Think you want to be a lawyer???

10. April 2014 TipTopJob Jobseeker (0)

If you are struggling to work out whether you want to be a lawyer or not and you want to investigate what the role involves, what training is required, what the entry requirements are and skills needed then check out this useful job profile we have put together for you…

“The lawyers’ role varies depending on the actual job. It is a myth to think that it involves being in a courtroom all day long defending or prosecuting.

A lawyer will act on its clients’ best interest advising them what their legal situation is throughout a case. Your actual role will depend on who you are working for and if you specialise in a particular area. Lawyers may work on civil or criminal lawsuits as well as other legal proceedings.”

The Job I Was Hired For Is Not What Was Advertised

18. March 2014 TipTopJob Jobseeker (0)
More commonly people are finding that they are being hired only to start the job and find that their roles and responsibilities are different to what they expected. It usually ends up in the newly hired employee wanting to leave and start the job hunt all over again rather than face up to the issue. Being caught up in such a difficult situation is not easy even if it was an accident on the company’s part or a deliberate change.

So, if you are faced with such a crisis, what should you do? The worst thing is to walk out. Communication here is key, even if you are going to find it so hard to confront you manager or boss.

Plans to tackle youth unemployment

27. February 2014 TipTopJob Client/Recruiters, Jobseeker, News/Updates (0)
So, Nick Clegg has come out today unveiling plans to tackle youth unemployment after the Office for National Statistics (ONS) revealed that the UK's youth unemployment rate dipped to 19.9% in the three months to December 2013. Finally something is going to be done that really could help youngsters steer their career. University is not always the best choice for everyone so this is really going to help those who are unsure what they want to do from that early age.

As part of the move, Jobcentres will offer job hunting advice to 16-17 year olds and they are going to aim to improve careers advice within schools. The idea is for youngsters to spend time in local companies to get experience and decide whether that will be the job for them.

We fully support the plans and hope they are implemented quickly to help the young. It is so difficult
deciding what career to take that any help will be welcome.

What do you think about the plans?

In our bid to expand worldwide and obtain local presence in each Country, we have launched a new Affiliate Program to find businesses and individuals to sell TipTopJob services in their chosen area.

We are looking for Affiliates or Joint Sales Partners depending on the type of business they are.

The Affiliate would be allocated a specific area/territory/country.

It is a simple way to earn extra revenue for a business as it is a simple add-on to what they would already be doing. The ideal business would be another job board, recruitment business or publisher that already have a sales team but this is not limited. Affiliates can earn up to 60% of everything sold.

The Affiliate would be allocated a defined Area which could be a Territory/Region/Country which would be discussed and pre-agreed.

We have set up a website dedicated to our Affiliate Program which can be found here: www.tiptopjob.biz.

62% of the reserved UK workforce say they wont be sending a co-worker a Valentines Day card on Friday

10. February 2014 TipTopJob Jobseeker, Survey results (0)
62% of the reserved UK workforce say they wont be sending a co-worker a Valentines Day card on Friday. 

Over the last 2 weeks, we surveyed around 500 people to ask them if they were going to send a Valentines Day card or present to a co-worker or boss. There always seems to be some “fancying” going on in the office so we wanted to know if people take it to the next step and show their love openly or secretly to that special person. This survey suggests most people don't!

38% however say that they would send a card or present which is still quite a healthy proportion of people. Watch out on Friday as you could be that special person!!!!!

Thoughts on the Bulgarian and Romanian changes....

22. January 2014 TipTopJob Client/Recruiters, Jobseeker, Survey results (0)
After the recent changes to allow Bulgarians and Romanians the right to work freely across the EU, we asked our users the question "How will allowing Bulgarian and Romanian immigrants to work anywhere in the EU impact other European workers’ abilities to find a new job?".

The results have just come in and 50% of our users feel there will be a positive impact on other European workers abilities to find a new job. 29% believe that it would create no change and 21% felt there would be a negative impact.

Studies have predicted that it could mean a shift in labour wages for lower paid workers which would mean a negative impact to those in lower paid jobs. All predictions/suggestions are speculation though and it is difficult to know exactly what affects there will be until it happens.

How do you think these changes will affect jobseekers? Let us know your thoughts....
