SEO, Traffic and Money

Recently, as part of the Search Engine Optimization (SEO) experiment (inspired by the SEO experiments of the great SEO Teacher over at Mapiles.com), I experienced what big time bloggers and webmasters probably experienced on their blogs and websites when they regularly get high volume of traffic.

The Nursing Board Exam 2008 Results posted on Bloggista.org (my new blog site where I intend to blog about the buzz in blogosphere including current events, news - anything that a passionate blogger, or a bloggista finds interesting) generated more than 50,000 page views within the first 24-hours, and reached my personal milestone of 100,000 page views in less than a week.

I got to admit, I am still a newbie on blogging and driving traffic. I’m still learning how to write good articles - and drive regular traffic to my sites. And experiencing such traffic which is normal or even less for some was already awesome. That was more than 6 months worth of page views I got for Bloggista.com and was just achieved by Bloggista.org in just one day! Fairly unfair wasn’t it?

Looking for a Job? Check out Call Center Confab and Expo 2008

If you are currently unemployed, and making money from other sources isn’t giving you enough, you may consider looking for some employment instead in the Contact/Call Center industry. The good thing about this sector of the Outsourcing industry is that it remains stable and still giving many Filipinos a choice to earning money.

One best way to get a Call Center job is to visit Job Fairs and Expo that are organized by the prospective employers themselves. From July 23-24, 2008, the Contact Center Association of the Philippines, or CCAP, is holding its Annual Call Center Conference and Expo at the SMX, Mall of Asia in Pasay City, Metro Manila.

Better check it out, and make sure to bring your latest CV/Resume. You may also be interviewed ON-SITE, as told by the CCAP organizers during this morning’s Umagang Kay Ganda TV program on ABS-CBN. So be ready for a job interview as well.

Need A Job? Write A Good Resume

Resume Writing Tips Following the Cashflow Quadrant, most of us are in the upper left corner - Employed. This is the easiest way to earn money - though, the least way to make more money. However, getting employment these days also proved to be challenging. Finishing a college degree these days doesn’t guarantee employment - more and more graduates (especially in the Philippines) end up unemployed each year.

With so many people looking for work as against available suitable jobs - one has to excel in all aspects of job-hunting requirements, and that include a good knowledge on how to write a good resume.

So, if you are looking for a job - make sure you write a good resume. Here are some Tips in Writing a Good Resume.

1. Understand what is a “resume”.

A Resume is a self-promotional document that presents you in the best possible light, for the purpose of getting invited to a job interview. It’s not an official personnel document. It’s not a job application. It’s not a “career obituary”! And it’s not a confessional.

2. What should the resume content be about?

It’s not just about past jobs! It’s about YOU, and how you performed and what you accomplished in those past jobs - especially those accomplishments that are most relevant to the work you want to do next. A good resume predicts how you might perform in that desired future job.

3. What’s the fastest way to improve a resume?

Remove everything that starts with “responsibilities included” and replace it with on-the-job accomplishments.
