This article will consider the question about the essential ideas of the market participants and their theory of the trading. Market ideologies are essentially beliefs about how we should measure the value of capital. They help traders to determine the relative worthiness of different stocks. They define certain factors as more important than others to consider when figuring out which stocks to buy and which to sell, in what amounts, and at what price. And they provide a theory to exp Thousands of university and T.A.F.E. graduates will be flooding the job market up to and following the festive season. The really switched on graduates will have started their recruiter research and job search back in first semester. But for those who have waited till the exams, assignments and celebrations are over, here are some tips for your first professional job search:
-
Research – Get to know your chosen industry through company web sites, annual reports and other publications to gain a solid background knowledge and understand the skills and qualities valued in your industry. Make a short list of the skills and qualities necessary for the industry to include in your r?sum?.
-
R?sum? – Firstly, never, ever, lie. There is a difference between embellishment and flat out fabrication. It’s only natural that job-seekers want to market themselves in the best possible light. But lying is a waste of time and can cause unnecessary heartache and embarrassment. Secondly, keep it short, sweet and simple. The r?sum? should be no longer than five pages; your most recent and relevant skills should be near the start; and utilise dot points instead of verbose sentences. Unless you’re entering a creative industry, colour and creativity are not appropriate. Use a standard font like Arial or Times New Roman in black. A photo is optional.
-
Cover Letter – If you’re answering a job advertisement, read it carefully and pick out the main features the employer is looking for. Identify your skill base according to the categories. If the advertisement asks you to address selection criteria then make sure you do it. Tell the employer your skills and how/where you acquired them and provide a list of achievements to date whether it’s from a part-time or casual job or even a sporting team.
-
Networking – In order to maintain a competitive edge, it’s important to establish a professional network which mainly comes in handy for accessing the hidden job market. Identify a handful of companies that you might like to work for, contact them and arrange an appointment for ‘a chat’ with a potential manager. Even if there is no position on offer, this is your chance to sell yourself to a potential employer and find out more about working at a particular company. If a position does come up, you will be well ahead of the pack. Take advantage of other networking opportunities like attending Alumni events and joining your industry’s peak organisation. Let family, friends and acquaintances know that you’re looking for a job so they can tell you if they hear of any job vacancies.
-
Prepare, prepare, prepare! There is nothing more embarrassing than a job candidate bumbling through answer after answer in a job interview. More importantly, the employer will think the candidate lacks interest in the position or does not value preparation as a general rule. Ask a friend or family member to participate in a mock interview but make sure it’s someone who will take it seriously and provide constructive feedback. Prepare a list of questions to ask the interviewer – this will show how interested you are in the job. Bring written references and especially any documents that the employer has asked you to bring or that may add value to your application.
-
The Interview – Everything your mother ever told you and more is relevant at the interview. Sit up straight and still, look the interviewer in the eye, don’t mumble, don’t interrupt and above all, smile even if you’re nervous. Sound like a cinch? Not without some practice! The best attitude to have when going into a job interview is that it’s good practice. Anything more or anything less could spell disaster for your performance.

Your Business Needs Its Own Memorable Slogan to Make Ads, Website, and Yellow Pages Stand OutYour Slogan is the “Headline” for Your BusinessTell people in a short phrase or sentence what you want them to know or remember about your business. The best ones conjure up a strong mental image, that will be forever linked with you in their memories. A little wit, humor, insight, unusual (yet relevant) spin goes a long way toward making it stick.If you don’t stand out during the famous first impression, (or in a later contact) there won’t be anything for them to recall later. They’ll draw a blank – which means they don’t feel any connection to you at all. So few businesses have a good ate whether it’s from a part-time or casual job or even a sporting team.

Plan To Succeed In Your BusinessWe’ve all heard the saying: If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. But I like to think of it another way. Ask yourself, “am I planning to succeed?”In business, it’s important to follow a plan. It’s important to have a plan for your year, each week, and each day. Otherwise, you’re being reactive in your business instead of being proactive. When you’re proactive, you control your business – it doesn’t control you.Here are three easy-to-follow tips to creating and following a successful plan:1. Start with the end in mind. Set a deadline for your goal. Write the completion of your goa l, smile even if you’re nervous. Sound like a cinch? Not without some practice! The best attitude to have when going into a job interview is that it’s good practice. Anything more or anything less could spell disaster for your performance. Use the interviewer’s name, bring notes to the interview if necessary and ask permission to use them. Great for the nerves and most employers won’t mind.

Volunteer Work – Nothing says passion and commitment to an employer like someone who does volunteer work. During your job search, some volunteer work related to your field would help an under-resourced charity organisation and also give you current and marketable skills.
So, what are you waiting for? It’s time to show off your talents!
