Game Tester
If you think an office job is something you are not interested in, then it’s your right to refuse to get into it. If you still will have a successful career, depends on whether you’ve got another passion besides not sitting in an office from 9 to 5 all year. One of the most interesting “new” job careers are beta tester for games. I am sure many in college or high-school dream of going down that path. But it’s not as easy as it used to be and salaries are not that great either: $1500= $3000/month is

Happy New Year And Moving To Wilmington
So 2011 finally arrived and me and the family made the decision to move to North Carolina. We are not fans of the UK or the East Coast anymore, so North Carolina will be it. We’ve been debating for quite a while and at the end we’ve decided to make the move, b/c of the job situation, the weather and the school system. We weren’t sure which city to pick, but my wife got an offer at the Gem Studios, so it was pretty much a no brainer for us to decide that Wilmington will be it..

So…this week I had an issue in my house and needed to replace a circuit breaker. To be exact…I need once of those square d circuit breakers. Well said, but how the hell do I do that. So I look at one of those DIY sites….well…looked and then tried to do it: 1. Taking panel cover off – done 2. Remember the two wires feeding into the side of the breaker – done 3. Loosen the screw holding the white wire – done 4. Put a wire nut on the white wire – done 5. Do the

Jobs in German Speaking Countries
After a friend told me that he’ll be moving to Frankfurt I had a closer look at the job market in Europe. Germany apparently is currently with an unemployment rate below 3 million people on a record low for this year. Medium-sized companies are pushing the industry forward and the big car manufacturerer and other mechanical engineering shops are desperately looking for talent. With the changing age structure of Germany (not enough newborns) it’s getting more and more difficult to find young talent. The baby boomer years are apparently over and salaries skyrocket. In Vienna, Austria the

Looking for the best computer technicians in XY
Pulling off weird job descriptions is something I never understood, but it seems to work great. People tend to believe fake job ads quite more than simple advertising. It’s not rare that companies search for the best plumbers or the best computer technicians in Atlanta and applicants just apply without doing any resarch. Advertisers understood that and in the old days used printed ads job listings to get cheaper and better performing ads. Anyways…my favorite job description is by far this one: “Make sure nothing ever happens: IT Security” This probably applies also to a ton of

Jobs For Fitness Addicts
I am always stunned of what a variety of jobs exist….and never sure why so many people still have a hard time finding a job. I know that the economy is still down, but even if I am a Fitness buff, who likes the gym, tanning and so on… I still can find a job in the Fitness industry. The home fitness industry seems to be resistant to a declining econonomy. More than ever people order Fitness Equipment online or just head in the gym. Smoothfitness for examle is looking for Technicians, who can troubleshoot electro mechanical

Be an artist not a talker
Interesting book from marketing Legend Seth Godin: Linchpin: Are you indispensable?As far as I’ve read the reviews, the book basically tells employees to stop expecting and instead being an artist of what they are doing. Even if it is the waitress in a coffee shop. Everybody should be an artist of what they are doing. I cannot wait to get my hands on the book. Should be a great read
