The ten Commandments Of Part-Time

  1.  Accepted different work 
If you work part time to meet different companies, it might be a good idea to be flexible as a person to services that you have . Never refuse a new job unless you are really convinced that what were asking can harm you. 

     2. Always present the reasons which led him to look for a part-time 

If you work only for sport and only need that money for their extra until you can afford to work only two or three days a week. But if you work because you have
accounts to pay, it may be better to rearrange their lives to take enough time to work to win the money you need. 


     3. Go beyond their duty 

In the workplace try to do more than it required. Be competent and professional is sufficient to repair in you, but if moreover that you show enthusiasm and love for what does and does not mind to do more than ask, you will quickly gain the respect and admiration of all the people who work with you. 


     4. Be versatile 

Try to meet the largest number of people and departments as possible. It is the best way for you to understand everything that is happening in the company and to be always alert to new opportunities. 


     5.  Look for extra work 

When you do not have anything to look whether there is anything you can get help. Especially if he brings extra knowledge or the opportunity to participate in a major project. 


     6. Promote their capabilities 

Never forget that self-promotion is your best marketing. 


      7. When you do not know, ask 

It is better to ask the same things very times, if not understand, what do you mess up on something that your boss thought you had do well. 


      8.  Always have a resume at hand 

You never know when a new opportunity may arise, so prevention is better than cure! You always have your updated resume on hand for any eventuality.


       9. Response at the tip of the tongue 

The more certain it is a day someone asks "But ultimately, what kind of work do you want?". Be fast and aim to respond to the person quickly understands what you want and see where can you be useful to the company. 


      10. Positive thinking 

It is not always easy to have a positive spirit for a job part time. But do not despair. Consider this work as a step to a jump higher for the job that you always dreamed. 

The Curriculum Vitea

The Curriculum Vitae (CV), also known by only curriculum is a document where you put personal data, a description of academic training and experience most relevant as well as the extra-professional activities of the candidates (Hobie, sports, personal tastes , etc.).. It is normally used as a means of presentation and application for employment. 

The CV is usually the first element that an employer has on a candidate. From the CV that the employer get a first image of the candidate, allowing attract the interest of wanting to meet you, giving you the opportunity to have an interview. 

A well developed curriculum allows the candidate to give a good impression on it, should be well written, have a thorough presentation and describe briefly but objectively the qualifications and professional experience of the candidate.

Youtube's presence in the new era of entertainment

Youtube is one of the most popular sites on the Web, and even though it started out as a simple video uploading web address, it is now something which gives income to many and provides future jobs to even more.

Many are the vloggers (new word born out of the words “video” and “blogger”) who started out uploading videos for fun and now earned a legion of fans, and sometimes some even get paid to upload videos.

This is the case of youtube user Phillip DeFranco (going by the username sxephil); he now has his own show online which he uses to earn enough money to pay for his dad’s kidney disease (which he inherited).

He first started out doing this for fun, and once he was offered being paid to do his show, he started to gather money so he could afford medical school, which he had recently dropped out of.

Mixing light comedy, pop culture criticising and political and social reprisal, he makes fun of the world at the same time and of the news, which, due to his shows un-established air date, he often publicises before actual news shows.

Though language is present (mostly for comedic purposes), his new age way of thinking shares the same views as today’s educated youth.

Feelancing

What really is working freelance?

A freelancer is, basically, someone who works for himself, having no boss, and more often than not, having no employees.

Freelancing is not restricted to one job, but to hundreds of jobs.
Thanks to new improvements in communication and data filing technology, virtually every non industrial job is available freelance.

Even the most common problems a freelance used to have are now solved, such as health insurance and office managing.

And now, in the midst of an economical crisis most dramatic to the big companies, freelancing alone is looking more and more appealing to many.

The hardest thing in freelancing is getting started, because the financial investment needed to get your business going is certainly the hardest one you can make.
But, if you work hard enough and put your mind to the test, not putting aside a little help from Lady Luck, you are sure to get your money back with interests!

The Theatre

The seventh art, as it is so often called, is both a wonder and a curse. While providing us with many hours of entertainment which shows us things as unrealistic and wonderful as the fantasy movies of magic and dragons, driving us into the future to watch intergalactic face offs of spaceships and shiny lasers, or depressing us with slices of life capable of bringing tears to the toughest of men.

While all of these are truly things that once we see we will never be able to live without (though sometimes making us endure painfully bad movies which kindle a desire to murder, or at least torture, he who ever thought this was worth being made a movie), they take us away from a thousand year old art which truly deserves more attention from the people.

I am off course talking about the theatre.

Ever since ancient Greece have actors stepped into a stage solely to entertain and bring a smile, or a frown, to the spectators’ faces.

Now we have to wonder; with all of these spectacular explosions and remarkable CGI, has the theatre, after surviving for thousands of years, become a dying art?

Professional Gambling

The new world of income earning strays farther and farther from the past’s get rich or die trying methods. While gambling still existed in the past, there was absolutely no way for someone to get rich as easily 100 hundred years ago as it is for someone today, just needing to go to Vegas, even if holding no more than five dollars in his pocket.

What was for just a hobby, or even and addiction in the past can actually be a legalized profession today.

That’s right, you really can legally win your income by just playing a bunch of cards, dice, or some other fortune based game.

And it is actually a job that is quickly spreading all over the world.
While Las Vegas still continues to be the Mecca for all gamblers, their games take place all over the world, and even online.

As out of this world as it may seem, online gambling is also legally accepted as a way to earn income and pay your taxes in most of the developed countries. In fact, most, if not all of the newer and most successful gamblers had their first steps in this career online.
As a result, legalized online gambling is as important, or maybe more important, than real life legalized gambling.

Although one can still gamble without being a professional (solely keeping the rank of amateur), many are those who start it as a hobby or as a last resort to earn some money (which is definitely not advised, as it more often than not results in more debts and addiction) and end up going professional.
