The Path to Employment: Searching for Medical Jobs Online

I have been thinking of shifting from pursuing hospitality jobs to a field more related to my degree–the medical industry. You see,  I have been working as supervisor for a hotel and yet I know I need to work on the medical field because I know it is my calling. My friend discussed some points in this big step and she advised me about my search for employment. Here it is:

The internet has radically evolved how we search for medical jobs. Instead of relying on one primary resource (a classified listing of hospital jobs or assistant jobs), we now have a huge amount of career information to work from. There are numerous web 2.0 tools for job searching but it’s not always clear how to make the most of them. One thing is certain; it’s not in your best interest to limit your search to a single website. No matter how good the site may be, it won’t provide you with all the information needed to make a job change.

A common path has emerged; tread often by people looking for work online. It involves three different approaches to an online job search: doing some broad research, checking health care job search engines and targeting people and companies on social networking sites. This broad to narrow method makes the best use of all the available online job resources.

The first step is to research broad topics in your career area of interest. Are you looking for jobs in a specific field, such as nursing jobs? Spend time gathering news and information on the latest trends for nursing positions. Check out lists of best employers to work for or award winning companies. Find salary data, educational requirements and job descriptions of nursing jobs from websites. Are you interested in a particular company? Review company websites to find out their mission and read their news feeds. Include professional association and colligate websites in your search, especially those that have forums or blogs. Are you willing to make a move? Research the cost of living for a move across the country and check school rankings or the average temperature in winter. Look at all relevant sites that will help you make an informed decision about your career goals.

Next, spend time with job search engines and find out what medical jobs are available right now. At this point in the game, you should have specific health jobs in mind. Job search engines are driven by keyword searches and help you find jobs quickly and easily. “Hospital jobs”, “assistant jobs” and “pharmacy jobs” are popular keyword searches. The more specific your search, the more relevant jobs you will find. Health care jobs can be searched by job title, company name, or location. Some job search engines allow you to look up all types of jobs and submit your resume online. Vertical search engines focus only on one category of jobs, such as all health care jobs, executive level jobs, or minimum wage jobs. Job listings can include jobs posted by employers from job boards or those pulled off employer websites by aggregators. Job search engines are the fastest way to find real job openings.

Finally, the fastest growing online resources are social networking sites. Once you’ve targeted specific health jobs, look up companies and their employees to prepare yourself for interviews. Connect with colleagues and recruiters by networking online. Be sure to create a professional profile as employers are also checking social networking sites for prospective employees. Talk directly to hiring managers and find out what type of candidate is preferred. Make a video in addition to your CV or resume and post it for potential employers. Social networking sites provide access to more personal and direct information giving you much greater power over your job search.

When I went to see Dali

“Take a trip to Girona and Figueres before heading back home.”  It was a decision I would never regret.

 

Figueres is a small town in the province of Girona in the Catalonian region of Spain, around 140 km from Barcelona. It would take around two and a half hours to Figueres and Girona via a luxurious bus ride from central Barcelona.

The highlight of a trip to Figueres is a visit to the Dali Theatre and Museum (Teatro Museo Dali), the museum of Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dalí (more popularly known as Salvador Dali). Acknowledged as the modern-day symbol of surrealism and one of the most important artists of his time, he was born in Figueres in 1904.  The trip we had was made possible by a friend who lease a Juke while we were there so the trip was really smooth.

The museum opened in September 1974 and kept expanding until the mid 1980s, with Dali himself supervising additions to the complex. This popular Figueres landmark is an intoxicating brew that is bound to create a heady mix of eerie fun and euphoria, absurdity and artistry, symbolism and mysticism – in all its floors and sections. With rooms numbered 1-35, the structure displays the single largest and most diverse collection of works by Dali – his paintings, sculptures, installations, three-dimensional collages, mechanical constructions, jewellery and photographs, among others. The museum also houses the crypt which contains Dali’s remains.

Dali sufficiently entices everyone starting from the exterior of the museum – all the way to its most innermost corner or most secluded wall. The exterior alone serves as a very appropriate introduction to Dali’s universe  – as it sufficiently provokes questions and triggers instant discussions. “What are those? What do they mean?” – are commonplace remarks that visitors blurt out when walking to the Museum from the nearby parking lot.

The instant ‘noise’ that surfaces as one stands several meters away from a stoplight to cross the pedestrian lane to the museum is, quite frankly, understandable.  The façade is an interplay of giant eggs, bread and human statues.  Lined up as humongous oval structures on its roof, the eggs signify the birth or origin of ideas. The entire facade is dotted with bread-like ceramics works which adorn all sides of the museum. One will never miss the glass dome cupola as it conspicuously juts out above the entire structure. Completing the visual spectacle are statuette-like human-sized figures  that adorn the upper portion of the structure.

 

Visited by more than 4, 000 visitors everyday, the Museum is a testament to the genius and the artistry of Figueres’ most iconic son. Quite a prodigious artist,  Dali never stayed in painting alone as he comfortably dabbled in sculpture, theatre, film, fashion and photography.

The indoor spectacle starts at the entrance where one is immediately led to the courtyard. At the center, the courtyard displays an installation inside a full-sized automobile inspired by the movie Rainy Taxi (1938), which Dali himself conceptualized and supervised in his final years.

 

Picture a dizzying and awe-inspiring interplay of several elements from his life – his allegorical representations, religious allusions, sexual undertones – as Dali  blends the real and surreal, the boring usual and the extremely bizarre. The several square meters spanning the courtyard alone is an opiate to the senses. It demands visual appreciation along with the vital need to suspend disbelief and allow the master to play his artistic symphony to the cadence and  rhythm of his life.

The central part of the museum is actually the town theatre of Figueres which Dali knew as a child – where one of his first public art exhibitions  as an emerging young artist was shown. It was burned during the Spanish Civil War and remained in a state of ruin until 1960, when Dali and the mayor of Figueres decided to rebuild it as a museum to house the collections of its most famous son.

Digital Services Business

 

A digital service business is one of the ventures that is highly needed nowadays. It can be an online shop business, a digital marketing agency, freelance works. Online services, and many more. With the advent of social media and other digital platforms in on the internet today, it is not surprising that more and more people venture in online business like never before.

But before anything else, before jumping into that big decision if you want to pursue the same pathway of business, you must know yhw basics of having a digital business. First is you need to have an office. A physical or even a rekore one. You need to have a base camp.

And with thay base camp comes the tools needed. Basic and strong wifi signal (I highly recommend you have a wlan access point test first), office supplies, and your team. After that, plan your business structure, delegate task, manage your operrations and find sales. After which, you need to take targets and deliver them while you market your product.

Sailing and traveling

 

I love sailing!  Before creating your sailing itinerary, be mindful of what’s waiting for you out there. Well, it’s not actually always winter, but since it is naturally covered with ice even in summer, you should set the right schedule of your trip. Of course, Antarctica in winter is much more freezing and lacking in sunlight, so it is important that you ought for the summer of the southern hemisphere—as they stated, “It’s impossible to go outside of that season.” Voyaging through tranquil and fury seas circling the Antarctica continent, an expedition ship is a must for a more intimate travel experience.

Additionally, it lifts the hassle of accommodation and secures your welfare with its facilities that provide comfort and entertainment. “Part of the excitement of traveling to Antarctica is the clear sense that you are stepping into somewhere you were never supposed to be. The environment is extremely inhospitable to humans and the extremes of temperature and the terrain could find any number of ways to hurt you. Having said that, by taking an expedition cruise, rather than any normal ‘pleasure cruise,’ you are placing yourself in the hands of experts who take care of everything and ensure your safety at all times,“ they explained. They said that before doing this, one must be prepared. For instance, they have invested in different cameras catering to their needs. They love how they always have test shots of their cameras. Like the one they bought currently. Mike just had a dashcam test shot for his new gear which he will put front of his steering wheel in his sailboat. He underscored that most people have an inner wanderlust hidden under the pile of paper on their office desk, the bills and expenses waiting in their mailbox, and the anxiety of risking the lives they have grown used to. The idea of traveling around the world is beautiful and enticing yet scary. But, countless travel bloggers have proven its possibility.

The Howes claimed that in order to live a nomadic life, you need to find some ways to sustain yourself in the long run, and begging other people for donations isn’t a great option but, rather, you have to build a good strategy.

“The best advice we can offer is to learn as many useful skills as possible and to think about what kind of skills might be useful to other people. That way, you always have something useful to offer, either in exchange for money, for accommodation, or to teach to others. As you learn more skills, you will start to develop ideas which at some stage could turn into the calling which allows you to lead a truly sustainable nomadic lifestyle,” the duo advised.

If you’re not ready for such lifestyle yet, you can always just go visit places like Antarctica, and well, you might be surprised to realize that traveling isn’t as fearful as it seems to be.

 

Wannabe Supermodel

I love doing photoshoots. I am a model for almost three years now. Since I graduated from college with a degree in Fashion and Styling, I have always been in love being in front of the camera. I love doing pose, and making a character out of what is required. I have worked with a number of photographers already and I know what they like for a model and what is not. I am just so happy t have worked with many photographers because I learned a lot from them. Most especially Micha, a photographer whom I consider now as friend. She always supports me and makes me feel confidence about myself. The first time we worked together, we doing some fun beach photoshoots and she was using a 360 grad kamera  which is the best 360 camera ever.

It turned so great that my first portrait I hanged it in my room for my daily dose of inspiration. It also paved the way for me to land print magazine jobs and other gigs and I am very thankful of her and the opportunity she gave me. Right now, I am currently working on a coffee table book about a certain hotel and I am happy they got me as their model. I will add this to my growing works and I can’t wait to unleash other opportunities to come my way. Good vibes everyone!

In love with vitamin c

I am in love with my new Vitamin c serum for face. There are very few things that have had this much impact on my development as a human, especially excited and now an adult and I’m sort of through most of the major developments in my physical appearance, and now I feel like I’ve just turned into a butterfly after being in some kind of cocoon for so long, self-imposed maybe, but I did feel so self-conscious but the previous date of my skin that I never felt like I was able to just liberally be myself. So, what else can it be said about something that has had such a positive impact on somebody? There’s seriously nothing negative I can say about this, and I’ve recommended it to a lot of friends. I’m not the kind of person who recommend something that they only feel okay about. When it comes to something like this, I will only ever say something to someone if I’m totally certain that it’s going to be a positive imitation because I don’t want to risk my reputation and I also don’t want to give people false hope about time in time in time in time in time in time and time again, you know what I mean, you know, I didn’t know what to do about it…. People just keep telling me things like oh this one will definitely work for you, or no this one is definitely the one, or wow you have this problem I can tell you that this is for sure the product to help. I used so many of these different products and took so many people’s word, and I was always his perfect really disappointed by it. But now that I have found this, I don’t know if there’s ever something that has been so impactful and meaningful for me.

Looking for a self storage company

I have important things I want to be kept safely and should be far from my house. I am so anxious of my important things, especially when I am going abroad and no one will be left at home. I have some stack of important documents as well as some materials I need to be stored in a cheap self storage space before I go to Argentina for a business trip.

I will be away for about two months where I will incorporate work and play and honestly, I cannot. trust my house to be that alone. I am hiring a house sitter but I think my important files should be kept in a self storage company so that I will be in peace to know that my things are safe even when I am away. I have already asked how much the cost would be and I think the self storage company gave me a very reasonable and quality price. I am excited for my Argentina trio and I know the company will help me in easing all my worries in life while I am away.

A Trip to Asia

I am planning to a trip to Asia to visit my cousins next month. I have actually booked one way ticket and I will be going to Laos to visit my cousin Fienda who relocated there as she was teaching yoga in an academy. After which, I plan to go backpacking in Malaysia and in the Philippines and probably do some island hopping there. I am now packing for my trip ( I know it’s quite early) but i am a little excited. It has been three years since I left the country and I know it will be a little difficult of an adjusted. Anyway, I am currently looking up for some travel gear I need to add on my luggage.

My sister recommended i should by Zegarki wooden watches for my travels all because it is stylish. I know right! I bought one before and it really fitted my outfits. I know it will fit my dresses when i am in an island or when I am in the city of a new town while I do some tours. I am also finding out some accessories online like a neck pillow and some packing cubes to fit in my clothes. I will be bringing a few dresses with me, two shoes—one rubber shoes and one slippers, and then I will also buy a cute hand luggage and a backpack. I am really excited in doing this and I have not seen my cousins for ages. We grew up together in Vancouver and I know we have a lot of things to catch up because so many things had gone through our lives since they moved out six years ago. I am definitely excited! I will update you more once I get there!
