called  transposing  your skills to fit into a whole other class of jobs…

Also, don’t sit around and do nothing….  Volunteer at one of your local charities such as United Way, Red Cross, any local hospital or places that accept volunteers…  Your kids school need volunteers all the time to come in and help…  You never know, your skills and work you give away for free  just could open a door for employment as well…

Also, I am  a firm believer in Entrepreneurship… Create a job that don’t exist yourself… You can, and you are capable of owning your own business…. If you can’t get a job be creative with your God given talents and find a ways to put  what  you have to offer on the market…  As for me, I’ve always  done private consultant work behind the scenes as a clerical worker… I’ve done anything from helping individuals start their own business,  build their own website and show them how to maintain it, and taking them through each step to do it… Also, transcribing independently for private practices.   Also partnering with companies like Amway, Avon, Tupperware, Cookie Lee jewelry, and many more companies I can name that will give you the opportunity to own your own share selling their products, or you can branch out on your own like I do and create your own information you can sell and make a living do so.. People need information all the time… Write a book in your area of expertise and contribute what you know to this world…  You never know, it just might turn up on the New York best sellers list..

I wish I had time in this piece to tell my oldest son story on how he became a multimillionaire off  what he loved so dearly and became so passionate about…  It’s the gifts that God give us are the one’s we can share with the world best… The very thing you enjoy doing the most is the very thing you can try and create as a job and offer your services to the world via www.beyourself.com or org. , etc.. All I’m saying is come out of the box when you think of Employment and finding a job….  Maybe a job will find you once people know what you do, then you become in demand…. I do believe that I am in demand, and some great company is looking at me as we speak and write this piece..  I too desire better employment and want  to be on top of the world too as I raise a 9-year-old alone as a single parent… It becomes hard at times because of circumstances that he may encounter, and yet I’ve found it really hard to hold down a full time job outside of the home since he has been born… Don’t get me wrong, I have not missed a beat since I’ve had him, but the game is a little more challenging when you can receive a call at the drop of the hat that  you are needed in your childs life in the middle of the day… I’ve found working from home is more flexible for me, but gets a little boring at times being that I’ve worked outside of the home when I raised my first family over 29 years ago…    It’s all good and as long as you are trying and doing something, at least submitting applications and up to date resume’s and going to job fairs… Also networking is good too, because like I said in the beginning of this piece, it not what you know these days…. It’s really about who you know, and I’m going to leave you with this… As long as you know that God is the creator of all things and you continue to put your love and trust in him, he shall and he will provide all of your needs and yes Employment and finding a job fall in the category of all of your needs!!!

Be blessed and pray blessings right now over each or your lives that are reading this blog and are seeking employment and need to find a job… I pray right now that A door be open that no man can shut, and your every need is met in the mighty name of Jesus we pray… Amen!

Government Jobs

 

Man in Suit Looking for a Government JobFinding a job with the Federal Government is the ideal employment scenario for millions of individuals. There is approximately 1.7 to 2 million people employed by the Federal Government with an estimated 400 different occupational specialties in the government workforce. Furthermore, these government jobs are located across the country and, indeed, throughout the world in various capacities. For instance, only an estimated 10 percent of government employees actually work within Washington D.C. proper while government employees can be found across the globe.

Government jobs are all arranged according to a standardized scale. This standardized scale is known as the GS code or the General Schedule which runs on a continuum from GS 1 to GS 15 with the higher number being indicative of higher salary and more authority. In searching for a job with the Federal Government identifying the specific job title for the type of position that you are searching for is critical. In order to locate a potential job opening in marketing for instance, marketing is not the job title but rather Market Analyst would be. So you must first identify the specific job titles that are of interest to you in your job search with the Federal Government.

The Federal Government is almost always hiring. Certainly the macroeconomic environment can affect how many positions are available but the sheer size of the Federal Government ensures that positions are opening all the time. As recently as 2004, U.S. Government Agencies such as the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs employed in excess of 232 thousand people while the U.S. Department of Homeland Security employed an estimated 160 thousand individuals. Smaller government departments such as the U.S. Department of Education and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission employed around 4,500 and 3,500 people respectively. Thus, there are myriad choices for people that want to find federal jobs with the Government.

But where does one start looking? There are literally hundreds of websites and employment databases that facilitate a Federal Government related job search. One of the first places you should explore is the U.S. Office of Personnel Management which can be found at www.opm.gov. This is the gateway website for federal service and hosts a huge amount of reference material for potential job applicants. Another important website in the job search with the Federal Government is the www.usajobs.gov website in which you can search federal jobs by keyword as well as by location. However, there are in excess of 100 Federal Agencies in the Federal Government and each one handles its own recruitment, screening and hiring processes. Furthermore, an estimated 39 percent of all federal jobs are in the Southeast region of the U.S. so a willingness to relocate may also help.
