TESDA to Offer Technical Vocational Training Online

TESDA will soon offer Technical Vocational Training using the Internet. This move could be useful to Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) who want to improve their existing skills or acquire a new one.

Using the Internet OFWs will have access to online videos, electronic references, and online conferences with teachers.

It is good to know that the government is finally making moves to make education available nationwide and to anywhere in the world.

DFA recommends the public to file their application atleast twelve weeks before their intended travel date.

The Importance of Positive Attitude to Job Seekers

It is important for job seekers and employees to have a positive attitude. Particularly, you must be confident, you must be a self starter, and you must be a person who regularly takes initiative.

Whenever employers think of hiring, it is always to solve existing problems in their company. Often they add people so that someone can do the tasks that existing staff are not able to do because they lack the time.

We employees maybe thinking of a paycheck and providing for our families but always remember that employer always hire to solve a problem.

That is why it is important to have a positive attitude. Nobody wants to have an employee who becomes a burden – those who takes up more of the boss’s time (or other employee’s time) more than they are able to free up in order for the boss to do more important tasks.

Between two job seekers with equal years of experience or someone with even more experience and the person with the positive attitude, the person with the positive attitude always wins the job.

And you can usually sense a person’s attitude during the series of interviews.

If you are not yet this kind of person, try to develop yourself into one.

These three traits can also help you to quickly get promoted.

Blogging to Increase Your Employment Chances

Employers are always looking for opportunities to get to know a potential employee. If you have a friend that already works for the company that you are targeting, you have an advantage. Your chances of employment are improved because your friend can personally attest how you are as a person and a worker. And employers generally trust recommendations made by their own people.

But if you do not have this advantage, you can do the next best thing. That is keeping your own blog. In the past, I have kept a technical journal where I shared tips on how people can solve common computer problems. To my surprise, I received several inquires asking if I will be available as a resource speaker.

I turned down these request because I was already busy with several projects. But this example shows that you can demonstrate your expertise through a blog. And people can sense if they will be able to trust you through the things you write in your blog.

If you are an automotive technician, you can share your expertise through a blog. If you are an artist, you can post sample images of your art.

A blog can be a great marketing tool. I recommend that you always include the address of your blog when passing your resume.

The following are free websites where you can start blogging:
